[March| 2030]
[Metropolis | 3 rd Person POV]
The month of March had been strange
Percy had spent the entire month in Metropolis
***scene start***
Clark and Percy were walking through the streets of Metropolis towards the new Metropolis museum.
Percy was still trying to figure out how Superman, or Clark as he was known by his human name, had lost his powers while also trying to criticize the wannabe New York City.
"Maybe there was some old magic involved, the place might have had some sort of god containment facility and it sensed your powers and suppressed them," Percy suggested.
Clark looked surprised at how easily Percy was talking about superpowers in public.
"We're in public, Percy," he mumbled.
"I know, but if Metropolis is like Manhattan, then no one gives a dam about what you are doing so we can talk about powers anywhere," Percy reassured the Smallville boy while internally patting himself at the dam joke, which was an old inside joke that may or not be explained later.
"What powers?" The unfamiliar voice of an old woman asked, both Clark and Percy looked at the source of the voice, while Percy had a face that could only be described as a deer caught in the headlights of a car.
"Uhhhh," Percy said, thinking of a good lie.
"We lost our peace powers," Clark said in a bad imitation of a hippie, teenagers who wear rainbow shirts and are always high, that everyone has only seen in 90's tv shows.
Percy glared at Clark for the terrible lie and making Percy act as hippie before nodding towards the lady looking at them suspiciously, "yeah, peace forever, " Percy embarrassingly held up a peace sign and gave a very unenthusiastic 'yo'.
The old lady just looked at them suspiciously before walking away muttering something about young and drunk idiots.
"Peace powers?" Percy questioned venomously.
"No one cares about what we say!" Clark said in a bad British accent.
Percy and Clark stared at each other for a second.
"Call it even" Percy suggested
"Even" Clark agreed and they continued walking though they steered away from Clark's power disappearance as they went to Lex Luthor's museum.
*seconds later*
"That is where I lost my powers" Clark muttered pointing towards the Mesopotamian section, the Babylon corner.
"That makes this easier, try and spot a horn" Percy put his hand in his pocket dimension, he liked to call it 'the vault' since no one except him could access it Percy pulled out a curved horn with a very pointy tip and showed it to Clark before returning it to the Vault. "It is the horn of a space bull, it was created to kill gods and with a few carvings it should be able to harm superpowered people".
"I am going to guess you have met the gods of ancient Mesopotamia," Clark asked uneasily, he was still not used to the existence of ancient gods and that his best friend had met a majority of them and that space bulls made to kill gods existed.
Percy looked like he was reliving an old memory "Yeah," Percy confirmed, "I dated Ishtar for some time, but that relationship ended when she tried to marry me after 2 weeks of dating and then trapping me in hell and afterwards trying to marry me again".
Clark checked Percy's heartbeat and sensed no lies, he checked again, in absolute denial, but Percy was not lying.
"You almost married a goddess?" Clark asked in loud disbelief and a nearby old lady did the Sush action to shut Clark up.
"Yup! I didn't want to since I was 16, maybe 17 at the time and because I was still travelling the world" Percy explained casually and moved away to analyze the display, leaving a very confused Man of Steel.
A few minutes later, Clark was looking at the carvings in the stone but his mind was still going back to the fact that his friend had almost gotten married to Ishtar, he had read the mythological stories about her and Great Scott!
She was described to be the most beautiful goddess of the pantheon, highly sexual, unmarried and for some reason, they had a very incredibly descriptive log about how she was always on top unless her lover was very good.
Yeah, Clark preferred to not think about his best friend being good enough in the sack to make a goddess of being good in the sack to ask him to marry her.
Clark relocated those questions to the list of things he would annoy out of Percy later and focused on the display. He touched the invisible barriers but nothing happened.
"Nothing!" Clark explained disappointedly.
"Were you expecting them to dance for you?" an old woman snarkily asked, the same one he had to lie to about peace powers while passing by him.
"I liked the stuff they had in there before," a security guard piped up.
"Before?" Clark questioned.
"Yeah yesterday, they came in and changed the whole display" the guard informed the Man of Steel.
Clark nodded and smiled at the security guard before going to get Percy. It seems things had gotten a bit more complex.
