Matt's smile faded as the boy mentioned that he could feel Matt's emotions in his sleep. That Matt was having nightmares about his grandfather. Matt just looked at Alex, his eyes narrowing a little. "That's none of your business." Matt simply said, looking at Alex, his face softening into a weak smile. "Sorry... Just don't like bringing up the past when it's not needed..." Matt said, not wanting to relive that moment again. It was something he didn't like. So when Alex thanked him for wanting to help and that maybe his faith in the human race would be resolved, Matt just replied with a grunt.
When Alex asked about how the government was blackmailing Matt, Matt just nodded at the boy. "Well basically, since your friends at the Carnival decided to reveal us to the world, the government is cracking down on specials with 'dangerous' powers." Matt said, emphasizing dangerous with quotations using his fingers. "They found me and decided that since I could mimic powers, I'd be valuable, as I could be a one person army. So basically it was help them or be arrested and locked up for life." he said, looking to the window, seeing the sun had risen, before looking back to Alex. "They use me to track down and bring in people with high-level powers. So someone like you for an example, or someone like Samuel Sullivan." Matt said, looking at Alex.
"Don't worry... Technically you don't exist yet, so I'm not gonna be forced to bring you in." Matt said with a smile. When the kid offered to travel back in time to stop the government from finding Matt, he was tempted to accept. But he knew better than to play with time like that. Even Alex was risking something big by being back here. "No... I prefer to keep my life as it is. I'm not a fan of messing with time. I was just kidding around about the whole reset thing..." He said to him, smiling.
So when Alex replied to Matt's question, saying that they needed to go to the future, and steal a book that had all of history recorded in it to be able to change the past. He also mentioned a team. "That doesn't sound too hard... Just teleport in, take it and teleport out. Simple." Matt said as the boy then asked what powers Matt had mimicked. "Oh sure... I can regenerate, I have super speed, and I have telepathy. The government doesn't like me having too many powers." Matt said with a smile.
"What about you... Apart from time travelling, teleporting, red electricity, reading my emotions and being a pain in my ass?" Matt said with a chuckle.

