Chapter 4: Green and Gray (2/3)

The couch was uncomfortable, there was a lot of noise outside and he had way too many thoughts in his head. He did manage to sleep for a few hours, but right now, he was simply laying on his ba Ick and staring at the ceiling while listening to some music as he waited for the lights to come back or for the daylight to become brighter.

I wanna rock!(Rock!)

I wanna rock!(Rock!)

I wanna rock!(Rock!)

I wanna rock!(Rock!)

That guy that I saw entering the subway... Before going to sleep, he saw someone stumbling his way inside the subway station that he and Gwen passed through to get there.

Turn it down you say

But all I got to say to you is time and time again I say No!

Despite being far away, Nero thought that was something familiar about the individual that he saw. But he was wondering if the familiarity was anything other than a coincidence.

No! No! No!

The white haired boy was still a little confused about everything that happened on the previous day. What started as a normal day, suddenly turned into a shitshow and Nero can't help but feel that this is becoming a strange pattern.

Tell me not to play

Well, all I got to say to when you tell me not to play I say No!

There were so many things that he still couldn't understand. Like his powers, the fire breath, the passing through walls, the teleportation. Those were things that didn't really happen again. And he couldn't understand why.

No! No! No!

The healing quickly, mind reading, and his ability to indefinitely stay awake were things that he also couldn't understand.

So, if you ask me why I like the way I play it

There's only one thing I can say to you

The healing quickly was pretty random, sometimes it works instantly, sometimes partially, sometimes it doesn't work.

I wanna rock!(Rock!)

The mind reading, he could do it with Jean constantly. But with anyone else, his head starts to hurt when he does it too much.

I wanna rock!(Rock!)

The sleeping was the oddest one, he could fall asleep normally, but it wasn't really necessary.

I wanna rock!(Rock!)

And Nero is afraid that another random power is going to show itself, mostly because he was afraid that it would cause some damage or hurt someone.

I wanna rock!(Rock!)

I wish I could get some answers for a change... He thought in deep annoyance.

There's a feelin' that

I get from nothin' else and there ain't nothin' in the world that makes me go!

Then thoughts about that green monster he saw yesterday passed through his mind. Hulk was it's name. Did they manage to kill that thing or did it just escape from New York City? He asked himself.

Go! Go! Go!

Also, how bad was the damage that he caused. Because the electricity will probably not be back for a while. Which is inconvenient for Nero since his iPod will need to be recharged soon.

Turn the power up

I've waited for so long so I could hear my favorite song so, let's go!

Also, Nero really needed to get out of there before Gwen's father comes back, because he really wants to avoid having one more thing on Mr. Stacy's list of times that he associated Nero with something bad happening.

Go! Go! Go!

Nero also wondered if Jean was okay with her grandparents, since her family situation wasn't necessarily at its best at the moment.

When it's like this I feel the music shootin' through me

There's nothin' else that I would rather d-

"Fuck..." Nero cursed as his iPod ran out of energy. Removing the earphones from his ears, the boy with white hair sat up on the couch and rubbed his gray eyes. What time is it? He asked himself as he reached for his watch, which was on top of his clothes that were on top of the chair next to the couch. Ten, already? Moving his head to look at the window, he noticed that it was actually pretty cloudy outside. Please don't fucking rain...

The pale boy then stood up from the couch and stretched himself. Feeling thirsty, he made his way to the kitchen and filled a cup with tap water. As he drank, he looked through the same window that he saw the man yesterday. What the fuck? He thought as he saw what was happening on the street. He actually saw several military cars driving down the street, he also saw several heavily armed soldiers walking around the area. Either, they are doing damage control... Or searching for the creature... Sadly, he strongly thinks that it's the latter.

Moving his head to look at the subway station, Nero saw that the soldiers were passing by it without bothering to search it. Or they already did and found nothing in there.

Putting the empty cup down, the orphan made his way to the living room to put his clothes on. His jeans, his tank top, his hoodie, his shoes, his gloves, his jewelry and his leather jacket. Once he was fully dressed, Nero Carnby made his way to Gwen Stacy's room.

"Gwen?" He knocked on the door. "Hey."

"Yeah..." She responded to him in a sleepy voice.

"I'm leaving." He informed her.

Nero stood in front of the door for a few seconds, awaiting for an answer. Until Gwen opened the door to answer him.

"Are you sure it's a good idea?" Gwen asked him, since the electricity wasn't back yet.

"Nope, but I genuinely don't think that the lights will be back any time soon and I really don't want to be around when your father comes home." He admitted to her. "And honestly, the longer I take, the harder it is going to be to get home." I will probably get scolded... If someone actually noticed... The pale boy wondered if someone noticed his absence, since things were probably messy at the orphanage due to the blackout.

"Do you think..." Gwen seemed like she wanted to ash him something. "The green monster is still around?" She asked him, clearly still recovering from yesterday's events.

"I'm pretty sure it is." He decided to be honest with her, because she really needs to stay put in case of the green monster appearing again.

"Shit..." She clearly didn't like his answer, despite being an honest one. "Shame the TV or internet is off, because we could at least get some information out of it." The blond informed him while looking slightly annoyed.

"Well, I could try to ask the soldiers down there for information." Nero suggested as he scratched his white hair.

"Soldiers?" She noted. He pointed at the window of the Kitchen, and Gwen immediately moved towards it to see. "Holy shit." The blond girl said in surprise as she saw the soldiers and military vehicles in the street. Nero approached her and stood behind her. "Are they searching for the green monster?" His friend opened the window to get a better view, but unknowingly to her, she actually bent over when she placed her head out. Which allowed Nero to actually get a view of Gwen's ass again.

"Umm... Probably." He responded as he stared at Gwen's cute butt.

The blond girl then pulled her head back inside and turned around to face Nero, who quickly moved his gaze up before she could notice that he was looking at her ass. "Look, I don't think it's a good idea for you to go out there." She immediately tried to discourage him. "And I really don't think you're gonna find any way to get home unless you walk." That was probably correct, since he highly doubts that he will find a train or bus working, especially with these militaries around.

Before Nero could reply however, he noticed something. "Oh great..." Gwen moved her head to look back realizing that it was starting to rain.

Gwen then moved her head to look at him again. "Still want to walk all the way in the rain?" She asked the boy with white hair. Who simply shaked his head in response to that. "Want some cereal?"


"And one, two... One, two , three, four."

After eating some pretty bland cereal. Nero and Gwen decided to find some ways to pass the time until the heavy rain stopped.

"Is that... Shout At The Devil?" Nero asked as he sat on top of her bed wearing only his jeans, tank top and socks.

Their way to pass the time, was basically play some songs on the Drum set that he gifted to Gwen. Currently, she is playing a Mötley Crüe song, Shout At The Devil.

"Shout, Shout, Shout." Gwen signed the song as she played the drum.

"Shout, Shout, Shout." Nero decided to sing along.

"SHOUT AT THE DEVIL!" They sang at the same time.

Gwen kept playing the song perfectly in her drum as Nero watched her. She's getting really good at it, she should be in a band or something. The white haired boy thought as he looked at Gwen's room. Her room was pretty bland, saving from a few items, but it's understandable since she hasn't lived there for long. There was a bed with a pretty cool looking blanket that had a star pattern, a wardrobe with a few clothes sticking out, a desk that had a notebook on top of it, a drawer next to the bed that had her cellphone, an alarm clock and a lamp on top of it. But the thing that stood out the most, was the drum that was located in the middle of the room.

Nero noticed that Gwen was making a few mistakes, but they could easily go away with some more practice. Suddenly, Gwen changed the song into a somewhat catchy beat that Nero never heard before. Shaking his head in conjunction with the tune. "What song is that?" He asked as he enjoyed the beat.

"None," She responded to his question. "I just came up with it."

