"So he finally did it?"
Asked a middle aged man as he glaced at his passenger a look of surprise in his face.
"Yes, he did."
Answered the woman in the passenger seat sporting an amused look, at the look of disbelief in her partner's voice.
"I always figured he wasn't the guy who would do something like that." Answered back by the driver.
"And why not?" Questioned the woman.
"Well, Andrew never striked me as a romantic." Answered the man.
"He's plenty romantic Phil. How are you and that cellist?" Answered the woman.
"Were good, she's still a bit paranoid about the ex. She thinks it's a good idea for us to move in together." Answered Phil Coulson as he overtook another car at the interstate.
"And you dont think thats a good idea because…?"
"I'm not saying its not, I just dont feel comfortable dragging her into all this. Civilians don't really mesh well in our cloak and dagger life." Answered Phil.
"Andrew's doing just fine adjusting to my work."
"May, hes the psychiatric consultant for SHIELD he's not really a civilian. Besides how did your mom react to the whole engagement?"
"Oh she kept saying 'finally' like we've been a relationship for ten years. Of course once she found out everyone found out." answered May with a smile.
"Glad to hear that mama May hasn't lost her touch."
Answered Phil as he noticed they were a few feet from their destination. "Here we are." He said as he parked his car on the sandy side of the road.
"You know why the Director sent the two of us here." Said May as she got out of the car. The black suit she was wearing was specially out of place at the almost desert heat of the location where they were at.
"He wanted it, on the down low." Answered Phil as he examined the dry ground which looked like someone bloody was dragged in it.
He glanced to where it went and noticed a large cactus tilting a little bit.
"Looks like a Van hit it." Said May as she examined the scene. "Our 0-8-4 seems to be wounded."
"And a good Samaritan helped and whisked our subject away." Answered Phil.
"And why was this important to the Director again?" Asked May.
"Nothing, he just thinks it's an Alien." Shrugged Phil.
"Ohh."
###################################
Jeffry opened his eyes and what looks to be the inside of a vehicle. He knew instinctively that said vehicle was moving.
His trained eyes roamed around when suddenly the familiar blue window appeared in front of his vision.
TUTORIAL COMPLETE
500 POINTS OBTAINED!
Well that would have been useful a few minutes ago. Dismissing the window away he took in the details of the back of the vehicle. He noted the interior of some sort of recreational van. Scattered laundry indicates a female owner. A laptop on the corner connected to what he thinks was a bootleg inter transceiver.
He wondered why an old laptop was connected to a system like this, the laptop looked like something his brother had back in 2006. He slowly sat up and noted the makeshift bandages covering his body, made from some torn clothing probably owned by the woman who owns the van. The bandages themselves had a lot of dried blood in them.
He wondered if this all came from him. He slowly undid the bandages. The dried blood sticking them together like and adhesive. After much effort he was able to remove them all. He ran his hand and was amazed at the unblemish skin.
This was without a doubt what the full restore could do. He remembered that he only has one of those per day. He mentally made a note to make sure he only used it for emergencies.
He glanced everywhere, a habit that he has ever since he was a hitman. He noticed something odd in the corner.
A calendar with a random picture of a lion on top. What was weird about it was not the picture, it was the year and month that it was on.
February 2007.
He knew that the last time he saw the date it was , April 6 2017. So either his rescuer is extremely lazy or he's fucking back in time.
He calmed himself and took a deep breath, he argued that seeing the date on a calendar may not necessarily mean he's back in time.
He then heard the radio.
'Good Morning America its that time of month once again when one of the most advanced technological countries in the world bows down to the judgement of a gerbil.
'That's right America it's Groundhog day once again, it's gonna be a crazy day ladies and gentlemen so allow me Trish Walker to accompany you in this oh so special day. Just a fair warning if you hear this again and by god you are stuck in a loop so be careful America!
Jeffry tried to remember the exact date when groundhogs day actually occurs he knew that it was sometime in the beginning of february. So it wasn't April anymore that he was sure, he still wasn't sure about the year yet.
'Time travel shenanigans aside we will be taking in our first caller in a few minutes but before we do that., let's start the day with some emo rockfest from the band whose name sounds like exotic Meth. So here's My Chemical Romance with their chart topper Welcome to the Black Parade.'
