Pretty short chapter. By the way, I hate promoting my other fics, but this is apart of this universe I'm creating for this fic. It is meant to bridge the gap between the Marvel universe and DC universe so it isn t just a cluttered mess. It's called Coexistence if you wanna check it out.

"Those three there, those are the stars Deneb, Altair and Vega. Those three make up 'The Summer Triangle.' Oddly enough, you are able to see then only in the Summer. Well, that's unless you're freaking S.H.I.E.L.D., NASA, or some other high tech company I didn't really bother to look into."

"Subaru… I know I said I wanted to learn about the Universe since my Forbidden Book forbids me to peer beyond the vale of space, but do I really need to listen to this boring lecture on Constellations?"

Subaru almost fell on his face from where he stood. Glaring at Ekidona, he gave her the best 'You better not have said that' look. Ekidona just gave him a triumphant grin as she laid back on her chair.

Honestly, it had been way too peaceful recently. With the diplomatic peace discussions between 'The Floating Continent' and the rest of the world put on hold, it gave the Emilia Camp time to just relax. There had been no disturbances from any of this world's villains nor the Witch Cult. None that they had heard if anyway.

Truly, it was peaceful. Way too peaceful. Sort of like a bad omen type of peaceful.

It didn't matter much anyways. It gave a chance for Subaru to properly show his friends the world, so why was there any real need to worry. Besides, he couldn't really die, so it was all good. Well, physically at least.

"If you really want to learn about the Universe without any internet, then you better pay attention to my 'boring lectures' on Constellations!" Subaru said with fitting air quotes.

"Oh? You're being very assertive over this topic. Very much unlike you indeed."

"I could say the same about you! This is the first time I heard you learn new things and call it 'boring' while listening!" Subaru yelled as he pointed to her.

"While I do admit I enjoy all form of knowledge, the way I attain said knowledge may be repetitive."

"Are you telling me that I'm repetitive and boring to listen to!?"

"I never said that, you just called yourself that." Ekidona smiled as Subaru seemed to visibly deflate.

"Come on~! And This is that only topic I'm always 100% confident in!" Subaru deflated as he sat back in his chair. Ekidona gave a chuckle before looking up into the night sky. From here, out in the countryside, it was easier to spot the glitter of the stars in the night sky. Unlike the city, which was polluted in more than one way, it seemed mountains and vast plains without any electronic light seemed to be darker in surrounding areas.

Currently, they were on vacation somewhere in the mountains of Japan. From what Ekidona had experienced in this artificial body (that she shared with a few more Witch's), it was a lovely country. Surprisingly, Japan's Meiji Period was very reminiscent of Kararagi, a Country besides Lugnica. Or was that the other way around?

Which ever it was, this was worth looking into.

"Ah! What's going on here?" A voice suddenly dropped in. Looking behind them, they bore witness to a very enchanting sight. Standing at the doorway of the cabin, was a Silver haired beauty. In a white and lime night dress, her hair braided to the side, she looked like what could be described as a goddess. Any boy would have fallen for her at first glance.

Fortunately, Ekidona wasn't male nor did she quite enjoy the company of this… unflattering female dog.

Also unfortunately, Subaru was infatuated with the girl.

Emilia was her name. Just Emilia. It is theorized that due to her, Subaru was able to come to this parallel world to get treatment for his wounds. Coincidently, those two weren't the only ones dragged to this world.

"Oh! Emilia-Tan!" Subaru said as he got up to go to the girl. "I see Puck chose another good outfit for you again! I see! I see! It fits you perfectly!"

"Thank you, but will you ever wear anything other than your track suit? It must be worn out by now?" Emilia said as she looked over the suit. Surprisingly, the outfit was in perfect condition. During the time here, Emilia had slowly accepted the feelings that had blossomed from Subaru, and started become more comfortable with his antics and chatting with him.

Ekidona thought it was disgusting. Relying on someone else just to make yourself feel good.

"How dare you disrespect my best friend!? This thing has been with me through thick and thin, and is much more reliable than Otto!" Subaru yelled that last part.

"Subaru, you don't mean that!" The voice of Otto whined from inside the cabin.

"Of course I do! Until you start Manning up, you'll be nothing but a nuisance to us!"

