"Okay, did you know that there was a competition here to get a free meal?" V asked as we sat at a table in a dinner we had found on a street corner.

"I didn't, it was simply luck," I responded as I took a bite of my burger.

"Sounds like an excuse, but I believe you," V said in kind as she ate her food.

All the while, I sat with my phone as I tried to gather about this fusion superhero setting that we had entered. Though the first thing I had done was to see if Brockton Bay was a thing and thankfully, it was not, which meant that this wasn't also a Worm fusion.

I tried searching on the net about all the trivia I knew about the two superhero settings to try and create a timeline and what universes this fusion could be compared too. I kept my clairvoyance to a minimum as I knew there were a lot of beings here who did not appreciate being looked at. Though from what I could gather from all the currently active heroes, this like a mix between DC Animated Series and Earth Mightiest.

Though right now, there wasn't either any Avengers or Justice League. However, the Titans were a thing in Central City but not the large organization that had formed in the show. Which was lead by Nightwing, and Batman looked to be on Tim now. Though strangely enough, Darkseid had not made an appearance on Earth, and so no Superman being brainwashed and made to attack Earth, which meant that cop guy was still alive.

"So Anders, what have you managed to learn about this world?" V asked.

"This is a world of Superhero and Superheroes where the fantastical is real, and legends walk the Earth ranging from low-level forest spirits to Gods of any myth. You could say that this is an Amazing Fantasy," I responded in a narrator's voice, and I rather liked the last part.

"Demons?" She asked.

"Many, but most are stuck in hell or can't really do much without getting summoned or making a deal with another being. But here many surpasses both Mundus and Urizen in threat level. But that is something to be concerned with for later," I told her.

"I see, then do you have a plan for what we should do?" She asked, and I took a sip of my soda. For that was a really good question, there really was no need to get involved. The heroes would handle all the threats as they usually would.

But that would boring, that would be oh so boring. I didn't want to sit on the sidelines, and just everyone else has fun in wanted to be in the middle of the action blasting everyone with Gate of Babylon and tons of other fun toys. I knew that was my Gilgamesh side talking, but I was in a hundred percent agreement. But since this wasn't a standard world that I knew so I didn't know what wrenches to throw in then, and there. But it was similar enough I knew exactly what kind of people to fuck with on both sides of the fusion. Also, I sincerely hoped the Light was a thing here, cause ruining those mongrels ambitions would entertainment enough for a lifetime.

Of course, I needed to so stuff to unlock more worlds to visit and run around in to and derail shit, but this would be our main world of operations. But to do things, I would need to summon the preselected girls, to get access to all the others.

For if I was honest with myself, I had made some bad choices, while they were all people I kinda liked. They were all focused on offense and lacked a great deal of utility with them except for 2B, who could probably hack most stuff.

But still what to do for now? As this was April, shit usually happened around this time in comic books. So we would get to do stuff soon enough, but first…

"First of we should probably try and establish a legal identity along with a base of power, but if you want. You could establish your own Devil May Cry as there is actually not a lot of heroes that deal with magic shit like demons at least here in America," I told her.

V put her hand to her face looking like she was thinking about it. "That sounds like a good idea, despite being an absolute moron most of the time, Dante did have a bright idea regarding that shop his." She put her hand down. "Though what about right now?"

"Honestly, I want to take a walk around Metropolis to get a feel for the place; see the sights…" An idea came to my head. "You know I have and for what we can do until 'shit happens' the portal can only go to where we have been after we've entered a world. So how about a little road trip across the state? And then taking trips to the major sights around the world?"

"…That actually sounds like a novel idea, I think I will join you on that," She responded with a smile on her face.

I was glad V liked the idea. "And we can also bust the heads of any morons we run into," I added, and she replied with a slight smirk. "So, wanna go for a walk?"

"I thought you would never ask," V responded as she stands up, and I followed.

