New York City
Once again Gordon Freeman wanders in another dimension to find himself in New York City as there are some technological achievements. It looked like a bright and sunny day in the afternoon as native New Yorkers are going about their business in going to and from any locations. It seems some dimensions that New York City acts as a focal point in arriving here. He would expect stares from people but it seems it is not the case as he is wearing his suit.
But people seemed to be used to seeing someone in a suit or an armored suit for that matter, he spotted a very advanced looking tower that reads Stark Enterprises. Gordon mentally slapped himself upside the head as he has a pretty good idea of where he could be. Then suddenly he sees people gathering at where the television sets, along with view screens as well. Showing a man in black armor, who calls himself the Mandarin!
Gordon listened carefully as this Mandarin is saying this and saying that, the one-free-man suspected this could be trouble. World domination and all of that, Gordon walked away afterwards and used his suits teleportation program to beam himself to one of the rooftops of New York City, he can see this Mandarin who has god like abilities battling a heli-carrier….wait a heli-carrier as Gordon recognized the symbol of the heli-carrier and watched it vanished into thin air.
Using newly learned Ninja skills he jumped from roof top to roof top until finally he came upon two people on the ground, he recognized them both and then a third one shows up dressed as a black panther. Then something odd happened in which some sort of alien war ship shows up as he overheard in the back ground "The END OF THE WORLD is near" then Gordon sees some sort of alien drones have shown up to attack.
He springs into action by leaping off the rooftop and landing nearby as he can see several drones coming towards them as Gordon takes out his gravity gun and fired the device right at these alien drones as they are stuck in mid-air, with a secondary click they exploded by shattering into many pieces. Much to their chagrin the three of them looked on at awe looks upon their face.
"What," said Gordon "Never seen a guy with a gravity gun before,"
"Who are you," asked the black man with the eye patch
"Relax Director Fury," said Gordon "I'm an ally,"
"How do you know me," said Fury
"I've met you before, not just you, you," said Gordon "But another you,"
"That makes no sense," said the red-headed woman
"It's one of those long stories Natasha," said Gordon "Its best not to think about it right now." Then turning to Black Panther "The end of the world is not near, as long as we have something to say about it"
"Right," said Black Widow
"You words seem wise do you know of me," said Black Panther
"Of course I do," said Gordon "You're a king of your country," then he turned to Black Widow "So where is your boyfriend Hawkeye at,"
"He's not my boy friend," said Black Widow
"Sure he is," smiled Gordon
Then came Hawkeye he is dressed in his gear, then a large shadow jumped from out of no where and landed near them as he is just as big as D0g, the hulk but Gordon blinked in which he sees the hulk in a grey color. Finally Gordon sees three people in armor Iron Man, Rescue and War Machine. The armors look different and they look at Gordon for a moment.
"Computer scan," said Stark "This guys technology, extremis is picking up a lot of technology coming off of him."
"Technology unknown" spoke the AI
"His armor looks pretty cool, but the colors look kind of stupid," said Pepper "I don't know what that symbol means, he looks kind of dorky."
"Are you always this chatty Pepper," said Gordon "Better than the other one,"
"Tony this is creepy he knows me," said Pepper
Yes and no," said Gordon "It's one of those long stories, but you can drool over my armor later Tony. Let me guess James Rhodes is under that bulky war machine armor,"
"How did you," said War Machine
"I will tell you all later," said Gordon "Right now there is a world to save,"
They were then teleported by the rings to the ship and join forces with Gene to fight the greatest warriors but the fight was just a warm-up, then the overlord announced the champion Makluan and they had to fight him, they had no idea how to stop the powerful Makluan, then once they know that the hammer is the power, Tony then puts the hammer on force field while War Machine and Rescue shoot their unibeam to the Makluan, then Tony used the unibeam and take down the Makluan.
They were then teleported back by the overlord and again fought the Makluan forces. Once all the heroes united, along with the Black Panther, Tony has a idea to make two teams to take down the reactor core and take down the overlord. Team B consisted of Tony, Pepper, Rhodey, and Hulk and Pepper wanted to talk with Tony but Tony wanted to talk with his father who completed his canon and decided to use the space armor to attach the armor to the Stark1 satellite.
Gordon did his part by trashing everything all over the ship with his high powered weapons and the Makluan were surprised by how their weapons were ineffective by way of Gordon's shield grid, he of course destroyed the power grid to the ship and damaged the ships space fighters that were about to be launched as well. He left the ship in knowing there is a plan by teleporting out of the ship.
Once inside, they successful took down the forces and head to the overlord. The overlord demanded to fight against Iron Man but Hulk took the place but was defeated. Tony used Extremis since Howard couldn't and use the canon to temporarily disable the rings making the overlord weak. Gene was once again Mandarin and he shot the overlord again. Tony left behind defeating the overlord while they all leave with Gene teleporting them out of the ship.
