Chapter 332: 332 The Boys: Young Magneto, Lord Meowington to the Rescue, and Alice's Adventure.
*Alice's POV*
My name is Alice I am eight years old almost nine, I have a cat, who is also my adventure companion, war advisor, gunner, medic, tactical support and intelligence personnel, and sometimes my guardian, his name is Lord Meowington and he is a secret agent, but that is a secret so don't tell anyone.
"Eve where's my damn tie?!"
"It's where it always is stop bothering me!"
My parents love each other a lot even though they yell at each other a lot. My dad usually loses his clothes a lot, but I know my mom loves him a lot, and that's why he hides them on purpose.
"That..."
My dad may seem like he gets mad at her, but he ends up playing with Mom to find her things; it's fun to watch the hide-and-seek game.
Sometimes, mom puts dad's clothes in the trash can; my dad does the same thing with my mom's favorite dresses, dad's clothes, and mom's purse.
This happens often...
"Alice?!"
Ah, I decided to run when my dad saw me watching from a corner, hahaha. I got to play too; once outside in the garden, I saw my mom watering her plants. She usually waters her flowers before she goes to work.
"That bastard pig hurt my roses, I don't care if he wants to fuck his secretary, but he doesn't have to give her my flowers!"
My mom usually calls dad by many names when he doesn't see her, I caught her and she told me that they are words of love that wives use with their husbands and only when I get married I can use them, she asked me if my brother would be happy if I use them with him?
My mom sighed and knelt on her knees as she picked up a broken flower. My mom is a very beautiful woman with the brightest golden hair I had ever seen...or it was until I met the armored sister; Mom's eyes are still very pretty emerald colored. However, her look usually fades after she finishes her game with Daddy.
She must be lonely... I wish Daddy would play with Mommy more so she doesn't get depressed.
"Alice?!"
In the distance, I heard a very familiar scream it was my beloved aunt Alison; she usually comes to take care of me as my parents work a lot. From what I understand, my aunt is doing a master's degree, and my mom helps her by paying her in exchange for taking care of me.
I ran to my aunt, and she hugged me. However, I sighed pitifully. Unlike my mom, my aunt is less soft and doesn't feel like a giant pillow.
"Don't worry, Aunty, someday you will be boing boing like my mom..." I said, trying to show warmth and kindness.
My aunt turned red as a vein jumped out of her forehead. I've seen my mom do that with my dad a lot, and it means she's embarrassed.
"Alice, your aunt is pretty big for a woman; it's not my fault your mom has basketballs on her chest!"
"Alison, what are you teaching my daughter?"
Mom appeared, I looked at my aunt and then at my voluptuous mother and sighed as I patted my aunt.
"Don't worry aunt, you have other good features even if you are not as pretty and soft as my mom~"
My aunt started to tremble with a somber look, she must have been touched by my words.
"Alice... you're underestimating me too much... your aunt won't take you to the aquarium anymore."
"No way..."
My eyes began to sting as I heard such devastating news. Alice has been good, why?
"Ah! don't cry! I'll take you! I'll take you to the aquarium!"
My aunt started to comfort me and gave me a treat she had in her pocket.
"Thank you. I love you, Aunt Alison!" I hugged my Aunt Alison's leg.
My aunt is the coolest in the world. She has candy everywhere, including her house, car, purse, and in her pockets, and from time to time, she gives me some.
My mom sighed. "Alison, what kind of adult walks around with candy in her pockets all day long....at this rate, you will never get married..."
"Whose fault is it but your heartless little princess?!!!" Aunt Alison became depressed and sat on the floor doing circles, "It's always the same...I have anxiety attacks because Alice disappears all the time, I have to run around endlessly and the worst thing is the blatant comparison with my beautiful rich sister who is married to a successful man!"
"Alison, I'm sorry; if you wish, I will no longer ask you to take care of Alice!"
"No way! I need the money!"
"I see...believe me I could trade places with you if I could..."
My mother stared blankly for a moment but soon returned to normal; she must have been embarrassed that my aunt envied her so much.
"I'm sorry Eve... I talked too much, did it happen again?"
My aunt gave me a sidelong glance, but I was sharing my treats with Lord Meowington and didn't look back at her right away. My mom also turned to look at me. I cocked my head to the side, not understanding what was going on. Did Alice do something wrong?
