1. Like Son, Like Father by Kath [ - ] (2764 words)
It's pretty bad when you have to explain your story, but I feel the need to mention that I have not seen T2, and therefore I recognize that events of that film might completely blow this scene from possibility. When I saw Terminator, I was struck by the idea that John Connor knew who Kyle was without Kyle fully realizing his own importance. I also found it intriguing that John would have been more of a father figure to Kyle, rather than the other way around, given their age difference.

It is my belief that Connor sent Kyle back knowing full well Kyle was to be his father because of what Sarah had told him. (I also think that if the bad guys hadn't sent a terminator back forcing the rebels to send a protector, then their goal of having John not exist would have been realized - ironic, in a way.) I spent many a late evening debating these points with a friend. ;-) If the second movie shatters these ideas, my apologies and I hope you can enjoy the story anyway. I originally thought to do a series of scenes like this one, from both their points of view, but this was the only one to come out.