*a week later*
Clark was being awkward while trying to call a waitress and Percy was watching the countryside boy with mounting amusement.
"We will order now," Percy said politely and a passing waitress carrying a bunch of plates replied with an affirmative.
Clark just sunk in his chair in embarrassment and Percy laughed. "Don't worry Clark, you will get used to the city life."
Just then the waitress slipped and came tumbling down, thankfully Percy and Clark went to save the waitress from a fracture.
Clark was faster than Percy but Percy had much faster reflexes thanks to his demigod and now godly heritage and due to constant life or death battles since he was 12.
Percy caught the woman and the plates before Clark did.
"Nice catch," The woman said to the two men and took out her order pad "So what will it be?" Percy didn't notice Lois Lane but Clark did if awkwardly staring was any indicator.
"I would like the turkey meatloaf, baked potato, no butter, no soup, no salad, hass dressing, and give the whole thing in legs," Lois Lane said at light speed, "Sorry Kent, kind of in a hurry," Lois said before noticing the sick looking Clark, "say you don't look so hot!" she said in a worried tone, and then her mind told her Clark was plenty hot.
"I am good," Clark said, still discreetly ogling his first crush, while Percy was still wondering when basic white girls who ordered needlessly complicated coffees turn into white women who ordered complex food orders. "What's the rush?" he asked while sitting in a nearby booth.
Percy sat beside him while Lois sat in front of him.
"Smallville! It is awfully rude to not introduce your friend!" Lois said with a friendly smile but there was some suspicion behind it,
"Don't worry, Percy here is my best friend, we can trust him," Clark said and Lois just shrugged and dropped the fake part of her smile and analyzed Smallsvile's friend. Clark's friend looked pretty good with a nice tan and a very hot swimmer's body with dense muscles and otherworldly sea green coloured eyes.
"Well, I am Lois Lane."
"Yeah, Clark talks about you," Percy said with a way too cheerful smile and Lois smiled teasingly at Clark. "You talk about me?" there was thick amusement in her voice, she found Clark's expression absolutely hilarious.
Clark's eyes were wide and he then started babbling about reports and fame and friends he wanted to murder.
Lois just laughed "Calm down Smallville, I am just messing with you." She pulled out a cloth from her pouch and took out a rock. "Check this out," she said as she threw it into Clark's open hands who immediately dropped the rock but Percy caught it and examined it.
One of Percy's Powers was that his brain processed things much faster than mortals and while it had been a pain in the ass in the beginning, thanks to his ADHD, he had eventually gotten it under control.
Percy noticed that the rock was glowing green and had a suffocating amount of energy radiating off it. He moved it into his other hand faster than Lois could see and noticed that it fell much faster than something that small should have so it was probably super dense.
"Careful and nice catch," Lois smiled, taking the rock away from Percy.
"What is that," Percy asked curiously
"Lex Labs got hold of a meteorite that has the power to drain Superman's powers, this is just a sliver of what they have. I am heading to Star Labs to get it checked out," Lois said while dropping the rock into her purse, before noticing her co-worker's sick state and Percy handing the big guy a napkin.
"Are you sure you are okay?" Lois asked.
"I will order him some chicken soup," Percy lied, trying to get the rock away from his friend.
"K, Take care of yourself Smallville." and with that, the reporter left.
"We need to go to Star Labs," Percy said. He knew what Star Labs was, he had been binge-watching informative youtube videos ever since he came into this new multiverse and he had learned a lot, including how Superman and Tempest were secretly working for the Illuminati and Matpat's video on how that was false on theory debunking.
"No," Clark weakly protested, "robbery on the police rooftop, we need to stop it." and with that Clark ran into an alleyway and came back less than a second later as Superman.
Percy sighed and dashed into another alleyway and came back with his green and blue Tempest costume.
"It's a crossover then," Percy declared and he went to catch the falling helicopter on fire while Superman chased after the villains, two super buff blonds on steroids and jetpacks.
Percy remembered that there was going to be some honorary exchange of some historical artefacts between the feds and local government, the exchange was supposed to happen on the rooftop of the MPD.
