My System & My Academy of Superpowers

"Do you think it will work?" Gwen asked.

"Probably…" Ryan still had a certain hunch that this was probably… just probably not going to work out in the end.

"I do not think it is going to work out,"

Ryan and Gwen stopped running when they had come far from the world bazaar and the shop they left Naomi, Devon alone in. 

"Uhm… I have a little doubt too. I think what we are doing is… I mean-"

"Stupid? I feel the same," Gwen grabbed Ryan's hand.

"What can we do?" Ryan asked, looking at Gwen.

"Let Devon have one shot at this. Naomi is already in love, or, like you, it would not be easy to win her over."

"So you knew too huh?"

"I am in love with you too so I know how it feels to be in love with you. It was clear for me to spot Naomi's feelings for you."

Ryan nodded, "And… you are okay with that?"

Gwen turned her face to Ryan, "Why should I care? You are single anyway, so it is your choice if you want to make Naomi your girlfriend or not."

"What…?"

"All I care is…" she pulled Ryan into her boobs, "You are mine, and I am yours. I do not care about anything else." She smiled and hugged Ryan tightly.

"What sins did I do that I got you?" Ryan muttered.

"Uhm~" She squeezed Ryan even tighter, more like, she was choking him.

"Tap- tap!" Ryan patted Gwen's forearm, "You will kill me!" he muffled.

"Anyway, let us forget about Devon and Naomi for now. And let us focus on your first date." Gwen sneered at Ryan.

'Do I get EXP for going out on dates?' Ryan asked Professor.

"Unless you are a playboy." 

'I am not.' Ryan smiled.

"Yes," Ryan pulled himself out of Gwen's grip, "Let us go!" 

"Uh, where are we though?"

"Ah…" Gwen turned her head around the area they were in, she spotted a Disney character holding the area's map in its hand, "Let us check that map." 

She pointed towards the map and ran towards it. She took a good look at the map. The map had the name of the area they were in, the rides allocated in that area, and the area next to the present area.

"Ahh, okay, let us see…" Gwen muttered, "In the west direction we have Adventureland, to our right is the Tomorrowland, behind us is the place we came from, the world bazaar, and… in the north direction is the Fantasyland. She scrolled through the digital screen pad.

She lifted her head from the pad and looked behind her. She saw the big cinderella castle standing high, so high that its height seemed to strangely touch the starry skies. 

"No, where are we right now?"

"Horrorland?" she raised her head, "Horrorland, they say."

"Eh? Never heard of that except Stine's books." Ryan replied. He looked around himself.

Strangely there were very few people present around him, 'I hope this is not that Horrorland.' Ryan gulped.

"This place does not exist though…" Gwen raised her eyes, "I mean, at least, I never heard of this place."

"Maybe it is their new invention?" Ryan guessed.

"They would have put it online… not like I was following them anyway." Gwen shrugged.

"Where are we according to our location on the map?" Ryan stepped forward, he dug his head into the map.

"Still… there are very few people compared to other sites of attractions." Gwen moved her head around the place. 

There were all kinds of people, families, bachelors, couples, kids, teens, infants, adults, etc. But they were walking like robots. 

"Gwen, where are we on the map?" Ryan asked again.

"Oh," Gwen went back to the map, she scrolled out the screen, tracked the current position, and showed it to Ryan, "You see this plaza?" Gwen pointed on a circular design drawn in the middle of the map.

"Yeah."

"We are here. In front of us, you see this cinderella castle? And behind us is the bazaar we came from." Gwen explained, Ryan nodded, "And you can read those labeling. Adventure, horror, tomorrow, fantasylands."

"Yeah, but, what I want to say is even though it is in the middle of the whole Disneyland, and it is the main plaza then why do we have so few people around here? This should be the main route for the rush of people." Ryan pointed out.

"Like… this land never existed before. Why would they build a place in the middle of everything?" Gwen asked.

"Something is strange, Gwen."

"D- do not say it, you will scare me."

"Come on, my Gwen should not get scared this easily," 

Gwen wanted to smile and hide behind Ryan at the same time she wanted to stand courageous and brave to meet up Ryan's expectations.

"Let us ask someone," Gwen held Ryan's hand as they walked towards a girl and a boy, probably couples.

"Uh… excuse me," Ryan stopped in front of the guy, "I think we are lost, can you please help us?" Gwen asked.

