Basically I pulled a couple of pictures from one of my favorite comic!

THEM – ERE THE NIGHT FALLS

 

Thinned out streets were slowly growing full as the sun inched toward the horizon's end. Among the fervent populace adorned in tanned skins and loose clothes, walking hand in hand, Emma and Jared were moving eastward through the city's main street, directly next to the beach. Some ways off, Jared spotted the lonesome pier sticking out and felt his heart freeze for a moment.

"Where did Aya and Ty disappear off to this morning anyway?" Emma asked.

"He told me she wanted to go to the city over the mountain for a day," Jared said an already pre-planned lie. "She has family or friend or something there."

"Oh? She didn't mention anything to me."

"… y-yeah, weird, right?"

"There's a lot of people though," she said as she bumped shoulder with a passerby. "I can barely see anything in front of me."

"Well, it's almost the end of the season," Jared said. "Everyone and their mother is trying to squeeze in the last few days of rest before going back to real world."

"Oh right, I almost forgot!!" Emma suddenly exclaimed as she reached into her purse and took out a silver, fish necklace. "I saw it this morning, and I just had to buy it for you. Look, look, fish is shaped like J!! It's so adorable!"

"Ha ha ha, yeah, yeah it is," Jared said as he took the necklace and inspected it for a moment. "You're not asking me to wear it though, right? I mean, I like fish and all—yup, I'll wear it. I'm wearing it, stop glaring at me like that."

"I knew you were gonna love it!"

"Yeah, I do, I really do. Ugh, my feet are killing me, let's rest here for a little while." Jared suddenly exclaimed as the two left the crowd and stepped onto the pier.

"Feet are killing you? You? A guy who can lift a car with one hand and kill Batman with the other?"

"Oi! Don't ever say I can even touch Batman ever again! That's just disrespectful!"

"… I'm complimenting you here." Emma said.

"Not at the expense of the greatest superhero ever!"

"… fine, you can't kill the Batman."

"Exactly." Jared said, nodding as the two reached the edge of the pier; sun had nearly sunk below the distant horizon, its burning hues reflected on the wavy ocean beneath.

"Wow, it's beautiful," Emma said as wind fluttered her hair backward, causing her to fix it by pulling it behind her ear. "Let's take a selfie. It can be our new profile pic!"

"Em'," Jared said, his tone both nervous and serious. "We can, uh, take the selfie, uh, later."

"Oh." Emma exclaimed softly as her eyes shone with understanding. "Right. Of course. Later, yeah."

"So, uh, you've… you've probably figured it out," Jared said, chuckling nervously. "But, uh, whatever, you know? It's… uh… god, I swear I was better in front of the mirror!"

"Ha ha, uh, yeah. No, by the way, I, uh, I haven't figured anything out." Emma said, biting her lower lip gently.

"Oh… you… you didn't?"

"No…"

"That's… that's good, yeah, good," Jared said, scratching her nose. "So, uh, the thing is… uh… the thing is that I love you."

"Oh, wow, didn't see that coming!"

"Hey! No sarcasm in tender moments, what did we say?!"

"… sorry…" Emma mumbled, stiffening her laughter.

"God you're awful…" Jared said, smiling lightly as he shook his head. "So, uh, as I was saying, I love you. I've, uh… I've loved you for a long, long, long ass time and, uh, truth be told, I don't think I can, uh, imagine my life where I'm not in love with you. Where, uh, I don't get to see you every day… where I don't get to hear your voice scolding me every time I do something dumb… which I do, let's be honest here, quite often…"

"Ha ha, yeah…"

"And while I may not know many things," Jared continued as he grabbed Emma's hand gently. "It's enough for me to know just one: that, from today until the end of time, I want to be with you. I love you more than I can ever put into words, and, for some ungodly reason, you happen to love me too."

"I do… I really, really do…" Emma said as the corners of her eyes grew teary.

"So, with that in mind," Jared said, suddenly falling on his knee and looking up at Emma's burning red face with a smile. "Emma Reed Reynold, the one thing in the world more beautiful than this view behind me, will you marry me?" he took out a small box and opened it, revealing a shiny ring inside it and lifting it up.

"… I will, I will," Emma stuttered out, tears slowly trickling down as she helplessly tried to wipe them away, her hands shaking, voice cracking. "Of course I will."

"You will?"

"I will." Jared got up and put the ring on her finger slowly, unable to wipe the grin off his face.

"You just made me the happiest man alive, you know that?" he said, as he lifted her chin up, revealing a beautiful smile surrounded by rosy cheeks and glistening eyes. He felt his heart flutter as though it was the first time he'd ever seen her, and the first time he realized he had fallen in love with her.

"You big idiot," she said, tilting her head sideways lightly, narrowing her eyes as her smile widened. "You made me cry!"

"I did, yeah!" Jared said, laughing.

"I haven't cried since I watched that shitty Marley & Me movie!"

"It's one of your favorite movies of all time, why call it shitty?!"

"Because it made me cry!!"

"So am I shitty too?" Jared asked.

"Yeah, very, very shitty…" Emma said.

"Well, you must be a fly then--"

"Oh for the love of shit, just kiss me already!!"

"…"

While sun slowly faded in the sky, the two kissed, tightly entangled in each other's arms, unwilling to let go. As though afraid the other would slip away, never to be seen again, unwilling to even humor the thought. While some people paused for a moment and looked at the two with smiles, most had simply moved on to their own small adventures, as many beautiful things away, and life is too short to be hung up on a single one.

 

FRIENDSHIPS AND LOVES

 

While Emma and Jared celebrated the start of a new life for the two, Aya and Tyson were sitting in a coffee shop across from the pier. The latter had long since buried his head into the table, cheeks redder than the sun in the horizon, while Aya watched it all with a tender smile on her face, even taking a few pictures as a memento.

"Oh, come on!! Your best friend just asked your other best friend to marry him, and you can't even watch?! What are you, eleven?!" Aya exclaimed as she softly banged Tyson's head, causing the latter to grunt as he slowly looked up. "If I didn't know you, I'd say that you were dying due to the highest fever ever recorded in a human being."

"Oh, fuck off," Tyson grunted lowly. "I still can't believe he did it so… openly!! I mean, look, there are a hundred-butt-bucket people passing by!"

"Hundred-butt-bucket?" Aya repeated, arching her brow.

"I wanted to say hundred butts, but then for some reason I thought about that time during our mountain trip where you took a shit in a fucking bucket--"

"Okay, okay, okay, say that one more time, and I'll behead you!" Aya interjected, glaring at him.

"Oh god, here they come. What do I say? How do I act?! Do I point at the ring and say 'You've finally got your precious, eh?'. Aya, tell me!"

"… do that last thing. Then I can point at your dick and say 'and that's my precious'."

"… yeah, make fun of me now." Tyson said, glaring at her. "Why the hell do I love you?"

"Who cares? What matters is that you do," Aya said as Emma and Jared walked up to the table, hugged tightly together. "Hey guys!! Congratulations!" Aya got up and immediately hugged the two. "It was really, really beautiful!"

"Thanks, thanks." Emma said, laughing. "The bastard's finally managed to make me cry. It's a victorious day for him."

"Oh, and she said yes," Jared said. "That's, you know, the crowning achievement of today."

"Ha ha," Aya laughed. "Well, I managed to grab a few pictures. They're terrible, of course, but it's better than nothing."

"Oh, I'm sure they're great." Emma said.

"You guys…" Tyson finally spoke up as got up onto his feet and placed one of his hands on Jared's shoulder and the other on Emma's. "It was… goddammit, I won't cry!! Tears, go back inside! Go back! There we go. Khm, so, as I was saying--"

"Sorry to interrupt man," Jared said. "But they didn't go back in."

