Quite a bit had changed since I had been here in this city six years ago, more than even I wanted to think about, but it seems that whatever these people thought of me was long gone, or at least I hoped however I had no idea and no way to find out either. As we walked through my old home town, the few things that I had noticed that had changed was the businesses that had changed a bit since I had last been here. Gone were some of them, replaced with other things that I never thought would ever move in at all.
I had realized that we had one slight problem and I pointed this out to Alexis. "We have a minor problem, we have no place to stay here, after all I've been gone for six years and so I doubt that I've still got my old home any more, though I know that my lab is still there, but right now I don't want to risk going back there since we don't know how everyone is going to react to me coming back yet.
Walking around I knew that there was only going to be one place that I would feel better setting everything up, and I knew what I was going to do, Alexis noticed the look and didn't like it at all.
"Oh hell no, I know that you've got an idea cooked up in that mind of yours, and no way in hell are you going to do it at all." She stated.
I looked at her. "And just what do you think I'm going to do?" I asked her.
She looked at me, and then turned to look off towards the hills, but in a general direction. "You're going to head towards the hills and then use the minute verse and create something up there for us. The last time that you used the Minute Verse, you looked stressed out as all day lights, after all I know that being there reminds you of being on the training world that you spent just about six centuries on." She told me.
Thing was when it came to being in the Minute Verse (which is what we called it since it was a side verse that slowed everything down to a standstill crawl so that you could be able to move around without any problems and get things done and taken care of that you never thought that you would ever be able to at all.), it did remind me of being on what I called the Training World where I had learned my martial arts skills that had defeated Alexis when we had first encountered each other (I'll save that story for another time). However the stress only came from not being able to get out of there the first time around and that was something that I had to figure out the first time that I was in there, and since I had, I had been back there several times before without her ever knowing about it in the first place.
Looking off towards the hills I saw exactly where I was going to put the house that I had in mind, along with everything else that I was planning on including with the house in the end. "I know that you're thinking that I'm not going to be able to handle it, but I do know that I can handle it. Besides I know exactly what I'm going to put there and everything that's going to go along with it" I told her.
The look that crossed her face wasn't one that I happened to like, but I figured that it was one that was saying if you say so type.
Heading up to the start of a drive way that headed up to a white house also located near where I wanted to put the house that I was planning on building up there. I knew right off that the drive way that I was going to put there would be joining the one for the white house that was there already. However I was planning on adding some things that were actually not of this world and would increase the security level of the house so far up that one would have to be nuts to try anything.
Looking around we didn't see any one around. "Alright, time to enter, and I'll be back in literally a minute." I said, as I took out a small device that looked like a flash drive of sorts. Activating the device, the world around me slowed so far down that there was no sound at all, and nothing moved at all. Actually everything was still moving, but so slowly that it seemed that everything was frozen in time. I attached the device to my belt by putting it into a small pouch, and got to work, I would be traveling back and forth between this world and the first world that I had traveled to, yeah I had gone back there and things had changed dramatically since I had been first there. The civil war that had rocked the place left not only a scarred world, but left it completely changed with no returning to the way things had been in the first place.
All in all I figured that with everything that I had needed to get done that it took me a grand total of twenty years in the minute verse for everything that I had planned to get done and all of the tech that I was installing into the place, and all twenty years was well worth it considering that one of the benefits of the Minute Verse was living like a God of sorts, never needing any sleep or rest at all, however I did eat since that was the one thing that the Minute Verse couldn't take care of at all. When I emerged from the Minute Verse by deactivating the device, Alexis looked at me and then her eyes widened at the sight she saw behind me.
"Ah, how long were you in there for?" She asked me.
Looking back at the newly paved driveway and up at the new house on the hill, I gave a smile. "I believe that I spent a total of twenty years in the Minute Verse, that way I got everything done that I wanted to get done, and no the house didn't take that long to build, that only took a couple of months, no it was everything else that I was including with the house that took longer to put it all in correctly. And currently right now, you and I are the only ones allowed on the property. Anyone else that tries to cross this gate will find themselves transported exactly thirty miles away in the direction that they were crossing in the first place. That little idea was one of the best security features that I had thought of, of course when they get sent that far, they're not only not going to realize what happened, they're going to wonder if something might've happened to them, yeah it's called being teleported thirty miles away from what you were trying to break into in the first place." I told her. "That should teach them a thing or two when it comes to trying to break into this house." I told her
Alexis and I walked up the connected driveway to the house that I had just literally built here on the hillside. The view of the place was amazing and looked out over the entire city, however this house held a secret, one that only a select few would ever know at all, and it started out with Alexis and me for the current time. "Now the house here has more to it than what you just see here, there's an entire world right under the place that no one but us for now will ever see." I told her. "And it's a place that we can use to keep the peace on this world." I finished.
Alexis knew that there was one thing that we had to deal with way before we got started with keeping the peace on this world, we had to deal with the problem that had sent me running from this world in the first place, and with that we had no idea where in the world to start with in the first place.
