Grandpa Universe In Multiverse

The masked man was laying on the ground, breathing heavily and it was getting slower. He was dying, that was obvious.

Alexander had no idea why this person would come here and put his own life in danger.

He went closer to his body and crouched beside it. The man's face turned to him, obvious that he was looking at Alexander through his eyes. He lifted his hand slowly.

Alexander caught it, thinking that the man needed help getting up. But, just as he touched his hand, Alexander started to see some memories in his mind. These were the memories of this man.

He did not stop them from entering his brain, guessing that the man wanted to see them.

[Memory]

2008, Los Angeles

A small family drove in an old minivan. It was a happy day for them. The family of three lived a simple but hard life. After the main earner of the house died due to cancer, leaving a lot of debt, it all came down to Mrs Nox to earn and get her son and daughter an education so they can someday get away from their current hellish life.

At the moment, they were returning from Boston. Particularly MIT. At just 16 years of age, her son had extraordinarily finished a dual degree in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering. She knew that her son was very different from others from an early age. He was very good at studies and mostly kept to himself, self-studying.

They didn't have the money to get him the good education the should have but that did not deter the boy. He studied and got a full scholarship at MIT at the age of 14. It was a big thing and he was also hailed as a genius in the news.

The future looked bright and her son really shined when he lived at his college. Staying with people with high functioning minds made him even smarter. He also wanted to complete his masters and doctorate at the college and he even had the offer, but he refused as he wanted to make some money for his family so that they can't be in a little peace.

"Sweetie, what will you do now? Have you thought about where you are going to work?" Mrs Nox asked as she drove.

"Yes, mom. With the achievements I have under my belt, most companies around the world are already after me. They are ready to pay millions as long as I come to them. Some are even offering me citizenship to their countries." Tyson spoke.

He was a 16 years old, medium built teenager. He didn't have any exciting physical features, it would be right to say he was average in that department. His hair was black, his eyes were of a dull grey colour. He didn't physically stand out anywhere but his mind did.

"BIG BROTHER... WILL YOU LEAVE US?" Anna, the 10 years old, spoke from the backseat and wrapped her arms around Tyson's neck who sat at the front passenger seat.

Tyson dotted on his sister a lot. She saw him as a father figure too. She shared all her problems with him and he always solved them. Unlike Tyson, she was pretty for her age and was going to become prettier with her age. So Tyson was also very protective of her.

Since the death of his father, Tyson had decided that he was going to never let his mother or sister cry. He wanted to give them all the comforts of the world and for that, he worked hard. He had a sharp brain and he knew it was the getaway vehicle for him.

"No no, why would I leave my little cat? I have decided to work as an intern at Stark Industries. I was selected by them. They will give me an early salary of 80,000$ for now. I know it is much less than what others are offering, but, the best thing here is that they will sponsor my Masters and Doctorate degrees. Also, after my internship, I can join the company as an employee with a guaranteed 500,000 salary, it can go up if my internship goes well." Tyson explained.

They made a lot worse money right now. So 80,000 was a lot, it was many times of what they made right now. Mrs Nox worked at a car wash as its manager, not as the owner, so it was not a very high paying job but that was what she was qualified to do. Also, there were school fees for Anna.

These 80,000$ were going to change their lives.

Mrs Nox left one hand on the staring wheel and patted Tyson's shoulder with the other. "I am proud of you, sweetie."

Tyson smiled, "I know, mom. Thank you for working so hard all this time. I will never let any problem come into our life now."

"Stop it, sweetie. I am your mom, a good mother always takes care of her pups." She jokingly said.

"BIG BROTHER... What will you buy me with your salary?" Anna suddenly asked.

"What do you want?" He inquired.

"Ummm... one barbie doll." She replied.

"No, I won't buy that." Tyson sternly said, making her go sad.

"I will instead buy you a full Barbie dollhouse set." He finished speaking and earned a tight hug from Anna.

"Big brother is the best." She cheered.

"Haha, yes, yes, big brother is best when he buys you something. Mom, let's eat out today. I have a lot of money saved and the college also gave me a reward for coming in the top position." Tyson suggested.

"In that case, let's go. I know a very nice restaurant." Mrs Nox cheerfully drove on the freeway.

Tyson kept on looking outside his window, at the big buildings. There was the Stark Industries building too, it had its logo illuminated in the evening light.

~Didn't Mr Stark just get saved from his abductors in Afghanistan? I wonder if I will ever get to meet him.~ He wondered.

"MOM CAREFUL..." Suddenly he shouted as he saw a falling light from the side building on the freeway.

His mother steered the car and then all they felt was sudden pain and booming noise. Everything seemed as if it was frozen and muffled sounds of iron clashing were heard.

"Mom, are you okay?" Tyson voiced. He couldn't open his eyes, he could only hear a high pitched humming in his ears.

He couldn't hear his mom so he tried to open his eyes. He noticed he was facing the window and he saw a huge humanoid robot getting off of their car and walking towards the smaller robot in red armour.

~Wait... that is Iron Man, right?~ His mind questioned. But he couldn't be bothered by what was going on. His ears slowly adapted and he heard the two armoured people talking.

"Stop this destruction, Stane." Iron Man voiced.

"It is all but collateral damage..."

Tyson turned to look at his mom to make sure she was safe.

As soon as he turned his head, his scalp went numb. He felt cold air crossing his body. His mind went empty and his heart got filled with dread.

Right in front of him was his mother's body. The roof of the car had pressed onto her and her head had been squashed. The red and pink brain matter was out.

Tyson was hyperventilated, unable to make heads or tails in this mental trauma. "ANNA..."

He remembered his sister and looked back. But his mouth shut up. All he could see in the back seat was the crumpled car. It was completely squashed and all he could see was a lot of blood there and a detached arm.

"NOOOOO... ANNA... MOM..." It registered in his mind what happened to his family.

He tried to move to get Anna out somehow but soon he realised that even he was not in a very good condition. His left arm had been stuck in the car frame and window glass had covered his skin. Even on his chest, there was a big shard of windscreen stuck.

Silent tears fell from his eyes. He felt helpless, angry and sad. The best day of his life turned into a nightmare in a matter of seconds because of the people he didn't even know.

*BOOM*

He turned his face to look out as this was all he could do. With his reddened eyes, he saw the two metal men still fighting. The big one was throwing buses and cars on the small one. The two brawled with no care for the people around them. After some time, they flew up, out of Tyson's field of vision.

Now that all he could hear was silence and cries of people, his eyes also teared up. He couldn't find enough courage to look at his mother and Anna again. He closed his eyes with no thought in his mind. After a few minutes, he also passed out.
