[ WP ] The main character is destined to save the world from evil , but he 's the most boring person you can imagine

`` He is the one chosen to save us.'' Taylor gestured to the man standing on the subway platform. 
 
 `` Him?'' Kevin asked his mentor. 
 
 `` Yes, he is the butterfly whose wings shall change the course of history''. 
 
 `` But he's so...'' Kevin analyzed the mans clothing and posture. 
 
 `` He is chosen'' 
 
 The man they observed is called Bob, and he he was waiting to board the E train. Bob was on his way to his job as an accountant, and was on time for work for the 500th consecutive day. 
 
 Kevin and Taylor watched him as he went through his Monday routine. After work he stopped for a hot dog, and then went back to his apartment. He then left his apartment and went to the gym and attended a kick boxing class. He returned home, sat down and heated his dinner, chicken and asparagus that had been prepared the day before. 
 
 At 6:59:30 PM eastern standard time, Kevin and Taylor knocked on his door. Bob was wearing white pajamas with blue stripes. 
 
 `` Bob Smith, my name is Taylor. I have been sent from the future to guide you on a journey to save the world. Please tune your television to channel seven and I will give you today's winning lottery numbers. 
 
 Intrigued, Bon obliged and watched in awe as Taylor and Kevin predicted the lottery numbers, and the exact outcome of the third inning of the Yankees game. 
 
 `` Ok, I believe you are from the future.'' Bob inspected the time travelers as he spoke. 
 
 `` Are you sure?'' Kevin had memorized hundreds of facts to sway the chosen one. 
 
 `` Yes'' Bob looked at his watch. He would have to be in bed soon to wake up on time. `` What now?'' 
 
 Kevin and Taylor exchanged glances, chosen ones took days or sometimes years to convince. None had accepted their fate the first day, let alone the first hour. 
 
 
 Taylor spoke first, `` Do n't you want to know why you were chosen?'' 
 
 Bob shook his head. `` I think I'd rather understand the threat first.'' 
 
 `` 45 years from now the President of the United States will seize complete control of the government and begin a reign of martial law and genocide. 6 billion people have died under his rule and- 
 
 Bob interrupted Taylor, `` Am I related to him?'' 
 
 `` Yes, he is your son. We'd like you to return with us to our future to lead the resistance against him.'' 
 
 `` Could you now tell me why I was chosen?'' 
 
 `` Your son developed a formula that enhanced his body and mind, he is now the perfect human specimen.'' 
 
 `` Except he's a genocidal tyrant.'' 
 
 `` Well his mind and body are perfect.'' 
 
 `` Ca n't you travel back in time before he takes the serum?'' 
 
 
 `` He's injected the serum into your bloodline, we do not know when, but from the moment he is conceived he is unstoppable.'' 
 
 `` So why ask me to fight him, why not kill me?'' 
 
 Kevin and Taylor exchanged another uncomfortable glance. `` We have tried that, but your murder creates a catastrophic butterfly effect. Sorry about that.'' 
 
 `` Can I just get a vasectomy?'' Bob asked. 
 
 `` We have n't tried that but if history prove-'' 
 
 Bob interrupted Taylor again. `` Let's try it, I'll make an appointment and we can see if it works.'' 
 
 `` I must insist.'' Taylors voice hardened. `` We need you to come back with us. This is the only way'' 
 
 `` Not really, I mean this is an option you have n't considered.'' 
 
 `` It's been considered''. 
 
 `` And?'' 
 
 `` It is unethical.'' 
 
 `` Billions of people dying is n't too ethical.'' 
 
 `` Our leaders have-'' 
 
 `` I'm going to get a vasectomy.'' 
 
 `` Do n't you want kids? 
 
 `` Not genocidal ones'' 
 
 `` But your son is going to be a great scientist first! He's going to cure cancer before he -'' 
 
 `` Cancer does n't kill billions, well it does but sounds like my kid is worse than cancer'' 
 
 `` Well...'' 
 
 Bob rose and opened the door. `` I'm going to make an appointment for a vasectomy, and then get it. Go back to your future and if it does n't work we can try your plan'' 
 
 Unable to sway Bob's mind, Kevin and Taylor left his apartment. 
 
 `` What now?'' Kevin asked. 
 
 `` Now we return to our future and bring back evidence that his plan failed.....'' 
 
 45 years later - 
 
 `` Oh.'' Kevin looked at Taylor, `` I guess it worked''.
