"So who do you want to know about first, there are too many super heroes and villains around?" Eldon said as he sat and looked at Gaara with curiosity

Gaara took a seat and got down to business without any hesitation, "First tell me about Superman"

"Hmm, Superman is the most iconic hero of the world. He is well known and an alien from a different planet. He is very strong that most beings can't compare, if he wanted the world destroyed it wouldn't last a second. But just like most of these heroes he is naïve little brat who thinks killing criminals makes you like them so he lets them walk away." Eldon spoke with contempt, no sign of any respect for the symbol of hope

'Does he have a grudge?'

"Why would he do that? Letting people who have already committed too many crimes is an insane choice. It is a waste of resources and asking for retribution in the future, there is no absolute prison." Gaara said as he wanted a better understanding of the man's character

"Haha, right. I am happy that we have similar view but these heroes believe killing is what villains do so they can't do it and it is not within their rights."

"Haha, that is very funny when I first came across it but even till now. So you can say they don't care for their pathetic lives and save people for nothing in return. Which is what they had like to believe in an idealistic world but reality is a cruel mistress as most of them end in tragedy and villains continue their path of havoc. I advise you to keep away from them, the disease might be contagious." Eldon said laughingly

'Is this true or just fake information? How can people like that exist? Even children could make better choices but it can be easier for me to manipulate them. If they are so nice why not ask them to save my world but who can get us there?'

"Thanks for the advice; I will take it into consideration. Anything about the Nth metal?"

"That's tricky; I only know that Hawkman and Hawkgirl have their things made from it. So you would have to find them to know learn more about it. Anything else?" Eldon actually liked the conversation, the boy in front of him was not like the heroes so a good point and he was powerful.

'We are very much alike.'

"Is there anyone who can make portals to different dimensions?" He asked in a calm tone hiding his level of investment in the subject

"I know some people but they are not what you are looking for as they send people to specific locations. But I might look into it for you, how about that?" Eldon said with a friendly smile which did not look anything but terrifying

"Thanks, what can I do for you in return?" Gaara asked as he didn't like owing anyone especially people he didn't trust

"How about some tea and biscuits first before we continue our talk?"

"No thank you, I don't trust you enough." He was very blunt with his response

"Hehe, how sad, But it's the right response as I would be disappointed if you were so naïve." Eldon said in a friendly tone which hid dark secrets behind

"For now let's just talk for awhile and I will find something for you later."

"Acceptable but I would like to inform you that I do not wish to be a part of unethical practices and will kill you if I believe you to be a worthless existence." Gaara said as he released his bloodlust

Eldon was surprised by the feeling, he felt genuine fear within and felt a smudge of excitement.

'The kid has killed, many times more than I would have expected. We are so alike, this going to be fun.'

"No problem, I will make sure we do things that don't cause such conflict."

"Then I look forward to what you will ask, it will help me make the final judgment."


Time passed by quickly and hours gone by, Gaara walked the streets of the city while thinking of the things he had learnt.

'I need to find someone who can make portals and take others with me but this can cause trouble what if they betray me and make it worse. I need someone who is capable and trustworthy or I need to be strong enough to do this myself. How much time do I actually have? '

'Should I ask Zatanna?' Gaara was lost in thought when he collided with a woman who was accompanying some man. Gaara reacted quickly so that she didn't fall and the woman ended up in his arms.

He looked to see it was Mary, 'She can't tell'. Gaara assured himself but Mary pushed herself up and kissed him, "You are a naughty boy Temari, running away and transforming into a different form."

Mary said sensually as her hand touched his face, which shocked him, "How?"

"You give off the same feeling when I touched you so it was a coincidence we met. A good one as I couldn't forget about you." Mary whispered into his ears

'That's problematic, how do solve this problem? Need to discuss with Zatanna but for now what to do with her.' Gaara mused as he looked at the hyper sexual woman attached to him, 'She is using her body and magic to cause me to feel such reactions, what does she require? If it was at home, I would think for money but here I am insignificant.'

"You don't need to be so confused, I just like you and that's it. You don't need a reason to like someone, just let the heart do its job. How about a date so you can learn more about me?" Mary said in a lovely voice

"What about that man?" Gaara said in a dull tone, he felt really tired from being courted for the first time.

'I preferred it when people feared me and kept a respectable distance, now strangers get stuck to me.' Gaara thought as he removed her from him and she didn't put up resistance to avoid causing a scene

"He is just my wallet for the day; you gotta take advantage of your powers some way. Is it wrong?" Mary looked at him innocently

"No, I find to problematic with that." Gaara said as he really didn't care about such trivial things

"So now we can go and can you tell me your real name now?"
