Chapter 5: Marvel Tales
little red riding hood and jupiter's big bad wolf part 1
Superheroes are real. Those words, as simple as they sounded, were something that many people wanted to hear even if they didn't admit it, something that everyone really learned sooner or later was how implausible it was to become real while they grew up.
Certainly from a young age Ruby craved adventure and action of battle, much more than other children in fact, from a very young age Ruby had a desire an inspiration... to be like her uncle Qrow Brandwen
For most a drunk with a very dangerous scythe, for her... her hero, even growing up she never changed her perception of Qrow, for her he was a hero even if he didn't see it that way himself. clearly yang and her father held Qrow in high esteem, however, not as much as Ruby, Qrow was for her her ideal of a hunter, Ruby was not stupid she knew that her uncle was not perfect, that was clear even so that never It stopped her from admiring him. After all he was the closest thing to a superhero…or in his case a super hunter.
When ruby woke up her semblance it was the first time she felt super powerful, the feeling that ruby perceives every time she uses her semblance is unique. A freedom that is difficult to describe and explain, it is as if it were her purest state of existence. Flying at high speed almost like a bird soaring through the skies was simply indescribable. Ruby knew that she didn't really fly when she used her semblance it was just like riding the wind at top speed.
When she was a little girl, ruby dreamed of rising above the skies and flying further than anyone else had, touching the clouds with her fingertips and breathing the pure air of the heights, surely every child's dream, the dream that Growing up in one way or another, everyone forgets.
Ruby really didn't expect that dream to come true a few minutes ago. Much less the way she did
United States. Somewhere in Washington state. Tony's Burger Restaurant. 10:00 a.m. March 3.
A common Wednesday like any other. Drivers took a break and stopped for breakfast. The occasional family on a vacation trip. So the couple sitting near the largest window didn't stand out much... except for the youngest's hair almost as if she had just come out of a giant dryer.
- You're calmer now, right? – A man asked, his tone of voice was calm, friendly to put it one way, red hair and a very impressive bearing despite the simple clothes of a trailer driver, his musculature was remarkable
- ... yes ... - ruby whose hair was very messy and had a lost look in her coffee, took a sip from her cup, for a hunter like her adrenaline was something common to face fear and live the adventure of the moment- already I am fine…
flashback
-a few minutes ago-
Among the clear skies of the United States, the figure of a caped man wearing a black and gold suit could only be seen by the most observant. The man soared through the skies as if he were a bird, a living wonder, in his arms a very firm black-haired girl was attached to him, almost like a distant echo if you paid attention you could hear a loud
-kyyyyyyyyaaaaaaaa-
Which was lost in the clouds and scared the birds
end of flashback
- I'm fine now - certainly flying in an aircraft comfortably versus feeling the wind blow directly against your face are very different ways of experiencing flight. Not even in the test where the RWBY team was formed did I experience something so ... peculiar
- I'm glad, the first time is quite a journey for some
- Yes. I think I can never forget that
- You look down, do you want another foot?
- I'm not down... and if I would like another foot
- Waitress- Mark true to his word I ask for another foot
For ruby it was still very curious to see where the superhero had brought her, a restaurant with a theme of the 60s, she crossed from New York to Washington a great distance almost as great as crossing from vale to atlas and all in one few minutes. She was crazy, come to think of it that fits the job of a superhero.
He was hyperion the so called man of tomorrow, super speed, flight super strength, invulnerable, laser vision, super senses and a cool red cape, this man had all the combo of powers easily she saw herself buying all his merchandise so why one of the most powerful men on the planet took her to that place?
- The foot of this place is the best in America that I can assure you, I drive my trailer at least once a month whenever I walk through Washington on my deliveries
- I don't understand
- Well sometimes I have to travel to pitsburg and the food there is not so good, but hey the tacos over there are delicious
- Not about the food. About this Why are we here?
- To chat. My mother used to say that a talk accompanied by a good foot helps to clarify the ideas
- That sounds good, has it ever served you?
- More than you can imagine
- I don't want to sound rude, what exactly do you want to talk to me about? is it some test of the avengers?
- Steve asked me to talk to you
- What is the cause of that
- It's because Ruby rose, you and I are the same
- What do you mean? - That they could have a teenager who loves weapons and scythes with a muscular and hyper powerful man, in addition to his fine taste for layers
- We are both survivors-I clarify seriously
- Huh?
- You saw your home world die before it exploded, saved by a greater force and now you are on earth dealing with it, learning how to fit in a new and different place but that at the same time is so familiar to you- I point to a waiter dressed as Elvis Presley- no family to back you up, few allies willing to help you and yet you still feel a hole- Ruby widened her eyes- A hole you hope will go away with time, it doesn't, you tell yourself you just need time. Time that seems to never come and suddenly you don't find the strength to continue. you have the motivation, you know that continuing is the right thing to do. It is what you want…and yet when you see others like you, others who want to help, who do and you see a spark in their eyes…something you once had to spare,
Ruby's eyes were wide open that you could easily tell what she was thinking, how exactly did that man say his deepest thoughts?
- H-how?
- I already told you, you and I are the same- he took a slice of foot- only with a different cosmic scale- he said before biting his foot
- What does it refer to?
- You saw your world die, well I watched my universe die
- That!
- Let me tell you my story
Ruby was very attentive to the superhero's words.
- I am not from the earth like you I come from another world, my planet {1}Argos was once a utopia, its inhabitants no longer knew hunger or poverty, however at the height of their civilization a disaster natural to only what was once one of the most advanced civilizations in the universe
- Oh
- On the verge of destruction my parents placed me in a rocket and sent me to the stars in search of a primitive planet very similar to Argos, its inhabitants called it Earth, my parents planned to accompany me in another ship, but the circumstances did not know They allowed and Argos exploded.
- Exploded!
- I don't know the exact details, but it seems that somehow Its core had become unstable in the end the planet collapsed in its own gravitational field, I escaped hours in advance, I was a baby, a baby alone in the cosmos, the last of my kind… the last son of Argos the last of the eternals
Ruby remained silent just imagining that hyperion went through that being just a baby was something very serious and even more so what happened to him was worse than what happened with his own world, at least she managed to save herself with her friends and a part of remnant even could be out there, for hyperion that option was not.
- What happened later?
- Then I arrived on earth, my ship crashed in this land blessed by our Lord, United States, a young man found me in the middle of an abandoned field, contrary to what you would believe, he was not afraid, on the contrary, he showed genuine concern for my condition, Despite the burden I represented, he adopted me as his son. He called me Mark. Not long after, Mark Milton married a beautiful woman, my mother, and for a time we were happy.
-…
- At first I was like any other person, you know, without super strength, nothing about flight and much less laser vision, I was just another normal guy who aspired to an honest and decent life, while I grew up my abilities manifested themselves not long in realizing how peculiar what it really was
- That's how you became
- Hyperion, the name came to my mother in fact, in the early days I caused a ruckus- a small smile adorned his fraternal face in fact- it is a bit nostalgic to remember those days that golden age, back then the things were simpler than now, it was a simpler world
huperion's words were laden with a sense of remorse in a way ruby reminded her of herself when she thought of her days in beacon and her friends before salem before galactiac
- Over time I realized that I was not the only abnormality in the world little by little they began to emerge from everywhere in fact, I heard the rumors of the golden archer in the south, the dark watcher in the north, the stories of a powerful woman capable of decimating tanks with her bare hands in the west and those of a man faster than any bullet
- You talk about more superheroes- a small thread of emotion was felt in his voice
- That's right, for the first time in my life I felt like part of something else, something bigger than myself, a beacon of hope for all humanity, it didn't take long for a common threat to unite us and on that day, yes. we came together as a team, the world called us heroes, we were proud and on that day we formed something that changed the world
- Wait, are you talking about the avengers? Don't tell me you're a founding member!
- no, i'm not talking about the avengers, back then we called ourselves the squadron supreme
- Those who?
- I'm not surprised that you don't know him like I told you before Ruby, I'm not from this place, but it's not just the fact that he's from another planet, I'm from another universe
- Wait what
- In my world in my land there was not something like avengers x-men or fantastic four, no... instead we had the strongest and most powerful woman our princess of power, the fastest man on earth a blur for the eyes of the men, a dark watchman and the best friend i ever had, a night hawk that protected the innocent and of course a watch light that shone like a rainbow a spectrum of living light
- That sounds amazing
- we the squad were the greatest heroes the only heroes and in fact we achieved many things, many achievements, we really made the earth a better place, conquerors of other worlds, power hungry terrorists, secret societies of supervillains, there was no threat that the squad could not overcome ... or so we thought
- What happened?
- One day we received an emergency message, the signal was from the earth, but not from our earth, it was the first time we came into contact with an alternate world in the past we had already heard of the multiverse although we had never run into it at least not until we get that sign
- Whose signal was it?
- They called themselves the great society, so different and at the same time so similar to us, their universe was in danger and if theirs fell ours would follow, they asked for our help, we gladly accepted we could not see something like that and leave them to their fate what else could we do we were superheroes help was our duty
Ruby was attentive to the story, Mark's eyes darkened as the story progressed.
- They explained the situation to us, it was a phenomenon that was devastating the vast multiverse they called it "incursions" the clash of two realities, a world dies a world lives or both die
- Holy
- The great society discovered that the causers forced the champions of both realities to fight to the death those who managed to destroy the opposing planet would prevail with their universe
- And what would happen if they lost?
