Chapter 2 - Chapter 2

Ughhhhh, where the fuck am I?

A light lit up in the darkness ,flashing at me with intensity

"Who are you boyyy?"

The heavy voice asked, it mildly felt to me like the voice of a kid, a particularly puny one at that.

Then it hit me, the memory coming back to me

"Are you the little twat that hit me on the head, come a little closer and see if I can bite your head off" I snarled, attempting to break the ropes.

"Dustin! I told you this wouldn't work!"

"You idiot! Stop calling my name!"

"Give it to me!"

"No"

*Switch*

The light turned on, a boy with hair covering his eyes, a face I recognize all to well from the series named Stranger things,Mike Wheeler.

"Alright! Enough of it" he broke up the black kid Lucas and the white kid with baby teeth named Dustin, a character I was fond of.

"Who are you and how did you teleport into our basement?" Mike asked, his eyes leveled with mine.

" I have no idea to be honest" I said

I spotted another kid,one with a shaved head, the famous little Eleven, or El for short.

As soon as I laid my eyes on her, I felt a pull,not a romantic pull mind you, but a telekinetic one.

Although I could tell that I had somehow grown weaker and younger,I was still the old me, I remembered the voice telling me I had been granted something, what was it again.

The ability to jump between worlds and the ability to adapt.

'Noice!'

"Maybe he is like Will? Like, one disappeared and one came back,or maybe he is like El, someone with powers?" Asked Dustin.

He eagerly came up to me

"So tell us what can you do, it's obviously not telekinesis or you would have free yourself, so what is it?" He asked.

"How about you release me first?" I asked nicely.

"Nope!" The three said in unison

"Guys, we can't keep him here, my parents will be back any minute and I am sure they won't be keen on why we have a guy tied in ropes in their basement

" What else we should do?" Asked Lucas

" Maybe we should let him go?" Dustin proposed

____________

" This is a bad idea, we should keep him locked up" Dustin said , grinning at me as I rubbed my sore wrists.

"Here, your things, Alex"

"What?"

I took the wallet handed to me by him.

I saw the three mumbling to each other as I left the place, this was all new to me, a whole new world for me to explore, my new identity and abilities as well.

Sitting in a diner with a toast an omelette in front of me, I began thinking about how everything happened, as well as the huge load of memories I got.

It seems like my original world wasn't as simple as I thought, and my boss angered some higher power which got me killed.

'tch! Bastard died and took me with him' I thought as I clicked my tongue in annoyance, though it wasn't like I was angry,in fact, I was very happy

I finally have the chance to fulfil my wishes, live my fantasies and make friends whom I can trust

My eyes then focused on the half eaten omelette, I wolfed down the food with renewed vigor and then left some tip for the kind lady who server me food.

My next stop was my home in this new reality, it seems like my abilities are more well rounded then I thought, at least the {Jumper} ability was.

This ability allowed me to quite literally jump, be it jump from one point to another,or from one reality to another.

I sat down In the empty house,left behind from my parents who passed away due to an accident.

In fact, today I was supposed to go to highschool but missed it because....well,cause some middle schoolers managed to tie me up in their basement.

I snickered at the thought, the plot of the Strangers things was about to start, and I was all here for it.

I opened my notebook and began writing down what I felt like my powers could do, it was just an instinct, like one knows how to walk, but one can stumble just as they can walk,so I wasn't entirely sure.

{Jumper}

{Allows the host to 'Jump' from one point to another,one reality to another,xxxxxx}

{Adapt}

{Allows the host to Adapt to their surroundings and survive, Allows for them to become the perfect being}

I was pretty sure that my new identity and this house wasn't part of the adapt ability,but maybe it was a by product of this jumper ability.

I envisioned myself jumping over to the fridge and the next moment, I was there.

'this is so crazy, although not as crazy as opening doors into the upside down,but crazy enough.

I tried jumping around the town,and then I started jumping to other places, until I felt like I was about to diezit was then that I discovered my powers had a limit, makes me wonder how I was able to jump into a new reality.

*Ring*

The phone hanging by the wall started ringing as soon as I came back to the house.

"Hello?"

"Hi! This is Jonathan, Jonathan Byers, son of Joyce Byers,mom told me about you coming to school today and asked me to show you around,but you weren't there?"

"Uhh! I got held up, I am sorry about that....I heard something about Will,is he alright,did they find him,tell Aunt Joyce I will come visit you guys in the evening"

I had some small talk with Jonathan, son of Joyce Byers and then hung up.

"Hmm, So Joyce is my aunt,gives me reason enough to meddle in their business"

Alex, for the first in a long while felt excitement, a world filled with horrors felt exciting to him.
