I gave Peter an elder sister. Why? I wanted him to have another sister other than Teresa and also to fit Peter as a middle child instead of the eldest. She is actually based on a character that I actually own of the same name. She's been watered down power wise to fit in the marvel universe. In my story she's the Nanite Queen. In this one well read and find out. Let me know what you think of her personality.
When Thor returned home to Asgard, to the realm Eternal, he made a beeline directly towards where he knew his father would be. Thor was furious and his rage was targeted at his own Father and King. Odin the Allfather was standing in the tree of Life chamber. He was busy with work when Thor threw Odin's guards out of the way as he marched towards his back.
"You lied to me!"
Odin responded distantly as his mind was on other things. "I lie to you all the time. What lie have you caught me about this time?" As he spoke he turned around. His face had a look of dismissiveness to it.
Seeing his face Thor couldn't control himself so he threw Mjolnir at Odin. The Allfather easily caught the handle and pointed it back at Thor.
"You forget your place! You forget who gave you this hammer in the first." After a noticeable past pause Odin continued. "I am you King first and your Father second. Just as you are a Prince first, my son second, and a god last!" Odin yelled and then growled back at Thor.
With that Thor called the hammer back to him and Odin allowed it.
"Why did you lie to me about the tree of Life? I thought it was supposed to be the center of life. I thought it was the incarnation of all life force energy. Now I find out that Spider-Man is the center. That the Phoenix force is the incarnation of life energy."
Odin just looked at Thor like he was a pestering child annoying him. It was a look of disappointment and slight contempt.
"On the matter of Peter Parker. You were not privy to the information about his importance because you did not need to know. You are not privy to information regarding the cosmic balance because you Thor Odinson have proven yourself rash and hot headed. You've proven time and again that you are nothing like Loki. You do not think before you act."
"Sometimes it's necessary to act instead of just talk."
"Now is not one of those times." As Odin said this he funneled some of his Odin force back into the tree of Life by placing his palm on the tree. For the first time since coming into the room Thor actually looked at the tree. It looked like it was going through winter. It's leaves were strewn about the great Hall. Thor was crunching on its leaves as he stood. This brought Thor out of his rage. The tree of Life should be Eternal. This should perhaps never happen. At a closer look the tree seemed to be dying.
"I did not tell you about the cosmic balance because you were not ready to bear the burden. But now it seems I don't have a choice."
"What are you saying father?"
"(Sigh) Before... Back when I was King to all and father to none. I had a lover. She was host to the Phoenix. She's buried here in this very room. Under the tree. I planted a seed at great Anansi's advice. That seed grew into this tree. Since then after I partake of the fruit it has provided... I am imbued with power I didn't have before."
"Are you saying that the Odin force..."
"Yes. It is power. Power borrowed from the Phoenix force. From the web of life." As Odin said this a small fruit grew out on the tree as if by magic. Odin plucked the fruit. He turned and handed it to Thor. "And now it must be returned if we are to have a tomorrow."
(With Grail)
She and the others were a few meters away from the fighting cosmic entities. She noted the heroes getting ready to fight. Years ago she would have let them leap to their deaths as cannon fodder but she was a better person now thanks to Diana. She wasn't going to just let them all kill themselves.
"What do you heroes think you're doing?" Grail asked as she pulled down the hood on her red and black imperial cloak.
"We're preparing to defend the Earth?" Superman responded his eyes focused solely on the fighting women.
The man's overconfidence got on Grail's nerves. She knew with his personality he shouldn't be overconfident. And to his credit he tried not to be. But with an entire planet basically worshipping you it's hard to forget you're not a god. Superman had the speed, strength, and energy output of a god too! So that didn't help. But Kal El did not possess the soul of a god. He was easily swayed by worldly ideals. And that also meant he would be no help in this fight. At least not yet.
"None of you are going out there to fight those two!"
"We're not going to leave you to fight those two for us. This is our home." Diana said her usual compassion and determination in her voice.
"Diana I love you, but you're not going to be any help. Besides did you forget I was born on the same island as you. This is my home planet. It's not going to be destroyed or conquered on my watch."
"Why do you suggest we stand down?" Batman asked.
Her father once told her, aside from Spider-Man and Wolverine, Batman was the most dangerous Earth human. It took years of knowing the JL through her relationship with Diana to see it. The thing her father feared was Bruce's mind. The crazy thing was she could sense a small amount of divinity from his mind. Like he was descended from some god and his mental strength was on par with the likes of Thoth. That was a frightening prospect. But over the years Grail had begun to notice and respect the fact that the man could figure anything out and anyone. All except Peter but he was an exception to the rule.