Something was definitely wrong going on, aside from the flaming helicopter with thankfully no one inside.
There was also something weird about this entire event, this was loud and attention-drawing and most criminals were pretty scared about the entire god-like beings who could crush them in a few seconds thing, the civilians were just looking at heroes as immortal saviours thanks in large part due to the media and people just being subconsciously scared of any other possibilities and the internet painting them as perfect beings.
Anyways, sorry for going off track, ADHD and all, Percy looked around and flew to the ocean in a second and threw the helicopter into the ocean before going after Superman. Maybe he was being paranoid but he had a bad feeling about this and his feelings were always right...
Percy flew towards the general direction in which Superman and the jetpack guy had flown off.
Percy could see from his enhanced eyesight that there was some guy wrapped in what looked like reinforced paper towels on a bench next to a confused cop.
Percy also saw a bunch of official-looking guys with binoculars frantically saying something in an old-time walkie talkie.
Percy ignored all these things since he was seeing something disturbing in a tall tower near the beach: Superman was getting beaten by some blonde guy on steroids. Yeah, something was definitely wrong.
Percy immediately rushed into the building.
"What is going on here?" Percy's voice cut through the fight.
The thief froze up, he looked at the Tempest with wide eyes, this was not the plan, there was a reason he had stopped working in NYC and Metropolis.
"Explain what is going on here now" Tempest demanded as the thief stepped back in terror, "I..ha-have th-e ri-ght.. To-re-main si-iele-ent." the thief stuttered out, scared out of his mind.
Percy noticed the camera in the ceiling and immediately used his god's gifted laser eyes to destroy the recordings, he also noticed a larger version of the space rock Lois had brought in attached to the roof, and immediately connected the dots.
"Who organised this?!" Percy demanded while glaring at the blond thief with glowing dark green eyes that promised destruction.
"L-ex...Lu-th-or." the fear was clear in the thieves' voice.
"Tempest *Cough* stop, you are scaring him," Superman said weakly, finally recovering from the kryptonite attack.
Percy's eyes softened from storms of green fire that promised destruction to soft glowing green eyes that showed worry for his friend and he ignored the cowering thief that had wet himself and went to check up on his friend.
"You okay?" Percy's tone was filled with worry.
"I am fine but don't you think you were a little harsh on the dude?" Superman asked, standing up still weakened due to the kryptonite orb.
"Not really, people like him don't learn easily," Percy said. Superman opened his mouth in protest but Percy shook his head, this was not the place to discuss this.
Percy looked at the Kryptonite and immediately took the alien rock and yeeted it to the sun.
Superman narrowed his eyes at the sun (Don't do that kids) "Huh, you definitely know how to throw stuff, you basically passed the light speed barrier and the kryptonite somehow didn't dissipate due to mass acceleration."
"Hahaha" Percy laughed, not getting the joke Superman cracked.
Superman and Tempest flew away and dropped the whimpering thief into a jail cell, the police had special instructions to lock anyone brought in by superheroes into maximum security.
***scene end***
Yeah, Superman was weak to a space stone that he named kryptonite.
They had gone to Star Labs and professor Hamilton had promised to make a super-suit to block the kryptonite radiation and Percy had promised to make the suit 100 times better, after all,l he had learned to build more than just spaceships, most of the other things he made were related to his last domain.
Percy had also started to make his base of operations.
***scene begin***
"So this place is a singularity through space?" Clark asked.
"Yeah, from what I have heard, it should be accessible from this church," Percy said, Clark and him were currently in Barcelona, Spain at the entrance of La Sagrada Familia, the biggest church in the world.
They had come here because they needed a base of operation that was close to New York and while the obvious choice would have been Gotham, Clark did not like the Batman in the slightest, as he believed that the guy was too hard on his criminals while Percy simply didn't like the city of crime.
So Percy decided that it would be better to make the base of operations in the Space Singularity, it was basically an infinite amount of space with stars and galaxies as the background walls.
"And how are we supposed to get into this place?" Clark questioned looking for a sign to the space singularity.
"We fight the monster guardian of the singularity to get ownership of the magical land" Percy had a mega what smile.
"You are joking" Clark deadpanned.
