Time Traveller

I hesitated since day 1 (which was day 7 of this week by the way...). So please, tell me if it’s good xD

The teens didn’t really know how those guys could come in the Hub but there they were. Those who live there still wore their civies while the other Outsiders and Traci were already in costume.

“I don’t know who you are guys or what do you want from us. But even Savage rang the bell before coming here.”

“You’re friend with Savage?” asked the girl.

“Of course not. He just used us to get rid of a common enemy of Earth”, replied Virgil.

“We mean no harm guys”, continued a red hair girl. “I just wanted to meet my cousin, Bart.”

“His what now?”

“I can’t be your cousin”, the concerned teen answer. “I’m…”

He cut himself. That would be a too big spoiler.

“From the future. We know. We come from then too. I’m your cousin, daughter of Dawn.”

“It can’t be. It can’t be me. I didn’t have a cousin in the– my future. Dawn… she died when she was around twenty. She didn’t have a chance to have a child.”

“Don’t you get it, hermano?” Jaime exclaimed. “You did it! You changed the future!”

“He did what?” a boy from the stranger group repeated.

“Anyway, let’s go back to the point! I’m Jenni, Bart. Your cousin.”

“I told you I’m not. You are the cousin of the future me. The one who isn’t born yet. Not in this time. Not this me.”

“Does it really matter? He told me there is another him and I wanted to meet you. Now because we would be around the same age. I have two cousins instead of one, it’s so great! Don’t you think?”

“I– I think so. But did you really come now as a tourist?”

“Why not? You did it too.”

“That was a cover.”

“Anyway, do you want to come back with us? With me? Uncle said he wouldn’t mind another son and– your future you, he really wants a big brother. Or a twin? Depends of you age. Come on, it would be so great.

Bart’s eyes widened. That would be crash indeed. He would finally have his place in the world, have parents again and family where he could call his grands-parents as so and not risking saying a spoiler. He could be free. He could be home.

“Bart?”

The speedster turned around to see his boyfriend, a scared and worried look on his eyes.

“What about us?”

“I– I don’t know, Ed. Maybe that would be your chance to find your true love.”

“What are you talking about?”

“What if I’m stealing the place of someone else? I can’t be your true love…”

“What if you are?”

“I’m not! Don’t you understand? I wasn’t never meant to be in love with someone of this time, to start a family now. I’m not at my place here. I’m not supposed to be here. I’ve done my job already.”

“Is that why you don’t care of what happen to you on mission?”

“It won’t matter, Ed. But it would be so moded if something happens to you, guys. For me, it’s ok. I’ll still have the real me who’ll be born in the future.”

“Don’t call him the real you. You are as real as he will be.”

“It’s ok, Bart. Just comes with us. You’ll be at home with me and the rest of the family.”

Bart turned to Jenni, a hopeful look in his eyes.

“But there would be three Bart, right?” pointed out Virgil. “This one growing old, the one born in the future and our Bart. Since the first and last ones are the same, that won’t be good, right?’

“This Bart– This Bart is dead from aging” answer Jenni with a shaken voice.

“Aging? But Bart would be like 55 years old in your future”, calculated Jaime.

“Actually, he was more than 60.”

“No, it doesn’t make any sense. Jay is almost a century old and he looks like 30 or 40 younger.”

“So now that you’re lost your Bart, you want to steal ours?” growled Cassie. “He belongs with the Outsiders. With us. With Ed.”

The Argentinean wasn’t aware of what happened anymore. He clenched as his moon pendant. So that how Bart felt all the time? Like a stranger? An outsider? Did he– did he force himself to date Ed just to make him happy? Did he have any feelings for him at all?

“Bart?” He hated how his voice was small and weak. “Do you really want to go?”

“I–”

“Wait, hermano! You can’t go in the future, that would kill you.”

“What do you mean?” asked Cassie.

“What if Bart lands in his own future instead of theirs? Or– what if he disappears during the travel? You can’t risk that. And that won’t help them. If you die today, they won’t meet the future you in their time.”

“What do you mean his own future?” snapped the boy. “He came back to the past as a tourist and was stuck there.”

“That was his covert because he couldn’t reveal the Reach Apocalypse yet when he arrived.”

“What is this apocalypse you’re talking about?”

“Before the future you come from, there were another one. An apocalyptic, dystopic one”, explained Virgil. “The Reach invasion where they enslaved humanity. Bart came back to the past to change that and saved Earth. So, we could deject them two years ago.”

“Deject?”

“So you change the future more than we expected”, resume Jenni.

“What do you mean?” Bart was scared now.

He always was. What if his presence brings more harm than good? What if he made it worst in the future than an apocalypse? Is that possible anyway? Well, maybe the complete destruction of the planet like they faced two years ago because he didn’t do enough, took the wrong decisions.

“Of course, you changed the future, Tito.” He turned to face Ed, worried, scared and surprise all in once. “That’s why you came here in the first place, no? And look, you succeeded. Your aunt won’t die this soon and she will meet someone and have a daughter. I’m sure it would be the same for your own parents.”

“But Joan still died. And Wally–”

“Joan died from aging. No one can stop that. Not even time travelling. And Wally helped you and the Flash to save the world.”

“Wait, uncle Wally is dead? But he–” Jenni started but her companion nudged her in the ribs.