"You're too cruel Subaru!" Otto cried as they heard a distinct thump. Most likely Otto slamming his head on the table indoors. "Even after I went to meeting after meeting with the United Nations on the pretext of acquiring licenses to sell goods from Lugnica, this is how I'm treated!?"

"Uh, isn't that more of a personal benefit?" Subaru asked as he scratched his chin. He gave a sly grin. "But don't worry! We brought you on this vacation for a reason!"

"Really?" Otto yelled back. Subaru could almost hear Otto's spirits lift up.

"Yeah, we wouldn't know what to do without a jester around, right?" Another thump. Subaru smiled, having enough of the Otto abuse.

"Anyways, how are you doing Emilia-Tan? Is Puck awake? I have some questions for him." Subaru said as he leaned back. Thinking back to their previous topic, maybe it was time for a new wardrobe change.

"I'm doing fine. I have been practicing with my Ice magic, and while it isn't as strong as Puck's yet, I'm getting there." Ah, yes. Ever since they got to this world, for one reason or another, Emilia had been able to use her magic again. It wasn't like she couldn't before though, it's just that she didn't know how too. It was hard to explain. "Puck is asleep right now. He's been loafing around lately, it's honestly worrying."

"Who says loafing anymore?" Subaru teased, to which Emilia responded in kind with a 'Hmph'

"Lady Emilia." Another voice broke their conversation. Standing at the door way was none other than the Red haired demon herself. Ram. Lifting her skirt a little, she gave a bow to Emilia. "The Dinner that has been long awaited and cooked by my sister and I has just come to fruition. We have dished you and… the ball sack up."

"Fruition? What's with everyone using these out of date words today." Subaru said, before pointing at Rem. "And who are you callin' a Ball sack you mushroom head!"

"Obviously the 5 year old throwing a tantrum over a petty insult." Wait, did she insult both of themselves just now?

"Ugh. I'm to lazy to argue against this." Subaru said as he followed Emilia, who was heading into the cabin. Ekidona followed suite, a frown on her lips. "Ah, wait. Where is Garfiel? Is he still out hunting?"

"That loud mouth couldn't hunt for the life of him. He makes too much noise just breathing to be any good at hunting." Ram said as she gave a shrug. "Although I do believe it's a good idea to draw in the hound dog."

Ram seemed to sigh, a depressed atmosphere around her, before cupping her hands around her mouth.

"Kyaaaaa! Stop it Subaru! Not- Ah! No! Anywhere but there! Uwaaaa!" Ram moaned/yelled out. She closed her eyes, a small blush on her cheeks, and gave a soft cough, returning her hands behind her back.

A moment of silence passed between the group. Everyone had a different reaction- Emilia a heavy blush, Subaru a look of disbelief, Ekidona a sly smirk, Otto still in depression, and Rem a small smile at how lovely her sisters voice was. All were thinking the same though.

"What was that!?" Subaru yelled. Ram smirked.

"I would run if I were you." Ram said. No sooner did she say that a loud thump was heard. Nervously, Subaru looked behind him, almost crapping his pants by what he saw. Near the telescope that Ekidona and Subaru had just used, in front of the giant lake, was a 5'9 demon. Golden fur covered his pointed ears, chest, sharpened claws, and hind legs. A feral grin displayed by what could only be described as a predator looking at his pray.

"I'm going to kill you Ram." Was probably not the smartest thing Subaru could have said there. For with a sudden gust of speed, both Subaru and Garfiel were off, one running in fear, the other in spite. It was truly a peaceful atmosphere, even with the death threat of Garfiel.

Ekidona smiled, cherishing the sight. Maybe the gut feeling of despair was just her being overly cautious.

Maybe.

A sudden shift in temperature woke him from his dream. Sitting up, a mound of drool covering his right cheek and desk, Subaru gave a lazy look around. The sun was setting, making the classroom a reddish orange that reminded him of a certain fruit. Slowly, the gears in his brain started to move once again, realization at where he was, and what had happened.

The class had left him, again. No one bothered to wake him, no one had even bothered to leave a note. He was truly, and utterly alone.

Biting his lip, he couldn't help but let a stray tear stray down his cheek.