- There was nothing but death then, no mercy, no mercy
- Who could cause something so horrible
- They called themselves the builders, an incredibly advanced race, for them the incursions were nothing more than experiments, so we managed to find out they were preparing for something greater than them, an adversary they called the race of the beyonders, we never knew who or what they were, the builders were already enough of a threat to incite a bigger one so we focused on them both teams unified into an alliance like never before
- That sounds very good
- On paper it was, in practice on the other hand, we took the builders to a neutral reality with a lot of effort where we thought we could contain them, they soon tried to force us into a fight to the death for the survival of one of our lands, but our will and sense of justice was greater than their manipulation, we fought against them, in the fight some of our own fell in battle, that only motivated us more
- Y-you lost- you don't need to be a genius to see where the facts point
-...the fight was even...in a certain way we were at a standstill, but then the very cowards panicked apparently their rivals the beyonders had detected them in an attempt to take as many beyonders as they could they started a self-destruct sequence, we tried to stop them in vain it was too late
-…
- Their suicide attack was not a simple bomb they destroyed the physical laws of their reality, they turned their own universe into a bomb by being in an intermediate zone between their reality and ours we were indirectly linked or rather they linked them to strengthen their explosion
- What they what!
- They planned to destroy everything they could, we tried to stop them, reverse the process or avoid it. we failed
-…
- And then I only remember an absolute white, there I was alone floating in the void, my body hurt and my consciousness faded, I remember slightly feeling something touching me and then nothing, the next thing I remember is waking up in a laboratory immobilizing
- How did you get there?
- There is a criminal group called advanced mechanical ideas AIM for short they are one of the heavyweights among the criminal groups of the underworld, apparently they were building a portal between dimensions in one of their tests they detected a spatial disturbance that connected with their signal, it turned out Being me, I walked through your portal more dead than alive
- My God
- AIM took me as a prisoner - not rather as their guinea pig, for months they experimented with me, they found it fascinating especially to their leader, it was not until the avengers entered their facilities that they freed me, at the beginning I was Confused, I believed that everything was an illusion or a trick of the builders...but it wasn't, I was the last son of a dead world...again
Ruby could now understand hyperion's words and even managed to see a small tear escape from his eye.
- I never met argos really I was only able to collect small bits of information over the years and I never knew what my biological parents were called so I never really had a real connection with them, but with the earth... it is true that my land and these were almost the same, a story almost the same, the same countries, the same governments and even so the little things were not there, my friends did not exist, there was never a supreme squad that defended the world, there was never a hyperion that protected new york from crimson sentinel…nothing at all
- Me…
- I was devastated, I failed everyone, my friends, my world, the great society and its world and everything so that I would be the one to live… what a great failure I became the man of tomorrow. what a bad joke
- That! you can't blame yourself for what happened- Ruby suddenly exclaimed- from what you say things were not easy nobody could have foreseen that they faced something that surpassed them and even so they never gave up they fought until the last consequences
- And what was the use in the end we failed
- But…but you're here, doesn't that count for something?
- Who knows, when I die all memory of Argos or my land will be lost in the cosmos, like dust motes, as if it had not meant something
- Then you just have to make it mean something. You cannot give up, not while that possibility exists, you must stand firm because if you want all of this to be worth it, you must believe what it does and forge a path that demonstrates it. Maybe not for you but for those who are no longer here, it's your duty!
- Big words, was that advice for me or for you?
- That I…
- You know Ruby I envy you
- From my
- You are not alone, you have your friends and from what I heard there is still a good chance of getting your home back
- Well I
- You're right about the part about not giving up, this world is very different from mine but even so they welcomed me for a second time and at least until I die I will defend it as their protector maybe the squad is no longer here, maybe I don't be the first people think of when they're in trouble, but i'll make it worth your while...and so should you ruby
- Me- hyperion's story was deeper than Ruby came to expect in the first instance, his was much worse than his situation and even so this man was still trying to move on- I thank you hyperion... that really helped ...I think it's time to take a step forward
- Call me Mark we are friends after all
- Of course we are- a genuine smile adorned Ruby's face, recovering even more that brightness that characterized her so much in the past
- Okay then let's eat these feet
- I'd love to
They both enjoyed the sweet in front of them now more pleasant than when they arrived
In the meantime
Oblivious to them a crisis was at NASA, the space shuttle jupiter 9 was experiencing technical failures
nHouston we are in trouble! many problems- captain jameson's voice on the monitor sounded nervous
nCaptain Jameson, we've lost communication! ZZZKKK ZZKK Lost contact with ZZZQQZZ
nWe must contact sword or the avengers ... I'm satisfied even with the mutants
nIt is already too late, no one is fast enough to help them, at the speed at which they are going they will re-enter the atmosphere in less than 15 seconds, not without first taking the international station with them
nI told them that cloaking technology was experimental and unsafe
nThis is not the time to point fingers, we must do everything humanly possible to rescue these men
nOnly a miracle can save them
Back to the cafeteria with Ruby and Mark
The redhead stopped eating his foot, his expression changed to a more serious one.
"What's wrong?" he said, noticing her change.
- A runaway space shuttle I'll be back as soon as I can
- Wait! I can help
- No, there are still many things you don't understand about this world and this is not something you can deal with
- I understand that there are people who are in trouble maybe I don't have crescent rose anymore but if what you mentioned is true then it's my duty to help
Hyperio was silent for a moment, the look in Ruby's eyes he had seen that look so many times that he had lost count. The look of a hero a true hero, she saw it in the policemen who risked their lives daily, in firefighters who jumped into the flames to save the wounded, in paramedics who crossed the deadliest war zones to save as many as they could
Ruby rose was a mystery to hyperon so down and at the same time so full of determination
what a unique person
- Okay, but you will obey everything I say
- Of course you can count on me
- Let's go
- By the way, you'd better hold your breath for a few minutes when I tell you to.
- Alright
Hyperion carried ruby in his arms and took flight into the atmosphere wrapping ruby in his cloak and between his powerful muscles to protect her from friction.
The shuttle is dangerously close to the space station, the staff of the same were alert worried about what seemed an inevitable accident. the boss tocargo prepared their crew for impact, they certainly didn't expect a caped man to walk into the equipment room very calmly and take in the blink of an eye part of the equipment to give it in a few seconds to a teenage girl?
Ruby herself was amazed at the speed of hyperion to get her into the space suit in seconds, Ruby did not expect to return to space so soon, everything was so unreal and strangely very cool, and the astronaut suit was very cool.
Concentrating Ruby allowed Hyperion to drop her into the shuttle right next to the hatch, with her super strength Hyperion forced the hatch allowing the hunter to enter using her semblance she was able to do so before causing serious decompression.
The plan, although improvised, was simple, ruby would help the crew from the inside, according to hyperion, he was able to determine that they are still alive, so ruby would only make sure that it remained that way while he was in charge of stopping the fall.
The young hunter made her way to the cabin but noticed that there were strangely claw marks on the metal. Did the astronauts carry a dog or a wild animal? Well she wasn't an expert on that subject, she still found it hard to believe how advanced space travel was from earth to remnant she never thought something like that was possible.
Arriving at the cabin he could notice first of all a crimson glow that enveloped the cabin the unconscious bodies of the astronauts were scattered still alive, but unconscious only one remained apparently conscious, he hoped it was the captain.
-H-hello, I'm here to help, I'm here with the superhero from outside, don't worry- the man didn't answer -Sir, are you alright? help has come- he said trying to sound as heroic as possible, fortunately the helmet hid his face, after all what kind of superhero does not hide his secret identity
The man did not answer any more, however he leaned even more, ruby could see that he was trembling
- Sir- worried I advance
- I tried to warn everyone, I tried to tell them that it was a danger, but they did not listen to me
- Danger? He talks about the damage in the engines, don't worry my friend outside will take care of everything
- N-no s-they should be h-here, it's sup-posed to look like aaaacc-ident
- What... what are you talking about? Is the lack of oxygen affecting it?
- V-go away
- Clearly you are not well, move away from the controls before you get hurt friend
- C-run
- That
Ruby could see how the man's hair turned silver at the rate it grew covering practically his entire body, the gloves and boots of the suit were torn giving way to sharp claws, the muscles of the arms and legs grew, a tail ripped the body even more. suit and his face warped into the snout of a canine, great pairs of fangs visible as humanity abandoned the gaze of man giving way to a beast.
- Holy holy cats you are a man beowulf!
- Grrrrrrrr
The werewolf lunged at the unarmed Ruby to her surprise.
- Maybe it wasn't a good idea to come!
Goldilocks and the 3 evil monkeys part 1
Away from space and hundreds of kilometers in New York, a thread of cobweb ascended between the immense skyscrapers and the urban environment until it reached an ancient cathedral adorned at each end with gargoyles. A hand took the load that the web was carrying... a hotdog
- Dude, these are the best hotdogs I've ever tasted - I affirm, stained with sauce on a large part of the yang face
- I told you Patrick's hotdogs are the best in Manhattan - said the spider-man with a smile
- And I shouldn't have doubted it
Yang did not expect that the first thing that the spider-man would do would be to take her to eat hotdogs on a rooftop, from the looks of the rest of the avengers I imagine that they would go on a mystical trip or something of the sort
- Hey I don't want to sound unfriendly, but you're not supposed to do I don't know something with me
- We're eating right?
- Well yes, but
- Were you hungry?
- That's also true
- For me that counts as something, don't you think?
- You're partly right,
- So you guys are like aliens?
- Hey from my point of view you are the aliens, it is very strange that we look so similar being from another planet
- Well, when you have the fantastic 4 on your contact list, the strange thing is normality
- Hey, what's it like to be a super hero? I mean I've seen videos and some articles of the avengers and the rest, but I've had that doubt, you're about my age I guess you should have a perspective closer to mine
- ... well ... that is more difficult to answer than you think
- Uh, why?
- The avengers and the fantastic 4 are like super stars, you know? Most of the time they are adored and praised, naturally like any public figure there will be times when the press has turned against them and popular opinion has not been favourable.
Certainly yang knew firsthand what it was like to have people who praise you go on to insult you and spread rumors about you, so he could understand spider-man's point.
