-Ugh... Where am I?- I think, as I groggily stand up. I look around and see that I'm In an alley, a dark and dirty alley.
The first thing I register is the smell, the second... I am not in my room. I remember seeing if there were any new Worm CYOAs, and sadly found none so I decided to do the 3rd version of the CYOA and went to sleep. Now that I think about it I probably should have wasted all of my poin- Wait a second!!
A-Am I in Worm? Fuck! I really should have wasted all my points. But waiiiit... I'm supposed to be a Biokinetic. Lets see if I can use it.
I touch my elbow and suddenly a wave- no- a sea of knowledge enters my head. Knowledge I can barely understand, only getting bits and pieces. It starts to overwhelm me and I-
-Huuuuuuh- breathing heavily, trying to ignore the migraine that is slowly rising.
So... that confirms it. I'm a Parahuman, specifically a Biokinetic, and I don't have a Manton limit.
Ok. First things first I need to find out where exactly I am and where to find books on Biology, 'cause' I apparently need to actually know it to use my power effectively.
I look for an exit (entrance) to the city, and found one to my left just before the clearly forgotten dumpster.
As I exit, I look around, searching for signs of people or cars, and see a group of teenagers, specifically 2 males and 3 females, standing on the side of the road, on my left. They are dressed like they are going to a party.
Maybe they're just waiting for a ride. I start walking towards them, in hopes of having some questions of mine answered.
-Uhm, Hi.- I ask slightly anxious.
-Oh... Goodnight how can we help you?-
-Sorry for bothering you, but can you tell me where exactly I am?-
As the 2 males look at me with a little surprise, one of them answers my question.
-Today is 23 of July of 2007 and right now its 10:15 PM, we are in New York a few blocks before the Empire State Building.- He responds after briefly checking his watch.
-Is there a city named Brockton Bay somewhere in the United States?-- I ask mostly for confirmation of my situation than anything else.
-Brockton Bay? No. There isn't a city with that name- hey are you ok?-- He asks as he sees my shocked face.
What?! No Brockton Bay?! Does that mean that I'm not in Worm or is this a parallel universe?
-Yea-Yeah I'm ok just need to think over somethings-- Fuck, I need to find some newspaper, and, fuck! where is my wallet?! My phone and my wallet are gone.
-Sorry again, can you tell me where to find a newspaper?-- I ask, slightly apologetic.
-No, we don't know, but you can check the news in one of our phones.-- He takes his phone out of his sweater pocket, and inputs his password. What phone is that? I don't remember ever seeing a phone with an S on the back, and it looks really advanced for the year we're in.
-What does the S stand for?-- I ask feeling some trepidation, as a name automatically enters my thoughts.
-Tony Stark. Wait, you don't know him?-- The boy with an electric yellow sweater, says, a little surprised.
-N-No I know him, its just my first time seeing one of his phones.-- I answer rapidly, hoping my response wasn't suspicious.
Anthony Stark aka Tony Stark, one of the resident genius of the Marvel Universe. I just hope this isn't a universe with the X-Men.
Is my Shard feeling as confused as I am?
-Thank you for the information, I'm not really from here, but I have one more question. Can you tell me the location of the closest library?-- I ask, I decided to tell them a half lie.
-Oh... That's why. I noticed your English is a little broken. There's a library a block from here, you just need to go to the right, walk in a straight line, until you pass 2 streets and on the third street you go right again, you should find the library closed right now, but it usually opens at 7 AM.--
-Thank you, Thank you very much.-- I say, trying to show on my voice my gratefulness. As I start walking towards the library, I think.
Ok, first I need to learn everything I can about biology, then I should focus on money, and lastly protection for myself.
I wonder if the librarian won't find a 15 year old waiting outside the library strange. Food for thought.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Hmm, Interesting.-- Says a feminine voice in a room, faintly glowing green.
-It seems he can obstruct a rapid glance using the Time Stone, but can't when it is used extensively.-- The light softly fades.
A door to the room opens, and a man with Asian features enters the room.
-Master Wong, How may I help you?-- Says the Sorcerer Supreme while sipping her tea. Oh! how she likes her tea.
-Ancient One!-- Says the man, now identified as master Wong, panicked.
-There has been an anomaly, an interdimensional anomaly! An interdimensional being is actively connected to a human.
- What should we do? The connection doesn't seem malignant or bad for both of them.
-Master Wong, I have already worked out the issue, you do not need to work yourself out.-- Calmly says the Ancient One.
-...Ok, I am sorry for coming in unannounced Ancient One, I will now take my leave.-- He says his apologies, and swiftly leaves the room. Leaving the Ancient One alone with her thoughts.
Lets just hope that with his presence, the future will be brighter than it was before.

Shard: Shards, also known as faeries, passengers or agents, are fragments of incomprehensibly immense colony organisms known as entities that serve as the source of parahuman powers.
Manton Limit: The Manton Effect is a result of a person's shard imposing limitations to ensure they don't accidentally hurt themself.
