"Ohh… my head…" Deadpool grumbled.

"Don't talk about that…" Pinkie strained.

*chirp chirp tweet!*

"Alexis? What are you doing here? And where's the author?"

GUYS! OVER HERE!

The three of them looked over to see a resident door attached to what looked like a closet and made their way over there.

Wade: Okay, DudebladeX, what the hell happened?

Dude: Okay. So… Remember that whole thing about a series 'going meta' and how it essentially means that the characters are in real danger and all that?

Pinkie: I think I wasn't there for that. It was in the early double digits or something.

Alexis: Tweet… CHIRP CHIRP TWEET?

Dude: Well guys… Welcome to Shatter-World. Or more accurately… Meta-fied Aftermath.

Wade: Shit… Okay, we need the rules of how this whole thing works. We can't be taking any more risks.

Dude: Well, as long as everyone's here, death isn't cheap anymore. You die, your carcass has to be hauled around until you can get back into classic Aftermath space, where you have to be manually put into the rez chamber and then you're back.

Pinkie: I'm guessing that people with limited ammunition for their weapons don't have bottomless pits for their arsenals anymore.

Dude: Yep. Some might have to worry, others might not.

Wade: I'm guessing that some powers work and others don't?

Dude: Powers should work as they are. But given that Fate and Strange haven't fixed anything, and that the same can be said about Lantern, Ben, or any of the resident Reality Warpers, that they're either downed or weakened.

Pinkie: Well, that's not good. What about the others in Classic Aftermath space?

Dude: They're in semi-meta territory. Death is cheap there, but without the resident heavy hitters like Vegeta, Spidey, Dante, Bayo, or Samus, they're in hot water. Whatever caused that rip in reality must be pretty strong.

Alexis: Tweet tweet chirp?

Dude: Beerus and Galaxia are working on it. Hopefully, they aren't heading in the wrong direction. This office space is also semi-meta territory. Just… Try not to die. Rezzing here isn't as easy or simple as rezzing back in classic Aftermath space.

Wade: Well… We can at least check in on the others, right? You've got a viewing screen here. We might be able to check up on the others, like Goku and Superman, or even the others that are in the classic territory, right?

Dude: Yeah. If I could just get the damn thing to work!

Wade: *Slaps screen, causing Goku and Superman to appear on-screen*.

Dude: … Showoff.

Wade: Bite me.
