~[Location: Unknown]~

Stop...

"Stay away... Stay away from us-"

"Now now you two, we just want to check what we're dealing with."

"No! Don't touch us!"

I don't want this...

"We won't hurt you one bit."

I don't like it...

"H-Help-"

No more...

"Mom?"

"Father?"

I wanna go home...

Where are they?

"Stay away from my brother!"

"Quiet now- this won't hurt a bit."

A pearly white sadistic smile.

"TOMI!"

~[End]~

Tomi sat up from his makeshift bed with a jolt, panting breathlessly with sweat coating his skin. He looks around the room with quick eyes to see if he was back there.

The room was dark but his monster genetics gave him the best eye sight for the darkness. He saw the furniture and decor around the room, even a king sized bed with red covers and white pillows, someone lying down asleep.

He gets up from his nest made of blankets and clothes to walk over to the bed. Going closer, he sees the young version of his father breathing evenly in his sleep.

'I forgot I got transported to the past...' Tomi thought as he stays standing next to his Father's bed. He look around uncomfortably now that those nightmares of his took over his dreams again.

Making a big decision, Tomi decides to wake his young Dad up. He nudged the leader's shoulder gently.

"Tordy? Psst... Are you awake?"

The man groans and opens his right eye while keeping his other eye closed. "Hm?" He responds as he turns on his side to look at Tomi.

"Can I sleep with you?" Tomi whispers with a shy voice. "I had a bad dream."

Tord runs his red, metallic hand through his hair as he sit up on his bed. "Aren't you, what? 17 or 18 years old already?" He didn't get why his future experiment has nightmares and acts like a helpless little kid. The man thought the little look alike would act like Tom when he grew up, all distant and easily irritated.

"Please Tordy." Tomi pleads giving him the kicked puppy look.

Tord gives Tomi a serious look for a moment, never faltering in his expression. Tomi drops his kicked puppy look and looks sadden it didn't work on his young Dad like he suspected it too. Usually his Future Dad would give in a second or two later.

"I'll just go back to my bed then..." Tomi says quietly as he goes back to his makeshift nest of Tord's blankets and hoodies.

Tord sighs and turns back on his bed to go back to sleep. Tomi made it back to his bed and took in the scent of his Dad's comforting scent of his makeshift nest. Yet he was still shaken up by his dream, usually Torm would be with him without a moments notice to calm him down. At the most, he's glad his nightmare wasn't one of his scarier memories that would have caused him to cry or scream in his sleep.

Tomi looks to the open window of the room wondering how his siblings were doing. Is Tika alright? How is Torm doing? He wishes so much to reunite with them soon.

He snuggles into his nest slash bed and closes his eyes. 'I wanna go home and be with everyone soon.'

~Meanwhile~

Past Tom was made to share his room with the two kids due to the having the biggest bedroom in the house left. Edd already had his room filled with his own devices for animations and his other side for art projects. Matt had his room covers with mirrors and novelty toys much to everyone's dismay from time to time.

At the moment, Torm sat on his futon staring out of the window to the moon. He couldn't sleep knowing his little brother is out there in this timeline probably lost or in trouble somewhere. Also troubled by the wonder if Tomi's triggering nightmares by not being by his brother's side.

'Tomi...' He thinks with worry.

"Can't sleep?"

Torm looks back to see Tom closing the bedroom door behind him to not disturb the sleeping girl on the other side of the shared futon.

"I'm worried about Tomi."

Tom hums as he comes over to take a seat next to Torm. "I never thought the Commie's son would have a heart." He says taking his flask and taking a small sip.

"My Mother really changed his heart, he used to be so cold and distant, but now he's really someone I'm proud to call my Father." Torm says hugging his legs loosely with a small smile. "Over the years of being with my Father, I kinda watched him change with my mother's influence over him. Just like how they influenced me so much in my life..."

Tom could hear the fondness in the teen's voice for his parents. Whoever Tord got with in the future really knew what they were doing to keep the man in red in line. "Hey Torm, wanna hear something about your so called Father?"

"What about?" Torm asks with curiosity.

