Even paradise could become a prison if one had enough time to take notice of the walls
welcome to Dire Tactics
Oddities are individuals born with extraordinary gifts. Because of this they are hated, feared and generally persecuted across the globe. In an attempt to give them a refuge the billionaire Theodore Ashford has created Ashford Isle. Presented as a Sanctuary for the special some believe their to be much darker motives behind his generosity.
Ashford Isle
A state of the art city powered completely by renewable energy, gorgeous modern building erected against the backdrop of a tropical paradise. It has all the luxuries modern technology can afford accompanied by the natural beauty and serenity only nature can provide. This city is open to all Oddities and their families, along with several hundred A.R.I. employees, it boast a modest population of just over 5,000 individuals consisting of a mix between both human and oddity. This wonderful utopia however is shaded in mystery both metaphorically and literally. The United Nations have dispatched several fleets of O.S.E. ships near the island, this gives the coastline a ominous view.

"What makes you say that?" he asked as he looked around the room. "I mean it's day time now but that is okay," he said as he put his arm around him and looked at the pictures. "Everything seems as if we left it and more than that we saved those versions of ourselves a ton of heart ache," he said as he stood up. They were dressed differently however but he found he did not particularly care at the moment. "I'll keep the buttons if you keep the leather, maybe it's just the dark color I like so what do you say?" They had messed up something, it just was not time for it to reveal itself quite yet. "You feel better right?" Dr. Carter Q. Stratin

"We really need to figure out what changed Taylor, we do not want to be caught off guard ever about it unless you do not think it was too much of anything." He looked around. "Perhaps it was not much which would make me feel a lot better but I will leave the call up to you." Dr. Taylor Quinzell

Taylor took a second to still check out the buttons on his shirt. This was such a look that he found he was indeed slightly attracted to himself and he now understood what others seen as he sat down beside Carter. "Look at you all worried when you are free, free from your medicine, free from what happened and yes we still have the memories but you know what you need is to just relax. This is why I sit under water falls and why I need to take you and Cami both on a trip and then let the both of you relax while I jet off by myself. You're so tight wound baby that you want something to be wrong when all you need to do is just let it be right for once." He took a second to extend his legs because he so did love to manspread almost out of habit. "Now, I get it. The world is new to you because you are seeing it without your medicine and you are frightened but Carter, have I ever not taken care of you since we've met again? Trust me, daddy's got this handled." Dr. Carter Q. Stratin

"That's not it but if you have it handled, I'm not worried." Trust he felt they had to start building it properly. "Daddy's got it handled though? We will see about that but truthfully thank you. I mean you push me but then you give me my space which is so important for me and to me." It was not small things but constant things when it came to him. "Routine, routine," he said. It was also true his routine was changing but he was going to do his best to adjust to it and start a new calmer routine. "We do need to talk about how we got out though." He was trying to decide if he wanted to talk about it now and he decided that he did not. "You are right about one thing," he said as he spoke carefully. "So done with being tight wound," he said as he looked at Taylor. How to handle this was still a little tricky to him and he just wanted to be brave and go after what he wanted for once. Nothing in his way and just be and yet not break it so he did as he looked at Taylor. "Hi Taylor," he said the uncertainty playing in the room of silence all itself among the two of them. "What now?" he asked. Dr. Taylor Quinzell

"I mean so far so good," he said as he listened to him. Routine yes he knew that much and then he was talking. "I'm right a lot," he said as he watched him. "Hi," he said as he smiled. "Well I was going to go play Monopoly to celebrate but I mean you don't like Monopoly so I'm not sure." Why did Carter seem to get a kick out of teasing him so, because Taylor personally hated it. "If you want to do something, do it," he said. "If you don't want to do anything then do not do it Carter but unless you are offering me something, anything else honestly I made a date with monopoly and I tend to take my dates a little bit more seriously than I should."

Monopoly was he serious, probably since he seemed to have a slight addiction to that game. "I do that game you love so much for work every day it's only natural that I would not do it when I am off so if I need to offer you something else then here it is," he said as he looked at him. "I'm offering you me, completely." "No earning rewards, no work in the way, just me because that is what I want." Confidence boost? He shook that thought away. "So be with me like you would if we were married now and help me to stop avoiding it." Dr. Taylor Quinzell

"Okay," he said as he looked at him. "You know what, that sounds pretty good to me." Finally they were able to get close because it seemed whenever they wre about to something always got in the way but not this time. "I swear I'm so glad you are ready because if one more thing stopped us I was absolutely going to lose it." He was a hardcore romantic, he had to have his romance from time to time and putting all that into this time with Carter only to not be able to kiss his boyfriend was doing a complete number on him.

She was used to coming home to Seattle Washington, only in the year 2045 so when she came home and her home was occupied she stood outside the window. "That is them for sure," she said as she knocked on the window. She took a second to lift up the window and make her way inside. "Dad, and dad," she said. "Taylor Quinzell and Carter Stratin, my name is Tayla Caria Stratin and I am from the year 2045." She looked at them. "In my timeline we are a happy family of three, I am raised by the two of you and I learn so much. I am good at math and the harp and deep sea diving and I take over the book of our finanaces at the age of seven, but you are both a little different where i come from so my only question is which one of you has been messing with time and or magic and has pulled me here?" Her dads. "Perhaps you changed something that pulled me here? Either way, we need to get back to a place called Ashford Isle and figure this out." Dr. Carter Q. Stratin Dr. Taylor Quinzell

He failed to see the issue. "I can get you a job with the research facility," he said with no pause as he looked at Taylor. "Taylor we changed our lives for the better. Look at her," he said. "This is everything that I have been researching and she has our interests and look, LOOK at her. I can finally make the breakthroughs that the research facility needs using her." If you wanted to take over you had to do it from the inside, there was no other way. "Taylor, say something." Carter was down for what was to come as he walked over and hugged her. "Welcome," he said as he let her go. "Our family is a little different here in this, is the correct word time line?" Dr. Taylor QuinzellTayla Stratin

For once in his life he had no words as he stared at her. He blinked a couple of times before eventually giving over to his body's shock as he passed out. He only hoped on the way back home he could have processed it a bit more and figured out a solution on what the hell to do with this, if anything could be done. end ; lol shock!
