Stands in the MCU – I Don’t Want To Have A Bizarre Adventure!! [HIATUS]

004 – Mystery Disease



A familiar ceiling.

But I feel strangely light.

I looked around and saw that everything seems the same.

But the ceiling is higher.

And the shelves are bigger.

"What the- WHAT?!"

What happened to my voice?

It's in a higher pitch.

I guess you could say that it's a feminine voice but I don't really wanna admit it.

I looked at my hands and saw that they were made of paper.

"PAPER?!"

I'm wearing an orange... plug suit?

And my voice...

"Am I...?"

I ran panicked trying to find a mirror or a reflective surface to see my face but I ended up tripping and falling into a cliff.

"AHHHHH!"

"Gah! Cough cough..."

Surprised by the fall I woke up in my original body.

"Was... was that a dream?"

I ran to my sanctuary, almost tripping, and look at my desk.

There's nothing here.

Moving my eyes to the floor, I saw the Asuka paper doll.

"I'm pretty sure it was at my desk before I left"

*Scribble scribble*

By my right side, I saw my Stand sitting at the top of a shelf drawing in his notepad.

"Did you, or rather, we do that?"

"Soiya!"

He showed me a diagram of me sleeping and an arrow pointing to a paper doll.

"So when I sleep my consciousness transfers to the paper doll?"

"So-so"

He shook his head from left to right.

He turned the page, doodled something, and showed me the notepad again.

It's two eyes and in the middle, there's an arrow pointing to the other eye.

One it's opened and the other is closed.

"I don't think I get it but, let's see..."

Turning the paper doll to me, I covered my right eye.

Asuka's right eye closed for a second and then opened itself.

I can see myself from the point of view of the paper doll!

"That's so fucking cool, holy shit."

"Ok, what if I..."

This time I covered my mouth.

"I'd rather be hated for who I really am than loved for someone I'm not"

I heard the paper doll in Asuka's English dubbed voice.

THIS OPENS SO MANY POSSIBILITIES!

Like...

"I lov-"

No, I can't make her say it...

It would be against my moral codes...

Let's try other things.

I set down the paper doll on the floor and sag in front of it.

Without moving my body, I thought about moving my left arm without doing it.

She waved awkwardly at me.

It's tough to move it, I have to concentrate really hard.

I tried to make her walk to me but she kept falling over.

Looks like this will take a lot of practice.

"Maybe if I meditate I can transfer my consciousness to her just like I did while I was asleep?"

Trying to clean my mind, meditating, and failing for one hour straight, I ended up falling asleep sitting on the floor.

I opened my eyes and saw myself through Asuka.

"I look like a giant monster..."

Climbing up myself, which was really fun because I wasn't afraid of falling, I tried to wake myself up.

"WAKE UP!"

I screamed and slapped myself, somehow making a paper cut on my shoulder.

"AHH!"

I woke up from my trance and flinched from the accidental paper cut.

"This could be a really stealthy way to murder someone"

Looking at the rest of the paper dolls, I had an idea.

"What about two at once?"

I got Shinji and set him in front of Asuka.

Turning around, I closed both of my eyes this time.

Trippy, I can see through both of them.

I'm gonna be a little childish right now, don't mind me.

"Shinji, when are you going to stop being stupid and kiss me?"

"Erm, l-look there's Rei and my soul mate- I mean Kaworu, I can't decide who to date..."

"Hmph. Baka!"

This is so much fun.

---

After hours of role-playing- I mean training, I decided to try another thing.

"Doll Parts!"

"Soiya soya!"

I gave him a small sheet of paper.

He drew a realistic eye in the middle and threw it out of the window like a shuriken.

I covered my left eye and looked through the paper.

Seeing New York from up in the air is fun but makes me want to vomit.

People going to work, to school, cars, buses, my neighbor taking a shower.

Ok, this might be too much power for me to wield.

Passing through my first crime, I saw what looks like to be a meteorite in the middle of a small crater in an alleyway.

"Maybe it's from the alien invasion that happened and they forgot to clean it up? How bizarre"

Never thought I would say "alien invasion that happened" like it's nothing out of the ordinary.

Maybe we should see the news and see a bit of context from the society I'm not participating.

Turning my PC on, I went to a local news website.

"More and more New York residents are reporting strange symptoms of an unknown disease"

*Click*

"During what we today call it 'Battle of New York' where the Avengers fought against the Chitauri army, micrometeorites fell across New York City.

Residents near those micrometeorites reported developing blisters across their bodies with the majority of them having to go to a hospital where they died in horrific ways.

Authorities are attempting to take the meteorites away from public areas but most citizens are saying that 'It's too late' and that 'the damage is already done'.

Small protests around Tony Stark's tower are occurring every day since then.

They are blaming the Avengers and demanding compensation for the consequences of the alien invasion and the micrometeorites."

So it's really happening.

It should be pretty obvious if you think about it.

What are the odds anyway?

I was having protagonist syndrome and thought I was the only one but it looks like I was wrong.

I'm not the only one who has a Stand.