- After the super stars there are other groups of more…nationalistic heroes like alpha fligth more linked to the government and powers of the state, their actions are rarely public and normal people usually do not remember what they are called with some exceptions and well at end there are guys like me or the x-men
- What do you mean?
- The marginalized and disowned
- that!
- Well with the x-men it's a racial issue, not many people like mutants, I remember that in my early days some pedestrians almost beat me up after a fight when they saw me injured with the justification that I was a mutant
- Friend is... horrible, that sounds like the things that the white fang complained about
- Yes... it is, well the x-men will be able to tell you in more detail that ugly side of being a hero of a minority, guys like me or daredevil are always seen by the majority as a threat for whatever reason
- I don't understand, you are an avenger. Why would someone see you as a threat?
- I've asked myself that question since I was 15, read the clarion there they blame me for practically 90% of the super criminals in the city
- I'm very confused old man, the avengers talked a lot about you as jokes, and it's clear that Cap called you for something. Why would the press hate you?
- Well the avengers are mostly public heroes, that is to say iron man was once part of the team to protect his secret identity although the press never messed with him so hard, eventually he revealed to the press that tony stark and iron man were the same , by that point tony already had a solid career, thor is the nordic god of thunder he had immediate acceptance from norway, captain america was already a war hero before being with the avengers, she hulk is a lawyer so i bought the rights of their image and I sue a lot of tabloid newspapers in their early days, what I mean is that people judge them with less…intensity than guys like me who prefer to hide our faces behind a very cool mask
- The fantastic 4 are also public and they seem to be doing well, I've read many comics and usually the secret identity is to protect loved ones, is that your case spider-man?
- That's how I am...I'm not as amazing as I would like to be, I'm a normal guy within everything, I have a normal job, a normal family and everything, being spider-man is part of my identity, but it is not in its entirety , many times I have wanted to quit, throw away the suit and go back to being a normal guy going from day to day, being spider-man many times has ruined my life in more ways than one
- Then why? Why do you keep doing it? – Yang was very attentive to the responses of the spider-man, something in him reminded her of herself, like seeing herself in a mirror in a certain way
- Because with great power comes great responsibility
- huh?
- My father and my uncle believed…it was just a philosophy, a moral price actually, that if you could do something good for other people, you had a moral obligation to do it, that's what this is about, not…opinions of others, it is about responsibility
Yang had his eyes wide open, this man, he was much more than he showed it, when yang saw him he thought his suit was funny, could it be just empty words? No, something inside her told her, this man's words were true, maybe after so many lies he could now see when someone told the truth
- …me
Before they both continued their talk, an explosion silenced them both.
- What the hell- the sounds of screaming were heard
- Trouble, stay here I'll go
- Wow wow wait I will not stay here doing nothing, not when there are people in trouble
- As far as the cap said, you are not in a position to fight and that prosthetic arm is not made to fight
- That doesn't matter, listen even if I don't have my gun I know how to fight in training all my life for these things, I know how to take care of myself, besides it wouldn't be my first rodeo against petty criminals
- This is not a game people could get hurt
- I know that, and that's why I want to go, you said it before, right? On helping another if you can
- …I certainly did, I won't be able to convince you not to come right?
- Nope
Spider-man looked at the blonde girl and sighed in defeat.
- Okay, but you should hide your face
- Necessary?
- Yes
- Well, I guess it's something of your own, do you have something I can do it with?
- You're lucky that the good uncle spidy is carrying his extra mask today - he took out a piece of red cloth from... inside his suit- here, it's... a little sweaty, but it's the only thing I have
Yang saw the piece of cloth…sweaty…and thought of her hair
- Give me that, let me make a couple of modifications
- There is no time - spider-man took yang and carried her before launching her web and swinging, the huntress clung to him
- Dude you have to teach me how to use those bracelets of yours, this hanging thing is very cool
- Yes, maybe when you grow up - the wall climber joked
Thanks to spider-man, they reached the source of the explosion, the natural history museum, a curtain of smoke and debris remained, revealing a large hole. Surely the police were already on their way
Spider-man and yang entered the building
- Mask, now
- I'm coming, I'm coming, just wait- yang took the mask and ripped it turning it into a mask
- hears! She was borrowed, do you know how long it takes me to cook those things?
- Wait, you made your suit, how cool! You must be very good at sewing
- Don't change the subject by praising my good sewing skills
- Don't get mad, I'll make it up to you, but I can't let my hair touch sweat other than mine
- …okay…let's continue let's see what happens here
They both proceeded cautiously.
- I thought bad guys usually rob banks and stuff
- You watch a lot of old cartoons
- That's my sister actually
- I can only think of one reason why someone would attack the museum
- Because?
- The Blue Ape Exhibit
- blue ape?
- If it is part of a group of relics found in South America, the most striking was a statue of an ape made of sapphire
- I guess it's worth a lot
- Yes, but usually they try to steal these things at night without being so flashy
- What does that mean
- That the one behind this doesn't care about subtlety
Both arrived at the room where the exhibition was exhibited, the museum guards lay unconscious on the floor and 4 figures stood
- Oh no, this guy - spider-man whispered
- do you know him?
- If he is the red ghost and his super apes
The man in question was an elderly Caucasian man, bald and wearing a red full body coat, at his side was a gorilla, a baboon and an orangutan.
- What kind of person wears a coat in summer?
- One with very specific tastes for fashion
The red ghost took the blue ape statue
- it's finally mine! With this piece my research will take a step forward, very soon all the apes on this planet will be under my mandate
- Oh oh oh
- Uha ha
- uk uk
The three primates began to cheer the old man
- first new york, tomorrow the world!
To yang it really seemed like a situation he would read about in one of ruby's comics including the villain's cheesy monologue, before he could think of anything else spider-man's web was shot.
- Yes, I'll take this fourth class Santa Claus
- but what! spider-man!
- And her brave companion the wonder girl web-girl! - clarified spider-man trying to imitate the voice of cap
- that's not my name!
- I'm improvising
- Could you think of something better?
- Like what?
- I don't know, is spider-girl already taken?
- There are like three
- really? is that legit?
- I wonder the same -he said strangely depressed
- I don't care what your name is, kill them! – I declare annoyed the red ghost
The three super apes went on the attack
- Finally, a fight, come on I've knocked down things bigger than you since I was 5 years old - yang launched himself against the mandrill, without ember celica she didn't have the firepower to propel herself and her prosthetic arm surely won't resist fighting directly against the gorilla like that which was for the one that seemed the least dangerous given the circumstances
- Spider-man did not expect you to appear, to tell the truth I expected at least Captain America
- You hurt my feelings holy, am I on the black list this year?
- Your pathetic jokes have no arachnid effect on me. Do you think I'll be as explosive as Octavius?
- You evil super geniuses don't get along. It's because he has hair, right?
- I'm going to enjoy killing you spider
- That's crazy.
- Igor rips that jester to pieces! – the red ghost was furious
The baboon turned into a wolf trying to bite the spider-man
- Wait, why do you think that transforming into a wolf is an enhancement to your natural monkey powers?
Surprisingly igor stopped his attack, pondering his answer
- Idiot do not stay deliberating and kill him! – At the order of his master igor reacted to his attack, but the spider-man punched him in his snout
- Back Santa's helper, now wooaah- the spider-man was thrown towards one of the walls
The third super ape laughed at this.
- Well done Peotr
- Ook ook ak ak- the mentioned one started debris from the ground with his telekinesis and together with igor they approached the spider-man
- That will teach that cocky. now about the girl
yang continued his fight against the gorilla, it was really difficult to fight with only one arm, the prosthetic would surely not withstand a blow with his real strength, not to mention that not having ember celica added a greater difficulty to combat, even with his gauntlets fighting the gorilla would be tricky. Right now yang xiao long greatly appreciated one thing… his good genetics!
With a kick to his face he drove the gorilla away
Si yang was grateful to her parents for inheriting such long and defined legs, it wasn't her style to fight so many kicks and few punches, but given the circumstances she couldn't complain.
The blonde was already starting to sweat, the gorilla was as strong or maybe stronger than a Beringel, in another time this would be fun now it was just annoying
The gorilla was fed up with the blonde girl, he shouted in fury and punched the blonde hard, that silly human would feel his power as a superior species, except for his master, humans were not a big deal.
serious mistake
- That was a good blow friend- Mikhlo was surprised to see her standing as if his blow did not affect her, was she like that man in the yellow shirt of the avengers? -now it's my turn- her eyes turned red and her hair shined in a neon yellow tone
The gorilla was not intimidated
Yang and mikhlo were now evenly matched in strength much to each other's annoyance, the punches and kicks of both trying to overwhelm each other, but perhaps it was their shared stubbornness that wouldn't let the other submit.
However, the fight was laziness for an action. Something so insignificant, a small thing indeed
One of his punches managed to pull out 5 hairs from yang
- UK UK- the gorilla made fun of yang's expression thinking that his look was because of pain
The yang veins were marked on his healthy arm when he saw his golden hair on the ground.
-y.. disgusting monkey- now his eyes did shine in a deep red and his hair burned like flame - I WILL CRUSH YOU!- a powerful blow fell on the jaw of the gorilla
Yang pounced on the gorilla giving him bursts of blows to his belly, the poor gorilla did not expect that power, his eyes almost popped out, the blonde's arrogant smile did not help. The gorilla finally fell unconscious.
- That was exciting mate. Now the main course - yang approached the red ghost who remained stoic - this is the part where you give up old man
- I see that the spider-man chose a companion as cretinous as the
- I'll take that as a compliment. Don't fight me and I'll be good to you I'm not in the mood for cheap tricks
- Silly girl you don't know who you're messing with
- Ha, well let's see how rude you are- yang confidently prepared to punch him, the old man reminded him a bit of professor port, but he asked for it, yang deduced that the gorilla would surely be the strong man of the group, surely the semblance Or the old man's ability was to be able to control the monkeys or at least those three, a serious mistake on his part - huh? - His fist pierced the man as if it were mist
- Pathetic- instead of her being the one to hit him, it was yang who received the punch
- Agh that hurt man
- that is all? I'm disappointed, spider-man was more of a challenge than your girl
- So dodge this - yang used all his knowledge in martial arts that he knew to try to attack him. However, all of his attacks were useless, they just pierced his body.
