Time Trap: Wait. What???

Tom and Emma were shocked by what they had found buried deep within the historical files.
"How can that change everything?" Emma asked re-reading the historical text for a seventh time.
           "I don't actually know, we were involved in that one. How can something we were involved in make us not exist?" Tom questioned further.
           "Wait...what if history isn't changing in the way in which we thought it was?" Emma proposed.
           "Elaborate."
           "What if what changed is that we ended up dead instead of surviving that explosion?"
           "Except Maddi and Flavio weren't actually involved in that fight."
           "But there was collateral damage," Emma noted.
           "You think we took out the person who would develop our powers accidently? Well actually, do you think someone went back in time and altered it so we killed him?"
           "Or maybe he made a choice after that battle? Maybe watching us fight made him change his mind about creating us?"
           "No. We're looking at this wrong," Tom decided. "We're concentrating on what we know. But all we really know is what we were involved in."
           "So our current theory is that it has something to do with the scientist who created us. But now we are cross referencing everything that there was no Protector interference with?"
           "Yes. Hopefully that will give us an answer."

The two of them then sat down at there computers before beginning to check every event they remembered that had nothing to do with the Protectors but could also make or break the future against every event chronicled on the historical database they had managed to construct. "How far back do we go?" Emma asked.
           "The furthest back we could go would be a century back and a millenium forwards. And triple check that Zoombian invasion timetable," Tom explained as he began looking into a series of events in 1888, something that took him closer to finding someone who he did not want to find. And he knew that.
