Berlin; Germany: Nazi Headquarters
1943
The world is at war and it is in full swing as it is happening on all fronts; Berlin is a hot bed of activity in which an old style vehicle arrives in front of Nazi Headquarters followed by motorcycles escorted with uniformed females in Nazi uniforms, the driver who happens to be female opens the door as a menacing woman in a Gestapo uniform steps out of the vehicle and glares around for a moment, then he motioned her guards to follow her inside.
The guards flank her as they go inside, in which all the male guards cower in fear but manage to salute her and she saluted back in a standard Nazi salute, her heeled shoes clicked the clean floors and she passed by several check points in the building. Until finally she has come upon the meeting room as he motioned for her guards to remain outside in which she steps inside as a man wearing a Gestapo uniform whom is her superior a General. They both salute each other.
"What is the nature of the mission?" said the woman
"I want you to capture this man," said the general as he shows her a picture
"Just capture him and what is he wearing," said the woman
"We do not know," said the general "Baroness, he destroyed one of our bases fairly easy, we believe he is a new type of American soldier,"
"Indeed," said Baroness "If we capture him and have him for our cause Germany will be unstoppable, where may we find him."
"Our spies' report he was last seen in Australia, outside of Sydney," said the general "You have your orders now go,"
"Yes sir," saluted the baroness
She takes the picture, then stands up and walks out of the meeting room, as she motioned for her guards to follow her and ordered to have a plane fueled to head to Australia, along with contacting their Japan allies to use one of their bases in the pacific. All of them nodded and headed into the parked car, she got in and then drove away with motorcycle escort away from Nazi Headquarters.
Washington DC: War Department
1943
In America itself at the heart of Washington DC as the city itself An American uniformed Caucasian male who is a major, along with a yeoman first class who is a black haired female who is almost in uniform as well. Both of them saluted with a firm hand upon their foreheads. Sitting at his desk is a middle-aged male wearing a general's uniform, Brigadier General as he does paper work and then salutes them both with a firm hand, then the major and the yeoman sit down.
"A few days ago," said the General "A Nazi base was attacked and destroyed,"
"Wonder Woman," said the Major
"That was we thought at first," said the general as he hands them a photo of a man "According to our spies, this man was responsible in the destruction of the base,"
"How can one man destroy a Nazi base," said the woman
"We don't know," said the General "But he could be a powerful alley, knowing the Germans they will want to capture him. Your orders are to recruit him and stop all possible threats to this man's life understood."
"Yes, sir," coursed the both of them
"Then dismissed," said the General "And god speed,"
All of them saluted in which the Major ordered to have some troops to join them and have a plane ready also, the yeoman nodded in which unknown to anyone she is Wonder Woman, but she will carry out her duties. She did wonder who is this man is. She will figure it out later.
Australia: Outside of Sydney
1943 24 hours later
Wandering in the desert with no name seems like an understatement of the day; however Gordon Freeman doesn't mind it as he had never been to Australia before. Being in this country in the 1940's seems a lot different as the one-free-man noted at this and when he came to this dimension he encountered a Nazi base in Spain and the guards there attacked him,
but Gordon managed to destroy the base and kill all the guards. They thought he was some kind of American solider, but he is far from it. He then realized he is in World War two once again, not wanting to alter history he decided to stay out of his way
He could leave this dimension any time he wanted to, but to see the sights in a different way in the past is a rarity indeed. Gordon had never been to the Australian outback. In his dimension Sydney and Melbourne are known as city 99 and city 101, but those cities were trashed by the Combine during the seven hour war, both cities are now part Antarctica. Due to the climate changes to his Earth. The outback is peaceful and quiet in which he walks down the paved road to the city of Sydney, there is few traffic.
Australia: Inside Sydney
Even when the world is at war the city of Sydney is left untouched by the war as spies are everywhere, in the U.S embassy Diana Prince, Steve Trevor have walked out of the embassy posing as tourists and not to far away are troops, both of them decided to split up to find this mysterious man for recruiting in the war effort. Diana transformed into Wonder Woman by twirling around. In the German embassy, the Baroness and her people walk out in which they are determined to find this man and a possible recruit and if not she will simply kill him.