"… yeah, wow, I totally missed that. It's not as though I was hinting at playing along. Geez, I'm really an idiot!!" Tyson exclaimed. "So, as I was fucking saying, it really was beautiful. You guys are beautiful. The ring is beautiful. I'm beautiful. Aya is getting there--"

"Hey!!"

"--this whole goddamn thing is beautiful! Congratulations you two!"

"Ha ha, thanks," Jared said as he hugged Tyson. "And thank you for being here. I know it couldn't have been easy for you."

"It wasn't." Aya said. "He nearly became hotter than sun."

"Oi!" Tyson exclaimed.

"Thanks, Ty," Emma said, hugging him tightly. "For everything."

"If you break his heart, though," Tyson said. "I'll have to break your bones."

"… shouldn't you be saying that to him you asshole?!" Emma exclaimed, lightly punching him.

"Him? Jared? The real-life example of the Iron Giant?"

"… yep, point taken." Emma said. "I promise I won't. Rest assured."

"This guy really loves Iron Giant, doesn't he?" Jared said.

"I know, right?!" Aya exclaimed as the four sat down. "It's like, we get it! It's a great movie! Move the fuck on already!"

"Aww, leave him alone guys!" Emma exclaimed as Tyson began pouting. "Don't listen to them, Ty. You keep on loving whatever you want, okay?"

"… what am I doing here?" Tyson said, sighing. "I could be having friends who don't make fun out of every facet of my being, and I could have a girlfriend who actually respects what I love and enjoy. Instead? Instead I've got the hell rejects to torture me."

"You do it to us all the time!!" Aya suddenly exclaimed. "Last week I told you I felt my ass got fatter, and you wouldn't stop making fun of it for six fucking hours!! I was more impressed with that than I was by quatom physics!!"

"One time – and this is a true story – he found out that Jared and I took ballet classes," Emma said. "It was his ammunition for like half a year."

"… pft," Tyson puffed as he tried to hold back the laughter. "Yeah, that was… ha ha, oh my god, every time I imagine this big chunk of muscle trying to do ballet, I just lose it. Ha ha ha… I'm sorry but, it's like… people have invented machines for leg days!"

"… yeah, thanks for the vote of confidence buddy." Jared said, faking a smile as he flipped Tyson.

"Aww, come on guys!" Tyson said. "I'm not that bad. At least I don't hit where it hurts the most!"

"… December 23rd last year--"

"Okay, so, are we getting drunk or not?!" Tyson interrupted Emma as the three burst out in laughter. "Right, yeah, let it all out. Or, let it go as kids these days say."

"Oh my, I didn't know you were approaching sixties man," Aya said. "I must be sick, dating an old man."

"… you literally begged me to dye my hair white and draw wrinkles on my face because you wanted to see how it'd be like to fuck me in forty years." Tyson said.

"Aww, that's sweet!!" Emma exclaimed suddenly. "Not just any old man, but you!! Okay, Ty, listen here carefully, if you fuck this up, I will fuck you up, got it?"

"…"

"Got it, old man?!"

"I got it, I fucking got it, woman who is bound to forever screw one guy!" Tyson said with a sneer.

"… oh, so you're planning on screwing someone else besides me?" Aya asked, hiding a smile.

"No!! No, I mean… you know what I mean!! Ugh, whatever, you guys suck. Hey, waiter, bring me three bottles of gin! And for them, I don't know, a few bottles of bleach!"

Heartily laughter resonated from their table as night slowly grew darker, and singers began singing from their souls, and night lamps began shining onto the street in their spectacular splendor… deep, deep into the night, before the city fell asleep yet again, awaiting a new dawn, and a new start.

Damn that vampire to throw me into a world of many powerful beings that can destroy you with a flick but luckily that vampire gave me cards that let me stay alive in this world.

Hey I'm Aiko. I love to film. I work on taking pictures and videos to make a edit for my class of 2023. I want to be a movie producer when I am an adult. I have have so much drama and stress in my life that half the time I don't know what to do with it. I am 17 now but not when I met him. When I met him I was only 14. I remember it like it was yesterday.

It was Christmas Eve a perfect night. I walked upstairs to say Hi to the rest of my cousins. A boy...crouched down but looked tall...Looked older than me...Hair in a beanie with a pretty cool leather jacket. His shirt was Batman. He had on black jeans. And he looked like my uncle except way younger. Who is he I thought?

"I am Batman." He said to my cousin Naokatsu.

"Aiko!" Naokatsu ran to me to give me a hug. " Kiatsu likes superheros just like you!" He smiled up at me. I looked at him as he arose. He was taller than me but not too taller. "Kiatsu this is Aiko, or I call her Flash or Black Canary!" 

 "Well, He's wrong. I'm Batman." He said. Then Kotoko ran in the room behind her was Rokuto, Yasuko, and Satoko causually walking in the room.

 "HEY AIKO!" I smiles as she ran up to me to give me a hug.

"Hey crazy." I said rubbing her head. The other three just sat down pretending like I wasn't there and just kinda waved. I hate them. I'm too young to hangout with them. I'm the baby of the group. I am all alone no one is in my 3 year range. In their 3 year range its them. I always been known as the baby the youngest. I never had anyone. Kotoko and Naokatsu don't count Well Kotoko is too young she isn't considered my cousin. She is my step cousin. And Naokatsu well He's my niece technically. He is also my god brother and is very little. 

"So you met my brother?" Kotoko smiles. 

I look back at him and He smiles at me. "Your her brother?"

"Guilty as charged." Kiatsu says smiling. I smile back. 

"You ready to stay up till Midnight Aiko?" Naokatsu says jumping onto me I catch him and smile as I cary him with one arm.

"Well, If I have to take care of your crazy butt maybe not." I giggle playing with hair.

"Well, Now you have someone to help!" Kotoko says looking at her brother.

"You're right Kotoko. Batman you are now my side kick to make this Christmas better than last years!" I smile at him. 

"I can do that...But shouldn't you be my sidekick." He smirks at me.

"NO! BLACK CANARY ISN'T A SIDE KICK AND NEITHER IS FLASH!" I yell in his ear. Yasuko looks at me and rolls her eyes. Girl just because this your house doesn't mean you have to act like that...

1 hour and 20 minutes later....

"Aiko?" This so called "Batman" asks as we grab some cupcakes from downstairs.

"Yes?" I reply taking a velvet cupcake. 

"I know its stupid but what do you think love is?"

"Love.....Deep affection.....And when you find the one the world take color."

"How Cliche" He laughs. What is cliche....Who was he in love with? 

"Is there a girl?" I ask.

He just smiles. "I guess you can say that."

"And your in love." 

"Maybe...I dont really know."

"Well what's the deal? She has eyes of a angel or something?"

"She's amazing but...." 

"But what....What's the deal breaker?" I ask

Well she has a boyfriend." I heard the heartbreak in his voice....Poor thing....

1 hour later....

"I know its only 10:34 and we always do this at 11:00 but lets play night tag like every year!" Kotoko says smiling. 

"Why not? Btw New kid or "Batman" it's just tag in Yasuko's grass." I look up at him and he smiles at me.

That was just the start....Who knew I would spill secrets of my own....

This adventure is full of Love complications, Secrets unfold, Family issues and a lot of Pain. How will Aiko end up? Figure it out and read this twisted drama!

As I stared Into his eyes I got some indescribable feeling of fear, I could see why some criminals get nightmares after meeting this guy.


I opened my mouth to respond when I heard a boom. I snapped my head to the direction of the sound it was a bit far so I focused my vision on the source.


I saw a bunch of men in masks with guns with a huge burly man in the middle walking into a building I turn back to see were batman was before and he was gone.

