Chapter 1: Chapter 1 - I've Got A Chocolate Factory!
"So, The Presence wants me to become Willy Wonka? ...Why?" Two people were sitting in a field of neon green grass that covered the land right next to a thick brown river, The river gave off a thick scent of chocolate while the breeze through the grass released a refreshing minty scent. They both sat under a tree that gre apples that were both shiny and had a light golden covering, they were caramel apples growing on a tree with cinnamon bark.
"Well, not Willy Wonka specifically! Some rotten person came along and threw some Unbihexium into this DC universe, In the most universe this would not be a problem; The magic of the DC universe interaced with this Unbihexium, which originally didn't exist, and granted it a lot of magical properties. So he wants someone to come along and keep it out of the hands of the likes of Lex Luthor and The Penguin and Joker, and He doesn't want to create a new person himself or they will have to be in all his other universes which... well.... they are not needed in."
"So, he's having you Reincarnate me to keep a hold of it and you want me to be Willy Wonka? Did I get that right?" Said the 'Soon to be Willy Wank' who was currently Chewing on some of the Mint Flavored Grass, it seemed to inflate into a minty and Crunch foam when it mixed with his saliva, almost light a lighter and airier chees puff. "Yeah, pretty much! And I thought you would enjoy and understand being a candy maker!"
"Now that I think about it, It doesn't sound too bad! But I have a question, can-" He was interrupted before he could finish, it was then finished for him by the other entity."Can you make magic candy, yes in both senses! There is nothing 'Legally' stopping you, and you will be a Homo-magi! And between you and me, there are no rules set saying you couldn't use Element 126. Your magic can actually interact with it and process it for all kinds of cool effects~!"
This caused both of them to smile as they had the same ideas. The Human held their hand out to the entity which appeared to be made out of candy, they shook hands as a whirlpool appeared in the chocolate river. "If you want to view paradise~" "Just brew a candy for it!" "If you need to beat Superman "Kryptonite Gum can do it!" They both sang together as the human stood up, walking backward toward the river to keep looking at the candy man. The human stopped right at the edge of the river bank, the whirlpool just a bit away from him. He spoke as he did a flourishing bow: "Ladies and gentlemen, Boys and girls; Hold your breath," "Make a wish," "Count to three!" and with that, as he held his bowing posture, he fell backward into the chocolate whirlpool with a giant grin on his face.
"Should I have told him the business was already magically set up for him? Nah, I'm sure it will be fine, except when people realize the factory literally appeared out of thin air... legally everything is fine tho, so nothing they can do in the law!" The man made of candy stood up with a smile and walked towards a castle also made of candy. Was the castle mode of flesh, or his flesh mad of the Castle? Yes, and he was fine with it, it's not cannibalism if it's yourself... right?

"Man, this factory is far larger than I thought, and I already thought it was going to be large. I mean, if you add the Sqaur Footage of this entire factory and all its floor, well, it has to be more than a mile! Good thing my 'Oompa Loompas' are magically possessed Golems and not actual people, I don't have to worry about slave labor laws or anything like that!" I whipped some nonexistent sweat from my head before putting my hat back on, I stopped leaning on my cane and began walking again.
I walked down the large corridor with enthusiasm, stopping at a door that was flushed perfectly with the wall to the point no separation could be seen, it looked to be an instant shift of material from a shiny metal concrete to a wooden arch. With a snap of William's fingers, a light cloud of Purple and Gold sparks appeared at my fingertips; The same Purple and Gold sparks appeared at the door lock, that had no door handle, as it magically opened itself.
As I walked into the door a hand above it grabbed his hat for me, I also took off my purple coat and placed it on a weird-looking coat rack. The room he walked into looked like a mix between a mad scientist's and Alchemist's Lab combined, in the middle back looked like a meteorite of ore if you replaced the stone with pure gold and the 'ore' with what looked like amethyst.
"Let's see what I can do with you today, my sweet Eka-plutonium." The 'Mad Confectioner' sang as I took a seat on his swiveling chair, I rolled over to the meteor and the contraption that held it. It was held in an air-tight and temper-restrictive box of a see-through material, it was being filled in with two big canisters of liquid helium. Inside was a perfect vacuum that left only the helium and Metior in it. Despite the cold temperatures the amethyst-looking crystal actually started to melt, becoming a bluish viscous liquid with golden specs.
The liquid crystal floated to the bottom of the tank and got sucked up by something, while the helium got recycled into some other canisters the crystal shot off through a clear tube. I followed the tube as it was almost dispensed into a barrel, I changed the tube's direction for a short bit and redirected it into a glass beaker. I slowly released the vacuum to the outer surroundings as the crystal stayed liquid, I took the beaker away and stared into its sparkling blue form.