'When I was a young boy…'
Jeffry remembered that song, how could he not, his brother Kevin had it playing in loop when they were room mates. That was back in 2007. The radio dj mentioned it was a chart topper. He has never heard of a song staying a chart topper for 10 years, so right at that moment Jeffry knew that he was back in 2007. And apparently it was february.
Dying to your lover then reviving in a new world at February what a fucking joke. It seems like the universe has a sense of humor or at least the guy who runs it. What a douche.
Looking at the bloody bandages he questioned whether or not he really died or just got transported. He wishes it was the latter, at least his family has closure once they find his body. He shuddered at the body count if they had no idea where he disappeared to.
They'll be okay he reckoned, his family never really cared for much with the subject of 've always accepted that when you gotta go, you gotta go. Every death was natural no matter what the cause. This was his family's principle.
But that won't stop his mother from moving hell on earth just for her kids. He quietly reminisced that time his sister failed an assignment and was caught by the yakuza. The things he saw his mother did still makes him cringe today.
Jeffry sighed to himself and accepted the fact that he was indeed back 10 years into the past. The question was, is he still in the same past that he already knew. Are the Myer's a thing in this universe.
He then remembered something that he saw on his status back when he was asleep or whatever state he was in, he wasn't really sure. On his status it said that he was 18 years old. As far as he remembers he was a lot older when he first experienced 2007.
Speaking status Jeffry quickly cycled through the commands the tutorial gave him. He quickly looked at his status, skills and lastly his inventory.
Once he got to his inventory he saw something that he was sure wasn't there before.
On the five slots of his inventory, the first one had the Dotanuki katana that he used to fight the orc. Next to it was a yellow and red chest. He hovered his hand over to check on the details.
Newbie Chest 1
Unique
Once opened it will randomly select from the hundreds of starting kits available in the game.
Contents may vary.
Can only be obtained after completion of tutorial.
Jeffry looked at the chest in excitement as he motioned to open it with his hand.
A red chest with yellow trimmings encrusted in gems, the size of a large cooler two feet in height magically appeared in front of him.
He opened the clasp and as he looked at the contents that are visible so far, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at what he saw.
'How convenient.' he thought as the contents were more or less in line with the life that he has left behind.
He noticed that there was a note on top of the items. He picked it up and it looked like a list of everything that was on the chest.
Junior Boogeyman kit
DTA SRS A1 Sniper rifle x1
DTS SRS A1 5 round Mag, .338 Lapua x10

Tactical belt set with 15 mag pouch attachment x1
Combat folding knife x1
iphone x1
Continental sim card x1
Continental gold tokens x130

Looking at the list Jeffry couldn't help but wonder if this was just mere coincidence or whoever sent him here wanted him to succeed. Aside from everything he didn't know what the two Continental items were for. The tokens looked like gold coins of some sort. He'll have to look at the handbook later if he wants to make sense of it all.
Jeffry was so engrossed with what he was doing that he uncharacteristically didn't notice the van has not been moving for awhile now.
"Ehem.."
Jeffry was a bit startled as he just now noticed the state of the vehicle he was on. Judging from the image from the windshield they have stopped at the side of the road.
And in front of that vision was the black haired teenage girl who was driving the van. She was looking at him very curiously with a slight grin on her face.
"Uhh hi?" Jeffry awkwardly greeted his host.
"How did you make that thing appear out of nowhere?" Asked the girl.
Jeffry sighed as he realised what she has seen.
"Well, it's a long story." He answered.
"Will your story include how you went from 100% dying to blemish free skin in a few hours?" Answered the girl.
Jeffry just shrugged " Sure, you up for breakfast? My treat it's the least that I can do."
"Why not.."
****************:*:*'*'**''*'*'*'*'*'*'*''*'*:*:*:*:*:*'*""*"*""*'*'*'****
Unknown location
The dripping sound of liquid echoed to the room. The faint hum of some sortof machine was concluded by a loud ding.
A man slowly stood up donning his bloodied coat as he read the results on screen.
With a disappointed sigh he walked back the metal table across the room. In the table was the naked pale body of a blonde teenage girl, her eyes was devoid of life as dried tear marks are on the side of her cheeks.
She was bound to the metal table by her hands and feet. Her wrist had deep cuts as blood slowly dripped from it and flowed from the table to a nearby container.