I looked back at were the explosion just took place to see him gliding there I took of to follow him. I soon caught up to him "need some help"  "no" he replied with one word and went inside the building. 

a few minutes after he went in I could here gun shots screams and some cursing. I hovered outside the building and watched the scene which was pretty cool the only thing missing was some popcorn. 

soon the burly man came out of the building he had a bag over his shoulder.  He looked up and was shocked to see me, soon the rest of his men showed up so did the reporters. 


I didn't feel like moving around much and this was the perfect time to test out the haki. I released my conquerors haki and knocked out all of the burly man's men. The burly man's men started dropping like flies. 


I had seen this kind of scene in one piece so many times but it was a completely different feeling to see it infront of your eyes. 


The shock in the burly man's eyes had quickly turned to a look of horror. " stealing is bad "
I said as I landed right infront of him  behind him batman had arrived and was looking at the scene " their not dead if that's what your wondering. " I  said with a smile. Batman focused his attention on me after I said that then to the burly man "Bane give up". 



As he said that I turned to have a proper look at the burly man and I was shocked to see it really was bane, so on my first day in the Dc universe I meet both batman and bane. 



I was brought out of my thoughts by a fist that was heading towards my face,  I could have avoided it but I wanted to see the limits of my strengths so I took the punch head on. 


"Eh...that's it?"  I said as the punch connected I could literary feel nothing when he punched me.  I thought I would have been pushed back or something but nope, nothing happened.

I was still standing but Bane on the other hand was in a lot of pain. he was screaming while holding his hand, his hand was disfigured part of his bones were showing "you should really get that checked out"  I said before flying of.


***************************

"Ma'am we have news on what we suspect to have caused this crater."  a young man in all black said to a lady who was watching a screen which showed pictures of the spot where Elicron woke up.


"well... what is it then?" the woman asked without taking her eyes of the screen. 


"ma'am, it's more of a... well who."the young man response grabbed the woman's attention. 


she looked him in the eye "go on."  the man passed a tablet to the woman which had a video of Elicron using his conqueror's haki.


after watching the video she was in disbelief she couldn't belief one man could do this, after a few minutes of silence she finally spoke "get a strike team to Gotham and get me Oliver Queen."

*********************************
I had gone round checking news papers and I finally know when I am,  it is still two years until arrow starts.

our mc dies and meets God, he then gets powers and is sent into the Dc universe specifically the arrowverse basically it.

This time, the AI's answer was prompt. [576.]

…

If that wasn't a hint to avoid the guy, I don't know what was. Definitely going to put my utmost effort to never be caught by him.

Once I was out of the Studium Generale buildings, I headed in the general direction of the Library but slipped away instead of returning to my old haunt. Mister Shaman was going to be there for awhile from what I gathered via the Advanced Wards Professor and that meant I was on a voluntary exile from the Library during the day.

Living in this city for a few weeks, places were considered as a temporary Site B. Obviously, nowhere too high-traffic or boisterous.

The Garden of Naiads was a thought but I dismissed it as not being isolated enough. It was a quiet place but one always felt watched there—probably from the hulder.

I decided to fly toward the walls while in the middle "spike" of the crown, since that area had a smaller population due to the wyverns that found themselves home there. Glancing around, not feeling it necessary to stay low with so much air traffic in the area, I picked out one of the high bell towers in the area.

Slowing down when I saw a nest and a roosting wyvern with eggs, I hovered and cocked my head to one side.

"You don't mind if I become your neighbor for a bit, right?" I asked.

This was not the first time I've interacted with the local fauna. I mean, I was in a fantasy world now. Of course I would take a peek when I heard there were wyverns around.

Like the descriptions I've read and seen pictures of, wyverns had winged forelimbs like bats. They had draconic features with hawk-like beaks and two hind legs. Their tails varied depending on the subspecies but it was commonly a long, whip-like appendage with a fin like a rudder.

They also ranged from the size of a parrot to an Irish wolfhound when fully grown.

It bark-crooned at me.

I pulled some smoked fish from my Inventory. "Bribery," I stuck my tongue out playfully before tossing the large kipper at the nesting mother.

Finally looking away when the wyvern (a larger one) accepted my peace offering, I landed on the other side from her and sat down with my legs over the edge.

Watching some wyverns play tag in the sky and the sheer numbers I saw from my high vantage point, I couldn't help but chuckle a bit. "I feel like Batman."

After a moment of peace, I hopped back up so I was standing; it was long past time to test out my physical limits.

Taking my time to stretch, I ran over what I needed to get an idea for. Strength, speed, and endurance were easy to calculate but healing speeds would be a little more difficult. I had to make sure to test for raw power and speed too since I haven't pushed myself to the limit the past few weeks--I've just been doing enough daily to maintain my form.

I glanced around again and then smirked.

"Well, I never did freerunning to my heart's content since I've arrived…"

Spreading my arms open, I leaned forward and tipped over the edge. 

Applying and removing <Hover> as I landed, I rolled forward and straight into a run. No internal enhancement from now on, Nori.

And it turned out I was a bit faster when 37 told me the speeds I was running. I could reach 100km/h while full-out running, which I was doing since it was pretty hard to measure my physical endurance without pushing my body to its limits (I'd be liable to run all night considering my escape from Aure Forest).

I started doing riskier and riskier maneuvers before finally stopping after I climbed the bell tower starting point with my bare hands. 

Placing my hands on my waist, I made sure I stood straight as I caught my breath. If I had to distribute my stats by scale, I was still better in INT, END, and DEX rather than SPD or STR. In fact, I think my raw strength had increased the least.

'What is it, Thirty-Seven?' I prompted when I felt him squirming oddly in our shared connection.

[I am happy that Nori is being serious about improving. But… I am feeling… a little uneasy. Since it seems like Nori feels trouble is coming from my 'brethren.']

Oh.

A part of me wanted to reassure my partner but that would be doing him a disservice, I think. The truth was, I didn't know enough so I could not draw any conclusions either way. I was just preparing myself in the event of a worst-case scenario since my only other option was to sit down and twiddle my thumbs while waiting for something to happen.

While I can hole up with books for ages, that still had my mind actively being utilized. I was the type of person that didn't know what to do when there was nothing to do. I always kept myself busy even if I may not be productive.

'Well, do you know what Gaellia needs saving from?'

[I do not.]

Meh. All this preparation was just making sure I knew if I could run away or not under various circumstances.

[I heard that.] The AI's tone was wry.

Mentally sticking my tongue out at my partner, I took to the air now that it was night and headed back to the Library. 

I still avoided the obvious ways to the magical sections as I returned to my cot. 

The Library was quieter at night, with the lights in the halls and passageways dimmed. I walked to my empty little section and grabbed a book about the sewer systems of Crown City before reclining on the cot.

Nothing would help me fall asleep as quickly as trying to read about the sewer systems which were so haphazard I was surprised there was clean running water at all. 

Let's see, where did I stop… right, filtration process and cleaning requirements.

As I settled down to be bored to sleep, I thought to ask 37 to remind me to buy some healing ointments. Just in case.

Yo. Name's Nori. I'm just an ordinary twenty-year-old university student—really—that woke up transported to this world called Gaellia one day. On my first day, I find myself thrown in jail and met my partner that will travel with me: an AI that I have a telepathic bond with.

[Nori, there are monsters attacking the city.]

Not my problem.

"Big Sis! I bought this dress for you!"

"Bro! Let's head to the gate to see who would get a higher kill count!"

[Nori, if you do this mission, you can read 50,000 words of a new title—]

Ah! Alright already, I get it!


**On hiatus for volume compilation**
***Volume Two being roughed out***
{Note: Written in 1st Person POV. Nori is nonbinary. Romance-free for Nori but lots of misunderstandings happen.}

Having angered Batman and James Gordon together is not good. These two people have enough influence in the future to destroy everything he has here. 

The only way to protect yourself is to become someone like Lex Luther. Become a part of the system in such a way that your absence will cause turmoil and chaos. 