Alex noticed that Matt didn't want to talk to him about his grandfather. He told him it was none of his business and Alex knew that he struck a nerve. Alex simply nodded without saying anything about it again. He wouldn't push the subject. Alex figured that Matt would tell Alex when hes good and ready to on his own. "Sorry." He said under his breath because he truly knew that he shouldn't have said anything about it. Matt Begin explaining how the government was blackmailing him. He explained that since his friends at the carnival reveled them to the world the government cracked down on dangerous specials. Alex had only met Lydia so he was unsure if he was really to invested in the carnival idea, although he would have liked to be. He continued to say that the government offered him a choice to join them or be arrested for life. "They cant arrest you just for having a powerful ability if you didn't use it to do anything bad with it can they?" Alex asked.
Matt's next words sort of scared Alex. He told him that he was used to track down people with high level powers like Alex for example. Alex pointed at himself with wide eyes. "Me?" He asked stupidly. No the other Alex in the room with powers. Alex was kinda stupid when things made sense because he was nevus Matt was going to turn him in. However Matt told him that he wasn't going to turn him in because he didn't exist yet. Alex let out a sigh of relief. "Thats good to know. Are you... Like being watched?" The boy had to ask Matt. He knew that working for the government he must have to be monitored somehow. They like to keep track of all there employees sort of speak. Lydia spoke of Samuele also but Alex had never seen him in person. He seemed like an evil man. "So you only catch the bad guys right?" Alex asked hopping that he left the good guys alone.
After Alex offered to go back in time to reset Matt's past but Matt refused. Alex nodded as he told him that he didn't like messing with the past and preferred it this way. Alex thought that he was going to help him in that sense but he would just have to think of another way to repay Matt for helping him. "I can understand that. My master once told me that we learn and grow from are past experiences." He told Matt, "But if you don't want to change your past then how do you want me to help you?" Alex asked Matt. He really wanted to help him with anything and would be willing to help him with anything Matt wanted him to. Alex really liked Matt for some reason. Sure he was cold at times but he had a right to be. The poor guy was being treated like a weapon for some government he didn't even care about. He was getting walked on and used even though he had all this power he probably felt powerless to do anything for his situation.
Alex told Matt about going in and taking the book of history. Yet he made it sound more simple then it actually would be. And Matt made it sound like a walk in the park. But growing up in that time Alex knew that this was no easy task. "Its harder then it sounds. The book is kept in a highly guarded room. In the future everyone has a power and there all trained how to use them to the fullest of there potential. Were going to be going into an army of super powered cold blooded killers with powerful abilities. They out number us and the elders have powers so strong that we wouldn't be able to defeat them so easily. Some say that by looking into one of there eyes you become mentally insane and start to peel your own flesh until you bleed to death." Alex informed Matt just to give him a heads up not to take these future solders to lightly.
Matt then listed his abilities for Alex. He told him he could regenerate. This made Alex feel more at ease because he didn't want Matt to die while trying to get the book. Next super speed, a power that could be very useful. The last power telepathy Alex didn't expect. (So he could hear my thoughts this whole time?) Alex thought to himself as his eyes grew wide. Overall Alex liked Matt's abilities and thought that they would make a good combination with Alex's powers. Speaking of which Matt asked him about them.
"Well I can effect time in different ways not only traveling threw time and teliporting but speeding up time or slowing it down for one thing at a time aging something or reversing the effects of time to de-age it. I can read peoples emotions and also change them. The red electricity can also be used to supercharge other specials powers." Alex commented and laughed at Matt's comment to be a pain in his ass. "I recently absorbed the power to see what people want based on there emotions but I have to paint or draw it unlike Lydia who can just tell from skin contact. And then the ability I'm most trained in is the power to create and control metals." Alex informed Matt as he put his hand on the table and slowly raised it. As he did so a reveled a golden mini statue of Matt. The resemblance was spot on. Alex pushed it over to Matt as a gift. "For you as a thank you for helping me." He offered to him with a smile.

"Oh yeah, they can. Because in their eyes, I'm a potential danger. And in a way I was... I couldn't control my mimicry. But now I can... and it's just stupid. And no, I'm not being watched. It'd be stupid for them to do that, since I have telepathy." Matt replied to Alex's questions about why he was being blackmailed. It was a stupid reason, but the government was more powerful than before. Especially with specials on board now. It was sort like the future Alex described in a way. But when Alex asked how Matt wanted him to help him, Matt just shook his head. "I'm not after your help, Alex. Remember, you came to me. So I'm helping you." He said with a smile.
Matt just nodded as Alex explained the situation of the whole future thing, how people there were trained to use their powers to their full potentials, such as being able to make one kill themselves as an act of insanity. Matt just smiled. "I always did like a challenge..." Matt said to Alex. "And besides, all I have to do is touch them and we got an even-leveled playing field." Matt said, flexing his fingers. It was times like this, having the ability to mimic powers was something useful.
When Matt described his powers, he saw Alex's reaction to Matt having telepathy. "Don't worry. I haven't read too much of your mind. Just your surface memories. Such as you live at the Carnival and you like that painted lady." Matt said with a smile. So when Alex explained his powers, Matt just nodded, mentally noting each of them. When Alex created the little gold Matt, Matt just smiled as he accepted the gift. "Thank you. This is going somewhere special..." He said, walking over to his trophy case, where his rugby trophies from high school were and placed the gold statue next to them. He then turned back to Alex.
"So... Anything else you wanna tell me?" Matt asked him, wondering if the boy had more to say.

