Room 317, Saturday evening

Claudia had managed to lose her little stalker twice during the day -- but Stan was nothing if not persistent, and he managed to follow her all the way back to the dorms, where she proceeded to try to ignore him while he puttered about with her stuff, giving her tools a whir and basically pressing as many buttons as possible.

It was what he did.

"Geez, stop fidgeting," Claudia said finally. "Just . . . go online, or something."

It might be a long weekend.

[ooc: primarily for the kid, but the door and room are totally open.]

"I used the password."

"Well, yeah. You let me help out when Gramps isn't around to complain."

Stan sighed. She'd definitely been messing with something in the warehouse.

"Stanley Arturo Donovan-Fargo. Your son."

"It was Uncle Joshua's idea. He didn't think you'd. . . ." Stanley trailed off, spotting the look on his mom's face.

Stan nodded. "He buys the best Christmas presents."

"Yeah. He's. . . ." Stan trailed off again. He looked around the room, at the notes and books and the laptop and the other bed, then back at Claudia, who didn't know who he was and hadn't seen Uncle Joshua and looked blank when he mentioned Gramps and didn't know how to access the Warehouse computer system.

". . . Oh."

The portal was through time. He'd messed with the timeline.

So many people were going to kill him.

"IIIII don't think I'm s'posed to tell you anything else."

Stan swallowed. Timelines were delicate things. His dad had told him that a million times. Even if it was the reason Dad was head of GD and he'd met Mom and Stan existed at all, he could end up changing everything and then Mr. Carter would be, like, married to Jo and Myka would be an assassin out to kill Mrs. Frederick and Vincent would never make him special chicken nuggets again.

He sat down on the floor and looked up at his mom with his biggest, most innocent look ever, the one that got even Mr. Carter to sigh and forgive him for whatever he'd just messed up.

Stan nodded. He mimed buttoning his lips.

The silence lasted all of, oh, five seconds.

"Do you have any cookies?"

"Banana nut. Good choice. Dad says you need more potassium."