You will become a hated but necessary entity for the society. 

And to fo that, Thomas needs some time as well as grasp a few industries which can affect the winds of Gotham. 

He has plans for some of them and as of now he has a bank, and a hospital under his hands. He has a gang under his hand which can be his open army. If he has a TV Station and male it gain some fame, then he can become one of the giants of Gotham City. 


If he is able to do this, then he can have safe haven in Gotham. 

The greatest thing is he will have another way of annoying Batman should he involve his nose too much in his affairs. 

He can start the Batman series and air it in Gotham through his  broadcasting station. 

But all these thoughts are just ideal opinions. 

This time, he has enemies on all side in Gotham. If he dares to let his guard down even with the support from the AI and other enhanced warriors around him, he can still fall. 

From the intel that Thomas has in his hands, Talia is coming to Gotham soon. If his luck is anything to go by then she will be in the opening party of his hospital. 

There he cannot escape her. So he needs to have a backup to survive the encounter if she attacks him or is out for his blood. 

He doesn't know how she will react after seeing him. Whether she still remember him or not. As strong as he is now, he cannot survive the angered heir of Ra al Ghul. 


This time, the incident in Gotham has earned him a lot of popularity. This popularity has earned him a large number of reputation points which can be used to procure some great items. 


He decided to use the increased reputation points and get himself a master level lottery. 

There are five different kinds of lottery in this system and each lottery requires a certain level of reputations for use. 

Low level - 100
Intermediate lottery - 1000
Advanced lottery - 10,000
Master lottery - 100,000
Divine lottery - 10,000,000

Currentl,y Thomas has around 90000 points on him. He can try to upgrade the system and choose a different time forthe lottery but his current situation is urgent. 


But for his own safety, he chose to use the master lottery. For the first usage of the lottery of certain criteria, there is a fifty percent discount.

With his points he can use the master level lottery. This can also help him get a powerful item from the lottery. 

He called out the Popularity System to use the lottery function in it. 

' I wish to use the master lottery now.' He thought in his mind and a screen came in front of him. 

[ You have 91,435 points. Since it is your first time using this criteria, you are given a 50 per cent discount. 

The lottery objects are generated. Please choose one of them.] The system voice rung in his head. 

Instead of the card like arrangement like it does for the lottery draw till advance level, in Master level there  are nine closed boxes placed in front of him. At that very moment, his reputation points are deducted. 

He then picked one box and it shone brightly. 

At that moment, the box shook around and in a glimmer of bright lights, the object was revealed.

It was a ring. This ring is about two inches long, in the form of a dragon. It's silver with a round, green, stone on its back.

There is no way of determining the level of reward he got because it burst out a flurry of colours, instead of a fixed one. 

Although Thomas is sceptic about it, he decides to trust the system. 

So for it hasn't betrayed his trust in the first draw. 

There are times when not so useful things are withdrawn as a reward for lottery. 

Till this date, Thomas has used lottery multiple times and have got more than hundred white card, around fifty violet and indigo card, ten blue card and two green card. 

White and Violet lottery give out ordinary rewards like weapons, medicines, books, clothes etc. These guns can only be used for small scale fights. 

Indigo lottery gives a better version of weapons, powerful drugs for quick healing and different magic arrays to study. They can affect things in a city level. 

Blue level rewards are on a different level from the others. It is something which can affect an entire state. So far the things which he got from this draw are Dinosaur embryo, aircraft carrier, ALZ-112 from the movie Rise of planet of the apes, a jaegar from Pacific Rim as well as a kaiju, cloning system from The Island movie. These are the scientific rewards. 

The magic rewards are Grimmoire from Black Glover, Phoenix egg, which has not hatched yet , Book of Alchemy from Fullmetal Alchemist and The elemental seed from Hellboy. 

Out of all these things, he has only discovered the secrets of a Jaegar, embryo of dinosaur, aircraft carrier, grimoire and cloning system. 

The other are still left untouched. They possess thongs which the current Thomas can't grasp. So he has put them in storage. 

From time to time, he will browse through them to gain more knowledge. 

The Skynet and T-virus are only the product of the green card he was rewarded in the lottery. 

Finally this ring. When Thomas saw the information generated by the system about the ring in his hand, he almost dropped it. 

[ Name: Merlin's Ring
Level: Yellow order

Description : This ring is the ring of Grand Archmage Merlin. It is a source of inheritance. Once a person manages to successful earn its loyalty he will be Merlin's successor.
]

" What the hell does this even mean?" Thomas shouted. He has got himself a yellow order item yet he has to earn the loyalty of this ring. Isn't it just cheating?

" System, you come out this instant abd explain to me, why I am being cheated at the very first lottery? You have assured me that my first draw will get me great things, yet here you are cheating. Explain yourself." He shouted out in his heart.

A soul reincarnated in the son of an Arms Dealer with a popularity System, from which one can get many things from lottery like Tony Stark intelligence, vibranium, Phoenix force, and even nanomites of rise of cobra, etc.

He will be famous, anti-hero multi-billionaire Playboy trying to survive in this dangerous world.

Jikan will be ok... right?

Someone slips a cup into my hands, it's warm and a brown liquid is inside of it. I take a sip, it tastes horrible. "Ugh, it tastes like sludge..."
 
Stephen looks over at me a twinkle in his eye, "Yes but it's caffeinated sludge, drink up."

I guess this is what coffee tastes like then, it's just as gross as I imagined. But it's warm and I'm feeling really cold so I tip back my head a little and chug the whole thing down.

It slightly burns my mouth but it still warms me up so I'll take it. "H-how is she?"

Stephen looks away. He's a horrible liar, "I-I don't know all the details..."

We sit in silence for a few minutes, Stephen pushes his glasses up every few minutes, it makes him look kinda cute.

After a few minutes, Batman walks over with Superman. Superman starts, "Jikan is..... Dawn, you need to understand that none of this is your fault..."

Batman then says, "Dawn, she's dying. Her genome is contracting, her organs are also failing, she has a scorching fever, along with way too many cells dying. I'd say she maybe has a week."

Week, one word and one syllable. Yet the word seems to weigh down on me. But she seemed so happy and healthy. "How did this happen?"

My voice sounds more like an echo. Batman sighs like he doesn't know either, "It could be so many different things, chemical imbalances maybe. But just like you, her genome is switching between what you would expect in a human and whatever that other thing is, but it's on a much larger scale. I hate to say it but... I think whatever that chemical that makes you guys, well, like you are is killing her..."

What? This power is killing her? "B-but... Is there anything you can do?"

Batman shakes his head and I feel like I've been submerged in cold water and thrown into a fire at the same time. It's hardly been two days since Batman told me that everything was a lie and now...? Now I'm being told that someone else I was starting to care about is going to die. How many times must my heartbreak before the world is satisfied? Why does the world hate me so much? 

"Then what about me? Am I going to die too?" Yeah, that would be a great way to die. The world hasn't taken enough away from me yet. Hey so now that you know pretty much all your life has been a lie and the little kid you care about is going to die... Congratulations! You get to die too! Something like that maybe?

"We don't know yet, but if we do a blood test we can probably figure it out from that and then we can proceed accordingly," Batman says and I'm starting to think he doesn't have any emotions.

I'm too mad to be polite anymore, "Proceed accordingly? What bs. Do you even care? I bet you think it's funny that I've lost everything and am still losing more." I spit the words in his face.

Stephen starts to get up from his seat, "Dawn that's-"

"No, let her. I want to hear what she has to say." Batman says and extends a hand to stop Stephen from getting up.

