The Fashionable Blacksmith

“Good” Greyman smiled, albeit somewhat coldly “Your course of action is thus: In the first instance you need to change history. Big time. Brittany wants you dead and the more paradoxes you can create to conceal you, the better; they’ll both protect you and will, at the same time, bring her within reach of an assassination attempt.
“Now, I have no idea how you are going to kill her or when, but kill her you must and save the universe from this madness.
“To this end, I have provided you with equipment and supplies. Mr Chrysler has a time drive –”

“Heads up” Jamie yelled, pointing out at a brilliantly bright, white spot that was quickly forming on the surface of the neutron star “I think we’ve got trouble”

“Time to go” Jay activated the time drive, spinning up time gates beneath everyone’s feet “Emergency evac”

Evelina felt like she was turned inside out then back right side in a few seconds. For a while her vision was distorted as her body trembled like it was experiencing a seismic tremor in her organs. As she fought the urge to throw up and maintain her balance she felt her hands getting hot. As her vision slowly came into focus she realized she was standing in front of a very hot forge and holding a set of tongs and a hot poker in the fire. She quickly pulled out the tools and set them down on the stone table nearby hoping to not start a fire. As she looked around to see where she was she saw an older somewhat well dressed man covered in some soot hammering out some brass tubing. He looked like one of those crazy mad scientists from the movies in blacksmith clothing. His hair was snow white and wild like he had been shocked by static recently. He suddenly stopped as he came to look at her eyes and then her face before checking her temperature with his hands.

He looked at her and said, "Hmmmmm? Damn!” the old man said, in a curious tone. She recognized his bad American English slang from the old 1980s movies she watched in the past, but the scene was way off.

He said, "Great Scott! Looks like you have been in the heat to long. Better get some air and water alright."

Trying to play it off she looked at him and said, "Umm alright."

After getting her some water and a small wet towel he said, "Take it easy ok?"

She nodded as she left the blacksmith building and headed outside. As she looked around she saw she was in a western town like the ones in the movies she liked to watch. However the town was crappy looking and dusty. As she walked around she hoped to find the others Dwarfers as she looked into the windows of the nearby buildings. After having no luck she saw her reflection in one of the cleaner the windows and realized she looked like a well dressed blacksmith.

She smirked as she said, "Great now I'm a Blacksmith. (sigh) Maybe I might find the others in the Saloon?"
