A faint streak of multicoloured light raced down from the sky, impacting in the middle of a foggy central park, faint indentations forming on the ground as Joe was launched from Asgard. Wanda had gone to Black Island, and Kara had returned to the Watchtower back in her home universe.
Raven had decided to practice magic with Loki for a while and Tim was already at Sanctuary, the small city he had bought to house mutants and spread Black ink into this universe.
The business plans were going well, the most used product at the moment was a potion that cured the common cold, potions were always easy to hide, just put it in a bottle labeled herbal remedy and state that it relieves the symptoms.
Poison Ivy had been a great help with that, she had provided them with a series of special plants to invent new potions.
All the potions had some of the Atlantean special sauce in them to make them taste nice, well, except for the professor's, his still tasted like a men's urinal for some reason.
Harry still did not like the Bifrost, it reminded him far too much of port-keys for his liking.
Either way as the clearly magical mist slowly dissipated around him, harry surveyed the skyline. It was very… different from the New york of both his home universe or Kara's.
The skyline seemed far more developed, though he supposed that if the buildings were demolished every other month the would allow for it to be redeveloped.
They also had commissioned several robots from Reed Richards to let them build more quickly.
He continued ambling through the streets, heading towards the Baxter building. The Fantastic Four had rented out the top six floors of the place for their own use.
He was, however, oblivious to the watchful eye of a doombot. One that was sending a signal to Latveria. Doom himself turned to the screen when he spotted the cloaked man from the corner of his eye. His face was blurred even through the optics of the doombot, he wore black jeans, with a black shirt and a trench coat that almost reached the ground.
'Doom knows of this one, many of Doom's tomes have mentioned of him, for he is Death, Destroyer of worlds.' he pondered.
Joe eventually arrived at the Baxter building, well just outside it at least, before tapping the intercom for the top six floors.
"Hello, this is Mr. Black, here to visit the fantastic four… Hello?"
A female voice sounded from the machine, "This is Susan Storm, Why do you want to come here."
"I read about you in the S.H.E.I.L.D. database and wanted to meet you, is that a problem?" He asked
"Err, wait a minute, let me get back to you" after a little while, with loud noises occasionally emitting from the intercom, the woman returned she answered, "Yes, the other allow you in."
Wandering though the doors, he quickly located the only elevator that went to the top six floors of the baxter building and stepped out, before making his way towards the entrance to the area rented by the fantastic four.
As soon a Joe entered he was shocked by the sight, the room was burning and much of the furniture was crushed, two people, one made of fire and the other rock, were fighting. Susan soon showed up and after restraining them in force fields, started berating them.
Joe started laughing, and spooking the other three in the room, "Bwahahaha! thats brilliant, I haven't laughed like that for three thousand years, this is fantastic!" he bellowed, wiping a tear from his eye, "Here. Let me help you with this." The immortal offered.
"It's fi-" Susan started as he dismissively waved hi hand and the room began to repair itself, quite rapidly.
"Its fine." he grinned, "So, I read a bit about your powers on the S.H.E.I.L.D. database, but I couldn't find out much about them, really the only information was that you could turn invisible and project force-fields, Mr. Storm there can turn to fire and manipulate that classical element to some degree, Mr. Grimm is now has rock-like skin and very impressive strength, while Dr. Richards can stretch and manipulate his body shape."
Reed who had shown up a minute ago, responded, "Ah, yes. Well, we got our powers about a year and a half ago, when we went to space, we were bombarded with some form of cosmic radiation and gained the powers, however we don't really know how it happened. However, we could offer you some samples if you can at least try to cure Ben's condition."
"And what condition would that be?" He asked.
"Ben cannot resume his normal form, since he was the one bombarded with the most radiation, an his strength occasionally fluctuates, we have not been able to solve it." Sue answered.
Hmm, Give me a minute.
pulling out his Zippo, he contacted the Doctor about the situation.
"I would need some DNA sample and if possible a sample of DNA before the incident. but the Doctor is relatively sure that she can solve this issue." He explained to the now quartet."
after sending a copy of the DNA, a picture, as well as a sample of the rock that Ben's skin is made of, to the doctor he turned in for the day, rather, he accelerated time with his watch around himself so that he spent 10 hours sleeping while only a second passed for the rest of the did not take long for Harry to get the results from the Doctor, the inch thick pads of medical reports and a seal containing a large list of books, Hermione had already been sent book scouting and their collection was growing. Fast.
He wandered around for a while, sending off a few of the Professors newest inventions a series of scouting drones that would copy libraries to add them to his own.
The drones would also scan technologies lying around, he was planning to hire someone to install high level technology in Black Island, they had already bought a 'Dead' reality, a reality that never developed life, and began using it to expand. After all the Island would not last them forever.
He was contemplating who to hire, the Stark Fellow seemed a nice enough bloke… BAM! a flying metal beam flew at him, pushing him back an inch. A rocky skull peeked around the end of the beam before embarrassedly apologising, " Sorry about that didn't you there. Johnny was paying presently and thought that was coming back or to do something."
"Actually I came to give you some good news. I got the results back from the Doctor and she said that she knew what was possible to solve your problem!" he responded.
They immediately perked up, dropping the large beam he rushed off to find the others to tell them all the good news.
And so he found himself sitting with Reed Susan Johnny and Ben around a rather wide conference table, looking through the sheets that the doctor had given him.
The prognosis is relatively simple apparently the cosmic radiation had turned them into something that his dimension called elementals these beings are capable of manipulating the classical elements such as fire, air, water and earth.
Apparently since Ben was hit with the most radiation he gained the most raw power and his abilities were slightly out of control. The doctor had sealed the number of books that would help them understand their powers better.
Johnny seems to have gained the most control over his powers like to need you to do his curiosity when it came to understanding his powers.
Surprisingly it is not Ben who had the least control over his powers but rather Reed Richards. He limited himself to only utilising ability to change his shape.
Ben had already learned how to removing his rock like exoskeleton and return to his human countenance.
After quick change of clothes Ben thanked the immortal before he Sue and Johnny rushed to answer the intercom surprisingly ushering in a blond-haired kryptonian.
Kara had dropped even with Wanda and wanted to explore the city for a while. The three of them decided to leave off for a while.
He and Kara try to hire me to retrofit the island, However he insisted that he would be too busy.
It wasn't long before Kara and Wanda dragged Joe bodily out of the Baxter building. The first course of action was to visit some shopping districts around the city.
It was several hours and scandalous outfits later that trio decided to rest a while.
Good restful relaxation was however interrupted by an oddly dressed teenager.
The red and blue spandex clad team was chasing and even more when he dressed man who was flying around on a purple hover board of sorts in green armour cackling maniacally.
The strangely named Green goblin since he did not look like a goblin asshole was throwing around small orange spheres that exploded on impact releasing an odd green gas.
Grumbling himself he excused himself from the impromptu date to hopefully deal with the situation in a more civilised manner.
