::it's been a couple years now since the incident at the mansion. But since then everything seemed to be at peace. So after a few days of wondering what to do, he decided to go back to his usual routine before any of this ever happened. He smiled at his accomplishments, for in the past few months he had stopped bank robberies, saved people from fires, stopped gangs and even managed to put a mob boss in jail somehow. But today it was just his day to run, and it felt good to be able to just stretch his legs::
Man, feels good to just be out running without any problems

Secret had known where to find Ian. She waited at the same park, on the same bench, as the first time she had met Ian. She knew he would run past here, and that he'd been having some questions over her sending him to the X-men. He probably wouldn't pass up the chance to question her. And he had a few things to tell him, things he hadn't exactly caught on to in their first meeting, or learned during his time with the X-men.

::a few more laps around the city and he decided to go through the park that he had done many times over. He remembered the time he saved the family from a gang of thugs, but that memory moved to that of Secret. He hadn't seen her or heard from her since he had brought rose to the mansion. To be honest, he was thankful. Ever since he met the members of the Chronos followers, his days at the mansion were crazy. He was thankful to be out, thankful to be on the run, and thankful to be away from the followers and....uh oh. He stopped dead in his tracks when he saw her sitting at the bench::

Secret hadn't moved when Ian came through the park, just seemed to be thinking, gazing off into space for the moment. In reality she was really just watching things through Ian's point of view. When she spotted herself in his eyes though, a smile faintly etched across her lips as she returned to her own gaze and her her normal eye glance at him. She raised an eyebrow, a message silently placed in the gesture, asking if he would come and speak with her.

::he looked down, cursing himself on the inside. He knew that whatever she wanted would throw his good day for a major loop like it did last time. He looked back up at her, trying to stay as calm and casual as usual. He walked up to her and leaned against the tree, looking up at the sky as if not really surprised she was there::
Nice day huh?

Secret continued to smile at his response to seeing her. She found it highly amusing after all. She leaned against the back of the bench, crossing her legs and folding her hands in her lap.
"Yes it is. Though you don't seem to happy to see me. Don't you remember me saying I would check up on you at our last meeting?"

::he glanced at her this time. Wondering what she expected him to say. He saves a girl from being crushed by her own sister, brings her to the mansion where the Chronos Followers are more known there than anywhere else, and almost gets mixed up in the biggest time travel of his life. He sighed as he looked back up to the sky::
Yeah, guess I forgot

Secret laughed lightly at his response. She had been keeping an eye on Ian since their first meeting, being a third party witness to everything that had happened to him, and she was very impressed by his progress, though he probably didn't see it just yet.
"You seem very lost. Haven't you been paying any attention to what has happened to you since we last spoke...?"

::he looked down, the events that had happened between now and then playing back in his mind like someone had pressed rewind on a vcr and then hit play. He could still remember the look on everyone's face when one of the Chronos Followers exploded, leaving a crater where she once was, only to find out she had traveled through time::
How could I not? I still don't understand what this has to do with me though

Secret let out a frustrated sigh, shaking her head.
"You don't find any coincidence in all of it? How I just happened you have you save the only Nighshade in their right mind. How you met Hannah, Yen, and Keeper? What about the girl from the future? Do you remember her response to seeing you?"
Secret smiled, hoping the last one would really just hit home with him, it being the most recent. She knew any person would be shocked and curious if someone from the future had heard of them.

::he smirked, giving a small inward laugh as he did. Yeah meeting all of them had really sent him for a loop, and meeting Rose was pretty interesting to. But when she menioned the girl from the future looking to him like he was some sort of celebrity, he couldn't help but feel more than a little curious::
So she really is from the future. What is she doing here? And why am I the kind of person she would find interesting?

Secret smiled, Ian had finally caught on.
"Last time we met, I told you everything happens for a reason. The future as it is right now is very dark..."
She paused for a moment, almost hesitating.
"In the future, I sent her back to try to help stop that future. It is not supposed to happen. Please.... close your eyes and I will show you what the future holds..."

::he looked at her oddly. The future being dark? Did this have anything to do with MRF? Personally he didn't know what a facility full of scientists could do, but when she asked him to close his eyes, he couldn't help but feel a little hesitant. But the tone in her voice told him that it would be worth taking a chance. Sighing, he close his eyes::
Ok, let's see what the big fuss is about

Secret let out a slow, deep breath, slowly merging her's and Ian's sight together temporarily.
"Take deep breaths.... It will be much easier on you if you do."
Ian would feel like he was on laughing gas, where everything felt light and weightless. Finally, when the process was complete, her power reached out to the future, bringing it to her gaze. The place was unrecognizable. The Streets empty, cluttered with trash... and dead bodies. The buildings were begining to crumble.
"This is New York... No one leaves their homes anymore... Look."
She turned the focus point to some windows, where a small face was visible. It was obviously a child, but they were extremely dirty, their hair which was probably blonde, dulled to an almost brown. A woman's arm appeared and pulled the child away from the window, closing the curtains quickly. Secret once again changed the focus when a car siren could be heard. The cars in this time were much more advanced.
"Let's go meet the MRF of the future, shall we?"
The focus seemed to step forward, like it was an actual body, and went right into the car. It was more like a cargo truck then anything, only meant for human cargo. In the back was a small line of people, all ashen faced, dark eyed, and probably starving. Most had their hands chained behind their backs, though one or two were restrained in a way that would keep them there with their powers. These were obviously mutants. Especially because one of them looked very much like a part lizard, tail and all.
"Do you still think the MRF can do little with just some scientists...? They are much more then that, they are creating an army of their own mutants, very powerful mutants in fact... Let us leave now."
Then, just as suddenly as it appeared, the world faded away, her and Ian's gaze's seperating and returning to their proper place. Once the process finished, Secret just gazed at Ian, waiting for his response.

::he felt a little dizzy and tried to control his breathing as he was instructed. He looked around and saw the buildings, the dirtied and dead bodies. He then saw himself inside the truck with a group of other people. He looked around worriedly, then looked back to Secret as they returned to the present::
I...I don't undnerstand. How did they get to be like this? Where are the X-Men...where am I?
