Synergy leaps us to Moscow Kremlin Complex, July 16, 1945. The Big 3 leaders of the world, at the time were  General Secretary Stalin (Russia), President Truman (United States) and  Prime Minister Attlee (United Kingdom).  Tomorrow they are meeting tomorrow, at Potsdam, Germany,  to discuss the surrender of Germany (Potsdam Agreement) and the alliance against Japan (Potsdam Declaration).  Russia at this point is not at war with the nation. The entire Potsdam Conference would last July 17 to August 2, 1945 at the of Cecilienhof, the home of Crown Prince Wilhelm Hohenzollern, in Potsdam, occupied Germany.

16: "Ready?" he ask as he steps closer to me.

16 is a mutant; he is agile, skilled martial artists, quick healer, and teleporter. Due to his quick healing ability and regenerative ability it is hard to tell his age.  Rumors around MeO is that he is a direct descendent from a soldier in Alexander the Great's army.   According to Livius, Alexander intentionally left behind thousands of soldiers to integrate with the people in various land, including India. The mother of 16 was from the Punjab region of Asia, she served in the royal court. It is uncertain whether 16 was the child or grandchild of the two. 


Me: "Yes...you know I can't sense Dr. Scoliosm right?

Dr. Scoliosim is has telepathic ability (among others) that make it hard to read his thoughts. If I even try to sense his location, he is going to feel it. We must do a sneak attack; I know what you are thinking, "just go back in time and change things". Unfortunately, that is not a option. Messing with the fabric of time is tricky, too many leaps in a  period can unravel the entire thread of time and possible erase our very existence.

16: "Stalin?"

Me: "Yes...Well sort of.  Doc. must be with him, I sense an interference."

I hold tight to 16....as he leaps us from room to room. As quick as he moves, I can't but be amazed at the gold decorations and the detailed tapestry.  


After three rooms, we leap to this room with two men in it.  Behind them were two gold plated doors with burgundy accents.  As we step forward, I immediately could tell that Stalin was stun. As I look to the right, I could noticed that it wasn't Dr. Scoliosim; it was Kata.  He serves as Dr. Scoliosim's right hand.

Kata: "Ra'let?"

16: "Shit!"

Stalin: "What the hell (in Russian)."  He faces goes red, as he reach behind him to find a soft place to land. I rush to him as 16 and Kata battle it out. Both as skilled martial artists and move at lightening speed. The hands and feet moves through the air in a type intricate dance. Their swift moves are choreographed to the sounds of thuds, slaps, and clashing of dishes and furniture against the wall.  16 must have gotten the best of Kata, because Kata vanished in a puff of red smoke.

Suddenly, Stalin let out a scream that can only be described as painful. He tried to grab his chest but his arm couldn't move...maybe he is having a stroke..a heart attack..? God, was this part of the timeline or did we just change something? As I looked over his body, I noticed a small punctured wound in his neck. There was still fresh, red blood running down his neck.  It must have been a big needle; maybe Kata injected him with something.  Other than poison there is no reason to inject someone in the neck...I ripped a piece of material from my clothing and took a sample of the blood.

Before I could fold the material...the door knob turned. His yell must have alerted the guards outside the door. Just as one of the men step into the room, 16 took hold of me and leaped us back into the plane.
