AN: Hey guys :D So this is my first ever fanfic, exciting times I know, and I'd like it very much if you guys are patient with me as I figure out how to do this. I've had this story in my head for years, but never got around to writing it until now. Be nice and reviews are always welcome. :)

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THIS STORY: THIS STORY WILL NOT BE ABOUT THE CATEGORY STATED. BECAUSE OF HOW THIS WEBSITE WORKS THE WAY I WILL BE UPLOADING THIS IS VERY STRANGE.

This is part one of the story and is not set in any fandom as of yet, but I will be doing more than 3 crossovers which makes it difficult to categorise correctly. Sorry for any confusion but the story WILL be in this world eventually, promise! :)

Oh yeah, and except Altaïr, this is mine, ALL MINE! MWUHAHAHAHA


Just a normal field trip


"Do we have to go on a stupid physics field trip? I hate physics."

I stared at my friend Alice and replied, "oh quit whining. It's not like you will be paying any attention to what's being said, you'll be too busy reading fan fiction or something."

Her previously pouting face turned into a grinning one as she bounced up and down with excitement, "you won't believe the amazing Harry Potter one I just found! It's about…"

"Stop!" I said cutting her off loudly and waving my hands wildly in crossing motions, "I don't want to hear it!"

The pouting face returned, "why not?"

"Because I have about 12 fan fictions on the go at the moment, I can't start reading another one! One of them is over 100 chapters long!" I exasperatingly informed her.

"Yeah you can, one more won't make a difference."

"I'm not getting into this argument again, so zip it!" I insisted firmly. We have had this argument a lot if I'm honest. As full time university students we really should cut down on how much time we spend reading fanfictions, saying it is one thing, but actually doing it is another story. So far all we had managed to do is give each other more suggestions of stories to read, really not helpful.

"Fine," she grumbled sulkily.

We sat in silence for a while before I couldn't take it any longer. So I nudged her with my shoulder and said, "cheer up, we are going to one of the coolest science facilities in the world!"

Alice rolled her eyes, "only you could get excited by the thought of getting a tour round a science facility."

I stuck my tongue out at her, "you agreed to come!"

"Only because there weren't enough people for the trip and I haven't seen you in forever because you've been across the bloody ocean!" she exclaimed throwing her hands in the air.

"You still agreed to it," I told her giving her a pointed look. She returned it before huffing and going back to her work. "Whatcha working on?" I asked peering over her shoulder.

She pushed me away saying, "I'm having to write a report on the trip I went on over the summer, you know, the safari one."

"Oh yeah. That sounded amazing. Although minus all the animal conservationy work you had to do with it."

She snorted and replied scathingly, "ditto with this and physics."

"HA!" I shouted and turned and point to her, "so even you admit this is cool!"

"Well yes, the idea of time travel sounds cool," she said somewhat begrudgingly. I opened my mouth to begin the taunting, "if they can get it to work," she butted in pointing her pen at me. Then it was my turn to pout and mutter, as nobody has any idea if the research at the British facility will come to anything at all, let alone successful time travel.

Before we could debate any further our field trip leader stood, informing us we were nearly there and we should gather our belongings. As Alice so helpfully pointed out, there weren't many people who got excited like me at the idea of a university physics trip, so our bus of students wasn't exactly big, about 20 or so people including the teacher.

As I was about to lean down to get my stuff, Alice leant over me to poke her head into the aisle and asked me if he was my lecturer. "Nope," I replied, "not really sure who he is to be honest. I think he is in charge of the higher physics stuff; remember I've only finished my foundation year. I might be passionate about it but it doesn't mean I'm decent at the subject."

I shoved her off me so I could reach down to get my things and with a miffed sounding "hey," she did the same. As the bus rolled to a stop I teasingly said "is for horses," and was rewarded with another eye roll, "not that again." I grinned and escaped the bus before I received a worse punishment for my lame jokes.

I realised with an internal groan that, in my efforts to escape the wrath of my little Hufflepuff friend, I was one of the first ones out, looking like a right keen-o. Not what I wanted when the guy I had been crushing on for months was also on the trip.

I decided to study the scenery, the facility was built after the announcement of the detection of gravitational waves – ripples in the fabric of space-time. The proving of Einstein's theory opened many possibilities and the G.E.W.R.F was dedicated to exploring every aspect of the new scientific development. Don't ask about the name, it's an acronym for Gravitational Einstein Waves Research Facility, and I think it was made simply to make people sound ridiculous when attempting to say it.

The facility was located a few miles away from Boulby Underground Laboratory, as it used the lab for some of the more dangerous experiments and was crucial in initial stages of the research, when results were more unpredictable. The area we were in was very open, green fields as far as the eye could see one way, with the coast to the right, and a very impressive looking building in front of me. Alice chose that moment to walk over to me and comment with a large smirk, "wow. Someone really wants to go see the fancy science building."

I grabbed her shoulders and lightly shook them whilst repeating, "time travel Alice!" in her face. Once again Dr Goslin butted in, this time with a little speech about safety and staying in at least pairs, almost boring me to death I swear. "Sounds just like my mother he does," I quietly whispered to Alice causing her to snicker, although apparently not quietly enough as I suddenly found myself under the scrutiny of the Dr asking what is so funny.

I scrabbled for a reply for a few seconds before responding, "I was just telling Alice about how sensible of an idea that is because there are dangerous experiments going on inside and we don't want to get caught out by one" I said as innocently as I could manage. He knew I was bullshitting him, but he let it slide as he knew I actually happened to be 100% correct about the danger, and continued with his speech.

"Nice save," I heard someone breathe almost inaudibly to me, I turned to see my physics buddies Lauren and Sarah, I couldn't tell who it was so I just grinned and mouthed 'I know'.