The man replied to Alex's questions very well. Matt told Alex that he was not being watched and that before he didn't have control of his abilities but now he does. But after Alex had asked if Matt wanted him to help him with anything Matt replied that he wasn't after his help and just wanted to help Alex. Even so Alex wanted to repay the man for helping him. He had let him stay in his home, been generally nice to him. Alex just simply nodded his head. "OK." he said in a low defeated tone. He was still thinking of a way to help him. He still wanted to do something nice for the guy.
After Alex had mentioned the whole future situation to him Matt told him that he liked a challenge. Alex smirked thinking that Matt seemed to act like a worrier fearless and strong. "There are also people who can fight long distances to so simply touching them might not be so easy sometimes." Alex warned Matt. He started to think a little bit about them just going into the battle together. He didn't know how Matt fought and vice versa. "I think that we should have a little sparing match to see are fighting styles. That way we can work together better and fight as a team when we go to the future." Alex suggested to Matt. Matt seemed like the type who was always ready for a sparing match but this coming from a little kid Alex wondered if his appearance and age would prevent him from taking him seriously.
Alex was a little uneasy that Matt could read minds. However Matt told him that he had only read surface memories. It wasn't like Alex had anything to hide and for the most part he speaked his mind but Alex tends to have his mind wonder and he felt like Matt might look at him differently when Alex started to get into his little zoned out state. "Thats good to hear." He told Matt. This was around the time Alex created the little gold statue. Matt accepted the gift and said thanks. Alex was happy he liked it. "You welcome!" He shouted excited that the two seemed to becoming friends now. He had a bog smile on his face that quickly went into a more confused look as he tried to answer Matt's question if there was anything else. "Nope." he simply told him after thinking about it for a while. "do you have anything you want to tell me?" he returned the question.

When Alex began speaking about how there were people out there that could attack you from a distance so there was a chance Matt couldn't mimic their powers, Matt just smiled brightly. "As I said before..." He began, his eyes showing excitement, "I enjoy a challenge..." He said as Alex then said they should have a sparring match to see how the other fought.
"Not in my damn house. The government paid for this place and I'll kill you myself if you fuck up my couch." Matt said, pointing to the leather couch Alex had slept on the other night. "That's Italian leather. So you wanna fight, we do it outside." Matt said, looking at Alex with a smile. He hoped he would take it as a joke, but then again, with the ability of empathy, it was possible that he knew.
After replying to Matt that he had nothing else to ask, he asked if Matt wanted to share something with him. Matt nodded. "Yeah... You don't mind me killing do you? Cause that's gonna make this a helluva lot more harder." He said as he looked at Alex. "Also... If we change your future... Won't that kind of... erase you from history? Since those events led to your birth... If you wipe them... You won't exist." Matt said to him. He wondered if that's how time really worked, but he wasn't out to try it anytime soon.

After Alex had warned him that the people in the future had powers to attack from a distance Matt replied that he loved a challenge. Alex smiled but in the depth of his thoughts he wondered if this man was going to get himself killed. If he would go head first into a battle because he felt like he was indestructible. Alex wouldn't want that to happen because Matt would become a great asset to the team. Alex nodded to the man. "OK if you enjoy a challenge then your going to get one." He told him in a friendly tone."
The idea to have a sparing match was brought up. Matt screamed that it wouldn't be in his house and joked that he would kill him if he fucked up the couch. Alex started laughing. "Don't worry anything that we damage I can fix good as new." Alex told the worry wort over there. Things were going to get damaged as two powerful specials went head to head even if it was just a sparing match. Alex wanted to show him and example. "Watch," He said as he created a small knife in his hands. He then walked over to the couch and stabbed it ripping a small hole. As he sucked the knife back into his body he looked at Matt to see his face expression. Alex placed his hands on the couch and when he took them away the couch was good as new. "See Anything broken can be fixed." He reassured Matt with a big smile.
Matt wanted to fight outside though and the clean up would be easier out there anyway so Alex agreed as he Begin to walk into the back yard. Alex asked Matt if he has anything to add. He joked around a bit more asking if he didn't mind if Matt killed Alex. Alex of course laughed and then gave him a wink. "You can try but I'm stronger then I look." He told him. Then Matt brought up a very serous question. If they changed the future what would happen to Alex? He wouldn't exist if he changed the events leading up to his birth. Alex was shocked he didn't know what to say. A single tear drop fell from his eye as he thought more about it. "I will sacrifice my life to save everyone else. I would rather not exist if it means turning the world into a better place." Alex told Matt rubbing his eyes. "Lets start sparring." He suggested changing the subject as he didn't want to think about that. It left him feeling hurt in the pit of his stomach.

