Don't we all.

I've got one already but Reed could do more with it and he give sthe whole 'It's too dangerous' stuff.

The travel itself or what could happen because of it?

What could happen.

Take for example one minute I'm walking down the street and my daughter comes to find me from the future.

That could be very jarring.

But also imagine be able to stop something that never should have happened, save someone that never should have died, and end a war that is still going on.

Not that she knows about any of this personally or anything.

See now that's something I want to do but all I get is warnings about how time shouldn't be messed with. It's like dropping a mint into the dark ages could change the fabic of time and all that doom.

I don't think so. I think there's a lot of things that happen for no reason and if someone has the means to change them, then they should.

I want to test that theory.

Really? Cause I could think of an event or two. For a minute she wonders if she should really be doing this, but then...why not.

What would you change?

There was a murder a few years ago. Selina Kyle.

I'd stop it.

Do you think there's a way I could talk to my dad and convince him not to fuck up the operation on my mom?

Possibly. You could pose as another doctor...give a second opinion or recommendation.

My dad was the only person who could save her. He was this top brain surgeon or something but sometimes I think if I give him more encouragement he might have saved her.

Nods Do you blame him? Not all the time...but when you're upset?

I sometimes blame my dad for my mother's death.

I wanted to blame my dad. I wanted to hate him but he saved Susan's life once, then they put him back in Jail.

What happened with you?

The person who killed my mother did it to get to my father.

You get your revenge?

Not yet. But I will.

Time machines are stupid.

Time travel is stupid.

You sound just like Reed.

*fights the urge to say 'duh'*

The movies make it sound cooler. It's just stupid when you got to do it.

What if someone had something important to do. Maybe save a life and they needed time travel to do it. It stupid then?

Time travel doesn't work that way. It's not a line, it's a bunch of lines. If you go back and save someone you make a new line. It doesn't change your line at all. It just makes a new possibility, a new universe.

Time travel is stupid, I mean it.

*frowns*

Do I know you?

Maybe. I know a you, but I haven't seen him in a long long time.

You could ask my grandpa about time travel, if you want. He's almost as smart as Reed and does it lots. It's still stupid, though.

A better time machine? You already possess one? If I were you I would consider myself a pretty lucky bastard.

Well it's not mine but it doesn't stop me using it. It belongs to Reed.

Right, well, in that case you've inspired me to make a new goal for myself. Find more friends with time machines.

Or maybe come and see me more?

*smirks*

See I don't know if that would really work. According to your godson we only annoy each other. Where's the fun in that?

Get to know one another well enough to talk?

What is it you want to talk about, Johnny? Global warming, world peace, politics? Take your pick. You know you really do confuse the hell out of me sometimes. I think we're friends one minute and the next we supposedly annoy one another. Which is it?

I'd like to think we were friends.

[Slowly] You'd like to think we were. . .alright. So what about now? I obviously did something awful to jeopardize whatever the hell kind of friendship we had.

What I said to Charlie wasn't meant like that. I mean we like to annoy one another in the fun joking way but I didn't mean that we don't get along. I'd like to think we got along really well.

The little guy just doesn't understand different types of annoyance yet. To him it's a form of being cruel. So when he tells me that you were upset but you couldn't talk to me about it and that we annoy each other it's just what I assumed. Just forget it, I over think this shit anyway.

Well no I won't forget it because you're a close friend of mine and I care about you.

It's really not a big deal Johnny. You don't have to pull out all of this caring bullshit. I'm a big girl, I think I can admit to being a moron and misunderstanding something when I need to.

First of all you are not a moron and second of all Charlie said you were sad and I'm here like it or not, I do care about you and a lot more then most people so you're stuck with me.

*smirks*

Well I'm immune to sadness so I have no idea what he was talking about. A lot more than most people, huh? Well considering most of the people I hang around couldn't possibly care less that might actually be true. [Laughs] So I believe you. . .but just this once.

Good! *puts his arm around her*

And no one is immue to sadness so stop hiding it. You feel like your down and I take you out, no if's no buts!

*smiles*

Oh, but see, I was bit by a radioactive spider when I was four. Made me completely immune to sadness. Kryptonite seems to be a bitch on my emotions though. Hey, what about you? According to the kid you are the sad one. Maybe I should be taking you out. As far as where I have no idea. . .but there's a 7-11 down the street from my apartment. They have some pretty kick ass beverages.

Then next time you are down we're gonna go there and I'm gonna pay.

*looks serious*

My friend Peter was bit by a spider.

No way you're paying! That would automatically make me your bitch. There is a whole section on it in the 'paying for friends' handbook. It'll be my treat. Oh, and you're still avoiding the question about your saddened state the other night, bud. I don't let up that easily.

Last name wouldn't happen to be Parker, would it?

You know him?!