Gordon Freeman walked inside Sydney as he noticed the city is still a lot more different in the 1940's then it is now in his dimensions future time, people and tourists are going about their business considering in war time there is always time for fun and relaxation, although he noticed a few people are whispering could there be spies even he does not know at least not yet. There is no combine influence or activity in this dimension
"Excuse me," said a woman who came out of the shadows and she is dressed in some sort of costume "Your life is in danger, if you want to be safe, come with me."
"I'm just fine," said Gordon "I don't need your help,"
"I wasn't asking," said the woman "I'm demanding,"
"And who are you suppose to be," said Gordon
"Wonder Woman," said Diana
"Doesn't ring a bell," said Gordon "So I will be on my way,"
Wonder Woman uses her magic lasso and tries to corral Gordon in which he caught it in his hand and flings her forward right to him and then throws the lass aside for a moment, then he pushed her to the ground.
"Back off," said Gordon
"It's not nice to do this to a lady," said WW "I was sent here to recruit you, you can be a big help in the war,"
"I already know all about the war and its future," said Gordon "So no, not interested."
Before Wonder Woman can say more a sleeping dart hit her in the back of the neck as she slumps to the ground and another person comes out of the shadows dressed in a Nazi uniform as several women are the same as well in which she looked down to smile at her hated enemy Wonder Woman.
"So you are the one that destroyed our base," said Baroness "I'll will give you one chance join us or die,"
"How about neither," said Gordon
"Very well," said the Baroness "Kill him and take that armor he has on it may prove useful," the baroness watches as five women go on the attack "I assure you my women are well trained, even more than a match for a man,"
The five women go on the attack at the same time as Gordon blocked all of their hits and attacked right back with a series of ninja and kung-fu moves in which they are taken by surprise as they couldn't even make a dent upon his armor, Gordon kicked one in the chest and punched another in the face, a third tried to roundhouse kick him but Gordon grabbed her leg and broke it and punched her in the face, the last one tried to jump on top of Gordon as he side stepped and crashes into the wall.
"Back off," said Gordon "I have no interest in joining any of you,"
He takes out his gravity gun and fired at the baroness in which she is propelled backwards into a nearby parked car as her body crashed into the window, her people helped her up and knowing they are out matched retreated. Gordon went back to check on this Wonder Woman as she is sleeping like a baby so he hoisted her upon his shoulder and walked off with her in tow as he wondered if she wakes up.
Later that day
Wonder Woman also known as Diana Prince eyes opened as she found herself in a room as she isn't alone and there is food near the table as the man is there as well whom she tried to recruit him, she looked rather annoyed as she got up and he is standing there.
"You know for a super heroine," said Gordon "You sure don't know how to watch your back Diana Prince,"
"How did you know," said WW
"Easy," said Gordon as he handed her, her wallet "Next time don't leave your wallet in your costume, seriously who dresses like that and here is your lasso back,"
"Oh," she said as she felt a little embarrassed "I am Diana princess of the Amazon's of Paradise Island,"
"Seriously you're an Amazon warrior," chuckled Gordon "You look like one of those pin-up girls,"
"I am not," said Diana "Who are you?"
"Dr. Gordon Freeman," said Gordon
"We need your help in this war," said Diana "You said before you know about the war and it's future, what did you mean by that."
"I cannot say," said Gordon "It will be best to find out on your own,"
"It's the duty of your country," said Diana
"As far as I am concerned the country I know in my dimension is dead," said Gordon
"What do you mean another dimension," asked Diana
"It's a long story," said Gordon
"Why have you come here," said Diana
"It's a even longer story," said Gordon
"Perhaps I can help," said Diana
"No," said Gordon "I made you something to eat, I will be leaving anyway and perhaps one day we will meet again."
Gordon opened the door and walked out of the room as he used his suits portal device and simply vanished into thin air, Diana also known as Wonder Woman ran outside to find him gone, completely gone. She went back in to eat the meal as it tasted great and if he came back one day she would treat him to dinner.
Los Angeles 1970's
Diana had come back from her people's island after about 35 years and had become a member of the Inter-Agency Defense Command but on this day she decided to take a day off and go for a walk in Los Angeles in which her thoughts were on Steve Trevor who she had fallen in love in the 1940's, but she had to leave after the war was over with and had just recently discovered he has a son who looks like him.
It is a warm summer day as she is walking the streets of Los Angeles as she is still amazed in how man's world has changed since she last saw it, then something out of the corner of her eye caught her attention. She sees a face that disappeared a long time ago a man named Gordon Freeman and he looked the same as he did during the war, she found a cross walk and decided to follow him in wondering why he hasn't aged a day and why is he here.
