They could''ve expanded more on people exploring the uses of their powers than always making the world go BOOM!" ¡ºSteine Wayne¡» Exclaimed Steine Wayne after watching the reboot on one of his favorite fiction based TV series Heroes Reborn. After finishing all the requirements and exams in his studies, Steine Wayne all alone in his dorm whiling away the hours being a N.E.E.T waiting for the graduation to arrive within a few months while his 2 roommates went out to get drinks, KFC and Pizza to do a small celebration. Unlike other students who are slowly leaving the university dorms finding part-times and internship to make proper use of their time to gain experience and money, his roommates and him thinking are a little bit unique than their colleagues for they are trying to relax their nerves after going through the hell that is COLLEGE and now going to a harsher world, that is called REALITY after finishing their studies. And by currently sitting around playing games, reading manga, novels, watching movies and TV series thinking the rest is what they deserve so they are just busy bumming themselves out until graduation. While looking in the kitchen cupboards for something to snack on before his friends come back and going through another movie marathon, he noticed both fridge and cupboards are all empty for he already ate every stock of what they had that was supposed to last a month within a week. (A/N: Yeah real glutton¡­) "Ahhh¡­ guess no choice but to wait it out then¡­" ¡ºSteine Wayne¡» Taking out a cig to smoke while waiting for his buddies to come back with snacks and drinks ready for another session of Netflix and Chill (A/N: NO HOMO), his mobile rang and looking at the screen noticing it''s from his mother who always asks how he is doing every day even though she knows he''s not doing anything besides bumming out at the dorm, he felt warm in his heart in this cold winter. After finishing his call, he noticed his roommates ''King'' and ''Club'' had arrived right on time as his stomach began grumbling again. Most of our nicknames are based on card suits and numbers cause we like to gamble. The thin one coming in is called ''King''cause he is a well-renowned FUCKBOY in the university, while the fat boy is called ''Club'' cause he is a lucky bastard with wealth and high background and for my nickname that''s another story for later. "What up fuckbois! Took you guys long enough?! I almost starved to death!" ¡ºSteine Wayne¡» "Bitch STFU, we almost died cause there was this drunk truck driver that almost crashed into us. Thought King and I will gonna be reincarnated by Truck-kun unexpectedly there." ¡ºClub¡» "Lol let''s start drinking so we can get that shit out of our head already, been really THIRSTY for alcohol after what happened, and drink my worries away." ¡ºKing¡» "Aight let us set it up then, by the way, what do you wanna watch?" ¡ºSteine Wayne¡» "Nothing man, turn the tv off and just put on some good tunes¡­ and let''s discuss which world would you wanna be in if you get a chance to reincarnate." ¡ºClub¡» "Fucking NEETS and WEEBS¡­"¡ºKing¡» said King while gulping down a whole cup of Black Label commencing the start of the drinking session and discussion. While they discussing and are slowly getting drunk to the point of blacking out the last thing that was on his mind their mind was seeing a magic circle suddenly glowing beneath them blinding them before everything went dark. -A few moments later- (Spongebob voice) In the darkness of the void a small globe of light desperately clinging to life. "Fuck, fuuuuuck!! Even though I had moments where I''d like to be isekai''d after reading so many of such novels and fanfictions I DIDN''T REALLY MEANT IT!!!" ¡ºSteine Wayne¡» Shouted Steine''s slowly flickering soul on the verge of fading. "Snore¡­ snore¡­"¡ºUnknown¡» Hearing some light snore in the void, Steine''s hope ignited and kept shouting in the void in order to gain the attention of anybody out there hoping to get some help and after a while maybe the guy got pissed that somebody dares disturb his quick nap shouted. "CAN YOU PLEASE TONE IT DOWN SOMEONE''S SLEEPING AFTER TAKING OVERTIME!" ¡ºUnknown¡» Shouted the voice. Not regarding the complaints on him Steine snapped back at him shouting "DFQ who are you and where is this? You just left a guy in the middle of nowhere hanging here while you''re enjoying your nap?!" ¡ºSteine Wayne¡» Taking a moment to completely wake up, did then Truck-kun noticed that there was a small globe of light in the void that wasn''t supposed to be there because he just finished delivering the last batch of people who were supposed to be isekai''d in the current year. Scanning the small globe of light to verify the moments that happened for it to be within the empty void of space between universes, did then he apologetically said, "My apologies¡­I''m the one you people call Truck-kun. You really weren''t supposed to be here as I have already sent the last batch of my quota for the year of the people to be isekai''d¡­" ¡ºTruck-kun¡» Said Truck-kun to the small globe of light while slowly showing his form which can be only seen as a huge ass plain silver planet-sized globe. Then within a minute came Steine''s retort "What?!! Then why the fuck am I here then?! Where are my friends? Last I remember was a magic circle glowing underneath us not a truck crashing on our place. Can you just send me back? As I still have a lot of unfinished TV series, Anime to watch while Manga and novels to read.." ¡ºSteine Wayne¡» "Hmm¡­ Wait a moment. Let me see what I can do." ¡ºTruck-kun¡» -A little bit of soul searching- (Heeeeh, so that''s why my head hurts a lot earlier¡­ I kinda messed up their summoning last second as I bumped their dimension tunnel rushing back to my place¡­ Ooops, better keep my poker face then. Where is the other two then? Hmm, I''ll check it out later after my beauty nap.) ¡ºTruck-kun¡» "Welp sorry can''t do that as your physical body on earth has been destroyed beautifully by the supposed dimension tunnel that forced summoned you and your friends in another world. And we can''t put your soul in another body as it would look like the walking dead in a morgue and you just die back faster¡­" ¡ºTruck-kun¡» As he apologize to the unwanted visitor for the second time. As he heard this, Steine''s heart sank (A/N: not that he still has one) while letting everything slowly sink in that he can''t return and have a proper goodbye''s to his loved one especially his family where his parents might have a heart attack after hearing the news and his two brothers who were waiting for him to put them through college. His mind ran at fast speeds thinking about how he can take advantage of the situation and put his grief to the back of his mind to be taken care of once he is reborn. Watching the small globe of light go silent, Truck-kun is also thinking on how he can properly apologize to the unwanted victim of summoning or transmigration due to his carelessness as he remembered the two guys from his memories which he almost killed too from overworking just so he could have a rest as soon as possible which he won''t mention to the guy cause it''ll just make the situation worst and infuriate the other party. Calming his mind slowly and recalling all the isekai situations that he has read and watched from novels, manga, and anime he carefully planned out the best scenario he can take advantage of the drowsy tired Truck-kun who is already exhausted and just want to get everything over with. Since he knows that his friends might be facing the same situation in another area within the expanse of the void. He can trust Club to be more dependable in this kind of situation as he is the most N.E.E.T of the three of them while King has surface knowledge on the topic cause his focus is just animes like Tate no Yuusha Nariagari. "Since sending me back is not possible, can you send me to another universe with cheat skills?" ¡ºSteine Wayne¡» he asked in a heavy serious tone to Truck-kun. "Of course as my apologies for my colleague''s inconvenience you can even customize your looks in adult form just like in Skyrim, and even the universe you want to go too. But for skills, there is a huge limit for I am already exhausted and can''t give you anything that reaches Godhood powers only peak superhuman powers. But the power you''ll be gifted is only limited from the last fiction movie, TV series, anime, manga or novel you have watched or read before the moment you died as that is one of the GOLDEN RULE of isekai"¡ºTruck-kun¡» he replied in an "as a matter of fact" tone. Thinking things over and over again now that he was given the baseline of his situation to be transmigrated he carefully planned everything down to the last details. Due to this being the void without sun and moon to track the passage of time, Truck-kun was slowly getting pissed himself because the guy he is apologizing to likes to overthink things down to the very last minute detail of his transfer process and he is missing he beauty sleep because after a very hard working session if isekai''ing people he just wants to rest. He finds the situation peculiar because usually, people who get transmigrated doesn''t much have of a choice except for the cheat skills they want to use on the other world. -More Moments Later- (Spongebob Voice) "Have you made your decisions yet?" ¡ºTruck-kun¡» annoyingly said He asked because this SOB is really taking his time and not even noticing that the dudes'' soul orb is within minutes of flickering out. After all, he wasn''t supposed to be staying in the void for too long before being isekai''d. Making up his mind, Steine slowly stated his specifics of being transmigrated to Truck-kun. "Yes, I have thought things through: 2. I''d like my appearance to look like Tyki Mikk from D-Gray Man without the cross scars in the forehead and with purple-colored eyes with a tinge of gold around the irises. 3. The universe I''d like to pick is the variation of Marvel Universe from Earth-616 and Earth-19999(MCU), wherein I want the body I transmigrate to keep the surname of Wayne cause it''ll serve as a keepsake of my past life and that it came from Batman''s name according to my parents which I believe with my whole since childhood, even though I know it''s just a coincidence and I want the era to be near the information era where there are cellphones and PC cause I won''t be able to keep my sanity for anything earlier than that with nothing to pass time by." ¡ºSteine Wayne¡» Stating the last one with a bit of melancholy in his voice regarding his current situation, and throwing the grief back again in the deepest part of his subconscious to be dealt with once he is reborn. Absorbing all the requests his unwanted visitor listed for him he couldn''t help but give a relieved sigh for he can finally get his most longed for sleep. *Sigh*¡­"Alright, I accept your terms but know that there''ll be some modifications to them for I''m already exhausted and sending you out with the last bit of my strength¡­ Such as: 1. Emphatic mimicry will be sealed for a while and will only activate once your body is good enough to be able to adapt from absorbing abilities. And there will be limited in the abilities you can use at the same time (A/N: Cause he might break the balance and be way too OP). 2. You won''t be transmigrating in an existing body and I can''t create a new body for you because my power is not enough and your first requirement took most of it. So you''ll have to go through the baby process. *Smirk*(that''s for taking a long time to think and wasting my precious beauty sleep) 3. No problem, as such universe already exist and there is a variation where you can be easily placed without any ROB(Random Omniscient Being) noticing you so you can slowly gain enough strength to protect yourself and loved ones which are called Earth-61999996 for it has an Easter egg from Stan Lee. *wink*¡ºTruck-kun¡» "Whaaa¡­" ¡ºSteine Wayne¡» Before Steine Wayne can even complain of having to go through the hellish baby process that goes beyond imagination he disappeared from the void of space where Truck-kun slowly disappeared going back to sleep before letting out a sigh. "Thanks to you I got my nap extended for being commended as a hard worker. I guess opportunities really go together with misfortune¡­ I''ll head to the office later to search for the two. Time to sleep!"¡ºTruck-kun¡» ****SNORRREEEEE**** With that, he also disappeared from the empty space. In a labor room in New York-Presbyterian Hospital, a baby was born screaming at the top of his lungs surrounded by a smiling couple grinning ear to ear for the blessing that came to their life as he is being handed to them. Unknown to them that the baby they are holding is busy cursing the being that transmigrated him as a baby. 2 Rebirth/Activate Emphatic Mimicry As I slowly opened my eyes, I hurriedly closed them back because of the glaring light coming from my new surroundings. (I''m guessing that that bitch ass Truck-kun kick me away as soon as I started my piece without even waiting for my response if I was ok with the changes he made to my request. I swear if I ever gain enough strength to possibly return to Earth-Prime(A/N: the origin world of MC our universe) I''ll kick his ass till kingdom come!! )¡ºSteine Wayne¡» -Thrid POV- Upon seeing the screaming baby at the top of his lungs, the doctor mentions to his parents how they have a very vigorous and healthy baby while she slowly handles him to the mother''s arm where his eyes slowly adjust to the brightness and calm his mind assessing the situation. Where he discovers his mother that looks a lot like Yoruichi Shihoin from Bleach with dark purple hair that is noticeable because of the high-intensity lights from the labor room, yellow-colored irises, and a truly topaz skin tone from where you can differ that she is of African-American descent. Whereas his father that looks like celebrity Daniel Henney (A/N: image samples in authors note for links.) with sharp facial features but with blue irises and sword-shaped eyebrows and a moderate squinty eye from where you can discern he is of Asian-American descent. While he was busy figuring out his parents the two are also busy comparing themselves to their god-given gift that is their child. "Look Janneth, he got your eyes though it''s a combination of your hair and eye color a Lilac colored eye with a tinge of gold around the irises." ¡ºFather¡» "And he took your sharp eyebrows and sharp features Conan.." ¡ºJanneth ¡» "I know right! He is gonna be a lady killer like his father and take a ton of girls home! Hahaha¡­"¡ºConan ¡» Upon saying the last remark he didn''t even manage to finish his laughter before he froze where he stood as he got rewarded by an intense glare from his wife which he swears she grew astral horns for a moment with a hint of bloodlust that caused him to shiver for a while even though it wasn''t that cold in the room and cold sweat filling his back. "Hmmm¡­ did you say something dear?" ¡ºJanneth ¡» "N-no-nothing, I s-said he got your charms hun!" ¡ºConan ¡» Seeing the family discussing what the child inherited from both parents, the doctor slowly approached them and inquired. "Mr. \u0026 Mrs. Wayne, sorry to interrupt but have the both of you decided on what to name your beautiful child?" ¡ºDoctor ¡» Coming to halt of their argument the both silently looked at each other in the eye before nodding to each other and replying to the doctor in sync as if they practiced it for a while. "Markly John Wayne"¡ºJanneth and Conan ¡» ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨CTime Skip = 2yrs¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C Finally becoming 2 years old being able to talk, he was able to tell his parents that he won''t be drinking breast milk which causes extreme sadness to his mom feeling that she isn''t giving enough love and failure of a mother and made a compromise of only drinking it in bottles whilst also comforting his mom that wasn''t he meant, it was that he wasn''t a baby anymore and other kids will tease him in the nursery which calmed his mother. Growing up he was silently making plans for the future since he knows what''s coming for being a N.E.E.T in his past life-based in the movies and comics then remembering that there might be discrepancies he doesn''t know because according to Truck-kun this is a universe that ROB(Random Omniscient Beings) aren''t paying attention to that allowed him access. So since he wasn''t going to be expecting any heavy-handed dudes interfering he might as well build up enough strength that when they do pay attention it''ll be too late. Looking at the mirror enjoying how his new body looks for the first time he can''t help but lessen his anger towards Truck-kun cause it really did suit up to his tastes even went beyond what he was expecting like a half-assed work because the dude seemed short on power moments before he was sent out of the void. Standing around 100cm weighing 36 pounds with a matte black hair with a layer of light skin tone which he inherited from his mother with the lilac eye color irises rimmed with gold while the facial features such as jaw, nose, chin, and sword-shaped eyebrows and a hint of squinty eyes from his father. Speaking of whichever since when he was able to walk he started exploring the house and going to the library every now and also researching the background of the family that he joined. What he found out where: 1. His father named ''Conan Wayne'' and works like a top detective in NYPD. (Hmm¡­. hopefully he is as good as the young detective I idolize back at Earth-Prime..) 2. His mother ''Janneth Wayne'' is a business shark and a real estate mogul of a company named Wayne Realty Group and Wayne Industries that goes toe to toe with Stark Industries and Hammer Industries with high warfare techs. 3. Recalling a certain someone from a comic he read back in the day, it looks like he got transferred to the life of who was supposed to be Wayne Markly(Fusion) from the comics Peter Parker: Spiderman where he died horribly for seeking redemption in Thor: Heaven and Earth but with the alteration of Truck-kun making name Wayne surname and the tweak-in ability that instead of just illusions of different heroes and villains he will actually be able to use them. 4. Their house located at East Village, NYC that inflicted him an endless amount of headaches on all the troubles to come and preparations required to handle the situations. He was born on Aug 8, 1992, so he still a lot of time to think through and iron out his plans. Then it hit him. (Shit! I still need to activate my powers and start the foundation of my plans from there.) ¡ºJohn ¡» he thought. Recalling what Truck-kun told him that he requires a great emotional stimulation to activate his cheat skill he knew what he needed to do. On a Monday night, upon double-checking that his parents were already dead tired asleep. He locked himself in his room seal tight and soundproof it with a towel on the crack below, above the door, and did the same to the windows. Finishing his preparations, he sat crossed legged in his bed and slowly closed his eyes as he started to recall the things he buried deep within the deepest part of his subconscious the moment he died. How he just finished a phone call with his mother from the past life and having the best night of his life with his buddies when the accident happened. Thinking that his mother might suffer a heart attack and that his father might need to stop working because of the emotional stress he will get upon learning of the news forcing his two brothers to stop studying to control the budget and the second oldest to start working jobs at a young age to provide for the family that might lead to the wrong path. He let everything out especially the worries he might cause his loved ones to suffer for they placed too many expectations from him. Include all the pent up stress he hasn''t finished letting out from studying in college and the hardships growing up as a baby with a mind of a 20-year-old teenager. *Creak* *Crack* *Snap* *BANG* Within just a few minutes he heard a sound from his forehead and like a door slammed opened he got sucked in his mindscape where he saw a familiar sight that is the huge expanse of a black empty void. Calming himself, he knows this wasn''t the same place he and Truck-kun met and argued then in front of him popped up a system status board which caused him to grin and thought to himself if he wasn''t an over thinker that likes to focus on worst-case possible scenarios that caused him depression back when he and his girlfriend broke up due to him not being too clingy and trusting too much. Waving such nauseating thoughts aside he focused on the status board in front of him. ¡ª¨CStatus¡ª¨C Name: Markly John Wayne Body State: Black (Baseline Human) Bloodline: [Wayne ¨C Indomitable Will(Red), Intimidation(Red), Genius Intellect(Red)] [Unknown ¨C Sealed (Green level required)] [Transmigrated Soul ¨C Emphatic Mimicry(Black), Otherworldly Knowledge] (Sealed ¨C Violet level required) Abilities Absorbed: Masteries ¨C N/A Mind ¨C N/A Body ¨C N/A Skills ¨C N/A ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª- Note: Truck-kun here!

I guess the teaching from cultivation novels help a lot since they focus more on training both body and mind that empowers the soul which in turn makes a cycle of continuous progress to greater strengths applies here too cause having a fragile container can cause the glass to overflow or break from too much water flowing in" ¡ºJohn ¡» Having such thoughts, tons of ideas kept popping from his mind on who to target first now that he activated his replicating powers and the training regimen he is cooking up for improving his body as quickly as he could without alerting the parents of his plans. Stroking his chin with right-hand index and thumb while slowly studying his status and the note provided by that useless being. ¡ºJohn ¡» can now start making the foundation and preparations of his plan to gain the power to fight for the future! But first, he got to go brush his teeth first before going to sleep or his mother will whip his ass till it bleeds in the morning. 3 Telepath Activated ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨CTime Skip¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª May Xth 2000 It''s been 6yrs since I have activated my Emphatic mimicry so I''m now an 8-year-old kid since then I started writing a journal to keep track of my progress regarding my path to the peak of this world. Other than hanging out in the library of this huge mansion in the East Village, NY ¨C USA, I have also been bonding with my father in the gym located at the west side of the house, to cultivate my body for it to handle a different kind of powers in the future. But I''m slowly accumulating the muscle build-up cause I don''t wanna be looking buffed like Guilano Straw the youngest bodybuilder in Guinness World Record on Earth-Prime so it really shows a lot to maintain this cute looks I''ve got as a second chance in life. (Can''t avoid becoming narcissistic when you''re given that appearance advantage from being a simple looking guy you know) ¡ºJohn ¡» Even though the family I have now is rich as fuck and wants me to have the best education, I''ve persuaded them to enroll me in Midtown School of Science and Technology so that I can still be classmates with my childhood buddy THE Peter Parker (cause can''t let that wuss be kept being bullied by Flash ya know while also getting the radioactive spiders for research so I can provide my parents powers in the near future too cause it''ll be just a waste in the hands of Norman Osborn). Didn''t even need to try hard convincing them cause of the good sample of a prick going by the name Harold Osborn. This guy got arrogant by the time we entered Middle school and only hanged out with other rich kids while looking down on Peter and Ned which made me punch him for insulting Pete and Ned just to get me to hang out with him instead. Because they almost avoided me to spare themselves for another heartbreak in thinking I might be another Harry, that shit almost ruined one of my plans. Well since I can''t save him from himself, can''t blame me planning on taking those radioactive spiders and OZ serum research for myself then. Another amazing event happened in school which I can''t believe happened today that just bumped up the progress of my body and mind cultivation, fucking JEAN GREY happened! Looking like Violet Verdandi an Instagram model back in Earth-Prime (A/N: Link in author''s note.). Well since she''s already within my reach might as well keep her too. She is a new student for this school year and the teacher explained we had to get familiar with her since her family just moved in NY because her father found a job in Bard College a university nearby. *Evil Grin* Our group of friends just had another member with her around which is me, Peter, Ned, and Jean (haven''t included Michelle "MJ" Jones yet cause they need to build up their relationship in preparation for the Far from Home movie but still we''re keeping each other an acquaintance for now). Though I plan on keeping her from activating the Phoenix Force through the accident of her childhood friend that will be expected to happen in 3yrs cause who doesn''t want to avoid the Dark Phoenix happening and waste a fine woman just because Prof. X messed with her head too early. |*Daaaayum Meme*| (Damn these hormonal kids!! Though I am one too..) ¡ºJohn ¡» Oh can''t forget to include our house''s only black butler (A/N: Kuroshitsuji manga) too named Sebastian *Cough* *Cough* being the Alfred of this universe (Hmm¡­ maybe it''s one of the ''Easter egg'' Truck-kun mentioned before my rebirth?)(A/N: Keep guessing¡­ *Evil Smirk*). Being named after my favorite young detective idol in Earth-Prime (Detective Conan) I will go kill myself again if you don''t do justice to the name by being a top detective in the police force (Kidding! Dying is a hellish experience that I don''t want to experience again so soon). There is also my daily routine of commuting going to and from the school (8-year-old commuting?! Well he learned basic martial arts for his self-defense ever since he started doing light exercises with his dad back when he activated his powers) instead of being serviced by Alfred when I asked my parents I''ll go commute to gain more social experience and learn more about the city, they are a bit disapproving at first but putting them charms such as puppy eyes works the best in persuading them. My routine is basically doing parkours |*Parkour! (Michael Scott)*| in which I gained [Acrobat (Black)] mastery by running around the city and kicking asses of some basic robbing thugs in the alleys whenever I encounter some by chance, wearing an overall get-up of black clothes consisting of (hoodie, bonnet, facemask, tinted goggles, gloves, pants, and shoes). I made sure to cover everything in my body so I won''t leave any DNA at the scene. I guess I''ll also keep a note regarding that for my super suit, and shit I''ll also need to build a functional A.I. like Jarvis of Tony Starks'' to help manage and protect my database of plans for the future good thing I''m still keeping every data the old fashioned documenting way that is pen and paper under the secret compartment of my bed. Nov. Xth, 2002 Hmm¡­ am still feeling lil bloated today cause of all the sweets I got from trick or treating with the gang this Halloween. I''m already 10 years old and finally managed to absorb Jean''s [Telepathy (Black)] ability. I was shocked how quickly I got it cause I was expecting to get it by New Years I guess it was also hastened by the circumstance where I tried to prevent the accident happening by jumping in to save Annie Richardson and get grazed by the side from the car speeding by and Jean upon seeing what happened almost broke and went Phoenix on me. Because I passed out for almost 2 minutes from the blunt force of the clash which loosened the seal on her abilities enough for me to complete the absorption process, though I can say to myself I managed the situation pretty well. Then after my parents received such news I got proper thrashing and scolding from my parents because of what happened regarding my recklessness, well what can I say? I had to watch on the sidelines without them noticing my presence to not change too much in the timeline (though it''s already messed up with me being here) and act on proper timing, and maan seeing Jean crying for my sake and hugging me kinda made me feel things too. (This fucking hormonal body!! Can''t say I like the feeling of spring from the maturing body of Jean though). ¡ºJohn ¡» And within weeks, didn''t know how but my dad managed to catch the dufus who did the hit and run on what supposed to be Jean''s childhood friend Annie, well that''s Detective Conan *pun intended* for you! Still, I got grounded the past few months and just got out again this Halloween. While being grounded I used this time for me to enhance my mental capacities so that any John or Jane Doe can''t go in and make a mess inside my head such as the Professor and Emma Frost or any other telepaths. I managed to fix the space inside my mindscape into a Skyrim like world scenery with all the mods to increase gameplay experience instead of a vast empty void though this is the limit for now because of the balance with my body. My body now being able to handle about 6kg of weights because of the advantages provided by the [Telepathy (Black)] ability that increases the usage of my brain capacity (like Lucy movie increase in brain usage enables more access for power) which made my dad gasped at the strength I''m showing and encourage him to teach me more regarding martial arts gaining [Martial Arts (Black)] mastery. There is also large improvement regarding the benefits provided of the ability to my studies that help me gain a photographic and eidetic memory and finish all the books in our library including all the study materials needed to complete middle-high school upon which I went back to the old habit before I died of bumming out at home as a reward for myself in finishing all the books for at least 2 months before I tackled law, criminology, engineering, biochemistry, chemistry, genetics, psychology and languages for these skills will help me in the long run of my path to the peak. First on the checklist is building an A.I. which I got the help of Peter (though he isn''t aware of it yet) that is him working on the compiler and me for the rest. Next, is the tech needed to run the program on which can be solved by looting OSCORP''s secret labs that I managed to get the list of their addresses on through hacking. Since I managed to hack them I got too cocky and try hacking government facilities such as the PENTAGON for a test on my current ability then AREA 51 slowly building up to hacking SHIELD''s system and check the data they have regarding the supernatural and get a list of addresses for my future recruits, making sure not to leave and data footprint that''ll lead back to me and endanger my family. (Man the thrill and adrenaline I got from doing such venture manage to increase my Mental Powers ''MP'' and have a breakthrough that resulted in upgrading my Body State to ''Yellow'' level going through such stress. Though I swear I will never do again because I really cut it to close and them almost managing to trackback everything to me. So I guess they''ll be fortifying their firewalls to the tooth and nail). ¡ºJohn ¡» Again I have everything documented in the old fashioned way written in the dragon language from Skyrim because I learned from the best of the best from the novels in Earth-Prime that it pays to be can''t be too careful regarding such stuff, which in turn make me run out of space in the secret compartment under my bed. ================== Dec Xth, 2003 Just in time during my daily routines of commuting to and from school while beating random robbing thugs in the alleys, I managed to stumble upon an unconscious heavily injured Matthew Murdock in his first vigilante suit that is also a black overall get up with a half-face covered bandana near the border of Midtown Manhattan and Hell''s Kitchen. I guess lucky day for me and unlucky day for him for getting beat up until unconsciousness in his starting out as the Daredevil. While helping him out I manage to scan and enter his mind because him being unconscious with no mental preparation and defense looking at the list of card that is his current abilities and masteries that is: ¡ª¨CStatus¡ª¨C Name: Matthew Murdock Body State: Blue (Peak Human) ?Masteries (Blue) ? [Attorney] [Detective] [Tracker] [Acrobat] [Marksman] [Stick-fighter] [Martial Arts] [Interrogator] [Weapon Proficiency] ?Mind (Blue) ? [Telepathy] [Telepathic Immunity] ?Body (Blue) ? [Radioactive Enhanced Physiology] [Healing Factor] [Superhuman Sensory System (Sonar, Radar, Proximity)] ?Skills (Blue) ? [Person Identification] ¡ª¨CEnd¡ª¨C Everything is all in blue because he has already the Peak of human abilities with his [Radioactive Enhanced Physiology] when he had taken a bath with the splash from radioactive isotope in his younger days and his masteries too if not all taught by the ninja master Stick. Upon seeing his list of abilities I hurriedly absorbed [Telepathy(Blue)] first before everything else to upgrade my own in order to hasten the absorption for the other abilities I have my eyes on such as his physiology and healing factor to increase my body state in tandem with the mind. Within 5hrs I completed both tasks gaining a body state and telepathy level (Green), and noticing that Matthew is about to wake up based from his twitching fingers I managed to grab a few his masteries before hightailing it out of there before he manages to memorize my heartbeat''s pattern and be on his [Person Identification] skill. The masteries I got were all in (Black) level [Martial Arts], [Weapon Proficiency], [Acrobat]. Man if I had more time I could''ve reached peak Beta class too after cleaning him out of his abilities but I guess you win some you lose some, though this is already a blessing in disguise for me not expecting an early encounter with the guy too with these masteries I managed to raise my own [Martial Arts] and [Acrobat] to (Yellow) since I had martial arts learning from my father and acrobats with my daily routine. Now gaining a huge raise in my abilities my current target would be hunting this Healer guy that has [Healing] abilities from the comics that is currently doing some faith healing for the public being the good guy he is though dies a gruesome death just because he can heal. Because his ability will be huge must considering my training that is slowly getting harsher as I grow old to further increase my body cultivation and considering I still have plans to build a Wayne Enterprise in this world as my own foothold for future endeavors. Updated Status ¡ª¨CStatus¡ª¨C Name: Markly John Wayne Body State: Green (Intermediate Human) Bloodline: [Wayne ¨C Indomitable Will(Red), Intimidation(Red), Genius Intellect(Red)] [Unknown ¨C Sealed (Green level required)] [Transmigrated Soul ¨C Emphatic Mimicry(Black), Otherworldly Knowledge] (Sealed ¨C Violet level required) Abilities Acquired: ?Masteries?

[Radioactive Enhanced Physiology (Yellow)] [Healing Factor (Black)] ?Skills: N/A ? ¡ª¨CEnd¡ª¨C 4 Family Opinion ¨CSebastian POV¨C In all of my years working for the Wayne family, it has been very rewarding to me watching the young master grow up and stay by his side. Ever since he was able to walk few months after being born, I noticed his ever-growing curiosity toward the world since he likes roaming around the mansion whenever he gets the chance to slip away from the Madam, Milord, and my watch. But he slowly stops his exploration towards the mansion when he found out about the huge library within the east side of the property and became the first place he cooped up himself second the gym which is in the opposite side of the mansion from the library but we''ll get to that later. It can even be said that he is the youngest genius in history for being able to read and write by the age of 3 years old but he keeps avoiding the lord''s request of him taking an IQ (Intelligence Quotient) test which we are guessing if he ever took one will easily surpass above 300 IQ (Einstein = 160-190 IQ) that is almost twice as much as the brightest man known to have created the ?E=mC^2 ?. When he reached 6 years old he was also very adamant about continuing his studies at Midtown High School to be with his childhood friends such as Peter Parker and Harold Osborn that he got acquainted with in kindergarten. It also perplexed us the first time that he is not considering skipping grades with his intelligence and instead study in the best academic facilities available to him due to his status, where he provided very valid point reasoning that he needs to be with his peers to gain friends he can go along with and have a normal social life. Instead of being treated as a child genius that makes his peers distance themselves from him and become arrogant from it which won over the approval of everyone in the family and made his parents more proud of him. Considering his recent activities and the maturity he displays on some occasions we seldom forget treating him as a child that he is. He is also showing great progress in his training and workout sessions with his father that gave him endless joy and pride in his genes that he gave birth to a prodigal son. Not until recently that we received news he got hit by a car while playing with his friends that made the madam pass out of worry and became infuriated because of the action the young master did without thinking even though it was a noble act, that got him grounded for a few months and milord within just a few weeks managed to track down the man responsible for the accident in his rage for trying to run without being held accountable for his actions now put behind bars with a lot of lawsuits. Though while the young master is grounded after the incident he still showed great progress not just in education but also his physical fitness being able to carry 6kg of weight for his age and not suffer any muscle strains and regarding education he manages to finish all his study materials until high school and all books available in the library. A year after the incident the madam made me quietly follow the young master in his daily routines like a shadow with all of my skill sets (A/N: Taken movie scene *wink* ;)) and to my shock, I caught him taking out other adults twice his size which can be only described as him trying out his combat abilities to the fullest during his walk going to and from to school. I reported my findings to the madam and she seems not too shocked about it (I guess it''s within their blood?) but warned me only to intervene whenever the young master takes on an opponent he can''t handle. Just recently there was an event that made me question the young master''s actions when he helped up an unconscious man wearing suspicious clothes in a back alley within the borders of Hell''s Kitchen and Midtown Manhattan where he stayed with him for a couple of hours before running away with great haste. I planned on interrogating the suspicious person on how is he related to the young master but didn''t manage to for I still need to follow the madam''s order of being a shadow to the young master who I''m about to lose track off because of his haste. To my great surprise, the young master reached another milestone in his physical prowess after that questionable encounter that delighted the masters of the house. At the young age of 11 years old reaching the ?height of 170cm?, ?weighing 56kg?, with a lean but not bulky build with cuts, matte black hair reaching around the neck. Enchanting purple eye color coupled with golden rimmed irises and a light skin tone coming from the African-American gene from his mother and his facial features from the chin to hair with sword-shaped eyebrows and lightly squint eye shape from his Asian-American father. Being able to lift around 80 kg and run at 6.7mph (miles per hour) which greatly shocked everyone and have a cause for a huge celebration during Christmas. ¡ªParents POV¡ª "Dear, it''s about time we discuss with John regarding our families background I think he is already mature enough to handle it, based on the reports we received from Sebas (the Butler).."¡ºConan¡» Said Conan to his wife worriedly, looking anxious regarding something that has been pressing his mind since his son started exhibiting top off the charts performances for his age. Ever since he saw an almost blank family tree just with their names and son in it, it is the one that broke the camel''s back. Being silent and thinking for a long time before replying to his husband¡­ "I know he is mature enough to handle it, but he is not strong enough to protect himself from the trouble it brings with of knowing it yet. So providing him with all the knowledge and training he can get within the coming few years to give him enough strength to handle any situation that might arise from it. While he''s accumulating strength I''m going to pour all the knowledge I have in business and running the company" ¡ºJanneth¡» *Sigh* "I guess we can only go through it in a roundabout way then, I''ll go introduce him to my colleague to further his knowledge regarding martial arts since he is just a breath away from overpowering me during our last sparring, I still want to keep my fatherly image thank you very much. While I take over his studies regarding law and criminology so he can follow my footsteps of being the great Detective" ¡ºConan ¡» (A/N: Meitantei-CONAN) Replied Conan to his wife exasperatedly regarding their situation. Seeing that his wife already planned everything out, he can''t help but sigh at the situation that aches his heart by keeping their family background from their son before going back to the hall and together with his wife to enjoy the Christmas celebration with the rest of the guest they had invited this year and sending a lovingly look toward his son the star of this celebration for his current achievements. "Anyway let''s continue this conversation some other time and make the most of the day with our son." ¡ºJanneth ¡» "Agreed" ¡ºConan ¡» ¡ªJohn''s POV¡ª It''s been weeks after the huge surprise Christmas party my parents and the gang threw for me with really warmed my heart in this cold weather and firmed my resolve, even more, to get stronger to protect what I have. While my parent''s and I have plans to watch this upcoming new year''s eve ?2 Fast 2 Furious? sequel which apparently is a thing in this world too that delighted me for I can enjoy it like a reboot from the one I know of because their cinematic animations and graphic production here are much more advance than Earth-Prime. Which I think is kinda awesome because it reminded me of the hero from one of my favorite games to play in Earth-Prime, a famous online MOBA game called ?DOTA 2?. According to the rumor, they considered me as such for when I take action, no one will even notice me or remember I had even interfered with the robbery happening since I just melt into the shadows after knocking out the thug. I have also managed to track that healer guy and acquire his [Heal (Blue)] which registered for me in my ?Skill? section as [Heal (Black)], as he was located in Chinatown, New York. Didn''t take too much doing this quest for I just stalked him in the shadows for a couple of hours before acquiring it, and watching through this time made me take a note of including him in the team I''m sorting out for my coming agendas and prevent his gruesome death by dying just for being able to heal others. I managed to find a Chinese antique store that intrigued me after following Healer while he was sorting his business around Chinatown, being reminded of ?The Forbidden Kingdom? movie back in Earth-Prime that made my blood boil for maybe I''ll also gain the same fortune since I''m already in Marvel universe anything can happen, nothing ventured nothing gained, am I right? Coming inside the store I saw a lot of items that rekindled my memories related to Chinese novels such as ?Against the Gods?, ?I Shall Seal the Heavens?, etc¡­ Most items were like talismans, cauldrons, and other feng shui related items though I didn''t get an enchanted item like Sun Wukong''s staff from the movies. Instead, I gained an encounter with a great Master in Martial Arts that made me froze on the spot nearly embarrassing myself in front of him after looking at the guy in the counter from head-to-toe who is managing the shop as he introduced himself. "Welcome to the Dragon Antique Store, my name is Shang Chi the owner and clerk of this store. Just tell me what you are looking for and I''ll help you to the best of my abilities" ¡ºShang Chi ¡»greeted Shang Chi to the guest while doing a palm-fist in front of his chest. Seeing my frozen geek look made him look at me weirdly and is considering throwing me out of the store if I don''t speak soon causing me to stutter and instantly kowtowing in front of him doing the master-disciple ceremony so I can seal the deal and learn all his skills. "P-p-please a-accept I, Markly John Wayne, as your disciple MASTER!" ¡ºJohn ¡» Shocked by the sudden kowtow in front of him, Shang Chi had a small frown on his face while slowly helping up the customer right in front of him inquiring of his reasoning on the sudden action taken by the young man. "Please, stand up. I think you have the wrong guy and I''m just a store clerk for this store I have nothing I know of that I can teach you." ¡ºShang Chi ¡» "No, I''m not mistaken, Master. I know I found the right person. Please take me as your disciple." ??John ¡» Retorted John as he quickly kowtowed again in front of Shang Chi while his brain is running on full speed on how not to scare away this opportunity right in front of his face since can''t possibly say that (I know all of your skill and abilities even your achievements because you are just a character in comics back in my past life) right? He might kill me on the spot or send me to the mental hospital for a long time. Plagued by the insistence of the kid in front of him, Shang Chi slowly calmed his mind and gained Zen again thinking on how to properly handle the situation at hand. "Then tell me, what is the reason that made you do such action upon meeting me for the first time?" ¡ºShang Chi ¡» "U-umm¡­ because¡­ I read from Chinese novels that one can only gain fortunate encounters when one is seeking it outside while experiencing the world and you perfectly fit the description of great Martial Artists that is hidden in the mundane world either passing by his time or accumulating mortal experience to break through a higher state of mind that I have read from such novels since I was young. Therefore doing such a thing will not make me lose anything so I had done what I did. Please take me as your disciple!" ¡ºJohn ¡» Stated John whilst doing a puppy eyes with an innocent look of a child, well I''m not lying since he kinda looks like the old grampa that helps the MC''s in early stages on their path to the strong and this way he''ll think of it as just a misfit of a child. Shang Chi slowly absorbing and considering the words stated by the kid in front of him seeing no lies in his expression while talking, made his mouth twitch a little before forming a grin then laughing out loud while holding his stomach then slowly calming back down and replying to the kid. "Ha ha ha ha, you''ve made my day kid! Though I also believe in the workings of fate and that there is now fate between us, I''ll consider taking you as my disciple after passing my test. It isn''t so easy becoming the disciple of this great one you know. Come back here next week as I''m currently busy with other things in the coming days." ¡ºShang Chi ¡» "Thank you very much, Master! I won''t let you down!" ¡ºJohn ¡» "Alright get along now if you''re not going to buy anything as I still have a store to run." ¡ºShang Chi ¡» After sending out his newly ordained disciple with a smile his face slowly went back to a deadpan face thinking,''Even though he is young, his walking mannerism and habits show that he already had basic foundations on martial arts. (Thinking too much is not worth it, since with this happening things finally won''t get boring around here Hahaha.) On the way back home John''s mind is busy screaming internally (SUCCCCCCCCCESSSS!!! HAHAHAHA). I''ve managed to link myself with one of the greatest martial artists in the Marvel universe. I don''t want to absorb any of his abilities and masteries as I won''t be able to perfectly create my own path of martial arts that''ll suit my combat with assorted powers in the future, now the hellish training is really beginning. Coming back home grinning ear-to-ear made his butler ask him. "Did something happen that made you cheerful young master?" ¡ºSebas ¡» "Haha yeah just encountered a teacher on the way and have a merry conversation with him that''s all." ¡ºJohn ¡» "By the way young master Milord has someone to introduce to you as your Martial Arts teacher tomorrow for a more focused training since he will be busy with a case from work." ¡ºSebas ¡» "No need for such things Sebas, just tell my father I have my own plans" ¡ºJohn¡» "It''s an old colleague of your father and he is also your godfather young master¡­" ¡ºSebas ¡» "Hmm¡­ fine I''ll just meet him then. But for the martial arts training, I''ll speak my thoughts regarding it to him and my father when the time comes. Thanks for the update Sebas!" ¡ºJohn ¡» "Always at your service, young master." ¡ºSebas ¡» Replied Sebas while bowing slightly towards John, putting Sebas'' reminder to the back of his mind he went straight back to his room and update his journal and plans for the future. Though I had already reached (Green) level in both body state and mind I still haven''t unlocked that sealed bloodline feature in my status yet, looks like it''s more likely related to the level of my [Emphatic mimicry(Black)] which is very hard to upgrade. Well, it''s not that much important as of now anyway as I have to prepare for the coming training from Shang Chi himself.

