Paradox's office, Time Variance Authority
Headquarters, Outside of Time and Space

I wake up and anxiously look around the strange room I'm in.

Y: What the fuck has Wade gotten us into.

I look over to see Wade, head down on the table, still knocked out next to me. It smells like piss down here, gross. I lock eyes with a man sitting across the table from us. He's older, fifties maybe. His hair is dark and combed to the side. He has bags under his eyes, and an expressionless look on his face, he gives me the creeps, something about him is unsettling.
Suddenly, Wade's head shoots up, he's finally come too. The man across from us finally speaks,

"Mr. Wilson. You appear to have soiled yourself while unconscious."  He says in a British accent.

Y: Ew. So that's why it smells like piss down here.

Wade looks at the man with a puzzled look, "I wasn't unconscious." he says, oddly confidently.

Y: If he wasn't unconscious then why was he...Why didn't he just...I-

"Who are you?" I finally speak up. The man turns his attention to me, only pivoting his head, to look at me.

Y: WHY IS HE SO UNSETTLING?!

"I go by the name of Paradox, Mr. Paradox, and you're sitting here at the TVA, the Time Variance Authority. We're really a watchdog organization. Except we're more lighthearted than that sounds, with a sort of throwback ironic twist, and we're in charge of defending what's known as the Sacred Timeline." explains the man, who I now know as Paradox.

My eyes widen as I blurt out,

"Holy fuck, that is a shit ton of exposition for a three-qu—" I stop myself from finishing the rest, what the fuck was I saying, what the fuck does that even mean?! Three-quel? I sit there flustered at my own words, which is when Wade decides to speak up.

"Is this because I used Cable's time machine? Brought a couple of people back to life, then I destroyed it. That was a long time ago." Wade shouts across the table at the m—Paradox.

Paradox nods his head confirming,

"Yes, we're aware of your abuse of your timeline." He laughs at the thought of Wade's actions with Cable's time machine.
"You were so abusive of it! Uh, no, it has nothing to do with that." Paradox says with a laugh.

Then snapping his fingers he gets up and grabbing a TemPad, he tells us to walk with him.
He takes us into the main office, we walk across a runway that is built over office cubicles. I can't help but notice how orange it is in here. We are walking towards a wall of retro looking t.v. screens.
Paradox stops walking once he reaches the screens, he turns to us and says,

"I brought you here, Mr. Wilson, and Ms. Y/L/N to tell you that you two are special. In fact, you have both been chosen for a higher purpose, a purpose unclear even to me, but one that could save the entire Sacred Timeline from a possibly grisly fate sometime in the future, which may very well need to be...aveeengged." He says in a foreshadowing type tone.

Wade's eyes light up, he looks at me, and then back at Paradox.

"The Sacred Timeline-I, I assume we're going to Mmmarvel? At how cinematic it feels?" He says trying not to get over excited.

"Gratuitous cameos, indiscriminate use of variants, the whole package?" I butt it.

I look up at Wade franticly as to why I keep blurting out this nonsense, it seems to have gotten worse since we got to the TVA. Wade looks down at me and smiles with a slight nod.