"That's pretty awesome..." Nero complimented her as she enjoyed the song that she was playing. Until he stood up from the bed and started to dance to it.

Gwen smiled in response to him dancing to her song. "You're pretty good." She praised him.

Nero was actually doing some Street dancing in front of her drum. His moves matched the tune perfectly and the white haired boy was doing the moves flawlessly. Gwen herself seemed to have more affinity to that song then the previous one as well, since she wasn't making any mistakes this time. The boy simply allowed his body to go with the tune, and Gwen seemed to be doing the same. In a way, they were kind of feeling connected by their respective actions. The rain outside was going on at full force and some thunder started to accompany it. But Nero didn't really care, right now, only the sound of Gwen's drum mattered to him at the moment.

As he danced however, an image came into his mind. The image was of that guy running towards the subway before Nero went to sleep. Although he was considerably far away, Nero noticed that there was something very suspicious about that guy. Mostly, because his clothes were torn apart and it was kind of obvious that he was running away from something. But what exactly was he running away from was the question that Nero wanted to know.

Eventually, the song ended and so did his dance. "That was pretty awesome." Gwen told him.

"The song was cool too, did you really come up with it?" He asked her as he approached her.

"Yup, it's just a drum solo though." Gwen spoke in response.

"Well, maybe we can turn that into a full song." Nero proposed. "I would need a guitar and keyboard though." Sadly, he sacrifices the guitar in exchange for a leather jacket.

"Well, actually..." Gwen spoke with a strange expression before she stood up from the seat and moved out of the room. Leaving the pale boy confused. Until she came back a few seconds later carrying a guitar gig bag. The blond girl then placed it on top of the bed and showed it to the white haired boy. "Taa daa..."

"Holy shit..." That was his reaction as he saw the guitar that was inside. A flying V electric guitar in the color black. "Where did you get that?" Nero asked as he admired the awesome guitar.

"There is a guy that lives on the floor above, he is a failed musician and his girlfriend wants him to quit music and get a real job since she got pregnant recently." Gwen explained to him as he picked the guitar up. "To summarize, she gave up all of his instruments for free." Hearing that actually surprised him.

"That's... A real jerk move." Nero would be furious if someone gave his stuff up for free. "She could have just sold his stuff or something, because this is really high quality." And he can only assume that the other instruments were the same.

"I agree with you on that, but..." Gwen smirked.

"Free stuff is too tempting to refuse." Nero smirked as well, clearly having the same opinion as her.

"Exactly." Gwen told him.

Not wanting to waste the opportunity, he held the guitar and proceeded to play a song on it. So he played a guitar solo in front of Gwen. It was a simplistic solo that any amateur guitarist could play, he simply wanted to see how the guitar played. Once he finished the solo, he had to admit, he was a little jealous because that was an awesome guitar. "Can I borrow it some time?" He asked his blond friend.

Gwen's response was to giggle in response to what he just asked. "Nero," She folded her arms and gave him a smile. "I don't know how to play guitar." Then she highlighted the guitar and the case. "It's for you."

The boy widened his gray eyes in response to what he just heard. "Seriously?!"

Gwen bursted into laughter in response to the face that he just made. "Was that the face I made when you brought me the Drum set?" She asked him in response.

"Probably, but are you for real right now?" The boy wearing a white tank top needed confirmation.

"Yes, I am giving the electric guitar to you as a proper exchange for the drum set that you gave me, because an old leather jacket was far from being worth the price that you paid for that." Gwen clarified to her pale friend as he still seems dumbfounded by what she just did. "Okay, if I actually made that face when you gave me the drum as, I ac-" While she was making a somewhat jokeful remark in regards to his current facial expression, Gwen Stacy was surprised by what he did while she was speaking. Which was putting the guitar down and grabbing her into a tight hug. She seemed surprised for a second, until she actually returned the hug and wrapped her arms around his neck. "You're welcome."

"Hmmm..." Nero had his arms wrapped around her torso in a tight hug, since he was overjoyed by the gift. "It means a lot..." Every gift he ever gets is to be honest. But this one certainly stands out.

"So did the drum," Gwen replied to him as she also held him tightly. "So... We're even... I guess..."

"I guess..." That was the last thing he said.

But neither of them even attempt to separate from the hug. Despite three minutes passing by and neither said a word afterwards.


"Are you sure you want to go under this rain?" Gwen asked him.

Nero stayed in Gwen's home for four more hours. The lights were still not back and the rain was still going on. But eventually, Mr. Stacy called Gwen and warned her that he was coming home, so Nero decided that it was time for him to leave. Because he really didn't want to add it to the long list of strange things that happened while Nero was around.

"Yeah, the rain got weaker, the military aren't around the block anymore and it doesn't seem like the lights will be back today." Nero pointed out as he pulled his hood up. "Thank you for your concern though." He said as he zipped his leather jacket up.

"Well, you're the one that lives considerably far away from her." Gwen pointed out.

"Truth." Nero then picked up the Guitar gig bag that had his new guitar inside and strapped it on his back. "Thanks again for the guitar."

"You can thank me by finishing that song you promised." They basically spend the time playing music together with him basically composing a song that fits with a drum solo that she played.

"It's a deal." Nero smiled at her after saying that. "Well," Then he approached her and kissed her on the cheek. "See ya, Gwen."

"See ya, Nero." That was the last thing she said before she opened the door for him and closed it once he passed through it.

That was really pleasant, despite what happened yesterday and the fact that I basically have no fucking idea of how I'm going to get home. Nero Carnby thought as he put his hands inside his jacket's pockets, before he moved towards the stairs to make his way to the first floor in order to leave the building. Getting a new electric guitar as a gift certainly made this whole mess worth it. The boy with white hair was very happy right now because of his new instrument.

The apartment was pretty quiet, probably because most people decided to pass the time doing something quietly, like sleeping. I'm probably going to take a nap once I get home and then play guitar for an unspecified amount of time. He already planned as he made his way out of the building.

The rain wasn't too bad and the gig bag protected the guitar from the water since it was waterproof. The street was relatively empty, but there were some cars driving around. Probably people who didn't get to have a day off even with a blackout going on. There's something... Exceptionally bleak about atmosphere today. Nero thought as he moved away from the apartment by crossing the street. Which is kind of understandable, considering what happened yesterday. Thoughts about that green creature called Hulk came into his mind. Something that was very convenient since he came face to face with the subway that he and Gwen came from yesterday, which also happened to be the place where he saw the suspicious guy entering yesterday.

Nero Carnby stayed there for almost a minute, ignoring the cold rain falling on him. He just kept looking at the entrance of the subway with a very confusing feeling. Why do I have the urge to go there? Nero asked himself. This isn't the first time I had this kind of urge, sometimes it feels like I'm being directed towards something. That was a feeling that Nero genuinely felt, every time something strange happened. I had this urge the day I saved Jean from being hit by that car. He remembers perfectly. I also had this feeling when I kept holding on to that ring that Felicia stole. To this day, he still doesn't understand why he kept it. The day where I beat that paedophile that was obsessed with Jean's sister... Was also a moment where he felt that weird urge, when they got there and noticed the door opened.

Taking a deep breath, Nero unzipped his leather jacket and pulled out the flashlight that he and Gwen were using yesterday, which he was keeping inside the inside pocket of his jacket. Well, that urge started my friendship with Jean, led to my first kiss with a very pretty girl and helped me save Jean's family from that asshole. So he decided to continue to follow that urge, despite not knowing if it's an actual thing that keeps directing him towards these events or if it's just him imagining things.