[Heal (Black)]^ ¡ª¨CEnd¡ª¨C 5 Martial Master ¡ªJohn''s POV¡ª After taking a good rest and meditation, I woke up earlier than usual because of the excitement and nervousness I have from being Shang Chi''s disciple. Even though in my past life I only have Comic references regarding his lifestyle and details (Wiki), as I didn''t manage to transmigrate before his TV series was even released. Since I still have two hours to spare before the family breakfast I start, reorganizing my projects before I start the Hero business in the coming years which will happen in half a year or so before Peter gets bitten which is also a few years before Iron Man starts the whole damn MCU arc. (Earth-199999) My Current achievable project so far goes as; 1.) Gain the abilities I will need the most at the beginning of my Hero career such as: [Kinetic Duplication] from James Madrox (Multiple Man), so I can train hardcore like how Naruto did it with his clones and make other personas required. [Time Force] from Damien Tyrp who James Madrox will encounter at Central Park anytime soon so that if some dude time traveled and change something I won''t be affected by the changes in the time stream. [Dark Force] from Tyrone Johnson (Cloak) so I can just easily hide in the target''s shadows if I want to absorb abilities while not forgetting. [Light Force] from Tandy Bowen (Dagger), to satisfy the hunger from having the [Dark Force]. 2.)Build the base with the completed AI project. (Bat Cave!) 3.) Establishing the team and company. (Long term) Though I have already a lot of ideas on what to start selling without making a Dartboard target on me coming from Kingpin, Osborn corp, etc¡­ you know the big leagues, because I don''t think I will survive, facing against them this early on my life. I''m still an 11-year-old kid for Truck-kun''s sake! We''ll see how far it goes from there since we have to take it step-by-step and being hasty gets me nowhere, and I learned that shit from Flash where he made the Flashpoint shit and everything goes haywire. Sebastian knocks on my room to check if I already woke up, washed and prepared myself for school and him noticing I haven''t been responding for a while barged in and scolded me for not paying attention, checking if I did had enough sleep last night, me being busy since I was so focused on reorganizing my plans coded in Dragon Language from The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim since that game and creator doesn''t exist in this universe. Even though there is a lot of similarities in the current and my past life that is also one of the main reasons why I made my mindscape based on Skyrim''s landscape just to remind me of my past life and one of the best offline game with the best mods ever. ¡ªTime Skip to School¡ª *Sigh* With a heavy sigh, the bell rang for the lunch break, I don''t even know why I keep torturing myself by studying in high school all over again. "Dude you sound like my old man whenever you sigh like that¡­" ¡ºNed¡» "Yeah bro, everything alright?" ¡ºPeter¡» "You sure got your brain checked after the accident last month?" ¡ºJean¡» The gang asked me worriedly though I can feel a vein popping in my head like in the anime just from the question coming from the gang, since I can''t exactly break it to them that I have already studied and learned anything that is to learn in until senior high, so I calmly replied to them. "Nahhh, all good just that I get to meet my godfather later tonight and I don''t know how to feel about it¡­ By the way Pete how''s it going with the compiler program I asked you bout?" ¡ºJohn¡» (Since I might disappoint him because I already gained the person I''ll learn martial arts from.) ¡ºJohn ¡» "Oh, I think I can have it by New Year¡­ why the rush?" ¡ºPeter¡» "Haha nothing, it''s a secret, for now, I''ll tell once everything is complete." ¡ºJohn¡» I hurriedly changed the topic to my and Peter''s secret project which received a glare from Jean and Ned due to them feeling left out of the conversation. Which they asked: "What is it you guys working on that I and Jean can''t join on huh? Is it 007 stuff? Or is it you guys are just gay or something?" ¡ºNed¡» "Yeah what''s all this secrecy?" ¡ºJean¡» I can already feel my blood pressure almost reaching its peak just from Ned''s last question, and I kept calming myself by saying inwardly ''All in due time, all in due time¡­'' After calming down I replied slowly to Ned and Jean while looking all grim and serious. "I promise you at least within 4 years, if I don''t explain myself regarding this then I''ll tell you my deepest darkest secret¡­" ¡ºJohn¡» "Hmm¡­ do you dare swear an Unbreakable Vow like in the Harry Potter''s? ¡ºNed¡» Ned interrupted me in my dialogue with a dare on an Unbreakable Vow (from the Harry Potter series) while holding his right hand out and made Jean as the witness. Releasing another deep sigh and gripping with a right hand on Ned''s held out hand with pencils as a substitute for a wand on our left hand. (A/N: Nerds!) "I Markly John Wayne, solemnly swear if within 4 years I don''t tell my best friend Ned and Jean the purpose of all my secrecy related to Peter and my Projects will have to tell them my deepest darkest secret as compensation." ¡ºJohn¡» Jean slowly nodded and wrote a note in replacement of the debt jade slip like how Meng Hao deals with other people to tie karma in ISSTH (I Shall Seal The Heavens ¨C Wuxia Novel) and kept it in our ''Oath Box'' which she keeps. I felt another vein popped in my head because most of the slips inside the box where all of my promises to the gang and then I chanted myself another calming dharma just to pass through difficult times in puberty such as these moments. ''I have already gone through these phases calm down and know it''ll pass. They are not even mentally the same age as me since I was already 22 when I transmigrated and adding my current age I''m now 33 years old¡­ Reminding myself I''d be old enough to be their fathers, I slowly calmed down'' I swear once Ned knows about Peters superhuman secrets and Jean activating her X-genes they''ll be begging me to be a part of my team and company HAHAHAHA! Anyways I spent most of the time in classes thinking about my progress and practicing [Telekinesis (Black)] on pencils and erasers in my desk without anybody noticing, ever since I managed to reach (Green) level on [Telepathy] I managed to unlock [Telekinesis (Black)] within its skill tree. I have also gained an idea such as applying a Skyrim based skill such as the "FUS RO DAH" (Unrelenting Force) which is the draconic shout related to [Telekinesis]. Since I have all these [Otherworldly Knowledge] why not put it to use? That led me to make a huge library inside my mindscape to document all my [Otherworldly Knowledge]. ¡ªTime Skip Home¡ª After my daily routine in Manhattan, I managed to find myself a good start for my bat cave and it''s the south-east corner of the Tompkins Park where it is a few meters away from our huge Wayne Mansion which is the whole block where the supposed Village View Housing corp and Somtum Der, NY exist in my past life. So I had Sebastian made the whole place renovated according to my designs based on my past life which is the same as the Batcave as Batman and had the men related to building/constructing of my base disappear without Sebastian knowing. I have already known for a while that Sebastian is reporting my activities to my parents though I don''t mind it that much and he is not really informed of the bigger picture and just bits and pieces of the plan where I let them know what I what them to know. Though I know its harsh I learned from the best of the senpai''s from the novels I''d read from my past life, even though I can''t inform them (Sebastian and Parents) or others (the gang) such stuff or else they''ll just send me to a psychiatric ward or mental hospital just from the in-depth details I had Sebastian start the renovation of the Bat cave from the designs I''d given him since he said he had the connections to finish the project at hand, and while he was busy regarding the base I was also occupied meeting my Godfather which was introduced by my parents, coming to the guest from the living room where I discussed the Bat cave stuff with Sebas and was given another shock. ¡ª3rd POV¡ª "Janneth, Conan where is that prodigious son you have given birth to so I can give him pointers and end this farce? "¡ºUnknown¡» "Why you so hasty man, it''s been a while since we last met, why not catch up for a bit?" ¡ºConan¡» "Hmph, I bet he''s busy gambling away his stuff again and lose everything one round I betcha!" ¡ºJanneth¡» "Gahaha! Same old same old brother! You know you shouldn''t bet everything without me or you''ll lose it all!" ¡ºConan¡» "Hahaha, this time for sure I know I will WIN John! ¡ºUnknown¡» "Alright enough you two, he''s here¡­" ¡ºJanneth¡» She interrupted the short banter of the two upon hearing the creaking noise made of an opening door from the main door towards the living room. "G-good evening Godfather! If I''d known I wouldn''t even have asked back in the shop to beg you to accept me as your disciple¡­" ¡ºJohn¡» ¡ªConan POV¡ª Pausing for a moment and taking all the information gained. It seems that John and his Godfather already met each other and got acquainted for a while through different circumstances. Still, it took out most of the thrill and drama my wife and I were expecting in this meet up! What the hell!? I was expecting old bastard here to be shocked and amazed by the talent my son shows him and beg me to make my son his disciple and give me benefits damn it! Either way, all is well even though everything is not going all according to plan. "Have you two met each other?" ¡ºConan¡» "Well, we kinda bump each other unexpectedly dad¡­ Hahaha!! " ¡ºJohn¡» "Bump each other? More like begged me!" ¡ºUnknown¡» John slowly whispered to me the happening of how they both got acquainted and, made me popped a vein in my head while my wife giggles lovingly at the side at the coincidence happening right in front of us. Hmmm¡­ since Shang Chi has already considered my son as a disciple it won''t do if he just gets it easy training by this douche side without hardship¡­ "Well then without further ado John, your Godfather and mentor Shang Chi. Shang Chi your Godson John and apprentice. Since both of you are already acquainted, I bet the old bastard already has plans prepared for you regarding his exams to pass as a ''Direct Disciple'' of his yeah? So let''s get it started" ¡ºConan¡» Updated Status ¡ª¨CStatus¡ª¨C Name: Markly John Wayne Body State: Green (Intermediate Human) Bloodline: [Wayne ¨C Indomitable Will(Red), Intimidation(Red), Genius Intellect(Red)] [Unknown ¨C Sealed (Green level required)] [Transmigrated Soul ¨C Emphatic Mimicry(Black), Otherworldly Knowledge] (Sealed ¨C Violet level required) Abilities Acquired: ?Masteries?

[Heal (Black)]^ ¡ª¨CEnd¡ª¨C 6 Kung Fu Panda Training ---John''s POV--- Waking up from my mom''s almost screaming voice from the door, I groggily checked the alarm clock on the left of my bedside and panicked. (Shit shit shit! I can''t believe I''ve overslept! It''s on the first day of the new school year too! Welp, since I''m gonna be late either ways, might as well take my time going to school...) ¡ºJohn¡» Rushing to the bathroom to wash up and quickly putting clothes from my new whole set of wardrobe can''t help but slowly think through all the hardships I''ve faced after starting my training with my Shifu (or sifu in Cantonese is a title for and role of a skillful person or a master.) on the way to school. *Sigh* just remembering what I went to through made me shiver and have cold sweats even though it was only a few months of training with him. Sitting in the metro headed to Midtown, NY I briefly checked my status to verify the progress I had from training with Shang Chi. Still, it was a huge leap of growth not just in my abilities but also my physical prowess, I can''t believe I didn''t properly squeeze the potential provided by [Radioactive Enhanced Physiology (Yellow)] and [Healing Factor (Black)], the abilities I acquired from Daredevil previously. It also intrigued me how was I able to acquire a (Yellow) level physiology from daredevil since according to Truck-kun my [Emphatic Mimicry] will only be able to acquire all abilities according to its level, and during the time I encountered him it was only on (Black) level, I guess there are the sealed factors in my bloodline I have yet to consider. Anyways I''m already at Midtown School so I''ll just make a mental note of this bloodline related stuff for later. I can''t wait to see the reactions of those guys when they see me grow a few more centimeters in height hahaha. By the way, I''m almost finished with the A.I. Project so I can finally start building up my company to build the gadgets I will require being a hero, Sebas also said that the base was already finished a month ago only awaiting for me to set up the network and security details since I was away at Shifu''s secret training hall I just received the report once I came back home. Now with all the foundations for my base of operations ready all I need are the techs required to boot up the A.I. in the base which will be funded through borrowing (robbing \u003e:3) from OSCORP. My thoughts were disturbed once I was in front of the bulletin board to know where I am supposed to go to reach my new classroom, and checking the name list of the class looks like the gang still blessed by the goddess of luck for we are still classmates this year with but of course the addition of the lovely Gwen Stacy this year tho she is still keeping a distance from everyone being a new student and all. This is not like Japanese manga or anime the people flock to the new student for being a beautiful blonde or some shit, this is reality. "It''s quite new for you to be late John?" ¡ºTeacher¡» "Sorry ma''am, I''m still fixing my sleeping schedule." ¡ºJohn¡» "Well I know everybody enjoyed their summer vacation but since the school year has started don''t extend your vacation or it might just become permanent. Everyone knows you''re a genius but remember to not get that to your head and hopefully this will be the first and last you''ll be tardy am I understood?" ¡ºTeacher¡» "Yes, Ma''am¡­"¡ºJohn¡» I replied while cringing big time and headed to my seat at the back of the room by the window while dazing out and daydreaming the summer I had. Everyone else might have a wonderful summer but for me, it was more like hell! Now I know Kenichi''s (from History''s Strongest Disciple anime/manga) feeling of strong hate regarding the training everyone in Ry¨­zanpaku has given him, it was almost borderline torture even for me who had good foundations due to my early start in Martial Arts now due to the teacher''s words it made me recall what happened again during the last summer. (Maybe I should go to Japan sometime to check that maybe¡­ just maybe the Ry¨­zanpaku exists in this universe.) ¡ºJohn ¡» ---Flashback--- "Well then without further ado John, your Godfather and mentor Shang Chi. Shang Chi your Godson John and apprentice. Since both of you are already acquainted, I bet the old bastard already has plans prepared for you regarding his exams to pass as a ''Direct Disciple'' of his yeah? So let''s get it started" ¡ºConan¡» Months ago after my father introduced both me and my godfather, Shang Chi, we had made our status as disciple and master then and there so I can finally call him "Shifu" since he was of Chinese descent, though I was only considered as in-name disciple first since I haven''t received any teachings from him yet and will only become a legacy disciple after going through all the tests he has in mind. We had a lovely dinner that day and I heard a lot of shameful things my father and godfather did back when they were younger and was working from the same "Department" as partners, what shocked me though was that apparently everyone got acquainted with our butler at the company that they all used to work at. When I inquired Sebas regarding such details he said my parents will explain everything to me in due time so I''ll just leave that for when the time comes since it''s already out of my hands. Shifu also said we''ll start training in summer break since once we start all focus should be on training alone to gain the most benefits. We will be training in a hidden location to avoid unnecessary disturbances and pollution. My parents already know how everything goes and I was also fine with it because I still have a lot of matters to deal with such as the base construction, and A.I. project. ---Time Skip = Summer Break--- Slowly taking my blindfolds and earmuffs which I wore ever since we landed at Hong Kong International Airport to keep the location of our secret training base hidden even from me, as I had to close my eyes back from the light glare and adjust to the brightness. *Gasp* "Woah! Are we in the immortal realm Shifu?!" ¡ºJohn¡» "Haha no, we''re still on earth you brat!" ¡ºShang Chi¡» I''ve imprinted everything I can see on my mindscape and made the same scenery the edge of Skyrim, even though Shifu wanted to keep the location of our training base secret I kinda narrowed it down to Guilin since I know we''re in China which is one of the most scenic spots in China just from its clean river and a lot of mountains in front of me. "Go pick out any room on the second floor that has a bed in it, put your stuff there, and change to these clothes before coming down for we still need to check what your current prowess is so that I can make up a proper training regimen suited to you." ¡ºShifu (Shang Chi) ¡» (A/N: kinda getting tired typing out his name) "Yes, Shifu!" ¡ºJohn¡» I bowed slightly while receiving a bag filled with dozens of training uniforms from Shifu and went to do my stuff. After changing I got my mind blown for the uniform I received, it''s the same one that Goku wears in DBZ the usual orange and blue except for the "Turtle" symbol in front and back while the shoes are the black traditional shoes for Kung Fu. Wearing such almost if not blatant cosplay got me hyped up for the coming training so ran quickly downstairs to meet up with Shifu who is also wearing old Roshi''s sennin master outfit to head to the training hall which is on the opposite side of our living quarters. (A/N: Google both outfits for visualization.) Upon entering the training hall which looks exactly the same as in the movie Kung Fu Panda''s (2008) training hall with the exception of flamethrowers at the end of the hall replaced with a group of wooden poles of varying height with a big jumping rope that sweeps the top of the poles, again another mind-blowing experience with Shifu closing my dropped and drooling jaw from staring at the scene. "You like it? I made all these as a way to past time so that I won''t get rusty while having a break at this place for a month or year or so." ¡ºShifu¡» Looking intently at the training apparatus at what I can imagine where the Furious 5 (Crane, Tigress, Mantis, Monkey, and Snake) had been trained at from Kung Fu Panda (2008) movie, can''t help but ask the same question Po said at the time which I deeply regretted after letting it out. "Haha Shifu, mind me for asking but¡­ is there a level 0 here as a warm-up? Since all these equipment are already based on your level¡­" ¡ºJohn¡» "Oh..hoho..ho there is no such thing as Level 0 brat¡­ either you can do it or not is all that matters! Hahaha" ¡ºShifu¡» While slapping my back so hard that it sent me to start the test without enough preparations that cause me bruises, I was so focused on gaining balance on the spinning spring shaped logs that I forgot that there are some swinging blunt spiked logs as the obstacle and got hit hard in the arms when I blocked it a second late which sent me inside the balancing jade cauldron in the middle spinning a few times inside it. Before I got sent out to the Rotating Wing Chun wooden dummy maze with a groggy mind and drunks like walk that caused me tons of bruises and a busted lips where I also lost consciousness from getting hit in the head multiple times. (Ugghh hoho¡­ CANADA! That freaking hurt as hell!) ¡ºJohn¡» Slowly waking up while cursing in my head, I noticed that I''m back in my room lying on the bed. God freaking dammit there really is a huge difference from watching stuff on a screen and experiencing all of it personally, I can''t even imagine the pain of the cultivators who had to cultivate their physical body in extreme places/situations just to progress. Still, with a blurry vision, I cast [Heal (Black)] on myself a couple of times to remove the fatigue and with the help of my [Healing Factor (Black)] removing the bruises all over my body I am back to my peak again. This is the second time I lost consciousness though the situation is much harsher than the accident I still managed because of the [Heal (Black)] skill I acquired back in Chinatown from Healer. After healing back up, I felt strange energy inside me actively circulating all over my body for a while before dispersing and felt my body state reaching the peak of (Green) level. So that really proves the quote ''No pain, No gain'', still, no normal human would survive getting hit in the head full force multiple times and not go full retard after. *Knock* *Knock* "Are you up already little brat? Come down and have dinner I''ve prepared a feast for you to recover faster!" ¡ºShifu¡» "Comiing!" ¡ºJohn¡» Washing up and changing into my pajamas, still cursing my Shifu internally coming down to the dining hall for making me go start the test unprepared in the training hall because of the surprise attack that got interrupted by the feast prepared by him which made me forgive him for what he did. The feast is what looked like came from the crossover of DBZxTorikoxOne Piece, I swear I almost had the "Meat eyes" of Luffy whenever he sees meat from the assortment of delicacies in front of me. "Are we having guests Shifu?" ¡ºJohn¡» "Hmm? What do you mean guests? Don''t forget we''re in a secluded location where only I''m knowledgeable of the location, if someone really comes here without me knowing then he''ll be sleeping in a box under the soil the next day are we clear on that?"¡ºShifu¡» Said Shifu with a glint coming across his eyes that I briefly noticed which made me shiver from a sudden leak of heavy killing intent. I just shook my head and apologized. "I''m sorry I forgot, so this food is all for both of us to finished?" ¡ºJohn¡» Turning his head at me after prepping the table staring at me up and down for a minute, he noticed I was already fully healed which gave him a small *gasp* at the discovery then nodded while murmuring to himself something and replying back to me. "Yes it was supposed to rejuvenate and fill you back up with energy so you can start training in 2 days after recovering for that days but it seems my worry was unneeded and apparently your body is durable enough and can start training early dawn tomorrow. You can just have that couple plates at your side of the table as dinner then, as for the rest will be my compensation for wasting my worry on you brat!" ???Shifu¡» "Awww you were worried for me Shifu? After throwing me unprepared at a max level testing grounds?" ¡ºJohn¡» while giving him a smirk "Hmm, so you can still talk back to me brat? This will be the first and last meal I''ll prepare for you then! For the rest of the training, you have to hunt animals by yourself to prepare your own meals, and if you don''t follow the proper diet I tell you, you''ll receive additional punishment! You also will be responsible for laundry to wash our clothes bedding in the river every now and then. Are.we.clear?" ¡ºShifu¡»grinning cunningly. *Gulp* *Sobs* *Dogeza dash* (A/N: Like kowtow but anime version google it) "NOOOOOO!!!!! MASTER I''M SO SOWEEEEE!!! Please, at least the food right now can I have more than 2 plates?!" ¡ºJohn¡» while doing puppy eyes. "Hohoho¡­ I see, no problem then. If you got the ability to take them from me that is¡­" ¡ºShifu¡»with an evil smirk. (Goddamnit! Me and my big mouth! Now I get to experience a harsher Teacher-Disciple boodle fight with a pissed of Shifu.) ¡ºJohn¡» . . . . . . And that kids are ''How I Met Your Grand*Master''¡­ *Oops the wrong scene! ---Time Skip = Journal Entry--- It''s been weeks ever since I started formal training from Shifu. First, he said I need to squeeze out the potential hidden inside my body to execute fluently like flowing water the techniques he prepared to hand down to me since some techniques burden the body of the user and cause damage if not performed accordingly. Morning: Warm-up run for 10km back and forth the area of our living quarters and training hall to clear weeds along the way and create a walking path while being tied to a truck tire with Shifu sitting on it whipping me like a horse whenever I slow down. Noon: A couple of runs in the Training hall to excite the cells in the muscles and blood then gruesome sparring with Shifu after healing up. Break: Hunt for food, while also preparing the meals for lunch, dinner, and breakfast tomorrow. I swear it was a heavenly blessing for me to have watched and studied a lot of survival videos/tips with nat geo documentaries on the side back when I was a chunibiyo and all that preparation for reincarnation/transmigration in a medieval period. All I have to do is go in my mindscape and play the recording of such memories on a book in the library section of my mindscape. Well done Chunibyo me!! Night: Endurance and balance training like the one Kenichi (History''s Strongest Disciple MC) does in the anime/manga to make all the muscles in the body pink muscles. (A/N: google the term ''Pink muscles'' it is one type of a muscle, not just a color.) Although the coming months had a lot of changes in the routines and exercise we do daily because of my rapid improvement from tearing and healing up my muscles with the healing skill most of them are like what was stated above with some occasion where Shifu gives some words of wisdom when we fish in the river during weekends as a day off and rest day to balance work and rest since everything we work for will crumble if I overstrain myself. Lots of my abilities improved during the training and by the end of it, we both cooked up lots of meals to celebrate the progress I had gained during this session so we stuff ourselves till we can''t breathe and passed out in the ground, waking up laughing our ass out the next morning while we head to our own rooms to pack up and clean to buildings for it will be a year or so before we will come back here again for another training session. My outfit to leave and not appear a cosplayer back to civilization was wearing a brown leather jacket, navy blue shirt, jeans, and white converse shoes. I headed out to where Shifu was waiting while taking another glance at the place I spent my whole summer at before I''m back to wearing a blindfold and earmuffs that look like your regular headphones. "Haha now now don''t get too dramatic on me now. Don''t worry we''ll be back here the next time we get an opportunity and the training for that time will be upped by a notch." ¡ºShifu¡» Shifu replied while pressing my pressure points to seal off my senses since I''m way stronger now after months of training and basic covers on my eyes and ears won''t be enough. I shivered slightly at that statement and sighed heavily thinking hopefully by then I should have opened one of my bloodline seals and acquired tons of abilities from some people I''m currently targeting. I spent my time inside my mindscape checking my status while waiting for us to arrive back at Hong Kong International Airport and grinned widely at the new masteries and upgrades my current abilities gained since I haven''t had the spare time to check it during training. ----- Current Status----- Name: Markly John Wayne Body State: Blue (Peak Human) ^ Bloodline: [Wayne ¨C Indomitable Will (Red), Intimidation (Red), Genius Intellect (Red)] [Unknown ¨C Sealed (Green level required)] [Transmigrated Soul ¨C Emphatic Mimicry (Yellow) ^, Otherworldly Knowledge] [Sealed ¨C Violet level required] Abilities Acquired: ?Masteries (Blue)? ^ [Acrobats] [Mixed Martial Arts] ^ [Weapon Proficiency] [Eastern Medicine] [Skilled Marksman] [Fishing] [Chores] [Cooking] [Espionage]^ ?Mind (Blue)? ^ [Mindscape] ^ (A/N: Forgot to include way at the beginning of booting up system) [Telepathy] [Telepathic Immunity] [Telekinesis ¨C (FUS RO DAH)] ^ ?Body (Blue)? ^ [Radioactive Enhanced Physiology] [Healing Factor] ?Skills? [Heal (Blue)]^ -----End----- 7 Grade Skipping First, change that I noticed in the status was that my [Emphatic Mimicry] leveled up by one level only from the torture I faced in this training here I thought it would at least reach (Green) level so I could''ve checked what is it that is the cause of hidden energy that helps excite my cells whenever I''m physically exhausted and increase my body state in a frightening phase for it to reach the peak of (Blue) level just a hairbreadth away to break through (Violet) level and reach Omega Class type body. While in the ?Masteries (Blue)? where everything reached (Blue) level, even the useless mastery such as [Chores] and [Cooking] leveled up continuously due to the child labor Shifu handed me such as cleaning the fallen leaves before running in the morning, doing laundry and washing the dishes. Oh, how I missed my butler Sebas right now, it made me think will Ciel Phantomhive even be able to live properly without Sebastian Michaelis his butler to take care of him? (A/N: Kuroshitsuji ¨C Black Butler anime/manga) My [Martial Arts] also upgraded to [Mixed Martial Arts] due to the different styles Shifu drilled in me through the spars we had which included not only Chinese Martial Arts but Judo, Aikido, Jujitsu, Boxing, Taekwondo, etc¡­ basics which were all integrated into the [Mixed Martial Arts] Mastery which showed light to my own "Ninja Way". (Damnit wrong universe! It showed the direction of my own path in Martial Arts though I still have a long way to go to make it reach the peak.) ¡ºJohn ¡» Whilst I gained [Eastern Medicine] when I learned stuff such as Acupuncture and Pressure Points, Bone Setting (where I got dislocated a couple of times and my [Healing Factor] [Healing] abilities took a while to fix it.) where he also taught me to use the herbs in the surroundings for first aid if ever I''m in a dire situation in an isolated area such as the jungle we are training in. [Skilled Marksman] was gained through my continuous archery and spearing in the woods for the meals. Good thing I also gained the [Cooking] ability so that I can show it off to my parents and Sebas surprising them with my superb skills upon coming back. In the ?Mind (Blue)? section, I''ve managed to make my [Mindscape] the size of planet Mars with the only continent on it having the size of Skyrim about the same size as Alaska on Earth-Prime with an island nearby in the exact copy of Shifu''s secluded training ground. Eidetic and Photographic improved as I can just make a diary in the library of what happened the entire day and compile it in a book for the month while also compiling it another time once the whole year is finished. I also gained the thought acceleration and memory partition that is only limited to 2 partitions for now. The former accelerates one''s thought process allowing not just for high-speed calculation but also for the mental creation of a multi-dimensional diagram while the latter is used to separate their mind into rooms, each room performing different action complimenting each other in order to speed up long calculations. Memory Partition is not as simple as 1+1=2, it was more like 2x2=4 where each room was harmonizing and recombining with the other and promoted each thought process. This greatly helps me in planning one step ahead of my enemy or plans also helped me train to become ambidextrous. Even though my Mental Power (MP) increased to the (Blue) level the peak of human ability it is still far enough to stop Professor X if he wanted to dig deep in my mind but it is enough for me to notice if someone dares to intrude my mind without my permission and stop them while giving them a warning. I think I can try to increase my mental defenses with Jean''s help (once she activates her power not through losing someone hopefully) by applying the Occlumency training from the Harry Potter series where I get a partner who invades my mind and slowly fill in the gaps. [Telekinesis] managed to unlock a new function which is almost the same as a Dragon shouts from Skyrim that''s why I named it as such (FUS RO DAH). Though [Telekinesis] is just a branch skill from having [Telepathy], my inner Chunibyo is having the time of its life whenever I use the shout against a Black Bear in the wilderness while I was hunting a deer. I could have just manipulated the poor guy to walk away silently with [Telepathy] ability but I needed a test subject on how strong the shout will be once I recreate it, and boy did I surprise myself. The bear flew like a broken kite snapping a few trees in its wake, after that event I promised myself to hide this ability for now and only use it on dire situations or against someone like the Hulk or something. Thanks to that the meat and firewood I used, lasted me for a whole month and gave a quarter of the bear meat I gained to Shifu to lighten the punishment I received from causing a ruckus and making him think that the place where we are at was under nuclear attack or something. ?Body (Blue)? and ?Skills? section of my status with the help of my Shifu constantly finding ways to break me physically and mentally finally managed to raise both physiology and Healing factor up to (Blue) level, though I believe I could''ve raised both much more had I have at least half a year to a full year of training from Shifu. I guess I can include another project such as the gravity room from DBZ once I established and stabilized the Wayne Enterprise whereas [Healing] skill upgraded continuously because I tested its limits on the games I hunted back in the wilderness. In summary, even though I''m only 11-years-old my height already reached ?175cm?, ?weighing 70kg?. My weight increased by so much because of the increase in both muscle and bone density, my matte black hair almost reaching the end of my shoulder blades. Body figure is now more toned and balanced with muscles now more well defined though a little bit more tanned from too much exposure out in the sun unlike my somewhat childish figure before, Managed to look like a teenager now with my current looks good thing I had prepared the clothes and shoes I brought before leaving Manhattan to be for someone around 15-20-year-old since I expected growth spurts to happen in this training session from the senpais of accumulated cultivation novel knowledge. Shifu had to part with some uniforms he used to wear once my body reached the ?height of 175cm?, ?weighing 70kg?. What worries me now is how I look like a Senior High student just about to enter in Middle School, now I''m reconsidering skipping grades since my current figure won''t allow me to blend in now with other kids my age. I need to discuss this topic in more detail with my parents upon arriving. Once they approve of it, my plans had to hasten up to pace then too which is good since I need to have enough capital to buy Stark''s shares once he announced his withdrawal on the weapon industry in 7 years, there''s also the crash and burn situation of OSCORP where Norman will go crazy upon injecting himself with the OZ serum and become the green goblin himself. These are just one of the most important events that are completely sidelined early in the movies just for the sake of more action in the films. Thoughts aside I slowly regained my senses back which means we''ve reached the airport to get on the flight back to Manhattan I exit my Mindscape. ---Flash back end--- Lunch Break "Woah JOHN! Do you have like the giant''s and troll''s bloodline or something?! You got HUGE man!!" ¡ºNed¡» "Yeah bro, what''s your sauce? Did you eat/drink anything special this summer? If you do can you share it with us or is it a one-time thing?" ¡ºPeter¡» Ned and Peter hurriedly interrogated me on our way to the cafeteria, while Jean was busy eyeing me up and down not knowing what is going on inside her head. I calmly replied to their inquiries and changed the topic quickly. "Nah guys, just growth spurt! By the way, I got something important to tell you guys after school and it''s a very serious issue we need to settle." ¡ºJohn¡» "What is it about that it has to wait till after school instead right now since we are on lunch break?" ¡ºJean¡» "Hmm, I guess it is also related to my growth spurt if you think about it. But there is a more serious issue concerning our gang -¡­" ¡ºJohn¡» "DID YOU EAT A DEVIL FRUIT?!" ¡ºNed and Peter¡» The two idiots rudely interrupted my well-thought speech by a dumbass question regarding the secrets of the physical change, which brought us the attention of everyone in the cafeteria that I had to wave everyone off as it was just a nerd''s debate. Jean and I had to facepalm ourselves due to the two''s antics. "Jeez, you idiots, I told you already that it''s just normal genetic growth spurt. I didn''t take any external substances to gain height. I was also speaking a rather serious issue here remember?" ¡ºJohn¡» *RIIIIING* As the bell sounded bringing the end to our lunch break conversation that''ll be continued in the afternoon at the New York Public Library since that place is also near the metro where Peter and I go usually after school. "So what did you want to discuss that concerns every one? Are you in trouble or something?" ¡ºJean¡» asked worriedly "Yeah bro, is everything alright?" ¡ºPeter¡» "Are you ok? Are you sick? Or are you finally confessing the secret of increasing your height?" ¡ºNed¡» Looks like I''ve made everyone worry needlessly this morning, though I still get that vein-popping sign in my head from Ned''s almost cursing me to be sick or something statement. Calming myself in a minute, I slowly told them my situation on how my parents finally approved me of skipping grades and head straight to the collegiate level of studies. "¡­so by the end of this year I might not be able to graduate at the same time as you guys in Middle School til College, is it still fine with you guys if we keep contact with each other and hang-out sometimes even if we''re not classmates anymore?" ¡ºJohn¡» They took at least half an hour or so to digest the new information they got and imagined the effects it''ll cause in their gang with a big hole appearing in it and how they will seal the gap after one of their friends went ahead in life than them. Ned was the first to react to the situation and ask. "B-b-b-but who will protect Peter and Me from the bullies like Flash once your gone?! And what about Jean? Who will shield her from the guys that hit on her?" ¡ºNed¡» Both Peter and Jean still quiet and digesting the info got disturbed by Ned''s sudden inquiry, and Ned receiving a chop in the head from Jean''s hand with her ears turning red. "W-what are talking about fatty?! Who needs protecting?" ¡ºJean¡» "Ned da hell dude? Why make John stay with a reason like that? Can''t think anything else something bit more dramatic?" ¡ºPeter¡» "Why? I''m just stating facts¡­ Ooh, there is also the Unbreakable Vow where we can make him swear to stay!"¡ºNed¡» while holding the top of his head with both hands and quickly dodging Peter''s hand chop now. "Hahaha, nothing much is gonna change guys! Since we''ll be hanging out every after school, this should be enough to keep those dimwits away until you guys enter the university. Besides I can just enroll again in college for a different degree to be classmates with you guys again right?!" ¡ºJohn¡» "Hmm, that''s possible too! Still, you gotta do the Unbreakable Vow so we can hold your word for it. Hmph," ¡ºNed¡» stated proudly feeling he accomplished his goal by himself. Jean and Peter nodded and we proceeded with the oath where Jean wrote in on a separate type of paper instead of a regular white notepad and placed it in the ''Oath Box'', while I caught in my periphery a blonde Gwen Stacy eyeing our table hesitating on whether to come over to us. After pacifying the three that we can still be friends and be classmates again in the future they all went home happy. ---Time Skip = Journal Entry--- It''s been a quick 5 months for me as I am now walking inside Empire State University I now felt what Sheldon Cooper (The Big Bang Theory) experienced when he entered college at the age of eleven, kinda like a shepherd looking at an unorganized herd of sheep roaming around the fields. During this past 5 months where I skipped grades like crazy, had to use up all of my MP (Mental Power) on useless things such as making all the people who handled my grade skipping process and procedures including all of those who were related to them to place the importance of such event at the back of their subconscious to not be in the line of sights of both light and dark agencies who''ll value my talent with much gusto. I''ve already absorbed all the knowledge I could gain from both New York Public Library and Midtown School of Science and Technology ever since I managed to store all of their books inside my mindscape and compile related books. With this knowledge, I can get tons of Ph.D. for different types of subjects though I won''t do it since it''s one of the best ways to put a huge Dartboard target in my back. That''s why my parents specifically told the Principal of the university to not release my age and skipping grades details to other staff in the university since it might not only endanger me but also my family, though he tried being a wise ass at the beginning wanting a huge bribe, I had no choice but to mind control the son of a bitch to seal his lips real tight concerning the information regarding me without my parents noticing I did something to the principal during the discussion. I was already reading his thoughts before the conversation even started and when he wanted to take advantage of the situation I had to do something about it before he could even spout something he can''t take back. Well with my current appearance and height no one will suspect me of being too young to be in the university and since it''s my second time studying in college again I know how to act properly and socialize normally to other students, though in this life I have tons of cheat on me such as Eidetic and Photographic memory, Thought acceleration, Memory Partitions, and Mind-reading skills coming from just my [Telepathy] ability. Since I have this cheats on me this time just for once I''ll enjoy these 3 years just experiencing life ''if you know what I mean'' only after I waste the 1st year in absorbing the books available in the library of the university so at least I have 2 years to finally taste the things I avoided in my previous life just to graduate with barely passing grades. ----- Current Status----- Name: Markly John Wayne Body State: Blue (Peak Human) Bloodline: [Wayne ¨C Indomitable Will (Red), Intimidation (Red), Genius Intellect (Red)] [Unknown ¨C Sealed (Green level required)] [Transmigrated Soul ¨C Emphatic Mimicry (Yellow), Otherworldly Knowledge] [Sealed ¨C Violet level required] Abilities Acquired: ?Masteries (Blue)?

