Ye Shall Be As Gods? – Class 11, Period 3

“Alternate realities,” she said, once her class had assembled for the period. “Simply by virtue of being here, at this school, every single one of you has at least some small experience with the concept and what, exactly, an alternate reality entails.”

Juli leaned back, hands crossed over her stomach. “In some cases it’s as ‘simple’ as winding up in a world profoundly changed by the alteration of a single event--whether large or small. A war won in one world was lost in another version of the same world, for instance. Or, on a smaller scale, a person gets into an accident and winds up falling in love with someone they’d never have met if not for that. In another version the accident never happens, and they meet someone else.” She smiled faintly. “I have heard even of people who have awoken as a different version of themselves. Older perhaps, or a different past, or a different gender even.” Listening to old radio broadcasts did pay off sometimes.

“Following that concept, today all of you will be considering two scenarios wherein you are but are not yourselves, and do your best--with the information provided—to hypothesize just how extreme any differences from your present self might be. This is an exercise in creativity; feel free to run with it as you will--whether alone or in a group.”

Sky had what can only be described as a shiteating grin on his face while doing his usual listening and note-taking today. After what had happened last night which is being SPed, la, he might have even come close to bouncing one or two times.

Oh, alternate universes. And suddenly there was Jen, hating mirrors all over again.

Anemone hummed happily and started sketching images from her weekend as Serra in the margins of her notebook. So far, she was a fan of alternate universes.

Peter thought briefly of the alternate hims he knew of. There was the older him that Jamie, Teddy, and pretty much every other superhero knew. There was the younger him from a messed up Virginia Colony.

And there was the pig.

He wasn't going to talk about the pig no matter what.
