A/N: Hey guys, I'm back again with another story. This story is set one hundred years in the future in the MARVEL'verse and is my own take of the Future Imperfect storyline. Again I do not own MARVEL or any characters used in this story besides my OC Rebecca LeBeau aka Plasma. Enjoy!
The Future Imperfect: Plasma - Issue #1
The future: Date unknown
The world had been ravaged by nuclear weapons and had been turned into a stormy and desolate wasteland, a grizzled old looking woman who had a scar over her right eye which was covered slightly by an eye patch was holding a cybernetic arm that she built out of scrap she had managed to scavenge to replace where her left arm used to be walked out of an entrance to a cave and looked across the wasteland before attaching her cybernetic arm and let out a sigh as she said to herself, "How did we let this happen? Alright Rebecca, time for this lass to fix her mistakes."
She then wandered across the wasteland with her faded, dusty maroon cloak over her shoulders and her rusty Bo staff strapped to her side and a rusty spear made from pieces of scrap she had scavenged over the years strapped to her back, she held a locator device in her right hand which was tracking a signal it picked up. Rebecca coughed a little as she breathed in some of the dust from the storm and said, "I should have built myself a respirator while I was building everything else."
Eventually she came across an old A.I.M bot lying in the dirt and she looked down at it and said, "You've certainly seen better days, this can't be what I picked up on my locator device. I should keep looking." and as she looked around the ruins where she found the A.I.M bot, Rebecca then saw one of Hank Pym's Pym bots that was slightly broken down and she let out a sigh as she said, "Don't think I will be able to fix ya, but hopefully ya have some information on Nick Fury for me."
Some sparks flew from the Pym bot as it looked at Rebecca and said, "I'm sorry miss LeBeau, Director Fury's current location...location...location…" before it shut down and Rebecca said to herself,
"Damn it! Luckily I'm picking up another signal, maybe whatever is broadcasting it can give me the answers I need to try and fix this mess."
So Rebecca followed the new signal she picked up as she continued to wander the wasteland, until she saw some A.I.M bots appear from the edge of a cliff in front of her before she said, "I guess A.I.M forgot to make sure you guys were offline, don't worry I can help with that. Although my powers aren't what they used to be, Bring it!" and her left eye turned a violet colour and readied her rusty staff in her hands as the bots began charging towards her.
As the A.I.M bots charged at Rebecca, she launched a few violet cards from her cybernetic arm at a few of the A.I.M bots which exploded on contact and the bots the cards had hit fell to the ground lifeless, meanwhile she then swung her rusty staff at some more A.I.M bots as they got close to her as sparks flew from them as they hit the ground in front of her lifeless and her breathing was starting to get heavy from all the fighting.
After Rebecca had cleared the A.I.M bots that were in her way, she took a couple of minutes to take some deep breaths and compose herself as she said, "Been a while since I fought hard like that. I better keep looking for this signal I picked up." before she then continued onward following the signal with her locator device. Eventually Rebecca came across another Pym bot and she let out a sigh as she said to it, "Ok, let's try this again and I need ya to stay awake this time." and the Pym bot replied,
"Ok, miss LeBeau." before it then added, "Director Fury's current location is...unknown." and Rebecca rolled her eye as she sarcastically said,
"Of course it is, Fury always was a difficult lad to track down, even at the best of times."
Then the Pym bot said, "There is more, a message." before it then began to play the message as a hologram of Nick fury appeared from its chest as he said, "If anyone is recieving this, then...I believe the worst has happened and the Avengers are gone. But I believe the key to saving our future, lies within our past..." before the message stopped and Rebecca said to the Pym bot,
"That's it? The hell am I supposed to do with a cyptic message like this? If only Wanda was still here, she'd know what to do right now."
Before the Pym bot then said to Rebecca, "Director Fury wanted you to see...see...see…" before it shut down again and Rebecca let out a sigh as she said to herself,
"Time to kick open more rusty doors I guess, and hopefully find whatever Fury wanted me to see."
As Rebecca walked up a nearby cliff, she came across a rusted door and kicked the door a few times before it flew open and she walked through and saw a somewhat working Pym bot and what looked to be some kind of time bridge as she said to herself, "The key to saving our future lies within our past. Fury you were one smart lad." and as Rebecca walked up to the console in front of the time bridge she let out a deep breath as she said, "Alright then, let's open up myself a time bridge, shall we?"
Before the Pym bot she saw when she walked in said to her, "I'm afraid the time bridge is no longer functional miss LeBeau, but it may have enough power for me to send a message through." and Rebecca looked back at the Pym bot as she replied,
"Well, let's do that then and...pray that someone picks up our message." before she then flicked a few buttons on the console in front of her which slowly started up the time bridge as it pointed up towards the sky, a jet then flew out from the time bridge…
A/N: And that's it for now, depending on how well you guys like this then I will be happy to write more. If you enjoyed this so far then please leave a review. Who came through the time bridge in the jet? Are they friend or foe? all these questions and more will be answered next time.
