She walked away leaving him in the alley behind her fighting the urge to look back. She had to go she didn’t belong there anymore. She hadn’t gone far when curiosity took over. She had to see where Mikey was going, she turned around and jogged back to where she had left him but he was gone, she glanced around noting that left seemed to be the only direction he could have gone it.
She started off to the left at a small jog; she jogged along the street for a few minutes before spotting a patrol of robots up ahead. Great! She thought how I could have forgotten about them she quickly hid herself in the nearest alley backing into the shadows and holding her breath. The patrol stopped outside the alley, oh no they’ve seen me she thought in horror, but instead of turning toward her they turned collectively to the other side and paused.
Now she heard it, someone was digging in a dumpster in the alley across from her, a familiar scene played out as the robots offered a small warning before opening fire. She took the opportunity the noise presented and ran down the alley full tilt until she came to a high fence, she scrambled over it as quickly as she could and continued running, she ran until she couldn’t hear the shots anymore. She leaned against the nearest wall hands on her knees trying to catch her breath, she took in her surroundings and was struck by a sudden sinking feeling in her stomach, oh no! She was lost.
She took a deep breath, what am I gonna do, I’m lost Mikey is off getting himself killed and there are patrols of killer robots, ah hell I’m doomed. And then she heard it the unmistakable sounds of fighting , the battle couldn’t have been that far off the shouts didn’t echo enough. Yes! She thought if there is a fight there has to be a least one rebel, I can explain what happened and they’ll take me back to the compound. With her own thoughts repeating in her head she ran off in the direction of the fight.
She ran a few blocks and turned the corner, the sight before her stopped her dead in her tracks. Bodies lined the streets there were robots and ninja and rebels screaming and shooting, she hadn’t just found A fight she had found THE fight. Her eyes scanned the area for Mikey, she couldn’t see him, damn it where was he?! She began to creep forward when a familiar feeling washed over her, she was dissolving!
This time it was more intense she could feel both worlds as she started to pass between them she could hear Leo shouting something and then she could see Mikey, not her Mikey but future Mikey she was running toward her calling her name asking her not to leave, she tried to call back to him but found she had no voice in this place. He was running for her his focus clouded, she saw the robot behind him she called to him trying to warn him but he didn’t seem to hear her, and then he fell “NOOOO” She screamed her voice returning to her, the future was slipping away, he was on the ground he wasn’t moving and then with a surprising force she felt herself yanked away.
She was standing in the middle of a large stone stadium, the seats were empty. Where the hell was she now she wondered looking up into a purple sky? And then her mind snapped back to her last moments in the future. “Mikey” She whispered. He’d been shot and she’d gone before she knew if he was alright or not , she started to fret before a loud voice pulled her from her concerns.
“Jules” She whipped around caught off guard by the sudden noise, and there he was running toward her with a goofy smile on his face and both arms attached; Mikey! “Mikey” She called back all her fears forgotten as she ran towards him jumping into his out stretched arms. He pulled her into a tight hug “We thought we’d lost you for a minute there” She just laughed it was all she really could do she was just so relieved “What happened?” She asked as he set her down “And where the hell are we?” He chuckled a little wrapping a arm around her and walking back the way he’d come “Boy do I have a story for you”.