"You do know what those two represent right? The sum total of all life energy that has existed, will exist, and is existing simultaneously. Last I checked you're all living beings. Those two could literally decide to cut you off from the life energy they are allowing you to have right now and you'd drop dead. In order to fight them you'd need to be powered by a force of nature that can actually harm them or transcends them. I have both. The Omega effect ignores their power, and need I remind I'm the goddess of Anti life. So unless you guys have the power of death gods like Hades stay out of my way. If you want to help, protect the civilians out in the city. I'm not confident I can keep the fighting just between us here in the desert but I'm gonna try."
"What about Lord Liu Kang?" Iron Man asked. He hated not being able to go out there and fight at all.
Grail glanced at the Titan as she prepared to enter the fight. "He's the god of fire and lightning and Keeper of Time. He's useless, no offense, in this fight."
"She's right. The Phoenix and Goblin force both transcend time itself." Liu Kang confirmed.
"Yeah and what is lightning and fire gonna do to things made of fire!" Grail added as sarcastically as she could muster given the situation. Peter definitely had been rubbing off on her prior to all this.
"Even so I still plan to fight."
"You serious?" Grail asked.
"You'd be surprised what two dragons are capable of Grail." Liu Kang said knowingly. "But first I'll put up a barrier."
Suddenly Liu clapped his hands and a mysterious bubble expanded outwards. It covered a huge radius before it stopped.
"There I've stopped the flow of time outside this bubble now any stray energy that leaves here will not harm those outside. I've erected another around Peter. It should help speed up his recovery."
"Well at least we have time on our side." Grail quipped.
"Gods above Peter's rubbing off on you!" Diana exclaimed.
"Shit I know!" Grail replied.
Grail and Diana's relationship to Peter was weird to say the least. Prior to his disappearance the couple often enjoyed double dates with MJ and Peter. Often enough MJ and Diana would describe Peter and Grail as borderline flirting. They couldn't figure out who was initiating the flirting with who though. Having inherited her father's throne- Wait no that's not quite right. After usurping her father's throne from her other family members Grail began exploring the cosmic depths of both the Omega effect and the Anti life equation. The result of which was Grail coming to understand Peter's importance and his deep connection to herself. Rather she liked it or not Peter could understand her. He understood the notion of doing good rather the populace liked you or not. This understanding of each other led to a small attraction and that was the cause of their behavior. Peter and Diana worked to instill Earth values that Amazon war culture didn't teach. Grail's lessons from Earth clashed with what she understood from Apokalips and the countless dimensions beyond. But Peter's teaching position fed into Grail's cosmic attraction to him.
The equation was the real power behind Grail and what kept most of Apokalips in line. To the common people Darkseid had been after the equation for years. They believed it to be a power that surpassed Darkseid. And here Grail was in complete and total control of it thanks to the training she received on Earth. Grail understood the true meaning of life. She figured out what Darkseid couldn't and that was why she had such vast control over both the Omega effect and the Anti life equation. Grail figured out that life is what you make of it. It had no one single design and therefore many equations could both support it and counter it. The Anti life equation was merely used to figure out a job. It was essentially a questionnaire and if you passed you got the job of Anti monitor. Grail not only passed she aced the test unlike her father who at best scored a C average. This meant Grail unlocked the powers full and untapped potential. It also meant Grail controlled it and not the other way around.
Diana had her own unique bond with Peter. Diana once came to Peter with a problem and to her slight amazement he had an answer. Years ago her younger brother Jason donned armor created by their father Zeus for her. It was a gift that would enable Diana to channel the full might of any Olympian god she chose.(canon) The problem with it was that it would only channel one god at a time. Her task was to see if Peter could unbind her gift from her brother. Peter wasn't able to do that but he did one up her.
(Years ago)
"So do you think you can do something about this?" Diana had finally finished explaining things to Peter. She chose Peter to help her with her problems not because he was also a hero but because Peter was the world's foremost expert on Biochemistry. She figured something like that had to be involved in the armor her father made her. Though Peter obviously wasn't her first choice. She had previously taken her brother to see both Doctors Fate and Strange. They both claimed that the magic it would take to separate Jason from the armor had too high a price. Seeing that it was meant for Diana and made by a Sky Father god (King of the gods) it made sense her father would take steps to insure it couldn't be taken off by someone else. Since magic couldn't fix the problem Diana turned to science.
