2. AN UNEXPECTED MEETING

CHAPTER TWO: AN UNEXPECTED MEETING

---

25 NOVEMBER 1963

The wind was whipping and blowing as a young boy with short dark brown raven hair, green eyes and was wearing a blue school uniform. A dress shirt, tie, and vest underneath a blue blazer with matching schoolboy short, he had blue shorts and black knees length socks on.

The boy whose name was Five felled through the blue vortex, landing on the ground in an alley.

He put his hands under himself before his face could hit the ground.

He got up before taking a small step backwards.

Hearing the whipping noise from above him, he looked up to see the blue vortex above him.

"LUTHER! DIEGO!" he shouted, hoping to get a respons or that his siblings would fall through the vortex, but instead the vortex closed with a zap.

Then he heard distant overlapping gunshots from behind him, causing him to turn around, looking at the opening in the alley.

He furrowed his brows as he walked forwards to the end of the alley way that he had landing in.

He looked around at the scene in front of him as he could hear nearby machine-gun fire and bullets ricocheting while people was shouting indistinctly Russian.

Buildings was on fire and destroyed. There were abandoned cars spread out with their widows bashed in, and there were bullet holes on buildings and walls while soldiers was running across the street, shooting, it was a war zone.

A loud whooshing sound came from the sky causing Five to look up and he saw two jet fighters flying across the sky and a few seconds later there was a big explosion in the distance.

Five then spotted a newspaper that was laying between rocks and bricks and he ran over to it, bending down and grabbed the side of the newspaper to read it.

"'Soviets attack US'"?" he read as the sound of a machine-gun fire and men shouting in Russian was heard.

Five got up before he stumbled forward "No, this can't be right" he said as he looked around the war zone "Gonna get you out. Keep your head down" a English soldier said to a injured man.

"Medic! Medic!" another English soldier shouted as the sound of overlapping shouts was heard.

"Hey, kid, get down!" a soldier shouted at Five as he was standing next to a tank that had slowed down before stopping.

"What the hell did we do now?" Five said as he was looking around the war zone.

Then a loud sound came from the tank behind him, shooting out a missile causing Five to jump off to the side.

The missile flew through the air, forward, but it was stopped as Vanya whose skin was pale and eyes was ice blue, floated up in midair with her arms out towards it and with her powers, she stopped the missile and it exploded causing the metal to bend backwards before it turn into a cloud of smoke.

A group of soldiers charge towards Klaus, but he lifted up his hands and the ghosts from the dead soldiers appeared behind him before he push his hands forward making the ghosts to charge towards the soldiers who all started screaming in fear.

There was a shout form the air and Luther landed on the ground next to Klaus before he put his arms out at his sides as one of the soldiers shot a missile towards Luther, hitting him in the back, making a explosion behind Luther.

He let out a scream as the explosion died out, nothing happen to Luther.

A man let out a scream as a blue tentacle wrapped around him before lifting him up into the air and threw him backwards.

Ben was standing up on top of a building, grabbing three men, one by one before throwing them around.

"Hey" Allison said causing three soldiers to turn around and look at her. She stopped before putting her arms up slightly "I heard a rumor that I blew your minds" she said, her voice echoing as the sound waves traveled to the soldiers' ears and the three mens' head blew up before falling to the ground.

The sound of overlapping shouts was heard as some soldiers ran towards Diego who was standing on top of a overturn police car.

The soldiers lifted their guns and Diego jumped off the car, flipping around in the air as the soldiers started shooting at him.

While flipping around in the air, he control the bullets in the air making them turn around and hit the soldiers instead, causing them to fell dead on the ground.

"Five! You sick son of a bitch where the hell have you been?" Diego suddenly shouted at Five.

He was about to move forward to join the battle, but then a sound of energy zaps appeared and a hand grabbed Five's shoulder causing him to stop and he saw Hazel with a briefcase in his hand "If you wanna live, come with me" Hazel said "Hazel. What the hell's going on here?" Five asked "There's no time to explain" Hazel said before he pointed up ahead towards the nukes that was coming from the sky "Those are nukes, old-timer" he said as the sound of missiles droning was heard and Five looked back at Hazel.

"What about my family?" Five asked worried "You can't save them if you're dead" Hazel said.

Five grabbed onto Hazel's hand before they teleported away.

The siblings all looked up at the sky as the sound of explosions booming was heard.

When the nukes hit the ground, a huge exploding went off in the distance, they were pushed away forcefully as the nuke destroyed everything include the siblings.