"Unfortunately my dear your as normal as everybody else. Although your blood does taste like cherries I'll give you that." Said the man as he lifted the container filled with blood and drank the liquid within.
**""*"*""*"*"*"*"*""*"*"*"""*"*"**"*"***"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"
Diner...
"Let me get this straight, you're a 35 year old hitman who was shot by his girlfriend for killing her brother, then you woke up in a white room where you can buy everything. Fought and killed an Orc, but not just any orc a Warcraft Orc. De aged to 18 years of age and transferred back from to 2017 to 2007. Possibly from an alternate universe which you are still not sure yet. Ohh and lets not forget you also got turned into an RPG character with stat leveling and possibly questing." Said the teenage girl sitting across the table at a silently eating Jeffry as he eat another piece of his scrambled eggs.
"Yeah sounds about right." Answered Jeffry as he continue to cut into his bacon.
The teenage girl grinned and took a quick sip from her coffee. "Do we have flying cars in 2017?"
"Not that I know off, we pretty much have the same mode of transportation. Besides I've read a lot of stories like this, they usually get transported to alternates or different worlds altogether." Answered Jeffry.
"I never knew hitmen could be fans of webnovels." The girl answered.
"So how many hitman's do you know?"
"Just you, although I did meet a blind guy who moved like a ninja back in new york."
"Not all assassins have ninja moves you know. But seriously blind?"
"Yeah I know, I sometimes think he's just pretending to be blind, anyways now that I remember I think he's in law school now so ,, no you're the only possible hitman that I know."
"Possible?" Said Jeffry with a raised eyebrow.
"Well you said you are. Everything you said after that was bordering crazy talk."
" You remember what happened to the chest didn't you?"
"You got a point, where did the chest go?"
"I placed it back in my inventory."
"It's crazy how casual you just said that statement." The girl said as she took a bite out of her sandwich.
There was a moment of silence as the two teens just ate into their breakfast on the somewhat empty diner. Outside the sun has just barely risen people are starting to fill the street going about their day as usual.
Jeffry glance to his left slightly as he chewed on his meal slowly. Despite everything that has happened the last 24 hours he was still thankful that he was looking at another sunrise.
"Thank you by the way." Jeffry said as he looked at his saviour.
" Pshh it's nothing, besides I almost ran you over. Any decent person could have done what I did." Answered the girl.
"But then again it was you who did it, you didn't have to drag me to your van. But you did, so for that I'm thankful." Answered Jeffry. "You never told me your name, you already know mine. I thinks it's only fair you gave me yours."
"Itsbecauseidonthaveoneyet" the girl mumbled.
"Come again?"
"I dont have one yet, I'm trying to think of a name. I hate my given name so I decided to change it." Said the girl.
"Good for you, I'm sure you'll think of one eventually." Said Jeffry. He then glanced the girl's features. "You know when I look at you it kind off reminds of a tv show my sister is nuts about"
"What's it about maybe I know it."
"Nah I dont think its been released yet. so there was this girl she was this , I don't know computer geek or something. She has this quest where she wants to find out who she is and what not. Along the way she meets people that she can call friends. Almost dies couple of times and then she found out her name was Daisy."
"Daisy? That's kinda lame."
"Good thing I'm in a different universe my sister would practically run you over, if she hears you bad mouthing Daisy. I think she has a name before that, it sounded kinda cool I just can't remember what it was, it starts with an S or something." Said Jeffy. Trying to remember.
"What like Sahara?"
" No it's, shorter rolls of the tongue real good." Said Jeffry and he glanced out the window into the sun slightly rising to the sky.
"Ohh it was sky, yeah her name was sky."
"What like the sky, sky?"
"Yeah the one up there with clouds. I think she spelled it with an E."
"Skye.."
The girl thought about the name and honestly it does roll off the tongue easy. She then remembered the nights where she was looking at the stars wondering who she really was and if her family was just out there.
"Ok Jeffry, You know what, from now on my name is Skye."
"Seriously? What happens if that show comes out, won't people ask you why you have the same name as a tv character."
"Please alot of people have the same names as tv characters."
"Well yeah, they usually use real life ones, you haven't met anyone in real life named buffy have you? " Jeffry answered and getting only a shrug from the girl. "See my point exactly."
"I dont care, the name just seems to be the right fit so I'm taking it."
