*IN S.T.A.R Labs*
"So are you saying that it actually happened? I mean like it was not a dream or something ?",asked Oliver lightly
Sam sighed and said,"Oliver! I have repeated the incident thrice , does it still sound like a dream to you?"
"No, I mean, what if you were actually imagining those things?", asked Oliver.
Sam sighed again but did not reply.
Diana looked at Sam as though she understood his situation, she just kept nodding and giving him a knowing stare.
"Oliver, look, after you heard that time travel and making people go wild and crazy with just an injection, do you think that anything else is impossible? Huh?",asked Diana
"Wait, what did you just say about making people go wild with an injection?",asked Oliver while S
Sam turned around, and found a boy staring at him.He had deep blue eyes, black hair and medium skin colour. He looked very good indeed.Sam saw it was him. He was staring at himself. But much younger. Much innocent."Am I dead?",asked SamThe younger Sam replied,"You gotta stop asking that question mate""Why do you have my face?",asked SamThe younger Sam replied simply,"Because I am you""But....Last time it was my mother",Sam asked confusedly."You are the one who decides who you want to talk to",said the younger Sam."Hey, but I didn't choose to come here! I remember fainting and then I am here talking to myself",said Sam frustrated.
Everything dissolved and then Sam found himself in a hospital. He looked around and found that it was the same hospital in which his mother had passed away."No!",he shouted,"I CANT RELIVE THAT! TAKE ME BACK!"No one listened. The younger Sam didnot appear.Sam found a younger version of himself, pacing up and down the corridor. The doctors came out and told the young Sam that he could go in. And, they said something to him which made tears well up to his eyes.The younger Sam went inside and Sam followed.A lady, with tired eyes was resting on the bed, breathing deeply."Mom?",said the younger memory version of Sam."John...how are you?",asked the woman"Mom!",he shrieked,"It's you who is in bed! Stop caring so much about me mom!""But you will alwa
"So you didn't tell us?!", shouted Bolan at Sam,"You kept this a secret from all of us......all these times...... I thought you would start trusting us ! After we trusted you with our secret! BUT YOU! YOU WERE LYING TO US FROM THE VERY BEGINNING!"Sam helplessly looked back and forth from Bolan to William, but William kept his calm.... Oliver looked like he wanted to say something but something was holding him back."How are you any better than Ronald???!!", shrieked Bolan, "I don't believe it! How could I have ever trusted you?!""Mr. Smith, it wasn't like that! I didn't want to betray you!",said Sam helplessly ,"I just thought there was no need to tell you all, if it had been a trust issue, I would not have come here with you""Oh yes! You did come here with me, not because you trusted me but because you needed help from!"
Oliver and Sam stood there for a couple of minutes staring at each other, the gates behind them closed, making the lab invisible once again."You actually thought that I would let you go out there all alone?",asked Oliver, standing outside the 'now invisible' lab."But who told you ? Who told you that I was leaving?",asked Sam"No one had to......The moment I left, I couldn't forget the look in your eyes. I just somehow knew that you were gonna leave. I know that feeling buddy! I knew I could not stop you so I decided that if I couldn't stop you then I would join you. So , where are we headed?",asked Oliver."No",said Sam , in disbelief,"I can't ask you to do this!""You are not asking me to do this! I am doing this , its my choice to help you!",exclaimed Oliver,"And you were right.....""Right about what?",asked Sam"In that note from your future-self.....you wrote there, don't ever tru
Oliver and Sam were on the way to New York in Oliver's car."So, tell me more about you",said Oliver, keeping his eyes on the road."I have told you everything....I guess",said Sam confusedly."Sam do I need to remind you that you have been lying to us....... So what I mean is that , tell me all about you...and the truth this time.",said OliverSam looked embarrassed but he said," Okay, my name is John Michaelson, my father's name is Leonardo Michaelson and mother, Lily Andrew Michaelson. My father....he grew up in an orphanage...I don't know anything about my grandparents, but he told me that they were good people. I was 13 year old when my father decided to leave us and go to New York City to stop Ronald from the vaccine he was making and he never came back, my mother....she had a problem in the heart. But, she loved my father very much.
