21. Chapter 21

Chapter 21.

Hey everyone. Back with another chapter.

This chapter will begin the first story arc centred on Rebecca Potts and Lex Luthor.

Now the version of Lex in this arc is Arrowverse Lex Luthor, played by Jon Cryer. He is my absolute faviroute Lex Luthor while Smallville Lex comes in at a close second.

This arc will be divided into 3 phases each with its own plot and will be written entirely in Rebecca's POV except for the final battle in which all 3 plots will converge.

But this is going to be a short chapter, which will be building up to bigger fun later on.

Thank you to everyone who has reviewed, followed or favirouted this fic so far.

Disclaimer: I don't own any characters and elements you see in this fic. I only own Jason Stark, Rebecca Potts and any other OC's and worlds you see in this fic.

Warning: Tony Stark bashing up ahead, so if you stan him, don't read.

On with the show.

TheLycanKing: Thanks for the review. I am also looking forward to Shang Chi. I understand on Deadpool. Not sure if IZombie will appear or not.

Flashraven: Thanks for the review. I understand on Big Bang Theory. The SCP Foundation Mythos is actually a web series detailing about thousands of creatures, entities, locations, objects and phenomenon that defy the natural laws, ranging from the Scarlet King, to an orange blob like creature that can cure depression, a stairwell that descends forever and even a toaster that can only be referred to in the first person.

the mysterious Mr.E: Thanks for the review. To answer your question, John Wick would effortlessly wipe the floor with DCEU Batman.

Aragorn II Elessar: Thanks for the review. Glad my casting choices are good. Oh the WA fanatics truly are pathetic. Glad my speedster ranking was good. Glad you liked my job with Ryan. Don't blame you on Birds of Prey.

OmniUIShaggyOverexagerated: Thanks for the review. Conrad uses the Dragon Lightning to charge up his speed so he becomes nearly as fast as Smallville Bart Allen. But he is nowhere near the speed level of X-Men Quicksilver.

Rebecca's POV.

My life just went from peaceful and quiet to rushing across the planet, trying to beat a murderous organization that wants to take over the world.

I know, sounds fun.

But it's really not.

I was currently working with a guy from another universe to save well…everything.

Narcissist, evil genius.

There are a lot of ways to describe Lex Luthor.

I find deuchebag to be the most accurate term.

I had been picked up from school by my step-dad Tony Stark's bodyguard Happy Hogun.

Sometimes I don't even know why he's called Happy cause he sure as hell doesn't act like it.

After arriving at Avengers Tower, which was nearly empty because all the Avengers on missions elsewhere, I made my way up to my private lab.

When I arrived, I found my partner and evil genius buddy Lex already working on several projects of ours.

"Hey Lex" I greeted.

"Hi Rebecca. By the way, next time can you actually be at school when I come to pick you up?" Lex said sarcastically.

I just rolled my eyes.

"Lex, you do realise that if you came to pick me up, my step-dad would blow you up right?" I asked him.

Lex just gave me a deadpan look.

"I doubt that" he replied.

I gave him a confused look, before turning to the large screen that was set up in front of us.

You see, a few months ago, my not so dead step-brother Jason Stark had called upon heroes from a parallel Earth to save my world from an alien warlord named Annihlus.

This was the first alternate universe I discovered.

Then Lex Luthor came from an Earth designated as Earth-38.

There were also an infinite number of other Earths in the Multiverse as it turned out.

A being named the Phantom Stranger arrived and said that we needed to map out various worlds in case the Anti-Monitor's forces attacked worlds or if there were any heroes that would prove valuable in the Crisis.

So that was our current job at the current moment.

"Any new Earths?" I asked.

"Yeah, Earth-2011. Something about this guy named Markiplier who is about to pull off a daring heist, and was formerly dead" Lex replied.

Who the heck was Markiplier?

"What do you mean a heist?" I asked.

"No idea" Lex shrugged.

"And he was dead?" I asked.

"Yeah, some entity named the Queen-Mother appeared and killed him. He bled and died to become something more powerful than anyone else" Lex reported.

That sounded freaky as hell.

"Well then, I am having a private dinner with my step-dad, so I'll see you later" I said.

"Well have fun" Lex replied.

Lex was a lot nicer than when I first met him.

Looks like my enthusiastic personality is starting to rub off on him.

I went to get ready for my dinner.

It had been a few months since I had seen him and he had personally requested to have dinner as he wanted to surprise me with something.

I had no idea what it was, but I was very excited.

I got in white jeans with a pink shirt and made my way to the common area for dinner.

My dad was there with food laid out on the table.

"Hey Tony" I greeted.

I wasn't at the 'dad' phase yet.

"Hey Becky" he replied.

We sat at the table and began talking.

"Hey Becky, I wanted to tell you something. I talked to your mom and we got the adoption papers ready. So you wanna be a Stark kid?" Tony asked with a grin.

My jaw dropped that.

"YES! I'd love that" I squealed.

I leapt and hugged him.

This was the best day of my bloody life.

If only Jason was here.

He'd be damned thrilled.

After we settled down, Tony began telling me about what happened with Aldrich Killian and the Mandarin.

I had used my A.I to tap a conversation between him and this kid named Harley Keener and that was when I lost my shit.

Tony said quote "Dad's leave. No need to be a pussy about it"

I then showed him the footage.