Bring his finger up, he points at his eye. "When your Father's eye seems to turn red instead of silver for a moment, you stay away."

Torm has scene his Father's eye flash red a couple of times before in the past previous years. Following along those red flashes is a either a strained smile or unamused expression.

"The reason I'm telling you this is because there was this one time I caught him with red eyes. Your father having red eyes is a tall tell sign that he should not be messed with at the moment." Tom puts his flask away after screwing the cap back on. He leans over and runs his hand gently trough Tika's long hair with a soft smile.

A smile Torm knew very well when his Mother, in the future, displays when he wants to show his fondness or caring expression to them, his kids.

"Torm."

"Yes?"

Tom retracts his hand from Tika's hair and rests his cheeks against his hand. "I know your father and I don't get along right now... but I'd like to thank you for taking care of my kids."

"There no need to thank me at all." Torm says as he shakes his head. He doesn't need the thanks his young mother is giving to him at all. "Tomi and Tika are like best young blessings I could ever ask for. Without you I guess things would have been different for the future."

His red digital eyes glow within the darkness of the room other than the moonlight pouring in from the window. Tom looks over at him with a chuckle, "Without me, huh?" He stand up and pats Torm on the head. "Hurry up and catch some sleep Commie Jr. If you don't, you might not have enough energy to help look for Tomi tomorrow."

Torm nods his head and scoots under the covers, after Tom retires to his own bed. He snuggles close to his little sister so he knows she's still with him. Her scent calms him down to help lull him to sleep. His arm slowly wrap around her waist so he could pull her closer to his chest.

"Good night, sweet dreams." Torm whispers for his mother, sister, and brother.

No matter how far Tomi is, Torm would never forget to tell his brother this one line.

For the wish his little brother gets his peaceful sleep away from his nightmares.

~+Morning: With the Eddsworld Group+~

The group ate breakfast the next morning in a good mood. They all sat around the table eating their morning meal together with a conversation here and there.

Torm sat close to his sister while still having negative feelings about Tomi's situations. He misses him. He's scared of what could possibly happen to him out here in the past.

Tika, of course, calms him down so he could eat to have enough energy before lunch so they could search for Tomi.

"I say we search around town square first, then possibly check the mall." Edd says after chewing on some of his bacon.

Tom looks up from his bowl of cereal with his usual expression of unamused. "Since I think we'll cover more ground as little groups, I'll take the kids look around the park."

"But we don't even know what Tomi looks like." Matt adds in, then the three of them look to the kids for information about Tika's older brother.

Torm shrugs his shoulders, "Tomi looks no different from Tom. They look alike, just that Tomi's personality is more cheerful and he smiles a lot more." He takes a bite of his scrambled eggs and swallows.

Tika nods in agreement with her brother, "Take Torm for example, he looks a lot like Mr. Tord. Before he got his googles of course..." Torm notices his sister's sad tune so he pats her assuringly on her thigh in comfort.

"So we just have to find a guy who looks like Tom, but cheerful. That should be easy, I think." Edd says unsure but kinda sure of himself.

Tom rolls his eyes and continues to eat like the kids sitting next to him. Matt finishing early eating looked at his reflection until they were done eating.

Their breakfast passes over quickly and Tika makes the decision to help her young uncles find Tomi by going along with them. Torm went along with Tom as planned earlier before to seek out Tomi in another part of town they weren't looking into.

Meanwhile, in a different part of town around where Edd, Matt, and Tika are looking, Tord and Tomi are walking around searching for his brother and sister. Tord decided to wear his usual red hoodie and black pants, dropping the Red Leader apparel to blend in with everyone else. He also kept his hood up just in case anyone recognizes him by his hair.

"So this girl, Tika... She's Tom's daughter..." Tord said to start some kind of conversation with Tomi.

The monster teen nods in confirmation, "Tika's a sweet girl to her parents. Torm and I think of ourselves as older brothers to her when she's around us." Tomi tries his best to keep some information secret such as Tika's parents. Who knows what his young Dad would do if he found out he and Tom are together.

