Freeman's Odyssey
Chapter: 100
Aftermath
Alternate Earth
Gordon Freeman had arrived in which the Doctor had provided coordinates as in where to meet them and moments later the TARDIS arrived in this alternate Earth, he stepped out with a defeated look upon his face in which he is carrying the body of Rose Tyler and set her body upon the ground as she looked like she had been shot in the back that went right through her body as the smell of burnt flesh is carried in the air and the Doctor learned toward the wall as he is breathing slowly a bit.
The one-free-man could tell by his surroundings he is in another Earth, as it is London and moments ago before Gordon and the Doctor had left the other Earth to overload the dark matter reactor and the Ark core, resulted in the Earth along anything aligned to it in the stream of similar Earth dimensions adjacent are destroyed as well. Gordon walking toward the Doctor as the time lord shows hurtful eyes in losing someone he loves dearly.
"I hope you're happy," said Doctor
"That the Combine-Dalek-Cybermen were destroyed," said Gordon "So yes I am,"
"Did she had to die," said Doctor
"I take it she died saving you," said Gordon "Then she is a casualty of war,"
"Look you self-centered bastard," said Doctor "I-"
"Let me stop you right there," said Gordon "I have a story to tell you and don't give me that moral-than-mighty bullshit,"
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 him 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 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 dozens and dozens adventures in other dimensions.
The doctor looked like his eyes were going to bug out of his skull as he heard Gordon explain himself and understand the man has gone through so much and then looked down at the body of Rose Tyler, he understands now she did to save him and the Doctor soften up a bit and takes a deep breath while calming himself down as he rubbed his forehead for a moment.
"I guess I understand now that you are going through," said Doctor "Sounds like you are already living in hell,"
"Come Doctor," said Pete Tyler "Let's go to Torchwood in my alternate and bury her with honors, she will be a hero,"
"Thanks I guess," said Doctor "And good luck to you Gordon, if you need my assistance I am not a hard man to find,"
"No problem," nodded Gordon
The Doctor takes the body of Rose Tyler in which he heads into the TARDIS with Pete Tyler in which moments later the TARDIS vanishes into the rift, leaving Gordon alone and pondering to his thoughts for the moment. Before all the nasty stuff happened he is in London and decided to go exploring a bit, as he will decide to get something to eat or drink before he moves onto another dimension.
A pub several hours later
Gordon Freeman sat at the bar, in which he is having a drink and finished it rather quickly, then someone sits to his right and he looks to be a gentleman of some sorts. He looks to be about 6 ft 190lbs with short but dark and dirty blonde hair and icy blue eyes in some sort of business suit, a blue tie and black shined leather shoes.
"Vodka Martini shaken not stirred," said the man with a flawless British accent
The barkeeper nodded and turned to look at Gordon
"One Jack Daniels on the rocks," said Gordon
The barkeeper nodded again and goes to make the drinks.
"Looks like you been through hell," said the man
"You can say that," said Gordon
"Been through a few hells in my time as well," said the man
"What as a waiter," said Gordon
"No," said the man "Guess the costume shop forgot your ghost costume,"
They get their drink as the man drinks his and Gordon drinks his as well
"It's something I always wear," said Gordon "I didn't get your name,"
The man takes out a cell phone from his pocket and checks out a text message as he sighs a bit and then puts it away as he put the tab on the bar to pay for both of their drinks.
"Bond, James Bond." said the man as he left the pub
Gordon nodded as he watched this man who calls himself James Bond leaves the pub and goes back to drinking some Jack Daniels as he will leave soon and he is pondering on the adventures he has far in which he thought to himself The Odyssey continues all the while the G-man lingers in the background, smiles and fixes his tie before vanishing into thin air.