(Can''t I have a peaceful moment at least for a few minutes??! This is one of those times that I finally managed to take a break from all worries maaan.)¡ºJohn¡» I complained inwardly "It''s been already a couple of hours with you flying around the whole planet sir, at least making 3 rounds¡­" ¡ºAugur¡» "Grr.. too much info man. I''m just venting out some stress." ¡ºJohn¡» Flying back home, I know it will be a long time again before I get a couple of hours only for myself since my "Hero" plan is now commencing. Who is ¡ºAugur¡» you might ask? Well, he''s the A.I. program I worked so hard on creating with Morgan Freeman''s voice like in Bruce Almighty (2003) film a while back that now evolved and fused with the system Truck-kun provided me, now forming a fully complete sentient SYSTEM (Active Utility General User Regulator). "Augur show me my current stats." ¡ºJohn ¡» ----- Current Status----- Name: Markly John Wayne (Age: 17) Body State: Gray (Ascendant) Bloodline: [Wayne ¨C Indomitable Will (Red), Intimidation (Red), Genius Intellect (Red)] [X-Gene ¨C Fusion (Violet)] ^ [Transmigrated Soul ¨C Emphatic Mimicry (Blue), Otherworldly Knowledge] [Sealed ¨C Violet level required] Abilities Acquired: ?Masteries (Violet)? ^ [Supreme Arts] [Survival Skillset] [Medicine] [Marksman] [Engineer] [Linguistics] [Ninjutsu] ?Mind (Violet)?

[Heal] [Kinetic Duplication] [Metamorphosis] [Flight]^ [Yin-Yang Force(Gray)] [Time Force (Gray)] [Space Force (Gray)]^ -----End----- Hmm, everything is looking quite good and it''s not as messy as it was a couple of years back. Since the Avengers arc is about to start I should start making my clones stop focusing on Mind abilities and begin developing the unique powers I gained the past 6 years. Though my stats show a few items in each category it encompasses a wide variety of applications. This is all due to my X-gene [Fusion] that activated last I fought the Juggernaut. Oh and don''t worry I didn''t finish him off or looted his powers. Cause I will have to find a guy to spar with that can put me in a dying state. So I just left him where he is, which is being sandwiched under more than five hundred tons of dirt pressuring him down that used to be a mountain in the middle of nowhere. Until I am sure that I can find a better sparring partner than him which means I surpassed him already, is the time I''ll keep him down under all that rubble. Anyways ?Mind?, ?Body?, and ?Masteries ? have all reached (Violet) level because I applied for Naruto''s Kage-Bunshin training program the moment I acquired [Kinetic Duplication] from James Madrox (Multiple Man). Very thankful I didn''t miss the meeting he had in Central Park with Damien Tyrp who was busy doing his daily jog as I took his [Time Force] a while back since I can just run along with him every morning which is also known in another term as Chronokinesis, Easy PZ, Lemon Squeezy. Also called time manipulation or time control, is the ability to mentally alter time. With this ability, one could travel through time, control the speed of subjects'' movement, slow down foes, and speed oneself up. One with this power could even accelerate or reverse the aging process on any subject one desires. This ability may also include the manipulation of space as well as under the time-space continuum. I just hid in Madrox''s shadows with the help of [Shadow Force] until I gained his [Kinetic Duplication (Yellow)]. Oh, where I got the [Shadow Force] you might ask? Of course, you can thank the friendly neighborhood Spider-man in his Homecoming suit. A couple of months after Peter got his powers I placed a tracker on him and Uncle Ben to keep track of them and guarantee their safety especially Uncle Ben. "With great power, comes great responsibility" It''s the only fault was that one cannot be without the other so they have to always be within each other''s vicinity otherwise prolonged distance upon each other will prove fatal to them. Of course, yours truly, being honed from trailing people since childhood can''t escape my grasp until absorbing [Light Force] and [Dark Force] from the two. Now getting the basic skills I required to start my Naruto training program such as: [Kinetic Duplication] for the clones. Creates an identical physical living duplicate of himself upon any physical impact, possibly via extra-dimensional mass acquisition similar to the process used by Ant-Man or the Hulk. The duplicates themselves can also replicate, each is only able to create one duplicate at a time. The duplicates think, feel, and act independently, though usually guided by the original. Each tends to manifest one aspect of Madrox''s personality, which increases in strength with lengthier separation from the original; these traits have recently become more extreme. (A/N: According to the Wiki.com, Madrox is telepathically and empathetically linked to his duplicates, suffering severe, potentially fatal, trauma if one dies. If Madrox himself were killed, it is not known whether any existing duplicates would continue to function independently; It is said in theory, that if the original Madrox was killed, that one of his active dupes is capable of taking over as the new original and will assume the dominant abilities and collective personality that the original Madrox had. It is virtually impossible to distinguish the original from the duplicates. His powers have increased during his life. He was once able to create hundreds of dupes by himself. He has even gained better control of his powers, he has learned to prevent his body from producing duplicates.) [Dark Force] hiding in the shadows and basic shadow warping. [Light Force] maintaining the Dark force''s hunger. [Time Force] to work as save points for critical situations. Naruto Training Program - after cloning oneself each clone is made to focus training one aspect of my current abilities in different applications and after reaching the limit provided by the body or mental constraint I absorb them back to gain the knowledge they gained from training said aspect. So why my stats still show few masteries or body skills? Well that is because my [X-gene - Fusion] merged alike skills such as: [Acrobat][Mixed Martial Arts][Weapon Proficiency] into [Supreme Arts] [Fishing][Chores][Cooking][Dismantling][Tracking][Hunting] combined into [Suvival Skillset] [Medicine] was from the combination of [Eastern Medicine] and my studies from all medicinal fields based on the books I acquired in all libraries I had visited. [Linguistics] all languages I studied compiled. [Ninjutsu] was gained because I keep chuunibyo-ing Naruto moves from my the duplication and darkness skill. Whilst my body reached (Gray) level which is according to the system Truck-kun provided me, is considered [Ascendant] level for I have already broken my mortal shackles. It looks like being a superhuman isn''t the limit of this universe as I thought. That''s just basic wuxia reader knowledge, that you are always a frog at the bottom of a well that there is always a greater well after escaping the current one. Upon which with the help of my X-gene combined to [Yin-Yang Force] which basically removes the fault of each force and stabilized my body situation so that it can handle such powers. "Augur, what is the status of the Enterprise?"¡ºJohn ¡» "Everything going smoothly according to schedule sir. Mr. Jason Todd your appointed clone as COO (Chief Operating Officer) has almost finished the launch of Neuro Linker."¡ºAugur¡» (A/N: Neuro Linker is from Accel World of Sword Art Online-verse, it is a collar like a personal computer that can communicate wirelessly with the user''s brain. It has two functions: "Virtual Reality" and "Augmented Reality".) "Good, inform him and Dr. Kayaba Akihiko to just keep that under the wraps first after completion and slowly release in order after the Nerve Gear, will be the Amusphere, next is Augma, then the Neuro Linker to rake in more profits using the hunger marketing technique of Apple from my past life."¡ºJohn ¡» Oh, how rude of me, we time-skipped a total of 6 years so I should also explain what ''Enterprise'' I was talking about and why is Kayaba Akihiko also in said company working for me. Well, you see as I had said in previous chapters that "I should go to Japan sometime too, to check if Ry¨­zanpaku exists here.", that was just so I can satisfy my WEEB heart from my past life who barely left his own country you know. Didn''t expect that it does exist, and some other anime/manga characters too, though not the super-powered ones such as people from My Hero Academia. Just those who like the Ry¨­zanpaku people who have tremendous Martial Art ability and Kayaba Akihiko who is just currently 15-years-old at the moment. With [Time Force], I checked their futures for such people like them how come they got buried under in the Marvel-verse if they exist. The answer I got was that they died as casualties from Super Powered beings fight like at the level of Avengers Fight. So since they gonna end up that way, I recruited them to my side with Kayaba responsible for producing games at the level of SAO but without that suicidal thoughts though with the help of my brainwashing. I made him first create The Elder Scrolls series as his practice since he isn''t in his peak yet with regards to VR games, and that the tech to produce Nerve Gear and future upgrades of such doesn''t exist yet. But with him producing games from my past life I managed to gain a constant but ever-increasing flow of money. Whilst the people from Ry¨­zanpaku with Kenichi Shirahama''s storyline already finished. The masters, he and the rest of the characters who are still alive will become the trainers for my people within the enterprise. Of I managed to recreate and improve the Super Soldier Serum I might as well increase their capabilities for them to survive the upcoming series of crises the world will face. Now to the Enterprise I''m talking about is, of course, yours truly, ''Wayne Enterprise'' from DC. That my mother passed to me the management ever since I finished all the degrees I''m required to handle the Wayne Industries. With me at the helm, I mentally ''managed'' the whole Board of the industry to avoid having an Obidiah Stane in the background always aiming for the head because of uncontrolled greed. Since we publicly stopped the manufacturing and production of Weapons like how Tony will do in the future. There was a huge drop in our stocks but with the help of Kayaba''s games and the recent release of Nerve Gear along with TES: Skyrim VR and soon SAO. Our stocks in the gaming industry have never been higher. One of the main reasons I stopped weapon production was because with me in this universe, the weapons my company will develop will be too dangerous to provide the government with it. This will just hasten the destruction of the planet without even reaching ENDGAME. Now our Wayne Enterprise will focus on developing technologies instead such as VR, Smartphones, smartwatch, and most especially in the construction and medicinal field. Since this is Marvel and there will always be casualties in every hero fights. Through the help of duplication ability, I managed to create multiple personas such as Jason Todd (Red Hood) to manage the enterprise, and Dick Grayson (Night Wing) to continue the nightly heroic activities these two are just surface aliases other ones will be discussed later. Of course, they ain''t wearing my whole body figure and face, since I can easily take the [Metamorphosis] the ability of Raven Darkholme (Mystique) in Bayville High upon which she is the principal of to recruit young Metahuman kids in the Brotherhood. Creating their fake identities is easy as pie too with the help of my [Technopathy] at the time, that I gained from Madison Jeffries (Gemini) whom I made the Chief of Technical Department in the company for his abilities related to it. The guy is basically and inventing genius that just needs the base of blueprints for hover cars then the next thing you see is him producing a death star. Haha, I digress, but you get my point. Through the help of [Technopathy], the A.I. I managed to finished merged with the system Truck-kun gave me which I''m very thankful for as even without any communication device I''m mentally connected to my clones with ¡ºAugur¡» acting as a quest giver. Because even though I can control the clone mentally, I don''t want to and I trust myself will do a good job in the task given. So instead of commanding them, I give quest like notifications through ¡ºAugur¡» to encourage them. I''m the type of person that does the opposite if someone told me to do something I''m already about to do. Some you of you get it right? 9 Coming Ou Landing on the front yard of the Wayne mansion stealthily, I headed straight to the big ass front door, and before I opened it. I noticed my 5-year-old younger brother Steine. Having a glossy black hair with emerald green colored eyes, and pinch-able chubby cheeks filled with baby fats. Taking after my name in my past life after my parents asked what name I had in mind for my Lil bro. Being sneaky, hiding behind a pillar peeking at my direction seemingly waiting for something to happen. This little brother of mine was born a year after I enrolled in ESU (Empire State University) and his deviousness at a young age might be due him growing up seeing me prank Sebastian in my leisure time to hone the art. (Hmm, he must have set-up the classic water bucket drop prank by the door. Hahaha it''s still a thousand years early for you to try and prank my little brat.) ¡ºJohn¡» (Hehehe I will get you this time since my Whoopie cushions prank has hit a wall. Hmph, hmph, let''s see you get scolded by mom for coming home wet. Hehehe)¡ºSteine¡» (A/N: Whoopie cushions is a gag item for jokes that makes fart sounds when you make contact with it.) I slowly opened the door along with my brother being hyped along with it thinking his prank is going to be successful, and once I flung it wide open the bucket dropped and splashed water down in the spot across the doorway. "Nice try Lil bro, would have hit me had I crossed unknowingly." ¡ºJohn¡» said smirking evilly to his brother "Wha-... How the heck did you know??" ¡ºSteine¡» flustered as he moved out the pillar. "I saw you peeking behind that pillar as soon as I closed in on the door, you should''ve waited inside instead to avoid alerting your target you know."¡ºJohn¡» "Ugh... Why didn''t I thought about that!"¡ºSteine¡» doing a facepalm while pouting with baby fats in his cheeks still present. "Haha come along now, we should head inside for dinner before mom''s scream her lungs out." ¡ºJohn¡» while wiping the wet floor with his [Telekinesis] "Whoa! How''d you do that? Do you have POWERS? Does that mean I also have one since I''m your brother? What about mom and dad? Do they have one too? Are we a superhero family? THAT''S AWESOME!"¡ºSteine¡» asked hurriedly shocked at the display of power his brother shown. "Aight stop fussing about and I''ll answer your questions along with mom and dad after dinner. So keep quiet until then alright?"¡ºJohn¡»replied while slowly soothing his hyperactive younger brother. Upon reaching the dining area thinking it is about time to come out in the open to my parents about me having activated my X-gene, and the current plans I am about to initiate preparing the start of Avengers arc with Tony Stark being kidnapped. "Take your seats young masters, madam, and milord has been expecting you." ¡ºSebas¡» as he guided us in our seats. As soon as we sat and started dinner my brother ate fast and finished his meal first and began looking at me with googly eyes, expecting to start talking about what happened earlier. I sighed at his behavior and after everyone finished their meals and with Sebastian serving everybody tea was the moment I came out of the closet. (A/N: NO HOMO!) I signed at the servants to clear out the room as I had something to announce with Sebastian going along with them. "Sebas why don''t you take a seat too. Since you''re literally family and help out here too."¡ºJohn¡» stopping Sebastian from going out. "Yeah! Why you acting like a stranger uncle!"¡ºSteine¡» Yelled Steine at Sebas while pouting cutely that stopped Sebas from hesitating. Sebas looked at me and I nodded at him indication to apply the [Isolation Protocol] pressing a remote placed in his pocket stealthily before he sat installed in the whole mansion and each room. "Oh, what''s wrong dear? Are you finally bringing out your girlfriend to meet us?"¡ºJanneth¡» asked my mother expectantly. "Finally! Bring her in! Or she hasn''t arrived yet?" ¡ºConan¡»followed up by my dad. "Wha-... No! I mean not yet, but soon I will bring her over what''s the rush? I''m talking bout something else way more important."¡ºJohn¡» "YAY! So what is it? What is it?!" ¡ºSteine¡» he shouted like having a sugar rush. "Mom, dad..."¡ºJohn¡» I said slowly to cool down the atmosphere having everyone''s attention and everybody quiet. "I''m a META-HUMAN." ¡ºJohn¡» said slowly emphasizing the last word expecting shocked expressions except for Sebastian as he was clued in earlier to keep it from my parents. """Metahuman?""" ¡ºSteine, Mom \u0026 Dad¡» asked Steine, mom, and dad with a confused look. "It''s the young master''s term for Mutant" ¡ºSebastian¡»he clarified. "What Meta-human? What kind of power? Since when did you know? And why now?"¡ºMom¡» She asked after regaining her wits from the initially shocked expression quickly while dad kept quiet waiting for my answer from the same question. Noticing they recovered so quickly after my announcement, I guess that''s what you''d expect from a businesswoman at her peak and a seasoned detective. "Ok so answering your question backward mom. I''m telling everyone now as I don''t want to keep secrets from everyone any longer as it will just become worse if you hear about it later or from somebody else other than me."¡ºJohn¡» "Well, that for sure is the correct young man." ¡ºDad¡» replied roughly stating had I done the latter they wouldn''t have let me off easily while mom nods along with him. "Just that we''re jealous of how come Sebas knew earlier than us your parents."¡ºMom¡» retorted mom teasingly while having a small teardrop at the corner of her eyes. "Waaa-... what did you do? Why are you making mom cry?"¡ºSteine¡» scolded me while running over to mom hugging her worried she might actually cry. "It''s alright little one, your brother was worried and think we might treat him differently back then before you came to our world. Isn''t that right Sebas?"¡ºMom¡» said in a soothing voice while stroking Steine''s hair in her embrace with my brother glaring at me for making mom cry. "Correct milady, as I thought it was his story to tell."¡ºSebastian¡»confirmed at my mom''s query. (My power is kind of complicated to explain, but for summarizing it, it''s not limited to one application.) ¡ºJohn¡» I replied to everyone mentally while creating 2 clones with the classic Naruto hand sign for Kage-bunshin, and one clone doing a Rasengan made of light the other made of darkness while floating a few inches above the ground. Showing the most presentable abilities I have such as [Kinetic Duplication], [Yin-yang Force], [Flight], and [Telepathy]. Upon which I got the reactions I was hoping to receive seeing everyone wide-eyed including Sebas as he only knew of my [Telepathy] and [Kinetic Duplication]. "I activated my powers back when I was still 8-years-old, at first it was me being able to hear other people''s thoughts then, a couple of years after I managed to control stuff through my mind. Years after that I learned to make a copy of myself than years after was when I can control light and darkness." ¡ºJohn¡» I explained shortly bowing at the end of the sentence along with my clones upon which I canceled them waiting with bated breath what kind of reactions I''ll be getting from them. But soon was disappointed by my brother''s screaming his heart out. "THAT ISSSSSS AWWWEEESSSOOOOMMEE! Will I be getting powers once I reach 8-years old too? Can I also fly? I want to fly! Please, please, please LET MY FLY BIG BROOO!" ¡ºSteine¡»yelled as he came running to tackle me headfirst in the stomach. He screamed as soon as I finished my performance, bringing everyone in the room out of their shocked and speechless faces, not expecting to see such a show and not being prepared beforehand that the young genius they know has a lot more in him than what they already knew such as an exceptional mind and physique for training martial arts at a young age. "OOOMF... Ouch, powers don''t work that way bro. But I can grant your wish to fly with my [Telekinetic] ability with my supervision of course so you won''t hurt yourself as long as mom and dad allow it tho."¡ºJohn¡» As I slowly caress the area in my stomach he headbutted and ruffled his hair with my other hand with his eyes shining bright like a diamond from what I just said and looked expectantly at both mom and dad. "So, that explains quite a lot of things about your behaviors recently and during your childhood. Still, you''re not out of the woods yet for keeping such a secret to us your parents regarding such stuff. And dear we will talk about yours another time as it is getting late and time for you to sleep. Sebas will it be kind of you to wash Steine up and put him to bed?"¡ºMom¡» "Aww... ok. See you tomorrow big broo! Teach me how to fly tomorrow ok!" ¡ºSteine¡» he insisted before coming along with Sebas out in the dining room. After the two of them left, it was just me and my parents in the room when they started grilling me for explanations such as why I wanted to finish school earlier, hid my achievements regarding my studies, the "extracurricular activities" I did, and lastly my management and improvement of the Wayne Enterprise after mom handed me the Wayne Industries. Which I deftly answered completely without keeping anything from them even the dangerous exercises I had done like sparring frequently against Juggernaut, apart from the fact that I''m a reincarnator that I will keep till the grave, which I know they might not react the same way as to how I exposed my secrets. Also explaining my propaganda on why the term "META-HUMAN" is much better than being called a "MUTANT". They were shocked, worried, angry than relieved accordingly to the stories I gave them which feels like going on a roller coaster of feelings. After letting everything out in the open, I felt so relieved as if I just removed a thorn stuck in my throat for a long while as they looked at me sincerely and lovingly while going for a group hug that stayed still for a while before they let go of me. "We are very thankful for you being honest and trusting us with all this information son, just know that we won''t change the way we treat you having now the knowledge of everything you hid from us. Because we will just worry more being kept in the dark not knowing how you will end up worst-case scenario after going dangerous situation and many more ''What if''s'' okay!"¡ºMom¡» said after kissing me in the forehead. "What your mom said!" ¡ºDad¡» while giving me another bear hug. "Thanks, guys... You''re the BEST PARENTS anyone could wish for!" ¡ºJohn¡» while having a small teardrop coming down at the corner of my eyes my dad slowly wiped for me. "Alright time for you to head to your room and sleep then we will discuss more tomorrow as I can see that you''re exhausted after that long explanation you just gave us and we also need time to absorb everything you just laid out on us ok." ¡ºDad¡» "Goodnight mom, and dad!" ¡ºJohn¡» as I headed to my room to wash up and go straight to dreamland. Which I can tell you were the best damn sleep I had in two lives, man. Now accomplishing my childhood(Chunibyo) dreams come true, and not having to keep secrets around my closest ones other than my friends who will get to know soon. ---Next day--- In the morning, my brother jumped up and down on my bed waking me up showing he wanted to fly as soon as he could upon which I levitated him with [Telekinesis] a few meters above me going in circles like a ceiling fan for 30mins as revenge for disturbing my precious sleep. "AHHHHH WHAT IS THIS?! I don''t like to fly like this? Bro, can you get me down now, please? I''m getting dizzy... I feel like I''m about to puke..."¡ºSteine¡» He pleaded as I let him down slowly and brought him to the bathroom to vomit before heading down for breakfast, wouldn''t want that shit happening this early morning, and ruin my appetite don''t we. After that, he didn''t ask me to help him fly anytime soon because of that traumatic experience. After breakfast and before I could continue my discussion with my parents regarding last night''s topics ¡ºAugur¡» notified me that I had my meeting with Kayaba in a couple of hours about the ?Underworld Project?. ---Wayne Enterprise Science and Research Department--- Walking in Kayaba''s office and laboratory hidden deep underground the company grounds for security reasons, I was greeted by a sight of a huge silver cube cluster called ?Quantum Particle Gate Crystallization?. Yep, you guessed it right, this is the quantum computer used in SAO: Alicization to store the Artificial Fluclights and mnemonic visual data of the Underworld, a powerful quantum computer also known as ?LightCube? was created. The LightCube, measuring five centimeters in the construct is made from Praseodymium crystals, capable of housing hundreds of millions of qubits of data, makes it possible to store the data of a Cloned Fluctlight. Looking at the man in front of the said cube with a special type of glass in between isolating the cube in the other side of the room for this one is way larger and advanced than the one used in the anime, as the man responsible for the concept is the one developing it now hands-on currently. "Alice what is the progress of the A.I.''s in Aincrad?¡ºKayaba¡» asked out loud in the air not noticing that his boss just walked in his office and standing right behind him. " ?The Knights of the Blood? guild had reached 60th floor while the guild ?Fuurinkazan? is right behind them passing the 50th floor." ¡ºAlice¡» replied the feminine voice through the speakers in the large screen next to Kayaba. "I''m believe everything is fairing well and that we are ahead of schedule than what has been predicted by our calculations doctor." ¡ºJohn¡» I interrupted the two as I made my presence known. "Hmm... I guess you could say so, but I still feel it lacks something." ¡ºKayaba¡» while stroking his chin thinking what it is that he may have missed. "Alright, that''s enough researching this month take a long break outside the lab and live a life doctor. Don''t worry about it for now as we are already way ahead of schedule by a year or so. And judging by your current looks, seems like you hadn''t stepped out of this lab for a couple of months?"¡ºJohn¡» dragging the doctor out of his lab against his will. "He has been enclosed for a total of 6 months, sir."¡ºAlice¡» as the voice in the speakers replied hurriedly and worriedly. "I guess being provided with the techs, data, and self-sufficient isolated laboratory deep underground also has its downfall huh. Alright, Alice initiates lock-down on the max level restriction until I say so on his lab and deactivate his key card permit on other''s laboratory too." ¡ºJohn¡» ordered out lout in the air. "Acknowledged"¡ºAlice¡»replied through the speakers in the corridor. "What? What''s this all about suddenly? I''m making great progress John! I''m in the zone!"¡ºKayaba¡» complained about why still being dragged out of the underground laboratory. "I know you are, but will you still be able to keep researching if you died of exhaustion and of hunger being malnourished. You even grew a bread unknowingly man, you''re still a young adult man in his early twenties go party out and get laid or something." ¡ºJohn¡» I argued while thinking of setting him up with Koujiro Rinko whom he missed meeting as I pulled him out of Japan way back during the time skip. I guess I''ll leave that to my clones and ¡ºAugur''s¡»hacking skill to set up a coincidental encounter between the two. (Quest created)¡ºAugur¡» replied having read my thoughts. "As soon as you bring a real and legit girlfriend home for me to meet until the end of the year will I allow you to research in your lab again DEAL?"¡ºJohn¡» I told him before he entered the bathroom inside the company building to clean up. "Tsk, fine DEAL! You''ll see me getting back my lab sooner than you think."¡ºKayaba¡» replied in a huff walking in to wash up. Now with that settled, I headed up on to my office and put up new regulations regarding the issue of working too long in the laboratories. Such as putting safety protocols that no one is allowed to conduct risky research alone and without my knowledge or go ahead. Working time will be limited to 10 hours every day or they will be kicked out of their respective laboratories if they stayed longer than that. They will be provided a healthy diet meal breakfast, lunch, and dinner while also needing to accomplish a couple of daily exercises to keep a fit body. If they require an extension of working hours due to high maintenance research or development they will have to send a request to me a week before. This is so no one will become a mad scientist on me and create more abominations that will be adding more to the already chaotic world of Marvel. Having applied the new regulations and had ¡ºAugur¡» notified everyone about such an update I already got a lot of complaints about those who are already deeply concentrated in their studies and research. Paying no heed to those for a while, I went back to the data Kayaba had on the ?Underworld Project?. As some of you may well know, this project is about the creation of A.I. from scratch by having an independent personality, upon which we have Alice the one responsible for managing all the Wayne Enterprise''s Systems in sync with ¡ºAugur¡». A.L.I.C.E (Artificial Labile Intelligent Cybernated Existence, or a highly adaptive artificial intelligence), upon who also came from the ?Underworld Project?. But the difference of this one from the manga/novel/anime is that ?Underworld Project? is more based in reality, where no one can use magic or skills even status where an ''Axiom Church'' emerged to take control. However with the Fluclight Acceleration (FLA) rate set to 1000, equivalent to one week had passed in real life), wherein we increased it up to 5000 and keep it like that for the length of 6 years. They have reached the modern age where we can now meddle with, as we inputted all the different religions inside too. The lore, myths, and legends that came along with said religions became a norm there with a twist though. We released the games GGO (Gun Gale Online), SAO (Sword Art Online) then ALO (ALfheim Online) inside to develop ?Underworld? into 3 different stages as a platform where once they cleared them people who cleared it can ascend to ?Above-world? that was mentioned in all religions that they follow inside. GGO for military training and improving their reflexes and mindset, while SAO is responsible for making them adapt to using magic and skills. Lastly ALO for training them in different situations such as Aerial Battles with magic and skills, while also including territorial wars. 10 Wayne Enterprise Structure I was also planning on putting another platform for the ascension process which is SWO (Star Wars Online) wherein they will be training to be prepared in galactic warfare tactics and techniques from the movie and novel ''Enders Game''. It is a working progress as I don''t have sufficient tech and program yet to render a world at that massive scale but with the advancements that we''re currently having, it''s not that out of reach within a couple more years. I have bigger plans in mind with the A.I.s developed from ?Underworld?. Such as creating a cyber world like the forgotten Mega-man Battle Network. This is one of the Animes and games that shaped me in my previous life. Wherein there is a miniaturized ?Light Cube Cluster? in every PET (Personal Terminal), and Transer (Bracer shaped PET from MM: Starforce) created to handle the Navis (A.I who came from the ?Underworld? that liked to stay on the net). Of course, all the techs produced by my company are protected by an energy field under the casing for those trying to scan its insides and are set to self-destruct whenever someone tries to reverse engineer it. The ?Light Cube Cluster? will also serve as the black-box that will automatically be warped to company HQ while protecting the Navi in that specific Terminal. This stuff is coming to reality soon as the scientists responsible for the research are still facing the problem of how to fit the required tech in such a small device to handle a lot of data processing material without overheating it. Said scientists developing the MMBN project are: Doctor Tadashi Hikari - in his mid 40''s the soon to be the grandfather of Lan Hikari and Hub Hikari (MegaMan.Exe). Father of Yuichiro Hikari who is currently in his preteen years. Doctor Wily - was the nemesis of Dr. Tadashi but his temper and greed were toned down when I offered him something he wasn''t able to turn down. Own lab, funding, and all the techs he requires. The guy is not that evil yet when I met him as he was just a workaholic researcher, who just can''t satisfy his curiosity towards technological advancements. Dr. Cossak - known creator of Bass.Exe the first AutoNavi in the MMBN series. with his help, Kayaba was able to progress much faster than the canon regarding the ?Underworld Project?. Professor Tetsuhiro Shigemura - teacher of Kayaba Akihiko in canon, the villain behind the SAO: Ordinal Scale movie whom Kikuoka invited on Rath to work on the A.L.I.C.E project after said incident. Well now with my interference and hogging talented people from Japan I guess he''ll have a much nicer time with his wife and kid in the future.Shuuseki Ijuin - CEO of IPC (Ijuin PET Company) in the MMBN, but as of now is called ITC (Ijuin Technology Company) which is one of the major players in the tech industry in Japan that now works for Wayne Enterprise. As you can see every one of these characters who will eventually become famous is buried in the future of the Marvel-verse by being casualties to Super-Powered beings fights at the level of Brainiac/Luthor against Flash in Justice League animation where they decimated cities in their fights. Though it looks like I am biased regarding Japanese being my subordinates in the A.I. project I''ll tell you the basic layout of staff in the Wayne Enterprise. ***** Secretary - Sharon Carter (Silk) = was placed on me by SHIELD during the past 6-year skip for me being suspected as Nightwing or Enigma. As I got fed up with trying to avoid her tailing me for months I confronted her upfront much to her shock and offered her a better job and the second bite of Peter''s spider that was supposed to bite Cindy Moon. Chief Operations Officer (COO) - Jason Todd (Clone) = Red Hood Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) - Dick Grayson (Clone) = NightwingWell, I trust myself rather than a board of old goats that is only in it for the profits without even contributing anything other than small profit suggestions. Chief Intelligence Officer (CIO) - Niijima Haruo = Kenichi''s friend, CEO of Shinpaku Alliance, and a brilliant hacker. Once we go galactic and take DNA samples of different species maybe we''ll know more regarding his background and abilities. Chief Technology Officer (CTO) - Madison Jeffries (Metallo) = gave him that nickname cause his previous is "Box" which is basically an Iron Man suit but instead of building it he is bending any material he focuses on to his taste but his favorite is metal. Chief Financial Officer (CFO) - Stu Bazzini (Suits TV series) = though Niijima also helps him when he handles stuff poorly. Tech Department: Fransico Ramon (Clone), Quentin Beck (Mysterio) and his team, and the A.I. Department team. Wherein Quentin Beck and his team are a great help in the development of Holographic techs, I offered them a slightly higher salary from Stark''s but great benefits regarding the workplace and environment. Medical Department: Dr. Helen and Philip Cho = parents of Amadeus Cho (Brawn) who is another super-genius intellect and skilled hacker. I got to hire both people when I bought U-GIN Genetics Infinite R\u0026D in South Korea, don''t want to waste their expertise dying just so Amadeus can build-up to his future character Brawn also known as Kid-Hulk. Dr. Sarah Kinney - rescued together with her daughter Laura (X-23) during one of my raids in Weapon-X facilities while managing to get samples of Adamantium. Well, I raid villains for funding of my own project as a new exercise... What?! I was getting short during the past couple of years in the time skip so I had to up my ante from street thugs. They are currently living at the mansion above my Batcave base as they got nowhere else to go while hiding from other Weapon X agents. The mansion is large enough to house all the key people in the company like the scientist involved in the A.I. project, Ry¨­zanpaku people, and Jeffries. Legal Department: Litt Wheeler Williams Bennett Law firm - I also bought this firm as they are the best New York can offer and I have deep knowledge regarding them and what they have been through from my previous life. Besides, I will greatly need their expertise to glide through the USA''s laws. Security will be handled by the Ry¨­zanpaku masters, Kenichi and Miu as they are of Katsujinken (Saving Fist) school, where they only need to disable intruders or any unwanted people. For spying I''m planning on taking over "The Hand" after mastering Ki from the Ry¨­zanpaku masters, I didn''t have enough time as I was busy laying down the foundation needed for the Enterprise, A.I. Project, META formula, and Tech development such as: Zenny - Online currency like Bitcoin but much more stable and will become staple currency instead of coins and paper bills. VRMMO Devices - Nerve Gear (Released), Amusphere(Created), Augma(Created), Neurolink (Developing). Games - The Elder Scrolls: I-V (Released), The Witcher series (Released), Assassin Creed Series (Released), Elder Scrolls Online - ESO (created), GGO-SAO-ALO (created), Ordinal Scale (Created) Smart Devices - PET (Personal terminal = Holo-phone), Transer (Bracer shaped = Smartwatch) both still under development. Brief Particle (Pym Particle) = looted Hank Pym''s mind and Obliviated (Memory erased/altered) him of such incident while renaming it as such as a homage and preparation for the Capsule Corp signature item. Dionesium (Created) = Stark expo element. Welp needs something to power up the entire facilities without relying on the power grid of the US, cause if I did then most of the income we get will be drained by the electricity bill. Promethium (Developing) = new metal synthesized from the combination of Adamantium, Carbonadium, and lastly Vibranium dipped in the Unbreakable Formula. This is the current projects the company is focusing on. While the META formula is a type of Super-Soldier serum which I promised to give all of my people for their continued work for me and loyalty though it is still under development but will be completed soon before the first Avenger scene even begins. META formula synthesized combination of: Super Soldier Serum - which I extracted from the 5 subjects hidden in a Hydra base in Russia from Captain America: Civil War. Since they gonna die anyway why not be more useful for the last time yeah?OZ and Spider Formula - taken both at the same time from OSCORP during "Peter''s Incident". CPH4 - took it from the Korean drug lord Mr. Jang during my acquisition of U-GIN company before he even manages to finish the product and destroyed any related evidence of the research and start a LUCY incident. Unbreakable Formula - taken all research from Dr. Noah Burstein''s mind via Soul Searching (Telepath Memory reading) technique while also retrieving and destroying all materials related to the formula then wiping him from existence after finishing up. Jones Flight Marker - took a DNA blood sample of Jessica Jones secretly when I sneaked at her home when she was passed out drunk. Extremis Formula - still under development under A.I.M and Maya Hansen''s hands. Plan on saving her in the shadows before she gets shot. It is just 3 years wait before Iron Man 3 happens anyways, should be enough to progress, and complete other projects by then. Heart-Shaped Herb (Wakanda) - the reason for this is the over-stimulation of the Pacinian corpuscles. This sends signals to the brain to allow for near-perfect movement. This is how Black Panther is able to twist and dodge with unparalleled grace. It also gives heightened senses. All of them. Black Panther is able to track by smell, see in the dark and hear the beating heart of those near him. There is also speculation of a very weak danger sense. I''m unsure about the last one, but I won''t complain either way. [A/N: Wiki] Though the formula is still under development because the last two are not yet acquired, we''ve made improvements to the Vita-Ray Chamber. It now has the regenerative functions with healing fluids like DBZ''s Frieza''s Healing chamber where the Saiyan''s are kept during infancy and when they get injured heavily after coming back from galactic missions. Wayne Enterprise is also expanding in different industries other than the Tech, Construction, and Medical field. This one will be including damage insurance regarding supernatural fights, News industry, banking (Savings and Loans) which will serve as the platform introduction for the Zenny (Online Currency), Restaurants and Bars, and lastly Books-Movies-TV Series (that has GOT, Narnia, Star Wars, Star Trek and Ender''s Game well mostly the ones that don''t exist here from my previous life) With this already in progress, I now have a ton of outlets to encourage people in my "Meta-human" conversion from "Mutants" rights. Now that I have most of the people questioning their religion( mostly Christians and Catholics) when we published both movies and books of; Angels and Demons, The Da Vinci Code, The Lost Symbol, Inferno, and Origin. After shaking up their beliefs, I plan on slowly but surely get them hooked onto Star Wars and Star Trek books and movies. This will make them be a bit open-minded regarding galactic affairs then hit them hard with ''Ender''s Game'' movie a month right before the Chitauri invasion happens, telling the entire world that they were warned regarding such stuff. ***** *ALERT!