"Hmm, what can I do with you? I don't have a lot of unique materials to use with you at the moment, so I have to think simply. Oooh, How about I make a Basic recipe with you that can then be tweaked to have all kinds of abilities when I have the stuff needed? How about a gumball, let's start with some basic physical boost types." I began mixing and heating a bunch of ingredients, splitting off pieces of the Liquid crystal, and testing multiple recipes. I started off with getting the basic recipe good enough, testing it on myself when it had only lime flavor.
"Well, not the greatest tasting gum I've had. But I've come out with two recipes, I could probably recreate Number 1 without my special ingredient and create neverending Gum. The other one, it gets harder the more you chew it, That is probably best for superpower gum. Both, however, lose their taste when you stop chewing it for a bit, I can take advantage of that! For marketing, I can make a bunch of unique flavors. I'll call them 'Willy Wonka's Wunderballs' [Vunder-Valls], and I'll call the Superpower ones 'Wunderballs-X'. Right now I can make some weaker strength, Speed, and Flexibility Enhancements."
I got up from my chair and wildly ran to the other side of the room, dodging my tables. I grabbed a few ingredients and ran back, sitting down with my ingredients splayed across the table I had: Taurine, Powdered Cicada, and Caffeine; Creatine, Powdered Egg Shells, and Glutamine; Specialised Gelitine, Powdered Snake, and booza. I then grabbed a special miniaturized gumball-making machine,
I started mixing the gathered ingredients into the Gum mixture and then making a basic batch of three gumballs each.
"Three Strength, Three speed, and Three flexibility. I don't have unique flavors set up for them, but that can come later, I want to try some of these effects." I Grabbed one of the left batches, chewing on it for a bit, i then suddenly Bulked up, huge muscles as I looked at myself. I then grabbed a steel beam and tried to bend it with my hand, it took a lot of effort but I did so. "Okay, turn down to Glutamine and increase the Eggshells, I want super strength not inflated muscles."
I spit out the gum and then shook my hand, my hair ruffled as purple and gold sparks cascaded over my cartoonishly inflated muscles, I suddenly deflated and returned to normal. I then grabbed the middle one and took a chomp at it. My hair then stood up on its ends as I started vibrating, I tried to speak but my vibration messed up my voice a bit: "O-o-o-o-ok-a-a-ay! T-t-t-t-turn downnnn Th-h-h-he Caffein-in-in-ine and Cic-c-c-cada, I'mmmm generating m-m-m-more st-t-t-t-tatic then sp-p-p-peed"
I suddenly sneezed and shot the gum out onto the table, a puff of Purple and gold sparkles puffed out of my whole body, small bits of electricity flying between them as I returned back to normal. I grabbed one from the last batch and chewed on it, chewing it like all the others, without worry or care. I looked normal and nothing seemed to change, I raised my eyebrow as I brought my arm up to my face. I used my free hand to try and bend it, my forearm bent like it had no bones and then flopped around a bit before reverting.
"Huh, not that bad, I just need to use a bit less than increase the gelatine to focus on the ligament. Probably the best one out of them all. These are pretty good to start off with, but how will I market these superpowered ones? I can't really sell them in my shops or everything will go crazy!" I said this as I twisted my body like a rag, releasing as I unwound and turned back to normal with a flutter of Purple and gold dust.
I sat back in my chair and rolled three of the different gumballs in between my fingers, leaving only three on the table. I then held them in the spaces between my fingers, just enough to hold all three; I then looked at the space between my finger and thumb with a squint and then a smile as I remembered classic gumball machines. "I'll only sell Wunderballs in gumball machines, as for the Magical ones. Well, I'll gift some people a free trial with a specail coin in it. They can then use that magical coin on one of my Wunderball machines and get a Wunderball-X, as for how they would get new coins, well.... that can be worked out later. NOW, time to make some Gum!"
I stood up and clapped my hands, a few dozen short humanoid creatures walked into my room and began grabbing barrels of the special ingredient. I then grabbed my notepad and wrote down a revised recipe and handed it to one of the leading Oompa Loopmas. "Now, we only need to make a few hundred dozen of these, these will be special order, got it!" The Oompa Loopa saluted and grabbed the note before walking out with a bit of a march. "Now let's get ready for the revealing of my new candy! And I need to work out the right place and time to reveal my magical candies."

"Ughh, I know Bruce is suspicious of these new candy shops, I don't blame him. A lot of people are, But I don't get why I've to watch it all Night for 3 Days!" A man in a blue and black skintight suit, some people could even equate it to a Leotard, sat on the edge of the roof of one of Gothem's MANY buildings. He had a pair of binoculars up to his eyes as he twirled one of his sticks around, he put down the binoculars and used his now free hand to hold up a flat rectangle; it was a Wonka Bar.
