Plans within

Before the end of July David received a call, unlike the one he expected, it was the Mayor, "Hello Mr. Bater, it is a pleasure to finally speak to you. I was hoping we might be able to have to talk at your convenience?"

Although David knew the answer, he asked, "Ah well Mr. Mayor, where would you and your wife be now then. I assume you are alone?"

After a moment of silence, the Mayor responded, we are at my home, although I am unsure how much longer … "the Mayor heard a click then a voice spoke in the room.

"No need to be concerned about time. Hello Mrs. Hylan, I do hope you are well."

The woman sitting in a single chair nodded to David, smiling nervously.

The Mayor seemed ready to jump out of his chair but stopped himself and seemed to adjust amazingly fast.

"So, Mr. Mayor, how can I be of assistance to you? Have you maybe thought ahead and decided you will be needing the assistance of my labs soon? Or maybe something as mundane as having issues wrapping your mind around things before your eyes?" Warping reality David found no recording devices but decided it was best to leave them within this reality just to be safe. He had already sent mental restriction to the Mayoress before, he added them to the Mayor now.

"Hm, is that your reason for having my wife tell me? To make me use your lab through the city?"

David smiles and shook his head, "No, that part was advised, you can ask your wife how much my advice is worth. If anything, I would like you to add to the Mayor's diary what limited knowledge you have about the Evolved, with your wife being one, I expect it to be in a positive light."

The Mayor seemed to think for a while, then glanced at his wife, "Why would it be anything other than a positive light? What are you preparing for?"

"Fear, fear of the unknown. Let me make this clear, and much more personal. It is not uncommon for people to have the potential to Evolve. It is much more common if one of the parents is already Evolved."

The Mayor's eyes locked onto his wife suddenly, she raised her hands and hastened to reassure him, "No Dear, not that I know of, well, not yet." She blushed slightly as she spoke.

"I did mean to cause confusion. Regardless of the previous advice, I gave your wife, on your current path it is highly likely if not a given certainty."

"Is this the same kind of Fate you helped Mrs. Mitchel with?" asked Mr. Hylan.

"The exact same, well Mayor, regardless of your choices, they are yours alone. Just keep in mind, what our boys bring home might not be just victory. Be well" with that David returned home.

Thinking that had gone rather well David felt very chuffed with himself until he got a message from GCA.

'We have received reports of Aliens attacking London, it seems a group of humans was trying to battle them secretly, but it got out of control.'

'WHAT? Is it the Levar, have they arrived early?'

'No sir, descriptions do not seem to match. In fact, they match a comic group of Aliens, the Entari, they fought a group of men who secretly defended the Earth from Aliens. They were called "Men on the Wall" and saw themselves as humanity's only line of defense.'

'Well this raises a few concerns, this was not in the timeline Strange gave me, but it is part of another Earth's history. Do I need to help them, and what else am I missing? Start reviewing all agency information for any mention of what they called Mystery men from now on.'

'Yes David, but it was not the agency report, but the radio I listened into. I am currently, between both selves, monitoring all War radio transmissions. If you allowed me two more avatars, I could monitor all transmissions.'

'Do it, created two more with the same parameters as your second one. This fight is happening now, should I help, or send help, hmm'

'David, I have found only one reason to not provide aid yet. Maureen Raven, she is a Clairsentient (Able to telepathically enter and control the minds of others.) and the Aliens will use her as a beacon to arrive here. In the "history" she works for MI13 and her lover, Peter Wisdom a very nasty man, kills her to close the portal. This happens a lot later in that "history". Also, her orphaned son later develops some limited abilities.'

'Very well, monitor her bloodline, and Wisdom's also any agencies they will be connected too.'

'Yes David'