Matt's eyes widened with horror as Alex stabbed his couch, making a giant hole in the middle of it. He looked at him, narrowing his eyes to slits as he death-stared the kid. "You sonva bit..." He began as he watched Alex fix his couch. That sort of made Matt feel better... but still, that SoB stabbed his couch! His Italian leather couch! "You are extremely lucky you didn't damage that couch permenantly..." He said with a poisonous voice as he began to walk to the backyard.
After Matt's question about the future, Alex replied that he would give his life in order to save his time. Matt just looked at him as he wiped the tear from his eye. "You know, that sort of attitude reminds me of me when I first found out about this power. I was like you, carefree... thinking I could save the world..." He said, smiling weakly for a moment. "But of course, life threw me a crappy hand. You get to change yours." He said with a smile as the kid asked to begin sparring.
Matt just smirked. "Very well..." He said as he immediately broke into a super sprint, bolting towards the boy at supersonic speeds, ready to hit the lad.
(Sorry for the crap post, uni has killed my muse. ^^' )

Alex predicted Matt's reaction as he stabbed the couch. He himself really didn't get the attachment to personal items because he never had anything worth value. Alex felt the anger coming off of Matt and it caused him to hesitate for a moment but he ignored it as he all ready fixed it within moments after. Still Matt warned him that he was lucky it wasn't permanent. Alex giggled "I told you I could undo things by reversing time for just that one object alone. Don't worry nothing we wreak will stay damaged for long after." Alex replied to Matt's death stare and harsh tone of voice. "I want you to know you can go all out with me and you don't have to worry about destroying your place because I'll just fix it later." Alex informed Matt.
It was important that these two preformed to there best in order to understand how far they would go in a real fight. To understand how each other thinks and be able to predict there movements. It would aid them while working in the future as partners. Alex's masters or teachers normally never spoke about fighting along side someone however one teacher, a female in which Alex obtained the ability of time from had spoken to him about the importance of a team and how they must work together in unison. Alex favored that lesson above all else. He wished to be apart of a team rather then fight alone. His style reflected that on the battle field.
After they reached the backyard Alex got into a fighting stance. Yes this young boy had martial arts to back him up. Four different styles each able to utilize his powers. He had four masters so naturally he gained there knowledge. Alex when asked about the question of what would happen to him if he changed the future replied that he would give his life. Matt then stated that he was just like Alex when he first found out about his abilities. He wanted to save the world also. The man showed a weak smile. Alex smiled back at him. "Matt I think your one of the good guys, even if you don't want to admit it I believe that if the world needed heroes I would rely on you and trust you with my life. You've been threw hell I take it but I don't think you would let others go threw hell as well." Alex told Matt he was unsure how the man would take the statement but Alex had to speak his mind.
The fight started as Matt made a dash towards Alex using his super speed. Alex out of excitement immediately shot a bolt of red electricity straight ahead before teliporting to the other side of the yard. When Matt went into his super speed Alex was unable to see him but judging by the direction he was facing Alex, the boy predicted Matt would run straight at him. He hoped the bolt would stop him in his tracks but to make sure Matt wouldn't be able to dodge then counter attack Alex provided space between them.