Slowly, he entered the subway, turning on the flashlight that was on his left hand once the darkness came. Wondering if he will actually find something inside. This urge could be another superpower for all I know and I wish this powers came with a fucking instruction manual. Nero still hasn't figured out how to spit fire or teleport, much less why he gets terrible headaches if he reads someone's mind for too long, or what is the ruleset behind the healing quickly thing since it apparently only works when it feels like it. I also still have no idea about the whole, Grim Reaper being my mother thing. He definitely doesn't plan on dying to ask her.

The place looked like the scenario of a horror movie. Looking around, he kindly half expects a monster to jump out of the shadows and attack him. Considering that he saw a big green monster yesterday, it doesn't sound too far-fetched. Arriving at the middle of the station, Nero couldn't help but notice that there was a trashcan on the floor and he's pretty sure that it wasn't there yesterday. Looking at the trash on the floor, it looked like someone stomped as they passed by it without knowing. Luckily, it left a small trail because he apparently stepped on something that stained the floor. I don't even wanna know what that is because it looks disgusting. That was his opinion as he followed the trail until he arrived at the door of the woman's bathroom.

"Hmmm..." Slowly, he opened the door of the woman's bathroom to see what was inside. The bathroom was relatively clean, at least by public bathroom standards. Entering it quietly with the flashlight at hand, Nero looked around the place to see if there was anything inside. Taking small steps into the middle of the bathroom, he saw something. What the fuck? It was a pair of skinny legs coming out of a stall. That's definitely the guy from yesterday. He was sure of it. He approached the legs slowly to see who the legs belonged to.

Once he got in front of the stall, Nero saw who was there. There was an unconscious guy, sitting on the floor right beside the closed toilet with his head on top of the closed toilet seat. He was only wearing a pair of ripped apart jeans that looked like shorts now. The lack of clothing really highlighted how skinny the guy was, clearly underweight. The last thing that he noticed was that he had something in his right hand. Fuck... It was a revolver. Okay... Unfortunately, the memory of his confrontation with that paedophile came back into his mind.

Which motivated Nero to grab that revolver before he woke up. Just... A... Little... Closer. Nero slowly reached out to take the revolver off his hand. Approaching his hand, he grabbed the weapon by the barrel and was ready to pull off his hand.

But...

"Mmmm..." Suddenly, the guy made a noise and Nero noticed that he just woke up from his sleep. "Hmmm..." Lazily, he opened his eyes and noticed Nero there. "What?" He asked with a very confused face, before moving his head and saw that Nero was actually grabbing the gun that was in his hand.

...

...

...

The two simply stood there, staring at each other with a poker face.

...

...

...

"OUCH!" Until Nero basically hit his forehead with the flashlight and pulled the revolver off his hand before standing up and stepping back.

"Hands up!" Nero held the revolver in his right hand and aimed at the guy.

The Revolver was a SmithWesson Model 500, he recognized due to seeing it in a movie once. It was chrome plated, had a 4-inch barrel and a custom rear sight. Nero held the revolver and the flashlight in a FBI Technique, which is employed by grabbing a flashlight with your support hand, wrapping the palm and fingers around the body of the light with the thumb on the tailcap. The hand is then extended out from the body, high and to the left of the support shoulder, angling the light toward the target. This method can be deployed in different distances from the body, bending the elbow slightly to adjust distance or conform to interior spaces.

Once he fully pointed the light at the guy, he noticed something. Wait, I saw this guy before. Recognizing the scruffy beard, the messy brown hair and the dark blue jeans. It's the suspicious guy from the bus... Nero actually remembered that he saw him while he was on his way to meet up with Gwen, mostly because he actually read the guy's mind due to how suspicious looking he was. Wait... Taking a good look at his ripped dark blue jeans, he noticed that they were identical to the one that the green monster was wearing. Could it be... I mean, I only manage to partially look at that thing because of the dark but...

"Look, please don't shoot." The guy requested as he put his hands up. "I don't know what you think it's going on bu-"

"You're that green monster that was destroying the city yesterday, aren't you?" Nero bluntly asked the man, since there was no point in beating around the bush. "Unless you have a really good explanation to why you're hiding inside a woman's bathroom in a dark subway station wearing the exact same outfit that the monster was wearing yesterday." He decided to point out everything that led to his conclusion just in case he tries to argue or give a half baked explanation.

The guy opened his mouth to speak, but immediately closed again, clearly because he didn't have a good explanation for him. "Please, it wasn't my fault." He spoke in an apologetic tone.

"Hulk smash..." Nero then made an impression of the monster as a counter argument for what he just said.

"No, listen, It wasn't my fault literally." The guy tried to argue. "I can't control it when he comes out." He told the boy that was pointing a revolver at him.

"He?" Nero noted when he said that.

"Hulk, that's his name." The guy then slowly stood up from the floor with Nero pointing the revolver at him, but ironically, he didn't feel like that guy was hostile in any way. "Listen, can you please put the revolver down, I'm not dangerous." He requested.

Strangely, Nero believes him for some reason, so he decided to give him the benefit of the doubt. "Alright, but I'm keeping the revolver and if you try anything, I'll shoot your ass like a dog, understand?" He said as he placed the revolver inside his jacket's pocket.

"There won't be a need for that... ummmm... W-what is your name again?" The guy asked him as he put his hands forward to signal that he meant no harm.

"You first?" Because Nero assumes that his name isn't Hulk.

"My name is Bruce, Bruce Banner." He introduced himself to him.

"Nero Carnby." He introduced himself to the man in return. "Now, Mr. Banner, would kindly explain to me what exactly you mean with "can't control it when he comes out"?"

"Well... It's a little hard to explain." Bruce moved out of the stall that he was in and moved towards the sink of the bathroom. He was limping, indicating that he was injured. "The best way I can describe it is that..." He washed his face in the sink. "Hulk is a type of transformation that I go through... but he is his own entity, I mean..."

"So, basically you're saying that the green monster has a mind of his own and that he completely takes over after you transform yourself into it." Nero actually understood easily.

"Yes!" Bruce confirmed. "Exactly!" He seemed thankful that Nero understood so easily.

"Okay..." Nero approached the wall and leaned on it. "Now, please explain how this transformation works." He requested another explanation from the barely dressed man.

"Ummm... I turn into the Hulk when... when there is an increased release of the neurotransmitter known as adrenaline into his blood, which normally happens when I'm angry." Bruce explained to Nero.

"So this is a rage induced transformation, great..." He really didn't like what he just heard, because rage is one of the emotions that are the easiest one to appear. If this guy turns into that green monster every time he gets angry, I simply can't fucking imagine the mayhem that he could cause next time he tranforms. "So, in order words, you're incredibly dangerous and you're currently in the middle of a highly populated city where you can cause an absurd amount of damage to everyone around."Nero bluntly pointed out the main problem with that current situation.

"Pretty much." Strangely, Bruce apparently agreed to what Nero just said.

"Mr. Banner, why shouldn't I deliver you to the military, who are clearly searching the city for you?" Nero asked with a poker face because it's kind of obvious to him that there is more to this story.

Bruce sighed before answering. "It would take too long to actually tell you the whole story, so I'll give you a summary." He took a deep breath before continuing. "What I went through was a complete accident, but they want to put others through this on purpose to use it as a weapon." That was a simple but effective explanation that immediately drove the point across.

Nero widened his eyes in response to what he just heard. "Wait, so they want to capture you in order to get whatever turns you into that green monster, so they turn more people into them to use it as weapons?!" That was the conclusion that Nero came across after hearing his simple explanation.

"Pretty much." Bruce confirmed.

"What the fuck is wrong with this people?!" Nero asked in deep shock, because the damage that one of them caused was bad enough already but if they make a whole army or even a small group of them, it would be the equivalent of a natural disaster.

"I asked myself the exact same question several times already." Bruce spoke, clearly relieved that Nero actually understood the situation. "Listen, Nero, if I thought it would be for the best, I would have turned myself in already, but I simply can't imagine what is going to happen if they manage to create more things like the Hulk." There was a lot of sincerity in his voice, which made Nero believe every word he was saying. "So, please, I beg you, don't turn me in." He literally begged the boy in front of him.

