Chapter 1: Beginning

The Mirror Universe: The United Empire of America, Dr. Banner stared at the Knight Automated Roving Robot that Ephraim Knight had started with the shell of a Mustang. 5 years had passed since his ship crashed on Earth and he had married an Earth woman named Elizabeth Burrows, and they had given birth to 2 children, a boy they named Wilton and a girl named Amy. The man Ephraim Zod whose last name he had taken, Vladimir Knight had recently died, poisoned by an Agent of the American government.

"Problem, Dr. Banner?" Ephraim asked in accented English to David. Dr. Banner smirked.

"No, no problem Mr. Knight. Just don't understand why you would build such a thing. The shielding you're using wouldn't hold up given our Atmosphere," David said. Ephraim smiled.

"Glad I hired you, David. Can I call you David," Ephraim said.

"It's Dr. Banner at least while I am on the clock, sir. Where did you come up with the equations for the shielding for this car," David asked as He pulled up the schematics for the car.

"It's a program that I borrowed from a rival family from home, and made some improvements. It was originally designed for space shuttles but was adapted due to the atmospheric conditions on this planet. Can you look over the CPU, please, Dr. Banner?" Ephraim asked. Both looked at the holographic image of the CPU, which was more complicated than it actually was.

"How long will it take?" Ephraim asked.

"At least a couple hours, Mr. Knight," Dr. Banner said. He smirked at Ephraim.

"Then get to it," Ephraim said as He turned and walked out of the laboratory. Dr. Banner smirked again as he stared at the computer screen which held his equations for the new shielding, when another rumble was felt. This had been going on for months, and that was another issue Dr. Banner had been working on. Dr. Banner saw a portal open in mid-air and a man fall through.

"It's a security breach," one of his assistants said. Dr. Banner stared at the young man. "Charles, this is not a security breach. It's something else," David said.

"How did that open?" Charles Graiman asked. David shrugged his shoulders. They then looked at the man. It was David Bruce Banner. The two men stared at this "other" David with shock. The portal then closed.

"Are You All right?" David asked his "clone". The man tried to stand up then fell back down as if he lost his balance.

"I was sent here by a Master magician due to a medical condition I have," The other David said, his eyes blurry.

"What kind of medical condition are we talking about and who are you?" Charles asked. David stared at the two men.

"I'm Dr. David Banner, and I was sent here due to a gamma ray infection, due to an experiment with strength. I'm cursed with incredible strength when either angered or enraged. I undergo a metamorphosis from a man into a creature of incredible strength. I was believed dead and I have assumed different identities to look for a way to either cure or control the creature," David said. Dr. Banner smirked.

"Why hide? Your power is something I would have used to take revenge on those who have caused harm to my family," Dr. Banner said.

"Oh you mean like Father? A farmer who wanted his son to take over the farm? Helen didn't and went into medicine. She did it because Mother lost another child, an unborn son she named Bruce. I was born about a year later and she named me David and gave me Bruce's first name as my middle name. I went searching for a cure after an automobile accident that took the life of my wife Laura. I just want this creature gone," David said, irritation in his voice.

"We have no record of a Dr. Helen Banner here in this reality," Charles said. David stared at the man in shock.

"What kind of place did Dr. Strange send me to?" He wondered aloud. Ephraim stared at the man and then moved to a computer.

"Computer, activate recall of the weapon known as Dragon Sword," Ephraim said. Both David's stared at the holographic image of a sword that was similar to a Japanese sword but the sword had a green dragon designed into the hilt of the weapon.

"What is that?" The other Dr. Banner asked.

"Very simply, Dr. Banners, this weapon could spell doom for this universe, so we must hide it somewhere else. I have a secret I must reveal about this weapon and about who I am. Gentlemen, what will be shared will not be revealed outside this room or you will be killed," Ephraim said. Both men and Dr. Graiman nodded.

"My name is Ephraim Zod, and I come from the Planet Krypton. This weapon has the ability to destroy a universe. The rival family I spoke of, The House of El, they are on their way to this planet to retrieve this sword to lay claim to control of Krypton. David, you're from another reality similar to ours, right? When you grab the hilt of the weapon, it will take you home," Ephraim said. David Bruce Banner stared at him.

"Ephraim, your insane," He finally said. Ephraim smiled at him.

"This being said by a man who is staring at his double. You have a creature of incredible strength at your command. You must learn to control it. You think I'm insane, but aren't we all? Computer show me the Planet Krypton, gamma sector, please," Ephraim said. The laboratory's holographic emitters projected a holographic image of a dark green planet that pulsed full of life.