November 15, 1963

"Dad?" you asked as you and your dad was in the living room "Why can't we try to approach these people instead of taking pictures?" you asked "Because they might be spies, assassin, agents or anything else that is dangerous" he answered "I can also approached them for you" you said "Nope. You might get hurt or killed if you approach them, they look dangerous" he said "Well, some of them don't" you said "Well, don't get fooled by looks. 'Cause a little school boy might look cute outside, but inside, he might be an assassin or something else dangerous" he said and you rolled your eyes with a smile, thinking your dad was a little paranoid.

"Have you considered what you are gonna do if one of them discovers those antennas and the camera at the roof and decide to come in here?" you asked "I haven't thought about that. But I wouldn't worry about that, until now none of them had noticed anything" he said.

"Well, we know one of them is in a mental hospital so the rest must be just as weird, crazy and dangerous as that guy dress in black" you said "Yeah, maybe you are right" he said.

"Well I will go out for a walk" you grab your jacket "Want to come, we can go to our favorite café?" you asked "No, I have some work I want to do, but tomorrow we're having a father daughter day" he said "Love to" you put your jacket on before you opened the door.

"See you later. Love you" you said "Love you too. See you later, be careful" he said "I will" you said as you left the apartment.

---

The sound of energy zaps was heard as Five and Hazel appeared on the same street but everything was different, it was more quiet and peaceful.

"Okay..." Five said while looking around "What the hell was that?" he asked as he looked back at Hazel "The end of the world, November 25, 1963" Hazel answered "'63..." Five said while looking around confused before he chuckled softly as he put his hands together, looking back at Hazel.

"You know, Hazel, I'm no history buff, but I don't recall there being a nuclear holocaust" he said "No shit" Hazel said as the two looked around "What about my family?" Five asked as he looked back at Hazel "Dead, like everyone else" Hazel answered "And where am I now?" Five asked "Dallas. Same street. 10 days earlier. Plenty of time to restore the timeline and save them" Hazel said before he sat down on a bench "Okay" Five whispered before he sat down next to Hazel.

"So where do we start?" Five asked "'We'? You're on your own, pal. I'm just here to keep a promise to Agnes" Hazel said "Is she...?" Five asked "Dead?" Hazel asked "Yeah" Five said and Hazel nodded "Cancer" he said as he remember the time he shared with the woman he loved "Took her quick. But we had 20 good years together. I guess forever just wasn't the cards" he said "I'm sorry Hazel" Five said with a voice that he actually cared and felt sorry for Hazel.

"What about The Commission?" Five asked "I quit those assholes, remember? I don't owe them the fuzz off my peaches" Hazel said and Five looked forward and that's when he spotted three men walking towards them. The men had almost the same face, the same eye color and they had platinum blonde hair.

"Well then, who the hell are those guys?" Five asked as he got up and the three guys lifted up their guns, pointing them at Five and Hazel "Shit" Hazel said before he put something in Five's pocket "Run" he said and gave Five the briefcase and just as the men started shooting at them, Five blinked away while Hazel was shot multiple times in the chest causing pedestrians to start screaming.

A minute earlier.

You were walking down the street when suddenly you heard gunshot which caused you to quickly ducked down and hide behind a park car.

You peek up to see three men, supposedly triplets as they had the same face form and same hair color.

Suddenly a bright blue light appear next to you which caused you to jump a bit and you looked to the left to see a young boy with short dark brown hair that almost look black. He looks like he was around your age. He was wearing a blue school uniform with shorts, he was holding a black briefcase that was smoking as the sound of an electricity crackling was heard.

"How many times did I say 'Bulletproof briefcase'?" the boy said before he turned to ran the other way but that caused him to bump into you causing you both to fall backwards.

"Watch it" the boy hissed "You watch it" you hissed out a little loud.

The boy peeked from behind the car and you did the same.

But the three guys spotted him and they pointed their guns at the car causing you to let out a gasp before you put your hand on the top of the boy's head "Get down" you moved both your heads down again. 

"I think they saw us" you said "You think?" the boy said sarcastically.

The three guys then started shooting at the car "Shit" you covered your ears but then the boy grab you before he blink away and you both appeared on a building's roof.  

The boy blink away again before you both appeared in an alleyway.

You let out a gasp as you stumble backwards to see that you were now in an alleyway.

"How the hell did we landed here?" you looked around confuse before you looked back at him, your Y/e/c eyes landed on his green ones.

They were actually beautiful, they remind you of the forest and the nature.

You also noticed his outfit, you have never seeing that uniform before.

