inFAMOUS Displaced
Chapter 9
Karma and PTSD

I didn't know how long I was out, but as I was coming to, I heard a twig snap. Having been in a war, the sound signaled to my mind of trouble. And not just any kind of trouble...an ambush!

My eyes shot open and I jumped up with my chain out. With a screech, I began to lash it around and fire off cinder missiles and sulfur bombs at random, destroying anything unlucky to be within range of the chain and damaging almost everything else. As my vision was obscured by the smoke, I turned to where I heard the twig snap. The smoke cleared and I was able to clearly see the intruder. It was a geeky looking guy in blue and brown clothing and a strange gauntlet. He seemed to have seen my 'tantrum' and was rather surprised from it. I was about to question who he was when my stomach felt off.

'Uhgg, why do I feel sick?'

'Your body is still in its acclimation process to the neuro-tar your system.'

'What?'

'You need to vomit to feel better.'

I offered no argument and just let it out. Whatever I ate, if I ate, came flying out of my mouth mixed with a large amount of a thick, black liquid. I hurled two or three times before I felt better. As I was getting ready to stand, I heard more vomiting. I looked and saw that Mr. Blue Geek had thrown up as well.

*Hey, Buddy!* I called out. *Do you need any help, because when it comes to first impressions, your failing.* I stood up and carefully walked around the messes the the Geek and I made. I grabbed him by his shirt sleeve and steadied him on his feet. His face had a look of fear, the kind that says, 'Crap! I'm gonna die!'

"Oh come on!" Geek squealed loudly, like a scared school girl. "I'm too young to die!"

'Why is he...Oh! I was speaking Skullcap!'

I cleared my throat before speaking again. "Sorry about getting you sick and scared close to the same time. I have a neuro-tar in my system, a new language forced into my head, and PTSD issues. Not to mention that I was summoned by a cat that looks like a compulsive gambler and was then attacked by her father, who looks like a discount, yet cosmic Iron Man." I shook my head. "And this is after I was attacked and almost killed by a Skullcap, so my visit here hasn't been the best."

Geek suddenly had big eyes. "What?!" He grabbed me by the lapels. "Did you say you met a cat that looks like a compulsive gambler?"

"Wait! Do you know her?"

His face then became flustered. "Um......yes...maybe......are you going to help me?"

'That was random.' "Where'd that last part come from? And I might help you, but that depends on what. Because if this has to do with winning a lady's heart...you'll have to do it alone. I don't see anything profitable in it for me, other than potentially missing limbs."

"Um...no...it's about fighting Nox by absorbing his power so you can fight him on an equal level...and also I'll give you my power which is elemental manipulation which the three elements I control is water, fire, and earth." He said, tacking on a grin.

"OH *HELL* NO!" I then proceeded to walk away.

"Why did you just outright refuse? Especially with the opportunity to gain four extremely vital powers?!" He asked. I twisted my neck, popping a few joints in the process and turned back with a glare on my face.

"Three reasons." I held up three fingers, and counted down with them. "First off, I'm not a power hungry *B^^^^^^*! That's just bad Karma for me. Second off, Noximilien put off more of the 'Overprotective Father' mentality in his forethoughts when he attacked me. So, I don't really have any reason to fight him, other than for information on his reasons to attack me *and to kick his rear end up between his shoulder blades*. Third off, what's your reasons for wanting to fight him?" I ended by pointing my index finger at him.

"Well that fortress you see there is more than just a mobile house. It's specifically designed to absorb an entire species magic killing them in the process, and right now I need to beat him to get back to the world I came from. He's the one who sent me here in the first place." His answer caused me to give the 'are you kidding me' look.

"Hold up. So you want me to help you despite the fact that he could kill me when he's bored. You're just going to send me right into my grave."

"You know Carrow's dad is not Nox right?" Once again, 'are you kidding me' look.

"It's an adoptive relationship, you dolt!" I deadpanned rather loudly. "So, he's just trying..." I was suddenly hit with a headache. I grabbed my head in pain as my legs gave out as well. My vision blurred and I saw that I was standing in front of Nox with Geek and the former Skullcap standing behind me to my right and Carrow to Nox's right. Nox and I seemed to be talking about something, but Vision Me saw or heard something behind both Carrow and Nox. Vision Me smoke dashed past Nox, grabbed Carrow and tossed her towards Geek and the ex-Skullcap just as a dome barrier of earth rose up around them. I then pushed Nox over half a second before I was hit with...a beam of red neon?

The vision and the headache vanished. Geek approached me with a concerned look on his face. I then felt another, yet weaker, headache hit and I blurted out a prophetic poem.

My headache faded quickly. I could see that Geek was visibly worried. "Hey are you okay?" He asked as he weaved some magic into a healing spell of some kind. My fatigue from the vision and prophecy faded and I stood up. I was about to respond when I felt another mental conversation going on in Carrow's connection.

'Hey Carrow I've been poking around the library, and some device's hidden in the basement of the library. I then noticed that there are constant anomalies going on and some of them are powered by an odd form of magic. It seems like it may cause some problems.'

'Um...Vinyl about that there's this guy called Delsin Rowe that popped in from another reality and my dad sent him flying out the window of a 100meter high drop.'

'Hey, Carrow! You should realize that I'm still alive, and wondering WHAT THE HELL NOX'S PROBLEM IS! See if you can get him down here so we can talk like the thousand year old guy I am and the however old guy he should be!'

'Oh...hi there Delly! It's nice to hear. Also, apparently my dad had a vision that involves you, so he wants to change the future by killing you...just to put it simply you better run instead of talk unless you can think of a way to make him not want to end your life.'

'I'm going to spitball a guess on his vision...he saw himself and myself talking about something and then you, geek boy, he get hit with what looks like laser beams.'

'Nope. It was about everyone he knows and loves gets murdered by someone exactly like you or is you along with a little boy impaling him.'

'So he can see the many ways that the future can turn out, rather than an outright prophetic vision.'

'In a way. Honestly, he likes keeping things hidden and manipulating what he wants though, but he doesn't look at every possibility since it would kill him from doing so. I think I'm not entirely sure. As I said, he lets you know what he wants you to know. Wait a sec! How can Delsin know what might happen so accurately?'

'Can I add my two bits?'

'Yes, Screwball.'

'Delsin was exposed to the full measure of Harmonic Magic from the Elements of Harmony in his Equestria. This not only saved his life and greatly extended his life expectancy, but it gave him an unconscious and uncontrollable ability to see the future as it WILL happen. It also causes him to spout out a prophecy related to what he sees in vision.'

'Well that sounds interesting don't you agree Carrow.'

'I would think so, but time can become complicated it's quite odd, so I'm still processing this...wait before I go remember this...FEAR THE PARADOX CHILD...well that's what my dad said' I then felt the connection break from me.

"Well, that happened," I said out loud, forgetting that Geek was still nearby.

"What happened?" He asked, causing me to jump in fright and ready myself to fight. Upon seeing him flinch from my reaction, I calmed down.

"I had a mental conversation with Carrow and she mentioned something about a Paradox Child. Does that ring any bells?" I said to him.

"I'm not sure," he said. "But judging by the name, this is not just another person getting sent here causing the Wakfu bursts. It's probably coming here by it's own free will. Though, I'm not sure what to think of it. The anomaly came from the Everfree forest, so maybe head there." I nodded in agreement and we started towards the Everfree.
