You ever get that feeling, where you wake up from a nap but you're still tired, so you try to go back to sleep but just can't. That's what I was feeling. I was also feeling very concerned, considering when I went to sleep, I went to sleep on a bed in my house. I, however, woke up outside in what seemed to be a park.
"Where the fuck am I?" I muttered to myself. I slowly stood up, using the tree that was behind me for support. Taking a look at my surroundings, I could tell that it was morning and that I didn't recognise this park at all.
"Hello?" I called out, removing my arm from the tree and taking a step forward. A voice answered me to my right sounding close. To close
"Hello their"
"JESUS!" Jumping to the left, almost tripping over myself. I turned and saw… me? Dressed in a plain white shirt and white knee length shorts, messy brown hair that needed a hair cut badly, and blue eyes. We were the same height to, just at 5'10.
"No, just me. Or should I say you." The 'me' tilted his head to the side, face deep in thought. "I'm not quite sure what it is when you meet a parallel version of yourself."
I must have heard him wrong. Either that or I'm hallucinating.
"Parallel what?" I asked, sounding so confused. The 'me' just smiled a bit and shook his head with amusement. Before he turned around and started walking away.
"Hey! Where are you going?!" I yelled out to him. He stopped to turn his head to me and answered "for a walk. You're welcome to join me." I started walking after him but kept some distance between us, just in case he suddenly turned around and tried to do something to me. After some walking the other me came to a stop at a clearing in the trees. Slowly coming up beside him I looked out and what I saw was beautiful.
A spacious clear area of grass with large trees surrounding the area, With the one tree at the back being the largest. It wasn't as tall as say a skyscraper but it was at least half the size. Maybe a bit taller. The was a small lake with crystal clear water sparkling, as the sun's rays hit it.
"What… is this place" I said softly. The view was that beautiful, so attention grabbing that I almost missed his reply.
"This is… well I guess its what some would call their very own Utopia." The other me said looking at the area with a fondness in his eyes.
"Utopia?" I said hesitantly, taking my eyes off the view. The other me nodded.
"Yes, Utopia. Who's, I'm sure you can figure out. Eventually."
Slowly nodding my head, I turned to look at the clearing before something came to mind.
"You never answered my question by the way." I told him. He looked at me from the corner of his eye, amused.
"I'm sure you can figure it out, given how I look exactly like you."
"Your… me?" I said hesitantly.
"Yep! Or to be more accurate, you're me." He said, turning to face me, as I did the same. It really was like looking into a mirror.
"What do you mean I'm you? I'm me." I said looking him dead in the eyes. His face stayed amused and his grin got bigger.
"Yes, you are you, and I am me. However, you are also me I am also you. Do you get it?" He asked. I shook my head and he sighed and mirrored my action of shaking my head.
"Ok so I'm what you would call a Prime, not to be mistaken for something from Transformers, and before you ask, I gave myself that name. Basically, you're a version of me that is mostly the same but has some differences." He explained while doing a gesture between me and him.
"Okay" I said slowly, looking doubtful. He noticed my look because his face fell in a pout.
"You don't believe me do you" He asked. I shook my head, and his pout increased which I found weird on my face, because I never pouted. At all.
The other me opened his mouth again
"You know what Fate/Stay night is, yeah" he asked. I nodded, wondering why he needed to know that. He gave off a pleased hum. Other me opened his mouth, then snapped it close as he looked out towards the clearing before looking back at me.
"Okay I've probably taken too long as it is, so here take this" quicker than I could perceive the movement he placed his hand onto my chest and the next thing I felt was pain. Spreading from my chest to the rest of my body, I fell to my knees and then curled inwards, hoping that something would take the pain away. No such luck as my eyes grew heavy and I felt them closing. I heard the last bit of his words.
"Good luck kid. You might want to pick a Name for yourself though once you get started. Can't have people figuring out your name, even though it won't really help."
Before it all went dark I heard one final sentence, that confused the hell out of me.
Servant Assassin. I ask of you, are you my Master?
0 – 0 – 0 – 0 – 0 – 0 – 0 – 0 – 0 – 0 – 0 – 0 – 0 – 0 – 0 – 0 – 0 -0
My eyes snapped open, a cough erupting from my mouth as I turned over, and slowly drew myself up to my knees before using the wall next to me support.
"Ok. Not in pain anymore. That helps." I slowly stood on my two feet, before noticing I had an extra piece of clothing on me besides my white shirt and shorts.
'is this a cloak?' I thought to myself as I gently ran my unused hand over the cloak. It was black and covered my entire frame, complete with a hoody draped over my head. I took my hand off the wall, before noticing that my right arm had black wrappings on it. Slowly prodding the wrappings gently, I didn't feel any pain, before I finally noticed a feeling of something on my face. I reached up and took hold of what felt like some sort of mask before removing it from my face to get a better look at it. It was white in colour, only big enough to cover the front of my face.