"What's his partner like, if I may ask?"

"His partner is very loving and committed to him. Plus they're overprotective when Tom's ever in danger while at the same time trying to keep him happy." Tomi informs as he thinks about his dad in the future. Unlike his young Dad, his current future Dad is much more compassionate and understanding.... at least when it comes to his family and soldiers.

He hears a hum come from his dad as they continue walking side by side until he hears something faint reach his ears. Tomi's sudden pause made Tord stop in his own tracks as well.

"Tomi?"

"I hear someone..." Tomi looks around frantically for the source of the voice. He knew... he knew that voice!

"Tomi! Where are you?!"

Now Tord could hear the feminine voice calling for Tomi once he tried to listen around as well. From the sound of the voice, it seems to be coming from their right.

The monster teen looks to his right to see his little sister off in the distance with two young men by her side. One wore a green hoodie while the other sported a purple hoodie with a green overcoat. No doubt in his mind that Tika had ended up with their uncles.

"Tika!" Tomi shouts with joy as he starts off running towards her direction.

"Wait Tomi-" Tord says as he runs after his future experiment.

Tika looks to her left at the sound of her name being called by none other that her older brother, Tomi. A smile makes the corner of her lips pull up. "Tomi!" She says surprising her young uncles as she dashes towards Tomi's direction, this leading Edd and Matt to follow after her to not lose sight of the girl.

They met in the middle, the siblings hugging each other tightly in one another's embrace. Tomi nuzzles his face against the crook of his sister's neck with all the built up emotions of happiness and elated joy of seeing Tika. His sister, in return, burying herself in her brother's familiar warmth.

"Tika- Oh my gosh! Thank goodness you're okay!" Tomi exclaims still holding his little sister close to his chest.

Tika looks up at her brother with the same relief expression, "I should be the one saying that Tomi! You had no idea how worried Torm and I were when you disappeared before us!" She says as Tord, Edd, and Matt meet up with their charges.

"Tord!?" Edd says while Matt looks a little confused but still with surprise like his green wearing friend.

"Edd? Matt?" Tord questions confused as to seeing his old friends who he assumes found Tom's future daughter. "What are you guys doing here?"

Edd and Matt looked at each other for a moment and then back at Tord. "We were helping your future kid and Tom's future kid find Tomi. Apparently your kid gets along very well with Tom's kids." They say to him with a smile coming onto their lips.

'My future kid? Wait, more importantly Tom has two of his here...' He thought looking Tomi and Tika who are still talking non stop to one another with concern expressions. 'Hold on, if I remember correctly Tomi said he was only looking for two other kids.'

"What are their names?" Tord asks the two young men.

"Well your kid is named Torm, Tom's kids are Tomi and Tika." Matt tells him as he looks over to the two teens.

Tomi seems to be looking around again trying to spot someone else. "Where's Tormy anyways?" He whispers quietly to his sister.

"He's with mom, Tomi. He's fine, but a little on the edge since we lost you." Tika says back quietly as she takes her brother's hand to lead him over to their young uncles and dad.

Tika and Tomi come to stand close to the group to figure out what comes next. They needed to get in touch with Torm soon and figure a way back to their correct place in the timeline.

"Hi Uncle Eddy! Uncle Mattie!" Tomi cheerfully greets the two other men in their colored hoodies. Seeing them he couldn't help but see where their color choices came from with a smile on his face. It looks like their uncle Edd never retired his green hoodie.

"It's nice to finally meet you Tomi. We've heard a little bit from your sister and Torm about you." Edd said greeting the boy back with a smile of his own.

Matt pulls out his phone, "I'm gonna call Tom and tell him we found you so he and Torm can meet up with us here."

"While you do that Uncle Matt..." Tika looks at her young father. "I'd like to ask a favor of you."

Tord looks down at her intimidatingly with a familiar expression she's familiar with when she first met her dad. Narrowed silver eyes that the right eye had yet to be covered with an eyepatch along with healed scars trailing down the right side of his face, missing lastly the robotic red arm she knew very well of.

"What is there to ask of, little one?"

