What happens when a brilliant scientist, a stubborn genius, and an ordinary Y/N end up trapped in a laboratory full of impossible inventions? Doctor Tempus has spent decades studying the secrets of time, while his young protégé Hunter is determined to finally build the impossible: a working time machine. But when Y/N becomes part of their strange little family, Hunter's carefully controlled life quickly falls apart. Between dangerous experiments, sarcastic arguments, bizarre inventions, and a slightly insane old scientist who treats them both like his children, life in Tempus' laboratory is anything but normal. But when Hunter's research finally succeeds, they discover that traveling through time comes with consequences no equation could predict. The past can be changed. The future can be broken. And sometimes, the most dangerous variable isn't the machine... It's the people standing beside you.
