"Chapter 2 : I finally meet him !
Metropolis' beach, 08:10 a.m
For a Strange reason I did not know Diana fell face down in the sand right after I shaked her hand, I thought it was because of the Journey who tired her.
So after I met Diana on the beach I did the only sane thing to do : I took an italian ice cream that is curiosly named "Soft Serve" in america, why I did it ?
Because for one I knew I was still a guy who met a beautiful girl so blame the DNA, for two, Diana enjoyed ice cream from "justice league war" and I did not take an italian ice cream for months so there was not any problems, until she tasted the ice cream, she was in trance from it and ate the whole thing but she wanted more even if it was a double ice cream; I had tens dollars before and the double cost two dollars; I had no more money when she had enought.
"- this is more delectable than ambrosia." she declared with stars in her eyes, yes i saw star, it was weird but my whole situation is less believable than a cartoon reaction.
"yes, italian ice cream is definitely the best candy ever !" I told her, "So you have sailed on your own ?"
"sailing is one of the many things we amazons learn at Themyscira, along with archery, fencing and languages." she told me
"- So why do you think our world needs you ?" I asked with a bit of fear in my heart, I really hoped she was not here for the firstborn, Darkseid or even worst because yes I got curious about the comics and found there were things way worst than him so it said a lot.
"The oracle told me that your world has threats every days and it needed of a great hero to protect all of your kind." she declared with a big smile on her face.
"Okay but what do you know about this world ? because it is not really like your paradise, here you need money to buy food, to have a roof above your head …"
"A roof on my head ?" she interrupted med.
"Sorry, English is not my first language and it is an expression, but the thing is that you are in a brand new world so can't just live here like that, did you even though about money ?"
"Well, I have those gold coins." Then she showed me her hand full of these, now I was sure that money would not be a problem for her.
"okay but where will you sleep ?"
- "In the drakkar." she answered and to be fair it sounded rather cool, I had nothing else to tell her since she was an amazon who probably fought when my grandfather was still a baby so I was sure she had enough experience.
"Sound fun, well now that I know where is your ship I can come to visit you later." I shouldn't have said that.
"yes, it would be helpful to have someone to guide me trhough the world of men." She dragged me to the city before I could gave her my answer, before this day I would be uncomfortable to be with someone but with an amazon and a childhood idol, no problem.
- "So the most important thing you have to remember is that most of the time someone have bad intention." I told her while we were heading to the daily planet, why here ? Because I wanted to see it of course.
- "But why ?" She asked me.
- "Because most of people are jerks who care more about themselves than the others, heck the most beautiful city have literally a "suicid slum".
- "So I can't accept any gifts from anyone ?" she asked with what seemed a disappointed look
- "- Don't accept free food or drinks at least." I tried to comfort her.
- "you gave ice creams." she stated.
"- And it was your first deadly mistake in man world, I want to be clear, I'm doing my best to be a good man but not everyone want to be good so to be short : when someone want you to follow them you stay on your guard, Always be careful around boys who stare at you : Don't hit them but be careful." I do not wanted to be a jerk but I wanted to help Wonder Woman, I liked her in justice league unlimited.
- "your advice are welcome." she said althrough she was unsure. "but it sound awful."
- "That's why it needs you." I answered.
when we arrived at the daily planet, we could watche the giant globe in the Morning, no Tv show nor comics could represent how it was.
I did not meet Clark Kent outside the building and I did not wanted to come inside and disturb everyone so I kept my walk with a friend, to be fair I never had many friends so I just walked around Metropolis, explained to her some things like :
Cars aren't monsters !, the TV is not a prison, no phones aren't weapons" It was like this for hours, after that She went back to her drakkar and me to my foster home.
Drakkar, Diana's room 11 : 30
Diana knew it was her destiny to save this world when the oracle at Aphrodite's temple told her to be the next hero, braver than Achille and greater than Hercules, she would surpass them all. She also was curious of the world outside her island and she was not disappointed, this land had structures unknows to her who was an architect, those phones could be quicker than arrows but there was also him.
She never saw a boy before, yes her mother and sisters told her to be careful around men but Zack was not one, he did not have a beard nor grey hair so he was obviously too Young to be a man, sure he told her that his wolrd was ugly but he did it to warn her of its dangers so he was not an evil creature.
She sighed, looking at the ceiling, a slight blush on the face, he was far from the cyclops her aunt talked her about when she descrived mankind; Walker, what an interesting name.
Metropolis' mall 14 : 00
When the Zeuls brought me at the mall to buy clothes I knew it was going to be a bad day; first of all I had to wait just to go to the dressing room because with a new body I did not know what size I should take and it was really annoying, also I have taken a look at my new body for the first time in the mirror and I really liked what i saw : I had more muscles than the ones I had after six months of musculation and my black hair were blonds in this new body, I never liked to look at my reflection but now i was really okay with it.
Since I never cared to look good before I was okay with anything as long it was not a jean , even the pink jacket because if I got a new life for any Reason I don't know I should not care to what people think of it.
BOOM
Just when I put it on I heard an explosion, how could I forgot that i was in Metropolis, well at least superman was here, I quietly came out of the romm even if everyone panicked, the scientist who took me in where at another partnof the shop to bring other clothes; I hopped they were fine.
I got out the store and here I saw what it was.
" Superman, show yourself !" screamed a blond man with the escalator in his hands, yes I said escalator because he apparently ripped it off and probably intended to use it as a weapon.
Three secon later, the man of steel was in front of him, I was in a devastated mall in front of a superpowered maniac and Superman so now it was officially the best day of my lifes.
"Corben, what happened to you ?" Asked Clark to his adversary.