Gordon Freeman is just walking around Los Angeles as he had picked up the paper from before and noticed it is thee 1970's, so he tossed the newspaper aside and stopped as he felt like he was being followed and noticed it was here, she still looks the same despite different clothing it's Diana Prince Wonder Woman.
"You look the same," said Gordon
"So do you," said Diana "It's been a long time, I tried to find you but couldn't,"
"I left this dimension," said Gordon "But decided to visit,"
"I owe you a meal," said Diana "Let's get a bite to eat, so we can talk,"
"I told you before it is a long story," said Gordon "Ok sure,"
Gordon and Diana headed to the nearest place to get something to eat as they sat down in the back, in which their meals are on the table.
"I am up for a long story," said Diana "The people I work for have seen strange things before,"
"Might as well," shrugged his shoulders
He started explain about himself as he is or was a native of Seattle, Washington life in which he always had it's ups and downs since he got a job to join Black Mesa research facility, as he told them he was an orphan with no parents in which the only thing that people found on him at when he was found on the door step of an orphanage is his name and nothing more.
Gordon explained that he was already regarded as the quiet type and willing to adapt to any situation until he was in his teens as the orphanage at first put money away for him to go to college considering how smart Gordon is who is willing to learn and grow upon in life.
His childhood heroes were Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking, and Richard Feynman because books were his friends in which that is all he had. He told them about an exhibited an early interest in theoretical physics, especially quantum mechanics and the theory of relativity. After observing a series of teleportation experiments conducted by the Institute for Experimental Physics at the University of Innsbruck, the transmission of matter became Gordon's obsession.
He told them he had no known dependents. As he explained he graduated from MIT with a Ph.D. degree in Theoretical Physics. His doctoral thesis on the teleportation of matter through extremely dense elements was titled Observation of Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Entanglement on Supraquantum Structures by Induction through Nonlinear Transuranic Crystal of Extremely Long Wavelength (ELW) Pulse from Mode-Locked Source Array.
He told them he took up residence in Black Mesa however his job in general in regards was nothing more than a joke like manual labor, despite his qualifications. Consisting of little more than pressing a button and pushing a cart as he found that to be a little embarrassing at times, but it paid well and Gordon often wondered if he would be doing this utter nonsense for the rest of his life. At time he spent in Black Mesa he only said a few words and kept his mouth shut most of the time, he considered himself a little anti-social being an orphan and all.
An inter-dimensional rift in space time happened and his world changed forever, as he told them in detail in which he became something he would never thought in becoming. A hero, he never dreamed he was one. In which he explained he survived all the challenges and got the respect of a few people for his acts of bravery. Then he wound up in another dimension called Xen and doing battle against an alien warlord named Nihilanth
He told them to never mind about the name, as he told them he killed the alien warlord and then he was confront by a being he despises the most, the G-man. The people noticed in the room how angry he got with that name. He was given a choice to live or die in a form of a deal. Gordon did not want to do either, then all of sudden the choice was made but not by him. No it was the G-man himself. Gordon explained in detain It wasn't until two decades later he had learned the G-man put him in a place far from time, space, thought and even Earth itself.
The G-man stated the right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world it wouldn't be an understatement it is a fact as Gordon found himself in the middle of the occupation by an inter-dimensional alien empire known as the Combine. They in fact conquered the Earth in seven hours thanks in part to a traitor named Dr. Wallace Breen, that name alone made his blood boil. Then he went to explain uprisings, creatures and other things as well in which began as Gordon helped in many ways often doing battle against combine forces until finally driven out of his dimension.
Then finally he explained after the death of a friend of his, his other friends went off to the artic in finding a ship owned by Black Mesa had survived and after discovering technology like the Hazardous Environmental Suit that was on board the Borealis Finally told them he went on several adventures in other dimensions
Diana eyes widened in shock in which she is expecting a long story but nothing like this, so she quietly eats her meal and Gordon does the same as the tab is paid and they walked to the back alley.
"I wasn't not expecting that," said Diana
"You wanted a long story and you got one," said Gordon
"I can see you are telling the truth," said Diana "It's your eyes, I wish you good luck," she gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Good luck to you too as well," said Gordon "Perhaps I will meet others like you,"
Gordon and Diana go in their opposite directions afterwards as Gordon left this dimension by his own means.
