Chereads / The Mighty Traveler / Chapter 80 - Chp. 80 Doppelgangers

Chapter 80 - Chp. 80 Doppelgangers

"Hahahahaha!!" Marcus was laughing his ass off as he looked at the profile in the screen along with Caine as they ran around avoiding Perkin's assault in a lounge within the Man-cave.

 

"I must say, the similarities are very uncanny…" Koji said as he looked at the profile of Barbara 'Bobbi' Morse who is also known as "Mockingjay", that is currently active as a SHIELD Agent.

 

They were quite bored when they came here and looked for their facial look-alikes. Koji found a Japanese yakuza leader which was kind of an easy thing to find, his daughter Akira was similar to a young school girl which was not that much of a reaction.

 

Caine has a similar face to an old martial artist in China when he was young.

 

John Wick has the face of a rather famous actor in Hollywood.

 

Ares has a duplicate in Iowa who was a swimming instructor at a local high school.

 

They even found some for Teon Ma who was a simple Korean car repairman.

 

Bota has a kid with similar features like him as well acting like a thug in middle school who has a loving sister that he protects that is similarly as cute as Rita.

 

Teon Ma found that they were orphans making him and Narisa want to charge over there and take care of the young kids.

 

Kana was a bit interesting since her look alike was a Korean pop Idol that was gaining fame with her twelve member group of young pop artists whereas another member looked like Sonia.

 

Fili and Kili found drunk guys in England who were also drinking buddies but were taller than them.

 

Thrain found an old man who was short and hunched being taken care of in a mental facility, so after learning what a mental facility was they all laughed at the coincidence.

 

Gong Tae and Jako as well as Mao found Asians that look like them living normal lives. Mao's look alike was also a fisherman and it made him wail why he seems to be destined to be a fisherman.

 

Sea Monkey and Tasha also had look-alikes and they were in another Korean Pop group that seems to rival the ones that has Kana's and Sonia's doppelgangers.

 

Alice(A/N: I'll remind that this is the name I assigned to the daughter of Sofia Al-azwar) found a young African teen who seemed very intelligent and dreamt to be a doctor one day.

 

Mia, Caine's daughter somehow has no look-alikes which made it easy for her to be transitioned to society.

 

Sapphire and some people Paul brought back did have doppelgangers but they were mostly normal people except for Sapphire who has a singer for a look-alike.

 

Helen as well so Paul gave her and John a house somewhere similar to their own home back in their world to live their lives along with their two dogs Daisy the small cute beagle and Cupcake the grey furred Pitbull.

 

Brune found a man who looks like him in the Korean Army who is currently ranked as a 2nd Lt. just recently assigned in the border.

 

Harvey Russell found another that looked like him and it was a Texas business man who also speaks like him and has a flair for the theatrics.

 

Davis Okoye found no one that looked like him along with Doctor Kate Caldwell, which they did not mind much at all.

 

But finding out that Perkins has a spy as her doppelganger made Marcus and Caine laugh though Perkins was rather flattered that she was still badass even in this universe.

 

Soon they found the reason she was called "Mocking jay" and it made them laugh a bit more.

 

"Oh yeah, let's see who you turn up to be Marcus!" Perkins said as she pressed the button and the computer searched for his facial match and they were shocked seeing the file of a Billionaire pop out on the screen.

 

"Holy shit man, you are freaking loaded. Care to treat me for dinner sometime?" Russell said as he looked at the file.

 

"Hehehe, he really has my charm doesn't he? And look how much of a looker his son is? Really can't deny handsome runs in my gene hahaha!" Marcus looked smug as he saw the result.

 

"What is this thing called Puhud in the name of this lady that bears my face?" Tauriel asked as she looked at the file that popped out of the screen.

 

"It's PhD or a Doctorate, it is a title given to intellectuals that are acknowledged by their peers that his/her intelligence and knowledge is at the top of the field she/he is studying. So in other words a very smart person and a successful one at that." Sofia said as she looked in admiration of the beautiful blonde hair Tauriel has.

 

"So does that mean that her duplicate is smart while my brother is a drunk man like me? How did you ever get her brother?" Fili asked as he looked at Kili was shocked at the differences in their other self's situation.

 

"Well at least I do not have anyone that holds my kingly face so that is a relief for me." Thorin said as he looked at the blank results.

 

It was then to the side two people came in with one in the lead being Ying Li teaching the new guy the ropes within this facility.

 

"So we are currently in the South Pole?" Yinsen asked as he looked around amazed at the small city filled with wondrous technology that is too advanced to the real world.

 

"Yes, mister Paul has made this all on his own and somehow he likes collecting things and others from time to time. It is one of his eccentricities, but no need to worry since he does no one harm at all in anything he does." Ying Li had been in the Man-cave long enough to understand that Paul was just too simple to understand.

