HELLSALEM'S LOT
LIBRA OFFICE
Klaus gathered what was left with Libra, "This is strange,"
Steven remarked, "That seems like a relative term these days,"
"Well," Klaus looked over on his computer, "the witnesses report a portal formed in the middle of a dinner and two unconscious people materialized along with a strange pink creature."
"Pink Creature?"
"Some sort of pink ball that kept eating all the food, no one recognized it. The police have already taken them in for questioning. Something about this feels off. I think we should look into it."

Missy and Alexis were in an interrogation room at a police station. Kirby was in a large jar like container sitting on the table.
Missy looked at her hand, well the manacles on her hands, that were firmly wrapped around her finger. They would be challenging to get out of, not impossible but time-consuming, but she did appreciate the effort.
That was the only good thing she could say about the situation; they chained them up and marched them in half dazed. They didn't search them probably since they assumed they couldn't reach for anything. Alexis' pockets were bigger on the inside, and he had a few more toys hidden that he was planning on taking out when they were ready. Missy herself had a few ticks too.
Missy mumbled, "Oh, another time I wake up in chains; I hope this time will go better."
A tired police officer sat across them with a stack of papers.
"Do you know why you're here?"
"Nope," Alexis replied, "I might have a concussion, so that might be messing me up a bit. Someone should check that first."
The Officer huffed," We can get you checked out after we finish here. Names and species."
Missy smiled, "Missy, short for Mistress. I'm a Timelady. One word."
Alexis replied, "Ivan Navi."
The Officer glanced at him, "Really?"
"What can I say? My parents were idiots,"
He sighed, unwilling to make that a thing, "Are you a timelady too?"
Alexis smiled, "I don't think I qualify; if you are going for titles, I go with Curator of Secrets sometimes."
"Bit of a mouthful," Missy noted.
"And Timelady isn't?"
"Yeah, but it's a brand."
"Species?" The Officer Ignored their banter.
Alexis leaned back, "Human? Humanish? Metahuman? Human-plus? Mutant? I'm a bit weird, had stuff added onto me."
"Really?" Missy smirked, "Oh, I knew you'd be interesting. Anything fun?"
"And your pet?" The Officer looked at Kirby.
"That's Kirby, species I don't know." Alexis admitted, "I say friend, he's shaped like a friend. Also, I'd like him freed."
"Once he is identified, we can talk about it. There are laws about bringing in strange creatures without the proper permits."
Alexis scoffed. "So, what's happening in this world? You don't seem particularly surprised to see people drop out thin air? I think I saw an orc on the way. You don't ask anything twice about Kirby, and you seem to have procedures for nonterrestrial species?"
"Good questions," Missy smiled, "I was going to ask why does space in this city feel like someone put it in the blender and pressed purée."
The Officer continued with his paperwork, "Do you have any unlicensed magics or unregulated exotics technologies."
"Yes!" They both answered together.
The Officer bolted up and glared at them, pulling out a walkie.
"Okay, this is weird," Missy said; she noticed they were fading.
"It might be the concussion, but yeah," Alexis added.
And like that, they vanished along with Kirby; they left behind the chains and everything they didn't come with.

NEW YORK CITY, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
AVENGER'S COMPOUND
Jack and Scarlett had both gotten bored on duty and ended up googling. They found out a little bit about Steve Rogers just as he came with the others.
"You punched Hitler?" Scarlett smiled.
"Something like that," Steve said noncommittally, looking at a picture of one of his old stage days.
Jack smirked, "You look good for someone whose been alive since World War two."
"That's a long story," Steve tried to explain.
The Doctor walked up, "Jack, you're one to talk." She looked over the screen with the picture, "You've met Hitler too? Rory punched him too after we saved him."
Steve paused, "You saved Hitler?"
"Not intentionally," The Doctor waved it off, "someone was trying to kill him already, and Tardis crashed through the wall knocking down the assassin. It was a big mistake; we didn't see the building. It was just one of those days. The baby daughter of my friends Amy and Rory had been kidnapped, and turned out she grew up with them this whole time. She held us up at gunpoint to steal my time machine. Hitler shot her, and then Rory knocked him out and put him in a cupboard. Their friend/daughter then regenerated into River. River at that time we didn't know was my wife; she kept teasing me, we kept meeting out of order. That was a surprise, and then she poisoned me and ran off. The assassin went to kill her for killing me later, while I was dying in a different manner. So I had to save her, she returned the favor and then got her in a college. It was a busy day."
Everyone present, including Jack, looked at the Doctor, unsure what to make of her story.
Scarlett just remarked, "Just listening to that story was a ride."
Steve just landed on, "You saved Hitler?"
"Not on purpose,"
Steve took a deep breath deciding to ignore that; he wasn't sure he could even make heads or tails about that.
Steve had been distracted by the little conversation and turned to the group, "We are getting signals from other worlds, people who would like to talk to us. Some people haven't responded; we check upon them. I thought we could in groups to talk to them. The worlds have been checked out and should be safe."

BRAINIAC'S SHIP
Luthor-167 walked out of the room; he fixed his one black glove. His white suit still untainted.
"So, how's your pet project?" The black-suited with the beard Luthor-38 greeted him. "If I were you, which I am, I'd finish her off. It's bad enough she tracked us."
"Well, we have a history, after all."