~Meanwhile: In the Future~

Tom had Seth track them by scent when his lover was obviously looking the wrong way on how to find their children. There was a reason why Tord made the mutant dog in the first place, to guard and watch over the kids.

He had the large German Shepard sniff about the halls to track the fresh scents of the kids. Tom mentally thanking Jehovah that he sent Seth to live with Tika most of the time when she was with the Rebellion. That way Seth could remember her scent properly by memory.

Seth turned the corner of the hall as did Tom when they reached said turn. Soldiers running about doing their jobs in search for the kids or doing their normal assignments stopping for a moment to salute before going back to work.

"Come on Seth, please lead me to a good clue of where they could have gone..." Tom was at this point almost desperate enough to rely on anyone including a dog.

Seth picks up his head when he gets a good fresh scent of his mistress and starts bolting down the hall. Tom runs after the mutant dog until they reached an open weapon's vault.

"The armory vault?" Tom says looking at Seth for a moment. The dog barking in approval when the fresh scent of his mistress ends here and just disappears.

The Blue Leader walks inside while Seth sits just outside the vault like the loyal dog he is. Green eyes scan the room for any clues, which just happens to land on a gun in the floor.

He bends down to pick the gun up. Eyes widening when he sees it's one of the time guns the scientists made by Tord's design. Quickly, Tom takes note of the time and date recorded of when the kids were transported to by the gun. After placing the time gun back on its holder...

He runs out of the vault, digital eyes red, with Seth flooring close on his heels.

"WHO LEFT THE FUCKING VAULT DOOR OPEN!?!?"

~Back to the Past~

Tom brought Torm to the location Matt send him via text. Only for Torm to be greeted with a strong, and he means very strong hug.

"Tormy..."

Torm felt his body go ridge before relaxing hearing the familiar voice and embrace. His digital eyes soften their color red as he hugs his little brother back tightly with a gentle touch.

"Tomi."

Tom feeling a little bit awkward by being within close rage of the affectionate action slowly makes his way over to the rest of the group who is just staring at Tomi and Torm like him for a bit in surprise.

Tika was already use to their affectionate gestures like aways, then again she sometimes forgets her older brothers were monster hybrids who tend to go deep with their affectionate actions towards each other.

"You guys shouldn't be surprised when they get affectionate with each other. There's a reason for it but I'm not sure if it's safe enough for me to tell you." Tika says as she looks back the group of men.

Tord raised a brow at what she said and looks back to the pair. Eyes widening when he sees Torm nuzzling up the side of Tomi's neck before opening his mouth to lick at the exposed skin.

From another angle, Tom could see Tomi doing the same thing after shivering at first when the Tord look alike did the action first.

Edd was literally covering Matt's eyes which made Tika giggle. "Are they dating or something?" The brunet asks shyly to Tom's future daughter.

Tika shakes her head, "The three of us treat each other like siblings like Torm explained before. Torm and Tomi are more so closer to each other because they've been together the longest since they new each other before I came along." She doesn't forget that Tom, Edd, and Matt also don't know Tomi and Torm are monster hybrids at this point of time either. Tika merely assumes their dad knows since he created the two of them by scientific means.

She knew her uncles and parents were probably mind boggled about this but she couldn't blame them. Everyone who sees them doing this for the first time is always assuming otherwise. "Trust me when I say they're not dating in any way, shape, or form."

Tom watches as the two older boys stop licking each other on the neck to press their forehead gently against on another. It seems like they stopped to just calm down and whispers words to each other out of comfort seeing as how relax they're becoming.

"So how are we getting them home?" The British man in blue finally speaks up to get off topic of Edd's previous question.

Tord looks at Tom, "Your future daughter here," he starts sounding a bit stained to say that, "asked if I could try and rebuild the time gun that sent them here. However, at the moment I don't have the tools and blue prints that I supposedly made it with in the future."

Tika looks downed by the fact her young dad couldn't send them back home. Their only hope at this point is that their parents could figure out what happen to them and try to bring them back to their original point of the future. "Torm and I thought he could bring us back considering it's his invention."