- Silly brat, do you think I call myself red ghost for no reason? – the old man smiled arrogantly
- You're pissing me off my friend
- What a primitive specimen
- What did you call me!
- And apparently deaf
Yang was furious, even so, as much as she tried to hit him, her blows passed through the old man's intangible body, the red ghost did not bother to dodge even returning the blows
- "Damn! This guy no matter how hard I try I can't hit him, he's also beating me up, at this rate I'll look like a loudmouth"
The red ghost reveled in yang's seeming despair
- hey holy! You forgot one of your elves- spider-man reappeared as he threw the baboon into the human's face, the blow knocked the old man off his feet.
- Arggghh
- huh? - yang was surprised because the monkey managed to hit him - that's it! – It was clear as water, the hunter was already able to deduce what was the weakness of her power
- Damn climbs walls
- ook ook! - the baboon proclaimed revenge not only for himself but for the defeat of his companions, but - ook? - yang took the monkey by the tail and
- Take this! - As if it were a whip, I hit a surprised red ghost with the monkey - I have discovered your weakness old man
- Agh what's wrong with you, that's animal cruelty!
- Maybe it is, but it's the way to defeat you
- What are you talking troglodyte?
- Your weakness of course… monkeys are your weakness! - I declare very sure
-…
- ... - the baboon looked confused at the blonde
- you are stupid? – the red ghost genuinely asked
- what did you call me!
- I am the red ghost, me and my super apes are a team, I came here to steal something that will give me control over a legion of apes. What kind of fool do you think I would be if monkeys were my weakness?
- Exactly so no one would suspect that it is your weakness. Hiding something in plain sight, it's brilliant
- …did mikhlo hit you so hard that he turned you into a retard?
- Nope. It's called chump distraction - she said with a smile
"Huh?" Before he knew it, Spider-Man's fist had hit him hard enough to knock him out. Yang took the opportunity and shot down the last ape
- That old man will teach you not to steal.
- Well done spiderlings- he said renaming her
- Nope
- too soon to be my henchman?
- In any case, you would be my old man
- What makes you say that?
- Because I'm amazing
- Well... I'm spectacular
Yang smiled the spider-man was really liking him
- Hey, what are you doing? - Spider-man hung the red ghost on his web while he put a note
- It's like mine, you know?
- Oh I see. Your personal brand, I like it, you won't put eggs in it or something, right?
- that! No, yuck, I'm not literally a spider.
- I do not judge
- I will not do it!
- I believe you…for now- he said narrowing his eyes while the spider-man sighed- ok now what do we do
- We go
- Aren't we waiting for the police or something?
- Unless you wear a star on your chest
- But we are not criminals
- The police don't usually like that we masked people do their job, it is more likely that they will try to arrest us, I tell you from experience
- Dude that sucks in my world licensed hunters could arrest criminals if the opportunity arose
- Yes well in this world unless you are an avenger or someone from the fantastic 4 in most cases the police will only see a crazy guy in disguise. Let's go
Yang kicked a stone with some anger.
- Hey by the way, are you okay? That monkey hit you hard
- huh? Oh sure it's nothing, my aura almost depleted, but I managed to turn it around
- What about you
- It's true I'm not used to the fact that there is no aura in this place
- I remember it was something like a force field, right?
- Well it's more complicated than that, I'm not good at those things, it's weird to explain to someone about the aura, you know? Only someone very isolated would not know- he remembered jaune and oscar- although he would never judge someone for not knowing hehehe
- I don't know why that last part sounded more to you than to me
The sounds of sirens alerted the duo
- It seems that you're right, it's time to go - yang clung to spider-man while they rose in their webs, leaving the red ghost hanging
Before the police arrived. From the shadows a female figure emerged.
- Poor fool, did you really think you could get ahead of me? – the light now allowed us to see a woman with white hair and a black cat-themed outfit, very attractive indeed – fortunately for me as always I can count on spider to save the day- I take the statue of the blue ape – although I don't like it that strange little girl, but well it will be a problem for another day- she left the way she came, leaving only the red ghost and his super apes.
belladonna and the beast
Avengers Tower - Library
The Earth and Remnant were unusually similar, some cultural and gastronomic aspects existed in both worlds, since he began to learn more details about the earth and its culture, one of the most striking of them was the fact that chess existed in both worlds with exactly the same rules.
- It's been a while since I had such a splendid game- Hank McCoy praised the x-men better known as Beast
Blake had read many articles about him and mutant discrimination, Blake was very happy to talk to her about it. Mutants, around the 60's of human chronology began to manifest, the Homusuperior the next step in the evolution of Homosapiens, in the early years they were branded not as miracles on the contrary they were feared, hated and hunted.
Many theories arose because in the last decades so many mutants were born, reaching in the 90s the greatest boom in mutants born, the most popular theory was that they were the result of the increase in radiation from atomic bombs, the mutants children of the atom
For blake reading about mutants was in many ways to see one of his most frequent nightmares, one of his worst fears, the discrimination that fauns received compared to mutants was laughable, the hatred of mutants was so palpable that he almost vomited when he read the first articles on the subject, the horrors he had seen, and above all the sentinel program, the videos on youtube of those two-meter mechanical abominations pulverizing mutants, often begging for their lives, were…horrible.
Blake for a moment thought that the earth was hell in the cosmos, but the extremists are not the voice of the people, the x-men a group of mutants that fight for equality between humans and mutants was simply cathartic, the x-men in many ways they were what she always wished the white fang had been. She already felt enormous admiration and respect for Professor Xavier, his fight for the equal rights of both races was inspired and Hank Mcoy was no less, her articles denoted a great humanity that was greatly surprised to see retractors of the same
- Thanks for the compliment, I used to play with Weiss when we were in beacon, of course when Ruby was still
- I'm glad to hear that, those experiences are the bases to form a good chemistry and that translates into a more coordinated teamwork, not to mention the issue of trust, I hope you have been able to settle in the tower
- It's still a work in progress... it's still strange to be here
- Oh I can understand when I moved to the avengers mansion it was weird at first
- do the avengers have a mansion?
- The tower was not always their headquarters, on more than one occasion the headquarters had to be changed
- I wanted to ask this question… What is it like to have been an x-men and an avenger?
- Hohoho how interesting- moving his beast bishop he continued with a smile- I am one of the few who can say that he has been in both teams that is true mmm I would say that the perspective of both teams changes
- What do you mean?
- With the x-men no matter the nature of the mission or how well or badly we do things, the press will always denote as negative as possible, the x-men have saved the earth at least a dozen times, but seldom will we be headlines more than for gossip or yellow notes
- that is not fair! I have heard the stories of the professor and captain Rogers has spoken highly of the x-men
- Man fears what he does not understand, the avengers are the highest lineage of homosapiens, some are not very different from mutants, but the fact that they are homosapiens or beings from other worlds in a certain way does not matter to people, exceptional individuals they have always existed so their impact although strong is not as serious at least not as the perception of my race, mutants are seen by many as the "replacement" of man, people do not care that a millionaire builds a suit of combat, that a man survives the explosion of a bomb and becomes an emerald giant, the common person cares to preserve a status quo, a familiar environment, one that they recognize to feel in control, that they be the "wonders" those who mess with strange things should serve for that,but with the mutants…
- Things change
- It is no longer just having the thought that there may be someone better or not, it is seeing that since his birth that someone will grow to be much more than you, he will reach the stars before you, he will have a better job than you, he will have fame and power, while you sink from darkness, you are obsolete and your age has passed. This is how many see mutants, as threats.
- That's horrible, you guys are not monsters or replacements
- Perhaps it is, but it is part of the nature of man and there will be no true union between man and mutants until that nature can be changed
Blake sighed, the parallels between the mutants and the fauns were noticeable and worrying, it really made his dreams of a harmonious coexistence between fauns and humans seem more and more unattainable.
- Do not despair my young friend, it is true what I said, man is afraid of what he does not understand or control and yet it is also true that part of the nature of man is to change, perhaps not today or tomorrow, it may even be I left this world before I saw it, but I believe that the day will come when man and mutants can coexist as equals. Some will call me a fool, a dreamer or an idealist, many will reproach my beliefs, but I will stand firm in them because my will and faith are so great that they will lift me up from all adversity.
To say that blake was impressed was an understatement, this man had left her speechless, his words were… inspiring to say the least.
- And well, I think this is checkmate - sentenced beast with a smile
- How? - asked blake
- Well you have good instincts, but you neglect several aspects of the strategy
- I'm not talking about the game, I'm talking about the theme of mutants
- Oh you mean how can I keep thinking so positive, it wasn't always like that
- it was not?
- No…sadly no. When I was younger, mutants were still a novelty, an anomaly, in those days the racism against mutants was much more intense, believe it or not, I didn't used to look so…blue
- what do you mean?
- My mutation gave me great physical qualities, agility and strength
- That sounds good
- I would have been if not for one factor, my hands and feet were unusual in every way, my feet were almost three times the size of an average adult, I was ashamed of myself, I considered myself a freak
-Dr Mccoy
- Even when the professor recruited me as part of the first generation of the x-men, I felt...simple in a certain way, ha the irony, there was a time when I moved away from the x-men I started working in a certain laboratory, there I developed an experimental serum that isolated the hormones of gene x
- Why do that
- Well there is a bit of everything, in a way I wanted those mutants who had undesirable physical characteristics for them to have the opportunity to go unnoticed without losing their mutation...a way of being normal again. The truth is that I only lied to myself covering my insecurities
Blake could understand the feeling of having to hide who you are, she always felt proud to be a faun, but when she entered beacon a part of her felt in great conflict every time she denied her nature.
