The Omega Timeline Chapter 24 Part Two: Talk, Work and Theories

“Erica, are you okay? Can you see my hand, how many-” “Andrew, I’m fine. But I really need to talk to you alone, Right Now.” Erica said cutting Andrew off. Andrew looked at Ruby and then looked at the others. The others looked concerned about what was happening. He looked back at the Ruby and smiled.

“Ruby, you could go help the others look for possible components and any resources you need to make any of the ones your making. And just tell the others if they ask that Erica was just overworking. We’ll call you back over when Erica’s feeling better.” Andrew said, “I’m fine Andrew-” “You’re not fine Erica, you need to sit down until I think you’re okay.” Andrew said and he turned back to Ruby.

“Just let us talk for a moment about this and we’ll call you back.” Andrew said kindly and Ruby nodded, she looked a bit overwhelmed about what happened and without saying a word walked over to the others.

“Now what was so important about talking to me alone. And stay seated please.” Andrew said,

“Because I know something, about this place. It’s not what I thought it was.” Erica said,

“And why couldn’t you just tell me this before with Ruby here?” Andrew asked,

“Because I am not sure about this, but I think we aren’t in our universe. None of us our in our universes.” Erica said.

“What do you mean our universes?” Andrew asked,

“You had to do some sort of physics for engineering, you do the math. If things don’t line up, like talking animals that shouldn’t be talking. Shapeshifting humans, and humans with unnatural powers that are given by their implants. What would that be? We are all from different universes, we’re apart of a multiverse.” Erica exclaimed. Andrew stood up and turned away for a moment and looked at the others. At first, Andrew was about to say she was crazy. Then he realized how crazy he would’ve sounded trying to deny it since they had literally been talking to animals and the animals talked back.

“But what about the other’s? Aragorn and his family? They seem to be normal.” Andrew said as he turned back to Erica,

“They seem normal from a glance, but did you see what they were wearing around their necks?”

“Medallions? What so important about that?” Andrew said.

“Medallions with implants as the main jewel. They have to be from a different universe, or maybe from one of our futures.” Erica said, Andrew nodded. Her theory was making more and more sense when you added all the pieces together.

‘This makes it all the more important that we should work togeth-’ “We can’t trust them Andrew, we can’t stay with any of them. When the time is right, me, you, Sylas and Freya need to run for it and not tell anyone what we plan.” Erica said, scrambling Andrew’s thoughts.

“What? Erica, No.” Andrew said in shock to what he just heard,

“What do you mean no, we can’t trust them. We-” “Erica. No. if what your saying is true. We aren’t here by chance, the same is with everyone else here. Now if that’s the case, we need to work together to find out why we are here. We need to learn to trust each other and not tear each other apart.” Andrew said, “Now we can’t keep this a secret from everyone else. So when we all meet back up, we’ll tell everyone what we might’ve found out. But we’ll keep it secret for the meantime.” He continued. Erica shook her head in irritation. Andrew looked at her, she was one of the most stubborn people he ever knew.

“Why will you keep it a secret for now? Why not tell the others with us what we think is going on?” Erica asked annoyed,

“Because I don’t want panic and distrust from our group or Samuel’s. If panic hits us now, I don’t want to know what could happen. So it’s just going to stay with you and me until we meet with the others.” Andrew stated.

“You don’t even want to tell Sylas and Freya? Why?” Erica asked,

“Because Sylas will die to panic and Freya will try to kill the dragons barehanded thinking their demons to cause the end or what not and I’m afraid for their lives.” Andrew said.

“Your afraid for Sylas and Freya if she decides to attack the dragons?”

“No, I’m afraid for the lives of the dragons. They’d never expect her to be so tough nor would they expect her to be so good at killing. She could probably kill them all if she was angry enough.” Andrew said, Erica laughed for a minute. Then she looked at Samuel and the others with him.

“So, do you trust them?” Erica asked,

“I don’t trust them yet nor do I distrust them. I don’t know what to think of everyone who we’ve met here. But I want to protect everyone we met, and this information can be dangerous if we don’t tell everyone at the same time. It can hurt those that I do trust like you, Sylas and Freya or those I haven’t yet begun to trust.” Andrew said, Erica nodded to it. But she looked away and stayed silent. She then got up and looked at Andrew.

“If it’s alright with you Andrew. Can we get back to work now?” Erica asked,

“You look better, I don’t see any harm in that. I’ll call Ruby back and we’ll finish up.” Andrew said. Erica walked back to where she was working before.

Andrew watched her for a moment. For all the pain she is to him, he liked her the most out of the people he trusted here. She reminded him of her from long ago. A face he wish he could remember, but a voice he can never forget.

‘I miss you Andy…’

“I miss you Rue.” Andrew said quietly to himself, tears beginning to roll down his cheeks. He collapsed into the chair, trying to remember what she looked like. But he couldn’t, he couldn’t remember what his best friend looked like. “I wish… I wish I told you that you were like a sister to me. I regret not telling you, I regretted it the day I came out of the pod. Forgive me Rue.” He said with a frail voice to himself. He slowly stood back up. Trying to hold back his emotions just for a while more.

“Ruby, can you come help Erica and me finish up with the jet. She’s feeling much better!!” Andrew yelled, he watched her head turn to him and then run over to where Erica was at to help. And Andrew walked slowly over to where he was working. He walked passed Ruby and Erica, she gave him a silly look and smiled.

“What took you long slow poke?” Erica said, Andrew chuckled at this.

“Very funny. Come on, let’s finish this so you two can go investigate that obelisk.” Andrew said smiling, and they all nodded and began working on the jet again.
