If I told you that there was a gateway-a portal if you will- among us, would you believe me? And if I told you that it likes to lead the most recognized fictional characters into our world? No? Well you should. Why? Because, my dear comrades, I've seen it happened. In the most ridiculous place on the face of the planet. My 3rd period math class.
I saw the gate before it happened. But it was more like a shimmer in the air than a portal. It was just there, in the middle of the white board. I rubbed my eyes to see if I was just hallucinating. It was still there. Cleaned my glasses. Still there.
"Are you okay, Ventura?" I glanced to my best friend, Martinez. Well, her name is Angela but we were in ROTC together our freshman year so it stuck. She was a very short person but good hearted. She was someone I could trust with anything.
"Can you see that?" I asked, pointing to the shimmer. She took a look and frowned.
"What am I suppose to see?"
"The shimmer."
"Shimmer?"
"Yes shimmer. Do you not see the damn shimmer in the bloody air?" She have me a questionable look before shaking her head no. I huffed and rubbed my hand over my face in frustration.
"Dude, what did you drink last night?" She asked. I sighed and turned to her.
"I didn't drink anything!" Martinez gave me a look. "I promise!" She continued to give me that look before turning back to her worksheet. I groaned in annoyance and place my pencil on my upper lip. I continued to stare menacingly at the shimmer before someone stood in my view. I looked up and quickly grabbed my pencil. I then smiled nervously.
"What can I do for you, Mr. Graumann?" He glanced at my mockingly blank worksheet and back at me.
"Aren't you suppose to be doing something, Alexa?" I tapped my pencil against my lip then shrugged.
"I'm not sure. Oh well." He gave me a knowing look. "Damn it was worth a try." I pressed the pencil against the paper, scribbling random nonsense, hoping that he'll leave. He didn't. I sighed and about to make an excuse to go to the restroom but Mr. Graumann interrupted me.
"The Portal shall open." I raised an eyebrow.
"Um, portal?" I asked. What portal? I leaned forward a bit to see if Mr. Graumann was on something. Then I noticed his eyes. They were purely white. I sank back into my seat and gripped my pencil tightly. I didn't know what was going on but I'm not going down without a right way. Then the room was starting to shake. Shrieks and shouts were coming from around me. I felt Martinez was trying to pull me away from my seat, shouting at me. I was too focused on the teacher. I didn't noticed the shimmering behind him began to become more visible. All of a sudden, Mr. Graumann sank into the floor, unconscious. I was startled but then I glanced at the shimmer. It looked more like a vortex now. I hadn't noticed that Martinez was still here.
"W-What is that?" She asked stuttering. I began to shake, terrified of the growing vortex. "Let's get outta here!" But I just stood there. Too scared to move. Then there was a whisper in my ear.
"Watch out." I pushed Martinez and myself out of the way as something was launched out of the portal. It gave out a yelp as it landed on the desks, binders and pencils flying. Martinez and I sat there on the ground as it started to get up. Then I realized it wasn't a thing. It was more like two human beings. Grown men, to be precise. Then they turned their heads to us and I gasped. I recognized them.
"Holy shit. Sherlock and Watson?!"
