"Yes?" Castle asks, acting innocently surprised.

"The CPU," The Terminatrix said, along with a hiss.

"Oh that," Castle said. "I destroyed it."

The Terminatrix grabs him up by the neck.

"You...what?" The Terminatrix asks.

"Destroyed it," Castle said, feeling his windpipes being squeezed.

"We had a bargain," The Terminatrix said, along with a growl.

"Not with humanity," Castle said.

The Terminatrix tightens her grip.

"Hey!" Came a rather broad and deep voice.

The Terminatrix turns her head only to be punched square at the face. The Terminatrix lets go of Castle staggering back. Her hand turns into a chainsaw. Castle looks up to see a man similar to Dwayne Johnson standing mere feet away from him. Castle gasps feeling a sense of excitement at one of his all time idols.

"The rock?" Castle asks. "I am a huge fan!"

"Not the rock," T-1002 said. "I chose this template."

The Terminatrix lunges at T-1002.

The T-1002 expected this by sending a sharp long object through her chest. He takes out the sharp object letting the Terminatrix collapse to her knees. The T-1002's right hand morphs into a long sword reflecting off the light made by the flames. The Terminatrix lets out a leaning over with hands on the pavement. The T-1002 slices the Terminatrix in half. The blue light in the Terminatrix's eyes fade away indicating she is dead beyond return.

"A..Are you...?" Castle starts to ask, puzzled and scared.

"I am not," T-1002 said. "Until we meet again..."

"Richard Castle," Castle said. "Who sent you?"

The T-1002 tilts his head.

"The Richard Castle?" The T-1002 asks.

Castle nods.

"Yes," Castle said.

The T-1002 straightens his head.

"Your daughter sent me," T-1002 said. "After the T-1000 was sent to kill you."

"Ah ha!" Castle said. "It makes sense now!" He looks so happy about this. "He was sent to kill me before I went and got rid of any evidence that could lead to Skynet's existence." He rubs his hands rather excitedly. "I can't believe my daughter got her hands on a Terminator and reprogrammed it!"

"Fortunately for you I chose on my own," T-1002 said.

Castle blinks, at first startled.

"You chose?" Castle asks.

"I have a soul, Richard," T-1002 said. "Just like the first Hybrid T-11," He sighs. "She plead. I could not find a shred in my heart to say 'no'. It took some persuasion by a man resembling T-11 yet his legs lacked skin....Wait. That was T-11!"

Castle is puzzled.

"When are you from?" Castle asks.

"The future," T-1002 said.

"What year?" Castle asks.

"2029," T-1002 said.

My daughter went to the future with T-11,Castle realizes as he gasps.

"That must be significant," T-1002 notes on Castle's reaction.

Castle nods.

"My family was wiped out in Judgement Day in your past," Castle said. "I guess they just went."

"She wanted me to tell you this," T-1002 said. "I forgive you. And there's a letter on the table."

Castle wipes off a tear.

"Thank you," Castle said.

"You better leave, Richard," T-1002 said. "I'll be seeing you around."

T-1002 walks across from Castle.

"What do you mean?" Castle asks.

"I am getting a job to live in this world!" T-1002 shouts back. "Enough of those questions! And we will meet again."

"Don't get caught!" Castle shouts.

"Oh, I'll be sure not to," T-1002 said, rolling an eye.