My eyes widened when I heard this name because I was one of those hardcore fans of the cartoon who remember even smalls details and this guy was really Dangerous.
Quest : help the man of steel against the iron man
objective : help superman against Metallo because he really needs it
rewards : Goods actions keep you away from hell !
you can teleport and know yugo's powers, just imagine a portal and it will appear, it's like Moving your arm and you know his weakness
Failure : you Don't want to know
Okay, it was not a gamer power like in the fanfictions, and since I do not wanted to go to hell; just after the mission disappeared, Metallo threw the escalator at Superman who passed through it and went into the robot, Metallo stopped Superman, his metal hands against the kryptonian.
"I'm as strong as you now" I heard the merc while both of them were to busy to paid attention to me.
"No" responded the man of steel before he pushed forward, I kew that my childhood hero was holding back since the begining but I prepared myself for what was going to happen.
"You're wrong." Declared Metallo before he opened his chest and exposed Superman to the kryptonite, it took just a secon for the latter one to fell on his knee a his adversary profited of it to kneel him.
Just when Superman was sent away, I created a portal in front of me and plunged my hand in it then a second portal was created just in front of the chest.
"What the hell !" Corbin exclaimed when he saw it, I ignored his reaction and just tried to grab his power source, unfortunuately he closed it on my hand.
It really hurted !
I knew I could still reach the kryptonite but the villain had the idea to pull me out from the portal in front of him.
"Kid you took the worst decision of your life." He tried to punch me with his left harm; I was so panicked that I quickly tried to use my left hand to block it and created two portals at the same time and just like in Wakfu it created a laser beam.
Metallo stopped and just watched in disbelief, like me, his left arm : it was still here but skinless, there was just a robotic arm.
You're level one, what did you expected ?
"I felt nothing." He was so shocked taht he ignored me "What did you …" he angrily started before both of us where on the ground, Superman just reccupered and immobilized him, apparently my hand covered enough to protect him from the radiation.
"Now ! " screamed Superman before he opened the chest and exposed himself to the radiation, when I saw the glow I ignored the pain in my right and took off the rock at the first opportunity, Corbin did not even time to scream before he ran out of power.
I was heavily panting from the stress after that, it was a near death experience but curiously I did not feel real fear, maybe because I already saw an angel.
"Are you okay ?" asked me Superman, after I put the kryptonite in my jacket, I had a closer look to him and he seemed young ? I expected to see an adult like my dad but he looked like an older brother.
"My hand hurts." I answered, it was red from where the door closed, i rarely felt pain like this and I could feel tears around my eyes.
"it doesn't seem broken; do you think he is dead ?" he asked me worried about Metallo.
"He probably jus ran out of power." I said.
"The portals ?" he asked me.
"I just had the power yesterday so I Don't really know but please can see a doctor right now ?"
He nodded his head before escorting me to the ambulance who came not long after the fight, my Foster parents were here apparently they were taken by the crowd who escaped, they were good peoples for scientists; a med told me that my hands was going to be okay.
Superman stayed until he was sure everyone was fine then he took Metallo at Star Lab, I gave the kryptonite to some guys in suits because Superman could not hold it without a lead protection.
"Be careful guys, it's carcinogenic !" I adverted them because I tought that it was not knew till this day. Just after they went barck to their truck, I realized that I missed the most important thing of this day :
"I forgot to ask Superman his autograph !" I met the man of steel and I even talked to him but I did not even have a selfi.
The way back to the house was fine, no one was really shocked of the attack and despite my missed Opportunity I was still happy to have met my childhood hero, I got a Steven Universe jacket, (why would I take it otherwise), and everything that I got was for free after the attack.
"Are okay Zack ?" Asked Baetrice, the afro-american woman looked worried.
"Yes, my hand still hurts me but the pain is weaker than before so I will survive." I answered her, it was a bit weird for me to have fosters parents but it could have been worst, at least I did not steal the parents of an innocent
She smiled and I felt warm after that.
When we got back home I was really surprised by Doris reaction, she was almost crying and holding her parents in her arm, I guessed she cared about them, Iwent to my room, I did not wanted to intrude.
Congratulation. You survived a fight betwen Metallo and Superman
- A high classed villain was defeated thanks to you.
you 60 000 xp

"title : apprentice hero" gained
I guessed that a Superman's villain was a big boss, "Stats." I said
Zack Walker (apprentice hero)
eliatrope
Age : 15
level : 5
xp : 0/50000
lp : Sory but with your hands you should' ve realized that you won't have Lp.
STR : 7
SPD : 10
wakfu : 5000
My ability lacked some of the best powers that a gamer had but it was probably asking too much to have them, I even had theories about it, I supposed that since the inentory in the Wakfu's game was the character bag I thought it was needed to have this ability, for the Lp it would be wrong to be almost indestructible and for the stats of the other it was just because I did not said stats.
In one day, I met Wonder Woman and Superman, I helped to beat Metallo, I had my favorite ice cream and I got a Jacket so it was a really good day.
Hi reader, so you already guessed that yes Zack met Wonder Woman, I tried to writte her "crush" the best way I could because yes he is the first man she saw so it happens but I do not want to make of Zack a guy who has a lot of girl after him, he is not supposed to be this sort of guy.
Also yes his laser just damaged Metallo's skin because Zack was level one, just the fact he got four level for helping superman to beat Metallo said a lot about the difference between them; If Zack had a chance it was because of the surprise effect and because Metallo just had his body for a few hours, if it was a direct confrontation and Metallo took it seriously, the robot would have murdered Zack.
Zack has the powers of an eliatrope/eliotrope but just for one day, even if he saw every Wakfu episode he has no real experiene so he did the simplest thing while he knew Metallo's weakness.
I hope you enjoyed it.