"Yeah, that future tech might be useful; she lost contact with her Legion. But she's-"
"Being taken over by Mister Mind,"
"The Venusian worm?"
"Her strength was zapped in her travel here; it's given him enough to work with it. We could use the extra muscle,"
"Do you think we can trust him?"
"I set up precautions; besides, she's a trump card."
"I do love having a trump card, but do you think we need one?"
"We are going into a new universe, too many unknown variables, and we know they'll try to fight back. They always do." He paused, "Then there is our special weapon downstairs, half the ship's power is being diverted to make sure it doesn't get up. If it gets out of control, then having her might be the key to surviving."
ETHERIA S-RPP-1113 (Despondos .03)
FRIGHT ZONE
HORDE HQ
Adora already powered up as She-Ra walked in with Glimmer and Entrapta. They wanted answers for what happened with the castle, and they picked up a strange power surge. As they arrived, they had planned to sneak in, but they didn't find anyone. They didn't even bother to sneak; there wasn't a soul around.
Glimmer was going to teleport them away the second they got found out, but there wasn't any need. "The Horde is gone, the whole Horde. How's that possible?"
Entrapta was trying to find a working computer, "I'm not sure; if I were going to guess, I'd say they made a portal somewhere."
"Okay, but where are they going?"
Adora walked around the halls; she wasn't sure what she was looking for. Every weapon, every tool, all their supplies were just gone. Adora did find people's personal effects, not that there were many to start with, but she did see signs that some items were likely missing. People seemed to realize they were leaving maybe forever and those who could take whatever was most precious to them.
Adora found herself in the locker room; she mindlessly opened the locker that had been her to find it empty. She should have known; they would have emptied it soon after she left. Adora then thought of something; maybe she could find a clue to what happened in one of the lockers. Kyle might have left his orders written down in his locker. There was no luck; she kept searching and searching before finding one locker with a tablet with a note with her name on it.
She turned it on and quickly found a video message for her.
Playing it, she was greeted by Loonie's voice, "Adora?"
"Lonnie?" Adora was confused; Lonnie was usually even-tempered even in battle. The video looked like it was filmed while she was hiding in a closet and a hurry.
"I hope you get this message, I wanted to try and message the rebellion, but I'd sure they're monitoring transmissions. Look, we don't have much time. We're going to move out; right now, I should be helping move supplies. Things have gone off the rails; it started when everyone turned into dust. Catra took control of the Horde, someone picked up something strange, and well, they made another portal, but things didn't go crazy like last time; they went crazy in another way. Catra and the troops used it to go somewhere, and that purple guy came back with them. They call him Thanos; I'm not sure how he does it, but he has power, which we can't fight him. Even Catra is doing what he says. We're going somewhere because of him; I don't know. He's planning something. Something big, just looking at Catra even she's scared. I couldn't get much, but I've saved the data I could. Hopefully, you can do something. Good luck."
The video ended, leaving Adora in silence.
EARTH ML-9115
PARIS, FRANCE
TOM & SABINE BOULANGERIE PATISSERIE
Marinette was trying to keep herself busy, to make some snacks for Plagg, not that he was complaining. However, Plagg had told her to stop reading Master Fu's tablet. She was trying to take her mind off things. She decided to try and learn more about her position as the guardian of the miraculous. The other heroes had agreed; she'd been working herself to near-death; they had to tell her to take the day off.
Plagg was sleeping on top of the tablet to make sure she wasn't studying.
She could only cook because she could argue she had to if she wanted to eat.
It wasn't like people were going to bakeries for cakes right now. She would have the whole day to herself, and she wasn't sure she could take it. She knew this was way beyond anything she could do, but she felt guilty that she couldn't have done anything.
The tablet lit up as it just received a message.
Knock. Knock.
Marinette blinked as she saw someone at the door.
"Luka?"
The blue-haired boy waved from the door, and Marinette went over to open the door. "Luka? What are you doing here?"
"I wanted to check up on you," He smiled gently, "the news has been suggesting that we all check in on each other. I heard that your parents were …" He let his words trail off, "I'm sorry, I just wanted to make sure you were okay."
Marinette did her best to return the gesture, "I'm… holding up okay. How about you?"
Luka took a moment, "Mom, is okay. Juleka… well, she's pretty broken up about what happened to Rose."
Marinette felt guilty; she should have called her; she should be calling on her friends doing what she could help them.
"At school, were having a memorial service. Everyone is getting a chance to get together and talk and remember everyone. I wanted to see if you wanted to come. It would be a good chance to see everyone."
Marinette couldn't help to think of all of the people who were gone.
"I'd love to," Marinette worked up a smile, "give me a second."
She grabbed her bag and pushed the tablet and Plagg on it.
Plagg groaned but tried to go back to sleep. Plagg barely noticed the lit screen.
Hello.
Hello.
Hello, is someone there?
Plagg sighed and slipped to the other side to ignore the light.

Max as Pegasus and Alix as Bunnyx went into the Burrow. Alix's Bunny outfit looked a lot like the outfit her adult-self wore, a few minor changes here and there, one being this outfit came with skates.
The Burrow was her power, a place she could reach that would allow her to travel to any place or time.
Their Kwami had felt something during the Dusting and had an indescribable feeling since. They had hoped that going into the Burrow; they could discover some secret behind the events. It was a bit unsettling, in a large white space filled with screens that showed moment from all-around time. Several of the screens seemed to have shattered.