'I swear I've seen this get up before. But where?' I wondered. It was very familiar. Maybe from a show or a game?
Dropping my arms to my side, I looked around and found a dumpster just behind me and the only exit, from what I could only assume was a dead-end ally way, was right in front of me.
Slowly walking forward, I exited the alley way and took a left trying to figure just where the hell I was.
'this doesn't look like any place I've been to before' I thought. I came to a stop at a crossing, noticing how people where giving me strange looks. It was probably the cloak but having people stare at me caused me to hunch over a bit and look straight down. As soon as the lights hit green I quickly walked across the road and saw a sign that made my stomach drop.
Welcome to Happy Harbour: Business District
Happy Harbour. I only really know of it from watching Young Justice and I didn't really get a chance to watch all that much of it honestly. Real life kind of got in the way of that.
Continuing my walk, I passed by a several T. Vs, behind a glass window, all showing news reports of some kind. Some about the weather and something about a crime spree happening in this very city. There was one T.V that grabbed my attention with its headline
"Justice League defeat Wotan"
I don't know how long I stared at the tv, even when it played parts of the battle. I saw the founding members of the Justice League and more members of the league from the comics fight Wotan, and ended up defeating him, and then handing him over to the police to be put away. I looked at another tv.
"In other news, the fire from the Cadmus building was- "I didn't stay to hear the rest of the sentence as I stumbled away from the window. I kept walking for a bit before slipping into an ally. I leaned against the wall before sliding down to sit, drawing my knees up to my chest as I took several breaths in and out. The sun was starting to go down.
"Just breath, its alright. You're probably in some really weird dream. Yeah, that's got to be it. Its just a dream." I repeated those words multiple times to calm myself. I quickly slipped my hands under my cloak, and into my pockets to try and find my wallet. A quick search brought up nothing and some panic started to fester before a thought came to mind.
'That alley I woke up in. maybe its there?' I questioned to myself before shooting up and I proceeded to back trace my steps to where I woke up. On the way I kept pinching myself, harder then what was probably necessary and I kept feeling pain and I wasn't waking up. I tried to keep calm but my breaths were coming out to quick and the pace I was going was starting to pick up and before I knew it, I was by an alley.
'Was this the one?' By god he hoped so. How many alleys could there be in Happy Harbour anyway. Hopefully not too many. It would suck a lot if there was and this specific alley wasn't the right one. Quickly stepping in I spotted a familiar looking dumpster, and my body sagged briefly. How many alleys had a dumpster at the back of them? Hopefully just this one.
I started forward with my eyes peeled to the ground trying to spot my wallet. After some time, searching the spot and around it, where I woke up, I couldn't find it. Starting to panic I went further in hoping that it was just, maybe near the dumpster. No such luck, I even checked under the dumpster.
"Well hello there" I said softly as I found something I didn't spot before. A door that was opened inward slightly. Hesitating slightly, I pushed the door open, slowly, before stepping in. I passed a door that lead to a toilet and sink. Stepping in, I looked around before looking at the mirror. I stood in front of it before glancing at the mask still in my hand. I slowly put it back on before taking a good look in the mirror. And at that moment I knew just why my attire looked so familiar.
'Jesus. I look just like Hassan-I Sabbah of the Cursed Arm' I thought to myself. Did that other me just throw this on me before leaving me? If so, the next I find that guy, I was going to plant my foot up his-
'Smash!'
"Jesus Christ! Carful with that will ya? Don't need you waking up the whole damn district." A voice said just a bit more inside the building.
Tensing slightly, I left the bathroom before slowly making my way forward. Coming up to another door opened half way, I peeked out and saw three guys in dark clothing and ski masks placing Antiques and money in bags.
" Sorry." The one who smashed the antiques said before looking over to his partner in crime. Before asking hesitantly "How much to you think it was worth?" The one taking the money snorted before answering.
"Hell, if I know. It's worth nothing now. Just keep grabbing crap so we can get out of here."
I slowly backed away before they noticed me, hands digging into pockets for my phone before I realised something. It was gone.
'Great. Probably disappeared with my wallet' I thought to myself. I peeked out again and noticed something else. There was an elderly man on the floor. I froze, horrified of the thought of him being dead, before I noticed his body moving up and down slightly. Not dead then. Thank god.
'what to do, what to do' What he should have done was get out and look for help. But if he did then he didn't know what these guys would do with the old man after they finished stealing from the shop. If they killed him while he was getting help, he wouldn't be able to live with himself.
