Editing The Sanguine Squad: The Innocent (section)

=='''Backstory:'''==
Who or what brought you to the present?
Professor Graham's aetheric booster ring -- it was just supposed to speed me up, but it sent me on a shortcut through the Fifth Dimension, or something. I can't find the Professor to ask him and I'm afraid he's dead. 

When did you first meet your future self?
She found me, wandering and homeless, I don't know how. I didn't know who she was behind the mask and armor, but I was grateful when she gave me some money and steered me towards the teen shelter. I shudder to think what could have happened otherwise... the neighborhood where the lab was is a barrio now and I didn't feel safe there. I asked her about my family, and she told me to worry about myself, not them. Later I found out they were all long dead. Why didn't she tell me? 

How is your future self the embodiment of a future you never wanted?
She's so powerful, but so lonely, and everyone is afraid of her. My -- our -- parents left Tormentosa to get away from the fear and violence and she personifies it. The local "Tormento"community is scared of her and tells all kinds of stories I don't want to hear, even though she funds their youth center and scholarships for the kids. 

What is your favorite part of life in the future? Your least favorite part?
I like the food and the music and smart phones are amazing. I can't believe the fashions girls wear these days, even girls who live with their mothers! I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing, really. And Halcyon City is so big and everything moves so fast and everyone talks on social media which don't make any sense to me no matter how may times somebody tries to explain it. 

Why are you determined to stay in the present with this team? 
Well... I'm afraid to use the aetheric booster until I understand it, and Professor Graham isn't here to help me. And besides... I made some friends here in this strange new time, strange new friends, but I think they are good people. And I'm worried that if I go back now, it will just close the time-loop. How did Ambassador Bell know how to find me, unless it was from her own memory of that day? How can I be sure that I'm not on track to become her, making every mistake and hurting everyone that she did?
