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.

Mickie looked and sighed. "I've been to Peru," she said. "Taylor took the whole harem he said something about it being about letting us go and find our own life and he had, well he allowed us to stand on this rainbow sand."
She hated Cami so much. "Cami was there, but I don't think Cami is the problem. I don't even know if problem is the correct word. I was also on a trip with Cami and she clearly used magic to protect the children." What and Why.
"Also that rock thing that you have, I've seen that before. I gave it to Taylor, well a version of it to Taylor. I thought he would pass it off to Mallory and tell her about my discovery but I guess he kept it." She hated him too such a sneaky bastard. "So, we tried also to go to Cami's apartment once and we could not get in, but then we went again and Taylor was there and we got in fine."

She looked at them. "So what I'm hearing is that I have siblings. I don't have siblings in my time line, but can I meet them? I don't care how many," she said. "I would like to meet them." She turned to the mean hot one. "Avery I looked over your database, Lyra and Levi is it? I would like to meet them too." She smiled. "Should any of your assumptions be correct I need all twelve of my siblings. You see from what I can tell everyone is counting only one side of my family, the more active sex god I suppose but I, should you be correct am from Stratin and Quinzell DNA." Smart. She was smart. "Which means I have 12 siblings. Ten on one side and two on the other. I am lucky number 13, and should what you think be correct, well that means this magic thing is spread further than even I realized." Count all the pieces. "Vera," she said. "I'm sorry, it's Avery here, Avery, please set this up. I believe we need to gather these women, harem? I will talk to daddy and let you ladies know, understood?"

"Stop calling me that," she said as she looked at them. "Stay away from my children," she said. Carter was a dead man and no one could help him. "Look you work here now, just lay low and we will figure something out. You do not need to go near those children and if you even try it I will find you myself and waterboard you so hard that you will end up in the island, decomposted instead of on the island and living." People were always messing with her plans. "Be happy, see what life could be like and do not, do NOT do anything out of the ordinary. These two have to be nice to you, I on the other hand do not. Do something good for this company, how about we start with that and I will consider letting you see my children." Madison Nottingham-QuinzellMickie ReedTayla Stratin

Madison had a feeling that things had changed already and they wouldn't have been any the wiser without this lab conversation. So mentally going through what she'd heard Avery was certainly in both timelines; this one and the one Tayla jumped from. Her fathers were and probally the mother. The fact she'd no siblings in the other time made her wonder if things had just been different or even if Taylor had ever met Cami. Then she stopped that chain of thought. It was a rabbit hole too far and starting to give her a headache. If she was around in that future that was fine; she was also fine with not knowing and living in the now. So when Avery made her point of view really clear she glanced over to Mickie. She'd also laid out the pieces she had of this puzzle. She did have a follow up suggestion for Tayla as she could take a different line in her case. "Feel free to talk to your fathers but its easier to just live a life here and now. The answers will fall into place in time. Also do you have an apartment to go to yet?" Let the practical things get sorted out first. Tayla StratinAvery AshfordMickie Reed

Wait, Avery had kids but not by her husband. Damn it Mickie needed to start keeping up more. "Oh I just got that, Avery sleeping with your employee that's a shame." She thought about these people that existed in one time but did not in another. "I agree that something is different but we will not be able to figure out what. You do need to just work and let it play out."
"Hell I am not sure you talking to us is not even changing stuff and hopefully your fathers are not doing anything else. You know what you need, a girls night after you find you an apartment. Can't have you homeless."Tayla StratinAvery AshfordMadison Nottingham-Quinzell

She wondered why this Vera was so different. Hers was nice, happy, but perhaps that was not the case here. "I do not have anywhere to stay," she finally said. "Was just going to crash at one of my dad's places but honestly I can not access them which is strange but then I realize I am not from this time." Madison Nottingham-QuinzellAvery AshfordMickie Reed

"I am not building you an apartment. Since you are not in this time line the last thing that i need to get messed up is placing you next to someone that you might not need to be next to. Find you a place to go, perhaps with one of them or the orphanage if nothing else since that is the purpose of it in the end." Who the fuck was Vera also but she stayed quiet. "I need a drink after this and i do not want to go alone so who is coming with me?" Madison Nottingham-QuinzellMickie ReedTayla Stratin

Madison was fully loaded in terms of her apartment. Mallory, Eric and a dog named Check was there already. Then add in the baby sitting that took place there and that was a non-starter even if Tayla was her niece. So looking over to Mickie she had to quietly say "I'm got no room at the moment but the orphanage is a good option. I've been there on business and seen what they do". Then she turned to Tayla and said "a room at the orphanage would work for you. If you need anything I could take you to the mall as well". She didn't know what Tayla had or lacked and she could at least show her grown up niece around. Tayla StratinAvery AshfordMickie Reed

She nodded. "Let's hope we get you where you need to be before it gets too late," she said. "Come on, it looks like Avery needs a break anyway," she said. She had no idea what indeed was going on but she knew if her help was needed then she had to help her. "I do hope that you know what you are doing Tayla," she said.Tayla StratinAvery AshfordMadison Nottingham-Quinzell

She thought and she listened and she spoke. "That works for me," she said. "I'll meet you guys over that way in a bit. I promise." It was true people don't just come int your life for no reason and she knew it the minute she seen him but you see she could not tell them. No, she was going to have to use all the resources at her dispoasable to do what she could not do in 2045. Save her father. 2045: Seattle, Washington, just before the magic :
"Daddy," she said as she sat down with Taylor. "I know it's been five years but could we, should we?" For someone who had always loved to jet set as they called it she could not recall the last time she had seen him do such an act. "I'll tell you what I will take these dna samples and make it better."
Frozen, still in tact. "I'll just follow the magic." History. "I just need to go to the day after your wedding. Everything was perfect up to that point, at least according to my records. "Be back soon." Her entrance to their world was about 2 months earlier than planned but it was fine. "See you guys soon," she said as she exited. She was not listening to Avery or anyone else who was going to stand in her way. She had to save Carter as she picked up her file and watched the change.
