Ever since Grey woke the world as he knows it changed. In his mind appeared a linear line with no end or beginning. He knows he can travel backwards or forward using that line but he risk futher damaging the main timeline doing so. A branch spread from the line and somehow he knows the cause of it is the time machine being activated at his lab by Emily.
Emily has become an inigma to him somehow he knows she exist but he can't remember her face or voice. Gey knew that he have to find her whatever the cost because she's the only he has left.

"GREY!!!", A womans voice yelled.
"What!!", A boy's voice replied with annoyance.
"Come down and do the dishes this instant", said the woman in an authoric tone.
"Ohh come on give the kid some slack school has been hard on him", a mans voice suddenly said to the woman.
"Do u want to do the dishes" , ask the woman looking at the over talkative husband.
'sorry kid i tried my best ', thinks the man while wishing his kid luck.
As they were busy talking a young Grey suddenly walk down the stairs while being grumpy.
" Why is it always me doing the dishes can't you do it", Grey said while mumbling.
"What was that", the woman ask.
"Nothing", Grey replied.
As he was doing the dishes like a criminal doing his duties a phenomenon suddenly occured. The water suddenly slow down like it's been placed on slow motion. Panicing Grey looked at his parents and finds them slowndown too, only he is the only one moving normal.
BOOM!!!
An explotion of colour bloomed from the living room where his parents are temporarily blinding him. Then he saw things he can't understand visions of a man fighting a giant, aliens invasion, giant beings made of ice,the world being made and destroyed over and over again etc.
Grey saw so many things his mortal mind didn't or couldn't understand. After what felt like forever the young Grey finally regains vision and open his eyes. He saw his mother and father flung in the air by the explosion frozen in time and then they start to age in fast forward. They age and age until they become dust right before his eyes.
He was 13 years old and he had a hobby of reading novels and comics so he knew what he was possible dealing with. Time Manipulation.
...
THE PRESENT
Grey thought of that encounter while still strapped on the bed. He have finally did it. Grey did what he seek out to do made a fully functional time machine.
Grey thought that with the time machine he can finally have his parents back. How so wrong he is. Only to find out they are erased by time like Emily will be if he doesn't find her.
While he is lost in thought the black man start untying his straps while talking in a grim voice.
"For what u did time is collapsing. For the past 10 years because of what u did we have noticed plenty of things out place out of time. 5 years ago a man from a distant past find himself stranded in our headquarters he's identify unknown untill we did an investigation. Only to find out he is Moshe Ben Amram . You may know him as Moses the man who parted the sea. Luckily he is one of our own so he was brought up to time quickly. Others not so much", the man said done freeing Grey from his straps.
The room suddenly dim and rearrange itself, mirrors gone and the bed Grey laid on retract to the ground leaving his sitting on the floor.
" I can't stand though my leg...", Shocked Grey finds his leg he cut off to escape the explosion debris in perfect condition.