When exploded, he was down, he announced that the invasion was over and everyone was surprised of the identity of Iron Man which is Tony Stark, Tony become surprised and worried, then War Machine and Rescue came revealing their identity too. Pepper tried to talk to him again but got interrupted by Tony when he kissed her on the cheek and hugged her.
Meanwhile the Mandarin returned everything back to normal. In the end, Tony, Rhodey, and Pepper on their armors rode around the city happy. Until they found Gordon standing there and waiting for the three of them to show up, in which Tony Rhodey and Pepper had landed near him and Gordon smiled at all of them.
"Great day to save the world huh," said Gordon
"So are you going to tell us who you are," said Tony
"Yeah like how did you know us," said Pepper
"Ok…Ok," said Gordon "My name is Doctor Gordon Freeman and don't bother looking up my name, because I don't exist in this dimension,"
"What," said all three of them as Howard Stark joined in as well
"I'll explain fully in detail," said Gordon "For starters Tony this is a Mark 8 Hazardous Environment Suit and the Lambada symbol means freedom." He went on in detail about his suit that amazed them.
He started explain about himself as he is or was a native of Seattle, Washington life in which he always had it's ups and downs since he got a job to join Black Mesa research facility, as he told them he was an orphan with no parents in which the only thing that people found on him at when he was found on the door step of an orphanage is his name and nothing more.
Gordon explained that he was already regarded as the quiet type and willing to adapt to any situation until he was in his teens as the orphanage at first put money away for him to go to college considering how smart Gordon is who is willing to learn and grow upon in life.
His childhood heroes were Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking, and Richard Feynman because books were his friends in which that is all he had. He told them about an exhibited an early interest in theoretical physics, especially quantum mechanics and the theory of relativity. After observing a series of teleportation experiments conducted by the Institute for Experimental Physics at the University of Innsbruck, the transmission of matter became Gordon's obsession.
He told them he had no known dependents. As he explained he graduated from MIT with a Ph.D. degree in Theoretical Physics. His doctoral thesis on the teleportation of matter through extremely dense elements was titled Observation of Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Entanglement on Supraquantum Structures by Induction through Nonlinear Transuranic Crystal of Extremely Long Wavelength (ELW) Pulse from Mode-Locked Source Array.
He told them he took up residence in Black Mesa however his job in general in regards was nothing more than a joke like manual labor, despite his qualifications. Consisting of little more than pressing a button and pushing a cart as he found that to be a little embarrassing at times, but it paid well and Gordon often wondered if he would be doing this utter nonsense for the rest of his life. At time he spent in Black Mesa he only said a few words and kept his mouth shut most of the time, he considered himself a little anti-social being an orphan and all.
An interdimensional rift in space time happened and his world changed forever, as he told them in detail in which he became something he would never thought in becoming. A hero, he never dreamed he was one. In which he explained he survived all the challenges and got the respect of a few people for his acts of bravery. Then he wound up in another dimension called Xen and doing battle against an alien warlord named Nihilanth
He told them to never mind about the name, as he told them he killed the alien warlord and then he was confront by a being he despises the most, the G-man. The people noticed in the room how angry he got with that name. He was given a choice to live or die in a form of a deal. Gordon did not want to do either, then all of sudden the choice was made but not by him. No it was the G-man himself. Gordon explained in detain It wasn't until two decades later he had learned the G-man put him in a place far from time, space, thought and even Earth itself.
Tony Stark's base: New Jersey
Having arrived at Tony's base he explained to them even more The G-man stated the right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world it wouldn't be an understatement it is a fact as Gordon found himself in the middle of the occupation by an interdimensional alien empire known as the Combine. They in fact conquered the Earth in seven hours thanks in part to a traitor named Dr. Wallace Breen, that name alone made his blood boil.
Then he went to explain uprisings, creatures and other things as well in which began as Gordon helped in many ways often doing battle against combine forces until finally driven out of his dimension. Then finally he explained after the death of a friend of his, his other friends went off to the artic in finding a ship owned by Black Mesa had survived and after discovering technology like the Hazardous Environmental Suit that was on board the Borealis
Finally told them he went on several adventures in other dimensions. Gordon finally cleared his throat as he stared at all of them in which he got stares back as if he had grown a second head, Gordon did check but found nothing at all. There is complete silence as all four of them are digesting this information until Tony, sighed, Pepper looked very awed, James Rhodes looked angry and Howard Stark looked concerned.
"Have you detected any of these Combine," asked Howard
"None detected," said Gordon "No, influences or activity,"
"So you met another me, in another dimension," said Tony "Is he like me,"
"Yes and no," said Gordon
"It would be so cool to go to another dimension," said Pepper "All that action and adventure,"
"And dangers as well," said Rhodes "You would have to be careful,"
"Ok how about I tell you all a story in how I met the other you and became an Avenger," said Gordon "The story begins,"
All four of them stand there and began to listen.