As Matt ran towards the boy, Alex shot a bolt of red lightning at Matt, Matt quickly feigning to the left and dodging as he about-faced, heading towards the other end as the boy appeared all of a sudden. Typical teleportation maneuver. Teleport behind and attack. It also helped when Matt could read the boy's mind, easily determining what his next move would be. He quickly sidestepped to the side of Alex, reaching out and grabbing his neck.
"Now... Let's see what power I can pick from you..." Matt said as he absorbed his time manipulation power, feeling the power being replicated inside of him. To Alex, Matt's hand would be glowing slightly. "Nice... Time Manipulation." He said as he used his speed to throw the boy to the other side of the yard, emulating super strength to a degree. "Wow... This feels..." Matt began, suddenly teleporting to the other side of the yard, "Weird..." He said in a confused tone. He had mimicked the power, but not the control of it.
(And no, I didn't steal his power. I just mimicked it, lol)

Alex had told Matt that he would count on him and Matt replied that this sort of situation would only acquire in the future were Alex had came from. They were eventually going to travel there soon. But Alex thought that the world even in this time was unbalanced and seemed wrong. Alex was well honored to be able to have such a man as Matt accept him. But even with the ability to read his emotions Matt was hard to read. The man seemed to hide his true emotions so well maybe due to the fact that he was a telepathic himself he knew how to block certain aspects of himself. Alex wondered what the man thought of him. Matt managed to dodge the attack of lightning as Alex had predicted he would. However when Alex tried to escape by teliporting away Matt's speed was to great to predict. He flashed over right were Alex had teliported himself without hesitation. Alex noted that he was faster then any speedster he had ever seen. No doubt the man was using his telepathy to enhance his fighting moves. Matt grabbed his neck. The hand tightly griped caused Alex discomfort but no pain. As Matt told Alex he was going to pick a power to mimic. The process had began. Alex while being held sent a supercharging bolt threw his body to Matt's. Alex had just supercharged all of Matt's abilities to a great extent. One weakness that even Alex was aware of is that while having multiple abilities its hard to control any new ones. Its hard to balance any increase of power for normal specials but having more then one ability supercharged causes them all to act up at once. Matt's powers would all go out of control in a bit. Alex was flung with strength unknown to him. He used a rolling movement to catch his fall and lesson the pain. The boy knelled down from the roll as he turned and faced Matt wondering what he would be able to do to effect him. Matt then teliported to the side of the yard he was in and he seemed confused Alex used this moment to try and land a single punch to the gut, Yet before he would make contact with his stomach Alex created metal spikes on his knuckles hopping to slow the powerful man down. Matt had absorbed Time Alteration. It was different then just being able to manipulate time Matt could now change time itself. Alex was worried what Matt would do with this power having no control over it. "Matt if you're not careful you could age yourself and the things around you older or younger while you teliport. Don't let this ability take over as it has a mind of its own." Alex warned Matt. this ability was so much harder to control then any other ability out there. Matt would no doubt be subject to the side effects while trying to get a handle on it. But then again getting a handle on this power while supercharged was impossible. Alex surrounded himself within a metal armer cover his entire body in liquid metal then hardening it. If Matt came into skin to skin contact with Alex he could age him into a old man by mistake or another result from the Time ability. (lol sweet you picked a difficult power to mimic as i evolved the normal time manipulation ability to much more )

As Matt grasped Alex, he felt the supercharged lightning hit his torso, his eyes widening as he felt the surge of power flowing through him. As he threw him, his supercharged power mimicry suddenly picked up another power from Alex, bypassing his original limitation of one power per evolved human. He had picked up the boy's ability to control metal. His telepathy had been enhanced as well, now hearing the thoughts of the entire suburb in his head. He kneeled over in pain, grabbing his head as Alex's punch originally aimed for Matt's gut, now hit his head, the spikes cutting open his face.
Matt fell over, dive rolling back into a upright position, his wounds healing instantly, due to be supercharged. Matt looked at Alex as he spoke about his ability to manipulate time, how dangerous it was. With all the thoughts going through his head, Matt realized how he could easily gain the upper hand. He was one of the best telepaths in the government. So he could control this power. He focused as hard as he could on the boy, looking at him with burning eyes. "You... Shouldn't have... Super... Charged me..." He said, taking deep breaths as he fired an extremely powerful mental blast at the boy. He then reached into his mind, reading his memories about his abilities.
Matt's supercharged telepathy allowed him to easily pierce minds, reaching the deep subconcious part where control over powers existed. Matt essentially downloaded the information about Alex's powers into his own mind, gaining the same amount of control over his new powers as Alex did. It was then the supercharged effect wore off, Matt panted as the crash from the charge buzz hit him, Matt falling to the ground, panting heavily, and the new information in his head wasn't helping, giving Matt a major headache.
"Oh god..." He said with a groan, rubbing his temples as he looked at Alex, hoping he was ok.