"How did we landed here? We were behind a car before" you said while you were freaking out a little bit "How--we were just--Now we're here--?" you were panting and freaking out while looking around confuse.

"Listen I don't have time to explain, you better leave" he said "What about you? Why was those people shooting at you?" you asked "I don't have time to explain it to you, beside I don't need or want to. So I think it's best you leave, go home and forget about this, got it?" he said aggressive as he pointed at the alleyway.

"Okay, fine, jesus, you don't have to be such an asshole" you said before you turned around and walked out of the alleyway.

As soon as you were gone, the boy Five, looked back as he heard old-timey police siren wailing and he scratched the back of his head as he turned back and that's when he spotted someone quickly moving away causing the curtain to move a bit.

He then looked up and spotted some antennas together with a camera right above the window on the roof.

He had a feeling that the person that was living there must know something, so he walked closer to the door.

'Morty's television Radio. Shipping & Receiving'

He looked at the door before he blinked into the building.

---

Five appeared inside the building by the stairs, he walked up the stairs and he looked down the hallway as he walked up to a door.

'MORTIMER GUSSMAN D.D.S'

He tried to look through the door's window where the blinds was, but he couldn't see anything. So he knocked on the glass.

While waiting, Five couldn't shake that girl out of his mind. Maybe it was your accent that had him thinking about you. Or maybe it was the fact that you looked at him like he was a normal person. But whatever it was, you had infected his mind like a disease.   

The door next to him opened and Elliott peek out and looked at him.

"What do you want?" he asked and Five took a step forward, putting his hands in his pockets "Hi, I'm selling encyclopedias for my youth group. I was curious if--" but Five got cut off when Elliott closed the door in front of Five before he could finish the sentence.

But then Five blinked into the apartment behind Elliott causing him to turn around with a scream.

Elliott let out a shrieks as he started panting while looking for something in the kitchen drawer making cutlery clattering.

Five just tilted his head as he was staring at Elliott who grabbed a small butter knife before he pointed the knife at Five while panting "How'd you do that?" he asked as he was looking between Five and the door while holding the knife towards Five, hoping it would keep the boy away from him.

"Don't really have time to explain" Five said "You from the Pentagon? Huh?" Elliott asked and Five shook his head "Definitely not" he said "CIA? FBI? KGB?" Elliott asked.

Then the door opened which caused Five and Elliott to turn around.

Your eyes widened when you enter to see your dad pointing a butter knife on the boy from earlier.

"You again" you and the boy said at the same time.

"Hey there, stranger" the boy said as he glanced at you.

"Who are you?" he asked "Who are you?" you asked.

"What are you doing here?" he asked "I live here. What are you doing here?" you asked.

But the boy didn't answer as he spotted some coffee standing on the kitchen table "Is that fresh?" he asked, pointing on the coffee pot before he blink over to the coffee causing Elliott to let out another scream while he continued panting as you let out a gasp.

"What..." he said, quickly moving the butter knife at the boy again as he poured the coffee into the mug "How did you do that?" you asked the boy.

The boy then looked at Elliott and you. He didn't felt threated by the two of you so he remind calm as he walked into the living room and started looking around before he took a sip of the coffee.

"Hmm" he said as he turned to the guy "This Columbian?" he asked as the sound of machine beeps was heard nearby.

"No" Elliott said "It's my own blend" you answered as your dad was now standing in front of you while he still pointing the knife at the boy "This taste amazing" the boy said "Thanks" you said as the boy start scanning the room.

A newspaper article hanging on the wall. 'STRANGE LIGHTS MAY BE SPACE VISITORS' was the line on it.

The boy looked around the room at all the machines before looking back at more of the articles on the wall, reading the headlines to some of them.

'AMERICAN AIRMEN SIGHT A "FLYING SAUCER"'

'EYE-WITNESS SOTRY OF "FLYING SAUCERS" SEEN ALONG STATE BORDER AND COASTLINE'

The boy then looked around at all the machines and it look like that Elliott was doing researched on something.

"You ever heard of, uh, Area 51?" the boy asked as he walked farther into the living room before he turned to your dad again.

"Roswell?" he asked and Elliot let out a scoffs before he chuckled as he shook his head, turning around in circles while he let out another scoff and a chortles before he threw the knife onto the table to the side causing to make a clatters noise "Hot damn!" he said with a smile as he was pacing excitedly.

"Whoo! See, I always knew we weren't the only ones. See, Eleanor thought my head wasn't screwed on tight, but...but it's all true, yeah? UFOs, crop circles..." Elliott said and the boy took some steps forwards "Well, the truth is out there" he said with a smile and Elliott took some steps forward while moving his hands around slightly "No, no, no, no, no. The...The truth, it's...right here in front of us" he said as he was walking towards the boy causing him to take a few steps back.

