Interlude 2

Thomas Calvert was having another thinker headache. His powers had started to do that recently after Thomas met a cape who called herself BB-70.

==================

Try 1

At the PRT power testing room.

"Stand clear! I'm doing a full barrage!" Is shouted by the cape.

That's where the time line ended.

===============

Try 2

Coil is in his base listening to his mercenaries over the phone. They decided to attack the dock workers Union to abduct her.

"Sir we're trying but she's shooting back! We're taking heavy casualties!"

There is a loud bang before the phone goes silent.

"Damn it." Coil says ending the timeline.

==================

Try 8

When Georgia was at the Board Walk.

"Hello Georgia, I am Thomas Calvert. I work for the PRT." Thomas says, trying to introduce himself.

"You broke the Unwritten rules, I am going to sink the rig after I kill you." Georgia says

All he sees is a fist coming toward him as the time line ends.

=================

Try 9

"GEORGIA BEAAAAMMMMMM!" Is head over the radio as Thomas' body double dies.

He sighs as he ends the timeline.

===================

Try 10.

Maybe if he approached her in a crowded mall she couldn't shoot because of the civilians.

"Hello." Is all Thomas manages to say before

"GEORGIA BEAAAAMMMMMM!!!!"

Coil's head hit his desk as the Timeline ended again.

"Got it, don't go after Georgia… How about Danny or Taylor Hebert?" Thomas says

==================

Try 12.

"Sir! We've managed to kidnap Taylor Herbert like you asked." Is said over a phone

"That's great. Just get her to my base." Coil says back

12 separate timelines. It took 12 goes to get just this far.

Suddenly there is screaming over the phone followed by gunshots.

"Captain! What is happening!?" Coil shouts

"Bugs! There's lots of bugs!" That's when the line went silent.

"What the fuck?" Coil asks, confused, ending the timeline.

============

Try 15

"Sir! We got the girl! I don't understand why you have us killing Miss Hebert. However it…"

The end bringer shelter shakes as the bunker partially collapses.

Coil checks the cameras that view outside to see that they aren't working.

"You fucked up thomas." Contessa says

That's the last thing Coil heard before the timeline ended.

=================

Try 20

"Taylor is protected by fucking cauldron are you kidding me!" Coil shouts throwing a glass across the room

There is a crashing sound as it breaks scattering pieces across the ground.

"Maybe Tattletale has something for me." Coil asks himself.

===============

Tattletale is currently hiding under a blanket trying to sleep off her thinker headache. When her phone rings.

"Hey boss man?" Tattletale says

"Do you have anything on the new cape I sent you info on?"

"Is Battleship, YES!" Tattletale responds

"That's it?" Coil asks

"There's also GEORGIA BEAM!!!" Tattletale says rubbing her temples trying to nurse her headache.

There is no sound over the phone however that statement causes Coil to flinch.

"Where are you at?" Coil asks

"I had to get out of the bay for a bit. I am in Boston," Tattletale says

"I'm working on a plan to get rid of her so. Don't stay gone too long or I'll find you," Coil says threateningly.

"Sure thing boss," Tattletale says hanging up on the supervillain.

"I'm obviously not gonna sleep. Is there anything to do here in Boston? I should go check the tourist brochures in the lobby," Tattletale says, getting out of the bed.

(As an author's note I'm done rolling dice to see if encounters like this happen. My luck is stupid. Literally rolled 3 nat 20s in a row for the sequence of events that leads to Lisa and Georgia meeting later. This is the second time this has happened. The last chapter First it was rolling for that van to hit Georgia. Then rolling for the van to belong to a tinker. Then rolling for the materials in the van. Oh? Got a random ship part? Roll to see what ships it's from… I have thrown the dice away. The rolls with Lisa just broke the camel's back. No more dice.)

The display stand had a bunch of brochures for a bunch of different places.

"USS Cassin Young? USS Constitution museum?" Lisa says, picking up the brochure.

"Maybe I could learn more about battleships?" Lisa says to herself having decided on where to go.