Looking at the ones showing the Dusting wasn't any better; seeing the events play out again didn't sit well with them. They were still teen; kids were watching people die over and over again was getting a bit too much. But watching those scenes made them share the same feeling as their kwami; something was wrong.
Alix finally said, "I think we should just go."
Max sighed, "Yeah, I don't think there is anything for us to see here."
A hole in space opened up, letting them exit.
As they left, they missed a screen with a blue frog-like creature devouring thing over Paris. Next to it was a screen showing Paris, but it looked distorted before the screen shattered and turned black.
EARTH BC-216
ROYAL CAPITAL, CLOVER KINGDOM
MAGIC KNIGHTS HQ
Space tore apart, sending some of the royal knights backward. From out of the blast, Missy, Alexis, and Kirby collapsed onto the ground.
"Was that you or me?" Missy coughed.
"I assumed it was you." Alexis shook his head. "Kirby?" The puffball groaned but seemed to be okay. "Okay, weird. I was planning on getting out of the cuffs and getting remote to portal out, but-"He paused, "Not sure what happened."
Missy got up and picked Kirby up, petting him like he were a cat, "The TDS, you added some safeties, no?"
"A couple, but I don't know of any that would just randomly teleport us to another universe." He looked around, "I mean, this is feudal, unless that crazy New York has a very accurate-"
"A very accurate, what?"
"I don't know that sentence got away from me."
"Wasn't there a tether? What if the device sensed damaged it would pull us back?"
"Yeah, but it shouldn't send us here. And they don't seem damaged. And why did it bring Kirby? I mean, I'm glad, but he's not wearing a TDS. How'd he get pulled?"
"Excellent questions. Beautiful questions. If I wasn't holding a bouncy pink ball, I'd applaud you. I would rather you use that remote to get us back to our base, and we figure out there." She motioned to the destruction, "We didn't get knocked out this time, but I think people will show up soon. Trust me, I've learned from personal experience people get grumpy when you arrive destroying their walls."
Missy motioned to a wall that had been shattered by their entrance into this world.
"Point taken," Alexis pulled out his remote and opened a portal, or tried to; a flash of energy erupted, and their TDS beeped. "That wasn't supposed to happen."
"Who might you be?" A tall wild-looking man with a black shoulder cape walked up to them.
Behind him were several other people; those were the Magic knights drawn by the explosion. Some of them moved to secure and heal the guards who were blasted away.
Yami pulled out his sword, "Did you cause this?"
"Yes."
"No."
"Po."
"No."
"Yes"
"Yo!"
Yami blinked. "Do you want to get your story straight?"
Missy wasn't particularly worried, not even as many knights began to summon elements, weapons, or other arcane attacks. She could feel the energies tickling her skin and making her back teeth itch. Then she realized she was feeling that from Alexis too.
Alexis' hand gently pressed on his watch device, energy coiling around it as symbols formed on the face.
He said in almost a pray like a whisper, "Let this be good,"
There was a flash of light, and suddenly there was a large bat.
The Bat screamed; the pitch was high enough that it stunned them as they tried to cover their ears.
Before anyone could react, the Bat jumped into the air picking Missy with its feet and flying away.
"Didn't see that coming." Missy shrugged.
The Bat jumped and grabbed Missy by her feet and flew into the air.
Yami cringed, "Dirty trick, but I gotta admit it was effective."
Usually, he would be angry, but it was pointless for them to run. The Mana acted weird around them, but their Ki was something else. The three of them had the strangest, and each had such unique Ki, like nothing he'd ever seen before. It wouldn't be hard for him to track them.
0000
"So, are we going to talk about this?" Missy asked calmly as he hung limply over a city.
"I said I was a bit weird," Alexis reaffirmed.
"You're a shapeshifter?"
"Sort of, a messed up spell was used on me when I was young. It was meant to turn me into a monkey, didn't go all the way. The transformation ended up messing with my morphic field, and worse, when I was exposed to similar conditions, they imprint on me. The whole thing is unstable, but I can tap into this to transform with the right energies. Some shapes are more useful than others; some are only halfway, sometimes other factors get in the way; some are affected by magics that infused them into me. I keep a foci in my watch whose sole purpose is to tap into my morphic field to use it when I can."
"Anything fun?"
"Spider, I turn into a giant spider that heals weirdly."
"Oh! You have to show me that."
"Maybe later, some of the transformations can be triggered if I'm exposed to the right things, but some I just gotta get lucky."
"Like this bat?"
"It was better than getting a ferret."
EARTH SF-5802-SBR
[REDACTED]
SITE-19
The world was messed up, it had been for some time, but this was a new level of broken. Sitting on the floor, propped up by his desk, was the man known as Dr. Alto Cleft. That wasn't his real name, but no one was willing to play an Alto note to refer to him, so it was easier to go along with it.
He was drinking a bottle of whiskey; another doctor had given him as a secret Santa present. He was pretty sure they were dead now.
He took another swig of his drink.
He was pretty drunk at the moment; he wasn't sure where his favorite hat was or even his ukelele. It probably didn't matter at the moment; he still remembered where he left the Winchester 1912 shotgun.
Near him was his discarded laptop; it displayed the names of the staff and SCP that had all been confirmed to vanish. He couldn't care less of some of those SCP; he'd been asking to kill some of them for years now. When he heard SCP-682 was gone, he might have called it a worthy trade.
