Freeman's Odyssey
Chapter: 91
To White Forest
Outskirts of City 17: Formally known as Seattle, Washington
"Hey you," said a female voice to his left "Did you just leave Ravenholm."
"Huh," said Wally as he looked at the woman to his left "Yeah I did,"
Standing before him is a half-Asian/ half-African American woman in her mid twenties. She has brown hair with a brown headband, a blue jumper shirt with a brown jacket and blue jeans along with a pendant around her neck. Next to her is some sort of large robot made up of spare parts that he has never seen before. She looked at Wally with a raised brow in wondering who is man is considering no one goes to Ravenholm anymore.
"Who are you?" asked the woman
"I'm Wally West, Kid Flash," said Wally "But I changed my name to White Flash now,"
"You mean that hyperactive jerk," said the woman "On the Justice League,"
"I uh…think you mean Bart," said Wally
"I know from Gordon's logs stated that a Kid Flash died about a year ago in another dimension, saving the world and all," said the woman.
"Yup that's me," said Wally "Grigori told me he found me lying on the streets of Ravenholm and kept watch on me, I recently woke up and time had passed," he paused "Do you know of Gordon Freeman and the Rebellion of light,"
"I know him and this rebellion of light as you would call it," said the woman "I think Grigori is still crazy, never met the guy, but I had heard stories. My name is Alyx Vance and this is my bodyguard D0g."
"Woof…Woof," said D0g "Dog like running man,"
"Uh….ok," said Wally
"So where are you headed," said Alyx
"No idea, just looking for Gordon and the Rebellion, I got to stop talking like that crazy priest," said Wally
"Well Gordon isn't in this dimension," said Alyx "At the moment due to the fact he is warning other dimensions about the threat the Combine poses, he does visit from time to time. Be glad I was passing through looking for spar parts or anything I can salvage."
"What happened to the city," asked Wally
"War happened kid," said Alyx "And the toll it has taken,"
"But what if the Combie come back," said Wally
"Due to recent events they won't be coming back," said Alyx "They cannot come to our dimension anymore and the remaining Combine forces here on Earth have been destroyed, as two of their strongholds remain, City 88 and City 666."
"So Gordon has been to my dimension," said Wally
"Oh yes he has," said Alyx "It's a long story, why don't you come with me. I just finished and will be heading back to White Forest base,"
"Ok, sure," said Wally
"Follow me if you can keep up," said Alyx "D0g, rocket mode,"
A pair of rockets morphs on the back of D0g and she climbs on, she winked at him and climbed on D0g, then flies off in the direction to the east. Wally used his speed powers to follow her from the ground as there is a lot of junk in the way and creatures as Alyx mentioned that she will escort him to white forest base that is a long journey to get there and the both of them left the outskirts of City 17 formally known as Seattle Washington.
City 35: Formally known as Dallas Texas
A day went by as they both know they have a long way to go and decided to make a pit stop in Dallas Texas, known as City 35 and a location near where they landed is the old Dallas Cowboys stadium that the combine converted into a space port after the 7th hour war. Anyway the both of them wanted something to eat, Wally walked around with Alyx as people looked, scared, angry and worried.
Is this what the Combine does to other dimensions, in which Alyx mentioned humanity in this dimension cannot have children due to the fact they have been exposed to the Combine Suppression field for over a decade and humanity in this dimension cannot be cured as Gordon has been trying to find a cure, without any luck. Along with that as Alyx had told them after the 7th hour war the Combine gathered the world's children and slaughtered them all. He is only about a few children that survived.
This spurred him into an angry gaze, but Alyx gave him a comfortable shoulder to reassure that if the Combine ever comes back they will fight to the very last person. As this generation of Humanity will be the last and are willing to accept that they will be the last. Wally softens up a bit and these Combine are worse than the Reach or even the light themselves, his thoughts pondered on if the Combine had invaded his own dimension.
After getting something to eat and rest, they set off once again as it is a long way to White Base and Alyx informed him that the Combine made many changes to the landscape of Earth, due to draining all the resources of the planet itself. They met some resistance fighters along the way and some Vorgunites as they used to be prisoners of an alien warlord that is an ally of the Combine.
Five days later: White Forest base
A few times Wally got lost and Alxy had to show him the right way to get places as they passed by dozens of cites and crossed the Atlantic Ocean that seemed to be smaller than it once was. Alyx told him the Combine drained most of the Earth's water supply from the oceans and then while Wally is speeding on a long winding road and Alyx is flying on board with D0g, there is something far up ahead in abandoned city another one of those towers and it looked destroyed.
Finally they have reached the perimeter of White Forest base, as there are guard's armed ones too and then once they reached the base itself the gates opened and Wally noted this place is well defended. An armed person came towards them as Alyx knows who it is and smiled a bit in which he is part of the resistance forces and is a survivor of Black Mesa incident and fought in the 7th hour war. He is 42 year old Adrian Shephard.
"So your back," said Adrian "And you brought a costumed weirdo to here that Gordon's logs always mention,"
"White Flash," said Wally "formally known as Kid Flash, call me Wally."
"Oh you're the kid who is the boyfriend of Artemis, who died saving the world or something," said Adrian
"Well I'm not," said Wally
"Adrian stop interrogating him," said Alyx "Where is Kleiner and Magnusson,"
"In the lab like always," said Adrian "If you are looking for Barney he went of on a scouting mission to check out the defenses of city 88, as we are all ready to strike it soon."
Alyx nodded as she motioned for Wally to follow him into the main lab of the base, and headed inside. Both of them can hear a lot of talking as it is coming from one of the offices as she knows they are arguing about this and that like always. Opening the doors to the office lab, she predicted correctly as the two doctors are in the lab and looking at the technology that they acquired from the Borellis
"Ok you two," said Alyx "You can compare penis sizes later,"
"We were not," said Kleiner
"Just science and nothing more," said Magnusson
"Anybody I should know," asked Kleiner
"Hi, I'm Wally West the-"said Wally
"The Flash, yes, yes," said Kleiner "The fastest man alive and all of that, what is with your costume. Gordon did mention your costume looks like a ketchup."
"He calls himself Kid Flash or White Flash now," said Alyx "He was in Ravenholm,"
"Oh the other one," said Magnusson "The slow one,"
"So do I get to meet Gordon Freeman," said Wally
"Of course," said Kleiner "In fact he is about due for a visit right about-"
A portal opened up as Gordon Freeman steps out as the portal vanishes behind him and Gordon noticed there is a bit more company than there is.
"Is there something I should know," said Gordon
