Homunculus

Rating: T

Disclaimer: I do not own Marvel, The Young Avengers, The Avengers or anything that are made from Marvel. I only own my OC, Maxell Joachim.

WARNING: As far as I know, OCs is NOT what many people would like to have in a fanfic. So please, if you do NOT like OCs being the main attention, either you wait until I made another chapter that involves the rest of The Young Avengers or don't read it at all. You have been warned. Also, boy x boy, OC pairing with Marvel character, swearing, etc. etc.

Author's Note: I'm discontinuing Dancing at Street Lights to do a fanfic based on pairing my OC, Maxell Joachim the Homunculus, with Tommy the Speed. UPDATE: PLUS, in addition, prior to the update of the story, only the beginning was altered to make it more sense. Also to fix some grammar issues in the story.

Maxell Joachim is my OC that was inspired by BlazBlue's Nu-13, Rachel Alucard, Ragnarok's Sage job, and ALSO THE Joachim from Castlevania as well, thus the family name from him and his hometown to be Transylvania to fit in.

Although despite having the same name as the original Joachim Armster, making 'Joachim' my OC's last name, I'm not making my OC affiliated with him, saying that Maxell is Joachim's son or anything of the particular.


OC Status

Maxell Joachim
-hasn't gotten an alias as of yet-
Has no relation outside his family. Mother died of an accident when Maxell was just a year old. Father died when Maxell was exactly 17 years old because of a failed experiment attempt to make Maxell a human weapon that took his life.
-not affiliated with anyone-

Male
Age 19 (appearance of 17 due to the frozen aging state)
Short messy undercut brown hair with a line highlight of deep purple, completely black eyes (originally deep purple), slender but quite masculine and rather short
Once human, now Homunculus
Transylvania (the fact that he CAN levitate with the Grimoire's help)

Manipulation of conjuring weapons of his desire with his Grimoire, regardless of said weapon to be real or fiction (often seen using Laevateinn, a norse Sword wielded by Surt. He tends to conjure more than one Laevateinn and makes them appear out of nowhere. But he can cast only one at a time, and not simultaneously, unless if he lifted his Homunculi Atom Limiter)

Also has the ability to jump incredibly high and float down or any directions with help of Grimoire (provided that there is wind guiding him to wherever it takes him. In this case, the wind blew towards New York when he floats away from Transylvania)

His stamina is rather intense; he can still live without food for at least 2 years and counting, he is able to run without the need of catching his breath, despite running at a speed of a normal human being. However, he is still fragile and weak and he gets injured faster than before and still unable to handle excess power from conjuring too much weapons at his disposal because he is not a full-fledged Homunculus.


Power Grid(please refer to the Marvel wikia for more information)

Intelligence: Gifted (since he is indeed a bookworm and managed to learn more about other weapons by reading only books, he uses this as an advantage to increase his weapon arsenal)
Strength: Normal
Speed: Normal (he may able to run without the need of catching his breath, but he is not as fast as Quicksilver or even Speed for that matter)
Durability: Weak (because he is not a full-fledged Homunculus, he is incredibly weak)
Energy Projection: Long range, long duration, single energy type
Fighting Ability: Experienced fighter (since he is a Homunculus, his combat abilities has been enhanced. Later in the story, he learned how to lift his Homunculi Atom Limiter)


Chapter 1: Running Away


The boy ran as fast as he can, without taking a break from running. But where is he running from, he doesn't know. As far as he is concerned, he still never stopped running like there is a 24/7 marathon at 7:30pm in New York. He never turned back and continued onwards to whatever his senses bring him to. His mind blurred as he felt the sting of his headache, but he doesn't want to stop and pushed himself further until he bumped into the white blonde.

"Whoa, watch where ya going!"

"S-sorry," the younger boy replied. "I didn't see you in front of me." He had gotten himself up, patting himself off from the dust that surrounds his ragged clothes and picked up his large thick book that he dropped and ran off without a word. The platinum-blonde boy just shrugged to himself and went off.

The minute he entered the Stark Tower, the black American called him. "Well, you sure take long enough to buy the groceries, Tommy." He crossed his arms in annoyance that Tommy took more than an hour to come back to the tower with the groceries.

"Hey I wanted ta eat the marshmallows alon' the way," Tommy argued back, stuffing himself with marshmallows. "You could've at least went out and buy some extra groceries if ya so scared of being starved ta death, Eli."

"I'm not, alright?" Eli protested, defending himself. "Besides, we asked you to buy it, no one else." Tommy just rolled his eyes and leaves the groceries in the kitchen. "Hey Kate, the groceries are here!" Tommy called her.

"I'll be there in a sec. Tell Billy to help me out, will you?" Kate replied from her room. She is probably busy doing something in her room. Tommy complied and went towards Billy's room. "Hey Billy, Kate was just askin' you to help 'er out with the cooking."

"Oh? Er-okay then. I'll get back to her later," replied Billy.

To be honest, I wanted to tell how about this guy I've just met a few minutes ago. Gah, it'll wait… yeah, it can wait, alright. I mean, we just met and I'm already wanted to be interested with hi- whoa wait. Does this mean I'm gay or anything? But I still like Kate. But Kate's already with Eli. Urgh, this is getting confusing.

Tommy scratched his head in annoyance and confusion. Thoughts kept on coming into his mind, overheating his brain until he can't take it anymore. He ran out of the Stark Tower and combusted something that caught his eye; a small rock. Despite it being a small rock, its explosion is huge. Maybe he can recover from there. Sitting outside the tower alone, he wanted to forget how he fell in love in first sight in just mere minutes.