"Okay..." Despite not knowing the guy, he actually seemed genuine and Nero can tell that his current state is the result of being on the run for a while now. "But..." There was a problem. "The military are searching the streets for you and I still don't know why they didn't search the subway." He explained to Bruce Banner.

"Yeah..." He touched his head in clear frustration. "That was something that I was already kind of expecting." Washing his face once again and then scratching his head, just by looking at him, Nero could tell that he was tired and hungry, and probably hasn't showered in a while due to the smell.

Nero Carnby sighed, because he was about to do something really stupid. "Stay here, I'll be back."


"I don't mean to sound ungrateful but..." Bruce commented to the boy. "Couldn't you get something less, noticeable?"

Nero Carnby decided to help Bruce Banner. So he left him in the bathroom for a bit while he went to grab him some clothes to replace the ones that were destroyed. So he basically broke into one of the apartments around the area and stole some of the clothes that were found there.

"Probably, but I was kind of in a hurry." Nero responded sarcastically as he ate some Twinkies that he found inside of the apartment.

The outfit that Nero got for Bruce was a cotton white long sleeved shirt with a red trim, a colorful flower design vest, matching elastic waistband pants. Which he suspects to be some type of costume because he doubts that someone would actually dress like that. "Ummm..." Bruce finished putting the outfit on.

"You look like a fucking Hippie." Nero pointed out and he's pretty sure that Bruce thinks the same. "Thankfully, I got this too." The boy wearing a leather jacket then reached to grab more items for Bruce that were on the floor. A pair of work rubber boots and a long yellow raincoat. "There's some heavy rain going on outside, so you're gonna need it." He tossed the two things for him to grab it.

"Thank you." He wasted no time in putting the boots and raincoat on. Fortunately, the raincoat covered most of the ridiculous outfit underneath, so he was definitely good for now.

"Now, follow me." The boy wearing a hood told the man wearing a raincoat while signalling him to follow him.

"Huh?" Bruce was confused but he followed him anyway.

Nero then moved towards the main area of the subway station with Bruce following behind him, mostly because he was holding the flashlight that was the only source of light in the area. The two walked for a bit until they arrived at the train tracks, where Nero pointed to the right. "If I'm not mistaken, that way will lead us to Manhattan." The boy explained to the man. "Which is where I live and where you'll have a much better chance of getting the hell out of the city before the military catches on with you." He pointed it out to him. Unless they actually blocked the city entrance, but that's not my problem.

"Ummm... Yeah, good idea." Bruce was okay with tha plan, probably because he knew that he could maybe get to New Jersey from there.

"Come on then." Nero replied before jumping down the train tracks with the flashlight on hand.

Bruce, who's foot seemed to be injured, got down slowly. Once he did, Nero signalled him to follow him as they both went to railway on the right.

"A-are you sure this is safe?" Bruce asked him as he limped beside him.

"As long as the lights are out, but considering the damage that you caused, I don't think they will be back for a while." He actually went on top of the building to see the damage and he could tell from a distance that it wasn't pretty. "Or, the damage that "Hulk" caused." He clarified since Bruce already explained to him that he can't control it.

"Oh boy..." Bruce was not happy with what Nero just told him and he definitely shouldn't because it was pretty bad.

"Listen, I don't know you, but I actually believe what you said about the military wanting to use you to create more of those green monsters as weapons, which is the only reason why I'm helping you right now." Nero bluntly informed him, because he will get in deep trouble if he's caught helping a dangerous fugitive.

"And I deeply thank you for that." Bruce was very grateful for his help.

"You can thank me by telling me everything about this mess you're in." Nero wanted to know, despite having nothing to do with that, he really wanted to know the details because that sounds like one big government conspiracy.

"Ummm... It's kind of a long story." Bruce responded as the two passed through the dark subway tunnel.

"And this is kind of a long walk, so I think we got time." Nero responded sarcastically.

"I guess you're right." Bruce saw his point. "Okay, it all started when I was attempting something that many had failed before without even knowing it."

"What?" Now Nero was curious.

"Do you know who Captain America is?" Bruce asked him a very stupid question.

"Dude, Captain America is like... An American icon." Finding someone that doesn't know who Captain America is quite difficult.

"Yeah, you're right, stupid question." Bruce realized how dumb that question was before continuing. "You know what made Captain America special?"

Nero immediately realized that he was actually talking about the fabled Super-Soldier Serum that was given to the soldier called Steve Rogers, that turned him into Captain America. "You mean the formula designed to create super-soldiers?" He asked the man, despite already knowing the answer.

"Precisely that one." Bruce confirmed.

"You know, allegedly, the only working formula was used to create Captain America." He pointed out the common knowledge. "But, I always thought that was bullshit and they actually created more of this formula but just kept it a secret to avoid some unwanted attention." That was always his main theory.

"You couldn't be more wrong." Bruce told him. "The only working formula was indeed the one that was given to Captain America, all of the other samples were destroyed and they have been trying to recreate the formula since World War II." Nero heard that explanation, a little annoyed that his theory was wrong but the whole trying to recreate it since World War II actually made sense and they probably would have done what Nero suspected if they succeeded.

"And you're saying that this transformation you go through is a result of your own personal failed attempt at recreating the Super-Soldier Serum?" That was Nero's conclusion considering what he just said.

"Basically... Yes." Bruce answered his question.

"So... What... You're some type of scientist?" Nero could already tell that he was a scholar.

"Pretty much, my area of expertise is in biochemistry, nuclear physics and gamma radiation. " The man wearing a raincoat explained his credentials to the boy wearing a leather jacket. "The latter being the major reason for how I got into this mess."

"Gamma radiation?" Nero asked as the two arrived at another station but kept on moving since it wasn't the one that they were looking for..

"Yeah," Bruce explained as they passed by the station and continued down the subway rail. "One of the key components of the original Super-Soldier Serum, was Vita Radiation, an electromagnetic radiation with a specific wavelength that has stabilizing properties." Nero listened carefully to his explanation. " A device called Vita-Ray Chamber was used to house an individual to expose them to high concentration of Vita Rays, the device was used as a catalyst after the subject was injected with the Super-soldier serum, stabilizing the process." He finished his explanation. "Sadly, the device was destroyed and the creator was killed as soon as Captain America was made."

"And you tried to replace Vita Radiation with Gamma Radiation in your attempt to recreate the formula." It all made sense to Nero now.

"Exactly." Bruce confirmed his conclusion. "And you already saw the end result."

"Shit..." Nero cursed in response because the end result was pretty terrifying. "But, what do you mean with "without even knowing it"?"

"That is the worst part, you see..." Bruce clearly changed his demeanor before speaking. "I thought I was working on a serum meant to prevent radiation poisoning."

"Wait, what the fuck?!" Nero immediately reacted negatively to what he just heard. "Are you telling me they tricked you into this shit?!"

"To put it simply." He was clearly a little bitter about that. "The man in charge of the whole thing was General Thaddeus Ross, my..." There was some difficulty in saying the next part. "Girlfriend's father..."

"Wow..." Nero thought that was really fucked up.

"He invited me to work on his government project under the guise of it being used to render soldiers resistant to radiation." Bruce then finished his explanation. "Well, now he's completely obsessed with hunting and capturing me." Which explains why the military was searching for him.

Before Nero could say anything else, he remembered what happened when he saw Bruce before this mess started. He remembered that Bruce was heading to the apartment of a woman named Elizabeth. "What is your girlfriend's name?" He asked a very obvious question.

"Elizabeth Ross, but most call her Betty." Bruce explained with a sad face.