 

"I really thought that I had died, but it seems he did something to save me." Yinsen said as they arrived at the lounge where the others are still watching lots of stuff.

 

"I was saved the same way as you, I too thought I had died until my body was teleported into this place which did confuse me a bit but Paul said he had to do this for the future. Though I do not understand what he plans to do but I was shown the Fate of my family if I ever stay." Ying Li said in a rather sad manner.

 

Paul had shown her a glimpse of what her son is destined to be and her being there will not make things easy for him if he is ever to become a hero.

 

Though it pained her she still abided in Paul's demands since he did promise he'll let her be with them once they have become who they were meant to be.

 

"So where does that put me?" Yinsen asked as he looked at ying Li.

 

"You should see yourself." Ying Li waved her hand and a screen showed the incident of Iron Man and War Monger which made the others look into this video.

 

"Because of you the former Playboy Billionaire, well he still is a playboy and a billionaire, but he has found purpose. A calling that now made him into the hero that he was meant to be as Mister Paul said to me." Ying Li remembered the time when Paul said to her that a man he one day saves will be the reason a hero is born.

 

Seeing Iron Man and knowing Yinsen had a play in how Stark became responsible for his creations made her have faith that her son is also destined to be a better person.

 

"So he has returned home, even became a hero. It seems helping Tony Stark was a great choice…" Yinsen smiled as he saw feed of Stark defeating the ten rings in Gulmira.

 

"Yes, it seems it was a great decision. He eliminated those copycat people that dared to call themselves ten rings." Ying Li frowned at the logo of the people that Stark attacked.

 

"Copycat?" Ying Li's words made Yinsen look at her.

 

"Yes, originally the ten rings was founded more than a thousand years ago by a powerful warlord who wore ten rings of power that gave him great strength and immortality. Their influence reached far and wide all over history that they were thought to have been a myth by many people…" when Ying Li started her talk many around were already listening.

 

"…immortal? He does not age?" Kili asked as he sat dawn near the story teller.

 

"…yes, he does not age. For his whole life he has been ruling over dynasties that he set his eyes on a mystical place called Ta Lo. He spent years in finding the entrance that when he did he was stopped by its guardian. Yet that guardian proved to be his better that he was thwarted in his attempts to enter Ta Lo…" Ying Li smiled a bit as she talked and this was noticed by mostly the females in the group.

 

"…soon this warlord found his search for power meaningless as he became soft. He fell in love to the guardian of the entrance, she too fell for him in return. So they eloped with the guardian giving up her duty and lived a life with the former warlord. He too gave up his hold of the rings as they became a family, they both had a son and a daughter…" Ying Li seemed a bit dazed as she talked while one by one the people around realized something.

 

"So this warlord is your husband and the guardian you?" Perkins asked as she seemed happy hearing such a good love story.

 

Women really like stories when the female was the reason for the reformation of a bad guy, they seem to have this like of making a good man out of the villain.

 

'I can change him…' as most teenage girls say while dating the school bully.

 

"Yes, just like you I come from a different dimension not of this world. Though I do not know where your dimension is but Mr. Paul said it was somewhat similar to Earth in some ways." Ying Li smiled as she looked at her audience.

 

"Nope, we came from middle Earth. It seems similar to what you people called your medieval times but ours is filled with magic and other stuff…" Thorin said as he had been reading many books as of late since he came here.

 

"Middle Earth? Like that book with the one ring on it or something…" Russell said trying to get in conversation but he did not expect the ones from middle earth to turn their heads suddenly to his direction.

 

Paul found no J.K. Rowling in this marvel universe but there is surely one in where the super assassins were. Where he only checked if they have a Marvel Comics there which was none at all.

 

"How do you know of the Ring of Sauron?" Thrain stared at Russell curiously as he seemed that there were some things that they might learn from him.

 

"That is because in his world there is a book written by an author titled 'The Lord of the Rings'." Paul appeared suddenly as he felt the shift of emotions of his people.

 

"The Lord of the Rings?" Thorin raised his brow when he heard of this.

 

"All of you have dreamt in your sleep right?" Paul smiled as he looked at the people on the lounge as he walked to get a seat while everybody nodded at his question.

 

"First of all, welcome Dr. Yinsen to my Man-cave but do not mind the name. Second of all, would you believe me that all those dreams are real?" Paul's words made the people pause.

 

"There is the multiverse theory, where if one person might have done one thing differently…" Paul waved his hand and a golden line like how the ancient one demonstrated to Banner appeared. "… there would be another timeline that is slightly different from what we know off."

