Ch. 2
After exiting the time portal Vlad took a good look around. If this was indeed the time stream it didn't look much different from certain parts of the ghost zone. Doors and portals floated in greenish mists as far as he could see. Vlad tightened his grip on the device Clockwork had given him. Might as well test this thing, he thought and approached the closest door.
He hesitated for a moment before he firmly gripped the door knob. The door opened without a sound. Inside was a perfectly ordinary empty class room complete with chairs, desks and a blackboard covered with complicated mathematical formulas and diagrams. But there was something familiar about the formulas, particularly the way the letters were written in a bold, angular script ...Vlad was startled to recognize his own handwriting. He approached the blackboard to study the formulas.
These seemed to be the calculations he'd worked on just before the terrible accident which had been caused by Jack's inability to master basic math concepts. Jack always had a cavalier attitude where precision was required, and his disdain for proper safety procedures finally set off a chain reaction which culminated in Vlad's unwilling exposure to a full blast of spectral energy.
So this was the past, or at least one aspect of his past, Vlad mused. But in this reality the accident hadn't yet taken place, the room showed no sign of the violent energy discharge which had blackened the walls and overturned the furniture. The sound of approaching footsteps in the hallway startled Vlad and he went into invisible ghost mode. The door flung open and big stupid Jack ambled in, his beefy arms filled with odd bits and pieces of scientific equipment Vlad knew only too well.
Right on Jack's heels followed sweet, beautiful Maddie. She was equally laden down with parts and blue prints. Vlad's eyes fastened on her lovely face. This Maddie was 20 years younger than the woman he knew and loved in his own reality, but she was just as vivacious and desirable as he remembered her.
A third figure entered the room and Vlad knew who it was even before he looked. Dark haired and gangly, his razor thin younger self was still untouched by the ominous power of the ghost zone. The younger Vlad placed his load of parts and tools onto the teacher's desk and smiled at his friends who joined him to assemble the flawed portal that would soon destroy his chance at a normal life.
A strong feeling of foreboding filled Vlad's heart, and he had to suppress the urge to shout a warning at his unsuspecting alter ego. The three occupants of the room were chatting amiably, clearly unaware of his presence, although he'd shifted back to his tangible ghost form. He floated down to the ground and leaned against a desk. It was so strange to watch these three go through motions he remembered so vividly. It's like watching the most realistic movie ever made, he thought. "Hey!" he shouted, but no one reacted to his voice. Then he remembered the device.
Vlad pressed the left button and the three young people suddenly began to move in reverse, as if the videotape they were appearing on had been switched to rewind. They disassembled the prototype, carried out the parts and the door slammed shut behind them. Vlad sighed and released the button. The action began anew when Jack, Maddie and young Vlad once again entered the room and set about putting the ghost portal together. A quick push on the right button had them moving at triple speed and soon the hellish contraption was finished and ready to undo his chance at happiness.
Vlad released the button when his younger self approached the portal. He knew only too well what happened next and had no desire to witness his own mutilation. The halfa went intangible and left the scene through the same time portal which he had used to enter the room.
Once again he was faced with the infinite number of doors which hid infinite realities within. For a moment he was overwhelmed by the Herculean task of searching the time stream. It would take him forever to find the one reality to suit his purpose, if such a reality even existed ...too bad Clockwork wasn't around to ask ...Vlad's eyes narrowed. Maybe the time guardian was observing him right now in this moment of weakness. Was this Clockwork's way to test Vlad's determination?
It might be easier to return to his own reality and try to win Maddie the conventional way, Vlad mused. But he'd tried that and failed rather embarrassingly. He could throw caution to the wind and have Jack killed in a staged accident. Bereaved Maddie would probably even turn to her old friend Vlad for consolation, and from comfort would spring love ... But there arose a new problem in the form of Maddie's extraordinary son, the only other halfa in the world.
Young Daniel had crossed swords with Vlad at various times, and the boy was keenly aware of Vlad's interest in his mother. He'd be quick to suspect foul play and Vlad thought it entirely possible that Daniel wouldn't rest until Vlad's true self and culpability were revealed to Maddie.
Could she love the ghost hybrid who'd murdered her husband? Better not risk it, Vlad thought. He'd keep the death option on the table for the time being, just in case the time manipulation plan failed. And just in case Clockwork was keeping tabs on him Vlad decided to give him something worth looking at. He'd try every single portal so the time guardian would understand what true determination was. After all, Vlad was nothing if not persistent and a future with Maddie was worth any effort.
Let's try this again, Vlad thought as he approached another portal. He'd keep searching until he found a reality where he and Maddie were together, and take it from there.
"What is he doing now?" the chorus asked. "He's considering his options and experimenting with the time device", Clockwork answered. "Then there's still a chance to stop Plasmius before he damages the correct sequence of events!", the plaintive voices admonished. "It's far too early to step in", the guardian replied. "After all, he hasn't really inserted himself into a new reality yet. I'm curious to see what he will do next."
