As I sat at my computer I looked out the door to see a somewhat strong storm working its way from the west. Although, me being the avid internet junky that I am, just simply didn’t heed the warnings of good sense. It from here on shall be known as “Mistake Number One”. I had just decided to start my nightly web wandering, throw all my favorite comic book and TV show sites, and playing music, then I decided to Play an episode of Angel that I had missed watching on its TV run But I found online, this was “Mistake Number Two” having downloaded it because I didn’t want to wait till it came around again in reruns I started it up, It was the Episode “Underneath” I had gotten to just about the end of show when from out of my living room side door a lightening bolt struck my computer. The flash knocks me out……
When I come to I’m not in my house anymore, I’m in a Science lab. All I can think is what the hell just happened. Did I end up getting knocked into a coma and this is the hospital that they sent me to? Or am in a government research lab for taking a bolt of Lightening to the chest and having no damage besides getting knocked out. I looked around at this lab and I keep thinking it looked very familiar to me. As I’m trying to find myself I hear screaming…
I run to the door of the lab and can see where I really was. I was in Wolfram & Hart’s Lab that why it all looked familiar to me, but standing in it changes your outlook on something I guess... and as I looked into the hall I saw what the screaming about. It was the point where that Big Hamilton guy was stomping around after Eve. So I just decided to just say in the Lab for now…
So there I am, sitting in the Wolfram & Hart lab trying to figure out how the hell I just Got “Caption N’ed” Into the Angel TV show. Ok well this is the weirdest thing that has ever happened to me. After about Fifteen minutes I heard the sound of the group just coming up. As I walk to the door I could see Spike, Angel, Lorne, Eve, and Lindsey. It was then that I was completely sure I wasn’t just dreaming and I really was stuck in this world…
So I walked into the hall and said “Umm…. excuse me I seem to be lost, could I get a little help”. As soon as I said that all five of them turned and looked at me.
“Who are you?”, Lorne said looking confused.
“Hi. My Name is John, and well I’m not suppose to be here.”
“ Well that’s nice the exit is that way” spike said
“No, I don’t think you get what I mean, see I don’t belong in this world” I said and again they looked at me weird.
“Look I really don’t need this right now, I have Lindsey to deal with. Umm Spike, Lorne can you talk to this guy,” angel said as he walked to his office.
“Ok Mate lets go in here and see if we can understand what the hell you are talking about, While green pulls these slugs out of my back.” Spike said.
We go back into the lab and sit down, Lorne got the tools to get the bullets out, and I just start pacing back and forth,
“Ok you may not believe this, Hell I’m have trouble, but I’m from another world, dimension, universe, or whatever. In this world you guys are just characters in a TV show and comic books…I know how that sounds, and I’m not saying I don’t think you are really, well now anyway, but I know I’m not in my world, cause in my world you aren’t real.”
Spike and Lorne just kind of looked at me, as though I was crazy, Jesus a vampire and a Green demon, you think a little suspension of disbelief would be in order.
“Ok, I can see that I guess…what about you spike” Loran asked, “Oh, yeah other worlds, comics of us, I can see that I guess. But the real brains of the operation, that understand the whole alternate demotion things aren’t here right now…. Owe watch it back there green jeans”
“Sorry, afraid I don’t go Fred’s gentle touch” loran said
“Just get on with it” spike snapped back, “Look I don’t think your going to be able to do anything here now till Wes gets back to talk to, home with blue right now”
“Well I guess I’m stuck here till then, hmmm, so I’m at this point in the story…. sorry see its just I have seen how this lil’ TV show has run. Hmmm… let me think its episode 5-17, hmmm…, again sorry Just thinking.”
“About what Skippy, see if you know something you should be telling us, I think you should speak up.” Spike said
“I’m sorry, I don’t know if telling you anything will destroy what happens to any of you and right now you guys are my only chance home. So please don’t worry I will not keep any information that will hurt any of you back but I need you to just keep doing everything as you where going to do before I showed up.” As I looked into Angel’s office I could see him and Lindsey talking. “Please just tell Angel I’m from another world and not what all I just told you. He is the one I can’t screw up for anything. Well for now anyways.”
“Hmmm, well I guess so. I guess you are going to need a place to crash for a while so come on with me”. Spike said.
“Thanks, Spike” I replied
We walked over to the Office and spike walked in and said “ Well thing guy I guess just drop into our laps from a random lighting bolt in his world. Wes, is the only one who can help him right now so I’m going to give him a place to crash and then bring him in when Wes is here.”
“Ok, well John was it, Well I’ll call him and get him in tomorrow” Angel said.
“Thanks I’ll let you guys get back to your thing.” I said
On the way out in the elevator spike said to me “ Ok pal, I didn’t fill him in so if any one dies, your next” ….I just look to at him and said “don’t worry, “
So hanging out at spikes place was weird, “hmmm so I don’t get it, why did I get stuck in this world, I mean I couldn’t of ended up in a world of hot anima woman…or something.”
“Well I could be worse. You could of end up in mortal kombat or something.” Spike said
“Yeah that’s true”, well with that I fell asleep on his couch,
Finally the next day I get to talk to Wes. Spike and me walked into the Lab to find Wes and Illyria in it..
“Right well this is Wes but I guess you already know that” Spike said.
“So this is the man who said he is from another dimension.” Wesley says.
“Yeah but he says he is from another dimension where we are just comic book stories, and TV shows.” Spike replied
“Look, I’m from a world where this all of this is a story on a TV show. But I have been thinking, I remember an idea brought up in other stories I have read that there is no original thought on a story that it’s only a person’s mind tuning into the world, and then just writing it down. Joss Whedon most of been tuned into the energy of this world or something.” I replied
“Well what was all that about you saying you seen this story already, or something” Spike asked.
“Yeah, I watched this show till the end of it, but it was one of the stories the was very open ended. Like it was meant to go on just the studio or channel said to end it.” I said.
“How is that possible if it’s just happening for us now” Wesley said
“Little miss I can control time is standing right there and your asking me that,” I said looking at Illyria.
“Only if you had shown up few weeks earlier maybe you could of helped keep Fred around.” Spike said
“Sorry to say I’m glad I didn’t because from what I know of this world, I’m going to need Illyria to get me home.” I said
“Well let’s just see about that shale we, tell us what you remember about what brought you here.” Wesley said
“Hmmmm… ok well it was storming outside my house, and I was surfing on my computer through sites about comic books and stuff. I decided to go watch the episode I missed of Angel, because I downloaded it.”
“Wait the show is Name after Angel” spike said very pissed off. “Spike” Wesley replied
“Well yeah it was a spin off of Buffy the vampire slayer show, at the point he moved here to L.A. from Sunnydale, anyway, lightening struck my computer and the next thing I know I’m waking up here….” as I pointed to the lab room.
“Hmmm well that doesn’t sound anything close to mystical to me, which means it’s out of my area, and the only one who can help you figure anything out is no longer alive.” Wesley stated.
“You mean I’m stuck in the world two steps from the gateway to hell.” I shouted
“I’m sorry but, yes,” Wesley said
