Rotham City

Random worker-"hey look theres another child injured here"
#2-"what the? where did he come from?"
#1-"I don't know but he could suffer some extreme mental trauma if that injury not's taking care of"
#2-"you want to go take a coffee break?"
#1-"sure"

*they leave*

-_- "great, I'll take care of the kid"

*shadowsteps with the kid till they arrive in a hospital outside the city (just in case)*

Royal teleports next to him with the younger Royal,who was Nat at the moment

Royal pushes Shadow in
"get in,get in,get in,GET IN"

once they were inside,Royal looked outside,where policemen were looking around

Young Royal wipes her eye and walks ahead to the front desk,but her expression was neutral

as was the Present Royal's expression

!?! is taking the unconcious, younger version of himself on a little trip.

1st Stop: Local power plant.
Result: One fried, unconcious child.

2nd Stop: The local bakery
Result: One fried, baked and unconcious child.

3rd Stop: Large hill a few miles away, where it is raining.
Result: NEAR DEAD, unconcious child.

4th Stop: Nuclear power plant
Result: Unconcious child, left alone outside.

End result: A brain-damaged kid, left alone VERY far away, being affected by radioactive energy.

OoC-dude,u just killed urself

OoC: No, that's how !?! is !?!. He's the brain-dead child. "I'm !?!. Can I help y- Wait, where am I? *Walks off*" That's how it all started... I think.

"I need to be elsewhere. Take care of the kid."

he walks out the door (he's Lloyd at the moment, he doesn't want to alert the younger Nat into the existance of shadow or frost). He also doesn't want to tell the younger people that he's the child that landed on the machine.

as soon as he's out of the hospital he takes off, wrapping shadows around him as he runs to become invisible.

what are you doing?
I'm going to where I disappeared to for a week after I healed enough to wake up.
...where we gained control of you concious?
yes
isn't that also the place you wanted to show that girl...but because of the rampage you didn't?
yes. Please stop jumping into my memories.
thats where i reside...just like shadow resides in your emotions.

When Dracos arrived at his once favorite place in the world he climbed the old oak to a rope hanging from a branch over a small but deep pool of water (a spring). He grabbed hold of it and stared off into the sunset, wondering what his new future might hold.

little Nat and big Royal(at this point,she is a fancy girl in a black and blue dress,so she doesnt stand out) check little Lloyd into the hospitle and take him into a room

"stay with him" Royal commanded her younger self
"dont leave him under ANY curcumstances

Nat gave Royal a look and said "u think id be stupid enough to leave him alone after THAT?"

Royal laughed and left the room
as soon as she was out the door,she teleported in a thin puff of smoke

Lloyd was staring into the distance at the sunset.

He'd never once shown Nat this place before their breakup...it was definately too late for this him...so if the other him resisted the darkness long enough to heal what ever mental stress I was under back then. Frost a little advice?
I don't do love
Yuck, emotions
They're becoming weaker aren't they

"hm
pretty"

Nat walked up behind Lloyd,looking at the water,in her human form

"now i feel guiltier than ever about the accident
i never had a chance to see this till now" she geastured around

Lloyd is startled and falls...a short fall and landed on his back next to Nat.

after recovering his wits he smiles,
"Why do i keep falling for you?...why are you here?"

Nat shrugs playfully at the first question and helps him up as she answers the second question
"i had nothing better to do and its better if i stay out of the path of time
u never know...i make a lot of mistakes
i couldve altered time if i hadnt left" she shrugged again,knealed by the pond,and skimmed her fingers on the water

"you did alter time. And...do you remember my rampage clearly anymore? If things continue like this everything will be great...and we can be together."
He was sitting next to her at the pond. he seemed to be kinda red.

!?! appears behind them. "You cannot change the course of history. If you were to go back in time and make yourself do something totally different, then you would never go back in time. So the you from the past would not have his decisions altered, and grow up to go back in time and change his judgement. It is theoretically impossib- HEY LOOK A BIRDIE!" !?! runs after the bird, completely ruining his one shining moment of genius. Or was he still as absentminded as ever and reading the back of a gum wrapper? The world may never- HEY LOOK, FISHIES!

"All I know is that if I set a loop where the future me makes sure that I have this event happen and that one does the same, it will continue forever successfully altering time."

-_- thanks for ruining the moment !?!

Hey, that's his job. Along with annoying people. And causing explosions. And... well, more explosions.

OoC
O.O
of course -_-

Nat flickes her hand behind her and ?!? teleports to some secluded rock surrounded my explosives

she went back to answering Lloyd

"i remember flickers
must be changing

and,as long as little me stays at the hospitle like i told her,it wouldnt have mattered anyways"

Nat smiled sideways at him

Lloyd looks at her, puts his hand on hers, and for the first time in a while he genuinely smiles happily.

"I told you once before our break up...but I want to say it once more. Nat. I love you."

!?! is sitting on the hospital roof next to a cage of man-eating tigers. The shiny key is at his feet. The stairs all the way down the hospital are unblocked. He is curious as to the purpose of this shiny tool of which he thinks he has seen before. He also wonders what the big flashy ticky timer things he brought from Nevada do.

!?! [It is not meant to be pronounced, let alone spoken]
noun
1. A punctuation sequence that means the sentence was a question spoken with astonishment
2. A nonsense expression which means that they are shocked yet confused
3. A mental-patient with the ability to do anything for absolutely no reason whatsoever.

OOC: "Enough explosives to give Hitler a run for his money." I have to write that down.

Out of Character
O.o
uh-oh

Back IN Character-

Nat smiles and leans on Lloyd's arm
"ditto"

!?! walks into Lloyds hospital room. "Kids, don't try this at home unless you have GOVERNMENT supervision." He jumps into the air and lands on the mob of angry tigers running down the hall. A few tigers run into their room, and prepare to pounce.

The timer on the bomb reads 3:14... in counting.

OoC: 3:14 (3.14) be Pi.

Little Nat hypnosises the tigers and sets them on Hellix,then picks Lloyd up and speeds outa there towards their counter parts

Something was wrong. Lloyd was remembering the rampage.

something bad was gonna happen. Why now...he and Nat had finally made up.

"Nat. *sits her up gently* I have to go. I'll be back soon."

He then shadowsteps (at least I still have my powers) and arrives at the hospital after a minute or two. There he was and so was Nat.

if thats not the problem...then wha-

!?! passes by on the tigers

oh god no...why now?

"Hey! !?! theres a shiny thing you left somewhere. Go get it...and then go play on the shiny thing in the sky."
