Solution

Black, everything was black for me for some time when I gained half of my consciousness, I could hear some intense and familiar noises which were seemed to be the bi-product of a very serious counter-attack strategy discussion. I tried to wake up from my unconsciousness, my head felt heavy and as I opened my eyes, the scene was still blur for me, after some moments when everything clears up before my eyes I could see a familiar face before me.

"Thank god, you finally awake. You were hurt badly I guess that cause of the way you got unconscious at the field", Nile said.

I tried to get up but the pain in my head was killing me and all the previous events were recalled.

"You should rest for a while, your injury isn't fatal but you should rest for the recovery. You did a great job considered your experience." Nile insisted me to rest for a while.

"Oh geez, you finally awake huh, I never thought you would be this weak. You got unconscious in just one hit, you really need physical capacity escalation for the future mission because you seriously lack the stamina." Zoe told me in a high pitched voice.

Geez seriously I wasn't interested in this crap at first and you were the one who dragged me into field without any simulation or training.

"But you did a good job, you don't lack the willpower I can say that but you will be training at simulation soon so be prepared." And Zoe left the room after saying that. Nile spent sometime there and he left too, and I got to my peace sleep again. Later that day my phone buzzed and I got a text from Zoe, it says,", Everyone,gather at the strategy discussion room." Yeah she's very lazy to be coming here to call me or sending someone. I bet she even sent this same message to everyone to reduce the work of sending Everyone with specifics. Because I have no idea where the strategy discussion room is. Finally I found the room after half and hour of wandering around the hallways.

When I entered the room I heard,

"You're late rookie, you got the message right?.", Zoe said that.

I wanted to reveal the truth but I know it will be considered as an excuse so I came up with an excuse at the end.

"My head was spinning, so it took some time to get here." This was my answer.

"Ok, enough with the chit chatting, we will start the discussion now. As you all know what problem is at our hands now. So after some brainstorming session with the members of Task force of TIME and professor Blitzkrieg, we came to a conclusion that professor didn't have any row material to reverse the animation process of that monster so we have to travel back in time with the help of the ability of Reversal and prevent the distortion makers to create the distortion in the first place. We have to jump back to exact point in time when the monster was created. The team for this operation will be Noah, Zoe, Nile and Reversal.

Any questions." This strategy was explained by Mr. Chase Hendrix.

"Mr. Hendrix, is it necessary to take Noah with us in his current condition, because he is not ready for the combat experiences yet, would it be okay for him to be in the field because the distortion makers are quite experienced in combat and if he doesn't know how to counter them then he will become a liability to the team."

Yeah these were the true statements at time time, now I know why people say that the truth hurts, that was hurting me deeply.

"There isn't going to be any problem with Noah because you are very capable of covering for him, besides his abilities may come in handy for the situations like combats. But still if the distortion makers were to time manipulation ability holders or superhumans and the situation got worst for Mr. Xavier then Reversal will immediately bring him back the starting point in time jump. I think Mr. Xavier had potential in him to face the dangers by himself, his past records says that. And I have analysed everything this mission is ranked D in the data base the problem will be dangerous if the distortion makers are to be skilled high ranked member of opposite fraction. But this simple task of creating the monster and setting him off should be done by lower ranked ones. So my conclusion is that this could be good opportunity for him to gain more experience."

I was confused that I was in danger or not, but I got a feeling that if I let may guard down then the history will repeat itself. The question in my mind was, who is Reversal and can I trust him.

"Understood sir, Noah will be safe and sound after this mission and the previous events are not going to repeat themselves."A girl came out of nowhere and said with high confidence.

I guessed that she was the Reversal Mr. Hendrix mentioned.

"Hello, I am Reversal, Nice to meet you Mr. Xavier" she stretched her hand towards me for handshake. We shook hands, somehow I got relieved and annoyed at the same time. Relieved because of her statement but annoyed because I was rookie afterall.

She had short hair and her personality was kind and warm nothing like Zoe's.

"By the way I have the ability to send back someone in time and travel back in time, you don't have to worry about how to be back at where we started because I can send back everyone at starting point too" This was Reversal's explanation about her abilities.

"Any further questions?",asked Mr. Hendrix.

"No, sir", all of them replied, except for me and the professor, these things were new to us normals.

And after this session we headed towards the location where the distortion started in first place, I had no idea what was going to happen to me this time.
