"Next Steps" - Part Three

Image
Part Three The rooftop fell silent. Not the silence of an empty city. The silence of a room where everyone had stopped breathing. The fracture hung in the sky above them like a wound cut into reality itself. Around it, the morning air shimmered unnaturally. The skyline bent in subtle, impossible ways—the corners of nearby buildings stretched and snapped back into place as though New York itself couldn’t decide what shape it was supposed to be. Finn couldn’t take his eyes off it. “...It’s beautiful.” Zeeva glanced at him. “It shouldn’t be.” The black tear widened another inch. Inside...something unfolded. It wasn’t walking. It wasn’t floating. It simply became . Every second it seemed to possess a different shape—a towering figure one moment, a swarm of twisting ribbons the next. It had no face, yet Finn couldn’t shake the feeling that it was staring directly at him. Behind Zeeva, Dr. Bunsen Honeydew frantically adjusted a handheld scanner. “According to these readings,” he announced, “...

"Next Steps" - Part Two

Image
Part Two Zeeva’s words still lingered in the air: “Yes, sweetie… that Aznavorian.” Finn stared at her. “…That’s not real,” he said, quieter now. Not disbelief— hope . Zeeva tilted her head slightly, studying him the way someone studies a puzzle they already know the answer to. “Reality,” she said softly, “is a lot more flexible than you’ve been told.” Behind her, Dr. Bunsen Honeydew adjusted a glowing device strapped to his wrist. It hummed with a rising, uneven pitch. “Fascinating!” Bunsen exclaimed. “The dimensional readings are spiking again!” Beaker flailed beside him. “Mee-mee-mee!” Finn jumped slightly as the rooftop lights flickered. The air…bent. Not visibly—but wrong . Like heat rising off pavement, except colder. Sharper. Zeeva’s expression changed instantly. The warmth didn’t disappear , b ut something else stepped forward : f ocus. “Bunsen,” she said, calm but firm. “Tell me you didn’t activate anything.” “Oh! Certainly not on purpose!” Bunsen replied cheerfully. Zeev...

"Next Steps" - Part One

Image
Part One 10-year-old Finn Whizz was about to have the best day of his life. Of course, waking up that morning, it did not exactly feel that way. Finn considered himself blessed to live in a world where superheroes and Muppets, like himself, coexisted — although he sometimes lamented the passing of his parents. It happened during those five years that he was blipped out along with half of the universe by the alien tyrant, Thanos. His only solace from his less-than-comfortable living situation with his verbally abusive uncle — his only living relative — was in the comic books that he read. On his Friday after school, Finn rushed to Dinky’s Comics. He attempted to buy the new issue of Captain America , based on the actual WW2 adventures of the real-life war hero-turned-Avenger-turned-fugitive-turned-Avenger-again, Steve Rogers. That was until Mr. Dinky gave him the bad news: “Sorry, Finn. All sold out.” “What?!” Finn cried out in defeat. “No way!” “ Yes way, Whizzer !” Every time Finn he...

"Far, Far Away..." - Part Six (Conclusion)

Image
Part Six The air inside the lab shifted s ubtly …d angerously. Skeeta could feel it. “They know,” he muttered. Tabitha didn’t look away from the engineers. “Of course , they do. We’ve been wingin’ this for, what—five minutes?” “Long enough.” A technician glanced at a console. Frowned. “…Sir,” he called out, “we’re detecting an energy spike from the object—” Too late. The TARDIS pulsed. Soft at first. Then brighter. Alive. Skeeta stepped forward with n o hesitation. “Everyone step back,” he said. The authority in his voice cut through the room like a blade. The engineers froze. Tabitha blinked behind her helmet. “…Okay,” she whispered, “…that was kinda impressive.” Skeeta reached his TARDIS and p laced his hand against its surface. The reaction was immediate. A low hum. Then— Light. Golden-blue energy rippled outward, washing across the room like a wave. The cables snapped loose. The scanners flickered violently. One by one , t he Empire’s machines failed. The engineers stum...
