After thanking road guy, I head in the direction that he tells me is east. After all, if I am in Worm dreamland, I might as well head to Brockton Bay. It just wouldn't be the same if I didn't. Seeing as how I still have a country to cross, and the desert is starting to turn into grassy plains,I need a list of things to do after I arrive in the bay and before I wake up. Let's see, punch Shadow Stalker/Sophia Hess in the face? Of course! Piss off Coil? Why not. Give Taylor a hug? Well, it's not like anything could be worse for her. Seeing how I'm in a super villains costume, I might as well spar with the Protectorate. Earth Bet had comics right? Well, they probably won't recognize me(or more accurately my costume), but I'm in a dream, so it's not like anything I do will have lasting impact. I was planning on writing a Zoom/Worm crossover sometime in the future, so I might as well. Might give me some good ideas. Who should I fight though? Velocity should be fitting enough, after all, red speedster lol.
I'm so lost in thought that I almost don't see the trucks before I hit the front one.
When I regain consciousness, the first thing I think is 'I guess that auto speed adjust doesn't happen if I'm distracted'. The next thing I notice is this sticky stuff stuck on me. Is that containment foam? Where ever they placed me, all I can see if the roof of the truck we're in, and there's no doubt it's a truck, bumping along as it is. There's also a noise, like if you slowed someone down, and then multiplied that by 100.
I don't think this is a dream.
It takes what feels like 5 minutes to calm down enough that my power isn't out of control to hear what the voice is saying.
"-and of course, assaulting a birdcage convoy is only going to get you there as well, especially when you destroy the front truck." The voice is mocking, condescending, and generally what you would expect from someone who see everything else as dirt. I would move, but it's not like I can go anywhere. Wait, did he say birdcage? What's the last thing that happened?
"Awake now, are we?"
Oh, right. Everything turns blue as I go into relative time to think things through. Okay, so I somehow ended up in worm. Can I remember my name? It's Luke . I said my name was Luke . Hun. Last thing I remember before the desert is going to bed. I thought CYOAs were precursed by old spice ads and shady apps you swear you don't remember downloading. At least, I'm going to assume I'm a CYOA. I wonder what my complications are?
No, focus. We can find out what I have later. I don't think I'm in Skitter mode, 'cause the revised one said crossover powers aren't allowed in skitter mode, and the other one would probably let me escape by flexing my powers.
But am I Zoom or Professor Zoom? The latter means I can escape anytime I want, whereas Zolomon had to 'affect the time around him to go to the point where there was no wall'. I seem to be horribly nerfed, so I don't know if I'm fast enough to phase, or can time jump like Zolomon. Doesn't matter, unless I want to test my lungs against the supposed vacuum the birdcage is in, I'll need to find out now. Well, if I wasn't on the radar before, I will be now. Why couldn't I have an old spice app or Javascript hack? At least then I'd be prepared.
