"His?" Porter malfunction now tops the list. "What is your last memory, Sergeant Reese?"

"Sergeant." Slight laugh here. "Captain. Um. Before I came here? Some kid named Connor showed up without any clothes."

"My apologies." And Porter malfunction confirmed. In no record can Cameron recall Kyle getting a promotion to captain. "Most likely from TDE use. In a large number of timeline scenarios, John Connor is very crucial to the Resistance's defense and attack against Skynet."

She pauses for a moment and shifts the phone in order to pour herself coffee. "Before this conversation continues I feel the need to inform you that I am not Allison Young, if that name means anything to you."

"Yeah. He...seemed to assume we'd know who he was." Waiting a beat. "We didn't, if that needed clarifying."

He thinks about that for a moment. About why she'd 'need' to inform him. He's not sure he likes it. "I kind of figured. That you weren't."

"Displacement causes alternate timelines to occur. If he left as a teenager, then it would make sense that no one would know the adult he was supposed to become." It makes her think too. Wondering why he'd do that.

"All right." She doesn't sound apologetic about it. She isn't and she has no intention of saying outright that she killed the girl.

That? Is probably the best idea ever. Hell, he'll just assume it's one of those alternate timeline occurances. "I see. Yeah. He was...a little out of it. Seeing my brother. And her."

"I take it you didn't get a chance to speak with him? To learn the events that lead up to his displacement?"

If she's lucky, she'll never need to bring up Allison Young again.

"No. I'd just gotten back. Recon." Lets hope she's very, very lucky.

"Thank you for explaining." So much hoping. "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Uh...sure?" A pause while he thinks. "I don't know. Like I said, I'm kind of at a loss here. Sorry."

"There is no need to apologize. Have you spoken with Sarah Connor?"

"Yeah. She's...not happy?"

"The version of you from this timeline is close to her. I suspect the unanticipated change has upset her."

Unfortunately Cameron is the last person on the planet to be able to help Sarah with that.

"Yeah, that's...how it seemed." And Kyle is sorry about that too, really. "I don't think it'll be long."

"You don't think it will be long?" She doesn't understand what that means.

"He left a note. In a book. Rainbows all over it."

Cameron makes a soft 'ah' sound. "Limited precognitive ability."

"Yeah." He guesses, anyway. "so you won't have to put up with me for long."

"I don't think anyone is putting up with you." Sounds too negative, to Cameron.

"Well. I don't know about that." He's sure they'd rather have their friend.

She frowns, though he can't see that. "I'm not certain what to say."

"Sorry." Thinking for a moment. "Is there anything that I should be doing? Here?"

"Skynet is not present in this reality. There is no Resistance because there is no need for one. You are welcome to do as you choose."

"As I choose." No Skynet and no resistance. It sounds strange to him. "What does he do?"

"He has a job. He isn't very fond of going out."
