"Fever Dreams"

Short summary

Jonathan "Nate" Thames, also known as Heat Seeker, recalls a recurring nightmare that he can only describe as a "world of fire." Thames's subconscious forces him into interact with the ghosts of his past, present day friends and foes, and threats to his imminent future.

Spoiler Points/Trivia

• Nate awakens on the kitchen floor (his last location in 5CC's Heat Seeker 2). Briefly before recognizing the World of Fire he hallucinates that he has been moved outside into an alleyway.
• The schoolbag filled with drugs in the alleyway has an image of Crazy Cat. Crazy Cat is the universe equivalent of Demon Dog, both being kids tv show characters.
• During his fight with Wind Duster, Brooks calls him his nemesis. This could mean that Nate either believes he is still a villain or a much less honorable hero than Wind Duster.
• In another hallucination, Wind Duster is replaced by the Quans and Mr. Yun. Yun calls Heat Seeker a coward, referring to the fact that Nate has not faced Yun since he switched sides (joining the CBTF).
• Nate is saved by CBTF's Last Resort. During Last Resort's cameo, they briefly suggest that he stands to improve the value of his life if he becomes a hero.
• While burying Nate alive in the cemetery, Bryce Conrad Durst reminds Nate of the two most destructive moments of his past: Nate's overdose, and his first murder.
• Comments from Alpha and details of Tessa's appearance indicate that Nate's girlfriend was gangraped and presumably murdered during his absence.
• Both Tess and Bryce call him a traitor. In the dream Tess call him a traitor for abandoning her when she needed him the most. Bryce's views Nate as a traitor for informing the Police of their illegal narcotics operation.
• Heat Seeker digs himself out of the grave only to experience a fourth hallucination a top Scahill Tower. He begins to experience disastrous side effects when his utilizer device seizes control over his body.
• Unlike other dreams where he destroys his city, Heat Seeker battles a gigantic beast that flings fireballs from the sky. The unknown beast is the true creator of the World of Fire, claiming dominion over this portion of Nate's subconscious.
• Heat Seeker loses the battle but uses the fire within himself to become one with the alien threat.
• Despite experiencing problems with restoring Nate's utilizer, Dr. Clayton proudly reports her success to Tori Scahill.

Just so we're clear, Heatseeker happened in 5th Column but to him it was a hallucination...is this correct? Because the Quans, Wind Duster's crossover, star dust all came out of Heatseeker.

He's in his universe, popped into ours and is back in his...I think I got that, unless I totally missed the point

@batkevin74: I think it's more like universal reflections. The heatseeker in the regular 5th column is still around, just not being used at the moment.

@batkevin74: No. 5th Column wasn't a hallucination to him. Essentially this current storyline is a flash forward event is based on where the mainstream Heat Seeker story could've gone if certain elements in the universe were different. As far as the mainstream universe is involved the original Heat Seeker is passed out on the kitchen floor in some drug coma limbo unless I or another writer changes that.

@knightofthechronicle: Bingo!

"the original Heat Seeker is passed out on the kitchen floor in some drug coma limbo unless I or another writer changes that." Hmmmm :)

Hmm interesting indeed, sorry about the late comment BTW. Seems solid to me, ultimate Heatseeker seems to be in a bad way though. As for mainstream Seeker, looks like he's food for the Buzzard if he doesn't awaken soon.

Ultimate Universe of 5th Column. Sweet! Could be fun.

@knightofthechronicle: @batkevin74: @impurestcheese: @tommythehitman: The new pm should be up in a few hours.

@dngn4774: Did you get MY PM?

@tommythehitman: Yes, I have it open with about 12 other tabs. I'm going to try to finish up the reborn pm first then I'll read it to check if it makes sense. I'll also check with you after in case the universe changes I list in the new pm gives you different ideas on what to do.

So you expect one of these for every issue? I'm a little confused on that rule.

@alexander_wolffe: I'd appreciate it but I won't make any of the wiki stubs mandatory. I get how doing this might become frustrating over time.

@dngn4774: Ah, I see. Makes sense.

Alrighty then.
