Omneity | Johnny Depp [Complete]

Transcendence

Me: Hey, I was wondering if I could come and visit you today.

Victor: That would be amazing, Clover! I haven't seen you in what feels like forever. What time did you have in mind?

Me: Probably around one o'clock. Is that okay with you?

Victor: Yeah, that's perfect. I can't wait to see my favorite niece! <3

Me: Aww. <3 Great, I'll see you then.

I went into my room and put a few things in my backpack; the same backpack I used to get away from Derek. Oliver locked up the apartment behind us before we got into his car and left. "Wait, why do you wanna go to some abandoned house?" Oliver asked me curiously with furrowed brows. His green eyes were full of concern and worry. "It's something I'm working on. Don't worry about it." I said as I opened the car door and stepped out onto the sidewalk. "Okay, I'm trusting you on this, Clover. But if anything bad happens or whatever, just call or text me." He said, and I agreed. I shut the passenger door and we said our goodbyes before he headed to work. I stood there and watched him disappear down the street before I walked into the abandoned house. The same house where I met Will... we're Will saved me from my insane ex boyfriend. I pressed my thoughts to the back of my mind as I walked through the front door. The placed looked as if someone just got up and left. Things you would have packed still remained; they were dusty and covered in thick cobwebs. After I looked around a bit, I headed out to the back yard. Memories of the other day started flooding back to me, and it was a little overwhelming. 'Come on, Clover. Focus! You came here for a reason, don't get sidetracked.' I said inside of my head. When I reached the bright yellow sunflowers, I crouched and keeled down on one knee. I slipped my backpack off and sat it down on the ground in front of me. Then I unzipped one of the small pockets to retrieve a small vial. I had purchased a bunch of vials for a Halloween craft, but they had a different purpose I guess. After I uncorked the vial, I collected some of the rainwater that had collected in the same puddle I plunged my hand into the other day. Once I got a good amount I put the cork back in and gently placed it into a Ziploc sandwich bag. I didn't wanna risk the glass breaking and getting everything wet. I labeled the bag as sunflower water. Then I filled another vial with rainwater from another part of the yard; I bagged and labeled it as well and so on. By the time I was finished, I had a total of four water samples. I checked the time and figured I should text one of my friends and ask if they could give me a ride to the college.

Me: Hey, could you give me a ride to the college?

Jessica: Sure, where are you?

Me: Just meet me at Freddy's Diner.

Jessica: Okay, see you in a little while. :)

Me: See ya. :)