* "Sir, it''s about time for you to meet up with Peter and the others by the New York Public Library. Would you like me to send a clone instead sir?" ¡ºAugur¡» notified me out of nowhere breaking me out of my thoughts. "No need I''ll go. It''s about time I tell them too, and Peter is in dire need of an overhaul on his Homecoming suit." ¡ºJohn¡» I replied shaking my head as I blinked towards the spot where we are meeting. Oh, I nearly forgot explaining where I got my lower tier [Space Force], took it from John Wraith. Another person I rescued other than the Kinney''s in a Weapon X facility run by Stryker, the guy has just bout enough space force though small for me to copy his Teleportation ability. 11 Super Friends Upon blinking inside an empty bathroom stall within the NY Public Library, I made my way out to the entrance to wait for the gang to arrive. Since I don''t wanna tell that what I was really up to in a public area where you don''t know who might be listening in on the conversation. As I reach the entrance, it was just on time where once Jean saw me, she straight up tackled me with a sprint as I received her in my embrace kissing her lips. We both would have gone down the ground had I not trained my body and reaching a height of 6ft with muscles purely consisting of pink muscles (except of course the important part like organs and brains, though my dick is also pure pink muscle.) The girl I knew who was so fragile back then is now a woman with a height of 5''7ft and hour-glass body huge bust and booty. With her hitting puberty real hard Ned and Peter felt really awkward being around her without me in the group, though the good thing they got a new member whom I previously mentioned. Gwendolyn Stacy blushing as she witnessed me and Jean kissing, looking like Caroline Zalog [A/N: another Instagram model look her up] with a height of 5''3ft appropriately slim body with more emphasis on the booty (though that will change soon enough). Another geek in the group a brilliant geneticist who is already working as an intern in OSCORP where she toured Peter''s group during the incident. My plan hiring her into Wayne Ent. might be sped up as Harry Osborn is bugging her in her workplace "Sup girl? Missed me that much?" ¡ºJohn¡» as I pulled my head away from hers stopping our french kiss abruptly. Inhaling"Hmph, without you in class it just becomes stale to even attend it. (Maybe I should just skip grades too like you so we can together more often? What do you think?)" ¡ºJean¡» gasped a little for a reply after breaking away from the kiss then barraging me telepathically with questions while clinging to my arm. "(Hmm¡­ Of course why not, if you can do it then do it.) Aww¡­ I missed you too!" ¡ºJohn¡» I replied while giving a light kiss on her forehead. "Wuts up guys? Everything going great in school?" ¡ºJohn¡»as I asked everyone in the gang showing them I didn''t just forget about them from the kiss momentarily¡­ "Yeah, yeah.. though just like Jean said it already became boring without you in it and your constant pranking of bullies like flash." ¡ºNed¡» replied sourly while slightly trying to guilt-trip me. "Well, it''s fine, though Flash doesn''t bother us that much anymore even with you gone." ¡ºPeter¡» replied with his chin up with a slight smirk. "Well yeah, cause you suddenly got courage out of nowhere. Did you just also hit puberty, Pete?" ¡ºGwen¡» as she countered. "Haha, that''s not working anymore on me Ned. You''re a big guy now PUN intended, as you don''t look so cute like back then." ¡ºJohn¡»I retorted lightly punching his shoulder. Where he dramatically jumps back as someone pushed him while waving his hands in the air. "Ughhh, am not! I feel offended. And why did you punch me so hard?" ¡ºNed¡» as he rubs his shoulder that I tapped lightly earlier looking at me teary-eyed. That made everyone laugh at his sorry figure instead of pitying him. "Alright, stop acting like a bitch Ned. I''m bout to tell you guys something important today, let''s go somewhere else to speak privately." ¡ºJohn¡»as I waved my arm around hinting Ned to stop fooling around and putting my serious face on. "Tsk, no fun. Since when did you become a killjoy¡­" ¡ºNed¡» wanting to get the last word in. "Ohh, you''ll be begging for me later for fun. Alright everyone, follow me." ¡ºJohn¡»as I smiled wickedly to Ned. Where he got a chill from the look I gave. Everyone followed me in a dark alley at the side of the library and when everyone is within the shade of the building I surrounded them with my [Shadow Force] to connect them to me instead of holding hands quickly and blinking everyone else towards the Batcave. GASPS They all gasps and tried to cover their eyes at the sudden change of lighting from sudden darkness to the brightness of the Batcave, I waited for a few minutes to let their eyes adjust a little more before explaining. But before I even voiced out I got interrupted by Ned again when he noticed the bat suits of Nightwing and Red hood on display. "YOOOOO! Are you like for real?! Are those Nightwing and Red Hood suits?! Are we like in a secret base? Am I dreaming? Can someone pinch me to check if I''m really dreaming?" ¡ºNed¡» he yelled as soon as his eyes adjusted rushing to the display cases of the suits. Breaking everyone else out of their stupor. Slap"OWWW! What the hell was that for?!" ¡ºNed¡» complained while holding his left cheek. "There, you still felt like dreaming?" ¡ºJohn¡» as I lightly blow the hand that slapped him. "I asked for a pinch, not a slap!" ¡ºNed¡» Knuckle cracking sounds"Oh want to turn the other cheek to even up your face? You do know I got a ''slight'' case of OCD" ¡ºJohn¡» as I eyed his other cheek while stretching my left arm with obvious cracking sounds. Getting a laugh out of everyone after our skit calming them down. "No, no¡­ I was just kidding thanks for the slap. I''m awake, by the way where the heck are we?" ¡ºNed¡» hiding behind Jean for defense. Everyone else eyed me for an explanation after his remark. Cough Cough"Soo¡­ this is the important thing I wanted to talk about everyone. TADA!" ¡ºJohn¡» as I spread my arm around presenting the whole Batcave like the Greatest Showman. Cricket Noise Howling of the wind within the cave "So that''s it? You''re saying your both Nightwing and Red Hood?" ¡ºPete¡»he asked disappointedly "I thought there will be something more dramatic?" ¡ºNed¡» "Yeah, though it is surprising to find out you have a secret identity I felt that there is something more," ¡ºGwen¡» replied with a tilted head while thinking hard about something. While Jean is just quiet, expecting more. Awww she knows me so well. ""Yeah? Like what more?"" ¡ºClones¡» appearing behind the three through the shadow tapping their shoulders and asking at the same time. Making Peter jump up to the ceiling and sticking to it looking at my clone warily while Gwen after being startled ran towards me and I received her in my embrace unexpectedly. Lastly, Ned just plainly passes out after looking back and forth a few times towards me and at the faced that tapped him in the shoulder. We waited for a few minutes for Ned to wake up as I had to calm down Gwen through telepathically suggestion, and Jean assured Peter that everything is alright. Only then did we get to start the explanation part. "So what did you guys think?" ¡ºJohn¡»I asked looking at them a little worried that I might have scared them off. "First of all, what you pulled off earlier wasn''t even funny even as you play it out as a prank! Second of all you almost killed NED! Third, so PETER has powers too? And lastly was JEAN on it?!" ¡ºGwen¡»yelled Gwen as she berated my actions of showing off my powers while blushing at the end remember how she reacted badly at the prank by jumping into my arms "To be clear, no I wasn''t in on it.. though I knew he had powers what he showed was different from what I know of." ¡ºJean¡» smirking playfully at Gwen not knowing what is going through her mind, while glaring at me after knowing I kept something from her. "Wha-WHAT? Peter has POWERS? Do you also have another kind of POWER? And why you gotta go trying to kill me off Gwen¡­"¡ºNed¡» he yelled hysterically while holding his head getting more confused about the situation. "Um-itssss¡­ Ughhh¡­ Th-this ha-happened.. and-" ¡ºPeter¡» stuttering trying to explain his situation as I cut him off. "Well¡­ First of all, though you''d believe me if I show it you guys instead of just telling. (Second of all this is the power that Jean knows off.) Third well Peter got his because he got bit by a radioactive spider back at when he had that tour in OSCORP, I was already eyeing that stuff but one slipped past the net, and before I knew it Peter got bit." ¡ºJohn¡»I answered Gwen''s questions with the second part telepathically through everyone to state my point. "Wait w-what?! You knew?!"¡ºPeter¡»shocked at the revelation "Yeah, for a while. By the way, your suit sucks man. Are you going around Queens with that stuff on you? I feel embarrassed as your senpai."¡ºJohn¡»while doing a facepalm. "We-well, I''m not a rich kid like you so I make do with what I have on hand."¡ºPeter¡»replied dejectedly. "Worry not, I just got the thing for you. Why else did you think I brought you guys here."¡ºJohn¡»as I hooked my arm around him to his shoulder. "So that''s how you manage to play vigilante while having an alibi as M. John Wayne. You have your clones running around in suits while you show yourself in public places."¡ºGwen¡» as an imaginary light bulb glows above her head. "Quick thinking Gwen as always." ¡ºJohn¡» winking at her and receiving back a blush that stuns me and Jean smirking at the side watching everything. "What makes you think I won''t tell on you to my dad?! Hmm?" ¡ºGwen¡» she retorted and blackmails me trying to get back on what happened earlier. "Well, let''s just say that there is an open spot for a geneticist in Wayne Ent. Medical Department with good pay, benefits, and salary no strings attached¡­" ¡ºJohn¡» I replied played with words slowly looking at her in the eye. As her eye go big like an anime character at my offer. "Hmm? Who''s gonna tell on who? I''ll keep this shit to the grave. Say¡­ can I apply even though I''m still studying? If not I can skip grades like Jean if you don''t accept students just keep the spot open as soon as I graduate. Please, please, please, pretty please."¡ºGwen¡» quickly changing her tone, then begging me with her puppy eyes that pulled a string in my heart again before Ned broke the flow again. "Wait, so if Peter got his powers from a radioactive spider that bit him. And knowing that, you collected more of it¡­ Does that mean I can also have powers if I get bit by one too?!" ¡ºNed¡» yelled again at the sudden enlightenment, then start begging me too, to get him bit by another radioactive spider while hugging my leg. "(ENOUGH!) Why don''t you really explain why we are here babe?" ¡ºJean¡» yelled inside everyone''s head stopping Ned and Gwen from bugging me and calming down Peter at the same time. Though Ned is shocked again at another revelation that another one of his friends has powers. Cough Cough "Will you stop coughing to prepare already. Are you sick? Do you have some virus of some sort?" ¡ºJean¡»teasing me and getting everyone in a proper mindset again. Can''t let go of this girl that knows me so well as I give her a kiss on the forehead. "Alright, that''s enough gags for the day. Gwen no need to beg as I got a spot for everyone here in the company whenever you want to get a job as soon as you finish your studies. Ned though you are correct that I got more spiders that give powers, it''s not that I can''t give you one it is just that you need to have a compatible DNA sequence with the spider to receive a power boost like Peter. He was just lucky he was compatible with the one that bit him if not he could''ve died of radiation."¡ºJohn¡» I explained, with Peter shivering at the thought of what if it went wrong (well nothing will go wrong you have plot armor my dude.) and Ned getting disappointed with what I had said. "Though don''t worry as I got scientists working on perfecting a serum to give power boost for everyone here and if Gwen comes and works at the company it might just progress faster." ¡ºJohn¡»removing the dark clouds covering his face and putting a smile on Gwen''s too at the same time making her shiver from excitement. Ahh dammit, now it looks like everyone wants to skip grades now and graduate early. Well whatevs, might as well stop the creation of villain Vulture in the Spider-man: Homecoming. Though they might miss out on hanging out with Michell "MJ" Jones, I digress. "Well, those are just the surface of the important thing I wanted to talk about everyone. What I really want to do here is finish the magical oath I promised to you guys way back when we were still in school together, though I manage to skim around it by telling you I was really busy with corporate stuff even if it wasn''t a lie I still hid some truths. I was really busy with this Super-Powered stuffs. And before you say anything about the Magic Oath, I do not consider this as a joke. As you can see for yourself there are some powers you can''t explain yet with science so don''t rule out that possibility that Magic exists too. My current plans as of now are to help out Peter with his powers as he doesn''t have the training of how to even protect himself properly so before you go saving everybody in Queens and be a vigilante learn how to protect yourself and those around you first."¡ºJohn¡»with a gaping O mouth response from Peter as he piece two and two together that I was the one that saved Uncle Ben that night with my black colored based suits. "Daaaaammn, so that''s why you rarely do oaths back then. We should really avoid making those Magical Oaths more often, and can''t believe it was really Peter was Spider-ling, Spider-boy? What do you call yourself Peter?"¡ºNed¡»gaining another enlightenment while low key dissing Peter at the same time unknowingly. "It''s SPIDER-MAN! MAN! Okay?!" ¡ºPeter¡» snap backed with a vein-popping at his forehead. "So when do I start, Mr. Wayne, Sir?" ¡ºGwen¡»asked chummily knowing she got a job ready for her at my company. "Hmm¡­ is cloning, teleporting, and telepathy your only powers?"¡ºJean¡» she asked getting us on topic again. Perceptive as always, maybe its because the seal on her powers are slowly loosening gotta go and make her start training in mind arts soon. "Ahh, it''s kinda hard to explain?" ¡ºJohn¡» I replied while making two clones with a Rasengan of light and dark ball while levitating slowly off the ground.After showboating again for the last time land on the ground and dispelling the clones, they broke out in cheers again. "That is AWESOME!!"¡ºNed and Peter¡» "Cool¡­"¡ºGwen¡» eyes glowing thinking she can have powers like mine once she works on that serum soon. "Heh, should be powerful enough like that to be my boyfriend!"¡ºJean¡»stating it in a ''as a matter of fact'' tone like it''s the most obvious thing in the world, going in for another french kiss as I stopped the show. Gasps"Well, that''s just a few of what I have in my arsenal as my basic power is to copy other people''s power and make it my own. So I''m not sure regarding its limit, I guess I have just scratched the surface in the recent years of experimentation and training."¡ºJohn¡»I stated embarrassingly after taking another deep breath from the kiss. Ugh, can''t seem to hold it together for another year, just one more year before I pop the forbidden CHERRY!. "That''s just scratching the surface?! You fucking HYPOCRITE! Why are you looking embarrassed at your powers? Wanna trade places and let me be the rich powerful kid and you be the fatass prick?" ¡ºNed¡» complains at my statement. "Oh so you know you''re a fatass yourself? Hahaha, no thanks."¡ºJohn¡» "Yeah, cause I''m no hypocrite."¡ºNed¡» "If you don''t stop that shit, I''ll just wipe your memory and get you back on your normal life. Hmm?"¡ºJohn¡» glaring at him wickedly. "Alright, fine. I''m sorry."¡ºNed¡»apologized while grumbling under his breath ''sore loser''.Flick "OWW! What the fuck was that?!" ¡ºNed¡»while holding his forehead that has a slight bump now. "Hahahahaha" ¡ºEveryone¡» "Forgot about [Telekinesis] and [Super Hearing]"¡ºJohn¡» I replied smugly. "That''s cheating!"¡ºNed¡» "Babe what about a tour of the place?" ¡ºJean¡»having enough fun, she took notice of the unique charm of the Batcave and wanted to explore the area. "Aight, fall in line everyone. Anyone who speaks out of turn of wanders off goes back to normal life¡­ Understood?" ¡ºJohn¡»while glaring jokingly at Ned and him shivering not knowing if I was kidding or not. As I toured them around the area showcasing Phoenix and Spider-man suits much to their shock and joy Jean''s and Peter''s reaction whereas I expect that they wanted to try it on the spot. I stopped them as I will only give it to them once they finish the training program I have in mind for them. Again repeating a calming mantra inside my head due to Jean''s seducing moves to get what she wants. After touring around the Batcave we head up to the Mansion above to eat, with Sebas prepared a timely with dinner thanks to Augur predicting such situation as he knows my body status. Before I sending everyone home I gave everyone a prototype Transer with limited functions. Looking like a plain accessory in disguise, static force field to avoid leaving hair fall all around New York, having an all-time tracker and emergency button, limited holo functions similar to; smartphone, pc, and smartwatch. Though they can only use it privately as they might get unnecessary attention from powerful people so they still have to bring their I''m also having slight expectations on what kind of powers Ned and Gwen will receive once they get the META formula treatment. Now I should also start making code names for them and the team too. 12 Genius Architect B.R.E.A.K. ---A FEW WEEKS LATER--- (Spongebob voice) DING! DING! DING! "Sir, scheduled alarm on interference for target five-nine in Northern New York Regional Zoo is due in about 30 mins." ¡ºAugur¡» notified me "Alright, what''s the status on the rest of the recruits for the B.R.E.A.K initiative? And have you taken the necessary steps for the gift before I meet with the target?" ¡ºJohn¡» "It''s already at 90%, they are at the ready just waiting to see who will be the one managing them before they give confirmation. Yes, sir, all related data for the target has been re-established. While the manipulator behind him has been disposed of." ¡ºAugur¡» "Perfect work as always Augur. They have the right to be wary after all that they''ve been through the past couple of years, besides it was us who reached out to them and not the other way around so they will always think there is a catch. Let''s just hope my meeting with the target doesn''t throw off all the plans I have for him. Assemble the other members on B.R.E.A.K. initiative except the one included in this meeting within the next 3 hours. Our conversation shouldn''t take too long." ¡ºJohn¡» I ordered as I blink away from my office to my destination, excited meeting an idol from my past life. "Confirmed"¡ºAugur¡» ---Northern New York Regional Zoo--- (Third POV) A man clearly in disguise as a zoo staff holding a coffee close to his chest with a lean build, height of 6 ft is slowly trailing a few feet behind a woman of 5''7 ft tall with dark red hair carrying a young toddler. When he was suddenly bumped in the shoulder by a young teenager with the same height spilling it on his shirt. Looking closely at the young man that has a figure of an Olympic athlete, annoyed making him lose track of the people he was following. "Oh sorry bout that, I wasn''t paying attention." ¡ºJohn¡» said while scratching the back of the head, in an apologetic tone. "It''s fine¡­"¡ºMan¡»in a low but slow grumble. Walking away, don''t know if he wants to be mad, sad, or thankful for what the young man did. Before he was stopped in his tracks from what he said as soon as he turned his back on him. "Maybe I can get you a new coffee by the cafeteria Mr. Kaniel Outis, or should I say¡­" ¡ºJohn¡» stopping the man as he offered him a drink. Waiting as he completely faces him again before finishing the sentence. "Mr. MICHAEL SCOFIELD?" ¡ºJohn¡»while doing a wicked smirk as he knew he got the target hooked already. "¡­"¡ºMichael¡»looking at the young man intently thinking deeply where he has seen the familiar face when it clicked to him he saw the man from the news as a young genius billionaire. "I''d like to take you on that offer, young master Wayne. As I''d like to know how you even know of me a nobody."¡ºMichael¡» replied after thinking, weighing his options. "(Don''t sell yourself short Michael.) Though Poseidon tried to remove your existence in the grid, he didn''t manage to erase everything. Come let''s go for a walk, and don''t worry bout your family you''ll see them soon after our talk. Don''t misunderstand as I mean no harm, unlike your previous contractor." ¡ºJohn¡»retorted mentally and verbally greatly shocking Michael of the sudden mind intrusion, while not forgetting to reassure him at the same time. "¡­" ¡ºMichael¡» keeping quiet while mentally processing on the current details that he got from that short conversation. Planning on how to take the upper hand once they speak in a more private setting. While walking around the zoo, John took his time bringing Michael going to the room he plans on having a discussion giving the man enough time to think as he knows the guy likes to overthink things due to his genius. This is the main problem in his current state, had he been as experienced as his counterpart Leonard Snart in The Flash (CW) series he wouldn''t have gotten a lot of people killed in his escapades. "Want some coffee? Or maybe Tea? You know you shouldn''t always overthink things, you need to relax more often as your brain might overheat from planning everything to the last detail, and expecting things will go smoothly." ¡ºJohn¡»he interrupted Michael in his thoughts notifying that they have arrived at a private room. Opening the door, inside was the woman he was following earlier who was carrying a toddler that is now sleeping peacefully in a stroller. Upon entering the room I stepped to the side quickly and after closing the door as Michael got in, I silently covered the entire room outside with [Yin Force] bringing it to the Darkforce Dimension temporarily to avoid prying eyes. ----- "I''ll take care of the baby and I will give you 30 mins to catch up before discussing important matters." ¡ºJohn¡»stated not expecting any replies at the couple kissing and hugging upon reuniting, heading straight to the baby-making sure he doesn''t get disturbed from the joys his parents are having. "MICHAEL! You really were alive just as he said! Thank God!"¡ºSarah¡» rushing to her husband''s embrace hugging him tightly and kissing deeply for a few minutes before bursting into tears of joy. "I''m sorry, Sarah¡­ For leaving you guys like that. I had no other choice."¡ºMichael¡» giving the same response as his wife, hugging, kissing then bursting to tears. "I know you had a good reason for doing what you did, as you always have. I''m just glad that you''re back."¡ºSarah¡» "I''ll tell you later with Linc too, as it''s a long story. I still have to have a conversation with our benefactor there. Earlier you said you knew I was still alive, was it also him that informed you?"¡ºMichael¡»looking at John''s direction. "Yes, he reached out to Linc and me for a job offer. We also thought there was some sort of catch, but then he told us there is nothing and informed us consider it once he proved to us you are still alive. We got our hopes up because of his background and he didn''t let us down. Just hear out his offer, then we''ll decide together as a family."¡ºSarah¡»after calming down, Sarah began teasing Michael how he missed a lot of the ''first'' their baby did. "Having fun you two? Worry not you''ll have a lot of time to spend together later once Michael and I settle everything. Sarah goes take Michael Jr back home, be ready for the meeting in a few hours too."¡ºJohn¡» Interrupting the two lovebirds exactly thirty minutes later as he returns the room back to Earth''s dimension sending Sarah out escorted by Sakaki Shio of Ry¨­zanpaku then drifting it back to Darkforce Dimension for privacy. ----- "Alright now that we''re alone, state your piece, and stop with the necessities I know you can read minds with what you did earlier. How''d you know I''m still alive? Are you also trying to blackmail me with my family like Poseidon? Who are you really? His competitor or something? Or someone working deeper and undercover than CIA?"¡ºMichael¡» glaring at John, having a misunderstanding as he saw the huge build of the bodyguard that escorted his wife out. "Oooh straight to the point as expected. Well, no need to go around the bush, since you understand as I have a power related to the mind it''s better I show it to you as to not waste time explaining something complicated with words. Lie down the couch and relax, don''t resist my mind as it enters through yours so you can understand how I knew about your circumstances." ¡ºJohn¡» Waiting for a few minutes to relax his tense nerves from the ups and down his emotions are going through, he manages to find some inner peace and nodding to John that he is ready. Upon getting confirmation that he can proceed, John slowly closed his eyes sitting in a comfortable position entering his mind palace going straight to the library of memories. Picking the book containing the Prison Break series memories from a shelf, he asks Augur to make a copy of it editing out any unnecessary stuff relating to the show such as the area around the monitor playing the whole series. Focusing entirely only on the show playing in the screen removing the credits and intro making it flow in one whole movie. Hoping that this should count as a precognition type vision focus on Michael''s life and everyone around him within the series. Being content on the final draft Augur produced, he opens his eyes in the real world and walked up to Michael''s couch lightly putting an index finger on his forehead and sending the edited book to Michael''s brain. With closed eyes, Michael processed the new knowledge or memory that just popped up in his head. It was a strange feeling watching yourself from a third-person point of view, it makes you see the key things you missed and important details that you should have noticed to prevent an accident happening. Even though he already experienced most of the earlier versions of himself in his point of view, but as he watched noticing its almost finished seeing the new memory of his future working for Poseidon though he manages to get his life back he still feels great remorse of seeing his future partner and new accomplice Ja die on his last escape from prison. Though he hasn''t met either of the two yet, he still feels saddened by the loss as the kids died for him in the end just so he could be a free man again and be with his family. Though there was a big-time skip in between his fake death and the Ogygia Prison escape, it was stated by Whip himself that they worked for 21 Void long enough to be so close that he gets himself killed for him. Absorbing everything from what he received he now knows that the person he is up against knew exactly almost everything there is to know about in his whole life when he started breaking his brother out of prison. Which confuses him more as he doesn''t know what the man requires of him, is it possibly another escape from a maximum prison? No that''s not possible, with just his mental power he can already know what to expect from people and if you consider his precognitive ability he can just walk out of it in a breeze. Reading Michael''s surface thoughts as he quickly calmed down and changed moods from a pained one to relieved then back to calculating countermeasures, John felt amused as to how overthinking can really also be a problem. Again breaking Michael''s thoughts, he places down a Holo-smartphone across the table getting the attention of his target. "As you can see I already answered your question regarding how I now of you and your connection to Poseidon. Before you add more any questions, let me, as you say it, now ''state my piece."¡ºJohn¡» waving a hand across to stop Michael from speaking. Ordering Augur to start the presentation with the hologram produced by the phone starting from introductions. "You may have already known my name from the news, but do let me introduce myself properly. Name is Markly John Wayne, a young genius billionaire, owner of Wayne Enterprise. Answering your previous question, no I''m not trying to blackmail you as I''m here to offer you a proper job within my company. Don''t worry it''s nothing of the sort from your previous encounters."¡ºJohn¡» "I want you to manage a branch of ours B.R.E.A.K (Building Recovery Enhanced Administration Kitting) responsible for damage control, repairs, and reconstruction of buildings as I consider you the best at the Structural Engineering field with the feats you achieve in your life(All Seasons of Prison Break). Don''t worry you won''t face any identity crisis anymore as we''ve settled the issue regarding your previous employer." ¡ºJohn¡» Where Augur slowly showed all his personal details such as social security number, diplomas, degrees, driving license, passport, etc¡­ all restored with his original face on it. Then moving on to show how we ''took care'' of Poseidon and his 21 Void operations. "We also took care to wipe your slate clean and not just you but your wife and everyone involved in the memory I showed to you. As your wife states there is finally no catch this time for I want you to work for me sincerely as I value your talent."¡ºJohn¡»noticing Michael''s glowing face and an expecting look he knows it''s time to give the final blow. "Mr. Scofield¡­"¡ºJohn¡»making the scene intense. "You are now, A FREE MAN!" ¡ºJohn¡»ending the Holographic show with the last scene from Prison Break S5 of Michael with his family on a picnic together with his 7-8 year old kid.Source attached in the image. Disclaimer: This work is not for profit, no copyrights infringement intended as all recognizable characters are own by respective owners mentioned in which book, movie, series, and the company they are mentioned from within the novel. 13 Crew Announcement 2,626 words Note: Please bear with me with the following chapters as I''m trying to get the hang of writing in "Third-person Omniscient" as I read in the forum yesterday that most people who reads CN novels prefers this type of writing thanks to LittleBlueLake. "You are now, A FREE MAN!" ¡ºJohn¡»ending the Holographic show with the last scene from Prison Break S5 of Michael with his family on a picnic together with his 7-8 year old kid.Source attached in the image. Left speechless at the piece that Michael''s heart wanted the most after breaking his pregnant wife out of prison and faking his death. Waiting for a moment to process everything, to let it all sink in his complicated mind. Now that he doesn''t need to ''Make a plan(against other humans), Execute the plan, Expect the plan to go off the rails(when did it not?)... then Throw away the plan'' as what Leonard Snart like''s to preach anymore, he felt like a mountain weigh of burden was suddenly off his chest and now feeling cloud nine the most relax and relieve feeling he ever experienced in his life. With a reddened face and slight teardrop at the corner of his eye, all he can say to the person that gave him all this to show his gratefulness was say... "Thank you!" ¡ºMichael¡»before bursting out in tears of joy. Walking away for a moment to let the man process everything, John went to the ''kitchen'' area of the room he rented and made some coffee for himself and checking with Augur how is the schedule for the day was going. "Everything is going smoothly sir as you still have 30 minutes for the next meeting, all expected members are assembled at the HQ waiting with Sarah telling everyone what happened here."¡ºAugur¡» "30 minutes huh, I guess that should be enough to let Michael calm down. Also, notify him that he can freely use the Holo-phone I left in the table to browse the internet as he likes before we leave to meet with everyone."¡ºJohn¡» --- A FEW MOMENTS LATER--- Blinking at the conference room where all the supposed ''Crew'' of the BREAK initiative are Michael and John with Michael now being dressed in an expensive Armani suit. For ten minutes before coming did it occur to John that Michael was still wearing his coffee-stained disguise, therefore they left the zoo guest room he rented 10 mins earlier to fix up Michael''s appearance. Upon arriving, Michael was tackled by both Fernando Sucre and Lincoln Burrows and almost suffocated to death from their Vice-grip hugs. While some of the expected ''Crew'' was still on their seats smiling or smirking at the arrival of the two though shocked a little at how they arrived even when they were notified by Sarah that their new ''Boss'' has some supernatural abilities. Of course, once they arrived, John made sure to always put the room they are in within the Darkforce Dimension. He is making it a habit so he will feel assured that anything discussed within won''t leak outside the room. "Alright that''s enough you''ll have enough time later, we''re here to talk about your decisions now that I have delivered on my word." ¡ºJohn¡»promptly stopping the happy reunion of the guys. "My decision is already made upon seeing you arrive together with Michael. Just that I have one question.. What is T-bag doing here as well?!" ¡ºLincoln¡»said while holding his brother''s shoulder firmly afraid he''ll disappear again once he let go while giving a glare at T-bag at the end of his sentence. "Take a seat so we can begin introductions first as we have one guy who is not familiar with anyone here other than his father Theodore."¡ºJohn¡»calming Lincoln and the other of the tense staring contest of the two. "First of all, Theodore here is now a changed man now that he found someone he considers family and Linc don''t let his past actions get to you. You know better than everybody else that you would have done the same thing he did were you in his shoes just to survive or let Michael survive given the same options and situation. I need you guys to work as not just a team but also as a family now. "¡ºJohn¡» "Like Mr. Mahone here, no human being is inherently evil other than the few ones I know of, so learn to forgive him slowly. Now that we''ve got that out of the way, let us begin introductions. Questions will be answered after introductions." ¡ºJohn¡» (Good afternoon everyone, if there is anybody who doesn''t want to do anything with this group raise your hands now as I can just put you back to your ''normal life'' without remembering anything related to this event.) ¡ºJohn¡»said to everyone mentally while doing a confusing smirk where you don''t know if its an evil grin or gentle smile. Within the now quiet room everyone staring at John noticing how his lips didn''t even open while wearing that confusing grin, shocked when they heard his voice in their head while Michael is now expressionless as the same trick won''t work twice though his eyes went wide a little now knowing John can wipe memories too. His opening statement achieved the expected results as he knows no one wants to get back to their ''normal life'' as you can see from Prison Break S5 of their situations after 7 years. "Now introducing Mr. Michael Scofield with his tested and proven brilliant mind, he will be the CEO on Wayne''s Construction company. Where he will design, verify, and approve all the schematics of the buildings for the company and reconstructions and repairs." ¡ºJohn¡» while pointing to Michael making stand up and gave a slight bow to greet everyone. "Next to him is his wife Mrs. Sarah T. Scofield, who will be the one managing the finances of the company. While on his right side is his brother Mr. Lincoln Burrows will handle security measures, they got different surnames because at a young age their parents got divorced and took one kid each."¡ºJohn¡» "Our good friend Mr. Fernando Sucre after Lincoln will be the one responsible for gathering and shipping materials required for the construction. As Mr. Alexander Mahone, Theodore Bagwell (T-bag) and his son David Martin (Whip) will handle the legal issues or processes related to the construction progress. Any questions?" ¡ºJohn¡»finished introducing everyone within the conference room. "I have, why choose us? Why me? I barely know everyone in here..." ¡ºDavid¡»raised his hand and speaking bluntly what was scratching his mind. "Alright, I''ll show you why as I don''t like speaking too long. Everyone close their eyes and relax, don''t resist when you feel something enter your mind." ¡ºJohn¡»making a gun sign with the fingers in his right hand like the one in ''Yu yu Hakusho'' Spirit Gun move shooting everyone in the head except Michael. While waiting for everyone to absorb the mental show they just received, John and Michael discussed at the sides the building blueprints John has finished and asks about the flaws it had not forgetting what improvements can be made on that flaw. Busy and almost getting lost to their discussions they were interrupted by David''s sudden scream and T-bag rushing to hug his son. "Well, I didn''t feel well either after watching myself die even though it was a fake one. I bet he is feeling worse as he actually dies." ¡ºMichael¡» he commented knowing the reason behind David''s scream and T-bag''s actions. Seeing that David just passed out from the shock he received seeing himself die in the future, everyone waited a couple of minutes as they try to process what they saw until he woke up again. "Now that everyone is more acquainted with each other. What you have just watched was the past and future of your ''Normal lives'' through my ability. This is the last time I''ll bring it up for those who want to back out as I can still return you to your set destiny. Make your choice now as it''s about time we discuss key details on what future plans BREAK has. There''s no more backing out once I start."