Then he heard about Bright; he tried to tell himself that Bright could hopefully be at peace, at the very least. Hell, there was probably a load of SCP who had been ordinary people once; they were probably out of their misery too. Cleft was a bastard, but he didn't wish that on anyone.
Then he heard about SCP-166.
Then he heard about his daughter, that she was amongst those who vanished.
He was a crap father, but he did try for her. She lived a happy life with those nuns, and then her anomaly made that peaceful like impossible, and the foundation found her. They took her, and he hated it; she didn't deserve to be locked up. But the very least he could watch her, try and protect her.
Then this shit hit the fan. He failed her.
He couldn't do shit.
The world broke apart, and she was gone. She didn't deserve that. She just wanted to live a peaceful life and be a nun! Hell! According to that stupid camera, her deepest darkest desire was that she just wanted to meet a nice boy that unaffected by her anomaly.
She deserved so much more!
Cleft was odd; anomalous stuff didn't affect him like it did other. He wondered if he won the coin toss or that little quirk about him saved him somehow. He didn't care; why did he get to stay behind when she didn't?
He spent a couple of hours in his Officer saying every blasphemy he could come up with and cuss out God.
Then he just decided to get drunk and call it.
"I should probably write up a note," He looked around he found his hat but not a sticky note, "don't I have a note pad or something?"
"Cleft?" A monotone voice spoke up.
"Gears?"
The door opened up slowly as an older man in a lab coat walked in. His face was stoic, even as the world falling apart.
"Geary, want a drink?"
Dr. Gears took the bottle from him, "You look terrible."
"Come on, tell me what you really think?" He gave him a toothy grin.
Gear helped pull him onto his feet, "If you need time, and can try and cover for you."
Cleft snorted, "I love that about you, people are going crazy burning cities, and we can't do shit! But you, it's just another day for you."
"I know what you're going through."
"Like hell, you do."
"I believe he does," A man in a simple black suit walked into the room.
"What?" Cleft blinked.
"Dr. Gears knows exactly what you are going through." The man spoke calmly, "Alison Chao, The Black Queen is amongst those confirmed dusted."
Cleft sobered a bit at that; some of the higher-ups, including him, knew that Gears' daughter had decided to destroy the foundation just because Gears couldn't see her and work for the foundation. They never talked about it, Gears wasn't much for opening up, but Cleft felt like an ass now; he knew exactly what he was going through.
"And you lost your daughter, SCP-166."
Cleft sober all up then.
The man didn't change his expression, "Yes, we know about her. You really think you could have slipped her a note, and we wouldn't realize it was you?"
"Who the hell are you?" Cleft asked.
The man smirked a little, "I'm the Administrator,"
Cleft was not thinking at the moment; the Administrator was a huge mystery even in the foundation. Most people didn't know anything about them; some argued that they didn't exist or that only the O-5 Council had any real knowledge of them. Some people thought they were SCP-001, well, one of them.
If the man before them was the Administrator, they might end missing soon.
"Doctors," The Administrators spoke with just the smallest hint of amusement, "we think we found something that might lead us to the source of all this. It might even help us bring your daughters and everyone else back. Interested?"

Alexis landed and changed back.
Missy teased him, "Oh! You were so cute in that form. That little bat nose."
"First off, I was adorable. Second, my arms and legs hurt. I'm not used to carrying people."
Missy handed Kirby to Alexis and looked through her pockets, and pulled out a metal pen. She used it pop open the cover of the TDS. "Let's just try to keep moving before they catch up. Hopefully, we will be gone before then."
"They'll be looking for a giant bat, so hopefully that buys us some time."
Missy chuckled at that.
"Not as much time as you'd think," Yami popped out of a portal along with the other knights. "Neat trick."
"Do you have any others?" Missy smirked.
"Sure," Alexis told her, "not any that come to mind at the moment."
There were a few dozen people around them, and sure he had a few tricks but none that would work on all of them at the same time. And he was sure if he tried anything and failed, they would be in a world of pain.
So he decided to talk. "So, Hi! I'm Alexis!"
"Hello," Yami replied.
"This is Kirby."
"Hi!"
"Before you attack us, mind to tell us who you are?"
Yami glared, "We're the magic knights; you might have noticed you blow up our wall."
"That was an accident and-"Alexis blinked, "Magic Knight? As in the Clover Kingdom?" Alexis vaguely remembered they turned down their request, "Did you guys get a message from someone calling themselves Scout?"
"Yeah, we told them no," Yami had disagreed with the decision, but the Knights put it to a vote. They decided they couldn't risk a wild goose chase when they had to make sure the kingdom was protected. Maybe they were right.
"Is that what you guys do? Someone says know you show up in person to wreck their places?"
"That was an accident; we tumbled,"
Missy interrupted, "Food for thought for another time, let's test a theory," she jammed the pen into the circuits, and they vanished with a flash of light.
The knight looked around; some with the power to teleport looked for a way to trace them. Yami looked up as he sensed some weird Ki. In the sky, a giant hand manifested.

"Did you find anything?" Ilana was with Octus.
Octus had given up on his human disguise, and several orbs floated around him. He had been scanning the rift, his first impressions being that this was an attack of some sort. He did picking up garbled messages that all summed up that what happened on Earth happened on Galaluna.
