Back on Earth Erik had been institutionalized and was trying to explain the convergence to the patients in his ward.
"The universe rotates on a five thousand year cycle, and once its cycled all the worlds align." Erik picked up a shoe and held it up. "Imagine...imagine that this is our world, and...and..." One of the patients hands him another shoe. "Oh, thank you. And this is another world. Normally they're separate, but during the alignment everything is connected. All Nine Realms, all Nine Realms are passing through each other and gravity, light, and even matter, is crunching from one world to the other." He demonstrated with the shoes by smacking one on top of the other repeatedly. "But if this happens to us now, the result would be cataclysmic." He then put the shoes down and picked up two pencils and held them up. "My gravimetric spikes can stabilize the focal point of the Convergence." He put the pencil down and picked up the shoes again. "This time the alignment, and all the other worlds, would just pass up by. It's beautiful. It's simple. Any questions?" The patients in the ward were carrying on with their activity, no one has really taken any notice of him, then one of the patients, Stan Lee, interrupted.
"Yeah. Can I have my shoe back?" Stan Lee said.
