Chapter 2: new life
after 10 years *
when I woke up in the morning of my tenth birthday, I notice immediately, I knew exactly what had happened 10 years ago
"It's not a dream," I said, I was sure I had been reincarnated, I had regained the memories of my previous life.
it was strange, on the one hand, he was only a 10-year-old boy, while he also had the memories of a scientist of almost 30 years;
To be fair all the memories about my previous scientific achievements had been eliminated, it was like watching a futuristic movie but just in the most important parts, someone else speaks to or advanced the scene, fortunately I still had the memories of my personal life, a fiasco if I may say so, but its could be my biggest advantage, because I knew many of the plots of superheroes and supervillains, it may not be sure , but it still being an advantage for me as an advanced guide and source of references, at least I know I'll have to face in this world.
It took me a moment to process all the information, both from my previous self and from my current one.
I was currently in 2005, 3 years before the kidnapping of Tony Stark, my name was still Ethan Cross, the last living descendant of the Cross family, son of Stephen and Julia Cross.
My parents died when I was 7 years old in an explosion, the cause was never known.
After his death, I became the heir of a great fortune that included one of the 5 best floors in the Baxter building, which was part of the complex of laboratories and facilities funded by Franklin storm (father of Susan and Jhonny storm) my Father was a university classmate of the father of two of the fantastic four and an my father help him to meet with his wife Mary.
my inheritance includes 3% of the shares of Stark Industries (my mother was a genius of technological development, and she meets Howard and his wife while she was working on several technological projects), Howard had recruited her to work for him, to change had given her 1% of the shares of Stark industries that eventually became the current 3%.
finally I'm owned for 14% of Oscorp's shares, to be honest Ethan had never approached Norman or Harry and as far as my parents knew they had not done so, apparently these actions were the inheritance that my grandfather left to my father, at first they were 7% but my father had worked in Oscorp after his graduation so the company's shares were gradually increasing, however he had problems with Norman and the way he ran the company, so he left Oscorp and joined to his former university partner Franklin storm with whom he started the project in the Baxter building.
After the death of my parents, i had no other relatives, so I gone to live with the storm family for 2 years until Franklin died in a car accident.
since then, I've decided to return to his parents' old house, a mansion on the outskirts of New York, the house was huge and surrounded by extensive groves, reminded him of the x men mansion, but his house was several times smaller and was much closer to the city; At this moment I lived practically alone, only Nicoll who was my adoptive aunt lives with me (she has the role of my legal guardian and administrator of my inheritance) in the mansion were only a few servants who helped with the house maintenance, my Aunt Nicoll would not only take care of the economic needs of the home, she was the closest to a family for me, even I call her my aunt Nicoll is 19 years old, she had been in a Cross family since the time of my father, who had found her on the street being a little speck thief.
After realizing her intelligence and loyalty, he decides turning her into her son's assistant, since then she had been strictly trained in the many areas of knowledge that included manners, administration, cooking, physics, biology, mechanics, medicine, programming, advanced mathematics, advanced weapons management, infiltration and espionage arts, as well as various martial arts among other things, practically she's playing the role of housekeeper, assistant, administrator, lawyer and legal advisor, bodyguard, chauffeur, and because of that I wanted to attend school, she also became a tutor and principal educator of her "young master" as she calls me.
After assimilating my new memories, I really didn't know how to feel me, I must say that finding out that my current world is full of beings that could erase the entire planet like Thanos or galactus, really made my hair stand on end, although there gonna be heroes who will face the villains
they can be reassuring, the fact of leaving my survival in their hands, is a bit, worrying to say the least.
Fortunately (I think) my previous self gave me a way to confront these beings.
but nevertheless, it will require time and resources to strengthen me or rather strengthen us, I think.
"It seems that you finally remember me, dear host," said a monotonous voice in my head.
"I guess you are the symbiote I had wanted," I said
"The host is right; the being whom you call as being x has given me basic intelligence to assist and support you in a better way for your new life, you can see me as a slightly more advanced than the artificial intelligence you know as Jarvis" the symbiote replayed me.
"It seems that it really happened * sigh *I just hope things are not so bad.
tell me, do you have a name?" I asked for
"I really don't have a name, the host can choose a way to refer to me," he said.
"Mmm, I see, it's okay, let me think about it ... I know! As your voice sounds feminine, I assume you're a woman, so what do you think about Eva, and, could you also stop referring to me as a host? Better call me by my name"
"I inform you that as a symbiote I don't have what you define as gender, it could be said that I am an asexual being, however I thank Mr. Ethan for giving me a name, from this moment let me serve you in everything I can," said Eva
"Okay Eva, don't tell me sir, technically I'm still a child" y say looking me in a mirror.
