One day within 1989, 43 infants are unexpectedly born. Strangely, none of the woman who had given birth to the infants had shown any sign or pregnancy the day or morning before hand. Billionaire Reginald Hargreeves shortly after adopts 8 infants aft...

We walk in through the door, quickly greeted by music. No singing. I peep around till i notice a familiar old man. "Well, there I am." five says as he sighs. Right aside from the old man, was the briefcase we needed, right under his seat. "Why don't we just grab the briefcase and run?" i scoff, "Luther, I would never let that happen. We're trained to guard these briefcases with our lives." Five exclaims, giving him a look before glancing back over at his past self. "Right." "Plus, it's the inherent paradox where this gets tricky. I'm endangering my existence just being in the room with myself." I nod in agreement, looking at my past self. Her hair was (grey, or pretend you dyed it to keep it in style😇.) of course. "Huh- what do you mean?" I sigh, "Luther, try to keep up."
"In his defense, he's never been involved in this." "If old me and y/n don't travel back to 2019 likes were supposed to, the whole thing unravels itself. We cease to exist, you got me?" he looked a bit taken a back but agreed. "I get you." "So, our best chance is to talk with them, to reason with them. they'll understand. Trust me. I know myself better than, uh.. better than i know myself." his hand made its way to his neck and he itches it slightly.
"You just itched your neck." he pointed a finger at Five, "That's stage two of paradox psychosis." i chuckle slightly, "No, i didn't. I didn't itch my neck." "Yes you did, Five! You're facing stage one and two of paradox psychosis! Denial and Itching." i shook my head as i cackled. "I am fine, okay!" his volume was higher, "Let's stay on task, shall we?" "Yeah, let's stay on task, Five." i smiled in cockiness, but my arm had a sudden tingle feeling. I quickly reach over and scratch at it, dropping my arms back to my sides.
"You just itched your arm, y/n." Five gave me a stare, "Nope, you're seeing things. Might wanna get that checked out buddy." i gave him a fake smile, he scoffed and began his way, but Luther grabbed a hold of him, pulling him back. "Wait!" "What?" "Maybe I should go first." I raise a brow, "Why?" "Well, you'll freak them out. Bumping into your own tiny doppelgängers? They'll lose their shit. Just.. let me break the ice." he looked back over but nodded, "Okay." Five took in a deep breath as Luther made his way forward.
"Let's hope he doesn't totally bust this." "He better not. This is our only way back." he paced around a bit but finally stood still next to the wall, watching over Luther. Luther finally stepped back, revealing me and Five. The two elders had wide eyes and looked beyond shocked. "Hey there, stranger." Five said, staring up at himself. I remained silent, i don't know what to say. Kind of lost for words when it comes to meeting your past self. "So, how about we all take a seat and discuss this." They all look at me, but agree.
Now we're all sitting at a table. A waiter quickly made her way over with a notebook, "Hey! What would you like to drink to start off your stay?" she had a wide smile, "I'd like (y/f/d), please." She nodded, writing down on her notebook. "Y/f/d. You four?" "I'll just take a pint of Guinness. Thank you." "Same here." "I'll take one too." she nods, writing down again. "Okay, it'll be out shortly." I rest my head upon my hand. It wasn't much longer till she had our drinks, and sat them out on the table. "We'll start off with Appetizer's. Anything you'd like to start your meal off?" "We're fine. We just came here for a drink." she nods, "Alright then! If you change your mind or need anything just signal for me!" i nod.
She quickly makes her way over to another table. I could see my younger self staring at me, I ignored her glare and lifted my cup to my lips, drinking. Luther sighed, placing his drink back down upon the table. "Well.. this is nice, isn't it? The five of us, together like this." We all chimed in, "No." Five and his older self were glaring at each-other, i felt another tingle in my neck and i quickly reach up, itching it lightly. "Somebody explain to me how it is i'm having a pint of Guinness with my younger self." Five corrects him, "Older, actually. I'm you, just 14 days older." Then, there's me. Who's 11 years older than my younger self. Really, i should be in charge since i'm the oldest technically, right? "I have pubic hair smarter than you." i scrunch my nose up,
"How does that make sense?" I ask, "I know right?" I smirk, looking at my younger self. "I like you." five chimes in. "I can explain. You see, one hour from now, on the grassy knoll, before the president is killed, you break your contract with the commission. I already know you're thinking about it. All those years in the apocalypse, we never stopped worrying about our family." Luther was glancing between the two, but stopped at Five. "Well, today, you are going to do something about it. Today, you two are gong to attempt to time travel forward to 2019. However, you are going to screw up the jump and end up in this twip of a body. Trapped forever, small, pubescent." "Okay." I heard younger five fart, but ignored it. (Younger five is the old man btw.) "Even if I was to believe you, what are we supposed to do about it, not jump?"
"No, we need to jump. If you don't jump, we cease to exist." i add in, gaining a glance from younger Five. "What we need from you is to jump correctly." "I'm listening." " The first time through, I got the calculation wrong. That's how i ended up in this body. But now, I know the correct calculation." he seemed a bit interested, "What is it?" "I'll be glad to tell you.. in exchange for that briefcase you're holding under the table." Luther began to talk, "Yeah, yeah, so you go back to 2019, as planned, but this time with the right math, so you remain a full grown man. In exchange, we get that briefcase that you no longer need."
"Timeline restored, paradox resolved. Everyone goes on existing happily ever after." he stayed silent for a moment, "That's quite a lot to take in." i look over at my younger self as she spoke, "What do y'all think?" he nodded slightly, "I think.." i looked, hoping for a good answer. "I need to piss."
