Temporal Anomaly

“So John Freeman. The brother of Gordon Freeman.”

“Yeah, I know that,” Percy said disinterestedly. “I thought you had something knew.”

“Yes, well… Do either of you know how you know that? Or who Gordon Freeman actually is?” That was met by a pause, and then a shake of the heads from both teenagers. “Exactly!” the Doctor exclaimed as he jabbed his screwdriver into the air. “We just seem to know these things about him, and yet we’ve never spoken to him. How? Well…” he paused for dramatic effect, “that man is a temporal anomaly!”
“A… temporary anemone?” Ruby said as she looked up from her scythe in confusion.

“I get that anemones don’t have the longest lifespan, but I’m pretty sure that guy isn’t one,” Percy added.

“No,” the Doctor said as he held up his hand. “A temporal anomaly. Essentially, that man is an error in time itself. Whether he’s an anomaly that took the form of a man or a man who harnessed the power of an anomaly, I can’t say. But that man can influence the universe, and even the minds of all those around him. Simply by existing!”

The Doctor was met with another look of confusion from Percy. “What do you mean?” the boy asked.

The Doctor merely smiled. “Just say his first name.”

“John Freeman,” Percy said. He then paused, realizing what had just happened. “John Freeman! John Freman!! Joh Freema!” He grou mor and mor annoyad as he codn’t say John Freeman’s first name.