"Nope! We are going to fighting an ancient guardian of an infinite space where our entire multiverse exists in a meta physical sense, why would be fighting anything except an ancient monster?" Percy smiled brightly at Clark.
"Though we can only do that during midnight so we can go ahead and explore a few places," Percy declared with a smirk.
The next few hours dissolved into laughter, exploring the Spanish nightlife, and a lot of drinks.
"That was fun!" Clark admitted still laughing.
"Well, I am the new celestial god of fun," Percy cheerfully stated.
"Now, let's get out our fun frenzy and get to work" Percy declared and the smile spilled out of his face.
"We have ourselves a monster to best," Percy said with a predatory smile.
"Its eleven-thirty"
"...Fuck"
Percy was setting up the summoning circle.
"So all we have to do is carve our symbols and we will have a door to that place thanks to the space singularity" Clark questioned, this entire thing seemed way too good to be true but then again, Percy had a knack for doing the impossible.
"Yup, though it has to be us who carves the symbols, or our significant other" Percy explained as he finally put up the last part of the symbol.
"Nice art" Clark commented while inspecting the billion-year-old symbol
"Thanks, ready to kill this monster?" Percy asked.
"Wait," Clark went into a dark corner and changed into his Superman uniform.
"Now, I am as ready as I will ever be," Superman said.
"Something is missing," Percy said as he got a thought full look on his face "you ever thought about using a weapon?".
"No!" Superman said sharply "Weapons are for warriors, I am a hero, plus I can punch harder than most weapons"
"True, but just keep this, just in case," Percy, the god of weaponry, said and a yellow glow in the shape of a gada materialized into his hand.
Superman felt more powerful than ever and he was attracted to the mace, like a fly to a light.
"This is the gada of Hanuman, it is the Indian version of the mace, it is actually the entire sun and super heavy but it is light for the 'purest heart' and you are the biggest boy scout I know" the god of weaponry handed the weapon to Superman.
Superman took the weapon and immediately felt shockwaves of power go through him and he immediately decided to only use this weapon in emergencies.
"It will turn into a bracelet or a neckpiece when not in use," Percy told him while summoning his sword, Apollyon, "now, let's get ready to fight".
Percy muttered something under his breath and the symbol glowed a bright white light before both Clark and Percy were teleported to the Space singularity
In front of them was the beast they were supposed to fight, it was a tall elf with a bloodied axe and a shield with the grim depiction of an entire army of humans being decapitated.
Percy stood at a ready stance with Apollyon.
"I assume you are here to claim the space singularity?" the monster said in a deep rumble.
"Well, we certainly didn't come here to have a tea party," Percy said, something about this elf set of warning bells in Percy's head.
"Very well" the elf got in a ready position" I am going to be more than happy to leave this prison" with that the elf attacked.
He sliced through the empty air that had Percy less than a second ago,
"What do you mean by prison?" Percy questioned as he swung his sword in a sideways arc aiming to cut the elf's hand.
The elf simply brought his shield up and depleted the Apollyon, "this is my prison, I did some stuff and I get to guard this piece of shit for all eternity as punishment, unless I am defeated though that is impossible", the elf sent a jab at Percy's side.
Block " Don't count on that:" Percy sent collective jabs to the elves side and front and the elf fell into his trap easily as that.
"You loose" Percy declared as he started attacking even faster.
"How so?" the elf asked, his question was answered when he collapsed unconscious as Superman hit his head from behind.
"We can't kill him," Superman said
"I thought I explained the immortal thing to you?"
"And what will he do after reforming? Just get back into his ways?" Superman asked
Percy gave him an odd look "I had the same question a few years ago, don't worry, he won't be getting back to his old ways anytime soon" and with that Percy stabbed the elf in the chest, instantly turning the elf into golden dust.
"Well, I am just going to trust you on that" Superman said somewhat uncomfortably.
"Yup, though do you have any idea on how to create a base?"
"...this is going to be hard"
***scene end***
Percy and Clark had eventually decided to buy a super secure house and then just keep it in the space singularity, Percy had already begun making plans for a cool base bit until he could make that a reality, he was just going to have to work with this.