Why was this moron visiting Betty? Nero asked himself since this is some unbelievable level of stupidity, visiting the daughter of the guy that wants to capture you just doesn't make sense to him. "Umm... Bruce... What made you turn into the Hulk yesterday?" He decided to ask in order to get some contest for the situation of yesterday.

"I was..." He seemed a little ashamed to say it. "When I turned into the Hulk for the first time, Betty was there and..."

"Let me guess, it wasn't pretty..." Nero could only imagine how bad that went.

"She ended up in a coma because of it." Bruce seemed to be guilt-ridden over it. "When she woke up... I tried to make contact with her and..."

"And you had to go check on her after she contacted you back." Once again, Nero came to a conclusion. "And it was a trap."

"Yes..." Bruce seemed really upset about it. "I don't know if... She was a part of it or..." That seemed to be the part that was eating him the most about the situation.

"I'm gonna be very honest with you," Nero decided to speak. "If she knows that her father got you into this mess by lying and manipulating you, I'm pretty sure that she wants nothing to do with him or his little hunt for you." If she does, she is a bitch and you're better off without her. "Her father probably knew that you were going to try to contact her and decided to ambush you when you did."

"Ummm... Yes, she is aware of it but..." Bruce heard him loud and clear, which clearly minimized some of his worries.

"But..." He was waiting for a counter-argument.

"But... Maybe you're right." Bruce saw his point and seemed to be hoping for that to be the case.

"Maybe... Don't let your guard down though." Nero advised him.

The two basically stopped talking after that and kept on walking. With Nero reaching inside his pocket to grab another Twinkie that he stole, when he did that, he remembered something. "Hey, where did you get this revolver anyway?" Nero decided to ask, and he assumed that it belongs to the guy that is after him since this 500 S & W Magnum is enough to kill an elephant.

"Thing is... I don't really know, it was on the ground next to me when I turned back to normal." Bruce explained, with an expression of concern, probably because he's afraid to know what exactly he did to the owner of the revolver.

After eating the Twinkie, Nero pulled the revolver out in order to check it and it turns out that it only had one shot and the other four rounds were fired. "Damn..."

"What?" Bruce asked him in confusion.

"Someone shot this four times and either they were really bad shots or, the big green guy took four shots from one of the most powerful revolvers there is like it was nothing." Nero explained while unloading the fired cartridges and leaving the last bullet on. "And I strongly believe the latter." He pointed out before putting the revolver back inside of his jacket.

Bruce simply sighed in response, probably wondering who this revolver belonged to.

"There's no use dwelling on it, now come on." Nero told him as he kept moving forward and Bruce wasted no time in following him.


"And here we are." Nero could tell that they arrived where they were supposed to go.

"You sure?" Bruce asked as the two stepped on another subway station.

"Yeah, this is the station where I took the train to get to Brooklyn." He explained while pointing at a ugly graffiti that was on the wall. "Unless someone magically teleported that ugly graffiti into a different station." Nero explained how he knows. "Come on." The boy with a guitar on his back then proceeds to climb in order to get off of the subway tracks.

Then he extended his hand to help Bruce climb on as well. "Thanks."

The two of them were now in a dark waiting area of a subway station in Manhattan. Wasting no time, Nero simply signalled him to follow him again because he couldn't wait to get out of the dark. The boy and the man slowly moved towards the exit of the subway station, passing through the ticket booth and moving towards the stairs that lead to the exit. "Hey, once we're out, you're on your own alright?" Nero explained to Bruce.

"Alright, all this was already a big help and I really don't want to get you in trouble." It was understandable since Nero already helped him more than he should.

"Do you have a plan, or maybe somewhere to go?" Nero asked out of concern since he was a wanted man.

"Well, my cousin has been helping me but I really don't want her to get into any more trouble because of me." Bruce answered his question as the two arrived at the entrance.

"You may not have a choice but to ask her for h-" Nero was telling him something but stopped once they arrived at the exit.

The entire street was filled with soldiers, armored vehicles and even helicopters around. Apparently, they took their search for Bruce there as well.

"Hey!" Suddenly, a soldier saw the two of them and approached. With Nero and Bruce immediately making worried expressions in response to that. "What were you two doing down there?" A soldier carrying an assault rifle asked the two.

Fuck my miserable life... Nero thought as he stood in front of an armed soldier, with a wanted fugitive right besides him.


Q And A:

Looking forward to the next chapter which I hope is out soon. Looking forward as well to when Nero, Gwen and Jean are all heroes.

You'll be surprised.

New reader here, so don't know if you will answers all questions, but here:
1. You talk about symbiotes, but what about the anti symbiotes, like AntiVenom and Silence? Would they appear as well?
2. Would we see the same heroes? I mean, no special female versions, like taking Captain Carter over Captain America.

Anti-Venom will appear in this story, since it will be what Eddie Brock will use after the Venom Symbiote ditches him for Nero. But don't count on Silence appearing, despite the fact that I'm actually a fan of hers.

Sadly, no female version. (There will be a time where Nero explores alternative universes and he will meet certain versions like Captain Carter though.)

You brought in the Hulk and that's cool but admittedly looking forward to when you have Nero and She Hulk sharing a scene. Nero as a full on super hero with Jean and Gwen is something else to look forward to.

Nero and Jennifer will actually get along super well. You should, it will be awersome.

Great chapter! Can't wait for the next one!

Thanks.

Okay some of those names like the one might not be the Lucifuge best but you get the idea aside from seeing a bunch of his children we hear about a few of the others to

Now thought I'd have some fun guessing some of the parts that make up Nero

Beyonder - from the Beyonder
Cosmic entity - from Death
Mutant gene - from no specific mutant the X gen was just added to him
Eternal gene - no specific donor just the Eternal "gene" itself
Deviant gene - no specific donor just the Deviant gene
Norse Gods - Odin or maybe Freyja
Greek Gods - Zeus
Kree, Skrull and Cotati - no specific donor
Demon - Mephisto
Gods of Wakanda - Bast
Brood - old papa Beyonder took the King egg and made it part of Nero
Phalanx - you know just to add bio machine dna to the absolute wonderful cluster that is Nero's DNA

Seriously having a good chuckle picturing some smart ass like Sinister of the Illuminati as a group looking at Nero's dna and never being able to understand it or work with it

Okay so even thought Nero will only go full power once I still hope his base form if you will would let him fight other Beyonders if needed or heck he could take Blue Marvel, Anti man and Sentry in a fight pretty dam handily

By the way don't feel the need to reply to this in the authors note you know to save space on the page for the actual chapter haha

What?

Mutant gene: Selene Gallio

Eternal gene: Thena

Deviant gene: Kro

Kree gene: Ronan the Accuser

Skrull gene: Empress R'klll

Cotati gene: Ru'tuh-baga

Norge gene: Definitely, not Odin.

Imagine a monster straight out of a H.P Lovecraft novel. That is what Nero's DNA seems like for them.

He's going to face something that only the Beyonders were able to defeat at his full power.

I have all the pleasure in the world in replying, as it means that people really enjoy my story.

what's up with the mc being an idiot and the forced plot to make him end up in these situations it's literally like you chose a handful of comic book characters rolled the dice and then forced a reason for him to meet them and get involved in thier lives it's like a gotta catch em all harem fic but with comic book characters I can already see how the rest of it's going to go and it just keeps happening back to back he apparently has all these powers yet they are only auxiliary when it matters can phase through a door so he can fist fight a grown man with a gun can fall from a building and heal instantly afterwards its semi slow healing can teleport to not get a girl in trouble yet only works then can breathe some uncontrollable flame by smoking a joint yet same flame can apparently harm him badly it's like you have no idea what your doing or selectively unveiling a gatcha of random powers that he can some how not train or use when needed considering for mutants after their power awakens it's usually there and emotions usually cause it to react yet his do nothing just to further some weird cringey sob backstory full of lots of random bad shit happening to him it's one thing to force him to meet the characters but it's like your just steam rolling it without any planning idk I hope it gets better looked interesting now it's just what the hell am I reading

I already explained everything that you just complained about in the A/N, so I ain't going to waste my time repeating it.