“You don’t understand! If I didn’t screw everything up, Blue wouldn’t have trusted Green Beetle and Wally will still be here!”

And now he was crying. Again. He promised himself he won’t anymore. Jaime hugs him from behind, he didn’t fight it, too tired to fight.

“Hermano, it’s not your fault about that. If I wasn’t blinded by fear, I would have connected the dots and understood Green was on mode since he wasn’t in your future.”

“I should have guessed that too!”

“You didn’t have the time, hermano. I jumped in the Reach trap too fast.”

“You can’t be faster than a speedster.”

He laughed a little at this, a weak laugh, but it was there anyway.

“Prevent an apocalypse, huh? So, you see, no need to bring him with us.”

“Wait, what? What do you mean?” Virgil reacted.

“Jenni, spoilers!” He turned himself to face the Outsiders. “Your friend time travelled illegally. He didn’t have the authorisation to change the past. We have for mission to bring him to the justice in our time, which regulates time travel to be certain nothing bad and irremediable happens to our timeline.”

“Are you stupid or just deft?” Ed was screaming now as Jaime comforted his boyfriend. “We told you he came from a different future. You wouldn’t be there to complain if it wasn’t for him. Heck, his cousin would not even be born if it wasn’t for him. He saved your butts, you hypocrites!”

“Do you imagine how big changes he would bring in the future?”

“That was the whole point, boludos! And it won’t be changes as this timeline didn’t exist in the first place!” Ed told back.

“But you don’t know what could happen if someone else find his work about time travel!”

“Ed.”

A hand gently landed on his forearm. Bart was looking at him with soft, sad eyes, still shining with dry tears.

“You know I’m an anomaly. I’m the one who found the science for time travel. It would be safer if this knowledge disappears with me. You never know what could happen in the future. If I must die to protect the mission of my life, so be it.”

“But it’s not fair, Tito! You saved us all from the Reach. You saved Jaime, you saved the metateens. Heck, maybe you saved Virgil and I and all of us as well. Maybe we died on this ship or be sent off world like the teenagers in New Genesis. You saved us all and you can’t be happy? They have the chance to exist thanks to you and to have a happy life while you can’t? I can’t accept it, it’s not fair! You’re the most deserves to be happy and beloved.”

Ed bite his lips, he can’t cry too. He knew he messed his last sentence, but he couldn’t think properly, yet alone in a foreign language.

The tears were there again, but for a different reason. Bart was still not used to his boyfriend’s sweetness and care. He was like a wind finding his way through the wall around his heart which gently envelop him with softness.

“I love you, Edi. But I must go.”

“No, Tito. It’s not fair, it’s not fair!” Ed was crying too, couldn’t bear to see Bart’s tears, to tell him farewell already. “You can’t leave, they will kill you.”

“No, don’t worry, we will just erase his knowledge of time travel machine, that’s all!” Jenni reassures awkwardly.

“Jenni, spoilers”, her friend recalled, tired. “And how do you think the court will erase his memories?”

“So, they will– they will do it? But you said–”

“I lied, obviously.”

“Wait… Did they– kill this old Bart too? You said he had a heart attack.”

“Obviously. How did you believe a speedster could have a heart attack with fast healing? Sometimes Jenni, you’re really the dumbass of your family.”

The girl was watching her friend with shock and pain in her widened eyes. But she quickly regained composure as she clenched her fists.

“You”, she said to Ed, “make him leave before he kills him. I’ll hold him back.”

“Voy a ayudarla, hermano”, added Jaime. “!Venga!” he screamed to Ed.

Eduardo took his boyfriend’s hand and went to the Zeta tube. He wrote their destination as fast as he could and jumped in it, still holding Bart’s hand.

“Edi, wait! They’re still–”

Bart didn’t have the time, they were teleported else were. He had no idea where, he didn’t recognize the landscape. Were they still in USA by the way?

“Edi, where–”

“In Argentina, mi Tito. He won’t think to come here for you.”

“But we have to go back. He will kill them! He just wants me.”

“When the Reach wanted Jaime, you intervened, right? When villains were kidnapping teenagers, you intervened, right? When I needed help in the Center, when I was digging myself in my workaholic routine, you intervened, right? Same here. We protect our own and you’re part of the Team, you’re an Outsider. You’re our friend and mi novio. We won’t let him kill you. We’ll protect you. No matter what.”

“But I don’t des–”

Ed shush him with his finger on his lips.

“Of course, you deserve it, mi Tito. Most of us would have died without you. You have the right to live, to be happy with us, with me. Do you still want to? Me– me amas, Tito?”

“Por sopuesto”, Bart replied, using his throat instead of his tongue to roll the R. “I love you, Edi. Why do you ask me this?”

“Because– because you could force yourself just to make me happy. Like you force yourself to smile to not make the others worry.”

“Edi…” Bart begins as he took his hand, laced their fingers. “I love you, I promise. I won’t ever lie with someone’s feelings. I’m just– not used to the dating thing yet. Didn’t exist in my future. But I’m learning.”

And now he was fidgeting, not at ease. Ed kissed him, cupping his face.

“I know, Tito, you’re not used to be taken care of. It’s okay, we’ll take our time, because we have all of we need. We won’t let them kill you, nor now or in the future. You’ll grow old, Tito. I promise.”

“Promise me we’ll grow old together then.”

“Juntos. Te lo promiso.”