" Alright, Skye you can do whatever you want."
"Well of course , anyways you have to tell me what happens in the future. Like do we finally get a woman president. Come on lottery numbers. Come on Spill it." Said Skye.
"We haven't even established if were on the same universe."
"Fair enough, world war 1 and 2 happened." Answered Skye.
"Same, Cold war?" Asked Jeffry
"Happened as well, how about 9/11?"
"Ohh that happened too, we had Bush. After that we had Obama."
"Seriously? Wow, well there are reports that he'll run. It's either him or Matthew Ellis." Answered Skye.
"Who the hell is Matthew Ellis? I'm pretty sure I recognize every politician's name since 2006 and I have never heard of of a Matthew Ellis. Although it sounds familiar though." Answered Jeffry.
"Really? He's a pretty popular governor. He might even win next year. Hey maybe you are from an alternate universe."
"Yeah.." said Jeffry as he tried to remember where he heard that name Matthew Ellis before. Knowing every politician was something that he needed to do because of his day job which was being a private bodyguard. He knew there was no governor by that name. But he was also pretty sure he's heard of if before. After a few moments of trying to remember he finally recalled when.
It was a movie, a movie where the president of america which was Matthew Ellis was kidnapped and tied above an oil tanker.
His eyes then slightly popped as he realized something. That movie was Iron man 3. If there was a Matthew Ellis here there was a huge chance that there was also an Iron man here. He just needed to confirm.
"Okay so that's one difference. Ummm Skye is there a list of successful companies in the US?."
Skye looked at him confused, still she flipped open her laptop turned on her wifi and searched for the list.
"So what exactly are we looking for."said Skye.
"Can I see?" Asked Jeffry.
Skye handed over the laptop to Jeffry while looking at him oddly.
Jeffry scrolled through the list. The first few names where they were expected companies like Microsoft and Apple are still there. And then he saw the confirmation that he needed.
Stark industries, Pym technologies and Roxxon Energy Corporation. He was in the MCU. Movies that he was nuts about. Shit. He glanced at the newly christened Skye who was looking at him waiting to know what he was looking for. He then remembered that show. He personally never liked the show but he did remember that they were supposed to be tied into the MCU.
Jeffry then remembered what just happened earlier. He was thinking to himself. While looking at Skye.
'Did I just give Daisy Johnson her hacker alias?'
"Hey, Skye what are you into?" Jeffry asked as he hander the laptop back to Skye.
"Ok, that's a weird question to ask." Answered Skye noting the suddenly awkward question.
"No, I didn't mean it like that. I mean what do you do? Like what you're good at? That kind of thing."
"Well as long as I'm with a computer and its connected to the internet I can hack almost everything that's connected to internet."
'Oh shit, its really her.' thought Jeffry. Does he tell her that he came from a universe where she's just a character on a tv show? What would happen to the timeline if he did tell her what's gonna happen to her life a few years from now.
'Well she did save my life, maybe learning the truth would be better for her' he argued with himself. And with resolve Jeffry was ready.
"Skye remember what I said about being from an alternate universe?"
"Yeah"
"From what I've seen so far that's 100% confirmed."
"Oh man, that means you don't know the future?"
"Its the opposite, in fact I know quite alot what's going to happen in a few years."
"Alright, Im listening."
"Well let's start with, a few years from now coconuts are going to be so overpriced that watermelons will go on strike. What!" Jeffry suddenly says he was surprised that something different came out from his mouth.
"Excuse me?"
"No that's not what I was trying to say. What I meant was in a few years ducks will enslave all of squirrel kind by hording all of the world's nuts. What the…" Jeffry didn't know why what he was thinking was coming out differently.
Skye looked at Jeffry as she obviously noticed that what was happening was not normal.
"It looks like something is not allowing you to disclose the future."
Jeffry was glad that the girl got his situation right away. "Its seems so."
"Can you try to fight it?"
"I'll try."
Jeffry then slowly thought of what he was trying to say he thinks of a situation that had major implications to the world. He immediately thought about the invasion in new york.
"There is going to be a In..sale...Inva...promo...invasi…" Jeffry struggled as he tried to say what he wanted.
"Ok Jeffry stop". He heard Skye said but he didn't stop he was so close to saying it.
"Seriously Jeffry stop trying to say it." He heard her say again but he was so close. Just a little more.