I was halfway to the diner anyway, and I didn't want her to pick me up at some abandoned house. Jessica isn't like Oliver; she would have asked five billion questions, and none of them I could answer. When I reached the diner I sat down on a bench that was sitting near the main entrance. I didn't wanna go inside and have the morning customers staring at me. While I was waiting I pulled out the current book I was reading. I figured I could finish it in the time I was waiting on Jessica to come and get me. As soon as she pulled into the parking lot I read the last word in the last chapter. I felt pretty proud of myself for being able to finish the book, especially since I've been reading it for about three months. In my defense, it was a pretty thick book. I got up off of the bench and walked up to her maroon colored Subaru outback. "Hey girly, come on in. The door is unlocked." She said with a smile on her face. I smiled and laughed a little as I opened the passenger side door. Her auburn hair seemed to glow in the golden sunlight; it made her look more beautiful than she already was. "So, how has my favorite person in the who world been?" She asked me curiously as she pulled out of the parking lot. "I've been great, actually. I broke up with Derek by the way." I replied, and she beamed. "That's wonderful!! Derek was a horrible person anyway. Do you have a place to stay?" She said as we headed towards the college. "Yeah, I've been staying with Oliver these past couple of days." I replied with a smile. We made small talk during the entire ride, and it was good to talk to her, especially since we haven't really talked in a while. She's always really busy with her three jobs. Sometimes I hardly know how she manages to live and work that much, but I guess she has a routine down. I certainly know that I wouldn't be able to do that. When we reached the college we said our goodbyes and I made a mental note to a arrange a little hangout with all of my friends. At least we'd be able to actually have some kind of gathering now that Derek was out of the picture. I pressed my thoughts to the back of my mind as I walked through the front doors of the college. The good thing about college, is that no one questions your presence. As long as you blend in you're fine, and I definitely fit the part. Especially since I went here for two years before I dropped out. I went straight to the library and looked through the science section. I probably could have went to the local library, but I knew that the college would have more books that we're written by local scientists and professors. I picked out a couple books on artificial intelligence and walked over to a computer. I spent a few hours just reading books and online articles about A.I. But when I searched for Dr. Will Caster, nothing showed up about the incident of twenty fourteen. It was like someone erased the whole thing from all records, and maybe that was a good thing. If no one remembered it, then maybe he could get by with existing in a world that thinks he's deceased. I pored over more text until my stomach interrupted my train of thought. It growled loudly, and I flushed in embarrassment. I desperately hoped that nobody heard my stomach's screams for food. I closed up the books I was reading and then logged out of the computer. Once I put all of the books back I walked out of the library and went to the cafeteria. I ordered some food and paid for it. As I waited on my number to be called, I wondered what Will was up to. Deep down I felt bad for leaving him home alone, but I didn't want him to know what I was doing. 'He probably already knows, Clover. He was once the smartest thing on earth.' I said inside of my head. My number was called, and it took me out of my thoughts. As soon as I got my food, I started digging in. That toast I had for breakfast just didn't last. When I finished eating, I checked the time and figured I should start heading to my uncle Victor's office. He's a highly admired and intelligent science teacher here, and I was grateful that I had some scientists gens in my blood. I walked up to his office door a few minutes later and knocked on it. "Come in." I heard his voice say on the other side of the door. I grabbed the doorknob and opened it to find him sitting at his desk. "Hey, there you are. Right on time like always. Have a seat." He said with a smile on his face. I actually had a couple of his classes during the time I was enrolled as a student. His gray eyes sparkled with delight, and it made me smile. I took a seat and knew we'd have to go through the motions of small talk before it got down to why I was really here. I didn't mind though. We talked about life and what we were both up to recently. "Did you have lunch yet?" He asked me curiously. "Yeah, I did. Thanks." I replied and he smiled. "So, what are you really here for? I know you didn't just come to talk." He said after a moment of silence. "I need to use your science lab," I replied with a sigh. "But I did enjoy talking to you." I said. He furrowed his brows before he stood up and lead me to the science lab he always uses. "A class will be coming in at two thirty, so make sure everything is cleaned before that time." He said as he unlocked the door. I promised that I'd have everything cleaned and put away before the class came in to use the lab. He helped me set up a microscope and get the tools I asked him for. "What are you up to anyway?" He asked curiously. I retrieved the water samples from my backpack and he seemed impressed slightly. "It's just a little side project I'm working on." I replied. He told me if I needed any help to just send him a text message, and I said I would. Once he left the room I got started with my work. All of the samples seemed normal... all of them except for one. The sample that was differed was the one I collected by the sunflowers. The molecular structure was different from the rest, and it seemed as if it was multiplying as I was looking at it. "It's like it's human." I whispered softly under my breath. One thing seemed to bother me after Will told me his past was, how was he able to come back? If all that was left of him was focused into those sunflowers and the water surrounding them... how could he become a solid functioning human being? There must have been some kind of charge that made it possible, but how? An image popped up in my head, and it looked like a movie being shown through a projector. It was of my hand plunging into that puddle and the icy cold feeling that followed. That's when it hit me, and it hit like a brick wall. 'He used my DNA to come back.' I said inside of my head. The hair on the back of my neck stood up and a chill ran down my spine. 'Does that mean that I'm part of him? Or maybe he's part of me? Or... both?' I thought inside of my head. My brain was going a million miles a minute. I had so many questions floating around in my head I thought it was gonna explode. Someone has to know something about this sort of stuff, but I wasn't sure who to ask. A.I. isn't my uncle's field. I had no other option.... I had to ask Will and hope he wouldn't get upset with me. 'God help me.' I thought inside of my head as I began cleaning up.