'Can't believe I'm doing this' I thought to myself as I slowly pushed the door open so I could slip through. I quickly slipped behind the guy as quietly and quickly as possible, balled my right hand into a fist, lifted and pulled back before letting it fly into the back of the guy's head.
The moment my hand hit his head, I realised something was wrong. I didn't put my full strength into the swing, as some part of me was scared if I did, I could accidently kill him, which I didn't want. What I wasn't expecting was for him to drop on the spot landing next to the elderly man with a thud. The other two looked up at the noise and froze upon catching sight of me. I admit I froze too as I realised what I just did. We stood still, like we were in a stand off from an old western movie, before one of them went for something on his side. Panicking, I threw myself over the counter and at him with speed and strength that surprised even myself, one hand latching onto his wrist with one with all my strength and my other slamming an uppercut, causing his head to snap up before he slumped and fell to the ground. I spun towards the other guy who had brought out a knife and was holding it with trembling hands.
" S-stay back! I'm warning you!" He said. I could see it in his eyes. I intimated him. I must have looked like some sort of demon with my clock and mask. Thank god for that. He couldn't see the panic in my eyes because of my mask.
"Drop the knife. Now" I spoke softly. His eyes were flickering to the front door, back to me, and then the back door, and he repeated this action even as his hand trembled more.
"Just stay away from me!" His voice rose to a shout, as he stepped back. He must have hit something because his head snapped to behind him. Taking the opportunity, I shot forward and grabbed his wrist in a tight grip. The man yelped and dropped the knife out of panic, which clattered onto the floor.
'somethings not right. I've never gone this fast before. And I have never managed to knock someone out with one hit.' So engrossed with my inner thoughts, I almost missed what the would-be crook was saying.
" Please don't hurt me! Please! The docks! If you go to the docks, you'll find all our money and goods! Please just let me go." The man whimpered. I took a long look at him before I snapped my head forward and headbutted him, knocking him out. Letting him down slowly I quickly patted him down, and to my luck I found a phone. Quickly grabbing it, I went back to the elderly man, and rolled him over. Quickly putting 911 in, I only waited a second before someone answered
"911, what's the emergency" A voice said.
"Hi. There's an antique store that's getting robbed" I said through the phone taking a second to check on the knocked-out crooks.
"I see. And which antique store is this sir"
"Uh… the one in Happy Harbour, in the… shopping district, I think. There's also an old man here who's unconscious." I explained unsure of what to actually do in this type of situation.
"Ok sir. An Ambulance and Police will be at your location. Are you injured at all?" They asked in a calm voice.
" No, I'm fine." I answered shortly. I looked under the counter and I saw some zip ties. Quickly taking some, I went over to the crooks, turned them over and quickly zip tied there hands together and their legs together behind their backs. I looked up the moment I heard sirens in the distance. Quickly making my way over to the old man, I looked him over once more, just to be sure that there was no bleeding. There wasn't thankfully. I made my way out of the store and back into the alley. I looked up. I just showed strength and speed that I hadn't previously had, so maybe, just maybe, I could jump really high and onto the roof. Crouching and tensing my leg muscles, I jumped. My hand reached up and I grabbed the roofs side, and i just hung there with no visible strain. Slowly I reached with my other hand and pulled myself up. I looked down. I just jumped a one-story building. I walked to the centre of the roof before looking out into the streets. The Sirens were getting closer.
Looking at another building just across the road, I took a step back before I shot forward and jumped, with a shout of joy leaving my mouth. Landing on my feet, I stumbled forward before straightening up I looked back at the shop and just crouched on the roof, waiting for the police to arrive with the ambulance. I didn't have to wait to long before the police arrived. The Ambulance arrived a minute after. The Police, two of them from what I could see, slowly walking in, and came back out shortly after with the still unconscious crooks, half dragging them to the paramedics before they went back in for the old man. I watched till they finished and watched as they left, for what I assumed to be the hospital.
Standing up I mulled over what I was told, before looking around. I saw the Mountain that I was sure was going to be the base for Young justice, and god wasn't that weird to think, before looking over to the right where the docks were. I took a deep breath before I ran to the edge of the roof, and jumped, my body soaring through the air as I landed on another building and I then repeated the action till I landed near the warehouse.
'Its just one stupid idea after another with me, isn't it' I thought darkly to myself. Heaving a sigh, I went forward to a container. I jumped again to the top of the warehouse. Looking down I didn't see anything so I crept forward till I found a window. I grabbed the edge of the roof and swung myself down, before using my hand to force the window open, as quietly as possible. Once that was done, I pulled it up. Taking a deep breath, I crept in.
'I'm starting to really think this isn't a dream.'