He then felt his face splashed with cold water as he looked at Skye holding a empty glass pointed at him. He was wondering why she would douse him with water when he noticed something was dripping from his nose. He touched it and noticed that it was blood.
Was trying to disclose the future harmful to his health. He quickly took a peek at his HP and noticed that it was missing a bit of health points.
He looked around the diner and everyone was staring at them. Well Mainly him.
"Sorry everyone, I'm alright just a bit of a headache that's all. Just needed the cold water everything's fine." He said as he awkwardly waved at everyone looking at him. He sat back and faced Skye who slowly put down the empty glass in front of her.
"It looks like telling you anything about the future is a no go."
"But you were able to tell me that part about Obama."
"Alternate Universe right? He might not even win here."
"Ok so let's not talk about the future then. I just saved your life. Very counterproductive for you to just die because of something like that."
"Well I may not be able to tell anyone about the future. But I think I can somehow affect it."
"Why, would you want to do that? Haven't you seen Back to the future? Isn't that dangerous."
"Well if you don't really know what's coming how would you know if I messed it up?" Said Jeffry
"You do have a point, maybe that was the main reason you got that crazy rpg powers of yours. What if you were meant to change things here?" answered Skye.
Before Jeffry was about to respond a boy interupted their conversation.
"Excuse me, can you take this please. My sisters been missing for 4 weeks now and just contact that number if you recognize her." Said a boy who looks to be 12-14 years of age as he hands out a flyer to Skye.
The flyer had the picture of a blonde girl who looks to be no older than 17 or 18 years of age smiling at the camera. Below the picture was a name. Patricia Grace Alberts and the contact number in case she was found. Mentions a reward but no denomination was written.
Skye looked at the flyer and then looked at Jeffry. She has played a lot of Rpgs and they always have quests given by random people. She hands the flyer to Jeffry and asks him to just read it.
Jeffry just took the flyer with a shrug and read the flyer. Nothing seems to happen but then a familiar window appeared in front of him.
Quest Obtained
Missing or Runaway
-Find the missing girl and learn the truth about her disappearance.
Contains hidden objectives
Possible point reward 1200-345,000
Cash reward $150-$200,000
Jeffry shouldn't have been surprised at seeing the quest appear but he was. Even more surprising was the amount of points that he could possibly receive. It's possible that it was related to the hidden objectives that was mentioned.
"Did it work?" Asked Skye.
"How did you know I was gonna get a quest?"
"I've played alot of RPGs this was how people usually get quests. So you're gonna look for the girl?"
"I'm still thinking about it. The reward was pretty big for it to be easy."
"What do you mean?" Asked Skye.
"Well the highest possible reward money is $200,000. Thats a lot of money for just finding a teenage girl who's not in anyway related to a royal family. It could be dangerous but I'm inclined to do it."
"So when do we start?" Said Skye.
"What do you mean we?"
"Come on, you honestly have the potential to be a superhero, do you think I'll pass this front row seat to your origin story. No way. Besides I can be a lot of help. I can probably make you an identity. If you really came from another world you probably don't exist here."
"Okay, but you are going to be strictly my ears and my intel. If this turns out dangerous. I mean dangerously crazy weird. I don't want you to be there. You're going to be as far from the action as possible. I can fight real good when it comes to it. I just don't need a distraction." Said Jeffry.
"Deal, this could be the start of a beautiful friendship" said Skye as she motioned for a handshake across the table.
"I hope I don't regret this." Said Jeffry as they shook their hands.
This was definitely the start of something.
***"""""'""""***""*""*"""*"*"*"*"*"""""*"*""*"*"*""""""""*"
A motorcycle stops at the front of a town sign just overlooking the town of Hasmouth.
Its rider a rugged looking man standing about five feet eight inches tall with sideburns on the side of his face looked at the town carefully with his eyes.
He pulled out a phone and dialed.
"I'm here, you sure this was the place." The man said.
"This was the last time I found his brain signature Logan. I hope you find him before he kills again."
"Do I bring him back alive Charles?"
"Please if you can. But I'm afraid if he endangers someone again, you may do what you think is necessary."
"Alright I'll call again if I need pickup." Answered Logan as he pocketed the phone. He turned his motorcycle on and rode into the town.
The hunt now begins.
