Dan was sick of taking the same stupid train to the same stupid hospital but he knew he needed to confront the creepy man as soon as he could. Martyn stayed at the apartment to watch Max to let Dan deal with the slowly rising problem. Sure enough, the problematic man was standing outside Phil's hospital room again, peering in the window as Phil slept.

"Hey." Dan called angrily. The man turned with a sly smile, his hands linked together behind his back like usual. "Did you poison my kid?" Dan asked right away.

"Poison? No." The man snorted.

"And Phil! Why were you messing with the tubes? He needed those to improve and you come and screw around with everything! He could have been better if you didn't come in and screw everything up!"

"Now wait a minute."

"No I won't 'wait a minute'! You're hurting my family! You're screwing up my husband and poisoning my son and now what? You'll kill my daughter before shes even born and slit my throat?!"

"I didn't hurt anyone."

"Stay out of my life! Stay away from us! We didn't do anything! I don't even know you!" Dan gave him a shove.

"You shouldn't lay a hand on me, Daniel."

Dan instantly snatched his hand back.

"How the hell do you know my name?"

"I've known you for a while."

"What the fuck."

"Don't freak out because I'm not trying to hurt anyone."

"Bullshit. Keep your creepy nose out of my life, out of Phil's life, out of my FAMILY'S life."

"Daniel...Dan, come on. Your Phil won't be gone for long. Don't go far because he'll be back in no time."

The man left Dan speechless as he walked out of his grip and headed for the sliding doors of the hospital.

Phil woke up still tired. The beeping of the heart monitor was driving him insane. He let his gaze drift out the window and saw his parents talking just outside the room. He remembered them but they looked much older than what he remembered. Phil felt like crap too because he couldn't remember anyone else. He didn't even know he was gay and all of the sudden he had a husband and a kid!

His mind was back to 1995. He wondered if there were any flying cars outside since 2016 seemed so futuristic to him and all the comic books said there would be.

Phil felt alone and a little sick. The doctors had changed his medicine and the new type made him feel really nauseous and tired all the time. He wondered how he got into the hospital in the first place; did he do something cool like saving a lady from a shark attack or save an old lady from getting hit by a car? Either way he regretted what he did because he felt gross.

Phil's eyes landed on the lion toy across the room on the small table under the tv. 'It must have been the kid's'. He thought to himself although some part of it appeared familiar. Phil slowly pushed off the sheets and got to his feet. He knew he wasn't allowed to but he was just sick and tired and laying there like a lump for so long. The tubes and wires didn't allow him to go far but he made it far enough to pick up the toy lion that was sat on the table across from the bed. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.
