One had to wonder if all futures turned out this way. Most of earth had been over taken by a monster named Apocalypse, the strong inslaved, bred like dogs, the weak cast aside to die. There was no pity, no love, no kindness found. Apocalypse's hand covered the earth, leaving shadows on everyone's heart. Except for two people who had ben on the run for many years, always managing to hid from Apocalypse's hands and his horsemen.
A man who was shorter then most, some would have called him mad by his experiments on time travel. The woman, young still in her teens, her black hair was drapped down her back, two locks of braids framed her face, her burgandy eyes were always curious and filled with a slight humor. She had never known her parents, instead all she could remember was always walking beside the mad short man who she affectionately called Uncle when he wouldn't give her his name.
From when she was very young she knew that she was a mutant, she had to learn control over her powers to cover up her and Uncle's tracks as they were hunted down again and again my the Horsemen, out of the four she hated Death and War the most who often chased them from their home, killing everyone in their paths. More then once she had to fight off War and Death as she ran her back to them, but their cold honey/green eyes always bore into her back as she ran. Rumours were they were twins but she had never seen thier faces, their helmets made sure of that just as she made sure to cover her face with one arm when they found her time and time again. But things would be different, Uncle was putting the final touches on a machine that could allow a person to go back in time. The only problem was it could only take one person and one alone and that left going back into the past up to her.
"You sure this is what they wore?" Tessa asked looking at the shorts, tank top, and sweatshirt tied around her waist, 'I mean with all this lose clothing they could easily get caught on something and get me killed."
"Yes, I'm not that old and I can recall the fashions of those days," Uncle growled, Tessa sighed and blew a piece of hair out of her eyes.
"So basically I'm going back into the past, stopping my mother from betraying my father, which led to his complete insanity, which led to my mother's death, which lead to Apocalypse coming to power, sounds easy enough for a seventeen year old to do."
"You know most people think silence is golden."
"Only truely boring people say that," Tessa replied with a cheeky grin.
"Almost done," Uncle said wiping the sweat from his brow, "Are you ready for this?"
"Of course, born ready, well sort of you know, least with my brothers giving me their powers before they, you know, were taken by Apocalypse I'll be prepared," Tessa said hoping off of the table and heading for the machine that had begun whirling before it opened up a portal.
"Here take this watch, it will bring you back once you're done, not a moment before not a moment after. It also helps you from growing old while you're in the past," Uncle said strapping on a watch to Tessa's wrist.
"Right, save the future, use the watch, come home to fields of green stuff and evil overlord dead, got it," Tessa said giving Uncle a lazy salute. That is until the door exploded inward, throwing the two of them across the room. Tessa hit the opposite wall hard, the breath knocked out of her lungs.
"Well, well seems like we've found you again our black haired sparrow," a pair of identical voices spoke as Tessa got to her feet and ran over to Uncle. Her hands shook, suddenly afraid until the old man opened his eyes.
"Get to the portal, it's out only hope now," he hissed feebily. Tessa nodded and stumbled to her feet, running towards the portal, that is until she was cut down by being slammed into a force field of some kind. Tessa desperately felt around for a way around the thick wall.
"Finally got you, you little bitch, you thought you were safe after you slipped past us last time, didn't you," the Horseman of War growled grabbing onto Tessa's leeg and dragged her backwards. On reaction, Tessa flipped around onto her back and slammed her heel into War face, she heard an interesting cracking noise that she supposed was his nose before he let her go. Gazing up at the War whose eyes were closed as he clutched his face. Insterestingly enough his helmet had been knocked off his head. Her eyes were met with a ginger headed man, his hair slicked back because of the helmet.
"You bitch, you broke my nose!" War screamed opening his eyes and stopping for a moment, staring at Tessa. She hadn't noticed but since she had flipped around to finally face the two that Death had also been staring at her, too shocked to move.
Tessa took her chance and got to her feet, without a gance at the two horsemen she threw herself into the machine, turning as she jumped, only to see the two horsemen running after her. She frowned as she flew backwards,their eyes, they were mad or filled with revenge, in fact they looked panic, sad, and helpless at the sametime. Tessa half wanted to reach forward touch thier faces and comfort them. But then she remember all the people they killed and her face grew serious.
"Tessa, no!" Death cried out reaching towards Tessa his fingers outstreatched. She reached her own hand out, her eyes looking puzzled as she looked into both of their honey/green eyes. How did they know her name, why were they reaching for her. Just barely their fingers touched before Tessa was sucked into the portal and diappeared. Putting her thought aside she turned and began flying through time, to the past.
Uncle giggled from his corner, holding his bloody side, 'Nothing more you can do now, she's going to go undo all you've done."
"You idiot!" Death screamed ripping off his helmet to reveal that him and War were identical twins.
'You've sent her to her death," War screamed.
"all we've become is because we lost her in the past, you've set everything into motion and ensured everything will come to be!" Death screamed picking up Uncle and shaking him.
"You've killed us all old man!"
"Oh my god," Uncle managed to wheeze before he went limp and died.