Octus also picked up another message that he couldn't figure out.
"I'm not sure, Princess," Octus told her, "I've been trying to find the source of this phenomena."
"Have you figured out how it happened? I've never seen anything like this before."
"Me either; I think I have a lead, but I think we need something else. It would take me too long to make what we need, and trying to pull that much energy from the city's power grid could be dangerous. I think we have to reach G3."
Ilana frowned, "Lance would be the first one to tell us we shouldn't trust them."
"True, but we don't have much choice. There is a natural signal, and it's decaying it something different from anything else. It might have the key to solving this mystery."

SUMDAC TOWER
Sari, Bulkhead, and her dad had figured out something.
"The source of this is coming from a parallel universe," Isaac confirmed. "It's the only thing that makes sense."
Bulkhead sighed, "Yeah, as crazy as it sounds. The readings we did manage to make out seem like that that we went into that weird mirror world."
"But not through a single point like with the space bridge, but over everything. I don't think we can track the source of it now; it's fading."
Isaac shook his head, "Maybe … the problem is we don't have the right technology. The space bridge is a great start, but they weren't designed to pick up such widespread and dispersing waveforms."
If they pushed the space bridge earlier, they might have had a better chance to track the remaining initial waveform, but that would have likely caused riots in the city when the power went out.
Sari twitched, she turned to her computer screen.
Hello, my name is Scout.
Sari touched the computer, and she felt something strange; there was a spark of something living in there. It wasn't like the Autobots, but it was kinda similar.
That tingled. Please don't do that again.
Sari pulled back, "Uh, sorry about that."
No worries; talking from another universe is a bit weird, and tingling isn't helping.
"What?" Bulkhead asked.
Let's start with what you already know and move on from there.

She knew it wasn't a dream, that it wouldn't just snap back to normal.
Hello, I'm Scout. I represent a group who knows what caused the dusting phenomena and is working on undoing it. We think you and your friends could be of help. Would you be interested in talking?

HERO ASSOCIATION HQ
Missy, Alexis, and Kirby materialized in an elevator, energy erupted around them, and the elevator shook. Luckily, this time there hadn't been nearly the same amount as last time.
"What did you do?" Alexis asked.
"I was very clever," She grinned, "okay, I'll explain but try to keep up. I'd be disappointed if you didn't. I thought we were teleporting at random, but we were slipping through a long list of the world your little Scout had found. Which is lucky for us; it would have been unfortunate if we landed in a world radiated or lacking oxygen."
"True, thank you, Scout, for looking on worlds that matched as livable," Alexis mused, tapping at the keys on the TDS, trying to contact him and failing.
The elevator slowly rose.
"Here's the clever bit, Kirby kept moving with us even when he didn't have a device. It is one of the safety features; if something happens to us, a minor shield provided by the Raccoon materializes over us. It's on us right now, but much weaker we can't see it; it's the reason the explosions haven't harmed us, look at us, no scratches or anything. It's spread across Kirby and us and tethered us together."
"That is pretty good,"
"You haven't seen anything; there is power building up in the devices that are causing us to jump. I just tripped the circuitry to cause a jump before the power built up all the way and prevented the excess energy from exploding."
"Good, the energy building is screwing the systems setting the safety measures and making it so we can't contact anyone and screwing with my remote. But what's causing the surge of power?"
Missy tapped her chin, "I have an idea, need to check somethings. Luckily, an elevator would suggest that we have some tech. We do some repairs and scans, and we-"The doors of the elevator opened up, and they stepped up.
They were confronted with a pompadour teen in red and black clothes, he had a delinquent look, and he held a metal bat.
"I thought I heard something," the hero Metal Bat glared at them, "where are your passes?"
"Sharp," Missy shrugged, "nothing gets past you. Hello, I'm Missy," She stared him in the eyes, and he paused. She leaned forward, touching his shoulder. "Wow," She grunted, "a thick mind, determined too, he's fighting me. He's no Bruce, but he's not making this easy. I'm Missy, and you will obey me."
Metal Bat reached for his Bat but twitched and stoped.
"Okay, now, do you have a tech lab here? Also, where is here?"

The secret scientist or those the remained we're gathered at the Saturday's HQ. They were going over everything they could, any detail they could to explain what was happening.
They weren't getting far until an idea that Dr. Miranda Grey and Doc Saturday brought up.
They displayed a black mirror on the screens along with a mountain of data.
Dr. Grey started, "We have known about parallel universes for some time."
Doc sighed, "Me and my family…" he paused, "we had a chance to study a mirror that acted as a bridge between universes, and that data confirms similar radiation spikes."
Grey continued, "The wave that caused this originates from another universe. I can't pretend to understand the purpose behind this, but I believe I've managed to narrow it down. A pulse from that universe to another, possibly a message, appeared while I was running scans. I think I can trace it."
"It's a long shot," Doc told the scientist before him, "but if we want answers, that were we have to go. If we can work together, we can pinpoint the location and make something capable of taking us there."

Underneath the café, the Mew Mews brought in the tech that Tart had brought with him. Keiichiro has connected it to their sensors. The aliens had messed around with other dimensions, and they picked up something. They couldn't be sure it was important, but they had hoped; they gathered everything they had to trace it. It might have been nothing, but it might have had the answers they looked for.
It might have been nothing, but it looked like someone sent a massive message to someone else across universes.