I'm just going to say, stop making assumptions of how a story will turn out, because you're probably wrong.

Please don't make him too OP too quickly - it kills the story. And please don't get him involved with too many girls - it makes them seem all bland and boring. But great beginning - looking forward to what is to come.

Nero actually has little to no control over most of his powers, which is his biggest struggle throughout the series. {He can do everything that the other heroes do, but not as good.} Which is why he has to rely on things like Martial Arts, weapons, gadgets, technology, magic and other things to fight.

The number is considerable but I know what you mean, but don't worry, Nero's relationship with all of them will be flashed out.

Well I think Nero did a good job getting him and Gwen away from the Hulk maybe going into the building where the Junkies where wasn't the best idea maybe they could have kept on running a bit more after all the fact a car was fucking lobbed into the building kinda shows they weren't much safer inside than outside haha but hey ho it worked out for them in the end haha

Also get on Nero for making the most of a bad situation by getting a look at Gwens blue panties haha

Got to also give him credit for getting in some light looting of a vending machine while getting Gwen home also liked the moment the two had quite serene considering Hulk is a few blocks away throwing a fit

As for Nero thinking of Jean I imagine she was bored until the breaking news about the Hulks rampage reached her and she grew concerned because she just knew Nero would be close to the Hulk for which she is of course right haha

Anyway liked Nero dealing with the two shitheads and I kinda laughed a little when Nero thought I should probably head back to the orphanage instead of hey I could just bunker down with Gwen in her apartment speaking of good to know she'll be moving to a nicer place when George soon makes captain

Also laughed a bit when Nero thought a rocket could take out the Hulk and that there where surviving super solider serums when we know they where actually all destroyed hence why several projects where started to try and recreate the dam stuff haha also kinda fitting that Nero spotted Banner again after his rampage like how he saw him just before it

I'm also betting on the idea that later on in the night Gwen calls Nero in and they share her bed for the night

Okay that preview with the X Men on a mission seemingly at a bar or club Nero performs at had me laughing hard because I picture when they first arrive Scott trying to be all serious and giving orders to the team only Nero has seemingly in a matter of seconds vanished and when they spot him he's kicked his feet up somewhere at a table got a drink and is smoking Weed

Also with Kitty entering his room a lot if she phases in while Nero is fucking a girl or girls can he look at Kitty and just say join in or pull up a chair to watch already haha

For the other preview waking up to the Five in One fawning over you is certainly a lovely circumstance then they got even better when Emma walked in and mounted him

Shame she showed him and glimpse of her and Scott but am I right in thinking the moment she realised he was thinking of Jean, Emma got up went Diamond form and knocked him out with a punch

Circumstances got amazing again when Emma called in her and Nero's daughters to join in and Nero starting to realise he enjoys it when the Cuckoos call him daddy also got a feeling that they won't be able to keep the fucking quick and will in fact drag on a bit

Am I also right in thinking at that time Nero and Emma are in their mid twenties while the Cuckoos like they are in the comics are biologically teens

Future previews thanks for confirming one with Felicia could be next and I also meant to make a amendment to that and ask if it could be Felicia and Gwen and for the preview after that one could there be one with Jean and her sister/clone Madelyn plus Storm then the possible one with Sue and Jennifer if you felt like it of course it's just I always find the previews to be great as a way to get snippets of Nero's future interactions like the ones suggested and possibilities like Wanda and Lorna and seeing him as a older teen then a full grown adult etc

Again sorry to hear you've been getting flak about the authors notes

Speaking of Madelyne while having a much better run in this world still hope she takes the mantle of the Goblin Queen and the outfit that it entails haha also been meaning to ask instead of her surname being Pryor will she take the name Madelyne Grey

Random thing with Gwen hope she gets or is it keeps never hope she sticks with the into the spider verse hairstyle

With Nero heading into the future and meeting a lot of his children I did laugh because of the sheer number of them and aside from the future Spidermen and Black Panther who I'm guessing is Ramonda being named after Shuri's mother I also guessed that Helios was the son he has with Sarsi anyway got me thinking about other children he could meet or hear about like

Tiberius Aka Magento II the son of Lorna and Nero
The lords of Thunder Nero's sons Thors Grandaughters Firgg, Ellisiv and Atli
Conquest son of Nero and War
Theodora daughter of Nero and Isca the Unbeaten
Basil son of Nero and Genesis
Galerius son of Nero and Rogue
Lucifuge crown prince of Hell son of Nero and Illyana etc
Wade jr leader of the Hand son of Nero and Electra

I also imagine he'd be told a few of his children are off being the heroes or ruling different worlds and realms and so on in the future but a nice detail could be via magic and tech all the children stay in touch and there's always at least one big family gathering they all try to attend every like two years

Also hope in the future Nero glimpses a statue of him that has Hero of Heroes on it

Plus maybe he hears how future Nero is on the other side of the universe or on vacation in the dark dimension

Nero just wanted to get to the other street, but it backfired for the most part.

He needed to wash his mind after seeing some pretty disgusting STD infected genitals.

That's the thing that people adore the most about Nero, his ability of always managing to make a bad situation fun.

Yup...

He didn't want to take advantage of Gwen's hospitality. Nero and Mr. Stacy will kind of have a Batman and Gordon type of dynamic.

Nero didn't know about Hulk's healing factor and he's a bit of a conspiracy theorist, but he will soon find out the truth about the Serum.

Don't count on it, as she sleeps like a rock afterwards.

That is precisely what happens, Nero goes straight to bar and makes a Grasshopper for himself {Nero only drinks cocktails} before he basically relaxes and smokes a bit of weed. {Nero smokes marijuana just like someone would smoke normal cigarettes, mostly because he prefers the taste and because his healing factor cuts the effects of it.} Yes, he does performs on the club, Nero is poor so he takes a bunch of stuff to make extra cash {Playing music on clubs, illegal fight clubs, Street racing, etc}

Kitty has a tendency to enter his room because Nero's room is filled with cool stuff. He will actually say this, when she enters the room while Rogue and Nero are fucking.

They love their Daddy...

She was simply showing what Scott did wrong and what Nero is doing right. She forgave the first time, the moment he did it again, not so much..

Sadly, they had to be quick because of what was coming...

Nero is in his early twenties while Emma was entering her mid twenties.

Sure... {I will do ao separted one for Sue and Jennifer thought, sorry, but some of them will not have threesomes together.}

It's okay...

Maybe...

I know exactly what you mean and I one hundred percent agree because she looked badass with that haircut.

Here's a small summary of who's whose children that Hope mentioned just so there is no confusion.

{Gabrielle "Gabby" Carnby/Scout : Laura Kinney/X-23

Tommy Carnby/Scarlet Wizard and Billy Carnby/Mercurial : Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch

Franklin Carnby/Powerhouse : Susan Storm/Invisible Woman

Felicity Carnby/Night Cat : Felicia Hardy/Black Cat

Rose Carnby/Widow Maker: Natalia Romanov/Black Widow

Ramonda Carnby/Black Panther: Shuri/Aja-Adanna

Benjamin "Ben" Carnby/ Scarlet Spider : Jessica Drew/Spider-Woman

Brunnhilda Carnby/Valkyrie : Brunnhilde/Valkyrie

Helios Carnby/Hyperion : Sersi/ Mesmer.