"Yes... lately, it's daily... plus the Alice thing..."
"Alex doesn't believe you that you had nothing to do with Alice's powers?"
"I told him a thousand times that I didn't do it but he keeps accusing me of having done it, never! I would never let my baby be exposed to that dangerous serum!"
"Sister and it wasn't Alex who did it?"
"Impossible! It may be a .... but he wouldn't do anything to harm Alice!"
I exchange glances with Lord Meowington, it looks like my mom and aunt's conversation is going on again about bong bong, my fairy.
"Mom I already told you I have no powers it's because of my fairy that I can go anywhere I want"
I held up my hands and made the fairy my brother gave me appear; she is a pink ball with wings; she is very cute and takes me almost anywhere, although she won't let me go to the candy store and the toy store.
My mom and aunt looked at me worriedly.
"No lie I got it from my brother Superhero!"
"Alice there is no super that has the characteristics you described..."
"But!
My mom interrupted, "Bright white hair, eyes that change shades of silver, gold, and blue; he's the handsome brother in the world; he always seems to have a warm aura around him; he's kind and very funny..."
"But..."
My aunt continued, "Alice... the super destroyer deluxe mystical legendary albino brother... doesn't exist..."
I puffed out my cheeks with dissatisfaction. Of course, he exists!
"Besides auntie, you're saying it wrong. They should put heart, THE SUPER DESTROYER DELUXE MYSTICAL LEGENDARY ALBINO BROTHER!!!"
"Meow!!!"
Even Lord Meowington understands my brother's magnificence. However, my aunt and mom's faces were still full of doubt and disbelief.
"Meow..."
Lord Meowington pulled my dress, and as I looked at him, his eyes were fixed on me; it was true!
"Auntie lend me your phone!"
"Alice?"
My aunt hesitated for a moment and looked at my mother, who nodded; they both looked at me curiously. While I searched the news for something I had seen before...mmm it doesn't show up.
"Alice...."
I can't give up, there he is.
"Mom, Aunt Alison, look, he's my brother!"
I showed them a picture of my brother in a bank robbery over a month ago. I smiled satisfied that I had verified my brother's existence.
"Alice!"
"This is true?!"
My mom knelt and grabbed my arms; she had a pale face, and my aunt was no better as she pulled out a phone and started calling someone.
"Yes... he's my brother Allen..."
Before I knew it, my mom did get me in her car... weirdly, she didn't let the butler drive today.
"Alex isn't answering the phone, he must be with his secretary, that lecherous fucker!"
"Sis, what do we do? Go to the police?!"
"No, he's a monster...we need to go to Vought!"
"But they are what crazy people who experimented on children!"
"We have no choice!"
I didn't understand what was going on, but looking at my mom's face, she looked very scared and desperate. I hope nothing bad happened, I hugged Lord Meowington as I cowered in the back seat.
*End of POV*
(A/N: Poor Alice ...)
...
Eve and Alison took Alice to one of Vought's buildings, steering clear of the main Vought tower due to lingering distrust after all the negative news surrounding the company.
Upon arrival, they encountered an awkward meeting. Despite Eve's high social standing, Vought was not a place where she could just walk in and make demands. She entered an office while Alice stayed with Alison.
Alison looked at her sister through the office glass. The conversation seemed endless, but Alison was alarmed when she saw her sister angrily stand up and slam her hand on the table.
Two Vought guards entered the office and restrained Eve.
"Eve?!" Alison stood up furiously. "What are you doing to my sister?!"
"Alison, get Alice out of here!"
Although Alison was worried about her sister, the sight of more guards arriving filled her with fear, and she knew she had to protect Alice.
Upon hearing about little Alice's situation, the manager's first thought was to inform a Vought executive, but before he could, a call came in. He turned pale upon hearing the familiar voice command, "Capture the girl."
Lord Meowington did not leave the women to face their fate alone; he bravely ran and jumped at one of the guards holding Eve. Using his sharp claws, he clawed at the man's face.
"Nice, Lord Meowington!" Alice cheered.
Once free, Eve kicked the second guard and ran off with Alison and Alice. She regretted trusting Vought; it was worse than she had heard—they had no qualms about abducting people.
