AN: Random idea time. As usual, I like combining two of my fascinations together so this one is the offspring of Glee and Marvel: Avengers' Alliance game. It's one of the coolest fb games ever created by Playdom so if you find the game interesting by reading this fic then by all means, play it.
And yeah, to fully understand the jokes, puns and plot of the story, you probably need to know the basics of the game or at least the Marvel Universe. Hope you enjoy this.
Additional Note: I don't own Glee or MAA. If I did, i'd have a lot of people trying to kill me right now.
Chapter 1: Reality Warping
It was another Friday night during their winter break and Blaine Anderson was once again spending countless hours in front of his laptop playing his current addiction, a simple Facebook game entitled Marvel:Avengers Alliance. It all started when Kurt broke up with him and he needed a way to cope and channel his conflicted emotions since he was tired of just moping in his room every single night.
His simple gaming for the sake of passing time slowly became an addiction and even a daily ritual that rivaled his hair gel routine. And within two short months, he had almost reached a three-digit level in the game and had recruited almost two dozen heroes from various Marvel organizations. And his addiction also acted like a virus as his friends and fellow glee clubbers also started playing alongside him. And heck, they even established a superhero club in McKinley just to compliment their online obsession.
He was currently in the middle of a PVP fight against some high ranking gold buyer when the game suddenly stopped because of an 'update', which ordered him to refresh the game. Blaine cursed out loud because of the possible ranking demotion he'll get because of the interruption but he had no other choice but to refresh the game and hopefully win back those lost points.
He refreshed the game but the game failed to load and just displayed an error which added to his frustration. He was about to ask the other glee clubbers who were playing if they were encountering the same problem when Artie beat him to the punch.
A: The game not loading for you too?
B: Yeah... and I was in the middle of a PVP fight that I was winning when it happened... :
A: Damn, that sucks. At least I was just flight decking. What'd ya think they're changing?
B: No idea. Spec Ops and PVP tournament's still ongoing.
B: Unless they place another add-on to make the game more chaotic. Typical Playdom behavior
A: Well I already have Valkyrie so they can bring in SO6 for all I care :D
B: I really hate you right now, you know that right? XD
A: Don't hate the playa, hobbit. Hate the game. Anyway, talk to you later B. I have a date with Sugar.
B: K. Have fun. Gotta grab dinner anyway while the game's down
With that, Blaine logged out of his Facebook and turned off his laptop to give it its much deserved rest. He made his way to the kitchen and grabbed a microwaveable meal from the freezer and heated it up. Before his game addiction days, he would have taken the time to actually cook a decent dinner but now, he just settled for the quickest fix possible.
He munched on his cardboard texture-like Tonkatsu as he scrolled through his phone, almost willing it to beep and get a text from Kurt. This was why he hated moments when the game was down. Without the game taking a big chunk of his thoughts, the memories of all his transgressions and longing for Kurt started to rise back and make him morose.
He quickly finished his meal and washed up before he got to full on depression mode complete with three different flavors of Ben and Jerry's and Katy Perry's "Thinking of You" blasting through his room's speakers.
When he got back to his laptop, he quickly opened up his account again and with luck, the game finally loaded properly. And that's when he saw the new addition to the game.
Another plane sitting beside the Spec Ops one.
He checked the newsfeed first to see what the new event was and what the new plane was for but neither the News and Tips nor the forums had answers he was looking for. So he just did the only option to be done.
He clicked it.
Suddenly, his laptop flashed brightly and a weird image similar to Scarlet Witch's Probability Field filled the screen but it kept growing and growing till it was flashing out of his laptop and into his room, engulfing it in a weird scarlet hue. Another blast of light filled the room which caused him to close his eyes. When the glow died out, Blaine slowly opened his eyes and found himself in a whole new area.
His room was gone, from his bed to the laptop he was just using and he found himself on a street that he found vaguely familiar.
He then noticed that he was wearing something different from the singlet and pajama pants he was wearing a while ago. He was wearing a gray and blue Kevlar jumpsuit, but not just any other Kevlar jumpsuit; it was the same one he sold not too long ago since he found it obsolete for his level. And that's not all that's changed. In his belt that held a gun holster, he found a very familiar weapon, a Needle Gun.
"What the hell is going on here." he muttered to himself in clear disbelief.
Then things got weirder from that point on as a huge Sentinel suddenly found him by the street.
AN: So that's the prologue of the story, folks. Did you like it? I know that getting sucked into a video game is something that's probably been done a lot but it always has a different element to it given a different game to use.
Reviews are like Shield Points, you don't really need it that much but you would appreciate getting them~ especially at the start.
That's all for now. Percival Jones, logging off.
