In the detention room of the Virginia University library, two people were standing aghast. They had seen something which their eyes witnessed but their brain refused to accept. General Wattson has pointed the gun towards the imposter while he was trying to acccess his cellphone and warned him to abandon the equipment. When the boy continued typing Wattson pulled the trigger without any hesitation but the bullet never reached the target. The boy disappeared into the thin air like some unexplainable trick in the magical show. The Chinese boy was horror struck, first because he was being pointed at by gun by some serious military man and secondly because the boy standing next to him who looked perfectly normal did something so humanely abnormal. When General Wattson got back his senses, he moves carefully across the room and bent down at the corner to pick up the wasted bullet. He examined it and smiled, after all his shots never missed the target, the bullet was covered with the blood.
Rohan woke up to find the ceiling of the room strange, there were wired sockets and LEDs, he could not move his one hand but the other hand moved involuntarily almost without effort. Slowly, he was becoming aware of the pain in his whole body. When he could open his both eyes wide he found that he was tied to the chair and his legs were floating. He felt the extremities of exhaustion, it was as if he was running continuously for miles. Then he saw his right hand bleeding but he could not feel it, he tried to move his shoulder muscle when he felt the pain as if the whole hand was about to be ripped off. He decided to leave the hand unless he find some help. As he rolled his eyes around, he could see that he was in the control room and suddenly he realized where was he? He have successfully teleported himself to the space shuttle. But he could not find the time machine anywhere near to him. He waited for a long time and then from the neighbouring chamber a body came floating and he realized the exact resemblence of the man with the face he saw on the website. He had the time machine in his hands, he came in front of Rohan and just broke the machine into two parts by pushing some knobs. Then he opened one small oven like chamber and put the machine parts in it and closed the oven. Rohan found the flames burning the parts of the machine. Then George Thompson came near him and said, "Rohan I know you are in big trauma right now, but I want to ensure you that I am here to help you out." "You are a murderer and how am I supposed to believe you?", Rohan asked furiously. "Ok, I will explain you it all from the start. You are the victim of a delusional disorder called Schizophrenia where you imagine the unrealistic things happening around you. All your fantacy world characters you try to bring into your life and suddenly you loose your grip over what is real. You imagined yourself with the Harry Potter scenario and considered yourself to be unaware of all the time machine secrets. Then suddenly one day a man approaches you and tells you something which you thought would happen only in dreams, just like the Harry Potter story. You then moulded the character of Albus Dumbledore into Tom Ford who told you about the Villian and left you without any direction how to defeat him." This time George Thompson took a long pause. He could see the doubt rised in the eyes of a boy. "You are more delusional dependencies from the fictions like X-men. You resembled the old friendship of Professor X and magneto from the Xmen and their further dispute with your Prof Ford and your so called villian George Thompson whom you assigned to me." "Wait you mean to say that all this is creation of my mind?", rohan asked confused. "Yeah" "And how would you justify all your accussions?" "Because we created the profile of your brain imagination. From childhood, you were under the great influence of Hollywood movies and fascinated by the concepts of time travel. All these hallucinations did not take place in one single day then build themselves up gradually through your dreams and finally one day you lost the grip of reality.", George Thompson was explaining everything with utmost sincerity which made Rohan more and more confused. 'Think logically and reason with his explainations', rohan's conscience was telling him to neglect the immense body pain. "I think you are trying to play mind games with me. Because if I am the one who is hallucinating then how can I allow you to break them?" George Thompson smiled and replied, "Because on some level your conscience is doubting your illusions whether it is the effect of our medicines or your will power, I am not completely sure of." "When you say our medicines what do you mena to say?", Rohan asked sarcastically. "Whether do you believe it or not, you are in the hospital getting the psycological treatment" "Then how can you justify the every single detail I am noticing here, we being in the anti gravity chamber of the space shuttle." "Because mind is very powerfull tool when it comes to imagining things.", George Thompson continued, "I will ask you one more question which would help you differentiate on the illusionist and realistic grounds. Why did you go 3 years in future when you could not find the so called George Thompson in first place?" "Because I could not go past in the parallel reality to fetch him.", Rohan fumbled these words but at this time his confidence in his own theories started shaking a bit. "There lies my question, why did you go by exact 3 years, why not 4?" There was a long silence. George knew that Rohan's mind will need some more time to comprehend this treachery of illusion.
