Time's Up, Kids
Who: Skylar, Kronos, Bella, and Brandie (Open to anyone wanting to post their goodbye scenes as well. Leave them in comments.)
Where: Outside Avarice
When: May, 2019
Skylar walked up to Avarice with her two daughters, Bella and Brandie. Bella herself knew exactly what was going on, as much as she HATED it, but she was trying her damnest to accept it. Brandie, on the other hand, seemed to still be in the dark about most of this. She really didn't even understand why she was bringing her suitcase that her father had packed for her *here* of all places. She had never even BEEN to Avarice before.
Hooded and looking almost comically nervous, Kronos shimmered into view behind Skylar then, clearing his throat. "Is your daughter ready? This has to be quick and clean, or I could be causing myself a LOT of trouble."
"Yes, she's ready," Skylar said. Brandie looked up at Skylar. "Ready for what?" she asked. Poor thing. Skylar leaned down a little. "Honey, I just want you to remember one thing. Your father and I love you very much, and we're doing this for your own good." Brandie's eyes went wide.
Kronos, meanwhile, was busy looking from side to side as the portal opened beside them. His eyes were wide, as he was both worried that he'd be caught, AND trying not to listen to the conversation, as this was too close to the bone for him to want to deal with.
"But mom...what's going on?" Brandie asked. Skylar just took a deep breath and straightened up. "You're going to walk in behind him. Just do as I say, OK?" Tears already streaming down her face, Brandie nodded.
"If she's going, she has to go NOW." Kronos cut in, almost hissing in his anxiety. "I'm serious... a few more seconds and I'm gone. For good."
"She's ready," Skylar said, looking over to him. "Go ahead. She'll be right behind you."
Stupid, stupid man, Kronos was. He trusted her. "The portal will close exactly five seconds after I walk through it. I hope your goodbyes are said." And with that, he turned around, stepping through the portal.
All but shoving Brandie through the portal after him, as soon as he was through, Skylar turned behind herself and screamed, "RUN!" A group of kids came out of hiding and did just that, taking off through the portal with Bella as well. As soon as they were through, the portal closed, and Skylar felt the earth jerk underneath her harder than any earthquake she had been through here in LA. Seems that the end had truly begun.
Oh yes. Bella, Blake, Bastian, Beatrice, and Brenna (damn those Bales and their 'B' names) had allll been prepared by their parents, and went charging through. Yeah. Kronos? Was gonna be PISSED. That action caused a ripple effect, one that actually, for a few moments, twisted the very threads of the timestream before throwing them all out in the exact same spot, only in the time they were headed for.
Skylar herself, having done all she could, ran through the still lurching parking lot of Avarice and headed to her car, praying that she made it back home in time to see Ben one last time. She wasn't thinking of things like the timestream, anymore.