Have you ever felt loss? That cold, unrelenting feeling of disbelief and rejection of reality before realization that the cold hard truth was forced down your throat? That you'll know that you'll never see that friend or loved one again? That you'll be forced to live on without them?

That's what Sayoko felt right now.

It was a simple job. Get in, rob some poor saps of some thing called 'The Catalyst' and get out. Didn't seem that difficult, and shouldn't have been that difficult. Get in, get out.

You know what happened though?

Some maniac with an absurd amount of strength beat her face in and killed her best friend.

Like an explosion, it happened fast. So fast was it, thinking back it seemed like it was only seconds. The boy had appeared out of nowhere, beating her friend, and when she tried to stop him?

Her face was beaten in.

It still hurt to do any motion with her face. When the ambulance had arrived, they had to rush her to the ER and from what she was told upon waking, she had received extensive damage to her nervous system.

How that came out of a face injury was a mystery to the doctors, but the doctors had theorized that the boy had punched her so hard that the cervical nerves had been damaged with the confrontation with the boy. If that was the case, that would explain why it hurt so much why her whole body was in pain. Her wrist, chest, neck and head were difficult to move, and even doing so hurt her too much to do anything.

"God Damnit." Sayoko cursed. She cursed the boy, who took her best friend and ruined her body. She cursed the world for the unfair circumstances that she had been put in all her life. She cursed her parents, for abandoning her at a young age, leaving her to fend for herself. Of course, most of all, she cursed her employer. The one who Undoubtfully set this whole scenario up. Who knew what was waiting in that house. "I'm going to kill that damn clown! I'm going to kill that kid! I'm going to kill everyone he loves! I'm going to pull his guts from his mouth and shove them up his ass! I'll make a pact with the devil himself if I have too!"

And with that, the room filled with a dark flame. Festering with hate, it consumed Sayoko's form and her surroundings with no discrimination. With a scream of pure hate, the flames died, leaving only a curtain and a blood stained mattress.

The walk home today was especially difficult for Subaru. Ever since Echidna disappeared that night she had asked that question, he had been alone. While his family showered him with love and praise for what he did, the entirety of the school had left him alone. What he did to Echidna had left its mark at his school, and while he had suffered no immediate repercussions, the way the students treated him was like flipping a card in a board game.

Where before he had at least those two or three guys who chatted with him occasionally on break, now he was ignored even when he tried to grab their attention. Before there would always be that one classmate who woke him when the bell rang for classes to be dismissed, now he was left sleeping, no one to tell him. Even the teacher who always woke him ignored him, having been told by the students of what had happened.

Even Shiina, the one person who he could truly call a friend, had left him.

It left a bitter taste in his mouth. Subaru didn't hate them, but it did depress him. Ever since Echidna disappeared, it's been hard. Everyday, it felt like it was getting harder and harder to get up, when before he was able to get up and go for his daily jog. Not to mention the stupid slope that he had to deal with everyday on the way home.

With a repressed sigh, he opened the door to his house, ready for the earful from his family that was surely waiting for him. Subaru, in all honesty, didn't mind it that much. Actually, he enjoyed it. It was like none of the bull crap of what happened last week had happened.

Instead, he only received silence. Suspiciously, he gave a once over to the living room. To the naked eye, it would appear that nothing had happened, but Subaru could tell everything wasn't as it seemed. The oven in the kitchen was on, with a pot of boiling water sat bubbling without a care in the world. A knife next to some chopped onions drew his attention, as blood was staining the steel of the utensils.

Walking over to the oven, he turned it off. It wouldn't do if something went wrong while it was unattended too.

A loud thump from above drew his attenion. Being a two story house, that wasn't anything to worry yourself over, but seeing as no one besides himself was currently here, it drew some concern out of him. Especially with the recent event that went down, it sent some nerves into a worried frenzy.

Looking towards the bloodied blade, his worries only intensified. Grabbing it, he slowly sneaked his way up the stairs. The hallway at the top of the stairs was as empty as ever, save for the pictures of him and his family lining the wall and the shelf at the end of the hall. A vase of flowers sat on it, a window that shined sun through giving life to the plant.

With the stealth of an average NEET, he listened through the walls. Another thump sounded to his left. Towards his room.

