Chapter Text
First I would like to start off with a few words.
This is going to be awful.
You and I will love it.
I will especially. Because this has been rotting in my mind all summer and now I actually have an excuse if it takes me months to upload chapters. Oh and the ships. Those are great too!!
Yaynays. Enjoy.
A young man finds himself laying on the ground, in a mysterious place. He opens his eyes and recognizes the ground is a disgusting linoleum floor.
His name is John Egbert. Please be nice to him.
"Where am I?" John mutters to nobody in particular, pushing himself off of the linoleum and onto his knees. Oh. It's not actually a linoleum floor. It's 10 slabs of linoleum on an empty corn field. He looks around, and finds another man (who looks awfully distressed) standing around, staring at the ground (or his shoes, it's hard to tell with the man's weird goggles) and,, some dude who looks like The Flash. Seriously, it's a spitting image of the guy! Wait a minute that is The Flash. What the heck??
The Flash looks around, unaware of the teenage boy on the ground with his 10 linoleum slabs. "Vibe..Where are we?" John could hear The Flash ask the other mysterious man. Oh, so his name is Vibe. Wait a minute, that's not Vibe..??? That doesn't look like him at all! Listen, John wasn't a huge DC nerd at all, but that doesn't look like Vibe. Even he knows that.
"I don't know man, I got distracted by whatever Ralph was saying in the middle of my breach, and...here we are." Vibe explained, just as confused as the scarlet speedster. "But less about that, who's that kid over there?"
They both look.
John looks at them.
..Awkward!!
"Do you think he's a meta?" Flash questioned Vibe. "He does have a pretty weird outfit on.."
Well that's mean.
"I would get out my dark matter scanner, but what do you know, I don't have it. Maybe you should ask him." Vibe answered so nicely.
"Uhh, you know I can hear you guys, right?" Egbert finally chimes in. "And what's a meta?"
Flash blinked. Vibe scratched the back of his head.
"So maybe he's not a meta." Flash looked at Vibe.
"Or maybe he just doesn't know what he is." Vibe stepped closer to John, who was still sitting on the ground for some reason. (He took that time to stand up.) "Excuse me young man, do you have magical powers?"
"Well, I can do a windy thing.."
"Good enough. He's a meta, Flash."
"I heard. I'm not that far away, Vibe."
"Oh yeah. Anyways. Do you know where we are?" Vibe asked, shifting his weight onto one foot and to another.
"Uh..no. I don't know where we are at all." To be honest, this is the first time in a while that John's seen a corn field. Or..Earth, really. It's been a long time, really. Maybe he should tell Dave and ask if this should be happening. Or Rose, Rose would probably know.
But first..Is anyone else here?
John looked around. He saw nothing but corn field. How big is this cornfield? John thought to himself, trying to see the end of the horizon. Just cornfield. And all the corn is gone. It's harvesting season , he supposed.
"Do you know if anyone else is here?" John asked to either one of the other guys, not caring who answered.
"No, we weren't even trying to go here, to be honest." Flash said. "I wonder if we're on another Earth."
"Another Earth?
Oh. Yeah. Vibe explained the whole multiverse stuff to John, all that good stuff.
"And... that's the multiverse." Vibe ended, bowing. "Thank you, thank you, I know, outstanding performance. Anywho, I haven't heard anything on our coms, Flash. Do you think they were cut off?" Vibe looked nervous. Or, as nervous as he could look with those goggles on.
"They probably were. We'd probably have Iris asking where we are by now, considering our satellite is gone." Flash admitted.
Vibe sighed. "Crap."
"Wait. Look over there!" Flash pointed. There was another dude, holding some sword. He looked like Dave.
Because it is Dave.
Flash thought for a moment. "Do you think I should run over there and get that person?" He looked to Vibe.
"I don't know??" Vibe shrugged.
"I'll get him," John declared, already walking over.
Vibe grabbed John's shoulder. "Wait. What if they're dangerous? We don't know if they're a meta."
"It's fine, I know this guy. Trust me!" John smiled. "Dave!! Hey!!" John was waving now.
Dave turned around.
Oh, it's just John. Dave waved back a little.
Eventually, they were standing face to face.
"Congrats on reaching God tier," Dave said, scratching the back of his neck.
"Thanks! I don't know how I did it. Do you think it's because of the windy thing?" John started walking back to the other two guys.
Dave followed next to John. "Yeah, that's probably it. I asked Rose about it. I was in the middle of trying to reach God tier until I got sent to this strangely large cornfield."
"..Do you think this cornfield is like..infinite?" John asked, looking around to see if there's anything else except cornfield. Nope. Nothing yet.
Dave thought for a moment. "Maybe. My iShades aren't working right, so I can't ask Rose or any of the trolls. Are your goggle thingys working?"
"No, but I wish they were. I hope none of the others are too worried about where we are. We are kind of in the middle of something important, of course!" John stuck his hands in his cool new pockets.
"Mhm. So, who's The Flash guy doing over there with the other dude?" Dave pointed to Flash and Vibe.
"Oh, that's Vibe and The Flash. They don't know how they got here either. Vibe said something about getting distracted by someone and accidentally breaching them to wherever this is."
"Wait. That's..actually The Flash? Also, that dude doesn't look like Vibe."
"Yeah, that's The Flash. Well.. I think he is. He hasn't actually ran super fast yet. But I'm going to take his word for it for now!" John shrugged. Well, they were back to where John was before.
"So, this place is just an infinite cornfield?" Dave thought out loud.
"It seems so. I could run around and see if there's anything out here," Flash supposed. "Vibe, maybe try and see if your breaches work."
"Okay then." Vibe tried his hand at his breaches. Nothing. Nada. Zilch.
"..That's not good." Vibe said after a moment. He tried again. And again. And over and over and over.
Nothing.
"Okay.. I'll try and use my powers." Flash sounded a little nervous. He then tried to run. He could bolt around, but it wasn't close at all to the speeds he's used to.
Not fast enough to run out of here.
"That's..not good either. God, we're screwed." Vibe facepalmed.
"Well, I don't think my windy thing could help us here.." John said defeatedly. Dave didn't want to screw with the timeline because this might be important, so he wasn't going to try.
"I guess we should get to know each other if we're going to be stuck here. Vibe, do you think we should.." Flash turned to look at Vibe.
"Sure. These two teenagers seem trustworthy enough."
"Ok," Flash said, then he took off his mask. "My name's Barry Allen, and this is Cisco Ramon."
Vibe, who is now going to be referred to as Cisco, took off his goggles. "Nice to meet you.." He trailed off. Oh, that's right! John and Dave haven't introduced themselves yet.
"Oh, I'm John Egbert and this is Dave Strider. Nice to meet you two." Dave waved.
Silence.
..
"Anyways," John continued, "I think we should stick together and try to find some shelter. Who knows who or what could be here."
"Good idea. I'll go and see if there's any structures or supplies other than the 10 linoleum slabs on the ground right there." Barry then sped off. Woah, guess he really is The Flash.
A few seconds later, Barry came back with a tattered map and a canteen.
"Well, atleast it's something," Cisco took the map from Barry, looking at it for a second. "Looks like someone was here before us."
John peered over at the map. "Maybe they're still here? If we could find them, we could probably find out more about this place."
"If that supposed person left their map and a canteen out in the cornfield then they probably want us to find them." Dave shrugged.
"Then I guess we should get to work finding this mystery person." Cisco declared.
And so they set off.
