Los Angeles, CA, USA
Two years ago.
The shimmering bluish-white portal opened with a slight hum and the muscular man in the tattered remnants of what was once a tailored white suit stepped through the portal. His
white hair was mussed, and he held a small gadget the size of a cell phone in his right hand. A look of relief crossed his face as he looked around and recognized downtown
Los Angeles. He had made it, after all this time. He had escaped into the past to warn himself of the impending danger. This time, they would succeed. This time it would
work. His offices should be located right around this corner. . .He stopped dead in his tracks as he rounded the corner and saw a building similar to his own, but not. Where, in his home universe, Paragon Industries stood, in this universe he was now directly in front of something called Lupin Technologies. The immediate realization dawning on his mind that he hadn’t made it home after all, but was now temporarily trapped in a parallel universe until he could recharge and make another jump.