Her mom comes over and pats her on the shoulder. "I'm sure your parents must be looking for all of you. Until then, I'm sure Edd doesn't mind that you three can stay over at our house for awhile. Right guys?"

"It's nice to have more company!" Edd says in a kindly manner.

"I can give you all tips on how to keep yourself beautiful too." Matt adds in as Tomi and Torm come join their conversation.

The demon teen hugging his older brother's arm as usual with a grin. "Sleepover!" Tomi cheers with a following giggle.

Edd looks at Tord with an inviting look, "Since you're here too, how about you stay a couple of days until you head back to the city Tord?"

Tord looks at the group, more especially to Tom and the teens from the future. Something just doesn't seem to add up to him.

Tomi's his first experiment of the new series of using monster genetics crossed over with two mixed human dna. So how could he be called Tom's son from what he heard from Edd and Matt? Second of all they said his future kid is Torm. The stubborn and resilient experiment who was part of the first series of tests with using monster genetics to create hybrids.

He just had to see where the source of all this is coming from because it seems the kids are hiding a lot more information about themselves then they let on.

"I can stay for awhile old friends. It would be nice to catch up with all of you after these past few years." Tord answers them with a smile, one smile known by not only Tom, but to the kids as well.

They seen their father's differences in smiles.

This one meant interested, but what about?

~To the Future~

By the time Tom finishes his mothering lecture to the soldiers and ranting to Tord, soldiers were getting everything ready for tommorow's assignment.

Retrieval Assignment: Tika, Tomi, and Torm

Tom was the one to decline the idea of bringing them back tomorrow, but Tord reasoned with him about giving time. Edd and Matt also helped him convince Tom that they needed to have more time to get plans ready if anything negative from the situation occurs if something goes wrong. Such as the Matt incident that Tom remembers clearly, leading him to agree with the reasoning.

Backup plans were made in order to battle out any problems that may occur.

Tord, by Tom's request, had the memory erase gun prepared to bring with them tomorrow on their rescue mission. Hopefully they could talk to their past selves and friends into getting their past few memories to get erased of the days the kids spent with them.

Strong arms wrapped themselves around Tom's waist from behind while he was going through his checklist on the holopad. A head resting itself on a the Blue Leader's shoulder before nuzzling close to their neck.

"Tord..." Tom said as he sets his device down on his desk.

"You okay Thomas? It's been officially two days now since the kids went to the past." Tord feels his lover bring his hand up to pat his head, then sliding down to his cheek.

"I'm fine but worried at the same time." He's afraid something could affect their timeline. He shivers at the thought of his family fading away before his eyes because of one mistake. 'They'll be fine... we have backup plans...' The thought didn't help him much to calm his nerves.

Tord pulls back from holding Tom so he could turn his significant other around. "No matter what happens Tom, we'll figure this out together." His voice serious at the same time gentle. He kisses Tom on the lips softly.

Tom returns the kiss with same soft touch in his action.

"I love you min kjære." The Red Leader holds his Blue Leader's hands in a comforting way. The two of them looking into each other's eyes with soft expressions. "Now let's head to bed and get some rest, we have a busy day tomorrow."

Tom smiles the best he could with his forehead pressed against Tord's.

"Of course my Red Leader."

~To the Past~

"I would like an explanation as to why one of my experiments is Tom's son." Tord, being the one to point out Tomi is his creation, made the occupants at the house look at him.

They were all watching tv enjoying some popcorn until the Norwegian man finally decided to ask his long out question. He wasn't dumb, he knew he stole off some of Tom's dna from his hair brush when he wasn't looking to create Tomi.

"And why is Torm telling you he's my son?" Okay, Tord knew for sure Torm is by dna and blood related to him because of the two DNA's he mixed up to make the devil teen. Not to mentions in the back of his mind Torm is also related to Tom because that was the second piece of DNA he used to make up Torm's other half of his genetics.

Tika looks at her brother's a bit nervously. She kinda forgot her brother's were actually made scientifically by their father.

How were they gonna explain this?!