I'm standing at this point but I don't care, the blanket also fell off my shoulders a long time ago, "You act like you know everything! Like you're better than everyone else. I guess that's what you get when you're a multimillionaire by day and a crime fighter by night. Do you ever think about other people? All your talk about proceeding accordingly but be f*cking honest for once." My breath is coming out ragged now but I don't care. I don't f*cking care anymore. "You have no clue what is going on. You don't have a clue what's wrong with me or Jikan so you can shut the f*ck up about all this 'proceeding accordingly' bs."

I know I'm taking this out on the wrong person. I know I shouldn't be yelling at Batman but honestly, I hate him. None of this is his fault but I just need someone to blame, someone to be able to say 'this is all your fault'.

Tears are again rolling down my face. I've never cried so much as I have in these last two days, I've never lost as much as in these two days.

As I yell all these things Batman doesn't seem to react at all. Why? Why can't he tell me I'm wrong? That none of this is his or my fault. That it will all be ok. 

I crumble, I fall to my knees. I've lost all my strength to fight back. "Why? Why don't you say I'm wrong?"

"I'm whatever the world needs me to be. And if for you that means that I have to be a villain so you can get back up then I'll be your villain." 

I try to wipe away the tears but I can't. "Then why let me make you the villain?"

"...Someone once told me that the point of Batman was that he can be the outcast."

Damnit, why does he have to make sense? "Thank you."

Stephen looks over at me in surprise, I was just cursing him and now I'm thanking him, I would be confused too if I wasn't the one saying it. "I... I'll do the tests." 

Batman nods and I get up off the ground, he leads me over to a chair in the corner of the room. 

"I'm going to do a blood draw, ok?" I just nod, I've gone back to feeling numb.

Funny thing is that I've never minded needles, all the other kids hated them but I didn't mind them. But for some reason when Batman puts the needle in it feels like I'm on fire, it's not that he wasn't careful about it, my god was he careful about it. But it just feels so painful.

After a moment he takes the needle out and the pain stops. I look down at the spot where the needle was, a little dot of blood marks the spot. I wipe away the blood expecting to see a small cut but no... there's no sign that the needle even touched me...

I then realize that my cuts haven't been hurting. At the time, sure, I marked it up to be the work of medicine but no. It would have to start hurting at some point. I roll up my jeans like it's the end of the world and tear of the medical gauze that had been protecting it and... there's nothing there. I mean my leg is there but it looks good as new like it was never injured, to begin with.

My hands are shaking, how is this possible? I-it shouldn't be possible to heal so fast.

I roll up my hoodie sleeve to see if the cut on my arm is still there, with the sudden movement I get a stinging pain traveling across my arm. Yep, still there.

Ok, think this through. all the cuts from the glass and such have healed but the cut I gave myself hasn't. Does this mean that if something hurts me I can heal myself but if I hurt myself it takes as long as usual? What's with that cheat level ability?!

Ok, but you don't know for certain... But you can't test it on yourself since we know that it probably won't work. I turn to Batman for help, "Cut me. Please, I know I sound crazy but I need to make sure of something. It doesn't even have to be a big cut! A small one will work!"

Batman has a look on his face like he knows I've finally lost it. "Please just trust me! I promise I'll explain everything later!"

Batman sighs but grabs a scalpel and on the back of my hand makes a small cut. Blood jumps through the cut to meet open air. I wipe it away to make sure my guess was correct and the skin doesn't even look like it might have once been broken.

I was right.

Dawn hates her life. It's boring and nothing ever happens to her. She wakes up, eats, goes to school, sleeps again and repeats. Boring am I right?

The only light in her life is hearing about the world's Heroes on the news.

Or it was until an unfortunate accident releases a power that neither she nor the other Heroes she loves could have ever imagined.

