Next chapter is here! Thank you for continuing to read this and I still don't own Homestuck. It's time for the start of my input to such an awesome story and I can't wait to find out how you guys think about it and if I need to improve on anything. Any ideas that you have would be great to make this story the best that it can be. Warning, a special AI will be in this chapter! Anyway, on with the new chapter!

I stood outside the rubble and hide behind the wall. I took a deep breath and took a sharp turn to the right. It felt like I was playing hide and seek with the criminal. If I was found than it would be an automatic game over. I finally managed to find the Vanisher's hide out and apparently all I had to do was jot this down and head to the bank that was nearby.

After finishing off a quick doodle of the area, I quickly made my way to the destination I had to be at next. I had to be extra careful to not be spotted by strangers. Maybe I should have just paused time but I wasn't sure how long I could hold that for yet so acting like a wicked spy was the best option to go on at the moment. luckily, I felt pretty badass.

I reached the location and spotted Xavier instantly. There was no time to hold back any regrets. I sprinted towards him while staying in the shadows. I couldn't loose him just yet.

I finally caught up to him and luckily no one was around. I caught my breath and made my way over to him. "I'm Dave Strider. I need to talk to you."

"I've been expecting you." Xavier replied. I couldn't help but be surprised. How? I mean a future me could have but... that made no sense. "Don't worry I had a feeling someone was coming to talk to me today. So why did you want to talk to me at this time?"

"I need you to go to..." I began to explain where I was in the future, that I needed his help and everything else that seemed important at the time. Xavier nodded his head.

"Okay I'll see what I can do. In the meantime you might want to go back to your time and finish what you need to do." Xavier advised me. This confused me and before I could say anything he added, "I'm sure you'll figure it out. And now I've got to go and finish this investigation. Thank you for giving me this information."

"It's fine." I managed to reply. So much for being the coolkid.

After going back to my timeline, I just wanted to go to bed. Even if only few minutes had passed since I was gone here, I had been gone for most of the day. I made my way down the corridor soon came to a halt. I forgot to tell him about the hideout! I could go back in time and tell him about it but something told me that I had done the right thing and that if I did tell him then the time stream would have changed, and, not for the good.

I carried on until I got to my room and dropped onto my bed. The mission might have been super important but I didn't really do anything. I had a feeling that what I did had changed something in the time stream but now wasn't the time to worry about that. Someone had knocked on the door. I got up to see who it was to see a boy who looked exactly like my bro but had red lines running along his face and he wore all black clothes. "Hey I'm Hal. It seems that you are a new teammate to Xburb. I am also in that team." The boy informed. So this was the last member. "Sorry for not being able to meet up with you. It seemed that now was the best chance to meet you."

"Hey dude. I'm Dave Strider. How come you look like my bro." I questioned the smaller version of Dirk.

"Dirk is my creator. Well that would be about 20% accurate. I was made by Dirk with the help of two people in the past."

"Do you know who the others are?" I pressed on. Curiosity was growing inside me and I felt like I needed to know how Hal had been able to be a mutant.

"It seems you are after information of the others but that is information that I am not allowed to share. I made a promise with them in exchange for some pretty wicked stuff." Hal explained. This left a few questions I had with blanks and before I could say anything Hal continued, "Before you ask, I am human." I tired not to seem shocked but it obviously failed. Ever since I met Karkat my coolkid act was falling apart. "It seems that you do not understand what I mean but that's cool dude."

"No, I think I get what you mean." I ran a hand through my hair.

"It seems that you are lying to me but I fully understand why I mean you don't want to let your act of being cool and sick fall. You remind me of Dirk and Roxy a bit."

"How did you know?" I dropped the act. It was stupid to continue it from the way things were going.

"I can see how accurate things are to the truth. It's my power." Before anything else could happen, a ringing came from Hal's pocket and he fished out a phone. "It seems that I have to go." He said and I nodded my head in response. He was a strange one and I had some questions I needed to ask but that could wait. I was going to hit the hay.

After waking up from my sweet nap, I decided to grab some food. I slipped back on my shades and left my room. I had a feeling that my mission still wasn't over. Xavier had said that he had expected me to turn up there so that could only mean one thing.

Sorry to cut this chapter so short and on a cliff hanger too! I'll make sure that the next chapter is a lot longer than this one. So, we've met all the people in team xburb and there are still many questions to be answered like how did Hal become human and how did such a mission happen so smoothly. All those questions will be answered in due time so make sure to review on what you think and I can't wait to see you all in the next chapter! Bai!
