"Yep, thought it was utter shit." *cocks head* "You aren't using a movie for your argument are you?"

Jack chuckled, an honest one. "I am. Though given that it is a universe somewhere..."

[kantainofunallowed]

"Nope. It's like arresting a man because they might do something. The man didn't do anything. But he still gets punished. And that is not fair."

"Ever seen the movie Minority Report, Boss?" Just keeping Jack talking would also throw off the memory loop. It had to be anything but her recent memories, though.

"It is, isn't?" *steps in front of Jack* "But then again, I really don't like scum that try to kill the truly innocent. Don't be scum, Jackie. No one likes scum. Ever."

"Are they innocent when you know for a fact the atrocities they'd commit? If you were given a chance, would you kill a toddler Vlad Tepes?"

[kantainofunallowed]

"Don't throw words like 'technicalities' about! It's still killing a child! If you want to be killed so goddamn badly..." *plus out a metal bat* "I'll gladly do it for you..."

Jack shook her head. "That's counter-intuitive. I'm trying to prevent all my fuck-ups from ever happening. Killing me now won't do that."

[kantainofunallowed]

"Killing kids is something I'm highly against." *eyes turn red* "No matter what the reason is!"

"Technically, it's not murder, it's suicide."

[kantainofunallowed]

"Jack, I can't let you do that." *pulls out a taser* "I really, really, really can't you do that."

"Really?" Jack checked the fuel on the time machine nonchalantly. "Why so?"

[kantainofunallowed]

"Oh that's O- WAIT, WHAT?"

"I have a time machine with one use left. It's simple: go back to the date of birth, and kill the infant version of myself."

[kantainofunallowed]

"I see. You aren't going to do something drastic, right?"

"No. Just erasing myself from the timestream."
