Treasure Ch 4
The following story is back to my beginning in Sci-fi. I have no idea how long it will be. Or if there may be more chapters. I just have no idea. It began at 3am and was an odd half-woke dream.
I hope you are enjoying the ride. This variation of Sci-fi never interested me, but a waking dream changed it all.
Interesting question: Does one going looking for THE rainbow? Or just live under the sky under which one was born?
All humans and creatures are over 18 years of age. All humans and creatures are figments of my mind and are not meant to represent any creatures that walk our earth. If one does, please send me an email.
What to do now?
Drew went to his desk and dialed the controls back to his base timeline.
He saw and felt his phone sparkle and vibrate so he opened it once his forty-five was out of sight and within the 'bubble'...
'Just in case they do something stupid,' he thought.
It was the original alien or another being of her race.
"Well, you are still being an asshole I see," she commented.
"Good afternoon, I thought I told them I did not want to talk to you anymore." Drew dryly commented.
"Oh, I am not %^$$#$, I am &^*$% but there is a close resemblance," 'she' commented.
"You are an asshole. Both my creche mate and I agree on that."
Drew tired of alien games responded, "What do you want?"
"I wanted to inform you that with your inadvertent help, we fixed the one timeline. But you have destroyed our research in the other," 'she' stated.
"OK, you have my curiosity. How did I help 'fix' the one timeline?"
"By making the subject who you refer to as Michelle leave your domicile. After she moved back to her original...mate's domicile, they slept. We switched the fetus with one from the mate and that timeline is back to where it should be."
"And the other timeline? The one I allegedly screwed up?'
"Allegedly the human says! All three female subjects are pregnant with your hybrid offspring! Our research is destroyed!"
"Explain to me how I could impregnate aliens?" Drew asked concerned and proud at the same time.
"My Creche mate already explained that there was an odd genetic disparity. Your genetic makeup is...odd, and it caused certain anomalies."
The creature paused again," The ability to impregnate other species seems to be one of those anomalies. My creche mate is so despondent that her other self, in that timeline, is pregnant by you. She had to leave the research facility."
Drew was quiet for a while. He was not dealing well with the thought of having hybrid children and how they may be treated. Would they be made fun of? Or be accepted by the society he saw outside his windows. The scene of aliens cohabitating with humans in a peaceful life.
He snapped out of his worries for the moment and looked back at the alien. This one seemed 'nicer' then the last of her species, 'well except for my honking sex slave," and he thought and smiled a bit.
"If that is all, I'll be going." Drew commented.
The alien did something odd. She held up her six fingered hand and raised one finger. Drew assumed it was a 'pause' symbol.
Drew was not sure of the similarities of communication in the cosmos, but there did seem to be gestures that transcended time and space.
'She' leaned toward his screen and so did he. Her next words were soft and an attempt at a whisper.
"Human, I wanted you to know that I feel you have been treated badly. While I have not been privy to certain discussions, please be aware that you have caused quite a bit of concern. Things are happening on my side of the device. There may be trouble coming your way. This time it will not be a sexy strumpet that thinks too much of herself." She paused to lightly honk in seeming jest.
"Be careful human, there are scarier things in this universe that those idiot lizards." And he watched her reach over and shut down the transmission.
Drew sat back and looked out his office window. He had things to contemplate.

He realized that there was no one he could tell. Nor was there anyone coming to help him. He was alone. And according to one alien, alone against the cosmos. So, he did what he always did when confronted with issues, he did yardwork and played in his butterfly garden.
He thought back to the final discussion with the sexy green Orion bitch. The story of viewing through the portal, the one the device created, was true. She had provided one small truth amongst the series of Lies.
Drew went back into the house and cleaned himself up. Dressed in comfortable clothes he went back to his office and sat with the device in hand.
Drew felt his trepidation. It is not like things had turned out well since he had found the device. In fact, he had not slept well since that fateful moment.
He placed his fingers correctly and the portal opened above the device. He flipped it over and there was only a momentary flickering as the Portal realigned above the device.
He touched the swirl and migrated to his first highlighted tile. What he called the Michelle tile.
He placed his finger and held it and the panorama opened for his viewing.
'Well, the green bitch was telling the truth, 'He thought to himself.
He moved his finger on the tile to see if it would take him through the scene, and it did. He 'walked" from his office to the living room and then paused. Michelle was on the couch crying.
All he originally wanted to see was if Michelle had done as ordered and vacated the house. 'Damn, now I have to go and do something stupid...again,' he thought.
He shook his head and then tapped the tile forgetting about the vertigo.
He ended up scaring Michelle, and himself a bit, as he popped into existence behind her and then gripping the couch to stay upright. She screamed of course.
"You scared me, I did not hear you come home," she commented like her being in the living room was supposed to be a normal occurrence.
