It was during all these events suddenly the world changed, heroes, villains, the common man, none was left untouched.
As the wave passed through, the skyline of the world changed, overall though it remained very similar to the previous one. The waves seemingly multiplying as they touched key heroes like ripples in water they multiplied and spread inducing more and more before overflowing the current reality. The ripples of space focused on each of the heroes, one by one methodically altering their realities, and changing the world to conform to these realities.
Dr. Deus Ex Machina noticing something wrong with the universe quickly punching in crtl + alt + dlt on his universal keyboard, only to be surprised as his access and path way home was suddenly disappeared just a little after he started his fix. After all who could have to the power to trick him, given that he was brokenly over powered after all. His surprise turned to horror however as the Yaoi Cthulhu really did appear… and his own battle began in earnest.
The ripples spreading back and forth affect all times, in present day Flannery tower was suddenly the ITower owned by Apple, while in the early 1900’s one Nathaniel Essex rose to a fairly prominent position in the US government, it was with his understanding that ‘Mutants’ and X gene were identified before they could become a ‘threat’ to humanity. In order to regulate the danger they would present and utilize their abilities new laws were enacted swiftly. These became known as the XX laws, though there was heavy initial rejection there XX laws proved to be invaluable in WW2 as the Weapon X program single handled ended the war and soon the opposition fell flat. Since then there has always been an ‘Essex’ on the presidential boards to manage the program. Current day effects were far reaching; as a result all children were tested yearly for an X-gene if the gene was found they were sent to specialized schools for the gifted, before eventually being released back into the world.
This was but one of the millions of changes, some as minor as a taking a bathroom break 10 seconds later altered various people’s lives forever, however all these changes had the same affect. As the waves of energy passed over the world history changed and along with it all things that they touched.
Despite these factors humanities wars occurred all the same, Mutants being the WMD alongside nukes. They would spur various wars with the Arab nations who attempted to create their own weapon x programs, as soldiers like Stan would find out. Most special non-mutant Americans however as a result of the XX laws ended up making deals with the government as they were usually persecuted as rogue mutants as such moonlighting ‘heroes’ never really occurred due to the military involvement with power related characters instead they most because sanctioned government operatives or simply lived like regular people.
However it wasn’t just one event but all events in this reality, after all Heroes were just a child’s tale after all.
Each of the hero’s situations changed, there very being displaced only to be saved at by the last second fix generated by Dr. Deus, it restored them to varying degrees however the fixes were only temporary as the ripples slowly starting generating once again. The reality change and fix disoriented all of them as if waking from a dream into a drunken stupor their memories and thoughts, are slow to come forth.
(no physical or mental changes yet, some clothing changes which will be mentioned otherwise assume you are still wearing whatever you were in. Powers will still be there until otherwise noted, unless specifically noted all NPC’s were adjusted to the new reality and will think of the characters as if they were already adjusted regardless of their state)
Katherine 'Kitty' Harrison
When Kitty came to she was still definitely at a school still but definitely not at Stepford University. Looking around she was definitely on the roof, looking around she spotted the Clock tower indicating she was at Stepford’s College, Stepfords premiere private school for all grades after all it was in all the tourist pictures, the skyline of city showing from the mountain side building… but it seemed a little off not that she could recognize it after all she had never actually been here before.
Stan Darkwood AKA The Sentinel
Wakes up on the couch in an apartment the battle feeling as if it was a pleasant dream; however that feeling disappears quickly as horrible hangover in addition to reality induced haze is more than enough to make him want to worship the porcelain god. The foul taste in his mouth noting that it likely wasn’t the first time he had in the last few hours. His clothing looks like a suit he’d pulled from a mafia member, reeking a mix of carrots and alcohol.
Ben Reilly AKA Scarlet Spider
Not being a native to this dimension however didn’t make him exempt from the wave, if anything it hit him even harder. As he awoke his spider sense was going off so wildly that it felt like it was splitting his head the migraine unbearable, this luckily quickly disappeared. As he looked around he was in a very nice apartment however this isn’t what caught his eye, rather the name on the diploma on the wall reading ‘Masters in Acting’… to a MJ Watson. The fact that he’s nude in large comfy silk covered bed being the other notable fact…
Lucius Banks AKA Headbanger
When he wakes up the first thing that he notices is not the fact that he was in a pink room studio room with pink furniture and did I say pink, rather the fact that J-pop is playing very loudly throughout the apartment.
Ellis Flannery (Aka Nightshade)
He awakes to the prodding of a rather beautiful looking girl scolding him
“It’s time for work, I know we were busy last night however you still can’t skip the day job.” she said yanking the blankets off of him.
In addition to his haze, his body felt like it had run a marathon the tired feeling reverberating throughout his body. At least he was still clothed, white PJ’s covered his body preventing an incident with the girl.
Zilla - Name: Sandra Yen / Sparker
You wake up in an open pod like device, the discomfort of a hard metal object poking into her butt. Looking around the room it was a large sterile white one, there were several other pod like devices in the room however they were all empty.
All the mutants in addition wake up wearing what seems to be a high tech collar. None of their powers will respond to them if attempted.
Maiden Miki - Michael Anderson AKA The Hub
Wakes up in what seems to be a public restroom, the voices of other people seem to fade out in the background as the sound of a door shuts behind them. He is sitting on the toilet pants on the floor.
Danarth - Daniel Horatio Blaidd AKA 'Lykos'
As he awakes he’s on a bench next to a rather impressive looking fountain, looking around he’s in what has to be a garden given how well manicured the hedges and trees were. The hedge however obscures your view of pretty much everything around you given how tall they are however at a moderate distance you can see what seems to be a Clock tower.
Kaizer - Mark Habel AKA Grav
Wakes up on the bed in the nurse’s office, it’s obviously a school nurse’s office given his goals in life involved doctors work so it wasn’t like he hadn’t been to it before, looking though it’s not one that he’s familiar with.
“You ok?” he asked by the rather hot nurse sitting at the desk “You fainted in the hallway.” She said plainly.
(going to rein it in, in short I’m going to be playing all the NPC’s for now in order to develop the situations everyone is in, so no run away posts. If your character asks a NPC a question you may not use the NPC to answer it unless it’s something I’ve established.)