EARTH DP-4304
AMITY PARK, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
FENTON WORKS
In the last few days, several agencies had tried to contact Maddie; since the Fentons had been such a big help saving the world, people thought they might know something. Maddie just got off the phone with the Guys in White; she had confirmed that even the Ghost Zone had been affected the same. They had sent probes to the Ghost Zone to prove it.
Maddie was willing to take Clockworks' disappearance as proof; Danny wanted to go into the Ghost Zone to double-check.
Maddie was exhausted; it felt like the world was ready to shatter, and it felt like she was trying to hold it back.
Sam was trying to play a video on the TV, trying to take their minds off everything. Danny was trying to keep Dani in good spirits. But there was so little good news.
"Hey, mom? Was dad trying to do something with the TV?" Danny called out.
"Yeah, the video is weird," Sam added.
"I don't think so." Maddie walked into the living room.
The TV blared.
BEEP. BEEP. BEEP.
Ow! Can we stop fiddling with the tech! I'm trying to talk! I'd rather not filter a video too!
EARTH MLATR-81
TREMORTON, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
WAKEMAN RESIDENTS
Sheldon Lee had fallen asleep at the computer. After the initial rescues and Marshall Law had been instituted, SkyWay Patrol was keeping the peace. Sheldon focused on trying to figure out what had happened; he found a few weird things.
Hello.
Sheldon snored fast asleep.
Okay. Let's try this.
BEEP. BEEP. BEEP.
Sheldon jolted awake, "What?"
Are we up?
"What?"
Mister Cooper, or do you prefer to go by Silver Shell?
"What? How did you?— Who are you?"
I'm Scout. The how is a bit complicated. I'm just good at finding out stuff, including the data you have on the suit in your belt. Sorry if I'm a bit impatient here, I might have blacked out, and I'm trying to make up for the time I missed. It feels like I screwed up something.
"Uh, yeah, okay?" Sheldon looked at the words forming on the screen; he was a bit worried about how they knew his secret identity by getting into the computer he had in the suit. Were they watching him through a camera? How else did they know what he was saying in real-time?
Is right now a good time to talk?
"Yeah, sure?"
Great! I didn't want to bother the robot-girl. I've found it rude to pop directly into people's heads. And you were the closes person to something I could talk to. I couldn't help but notice you were digging into some space stuff. I think I might have some information for you.
EARTH M-199999
NEW YORK CITY, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
AVENGER'S COMPOUND
Several holographic screens displayed video, data, and written accounts of things that Scout had found in multiple universes. Some of the people had been contacted already.
Scarlet pointed at some of the ones that Scout was interested in, "Okay, so this one world has a girl who has the power to restore things." The video showed a wave of red repairing buildings after an attack, "Scout has identified them and has tried contacting them, but they haven't responded. "Something like that would be useful, even on a smaller scale." The Doctor grinned, "I doubt it could just fix everything, but a complex restructuring, I want to see how that works."
Gwen stepped up, "It looks like some sort of magic."
Charmcaster added, "Nothing like I've ever seen."
Steve smiled, "Sounds like we have an away team ready."
Scarlet continued, "Scout has made contact with someone in another universe; they seem to have incredible healing powers and can create powerful shields. Seem they're involved with aliens."
Steve did think that would be hugely useful if they ended in a fight, though he was always found of shields.
"We should probably talk to someone in person; the person they were talking to seemed to be a little erratic."
Jack looked over the list of world, "There is a world with a group that is taking over what information we got them. Maybe we should send someone over. "He paused, "And it looks like there are a few people interested in coming over and talking later today. They seem reasonable, but we should be ready to explain things. The fact that they seemed well on their way to find in us makes them seem like they'd be a big help."
Steve couldn't help but smile; many people out there were still fighting and looked for help.
EARTH SG-02
COLORADO SPRINGS, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
STARGATE COMMAND/CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN
Jack O'Neil looked at the screen footage brought back by the away teams during the fight of Dakara. There were aliens that they had no records for; they were strong enough that they could give death glider a run for their money without a ship.
Also, it looked like Anubis was back. If Morgan La Fey got freed with her fighting partner vanished, they guessed Anubis got out the same way.
Somehow that wasn't the worst of it.
The superweapon on Dakara had been destroyed, and some big purple guy just waved his hand, rebuilding it out of nothing.
One of the Jaffa heard him called Thanos, and then he somehow vanished with the entire mountain that held the rebuilt weapon.
He watched as an active stargate glowed with a wormhole, and people brought stuff in. The early reports were great; they found something on the world La Fey led them to. It was a world where the ancients experiment with parallel universe stuff, creating mirrors he was all too familiar with. It looked like someone used them before they had. Carter theorized that what caused the Dusting happened outside the universe, and maybe these new aliens were from another universe. They also guessed that maybe Anubis used the tech before they had and found them and now was in league with them.
Jack groaned at the idea that Anubis had joined some sort of evil Legion.
The gate shut down as Carter walked out; she held a strange orb with three triangles made of three dots marking it.
EARTH M-199999
TOKYO, JAPAN
GIRI INSTITUTE
Japan was not like the United States; once enhanced humans started to appear worldwide, they didn't act as the Americans had. After all, these were still Japanese citizens; any abilities they manifested didn't change that. Any exotic technologies they created were their creations. It made more sense for the government to support them and find mutual ground to work together.