Veronica "Veron" Carnby/Lady Hulk: Jennifer Walters/She-Hulk

Stepford Cuckoos (Step-Daughters): Emma Frost/White Queen.}

The only thing that I'm going to say about that, is that if Elektra and Nero ever had a child together, he would probably name him Matthew Carnby and he would probably be the future Daredevil and the leader of the Hand.

Sorta...

Nero is kind of worshiped as a god in the future.

That would be a spoiler...

someone's got an STD fetish

Ummmm... Is that even a thing?

If yes... That is so fucking disgusting.

But to answer your comment: I'm simply highlighting Nero's repulsion for the situation.

Hah man ngl, when I started reading this it was average (as compared to ur other fics) but as the chapters went on it increased in quality and now it's goddamn fine. Also loved the preview (especially one with Emma). Hmm also what did Scott do to make Miss Frost... frosty . Hey man if u can plz add a preview of Scott getting his ass kicked (preferably by Emma Frost)

That's because I was still inexperienced when I started, the quality increased as I gained more experience.

Spoiler alert: Emma is frosty towards Scott because he kept thinking about Jean when they were together. (Jean and Scott will not happen because Jean simply spent way too much time with Nero {a confident and self-assured guy with a much more extroverted personality and more open sense of humor.} which caused her to become pretty turned off by Scott personality {aloof, doubtful, stiff loner} as a result, but Scott will pine for her in an almost obsessive fashion.)

Like Emma said in the preview, she doesn't care that Nero has another woman as long as she's the only one that he's thinking about when they are together. Scott only thought about Jean when he was with Emma.

Sure...

{

"Out of my way." Nero demanded Scott, who was standing in front of the door, blocking his passage.

Scott didn't respond to him, he simply stood there, staring at him with a hostile look that matched Nero's.

"Friends... Let's all take a deep breath..." Kurt tried to calm the situation but it was clearly not working.

Nero then took five steps back. "Bring it, that's what you wanna do right?" He challenged the other mutant.

"Summers, don't you dare!" Wanda immediately yelled and she noticed what he was about to do.

"Go on! I dare you, I double dare you!" Nero kept pushing while opening his arms widely. "Hit me with your best shot! You motherfucker!" He challenged the team leader.

Scott grinded his teeth and was about to remove his glasses in order to hit Nero with his optic beams. But the moment he did, Ororo came back into the room just in time to watch Scott launch his Optic Blast at Nero. The boy with white hair barely flinched at the powerful beam of concussive, ruby-colored force coming at him, but he did felt every inch of the impact that collided into his chest, which pushed him and caused him to pass through the wall that lead him into the next room where he passed through the furniture, before colliding into a wall with the impacted of the beam being at full display now. It only took a few seconds for the wall behind him to collapse as well and for him to be pushed outside, which was when it stopped and he fell into the soft grass outside.

Shit... He felt the damage of the beam as soon as he fell on the floor. It got stronger... Nero thought this one was way more powerful than last time he received it. Moving his head up to see, he noticed a big hole on the wall where everyone was staring at it in clear visible shock.

But, the first one that got over her shock was Wanda. AHHHHHHHHHH! ! !" Who screamed at Scott in deep rage before she, without any type of warning, word or sound, delivered a very powerful looking red colored energy blast at Scott, which sent him flying through the celling in a speed that surpassed the one that Nero was sent through the wall. Which caused Nero to chuckle despite his current situation, but he immediately stopped since his insides hurt. But he ended up laughing once again once Scott descended through the same spot that he ascended and Wanda literally caused the floor under him to open with him falling down almost immediately before she caused the rest of the celling to collapse over it.

"Holy..." Ororo immediately passed through the hole on the wall to check on Nero. "Nero?! Can you hear me?!" The dark skinned woman asked the boy with pale skin.

"Ummm... Loud and clear..." He replied with a cheeky smile as the older woman gently placed his head on her lap. She smells so nice... That was his thought as she gently caresses his head.

Kurt and Wanda came to check on him a second after that.

"Are you okay?" Wanda asked in deep concern after she knelled down and touched his face gently.

"Mmmm... It just tickled a bit..." He responded casually, but in truth, it fell like he was tackled by Juggernaut again.

"It's Scott okay?" Ororo asked the daughter of Magneto.

"I hope not!" That was her angry reply as she lifted Nero's white tank-top to inspect the area where Scott's Optic Blast hit. "Dammit..." Wanda said when she saw the area of impact and noticed a big bruise there.

"Ah, don't worry..." Nero immediately reassured her while touching her cheek. "It will heal before the end of the day." I hope... Because this damn healing factor only works when it feels like it.

Surprisingly, Wanda started to plant kisses on the bruise, soft and tender kisses that Nero was more than happy to receive. Especially, since they were in conjuction with Ororo's gentle touches on his head. "Kurt, could please check on Scott?" Storm requested to Nightcrawler

"Sure, hang in there, freúnd." Kurt spoke while affectionately touching Nero's shoulder, before he teleported himself to check on Scott.

Nero sighed in response before moving his head to look at Ororo. "I'm sorry..." He decided to apologize as Ororo stroke his white hair for breaking his promise to not start anything with Scott. "But Scott and I really know how to get on each other's nerves."

"Obviously, but at least you acknowledge." Ororo didn't disagree with what he said and was clearly planning on scolding them once they partially recover from their injuries.

}

I know you asked for Emma, but Nero will not be around when she does so... (Context: They all received orders to stay put, but Nero decided to disobey for personal reasons. The reason why he dared Scott to use his beam on him is because Nero wanted to prove that Scott isn't as level-headed as he pretends to be, and he was right.)

So Deadpool's cool and all and is funny but I was looking forward to death being with nero because you don't really see a lot of stories with her as the pairing. Also since nero will eventually get to the level of beyonder it will be cool to have someone of a similar level like death with him forever who has a connection with him from the start and it would be funny when Thanos finds out.

Bro, Death is one of Nero's mothers.

Obrigado pelo capítulo incrível Autor-San!

{Preview for Mr Guest}

{

Sadly, his comfortable sleep was disrupted by the sound of someone knocking on the door. Forcing him to open his gray eyes, catching the sight of the almost naked back of his favorite burglar, who was only wearing a pair of expensive looking black lace cheekini, which looked fantastic on her. Especially as Nero gets a perfect sight of her ass as she bends over to pick something off the floor. The something, ended up being Nero's hoodie, which she put it on to cover herself. Once the hoodie was on, she turned around and noticed that Nero was staring at her, her only response was to smile at him, before she bent over to kiss him on the lips, once they separated, she wordlessly moved out of the room to answer the door.

He had an urge to stay on the bed, but he really needed to check his phone in case of a message from Gwen. So he reluctantly sat up and searched for his pants, and saw that they were next to the door. Standing up from the bed and putting his underwear back on, Nero moved towards the door and was about to grab his phone, until.

"Come on, I just wanna talk..." He heard a guy's voice coming from the living room, probably the one that was knocking on the door. A little curious, Nero made a small opening in the door to check, and noticed that Felicia was standing in front of the door with a guy standing on the other side of the door frame. "Look, I just want to talk about our relationship that's all.."

"Then this is going to be a non-existing conversation because there is no relationship between you and I." Felicia immediately rebuffed, visibly repulsed by what the guy just said.

"You don't mean that, I know you're just confused at the moment but all we need to do is have a heartfelt conversation to solve our differences and I know we can work this out." The guy basically ignored what Felicia just said before he barged into the apartment like someone just let him in. "Oh my, I'm glad I'm finally able to see your apartment, it's about time you invited me to your place."

"And I'm gladly inviting you to get out of my place, now." Felicia's annoyance, repulsion and anger towards that guy was pretty obvious.

What the hell is going on? Nero asked himself as he watched the scene from the door. Who is this guy? The guy seemed to be a year or two older than Felicia, he had medium length brown hair, fair skin, dark eyes and was in a pretty decent physical shape. He was wearing blue jeans, brown boots and an Empire State University hoodie in the color gray.