Looking at the door with suspicion, he couldn't help the sweat the poured down his face. It was an unspoken rule in the house that his room was off limits to his parents, as was their room to him. It was his private space where he could do as he pleased, and their room was the same (he didn't want to think of what they did alone).

So why was it that their was noise coming from his room?

Glancing at the bloodied blade, he started to worry. Did someone break in again and attack his family? There wasn't blood anywhere else, so maybe his mom had ran away? Or were they in his room right now?

Swallowing some spare saliva, he grabbed the door knob, his teeth chattering. Images of that man's body crumbling to the floor appeared in his mind. Guilt gripped his heart before he squashed the feeling. Now wasn't the time to think of that.

Steeling himself, he twisted the knob aggressively. Opening the door, he brought up the knife in preparation of the fight that was ahead of him.

"Ah?"

"Whaa-" Subaru stopped, his eyes as wide as saucers. Surprise shown on his face, before recognition of the familiar face that was before him. This was soon followed by flushed cheeks at the sight before him.

Bent over, her back to him, was the familiar face of Echidna. The pale skin of her neck down to her thighs in full view for him to see. A dark material was at her feet, that she seemed to be lifting to cover her exposed body. She had her face turned to him curiously, a questioning look on her face.

Without waiting for a response, he slammed the door closed. Panting heavily, his face flushed, he leaned on the door of the hallway.

"Ah! Subaru! Wait!" He heard Echidna said as he heard her footsteps behind the door. Knowing what she was going to do, he pushed off the door and grabbed the knob, pulling on it.

"Stop! Don't you dare open that door Echidna!" Subaru yelled in worry. He felt a tug on the door, confirming what he felt she was going to do.

"Subaru! Open the door! We need to talk!" Echidna said, pulling on the door, the clothing abandoned, allowing her to feel the cold flooring.

"Hell no! You're butt naked!" Subaru yelled, trying to remove the images from his mind. In a normal situation, he would have been trying to savor them, but he had a feeling that would lead to something that he would need to take responsibility for.

"Oh, when does a little nudity hurt anyone?"

"Almost all the time! A lot of celebrity careers end with leaked images!"

"That may be true, but we aren't celebrities! We're two individuals, one a lusting teen and another a Witch of Greed, alone in a house!"

"I'm starting to think our roles are reversed! And I'm not lusting after anything!"

"Why not? Is a beautiful body like mine not good enough for you?"

"No! I mean, yes! Crap! Stop leading thus into what it isn't!"

"My, I am just following the compulsions of your body! Maybe we might have some fun if you just open the door!"

"No! I don't want this! And get dressed!" Subaru yelled as he pulled on the door harder. His face was red with embarrassment as the images in his mind played over and over like an old record player. Echidna's silky smooth skin, as her back faced him with her re- 'Stoooooooop!'

"Subaru! Open the door!" Echidna said as he felt the tug become more ferocious. Then suddenly it calmed down. After awhile, Subaru relaxed his grip, but stayed vigilant as he was unsure of what would happen next. "There, I'm finished Subaru."

"Are you being serious, or are you just joking around?" Subaru asked suspiciously. In the short time that he knew Echidna, she had shown herself to have a mischievous side to her. While mostly it was just playing with words, he was unsure if this applied to real life scenarios.

"I wouldn't joke with something like this Subaru." Echidna reassured.

Subaru hesitated, before sighing, putting his faith in the witch. Opening the door, he gave a charming smile.

Before slamming it shut as Echidna was standing there butt naked.

"Get dressed damn It!"

It didn't take long after that for Echidna to get dressed. Having her fill of Subaru's embarrassment, she contented herself with putting on the outfit she normally wore during Winter, but a bit taken off as she was inside.

Since Subaru wasn't that much of a fashionista or didn't really know the names of proper clothing, he could only describe it simply. She wore a simple long sleeved sweater that went past her waist. The waist, wrist and neck all looked like they were folded in, making it look extra warm. She had stockings that went under her shirt, hiding the ends of them. (1)

In his opinion, she looked just like an office lady.

"So, what the hell were you doing getting dressed in my room?" Subaru grumbled rudely, avoiding Echidna's gaze. It irritated him how she could just casually do this kind of stuff and not feel ashamed (which he secretly encouraged her to do more).