¡ºJohn¡» Getting everyone''s attention again. Seeing everyone sit still and focus on him. He told Augur to call everyone to the conference room everyone he deemed important figures within the enterprise as well as his family (lil bro in a separate room playing games) and friends he doesn''t want to repeat himself. "Wise choice, first incentive I will give everyone here for going through that experience is wiping your slates clean." ¡ºJohn¡»stated as the table glows showing a hologram of everyone''s criminal, government, and citizen records that looks fresh as brand new shoes with the timely assistance of Augur. "Second everyone on team BREAK will receive free accommodation near the company you will be working on just like the other staff within the enterprise. Third, everyone here will be undergoing training from the Ry¨­zanpaku masters to increase your individual strengths before being subjected to the META-formula that evolves your body making you look younger, longer lifespan, increased physical attributes, and intellect, even regrowing lost limbs are just the surface effects if you are not lucky enough to activate a superpower."¡ºJohn¡» "As you all know times are changing, there is a lot of people popping up with superpowers like myself, and my friends not just within our community but this is happening on a global scale and the rate that the surface will just increase as the years go by where there will be also an increase regarding fights between the ''Meta-humans''."¡ºJohn¡»with Jean greeting everyone with mental broadcast while Peter showing off by clinging to the ceiling. "I(DC) coined such term as it is a much better definition than that of "Mutants" which is also related to another term such as ''Freak'', ''Monster'', and the likes, but most relatively closer to ''Cancer''. Now, what do human beings do with ''Cancer''? Isolate it and then kill/remove it!¡ºJohn¡»as he states the last part with a yell. "On the contrary ''Meta-human'' is just another state of human being evolving further like our how our ancestors slowly moved up through the food chain from being primates to Homo sapiens until to what we are now which is ''Human''. Now, why did I say that the rate ''Meta-humans'' surfacing will increase in the future? It''s because the world itself warning us just being a normal ''Human'' won''t be enough to survive the upcoming crisis we will be facing."¡ºJohn¡»passionately continued his piece while showing the edited version of the ''Chitauri Invasion'' in the first Avengers movie through the hologram. Gaining another gasp from the shocked audience. "As you can see we are not alone in this universe, this is another ''Vision of the Future''(Otherworldly Knowledge) which is just the beginning. Though there was a huge count of casualties, Earth survived that one with the help of a powerful team composed of ''Meta-humans'', but the next catastrophic event that followed years after WIPED OUT half the population of Earth just from a SNAP of another powerful Galactic invader."¡ºJohn¡»showing the Avenger''s in the middle of New York, then moving to the scene of Thanos''s snap and people turning to ashes "I know we(future selves) as a whole, could''ve prepared and fought better at that stage had our planet been united as a whole and called all-powerful hermits hiding from the rest of the world. Because of the isolation they faced from being treated as a ''Mutant'' and not as a ''Meta-human''. Hoped that the government''s response regarding the first alien invasion(Publicly) was not to restrict the ''Meta-humans'' and make them fight each other just cause they are afraid of their powers and not being able to handle them with their own hands."¡ºJohn¡»scene where they sent of Hulk off the Earth, then the Captain America: Civil War. "Now then imagine if humans manage to successfully remove the gene that makes us evolve and adapt to environmental changes fight aliens with our outdated weaponry (for the aliens) against their futuristic advanced weaponry... We would''ve been completely wiped out without making the invaders break a sweat."¡ºJohn¡»Images and descriptions after ''M-day'', the day where Cerebro estimated a decrease of 91.4% of the world''s Meta-human population. [A/N: Look it up for those who don''t know. Decimation at marvelwiki.] "I created the BREAK initiative as your company will be the one responsible for damage control. Fixing the destroyed buildings at that level of fights while rebuilding it to be sturdier when facing the same situation again in the future not forgetting to also milk the government funds or even their corrupted pockets dry from the bills you''ll ask of them to pay for."¡ºJohn¡» smiling wickedly. "Tech department will be developing advanced weaponry and tools for the protection of everyone most especially the security team. No offense guys, even though you are at the peak of human capabilities with your martial arts you are still an ant in the face of supernatural powers."¡ºJohn¡» "A.I. Department, your progress is showing great advancements as they will be the backbone of our domination in Cyber Network in this era of information warfare. Medical Team, don''t rush and take your time in your research as we still have almost a decade to prepare before such invasions occur in the future."¡ºJohn¡» "Whilst I congratulate our Legal Department for a job well done in protecting our interests from the public and government. Though don''t get too relaxed as I''ll need your help creating bylaws for our future country and if everything goes smoothly our very own planet."¡ºJohn¡»while giving applause and special mentions to those that performed incredibly well. After a while, he returns the entire room back to Earth''s Dimension with his brother finally entering with waiters that brought all varieties of food in. "With great timing let us celebrate the welcome party of the BREAK crew along with my little brother''s birthday party as it''s the first time in a long time that everyone else is present!"¡ºJohn¡»with a flourish of his hand as the waiters take off the covers on the food tray. Along with Augur''s trigger of the confetti''s set up in the room that surprised everyone taking their minds off of the revelation they had for the day. (It''s not like I''m being stingy by celebrating 3 occasions in one party. Haha... ha) ¡ºJohn¡»thinking he did well hiding his schemes when he found his mother looking at his direction giving a thumbs up. (What a scary woman intuition... That''s why she''s the pillar of the house and dad''s the light. Ahh, it''s about time I reabsorb the clones for power-ups seeing one of them already entered the Grand-master level and mastered the art of harnessing Ki from the Ry¨­zanpaku masters.)¡ºJohn¡»already thinking about what to do next, while not forgetting to enjoy the current peaceful moment. Disclaimer: This work is not for profit, no copyrights infringement intended as all recognizable characters are owned by respective owners mentioned in which book, movie, series, and the company they are mentioned from within the novel. 14 Power up Unsealed part 1 3,309 words After the birthday/welcoming/congratulatory celebration, everyone went to their own homes with a full belly and future matters to think about through the night. Meanwhile after being questioned(interrogated) by his parents regarding what else he knows and that they left him after he says he can''t properly control this type of ability. Of course not before telling him to wake up early tomorrow as they will introduce his uncle who might be able to help him with his ''Cause'' as he blinked away towards the Bat-cave as soon as he was free. "Augur, activate Naruto training!" ¡ºJohn¡»Once he arrived in the training room on the Bat-cave sitting comfortably, he commanded Augur which immediately dispelled all clones once they are in a secure and hidden location spread around the world doing reconnaissance on specific targets, training other abilities, and lastly looting specific abilities and genetic materials for research. As he braced himself within his mind palace on the storm of knowledge, pain, pleasure, and all sorts of feelings that his clones experienced throughout their lifespan that is slowly being converted to books as he finishes absorbing one clone''s experience. "ARGHHHHHHHH!" "FUCK!!!" "SHIIIIEEEIT" "FUCKKKKK!!!" "MMMMMMOOOOOTHERFUCKER!!!" "Is this how the MC in those CN novels I had read goes through when they are training their souls?!! GODDAMMIT! This is why I only do it once a year... I bet Naruto has it easy when he reabsorbs his trained clones as Kurama takes the emotional factors away."¡ºJohn¡»as he grits his teeth while complaining after experiencing the pains of his clones that went through harsh battles and body training received from the Grand-masters. --- A FEW HOURS LATER --- GASPS GASPS GASPS wheezing as his real body grasps for the air of the torturous experience he just went through as he quickly re-enters his mind palace before passing out. "I can''t really get myself used to this shit. Now let''s see how much I progressed before I process the Intel they gathered next. Status!" ¡ºJohn¡»as he cracks his neck and hip joints (Imaginary as he is in an astral form within the mind palace). Noticing that his Astral body (Soul form) is becoming more solid and firm. ¡ª¨C Current Status¡ª¨C Name: Markly John Wayne (Age: 17) System: Augur (Gray)^ Body State: Status = Exhausted^[White (Ascendant - Intermediate)]^ Soul State: Status = Undying(Indestructible)^[Gray (Ascendant - Basic)]^ Bloodline: [Wayne ¨C Indomitable Will (Red), Intimidation (Red), Genius Intellect (Red)] [X-Gene ¨C Fusion (Violet)] [Transmigrated Soul ¨C Emphatic Mimicry (Violet)^, Otherworldly Knowledge(System)] [Fury ¨C Infinity Formula (Forever Compound - Violet), Cosmic Awareness (Red)]^ Abilities Acquired: ?Masteries (Violet)?

Abilities I granted you can''t be taken/copied away from you as they don''t belong to any universe, therefore successors of YOUR bloodline won''t be able to inherit it. "Heh, I like the new interface Augur!" ¡ºJohn¡»complimented upon noticing the differences with the status screen that popped in front of him. "As I''m linked to your soul, I receive what you call ''Patch'' in gaming terms sire. So whenever your soul increases a stage, I also go through an upgrade."¡ºAugur¡»responded in as a matter of fact tone to his host. Reading everything carefully each new abilities he got reaching until the end where he glances the last message left from Truck-kun where he can''t help from doing a facepalm regarding his almost forgotten gift that requires him to make both [Emphatic Mimicry] and [Body State] reach the (Violet) tier. "Hah, you think you got the last laugh motherfucker?! Just sit and wait there wherever you are til I surprise you by whooping your ass once I get powerful enough to reach you..."¡ºJohn¡»shouted to the empty air of his mind palace gritting his teeth. "Tsk should have been more pro-active about doing a background check from my family instead of waiting for them to open up to me regarding such matters. I''m getting lazy relying on my clones as of late, should''ve known better with all that I read novels about careless MCs regretting badly by being complacent."¡ºJohn¡»thought to himself recalling the instances where the MC let their guard down just because they know about the future not paying attention to the butterfly effects they themselves cause. Such as one where he thought an important character of one of the shows he transmigrated on was gonna survive a deadly strike because he is protected by the one thing every otaku knows as, theee ''PLOT ARMOR'', where he never even expected that deadly strike to be a decapitation attack that even the great Wolverine can''t avoid getting killed from. Another was because he was born as the unexpected sibling of the MC of his universe that he thought his parents and beloved was safe from harm but he got slapped hard in the face when he was proven wrong and that they aren''t the one''s covered in the plot armor, he was, as he became the new MC of said universe. Recalling other scenarios like those, he himself doesn''t assume he is the current MC of this universe that Truck-kun sent him too. He doesn''t even trust his words taking it with a grain of salt that there are no ROB (Random Omniscient Being) paying attention to the universe he currently resides in. As you can interpret it ''there wasn''t one when has was being placed on it'' or that ''there isn''t a ROB paying attention yet...'' meaning you''ll never know when one ROB was really watching it. That''s why he placed countermeasures such as static cling devices disguised as accessory gifts to his family and friends to keep their fallen hair, shed skins, and even sweats within the clothes that they take off before going to take a bath to remove such dirt. He even took measures that all people he considers important to him are being followed by small cleaner bots programmed to incinerate any DNA samples that their target discharges, though some are fixed to the sewers of each member''s homes. Now with the last "Surprise gift" of Truck-kun finally revealed, he just got relieved that he won''t be facing a clone/being made from his DNA to go against him... yet. Because you never know what happens and there might be exceptions so it''s better to prepare for the worst still. But what he does trust was the one talking about his powers unable to be copied/taken by another being. Where he guessed that Truck-kun really did it for his benefit to cover his tracks as he doesn''t want any ROB to find out he was related to John in any way. I digress, anyway focusing back to his newly copied/upgraded abilities within the status screen. Now that his soul ascended beyond mortal limits there were new features such as: System: Augur (Gray)^ Soul State: Status = Undying(Indestructible)^ [Gray (Ascendant - Basic)]^ ?Forces (White - Intermediate Force)?^ [Yin-Yang Force (Light/Life and Dark/Death)] [Speed Force (Time and Space)] [Strength Force] [Chaos Force] With an upgrade patch for the Augur that increased his functionality, who added the [Soul state] next to the [Body state] upon which he got from re-reading the cultivation techniques of CN novels his hosts read from his past life such as mainly ISSTH, and LOHP. Whilst the forces John have, though only 2 were added which is already more than enough because my clones focused on upgrading the aspects the one John already have like for [Yin-Yang Force] that was the fusion of [Light] and [Dark] from the Cloak and Dagger couple, now has the addition of [Life] force manipulation from ''Jiaying'' the mother of Quake (Daisy Johnson). Who mostly uses it to extend her lifespan, on the other hand, the [Death] force was taken from its branching application [Necromancy] powers of Dead Girl''s X-gene power. As for the [Time] and [Space], the two forces being fused to [Speed Force] was one of John''s clone''s handiwork of testing the ''Barry Allen accident'' through getting hit by lightning in a thunderstorm with the select chemicals injected within him. Of course, said clone only had the [Time] and [Space] force equipped to forcefully make a connection with the [Speed Force] of this dimension having a [Body State] at the (Gray) tier to handle such power should be enough. It was then augmented through the powers of ''Speed, Speed Demon, Black Racer and Quicksilver'' whom his keeping his tabs on before they get picked up suddenly by The Runner (Gilpetperdon) the God of Speed within this universe for the Galactic Marathon he will be hosting to know who is ''The Fastest Man Alive''. Where he can maybe find a clue on how to access different universes such as DC through soul searching Fastforward in the race covered by Stanley as ''Buried Alien'' hah, who''re you kidding Stan Lee? [A/N: Check wiki] The addition of [Strength Force] is from the clone who was still slugging it out with the Juggernaut, of course, that training doesn''t only benefit John''s clone as the Juggernaut is also a sentient being, meaning he can learn from its mistakes. Though John has no more further use of him with his current power level, it''s about time he cleans that mess up before creating further incarnations of Juggernauts. [Chaos Force] copied from none other than the "Scarlet Witch" (Wanda Maximoff) the seeded avatar of Chthon the Elder God of Chaos, having the clone found her he can now take them under his wing by approach the Maximoff siblings helping avoid ''Decimation'' (M-day) event first and other retarded shits they''ll be doing to cause chaos then helping to fix it after they regret what happened when it is already too late. Don''t need any more dramatic shits as this universe is already as messed up as it is currently. Moving on the updated/new abilities gathered John asked Augur to show a descriptive detail on each new abilities he received and from whom the clones copied it from starting from (Skills) up to (Masteries). [X-ray Vision] - Superman-like ability taken from the big-eyed minion of Magneto named Peter Quinn alias Peepers. (What a naming sense they had back in the day...) [Omnilingual Translation] - Upgraded version of Linguistics masteries, copied from X-men named Douglas Ramsey alias Cypher a hyper-linguist, and has a superhuman facility for translating any languages, spoken or written, human or alien in origin. His superhuman skill also extends to his great facility in deciphering codes and computer languages as well as understanding hidden intentions and body language. Cypher''s skills are such that he was once able to make great headway in translating the written language of an extraterrestrial race in a matter of minutes ability is further augmented by Apocalypse''s version that corresponds to all known Earth-based languages. A very important ability required for galactic and dimensional encounters which will be further augmented hopefully by Thor''s [All Speak]. [Instantaneous Adaptation] - another powerful ability of X-men Darwin also known as Armando Mu?oz his reactive mutation adjusts his capabilities to his environment. Examples of such manifestations include receiving functioning gills after being submerged in water, gaining night vision after being in the dark for several seconds. Being able to survive without oxygen when in space, his skin becoming fireproof when it is exposed to flames, his body becoming pure energy, his intelligence increasing itself, or the understanding of the Shi''ar language by looking at it in written form. However, his powers do not always take the effect he desires. For example, during his fight with the Hulk, his body teleports him away from the battle rather than supplying a power that would allow him to defeat the Hulk. Which adds on to the fact that there is no known mortal force yet that could face against the HULK. [Ability Absorption] - courtesy of Anna Marie (Rogue) another X-men, an unexpected gift and separate ability John gained as at first, he just thought her power would augment and elevate his [Emphatic Mimicry] to another stage but to his surprise, it resulted in him now being able to remove the target''s powers completely, and as it is completely different from just ''Copying'', by doing so helps him increase his current ones. Now thanks to this ability he can finally kill those at the level of Apocalypse beings by making them ''Mortal'' through the removal of their ''Immortality''. While not forgetting to help those Meta-humans who want their''s removed, such as Robin Hinton the child seer from Agents of SHIELD where she didn''t experience a normal childhood by not knowing which time period she is living in through her connection to her-selves in different timelines. [Biokinesis (DNA Manipulation)] - again X-men power of Sage, Charles'' spy within Sebastian Shaw''s ranks in the Hellfire Club as his assistant. That is also further augmented by another target to be removed from existence, Charles''s twin sister Cassandra Nova, who has [DNA Duplication]. [Power Bestowal] - Apocalypse ability that he gained from being enhanced of Celestial technology along with his [Immortality], [Enhanced Physique], and more. Now finding him wasn''t a problem with another ability I gained from one of his future Horseman of Pestilence. [X-factor(Quirk) Detection] - from a current Morlock resident and future Apocalypse minion Caliban in his malnourished figure within the sewers. As En Sabah Nur was one of the first human beings that activated his X-genes before he got enhanced by Celestial techs. With this ability, I''ll be able to hunt number one on my targets for immediate removal of the most dangerous and evasive individuals within Marvel-verse, Mr. Sinister (Nathaniel Essex). Caliban is able to psionically sense the presence of other mutants within a 25-mile radius of himself. He once proved to be able to catch mutants presence far more away than those 25 miles when he detected the powerful Moloid mutant Val-Or''s psychic scream, at the other side of the planet (This mutant was powerful but his powers could only have been sensed by more sensitive people) With the combination of this ability in tandem with [Biokinesis] once John''s clones return to their targets and analyze the unique genetic markers of the Inhumans, Aliens, Asgardians, and other types of super-powered humanoid type beings within the planet Earth. He might just be able to develop the necessary tech like Cerebro of X-men that focuses on the X-gene activation whilst the unknown magical device from Harry Potter-verse that detects kids with magical affinity within the British Isles in order to send them Hogwarts Invitation Letter upon reaching the proper age. [Elemental Control] - Crystalia Amaquelin (Crystal) an Inhuman royalty possesses the ability to mentally manipulate the four classical elements: fire, water, earth, and air. She does so by means of a psionic interaction with the substances on an atomic level. Certainly, Crystal can manipulate anything that involves elements. Currently undergoing the rebellious phase, and thanks to her sudden visit on Oagu island that his clone was camping managed to hitchhike on their way back to Attilan. Finally knowing the location of the Inhuman base up in the moon John can finally teleport in and out of the place and start his damage control before the ''Inhumans Outbreak'' from Agents of SHIELD. Ability also augmented from Storm''s weather control. [Mana(Ki) Manipulation] - another aspect of [Life Force] that exists within the human body. It is further increased from training with the Grand-masters of Ry¨­zanpaku allotted with multiple clones for Mastery in handling the energy trying to recreate the DBZ techniques and application. [Phasing] and [Inaudibility] - copied and augmented from two X-men members Katherine Pryde (Shadowcat), Alisa Tager (Cipher), and Dead Girl (Moonbeam). Both abilities further improved from the energy provided by the [Speed Force], which is great for spying and undercover activities of my clones. [Lie-Detection] - copied from Verity Willis the daughter of Roger Willis, the member of a family who had the duty to protect the Casket of Ancient Winters. Roger''s father, Eric Willis had also entrusted him with Andvaranaut, a magical ring that allowed its user to see through any lie. One day when Verity was a baby, she found the ring and ate it that granted her mental immunity to telepathy and other mind tricks. Verity absorbed its spell and is capable of detecting and seeing through all lies, no matter how big or little, or if they are of good or bad intention, and all illusions including those of magical nature cast by a god. This means Loki''s tricks and illusions will be null and void facing against such ability. (EVIL SMIRK) With her, on John''s intelligence network he can''t imagine how formidable it will become. Where she can sift through rumors and find truths hidden within the fake intel other intelligence network releases. Her ability is an important one to find spies implanted within my own company from the competitors we are facing by asking the proper questions to root them out. [Omni-Morph Duplication(Transmutation)] - Carl Creel (Absorbing man) possesses the ability to bodily duplicate at will the physical properties of anything he touches or that touches him. This power extends to both animate and inanimate objects and certain forms of energy. The matter of the Absorbing Man''s body magically undergoes a material and physiological change so that his body actually becomes composed of the matter or energy with which he is making contact. It works like Kevin 11 from the Cartoon Network show Ben 10 (which John plans on releasing to the media soon as it has aliens and powers like magic too.). But this one has more versatility to it as he can grant absorbed properties to his wrecking-ball weapon. He targeted this ability for its purpose of making counterfeits of an ancient item or powerful relic he desires like the Monoliths made by Izel from Fear Dimension that is currently in card form stored in his inventory which his clone had ''borrowed'' from SHIELD''s Lighthouse along with Maveth''s Monolith and the 10 Mandarin Rings. [Molecular Manipulation] - The power to manipulate matter on a molecular level, copied from Apocalypse that enables him total control over his molecular and sub-molecular structure, further bolstered by the Celestial technology augmenting him, he can also consciously or spontaneously grant himself with a wide array of new superpowers at will. Therefore boosting his ability [Power Bestowal] like All-for-One (AFO) from My Hero Academia which John has almost become with that power and [Ability Aborption] just without the Homo-superior shit like the belief of Magneto and AFO. He''d rather establish his own planet rather than conquering an existing one that will just result in bloodshed. Disclaimer: This work is not for profit, no copyrights infringement intended as all recognizable characters are own by respective owners mentioned in which book, movie, series, and the company they are mentioned from within the novel. 15 Power up Unsealed part 2 2,449 words Augur mentions he removed the dragon shout I made from the list as it is just a type of application from said ability much like how [Pyrokinesis] and [Cryokinesis] control of fire and ice are under [Elemental Control]. That all John does is put a name to the abilities application which he can still do if he wants to be acting like he is in an ANIME. Besides he had to keep his dragon language written journals in card form within his Mind Palace as the gaming world now knows of it through the games released by his company. Moving on to the ?Body (White)? section within the status screen along with Truck-kun''s final blessing... His body now so durable that Vibranium based weapons like Black Panther''s claws will only leave a scratch, though he bet he will still get injured taking a slash from Thanos''s sword that managed to break apart Captain America''s Vibranium Shield so he still has a long way to reach Indestructibility level of the body like Superman''s. Lifespan showed as ''Unknown'' as his soul is already at the ''Undying'' state, meaning he can just reconstruct his body back once it has been destroyed spectacularly like Dr. Manhattan from Watchmen (Movie). While his Healing Factor now reaching Namekian level where he can regrow his lost limb almost instantaneously as he wills it though will grow weak depending on the size of re-growed limb unlike Deadpool''s that takes time. ?Mind (Gray)? reaching [Ascendant - Intermediate] tier his Mindscape''s area extended outward now producing more realism towards the flora and fauna as like how Augur termed it as ''Patch Update'' on his soul and system enabling it more processing power and enabling it to run more mods. [Astral Manipulation] - where he can create, shape and manipulate astral energy, allowing them to project their (Astral Form) on physical plane and to the astral plane and interact there, see spirits, making spirits visible to others, astral trapping and potentially harming the dead. They can allow others to be able to use temporarily astral projection or block others from astral projecting, sending them back to their bodies if they had already projected. Most abilities included in Mind category has been augmented through multiple powerful Telepaths shadowed by the clones. Such that Astral Manipulation is almost a prerequisite skill to be considered as a powerful mental art that even the Mystics at Kamar Taj in Nepal teaches where the Ancient One used it to break Stephen Strange''s firm belief on science. [Hive Mind] - though all people who have the ability to clone themselves has this one it is still important to upgrade this ability so that at the event one has been separated between two different universes they will still be able to communicate between each other through soul connection even if there is someone strong enough to disable the function of the system. This also serves as the link that allows the original to swap bodies to his clones once his original body has been destroyed beyond regeneration. Thanks to Alisha Whitley an Inhuman who lives in ''Afterlife and Jiaying''s one-woman army'' this ability was greatly enhanced. This could be interpreted as a type of ''Horcrux'' from Harry Potter-verse where John keeps a separated soul(body in this case that has soul fragment) as a back up for Resurrection. Therefore granting the [Soul Split] ability that was also enhanced from another Inhuman from the moon named Ahura Boltagon though currently a kid, he is still a member of the royal family and therefore granted multiple abilities. [Knowledge Replication] - from David Alleyne (Prodigy) can gain/replicate any kind of knowledge, learned knowledge, and skills of others, be it knowledge over a subject, a foreign language, or mastery of a fighting style. They can duplicate information from creatures or inanimate mediums of data, such as books, computers, etc.. Potential company recruit will be taken in next year right after his cover is blown at Chicago together with Karma another mutant guarded by John''s clone waiting before Shadow King takes over to incinerate the fellow for good saving her after 2-birds one stone thing and all that. [Hyper Mind] - Sage, Amadeus Cho, and his nemesis Pythagoras Dupree perk. Once Amadeus showed me the problem he found online when he visited his parents during and wanted to see whether I can solve it or not before he tried it himself where I told him we answer at the same time in a paper to see who''s correct getting the result of a tie And before I let him submit the answer I told Augur to prepare a breach on the HQ network''s hack and trace it back to locate Dupree. The target of my think tank project, don''t want to do all the thinking by myself all the time as I might fry my brain that''s why great people know how to DELEGATE! [Mental Computation] - another perk of Sage one of the best minds and mental power-related within the current generation. This one helped Augur greatly during the ''Patch'' he received. "As I expected of me(clones)! I know myself better on what skills I greatly need for my cause and how to take advantage of my Otherworldly Knowledge" ¡ºJohn¡» [A/N: WIKIs!] as he already becomes narcissistic from his clones achievements. "Though some are out of reach as of yet, these powers should be enough for the first phase of my plans." ¡ºJohn¡» while carefully thinking on how to proceed from now on. "Ahh, never mind that. Let''s check out the goods they have already retrieved! Inventory!"¡ºJohn¡»he quickly pushed the thought aside with his building excitement towards the artifacts his clones managed to retrieve in this escapade as he commanded Augur quickly changing from ''Status Screen'' to ''Inventory Screen''. ¡ª¨C Inventory¡ª¨C Muramasa Blade Terrigen Crystal Ten rings of Mandarin Di''Allas Maveth Monolith Gravitonium Life-Model Decoy (LMD) Moonstone Power Prism Siege Perilous Sentinel (Mk X and Mk 2) Nimrod (Omega Sentinel/Bastion in the future) Eidolon Warwear Zodiac Key ¡ª¨CEnd¡ª¨C Muramasa Blade - was forged by Muramasa by using a piece of Wolverine''s soul, just as he used a piece of his own when he forged the Black Blade. This second sword is also made of an unknown alloy that was originally bright red in color, but now has the color of a conventional blade. However, much like the Black Blade, this sword is also extremely durable and is capable of cutting almost any substance. The blade has easily cut through the armor of a S.H.I.V.A. robot on a molecular level and has also "sliced" one of Cyclops'' optic beams into several different beams and reflected them in different directions. The sword is also capable of greatly reducing the efficiency of a super-humanly fast healing rate. Wolverine himself has stated that the sword is the only thing on Earth that can truly kill him. Terrigen Crystal - from the ledger trap of Jiaying, while some are taken from the Moon hidden within Attilan. Ten rings of Mandarin - SHIELD Lighthouse [A/N: won''t be discussing it in detail as it''ll be too much to copy-paste from the wiki''s just that there will be where it was taken from.] Di''allas - three monoliths of Izel taken from Lighthouse Maveth Monolith - portal monolith to planet Maveth where Hive (head and symbol of HYDRA) is currently stranded. Gravitonium - a small sample is also taken from the Lighthouse, can be used to develop the Gravity Chamber of DBZ. Life-Model Decoy - one unit taken from Lighthouse. Moonstone - part of the Lifestone tree taken from the museum Lloyd Bloch was going to rob that died due to the one he got shot with was a rock counterfeit. Not before taking intel regarding the Secret Empire (HYDRA) branch. Power Prism - part of the Lifestone tree, taken from the sleeping Kinji Obatu the first (Dr. Spectrum). John feeling smug thinking being able to stop that useless Dr. Spectrum shit. Siege Perilous - Taken from the hands of the psychopath family of Kensington. Sentinels - Mk X and Mk 2, from Steven Lang''s base. Though he hasn''t finished creating the Master Mold yet, John already plans on wiping his place and Trask''s bloodline or sentinel research clean. For he doesn''t want him and the anti-meta-human purists'' government set up the stage for "The Phalanx" race and disturb his MMBN project. Nimrod - picked up by the clone near the place where he and Juggernaut were having a slug-fest good thing alternate Forge made him arrive offline cause if not the clone wouldn''t have been able to convert him to a card thanks to that the creation of ''Bastion'' has been avoided. Eidolon Warwear - another one within the secure facilities of Lighthouse. Works like the Iron Man Suit and Black Panther suit from the Infinity War but way more advanced as this alien tech is made for the interstellar level battlefield. Zodiac Key - taken from John''s uncle(?) Jake Fury, as he has further use for it rather than his future nephew(?) Vernon becoming (Scorpion). Finished reading the list of the items looted, he makes Augur analyze some items such as the Monoliths and rings that need to be replaced with counterfeits soon that will only last til when they supposed to before being destroyed. In order to avoid altering the timeline too much as fucked up as the world currently is going through multiple time travel rewrites just to avoid blowing Earth up. That''s why our MC here just scans the pasts and futures through his [Time Force] power but not really traveling in time to avoid creating another reality and timeline. As he doesn''t even understand his background family where according to his clone that took the Zodiac key. It confirmed that Jake Fury brother of Nick Fury, is currently a white American citizen whereas his mom with a unique glossy skin apparently is a relative of ''a'' Fury according to the System and Truck-kun''s message hinting that the Nick Fury here is BLACK! So he doesn''t really know what the fuck is up with this universe he is in, he can only find out more clues once he meets another Special Being currently jailed within Asgard. "Agggghh, FUCK THIS SHIT! It''s very confusing! I''ll just wait till tomorrow and meet up with this ''uncle'' of mine to clear up this issue. As of now, it''s better to start the cleanup mission once I wake up and replace the counterfeits within the Lighthouse with the adjustment on Maveth Monolith, where it won''t send Simmons anywhere and just take the fragments the HYDRA has left." ¡ºJohn¡» he yelled within the mind palace noticing his body is now ready to wake up. Waking up and noticing the pile of black tar covering him in a cocoon, with a slight vibration of his body with the speed force it broke down and slowly faded away. Remembering the body cultivation of the CN novels he read, he guessed that must have been the impurities that left his body and confirming Truck-kun''s gift is hitting 2-birds with one stone again. Resting for a while in a meditative pose he left his body in Astral Form once Augur finished analyzing the items within his ''Inventory'' and prepared for another impurity clean up to further increase his body state. This plan which is rather crazy if not total madness as he is not leaving any type of back-up like a clone to transfer on once it fails. "Alright, Augur I''m ready... Initiate molecular self-destruction of the current body!" ¡ºJohn¡» receiving a confirmation from Augur and seeing his body fade away like a Thanos snap really is an eye-opener seeing the real thing this early in the season while slowly feeling his connection to it being cut-off. Once everything faded away, he proceeded with the next step. "Whooh that was quick... Aight now start Dr.Manhattan''s REBIRTH entrance!" ¡ºJohn¡» his body slowly being reconstructed with the combination of [Life Force], [Creation Force] from the Grey Monolith, and restructuring power of the (Zodiac Key). Of course, everything is currently being filmed as he is doing this within his Bat-cave. Starting with the skeletal makeup, circulatory system, muscles (including organs), then finally the skin and hair. Though he is not shining in color blue like Dr. Manhattan, his final skin is now as smooth as a newborn baby, new height of 6''7ft, weighing 93kg, and lean pink muscle build like the Black Panther not buff like Captain America. Still retaining his matte black hair though reaching shoulder level with a reddish hue at the end, light skin tone which he inherited from his mother, with the lilac eye color irises rimmed with gold while the facial features such as jaw, nose, chin, and sword-shaped eyebrows and a hint of squinty eyes from his father. DING!"Update [Body State: Status = Peak Form(Gold)] (Ascendant - Peak Stage). Durability: Only takes damage from God level beings or Celestial level items. Healing Factor: Magin Buu level without setbacks on regrowing limbs."¡ºAugur¡»as he notifies his host regarding the changes his body went through this purification process. "NICE! It went as expected! My HEART stopped beating for a second there!" Wink Wink ¡ºJohn¡»as he jokes around with Augur through his head. "..."