- It turns out that the person he works for was not as good as he imagined- Hank sighed bitterly- all they wanted my research for was to create weapons, I let myself be deceived and almost created one of the potentially most dangerous biological agents, to my anger and desperation I took the serum thinking that it would help me escape… however, my miraculous serum did not turn out to be as beneficial as I imagined, in my arrogance I did not hide the physical characteristics that I wanted to hide on the contrary stimulate my gene x- beast stood up – becoming what you see now
- Me…
- Don't worry blake, you don't have to say anything, I am aware that it was my selfish acts that led me to be this- I observe his claws- a beast
- DO NOT SAY THAT!
-?
- We all make mistakes doctor, I myself am proof of it, for a long time I was just a coward, a coward in abandoning my parents, a coward in allowing myself to be manipulated by Adam, a coward in letting Adam submerge himself more and more and more in a spiral of self-destruction, a coward by leaving my friends when they needed me the most, I'm not saying that what he did was right, but he knew how to use that tragedy and get up, he didn't let the guilt consume him, he got up and managed to overcome her insecurities, I have seen all the positive impact for the equal rights that she has achieved. You have done great good in the world
- ... I thank you, blake, those words remind me because I like to instruct young people, people like you fill my heart with joy, it's true that over time I accepted this appearance, it was difficult and required time and effort, that's why I know that you can overcome what torments you blake
- W-what
- I can see the load you hide, the load you want to carry alone
- … is it so noticeable?
- It is. listen blake all trauma will always be difficult to overcome, difficult to understand and difficult to accept that we will carry the maybe for life
- ...me, sometimes I wonder if I really did enough for the fauns in remnant, maybe it wouldn't have changed what happened to the planet, but at least they would have died with their heads held high
- "Perhaps there is something more that we all could have done, but we have to let the guilt remind us, to do better next time" - Veronica Roth- In this world everything is unpredictable dear, you may blame yourself for not having done as much as you wished, but i'll tell you something blake. The future of each of us is invisible and it is up to us to make sure that when it is our present, it is one that we are proud to see.
- ... you're right- a strange impulse flooded blake- YOU'RE RIGHT! I will no longer sit by Discrimination and ignorance, I have been given an opportunity to show that fauns are people and deserve any right, and mutants too
- I'm glad to hear that, that's the mood, but let's start step by step
- Nope
- uh
- Doctor mccoy, before you and every deity on this planet, I swear that I will not rest until every mutant on this planet is recognized as ONE PERSON- blake climbed on the table leaving any sign of shame aside- I will not return to hide who I am, and if we manage to save remnant no! When we save remnant I will make sure that the fauns are accepted by the humans, even if it takes me a lifetime the fauns, the humans and the mutants will have equal rights
Beast did not expect such a drastic change… t-that's fine blake, why don't we start by reading a bit of Martin Luther King and his fight for human rights
- Yes doctor, reading today, tomorrow the world!
- …I think I have created a monster
- I'll make sure that we go to every social movement in favor of mutants… maybe also against racism in general, I know! Let's spend the rest of the day reading everything we can about how to combat these social problems and sharing personal experiences about it, Friday download all the didactic material on the subject, this will be a lot of fun!
- …a socially compromised monster…
snow angel and the hunter
Russia
For someone like Weiss the cold had never been a bother, she grew up in Atlas after all, the possible coldest city in Remnant, or maybe it was because of her family environment, certainly Weiss no matter how hard she tried she was unable to remember if any Sometimes she was able to feel warmth from her father, from her mother, although it was difficult, it was not impossible, with her brother she was never so close, however, that warmth was deep down there, it is true but not absent.
Then
Why was he unable to recall a single warm moment with his father?
Even the environment in which he was now was not indifferent to him, a gala, elegant dresses, people with so much money that they will surely never know hunger or the need to save, many of them were like his father, a businessman more interested in his position social than in people, all adorned with those false smiles, so hollow and hypocritical.
It caused her repudiation to think that once she was no different from those people, so false, so egotistical, she lamented the days in which she used to believe herself above others, just because her last name was known? What gave him such a right? It wasn't until she met ruby yang and blake that she knew what a true friendly smile looked like. Longing to be with someone, fully trusting someone, every day she breathed she was grateful for having left that world
Practically since Weiss was born she has had to follow a strict code of conduct, more so in the kind of event she was in, a high-end one, even her dress was of high quality, a light blue one perfectly suited to her body, making her look in fact a little older, added to her hair, she herself did not remember when was the last time she had dressed so well, she recognized that ironman had good taste, tony really was a well-off person, that's why it seemed so strange to her see their behavior
- Yelena how long- Tony stark probably the most talked about billionaire in the world, an avenger, and a womanizer- Alexandra, how is your sister? - he said while he was surrounded by several women
- Tony you never change
- You can bet not honey, they can always count on a fact, tony stark will always be available for such beautiful women
- Jiji tony you are quite a rascal
- When will you take me to milan as you promised me tony
- I thought you would take me to Italy for the weekend Tony
- Ladies, didn't I just say it? there is tony stark to spare- the women just smiled laughing
For his part Weiss had a nervous tic
- Men, they are all the same- I whisper irritated
- Hey Tony
- Yes dear
- Did you become a fan of minors? Why did you bring that little girl here? - said one of the women surrounding tony pointing to weiss
- Little girl- a small vein stood out on her forehead
- The press would not like that an avenger is seen with a minor tony
- Ladies offend me, first of all the young shnnee is a valuable and important resource who won this trip as part of her scholarship at the stark foundation this is a charity event after all, she is representing her class and second tony stark is only interested in legally responsible women
- Oh so she's a nerd
- One could say, Yes
Saying that Weiss was angry was the same as saying that the sun is hot, Tony noticed this and approached Weiss.
- You're done with "your little friends"
- Don't get mad, this is all part of the plan, remember?
- Noticeable
- It's called going unnoticed, we're under cover
- …I guess you are the expert
- Of course I am, I've seen all the James Bond movies
- whose?
- When this is over I'll make sure you watch more movies, it's not funny that you don't understand my references
Weiss sighed, earlier that day she was expecting some special training, perhaps something like her training with Winter…instead she was now at a private tycoon party not unlike the ones her father was throwing. Tony certainly seemed to be the least stoic avenger of the group, but I did not expect that contrast, the invincible iron man as one of the founders of the avengers called him has even been a leader, seeing him surrounded by women and openly flirting with them was not the image What do you expect from someone like him?
- Very well, your goal is approaching three o'clock. Do you think you can do this?
- I am a hunter- she answered without hesitation- this is nothing for me, if with this I earn your trust and they allow us to act more freely in this world then I will do it
- You speak very confidently, I like confidence, this type of thing is Natasha's specialty, I have faith that you will be up to the task
- I'm a schnee of course I will be
His words were firm, he wishes he could believe them at all, he looked at his target a fat, bald man in a magenta suit.
Aslan Timofeyev a leader of one of the darkest and most twisted factions of the Bratva. A twisted and cruel man, countless crimes were in his name, multiple international organizations had him in their sights. For months agents of shield have tracked it in search of an inflection point, tonight it would lead to one of the largest raids in association with the Russian police forces. Originally black widow would be part of this operation, but iron man decided to take care of this personally with weiss
What was the point of this? approve it? evaluate her psychologically?
Clearly this whole Avengers experiment was some kind of test to see how they would fare in this world. She trusted the abilities of her classmates, surely they faced tests of equal magnitude of risk
Weiss approached the burly Russian man trying to be as flirtatious as she could, aslan timofeiv was many things, a human even more repulsive than several Grimm and a criminal leader more dangerous than Roman torchwick. So powerful as to maintain a public profile under the failure of a philanthropist from the automotive business and even respected by various sectors with his false charities that hid his true face.
His role was simple, he had to distract Aslan, in his clothes he carried a special chip designed by Iron Man, Weiss just had to put it on the man's phone and he would send data to Shield. The operation was delicate. Aslan was a very careful man, his house was very well protected and he maintained a good public profile, he knew the secrets of many high-ranking politicians, so reaching him was very dangerous. The mere presence of iron man and his rivalry with the crimson dynamo could generate an international accident if he acted.
Weiss knew it, Tony was risking his neck to try to teach him a life lesson, his goal was a big shot, a very big one who had gotten away with it for a long time, even having protection from more clandestine sectors. He was a very difficult man to approach wherever he was seen.
that was true
However this man had a severe weakness
He was a tremendous fetishist for young women. A full blown pedophile
Just knowing that made Weiss tremendously disgusted, even more so knowing that the Russian had a preference for women with white hair, apparently he wanted very strongly to make a woman named Silver Sable "his".
Weiss came over with a drink.
- Hello, are you Aslan Timofeyev? – before such youthful beauty the Russian could not do anything but smile
- Oohhh of course I am, tell me beautiful lady, who are you?
- Weiss schnee at your service, I am a stark Enterprise woodcock
- From stark… I see, with what a woodcock? That's impressive, you look quite young
- I am, but I am also motivated, it is because of people like you that I have come to where I am
- really?
- That's how it is. You have been an inspiration to me. His achievements dwarf Mr. Stark's, that is, he's an avenger and all that, but you don't need armor to change the world.
- Are you someone very insightful miss schny? he's German?
The white hair almost gave a tic when she saw how her last name was mispronounced
- Y-yes it is. you are very assertive
- You know, this party was already boring me since Tony arrived, as he always monopolizes the spotlight, I didn't expect to find good company after that, but life is unpredictable I guess
- What do you propose?
