Strange Child in a Strange Place Part 13
Disclaimer: I don’t own the characters. If I did, the story would have been very different.
Characters: William the 3rd, Bootstrap, crew of the Dutchman, Will, Elizabeth, Davy Jones.
Rating: PG
Summary: Bootstrap Bill Turner did not expect to have to deal with his grandson. Bootstrap also didn’t think he could have a six year old grandson when his son (who he hadn’t seen in nearly five years) was only sixteen!
Author’s Note: A little bit more with what the time travel did to the characters, and then we go back to the future. (No, Doc Brown is not coming along)

61. Death
“You will not forestall my judgment!” Davy lifted the sword, but before he could kill Bootstrap, he felt it. Pain, worse then he’d ever felt before. He turned, to see that Jack Sparrow had made Will Turner stab the heart.
And suddenly, he understood. The events of eight years ago made sense now. William was the son of the Captain of the Flying Dutchman. That was why he could survive underwater.
Will Turner’s potential would now become the power Davy had felt.
And Davy didn’t care any more. There was only one thing- one person- he cared about now. “Calypso…”
62. Return
Once again, a wave swamped the Dutchman. Bootstrap knocked water out of his eyes, and looked up hopefully. Will stood there, holding William. They were both soaking wet, but unharmed. “WILLIAM!” Elizabeth yelled from the Empress. Almost immediately, Will transported them both to the Empress.
Bootstrap followed, and watched as William and Elizabeth reunited.
Bootstrap smiled softly. The scene was similar to the one he’d witnessed nearly fifteen years ago.
This time, though, there was nothing bittersweet about it in his mind. His son was coming back, and wouldn’t be leaving.
And now they just had to deal with Ishkur.
63. Home and Hope
William wasn’t sure he liked being squashed between his parents at all, but it was so nice to see Mum again that he didn’t care.
But something was important. “MUM! I can’t breath!”
Laughing, Da and Mum let him go.
“Are you alright, William?” Mum asked as she knelt down in front of him.
“I’m fine, Mum. Granddad took care of me.”
Mum looked up at Granddad. “Thank you, Bill.”
Granddad laughed. “Th’ was fifteen or so years ago now, Elizabeth,” he said. “And… it gave me hope at a time when I had little hope.” He smiled at Da.
64. Realizations
Elizabeth smiled at her father-in-law as he told her everything that had happened in the nearly two days William had been on the Dutchman under Jones.
“You know, Will, it’s a good thing this happened,” Bootstrap finished.
Will turned to look at him. “What do you mean?” Elizabeth wanted to ask the same question.
“I wouldn’t ha’ recognized ye if ye hadn’t gone to fetch William,” Bill said. “Things could have gone very poorly- worse then they did- if I hadn’t recognized ye.”
Will nodded. “So, in effect, Ishkur did us a favor.”
Bootstrap laughed. “But don’t tell him that!”
65. Ceremony
“Is everyone ready?” Elizabeth asked, looking at the strange collection of pirates (including herself). Three of them were immortal, one was six, one was a woman, two of them were bickering like children, and the last was her first mate.
She finally rolled her eyes and turned to the goddess next to her. “I suppose that was a yes.”
Calypso smiled at her. “Aye, Pirate King. ‘Tis time. And it will be easier, since you have my power behind this.” The sea goddess took the nine small stones and held them up. She began to chant in a strange language.