¡ºAugur¡»getting no response he explained. "Get it? Cause I didn''t have a heart at the moment earlier?" ¡ºJohn¡» "Agghhh forget it! You might be a little fun later when you go through another upgrade and gain humor!"¡ºJohn¡» complains as the high of the joke was gone. Pulling out another set of clothes from his inventory and wearing it, he proceeded. "Alright! KAGE-BUNSHIN TECHNIQUE! x2x2x2x2x2x2¡­!" ¡ºJohn¡» yells like Naruto whilst creating his clones. "Initiate 1st PHASE! Disperse!"¡ºJohn¡»he commanded his clone with Augur initiating subsequent quest on the clones systems as they disperse to their previous and new targets. YAAAWWWWNNN "It''s bout time to get some sleep and prepare for tomorrow''s meeting. Though its a new body, my mind is already tired from all the shit I went through today. I might burn out tomorrow if I push it and carry on like this .¡ºJohn¡» letting out a long yawn, before blinking away to his room finally getting a night of proper sleep. Disclaimer: This work is not for profit, no copyrights infringement intended as all recognizable characters are own by respective owners mentioned in which book, movie, series, and the company they are mentioned from within the novel. 17 Breakthroughs and Clean up! 2,558 words As John was busy having wet dreams with his girlfriend, his Augur went to OVERDRIVE as he is busy finishing all projects computations, and simulations that were stationary for a long time now. With its upgrades, it was able to sort out most of the important projects (imagine something like the ''A.I Chip'' of Leylin Farlier from Warlock of Magus World though much better). "Zodiac Key, analysis complete. Basic A.I. system removed." "Siege Perilous analysis complete. Basic A.I. system removed." "Power Prism analysis complete. Krimonn sentience scanned and removed." "Moonstone, Gravitonium, Terrigen Crystal, LMD, Eidolon Warwear analysis complete!" "Muramasa Blade analysis complete. Wolverine''s lingering soul, sentience removed." "Sentinels analysis complete..." "Nimrod''s A.I. removed, data banks contained within the black box have been compressed and sorted." "Ten rings analysis complete... Individual A.I.s completely removed. Commencing creation of physical counterfeit... Done! Sent to clone J1 location Lighthouse." "Di''Allas analysis complete... Basic A.I.s removed. Commencing creations of limited properties counterfeit... Done! Sent to clone J1 location Lighthouse." A little while later the clone that is responsible of breaching Wakanda, now equipped with the [Speed Force], [Phasing(Invisibility)], and [Inaudibility] is able to breach the previous area he couldn''t access without alerting anybody, the inner sanctuary where they kept the Vibranium and Heart-shape Herb taking samples and seeds. Not forgetting to touch the Panther suits old and new(currently in works) versions to be analyzed by Augur. "Updating Database with the analyzed properties..." "Complete! Improvements on currently stalled projects now being calculated..." Brief Particle (Previously know as Pym Particle) - formula completed. Capsule application (25%) ---\u003e (60%) ---\u003e (85%) ---\u003e (100%)! Extremis - formula completed! Schedule of saving Maya Hansen moved up. Removal of Extremis research materials within A.I.M''s now commencing. META Formula (80%) ---\u003e(100%) - applying Extremis formula and Heart-shaped Herb analysis... Completed! Unstable Molecule Fabric (10%) - applying Mystique DNA, Nimrod''s memory banks, Zodiac Key restructuring properties, Di''Allas (Grey - Creation) Monolith. Progress (10 %) ---\u003e (50%) ---\u003e (100%)! Promethium (6%) - inserting Nimrod''s memory banks on synthesization of Vibranium(Wakandan), Adamantium, and Carbonadium. Progress (6%) ---\u003e (45%) ---\u003e (90%) ---\u003e (100%)! Assault Cuirass (13%) - fragmenting and optimizing UMF, Eidolon Warwear, Panther Suit (Old \u0026 New), and Nimrod''s memory banks. Progress (13%) ---\u003e (36%) ---\u003e (78%) ---\u003e (100%)! Inputting Fail-safe Protocol... Completed! AC (Assault Cuirass) - Malleable, DNA bound, Interstellar travel proofed suit meaning it is heat, water, and shock-resistant, able to convert water to be oxygen supply when submerged underwater and able to morph to scanned regular clothes. Basically one set of clothes to wear the whole lifetime no need to shop and just scan what piques your interest and it''s moddable when in Battlesuit form meaning if I put gadgets on it it will absorb it on the suit, therefore, no need to take it off after battles just need to replenish the consumables stuff. [A/N: Have I not yet been subtle enough that I''m a Dota 2 gamer?] Beginning building mass production facility on secured factory within Sector#F13XXXX. Though the ones mentioned were just one the most important projects John and Augur currently working on there are still other futuristic stuff that is undergoing breakthroughs in the research and development area thanks to Nimrod''s data banks containing futuristic technologies alien and Earth-based including future knowledge of any humanoid race regarding the advances made in science. --- AIM''s Facility--- "(Finally time to clean up these little shits! It''s been stressing me lot lately since I had to contain all my pent-up rage from number 1''s orders from just observing on the sidelines...) It''s Clobbering TIME!" ¡ºClone¡»Thinking it''s finally time to relieve himself of just being an observer he cries out the classic yell of the Thing from F4 before wreaking havoc taking out the guards in front of the AIM''s secret hideout that contains Dr. Maya Hansen and the Extremis Research. --- A FEW MOMENTS LATER --- Guessing everything is finally over slowly peeking out from under the table within her office noticing the sudden quietness that enveloped the area from all the gunshots and screaming she heard earlier. "Is it finally over?" ¡ºMaya¡»murmurs quietly under her breath, still shaken at the thought that she might die today from the hands of the intruder. "Yeah, are you hurt?" ¡ºClone¡»as he pops out behind her answering her question shocking to the point she passes out from the sudden surprise of somebody behind her. (I guess you aren''t, welp this just made my job easier to take her out of this place before it blows.) ¡ºClone¡»catching the target before she falls to the ground and carrying her princess style, disappearing where he stood before reappearing in the luxury suite of a 3-star hotel miles away from the base. *DING!* |MAIN QUEST COMPLETE!| Clean-up of Extremis Research materials and Facility Loot AIM (Cash mostly as for the materials and research can be produced) Rescue of Dr. Maya Hansen (Subquest: Hiring of Maya Hansen to the Enterprise) (Finally! Whoo! That was fun stress relief activity, the subquest will be easy I will just do it tomorrow once she wakes up as I can finally sleep like a log)¡ºClone¡»putting Maya in the only bed in the suite before passing out himself on the fold-able bed couch. The same scenes are happening throughout the globe taking out troublesome villains removing their superpower abilities first and putting them in the Think Tank in his own pocket dimension i.e materialized Mind Space with the help of [Space Force]. Villains such as Cassandra Nova (Charle''s evil twin), Steven Lang (though still in a coma), Nathaniel Essex, Apocalypse, and Pythagoras Dupree were put in the Think Tank. Whilst others such as Trask bloodline, The Orb before he kills the Watcher, Midas (Cosmic Man) owner of Midas Foundation and abusive husband/father, Mikhail Rasputin, and Henry McCoy were taken care of which means wiped out of existence removing the possibility of them ever resurrecting in some way. Of course not forgetting to collect all assets in the target''s hands making John richer than the mythical Rothschilds family with the collective fund of all the villains his clones cleaned up. Our MC is not the morally based type as he knows to beat and just imprisoning them after will just result and creating a bigger problem making the villain come back up stronger with a more heinous plan regarding world domination. ---MOON--- In an abandoned settlement of the Kree somewhere on the moon... "What is this strange feeling of sudden relief of a ''weight off your shoulders'' as the mortals say it and the constant feeling of being watched... Hmm... It''s crazy just thinking about it, me the WATCHER is being watched myself?!"¡ºUatu¡»muttering by himself to pass the time. "Must be the council keeping an eye on me due to my last blunder with the Kree''s on this planet... I guess I should watch how I conduct myself more of being just a Watcher an observer on the sidelines."¡ºUatu¡»as he shook off his head misunderstanding the feeling his guts were telling him. (Damn, that''s some instinct he has... He must''ve been talking about me and the clone that took care of Orb. Orb must''ve bypassed his senses due to his unique physiology and powers being closely related to the Watcher''s kind if not I don''t understand how he got killed by a measly ''mortal'' then. Now that I''ve found his hideout, should go back to Attilan and take Kadlec''s power as the Seeker of Inhumans for the quest.) ¡ºClone¡»wiping his imaginary sweat on the forehead while hiding within the shadows of the abandoned Kree facility on the moon leaving the area and heading to the Inhuman settlement on the moon. --- KAMAR TAJ --- (He is coming...) ¡ºAncient One¡»murmurs as she slowly opens her eyes leaving the meditative trance from using the time stone. --- SOMEWHERE IN NEW YORK --- A man looking like a young 25 yo Leonardo Dicaprio in a Men in Black attire with sunglasses in the middle of the night knocking on a 1983 GMC Conversion Van parked discreetly with keyboard noises being produced within. *KNOCK* *KNOCK* *KNOCK* Upon hearing the knocks the noise quiet downs suddenly before the van doors slowly open with a young teenage girl around 21 yo that has brunette hair holding a bat behind her as she confronts the person who looks like a CIA agent wearing sunglasses in the dead of the night. "(Have they found me out already? This is too fast even for the CIA to catch on my trails and track me. Did they hire a hacker of a higher caliber than me to trace me? Shit, I''m not prepared to leave my van this soon...) Hi, good evening! How may I help you?¡ºSkye¡»as she panics but still shows an amicable smile while tightly gripping the baseball bat behind her thinking of how to escape her current situation. "Good evening Ms. Skye Johnson! Fret not as I''m no government agent... name is Jay Gatsby of Wayne Enterprise, here to offer you a job on our tech department as we have been aware of your exploits through the net recently." ¡ºJay(Clone)¡»introduces himself taking off his shades and giving a business card to Skye properly identifying himself and relieving the target of any worries with his charming smile. "W-wha...what are you talking about? Wait minute... Did you just say theee WAYNE ENTERPRISE is offering me a job?!" ¡ºSkye¡»taking the business card and blushing from the smile of her unexpected guest, while being shocked after processing what he just said. "Yes, and don''t worry about your living expenses as both with accommodation will be provided by us and any latest tech that you may require in your work. With a signing fee of $15,000 and starting a monthly wage of $100,000 upon starting, the rest of the details will be discussed further with HR if you have any other requests." ¡ºJay(Clone)¡»smiling cutely as he knows he already hooked her. "With that, I bid you goodbye to think about our offer. You can call my number if you choose to refuse the offer or just head to the HQ once you have made up your mind to join us. Once again Goodnight Ms. Skye and have a wonderful evening." ¡ºJay(Clone)¡»throwing the line. Shaking the hand of the frozen, blushing, and speechless Skye Johnson then slowly putting on back the shades turning around to walk away slowly to his black Chevrolet Impala. Still processing what the hell is happening and having a roller coaster ride of emotions from being shocked at how she thought the government found her only to be relieved that it''s just someone from the Wayne Ent. then embarrassed at how the guy in front her is so handsomely cute with that smile, then shocked again at how she was offered by a legitimate job but afraid again at how they knew what she has been up to recently. (15k as signing fee and 100k monthly wage and that is just the starting salary!! WTF! How did they know what had I been doing recently though?? Forget that! It''s my once in a lifetime opportunity to change my current lifestyle and they also have one of the latest tech available. It''s about time to move up from second-hand things!) ¡ºSkye¡» her mind conflicted at first but then being resolute to take the offered hand, noticing Jay about to leave in his Impala she jumps out of her van to stop him from leaving. "WAIT!!! I ACCEPT! I ACCEPT! Don''t leave!!!" ¡ºSkye¡» running across the parking lot to stop the guy from leaving. Forgetting his last statement where she could''ve just called him or headed to the HQ to sign-up. "Calm down Ms. Johnson... As I said you could take the time to ponder about the offer and just call me through the business card or you could have just gone to the HQ to confirm your application. Or do you want to come with me to the HQ to finalize everything and stay the night at your provided accommodation instead of sleeping in your van tonight?"¡ºJay(Clone)¡»smiling ear to ear knowing she got her at the classic hook-line-sinker technique. *Pant* *Pant* "(You said that? I must have frozen from shock about the offer and tuned out the rest.) Y-yes... YES PLEASE! I will just follow you with my van to the HQ instead of leaving here out of nowhere and coming back later." ¡ºSkye¡»blushing being embarrassed at the blunder she made but reluctant to let go of her first private home after leaving the orphanage and the Poots family. "That''ll be for the best."¡ºJay(Clone)¡»upon which they both headed to the Wayne HQ to finalize her documents. Upon which he receives the notification of quest completion through the system after they left the HQ to drop her off in the Staff''s accommodation that is the mansion above the Batcave. --- SOMEWHERE IN LONDON --- (Hmm, this should be the place. It matches the abandoned warehouse from the movie... Though it''s still years before the Convergence I can break through using the [Speed Force] just like the boss thought as the barrier between dimensions here are slowly breaking down in preparation of the Convergence.)¡ºClone¡» Upon arriving at the specific location within the abandoned warehouse that has the thinnest barrier, he vibrates his whole body with varying frequency to breakthrough, which he did after a few unsuccessful attempts. Opening his eyes and noticing the unfamiliar scenery around him, he confirms he was successful at last and finally seeing the huge square pillar in front of him that contains the Aether (Reality Stone). "Finally time to collect the good stuff, I just need to send it to Augur to be scanned quickly and place the counterfeit before the fucking dark elves awaken ahead of time." ¡ºClone¡»putting his hand through the gap in the pillar and absorbing the Aether then converting it to Card within the mind space that is then quickly sent to Augur. "Analyzing Aether''s properties..." ---\u003e Complete! "Producing counterfeit..." ---\u003e Complete! Sent to clone J36. Placing his hand back and releasing the counterfeit Aether on the gap between the pillar that has enough energy to last till Infinity war only for it to disappear before Thanos'' Snap. The clone smiles wickedly as he can''t wait to see the look on Thanos'' face once that happens before releasing himself and disappearing in thin air. 18 Fury Bloodline 2,555 words Waking up feeling refreshed the next morning, John checked the time through the system interface then went to the bathroom to wash up before heading down to have breakfast with the rest of the family not before speed-reading all the updates his clone and Augur''s progress on different projects. "Nice already got one of them stupid stones already. Ooh, Skye is already working hard huh.. Looks like Dr. Maya need to go to therapy after what she''d been through, Augur make sure that''s been properly handled don''t want her breaking down now after rescuing her."¡ºJohn¡» already making plans and contingencies on the trouble ahead of acquiring Quake and messing with the timelines this early. "Noted, sir. By the way, it''s about time you meet with the Ancient One sir as you''ve made multiple changes already in the timeline in regards to your clones clean-up operation..."¡ºAugur¡» stating the most obvious that his host always seems to look over. "Ahh, shit! That''s true, as I''ve killed off most troublesome villains and put some to the think tank where they can''t die and do anything but think of ideas, improvements and solve problems."¡ºJohn¡»replied with a ruined mood by being splashed of cold water from his partner. "There is also the meeting with your expected ''Uncle'' to help you with your ''cause'' today sir, do keep that in mind to be prepared once you meet him"¡ºAugur¡»splashing another bucket waking him from his musings again. "Goddammit! Is it really so hard to get a breather here in the Marvel-verse, everyone is literally out to get you. God, how I miss where my only problems were how to live decently and not fighting to survive."¡ºJohn¡»recalling his past life, that now feels like just a dream life compared to having powers. Upon reaching the dining area, he stops by the door as he now notices the stranger looking over the family portraits by the adjacent wall. Wearing an all-black outfit starting from the eye-patch on his left eye, black leather trench coat, tactical fleece jacket (weaved from kevlar-based from the patterns), same as the pants with a hidden pistol holster on his right leg (no gun in it, courtesy of mom I guess), finishing up with shin-high combat boots. The one and only NICK FURY looking like a badass Samuel L. Jackson of the MCU, who is now looking back at him, eyeing him head to toe then going around him as if checking out merchandise like a car looking at every angle to make sure your not making a mistake on purchasing the wrong one. "Well, I''ll be damned. I can''t believe my nephew is this tall already. You sure you a 17-year-old? Last I held you, you were but a peanut compared to your size now... Are you ok son?"¡ºNick¡»hugging the frozen John after looking him thoroughly asking worriedly, little did he know that his ''Nephew'' is already searching his memories to find his answer to the black/white Fury dilemma. "Y-yeah... I''m cool.. cool, co-cool, cool, it''s just that I can''t believe my uncle is ''the'' Nick Fury director of Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement, and Logistics Division also known for short as SHIELD. Nice to meet you, UNCLE!"¡ºJohn¡»reciprocating the hug back with a little bit of strength lifting him off the ground without breaking sweat shocking Nick upon outing his secret identity and at his strength, upon finally getting the answer he wanted from the memory search. "Did Janeth told you that? I swear, she''s gonna be one of the reasons I''ll die if not by her hand directly."¡ºNick¡»still can''t believe he got manhandled easily by a kid no less. As they sat in the dining table sipping on his coffee only for him to do a spit-out-scene from what his nephew''s reply. "Nah mom barely talked about her side of the fam if not nothing at all didn''t even know you were related to me til now. I hacked your servers back when I was just 10, you really need to work on your firewalls."¡ºJohn¡»giving out a smirk watching his uncle spit out the coffee he just sipped. "You did what now? When you were 10?"¡ºNick¡»still shook to the core that their systems got hacked by a 10-year-old kid under their nose without even seeing his shadow as he got in and out with one of the most fortified systems around the globe. Before they got any further, the doors opened like the rest of the family streamed in to have breakfast altogether with his little brother running around before being picked up by his dad to be placed in his baby seat in between his parents with nothing but a death glare to give to his nephew he composed himself quickly from the surprises he got. "I see you are already acquainted with each other, let''s have a meal first before you both start your discussion and do that after the meal in the study room." ¡ºJaneth¡»picking up a napkin before placing at her lap, as the refined woman she is before everyone copied her except lil Steine who still has a toddler bib. After the meal, John headed out to the study room with his little brother waiting for his uncle upon which he played "Omae wa mou(deadman)" the remix of Tiny Little Adiantum on the piano to clear up his head and prepare his real talk to his uncle with his little brother dancing cutely along with the music like the memes as he taught him. The memory he got from the interaction earlier cleared most of the doubts he had regarding the version of Nick Fury of this Marvel-verse and his mother''s relationship and the bloodline included which he guess his little brother now has too. Nick Fury of this verse had originally been a white man with a weathered face and prematurely graying hair and an eye patch over an eye he had lost to shrapnel during the war, therefore, clearing up Jake''s and Dawn''s existence. Now he was a slightly taller black man with no hair (that part had actually bothered him more than all the rest surprisingly), but the eye-patch remained the same due to it being scratched later on by Carol Danver''s cat (Flerken) just like the MCU. His personality(soul) had been transferred into his new body when he had been captured by one of his old enemies (now dead) and had his mind replaced by one of the enemy''s minions. It had backfired first because Fury had set up several passwords with his men, most notably his best-friend/second in command Duggan, which no one else knew. Duggan had then tried to capture the double. The second thing that went wrong was when Fury had escaped from where he had been placed, breaking the mind control that should have kept him as a zombie, able to watch but not do anything. Unfortunately, his old body had killed itself rather than be captured. The upshot of this adventure was instead of having his reputation ruined or SHIELD assets subverted. Nick had come out of it with his reputation enhanced and a new, somewhat younger body (that is related to John''s mother). Duggan''s performance also gave him the ability to override the higher-ups on who should be his second in command. Wherein later was seriously wounded in France during the war. He was saved in part due to Professor Sternberg''s Infinity Formula that my mother received through a blood transfusion. When she was critically injured on her mission as an ex-SHIELD agent, when they ran her DNA through the system to find a match for the donor and surprise surprise, the match is the new body Nick Fury currently resides in explaining the Forever Compound running in my veins. Though there was a misunderstanding with me and Sharon Carter when she was placed on me, she took the order given to her the other way around when she was just supposed to be doing surveillance and protection in case my alter egos target me. Showing his responsibility to his new body''s family, though it his fault for being vague about our relationship when he gave the order and now he lost her to John. Reaching the end of the music as if on cue Nick comes in the study room with his mom taking away his brother so they can have a private discussion. "You know I was just here because your mother insisted as I needed to meet your younger brother as I missed a lot of both of your birthdays already if not she will come after my ass. But didn''t expect that I was in for a surprise this morning, she said you had something important to discuss with me regarding your ''company''? Is it about the one I planted?"¡ºNick¡»striding in before sitting comfortably by the couch in the middle of the room. "Yeah, she can be really scary when angered. But no, I noticed her when she applied as my secretary and knew who she really was even before accepting her. I guess mom didn''t mention anything about the issue to you or do I have to explain it again?"¡ºJohn¡»closing the piano before sitting on the couch across his uncle. "Elaborate..."¡ºNick¡» shifting to his serious look as he feels the tension in the air building up. "I want to get one thing that is under your care, uncle, to experiment on in a few days before giving it back. In exchange, I will give you info on the hydra moles inside SHIELD and government, upgrade your systems to a better standard, and lastly give you some of the latest techs I have on hand." ¡ºJohn¡» Smirking throwing the hook to his uncle for his play on the Space stone that he is guarding himself, showing the advance tech on his smart-bracer with a hologram of the Tesseract along with the blurred photographs of Hydra agents on SHIELD. "That''s quite a bargain your asking for, but to be honest I''m quite tempted... but that''s not enough for an offer as you still have a prior offense with your confession earlier of hacking a government secured facility. You''re lucky I''m not arresting you ass young man."¡ºNick¡»keeping his poker face while massaging his chin with his index and thumb finger checking out the smart-bracer. Gaining a vein popping in the forehead of his nephew after his last statement. "Well then, I apologize as I wasn''t quite learned of the law back then. I will add a UMF suit with your custom smart-bracer that has multiple life-saving functions as an apology gift that''s the final offer. Take it or leave it.."¡ºJohn¡»showing off the UMFs changing from one clothe to the next in the hologram and a summary of its uses. Showing an irritated smile outside making it look like he is making a loss already though sneering inside. "Hmmm... interesting. Fine though I feel you''re still being stingy with yo uncle but that should be enough, I will only give you 3 days and you have to come to HQ where you''ll conduct the experiment as I don''t want the item to leave out of my sight. Am I clear?" ¡ºNick¡»hiding the fascination and surprise upon knowing his nephew are leaps ahead in the tech even for his standards which is a compliment as he already faced alien tech with Captain Marvel back in the days. "Deal! I''ll have the wares sent to your specific location just sent it through the smart-bracer and do the system upgrade once I go to the HQ. Though I advise you not to reverse engineer my techs as they are built to blow up a couple of blocks if it''s even attempted, U.N.C.L.E."¡ºJohn¡»noticing him flinch at his enunciation on the last statement as he expected what he''ll do upon receiving the items. Throwing the basic prototype of UMF to his uncle which he fakely took from a drawer (inventory) produced while he was asleep last night. Nick, catching it like a brand new cellphone afraid to even let it touch the ground before putting it at his right wrist. With John taking the controls, producing nanites that surrounded Fury''s body from the neck down scanning his current outfit absorbing it within its clothes data banks. Then inputting a command to change into formal suit composed of a black tuxedo, slacks, and shoes like Raven''s scale-changing when she morphs to different people starting from the neck down to the feet. Pulling out a gun from the same drawer (inventory) then shot Nick Fury twice in the chest quickly while he was still fascinated by the UMF making him jump to his feet and putting his hand to his right feet holster recalling there is no gun there. "WTF is wrong with you?!"¡ºNick¡»yells as he was mad his nephew tried to shoot him. "Nothing, just proving how lifesaver the one I gave you is and its worth. So how was it? Did it hurt?" ¡ºJohn¡»smiling evilly, knowing his prank succeeded, hiding the gun back. Knowing no one heard the shots fired as he sealed the room and hid it again within another dimension. "(This family is EVIL! Trying to kill me already at this age...) I guess it is worth it as I recall it only felt like someone''s finger tapping my chest lightly. Though it''s still unforgivable how you tried to shoot your uncle like that so I''ll reduce your days to 2 as punishment! (It''s a shame we can''t reverse engineer his techs as he is more paranoid than me. I guess that''s what I passed on to him as his uncle.)" ¡ºNick¡»touches his chest noticing his clothes are still fine without a scratch and the bullets below his feet not forgetting to scold his nephew of what happened. "(More than obliged, don''t want to play the fool a day more once I get my hands on it. Heh, I''ll give it back alright though it will be a counterfeit. Hehe). Sorry uncle, but its the fastest way to prove its function so you won''t have any doubts. Anyways that finishes things up here, I''ll contact you through the bracer as it also functions as a phone, just tap your phone against it to transfer your files. Though remember its DNA bound to you, so even if you lose it, it will just appear as a normal accessory to the layman and won''t activate."¡ºJohn¡»standing up, headed for the exit as he has more things to do for the day. Finally figuring out how to change wardrobe and scan clothes with the smart-bracer, he is more than happy to go back to his office and explore more of its functions back at his office, not before forgetting to spend a little time with little Steine and giving him a remote-controlled toy for missing his birthday. 19 Ancient One 2,311 words Finally finished his dealings with his mother''s side of the family, he exited the mansion ahead of Fury to go to his next meeting not forgetting to leave clone that left through a car. Flying straight ahead to Mystic Arts New York Sanctum at 177A Bleecker Street, seeing that iconic basketball symbol on its rooftop he lightly landed on its front door before knocking. Upon which he was greeted by Daniel Drumm the previous master of the New York Sanctum before he was killed by Kaecillius and replaced by Dr. Strange. ¡ºDaniel¡»"The Ancient One (AO) has been expecting you." Leading his first one and only guest in the past few years inside the sanctum. ¡ºJohn¡»"I bet she does..." Proceeding inside and remembering how the AO abuses the usage of Time-stone even for basic conversation, making him think to use his own [Time Force] to do the same but forgetting about it, as he doesn''t want his meeting with AO to be spoiled. Once John entered, Daniel went and created a portal from their Eldritch Magic that is connected to Kamar Taj as they headed straight to AO''s quarters the same place from the movie where Strange met her. ¡ºAO¡»"It is finally time to put a face on the name, oh ''fateless one''. Leave us alone, please. Please, take a seat. Would you like a cup of tea, mister?" As she waves her hand signaling everyone else in the room to leave except AO and John. Not before she moves both of them to the mirror dimension to continue. Making sure that they are both in a comfortable sitting position, John had a shocked expression as he nodded speechlessly only managing to speak after taking a sip from the tea AO served him. ¡ºJohn¡»"Ahh, yes.. sorry... Name''s Markly John Wayne of Wayne Enterprise, you can just call me John. I''m sure you''ve heard of, and what should I call you? Ancient One? Yao? or Sorcerer Supreme?" John shook her hand, still not sure why the AO doesn''t know of him tries to take advantage of her while still trying to sort out the possibilities in his head. AO still wearing poker face at the mention of her real name, which is probably trained for hundreds of years. ¡ºAO¡»"Yao would be preferable, as Ancient One or Sorcerer Supreme is too long and AO is too modern for me..." Yao replies while taking a sip of tea and assessing his guest from head to toe. Still confused at how the conversation is just casual and not very informative according to his expectations John went straight to the point. ¡ºJohn¡»" I''m sorry for being blunt, this isn''t how I expected our conversation would be like. I thought it''d be more like, you being more initiative, as I expected, you have watched our possible conversation through the Time-stone prior to meeting me..." ¡ºYao¡»"Ahh, yes.. that... Though I frequently do such a thing, I''m sad to say that I can''t do the same to some unique cases such as yourself being a ''Fateless One'' or to proper term it ''Traveler of Multiverse''." Gaining a wide eye and O-shaped mouth from her guest, Yao can''t help it but let out a smirk. John shocked, though he expected something like this from the End Game movie, still can''t stop his emotions going out as he downed his refilled tea. ¡ºJohn¡»"I see... Though I expected it, care to elaborate please?" ¡ºYao¡»"As I believe you already know, I have on my person, one of the Infinity Stones the Time-stone within the Eye of Agamotto. And with the help of our Eldritch Magic that draws powers from the different dimensions within and of the Multiverse, I am able to see and connect with my other versions in different Timelines and Universes that I use to see the future possibilities though it''s mostly peering through their eyes." ¡ºJohn¡»(Should''ve guessed the relation about those two things... clues about it being possible to do were already mentioned even in the movie of Doctor Strange.) ¡ºYao¡»"Upon which, my alternate selves found unique beings that don''t originate or belong in our/their cosmos. Bearing unique sets of abilities and unknown physiology, knowledge of detailed future some even when they are but just a baby and technologies out of their reach, some making drastic changes in the timeline but doesn''t produce a branching timeline out of the changes." ¡ºJohn¡»(Goddammit! Fucking reincarnators and transmigrators, forgot that me and my friends(past life) went through the same thing and it''s not impossible for others too. Even Truck-kun mentioned before, him finishing his quota of deliveries. Should make preparations in case I meet one of them that is able to bypass Truck-kun''s blessings.) ¡ºYao¡»"Wherein as of late, I try using such method to peer into the future within our current cosmos, there is a fog that is slowly encompassing heroes of future such as Mr. Peter Parker, Jean Gray and furthermore my supposed future that I can''t look past before is not blank anymore but just dark gray fog." ¡ºJohn¡»(She must be talking about the scene where Strange is trying to save her in the hospital and had a talk in the Astral Dimension) ¡ºYao¡»"That''s when I decided to compare the current developments within the planet with my other-selves. Though some timelines there exists a Wayne Enterprise, some do not have, there is a consistency among them..." ¡ºYao¡»"Their names Martha, Thomas, and their son Bruce Wayne whereas when I had Mordo check your family, lo and behold, you have a different set of names except for the Wayne surname." ¡ºJohn¡»(Well shit! I fucking bet that''s Truck-kun''s idea on messing with this universe for me annoying him). ¡ºYao¡»"I concluded you were one of those unique ''Travelers'', for whenever I try to peer through your future and those close to you I''m blocked with the same fog I mentioned earlier. Does that answer satisfy you, John? If so, to what do I owe this visit of yours? Are you after the stone I''m guarding like many who seeks power?" Slowly sipping the tea she has to wet the parched throat from explaining the current situation while giving a glare after the last sentence wordlessly saying she''s willing to fight it out if John doesn''t explain himself. Taking a moment to process the information he just received while slowly drinking tea, he feels like Yao the Ancient One is still holding out some important details regarding what she knew of him and the ''Traveler'' stuff. ¡ºJohn¡»SIGH "That''s good enough explanation thanks. It''s not that I''m not willing to disclose our origin, it is more of we are forbidden to even mention any details regarding our type of existence." ¡ºJohn¡»(Lol, it''s more like the unwritten rule of all reincarnators, and transmigrators to not even disclose it and treat it as a secret to be brought to our graves.) ¡ºJohn¡»" Regarding the reason for my visit, though you are half correct that I''m after your Infinity Stone too, it is not like I want to keep it to myself (smirk inside) I just want to borrow it for a while to research it." ¡ºJohn¡»"You can even watch me by the side doing the research if that reassures you. As for the other, I want to learn the Mystic Arts offered by Kamar Taj." ¡ºYao¡»"I understand, I''m familiar with such circumstances as I saw common situations in other timelines. Most of what I said earlier was based on a guess from my other-selves and confirmation through the other ''Travelers'' reactions that also came to learn Mystic Arts." ¡ºYao¡»"I''m willing to teach you our ways in some condition, though before we discuss that I also have some questions for you. Don''t worry, it''s not about your origins it''s more about what do you know of our current cosmos." ¡ºJohn¡»"Ahh, if it''s like that then I will answer to the best I could offer. I also want to learn more about your knowledge of the matter." They debated back and forth for quite some time on what they know of the Marvel-verse they reside in. Comparing the differences in what they knew such as John''s MCU and 616 knowledge, while Yao''s current knowledge on what exactly happened in a specific event that led to some of DC universe'' inclusion. After their discussion, they went and settled the conditions Yao placed in exchange for learning the Mystic Arts and research of the Time-stone. Wherein John also placed a condition that Yao and the whole of Kamar Taj will be a part of his nation once he finishes building it. Seeing as the sun is almost down, John excused himself early not forgetting to leave a clone behind to start learning from the Ancient One of the Mystic Arts. He didn''t go through the door leading back to the New York Sanctum as he wanted to fly back and clear his thoughts on what he gained from meeting Yao. Flying in supersonic speed back to New York, he can''t help having a sour face thinking of that one condition Yao gave him, "... Last but not the least, please, DON''T ABANDON EARTH". She stated that condition. as some of the ''Travelers'' she saw through her other-selves, that went a different path due to some conflicts they had while living in Earth of their cosmos, caused their universe/planet to break to ''move on'' for they have nothing else. An example was one ''Traveler'' had his entire family, friends, and loved ones wiped by the Shi''ar Empire when he thought he could face them through sheer force with otherworldly abilities. With his arrogance getting the better of him, he didn''t notice letting some slip away to take care of those important to him and when he came back to celebrate his achievement of conquering the Empire, he had no one left therefore he collected the stones himself ahead of Thanos and destroyed the Universe with it. ¡ºJohn¡»(Retarded motherfucker, he could''ve just reality warped if not time traveled himself before his closed one''s died. No need to end everything else, and waste time reincarnating/transmigrating again.) ¡ºAugur¡»(I believe based on the wuxia and other novels you have read sir that I quote ''he was blinded by rage and revenge'' at the shock of suddenly losing those he held dear.) ¡ºJohn¡»(...) ¡ºJohn¡»(I guess so, that reminds me, I''m ordering you to calm me down whatever it takes if I have moments like that being blinded by emotion and unable to think things through.) ¡ºAugur¡»(Noted, Sir.) ¡ºJohn¡»(Well, all things considered, I''m already 3 stones down and 3 stones left.) ¡ºAugur¡»(Actually sir, technically it''s still 1 stone-...) ¡ºJohn¡»(Shut it, I''m speaking metaphorically.

