**Ten years ago, Washington D.C.**
It had been almost 12 years since his own son had came from the future to try to find something that James couldn't really decipher yet. He didn't know about his son's condition until then, and some months ago James heard that Harry was almost homeless after he cut off his fond because of laziness.
His power hadn't manifested yet but he knew it would, James and others like him didn't particularly enjoyed specials, in fact they saw them as the reason as many of the problems in America. They gave power to people that wasn't supposed to have power, they got it without working for anything, it was a cheat to life in James' mind.
As he sat on the restaurant table, he saw the man that asked him to come entering. Eli Hatali, some wanna be politician that had worked for the government for decades and had recently stepped down from a position with the FBI.
"Mr. Mosley, I'm glad you've accepted to meet me" said Eli as he took the seat opposite to James in the expensive bar downtown D.C., where many politicians gathered to talk about the future of the nation surrounded by the most expensive things in life and other old influential people like them.
"I wanted to see what you had to tell me Mr. Hatali, what you told me over the phone, that's some serious piece of news" said James. "Countless others would laugh at what you told me and asked you to seek professional help, fortunately for you, I've had my own share of craziness happen during my lifetime"
Eli Hatali nodded and ordered a whiskey. Looking at James wondering what he would say next.
"So tell me Eli, mind if I call you that?" he asked politely. "Tell me, when does this apocalyptic future of yours happen?"
"I don't exactly know the date, but most of the civilized world was in ruins, there was no one around... No one I could see maybe, but the world seemed deserted..." said Eli. "All I could find where old pieces of paper among the ash and the snow... Evolution brought us the end... Apocalypse now... It wasn't global warming... Volcanic activity destroys Paris... London submerged... New York under 200 feet of snow..."
"That's all I could really find, but the pictures related to the articles, not even the worse expectations for climate change could do this, this was something more" said Eli. "I knew this had something to do with me, I have to somehow stop this"
"Dates?" asked James to Eli. "I need something more solid to work with..."
"Well, some of the papers dated of 2030, others 2028, others 2033, it was around that time..." said Eli to James. "But my vision could have been way later than that..."
"What I'm about to tell you..." said James. "Is not to be discussed with anyone..."
"Alright" said Eli a bit curious now.
"Twelve years ago, I received a very weird visit" said James to him. "If I must believe the stranger, he was my own kid, Harrison but many years into the future... Somehow he was able to travel back in time to try to find something... I don't know what, but he did mention your name, Senator Hatali... And he mentioned something about us being mass murderers and how he had to stop it, I don't remember everything correctly but he did mention that he had seen the future and a lot of people like him were dead"
"Senator?" asked Hatali. "If the future your son saw... Was a future already affected by this meeting..." kept on Hatali, trying hard to comprehend what this information meant. "This future where a lot of people like him were dead, that means that there's at least people left alive..."
"You mean..." said James as he started to connect the dots.
"We do something, we are able to stop this outcome..." said Hatali. "A future with a few thousands dead is better than a future with no humanity left"
"We're going to need to turn you into a Senator first..." said James to him.
"And we're going to need some really advanced biological weaponry if we are to terminate an entire species..." said Hatali.
"Well, I have the money and the connections to get into politics and develop such weapons" said James.
"And I have the knowledge about weaponry and about specials needed to create the solution" said Eli to James.
"Looks like you found yourself a deal then... Senator..." said James to Eli.