The guy stopped, a few seconds later, his girlfriend stopped. The guy turned his head to Ryan, stared at him for long. 

Ryan was expecting a reply from the robotic man but he got none. The man turned around and started walking with his girlfriend.

"Shit, why do I think we just… we just landed into something that does not exist?" Gwen muttered.

Ryan turned to her, "Like? What?" He asked.

"Like… well, did we slip through universes?"

"Hah, the multiverse?" Ryan felt his heart beating fast.

"No… what if we just discover a portal and go through it?" She guessed, "I mean, this does not make any sense."

"Or do you think this is just one of Disneyland's attractions to scare the visitors off?" That was probably the worst guess, "But why would they do it?"

"Mainly, how would they do it?" Gwen added to Ryan's question.

"Portals?" Ryan asked, "They have opened a portal somewhere in the middle of Disneyland, if someone by chance passes through it, boom! They are in another world…."

"That… is possible," Gwen went into deep thought, "We have a bigger problem then, what is this place?" 

"Horrorland, they say," Ryan replied. 

"But Ryan, remember what you told us?" Ryan looked at Gwen with no clue, "Passing through portals is the worst experience?" Ryan opened his mouth, "Did you feel like it somewhere when we ran from the World Bazaar?" She inquired. 

"....no," he shook his head. Ryan thought and tried remembering before answering.

"We- we got to figure what this is! There is no human around here. Everyone is acting robotic."

"Man, I just hope this is one of Disneyland's attractions." Ryan wished.

He was feeling kind of helpless cause they both were not were able to find what was going on, where they were, what will happen next, who else is here with them.

Everything was going downside when suddenly… an idea clicked in Ryan's head. This was the most basic thing he should have done.

"Professor, help me." Ryan went to the professor for help.

"How? You and your girlfriend have already figured the mystery out."

"What mystery? Is this Disneyland's doing?"

"No."

"What then?"

"You have figured it out, just think. I can not solve every mystery for you." Professor went silent. 

'Hello? Hey!' No response. 

"Did we slip through…?" 

"Huh?" Ryan turned to Gwen, he heard her whisper something.

"Ah, uh-Uhm. It is nothing." Ryan nodded. Gwen shook her head.

'Right, it will be stupid to think that way.' Gwen shook that thought out of her head.

Ryan started walking, Gwen saw him leaving his place and walking forward. She glanced at Ryan and in front of him.

Gwen started walking with him too, 'Unlike the actual castle we saw before entering Horrorland, it was much brighter and cheerful.' Ryan thought to himself.

'But since the time we entered the Horrorland…. Everything seems dim and gloomy.' Gwen thought.

"Say, Gwen…"

"Yeah?"

"Do you think…. We are still in Disneyland?" Ryan asked.

"Cinderella castle is still standing high and long in front of us, so yes. The environment around us is the same as before too… we still are in Disneyland."

"Do you think this is one of Disneyland's things?"

"Probably not. What do you think?"

"Same. so in conclusion…" Ryan continued walking, "We are in Disneyland's Horrorland but… the Horrorland is not in Disneyland."

"What the…"

"Pretty fucked up, right?" Ryan asked. He continued walking straight ahead. 

"Where are we going, though?" Gwen asked.

"To see how far we can go at this rate." Ryan replied, "We might find a dead end somewhere,"

Gwen did not reply, instead, she was thinking about one of her own theories, "But, what if we walk back where we came from instead of walking forward?"

Gwen suggested, Ryan stopped at the instant. He turned around with a smile.

"We could try that,"

"Yeah?" Gwen nodded.

"My God, my mind is not working." Ryan started running in the opposite direction. Gwen followed behind him.

The world bazaar was right in front of their eyes, within a few hundred meters. Ryan and Gwen continued running.

Ryan hoped to pass through a portal and go back to their world, he found him running without stopping.

He reached the world bazaar, "Naomi, Ryan, find if they here." Gwenn was panting for air.

Ryan agreed, he searched for the shop he left Naomi and Devon in, he went inside the shop and it was totally a different view inside.

'No one….' His throat went dry, 'Nobody.'

From behind, Gwen joined him, "As I thought…" she continued panting, "Ryan…" 

Ryan turned his head to Gwen who was panting hard behind him.

"Ryan, did we just…" she panted, "Did we just slip through the time or something? Or did we really slip through one universe to another?"

"....probably….. Both." 

"You and your girlfriend have already solved the mystery." Professor's words rang in Ryan's head.
