“People can be rude sometimes but I can help at least.  We are in London.”  He says and looks at him with worry.  “Here.  Let’s sit so you don’t pass out okay?”  He asks and clears the bench so he can sit.

“I’ll be fine,” Alexander waved him off, not liking the feeling of being so cared over. “Last I heard London was trying to kill us, y’know, with their dozens and dozens of guns and ships that we didn’t have.”

“Oh that’s a dollar.  You’re in the future Hammy.”  He says and pulls out a 10 he stole and shows him.  “See this is you.”  

He stayed silent, looking at the ten dollar bill in his hands. His own eyes looking back up at him. A legacy. “This doesn’t make any sense, it’s ludicrous.”

“You mean cellphones? Okay, look, you are in London or that’s what people keep saying to me”

“London?! You got to be shitting me, was I kidnapped or something? They’re the guys trying to kill us!”

“ if you pass out, i’m not going to help you there. “ heather responded coldly, “ you’re in london, the year is 2017. light up boxes are portable phones && you honestly sound stupid.“ the redhead hissed, rolling her grey eyes. “ i mean, i get it. i’m not from this year either— i’m assuming here, that you’re from the past, because if you don’t know what a dollar is?? we’re going to have some issues. “

The revelation of the current year hit him suddenly, without warning and almost cruelly. There was no way he was alive- it was near impossible. A stray bullet must have clipped him, left him to die and hallucinate a far off future. “1776...” He murmured, slowly pulled back form his thoughts. “We were using British money, we used coins. Nothing like this flimsy green scrap with faces staring at you.”

“Every time I ask someone where I am they walk by me and don’t even look up from their tiny light up boxes. One guy gave me a piece of paper with George Washington’s face on it with no explanation. I think I’m gonna pass out.”
