Description
(The near future)
The old man, now with only an eye-patch and a few gray hairs, walks into a construction site.
"How's the work going?"
One of the workers look at him, "It'll be ready in a year Mr. Lopez. You can enjoy the care home later."
"Ha ha."
Mr. Lopez walks away, "Did you hear about the war on Prometheus? It's been going for years."
"Yeah, there seems to be a strange rebellion there. Did you hear? A Promethean man and a human girl joined together to help stop the-what's it now? Oh, the Regime thing."
Mr. Lopez stopped walking.
"Really now?"
"I give it a year before one of them dies."
"So when the care home is finally here, one of them would die?"
"Twenty bucks."
"You're on."
One of the bigger workers walked up to them, "Get back to work Jones. And you old man, get out of here."
Mr. Lopez starts to walk away again, "I'm gonna get that twenty bucks Jones."
"I highly doubt that.

(Back to the present on Prometheus)
Anna was angrily confused at Lawrence.
"So I'm supposed to believe you're a time traveler?"
"I believe you lived eighteen years in a space ship with an AI that makes you breakfast everyday."
Anna felt angrier, "Twenty-six years of my life! And that AI was one of the best AIs ever made!"
"Woah now, no getting angry now. You age faster in space, you look twenty-six but your attitude and personality is of an eighteen year-old."
"The year is 1E-26. I was born when the human race left Earth!"
"The year IS 1E-26, but you probably were in a cryo chamber when you were on the ship."
"NO, NO! I am TWENTY-SIX!"
Anna threw a punch, Lawrence caught it.
"You sound like a teenager trying to buy beer from a convenient store."
"I'm not a KID!"
Bob tried to break the tension, "Um, It's O.K. guys. We're all friends here."
Toni was waking up from his sleep and saw that he was tied up to the ship. He started to struggle, but to no success.
"DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!!! I WILL GET OUT OF THIS!!! I WILL KILL YOU ALL, I WILL RIP YOUR BODIES TO PIECES AND THEN BREAK THOSE PIECES INTO EVEN SMALLER PIECES!!!!"
The three looked at Toni shouting insults. Anna looked at Toni and giggled.
"WHATS SO FUNNY?!?"
Lawrence walked up to Toni and punched him in the face, "Stay quiet."
Anna looked at Lawrence, "He's like a little boy that just lost his first fight."
"He did."
Anna stopped smiling, "What?"
Bob also looked at Lawrence, "Really?"
"Yes, he lost his first fight to me. Then to Anna, and then to me again."
Anna was really confused, "How did he win his other fights?"
"Murder."
Bob walked up to Toni and pointed at him, "You mean he killed people if he didn't win a fight?"
"That's what the fights are usually meant for."
"What now?"
"He's a serial killer, a master assassin. He killed targets one way or another. His last target was Briggs, a former officer. I protected Briggs."
"What's so special about Briggs that you'd come back in time to stop."
"Briggs isn't special, it's Toni I needed. Toni never makes a big deal about an assassination until he found Briggs. Toni made his most spectacular kill on Briggs, he even used explosions for it. The only time where I could take him down."
"So what's special about Toni?"
"He kills the most important pers-"
Lawrence stopped talking, his mind went somewhere else. Anna and Bob saw his eyes glow a blue light. Lawrence's arms created lightining tattoos, and then it started glowing. In Lawrences mind, he saw a girl running in the desert.
"Wait up!"
Anna and Bob were confused. Lawrence start to run after the girl.
"Lawrence wake up!"
Lawrence kept running into the desert, but the girl seemed to be farther.
"Lawrence, WAKE UP!"
Anna tries to pull Lawrence back, but she couldn't budge him.
"LAWRENCE!"
Lawrence's eyes and tattoos became blood-red and looked at Anna. Anna stepped back.
"It's cool bro."
Lawrence turned blue again and ran after the girl that wasn't there, "CLAIRE!"
Anna ran in front of Lawrence, "ClAIRE, or whatever, ISN"T THERE LAWRENCE! WAKE UP!"
Anna was pushing Lawrence, but he didn't even move back. Anna's legs went so fast the Bob's eyes couldn't even see them clearly. Anna's legs even broke the sound barrier, but Lawrence just kept running forward.
"How is this possible?!?"
Lawrence saw that Claire is getting farther, "CLAIRE!!!"
Anna's face was covered in sweat, "LAWRENCE WAKE UP!!!"
Lawrence's blue eyes started the fade, and Anna just fell to the ground. Lawrence was back to normal.
"Claire..."
"Cliaire isn't... real... Lawrence..."
Anna was soaked in sweat and passed out.
"Come on, you need to get out of the sun."
Lawrence picked up Anna, "It'll be ok."
Lawrence looked back and saw Claire.
Claire looked at him, "Aren't you coming?"
"Not this time Claire."
Claire walked away, then she was fading into ashes. The wind came and Claire vanished. Lawrence was walking to Bob, who was also sweaty.
"Anna couldn't even stop you..."
"Don't tell me I have to carry you too."
"Don't worry, I'm still fine."
"Let's go."
Lawrence looked at Anna, for a second he saw Claire's bloody face. Lawrence blinked a few times and Anna's face went back to normal.
"Something wrong?"
Lawrence didn't look at Bob, "I'm fine."
They walked into the crash site, and saw that Toni escaped.
"That son of a-"
Bob looked at where his cycle used to be, "MY CYCLE!"
Lawrence looked at Anna, who was still unconscious. Then he looked to the horizon, and saw Toni riding into the sunset.