- We could go somewhere else…more private. I am interested… in seeing what a Stark Scholar can propose… very interested, he said putting a hand on his shoulder, aslan was not a fool, he had to give a corporate image to the press- of course it was for business
- that's clear- despite his smile weiss was nothing to throw up at the touch of the man
- so let's go. follow me
- you guide - after this weiss summarizes that being an actor is one of the most undervalued professions
I accompany the man to his limousine outside the compound, the trip was tedious 10 minutes of the man inflating his ego with his stories and "achievements" every word that came out of the man was repulsive to Weiss his xenophobic and misogynistic comments only made it more difficult for him to maintain his silly smile. Although it was hard she admitted that cinder and her lackeys were better than she thought, pretending to like a person was harder than it seemed.
Unbeknownst to the hunter, a man was watching them very closely.
They arrived at a very large mansion, it was in fact a very similar size to his old home, although a more gloomy atmosphere, Weiss could count at least 30 men, the place was very well protected, he accompanied the Russian through a large corridor he could see as the lust grew in his eyes. really repulsive
- tell me do you like exotic animals?
- Well I wouldn't say I dislike them
- Accompany me. I always like to show this to the ladies
Weiss wondered what kind of thing could excite this man, his answer was as expected from such a simply unpleasant man. They went down through a basement until they reached a large chamber, he could notice on the walls different types of white and firearms hung as an exhibition, what aslan wanted to show him, however, was behind some large windows on each side of the walls. . There she could see something that left her speechless
Locked in cages, all kinds of creatures many of them were actually normal animals. Animals with special characteristics are worth mentioning and some in a not very beautiful state
A kind of tiger with two large fangs not rather one fang since the other one was broken in half
A crocodile that was in an inflatable pool with a hat with golden horns
White rhinos a pair, one of the few pairs of the species
And what broke the soul of the huntress. A Labrador retriever missing one of his ears and with an injury to his eye. His face showed deep sadness.
- you like? They are one of the rarest species that you can find on the planet, it is a very varied collection. I'm proud of her, some of these guys are endangered animals or animals that have been in the crossfire of super human battles.
- …What happened to the dog?
- Oh that one over there do you like it? He used to be the pet of a competitor of mine, his owner had an explosive fate hahaha the dog managed to survive as his only friend I welcomed him as part of my collection he is quite a survivor nicknamed him "fire dog" he was engulfed in flames, but his skin did not burn so I stayed with the phenomenon although I had to teach him hahaha
Weiss felt her blood boil. The man's laugh filled the area. What were they so funny? Why? Why did this man find it so funny?
Before he even knew it his fist was already in the man's face, Weiss has never been a violent person, he has always considered himself a person with a very good self-control, and yet he was hitting this man so hard that his hands were stained with blood. To her surprise, the Russian pushed her away.
Spitting blood and a pair of teeth, Aslan stood up to see a very angry Weiss.
- DAMN GULF! HOW DARE YOU PLACE A FINGER ON ME!
- How dare you do this to these poor creatures!
- they are nothing but beasts! They're like mutants! freaks!
- The only phenomenon here is you - sentenced with a noticeable frown
- Ha... little brat, you're strong I admit, but you're wrong if you think I'm alone, this place is full of cameras and microphones - you can go out now-
A man in a black suit and helmet with a skull design emerged from a secret door, carrying a large rifle. The most striking thing was his prosthetic legs.
- Little bitch I present to you skullbuster
- Hello and goodbye - with a quick movement almost as fast as ruby's, the mercenary shot directly at Weiss, the impulse was so strong that he managed to make the silver hair hit a wall... if it weren't for his aura, he would have a hole right now in his stomach – problem resulted
- Ark….that hurt- the hunter got up apparently without damage
- mutant? No matter
- What are you waiting for, kill her!
- I'm coming- he prepared his rifle, luckily for Weiss when he crashed he managed to drop some of the weapons on display including several sabers. I take one firmly and look seriously at his opponent.
The saber was old, maybe it wouldn't withstand many cuts, it wasn't myrtenaster, but it would have to be enough, Weiss knew that his movements had to be precise, he didn't have dust and his opponent had a superior weapon. He took a deep breath and braced himself.
The rifle was fired, for Weiss it was like watching the bullet in slow motion getting closer and closer to her, every muscle in her body coordinating and dodging the bullet. Skullbuster was impressed in a few fractions of a second shot again, the huntress approached, again the bullet grazed her flesh. A third bullet and a third time Weiss dodged it, she extended the saber and now she was facing her enemy
slash
The sound of metal being cut startled both men. The ancient saber managed to cut the modern rifle in half, such a feat was not only achieved by the edge of the weapon, no! If it weren't for not only Weiss's technique and for his strength increased by his aura, such a feat would be difficult to achieve.
Skullbuster kicked Weiss in the belly making her back, he pulled two good sized daggers from his sides and the blades of their weapons collided. Skullbuster did not expect the girl to be so physically strong
- You are good- the look in her eyes was not that of a normal young woman, it was that of an experienced fighter
- Thank you
- But not as much as me - he kicked her again from her blind spot forcing her back, it was then that he used his semblance, his glyphs allowed him to regain momentum and fight back- your boss likes exotic animals, let's see how he likes this one - from his glyph a lancer emerged attacking skullbuster
- What the hell- the creature attacked the mercenary impaling the man with its stinger- arhhhh!
- It's over- Weiss pointed the tip of the blade at his throat
- ... I give up ... I know when it's not worth continuing in a fight
- THAT! I'm paying you a fortune! How do you give up?
- You are not worth dying for
- Damn coward, I should have hired omega red and not a third-rate loser like you
- Hey I'm better than that mutant!
- Well, you don't look like it!
- This theater is over- Weiss raised his saber- give me your phone
- You think I'm scared of you, do you know in the hell who I am?
- One more criminal of the lot
- Do you really think that because I don't wear a tights suit or I'm not as extravagant as the new york kingping I'm not dangerous. Go ahead arrest me or whatever in 12 hours I'll be free and you'll have a bounty as high as everest on your neck almost enough to found a country
- Well, I'll wait for it with pleasure - without showing signs of fear the hunter stood firm
Before Weiss could react, he heard a shot and the room went black, the lights failed for just a moment when the light returned, Weiss was able to contemplate the new panorama, only a brief moment was needed to cover the room with the brilliant crimson color
Blood covered his body, staining his face and dress, Aslan's body fell lifeless to the ground, even Skullbuster was surprised. Weiss snapped out of shock and tightly gripped the saber she was carrying. He watched as a man walked at a slow pace, he was robust about 40 maybe black hair and a slight beard with a mustache, he was wearing a tight suit with a lion print and a vest with a large mane, he was carrying a shotgun with which he blew his head off. half of the face to the mobster.
- Who are you? Weiss asked very seriously, ready for another fight. This man was much more dangerous than the other mercenary
- They call me kraven the hunter. And I've come here to kill this man - he said pointing to the Russian - I have no interest in you girl
- are you a superhero?
- Hey girl, you're new to this, right? -the one who spoke was skullbuster even with his injured shoulder- kravinoff is far from being a hero
- So you're just another mercenary
- Do not compare kraven with this vulgar man, kravinoff is a hunter- that surprised Weiss - and you are not kravinoff's prey
- Because you killed?
- I'm sure you know what kind of man this pig was
- which gives you the right to kill him
- because I can
- with that thought you are not better than him
- Has Kravinoff killed innocent children in cold blood? Has my spear pierced the hearts of starving women? No!
- ...maybe you are not as twisted as him, but he deserved a trial, to be judged as the criminal he was
- for what purpose? I would buy the judges
- Perhaps. But you would know that you have done the right thing, a man cannot be judge, jury and executioner, he may be a monster, that is clear, but the real change happens when someone is able to see monsters like him and stand firm
- You're idealistic. Reminds me of my nemesis. However I maintain my position, you are not my prey - krave calmly walk to the crystals
- What are you planning?
- These animals don't belong here. Outside I have two armored vehicles, I will take them back to their natural habitats
- What makes you think I'll allow it?
- Do you know where these species come from?
- I can find out. mr stark may
- Do that, the Russian government will intervene and take control of the rarest species that is something that the arrogant stark could not prevent
- But
- But nothing. Get out of Kravinoff's way and you won't get hurt.
- I can say that
"Silly girl," Kraven touched something on his belt and Weiss could feel himself losing his balance. The hunter placed a small black box on the ground
- What is that! - I put his hands to his ears
- This device was modified by a mercenary named clawk, it emits a frequency that affects the inner ear, the one responsible for balance, don't bother if you try to do something you will only vomit. The frequency will disappear in an hour, I'm sure stark will take much less, maybe 15 minutes. Iron man will not take so long to get to this place after that, by then he opens me gone- kraven broke the windows freeing the animals
A group of men with black helmets entered and took the animals, Weiss was angry, her first mission... and it was a failure, Kraven would leave with the animals and she couldn't do anything
- By the way, were you looking for this? - The hunter brought him a phone - it belonged to that man
- w-why?
- Kraven had a mission and has fulfilled it. You have yours to fulfill, right?
-…
- The next time you and kraven meet, it will surely not be on good terms. So I will give you some advice, this world is cruel, it is unfair and you will find that many times no matter how hard you try, things will not turn out as expected. However, a hunter must persevere, each test, each setback is just a new lesson, in the end only you will determine what is a defeat and what is a victory.
With those words Kraven left. Leaving Weiss alone with Skullbuster in the same way, the Kraven device affected him. With effort, Weiss placed the chip in the phone and dialed for help. Kraven's estimate was correct, it didn't take long for Iron Man to appear surrounded by Russian agents. Finding Weiss and the body of the dead Russian.
- kiddo- stark destroyed the device - What happened? are you okay?
- You shouldn't- I manage to get up- be here wearing that
- That doesn't matter now. What happened?