Fortunately, none of the three were wearing heels, which would have spelled trouble. Alison was dressed in sportswear and sneakers, and Eve was still in her gardening clothes, enabling them to outrun the guards.
However, their luck ran out when a car crashed in front of them as they exited the building, blocking their path.
"So, you have a connection with Allen Walker..." a cold voice said as a young man approached from the right.
"What are you doing, Eve?! we must run!!" Alison cried out, snapping Eve out of her shock as they took off running, terrified by the man's chilling voice.
"Girl, if you run, I'll kill your mother..."
Alice sensed that the young man's threat was serious. Alice instinctively activated her bong bong to teleport in front of the young man.
"Alice!!"
"Don't... touch my mom..." said Alice trembling.
"MEOOOW!! GHHH!!!" Lord Meowington ran to Alice's front defensively.
"I see... this man can not only remove powers but also grant them to others," the young man said coldly, looking at Alice. "I've changed my mind... I can't risk you living!"
He raised his hand toward Alice.
Time seemed to slow as Eve and Alison felt their hearts being torn out.
Andre Anderson showed no mercy as he attacked Alice, despite her being just a small child. In a different world or altered timeline, Andre might have been an enthusiastic young man wanting to follow in his father Polarity's footsteps as a hero. However, in this distorted or corrupted world, his mind had been shaped by Stan Edgar into a ruthless killer.
Alice clung to Lord Meowington, who never stopped staring hostilely at Andre, a brave cat who had protected his owner from start to finish.
Alice didn't understand why this was happening to her. What had she done wrong?
She recalled the last time she was this frightened—when she saw her parents fighting for the first time. She had been so scared she didn't know what to do.
"Alice, Mom, and Dad aren't angry; this is just how they show their love,"
Her father had tried to reassure her and she chose to believe his words because it was better to live in delusion than to face the harsh reality.
But during her visits to Allen's, she never saw him yell or curse like her parents did. She didn't see him get angry about anything; she didn't see him throw things around the house, and she didn't see the women who lived with him cry after a fight. They all loved him and he loved them. His home was always warm and comforting, making her wish she could live there, though she couldn't leave her parents who, despite their tumultuous relationship, still loved her.
Part of her young heart knew the truth, but she refused to accept it.
"Girl, remember this is your fault for having a friendship with a villain..."
Without mercy, André ripped off a road sign and crushed the tip into a spear, he aimed and fired the metal arrow at Alice before she could teleport away.
"ALICE NOOO!!!"
The metal arrow sliced through the air with a deadly whistle.
"Brother..."
"Dismantle..."
The arrow was cut in half before it could touch a single hair on Alice and Lord Meowington.
...
"Meow!~"
Alice opened her eyes to find herself in Allen's arms, who looked disdainfully at the bad man.
Felicia – That's Andre Anderson from The Boys Gen V, just like Golden Boy and Cate. His power... he can control metal.
"Thank you, but I don't care about that..." Allen's gaze was fixed on the young man of color standing coldly in front of him. "He made a very serious mistake..."
Andre squinted his eyes, recognizing Allen immediately, and sneered.
"As expected, you show up now to save the girl. I did the right thing by trying to eliminate her..."
"Shut up," Allen muttered, exerting a small amount of pressure in the atmosphere but quickly calming down as there were still people around.
"Why are you here, brother?!"
Allen sighed and ruffled Alice's hair.
"Stop that!" Alice laughed.
Not far away, Eve and Alison watched in disbelief; their little Alice had been saved by the terrifying villain from the news, yet he was neither terrifying nor a villain—at least not to them, as he had saved Alice.
"Allen Walker, you've been a thorn in Mr. Edgar's side for too long!!"
Andre used his ability to lift several cars around him.
"I told you to shut up..."
The ground opened beneath Andre, and he fell through. Allen looked at Alice sternly.
"Why didn't you use bong bong?"
Alice lowered her head. "Sorry, I got scared..."
Seeing the regretful look in Alice's eyes, Allen couldn't scold her.
Bong bong is a highly useful artifact from a manhwa titled "Tower of God," often used by Princess Androssi Zahard. Its utility far surpasses pendants, but it is tied to the user's will.