Though Japan, like many other countries to signed the accords. They weren't all too pleased with some of the regulations. They had agreed to sign it because many countries seemed to imply that certain trade agreements might be in danger if they hadn't.
In the end, it was a political move, but Japan had its methods to subvert some rulings. They did register enhanced individuals and give them handlers to check in on them once a week. They might have neglected to send a complete list to the UN. Japan assisted if they required them and did everything they could to prevent them from endangering themselves or others.
They refused to use tracking-devices on any lawful citizen with abilities; they felt akin to treating them like animals. They also weren't fond of any enhanced individual was locked indefinitely without a trial. They had still been trying to retrieve a Japanese citizen arrested for accidentally starting a fire overseas.
A teenage boy in a red shirt and a hoodie arrived in an office; behind him was a large man in a dark suit and hat.
In the dark office were two women. One was an older teenager; she wore black pants and a black top with a stylish red jacket. She had long, bright blonde hair with a black hairband. She greeted him with a bright, energetic smile.
"You must be our appointment."
Behind a desk was a woman with medium brown hair; she wore a grey business suit and a pair of thin glasses. The glasses had almost distracted from her eyes, they were both dark blue, but one was a cybernetic prosthetic.
The teenaged boy just noticed how it focused on a little unnaturally.
"I was told to meet here," The boy replied,
The woman stood up and gave him a small bow before motioning for him to sit, "Hello, I am Agent Furi Wamu; I work with the Exotic Assets Division of Japanese Homeland Security."
The blonde girl smiled and waved, "I'm Aiko Miyazaki," she played with a large purse.
Wamu looked over a file, "Hiro Takachiho, normally in the middle of this kind of crisis you'd been ignored for more urgent matters. If not for your proven genius that has ranked you amongst some of t smartest minds on the world at the age of 11, you wouldn't be here."
"Thank You, Agent Wamu."
"I must say, your record is rather impressive, many calling you the next Tony Stark."
"I don't know about that."
"Your work in AI is quite impressive. Had Ultron not emerged, the way he did that research could have been allowed to properly developed."
Hiro gulped, "I can't take all the credit for that; most of that work was based on my brother's work."
Wamu flipped through his file, "I'm sorry about your loss."
"Thank you, and thank you for your department for helping me preserve what I had."
"You are a pride for the Nation of Japan; that's why when you contacted us alerting us that you had discovered something, we decided to listen."
Aiko smiled and took out a remote from her purse, turning on a screen in the room, "I've double-checked what you gave us. You are correct; when phenomena began, there was a spike in leptons."
"How is that important?" Wamu asked her.
"Leptons are believed to a type of radiation present when there have been dimensional breaches. Some of it has been seen in wormholes, and they were detected after the Pym Tech Incident." Clicking some slides, she showed some stats and pictures of incidents, including Thor arriving on Earth. "I've done a lot of research on both topics for my work. I was hoping to get in touch with Dr. Foster, but she has been confirmed amongst the missing, and Doctor Pym has gone to hiding since the Accords."
Aiko would have been delighted to have any chance to speak with Dr. Pym; his work has been a huge inspiration, the SHIELD leaks, and the Incident had shed a great deal of light for her, but she couldn't fill in the missing pieces.
Hiro asked, "You've confirmed that the "Snap" had other dimensional effects?"
"It would seem so," Wamu confirmed, "though the announcement from the Avengers still holds. As hard as it is to believe an alien arriving at Earth seems to fit, there are sightings of ships arriving before it happened. But this does show us more about how the Incident work?"
"Not only that," Aiko clicked her remote again, "we've turn satellites to scan for Lepton radiation, and this is what we have."
The screen flashes a map of the world; there was a bright spot over Wakanda, a few small areas worldwide, but there was an exceptionally bright one in New York.
Hiro motioned to it, "What about that one?"
"We were hoping you'd have an idea," Wamu suggested,
Hiro was at a lost, "No, I can't. It would require a massive breach or several breaches."
"Do you think it could be dangerous?"
"I don't think so; there is no evidence that Lepton radiation is dangerous."
Aiko shrugged, "Maybe not, but the kind of energy to pull of something like that would-"
"Arc Reactor," Hiro pointed out, "Tony Stark's has kept that energy to himself since the event of the Invasion, but it's possible that with it he could generate enough energy to accomplish any sort of experiment."
Aiko pressed another button; it showed all Sort of data and readings centered on Avenger's compound.
"Is it possible to be dangerous?" Wamu asked.
"I've never seen anything like this, I can't be sure, but there are some worrisome reading here. I'd need to see what's happening to be sure."
"Is it a danger to Japan?"
Hiro hesitated, "Maybe, honestly, I'm not sure. This is brand new; there is no telling how any of this would react."
Wamu paused, "That's what our scientist said. Without knowing more about, we can't let it pass and hope for the best."
"What are you saying?"
"The Avengers have lost the world's trust, and we have gotten unconfirmed rumors that fugitive Steve Rogers has been spotted in the area. There are even rumors that Secretary Ross has vanished in the area; he was a notable proponent against them."
"Yeah, that doesn't sound great."
"With all that's happened, the American government is barely communicating with the outside world, and it's very likely that they have gone rogue and are attempting something potentially dangerous for unknown reasons. We were afraid of that. We have an offer for you?"
Hiro blinked, "What?"
