Bab 16: Revelations Part 1
Last time on A New Life in the Arrowverse, our hero was pulled in by the D.E.O. and questioned about the attack on civilians that he witnessed, little do they know that he did more than witness things. What will our hero do next I wonder.
------------------------------------------------------------
To say Alex was stunned would have been the understatement of the year, her jaw was practically on the floor. It took a few minutes before Alex's brain rebooted, and then just as Alex was about to bombard Isaac with questions, he cut her off.
"Patience Alex, first let's go somewhere more private and please bring that grump Henshaw along, I'd hate to repeat myself." Isaac shooed Alex off and claimed one of the agents' chairs while he waited for her to get back. The lobby was a buzz with bustling agents, running from one desk to the next, clearly something had happened. As the agents moved about, Isaac thought about how he had gotten here. He knew that there had probably been evidence of him at the scene when the Alien agent had launched his attack, he had been in too much of a rush at the time.
Afterwards, Isaac could have cleaned everything up with his newly acquired AI, but he had honestly been pretty bored for a while. Isaac knew that until the Particle Accelerator blew, canon would be relatively boring for him, there weren't any challenging villains to fight yet. However, he figured that if he made a deal with Alex and Henshaw, off the record of course, he'd be able to fight some interesting aliens for them while still keeping his identity secure.
"Dr. Queen, please follow me." Henshaw grumbled, his voice low and rough, and took off towards an isolated room down a long hallway as Alex followed behind them both. Henshaw unlocked a door to the right and let Alex and him in, the room was set up like a high-tech interrogation room, it even had the classic 2way mirror. Isaac made himself comfy in the seat opposite him, the one where the cops usually sat, at least according to all the police dramas he'd seen in his past life. If the look Henshaw was giving him was any indication, those TV shows were right. Before her boss could blow a gasket Alex asked the question she had been dying to ask since Isaac first revealed that he was the reason more people didn't die during the Alien's attack.
"Dr. Queen please explain what you meant when you said you saved those people in the street during the attack?" Alex asked gently, as if trying to coax the answer out of him. Isaac looked up at her, his head shaking bemusedly.
"First of all, you can call me Isaac. Secondly did you all even bother investigating the source of the attack? You have all this equipment and yet you couldn't track a terrorist that wasn't even trying to hide. I expected you to at least know where the attack took place from. Before I go any further 'Omnem Custodias Hic' (destroy all surveillance here)." Isaac's hand glowed electric blue with hints of black within it. Suddenly multiple electric sparks rang out all across the room, some even on Henshaw, Alex, and surprisingly even on Isaac himself. Henshaw was the first to react, his gun out of his holster even before his mind had processed the action, Alex was only a step behind him. Even with both guns trained on him, Isaac couldn't help but smirk at their reaction, they had no clue just how useless that gun really was against him. He thought a taste of what he could do might help them understand not to fuck with him, so with a flick of his hand their guns were ripped from their hands and sent flying. Before Alex or Henshaw could react, Isaac's hands glowed again and they were sent flying into the wall behind them, pinned off the ground unable to move. Isaac rose from his seat and faced the two agents, his hands clapping.
"Bravo, just bravo, to you both. Director Henshaw, your reaction time is impressive, almost superhuman, well done. But you Agent Danvers, you were truly wonderful, managing to slip a bug on me is no easy task whatsoever, truly impressive. Just so there are no misunderstandings, all of this was just to make a few points crystal clear. I am not someone to fuck around with, I can either be a great resource in difficult times or I could destroy you, hell I wouldn't even need my powers to do that. Alex, while I can admire the skill it took to slip that bug on me, do it again and we will have problems, do I make myself clear?" Isaac demanded. When Alex didn't respond, her eyes still wide in shock, Isaac increased the pressure on her chest before asking again. Then she nodded.
