Re: Gale Richards
1. He spent some time in the mid-22nd century with Billy and Luka, and really liked it then. It felt pretty safe.
2. He says he would, hypothetically, but I think if it came down to it, he wouldn't. I don't think he likes what his powers do, but it's all he really knows. He doesn't fit in with normal people on a normal timeline, and while he doesn't like the wild uncertainty of uncontrollable disappearances, he doesn't know any other way to live. Now that he has some amount of control over his abilities, he'd be less likely to give them up. Because he doesn't feel connected to any one time or place, the idea of losing his powers and settling in is foreign and strange - what if he picks the wrong time? what if there's more out there? how boring to live in the same tiny window of time for your whole life.
