Breaking Barriers

Doors of Opportunities

"So how we gonna fight off a snake the length of the six school buses if you don't have your special sense to help us out?" Woo asks as they look at the serpent from the Las Vegas sign they're hiding behind.

"Easy, we'll distract it and get around it towards the door."

"I have my fair share of tricks of my sleeve, think we should try them out?" Jimmy asks, swiftly pulling out a card of black diamonds with the flick of his wrist.

"I got your back, go for it Jimmy." Spider-Man sneaks around towards a nearby crane protruding from the sandy ground.

"Here goes nothing." Jimmy swallows before running towards the serpent waving his arms and loudly calling it out, the serpent launches at him at lightning speed only to bite down into a flurry of cards with Jimmy nowhere in sight.

*Close call!* Jimmy runs towards the door as fast as possible, avoiding the snake's shifting body otherwise being crushed by the mass alone.

Spider-Man leaps around the serpent firing webs at it to immobilize it as the two head towards the door, opening it and entering into it.

They enter into a dark void only being able to see the other and still standing on something as they try to find a way outta this. Before could say anything a faint light appears in the far distance.

"Let's head there fast, this place is giving the creeps!" Spidey says as the two begin running towards the light but it keeps getting farther away from them.

"Wait wait, I think I know what's going on!" Jimmy stops him as the two stop and watch the light beginning to get closer towards them before speeding at them incredibly fast.

The door opens up and consumes them in a flash as the two fall down into a spiral of flashing colors and sounds all happening at once before falling through the doors of a lavish ballroom filled with wealthy people all in black and white.

"Okay I'm seriously more weirded out than ever." Jimmy comments as the duo pick themselves up noticing the people around them haven't even reacted to their presence.

"Must be like NPCs." Spidey says poking at one woman talking to another not phased even a bit, Spidey's spider sense still not going off as they walk around the people.

"I don't think we can keep up with these random realities forever Spider-Man, we're talking infinite amounts of them and time could possibly work differently here as well."

"Remember when I said this could be connected to someone?" Spidey turns to Woo.

"What you got in mind?"

"Fire a shot in the air. If we're still technically in Westview then whoever is here should be able to hear the gunshot and become alert."

Jimmy pulls out his pistol and rings out a shot in the air, everyone in the room now turning to them with blank looks on their faces.

"I think it worked." Spidey says before their surroundings fade around them and their color restored now being on the other side of the Westview barrier.

They look around and look to see Jessica Jones waking up from her nap looking puzzled at them.

"I thought you guys we're in the town already?" She asks walking towards the barrier scratching her back, ignoring their warnings as she punches right through the barrier, prying the hole apart with her superhuman strength till she got to the other side.

"Wait how did you do that?" Spidey asks in disbelief alongside Jimmy at her nonchalant entrance.

"What are you talking about, it's just a stupid force field now let's head to town cause I need to pee." She walks pass them following the trail that leads to the town up ahead.

"Well it couldn't be in our heads, we just went through all that unless the barrier was testing us to get in."

"Like a trial?" Jimmy raises his brow.

"Maybe, let's keep up." The two walk besides Jess as they head into town.

They make it into Westview, looking around noticing the town was eerily quiet as people looked at them with a emptiness in their eyes showing from their smiles.

"This place is really a fucking creep show, everyone looking like us like they belong in a damn cult." Jessica frowns at her surroundings, opening her bottle and taking a swing of her hard liquor outta her distain.

"It's quite off putting, maybe they're under some sort of spell or drug."

"If it's another Kilgrave situation I'm snapping whoever's neck this belongs to, least thing anyone needs is a monster like that running around anywhere." Jessica grits her teeth getting increasingly angry.

"That won't be necessary Miss Jones." A voice with a slight accent says as the two look up to see Wanda Maximoff ascending down to them with her abilities, wearing blue and red plaid with jeans and rocking a large curly mane of hair on her head.

"Wanda Maximoff?" Jimmy asks bewildered at this revelation.

"The weird witch lady from the Avengers?" Jessica gives a wtf face at her feeling the same way.

"Yeah, that's her alright."
