He had been forgotten about for years, ignored by the scientific community as a whole. His theories on time travel and the multiverse had fallen on deaf ears, refuted by his peers. It had cost him his tenure, disgraced him on a global stage. Dr. David Chilton used to be invited to talks alongside Tony Stark and Reed Richards, now he worked in an oversized storage closet, berated and undermined by his wife at every chance she got. But not today, today there was a stable portal opening in front of David Chilton, a stable portal that allowed him to look into time passed or time not yet seen. Worlds previously unknown were within his grasp, worlds where instead of Enid, he had married Scarlett Johansson. Entire new universes were within his grasp. Today belonged to David Chilton. With his newfound mastery over time and space, Chilton could go anywhere, be anyone, have [i]anything[/i] he desired. The disgraced professor smiled; a thought suddenly occurred to him. He could travel back to the attack on New York, warn the people, aid the heroes or more importantly, be the [b]hero[/b]. He could be the sole reason they won that day. NO longer would Chilton be henpecked by his wife, forced to work on his experiments in this tiny room while she took over the rest of the house with her side hustles and essential oils. The amount of debt they had accumulated from all-natural fizzy drink additives was enough to drive a man mad. It honestly would not have surprised David if the Joker was actually sane and just one day got sick of his wife peddling a similar pyramid scheme and decided to go off on Gotham. David would even sympathize with the man for it! Well, except [i]maybe[/i] the mass murder. Adjusting the inputs on his computer, David watched the colours of the portal shift from a cool blue into a warm orange. The familiar sight of the skull-like ship above Times Square filled the view. [color=white]"No, need to go back more."[/color] David muttered, moving his arm to adjust the display only for his forearm to collide with a mug of hot coffee. Jumping from the splash of hot liquid on his arm, a panic squeal came out of the man as he reacted too late to stop the beverage from spilling over his workspace. [color=white]"That had better not have been one of my good mugs, you worthless excuse for a man!"[/color] Enid's voice echoed from down the hallway. [color=white]"I don't know why I didn't listen to my mother, she said she could have gotten me a date with Oliver Queen, I could have been Mrs. Queen, [i]QUEEN[/i]! but instead, I settled for your lazy a-"[/color] The slamming of the closet door interrupted his wife's tirade as David quickly shut the machine down and picked up the pieces of the shattered mug. Taking a deep breath, he opened the door only to be met by his wife's very red face. [color=white]"Don't you dare slam the door on me, you spineless-"[/color] [color=white][b]"SHUT UP!"[/b][/color] David roared back, [color=white]"I don't have to take this from you, I don't have to take anything from anyone ever again."[/color] [color=white]"Ha! I-"[/color] [color=white]"I'm not done talking, Enid."[/color] David continued, turning back around pressing a key on the computer. A new portal began to form. Lush jungles appeared in the haze as Enid was left nearly speechless. [color=white]"W-w-what is that?"[/color] [color=white]"How about a first-hand experience?"[/color] David sneered suddenly grabbing Enid and pushing her through the portal. A prehistoric roar echoed over her screens before David gleefully closed the portal. An unexpected flash of red illuminated the screen prompting a raised eyebrow from Chilton. [CENTER][INDENT][INDENT][PRE]- - - S A T E L L I T E U P L I N K C O M P L E T E - - -[/PRE][/INDENT][/INDENT][/CENTER] [color=white]"Wait, no!"[/color] David protested as the device continued to input commands of its own free will. [CENTER][INDENT][INDENT][PRE]- - - T A R G E T I N G S E Q U E N C E L O C K E D - - -[/PRE][/INDENT][/INDENT][/CENTER] Above the city, the Wayne Enterprises satellite complied with the commands of David's program. Altering its angle, the orbiting relay targeted the city below and began to emit three pulses towards the city below. High above Manhattan, a portal began to take shape just as it had moments ago in Chilton's 'lab'. The horrifying screech of a Dominators ship echoed above Times Square as it emerged from the portal only to be drowned out by the roar of a very much not extinct tyrannosaurus rushing towards the bustling crowds. A second pulse illuminated the nearby horizon as a second portal opened above Brooklyn. An unearthly roar echoed across the skyline as a giant worm-like beast flew through. Armour was grafted onto its body and as it neared the city, pods departed from its side revealing another alien race within. Descending upon Brooklyn, the aliens began to fire indiscriminately. Above the borough, the portal closed again, before opening in the distance. Above Queens, a third portal opened. Screams filled the air, but not from the city below but instead the sky above as numerous, small, green goblin-like aliens were dropped to the city below. Panic engulfed New York as the portals continued to open and close above the city, hostiles and friendlies alike from different times and universes descended upon New York all while Chilton watched with horror from the window of his home. Watching the goblin-like aliens run through his yard, David ran back towards the closet. There was no way he was sticking around here to see how this all ended.
