My Girl

When Marc realized that Khonshu tricked them, he was fuming, and so was Steven.

"You said you would let us go!" yelled Marc.

"I said I'll let you and the worm free, never mentioned your third party." Marc and Steven both felt as if their stomach fell, the feeling of being played was devastating.

They found themselves on yet another mission. A mission they thought was long over, yet here they were, standing in a weird temple and the worst is that Layla was with them.

"Khonsu, you liar!" she yelled. "You said you would set them free!"

"Again, I never mentioned the third one, if he chose to work for me, that has nothing to do with you."

All three knew Khonsu had a point. Yet, still, they were super mad.

"You played us!" said Steve as he came forward.

"Can we get over this, please? We are here to catch someone very dangerous before you three decided to arrive, the plan was going swimmingly," said Khonshu.

Layla followed what he thought was Marc, that is how she got there and how thankful she was that she went.

Then they met the guy they were there for.

His name was Jacob Highs, according to Khonshu he likes to torture people and plays cruel games with them.

"Marc Spector, I know about you. Now, it's time for you to face your demons!" the man let out a wicked laugh.

"Kill him Marc!" yelled Khonshu. "Kill him before h-"

—

"Marc?" he heard Layla's voice.

"What happened?" he asked as he opened his eyes, he found himself in an old dingy house. From the window, he could see the outside was pitch black. No landscape, nothing, only darkness.

"I-I don't know but..." Layla couldn't finish her sentence as Marc was hugged suddenly.

"Oh, Marc! I thought you died!" said Steven.

"Steven? How is this possible?"

"Told you Highs is dangerous." said Khonshu, "He likes to play with people. This is one of the realms he created."

Marc finally stood up and he noticed another man, another him.

"So, you are Jake." all three looked at Jake who rolled his eyes, not answering. The three started to talk trying to figure out what to do.

"How do we get out of here?" asked Layla who looked at all three men and Khonshu.

"We wait." said Jake, finally speaking up, everyone looked at him.

"Wait? Are you out of your mind?"

"Technically, yes. I am."

"How could we just stand and wait?" asked Steven as he looked at everyone.

"We will die here if we don't find a way out." said Layla.

"Yeah, let's just start walking, get out of this filthy house and see what we are against." said Steven as Marc was thinking.

"No, we need to wait." said Jake again with a firmer tone.

"Why would we just sit here and wait?" asked Marc, annoyed with the man in the hat.

"Because, unlike you two, I have a girlfriend who is actually useful." said Jake and just as he said that Jacob's unconscious body flew in the window, shattering the glass as he landed. Jake made an 'I-told-you-so' face at the others before the door opened and a woman came in, you.