"As for you Director Henshaw I hope this demonstrates to you to be careful with how you treat people, you never know if one of them might just be able to kick your ass. Now that all of this unpleasantness is out of the way, let's get down to why we are here." After he said that, the two fell unceremoniously to the ground whilst he sat back down. The two agents struggled to catch their breath and took a few minutes to compose themselves, when they did Isaac could see the difference in their eyes when they looked at him. 'Good' he thought, it was best that they were cautious around him, he had worked hard to be as dangerous as he was, it wouldn't do to have people looking down on him after all that.
Once the two agents were seated across from him, Isaac recounted what exactly happened during the Alien's assault, although he did leave out a few key details (like the AI, the ship, and Blackfire). Isaac even told them where he left the body, in case they wanted to check it out themselves, to which they hinted they would. After the story was told, and the agents had finished taking their notes, Alex asked a question that had been weighing on her mind.
"Are you an alien too, is that how you were able to throw us against the wall and take out that armored one?" Isaac noted a bit of concern in her eyes but that was overshadowed by the sheer curiosity there, he took a moment and thought over his answer.
"No Alex, I am not an Alien, not that I think being one is inherently a problem. My gift is very different, I was born with the ability to use magic. I'm a wizard Alex." Isaac laughed at his little nod to Harry Potter, though from the slight upturn of Alex's lips, Isaac knew she picked up on it.
"So magic is real? Do you use wands and potions and wear those weird hats?" Alex wondered.
"Yes Alex, magic is real, and some magic users do use wands. Though they are usually only used either because the magic user is too weak and needs the extra kick they can provide, or they want it for stylistic purposes. I do not use or have any need for a wand, as far as potions go, they do exist and are quite useful when brewed by a knowledgeable mage. As for those dreadful hats, thankfully they do not exist and if someone ever tries to make them a thing, they will die a very painful death." Isaac added dramatically.
Isaac turned towards Director Henshaw and asked if he had any additional questions for him, noting how quiet the man had been.
"Why did you decide to tell us? By all accounts you probably could have delt with the security cameras and come up with a convincing story as to why you left, hell maybe you could even make us forget that we found anything. So why did you choose to reveal yourself to us?" Isaac had to give it to Henshaw, that was the right question to ask.
"I was bored." Isaac answered nonchalantly. Alex and Henshaw both looked at each other confused by what they heard.
"Can you repeat that, I'm sure I heard you wrong." Henshaw asked. Isaac nodded and gave his answer again.
"I was bored." Henshaw dropped his face into his hands and gave out an audible sigh, while Alex slapped her hand on her forehead, annoyed. Isaac let out a silent chuckle at that sight. Henshaw was the first to gather himself together, though his face held a sense of exhaustion that hadn't been there before. Isaac hoped it wasn't because of him, honest.
"Dr. Queen, are you telling us that the entire reason for your presence here is because you are bored?" Henshaw asked tiredly.
"Yep. You have to understand something Agents, while I have plenty of things to occupy my mind, I have nothing to challenge me physically or even make me expend much of my power and that has left me quite unsatisfied. So, imagine my surprise when as I was hacking into the government servers, I came across an intelligence organization that delt solely with extraterrestrial threats and that there were quite a few of them here on Earth already. It was like Christmas came early." Isaac said cheerfully.
"Siiigh" Isaac couldn't hold back his laugh as both agents fell back against their chairs and sighed at the same time. Alex recovered before Isaac had finished laughing and was forced to wait for him to stop before asking her question, which he did moments later.
"So, what is it exactly that you would like us to do about your "boredom" Isaac? I don't think you came here without a plan… you didn't, did you?" Alex questioned somewhat concerned.
"I do have a plan, well more like an outline of a plan, anyways don't worry I'm not going about this blind. I figure you all have an alien problem and I have an issue with boredom, so why not team up? I could be a consultant and take care of any threat you guys have, it would keep you both from needing to risk your agents lives constantly. My only non-negotiable rule is that I am kept off the books and that you tell no one who I actually am, simple right?" Alex and Henshaw looked at each other and then excused themselves, Isaac assumed they went outside to talk his amazing deal over.
