Summary
“He’s your responsibility now,” Clockwork tells him, and the boy in front of him opens angry, blood-red eyes. “With the mending this timestream needs, I will not be able to help again if something goes wrong.”
Don’t mess this up, that’s what the master of time means, and Vlad tries to silence the screaming at the back of his mind long enough to listen.
Don’t mess this up.
He can do that, can’t he?
(Now with a bonus chapter.)

Bookmark Notes:
“Do you still—!”
“No, I don't,” Vlad all but screams at him, and he’s closer now, less than ten yards away, and he fires another blast that the boy doesn’t manage to dodge or deflect. He hardly notices. His vision has gone entirely red. If he needed to breathe, Vlad thinks he wouldn’t have enough air left in him to scream like this. His lungs ache. His throat aches. Everything aches. “I don’t! Is that what you want to hear? I don’t want to kill him, I don’t even want him dead, and I’m fairly certain I never wanted it in the first place—!”
“Then what do you do?”
The boy’s struggling to push himself up, legs shaking, but he manages it. He’s hugging his ribs with one arm, and he turns blazing red eyes on Vlad.
“What do you— what do you do with that?” he asks, and it takes a delayed second or two for Vlad to recognize that nearly all of the anger has drained away from the child’s face. He looks terrified, and unsteady on his feet, and very, very small. An arc of electricity snaps from his body, curving along the ground, but he doesn’t seem to notice it.
