Chapter 9 - Stuck in Time

She knew she had to gather strength to jump through that portal with the child alive.

Zen had lost control and was trying to gain complete access to the system, It seemed it would take him longer than normal to gain access, Kira had done it well .

Kira stood up with the child, found herself in the past and teleported her far away where she had first run off to after the whole incident, she knew she would change her name and all when She realised what she had done

She found the time portal opened and as She was about to jump right through with the child, She could see Leah and the rest at the other end of the portal.

Zen seemed to notice She was about to leave with the child , He use his telekinesis to push her away from the portal.

" You're never leaving, not with that child".

" I am leaving and with this child".

Kira said as she stood up, out of the bag, she brought out a wristcom.

" Its over ,Zen".

" Actually it's not over in the future but like now its over " She started trash talking.

" I don't know if you get it but what I mean's that the battle continues from the future, I mean in the future".

Zen was confused with her blabbering.

" So see you in the future ".

" On the battle field".

She blazed him out as hot larva sprouted from the wristcom.

Zen could not withstand the heat because his metallic body parts would melt or be over heated and become less efficient.

Kira jumped through the portal but she didn't cross over, it was like she was hanging in time, she could see events pass and go by and when she looked to the end, she could see Leah and Aimèè and Sia and Jay .

She thought they were praying.

She knew Zen would not give up so easily.

She felt him trying to pull her out but the pull from the events in the portal was stronger than his telekinesis pull.

She could see the past and the present and the future clashing in the time pool.

She knew this was where She would stop, She looked at the baby.

They were already far from the portal end as they were in the time pool, She kissed the baby and flung him with all her might towards the portal end, She could not make it because she was being held by Zen.

She looked at Leah to close the portal so at least she doesn't die by Zen's hand.

She held on tightly to the train going to school in the past in the pool.

Zen didn't want to let go He thought She still had the child with her.

She saw Jay stretch his arms to the child and Leah tear filled face as she said some words to her facing her directly and Then she saw the portal shut down.

She was stuck in time!

She was stuck in events She had no knowledge about.

she could live here and gain knowledge but she was stuck in history.

She was bothered that she could not get out but even more bothered because She had no idea how long she would be in that time pool.

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

As Jay stretched out his arm to catch the child, He saw the child ,It looked like the child was defragmenting , like He was disappearing, It was like teleporting, He was defragmenting and rebuilding in another place and location.

" Leah!,Leah!" Jay screamed not knowing if to run to Leah or watch the baby.

" Leah!".

" what the hell?".

His voice had a mixture of emotions.

" Come over Leah, I don't understand what the hell's going on".

Leah came over.

" Stay calm". She said as She patted him on the shoulder

" What's going on, I don't understand".

" I mean the baby's disappearing and you're not saying anything".

He looked at Sia and Aimèè.

They looked unnerved.

"It's really nothing to be worried about ,Jay".

" It's not?". He asked

More of a question than a statement.

She nodded

She summoned an onscreen monitor, She starting touching air and diagrams and lines started appearing.

" what's that".

Jay asked pointing to a location on the screen.

" That's his location".

" His?, Whose this His?".

" He's the one we've been waiting for".

" He?, If I get you right you mean its Kira's child".

She nodded.

Not wanting to talk for fear that emotions might start welling up.

Any talk about Kira would break her down and that would be disastrous for them.

She hadn't even talked about them leaving Earth.

She knew Zen would be coming after them any time soon.

" Coming to our time He had to pass through phases in the time pool in the time machine".

" What are time pools".

" Think of a Time machine as a machine with thousands of events in it, like a long movie link and you can choose which ones are relevant to you, the ones you want to watch".

Sia was explaining.

" Kira succeeded in birthing and also threw the baby to the time pool, He was able to pass through the relevant events which would happen if He had been born in the past".

" In a relatively short period in the time pool" .

Aimèè added.

"At this time" Aimèè was saying since She could see into time.

" The boy should be preparing teens for takeover".

" Okay, okay!". Jay started.

" I think I get whatcha all saying but how do we find " Him".

Leah turned to the screen.

" I was able to find his location during his transition from the time pool to his current location".

" He's at Ifite, Anambra in Nigeria".

There was a long laugh.

" What's wrong".

" You just said He's in Africa, Nigeria to be precise". Aimèè was saying.

" How come ?".

" Don't know but we have to find him ,so we can leave with his takeover Buddies".

There was order.

" What'd you mean by 'leave' ".

It was Aimèè.

" We're leaving Earth"

" To ?".

" To mars".

Leah did not really need to explain anything.

" My question's not why we're leaving".

" How are we gonna leave without Zen noticing".

" That's a question".

It was more of a statement.

" We've already lost Kira ,we can't afford to lose another person".

" If we leave ,how do we start all over again".

" How do we move our labs and all your tech stuff to our new world and home".

" How do we survive in a world quite different from ours".

They all probed questions at her.

Leah got tired.

" One step at a time".

They saw Leah's frustration and they all felt bad for making her feel tensed.

" We're sorry Leah".

" We were just inconsiderate".

" We're sorry".

Sia said and hugged Leah.

They needed her in good shape to take control.