[A/N: courtesy of ''Comicfanboy''] As Skyforge fitted the criteria much better regarding Galactic wars, Superpowers and Empire stuff that greatly fits his needs regarding what John expects of his army. Who apparently is still shocked at how he now knew he was still underestimating future technological advancements of the Aliens and Earth from Nimrod''s timeline. What broke his musings was when Augur reminded him that they reached his destination, Project PEGASUS Facility that will be wrecked from the Tesseract in a few years. Getting off the car, he was greeted by THE man he was thinking of poaching from his Uncle. ¡ºAgent¡»"Good Morning Mr. Wayne. The Director has been expecting you." ¡ºJohn¡»"Ahh, no need for formalities. Mr. Wayne is my father, just call me John if you will Agent Coulson." giving the man a hug surprising him from his actions, making him tense as he thought he was compromised. ¡ºJohn¡»"Don''t be so tense man! My uncle mentioned you quite a lot, heard you got them Captain America trading cards, nearly minted to BOOT! Can I take a peek?" Relaxing his tensed nerves, he was speechless to know that Director Fury has such a deep relationship with one of the top conglomerates in the globe the Wayne Enterprise. Though he got distracted at the mention of one of his collections. ¡ºPhil¡»"Oh, I see... Then you can just call me Phil too, I might show it to you after your research on the ''stuff''. Did uhh-.. did your uncle mention anything more about me?" ¡ºJohn¡»"Haha, nothing much except for your hobbies. Don''t worry we got two days to get to know each other I bet he assigned you to watch me, aaaaand as I can guess from the look on your face that Uncle Nicky didn''t mention our relationship. Am I right?" ¡ºPhil¡»"In my defense.. I''m guessing, I might not have enough clearance to read the file regarding the matter." Feeling a little bit down as he still doesn''t know much about the man, after all, they''ve been through. ¡ºJohn¡»"True, he does that. He''s a spy, Agent, he is THE SPY greater than 007 where his secrets HAVE secrets." Grinning ear to ear as he managed to pull out Tony''s line with a couple of tweaks and comfort Coulson a little bit. Upon which John managed to change the topic back to Coulson''s collection, where he got very talkative at founding someone willing to listen about the stories behind each item with John reacting smartly at each pause with a: nod, ''ooh'', ''Woah'', and such. ¡ºNick¡»"I see both of you are getting along just fine. Now Markly, play nice and behave for two days ok! Coulson here is my ONE GOOD EYE, so he will be with you for the duration as I still have stuff to do. Am I understood MARKLY?" Enunciating his nephew''s first name noticing from his file on him that he always suggests people call him by the second name, guessing he can annoy his nephew with it. Now seeing it work he can''t help but show a grin thinking he one-upped his nephew this time, little did he know... his prized power source will be switched with a counterfeit. ¡ºJohn¡»"Crystal clear, uncle! Guess should get started on it then!" With a little vein showing on his forehead as he got ticked being called on his first name, though calming back down thinking that he''ll be swapping the Tesseract later and just hang out with Coulson later before he poaches him in the future. Finishing the conversation with his own evil grin. Now seeing the Tesseract right in front of him ripe for the taking, he waited when it''s just him and Phil in the lab before he started the heist. Which consisted of him, stealthily separating the room they are inside the mirror dimension to avoid recording devices. Went ''Flash'' slowed time, sent the Tesseract inside Mind Palace to be scanned by Augur. Made counterfeit, placed it back in the table, creating a clone to continue ''researching act'' and interact with Coulson before blinking back home at the front door, with his clone left behind returning everything back to normal. --- Wayne Mansion --- ¡ºJohn¡»(Well that was Anti-climactic... YAWN I should catch up on some more sleep before I go to another venture, as everyone still thinks I''m with Uncle Nicky.) Blinking back to his room, falling dead asleep as soon as he lays down on his bed. Unknown to him, his actions are being watched closely already by none other than the Yao hiding within the Mirror Dimension. Not forgetting to command Augur to swap the incomplete Transers he provided everyone close to him with the newly produced ones equipped with more life-saving functionalities before he succumbs to his eternal bae, his BED. ¡ºYao¡»(Hmm... I don''t know how or why he has divinity, though it''s small, it is growing.. I have checked his parents, brother, even his uncle Nick Fury. They don''t seem to descend from any line of either Asgardian''s or Olympian''s bloodline... Then I can only guess he is following some kind of the lost cultivation techniques in the East, the practitioners of going against the heavens. Either he found/looked for a manual, legacy, inheritance, or someone alive to this day and age to teach him. I should check out the members of his staff.) Leaving the mansion''s mirror dimension in her astral form, she bent the area through her will with the help of energy from the Dark Dimension as she went and investigated the staff of Wayne Ent.. Especially the Ry¨­zanpaku masters, and seeing that no one of them fit the bill. She went for the last plan she had in mind... . . . Politely asking John about the matter once he wakes up. 21 Cultivation 2,315 words She didn''t wait long in the living room as John woke up through Augur''s alarm that Norman Osborn, injected with the flawed OZ serum is about to make his debut fight with Peter. ¡ºAugur¡»(Sir, Yao is waiting in the living room. What would you like me to do?) ¡ºJohn¡»(Hmm? What for? Guess I''ll bring her along to watch the fight then.) After waking up, he washed up before meeting up with Yao and headed to the place where the fight is about to happen. On the way, he changed to his Engima ensemble, and the two of them discussed the progress the clone have on learning the Mystic Arts where Yao mentions she got nothing more to teach him. He wasn''t particularly surprised by the news as all the mental abilities that buffed his cognitive functions to learning even without the help of CPH4 from the Meta-formula is already enough to study Hogwarts full 7-year curriculum and ace all exams. The only reason that it isn''t dispersing yet is that his clone his busy upgrading/optimizing the spells he learned for much easier casting, while also increasing the combat abilities of everyone inside Kamar-Taj through DBZ mana manipulation. While they are busy talking, his mind with the help of parallel thinking is busy finding out what made the creation of Green Goblin months ahead of what he has in mind. Reading his host concern Augur went ahead and looked at the issue from Osborn''s Company. And it looks like the source of the issue is related to him, of course, no surprise there. There is bound to be a huge butterfly ripple effect with his deeds the past couple of weeks. With his enterprise rise, Norman''s company wasn''t able to keep up with his, therefore, crashing it stock where his Board of Directors went ahead and fired him early for not managing it properly and focusing on his tinkerings. Being used to a wealthy lifestyle and treatment of the king, he got impatient and injected the flawed serum to seek vengeance by assassinating Oscorp''s board. That while he was sleeping the killing spree already started and with Peter, with his police radio got the news and pieced two and two together with his great mind to find the pattern. ¡ª Spider-Man POV ¡ª Now camping in front of one of the few surviving members'' house, Peter heard something he didn''t expect from the gossiping security guards (SG). ¡ºSG 1¡»" I feel bad for that Oscorp kid." ¡ºSG 2¡» "Why? It''s not like you know the guy. I heard from the news that he was spoiled by his father since young." ¡ºSG 1¡»" Still it doesn''t feel right to make him a puppet by our boss you know. I have a son of his age." ¡ºSG 2¡»" So what? I bet the kid never even knew how to struggle living like us who had to scratch the ground just to get a job to feed our families. I bet it''s just his karma for being the prodigal son of a heartless billionaire." ¡ºSG 2¡»" So I''m guessing he won''t even put up a fight when our boss pressures him to either quit his current lifestyle or be a puppet leader for OSCORP.¨C" Not even willing to hear the rest of the conversation, Peter in his new UMF Spider-suit he just received earlier, high tailed towards the Osborn Mansion now knowing he screwed up and waited at the wrong place. ¡ºPeter¡»"Shit, shit, shit! I hope I can make it on time! Though Harry was a prick he still doesn''t deserve to die!" ¡ª Osborn Mansion ¡ª The two still gossiping within the Mirror Dimension, as they watch the carnage happening currently waiting for the protagonist to arrive fashionably late as always reached the topic Yao wanted to discuss. Seeing as they have time before the climax, John focused on the topic on hand as it correlates to his powers cultivation. ¡ºYao¡»" I have been meaning to ask¡­" ¡ºYao¡»"Are you practicing the long lost art immortal cultivation from the east? For I can feel a little bit of divinity coming from you, it''s different from Asgardians, Olympians, nor any gods I have met." ¡ºJohn¡»"Long lost art? Immortal cultivation from the east?" ¡ºJohn¡»"Hmm¡­. hard to say, it''s kinda alike but different at the same time. Does that make sense? Well, in short, you can think of it as part of the package being a traveler." ¡ºJohn¡»(Though I''m cultivating both body and soul, it''s not going through the process of refining like those of wuxia novels following a cultivation technique gaining relative abilities from the said manual.) ¡ºYao¡»" I see.. I was worried for nothing then¡­" Giving a sigh not realizing she was holding her breath while anticipating the answer. She''s just getting used to again not knowing what the person is gonna say like how normal humans do. ¡ºJohn¡»" Though now that you mentioned it, why would you thought I was one of them and what happened to the cultivators for them to go extinct?" ¡ºYao¡»" Well I thought you were one as your divinity is slowly growing at an increasing pace unlike descendants of gods that stayed constant and it''s not really a closely guarded secret, in fact, if you use your time power to check their past or clones to investigate then you might know the reason." Following her advice closing his eyes, he ordered Augur to compile the record of the past into a movie to be played in his mind-space and just a few minutes into it he was already excited as it looks better than those Chinese movies adaptations. The first scenery was during the time when Earth was dominated by cultivators and dinosaurs like how they are described in Wuxia Novels and that it was abundant with flora and fauna of unknown descriptions nor origins. Where they can easily dominate a T-rex upon reaching the ?White? (Ascendant ¨C Intermediate) state if we go by the system''s terms. I digress. Still, it is a little bit surprising to see that humans'' evolution theory (though proven scientifically) started way back even before the dinosaur age. Fast forwarding the scenes through the help of [Speed Force] like Barry did when he tried to catch up on missed TV series and big movies. He got the information that he wanted. ¡ºJohn¡»( I see so that''s the origin of K''un-Lun, another leftover part or domain of the previous realities from omnipotent beings fights and of course humans try on changing the reality from them reality-warping abilities. And its immortal dragon an immortal cultivator who practiced dragon-related cultivation technique then underwent a qigong deviation got stuck in his dragon form since then. Maaan, and to think the reason for the meteor resetting Earth from dinosaur age was the gods doing to rid of them. I bet that they are just scared of retaliation those they deem as ants with the cultivator''s way of ''Going against the Heavens''. Especially those that followed the most used quote of the novels I read ''If you meet Buddha, kill Buddha. If you meet Gods/Demons, kill Gods/Demons.'' Though some of them managed to survive by going through the leftover domain and hiding it from the current Earth with the help of their protector ''Iron Fist''. Still, they got left alone as they don??t have any more cultivation manuals to level up that survived and the last cultivator is now a mindless dragon used to power up their guardian, therefore, they weren''t considered as a threat anymore. Now I understand Yao''s unnecessary worry. With my ''Divinity'' which I''m guessing is the use of [Force] constantly growing as I increase the states of my [Body] and [Soul] to contain such power. She mistook me for being one of the long-ago extinct immortal cultivators. Though I''m very different from them as I can use multiple types of [Forces] unlike them who are limited by one.) Now knowing the reason, he left his mind-space waking up from his stupor. He was shocked to have missed Spider-man''s first nemesis fight! ¡ºJohn¡»" Motherf*ck*r! (Didn''t know it still took a long time even though I watch it at ''Flash'' level.)" Shock at the curses John yelled out after opening his eyes, the Ancient One thought of the worst possible scenario and that John was unknowing practices the lost art. ¡ºYao¡»"What happened?" ¡ºJohn¡»"Oh, I''m sorry for being loud. It''s just that I missed Peter''s iconic fight¡­" ¡ºJohn¡»" And it''s not what you think. I''m not one of them, in fact, you could even consider the cultivators as my offshoot or spin-off." ¡ºYao¡»"Hoooohh¡­ I feel I might die earlier than planned with these pranks of yours." ¡ºJohn¡»(But I wasn''t even trying yet¡­) pouting at her misunderstanding. Looking at the scene in front of him, a wrecked Osborn Mansion, an exhausted Spider-man, one beaten to a pulp and passed out Green Goblin under him, a one dead Harry Osborn, and lots of corpse from just by the formal clothes should be the leftover Board members. Seeing Harry''s cold corpse, and Peter still hesitating to finish Norman. John decides to intervene leaving Yao within the Mirror Dimension not before releasing cleaner bots. To properly wipe away the webbing all around the scene, not forgetting clearing out the valuables within the mansion like hidden rooms and vaults while Augur takes care of the electronic assets destroying the techs and evidence. ¡ºJohn¡»" Aiyayay¡­ looks like I was too late to the party. You ok there Underoos?" With his hand filled with rage, resentment, anguish, and sadness still locked firmly on the unmasked Norman Osborn lying on the ground, Peter sent a death glare at the new guy who popped up out of nowhere. ¡ºPeter¡»" Jo¨C" ¡ºJohn¡»"It''s Enigma! It hasn''t been long and you already forgot¡­" Sending his own death glare with a heavy killing intent at Peter who almost spilled his true identity in front of his enemy shut up him before it was too late. ¡ºJohn¡»"Hmm¡­ guessing from the situation, the guy under you must''ve gone insane after being fired. Took revenge to those that fired him one by one, and seeing his final target together with his son, misunderstood the situation with his insane mind state that his son was the one behind it all just to get his position thereby killing him off too. Judging by the looks on your face, you were a step too late to save the son nor anyone else for that matter resulting in a rage-filled slug-fest with the guy. Though I didn''t see what actually happened, have I been right so far?" Speechless at his friend''s deduction of the sequence of events, all Peter managed to do was nod at his question gripping Norman''s neck tighter gaining a groan from him. ¡ºNorman¡»" Urghh.." ¡ºEnigma¡»" So? Why you still haven''t killed the guy yet?" asked while tilting his head slightly." ¡ºSpider-man¡»" I can''t do such a thing.. Though I want him dead for what he''s done. I can''t¡ª I just can''t. It doesn''t make me any different than them if I do that, WE are not ABOVE the LAW." ¡ºEnigma¡»"Tsk.. Oh pleasee.. Let''s say you hand him over to the police and have him judged by the law and put in a maximum prison facility. Do you think that with his strength, mind, and other hidden resources he won''t be able to escape? Do you think he won''t kill again? You trust that he will change after being in prison for a while? And can you live with the guilt that whoever he kills after he escapes are on your bloody hands for not killing him now?! WELL? CAN YOU?! WAKE THE HELL UP MAN! We are not in a wonderful fantasy world where you get what you wish for. Remember what this guy did! He even killed his own bloody son for fuck''s sake! What do you think he will do once he escapes prison? Of course, find the guy that placed him inside in the first place. Once he does, he will look for your weakness. Let''s say, for example, I don''t know¡­ YOUR FAMILY! When he finds them he will then plan meticulously as he did for them!" John pointing at the corpse around them specifically at Harry''s. With his best friend''s loud rant, every line he received was like hearing a huge gong sound reverberating by his ears waking him up to reality calming him down analyzing the situation. Remembering that the person in front of him has the ability to see the future that can''t be stopped, he feels that he must''ve arrived here to help him make his decision. SNAP! Upon which he made by snapping Norman''s neck, once John finished saying his piece. Removing his face mask quickly puking his guts out by the side after finishing the deed then passing out of exhaustion with John catching him before he hits the ground. ¡ºJohn¡»" I''m sorry for pushing you, mate. I had to do it¡­ Though still, I hope you don''t change so much and lose hope on others that quickly." Finished with everything, he blinks out of there after hearing the police, ambulance, and firemen heading their way bringing back Norman''s and Harry''s corpse to be properly disposed of, removing the option of any comebacks. 22 ARES 2,070 words Looking toward the DBZ looking healing chamber within the underground research center below the enterprise, John doesn''t know how to feel regarding the character breakthrough he just pushed Peter through. Feeling his mind overheating from the worries that his action brought to the current reality, he did what an over-thinker does to calm his mind. By being productive! So not wasting any more time, he left a clone behind then blinked to the open air space outside the building and flew at supersonic speed at the height between the Thermosphere and Mesosphere to avoid hitting planes. ¡ºJohn¡»"My PPRRREECCIIIOOOUUSSSSS" said in Golum''s voice. Upon bypassing the natural cloak and defenses of the island, he landed heavily on the ground creating a huge crater disrupting the beauty of nature untouched by humans or any other creature for that matter in a long time. ¡ºJohn¡»(Dammit! Did you at least record that hero landing Augur?) annoyed for not having an audience to rate his hero landing. ¡ºAugur¡»(Affirmative. Commencing Scan...) Closing his eyes, seconds later he activated his [Life Vision] and focused on feeling the heartbeat of the monster island focused on his hearing. . . . thump thump . . THUMP thump . . . THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP Opening his eyes wide, now having his sights locked on the main source/heart/brain of the island. He used his [Speed Force] to phase through the ground straight to its source. In front of him is a huge green colored shaped heart dangling under the roots of a huge tree which he passed by earlier that is bigger than a giant sequoia tree found in California''s Sequoia National Park. Feeling his headache getting worse the nearer he gets close to it, he knew it won''t go down without a fight. ¡ºJohn¡»(Krakoa... Augur is there really no other way to subdue it other than a mental fight?) ¡ºAugur¡»(According to your previous life knowledge sir, this monster has been disconnected to the world for far too long to improve it''s sentience. Therefore, there is no other option other than removing his primal sentience.) ¡ºJohn¡»(I see...) replied dryly preparing himself on his first telepathic showdown against it. Now finally an arms reach in front of the heart, he made himself comfortable then steeled himself and left his body through astral form diving inside the huge green heart ahead of him. --- Meanwhile Back in New York --- Dropping off Peter silently back to his bed after healing the surface wounds from the healing chamber, removing anything that will get Peter be questioned heavily if seen. DING! [Quest Achieved!] DING! [New Quest Received!] ¡ºClone¡»(Hmm... looks like boss will take a while trying to temper his astral capabilities. Welp, finally time to play around then! Muahahahaha!) Laughing evilly inside his head, thinking now that the original will be out in a few days/weeks/months he can finally take it easy and lounge around till then. With nothing to do, he went to the daycare his brother was staying at to play with him and have some bonding moments with the hyperactive kid. --- Daycare --- Arriving at the daycare while hidden in the shadows, the clone clearly sees his target with the usual hyperactive Steine making friends with other kids his age. While seeing the five kids of different racial features talking in a corner of the room, thinking kids planning on pulling out pranks at that age already. Well, of course, other than the trained little brother. Creeping in on their shadows, trying to check on what level their pranks are at, he hears a disturbing conversation. ¡ºK1¡»"Are we still too young? Why is everyone else still nice to each other?" ¡ºK2¡»"Father said we can already start using our powers..." ¡ºK3¡»"I think we are not the problem... It was working earlier before that guy arrived." ¡ºK4¡»"It''s that kid taking everyone''s attention, he has some kind of aura that cancels out ours." ???K5¡»"Should we take care of him?" ¡ºRest¡»"Agreed!" All of them looking at his little brother maliciously at the same time. Now clearly intrigued at how the conversation is going. He wanted to see what kind of people these kids are and maybe track the ''Father'' they mentioned, talking about powers and Steine''s aura. Waiting for a few hours, they finally managed to isolate his little brother from everyone else in the daycare. ¡ºSteine¡»"Hello! My name is Steine! Nice to meet you!" in a yell like voice with a jolly tone of meeting new friends. ¡ºK1-5¡»"Hello." replying at the same time while looking extremely menacing and moving closer to Steine than necessary. ¡ºK3¡»"He looks and feel like a human-" ¡ºK1¡»"But there is something else-" ¡ºK4¡»"Is he like us?" ¡ºK5¡»"No, he feels different." ¡ºK2¡»"Then we can just ask it out of him." ¡ºSteine¡»"What are you guys talking bout? Do you guys know manners? You usually introduce yourself back when meeting someone new." giving out a mischievous smile feeling these people are the one''s his brother told him to watch out for ''Bullies''. ¡ºK1-5¡»"He''s right. We five are brothers." ¡ºK1¡»"I''m called Brother Goat" while pushing Steine roughly. ¡ºK2¡»"Brother Rat." positioning himself to cover them from the child care worker sight. ¡ºK3¡»"Brother Scorpion" blocking Steine''s back. ¡ºK4¡»"Call me Adder" guarding his left. ¡ºK5¡»"and I''m Brother Spider." while going to his right. Saying out their identities, the system in the clones already searching the library regarding the information on them while slowly isolating the rest of the daycare just in case he has to interfere. ¡ºSteine¡»"You sure? Same father or mother? Or just super bff to treat each other like brothers?" tilting his head slightly showing his confusion at how they barely look like each other. "Is that really your names? Do your parents love you? Why would they name you like that?" "You guys need help? Cause I can tell my brother and maybe he can check out if you guys are being treated alright." again with the regular curious questions that make his ''Bullies'' pop a vein. ¡ºB-Goat¡»"What about you? Are you like us?" ¡ºSteine¡»"Me? I''m fine, I like my name. Like you? Heck no! I''m BETTER!" ¡ºB-Adder¡»"Then what are you?" ¡ºSteine¡»"I''m a PRANKSTER!" ¡ºK1-5¡»"Are you messing with us?!" SLAP! The clone doing a hard facepalm in the shadows letting out a chuckle. ¡ºSteine¡»"What? You asked if I''m like you, and I''m no ''Bully'' like you! Do you think surrounding me thinks you guys can handle me? Try it!" smiling wickedly knowing he is getting on their skin. ¡ºSteine¡»(Just a bit more and it will be considered ''Self-defense'') ¡ºB-Spider¡»"We are getting nowhere. Let''s just kick his ass!" throwing the first punch. Of course, being a part of Wayne''s family, he already has basic self-defense moves though he is just a five year old kid. Trained through physical activities that were treated as games back at the house. That being said, within a few minutes he got them down laying on their backs with a couple of moves later. ¡ºSteine¡»"See? I told you, I''m better than you!" with his hands on his hips and nose pointed at the sky of his victory. DING! Meanwhile, the clone finally received intel on the kids'' background that made him worry. (Search complete! Identities matching the target are known as the [Crow Children] sons of Olympian god of war, [Ares] from DCU) ¡ºC-John¡»"SHIT!" ¡ºB-Goat¡»"You-" ¡ºB-Scorpion¡»"will-" ¡ºB-Spider¡»"regret-" ¡ºB-Adder¡»"this!" ¡ºK1-5¡»"FATHER!" Of course with the typical finishing each other sentences, with their shout there was an additional person standing within the isolated corner of the daycare. ¡ºGuy¡»"My Children..." kneeling down looking at the kids down on the floor, then glaring at the one standing. ¡ºGuy¡»"Did you do this? Who are you? and WHAT-ARE-YOU?!" slowly nearing Steine. GULP! swallowing a mouthful of saliva at the sudden appearance of an adult, Steine knew this guy is like his brother so he did what they did... ¡ºSteine¡»"Heh think only you guys can do that? BROTHER!!!" yelling his lungs out for his brother''s rescue. ¡ºC-John¡»"What did you do this time, little brat?" popping out from the shadows of Steine. ¡ºK1-5¡»"NANI!?" ¡ºSteine¡»"Nothing... these guys were bullying me..." switching back to puppy eyes looking, adorable little brother. ¡ºC-John¡»"See, you heard the little guy. It was self-defense so why don''t we just leave it at that? The name is John M. Wayne btw." Giving out a hand to shake against the god with a body looking like Scott Adkins. The clone guessing that the won''t be showing as a zealot for Kaecilius later on then. ¡ºAres¡»"Divinity? You''re not Olympians, would have heard of you... Asguardians? No, you feel different. Cultivator?!" showing an intense glare against the new guy that popped out of nowhere like him. ¡ºC-John¡»"Ahh, don''t leave me, hanging dude. Do you even have manners? No wonder where they learned their attitudes." making the man opposite him pop a vein on his forehead. Hearing the familiar remark Steine let out a low chuckle while the kids slowly getting back up growls at what he said. ¡ºC-John¡»"And no, I''m not one of those extinct cultivators. Had that tested with Yao." pulling his hands back knowing he won''t be able to scan the god in front of him. ¡ºAres¡»"Ares, I see.. Though I don''t trust her, I''m guessing she won''t risk everyone else for another ''Reset''. Hmm.. I will collect this debt later on. Let''s go!" taking the hands of his kids they disappeared as quickly as he arrived. ¡ºC-John¡»"Ahh, what a waste. I guess he is still too weak after his fight with Diana..." letting out a sigh. ¡ºSteine¡»"Who was that? Is he like you? Does the ''Bullies'' have powers too?" again with curious nature of a kid. ¡ºC-John¡»"A god, no he is like an alien, and yes. Anyways well done earlier, already have a nemesis at this age! Though you still need to train a little bit more, to face them in the future." ¡ºSteine¡»"A GOD?! ALIENS?! THAT IS SO AWESOME!!!!!" jumping up and down upon learning about the people they just faced. ¡ºSteine¡»"Btw, where is my real brother? You are a clone right? Doesn''t matter that just means I got tons of brothers!" pouting at how his big brother didn''t show up instead of a clone, but then happy again. ¡ºC-John¡»"Hm.. He is under seclusion, pre-occupied for a while." a little bit shocked at how he was able to identify him quickly, guessing he got tips from their mother how to discern a clone from the original. ¡ºC-John¡»"Anyways, with him busy, we could play around while he is gone! Be happy little bro!" while he removed the barricade isolating the rest of the daycare and entering the front door. Putting the worries of going against the Olympian gods this early, leaving the search of Wonder Woman to other clones. Thinking that the aura the Crow Children felt on Steine was shards of divinity from the original. 23 Title at the End 1,676 words --- Feb Xth, 2010 --- John POV ¡ºMichael¡»"It''s already 2 months with the foundations thoroughly established, we can now begin start building the cities. I got to say, John, I''m beginning to feel like it going to look like Tomorrowland." ¡ºJohn¡»"Haha, is your standard so low? That one is mostly Cyberpunk like the one we are building is a combination of multiple punks including; Solar, Bio, Nano, and Elf punks." ¡ºMichael¡» "I see... Have you named the name for the country yet? and have you thought about the reaction of the UN or any other superpower countries?" showing his concern to his boss. ¡ºJohn¡»"Still deliberating... Though you don''t have to worry about the messed-up politics, leave that to the lawyers we have. What do you think about the Eidolons?" ¡ºMichael¡»"Pretty great actually, with their help and the futuristic machines you just released is speeding up the build-up process." ¡ºJohn¡»"Aight, how fast do you think we can start accommodating soon?" ¡ºMichael¡» "If that big ''World Tree'' keeps producing more Eidolons it will be around the middle of July we can open the borders." ¡ºJohn¡»"Nice! By the way, how come you didn''t go for the formula that gives/activates your powers and just the strengthening one?" ¡ºMichael¡»"Well just from observing you and your clones, I can see the hassle it brings. It is like learning how to walk again like a baby with an additional leg. With the amount of work you''re leaving me, I don''t think I will have enough time to work on it." ¡ºJohn¡»"Good point!" remarked as he walks back to the flower portal connected back to his base of operations. Oh, right time skip, another explanation about some terms such as Eidolon. After removing Krakoa''s sentience, I have managed to fuse it with: my Clone(Soul) - to bind it to me and place the Augur''s System within. Di''Allas(Creation, Time, Space Monoliths) - Creation responsible for creating bodies for Eidolons, Time for protecting the island from any alterations from the past, Space for protecting it from those who can teleport except the Space-stone. Lifestones (Moonstone, Power Prism, Godstone) - increasing the durability, defense mechanisms, and other abilities of the island. Siege Perilous - protects the island from reality warping powers changing the current universe. Gravitonium - able to control the increase and decrease the island''s gravitational pull. Zodiac Key - strengthening the creation powers of the Heart tree (biggest tree in the middle of the island. Terrigen Crystal - helps manage the Inhuman''s powers within the island. Crimson Gem of Cyttorak - giving the island and connecting it to the [Strength Force] to handle Avengers level fights. Life and Death Seeds - Taken from Apocalypse before he even grants them to his horsemen and creating the Twins. These stones will be responsible for creating new life within the island and granting evolutionary possibilities to those living within. Freedom ring - with Spider-man''s early opponents popping out, the clone manages to steal the ring from Curtis the supposed owner before him. It is a Cosmic Ring Shaped from a piece of a Cosmic Cube, the Cosmic Ring allows Curtis to warp reality within a limited radius. Ego''s Seed - granting celestial properties to the island preparing it in case a Celestial try to visit. Staff of One - was a magical object so powerful that, according to Tina Minoru, it made even the likes of Dormammu tremble.

