Apocalypse Game

A/U: As stated in Chapter One, I don't own anything, however the fact that my character later becomes Thor, I don't Thor either. The only thing I own is my character and True Earth. Thanks to all of you who read and review, your opinions make a difference.

Chapter Six

We were standing around a machine that was called the Bridge of Worlds, Q had used it to bring the X-men to here when one of the far out planets developed a mutant problem and they had been called to help, this device is also known as the Entrance to the God's Kingdom, which is said to be a rainbow walk which Thor used to walk to get to Midgard.

"So this is the Bridge of Worlds?" I asked, "This machine can open a gateway to another world for enough time to get help from each of the worlds?"

"Yes," said Q, "However it does have a limited time opening of an hour to an hour and a half, and if we don't get help in that time period then whoever goes in has to come out in time for the gateway to close."

"Q," I said, "Right now you are leader, and in my good conscience I can't let you go, I will go and ask for these people's help."

Q's wife than appeared on the scene bearing food and drinks for all, sandwichs, cookies, coke and water, she saw me and smiled just like a mother would to any son.

"John, my husband and I decided that when all this started we would concider you a surrogate son and you would be under our care," she said, "and as your temporary mother now, I can't in good conscience allow you to go in and do this, you are barely an adult and yet you are still a child in our eyes and we care."

"But, but," I sputtered, "I am the only one who truly know's these people, I have read the comics and I believe that I can convince them."

"John," Said Calvin, "You and I are like brothers concidering that you and I are close in age, I believe that it would be better if Hobbes and I went to talk to the Goddesses and the X crew."

"Okay," I said, "Than I will operate the machine and hold the gateways open as long as possible."

"Right," Said Q, "Let's get started."

He turned to me and asked "John, you are sure that you want to become one with the machine for about three hours?"

"I can handle it," I said, "If I die because of the stress than I die, and that doesn't matter."

I stepped up to the machine and got in it, Lady Q came up and kissed me on the cheek, I strapped in and started up the process, the gateway to Tokyo opened up and Calvin and Hobbes went through.

"Hope lies upon those who are yet the future." I said.