After about 20 minutes both agents came back in and accepted Isaac's proposal, though there was a lot to negotiate over, which is what they did for over an hour.
"So, is this agreeable to you Dr. Queen?" Henshaw asked tiredly. Isaac looked over the paper they had written everything on and read through it one more time. The agreement basically said that the D.E.O., on a case-by-case basis, would hire Isaac to deal with any threat that popped up, with the right to turn them down if he wanted. The D.E.O. also gave Isaac first crack at any alien tech he helped recover; he also got them to agree that he could look at any Alien DNA samples recovered.
The last item they agreed on was that only Henshaw and Alex would know his identity and that no records would be kept about him or his abilities. They also agreed that there would be no DNA samples taken from Isaac and that if they did get any, for whatever reason, it would be destroyed immediately. Once Isaac finished reading, he waved his hand over the contract and thought 'Pacta Sunt' (Agreement must be kept), to ensure the contract would be kept. After warning Alex and Henshaw about the magical repercussions he attached to the contract, if either side broke it, they all signed it.
"Ok! With that our business is complete and I'm gonna get out of here, I still have a lot to do today. Before I go let me leave you with my secure number, give me a call whenever there's a case and I'll be here in no time." Isaac said. After leaving his number he simply vanished. Outside his hotel room, Isaac reappeared a second later and walked in. The first thing he saw when he entered his living room was Blackfire, alone on the couch in front of the TV, wearing practically nothing.
Blackfire, clad in only a green crop-top and a matching set of lace panties, turned to see him and gave him a devilish smirk. Isaac said a quick hello before he opened the door to his room and checked on Kara. Seeing her still steeping form, Isaac gently closed the door and sat down next to Blackfire.
"I just left a meeting with a government agency about the alien that was hunting you, I told them what happened, minus a few details. They know that there was a separate peaceful alien involved that was being hunted and have agreed to leave you be. Obviously, they don't know about you specifically, I was adamant about that, so they have no idea what you look like. All I need to do is get you some papers and an ID and you'll be able to move about freely, just be careful and don't use your powers in public please, not unless your identity is protected. Okay?" Isaac pleaded. Blackfire, touched by his concern could only nod her head in agreement as a tear made its way down her cheek. She whispered out a quick thank you and ran to her room, Isaac couldn't help but watch as her plump ass jiggled as she left.
Isaac shook his head and went to wake Kara up realizing she probably had work. After healing and waking her up, Kara upon realizing the time ran into the shower to get ready for work. Unfortunately, a horny Isaac kept her delayed and extra 30 minutes, although she enjoyed it immensely. After Kara got dressed and headed off to work Isaac called his agent and set up time in the studio to work on some music. 20 minutes later he was in a recording booth a block or two away from the CatCo building, with so many songs not existing in this world Isaac had his pick of hits to use for himself.
For almost 5 hours that was all Isaac did and with a little help from the studio staff Isaac had another completed mixtape 10 songs long. With songs like 'As long as You Love Me', 'Sorry', 'Before You Go', Someone You Loved', and several others hits from his old-world Isaac knew his mixtape would be huge. As he walked out of the studio, an explosion shook the ground, and caused several car alarms to go off. Isaac looked around and saw smoke billowing into the sky not far from him somehow, he just knew that this was connected to Kara and after casting a few spells to protect his identity, he vanished.
Isaac reappeared in front of the CatCo building and it looked terrible, windows were smashed and there was fire coming from multiple floors. People ran out of the building in droves screaming, many of which had injuries ranging in severity, Isaac knew he had to get inside fast. Based on the flashes of bright red light quickly followed by explosions of various sizes, the attacker was still inside. Isaac faced the crowd of injured people and casted a quick spell to amplify his voice.
"Everyone, please I need your attention for one moment. I know you are all scared and many of you are injured, I can't change what has happened here, but I can deal with whoever did this to you all. But before I can do that, I need everyone who was injured to stand in a group so I can help heal you, please move quickly." Isaac pleaded. At first people were slow to move but after Isaac blasted up some fireworks people started moving much faster. Soon enough, all the injured were in one group so Isaac went through with his plan.