Percy had also taken Clark to Heaven as a belated happy birthday
***scene beginning***
Male Percy - Perseus
Female Percy - Pacifica
Clark was looking at the glory of heaven with absolute awe
Percy let the countryside boy enjoy himself to the fullest, it was not every day someone got a round trip to heaven.
Clark was in heaven, literally. He had always wondered if gods and monsters were real and while his best friend was a 'god', he had never completely believed that until now.
"Hi, Perseus," a female British voice said, it was similar to Percy's own voice but just a lot more female.
"Hi, Pacifica" Perseus replied with a smile.
Clark looked at the source of the voice and was surprised by what he saw.
Coming towards him was a mirror duplicate of himself who looked as stunned as him and besides his mirror duplicate was a female version of his best friend who he assumed was his best-friends gender-bent counterpart, Pacifica.
Pacifica was 2 inches shorter than Percy but she had 2-inch heels making her the same height as Percy. He could spot other familiarities between the male and female Percy, they both had super black hair with bright vibrant sea green and the same tan Percy had and compared to the ordinary woman, she was much taller and hotter, much like how Percy was much taller and hotter than the average guy, but that is where the similarities ended.
Pacifica had a curvy figure with undertones of muscles and had long flowing black hair behind her in a halo and long legs that went for miles and she had red ruby lips.
All in all, Pacifica was very attractive.
If Clark could blush, he would be blushing right now.
"You are drooling" Percy informed his best friend with a grin and Clark picked his own jaw up with an embarrassed expression.
Perseus then hugged his gender-bent counterpart who he had grown somewhat close with over the 5 years they had known each other.
"How are things going, me?" Pacifica asked her male counterpart, while smirking at her own joke.
"Things are going great, me," Percy smirked back before the duo dissolved into giggles and snickers.
Both versions of Superman meanwhile just stood awkwardly to the side while sharing a sidelong glance.
"Hi," both versions of Superman said together.
"It is always confusing during the first time but it eventually gets better," both Percy's said in sync while grinning like idiots.
"I hate to interrupt this but these angels have volunteered to tour you around the silver city while we are going to have to take the Percy's away," Gabriel said before ushering the two confused gods to a more secure location leaving behind two Superman (Supermen?) with a bunch of angels.
"What is going on, you look tense?" Perseus observed.
"I have a lot of good news and some terrible news," Gabriel said as she sat down on a loveseat inside her living room.
"Good news first." Pacifica requested.
"The second multiverse's versions of you are now armed with weapons to kill the fates and will be joining you as new celestial gods soon," Gabriel informed.
"Excellent." Perseus was excited at the prospect of meeting another version of him and Pacifica.
"We also managed to get Mrs O'Leary." as Gabriel said this, two garbage truck-sized dogs with inky black fur and hellish red eyes jumped out of the shadows.
Perseus and Pacifica were both covered in saliva before they could even blink.
"Hey girl," both of them said, removing the saliva from their bodies and disposing it in the kitchen that had never been used.
"And we have confirmed that you now have the domains of space colonization, space travel, fun, weaponry, exploration and destruction," Gabriel said though she did wince at the destruction title, it represented the dynasties and ages that Perseus and Pacifica had destroyed, but it was all in the name of justice: gods had gone far too long without someone to shake their existence and had gotten far too comfortable in their seats of power, Perseus Apollyon and Pacifica Maxima, or the Wanderers as they were called together, had just been the first people to do something about the numerous problems in the world of gods. This just made it all the sadder for Gabriel to deliver the terrible news.
"Ok, what is the terrible news?" Pacifica Maxima questioned, nervous about what the angel of massages thought was terrible enough to deliver herself.
Gabriel met both of their eyes," Your mortal families were killed by Tartarus, the embodiment of Greek hell."
Their mortal family consisted of their lovely mother and stepfather and half-sister, all of them good people with relatively normal lives and they were now dead thanks solely due to their relationship with the Wanderers.
This made the Percy's angry, violent dark sea-green eyes met each other and no words needed to be exchanged to reach a verdict
They were going to get revenge and Tartarus was going to face the wrath of the new celestial gods of Destruction.