"Well, he tested it and didn't find anything weird in it, so it should be fine. This is just, research, yeah! Definitely not because I've heard a lot of good things about it and really want to try it." He unwrapped the Wonka bar and caught a weird coin fall out of it, One side had a round bubble-like imprint with a big 'W' in the center. On top of it, curving with the outer edge was written: 'William Wonder's Wunderballs'; on the bottom, mirroring the top, it was written: 'A magic at the toss of a coin'. He flipped the coin over and it had an imprint of the silhouette of a person's Side profile; it was from the neck up and had a tall top hat. There was written in the same font and style as on the back but the words were different; on top, it said: 'Willy Wonka's', and on the bottom, it said: 'Wonder Factory'.
"No one talked about this point before, it must be a prize of some sort... Lucky me!" He put the coins into one of his free belt pouches that were used for random small items, he then went back to the chocolate and broke off a piece before popping it in his mouth. His eyes widened a bit as he took another piece. "Wow, it's really good! I can see what all the hype is about! I expected it to be Overflowing with sugar but no, it was actually really balanced!"
He turned the bar over to its back and read the ingredient list carefully, sure some of the Ingredients sounded fake and nonsensical like 'Delicium', but the stuff that did make sense wasn't too bad. "Wow, some of these are actual medicinal herbs that can be ingested. It definitely won't beat actual medicine or a good diet, but you definitely won't get sick from it and you could eat it while you sick without much worry."
He ate about half of the chocolate before he remembered he had a job to do, he brought up his binoculars to watch the shop, and just in time as a group of robbers started to break it. He quickly folded the end of the chocolate bar and closed it, placing it in his pouch and cleaning up any chocolate that might have gotten on his face. He then grabbed out his grappling gun and made his way towards the old-timey candy store.

"Well, that was easy. I guess that's a good thing, but I was hoping for something interesting tonight." Just as he said that one of the machines turned on and played a Jingle: "Turn the crank, hear the sound, Wunderballs are spinning 'round! Pick your power, one and all, It's magic wrapped in every ball! Strength, speed, or twist with ease, Wunderballs do as you please!"
It came from an old-timey-looking Gumball Vending machine. It had a glass ball at the top with a red rectangular pullar holding it, on top of it was a metal figure in the head of a Raven. Right under the Glass ball, in big bold letters and a fancy font, it said 'Wunderballs'. Below that was a 25 Cent Symbol, above the Ravens head its said 'Twist of fate', and in the space right above the gumballs and below the raven it was written 'Wonder's Coin'.
He quickly looked around and made sure no one was there, after checking that the coast was clear he got closer to the gumball machine and tapped the glass ball. "Hopefully this turning on doesn't cause me any trouble... But, since I'm here, I might as well try one! It won't hurt since I'm still paying!" He reached into his spare pouch and pulled out a few loose coins.
He placed in a few coins, and three gumba- 'Wunderballs' came out of the Obvois gumball hole, but then realized one of the coins he grabbed from his pouch wasn't a Quarter. It weighed the same and had the same size but had different images on it. "Huh, I forgot about that.... was it made for this machine?" He placed the coin in and twisted the crank, suddenly the eyes of the raven glowed as the gumballs inside started flying and swirling for a few seconds before returning to normal.
"Need to dash? You're moving slow? Zoom Chew's here, it's time to go! Chew it fast, you'll blur right through, With Zoom Chew, there's nothing you can't do!" A little Jingle plays as the bird's mouth opens instead and a Unique Wunderball comes out, it is light blue with golden orange swirled in a bit, on its 'face' there was a circle that encompassed Herme's slipper and lighting that was painted in white.
"One part of me is saying that this is a really bad idea, the other part is saying 'Do it Do it Do it'... I think I'll listen to the Latter." He placed the three gumballs into a new pouch and grabbed the 'Zoom Chew' Gumball, he popped it in his mouth and started chewing. He felt normal, feeling a bit disappointed that nothing seemed to happen. It tasted like a non-tart Blueberry mixed with a bit of honey.
He left the building, dragging the thugs out and placing them on the street corner. He at first didn't notice anything different, that was until he came across some birds that were moving oddly slow. He approached them and they flew away, but too slow to actually produce flight, yet they flew anyway because time does not care about what humans think is impossible.
Nightwing then looked at his watch and counted, then realized the world had slowed down, no, he had sped up. He gained super speed. '"....WHAT THE FU-"

"Batman, we have a problem!" A woman typed away at her computer, an earpiece on as she looked through many MANY different windows, she sat in a wheelchair as she analyzed some data she just got and had a look that was a mix between worried and 'So fucking done with this shit'.
"What kind of problem are we talking about, Oracle?" A man stood in the dark on top of a tall building in the city of Gotham, they brooded darkly over the equally dark city, concealed in darkness. The suit was darkly covered in darkness, as its dark leather and/or latex and/or unknown material blended them into the darkness... darkly.
"The 'Dick probably did something stupid and now had super speed' kind of problem." The women responded to the dark brooding man. He just took a deep breath before letting out a long tired sigh, clearly not the first time something like this happened, or a situation close enough. "I'll be right there."