"You said what to him?" I asked increduesly.

Tony must have noticed my change in demeanour, because he frowned.

"Tony! That is a horrible thing to say to a kid" I growled.

"My dad left me, Liam and my mom when I was 3 years old!" I exploded.

That comment really hit close to home.

It took me nearly 5 years to stop hating him for that.

"Yeah I know that was a horrible thing to say. I'm surprised the kid even helped me after that" Tony confessed.

My eyes softened a little but I was still pretty pissed about that.

The rest of the evening was spent in awkward conversation.

Eventually, dinner finished and I went back upstairs to my private lab, still a bit grumpy.

"Hey Lex. Any updates?" I asked him.

"Not since the last thousand times you asked me that question" Lex replied sarcastically, never taking his eyes off the screen.

I rolled my eyes at his antics.

"Hold up, someone's trying to breach our firewall" Lex said.

My eyes widened.

"What the hell are you talking about?!" I exclaimed.

I typed away furiously at the computer, trying to stop the data leak.

However, a symbol popped up on the screen.

It was of a red skull, with many arms.

I instantly paled when I saw that.

"Oh dear god no" I cursed and typed away furiously.

The leak stopped but half our data had been leaked, with a message saying "Come find me".

"Well that was unexpected" Lex said.

I nodded.

This sure as hell was.

"The person who hacked us was a Nazi organization named H.Y.D.R.A." I said.

"I've heard of it before" Lex replied.

"We need to stop find HYDRA" I said urgently.

"Why? They aren't our problem. We can simply get the data back and be done" Lex said.

"No! These guys will keep coming back over and over. We need to find out where the data leak came from and kick his ass" I said.

"Once again, I fail to see how that's my problem" Lex replied.

I glared at him and stormed off to my room.

God this guy was grating on my nerves.

I lay on my bed and listened to some of my faviroute music as that usually clamed me down.

I wanted to see Jason badly.

He always knew how to help me with problems.

I used the special chip that allowed me to Skype Jason.

"Hey Becky!" Jason greeted with his goofy smile, although his eyes held pain in them.

"Hey Jay" I replied, a bit gloomy.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

I explained to him about the HYDRA attack and how I wanted to go after him but Lex refused.

"Becky he's right you know. This is an Avengers level problem. This isn't some street gang; this is HYDRA we're talking about here. There basically modern day Nazi's" Jason warned.

He had a point.

But I wasn't about to back down from a good fight.

"What would you do Jay? Please tell me how I can do this" I practically begged.

"All right fine. If you want, you can, just promise me you wont go alone. And try to convince Lex to go with you" Jason said.

"Thanks Jay. Talk to you soon" I said and closed the connection.

He was right.

With determination, I went to go find Lex and tell him that we were going to stop HYDRA weather he liked it or not.

"Lex" I said as I entered my lab.

"Yeah?" he asked.

"We are going to track down HYDRA, and we're gonna do whatever it takes" I declared.

Lex looked at me with a deadpan look.

"Whose we?" he asked.

"You and I dummy" I replied.

"Once again, I fail to see how this is our problem" Lex replied.

God this guy was stubborn.

"Well that's fine. I'm going to do this without you" I said.

"Don't be an idiot. You won't last one hour without me" he replied.

"Well you're not going with me, so that's not an option" I replied.

Lex looked at me with a new look in his eyes but it was unrecognizable.

"Fine, I'll come with you" Lex grumbled, muttering curses under his mouth.

I hid a smirk.

"Why thank you Lex, how heroic of you" I batted my eyelashes.

Lex rolled his eyes.

"We'll leave first thing in the morning. My dad's going on a business trip to Paris tomorrow with my mom so he won't be back until next week" I said.

"Works for us" Lex said.

"Yep"

I turned and walked out of the lab.

"I'ma be an original" I muttered.

And Chapter 21 is done. I hope you all enjoyed it.

So yes, there was a bit of Tony bashing in this chapter but honestly, he needed to be called out on his crap in that comment.

People found this line to be funny but I don't find it to be a laughing matter. I know Harley is also snarky like Tony but that is a horrible thing to say to a kid or just anyone really. And the line itself doesn't make sense.

And given how Rebecca's biological dad left her, Liam and Pepper, I think Rebecca would be more pissed than most people.

Now to any Tony stans reading this; I don't want to hear any rude and offensive comments as they will be ignored. Go read your stories where Tony Stark is the ultimate saviour and anyone who doesn't worship him is the spawn of the Devil.

Now anyway, onto the other stuff.

So Tony has also officially adopted Rebecca and 'Liam', (Who is fake because the real Liam is on Earth-1 with Kate Kane).

And now HYDRA will be the main villains of this arc and I will do the final battle in Captain America: The Winter Soldier as the final battle.

And Markiplier is my faviroute YouTuber and he was what got me into the SCP Foundation Mythos in the first place. So his web series A Heist With Markiplier takes place on a separate Earth in the Multiverse.

I am not sure if Markiplier will appear in this series though.

Now if people can write fanfiction about Scarlett Johansson, then I sure as hell can write about Markiplier. Plus his web series is fiction so its fine.

Now next chapter will involve Rebecca and Lex searching for HYDRA and will introduce another Marvel character and two Marvel superhero teams into the MCU.

Until next time, review, follow, faviroute, stay tuned and tell me what you think of this chapter.
