Web Runner - Ruthless Test

4 Alternate Collisions

Once Web Runner arrived at A-Corp tower building, he was told the worst news yet. The reality that they were in could collide with Web Runner's dreams, and that's why all his weird stuff was happening in their world and not just a dream world. "I'm concerned about one thing, Jimmy." Web Runner noted. "Well there's a lot more than one thing to be concerned about here, but what is it in particular?" Jimmy replied. "Every time I look in the mirror, for a split second I see someone else staring back at me. I couldn't tell you who it was, but I think it may have something to do with my dreams and our world colliding." Web Runner explained. "It's that, or you've brought someone from your dreams with you into this world, and you're... it's host." Jimmy said. "But Jimmy, I'm telling you I've never seen this person in my life, they can't be from a dream." Web Runner explained. Jimmy ordered that a mirror be brought up to the lab floor immediately. They needed to test something. The scientists put the mirror right in front of Web Runner. "What do you see right now?" Jimmy said. "Myself, and that ugly dude in the back." Web Runner said. "Well, you seem better, but did you see anything when we first put it in front of you?" Jimmy asked. "No, absolutely nothing but myself. And... that ugly dude in the back." Web Runner said. "Ok that's enough with the jokes!" Jimmy said. "No like I'm serious, can someone get that dude out of this laboratory, he looks very weird." Web Runner said. Jimmy looked to the back of the room to tell the guards to remove whoever was in the lab, but no one was there. "Ok, Adam, I need you to sit down and try to relax." Jimmy said. He wasn't going to tell Web Runner that nobody was there just in case there was something there and he just couldn't see it. Web Runner laid back in the sleep chamber stasis pod and relaxed as best as he could. A scientist walked in the room after that. "You'll be out for around five hours, whatever you do, do not try to purposefully wake yourself up, it could lead to really bad things happening. Good luck." The scientist said. Web Runner woke up in the dark and abandoned hospital hallway. The floor was flooded just above the ground. The men got lost at knee level. Web Runner stood up and turned on his built in suit flash light. He saw absolutely nothing in the dark until he was around his shins in the water. He heard a yell, it sounded like it came from a man. He ignited his lightning blade and ran towards the sound. The water started changing colors the closer he got to the noises, it was turning purple. Web Runner eventually came to a stop at a single hallway that was pitch black, where the noise was coming from. He started walking down the hallway, but as soon as he took the first step in, a giant shadow like figure appeared from the darkness and slashed at him. Web Runner dodged the attack, and swung his lightning blade at the figure. At this point, he knew those men lost earlier were dead. The blade did absolutely nothing to this shadow, that's when he remembered that this was a dream, and he didn't control what happened, something else did. Web Runner went immediately for the last resort option, it was either try to wake up before the five hours was over, or get killed in his own dreams and never wake back up. He woke up just before the figure would have caught him. Web Runner's heart was racing when he woke up, he was breathing extremely fast, the scientists in the lab were documenting the whole thing. "I... can't do anything to it, in my dreams I can't fight anything!" Web Runner yelled. "I'm sorry for waking up, but I would be as good as dead if I was in there right now." Web Runner explained. "It's ok, we just have to figure out what exactly you opened by waking up early." Jimmy Carloso said. "What are you talking about?" Web Runner asked.