"Sam wake up!",shouted Oliver drowsilySam opened his eyes and shouted,"What?! ""We are here! New York!",said Oliver,he tried to sound happy but he really looked tired .Sam had fallen asleep in the backseat with Oliver's jacket over him. He woke up startled when Oliver shouted."We are in New York City, tell me the directions to your house.",said Oliver smilingSam looked around and said,"Okay just keep going straight, you will find a big shop, Wally's shop, reach there and wake me up again."Saying this ,Sam went back to sleep again.Oliver sighed again, and in around five to six minutes, he found himself beside the shop, Wally's shop."Sam, wake up! This is the shop you were talking about?",shrieked Oliver, intently to wake him up.Sam woke up again, looked around and said,"Oh yes! Now just take a left and go straight, you will see a
"Are you certain that you want to go to the lab without backup?",asked Oliver"Yes",replied Sam,"You just tell me if you will be fine in this house all by yourself?""Oh yeah! I am cool! You have got a nice apartment here!",said Oliver,"But I am going to be quite disturbed....having nothing to do while you are gone, I mean, in S.T.A.R Labs , we used to work all the time. It is gonna be quite foreign for me,.....not working. "Sam looked at Oliver and said,"Look buddy , you still have time! You can go back to your former life. You don't need to do this! You still have time, you can- you can just go back and - and have it all! You won't achieve anything here..... Its just gonna be pain and loss. I don't know why you even want to be a part of this Oliver........if I had a chance , I would just go back and take the chance,.....I would just go back where I belong and never
Ronald was sitting in his office when Sam entered, Ronald turned around , faced him with a smile and said," Ah! Sam! Here you are! Now , while you were gone, something happened,......I and my team, we were able to prepare the vaccine...the vaccine of destruction, as you must be very well aware, you were very supportive of my idea, so I thought I should inform you, that is acquiesce Serum.....it did a great work actually. I tried it on the .....ah, volunteers, turned out well, just as I wanted, it could be used as a very great weapon! It is just what we could ask for. I have named those men...They are called Nocuous Men."Sam forced a weak smile on his face and said, " That's - that's actually really great"Ronald seemed to study Sam for a moment. He then nodded and said, "Yes, it is! And Sam, if you need anything....just- just tell me okay? And, you are ...umm...welcome to go and visit the doctors, in the
"Are you alright John?",asked Lily"Ofcourse I am mum!",said Sam smiling. It was weird, being called by his old name,but he could get used to that."Your father is having breakfast downstairs, do you wish to have some?",asked Lily"Wait....father?",asked Sam."Yes""Yeah yeah sure, I would love breakfast",said Sam and went downstairs.He saw his father sitting a chair in the dining room and eating buttered toast. He looked much younger and happier."Dad?",said Sam and hugged LeoLeo looked questionably at Lily but she shrugged at him."He
Sam pinched himself.... He just saw Ronald fire himself with the gun infront of him.He was shocked, he never knew that Ronald's death could ever affect him, but Ronald was his only hope he had.....Ronald's wallet had fallen and he picked it up, a peper was inside with a date written on it, 7th November 1990. Sam didnot know what it meant, but without Ronald, he had no one he knew. All the people he ever knew, loved, hated were lying dead infront of him and he couldn't do a single thing to save them. He was helpless, completely helpless. He wanted to kill himself too but he knew he wouldn't be able to pull the trigger. He had nowhere to go at all. Suddenly the feeling of complete hopelessness gripped him. He was going crazy thinking that if he walked into to New York city then he might be able to to attract the attention of the Nocuous Men and they might help him kill himself brutally. But he was too scared.