Allen hadn't expected Alice to be so terrified that she couldn't think of escaping. Fortunately, Allen had modified the bong to alert him if Alice was in real danger. However, he hadn't anticipated its first activation would be because a Vought supe was attacking her.
Allen began to feel annoyed with Andre Anderson; young as he might be, that didn't excuse him from attacking a little girl.
Allen looked at Alice's mother and aunt, who must have been terrified by what had happened.
The ground began to shake, and Allen became alert.
Andre had directly used an enhanced version of Compound V to boost his ability, essentially becoming a younger version of Magneto in this world.
The crowd had already dispersed, but Alison and Eve had not moved, concerned that Alice was still in Allen's arms.
"Take them away!" Allen ordered.
2B and Artoria appeared to escort the women.
"No, wait, Alice!" Eve cried, wanting Artoria to let her go, but she gave her a comforting look.
"Don't worry, your daughter is in the safest place on Earth..."
"What?..." Eve looked at Alice, still with Allen, as the ground cracked and pipes meant to carry water were ripped from the ground and buildings.
"You think this will defeat me?!" shouted André. He emerged from the ground as metal tubes swirled around him.
Gwen – It's strange how a person can change so much...
Diana – As I understand it, he was supposed to be a young man who, though not perfect, was not a degenerate.
MJ – Andre Anderson had a short life and an unjust death; he wasn't perfect, but he doesn't resemble this maniac.
Allen held Alice and looked indifferently at Andre. "Don't do it, you know the outcome of this!"
"Shut up. Mr. Edgar did say we shouldn't face you, but I won't let you do as you please! Vought saved me, Mr. Edgar saved me! If I have to die for him, so be it!" Andre declared, influenced by brainwashing.
Allen thought for a moment about how to proceed and then remembered that he had Stormfront power. As static electricity began to surround them. This power was not electrokinesis but plasma manipulation. So, how could he use his power to generate electricity?
"Alice, do you trust me?" Allen asked seriously, looking at Andre.
Alice smiled. "Of course!"
"Meow!"
Allen smiled and shifted Alice to hang from his shoulder while Lord Meowington sat on his other.
"Brother?"
"Sorry, Alice, I need both hands free."
"I've been thinking about how to generate electrokinesis from plasma... and I came up with a virtual plasma discharge device."
Plasma discharge devices use plasma to directly convert thermal energy into electrical energy without moving parts. An example is the Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) converter, which leverages the conductive properties of plasma.
"Don't regret this, Andre Anderson..." Allen gave Andre a look that chilled him to the bone. For a moment, Andre broke free from the illusion that he could defeat Allen, but it was too late. Allen pulled out a dollar coin, "As plasma passes through a magnetic field, an electrical flow is induced that can be captured and used..."
The electromagnetic field around Allen grew heavier. Andre ceased his attack and desperately used the pipes to create a shield in front of him.
Allen tossed the coin into the air as it attracted the electricity converging in the electromagnetic field.
"If your target had been me... the outcome would be different... but attacking little Alice... don't expect mercy."
Andre, behind the metal wall, felt the need to run.
Time stopped again as Allen hit the coin with one of his fingers.
"Railgun"
In an instant, a trail of light pierced the air, and the metal shield was like a sheet of paper as it was penetrated by the coin.
The incredulous look on Andre's face as he saw the hole in his iron and metal shield mirrored his shock. His eyes met Allen's.
'What happened?... I was facing Allen Walker... but I can't feel my fingers, my legs, and above all, I can't activate my power.' Andre could not believe it.
'Why can I see him through twenty tons of iron and metal? This shield was supposed to be indestructible... huh? I was supposed to be stronger... I trained to push my powers to the limit, I used Compound V to enhance them further... I could have lifted a building if I wanted... but why did I lose so easily... Am I weak? No, that man is a monster...'
Slowly, Andre's consciousness faded as he fell to the ground, a huge hole gaping in his body.
Allen had covered Alice's eyes and prepared to leave. But before doing so, his eyes gleamed.
[Skill Acquired: Electromagnetism Manipulation]
===
A/N: Andre was a character with potential as his power was very good; too bad that in both worlds, he died so fast.
PS: Lord Meowington is the MVP!
