"Don't mind me, sir, but I'm uneasy right now. I'm seeing and experiencing things that are impossible and now I'm following a man that I don't know into an underground chamber."
The man raises an eyebrow. "I never said it was going down. You're new here, aren't you?" As the elevator has been going down the old man has been looking younger. The door opens and we get out. The man then begins questioning me. "How long have you been here?"
"Not long. I think just a day," I say.
The questions persist until the man says, "You know you're lying to me, right? You've been here 17 years now."
I laughed uneasily. "Hahahaha you're funny sir, but, um, that can't be true. I would remember 17 years of my life". Wouldn't I? As I say this I get a headache and start seeing random things. A planet. An explosion. A giant dessert.
"Well here's your file, my ex-boss was very interested in you". An alarm went off as we entered. A giant metal door in the chamber the door opened.
"What's happening?"Christian yelled.
"Sir, that attack party was just scouts," a troop said.
"Damn you, Bryan, you're too far ahead of your authority," Christian seemed like he was thinking out loud. He looked up and stared at me. "Time for a crash course. You are in Alta the universe between heaven, hell and earth. Because we are closer to heaven and hell some people have special talents and abilities. Society calls them Advanced Evolutionaries. You are part of a supposed extinct race. You age slower and you have traits no one has because you defied the only way to get here, to die. Now because people know who you are a group called AERO, my previous employer, wants to kill you and the rest of your and our kind, the AE's. Crash course done take this and go."
He handed me a deck of cards and pistol. "You know your name, right?"
I thought about that… "No, I don't… and go where?" I asked.
"Your name is Ace. You're going to a more secure base. Though I might just send you to your death, bye." Unknowingly Christian had walked me into a pad. All I saw was light and then I was in a new room.
The men there were freaking out. "Why did he send us someone now? We're getting killed out here!" The man talking threw me the biggest loop of them all. It was none other than James Logan. Wolverine.
"Excuse me, sir, Christian said I could help" I lied. Wolverine? Did Alta have every fictional thing imaginable?
"Good cuz your gonna go on a suicide run for me."