Title: FILLORY 24 Agencies 4,487 words With everything in the plan going along smoothly, can''t help but think it is just the ''calm before the storm'' with my paranoid mind. Especially in the Marvel Universe that is combined with many others, I''m familiar with in my previous life, that I can''t help but think that the difficulty is raised by another level. See, how can you think of conquering the universe if you don''t even thoroughly know all the information on your home planet. Just like the famous quotation of Sun Tzu; ''If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.'' Therefore, before I go conquering other planets, dimensions, the universe, etc¡­ I should know every corner and inch of my current one before I go exploring elsewhere not until I''m sure that my loved ones are well protected and secure. That is why it is about time I set up the agencies required for such tasks as reconnaissance, intelligence network, security measures, etc¡­ creating my very own SHIELD of USA, and STRIKE of EU, while SPEAR for CHINA after [Battle of New York]. While I will be recreating an organization responsible for eliminating threats I deem to be nipped in the bud early before they get more nefarious in the future with the headaches they''ll be bringing with their power-up. Such as an example will be the ''League of Assassins'' with the ''Hand'' as the base for its ninjas, underworld connection, and combined with the features of ''High Table'' from John Wick''s universe. Upon which the council comprises 12 seats, with each seat often owned by a family. According to the wiki were held by the Russian Mafia, Cosa Nostra, Yakuza, Triads, and other mafias. But the one I will create will be instead composed of someone heading the branches of the seven continents, and five oceans responsible for covering the whole globe. Ding! [Conquer Quest Cleared!] As if right on cue I receive the update I have been waiting in my office for a long while now. It''s finally time to create a Ra''s al Ghul clone. Not wanting to bore anyone on the details regarding the quest, it''s basically the clones responsible for taking over organizations like ''The Hand'' killing the Fingers and Beast who is hiding behind its curtains to stop their apocalyptic plans. You know, the organizations with a name like ''Assassins Guild'' and ''Fisk Industries'' for example with their megalomaniac tendencies not that I''m guilty of¡­ Well, the reason the matter was handled this early was that these idiots agreed for a global evil organization meeting between underworld superpowers though of course the smart ones able to know a trap that it is didn''t join the event such as the ''Hellfire Club'' for example. Of course, it''s better to clean the house you''re living in before doing the front/back yard on cleaning day am I right? It''s not my fault and duty to stop retarded humans who feel like they can step on the global stage when they come to my doorstep now do I. ¡ºJohn¡»" Since the clones finished their objectives, Augur, begin by training the newly gained manpower through GEASS (Guild of Elite Army and Superhuman Spies) to sort them out on who will be in LION (League of Intelligence Overwatch Network) and CREED (Continental Rogue Evil Executioners of Demons)." ¡ºAugur¡»(Affirmative.) ¡ºJohn¡»"Be sure and double-check the magical binding contract they will sign before placing them to the branch they are most familiar with first, before cycling them around the globe." ¡ºAugur¡»(What about the ocean branches sir?) ¡ºJohn¡»" That one will have to wait, as the clones still don''t have enough info on the sea dwellers as of yet." ¡ºJohn¡»"Oh and since Zola''s AI has been reprogrammed to be under your care have him manage the network on GEASS and CREED. For LION''s manage it yourself first until ULTRON''s creation." ¡ºAugur¡»(Understood. What do you want to do about Nadia Pym sir?) ¡ºJohn¡»"Well, after we found her traces from cleaning out the Red Room do a check-up first if she reached the sterilization stage like Natasha before she managed to escape. After that don''t ask but feel out if she wants to reconnect to her family or not." ¡ºAugur¡»(As for the XIPHOS sir?) ¡ºJohn¡»"Hmm¡­ just build the foundations first, as we still have to wait for the guy who will be leading that to be near death in the future." ¡ºAugur¡»(Just in sire. The target''s in Paris are now ready to be contacted sir. Would you like to do the interview personally or the clone?) ¡ºJohn¡»"Those two finally met up? Guess it''s about time the little guy ditched the ''suit''. I will head out myself, as it finally times their canon finished or so I last remembered." Though I suspect it before, now it finally makes sense that the events happened a few years earlier than they were released as the protagonists match the age ¡ª Paris, Le Cafe Blanc ¡ª ¡ºGuy-1¡»"You know I should get an Oscar''s for the drama I played out at the morgue. Though it took a while to get in character, I still managed to make the G-man fell for the whole fiasco." Says the one balding 5''8 ft tall with large rimmed, anti-reflective tint eyeglasses to his colleague next to him who wears an expensive custom made suit with a black fedora hat on his head as they sat down on for a coffee. ¡ºGuy-2¡»"See, what''d I tell you? You were the most crucial part of the plan all along. Had you not been there by his side after my ''death'', he would''ve been onto my ass as soon as he realized we pulled a fast one on him." Not forgetting to stroke his friend''s ego for a job well done and flawless execution of the long con that lasted for a whole year. ¡ºGuy-1¡»"By the way, are you sure we should be giving him a clue on your whereabouts? You know he is like a stubborn bloodhound that will chase you to the ends of the planet just by getting a whiff of your scent¡­" taking a long sip of the freshly brewed coffee he ordered. ¡ºGuy-2¡»"He''ll get over it. Besides, he won''t be coming after me so soon as he will be busy taking care of junior, and his work as not just the guy sitting in charge but one who does fieldwork as well." replied while shaking the hand carrying the coffee slightly. ¡ºGuy-1¡»"Ohh, so you plan on stacking or filling up your fresh blank slate first so that he will have a lot of reason to chase after you again. You sure you wanna be back to wearing your favorite accessory so soon?" Replied as if he had an epiphany while he asks worriedly to his colleague towards the end of his sentence. When their conversation was interrupted by the one sitting next to their table. ¡ºJohn¡»"I think your friend here is just homesick. Ah, where are my manners¡­ I''m sorry to name is John-"standing up from his seat walking to them and interrupted the two but was also interjected halfway raising his right arm before he could introduce himself. ¡ºGuy-2¡»"Mr. John M. Wayne of Wayne Ent. Nice to meet you." shaking the half-raised hand while placing his left above the wrist of the one he is shaking to show his enthusiasm upon meeting a celebrity. ¡ºJohn¡»"Goodmorning gents! I see that my reputation precedes me even here. May I?" shaking back firmly before asking to sit with the two. ¡ºGuy-1¡»"Gladly! Please take a seat. Let me help you. Can I have your autograph?" trying to stand up and assist him. While giving a table napkin and pen for the celebrity to sign. ¡ºJohn¡»"It''s alright, no need for formalities. I''m just a tourist just like you guys, so just call me John. Haha, we''ll have to do that later if there is still enough time" taking a seat in front of Guy-2 with Guy-1. ¡ºGuy-2¡»"That explains the lack of bodyguards of a high-class person as you in public like this. Well then, is there anything we could help you with John?" smiling amicably while also giving a concerned look to the young gazillionaire in font of him. ¡ºJohn¡»"Actually, yes. I believe only the two of you can¡­" replied with an exasperated look. ¡ºGuy-1¡» "Well, ''We can''t help everyone, but everyone can help someone.'' ¨C Ronald Reagan" showing his willingness to assist in any way he can by quoting someone. ¡ºJohn¡»"You guys are very hard to find, and still very suspicious. You do know you two still haven''t introduced yourselves¡­" eyeing the both of them for any suspicious movements. ¡ºGuy-1,2¡»"¡­" keeping quiet waiting for him to continue while they think of ways to get out of the current situation. ¡ºJohn¡»"Ok then. If that''s how it is, I''ll get to the point. But first, what should I address you both with? Nicholas Bennett? Neal Caffrey? or Nick Halden?" asked while looking to the man opposite of him then facing his right. "Which do you prefer? Mozzie? or Teddy Winters now?" inquiring the bald man whose sweating like bullets already in this cold weather. "For a regular human though I can''t help but be impressed for the dedication of faking your death to protect the Burkes family and those close to you in the Bureau from the Pink Panther''s retaliation and even from Keller just in case he managed to run." "But sadly Mr. Suit had no choice but to put him down. Though I''m guessing you planned that too to remove a weed from its roots especially with the surprise baby on the way. I would have done the same thing." "Of course, it''s Mozzie that I liked the most for his loyalty to you even though he never stopped having your back even after you lied about him regarding the manifest, he still kept his blind faith in you that you''ll always pull through." Patting the shoulder of the guy in his right, who is already feeling smug of the compliments he is receiving from one of the young genius celebrity he looks up to. "And I like that aspect of both of you. You know each other so well that even without spoken communication, you find ways to assist the one who is always in trouble even at the last minute." "Though you have great skills Mr. Caffrey, still it was mostly Mozzie responsible of helping you whenever you are in a pinch with his brilliant mind but as his loyalties lie to you, I have no choice other than considering both of you as a one package deal for my offer-" ¡ºNeal¡» (Clap! Clap! Clap!) "That was a great pitch, and your ''allegations'' are full of crap. But, first, call me Nicholas Bennett and my friend here Teddy Winters. I don''t know any Neal Caffrey, Nick Halden, nor this Mozzie that you mistakenly referring to. Two, Regular Humans? Hahaha, so what are you supposed to be Aliens?! and Pink Panther, Keller, Faking my death, what are you even talking about? You know¡­ for a young billion-dollar enterprise owner, you should try writing a novel with the story you just told me and make bucks out of it as a sideline." Interjected Neal, still trying to keep his poker face and think of ways to run, while his partner, on the other hand, is murmuring in the low voice busy piecing the clues he got from the pitch John gave. ¡ºJohn¡»(Sigh¡­) "You had a one-year head-start after regaining your freedom and all you did was lay-low, go underground with nothing to pass the time other than booze, paint, and ladies. Can''t blame you for getting rusty, after putting your all on that last con. SO is that all? What does mister Teddy has to say then?" Stated while looking a little sleepy at Neal''s interjection. While Mozzie''s right hand is busy tapping the table rhythmically from the pinky to index finger thinking of asking the right questions and after a while. ¡ºMozzie¡»"Hmm¡­ According to what my friend here said, you have spun quite the tale. I bet you, you are not even who you say you are as even you didn''t introduce your name as I recall. You let us assume who we thought you were and just didn''t correct us. That is a CON ARTIST 101! And you my friend are quite the conspiracy theorist, referring to us as ''Regular Humans''. What, you think you are of the higher race, an alien perha-" ¡ºJohn¡»(Yaaaaawwwwwnnn) "Man can we skip the doubt routine already? I''m getting bored¡­" interrupted Moz before he gets caught up in his own theories and stall for Neal to figure out a way out. "First of all, Neal, man, bro, stop thinking of an exit plan. Second of all, no Moz, can I call you Moz? I will call you Moz. You are correct I am of a higher race though it''s just above humans, which I''m guessing you have already gathered enough rumors of, ''Meta-humans''." "So I hate to break it to you that I ain''t an alien, though you were correct that our government already confirmed of their existence and kept under the wraps waayyy long before even Pompeii got buried under by a volcanic eruption." "I see that you both are of ''Seeing is believing'' type, so why don''t we take a short trip back to New York so Neal can take a good look at his junior namesake huh?" while creating an Eldtrich portal next to their table that made both men stand up in surprise. "Oh don''t be surprised, no one will notice what we are up to as we have been in the Mirror Dimension since I sat at your table. FYI it is a parallel dimension that allows the magic-user to practice their magical abilities and fight their enemies without the public''s knowledge." ¡ºBoth¡»"MAGIC?!" shocked at the revelation of its existence breaking their fundamental beliefs in science. ¡ºJohn¡»"Come along now, I don''t have all day." smirking evilly at the two that beats Neal''s by a large margin, stepping through the portal that exits through the inside of Burkes house. The two following him quickly to make sense of the current situation, mostly with Mozzie light on his steps acting as if he was in cloud 9 that was interrupted when he was suddenly pinched by Neal. ¡ºMozzie¡»"OUCH! Neal what the hell was that for?!" rubbing his right arm that was suddenly pinched by his best friend before covering his mouth with both hands as he noticed what he did, making him slip out his real name. ¡ºNeal¡»"Thought I was dreaming. Relax Moz, if he was a con artist then he is so damn good and dangerous for knowing the exact details of Peter''s house which means he has enough info on us." this time he pinches Mozzies cheeks making him yelp out again. ¡ºMozzie¡»"You know, you are supposed to pinch yourself to check if you are dreaming or not!" complained. ¡ºNeal¡»"I can''t believe it, we really are back in New York. He''s also telling the truth as Elizabeth hasn''t turned around from washing the dishes even after you yelled twice." Walking around Elizabeth''s figure at the Mirror Dimension and eyeing her intensely to check if she was an impostor or actor John hired. ¡ºJohn¡»"Alright, I will give you 30 mins to bond with your junior namesake unnoticed freely so make sure to savor the moment and not do anything funny." making some hand gestures cloaking Neal in a ''Notice me not'' like a charm from HP series equivalent on Eldritch magic. ¡ºMozzie¡»"Now that we are alone, I''m guessing you want to continue where you left off? About making an offer before Neal so rudely interrupted you sir?" now acting politely against John afraid of scaring his potential mark. ¡ºJohn¡»" Ah yes that! Before I continue though it is better if you both hear it at the same time, for I assume my previous statement of you coming as a package is correct?" looking at a teary-eyed Neal Caffrey who is bonding with his nephew. ¡ºMozzie¡»"Yes, he is like a brother to me whose bond is thicker than blood-" ¡ºJohn¡»"Speak no more, let''s just wait for him to finish before I elaborate on the matter. Till then, I bet you have tons of questions and we have time to kill so, would you like some cup of tea?" conjuring a tea set as they sat on the Burke dining table next to Elizabeth who is busy washing the dishes. ¡ºMozzie¡»"So magic, aliens, and meta-humans. What else does the government hide from us?" spamming questions after question asking like a curious little boy he was familiar with. ¡ºJohn¡»"Well for starters, there was the Culper Ring you were so close to finding out." showing a hologram of the post-credit scene from White Collar''s S4 E6 where Agent 355 spreading out the priceless flag on a round table. ¡ºMozzie¡»"Hologram!? Wait, Culper, is that Agent 355? I KNEW IT! I was right all along!" jumping up and down from excitement that he came close to unveiling the Culper Society. ¡ºJohn¡»"Well no need to be excited, that group is at the lowest priority of the government''s level of secret organizations. Here take this smartphone to satisfy your curiosity about those conspiracy theories running around your head." "This one allows you enough access to our database just for surface secrets, and remember don''t try any monkey business as it is tamper/thief-proof." "And if you still don''t heed my warnings and test it out I will let you off with one warning before I wipe both of your memories of anything since our meeting." letting off the wicked smile making Mozzie break in a cold sweat. ¡ºMozzie¡»(GULP) "Like the ''Men In Black''?" asked nervously with a shaky tone. ¡ºJohn¡»"Yep, like the MIB. So relax and enjoy before Neal finishes up first." with that as a cue, Mozzie hurriedly types in the information he wants clarifications on such as the ''Moon Landing'', ''Da Vinci Code'', and many other ancient secrets. Knowing full well that the treasures he can uncover from this mysteries won''t be stolen goods and can be sold legally through proper channels. Still, due to the adrenaline rush, he forgot one detail. If the information regarding the mystery and treasure is already included in the database means only one thing, it has been already acquired. John lets the misunderstanding fester more before he breaks Mozzie''s hope for a treasure horde. A couple of minutes later, John brought Neal back to the Mirror Dimension to finally discuss with both of them what he came for. ¡ºNeal¡»"Moz I understand why I have wet eyes, but why do you look more down than me? Did he do something to you?" still busy wiping his eyes, who sends out a harmless glare. ¡ºMozzie¡»"He crushed my hopes and dreams Neal! He crushed it! He left me with his high tech holographic phone to solve the conspiracy theories I have on my head and those mysteries surrounding priceless treasures. Only to have it dashed that he has collected everything of great value! Why? Why would you do that? You broke my tiny little heart!" complained like a dumped teenage girl on a prom. ¡ºJohn¡»"Hahaha well I saw you busy making plans of your own trying to retrieve what is already collected without asking me. Couldn''t let you go on a Lara Croft or Indiana Jones adventure only to reach the end with an empty chest now can I?" "That would have been crueler don''t you think Neal?" laughing his ass off while holding to his stomach. ¡ºNeal¡»"That''s it? Why didn''t you thought of that when he handed you the intel dummy, of course, he already has it on his hands for safekeeping otherwise he wouldn''t have let you see it." ¡ºJohn¡»"Alright enough messing around. Let''s get back to business, as I mentioned before I have a job offer for the both of you at one of my agencies. Don''t worry it is not part of the US government Moz, in fact, you might face them as an enemy in the future." Everyone now calm and collected, John started his pitch for hiring both of them to his LION (League of Intelligence Overwatch Network). Showing them the figures they will be making in a year, benefits that include wiping out their ledgers as a part of his manpower. Of course, that includes the Meta-formula treatment, which will extend their lifespans, cure their illness, and past injuries while making them look younger. As the hardened con artist they are, they still can''t believe that they are being offered a very luxurious job. ¡ºNeal¡»(No this offer is too good to be true, offers this luxurious always comes at a price. What is his angle?) ¡ºMozzie¡»(I hope Neal is thinking what I''m thinking, still this is better than the deal he got from the Bureau and the tech that he has! They are years ahead of everyone that I know off.) ¡ºJohn¡»(Ahh always the doubtful people you are. Checking for angles to gain more benefits. Habits die hard I guess. Since you guys are still doubtful. I will show you your lives from a third POV as my favorite quote from Sun Tzu, ''Know thy enemy and know thy self, fear not of hundred battles.'') interrupting their thoughts while making a gun with his finger and pointing it at Mozzie''s head passing out instantly cutting him off his exclamation. ¡ºMozzie¡»"You can read mi-" going limp on his seat, passing out absorbing the knowledge shot to his mind. ¡ºNeal¡»"WHAT DID YOU D-" standing abruptly shouting hysterically seeing his brother go limp on his seat, with him following after John pointed his hands on his head. ¡ºJohn¡»(Now this should be interesting, will they have drastic changes on their personalities finally seeing bits and pieces of their lives in third POV. The decisions they could ''have'' made, had they ''that'' information, the ''what ifs''.) (I''m getting used to this stuff, will it be for the best or worse? Oh well, I will just leave it to Batman then, cross the bridge when it comes and all that shit.) ¡ª Paris ¡ª A few hours later the two of them wake up at separate rooms of a huge mansion, one heading to showers to cool his mind the other already tapping the bottom of the wine available in his rooms mini-fridge before they proceeded to leave the room going to the dining area assisted by maids of the mansion. ¡ºJohn¡»"Welcome to my family''s vacation house in Paris. Apologies, I had to bring you here as I can''t leave you sleeping in the chair in a position like that or you might gain a stiff neck. Please have a meal with me. You''ll need to replenish your drained energy from the show you watched. So how was it?" making a hand gesture for every maid to clear out the room, before bringing them back to the Mirror Dimension. ¡ºNeal¡»"I think I understand what you were trying to say when you showed that movie to me. Still, you didn''t answer my question previously¡­ What is the catch? You won''t be offering a luxurious deal like that for con artist like us." he quipped while Mozzie still thinking. ¡ºJohn¡»"Very well. After this meal, so eat up first! Oh and Moz your meal is catered to your health care issues so don''t worry and enjoy the meal." After that statement, he returned them to the real dimension and finished their meal heading to the mansion''s library. Where he briefed them of the Chitauri invasion that will happen in a couple of years. Wreaking havoc in the center of the city giving them both the magical binding contract where Mozzie checked it for any loopholes. It''s unlikely for him to find one as Louis Litt''s contract is one that rarely gives any openings unless it''s for his benefit. Though Elizabeth and Junior are safe in Brooklyn at the time of the event. The same thing can''t be said for Diana and everyone in the Bureau of White Collar Division where their office is located at the heart of the matter. ¡ºJohn¡»"Now that you know the catch and all information you need, what are your decisions? It''s all right if you decline as we can completely remove our meetings from your memories-" ¡ºBoth¡»" WE''LL TAKE IT!" exclaiming at the same time not wanting John to finish his statement. Signing the contract by pricking their thumbs with a needle and pressing the blood-covered thumb above their names on the contract. To their amazement, it slowly lifted in front of them glowing before burning out without leaving any ashes. ¡ºJohn¡»"Decisive! It looks like I wasn''t wrong about you two. Welcome to your new FAMILY!" pulling the both of them into a hug. 25 Modern Training 2,371 words It''s been two months since we joined Wayne Enterprise, though I''m always learning new stuff about the world and universe we are currently living in, it still all feels surreal for me. While Neal having regained his freedom and cleared ledgers, is now able to visit the Burke''s on free days is like a fish let out in the ocean from an aquarium, I have never seen him so happy and vulnerable to others. I enjoy the same freedom and company of others, with all my allergies and undetected illness I didn''t want to know about being healed by a glass of water. The only thing that always wakes me up to reality is this mandatory training we all have to go through before we are able to receive the Meta-treatment to gain SUPERPOWERS and start doing missions. SUPERPOWERS! I thought those won''t be appearing until I was in the ''70s! But it looks like I''m proven wrong. Learning magical scriptures, ki manipulation and techniques is a piece of cake for a genius like me that has total recall. The only thing I hate the most is the body tempering part! Why does it feels like I''m being treated as a punching bag by those masters? Where did that demon king even found these ogres, barbaric masters? From the forbidden depths of Japan''s jungle? Though I like Master Akisame-sensei for his mind and brilliant works, he is the one who dishes out the most painful blow even with his lean build. Is he also a Meta-human? This one needs more research. Still, Neal is going back to his old habits of going for headstrong women, especially that blonde corporate suit in the legal department. Haha though this training is painful, the gains we are accumulating are exhilarating. As we are the new guys, it is the new black history for Neal, always being beaten black and blue in the ring by a female, that always makes my day, ahhh, fresh blackmail material. Good thing we are learning from the best of the best as Master Kensei Ma teaches me the proper art of Photography with his daily mock fights with Shigure-sensei and where to properly hide your stash. There is also that dinner I finally got after gathering up all of my courage to ask Dr. Kinney who always takes care of me in the infirmary. I''m so excited! Its been a while since I have been with someone on my level of intellect like Vulture. Oh, just remembering how dumb of me to burn her number that day! Stupid, stupid, stupid Mozzie! Hopefully the master''s we''ll go easy on me tomorrow so that I can still do some ''actions'' after our dinner... ¡ºAkisame¡»" So? What is the Jury''s decision of the matter?" ¡ºFurinji¡»" Well he wishes the training to be light for today for his dinner date with the lady doctor..." said while eyeing the disciple in front them sitting in dogeza with his head down trembling so slightly. ¡ºKensei¡»"A couple of Apachai''s ''LIGHT'' punches then¡­" covering his right side of the face from a black eye he just received from both Miu and Shigure. ¡ºApachai¡»"Apapapapapapapapapapa-CHAIIIII!!" (Whoosh!) sending Mozzie flying through the dusk covered skies. ¡ºMozzie¡»"I''MMM SOOOOOO...¡­..RRRR¡­RRRR¡­YYYYYY!!!!" leaving a twinkling star on the horizon. --- Pier at the edge of Antarctica --- A figure clad in an orange winter cloak, with a huge gray backpack behind him exited a chopper that landed at the Pier by the edge of Antarctica. ¡ºPilot¡»"Here we are, by the way, the ship headed to South America won''t be here by tomorrow if you want you can sleep with me tonight to keep your body temperature warm. If you know what I mean¡­" Looking at his exiting passenger lewdly, showing he hadn''t had any ''action'' in a very LONG while. Who took off the hood of the orange winter coat showing her long black hair covered by a beanie, with snow-white skin, and clear brown eyes behind transparent ski goggles showing that the passenger is a 5ft tall woman with an hourglass figure. ¡ºGirl-1¡»"No thanks! Is there any other way to leave this dreadful continent?!" pissed at the last remark and looks the pilot was giving her. ¡ºPilot¡»"Well, if you''re in that much of a rush to get out of here then you should quickly find the Japanese Fishing Boat by the pier that''s about to leave in¡­" slowly looking at his watch to stall so that the girl will have no choice but to stay. ¡ºPilot¡»"About 30 minutes, so hurry if you want to board their boat before they leave. My cabin is the yellow one if you don''t manage to catch up to them, Ciao!" leaving the girl alone by the helipad thinking he got her already severely underestimating her. ¡ºGirl-1¡»"Ughhh. Wait! What does it-..."(look like?) she didn''t even get to ask the important question when the man left in a rush to his cabin. "Fucking horny perverts! Never should''ve taken the job here without checking if there is any other girl/woman out here." covering herself heavily again to fight off the cold. --- 29 mins later --- Reaching the smallest fishing boat she ignored in the beginning, now cold and scared thinking that the pilot might have given him the wrong departure details of the boat and that it had already left leaving her no choice to stay with the pervert just made her shiver more. ¡ºGirl-1¡»"E-e-ekkssshh-cuse m-me-e¡­ Ish thish b-boawt g-going t-to Arrrrr-g-gentinaaa???" jaws clattering and teeths grinding shows clearly not being able to handle the cold weather of Antarctica. Being speechless for awhile looking like in deep thoughts before nodding and slowly replying back speaking in fluent Japanese to the stranger ¡ºBoat man¡»"¡­Hai! Chottomatte." then going in and out of the cabin with a huge white fur blanket clearly made out of a polar bear. (T/N: ¡­Yes! Wait a moment.) ¡ºBoat man¡»"D¨­zo, haitte kudasai." (T/N: Please, Come in.) leading her inside the cabin to warm up. ¡ºGirl-1¡»"D-d-d¨­mo a-a-ariga-t-t-t¨­goz-z-zaimash-sh-shita!!" clearly still feeling cold, but thankful that she finally gets to leave this godforsaken land. (T/N: Thank you very much!) A couple of hours later in the middle of South Atlantic Ocean, the boat sailed slowly clearly waiting for something, which woke up the unexpected passenger thinking they''d finally reached the edge of South America. ¡ºGirl-1¡»"Are we there yet?" speaking in perfect Japanese before going to the deck to check outside where they are, now that she was well-rested and warmed up properly. ¡ºBoatman¡»"No, not yet. I''m waiting for someone." relaxing by the doors of the cabin, with a towel on hand. ¡ºGirl-1¡»"Waiting for someone? At this place? Are you sure? Will he be dropping from the sky or pop out of the water?" Thinking that this guy has a few screws loose in the head due to the cold weather as she takes a peek at the dark ocean surrounding them wishing for there to be a submarine under them instead of something else. ¡ºGirl-1¡»"By the way do you have any satellite phones? I want to call my parents, and tell them I''m coming home-¡­" As she makes a call sign with her index, middle and ring finger of both hands folded to her palm forgetting she doesn''t have any gloves only receiving a smirk instead of a reply from the Japanese boatman. (BOOM! SPLASH!) The water on her right side exploding up showering her with cold Antarctic water and covering her in a fishy smell adding to her odor of not taking a proper bath in weeks. ¡ºGirl-1¡»(GASP!) "AHHHHHH, WE''RE GONNA DIE!!! SOMEONE TORPEDOED US!!!" screaming at the top of her lungs as her life flashes before her eyes thinking of the worst possible situation. ¡ºGuy-1¡»"Was she this noisy before I got here Jiraiya-san?" says the unknown guest who appeared out of nowhere taking the towel from the Boatman speaking to him in perfect English. ¡ºJiraiya¡»"I don''t know actually, she just slept as soon as we left the Pier." replying back to the unknown guest. ¡ºGirl-1¡»"WHAT!? You can speak English!" enraged that she was fooled since the beginning that the man knew how to speak English but hid it from her. ¡ºGirl-1¡»"AND WHO ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO BE? Look at what you''ve done to my hands it''s frozen like a ''hang loose'' sign, you''ve made me wet and covered in the stink!" Gaining a giggle from the two guys, only hearing what she said after thinking it through again. ¡ºGirl-1¡»"UGHHH, you know what I mean! What kind of sick joke are you guys even planning, huh? Luring a young woman like me in the middle of South Atlantic Ocean-" ¡ºGuy-1¡»"Hi! Name is John M. Wayne of Wayne Enterprise, nice to meet ya! I don''t have time for this, just wanted to check on you Ms. Alexandria Anastasia Dunphy. I will be sending you back to your house in a few moments as I''m in a rush, will contact you later in regards to this trouble and a new job offer, judging by your outfit that you recently left the job from Antarctica." John receiving the bag Alex left inside the cabin with all her stuff in it from the Jiraiya placing it in front of her before she could register what is happening, opening an Eldritch Portal that exits to the front yard of her house in Los Angeles, California. ¡ºJohn¡»"Take care, dude!" pushing her through, then closing the portal quickly and opening it again this time the exit is at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). ¡ºJohn¡»"Alright, you know what to do. Go quickly!" receiving a nod from Jiraiya who quickly dashed through the portal. Upon which moments later the boat they were standing on earlier was quickly wrapped with humongous tentacles of Kraken-sized giant squid with the ''John'' in it that popped in a cloud of smoke clearly indicating it was a clone. --- New York = John''s POV --- Well, clearly the clone is getting nearer the Atlantis now that he is being hunted purposely by the Kraken-sized giant squids. Still, for me or in this case, my clone to be turned on by Alex Dunphy in Ariel Winter''s image without the boob reduction happening in this universe¡­ god! Looks like I''m still hung up on the childhood celebrity crush of my past life. With the advanced technology, Marvel-universe has thanks to all the geniuses it birthed combined with those of multiple crossover additions this universe has, it is no wonder that those series I watched that was supposed to start later in the year is almost finished on this timeline. Such as Modern Family which ended on April 8, 2020, which sucked you know cause I considered it as one of the best show of the era of my previous life, but after my trip to Japan where I met people who weren''t supposed to be in Marvel made me do another hack to SHIELD''s database. Just to verify other significant figures I have read and watched I have placed an alarm in the government database that notifies me on their complete details and activities. Of course due to them being in Marvel-verse fixed a few flaws such as Alex Dunphy who doesn''t suffer consequences of having supple bosoms, and buffed up her appearance more clearly some protagonist bonus. Though I was intent on avoiding creating a harem, just looking at Gwen checking out Jean''s and my ass and vice versa pretty much seals the deal I''ll be facing a harem in the future. Hopefully, it won''t be reaching two digits. Just looking at the trouble and drama the Dunphy, Pritchett, and Pritchett-Tucker family had faced based on Modern Family TV series and it actually existing here makes me cringe. Imagine that trouble multiplied a hundred factoring in that this is a Marvel-DC-(random cross-over) universe, makes me shiver at the thought. But who cares, I''m the type of "Come what may" guy. In other words, a, "We''ll cross that bridge when we come to it" type of guy basically. That''s what my partner Augur helps me for, convenient right? ¡ºJohn??"Augur, Create a new project code name: HAREM! analyze the data we have on managing harems from the different types of literature from my previous life and this one as well as NIMROD''s black box. Then compile a suitable method of managing such harem of any numbers. God! I love how smart I am at being lazy." ¡ºAugur¡»"¡­" ¡ºAugur¡»(DING!) [Project: HAREM created] --- LA, California = Alex POV --- A couple of teens jogging through when they saw a girl standing at the sidewalk in front of what they assume her house looking dazed, freezing, jaws, and teeth clattering, and grinding from the wind passing through her. ¡ºRandom¡»"You alright, DUDE?" they asked as they shook her out of her daze. ¡ºRandom¡»"Did you walk back home while being wet? You''ll get a cold dude!" seeing her freezing appearance ¡ºAlex¡»"I-i-i''m f-f-fine. J-just feeling und-d-der the weather is all." replied quickly walking to go inside her house. I''m HOME?! W-what t-t-the hell just happened-d-d-d? Last I checked I was above the Japanese boat, asking the boatman to call from a satellite phone when suddenly the water beside me burst. Then out of nowhere this famous young genius billionaire of Wayne Enterprise pops up and dries himself with the towel from the Japanese boatman who apparently speaks fluent English. When he suddenly makes gestures with his hands a ''portal'' to my house opens and he pushes me through. Was that real magic? High-end teleportation tech? Ugh forget it, must be the Hypothermia and frostbite messing with my brain. Shaking her head quickly rid of her the thoughts putting it at the back of her head, she knocks the door wildly in a rush only to be greeted by her mom who was also feeling sick and sent her on a soup run. (A/N: skipping the whole scene and just go watch Modern Family Season 11 Episode 2) 26 Modern Closet 2,365 words After exiting the Eldritch Portal from the middle of South Atlantic Ocean, I created fake paper and cyber trails of Alex Dunphy''s transportation from Antarctica to LAX, California which wasn''t that hard as it was what I was already specialized in. Gathering, and manipulating information for the Hand. After the young master took over it, all of us had been enlightened and had a much more conviction on doing what we were trained to do. Especially now that I finally have the time to write and publish my erotic novels. (BLUSH) Though I understand the meaning for the first two missions I have received, I''m still confused as to the importance of the other two. Which I''m grateful for as I get to do my stuff while doing surveillance after taking over an NGO (Non-Governmental Organization) and hunting those human resources required for our expansion. *DING!* |LA, CALIFORNIA QUEST COMPLETE!| -Secure PROJECT: CALISTO prototypes (Complete) -Rehire Brok Corporate Staff, and John Bosley''s agents (Complete) -Take-over of Townsend Agency (Complete) -SUB: Verification of Lucifer (Doesn''t Exist) -SUB: Monitoring of 3 Modern Family (Undergoing) What caught my attention during the hunt was the main objective PROJECT: CALISTO of Brok Corporate and scientists who worked on it though one was a vegetable I didn''t expect the other one to be a rookie spy. (A/N: Charlie''s Angels 2019) This one item will put all assassin out of a job if weaponized and mass-produced, an EMP device like a remote switch to shutdown the human body completely. If someone was willing to bide their time and only use it once it had become ubiquitous, it could become a weapon capable of taking out nearly anyone on the planet at any given time. It''s a frighteningly casual and easy way to kill someone, even just as a portable seizure bomb. (A/N: Source CBR .com) ¡ºJiraiya¡»(Ooh, target locked! Boss said it''s fine as long she''s not related to the three target families, maybe I''ll get a bonus as she''s a rival of one of the matriarchs. Hehehe...) thoughts broken as he spots Dr. Donna Duncan come in the cafe he is at. --- John''s POV --- Ding! [Iron Man Origin Story Beginning] Ding! [LA Main Quests Cleared!] ¡ºJohn¡»"Is it that time already?" clearly surprised by notifications from the system. ¡ºAugur¡»"Yes, sir. Mr. Stark just left for Afghanistan just now and Jiraiya has also finished cleaning up the Townsend Agency quest." clarified the details. I got so caught up on this Calisto project of Brok Corporate I forgot about the time again. Now that I managed to fix it''s flaws and compressed it further at the size of iPod nano (3.57 inX1.52 in wideX0.24 in thick). Not only that, but I also made the EMP function of the device to be an anti-magnetic field for any devices equipped with it that shields it from Magnetto''s control and boosting the protection from any type of scanning attempts to reverse engineer my techs. This is not even counting the development of Dr. Otto and Rosalie Octavius whose primary research is regarding solar energy concept where they plan on harnessing the energy of a man-made star which I know ends badly as stated by the Marvel-verse. Like how the accident of Peter and Baxter Foundation is meant to be. But now that there is no ROB present, maybe, just maybe, I can interfere with their fates as I did with Uncle Ben''s. Whom he also took in after OSCORP''s demise. It''s one of his company''s services to hire not just scientists but all workers of any rival corporate that goes out of business to avoid the possibility of them working for the other side in the future. Well, since it will take three months before Tony escapes his hellhole it would be about the same time that island will be up and running and the time I finish establishing XIPHOS foundation through the Townsend Agency as the base. FYI, don''t think that this agency is an all-girls spy NGO just because the movie industry focused on them. They gave information that they also train guys from Bosley''s birthday scene and the agents Bosley 001 poached. Still can''t believe that the "Sal" of Modern Family would actually be a ''Bosley'' of the Townsend Agency. Thinking about it and connecting the dots, everything finally makes sense where her kid looks a lot like ''Saint'' the guy who assisted the new Angels on the Calisto mission. Rebecca Salazar is known as Bosley 342 (Charlie''s Angels 2019) a high ranking agent of Townsend Agency, and Sal (Modern Family) when off-duty and parties with her good friends the Tucker-Pritchett pair. (A/N: Made up name combining two separate films) Both live in LA, California, and are only known for partying with the Tucker-Pritchett pair from Modern Family. I''m guessing she is also eyeing Alex Dunphy and recently Lily Tucker-Pritchett to be an Angel agent candidate, but can''t seem to find the time. Now they will all work for me! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA! ¡ºJohn¡»"BTW, what is the status on Jiraiya''s surveillance regarding the Families?" asked Augur after having his fill of villain laugh. ¡ºAugur¡»"Based on the current events, it is on Season 11 Episode 4 Pool Party according to your TV show standards. Upon which the Smart Closet Fiasco begins." ¡ºJohn¡»"NICE, just gives me more good points to be in Claire''s good grace. Start the production line for ETHER" orders Augur before going to the bathroom to clean up for his meeting with the Dunphy''s. I named it as such from the ''Ether Reactor'' that powers a Silhouette Knight from the novel/manga/anime ''Knights and Magic'' wherein it harnesses the energy in the surroundings and powers the Gundam version in a Magic World. --- EZRAVISION - LA, California --- ¡ºClaire¡»"We are not gonna let one little misstep make us forget this one company has given us. I loved being a stay-at-home mom. I did" "But working here has given me a whole new sense of self... And come on. One mistake does not make us evil. We will come clean." "We''ll recall the product. We''ll do whatever we have to do. Because under this tech B.S., there is a company we love." "Look we may no longer make smart closets, be we sure as hell are gonna make smart closets!" (Jingling sound of the smart closet starting) ¡ºCloset-Claire¡»"Looking for a smart outfit? Maintain eye contact with the mirror and begin stripping down." ¡ºClaire¡»"I deeply regret that." just as she was about to walk away she bumped into something or someone huge. "Oomph, I''m sorry-..." dazed at the uninvited guest. ¡ºJohn¡»"Wow that was one heck of a nice speech there Mrs. Dunphy. Sorry for listening and barging in here without an appointment as I deem it of great importance." grabbing her shoulder and putting some distance after she bumped into him. ¡ºClaire¡»"Wha-... Who-..." still shocked. ¡ºAlex¡»"John? Is that really you?" standing up reaching her mother''s side quickly to take a look at the person with a familiar voice that she could hardly forget even when she is actively trying too. ¡ºHayley¡»"John who?" trying to get in on what is happening. ¡ºAll¡»(GASPS) now that all eyes are on him and them recognizing who he is. ¡ºHayley¡»"JOHN WAYNE of Wayne Ent.! WAIT, How do you know him Alex?!" she screeched upon meeting one of the top hot young genius billionaire then glaring at her sister. ¡ºAlex¡»"Well, it''s the job of his evil corporate that I was trying to turn down earlier..." ¡ºHayley¡»"You are turning down a job to work on Wayne Enterprise?!" shocked at what her sister was trying to pass on. ¡ºJohn¡»"Hi nice to meet you all! We''ve actually met awhile back when she was returning from Antarctica." (Wink wink) sending to winks at Alex''s direction making her recall in what she buried as her imaginations due to stress from working there. ¡ºAlex¡»"Whaa-... So that means... Ughhh..." unable to finish her sentence as her brain still busy trying to process the events of that day. ¡ºJohn¡»"Now that introductions are out of the way, I was actually here to help you with your issues Mrs. Dunphy. Care to bring this discussion somewhere more private perhaps?" looking at the now awakened Claire. ¡ºClaire¡»"Umm... Sure this way please." leading the entourage to the conference room nearby consisting of her daughters, lawyer, and techguy. "So why are you here again? And how can you exactly help us?" she asked. ¡ºJohn¡»"First of all, let me fix that hacking issue your facing for free. Augur remove all traces of any recordings that came from the smart closets produced by their company then track and alarm the authorities of those responsible for this fiasco and make it clear none of it is the company''s fault." stated in the open air confusing everyone in the room. ¡ºClaire¡»"Are you alright? Who are you talking to? There is no one in here named Ogre?" confused at the giant teenager in front of her talking to the air. ¡ºAugur¡»(DING!) "Task Completed!" responded through the room''s speakers and showing holographic images through the smart-bracer against the conference room transparent glass. ¡ºAlex¡»"WTF?! You manage to complete a fully functioning A.I. and Holographic technology?" shaken out of her stupor from the display on the glass regarding reports of the hackers being arrested and those who responsible for perving through the smart closets. ¡ºLawyer¡»"It''s true everything in the Russian porn site that was closet related is now completely gone. There is even live news on SWAT raids of those hackers online. UNBELIEVABLE!" crying to tears that she won''t lose her job and have to go to prison. ¡ºClaire¡»"THANK YOU VERY MUCH!" clasping John''s hand expressing her gratitude with a few teardrops. "Still why would you do that for a nobody like us?" ¡ºJohn¡»"It''s no sweat anyways, and if I don''t do that you might think I was the one behind that deal. Because I was planning to buy out your company and along with its staff..." while showing the gentlest smile he can that almost blinded Hayley to his brilliance. ¡ºClaire¡»"You WHAT?!" exclaimed as she thinks what exactly John said, that she will think he was playing her. ¡ºJohn¡»"Now before you think of anything else, let me explain clearly why I''m trying to buy you out after fixing your problems. See, like what Nick did when he offered the same thing to you and your father, it''s all about keeping up with times." going to the projection board of the room. "From the classic mechanical closet, you went to automated with EZRAVISION company correct? Now with the new tech my company developed, I''m afraid you all might lose your jobs once it is released that is why before we release the product we plan on buying out all closet companies." "And unlike the previous company where you still had the option to merge, we don''t have any manufacturing issues or the like." pausing his speech letting Claire raise a question. ¡ºClaire¡»"I guess with that high tech thing in your wrist that looks like a watch, and gives out projection I can only imagine how advance your closet can be." pondering over the possibilities she can take advantage of. ¡ºJohn¡»"Ahh, you misunderstood..." "Our new product actually removes any demand for a closet to be installed in buildings, making it possible to be carried on hand." taking something from the inner pocket of his tux that looks like a medicine box. Opening it shows a variety of capsule-shaped items that has a button on one side of it taking the one colored in blue with a label 6 on it. Pressing the button and throwing it on the open space to his right. (POP! WHOOSH!) What popped out after the smoke cleared a typical reach-in closet is an approximately 6-feet long, 8-feet high, 24-inches deep with an 80-inch high door opening. Reach-in closets are very practical for a single occupant. They allow for easy viewing and access to all contents. Accessories and baskets work well in them. ¡ºALL¡»"WOAH!" as they crowded the furniture that appeared out of nowhere like magic inspecting it for any foul play. Before John comes near it after they scanned it for a few minutes and pressing a button at the top right of the closet that produced another cloud of smoke leaving the same capsule he threw earlier in its place. ¡ºJohn¡»"That''s just the most basic tech we have. Don''t worry though, you''ll still be in charge of everything here just that you''ll be working for us and someone will intervene from time to time just in case the same problem happens." (Oh, they might even get a heart attack if I show them the expansion magic and the UMF tech. I think the Brief Particle tech should be enough.) ¡ºClaire¡»"Well if I''m still the one managing things here then we don''t have a problem! Should I be calling you ''Boss'' now?" shaking my hand vigorously sealing the deal as soon as she heard she still managing things only with proper supervision. ¡ºJohn¡»"Nah, it will just put a strain on all those I work with. Just call me John as I still respect those older than me and I know my place is behind the curtain feel better." "Since our business here is already concluded I should get going soon, someone will come later afternoon to fix the necessary paperwork. See ya! Oh, and Alex!" walking by the conference room door only to stop last second facing Alex. "Hope to hear an answer from you soon! Here''s my number, talk soon!" giving a business card colored in black with the letters and logo in silver. Before finally walking out of the stunned people who clamored once he was out of sight.
