Chapter 10: Dark Wizard's Ambition

"I was born Tom Marvolo Riddle. And I am the most powerful wizard in the world. 16 years ago I tried to kill Harry Potter and the curse rebounded upon me causing my body to be destroyed and my mind to float through the air in a state of empty consciousness for 13 years, until one day I was able to restore my body. My ambition is to rule this world, and to prove pure-blooded dominance over all other creatures. So I abandoned my filthy muggle father's name and created for myself a new identity, a name that one day all but my most loyal followers would fear to speak! And there is no one in this world powerful enough to stop me. I am...Lord Voldemort!"

Earth 38

Somewhere in Great Britain

After some contemplation Lord Voldemort began to consider two things, first, he needed to determine what exactly that mysterious portal was that brought him to this alternate Earth to begin with. Second, he had another idea, the only thing that had stopped him from taking over the world was Dumbledore, and all of course the Wizarding governments of each country. But now, not only was he the most powerful wizard in the world, he was now the only wizard in the world, and no one stood against him. No Dumbledore. No wizard governments. And No Aurors. As powerful as Lord Voldemort was, he is not completely omnipotent in a fight against multiple opponents. He was formidable in a fight against multiple skilled Wizards, yes, but if let's say an extremely powerful and skilled wizard like Dumbledore, or a good extremely strong and skilled 7 or 8 Aurors or more were to gang up on him, even Voldemort's skill and power with magic would be overwhelmed, and he would then be captured or killed, though of course with Voldemort's horcruxes he could not die. Theoretically if he sustained a mortal injury like a sword impaling him through the stomach or a gunshot to the heart, his immortality would keep him alive while his body repairs itself. Unless of course his brain was completely destroyed, where he would become a weak spirit again.

But while he was contemplating a way to get back to his Earth and figure out what that mysterious dimensional portal was, as he has many plans not just with finally proving to himself and everyone else that he can kill Harry Potter, but also he has plans with his and Bellatrix Lestrange's baby daughter Delphi, he was now thinking that he could conquer this Earth by himself with no one to stand in his way. And the collective might of the Muggle military would be no match for him. He would need followers though. People to do his bidding. Of course he would prefer pure-blooded wizards, but he was going to have to settle for the next best thing. Muggles that would voluntarily choose to follow him.

So, he went searching for his first loyal, non-magical, followers.

Lord Voldemort apparated to London. He continued to keep the disillusionment charm on him so no one could see him.

He walked through the streets. The people completely unaware of him, unless of course they bumped into him, but he of course would never allow that. The streets were crowded, but he was able to easily maneuver his way through them, plus there were fairly simple anti muggle charms that would make people veer away from him on a subconscious level if they got to close.

Who to recruit to his cause though? He of course had been doing this for a long time. Befriend someone, and with subtle persuasion teach them how his new order in a new world would be better to the one that they are currently living. As the people of Earth live in a world full of chaos, it was not too difficult to convince people of a better world through philosophical discussion. Some people could be bought. Give a greedy person everything that he wants and he'll do whatever you want him to do in exchange for a generous reward. Money, and extravagant gifts we're not a problem for him to give with his magic. Some people would need to be blackmailed. Get the lowest dirt on high-profile and influential people, and he could then get them to do whatever he wants them to do. Some people need to be threatened, tell an influential politician that you'll kill his wife and children if he doesn't do what you want. And of course some people could be bewitched. The Imperius Curse or a very powerful Confundus Spell.

There were also of course the dregs of society; homeless, the runaways, the unfortunate victims of abuse. Those people are easily manipulated when a sympathetic person offers to help them.

Voldemort made his way into a back alley where there just happened to be an unshaven man in tattered clothes who was on the ground hugging the wall of a building for shelter.

'What would be his price for my loyalty.' Thought Voldemort.

Voldemort of course had no sympathy for this man's current state of Lifestyle. To Voldemort this man was pathetic. He probably brought his troubles upon himself; either made bad decisions, or was just lazy.

"Hello my friend." said Voldemort in a kind and sympathetic voice.

The man looked around, he wondered where that voice said come from.

"I'm over here." said Voldemort.

Voldemort was still Disillusioned so the man could still not see him.

The man was also figuring that he was just imagining it, as he had managed to sucker some generous people out of money and then just spent it on alcohol.