Beneath the thousand mile long ridge of the Dried Pine Tree Mountain Ridge, there was a gigantic ravine. From the ravine, suddenly a burst of torrent-dashing black air emerged. Like a spiraling tornado, it surged up and congealed into rolling black smoke that covered the sky. In the middle of the black cloud, there was a gigantic figure with a malicious looking face. 
Regardless of how you looked at this figure, he appeared to be a gigantic bat. With his entire body painted black, wings grew from his back. Indeed, his face also resembled a mouse.
Snatching a pitch black thick stick in his hand, he looked down disdainfully from the corner of his eyes and let out a strange laugh. "Exploding Tiger, I've waited hundreds of years for this day. Today, I will take your life when you are sick!" 
Exploding Tiger Tie Hong gave a stuffed snort and his forthright voice sounded as the sudden clap of thunder. "Stinky bat, taking advantage of my difficulty, you have no sense of shame. It's good that you've come, I am just passing the Ninth Calamity of the Genuine Supreme Dao Stage. In the worst case, when I'm taking the calamity, you will not gain anything, let both of us burn together!" 
When Qin Wushuang heard their conversation, he understood the cause of the matter. It seemed this gigantic bat had a grudge with Exploding Tiger Tie Hong. He came specifically when he learned Tie Hong was facing the Ninth Calamity of the Genuine Supreme Dao Stage.
This Exploding Tiger Tie Hong was bold. Even at this moment, he would never yield to him. Even if he were to die, he would not show his weakness to his sworn enemy.
The gigantic bat laughed again. "Exploding Tiger, if you want to die with me, you should at least give me an opportunity. Do you think I need to do it myself? Do I need to fight close combat with you? Ha ha, when your Ninth Calamity comes, I will just perform the Great Devil Bat Sound from a distance, that will be enough for you. Ha ha…"
When Exploding Tiger heard his words, it was clear his temperament dropped. He was well aware of the power of this Great Devil Bat Sound. The long distance sound wave attack could stir the souls of people and was incomparable to ordinary physical attacks.
This stinky bat was almost on par with him, he only had yet to reach the Ninth Calamity. However, after fighting for a few hundred years, they had always been in a stalemate.
Clearly, this bat did not wish to see his sworn enemy passing the great calamity to the Heavenly Supreme Dao. Or else, there would be no space for him in the future.
The Exploding Tiger was a freelance martial artist, and always acted alone without any help. By this time, he realized he did not have any people to defend him. It would be extremely difficult when he encountered the great calamity.
From afar, he saw two figures standing on the Dried Pine Tree Mountain Ridge. He also found it strange, how could uninvited guests come at this moment?
Judging from the tone of this stinky bat, were they not his friends?
"Exploding Tiger Exploding Tiger, why are you not running away?" The tone of that bat person sounded extremely proud as he ridiculed him. "Didn't you not know? I really wanted to see you when you were in a messed up situation. Ha ha ha ha!"
The laughter of the bat warrior sounded very carefree.
Yet Exploding Tiger stayed in silence. Once again, he shot a glance towards Qin Wushuang and Little Jiang.
The batman said with a cold sneer, "Exploding Tiger, you are not really going to cast your hope on such garbage? Ha ha, good, let me kill your wishful thinking."
After he finished speaking, the black spiritual Qi rolled to plunge down with extreme density. The rolling black tornado soared through the sky like a gigantic black dragon.
He swung the gigantic stick and smashed it down.
With a rumbling sound, the temperament released from the stick smashing down shook the entire space to tremble. An explosive sound whipped through the sky. When the black Supreme Dao Qi plunged down, it seemed as if a gigantic mountain pressed down.
Pressed by this temperament, instantly the limbs of Little Jiang went limp as he became frightened stiff.
At this moment, suddenly he felt his body relax as if a burst of power pulled it away by sheer force. Then, his body broke free from that tension.
"Hm?" The batman narrowed his eyes into a line.
He realized his most prized stick move had hit nothing.
On the side, Exploding Tiger laughed. "Stinky bat, with your lowly skills, you dare to laugh at them being garbage. I think you are not even on par with those flies flying next to the garbage."
Initially, the color on that pitch dark face of the bat turned purple.
His stick move hit nothing! How could it be possible? Judging from the look of those two guys, one had a weak aura and the other was young. Neither of them appeared to be elite warriors.
Could it be they were assisted by elite warriors from behind the scenes?
Like a small leaf, Qin Wushuang drifted and dropped onto the mountain ridge. Holding his chest with both hands, he acted as though the scenario that just happened was like a cold breeze brushing at his face for it could not stimulate any ripples in his heart.
When that gigantic batman saw the temperament of Qin Wushuang, his heart sank. He rolled his wretched looking mouse-like eyes. 
"Kid, you don't have any manners," the batman said with an eerie tone. "Have your seniors not taught you to show enough respect before elite warriors? Are you looking down at me with your darned movements?"
On the battlefield, Qin Wushuang's movements of holding his chest with both hands was the biggest insult to his enemies. It was no wonder that it provoked the bad-tempered batman.
Suppressed by the temperament of the batman, Little Jiang felt nervous inwardly. Yet when he saw the calm and collected posture of Qin Wushuang from the corner of his eyes, endless courage surged from his heart out of nowhere.
With a loud voice, he said, "Stinky bat, my boss came to visit a friend, but you are talking nonstop. We would not be showing any manners to ourselves if we pay respect to you."
Qin Wushuang could not refrain from smiling. This Little Jiang had a sharp tongue. However, it was also good as it saved him a lot of trouble. After all, he had yet to master the language at this place.
Although Exploding Tiger Tie Hong was an unyielding figure, with his life on stake, naturally he would not push away his friends when he saw it seemed those two were on his side. He followed to speak in support, "Stinky bat, did you hear that? People know about justice, get lost if you know the situation, or else, humph humph!" 
The batman laughed instead of getting angry. He kept looking across Little Jiang with an eerie look. "You lowly ant, you dare to berate me. You sure have guts, you are bold." 
After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Qin Wushuang and said with an eerie voice, "And you immature kid, let me kill you first!"
With a whoosh, a gust of black wind plunged over. With a shake, that batman transformed into another burst of black wind and rolled over. 
With the rolling black wind, instantly yellow sand filled the sky. As dust rpse to fly upwards across the Dried Pine Tree Mountain Ridge, it was like a super sandstorm whipped through with a fierce imposing manner.
Exploding Tiger shouted, "Watch out! This is black bat sand, once it drops onto your body, it will nibble away at your bones and soul!"
Qin Wushuang only laughed as he mocked him, "Good one!"
Led by the Ying Yang Nature Blade from his hand, instantly the sword lights slashed a gigantic circular shape. A burst of whirlpool formed in the middle of this circle and the Yin and Yang shapes were separated. Pushing it forward, these two pictures expanded endlessly.
"Ying Yang extreme light!" Qin Wushuang let out a light shout and kept initiating sword moves. Bursts of Yin-Yang fishes expanded like spreading ripples.
Little Jiang was dumbstruck by this move. He could not refrain from swallowing a breath of cold air. 
"So powerful, Sir Xinghe, no wonder you are an elite warrior of the Heavenly Supreme Dao!" At this moment, Little Jiang was deeply impressed by Qin Wushuang.
Although there were many Heavenly Supreme Dao elite warriors in the Meteorological Land, when he watched how one of them unleashed their power closely, he finally knew the mighty power of the heavens!
Shone by the Yin and Yang Extreme Lights, it seemed all the black air from the batman got stuck. He could not even struggle to break free.
Countless Yin and Yang Extreme Lights kept congealing to form a ball of dazzling starry clouds that covered the batman tightly inside the lights.
Like a beast trying to break free, that batman plunged from left to right. Yet like an ant trying to shake a big tree, he could not make a dent on this powerful light cover! 
Exploding Tiger was also dumbstruck when he looked at this scene. He looked at Qin Wushuang who appeared like a god in the middle of the sky. Inwardly, he felt incredibly astonished. "Who is he, such divine skills, and so young? It seems he has not even passed one hundred years of age!"
Batman kept crying out miserably inside the light cover, "Sir, sir, I know I am wrong, I know! Please spare my life!"
This batman was famously known for his viciousness. Yet inside this extreme light cover, it was like he was in a pill furnace. Each second would feel as if he was tortured in the infernal world.
When Exploding Tiger saw the miserable appearance of that batman, he also felt incredibly refreshed. Yet when he was feeling refreshed, he also felt his hair standing up. Upon having fought his batman for a few hundred years, he knew profoundly his unyielding character. When he saw such an old monster could not stop from begging for forgiveness, he finally knew the cruelty of this light cover. 
Qin Wushuang revealed a leisurely smile. "Batman, I am not your enemy. If you want to beg for your life, you must beg Tie Hong."
Tie Hong was stunned, yet that batman did not mind as he called out from the light cover, "Tie Hong, Tie Hong, I am wrong, I really am. I promise I will never fight you again. I will go around whenever I see you, I vow in the name of the Master God!"
Exploding Tiger harbored deep resentment for this batman. Now, of course he would not speak to forgive him. Instead, he said to Qin Wushuang, "Honorable Sir, this old monster is your prisoner, you should make the decision."
Qin Wushuang laughed and said, "Sure, batman, do you want to live, or die?"
"I would rather live than die. Sir, I want to live, live!" The batman let out an endless miserable cry.
Qin Wushuang said with an indifferent tone, "Sure if you want to live, then be my servant. Time limit is ten thousand years!" 
His tone was filled with superior confidence. Carried with austere authority, each of his words sounded unquestionable. Little Jiang felt stirred and he looked at Qin Wushuang with more admiration.
Now, the batman only wanted to live and was left without a choice. It would be meaningless if he kept holding on. Besides suffering more, it would be useless. To get out of here and to not die, he must compromise.
Immediately he nodded and cried out, "Master, I am willing to work for you for ten thousand years! I shall not regret!" 


In China’s modern martial arts society, Wu Xinghe was history’s youngest grandmaster of martial arts. He was invincible. Because of a strange incident, he was reincarnated as Qin Wushuang, a poor aristocratic boy in an entirely different world with its own set of rules. With his strong will and passion, he began his journey to pursue the highest peak of martial arts!

The main character’s beliefs are:

Never comply with the aristocrats or the rich people, regardless of any situation. To only depend on your own strength because, eventually, you will have the power to be invincible.

Rise! Soar through the Galaxia! 

Fire. All I see is fire as the surrounding around me are corps laying around.

Even the corpses of my family. The corpse of my neighbour, friends and crush.

This was supposed to be my birthday party when all of a sudden an explosion happened and I got thrown. Then I fainted.

The next thing I knew I am laying on the ground with my body is injured and cannot move.

I look at the sky while holding out my hand.

"I..am..going to d-die." I thought but at the same time, I did not want it.

If only I can move.

"If only some superhero can arrive here to help me." He thought in his head but his eyes starting to get heavier.

"I cannot lose hope." He thought while trying to move his injured body.

"No matter what happens, I will always believe there is hope for me to survive this." He said with determination can be seen in his eyes.

Far away from a galaxy, a blue ring siding shined.


"Searching...Found. Planet Earth. Heading there at Mach 6." The ring disappeared and headed to Earth.



In a different universe, a tomb suddenly shined and a device came out from the tomb.

"A new Deunamist has risen in another universe. It is time for the Giant of Light to rise again and protective humanity." An ancient voice sounded.

Then the device enters a total and headed to its new host.



Both items approached the boy and enveloped him as that day, a myth of a giant of light appeared with only a survivor survive from the tragic incident.

MC POV

5 years have passed since then as 14 years Daniel Turner walked to his apartment and entered his bedroom.

"5 years have passed since huh?" He said and he let out a blue ring and a device.

"Ring?Status." He said.

"98% sir." A voice comes out from the ring.

"That is plenty." He said and grab Evoltruster.

"Nexus." He called the being in that device that made him half human and half Ultraman as he said when he met the giant a year ago.