Alex's plan to overload Matt's abilities by supercharging him to a chaotic state seemed to work at first. However Matt had picked up another power from Alex. The power to create and control metal. One of Alex's most useful abilities to use while fighting. Matt showed no signs of this however but it would be good in the long run as Matt and Alex would eventually fight along side each other. Matt knelled overrun with thoughts of others. Alex didn't want to go for the mans head but had no time to react and change his direction. The metal spikes pierced the skin. Alex was worried this fight might be a little to rough. Alex blew out a sigh of relief as he saw the wounds healing on Matt's head. Forcing the words of warning out Matt told Alex he should not have supercharged him.
Alex was starting to agree that maybe that wasn't the best plan of action. His masters would be disappointed. Matt then taped into his most controlled power and sent a powerful mental blast directly at Alex. The child didn't know what was going on and thus didn't prepare himself for what would happen next. Alex's head flew back as if it was punched by an invisible hand. As the head sprung back hazy all white eyes stared blankly in front of him. The boy dropped to his knees. He created a small but sharp piece of metal out of his finger and began drawing in the dirt. The boy sketched out what seemed to be a hart braking in the middle before Alex fell backward and laid unconscious. As he fell backward he scrapped his arm on a rock.
The weather shifted to rain. A byproduct of an ability Alex picked up off of Libby. Weather manipulation. Alex left this power out when he described the rest to Matt earlier because he had yet to control it. The drawing washed away. Alex a little while later awoke with a splitting headache and no memory of what happened. Not only that he could not remember what happened but he had no memory what so ever. About the future he came from, what he was doing with Matt, the friends and connections he made. Nothing he once knew came to mind not even his own name. The boy looked at Matt. "Who are you? Who am I? Are you my dad or something? What happened?" Alex questioned Matt. The wound from the rock was completely healed. Matt's mental attack on Alex unblocked his personal limitations of his empathic mimicry power. Alex before could only absorb abilities of those whom he made a connection with. But now his original ability of absorbing powers of those next to him came forth.
Alex now had no memory of who he was or what he was doing with Matt. The only thing he did remember however was how to fight and his powers. Somehow they subconsciously etched there way into Alex's brain. Alex now mimicked all of Matt's current abilities yet did not know it. He was frightened and confused. Alex looked around all over the place hopping a memory would return. Nothing came to mind.

Matt just watched with curiousity as the boy began to heal from hitting a rock, his eyes hazing over as though he were seeing the future and quickly drawing a heart breaking in two. What the hell was he doing? A heart breaking in two? What did that mean? The sky went dark suddenly as Matt looked up, seeing it rain instantly after Alex had dropped to the ground. What the hell was going on here? However as soon as the kid got up, Matt knew there was a problem.
Alex looked dazed and confused. Like he had no idea where he was. His questions afterward confirmed that. Ah shit... Matt simply thought to himself, looking at Alex with a look of empathy. He'd fried the kid's brain with that mental blast, effectively wiping his memory. Matt raised an eyebrow as he walked over to Alex, kneeling next to him.
"Ok Alex... You're gonna listen to me, okay?" Matt said to him, boring his eyes into his as he accessed his telepathy, linking the pair's minds together. Matt had absorbed some of Alex's memories from when he was downloading data on how to control his powers, so he figured returning them would jump-start his other memories too. However Matt had no idea how much he had taken from him.
So whilst mentally linking, Matt began to push the memories back into Alex's mind, looking at him in the eyes as he did. "Your name is Alex. You're from the future. You're here to recruit people into saving your time. I don't remember the details, because frankly I wasn't really paying attention, but you are here to save your future. You came to me hoping to recruit me. We were having a spar, and you supercharged me, basically making my powers so advanced, I accidently wiped your memories. I'm putting the ones I took by accident back, so maybe this will help you." Matt said as he finished the transfer, returning the boy's memories he had taken.
However he didn't know if that would be enough.

