Part II
Marcus was a little quiet and was thinking a lot when he knocked on Kyle's front door. He'd never met Kyle's older brother and things might change for the worst if he wasn't careful.
Derek heard a knock at his door, and wondered who it was. He answered it, his eyes narrowed when he saw who it was. “You here for Kyle?” He asked.
“Oddly enough, no. It's a long story. I've never met you before but Kyle has told me about you. Perhaps it's better if I explain things with Kyle around." Marcus explained.
“Kyle has told me about you. More than enough.” Derek replied with a scowl. He despised metal. “But you are wanting to meet me?” He asked curiously.
"Yes, that's what I came here for." Marcus frowned, he had to do this for the sake of the Connor family trusting him.
“Why me? Because of Kyle?” He finally moved and motioned for Marcus to come in. But he still had his gun concealed in its holster.
Marcus was cautious "No, someone else. He knew mentioning Sarah's name in front of Derek would potentially rip him from Kyle and perhaps the Connor family." The cyborg was ready and on edge. "I'm doing this for the sake of making this up to the Connor family." Marcus was cautious on his words as he looked for Kyle lightly, hopefully this wouldn't ruin all his friendships. “I could tell you how I saved John Connor's life in my timeline multiple times but I'd doubt you believe me now."
Derek groaned and rolled his eyes. “I heard of it happening. But they were referred to as the donor. I had no idea it was you. So...what you came here to brag that you saved my nephew or something? Trying to get on my good side? What's the purpose of your visit?" Derek asked suspiciously.
"I'm saying I starting dating Sarah. I want your support. " Marcus replied.
Derek was quiet for a moment. “Which Sarah? We have one living with us.” He smirked, having a hunch about who it was.
Marcus looked up "The oldest one."
Derek laughed softly. “Sarah Connor wouldn’t date metal. But what do I know anymore?”
Marcus shrugged "Anything goes these days. Since peace happened, things have changed."
Marcus frowned "I'm a human as much as the next guy."
“Except that you have metal in you. Nothing good ever came from metal.” Derek replied in an acid tone. “I’m not sure what you want me to say?”
Marcus frowned "I know. I'm a cyborg. But I can't do much about that. The catch here is that there's more in common than you think."
Derek moved over to the couch, and motioned for Marcus to sit. “I’m sure Sarah has told you all about me. The catch here is, this Sarah hasn’t met me before. We’re from different timelines.” He explained.
Marcus nodded "I figured. There's been a lot of others from other timelines around here. And yes, the older Sarah has done so. It's very complicated to be honest. Every timeline something is different. What's happened in your timeline that changed your views on a lot of things? Her timeline there's another named Grace, she's a bit different like me.
“I also did a lot in the past of my timeline to change the future. Yeah I heard about Grace.” Derek explained. “She still has metal. So what do you think we have in common?”
Marcus sat up "Seems like us entering the scene changed things, I'm not sure for the worst or better. I heard you helped in the Resistance years ago, I'm not sure how I fit into the Resistance, but in my timeline, John transferred his essence into a T-800 to help fight off Skynet and Parnell. But on the other edge of it, I led the Resistance temporarily until John was able to use his new machine body right."
Derek shook his head. “None of that ever happened in my timeline. But I was given a mission to go back to 2007. It could have happened after I left. Once you leave you can’t go back.” Derek explained.
Marcus sighed "I heard about the time machine, how people get time displaced and can never return. I've never time traveled myself. I just found myself alive in 2018 and now here I am."
“Yeah so....you probably know that a lot of my family is a result of time travel. I don’t think that I exist in every timeline either. But in my timeline John was my CO and never told me that he was my nephew.” He explained.
Marcus nodded "It's crazy how much time travel can confuse people, but maybe he didn't tell you because of so many timeline changes."
“Or He never told me because it had to do with a mission. Missions were kept top secret. See all I knew is that my brother disappeared and they wouldn’t tell me why. Later after I went back and met John and Sarah, that’s when I began to piece the story together on my own.” He said. Derek repeated. “Sarah Connor wouldn’t date metal. But what do I know anymore?”
