Alex in Wonderland - Part 31

Jessica glanced at the pack of agents on The Looking Glass end of the hall, one started to move in her direction. She torqued Krystle’s wrist slightly causing her to scream out again.

“Back off dweeb, or your girl here gets it! Now someone tell me what the hell is going on, no BS this time… understood?”

White Rabbit closed the gold watch causing Jessica’s stare to shoot in his direction.

“Allow me,” he said, running a hand through his silver-white hair.

“It’s like this, there was an incident with a scientist working on President Regan’s Star Wars project. As the result of a chemical spill and a solar flare, the restrooms in the Casa Grande became a time portal, linking multiple future times with 1984. That’s how you got here. My agency is tasked with watching over this portal to apprehend any travelers before they cause… trouble.”

“Paradox,” Alex said, “You’re talking about a paradox!”

“Exactly.”

“So what did you plan to do with us?” Becky whimpered.

“Wipe your memories and send you back.”