A frightened confused little child sat in the mud soaking wet as rain poured down from the sky above. The sky painted a dark blue and dull gray clouds hid the once golden sun. There was that man whom caused the child this confusion. Well it was only half his fault. Alex should have never supercharged the guy with many abilities deadly or not Matt's powers were to great to handle and the man forced his mental bolt into the skull of Alex. Rendering him with no memories what so ever. This was an unexpected turn of events. Alex before had a mission and a goal. He had training and the will to help others. Now all he could think about was who he was and why the man standing before him had a look empathy on his face.
Matt began walking over to Alex. The boy clenched his fists and slid back a bit but Matt quickly got a hold of him as Alex's body was now weak from the blast. He felt numb all over. The brain is a powerful thing that sends messages to the rest of the body. Having such an attack on it could render any normal person dead. As if Matt's telepathy wasn't strong enough already even without the supercharged effect. Matt then knelled beside him and began to speak. Hopefully answering some of the questions Alex had. He called him Alex. (That must be my name.) The child thought to himself. Then Matt used his telepathy to return some of the memories he had gained while prying his mind before.
It all seemed like watching a movie of his life. Bits and pieces of memory fell into place with the words Matt spoke of. He remembered when he was born and how his mother kept saving his life. He remembered his training with his masters and then it shot in a flash to the present time. He remembered Libby and how they were like brother and sister after only conversing for a little while. He remembered Lydia and how she and Alex made a similar mother daughter relationship. Alex then started to remember Matt. He felt the slimy mud beneath his fingers as a vision of the sparring match played out in front of him. That was all Alex remembered the rest was gone for ever. Alex smiled at Matt. "Thanks I might not remember everything but at least now I know who I am. And who you are."
"So I guess I was on a mission to save the future? Well if I can change the present time by doing good in the world the the future should change to right?" Alex wondered if his new plan would work. To him it was the only plan but he felt like he needed Matt's approval. The boy now knew of all the powers he had obtained and of Matt's job which working for the government he wondered if Matt would be more likely to capture Alex. Due to the fact Alex just became very very powerful. His early limits of connecting with another's hart before obtaining there abilities was now broken. Alex could become a major threat to the world if he gains to much power and cant control it. He looked at Matt still unsure of there relationship. "So are we friends or partners then?" Alex asked him wondering why they were sparring in the first place.

Matt watched as Alex began to remember bits and pieces of his life. Matt too felt the memories as they were passing into Alex. All his memories etching into his mind as though they were his. As though he were actually there in those moments of memory. He felt a little uncomfortable as he finished returning the memories. It felt strange having someone else's memories inside of you. It almost made you feel like them.
So when Alex stated what his purpose was and how if he did good here, the future would change. Matt just smiled weakly. "It might, or it won't. Depends on your actions. Time Travel is a very dangerous tool. So be careful what you choose to change." He said with sombre tone. This was true, and now that Matt had that power as well, he too would have to be careful how he chose to use it.
Matt watched as the boy asked if they were friends or partners. Matt thought for a moment, since this boy had lost his memories... He could easily tell him to move along. Get back to his life... So that's what he decided to do. "No... I'm just someone who gave you a place to stay for the night..." He said with a sad tone. He felt bad about lying to him, but he felt it was necessary.
"So... I suppose you'd have to get going soon. I won't tell anyone about you." He said, walking to up to him and looking at him with a smile. "It was nice meeting you Alex... Have a good life." He said with a smile.