- A man, he said his name was kraven appeared and shot him
- Kraven the Hunter
- I guess he's famous
- Weiss I'm glad you're okay. I'm sorry about this. I should have been more careful
- …don't do it, I failed, have
- The phone. you made it
- Well kraven only came to rescue the animals that were in captivity
- ... I see ... well done
- Why do you congratulate me? I failed
- You accomplished your mission. Kraven's appearance was unexpected for everyone
- Still he's dead. And I couldn't save him
- In this job you will not always be able to save them all. You know that, right?
- …I…is it so bad to want things to go well?…I just wanted a victory. After all that has happened
- Sometimes you won't be able to win weiss. It will even be unfair and you will feel that the world is against you- memory of days of dark reigns came to the mind of iron man- in this job and in the hunter job so you can not afford to let this fall apart. This weiss- I point to the corpse- will be what you will have to deal with, is it hard? It is, many times you will fail and you will have to carry that and then one day you will improve and rise as the best version of you.
- do you seriously believe it?
- If it weren't for kraven the result would be different
A figure slowly approached Weiss, Iron Man was surprised to see how a mutilated dog approached the girl and began to lick her. The dog's look was as if he thanked the silver hair
- It seems you have a fan
- dog of fire?
- Woof- the dog licked Weiss's face leaving her drooling
- Pff hahaha - weiss hugged the dog - enough fire dog
- I guess that's his name
- …That was the one they gave him
- I wonder why?
Suddenly moving away a bit of weiss the fire dog caught fire to the surprise of both
- wow!
-... I guess that's why - to his relief the flames went out
- …on earth there is a legend, they say that a mythical bird called a phoenix can be reborn from its ashes, maybe this boy's case?
- Yes... you're right... Maybe I'm not the only one in that case
- Let's go. let's go home
- What about him? - He said pointing to the mercenary
- The Russian police will take care of him. I'm already getting into a lot of trouble wearing my suit, let's leave the rest to the proper authorities in Russia
- Okay- still carrying fire dog he left with iron man
This world is not like Remnant, it's dangerous and wild, but also kind and nice- Weiss remembered because she became a hunter.
To protect the innocent. And in this new world she would fulfill
The Maiden and the Invader
Above the skies of New York two figures flew above her, one of them female, her reddish hair adorned with a pink bow, the other a human-shaped flare.
Penny polendina the former protector of mantle and the current maiden of winter at her side a silent man flew in flames
Jimm hammon better known as the human torch, a synthezoid, the first of them, even an old model like him was much more human in appearance than herself, at first glance a blond Caucasian man of average height a little taller than qrow Ruby's guy, a red suit with a flame logo on his chest, Penny was curious about him and so she just followed the war veteran silently, until they reached the top of an old building.
From where they were they could clearly see the city bridge at a good angle, it was rare to see so many people so…calm, it was so similar to when I walked through the city of vale for the first time, the day she met ruby and her team . It was nostalgic in a way.
- Mm mr hammond is not it?
- You can call me Jim the gentleman is others
- S-Jim can I ask what are we doing here?
- I want to tell you a story, this place seemed appropriate to start. Just like me, you are a machine, aren't you?
- Well I like to consider myself more complex than that, but if
- What is it's name
- Sorry
- Your father, what's his name?
Penny appreciated that Jim referred to her father as such and not as "creator" – Pietro Polendida
- Peter. Pietro Polendina the best man I know
- he loves you?
- Absolutely
- That's good, not all of us can have that luck unfortunately
- Perhaps you
-Horton. Phinias thomas Horton that was his name, possibly the best scientist of his time…he…was my father- jim nostalgically observed the city- his discoveries far surpassed those of his contemporaries, years ahead of his time, with an enormous knowledge of the synthetic materials together with a wide knowledge of the human mind would lead him to develop theories beyond those of his colleagues
Penny listened attentively to the man's story.
- It was the envy and the rarity of the scientific community. For him science was the way to realize his goal, to discover the deepest mysteries of creation. Enduring skepticism and ridicule for the realization of his goals. The result of his life's work would culminate in
- In you
- Yes... I don't remember perfectly, but in my first moment of consciousness something happened... unpredictable. Due to a defect in my original conception, my body had an incendiary reaction to contact with the air, despite them I did not suffer any damage, Horton cut the effect deactivating me, the first to see me were horrified
- that!
- It was at a science expo, can you believe it, welcome gentlemen! He said with a smile adorning his face, So he began his exposition with encouragement and high confidence, the reporters did not really listen to him, they believed that his speech was cheap talk, worried about their affairs such as the situation in Europe, real news they thought, until He said "I'll let some oxygen into the chamber" there I was in a glass box…inert. He was proud he spoke loud and firm "you see why I call it the human torch!" And I was aware, I heard a woman shout "my god", almost immediately my father noticed the look of the reporters, you didn't need to be a genius to know what they thought, his faces reflected it very well,
-…
- Horton was like Prometheus. He stole fire from heaven and gave it to men in the form of a human torch, however… they were not ready for that gift, horton was humiliated, discredited and discredited, the press ate him alive, they called me a threat, pressured due to public pressure my father locked me up
- That's horrible! - For someone like Penny who since she was conscious, not even before since her conception received love and support from her father, imagining something like that was almost unreal
- My father locked me buried underground, in a strange place, made entirely of stone... far from oxygen... far from people- the flames enveloped his body- come with me
They took flight again, it didn't take them long to get to the place where Jim wanted to go, an abandoned building, there was nothing to highlight, it was another common area of the city
- Some hoped that my prison would be eternal, that it would be forgotten as an urban legend, despite my confinement my father did not forget me, he prepared a way to educate me confined in my concrete prison with the hope of curing or controlling my strange condition I spent all that time…that seemed like years…alone…in a state I couldn't call life. I learned names of objects and things that I might never see, touch or smell and without a frame of reference it was almost impossible at first. I learned a lot about the world, even more about the pain of forced loneliness, I was aware of everything and understood nothing.
Penny could only listen intently to the man's narration.
- I could hardly understand what had happened to me in my short life, I was ripped from my original womb and thrown into a world where every noise equaled a scream, I came out of the darkness into a lighted world as I became aware of countless sensations, every part I discovered something new about myself…and all…all disappeared and I fell again…into darkness and silence
Penny had a mixture of emotions, just thinking that something like that had happened to her…it was overwhelming.
- Why did Horton allow this torment? was it so easy to throw me away? Was it possible that while I considered him my father, he didn't consider me his son?
Since she was "born", the redhead received the most absolute love from the one she considered her father. Her eyes always saw her as her daughter. How could a father abandon her son?
- I knew the air that I once tasted, I wanted to taste it forever, but more than anything I wanted to be with him. Being a part of his world, but I guess he wasn't. Locked in my prison my mind developed, I learned about the beauty and value of humanity, life and freedom earned my respect, since I did not possess any of them...
- Mr. Jim - Penny approached him, Jim knelt down putting one of his hands on the grass
- At the same time I became aware of myself as an individual, was it right to give me life just to wax eternally? was that fair? maybe that's why the cap called me to talk to you, we were both the first in our respective worlds
- the first?
- The first of our kind. At that time I constantly asked myself why this happened to me. Why was I given so much knowledge, if it would be denied to me?
Penny watched every word every gesture very carefully, little by little Jim advanced to an old vacant lot, every word was so painful for her
- And one day something happened, salvation, I don't know what caused it, a small break in my prison, it didn't take long to recognize it, the breeze. And a cataclysmic explosion of light and sound enveloped me. I was free! Like the day I was born I shouted in joy. To feel the heat that animated my body
Penny understood, this place, this common area, so far from the center of the city, this is where she emerged from, this was her prison.
- Then my father appeared, I saw his face, and then... I ran, afraid that the world would deny me once again, that it would catch me again, I ran blindly at night, and then for the second time I experienced the fear that my threatening appearance could generate in the people Since then I have learned to control my condition, I came to mean something different for the society to which I now belonged, it did not take me long to find out that there were others like me "wonders" they called us but...
-…
- But that day of my freedom, in that summer of 1939, the world had its first contact with the fantastic, without knowing it, I opened the way to the golden age of miracles and in the years to come the world would know the presence of the strange and the supernatural as part of reality
- ... Mr. Hammond I ...
- Accompany me
Again they both flew in silence. It was a lot to process for Penny, just imagining what would have happened if the High Command had not been satisfied with her, if General Ironwood had not successfully reflected her expectations, would they have discarded her? Would her father have faced the army if he had? Or she would have been just another defective robot.
They went back to the bridge, this time going up to the
- Those days things were not as they are now. Those days were difficult, when I flew for the first time I felt so free, I believed that at any moment I would wake up and everything would be just a dream... that I would still be trapped in the dark
- I can't… even imagine how it could have been for you
- It was hard, no matter what I did, how well I acted, when people understood that I was real, that it was not a rumor or a trick, there was not a day that I was not judged for what I was, I remember an occasion, I walked into a cafeteria, I just wanted to eat a little, I didn't need it, my body was able to support me without such a need, but I found it…relaxing. I didn't realize at first, the place was popular with reporters at the time, they said a lot about me, that I should be locked up. I left furious. Why did they want so badly to deny me my freedom? I… I was just waiting for a change
-….changed something….
- It did, little by little others like me were emerging, but it was probably in that spring of '40 that the world truly understood the change
- What change?