"Look, I know I made a mistake, you did some too, but I believe we can forgive each other and just start over." The guy tried to argue with a pretty dumb smile, like he was trying to be charming or somehing.

"Yeah, trying to take advantage of a girl that was too drunk to think straight was certainly a huge mistake that would have landed your delusional ass in jail for good." Felicia spoke with a lot of bitterness in her voice. "If the girl didn't sobered up and kicked your balls in time that is."

WHAT!? Nero immediately thought as he heard that.

"Yes, but I paid for it, so the least you can do is give me a chance, don't you think?" The guy proposed to Felicia.

This motherfucker is actually asking a girl that he tried to rape to give him a chance?! Nero thought in complete disbelief.

"You got off with a slap on the wrist because I didn't press charges and you call that paying for it?" Felicia was clearly shocked with how much of a delusional moron that guy was. "Ryan, get the hell out of my apartment before I kick your head in." She threatened him and Nero is actually hoping for it.

"You don't mean that, I know I hurted you baby, but we can work this out." The guy, who's name is apparently Ryan, kept pushing his self-delusion towards Felicia. "I only did what I did, because I wanted to be with you but you kept refusing it." Nero's mouth fell open of how delugional that guy was, since he was now trying to justify his attempt of rape as him acting out his feeling for her.

"And instead of taking the hint that I was not interested, you thought raping me would make me interested?" Felicia asked sarcastically, and Nero is certain that she's basically only humoring this guy to check how absurd his delusions are.

"I was simply showing you how much I wanted you, I'm sure that things would have turned out different if you simply accepted. " Ryan tried to argue with Felicia, who was not amused at all and was visibly just waiting for an excuse to hit the guy. Something that Nero was anxious to see.

"Yeah... it would have turned out differently alright." She spoke in heavy sarcasm and Nero can tell that by "different" she probably meant that she would either kill him or castrate him afterwards.

"See, I knew you'd understand eventually." But the guy clearly didn't get that she was being sarcastic.

"Meow..." Suddenly, Nero felt something on his leg. Moving his gaze, he saw that it was one of Felicia's cats. His response was to kneel down and pat the cat in the head. "Meow." Felicia's cats love Nero for some reason.

"Meow..." Suddenly, her other cat entered the room. But by doing that, it ended up pushing the door enough for Nero to become visible.

It took less than a second for Ryan and Felicia to notice him, but Nero barely noticed as he was too busy playing with the cats.

"Who is this guy!?" The guy asked Felicia, in the fashion that a cuckold would ask his cheating wife or girlfriend, which only made the situation even more hilarious.

"My Snowball." Felicia answered him with a sarcastic smile that was directed towards Nero.

"Stop calling me that shit!" It was Nero's reaction upon hearing his unwanted nickname.

"No can do." Felicia replied with a cheeky smile. "And this is Ryan, a guy that I bumped into when I was attending Empire State University."

"That's right, look, I don't know what you think it's going on between you and Felicia, but she's simply confused due to a fight we have." He spoke as he approached Nero, who was simply staring at him with a bored expression. "So, put your clothes back on and get out since Felicia and I need to have a private talk about our relationship." The delusional idiot said while standing in front of Nero, in a futile attempt to look intimidating due to being an inch or two taller than the Gray Avenger.

Nero raised a brow and asked. "And, what exactly is your relationship with Felicia?" He was asking purely out of comedy purpose because he was curious for the answer.

"Felicia and I have been together since our first week in Empire State University. We are currently going through problems right now and are on a break, but I'm here to solve them." Just by the tone of the guy's voice, Nero could tell that he genuinely believes that he's in a relationship with Felicia and took a good look at the girl in question with a "what the fuck is wrong with this guy" look on his face.

"Short version, he's a pathetic stalker living under the delusion that we're actually in a relationship simply because I bothered to give him the time of day and didn't told him to fuck-off like every single other girl that this idiot pulled this nonsense with." She spoke to Nero, clearly having enough of this guy's presence. "And if he doesn't get the hell out of my penthouse, I'm gonna kick his head in."

"A Stalker?!" The one who said that was Ryan. "My god, you should have called the police, what if he tried something!?" Who clearly didn't get that Felicia was actually referring to him. "Come here!" Then he tried to grab Nero, apparently to try to subdue him. The moment that the idiot tried to grab Nero, the boy responded by performing a Hip Toss, throwing the guy into the floor. "AAHH!" The guy grunted once he hit the floor.

"Jesus Christ, how did you even manage to control yourself to not hit this guy?" Nero asked Felicia as he approached her after tossing the guy into the floor.

"Get away from her you creep!" The guy yelled as Nero walked towards Felicia.

"Who said I didn't hit him?" Felicia jokes.

The guy then stood up and charged at Nero in a laughable attempt to hit him, but Felicia simply moved forward , which caused the guy to stop and stand in front of her. "Baby, I know you're a pure-hearted individual but defending creeps like that isn't right."

"HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Nero bursted into laughter when he heard, pure-hearted individual. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"Okay, that was funny." Felicia laughed as well.

"Baby, loo-" Before the delusional idiot could say anything else, Felicia delivered a side kick to his stomach. "Aaaahhh..." Which caused him to bend over in pain. But then she followed with a very hard spinning hook kick into the guy's face, which made him fall into the floor right away.

I'm pretty sure that this guy would be dead if she was wearing her special boots. Nero thought in amusement due to Felicia's skills in Savate.

Nero simply stood there after Felicia kicked the guy's face. But then he made a confused face when she moved towards her room without saying a word, leaving Nero alone with Ryan, who was still feeling the damage of the hard kicks that he took. Until Felicia came back carrying some cord that Nero recognized that it's from her Grappling hook. Which she used to actually tie Ryan up in a Hogtie fashion as Nero watched. "Perfect!" She said while smiling before she stuffed a pantyhose inside his mouth.

"MMMMM!" Ryan tried to yell but the pantyhose muffled the sound.

"What are you doing?" Nero asked her with his arms folded.

Felicia then gave Nero a very naughty looking face, before she slowly walked towards the wooden table that was in the middle of the penthouse in a very seductive manner as Nero and Ryan looked at her. Once she reached the table, Felicia slowly pulled down the panties that she was wearing and dropped them on the floor, before she sat on top of the table with her legs open, giving the two a perfect sight of her clean shaven pussy. It only took a second for Nero to understand what she was doing, and he smirked. He walked towards the hogtied stalker and patted his head in a mockery fashion, before he moved towards the gorgeous thief.

"I didn't know you were into this." Nero spoke as he licked his lips in anticipation.

"I'm not, but he really managed to piss me off." Felicia replied while also licking her lips in anticipation.

With that Nero Carnby pulled his hoodie off Felicia Hardy , revealing a body that puts most supermodels to shame, who crawled back until the middle of the table and laid there completely naked, waiting for him. Something that didn't take long to happen as Nero wasted no time in removing his underwear and climbing on top of the table to get on top of Felicia. He spared a look to the delusional stalker, who was simply there, watching with tears in his eyes. Stangely, that only made him want to ravish Felicia in front of him even more.

The rest would be a spoiler but I hope you enjoyed it. I know you asked for one with Gwen in, but that's just not going to happen because Gwen and Felicia will kind of have an antagonizing relationship. {But as you requested, the next one will be Jean and Madelyne.}

{Also, minor information: In canon Ryan is Felicia's ex-boyfriend who raped her and pretty much catapulted her tranformation into Black Cat. Here on the other hand, he's just a stalker living under the delusion that he and Felicia are a couple. The change is mostly because she was already groomed to become Black Cat by her father and was already a master in Savate (French kickboxing) when this idiot tried to have his way with her.}
