Chapter 1 - Prologue

"Mark, stay with me man! The ambulance is on the way!"

'Who's calling me? What do they mean the ambulance is on the way' I think to myself. When all of a sudden I feel excruciating pain shoot through my body. I look down and I see a steering wheel pressed against my chest when everything starts coming back to me and who was calling my name.

I'm Marcus Alexander. Me and my best friend Maxwell Freeman were on our way to a comic convention when there was an accident on the highway. The security straps on an 18 wheeler hauling logs snapped and drivers freaked out as the logs started rolling onto the highway. Some people swerved, some tried breaking, I tried doing both and had succeed but the guy behind me was too close and failed. His big truck slammed into my little sedan and knocked it forward into another car. Luckily for Maxwell I had pulled far enough over there wasn't a car in front of his side. Unfortunately for me, the car in front of us was on my side. My little sedan front end crumpled, pushing the engine askew, and the rest of the car onto my lap from the impact.

"Talk to me Mark. You gotta stay awake so talk to me." I heard Max calling out to me. "You're in shock right now so you don't how bad your body could be and you are trapped. I can't see if you have any other injuries, but talking will take your mind off of stuff while we wait." Max continued trying to keep my attention.

"Uh, sure, how about we talk about our favorite comics and storylines." I responded while feeling a pain in my chest area.

"You know me man. I'm an old school fan none of that New 52 or MCU stuff. I love the classics, but what about you?" Max replied.

"Me? Well, I love the comics over the movies, but honestly, the movies aren't so bad if you disregard the comics. I love Marvel and DC. Especially the old school stuff, but I love the female characters the most. They always get the most filled out character backgrounds. I like seeing who the get to play those characters in the movies. I may hate the storyline that they changed just to be politically correct or not to offended people. However, seeing someone like Scarlett Joe playing Black Widow or Sophie Turner playing Jean Grey is amazing. Being honest Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman took the cake. It was just a shame she didn't have natural blue eyes like the original Lynda Carter had." I rambled on, but I was getting more and more sleepy.

"Marcus! Keep your eyes open dude!" Max shouts.

"I'm trying Max, but I'm so sleepy."

"Try harder, I see you closing your eyes. DON'T!" Max yells at me.

"I'll try." As I force my eyes open I see golden letters scroll up in my vision like the intro of a Star Wars movie.

-Accidental universal anomaly has occurred due to celestial beings fighting. Multiple deaths have occurred as a result affecting temporal line status. Beings that were involved have been located. You both are being given a choice face repercussions and administer reconciliations or face forced removal of self from this and neighboring timeliness and dimensions.

-Yes-

-Agreed-

-Marcus Alexander, your life is about to be cut short due to the actions of two celestial beings in a neighboring dimension. The Akashic records have determined their actions have caused numerous deaths leading to temporal and dimensional instability that could lead to multiple timeline and dimensional collapses. The beings involved have agreed to offer restitution to all parties involved. Your soul shall be brought before them where you will be allowed to ask for your heart's desire and argue your case for more restitution benefits if you believe their offers are found wanting.

"MARCUS, OPEN YOUR EYES DAMM IT!!" I heard Max shout as everything went black.