" tell me can you do a scan on my body to check if there is any health problem or what is the reason for my powers?" I asked for
"informing at the young master
Ethan, the scan has been done before, let me say you that in addition to the high amounts of hormones in his system that suggest that he is going through a strong period of depression, his body is currently in perfect condition, in addition to its structure genetics show traces of mutation, which I suppose is a consequence of what you call gene x, so I have confirmed that the mutation caused by these genes is the origin of my existence, "said Eva
"explain it" I said
After a long and detailed explanation I finally understood what it was happening.
apparently, a deviation during my mutation gave origin to a new being composed of an amalgam of my x genes, because my soul was fused with the soul of a klyntar, my symbiotic part took control over the new body giving it the inherent characteristics of a klyntar, in addition to acquiring all the skills
that are supposed to give me my x genes.
This allowed us to eliminate the link between my symbiote and the god knull as well as allowing both parts (symbiote and human) to share the same consciousness.
This also means that while one of the two survives, the other will do too giving us the opportunity to reshape our body.
cause my x genes were isolated and turned into something else, if someone would analyze my DNA, they would think that I am a normal human till ill project part of my symbiote or that someone will enter my mental passage
"Tell me Eva, what do you think I should do now that we know what fate holds for us?"
" informing at the young Ethan according to an objective analysis, the best option for our survival is to keep a low profile while trying to control and strengthen their powers, unless it is completely necessary it should not be made known.
however, this will result in thousands of people dying, including loved ones, "said Eva.
"The second option is somewhat more complicated and is more oriented to the moral part of our being, we should actively participate in the next events that will take place on planet Earth and assume the role of what would be a hero, preferably join the group known as - the avengers - and work on a contingency plan for the future threats of humanity, however in this case you must keep your identity hidden to avoid putting your loved ones at risk like Miss Nicoll "
To be honest I think the first option really is the most practical, I just have to make sure to protect Aunt Nicoll and the rest can be ignored but, if I did and Aunt Nicoll knew that I have the ability to save everyone, I think that she won't approve it, and after having a life without challenges I would be a fool if I didn't take the opportunity to prove myself, so I chose to be a hero, but first of all I need to know what the exact circumstances of my new world are, and I think I know the best place to gather the information I need.
"Eva, do you think you can hack the shield database without them noticing?"
I asked a question whose answer I already knew
"It is possible, however, I need access to your base of operations or failing to establish a connection with your satellites to be able to access remotely, I also recommend doing so from a connection not related to you," eva said.
"to access the satellite you need access from an external device or you can do it from a communication tower, for example a telephone signal?, is possible to create a kind of virus that I deleted any image or recording record they have about me? how long would it take you to do it, "I said as I devised a plan
"The suggestion of the young master is really viable, after a quick estimate and assuming that the virus was created before I estimate that the time needed to carry out the process is approximately 13 minutes allowing you to create an exact copy of the files and infiltrate the virus to erase images about you "
"Very good" I said approaching the computer on my desk
connect to the network and investigate which is the nearest antenna, also look for any information on mutants, Professor Charles Xavier and the Xavier Academy for gifted young people, if I am correct they will soon be looking for us "just when I finish speaking I extended my hand and I touched the CPU of my computer, immediately a king blue biomass spread from my skin and enveloped the CPU, followed by multiple web pages began to appear on my monitor, the process was very fast, it took approximately 20 seconds and till Eva Star to show the information in my head, so we found in the network there was an incident related to the kidnapping of the president by a mutant known as Erik lehnsherr what puzzled me is that this incident happened in 1995, after knowing the event I immediately knew that at any moment I would be waking up En Sabah Nur and this gonna be the events when I'll appears for first time, After discussing what I would have to do, I went to the dining room, I was really starving, I think it is one of the disadvantages of having a symbiote.
while I was eating, Eva brokes my thinking line.
"Young master Ethan I've detected a person who tries to locate us telepathically, I have hidden our position however, but now he is trying to communicate with us, what should I do?"
Just who I was looking for, apparently that of my mutant genes has alerted Professor Xavier, this may be good, it seems that it is time for me to make my debut I thought.
"Eva, can you communicate with him without others knowing and without revealing our position?" I asked for
"It is possible," said Eva
"very well i think it's time to say hello to the x-men leader"