We left the Dinner and bit goodbye to the owner for the 'free meal,' and the two of us went on our merry way.

But it seemed the universe wanted to throw us a curveball as after a few minutes of walking down the Mainstreet of Metropolis after having grabbed a map from a stand we were witness to seeing a massive armored truck crash right into the front doors of the Bank of America: Metropolis scattering the people as they ran away screaming from the scene as men decked in riot gear and carrying heavy riffles left the back of it.

"Well, V, you wanted something now you got it," I said as I pointed at the blatant criminal actions that were taking place in front of us.

"Only if you join me, Anders," V stated as santered towards the bank, and I followed.

"Not like I am needed here, but I provide some cuffs for them, and I am sure Griffon will appreciate roasting some lovely humans," I stated as we walked through the hole where we saw the armored criminals in the middle of robbing the bank like it was GTA V.

"Sure I do kid, you brainless morons do you know that bank robberies while the most common crime gives you the least amount of cash. What a shocking fact, right?" Griffon asked at the same time he unleashed demonic lightning on all the suckers who had thought this was a good idea.

"Does he always?" I asked.

"Sometimes?"

"How does he?"

"He likes to use a computer sometimes and go on the internet."

"Huh? So have the authorities been called?" I asked the civilians who just nodded at me and V, along with Griffon, who was now sitting on her shoulder.

"Great, thank you now time to tie you all up," I said to the twitching criminals on the ground. This was one of the reasons why I had chosen V. As no matter what kind of damage her familiars did to a person, they could never kill them, as they were nightmares. "Though I honestly gotta ask who put you, idiots, up to this?"

"You think someone made them do this?" V asked as she assisted in cuffing them alongside the security guards.

"Because this is Metropolis, if they wanted money, they should have done scams and hacking instead. Because that at least lets you avoid being punked by Superman, and those guns look a little too above market value," I said as I hoisted up one of the rifles that they had carried. "Definitely some kind of energy-based one, this probably a trap to lure in Superman to test it out and see if it hurts him."

"Yeah, I can definitely see that being the case," A male voice spoke, and I turned around to see Superman walking through the whole. "Oh, and thank you for handling them," He said with face and body language that screamed relaxation and kindness.

"H-hmm, you're welcome, sir," I stuttered slightly as pure joy rose in my heart for this was fucking Superman! Who the fuck wouldn't be excited and happy to see this guy in real life. "We just did our civil duty of putting down some mongrels. Isn't that right, mongrels?" I got a series of groans from the cuffed robbers. I now know why Gil likes saying it, mongrel? Such a pleasant word to pass one's lips.

"Though shouldn't you be in school?" He asked with a kind smile.

"Shouldn't you be at work?" I responded in a joking tone, and Superman let out a chuckle. Guess go asked that a lot and found it funny. "I might not look like it, but I am twenty-two. I just got into an accident with a youth-potion. And it won't leave my system even if I can overpower it. I just revert back to this," I stated with a tone irritation. And that wasn't a lie Kid-Gil came about via the potion of youth.

"Ah, I hope you manage to get that fixed," He said in a sympathetic tone.

"I hope so to I don't want to grow up again, puberty was bad enough the first time," I responded in a defeated tone. "And don't you even V."

"Don't what Anders?"

"I know what you were going to say in response to that."

"You have no proof."

"You're face says enough."

"Guess you two are friends?" Superman asked as we began to make our way out of the bank, the Man of Steel removing the truck as police rolled up.

"Yeah, we are on a bit of road trip, and made a stop here to see the sights," I answered with a slight shoulder shrug.

"Then, I hope you enjoy your stay."

Uh, Sir, could I ask you something?" I asked.

"Surething... Anders, was it? Yes, you can."

"Could I have your autograph, please?" I asked as I held out a fancy notebook with a pen.

I was in front of freaking Superman, and I was going to get a freaking autograph.

And the Man of Steel just let out a hearty laugh as he picked up the pen.