As the platinum-blonde came back into the tower, the others are already in their costume, rushing toward the scene of the crime. "Hey, what's going on?"

"Bank robbery, simple as that," the larger, taller blonde replied. "We'll go ahead; you just change into your costume and meet us up there. You're fast, anyway."

"But, what about Iron Man? Is he coming along?" Tommy asked.

"Well," Iron Man replied. "Knowing that, this isn't so major problem, I'm leaving that to you guys. At least you'll do some good for the public, no?" Kate grinned, trying to make a statement on his laziness. "Oh really, Tony? I thought you loved the public attention."

"Now, since when you got that idea, missy?" Iron Man laughed along with her. "I need to do some work anyway. And you guys can handle the problem well enough."

The Young Avengers nodded in agreement and teleported to the robbery after Tommy managed to change into his spandex costume.


The bank is already on fire, and the robbers have yet to leave the bank. The weather is windy but that doesn't dampen the morality of the Young Avengers. The fire keeps on getting bigger and bigger.

"Billy, I need you to extinguish the fire!" Eli commanded. Billy nodded and wished for it to disappear.

I want to extinguish the fire
I want to extinguish the fire
I want to extinguish the fire
I want to extinguish the fire
I want to-

And Billy continued to chant as the fire became smaller and smaller, but not gone. Teddy, Cassie and Eli went into the burning building to save any remaining civilians. Kate and Tommy are already trying their best to capture the robbers.

Kate shot 2 arrows on the robbers' car wheels, disabling them to escape. Tommy then tried to chase the robbers when he was interrupted by a boy. "H-hey, move aside- , "he silently gasped as he saw someone familiar. It's that kid again. That kid is Maxell.

The robbers ran out of their car, trying to escape from them. "They're getting away!" Kate yelled at Tommy. Maxell murmured something, ignoring the shocking looks from both of the heroes. The grimoire that he was holding opened on its own, the pages flipped furiously, some of the pages got torn out of the large book. All of the sudden, a tranquilizer sniper rifle materialized from the book, making as if it came out of the book itself.

"Whoa," both Kate and Tommy said in unison. Maxell gotten ready his sniper rifle, aimed at the first victim, who is still running away from them, with the money grasped on his hands. "Wait, don't kill him!" shouted Kate, but Maxell shot his target. A few seconds later, his first target fainted.

Now he's looking for his second target. He jumped high enough to see the whole street, floating half-way rather peacefully as he sniped from the sky. He found his second victim at the dark alley and shot him with the tranquilizer.

"Who is that guy?" asked Kate.

"I met him earlier a few hours ago," confessed Tommy. "But I didn't know he's a mutant."

As the younger boy landed safely after floating for too long, Tommy ran towards him, asking if he literally killed the two robbers. "No, I didn't," Maxell replied. "I just shot them with a tranquilizer so they'll be asleep." Tommy nodded and raced across the streets to pick them up. Kate went up to him with fascination; another young mutant with a huge potential to be a hero, but a dangerous one, just like Billy.

"You're a mutant, right?" she asked.

"A… mutant…?"

"Mutants are people who have super powers and all that."

"Am I considered… a mutant?"

"Well, conjurations of weapons out of thin air do sound like it."

Maxell thought about it throughout, but then all of the sudden, a huge sting hit his head as he furrowed his eyebrows in pain. He held on his forehead and kneeled in unconsciousness. Kate panicked as Maxell crawled on the floor. But as he reached Kate, he fainted into exhaustion.

Tommy came back with the sleeping robbers and saw Maxell lying on the ground unconscious. "Kate," he asked as he stared at Maxell's body, calm, but scared. "What happened to him?"

"He's just tired, I think," she replied as she carried Maxell. "We'll take him with us back to the Tower to get him analyzed. Let's meet the rest at the bank." Tommy just nodded and walked alongside Kate on the way back to the bank where the gang is at.


Too many shit happens too early and too much. I don't know if I am indeed dreaming, or I am just tripping like I'm sniffing glue or somethi- wait I don't take drugs. Well… even if I don't take it, I still don't feel comfortable at the moment. And I guess I now know how Billy feels; constant nightmares.

And I'm thinking too much either.

Maxell.

Are you okay…?

I guess it's hard to say…

that I actually liked you the minute I met you.

I wanna talk to you after you wake up from your goddamn sleep. But I guess you should rest now, after you've constantly been running away from something.

I hope you didn't run away from me, if that's what you fucking think, you fucking brat. I just wanted to confess myself to you, that's all.


End of Chapter 1: Running Away.

Next time, on Homunculus; Chapter 2: Memoirs of a Fake Being.

"Well, I'll be. Maxell?" said Tony as he placed down his scientific instruments and saw the boy on Kate's arms. The gang was surprised. "Wait, you know his guy?" Tommy asked.

(Next scene)

"I was designed to be a weapon; a weapon to destroy absolute evil," Maxell described his story as he remembered why he was 'created'.

"I was copied and my soul transferred into this vessel," said Maxell, his eyes heavy and stared at the ground, digging deeper into his memories. "This is not even my real body. This is just a mere copy of my true self."

"Then where is your true self, then?" Billy asked. Tony was horrified the minute he realized something, something that he couldn't even forget.

"It's in Transylvania."


Post A/N: I haven't even had the time to do another one. And I also rewritten THE WHOLE OPENING, making him talk about himself in the second chapter.

At first, I was reading the original chapter 1 and it was… a bit ridiculous.

So I decided to rewrite it and make it more sensible (well damn I HOPE it is.) and hope you guys would try to understand.

Reviews are nice if you like reading this. This fanfiction may turn into series depending on the time I can have, plus how popular this would get. Until then!