"Legillemens." thought Voldemort, non-verbal incantation with a wave of his wand.

He was then able to read the man's mind. He thought of every sad thing that would be in the man's mind.

"Who are you." said the man as he tried talking to the hallucination.

"I want to help you." said Voldemort.

He then lifted the disillusionment charm.

The homeless man was alarmed at Voldemort's sudden appearance and at the grotesque state Voldemort's face.

"I am Lord Voldemort. And I feel your pain." said Voldemort in a tender sympathetic voice.

Voldemort then looked into the man's eye.

"I see a tortured soul that has suffered a great deal of bad luck and misfortune throughout his life."

"Why do you want to help me?" asked the man.

"I possess great powers. And I want to change the world for the better. Starting with helping the lowest of society such as unfortunate people like you. After everything that you've been through don't you think you deserve more?"

The man then unloaded on Voldemort. Told Voldemort everything that has ever happened to him. And why he was in the state of poverty that he was now. Voldemort showed sympathy. And the man responded.

Voldemort then extended his hand.

"Come with me, and I will give you anything and everything you've ever wanted in exchange for your loyalty."

They went to a secluded location, where, with a wave of his wand, Voldemort then conjured the man a modest but comfortable house. And then he gave the man a small fortune of British currency which was counterfeited out of magic, but would pass as a hundred percent real under the scrutiny of experts.

Voldemort then explained the details of the meaning of loyalty to him. The man would never go hungry or be without money again, but that once he was Voldemort's servant, he could never retire from the service.

The man agree to everything. He was extremely taken with Voldemort because of Voldemort's sympathy towards him and understanding of his problems. Little did the man know that Voldemort was just a very good master manipulator.

"I shall need more help." said Voldemort to his new servant. "I need more people. More people who are tortured Souls. More people that need a fresh start...and a job."

The man smiled with pride at the task.

"I can find you the people that you seek...Master!"

National City

Cisco had opened a breach back to the DEO. They didn't bring the whole Cullen House. They just brought Carine, Jessamine, Archie, and EJ because he was a Multiverse refugee. J'onn J'onzz explained that the official report to their superiors on the Cullens was that they are alien refugees that likes to keep a low profile. That way there was no violation of the exposure of vampires.

They were now beginning their search for the Multiverse refugees.

"Alright." said Alex Danvers. "I have all of the video footage that I could find on the breaches that opened up all over the world."

There was a wall that was full of TV Screens, each screen showed video footage of a breach that opened and someone who had come through it.

"Where did you find this footage?" asked Bella.

"Pretty much anywhere and everywhere." said Alex. "Camcorders, cell phones, security cameras, ATM machines. Pretty much anything that was connected to a satellite we were able to hack and get the footage. Though much of the stuff came off of YouTube. Apparently whenever someone records something weird and unusual they want to tell the world that they caught it on video.

"Some of these people are actually in police custody. The police apparently felt a need to haul them into the police station for questioning if a breach just happened to open in front of them. We are sending agents from the DEO to them too request their release on court order. Some of these people are hiding out, scared and confused. As for the rest of them, I'm not sure how to find them yet."

Then Doctor Banner had an idea.

"How many spectrometers do you guys have?" he asked.

"Why?" asked J'onn J'onzz.

"I think I can use them to find the Multiverse refugees."

"How many do you need?" asked J'onn J'onzz.

"All of them. Contact every laboratory in the world that you can and tell them to put their spectrometers on their roofs and sent them to scan for Dark Matter radiation."

"Why Dark Matter radiation?"

"Because every single person that came through one of those breaches would have had their physical bodies tagged with dark matter radiation particles." said Cisco. "It's a side effect of my Powers."

"Using anyone in the world who is tagged with dark matter radiation was an idea I thought of back in my own Universe." explained Dr. Banner. "It's what I was doing to scan for gamma radiation in order to find the Tesseract."

"What's the Tesseract?"

"A piece of alien technology. Some kind of power source of absolute unimaginable immense power. Anyway, I though we could track the closed breaches and Multiverse refugees the same way."

"Then let's get to work."

Author's note: Hope you liked the dramatic effect. Lol. Please just go with what is unrealistic...though that's probably all of it. Lol. I know it's a short chapter, but it is a more frequent update.

Please review!
