![]() “Why would I? I achieved the impossible! Why does it matter who had to die along the way?” “And if you did know, you wouldn’t care.” “You don’t even know what you did,” Miguel whispered. What was the point of bullying someone who could end your life without batting an eye? Miles wanted to tell the old man to shut up. “And you will die alone in a time you don’t belong in!” “You and I are going to stay here, Miguel,” he said. Instead, he just started walking back towards Miles. Miles tensed, expecting 2099 to start his attack again, but he didn’t. Miguel shook his head and turned his back to Sloan. ![]() His voice was raspy after the strangulation. “You think… I’d help you… after that?” he gasped. Sloan stood slowly, rubbing his throat where Miguel had strangled him. Miguel was trapped here and the only man who could fix the time portal probably wasn’t interested in helping. It hurt to even think about not being able to get home. No matter what was going on with him, he knew he could get back to the life he had left behind. Miles couldn’t help but feel bad for him. Now that he had made the choice not to kill Sloan, he sounded deflated and tired. “We need to fix the time portal,” he said. For a few minutes, the only sound in the room was his gasping breath as he tried to get oxygen back into his body. The old man slid down the cracked glass, coughing and gasping for air. Miguel released a long breath before dropping Sloan. But…”We aren’t judge, jury, and executioner,” he reasoned, holding up his hands. Some people could be rehabilitated, but this… this crime was greater than any crime he had ever dealt with probably bigger than any crime any of them had dealt with. Did that mean he deserved to die? He hated to admit it, but it probably did mean that. “This is a man who has destroyed the past, present and future!” The dissonance between the violent action and the placid speech was unsettling. ![]() He was strangling a man, but his voice was extremely calm. Hs voice was calmer than Miles had been expecting. “This isn’t just a normal criminal,” Miguel said. He had signed up to stop Sloan, not kill him.