"Will the Kaiju rise today?" He asked and the drive shine.

"Still no answer huh." He said and slip the drive into his pocket.

"I had to meet Hal again." He said and slipped the blue ring into his finger and he got envelop in blue light.

Now he is wearing the same cloth as Green Lantern but in blue colour.

"If I am not wrong, today is supposed the day the sidekicks goes to the Hall of Justice." He muttered and started to fly in the air.

"Not like I am interested in it. " He said and started to speed up his flying.

He arrives at a hangar when he sees someone approaches him.

"Daniel." Hal Jordan greeted him.

"Hal. So why do you needed to meet me today? Does Saint Walker has any mission for me?" I asked him.

"No. Rather I wanted to bring you to go to the Hall of Justice." Hal said to me.

"No," I replied.

"Oh come on. You will meet heroes that are the same age as you thought they are 2 or 3 older than you." He said to me.

"My answer is still no," I said.

"Look. I know you hated Batman as I do since he sneak into your house and discover your real identity. And tried to snatch your 2 sacred items. Just ignore him. I just wanted to introduce you to the Team." He said to me.

"You forgot to mention Hal I break his rib," I told him.

"Yeah. Gosh. I saved the video of you blasting him and break his rib even though he breaks yours too. I watch that video many time with the Flash. Who knew the famous Batman got his rib break because of 12 years old kid?" Hal said to me.

"Okay. Fine. I will follow you but on one condition." I told him.

"What is it?" He asked me.

"You must treat me that new Domino Pizza's pizza combo tomorrow," I told him.

"Alright. Now let's go. I wanted to arrive at the Hall of Justice before the Flash with his sidekick arrives." He told me.

We both flew with me following behind him.

"So how is the Evol-thing doing?" He asked me.

"Same as always," I replied.

"Seriously, that device confused me. All we know is that the device made you have half of the unknown bloodline with half is still human. Plus it made you like Superman but degraded version." He told me.

"And that is why that billionaire wanted to keep the device away from me and kept it in his damn cave," I told him.

"Haha." Hal laugh.

We arrived at the Hall of Justice with many citizens are taking pictures of the heroes.

The reporters then pointed their finger to us making all people look at us.

Hal landed with me following him.

"Whoa. It's a Green Lantern."

"Who is that?"

"His sidekick."

"Dude. It's Blue Lantern."

"The one from Brooklyn." 

"I heard him. He is strong."

"Plus he looks hot."


I heard the chatters from the citizens with my super hearing.

My eyes looked at the heroes in front of us.

Green Arrow with his sidekick, Speedy, Batman with his sidekick, Robin and Martian Manhunter.

"Hope we are not too late," Hal said with him walking to them with me following him.

"Not late like the Flash does." Green Arrow commented.

Then 2 people arrived and I see Aquaman with a black skin teenager followed him.

"Greeting everyone." Aquarian greeted us with us greeting him back.

I just started at them with Batman stared at me then turn his head. Guess he has a grudge with me.

Then 2 blur arrived and the Flash and Kid Flash has arrived.

"I knew we are the last one to arrive." Kid Flash said.



The press went nuts as the League members walked the younger heroes toward the hall. "Is that Batman?" one asked. "Oh look! I see Flash and Flash Jr.! " another reporter said excitedly.

"His name is Speedy, duh!" someone else scoffed.

"No, Speedy is Green Arrow's sidekick." someone else corrected.

"Well that makes no sense." the other guy sulked.

I chuckled hearing that without no one notices.

Ignoring them the heroes continued their walk to the Hall of Justice. "Ready to see the inner sanctum?" Green Arrow asked Speedy.

"Born that way." the red archer smiled.

"I'm glad we're all here," Aqualad said looking at the other teens.

"Have all five sidekicks ever been in the same place at the same time." Kid Flash asked only to be cut off by Speedy.

"DON'T call us sidekicks. Not after today," he said calming down.

"Sorry." Kid Flash apologized. "First time at the hall. I'm a little overwhelmed," he said.

"You're overwhelmed, Freeze was underwhelmed why isn't anyone ever just whelmed?" Robin asked walking further ahead. "Oh, maybe that's why," he said looking up at the seven huge statues of the original Leaguers.

"It's the first day for them and of course they must feel overwhelmed.

"Robin, Speedy, Aqualad, Kid Flash, Blue Lantern. Welcome." The green-skinned telepath intoned, turning and walking back deeper into the hall. Robin and Kid Flash bumped fists as they followed the martian. "You now have unlimited access to the gym, our fully stocked galley and of course our library," he told them into a large room with comfortable furniture, large screens on the walls and of course hundreds of books lining the walls.

"Make yourselves at home," Flash told them and Robin, Kid Flash and Aqualad all sat down in the chairs with me the same.

Then they started at me and Robin is about to open his mouth when Speedy speak.



Speedy remained where he stood watching their mentors talking.

"A quick debrief to discuss five ice villains attacking the same day. We shouldn't belong." Batman told them. Turning around he allowed a scanner that popped out of the ceiling to scan him.

"Recognized: Batman 02. Aquaman 06. Flash 04. Green Arrow 08. Martian Manhunter 07. Red Tornado 16 .05 Green Lantern." a computerized voice said as it scanned each of the Leaguers. When it finished as door labelled, Justice League Members Only, opened.

"That's it?!" Speedy asked angrily causing the Leaguers to turn to look at him. "You promised us a real look inside, not a glorified backstage pass!" he told them, anger still clear in his voice.

"It's the first step," Aquaman said calmly. "You have been granted access few others get."

"Oh really?!" Speedy said gesturing up to a window where photographers were still taking pictures of them. "Who cares which side of the glass we're on!"

"Roy, you just need to be patient." Green Arrow said stepping forward.

"What I need," Speedy said stressing the word. "is respect. They're treating us like kids! Worse, like sidekicks! We deserve better than this." he said turning to the other teens. Blue Lantern stopped looking at books and the other three looked at him with blank looks on their faces. "You're kidding right?" he asked disbelievingly. "You're playing their game! Why? Today was supposed to be the day! Step one in becoming full-fledged members of the league!"

"Um, sure." Kid Flash said leaning forward. "But I thought step one was just a tour of the HQ," he said confused.

"Except the hall isn't the leagues real HQ! I bet they never told you it's just a false front for the tourists! And a pit stop for catching zeta beam teleporter tubes to the real thing. An orbiting satellite called the watchtower!"

Flash and Batman glared at the green-clad archer. "I know, I know but I thought maybe we could make an exception?" he said hopefully. Batman just narrowed his eyes. "Or not."

"You aren't helping your cause here son. Stand down or" Aquaman said, stepping forward.

"Or what? You'll send me to my room? And I'm not your son!" he said glaring at Aquaman. "I'm not even his," he said turning his attention to Arrow. "I thought I was his partner. But not anymore," he said taking off his yellow hat and throwing it on the ground. The other four stared in shock. "I guess they're right about you four," he said walking out. "You're not ready." He said but then I laugh hearing that.

He glared at me.

"Why the hell are you laughing?" He asked me.

"You said we are not ready. How about you? Are you ready to pledge yourself as a true hero?" I asked him.

"Of course I am." He replied.

"Seriously. Throwing a tantrum like a child is considered ready to become a true hero." I said to him making him angrier.

"Dude. Chill down a little bit, won't you? Do not be angry at the statements I said though it is true." I said and he throws a punch to me but I block it easily.


"You are by no far a hero Speedy. If people like you who didn't have the discipline become a hero, then we are tossed." I said and he retracts back his punch.

"Just because you have that ring doesn't mean you are a hero." He said to me.

"Indeed but without discipline and a righteous heart, you are not a hero." I countered back making him grit his teeth and walked away from the Hall of Justice.

I liked the heroes who just stared at me.

