A few moments before entering the SkEA Center office, Paradox noticed Sir Pent and Ruby just leaving the place. 'It is always nice to see a friendly face... or helmet...' Paradox thought while retributing the kind nod of acknowledgment of his fellow hero.
"Speaking of which.." were the words he heard as he crossed the office's door. "Hello sir, thankyou for coming..this is the sidekick we have arranged for your first interview" Reanne gestured to Tenalia. Paradox saw the little girl, Tenalia Ceolmen. She looked a bit different from the other sidekicks, she was probably much younger than any other woman there.
But, strangely, why didnt this fact surprized Paradox? Why he, the man whose mother was even younger than him, wasnt surprized about his sidekick's age?
"Hello, I'm Tenalia Ceolmen. I look forward to our interview." Tenalia stuck her hand out to the man. "Tenalia Ceolmen, I am pleased to meet you. I am Paradox" Our hero's introduction was quite formal, yet he showed a true smile. "You may continue your interview in the waiting room or move to room 4 down the hall for privacy"
Paradox would now have an interview with the girl. Better saying, Paradox would have four interviews with her. Yes, because at this exact moment, a new Crossroads was created. Now Paradox was the unity of the infinite. He was one, being many...
But unfortunately, our hero was the only one who could percieve or understand this happening, since the event of the Crossroads produced no directly perceptible phenomenon inside the limited boundaries of this thing called 'reality'. No reality dweller would be able to see, fell or even imagine a Crossroads.
______________________________________
Now Paradox had four realities at his disposal, of which only one would become real. The three others would be nothing but unreal sandboxes where Paradox could simulate events that would never be trully realized.
Reality 1 The Dialog "I believe that Miss Ceolmen would fell more confortable if the interview took place at room 4" Paradox decided without doubt. And then our hero opened the office's door, inviting the girl with his eyes. Paradox's eyes were completely black and, indeed, they were unreadeable. Lands of mystery, Paradox's eyes reflected only the unknown.
The unknown... This, which is the source of our greatest fears, is also the hearth of our hopes. The unknown is what makes us wake up dreaming with a new day...
As they moved away from the office, they noise caused by heroes and villains decreased gradually. "Tenalia, I am really curious about you and I would like to hear about your person, your goals and your powers"
They now arrived at room 4, which was identical to room 26. Paradox opened the door, letting Tenalia enter first. After taking his seat, he continued. "So, tell me something about you"
Reality 2 The Test This reality simply mirrors reality 1... for now...
Reality 3 Data Gathering "I believe that Miss Ceolmen would fell more confortable if the interview took place at room 4" Paradox decided without doubt. Soon he arrived at room 4. He seemed a bit hurried at this reality. Pulling a chair he sat and began the interview. "So lets start this" he talked as a scientist. "Tenalia Ceolmen is your name right? How old are you? Which are your powers? Where did you came from? Can you drive? Which is you favorite color? Do you have any pet? Which is your favorite toothpaste brand? - Which, who, how, where - Paradox started to bombard her with questions.
Reality 4 Abilities! "Room 4? Interview? Pfff... Lets skip this boring part. Show me your abilities! TO THE TRAINING ROOM!" Paradox shouted with energy as he pointed towards a board that pointed the direction to the training room. He did not knew if he could use that room, he simply grabbed Tenalia and rushed to there.