Dr Goslin bustled us along to the entrance where we were introduced to our tour guide and taken around the facility. I was soon informed that, due to the nature of the experiments occurring and that the danger is too large, we weren't allowed to see the time travel labs and as a result I sulked around the remainder of the facility.

Alice noticed my moody behaviour and told me to cheer up as it was still cool in here. I was in such a funk I couldn't even bring myself to come up with a witty retort to her calling it cool. "I hate being disappointed like this," I told her, "this is the thing I was looking forward to seeing. It was basically the only reason I decided to come."

"Well . . . maybe we can sneak off and go see," she said carefully. I slowly turned to her.

"Are you suggesting we go off unsupervised and walk around the highly dangerous building to look for the most unpredictable and volatile labs on our own?"

She was silent for a few moments before saying determinedly, "yes."

"Oh I have been a bad, bad influence on you haven't I?" I asked with a smirk.

"Yes you have," she said firmly, grabbing my arm, "and if we are doing this we need to go. NOW!" While everyone else was preoccupied she dragged me away and we walked until we located a map and found an area that was unmarked. We determined that it was the labs we were looking for and set off in full ninja mode, staying silent and out of sight.

When we found the lab - named Einlab-1 because they are clearly amazing at naming things here - we stared through the glass for a few moments, looking at a fairly empty room with a few people in lab coats milling around a giant tube shaped machine with whirring sounds coming from it. It looked like it was made of a bunch of huge metal coils about 3 meters in diameter and took up most of the length of the room.

Suddenly we heard voices floating down the hall and after listening for a few seconds determined it was our group. We had a hushed conversation and decided to stay put and say we ran ahead because we were so excited, better to look keen than criminal. This didn't go down too well but it was the lesser of the two evils so we took the lecture on the chin and carried on.

The guide was explaining all about the science of the machine when we noticed we managed to walk in on an actual test to see if it worked! Unfortunately, I ended up standing towards the back while we peered in and waited for it to start, so my view wasn't as good as I'd wanted.

Suddenly there were arms around me and a hand over my mouth. I couldn't move or yell and I was being dragged away from my group kicking and squirming, trying my best to get free. Although prone to violence, standing at 5 foot 6 I am not a particularly large teen, so I scanned the room franticly looking for something to help me out against the big men that were dragging me away and found nothing to aid my struggle.

I realised then that they were taking me into the lab with the machine! Didn't they know it could go horribly wrong?! That we might die from being in there?! Apparently not as they opened the door, 'stupid idiots. We are so going to die', and dragged me inside. I saw a swirling grey vortex inside the tube of the machine, 'it certainly looks like it's working' I thought to myself.

It's only as they came to the machine that my fellow students finally noticed my predicament, but it was too little too late as I was knocked out and thrown into the vortex to the sound of Alice screaming my name.


Alice's POV

The guide was explaining how they created the time travelling machine and the physics behind it, as a swirling grey void forms in the middle of the machine. I couldn't make heads or tails of it, being the only non-physics student I can't keep up with some of the language he was using. So I turned around to my ever so helpful friend to ask her to explain in a way I could understand. "Hey Georgia…" I paused. She was no longer standing next to me. 'Where did she go?' I asked myself, I paused for a second and groaned, 'I really hope she hasn't decided to sneak inside for a closer look. One of these days she is going to get herself into so much trouble'. I scanned the crowd to see if she had just moved, but I failed to see her.

I then noticed a commotion inside the lab, a girl was being brought through the door of the room, I immediately realised something was off because this girl was not going quietly, kicking and writhing against the two guys escorting her. It was a very suspicious scene. Then I caught a glimpse of the girl's face and I gasped. It was Georgia! But why was she being taken into the room, and towards the machine at that?

I pushed my way to the front of the group to get the teacher and a closer look. I was about to say something to the teacher when the two bulky dudes knocked out my friend, any semblance of calm left my body as I screamed "GEORGIA!" at the top of my lungs. The others quickly moved their attention towards the room and I heard the lecturer and guide gasp loudly.

"What is my student doing in there?" he demanded loudly. The guide just stammered and stuttered, obviously he didn't have a clue. At this point my friend's limp form was thrown into the machine and she just vanished. I heard a scream of despair and it took me a second to realise it was my own vocal chords making the sound.

My eyes were fixed on the point my friend just disappeared from in a state of shock, so I was surprised when I was bundled away by a group of large men wearing black. I didn't want to be taken wherever these men were trying to drag me, they wore the same clothes as the men who just threw my friend into an unknown experimental portal.

So I fought back as much as my irritatingly small body could manage whilst screaming abuse at them. I managed to nail one of the bastards in the balls before I was completely restrained and dragged with the rest of the group. They led the university group, at gunpoint when the teacher started getting pissed off with them, into a separate room that had strange, circular, mirror like objects lining the walls, the door closed behind us with a sharp snap, even the door was covered in the strange objects.

Said walls started humming a few moments after the door closes and I looked around as students suddenly collapsed to the floor one by one. I panicked, 'what is going on here!?' I mentally wailed as I tried to force the door open. Then out of nowhere my mind went blank and I blacked out, dropping to the floor.


AN: Thanks for reading!

Altaïr: Oh! So this is how-*mmph* (Georgia claps a hand over his mouth)

Georgia: SHUT UP ALTAÏR! They don't know yet and you can't give things away! You don't come until later, so shhhhhh.

Altaïr: *muffled sounds*

Georgia: Will you be quiet? *Altaïr nods head with a death glare* Good. (Georgia releases him) *Altaïr scowls and stalks off* Sorry about that guys. Enjoy the next chapter! :D