"Tell me, wh...why is it always an anal probe?" Elliott asked and the boy leaned his head towards Elliott "Any closer, and I'll melt your brain" he said.

"He needs a little space. Yes." Elliott said before taking a few steps back "I'll be over here" he said and pointed on the couch behind him.

The boy walked towards one of the machines "All those contraptions on the roof, you built those, right?" he asked and Elliott nodded while taking a few steps to the side, following him "Oh, yeah, yeah, sure did. Yeah, I've been tracking anomalies in...in the atmosphere. Just waiting" he said.

"Waiting for what?" the boy asked, looking at him "For you" Elliott answered before he glanced at the wall "For all of you. It all started in 1960, the year the Silvertone Omega was released. I was in the middle of a sale when something very...strange happened. I saw some light while hearing energy crackling outside, so I went up to the window and I look down to see someone falling from the sky and landing in the alley. So, for the past three years, I've witnessed five energy surges in that alleyway out back. Same thing every time. A bright blue light, then something appears" Elliott explain.

"Did you get a good look at any of them" the boy said as he was looking at the picture that was trapped up on the wall. The indistinct picture showed people that have landed in the alley.

"Yeah, the first one" you said "And then the big, sensitive one" Elliott said and the boy turned to look at him as he furrowed his brows "'Sensitive'?" he asked "Yeah, cried a lot, kept coming back to the alley, sat around for hours calling a woman's name. Uh..." Elliott said, snapping his fingers, trying to remember "Allison" you said and the boy turned to the pictures again "Luther" he said.

"Yeah, he...he wasn't the only one. Uh, the others came too, off and on over the years, looking for each other. Eventually, they...they stopped" Elliott said.

"Do you know these people?" you asked "Yeah, they are my family and they are alive" the boy said as he looked at the pictures.

"Shit...I think I stranded them here" he said before he turned to Elliott "Now listen to me...." the boy started walking towards Elliott who panic as he started stumbling backwards, causing him to stumble over the couch as the boy blink away which cause you to flinch again.

"Elliott. Elliott. My name...My name's Elliott" he said, spluttering as he grabbed the table behind him to support himself as the boy blinked in front of him "Whatever, all right?" he said loudly and Elliott hit the back of his head on one of the lamps as the boy pointed back on the pictures.

"I got ten days to find them and save the world" he said before he pointed back at Elliott "Now, I need your help to do that" he said and Elliott pointed at himself "You need...my..." he said and the boy put his hands in his pockets.

"Save the world? What is that supposed to mean?" you asked "None of your concern" the boy said.

"Well, since you sounds like you need our help and since those people are your family, I think we have something" you walked over to one of the desk before you opened a draw and pulled out a newspaper.

"My dad and I always thought that this mugshot looked like arrival number four" you closed the draw before you show the article to the boy. 

The articles showed a mugshot of Diego that have being arrested.

'DISTURBED MAN WITH MULTIPLE KNIVES ARRESTED OUTSIDE 1026 N.BECKLEY' the boy read at the headline.

"Diego" he said as he took the article from you "So that's helpful?" you asked "You have no idea" the boy said before blink away causing Elliott inhale sharply.

"And he didn't even said thank you, he really is ungrateful with no manners" you said "I didn't expect that he look so normal, but he must be an alien since he can do that" your dad said "He looks very normal" you said.

'And handsome. What? Stop it Y/n, you have just met him, you don't know anything about him. He can be dangerous, there is a reason that those three people shot at him'

"I really thought I was crazy" your dad said "Well, dad, if you're crazy, so am I" you said before you looked ar your dad "But what did he mean that he only have ten days in saving the world?" you asked "I don't know" he answered. 

"Who the hell is that boy?" you asked "I have no idea, but who cares, my work finally came together" your dad happily smiled.

"A random boy who can teleport breaks into our house, threated to melt your brain, and you're happy about your work, which I understand" you said.

You were so confuse. Couldn't really concentrate because that boy keep appearing in your mind. How can he just disappear and reappear in a blue light like that? Where did he come from? And who was he?  

For some strange reason, you felt already attracted to him, it was like a tread was pulling you towards him.

You wanted to know who he was and what he meant by he only had ten days in saving the world, so you hope that he will return but you knew he would.

You kept wondering what kind of mess you and your dad had stepped into and how or if you and your dad would find your way out of it.

But you had a feeling that your life will never be the same again.
