'The morality of Time travel.'

When Aiden sat down in his room after the long day, he had a lot of thoughts in his mind but this was the one which topped them.

His talk with Sean was less on his story and more on what he wanted to do. In the end, he had decided to write a script. It was anyway something that came under his writing skill.

[Script writing - Level 5.]

That was the level of his script writing skill. He had actually gotten it when he had tried to modify the [Hex] scripts and back then, he had just not focused a lot on it.

Compared to his overall writing skill and novel writing skill, it wasn't that impressive.

Maybe it was because he hadn't done a complete script before. Moreover, script writing was kind of different from novel writing.

There could be more exposition parts in a novel to better explain the world but a lot was left to the viewers in script. It was more tight and dialogues were what it primarily focused on alongside the descriptions of characters and their actions.

Aiden didn't know how good he would be at writing a script and although he was trying to be optimistic, he was at least happy he had a nice topic to ponder upon in his mind.

'Time travel, the moral nature of it and whether a saviour was really a saviour to everyone.'

Those were the topics that he had picked on after focusing on time travel movies in the past few days.

These things were mostly ignored or pushed as just subtle things in the scenario most of the time. Time travel movies started from something as a fun gimmick catered to teens and young adults as it basically talked more about the fantasy of humans wanting to change things in the past and see the future.

Then, it has taken a more serious form as it has evolved. With a lot of time travel movies focusing more on the bad effects of time travel.

In one of them, Aiden recalled that the main character had died a very horrifying death by killing himself as a baby so he wouldn't have to go through time travel again.

Though by the mid 2000s, the concept was diluted and used so much that every other movie would have it in some form or kind.

If Aiden said that he was writing a time travel story now, no one was going to think that it was going to be anything better than what they have already seen before.

Though, he was very happy to prove them wrong.

'I need to make my protagonist someone who anyone could relate to...'

Aiden thought in his mind as he started typing out the main premise and characters on his laptop.

The main character was a supporting protagonist at first. Someone who was just a minor character but when he saw someone change the whole world by time travel, he decided to act.

He didn't want to name his characters as he wanted everyone to relate to them. Moreover for this story, names sounded boring.It was then that an idea struck his mind.

'How about just naming characters based on their roles?'

He thought and typed out 'Protagonist.'

He looked at it for a moment before typing out a few more words.

'Female lead', 'Minor villain 1', 'Minor Villain 2', 'Villain', 'Crazy Bastard'. He felt like those were appropriate names for his characters.

Kind of like just their titles.action

It suited the vibe of the story a lot and he felt like it was more creative like this.

In the end, only one character was left. The true protagonist - The person whose perspective the story was going to follow.

'Extra.'

The supporting protagonist.

That was the best title for him. For some reason, Aiden felt the same feeling he had felt when he was writing his first novel.

Even back then, his main protagonist was an extra background actor based on Harley.

Though this time, the stakes and the world were completely different. He quickly wrote down the basic story and a few scenes that would happen in the beginning of the story.

Basically, the world would be the same until the 'Protagonist' would go back to the past to the second world war and change the world for his own personal benefits.

This would make the world very different from what we know now. Very different things would come up and due to the change in space time, reality would distort to become something out of a fairy tale.

Humans would discover robots by the 1960s and the USSR would lead the robot revolution with the United States of America becoming extremely weak and becoming a closed state.

Although the Protagonist would become one of the most powerful people in the world, Extra would lose everything. In an effort to change the world to normal, he would make an effort to travel through time.

That was the basic premise of his story.

'It would be hard to write it but very interesting too.'

He thought in his mind and started typing.

***As Aiden was working on his new story and taking classes from Sean, his team was busy working hard. They were secretly collaborating with Hollywood Weekly to write an exclusive expose story on Franco Li.

It was part of Aiden's plan to completely get over the juggernaut that was Franco when he was down with all the criticism from media and the industry.

At midnight, Wade and Tom had just gotten a lead on Franco's dark past and finding such information about him, they were pretty shocked.

"I can't believe Aiden was right. We really got something by just looking at one of the past movies Franco had associated himself with."

Wade said as he read the report in front of him. It was a report from a production house that had already gotten bankrupt. The report was written by an employee and they had gotten it somehow when they were searching around.

"He was always shady, so it's not out of nowhere but he really forced an actor by making him sign wrong documents."

Tom said as he shook his head.

"It's weird there was no court case though."

"We need to look more into it but he probably found some kind of dirt on the actor and was blackmailing. He probably has a lot of dirt on a lot of people."

Wade replied, stretching his body. He had been working on this for over a month now and until now, they have found a lot on Franco Li and were only waiting for an opportunity to destroy him for good.

"Someone like him works on it. He's one of those people who understood how Hollywood worked a long time now and embraced it in a heartbeat. I really wonder what it was in high school."

Tom said and Wade just smiled.

"I don't want to know after what we have found out about him. I would be getting shivers if he was still the same in teenage. Kids these days are really scary."

When Tom heard that, he barely stopped himself from coughing out loud. It was because he had known scarier teenagers in his life.

His sister was one of them and she would even make him feel scared for his life while living in the same house.

Once, her boyfriend had cheated on her. The next day, he didn't know what had happened but he had come to their house and begged for her forgiveness. Obviously, he hadn't gotten any.

"Anyway, what is Aiden doing?" Tom asked, changing the topic. "The buzz in the market about him is already going down."

"He's enjoying his break and taking classes in a college to learn more about acting as you know. Though, the timing of it is one of the worst. But we can't do anything. He had been through a lot."

With the buzz around him, Wade would have liked it if he had taken on more projects and had done 3-4 in the next 6 months even if all of them weren't lead roles in big movies.

That would have helped him get more and more experience.

After all, he had barely done 10 movies in his career until now.

One of the other A-listers recently had been doing it, doing 3-4 projects in the span of 6-8 months and taking the year off after that.

It was a great way to be a part of more unique projects after one hit one. Aiden hadn't done the same and although it was a cause of concern, Wade knew that he would pull through.

"Yeah, anyway, he kept getting ways to make himself more and more popular. So, I doubt we need to worry about it."

Tom said, leaning against his seat and smiling.

"That won't always be the case. Luck can only get you so far."

"I don't think it's luck." Tom shook his head. "If he's doing it again and again, then it's not luck. It's a skill."