"I was testing an experiment that I've been working on for quite some time and I was switching back into my normal cloths. Lucky for you, you caught me halfway through." Echidna smiled as Subaru flushed.

"And you used my room to get changed? Why didn't you just use the bathroom?" Subaru asked. It wasn't like the bathroom was that far away, so it was strange.

"Ah, well, that would be weird, wouldn't it? To change in someone else's bathroom?"

"Getting dressing in someone's room is even more weirder!" Subaru yelled, slamming his hand on the table in mock anger.

"Oh? Really? I thought it was customary for friend to do such things?"

"Well, I mean, sometimes yeah! But at least have a warning sign! You're a chick for God sakes!" Subaru said as Echidna giggled. He couldn't help but smile. It was good to have someone to talk to that wasn't his dad. "Anyways, what's this experiment you were talking about?"

"Oh!" Suddenly, Echidna's face brimmed with excitement. Getting up from the table, she grabbed the dark material that was at her feet earlier and laid it out on the table. Now that Subaru got a better look at it, the material seemed to be a form of latex. In certain areas like the shoulders and neck would be ring holes, in them a white that for some reason screamed "Pure." Across the chest there was a sort of design that caught his eye. Lines that could be described as ribs all pointed towards another of those rings, giving the impression that it was meant for something other than style. "This! Is my latest experiment! The 'Magic Suit'! That's a temporary name of course!"

"Magical Suit?" Subaru questioned, implying that he wished to hear more. Grabbing it, he looked it over, and the more he looked, the more he saw while lines on the black latex.

"Correct! You remember our talk of Catalysts last week?" Echidna asked. At Subaru's troubled look, she smiled. "Of course, it wasn't that important at the time. A catalyst, at least where I am from, usually applies to a magical Item that allows the user to properly use magic. While it generally isn't needed to use magic, those that have trouble outputting magic use them. It is also a way for beginners to get used to handling magic before going into the field. That is dumbed down version of it at least. There is more to it, but that'll suffice for now."

"So I am guessing that this is like one giant catalyst then?" Subaru asked, laying the suit over himself to see if he would fit. Looking down, the answer was simple, it wouldn't. Normally latex was expandable, but with the rings it seemed to keep the latex in place.

"Correct, but also incorrect." Echidna said, drawing his attention back to him. "While this suit allows the wearer to cast magic normally, it is also used to store magic." Now that grabbed his attention. Storing magic? If what she is implying is possible, then this would be over powered. "I am sure you don't know, but those who wield magic depend on their reserves to cast magic. As time goes on of course, they will continually run out before they need to replenish their spent reserves. With this suit, you will be able to fill it with magic as much as you want then use it as combat before using your reserves."

"So, if someone spent their month filling this suit with magic and used it afterwards?"

"They would be a difficult opponent to beat!" Echidna said cheerily. Subaru stared at her with wide eyes, surprised by what she said. If magic in the real world worked the same way it did in games, then it would indeed be overpowered. "That is not all the Magic Suit can do!"

"There's more?" Subaru asked, surprised again. He could tell Echidna was enjoying this. Sort of like a kid telling their parents how their day went.

"Of course! While the Magic Suit is able to amplify the caster and store magic, it also has the abilities to amplify the users physical abilities!" Echidna said, surprising Subaru even more.

"You don't mean…"

"Yep! The suit will allow you to be able to deal more damage with a punch, run faster, jump higher, and take more hits! Due to the abundance of magic in it, I have taken the liberty of developing a system that will allow the Magic to transform into energy when needed."

"Echidna… T-That's amazing!" Subaru said in excitement as he held up the suit. With this, he would be able to fight with superhuman strength and speed! Maybe, if he was lucky, he would be able to fight in par with someone like Superman or The Hulk! "Echidna! Can you make one of these for me?"

"Of course!" Echidna spoke happily. That was her original goal, so he was going to receive one even if he didn't ask. "Of course this is still in its experimental stage, so none of the physical attributes have been added in. Right now it's just a suit that is able to amplify your magic and is stylish. It will take some time to gather materials for another suit, and I won't be able to do that for awhile."

"That's fine, I can wait." Subaru said, laying the suit across the table. Echidna took that as a sign that he was done, and folded the suit and put it in a bag. "Thank you."

