Why was the virus here?
This was supposed to be the MCU, right?
I was supposed to be reborn within that very universe of movies I grew up watching, so why, why was Janet a zombie.
I might not remember the movie where they rescued her, but I was sure as hell, she wasn't a zombie when they did, I would certainly remember a marvel movie with zombies.
Was I actually within the zombie comic I had once read?
No, that didn't make sense, the world around me it's a constant reminder of the MCU, of that there was no doubt.
So then, why?
Why was this particularly terrifying threat breathing on my back?
[New Quest Created = The Virus that should not be!
The Quantum Virus was not supposed to exist in this reality, it was only supposed to be in a few selected universes, so you have to find out why it's here, and who is behind it before it's too late.
Objectives = Find a cure, Find Who the Culprit is.
Side Objectives = Save Janet from the virus]
The quest, when it appeared, I didn't pay it much attention, I didn't have the time, with Janet flying on her wasp suit towards the portal, all I could do, was act quickly, and I did, closing the portal for the time being.
But now, now I had the time.
"So the quest agrees with me," I muttered, not that this realization helped in any way.
If anything made this entire situation all the more troubling, why? Well, the quest fucking implied, there was someone behind this mess, someone with enough power to put a fucking virus from another universe in this one, meaning that someone was well above my current pay grade, way fucking above.
Especially considering that there were only a few selected individuals in the entire universe powerful enough to do multiversal things, like well… putting things from another universe into a different universe just for shits and giggles.
Maybe it was time to check the power ranking, whoever did this has to be in the top 30 I assume, considering not even Dormmamu is capable of multiversal feats, which considering he is a multi-dimensional being, it's saying a lot.
"Power Ranking,"
[Power Ranking - Current Universe
1 - The One-Above-All LV ????
2 - The Beyonder LV ???? - NEW ADDITION!
3 - The Fulcrum LV ????
4 - The Living Tribunal LV ????
5 - The Heart Of The Universe LV ????
6 - The Phoenix LV ????
6 - Oblivion LV ????
7 - Infinities LV ????
8 - Eternity LV ????
9 - Death LV ????
10 - Infinity LV ????
11 - The Protege LV ????]
As I hovered over the rankings, something caught my attention. A new name, The Beyonder, the name somehow felt, familiar, yet I couldn't put my finger on it.
I really hoped he wasn't the culprit, I was in no form ready to fight him, or even talk to him, considering anything at the top can erase me like a bug, a tiny one at that.
[Objective completed! Find who the culprit is!]
Fuck me!
"Why would an all-mighty being want to fuck with me?" I cursed, eventually realizing the stupidity of my question because it was highly likely The Beyonder wasn't even giving me a thought, he did what he did just because he could, not to annoy me, or to fuck with me.
At least I hoped so.
Because if he did it to bother me, to fuck with me, to anything with me, I was… well, fucked.
Dealing with the likes of such power, was well beyond my years, and current power.

[The Beyonder POV]
It had been a while since I found a universe, unlike the rest, a universe with a singularity, one of a kind, kind of like me, but very weak though, at least for now, and that was no fun, I wanted to have fun, but I had to wait.
After all, he was incomplete, well, everyone was.
But he was more incomplete than the rest, and that puzzled me.
It was funny really.
I guess that was what I liked about humanity, that even though they were incomplete, the very core within them pushed them to grow, to evolve, to become better.
The Core of Desire.
Or maybe I should call it a disease, after all, it infected me.
Before I venture outside my universe, I had no desires, no wants, no dreams, no fun, I had nothing, but me, and I was enough, that was until I found what lay beyond the veil of my universe.
The Multiverse was so unlike what I was, that it shocked me, it changed me.
I was understandably surprised to discover that most universes were populated by many beings that were merely a part of a greater whole making up their universe; each and every little one of them inherently incomplete and thereby trapped in a quest to remedy their individual incompleteness, pushing forward in the name of desire.
The desire to be strong.
The desire to be smart.
The desire to better.
An emotion I came to understand after seeing I was not all there was to see.
Meaning, I was too incomplete in a way.
But, this being, this anomaly that currently resided on earth, he was more than incomplete, and that fascinated me to no end, because not even I was able to understand the limits of his possible growth.
How fun was that?!
Granted, he needed a little push or two, to speed things up, and I was more than happy to provide a bit of help, if anything to kill the time.
Sadly, I didn't have as much freedom on the subject as I would've liked, after all, that guy was keeping tabs on me like a hawk, protecting the anomaly, because he also finds fascinating.
But, I was still able to push a straw or two, an atom or two, to make things more interesting.
And who knows, maybe one day, he will reach the heights necessary to become more than he is.
