This is a short story that is a crossover between Gizmo2015's IG AU and my IG AU.
Gizmo2015's IG fan fiction which help's provide explanation is here:

My work gets referenced in this story mainly with the third pose story, but also a little with the second pose story:
ironandsteel.webcomic.ws/TheBackStories/
A few things about this short story first aside from it's meant to be a character diary entry.
When I was done writing the third pose story in outline, it dawned on me an AU Doctor Spectrum made sense to be used in the story. However I couldn't think how to fit him in at that point, so he didn't make it into the story. He will although be in Iron and Steel. This short is set in between the events of the third pose story "FOH" and the coming comic story.
Also I'm not too sure what to say here without giving spoilers. In my AU an organization exists named R.A.G.E. . They deal with the more nuttier side of IG if you can believe that.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I keep thinking back on what I did and I'm still not regretting it. Dirt on Claw. He's actually connected to that mess that led to MAD's HQ getting destroyed. What he and Doctor Focus did back in the day. Me discovering this, that's what happens when he doesn't truly delete files from his computer. He knew when he hired me I could hack, guess it never dawned on him I might use that skill within the company. At least he didn't kill me when he discovered I discovered what he did.
But being forced for a job assignment to locate a good permanent location for MAD's new headquarters. I think he's having fun torturing me about this. Like when he sent me to Brownsville, Texas. Damn heat, but would he send me to a better location, like one without cacti. North of the border instead of right on south of the border. Like say Halifax? No, next location Death Valley. Yeah that's a subtle a location for our base of operations. But at least Pittsburgh made a twisted form of sense. Can't hate a city with a sports team named "Steelers".
Although in this whole traveling mess trip he's sent me on, one place in it showed lots of promise. ...That is until I made a discovery about it that took it out of the running for the new HQ. Heck, this place should have never been on the map for that to begin with. I'm not even sure how it happened actually!
Middle of no man's land Ohio for scouting locations, and some kind of light heads for me and blinds me for a second and goes past me from a building which frankly doesn't look too interesting. Next thing I know the place I'm in doesn't look so country. It's a damn city now! Short discovery later I find I'm in Riverton, but not the one MAD holds a grudge against. Not the one in Minnesota where HAPPY's lead entrance supposedly is. Nope, I'm still in Ohio and guessing you know, like maybe this is another dimension or something. Riverton ah, well at least it's not that hell place nearly all us got sent packing too except our boss who abandoned ship at the time ....brrrrr.
So I check out this other place and alternate Riverton and notice something appears to be missing. There doesn't seem to be any presents of HAPPY. Great thing, and it made me wonder about how to get back home to tell Claw about it. No HAPPY no trouble. MAD living large ...or so I thought. Damn it, this place has Elite too, I mean cyborgs.
I thought I'd test out seeing if the local PD was as incompetent as what I know back where I should be. Turns out that's a 50 / 50, that they got on the scene of the crime I made fast. But who should show up and show incompetence exists here? This place's Inspector Gadget, but a different one. A dense one, but his partner she was a different case. A girl I heard him call Gizmo. She seemed to know what to do ..too well. Lucky me for knowing how to escape from being handcuffed. But that getting away from the city jail was short lived in escaping their justice. That teen half-robot figured out somehow I'd be doing this and tried to nab me again.
No success in that thank goodness. Because and I'm grateful I got right about this. I was able to go back to what I coined "ground zero" for where I was when I got to this Riverton. Lo and behold that building seemed to be there to a degree. Like it was there, but only part of the way. It sort of reminded me of those Scolex agent's looks, the ones that tried to take their revenge on MAD and failed at it. There but not there. Anyway thanks to light beaming from it, that I made sure to get caught in. I escaped Gizmo's grasp a second time and made it home ..well at least home middle of no where Ohio that is.
Normal Ohio, but for how long? I went up to that building and could see it wasn't having those flashes emanating from it any more. But it ..it was hiding something. It wasn't what it appeared to be that's for sure. A business building for multiple small companies. When I asked one person about the flashes, they asked me who I worked for. I didn't exactly feel like doing my normal lying given the kind of day I'd had, so I told the truth for once.
That person was not happy to hear my employer was MAD. And no he didn't work for HAPPY or seem to support them. He said and I quote this to you diary.
"Rage doesn't want your kind around here. Leave before you regret it."
Fine then if that's how this bozo wants it, I'll leave this place. Who needs forced traveling to alternate versions of Riverton anyway? This place is home and there is nothing here worth seeing reappear in this area. I hope the next place Claw sends me, not only doesn't have HAPPY's presence. But also has no cyborgs and has good Brandy Cocktails because I sure feel like I could use one right now.