"We want you to investigate first hand,"
"Do you think they'll just let me walk in there?"
"No, but sneak in is another story."
Aiko smiled like the cat that swallowed the canary. "That's where I come in; I'm not just a beautiful face with a brilliant mind; I'm also one of this country's top agents. Agent Honey Lemon at your service."
Wamu explained, "We do not force any enhanced individual to serve their nation, but we do ask at times ask for volunteers. You are one of the few people who could decipher what is happening there; Agent Honey Lemon will accompany you and assist you."
The man moved before Hiro.
"Baymax!" Hiro stopped him.
"He would be allowed to accompany you," Wamu adds, "I have others who will join you and help you. This could lead to events even worse than Sokevia."
Hiro shut down the hologram that made Baymax look like a normal man, revealing a white armored robot. The robot that his brother worked on meant to pull people out of dangerous environments, and when he died, he finished it. Hiro programmed it; he had even used some of his father's memories and emotions into Baymax's programming. When AIs were outlawed, the Japanese government should have taken him away and destroyed him, but they let him keep and helped him hide him. They would check on him once a week, ensuring that Baymax wasn't malfunctioning or acting dangerously; otherwise, they let them be.
With that in mind, he felt he didn't have an answer, but, "I'll do it."
Author's Notes: So yeah. That major message across all of the My Hero Earth has had some consequences. Some people looking into the multiverse managed to notice and have started to trace it. Missy, Alexis and Kirby are on a bogus journey tumbling through the multiverse as something seems to be following them.
People note I'm not taking request anymore, I'm not adding worlds. I got this planned out to the end. If you guys want to write some stories in other worlds and how they're dealing, I'd be happy to give you guys a shout out. Maybe even make them canon with the wider world.
Luthors are up to stuff that will hopefully reveal itself soon. And the Avengers seem to ready to check in on other universes in person. And it looks like someone else on their Earth is moving against the Avengers
Leave a review telling me what you guys think. Also, have any of you guys started to watch or read a series mentioned in this fic? What has been your favorite to see here? Also, this fic has a TV Tropes page so check it out and help it grow.
Okay, so I'll answer question and identify any worlds that haven't been stated.
World List:
The Void: Okay not a universe, the blank space outside of all universes. It was mentioned in Doctor who and I like the name, same name for the empty space between galaxies.
SF-5802-SBR: The SCP universe, well one of them. SCP universe is weird with time travel, multiple universe and reality warpers. First seen in ch 13.
S-BT-1117: The World of Symbionic Titan, a show ended too soon. Seen in ch 23
T-A-2007: The world of Transformers animated, a couple of years into the future and after the season four that never actually got produced. Seen in ch 38
SM-630: The world of the one known as Sailor Moon! Seen in ch 32
OPM-817: The world of One Punch Ch 8
TSS-103: The world of the Secret Saturday, another show cancelled too soon. Man Cartoon network screwed over a lot of series. ch 33
TMM-112000: The world of Mew Mew Power, post ala mode but before the new series since I still don't know the deal with it. CH 45.
MLATR-81: The world of My life as a teenaged robot, a bit in the future with some development I thought would be interesting. In ch 35.
Questions:
JupitersMoon167: Yup, Kirby is on this trip.
Acosta Perez Jose Ramiro: Thank you kind words are always appreciated.
RightHandofPalpatine: No. I don't actually like Star Wars, I never saw clone wars and don't know enough to even try and write them.
Spartan-140: I've said it before, yes but not right away. I have dozens of worlds. It would be very crowded if every world just showed up. I have to bring them at the right time or the story falls apart.
Saramus92: I don't know enough about Winx to do it, and I'm not planning on adding more worlds. Too many as it is, if anyone wants to write a winx story i the middle of this we can talk.
Maximum Rhapsody: All of that is spoilers. Just like all of that. If I answered any of that you could figure out my plans. Like, seriously.
Luiz4200: Most excellent!
Dung: There, have some SCP. But you won't see them again for a while. I gotta introduce everyoine at the right time or the story falls apart.
Darthwolf: Okay, that idea was actually pretty good. There it is.
Hypnoyoukai: Regulator? What? Please don't assume I know everything. That sounds like a reference to something.
Redpeppermc: Anon reviews take a while to appear, I can approve them to that but I don't moderate unless a person if being rude or cussing. So that's why it appears later. Exactly who would go? HP, Pokemon, and Ducktales don't have universes jumping tech and nothing that would really seem like extra helpful for the cause. Plus the Duck have in canon seen humans and freaked out, so not a good idea to join in. GF Ford might be useful but he'd be focused on protecting his family and I am doing another story for him I've been delayed in.
Guest: I don't know those series and I am not adding more worlds. Its been stated in the summary.
Nameless: Thanks for the review? You were really all over the place. Honestly kinda sounded like you were giving me backhanded insults. And please be patient people, some character will show up when it's right.
Raxius: No, Red Son won't show up. First, in canon he's retired because the world thinks he's dead. He might be dust. And No on the Boys. I don't like deconstructions or ultra violence. Also, the Boys don't have anything to get them to other universes, really only have two power houses and we will be getting plenty soon. Plus Scout is looking specifically for people they can work with, every superheroes there except maybe two would not get along with the vast majority of characters already introduced. There is no reason to contact them.
DeltaGamer: Yeah, Don't know Bioshock. I know a little about the characters. They might have been dusted.
