Yeah. Another multiverse reaction book, ladies and gentlemen.
Here's the exact story path the Robert in the audience took:
Episode 1:
He threw alcohol at Flambae.
He chose not to kiss Blazer.
Episode 2:
He bro fisted Royd.
He covered for Invisigal p...
"The fuck are we?!" Flamabe shouted as he lit fire in his hand.
"I'll answer that question." said Hansen.
And then this idiot appeared out of nowhere on the stage:

"The fuck are you supposed to be?" Visi questioned.
"I'm a Luke Hansen." he introduced.
"You're A Luke Hansen? The fuck does that mean?" Robert asked.
"I'm from a different universe. Yeah, the multiverse is real." Luke said, "And in some universes all of you are fictional characters in a popular video game called Dispatch."
"Are we all trippin' balls or something?" Sonar said to the others.
"I assure you all you're not." Luke said, "The game is sort of a multiple choice thing. You play as Robert and make different decisions throughout the game that affect the story and the outcome of certain events. The story is split into eight episodes and it begins with Robert when his Mecha Man suit was destroyed and then Blazer gave him his job at SDN, and it ends with the final battle of him and the others going up against Shroud at SDN."
"What do you mean I make different decisions? The fuck are you saying?" Robert questioned.
"What I'm saying is that there are other versions of you out there in the multiverse that made different choices than you did during your time being a dispatcher for SDN while you're Mecha Man suit was being repaired. The choices you made and the choices your other selves made are the choices the player of Dispatch has the option to choose from." Luke explained, "For example, at the end of the game the player has the option to kill Shroud while playing as you but doesn't have to. You would never kill Shroud, but there are other versions of you who had no problem with doing it."
The characters of Dispatch were shocked.
"So what other choices are there that people made while playing as me in this Dispatch game?" Robert asked.
"There are some tiny decisions that don't really affect the main story a whole ton, and there are some very big story choices that affect the story. For example, you cut Coupé from the Z-Team, but there are other variants of you who cut Sonar instead. And then Sonar was the one to join Shroud and the Red Ring." Luke explained.
Everyone couldn't believe this. Sonar felt an extreme amount of guilt knowing that he would've joined Shroud and tried to kill his friends if Robert had chosen to keep Coupé on the Z-Team instead of him.
"And at the very end of the game Robert has the option to welcome either Coupé or Sonar back into the Z-Team depending on which of them he cut from the team, or he has the option to let them go to jail with the rest of the Red Ring." Luke revealed.
Coupé felt an extreme sense of gratitude knowing that Robert chose to give her a second chance, unlike other versions of him.
"Another big story decision that Robert could've made was adding Phenomaman to the Z-Team instead of Waterboy." Luke said, "But there's one very major decision that would've affected the story the most. Halfway through the game the player has the option to have Robert hook up with Invisigal, but they also the have option to make him hook up with Blonde Blazer instead."
Everyone was even more shocked. None more so than Robert, Courtney, and Mandy.
"But don't worry, even though other variants of Robert fell in love with Blazer, the Robert in the theater with you all only ever loved Visi. In fact at the end of each Dispatch episode it shows the percentage of other players who made the same decisions as the player themself made, and the majority of people chose to have Robert hook up with Visi. In fact the majority of the decisions your version of Robert made were also the ones most players chose. At least last time I checked. I haven't played the game in a month or so." Luke reassured.
"Well that's a fuckin' relief." Visi said after feeling a tinge of jealousy from Luke's previous reveal.
"Yeah but there are still story options after Robert hooked up with you that wouldn't have liked. For example, your Robert forgave you for putting a bomb on the back of his Mecha Man suit and nearly ruining his hero life, but other Roberts did the exact opposite and dumped you. And there's an even one of the bad endings where you would've killed Shroud and gone back to being a villain." Luke revealed.
Visi was horrified at this revelation but still extremely grateful that things didn't turn out that way in their universe. Robert was also extremely grateful.
"But let's move past all that." Luke said, "You're probably wondering why I brought you all here."
"Why you shot us out of a motherfuckin' portal into a giant-ass movie theater? Yeah. We have some fuckin' questions about that." Chase said.
"Well I'll just get straight to the point. You're all gonna sit your asses down in my theater and watch other versions of yourself as a form of entertainment. And I don't mean the other versions of you I had just told you all about. I mean universes where things are extremely different. Even some universes where you're all the characters of famous movies and TV shows and etc." Luke explained.
"And why would we want to do that?" Coupé questioned him.
"Yeah. Not to mention we got superheroing to do back in our universe. We don't really got time for this nonsense." Punch-Up added.
"Time and space work differently in this theater of mine. Once I send you all back only a couple seconds will have passed from when you all left." Luke said, "So what do you all say? You all want some multiversal entertainment or what?"
The group all looked at each other and nodded, then they looked back at Luke.
"Yeah, fuck it. Why the hell not?" Robert said.
"Okie-dokie. Take your seats and we'll get started." Luke said.
Everyone took their seats and Luke booted up the gigantic holographic movie screen.
"By the way. What is this movie theater we're in? Is this in a different universe?" Mandy asked Luke.
"This place is a pocket dimension I created about seven years ago from another group of people from a superhero world and franchise. A franchise I now despise." Luke answered, "But enough with that. On with the show!"
No requests. Remember that, ladies and gentlemen.
Also FYI the day I posted this first chapter is also my 24th birthday.