 

"People's dreams, are but your other self's memories. The dream where you fall from a high place, the dream where you were chased by a clown with a knife…" Paul's words made some flinch a bit since they too had that dream.

 

"…those are but memories of your other selves means that dreams are very powerful that I some places their reality is vastly different from the ones we know off. So what will happen if a writer or story teller dreams of a land of magic and filled with fantastical beings? She/he will write them since he/she will just think they are but dreams." Paul's words are starting to make the others shiver a bit.

 

"So me having a wet dream of my cousin happened to another me?" Mao said as he thought about this but everybody looked at him with judging eyes.

 

"Yes, it happened to another you. But my point is, there was a writer in their world that lived in your world and dreamt of her life there so she wrote the story thinking it was fiction but in reality is was another possibility of what will happen to your world. You want to know what happened in the book do you?" Paul looked at Thorin who was a bit dazed as he had thought badly earlier thinking that they might have just been a figment of imagination of someone.

 

"Yes, what happened to middle Earth?" Thorin said as he was curious and it would not hurt to know of their kinds still lived.

 

"Wait wait wait! Can we slow down a bit? Are you saying that the Multiverse theory is true and that there are other versions of me that exist out there? Even ones where I got to save my brother?" Kate Caldwell said in a hurry as she looked at Paul who was silent for a bit.

 

"The possibilities are infinite Dr. Caldwell, there is a large probability that there would have been a reality where you had cured your brother of cancer and also another reality where the world was filled with mutated beasts that humans almost went extinct." Paul said as to not bring the hopes up of the woman.

 

"That's a relief…" Kate did not care as long as there was a world where her brother lived made her calm down.

 

"In another reality, Fili was killed by Azog, you and Kili as well died fighting but the war was won. Many mourned for you, Dain became King and it stopped the expansion of Sauron's forces in the East.

 

But the One Ring was found, in the goblin tunnels by a rather humble creature. A hobbit, named Bilbo Baggins…" Paul then saw the eyes of Thorin went wide as he remembered Bilbo his friend.

 

"But the One Ring corrupts the minds of lesser men, how did a hobbit hold such an accursed thing on his hands?" Thrain asked as he seemed to remember the ring of power he wore.

 

"Bilbo is no lesser man father, he is one of the bravest I have ever seen." Thorin said as he looked at Fili and Kili who agreed with him.

 

"That is right, Bilbo was never corrupted at all even in your journey. He even kept the Arkenstone from you though, but age will wear down a man. Good thing Gandalf was there during his 111th birthday, where he met Bilbo's nephew.

 

A Hobbit that also has that adventurous and righteous spirit of Bilbo…" Paul then went on a story telling day as he and the others were hanging out by the lounge.

 

All the others were totally interested since some of their new comrades were people on that place that Paul is talking about. So they too listened, Paul also made things interesting as he made an Illusion that enabled them to see what happened.

 

[Secrete Military Facility]

 

A Wolf clone of Paul was walking leisurely inside the military base like no one can see him since they indeed cannot as he had covered his whole body with an invisibility spell.

 

He was following behind Thaddeus Ross until he found where he is storing that SSS he developed and is planning to inject into Blonsky.

 

Paul did not take it away as he just scanned the SSS as he kept following behind the General. In another place another clone is receiving the data and is comparing it to the one he made.

 

Paul did not care much to this version Ross made but he was just generally curious. He wanted to intervene in the events of Hulk but that would stop Banner from ever stepping up and making his moment.

 

But he does have other plans as well since he looked into the Gamma factor that Banner has that he can find on other future Hulk candidates like General Ross, Betty Ross and Jen Walters.

 

He had taken some samples from them and planned to make a few people with the Gamma factor that would enable them to survive the process of transforming into a gamma being.

 

He even testes some of the people he now has with him and by far there was one possible candidate but Paul does not want to go ahead while research is still inconclusive.

 

He also had the neighborhood of Harlem planned to be absent in the near vicinity of the laboratory of this Mr. Blue that kept chatting with Bruce and is planning to make things using his blood.

 

Quite noble gesture but in reality he was just doing it to gain a nobel when he knows his own intelligence cannot be considered smart enough to find a real discovery.

 

He only became a genius in the comics due one drop of Bruce's blood falling on his head. Paul planted a small spell on his forehead also so that if he ever transforms it will explode making sure to eliminate this ambitious idiot.

 

He had thought that he meant well in using Bruce's blood in making cures but he just wanted that Fame and has some thoughts that hate the American government.

 

He is smart indeed but a real moron in wisdom, not even thinking that his research will be used for making more weaponized soldiers.

 

Other than that he had been wondering why Iron Man was absent for Hulk but he found out that the events of Iron Man 2 and Hulk vs Blonsky are going to happen together at the same time.