Peter was currently in his Horizon labs office. Having heard everything from Diana he got to work. He was examining and scanning Jason as she looked on.
"Well that is fascinating. It's kinda like Ock's tentacles in that there is a connection between the suit and his nervous system. He's able to command it with his thoughts alone. I've never seen anything this advanced in my life and I've seen a lot in my day."
"So are you able to separate it from him?"
"Good news bad news time. Bad news is I can't separate them. Good news is I think I can fix the situation at least. I don't have the tech to pull it off. Not here anyway. But I know someone who does... just pray she's willing to help."
"Who is this mystery person?"
"She sorta considers herself my older sister. I kinda do too. Speaking of sisters Teresa should be coming by. Send her up when she gets here. She might be able to help me convince our sibling to pitch in." With that Peter left to go back to his office room.
After several hours of waiting in Peter's lower lab Diana grew restless and barged into his office. She saw him just as he powered down a holographic projection that looked like it came from Star Wars. He turned slightly surprised to see her.
"Any news?"
"Yes good ones in fact. She's willing to give my idea a try and help us with it. She'll be bringing her equipment with her shortly."
"Who exactly is this older sister of yours? I've never heard you mention her to anyone!" Diana left off the part about an older sister not being in Bruce's files on Peter. Although the files never mentioned Teresa either.
"I'm not exactly sure how much I'm allowed to tell you... Hmmm. She works for a U.S. government agency or former agency. She was born Eva Marie but right now her public name is Vanessa Locke. She was trained in espionage by my parents. At the time she considered them to be parental figures for herself. Apparently they had been trying to get pregnant even back then. Unluckily for them both my Dad and Mom had small chances of conceiving a child individually. Together and well... Anyway Eva didn't really have a parental figure growing up so my parents kinda adopted her and she them. Eventually I was born but by that time Eva was a major spy in her own right."
"Seems like you could say a lot." Diana grinned at Peter.
Peter didn't return it. "She told me to tell you that her agency was aware of Themyscira years before Steve Trevor made it to your island. Apparently the agency considered wiping it off the map but she convinced them not to."
At that Diana frowned. "Is her agency as overconfident as Shield."
"The organization she works for is above Shield's pay grade."
That floored Diana. She had never heard of an organization bigger than Shield. Or Cadmus for that matter. An organization the JL and the Avengers hadn't encountered before. The JL leader in her was worried now.
"Are you certain? Can you really not say anymore."
"No he can't say anymore." A woman with black hair and black lipstick answered for Peter. She literally just appeared in the room out of thin air riding a motorcycle. She had her helmet in her hand. All in all her look reminded Diana of something out of Tron. She looked like she had many circuits running all throughout her body as well as her bike. She was wearing a skintight black leather catsuit that had various symbols glowing a light blue. Even her eyes were glowing the same color. She wore a genuine smile, as she seemed focused on Peter.
Diana knew that look. It was one of pride. She figured this woman was proud of Peter. That seemed evidence enough for Diana to assume that the woman was Peter's supposed elder sister.
"And you are this Eva Ma-" Diana paused as the woman held up her hand.
"Vanessa Locke. I haven't been called by my birth name in a very long time."
"Peter seems to not be able to say much on you but perhaps you can tell me what it is you actually do."
At first she looked at her and smiled at him again. "Thank you for keeping your information to yourself little bro." Now Vanessa turned to focus on Diana. "I've been given special permission to divulge limited information about my branches of our agency. I am not to reference any of the other branches or their heads other than to inform you that there are other branches of the agency. Now question Ms. Prince, you know of the O.S.S.?"
"Know of- I used to work for the O.S.S. Both myself and Steve Trevor."
"The Office of Strategic Services never disbanded. Most members were cut off but it continued on in secret. We have been forced to evolve and now no longer exist under any governmental authority. In fact we operate both Shield and Sword. You could say they're the SS in OSS."
"So let me get this straight the OSS never disbanded? You work for them? And on top of all that you're saying you guys secretly control both Shield and Sword."
"That is correct Ms. Prince. I'm at liberty to discuss myself so I'll tell you about me now. I'm the only branch director to run more than one branch. I control both the technologies branch and the fields agents branch."
"She's basically James Bond." Peter said from the sidelines.
"Please!" Vanessa scoffed. "That dude's based off me."
Diana smirked with her arms folded. "So you're a womanizer that sleeps with women and then when you're done with them you leave or they die. All this despite the fact that you're also a woman."