" Leah ,I know I'm sometimes stupid but I know you're the best head nut I've come across".

" And I'm not disturbed cause I know you're gonna find a solution or one of your tech stuff's gonna come out handy".

" I know c....

" Wait a minute that's it".

Leah screamed and shouted in excitement.

A bright problem solving idea was ready.

" I once carried out a project".

" Here it comes" Jay rubbed his hand in expectation.

" What was it about". Sia asked.

" 3D printing".

" Only this time ,it involved 3d tech and teleportation".

" This could only get better". Jay said.

" I could teleport a whole city by creating a Electrogmanetic field around it and recreate it in another location while destroying it in its present location".

" So where does the 3d tech come in".

It was Aimèè.

" In a case of security, or maybe trying to protect".

" As teleportation occurs , the 3D printing tech takes an exact scan and duplicates It in its actual location".

" Why take the trouble of Re-3d printing, why not just duplicate the city in the other location".

Aimèè said, it seemed easier.

" You need a three dimensional city not a two dimensional drawing".

" That's where the 3D printer comes to play, It creates a 3D model of the original building in the other location".

" And besides you want the original not the duplicate".

" The duplicate is same with the original".

Aimèè argued.

" And the technique seems like teleportation to me, no need for the 3D printing".

" Teleportation creates the exact particulate matter destroyed in one location in the other location".

Aimèè was in her element.

" You might want to handle it yourself...

Leah was already saying.

" Well If you look at it .....

" I think we should leave the troubles about duplicates and originals".

Sia stepped in.

" Totally agree, though I personally enjoyed watching you both argue" It was Jay being stupid as usual.

" Aimèè, it's how the system was designed".

Sia said to Aimèè.

" Yeah, I know that". She said in a lazy tone.

" So how do we go about all it".

Sia turned to her Leah.

" We leave this night".

" Does it have to be so urgent?".

It was Aimèè.

" what about the dude we're supposed to find?". It was Jay.

" Leave to where?" It was Sia.

" We'll find him but first we have to leave this place".

Leah started saying.

" It's dangerous here".

" We may need someone to stay behind and find him ".

" You just said we have to leave ".

Sia began

" How do we find him?".

" Who will?".

" That's it... Leah started saying.

" Someone has to stay back in earth ti find him".

" And be our informant".

" I can do that".

" Woah, woah ,woah".

It was Jay.

" Easy on decisions girl, this is not a one minute thing".

" I suppose so".

This was supposed to be a tough decision for whoever was going to stay but it seemed like thinking about it only made the decision seem to big.

" You don't know what this entails.....

" I know what you're gonna say Leah,that It's dangerous and you can do it and to repay Kira and stuffs about that.....

" But we can't afford to lose you".

" The battle has not even started and we already lost Kira".

" None of us with our superpowers has the knowledge that you possess....

" We need you in tight so you can be there for us".

The room went quiet.

Everything she had said was true.

Only Aimèè had control of her superpower, She had not even exercised the full potentials of her powers.

Jay did not have full control over his force field.

Sia could not control her pyrokinesis.

Leah was the only person who could train them on how to use their superpowers.

" But it doesn't have to be you".

It was Jay.

He was being realistic ,playtime was over.

" It can't be you neither can it be Aimèè".

Sia said to Jay.

" I've made up my mind".

" That was a few minutes ago". Jay protested

" I still made the decision".

" I don't think you're thinking Sia".

" I don't want to be thinking".

" You're making a wrong decision".

" One that will benefit all".

" Think about it again".

" I don't want to".

Jay was breaking down emotionally.

It was obvious He had more with Sia .

Sia was trying to be strong and act like She didn't care.

Jay was going to break down emotionally and It was like He was going to cry.

The room went quiet, the other two allowed the conversation to go .

This was going to be a long separation, Jay would need all the time he get.

They all had to be frank with themselves ,it may take a long while before they see Sia again ,they also had to deal with the fact that she may not be alive.

The setting broke up, Leah and Aimèè knew that they needed time alone.

They left them.

Jay fell into a couch.

" What next".

Jay asked.

" I don't know".

Sia answered.

" You're serious".

" I'm not joking".

" What if...

" There are no what ifs, Jay".

" I have to do this".

" Why you?".

" I'm the only option".

" Who told you that?".

" You know that".

" That's why you're helpless".

" Else you could have created a force field".

" And you know I can't get out".

Jay smiled, It was true.

That was one thing He loved about her.

She was super smart.

Another superpower she possessed.

He stood up from the couch towards her.

He held out her hands.

" Promise me you'll do all to stay alive".

" You know I can't ".

" Why not?".

" The odds are slim".

" well I know you will"

" How'd you know that".

" Just shoot out fire from these hands".

He held out her hands in his.

She laughed.

Jay knew how to make her happy, He knew how to make anybody happy.

He was a medicine and she knew she was going to miss him.

They had always had feelings for each other but Sia wanted to keep it safe.

Sia could not take the risk of letting someone she cared about so much get hurt by her.

Her power was a threat and She let Jay know She could not afford to have him too close to her only to lose him because of her stupid silly powers.

" I'll miss you Jay".

" I'll miss you too".

She hugged him tight and when He let loose, They kissed.