"Ok everyone I'm going to make this space an area of healing, don't ask how just know it will work, so long as you do not leave this space you will be healed, please do not leave this area until you are fully healed. If you aren't sure whether or not you are, then just stay put just to be safe. Now let's begin Locus Sanitatem (Place of Healing)!" Isaac chanted aloud. He hoped that saying his spell out loud convinced people that something was actually happening. The green glow that surrounded the area helped silence any doubt, with the healing taken care of Isaac teleported inside the building, directly to Cat's office.
Without making a sound Isaac reappeared, his back against her wall of TV's facing the open door to the main office that looked like a tornado had struck it. Isaac walked around the desk in front of him and moved quickly through the office looking for any survivors. After a few minutes Isaac got lucky and found a few of Cat's employees that were huddled together, terrified but uninjured, in a supply closet. He questioned them for a few minutes about everything that had happened and where they thought other people might be hiding.
Afterwards he opened a portal to the other survivors outside for them and rushed them through, once they were through Isaac continued his search. With the locations he got from the scared employees, Isaac at least had a few places to start his search this time, he knew that time was of the essence. As the minutes ticked by Isaac finally had some luck and located two separate groups of survivors, each group just as terrified as the last. Unfortunately, neither Kara nor Cat were in either group, as Isaac moved on to search another location, he heard a resounding explosion that shook the floor.
Isaac ran towards the noise and finally got a glimpse of the person responsible for all of the destruction and death that had taken place. Isaac recognized the man too, from his past life, it was a villain he had seen Supergirl fight early in her career, Isaac couldn't much about him.
"Pic Here"
"So, you couldn't make an appointment like everyone else?" he asked the villain flippantly. The gold and black armored figure turned towards Isaac and laughed as his whole body started to glow an intense deep red that gave Isaac some pause.
"You're not who I was expecting but it's nice to see that some rats are still alive, I'd hate for all of my fun to be over so soon. Please, die painfully for me." No sooner had the villain said that then he lashed out with a red energy blast from his hand. The blast moved faster than Isaac suspected, but he was still able to wrap his magic around his hand and slapped the blast back at him.
The black and gold cladded man stood right where he was and took the blast to his chest, to say Isaac was a little shocked would be an understatement. Isaac was more than a little surprised that the man had not even attempted to dodge the blast but once the smoke cleared, he understood. Standing there perfectly unharmed, with not a scratch on his suit, was the villainess Black and Goldman.
Isaac chuckled to himself at his name for the villain, it sounded like a law firm with a Jewish named partner, or an investment firm (Goldman Sachs 😉).
"So, aren't you gonna do the typical villain intro? You know where you tell us your super scary villain name and your equally scary master plan. It's kind of rude to start the fight without doing that, it's just proper supervillain etiquette after all." Isaac said admonishingly. If the guy had not worn his mask Isaac would have sworn that, at that moment, he was looking at him like he was crazy.
"You got some balls on you man, who the fuck are you?" Isaac heard the incredulity in the villain's voice and smiled, it felt good confusing people.
"I thought we agreed that it was only polite that I get your name, social, and your cool super villain end game." Without warning Goldman fired another blast, even stronger than the last. Isaac just slapped it back again, although it took a little more effort than the last time. Goldman just laughed at the returning blast, probably thinking Isaac was slow considering what happened the last time, he wasn't concerned. The blast shook the room when it detonated, a yell of pain rang out not a moment later and Isaac just smiled. When the smoke cleared Goldman was clear across the room, he had been blown through a wall, his suit noticeable damaged.
"Arrr! You little shit, you're not quite as stupid as you look. Sending that blast to the floor right in front of me, clever, I'm gonna have to kill you slowly now but still, not bad. My name, for the record, is Reactron, as far as evil super villain plans, I'm just here to cause some chaos and I heard that a particular goody two shoes Kryptonian was hiding out in this city, I wanted to come say hi. So, you ready to die?"