"What?" I asked them.

"Did not expect you to deliver a fine speech to him," Hal said to me.

"Very funny GL. " I replied.

Then one of the comm screens activated showing the man of steel. "Superman to Justice League. There's been an explosion at Project Cadmus, it's on fire," he informed the mentors.

"I've had my suspicions about Cadmus. This may prove the perfect opportunity to"

"Reporting into the big black Batman is the Demon Etrigan. The Sorcerer Wontan is doing all he can, using the amulet of Aten to bring the sun it's the end." the yellow-skinned demon rhymed over a smaller section of the comm screen.

"Superman?" Batman asked.

"It's a small fire. Local authorities have it under control." the man of steel replied.

"Understood. Then Cadmus can wait." Batman said pressing a button on the control panel. "All leaguers go to Etrigan's location. Batman out." he and the other heroes turned to face the teens. "Stay put."

"What? Why?" Robin protested.

"You're not trained," Flash started to say.

"Since when!" Kid Flash shouted.

"I meant you're not trained to work as part of this team." the speedster explained gesturing to himself, Batman, Green Lantern and Aquaman.

"There will be other missions. When you're ready." Aquaman said.

"But for now stay put," Batman ordered as the mentors walked over to the teleporters.

"Glad you didn't bring you to know who?" Green Arrow asked Martian Manhunter.

"Indeed." the telepath replied.

"When we're ready? How are we ever supposed to be ready when they treat us like sidekicks!" Kid Flash raged.

"My mentor, my king, I thought he trusted me." Aqualad lamented.

"Trust? They don't even trust us with the basics!" Kid Flash shouted. "They've got a secret HQ in space!"

"What else aren't they telling us?" Aqualad asked softly.

"I've got a better question." Robin scoffed bitterly. "Why didn't we leave with Speedy."


 I sigh gaining their attention.

"Well, they left to handle that Wotan but do you remember that there is another problem we can solve," I said to them making them wielded their eyes.

"W-wait. Are you going to Cadmus?" Kid Flash asked Blue Lantern. "Because if you're going I'm going."

The two turned to Aqualad and Robin awaiting their answers. "Just like that? We're a team on a mission?" Aqualad asked.

"We didn't come for a playdate," Robin confirmed. Aqualad grinned.


CADMUS POV


The group are now in an orb blue energy from my ring as Daniel is chatting with the other sidekicks.

"So you have been Blue Lantern for 5 years?" Aqualad asked me.

"Yeah. I partnered up mostly with Hal." I told him.

"Must be fun to patrol the space." Kid Flash said to me.

"So Blue Lantern, what does your ring symbolise? I know Green represent Will." Robin asked me.

"Hope. It represents hope and Blue Lantern Corps is close with Green Lantern Corps. We are allies." I told him.

I then see the Cadmus building.

"We have arrived," I said and alarmed down. Kid Flash is the first to move with Robin following.

"They seem too eager doing this," Aqualad said to me.

"Too much eager," I replied.

Over at Project Cadmus, the local authorities were having trouble getting everyone out of the building. "Help! Get us down!" a pair of scientists shouted from a second-story window.

"Stay put! We will get you out." the fire chief promised. But as soon as the words left his mouth the room the scientists were in exploded sending them toppling out the window.

As they were falling a red and yellow blur sped across the ground and up the wall catching the scientists and tossing them on the ceiling. Unfortunately for Kid Flash, tossing the scientists had cost him his momentum causing him to fall. He would have had a rather nasty landing to if he hadn't managed to catch the window ledge the scientists had fallen from.

"Look, it's what's his name, Flashboy!' the fire chief shouted excitedly.

"Kid Flash! Why is that so hard?"

"Soo smooth!" Robin said sarcastically while I and Aqualad go to them by me creating stairs for us after we erased the fire.


"So you got any plan, Robin?" I asked the Boy Wonder who shakes his head.

Walking into the hallway, the ping of an elevator caught his attention. Turning he saw a humanoid figure with large horns inside the elevator as the doors closed. "There was something in there," he said as Kid Flash, Robin and Aqualad rushed into the hallway behind him.

"Elevators should be locked down." Kid Flash said confused.

"This is wrong," Robin told them after running up to the elevator and pulling up a scan. "Thought so. This is a high-speed express elevator, it doesn't belong on a two-story building."

Neither did what I saw on it." Arcane agreed. Walking over to the elevator Aqualad quickly pried the doors open.

"And that's why they need an express elevator," Robin said as they looked down at the extremely deep elevator shaft, going deep underground. Firing a grapple line at the ceiling he lowering himself down with Kid Flash and Aqualad jumping on the line behind him. I simple glowed blue and hovered down with them. They quickly passed Sublevels twenty-four and twenty-five. "I'm at the end of my rope," Robin told the others. After jumping off the rope and landing on the rim of the elevator shaft it didn't take Robin long to hack into the security programs. "Bypassing security... there! Go!" he told the others as five green smiling Robin heads appeared on his hologram screen.

Aqualad pried open the doors for them to see a long metal hallway. "Welcome to Project Cadmus," Robin announced.

Kid Flash taking the initiative sped along the hallway to scout out what was ahead.

Aqualad barely had time to utter "Kid, wait!" before the young speedster nearly got himself run over by massive grey beasts with massive tusks and razor-sharp teeth. Luckily for him, they didn't seem to notice him. There was a whole herd of the beasts walking in an orderly two-line fashion. All of the young heroes watched them go past with wide eyes. There were smaller gnome-like things crouched on the beast's heads. It looked at them and its small stubby horns began glowing red.

"Well, that obviously wasn't out of the ordinary," Blue Lantern said sarcastically.

"No, nothing going on here." Aqualad agreed.


In a lab elsewhere in Cadmus, a man with long brown hair, dressed in a lab coat was working on something using the genetic materials of some of the creatures that he had in test tubes. Carefully he placed a drop of a pink solution in a clear liquid that had a strange blue crystal inside it. The crystal quickly dissolved thanks to the new ingredient and the new mixture glowed a bright shade of blue. The pinging of an opening door brought an irritated expression to the man's face.

"Doctor Desmond." a man dressed in a blue jumpsuit and a yellow helmet, complete with one of the smaller gnome creatures on his shoulder walked in.

"Tell me, Guardian, what part of no interruptions did you not understand?" Desmond asked snidely placing the glowing blue vial inside a container with others just like it.

"A gnome on Sublevel 26 reports four intruders," Guardian informed him.

"Huh, did I miss a perimeter breach alert?" Desmond sighed.

"No."

"Then the gnome is confused. Whatever might occur in our fall lab above ground the real Cadmus is the most secure facility in D.C." Desmond boasted. Neither of them noticed a tall horned shadow behind them.

"My job to keep it that way," Guardian replied.

"Fine, take a squad." Desmond sighed, clearly frustrated with Guardians insistence.

"Might I recommend Guardian leave his g-gnome behind?" a tall thing-gnome dressed like a doctor suggested entering the room. "If violence were to occur..."

"The little guy would be in my way." Guardian agreed.

"No!" Desmond said, Charley. "The benefits of instant telepathic communication outweighs other concerns." Reaching down he rubbed the chin of another small g-gnome that sat on his desk. Its horns began glowing red, and in response, the gnome on Guardians shoulder did the same.

"I need my gnome with me at all times," he said in a robotic voice. Tuning he clasped a fist to his heart and bowed slightly to Desmond before turning and walking out of the room. When he was gone Desmond turned back to his microscope.

Glowing light on a pair of large steel doors turned green, deactivating the lock. The door opened, allowing the fourteen heroes access to the next room. "Ok, I'm officially whelmed," Robin told the others


"Let's just hope that this mission goes well without a problem." I thought in m head.

Daniel Turner become a Blue Lantern Corp along with a giant of light.