Echidna gave him a small smile. She knew what had happened in the week since she left him, having predicted the reactions of his classmates. In all honesty, she felt s little bad, but not really. While the students and staff may have treated him like an outcast, it worked in her favor to get Subaru to move on.

"Hey Echidna, where have you been this past week?" Subaru asked, curiously. After she had asked him to run away with her, she had all but disappeared without a word or his response. At first it worried him, then he realized that it was a Witch they were talking about. No way something could have happened to her.

"Ah, believe it or not I had some business to take care of in Osaka." Echidna responded honestly. "While I can't go into the details of the matter, I'll have you know it was but a trivial event. There's no need for you to look that deep into it."

"You saying that just makes me want to know even more." Subaru deadpanned, but didn't push the subject. If she didn't want to talk about it, then fine by him. Everyone has their secrets to keep.

"But enough of me; have you come up with an answer?" Echidna asked, leaning on her right hand.

Subaru looked away solemnly, knowing that the question was bound to be brought up, and in all honesty he hadn't found one yet. It wasn't like he had been avoiding the issue either, it was just a difficult topic for him. On one hand, he would be leaving behind his family, who had fed and raised him. The ones who held expectations of their own of him, and hoped for a better future for him; Subaru would be running away from that. On the other hand, that was his only reason to stay. No one in school cared for him and treated him like an outcast. All they did give him was depression and regret. A woman sat in front of him offering not only a way out, but a way for him to become a hero. This was something that he had only dreamt about, and now that it was in front of him, it was difficult to take that next step.

"Do you need more time?" Echidna spoke up. She understood Subaru's position, and while she would be the first one to agree to run away with her, that was mostly just bias talking. "I can give you another week if you want."

"No." Subaru stopped her, biting his lip. He needed to do this, as this was the escape he wanted all his life. To be free of the normalcy. To fight and protect the weak. He needed to leave. "I'll go with you."

Echidna's reaction was immediate. Her smile, which was usually a playful smirk, snapped into a grin as wide as The Jokers. Her eyes lit up with a shine that could only be described as pure happiness, reined in only by Echidna's own self control. Subaru could practically feel the excitement radiating off of Echidna as she stood, dancing without moving.

"This is Great, Subaru! I will make sure that your experience with me is perfect! First, we need to pack up your necessities! We need your toothbrush, at least a week worth of clothes for both summer and winter seasons, and-"

Like a bullet train, Echidna started listing off right and left things they would need. Subaru couldn't help the cold sweat that trailed down his face as she started going through his clothes.

'Did I make the right choice?'

Kenichi Natsuki wasn't always the joking and laid back personality he was to this day. He used to be a hardcore realist with a, while expressive, dull outlook on life. Life and death, while holding a meaning to him personally, didn't really effect him all that much.

It wasn't to say that he didn't care if someone lived or died, contrary to that he was possible the one who was impacted the most when someone died. So much so that his companions in the past had gotten annoyed with that quirk of his.

So when he had found out of the incident with his son, Echidna, and a couple burglars the prior week, he had been devastated. Having been used to the death of people though, he had shoved that feeling aside to comfort his son. It seemed to work, but even he knew that wasn't enough.

Kenichi knew that Subaru would leave with the Witch.

Yes, Kenichi Natsuki knew who Echidna was, or as he used to call her, Ekidona. It wasn't that long ago that he had tea with the Witch along with Shaula and Reid, discussing the possibility of sealing the Witch of Envy.

It hurt knowing that his son, who he did his best to keep away from the world of Lugnica, would be drawn to it willing or not. Kenichi wouldn't stop him, this was Subaru's choice, but it still hurt.

So with this pain in his heart, he slowly walked down the steps to the basement. Opening the door and flicking on the light, he gave his best impression of a father who lost everything.

The basement was empty, save for the table in the middle of the room, holding a black orb. As he drew near, he waved a hand over it, almost lovingly.

This was The Catalyst. A object that allowed one to peer into the past, present and future. To see the weaknesses and strengths of individuals. It was a magic item that was priceless in the world of Lugnica. With this little item, you could start revolutions, ravage countries, and destroy the world. Or, as it was last used, seal a Witch in a tomb.

