Chapter Three
"You Ain't Gettin' Away"
Dear Journal,
I've made my choice. I know Agatha would scold me, but the girl needs me. She's just a young woman looking for love and affection. I couldn't say no! All my life, I wanted a family myself, who am I to deny this girl? Her origins and mine, they really aren't so different. I can truly make a difference here.
I've begun to make preparations.
I must admit, however, that the girl's aura is... what's the word? Bleak. However, I believe she just needs love. She's been denied it for so long. I know that's the solution here.
Teddy felt a hand on his shoulder belonging to Captain America. "I am very sorry for your loss, Teddy. But you can't let despair take over. We need to push and fight on so that his killer's brought to justice." Teddy nodded but said nothing.
"Some of you are right cold sons of bitches!" Lucas announced, his voice booming around the room. "Gettin' a little tired of being asked 'why' here. The fuck do you think I'm gonna say, fellas? I was bored and then you arrived. Got that?"
Cap stood up and decided to give this guy a piece of his mind. "No one here is going to kill anyone else. You're a swindler and a cheat, son. The fact that you use these games to hurt us just shows how weak you are."
"Hey, fuck you, man! What do you fuckin' know, huh? You don't know me for shit! I built all this! I'm fuckin' amazing!" Lucas belted out a laugh. "Oh, you... we'll see if you still talk big when this is over."
Cap then turned to get the group's attention. "Are we going to let a man like that dictate how we act as a unit? I say no! We're in this together, as a unit and it's time we start acting like one. Petty squabbles are just playing into his hands. He wants us to fight, he wants us to kill each other. I don't know about you but I'm not going to play his game. Not anymore."
As the four pieces were gathered and the group proceeded down the hall to the locked door, Lucas spoke once again. "By the way, I heard ya talkin' 'bout Zoe. She's a bitch who didn't understand how things work around here. Didn't understand me either. Better off dead, if you ask me. She's not down with the program, so mom and dad aren't too happy with her. But y'see, they got other daughters now. And sons. They're good. So y'all don't worry 'bout her."
"H-Hold up," Owen said, his voice faltering. He held his hands out, trying to get everyone's attention. "Look... I get the gist of what's going on. I think I'm... I think I'm still a little in shock, to be honest. Not really thinking straight. This is... not right. I don't really feel it's real, you know? Some of you aren't even--"
He shot Toffee a wary look. "... I just don't know what to think."
Teddy stood up. Blood now covered his clothes. "It's real," he said. "It's very real. A sadistic maniac trapped us here. Some of us might not even be from realities you knew existed. We're all trapped, forced to play a game of life and death. We might all die. No... we probably will all die."
He said it in a detached tone. Teddy seemed to avoid looking at anyone while he walked over to Owen and held his hand out. "The piece."
Owen stared back. "... Real or not, I guess I have no choice but to think of it as real. Something in the back of my head is telling me this is all too familiar." He handed it off to Teddy, who went around and collected the second half.
The two completed pieces were inserted into the door that entered into the main hall, allowing the group to access the biggest part of the house yet.
Teddy shuffled in first to stand in the middle of the room. "The fuck you want us to do now, Lucas?!" Shane yelled into the house, but Lucas only responded with a laugh. The yelling apparently got someone's attention from the upper balcony, who ran to the railing to get a look at the group. She stared for a long moment, eyeing them.
"Holy shit," said the girl. "People."
On her wrist was another codex. "That door was locked, last I checked."
"Yeah, people," said Owen back at her.
Now this was a surprise. First Usami, then Shane, and now her? If there was any doubt before in Kyoko's mind, now there certainly wasn't. The Dark Place was involved somehow, and if it had gotten a hold of Wanda's mind somehow, influencing her for the worse... Kyoko couldn't even imagine the kind of damage the Scarlet Witch could do under that kind of control. The situation had become far more dire than perhaps anyone here had realized...
"You..." The detective could only say, recognizing the punk girl. It was useless to say anything like "I thought you were dead," as for all she knew, she had either been warped back to life by Wanda with an incorrect or nonexistent memory of Bright Falls, or even worse, they were all in the Dark Place now.
"Me?" The girl tilted her head. "I see you guys have those crazy watches... Guess Lucas got to you too, huh? Fucking crazy-ass weirdo."
"... You seem familiar, kid," Shane said.
The girl peered at him. "... You too, old man. But I don't think we've met." She started to come down the stairs. "Name's Bullet. You're the first people I've seen who didn't laugh maniacally and chase me, so I'm gonna go ahead and trust you. Good with that?" She stopped before them.
"... Anyone got a smoke? I'm dying here."
Lucas cleared his throat. "Why, how nice of us to join us, girlie. You done bein' Zoe's errand girl yet? I'm surprised a member of the family didn't already do you in." Bullet held a middle finger up toward the sound of Lucas' voice. "Oh, ho! Okay, well, now that you're with them, I'll go ahead and start tracking your HP! As for the rest of you, I'll be back in a bit to give you a tour of this lovely section of the house!"
Makoto took the opportunity to pull Kyoko aside. "I think it's time, now, Kyoko... I, uh..."
T'Challa awoke on a marble floor that was patterned black and white. All around him were red curtains that seemed to sway. As he got up, his balance would be off, and no matter what T'Challa did, he would fall sideways through one of the red curtains.
In just a blink, the world changed. T'Challa was now standing on the doorstep of a suburban house in downtown New York. Someone was answering the door in front of him.
"Oh-- wow! You're Black Panther! I... didn't expect someone like you to show up."
It was Teddy Altman who opened the door.