Sam looked around.Oliver, Marie, Leo....all of them were dead. He felt this emptiness in his chest that nothing could fill.He picked up the device that Oliver had given him and went ahead with no destination in mind.He saw a woman approaching him. He stopped. It became clearer and he saw it was Diana.She was dressed in a completely different manner. She came and knelt infront of Bolan and checked his pulse."He is alive",she said."Don't worry I will kill him"She did not stop to talk to Sam. She went on and knelt infront of Oliver's body."He is at peace now",she said, touching his cheeks."He was my best friend""Did you even care about him?!",shouted Sam"Watch your time",said Diana app
Bolan shot Leo in the chest.Leo fell, his back touching the ground before his hands could. One hand on the wound in his chest.He gasped for breath.Leo heard Sam screaming like a maniac. He heard Marie and Oliver shouting and saw Sam and Oliver coming to his aid. He felt Sam put Leo's head on his thigh. He felt Oliver covering up the wound with his hands but he knew that his time had come."PLEASE! DAD! DONT LEAVE ME!", shouted Sam, crying."I-I love you Sam",said Leo, smiling, blood pouring out his mouth. " Isn't it ironic Sam? Ever since your mother died ...I always had this hole in my heart and right now....Aah...I have- I have an actual hole in my chest"Sam said,"Please...sshhhhh, just -just keep quiet, we are gonna get you out of here dad! Please just hold on!".
Oliver drove like a maniac while Sam shouted out words of confidence. It was actually very difficult for Oliver to drive in a situation like that.Blood everywhere, Oliver felt dizzy and wanted to puke but he knew better and kept driving at a speed of 190 to 200 kilometres per hour.Now, the six of them were convinced that the two creatures following them were the Nocuous Men. Marie kept whispering something in Spanish. The guards wasted quite a lot of bullets shooting at the Nocuous Men. While Leo and Sam held each other's hand and prayed.The Nocuous Men seemed to be getting closer to them. Their speed increased as each second passed.Suddenly something struck in Sam's mind."OLIVER! STOP THE CAR!,shouted Sam."SAM I UNDERSTAND YOU ARE PANICKING ,
"Is that SeRiOuSly your great plan?",asked one of the guards"Ummmm...yeah, is something wrong with it?",asked Oliver, clicking his pen"Come on sir! There is everything wrong with it!",said the other guardOliver tried not to look offended."Okay then",he said. "You guys have a better plan? I am really open to suggestions!"Sam put his on Oliver's shoulder and said,"Hey listen Oliver, what he means to say is that if we proceed with this plan,then the chances of success is not very high, we might get caught and killed for that matter""Weren't you the one who wanted to get out of here so badly Sam?!",asked Oliver looking at SamMarie held Oliver's hand and said,"Alrig
The unleashing of the Nocuous Men had unleashed terror on the city. The part where thought that no one would be infected, worked. The bites and scratches of the Nocuous Men were not working on the people but , that didn't stop the Nocuous Men from being tearing the humans down. Sam desparately wished he had a plan B. The city was almost dead. A handful of lucky people were alive as far as the heat signatures showed that Oliver was able to find by hacking into the illegal satellites."I should have known it wouldn't work",shouted Sam"Sam calm down! We are going to get out of here",said Oliver."How Oliver?",asked Sam."The whole city is dead. All the people on the streets are dead! It- It was a nightmare! It can't be true! They are in this building! Just outside that door! We have lost so many guards trying to protect us! I-I can't d
There was a mess in the hall and Oliver couldn't breathe. He was having an asthma attack and he'd never had one in his life. Sam was shouting something but he couldn't hear him. Everything was blurry, the only sound he could hear was a buzzing sound."Stop this please",Oliver was shouting even though he couldn't even hear himself."MAKE IT STOP PLEASE!"The last thing he saw before passing out was Sam, Leo, Marie and a few guards shouting something. Sam had his hand on Oliver's chest."PLEASE MAKE THIS ST-STOPP!"********************When Oliver woke up, he immediately regretted it. His head felt like it was going to explode and his chest was paining."Wh-what happened?",asked Oliver looking at Sam who was standing beside the bed."You...y
It was night and Oliver was staring at the ceiling, lying on the bed, thinking his whole life was a lie. Like....it was literally a lie. He just couldn't remember any life other than the one he knew he had lived.Sam told Oliver everything about his past and Oliver didn't know how to react. A small part of him wanted to thank Ronald for saving him from dying of poverty and another small part wanted to throttle Ronald for wrenching him apart from his family and a big part of him wanted to find out his real parents.Oliver smiled, he remembered Sam had told him his real name was Benjamin Bruce.It sounded stupid to Oliver. He went towards the mirror and looked at himself and said,"I am Benjamin Bruce"Oliver smiled, it really did sound like a stupid name. But then,his parents had named him that, it felt like it was something precious to him.