Kenichi had swore to never use it again, but this was a concerning situation. If a Witch was targeting his son, then he needed to know her intentions. No Witch did anything out of the kindness of their heart, not even Satella, as kind as she was, did anything without an ulterior motive.

As the orb swirled with a black mist, images of blood and regret filled his mind. Like a rivers torrent, he was swept away in the memories of someone else. A world of happiness taken away by a mistake that would haunt her for a lifetime. A want to rewrite the future, and a wish that may go unfilled.

Collapsing, Kenichi couldn't help but sympathize with the Witch. She had been through much to get to where she is now, but this path wasn't right. She needed to be stopped.

Grabbing a cloak and staff, he draped it over himself.

Flugel needed to fix her mistakes with his own hands.

Well, that's it. It's been awhile huh? Well, I am sorry that it's been awhile but I had this urge to write a different fic that dealt with the aftermath (sorta) of a Zombie apocalypse. The thing that stands out about this is that magic and Sci-Fi is involved, so I found it to be intriguing.

Story Rant-

Ok! So let me set something straight, this isn't no Ecchi Harem fic where every scenario has a naked chick fawning over the MC. I added that in to add some comedy to a situation that seemed dire, but wasn't. I felt like if I just went "Oh yeah, it was Echidna getting dressed" it would fall flat on its head. While I am unsure if Echidna would be that assertive, it is shown that she generally doesn't care if Subaru in specific sees her. That's mostly to manipulate him, but I twisted it into a mischievous encounter.

This was to also introduce the Magic Suit. Now I need to set something straight, I made Echidna reference that it was in its experimental stage for a reason. I am unsure how powerful it will be or if I should in the first place. It started out as just a costume idea from me, but I needed a power up for Subaru to beat the 3rd villain since he's way too OP. Hell, I'm thinking of just making it a suit that'll allow him to take more hits. I want your thoughts on this since the reason that makes Subaru's story so entertaining is that it's a weak ass character moving these OP characters against Each other for his own benefit.

Edit- probably won't use the power suit. After awhile of thinking, his initial powers are Extremely OP

I should note that the suit isn't going to be some OP weapon. It's just a way to put him up there with other hero's. He can still be taken out by the like of Batman, Aqualad, Spiderman, Kid Flash and others, but this will at least give him a chance besides just dying over and over. That is his current self by the way.

Now I mentioned some characters who I hope you'll recognized if you read the translation. Mostly Shaula, Reid and Flugel. I have my own theories on who Flugel is, and I put them in this story. I have around 3 more arcs planned out, and I only see one of them being of any use, but it'll take awhile to get there.

I also have a whole bunch of hints in Echidna's motivation this chapter. Echidna has her own story that will be told later on, but this was just to give a taste of that story.

Speaking of Echidna, I hope to show how manipulative and greedy she is in this story. Last chapter, even though Subaru was feeling immense guilt for that one burglar who died, Echidna still selfishly used him to comfort herself. She doesn't do this on purpose, so I wouldn't hate her for it, but it's something to notice as time goes on.

Personal rant-

So I just gotta headache and it feels like the world is spinning. I'm skipping this section.

OH wait! I'm not sure if I said this, so I'll repeat. I'm writing a fic that connects the DC and Marvel universe so it doesn't feel like it was jammed together. It will explore big things like the problem with the Meta Gene and X Gene. Then individual stories like the Nova Corps and Green Lantern Corps. It's called Coexistence since I was too lazy to create a better name.

Reviews-

Nerf585- Possibly. It isn't like I'm against it, but it all depends on how Subaru will react to her methods later on. Same with Rem, as she might not be that love struck character she was in episode 18. Both will be apart of Subaru's life, but it depends on his feelings.

That being said, the people that I see that will love Subaru on a personal level right now are Echidna and Emilia. Emilia is still iffy because of what's going on right now (don't wanna spoil) and Echidna is obvious. Again, I ain't trying to make this a Harem, so I think two is fine for now. We''ll see how things pan out.

(Edit, was half awake when writing the response. Satella is most definitely a attracted to Subaru, but not for reasons that'll be canon. But again, possibly. She will make an appearance, but I'm trying to keep it as canon as possible. If she were to walk out of her seal (which she's been able to do, but choses not too) she could easily destroy the world just by breathing. I don't think anything physical can beat her or touch her.)