After several moments Vanessa began to speak matter of factly. "Yeah womanizer sums up my sex life pretty accurately." Seeing Diana's expression Vanessa continued. "Oh come on you don't actually think a man could actually score that often with women do you? As a woman, an Amazon no less, you should know it's easier for a woman to seduce a woman than it is for a man. Seriously some of the best womanizers in history have been women."
"Sorry Diana she doesn't come with a filter. It's just crass or vulgar from her. Despite her stance on sex-"
"Which is have it as often as I can."
"(Sigh) Despite that, she's probably the smartest person on the planet. She's the world's foremost expert on Nanotechnology for certain."
"Now there is a sidenote with that." Diana noted that Vanessa had gotten extremely serious suddenly. Like that playfulness from before had vanished. "Peter here is probably the smartest person on Earth without augments by our calculations. I have many augments thanks to the nano bots coursing through my veins. They increases my intelligence by a lot, I'm just gonna say a lot. And who you calling crass? I'm very intelligent Thank you very much!" Diana Cath caught that she didn't mention anything about vulgar.
"By my estimates each nanite has the computational power of your brain as is. So considering that... your base IQ should be multiplied by the number of nanites in your system." Peter added on while rolling his eyes.
"Wow little bro that is actually pretty close to how it works."
"And how many nano bots do you have in you right now?" Diana asked in threat assessment mode.
"Several trillion. Like hundreds of trillions." Vanessa stated bluntly.
Diana's mind been to analyze. The highest IQ can go on the scale is 300 meaning her computational strength stops there.
'Problem is her memory recall on top of processing power is well.' "Beyond belief." Diana thought out loud.
(Okay I feel I need to dumb down this right here. Basically what she can know has not changed. Essentially anything a regular human can't figure out given time she can't either. However she can figure out anything that is humanly possible in essentially an instant. On top of that she has a massive amount of memory space in her head. Any problem she's ever solved she can perfectly recall how to solve it.)
"They are the size of atoms." Vanessa added helpfully back to her playful personality. "When I first started injecting them into myself I wanted one for every atom in my body but that's an Octillion and I don't have enough bots for that... Who am I kidding of course I have enough bots for that. Truth is it's unnecessary to house that many in myself. The amount I have is more than enough."
"So what can you do?"
"Excuse me honey?"
"Well if you're Peter's sister, although not biologically, and you're willing to be around him despite his luck well that just means you have something extra going on. So what can you do?"
"Well aside from fuck like no one else on Earth- hmmm... You ever played Watch Dogs?"
"No what's that?" Diana frowned in thought.
"You know what nevermind. Basically anything automatic on Earth I can control. I can also make constructs like your Green Lantern friends. Either true constructs though matter manipulation, Nano imitation constructs, or hard light constructs. I can also fabricate anything you can think of given enough time."
"And that's why Peter called you here..." Diana finally caught on to why Peter contacted his older sister.
"Exactly" Peter confirmed. "I figured since I can't get the suit off of him maybe if we make a copy and you are the one wearing it we can trick them into only recognizing you as the host. Failing that at least both of you will have the suit. Science at work Diana."
"Just one problem Peter. Did you forget the suit was made by Zeus King of the gods."
"Mt. Olympus and no you don't understand the best part-"
"I met Zeus before." Vanessa interrupted with a thoughtful look on her face. "He's not nearly as good in bed as Hera."
Now that comment Diana couldn't just ignore. "Excuse me?"
"Yeah baby momma?"
"You're not suggesting that you've slept with a god, my father Zeus no less. And I definitely know you're not suggesting that Hera, Queen of the gods and of marriage, faith, and motherhood, was ever unfaithful."
"Well I'm not suggesting she let some dick that wasn't Zeus's inside her pussy if that's what you're thinking." After a very long pause Diana assumed Vanessa was done talking. Just as Diana was about to return to her conversation with Peter Vanessa continued. "But what I am saying is that I've ridden your dad's cock before and it's not all that great. I don't get how soooo many women have been seduced by it. I mean Peter's bigger than him-"
"Hey don't bring me into this."
Ignoring Peter's outburst Vanessa continued. "And I've slipped my tongue inside your Queen's pussy. And I've shoved my whole fist in there. Still can't believe she had never been fisted before. Oh I also fucked Aphrodite... And Artemis... And Athena... And Eris. Yeah your entire family tree are sluts for pussy."
So what do you guys think of Vanessa Locke so far? Review with your thoughts on her.
