Alfred woke up to find himself in an interrogation room similar to what you would find in a police station. His vision was blurry and is mind was aching. He looked around trying to get a bearing of what's going on.

"Where am I," Alfred asked confused.

"Atlas police headquarters, in Interrogation room 32C. The last place we were before we left home." A familiar voice that had come from in front of him. In fact, the voice was almost the same as his.

Alfred immediately sat upright from that sound of that voice. He looked in front of him to see the same man he saw last night. The man who looks just like Alfred except for the color of his tie is black, he had a different emblem on his hat, and an eye patch over his right eye.

"Hello there Alfred. It's nice to see you again" The man said with a smile.

"This isn't real. This is just a nightmare" Alfred said trying to reassure himself.

"Oh, I can assure my good friend. I'm as real as you" he said.

Alfred took a deep breath. He knew that this was real, well as real as a figment of his imagination could be. "Alright Charles, what do you want"

Charles laughed for a moment. "What I want?" He asked chuckling. "All I want is to warn you"

Alfred gave him a confused look. "What are you talking about?"

"Warn you of me of course," Charles said like it was obvious, "You obviously didn't take my appearance yesterday seriously. So I figured we have a talk so you can understand the situation."

"I am not having a conversation with a figment of my imagination," Alfred said firmly.

Charles looked offended at this comment. "Excuse me sir, but I'm far from a figment of your imagination. I may be a creation of you and that big brain of yours but I'm real. I am a persona of you, an alternate ego. The other side of the coin from you if you will.

Charles leaned in closer. "Look, let's not kid around. I have been stuck a prison called your brain for far too long. I think it's time I take your body for a spin once more"

"So why warn me then? Why not just catch me by surprise" Alfred asked.

"Because telling you will make it so much more fun. I want to see you struggle with me, fight to keep control. I'm curious on how you will react when I start screwing with your team, that team KOVE you seem to have a rivalry with, and especially that Velvet girl who seem to have a crush on." Charles let out a small laugh.

Alfred took a deep breath to try and calm his anger but it wasn't working very well. "If you aren't any of them I swear to god…"

"You'll kill me? I'm afraid that would be considered a form of suicide" Charles reminded. He got up from his chair and walked towards the door and opened it. "This is a new chapter for both you and me Alfred. Oh and congrats on getting into Beacon."

And with that Charles left the room and close the door.

Alfred lurched forward to a sitting position in his bed breathing heavily. He closed his eyes and started taking deep breaths to try and calm himself. Once he was sure that he wasn't going to have a heart attack he took a look around at his dorm. He didn't get a good look at it last night, He kind of just walked in the room and crashed in the bed that wasn't taken.

There were four beds, two on each side of the room and were separated by a single large window. There were two tables with a single chair each on both sides of the door leading to the hallway and a couple of bookshelves along the walls. There was also a door on the left wall that Alfred assumed was the door to the bathroom.

He rubbed his eyes and sighed. He looked at the clock on the wall to see that it was about 6:00 a.m. So he had about 3 hours before class started at nine. He got out of bed and got some clothes to go take a shower. After about 30 minutes of taking a shower, he got changed in his school uniform and put on his fedora.

He looked at his three sleeping teammates and back at the clock. He noticed that one of them set an alarm for 6:45. Alfred smiled as an idea formed in his mind.

He quietly and quickly walked towards the clock and disabled the alarm. He went over to his pile of stuff in the corner of the room and searched it till he found his M1911 pistol. Alfred loaded a clip of ammo and sat down in one of the chairs.

6:42 Alfred took off the safety

6:43 Alfred cocked the gun.

6:44 Alfred aimed towards the roof.

6:45

BANG!

Lance jumped out of bed and landed on the floor face first with a solid thud which caused Alfred to burst into laughter.

Nate lurched forward into a sitting position and somehow had his weapon in shotgun form already.

"WE ARE UNDER ATTACK" Nate yelled as he fired a single shot on the opposite side of the door which caused Alfred to laugh even harder.

Vincent didn't have much of reaction to Alfred's dismay. He lifted his head, looked at Alfred and the gun he was holding, sat up and sighed.

Alfred didn't mind too much though, the reaction of his other two teammates made it all worth it.

"Morning fellas" He said with a smirk.

"What the hell was that" Lanced asked still lying face down on the floor.

"My new alarm system. What do guys think of it?" Alfred asked them.

"It's effective. Maybe too much" Nate said.

Alfred laughed. Outside the room, the team heard footsteps coming down the hall.

Vincent sighed, "Looks like we also woke up the neighbors"

Alfred didn't notice before now but Vincent still had on his black armor on his arm. By process of common sense, this meant that Vincent slept with the armor on.

'I'll have to ask him about that later' Alfred thought to himself.

There was a knock on the door a couple of seconds later. Alfred got up from his seat and answered the door. On the other side was Vlad, clearly angry from being woken up, and the rest of her team behind her. They all had their weapons out in case of an emergency.

"Good morning Vlad and company. What can we do for you?" Alfred said with a smile.

Team KOVE looked at Alfred, looked at the gun in his hand and then looked around until they saw the bullet hole in the roof of their room. They quickly connected the dots and put away their weapons.

Vlad walked up to him and sighed very angrily, "Of course its you idiots that would wake up everyone in a mile radius." She gave him a very mad look before walking off and grumbling "damn humans"

One of her teammates, Eaton, gave Alfred an angry look just like Vlad before following her to their room.

"Don't worry about them, they are just in a bad mood because they were up all night at a party. Plus Vlad spent a good 15 minutes before bed telling us how much she already hates you" the guy Alfred remembered as Oculus told him.

"Not even the second day and I already have people who hate me, fantastic." Alfred responded.

Oculus nodded, "Maybe not the greatest way to start the year, I'm Oculus by the way and this is my partner Koi" he said gesturing towards the girl next to him.

Alfred smiled at them, "Name's Alfred, it's a pleasure to meet the both of you, I hope that you guys are a little more … nicer than your teammates"

Koi chuckled, "As long as you don't do anything too stupid, we'll get along just fine." She replied.

Koi and Oculus said goodbye and headed off towards their room. Alfred closed the door to his room and looked back at his teammates. "So that was one of our neighbors," Alfred told them.

"Who was it?" Lance asked

"Vlad and her team, she didn't look too happy" Alfred answered.

"Great, just what we needed. Vlad pissed off at us more"

Alfred patted Lance on the back, "I'm sure everything will be fine, now come on. Class starts in 2 hours and you guys look and probably smell terrible."

They grumbled in agreement and moved around the room to get ready for the day. Alfred sat back down in the chair and put his hat over head as he prepared to take a quick nap before starting his first day in class.