- I met Namor, the submariner. He was the prince of the mythical city of Atlantis, he declared war on the world, at that time I did not know it, but Namor did what he did on behalf of his people, in what he thought was the best for them, he was furious about the pollution of the seas. Unexpectedly people put their faith in me, in the monster on fire, the police themselves came to me, I couldn't deny myself... I couldn't, it was an opportunity to show that I wasn't a monster and then
- Then
- We fought, it was the first time that two like us dueled, "the battle of the century" fire vs water, throughout the city our fight spread, the cries of the innocent flooded the streets, I don't know for how long time we fought, our fight spread to many places, the holland tunnel, throughout the zoo, even here on the george washington bridge, it wasn't until we got to the statue of liberty…that our fight ended
- What happened
- Namor managed to beat me, he managed to put out my flames and throw me into the water, I took refuge later to avoid it, to recover myself, Namor for his part went to a radio and gave me an ultimatum, not to mess with him or I would pay dearly
- That Namor sounds like a villain
- Things are sometimes more complicated than that my young friend- Jim pondered for a moment- our second confrontation did not take long to wait, surely we were the sensation of the radio that day, I was willing to end Namor once and for all lured a chemical plant
- you won?
- No, but I didn't lose either.
- What does it refer to?
- Understanding, there was a woman, a friend of Namor, she helped us to understand the senselessness of our fight... at least on that occasion, we shook hands, we smiled at each other in mutual agreement and for a while I was In peace, people or at least a part of them no longer looked at me as a monster, I was the hero who fought against the submariner, some reproached me for letting Namor go, but they downplayed it, I was finally free from the harassment of the press... until the war escalated
- War?
- World War II was the greatest of wars, it was the worst of wars
Penny had already read about the conflict, a war event that made the great remnant war a bad joke. A war for the racial supremacy of an extremist group that slaughtered millions in the name of its ideology, a war that devastated a continent, women, men, children, historians do not agree on how many people died, between 40 and 50 million of deaths according to the closest estimates, more than half of them were civilians, double or triple the number of wounded and another 50 million forcibly displaced or deported.
- When the war became a real problem, I went, the shockthat I witnessed the first time I was on a battlefield... it was horrible, all I saw was one thing
- What thing?
- Death...
penny dry swallow
- Not everything was bad, I knew a young man like me, a mutant Thomas Raymond "bull" had the ability to combust, war was cruel and his heart was noble, I took him as a protégé, I saw myself reflected in him and he in me. We were second to none, then we met him
- To him- penny cocked her head
- to the cap
Penny blinked confused, was there more than one captain america? I could understand that given his nature Jim could have lived since the 30s, but it was impossible for a normal man to live that long, right?
- Steve Rogers was…is, sensational- so if she was referring to the steve Rogers that she knew, or was it a case of father and sons sharing the name? – It was so...inspiring, nobody said it out loud, but we all knew it until Namor, Steve Rogers was our leader, our inspiration, when he looked at me he didn't see a phenomenon, his eyes didn't run away from me, they accepted me, in the battlefield did not question his orders, it was something indescribable…in the last days of the war, he saved the world, gave his life for the freedom of all…when we lost him we were devastated
So the other Steve Rogers died? That made sense maybe if they were father and son after all
- His sacrifice was not in vain, the Nazi regime fell under its own weight, we slowly returned to our lives with our problems. Honoring that man's sacrifice, not long after I fought Namor again
- That because?
- Namor is one of those people who one day can be watching your back and the next he will punch you, our fight was more intense, the lives of innocents were at stake. On that occasion we almost killed each other
The wind only strong, the maiden of winter remained silent
- Our fight did not grow bigger that time, I knew of a reporter who lost an eye in the initial shock, I tried to contact him but I assumed that it would only make things worse, I did not know it at the time, but our golden age was about to end, my fight against crime resumed after the war with "bull" as my partner, things seemed to be going in the right direction, my father's on the other hand
- Dr horton did not try to contact him
- No. He was discredited, despite my success the scientific guild never restored him, maybe it was anger or the desire to improve, I don't know, I just know that my father continued his research and created ADAM II an improved synthezoid
- A brother
- I would have liked to see him like this, unlike my adam 2 he did not consider human life valuable, he considered himself superior, and as a superior being, why should he obey an inferior one? He rebelled against our father and unleashed chaos, his "revolution" did not last long, he had already seen too much death in war to let Adam do his thing ... and in the end I became the executioner of my "brother" the little reputation that my father still kept was permanently tainted and escaped, hiding from the public eye and the law.
- …What happened to your father?
- …he was assassinated. Ironically, he was burned alive, a much more advanced and much more evil machine than Adam killed him.
- …I'm sorry…
- You don't have to, I forgive my father a long time ago, in the end I like to believe that something about him did see me as a son, it may sound silly, but that's what I think
- It's not silly - Penny put her hand to her heart - I know what it's like to feel the love of a father
- Then I envy you penny, like my father I "died" and with me the golden age of wonders
- he died!?
- A bomb, just like Steve sacrificed my body for a greater good, the bomb didn't kill me. The radiation took care of that, in my last days I reflected on my life. I was scared, very scared in fact, I thought of everything I've done over a little over 10 years, my achievements and failures, my adventures, those I loved and hated, and I was scared, but I was also proud of what I achieved. It was in 53 when I closed my eyes thinking that I would never open them again. I took one last breath and then… I went back into the darkness and my flame went out.
- But you are here and now…unless you are a ghost!
- I don't think we synthezoids can be penny ghosts. I was reactivated, repaired, the circumstances are a bit complex, however when I woke up again I found myself in a world where wonders were now part of society at a level I did not imagine, the other torch
- Johnny Storm
- Yes, he and the rest of the fantastic were already active at that time, I felt flattered that the young storm took my name as a reference to his, just like bull in his time his name was, the name was appropriate for the given his likeness
- Didn't you feel copied?
- I felt honored
- …you have been through a lot, I wonder if I will go through so much or if I will live so long, sometimes it is as if the universe does not want me to exist
- Then show the universe that it is wrong- jim turned around looking into her eyes – I see a lot of potential in you penny
- does it? Because I myself don't even know where I'm standing
- That's normal, penny, I don't know for what purpose you were created, but you are more than that, more than a programming or a mission or a title, what I and the avengers do is dangerous, I have seen friends and enemies fall and be forgotten or honored, no one will force any of you to follow this path
- I... ever since I became aware of myself, ever since I knew I was Penny, I've only wanted to do one thing, save and protect people, not because of a mission, not because of the wishes of my "bosses" but because It is the right thing to do, I had to protect Remnant, I wanted to do it… and I failed, I have been given a power that was destined for that, this world The Earth is not perfect, I know that, but it has given us shelter, it gave us a hand, and that's why I want to protect him
- That's fine, I don't know much about magic- Jim lit his hand- but I know a lot about control and that's what you need now young lady
- control?
- Clearly you must understand this new power that you possess and I promise to help you as much as possible
- really!
- Yes. I give you my word
- sensational! – Penny hugged the man tightly - this is a great day!
- N-they weren't kidding when they said you were strong, let's start with learning to moderate that strength
- I am sorry
- Nothing happens
- This is very sensational!
- Certainly
Both then took flight with a renewed spirit.
Little Red Riding Hood and Jupiter's Big Bad Wolf Part 2
Ruby's senses sharpened and she barely managed to dodge the claw of the werewolf in front of her. She somehow reminded Ruby of the time a group of strange red-fanged beowolves attacked her.
- what happened to it?
-RRARG-
Without her weapon, Ruby could only dodge the albino werewolf's deadly attacks, Jameson moved like a wild beast trying at all costs to tear the dark-haired woman's flesh without success, he howled in anger
- "Hell, I'm not that good in hand-to-hand combat and I doubt that this guy will be as easy as Oscar, even with my aura, I'm sure it will be bad if he hits me, this is complicated, I have to get a weapon"
- RROOOORR
Ruby continued to dodge thanks to the mobility that her semblance allowed her. In a space so closed she was the only thing she could do
- hya- dodging her ruby claws again, I attack with a punch - this is not good her skin is very thick
- grrrr
- At least I've kept him away from the rest of the crew. But I am far from doing anything useful against him.
The wolf began to act calmer despite the fact that his gaze reflected the great violence emanating from the beast, he summarized that the prey in front of him was more elusive than it seemed at first glance.
- huh huh please desist from this - begged ruby- I don't know what is happening, but it is clear that he is not in his right mind sir
Before continuing the wolf began to squirm to ruby's astonishment
- h-run away- he said barely audible- run away
- I will not do it! Something is happening to you and I am not going to leave you or the rest- I speak without fear
From one moment to another the structure stopped, ruby soon understood that it was the shuttle touching down which meant that hyperion had made it, the werewolf took advantage of the distraction and launched himself against an unsuspecting rubu
-eh -
The wolf's claws were inches from grazing the flesh.
-bottom- hyperion hit the werewolf breaking part of his jaw in the process surprising ruby - i guess you are responsible for the failure now you will see villain
- wait! He is a person
- that? what are you talking about ruby
Hyperion could then see how the fur gradually began to fall, revealing the true appearance of the strange werewolf.
- I know this man is Captain Jameson
- Is it really the captain of the ship?
- Yes, although it is the first time I see him in person, I am sure it is the same man
- What could have happened to him?
Hyperion with his enhanced vision scanning jameson's cells
- I can see traces of a strange spore in their cells, they seem to be responsible for this strange lycanthropic form
- wait you can see that
- this is one of my powers
- How many powers do you have?
- Many
- That's so cool and unfair- Ruby commented- What will we do with him?
- I will inform SHIELD about this, it is probable that the coast guard is already on its way, try to leave the shuttle near a military base, for now I will immobilize it for its good and ours, you can help me by checking the status of the other members of the crew, but be careful we don't know if what caused this can still infect others
- to the order
A good hunter knows that despite his great skills it was always possible to improve, it was always essential to be better than the day before, maybe he wasn't a grimm, but after a long time ruby understood his state
It was rusty. It was time to move on, she was Ruby Rose, leader of the RWBY team, a professional hunter, in recent months things had not gone well for her, tragedy after tragedy. It was time for things to change, it was time to up her game and in this dangerous and unknown land she would.
Hyperion looked at Ruby seriously only to smile at the renewed spirit of the young woman. Even she had a long way to go of her yet it was inspiring to see her.
Goldilocks and the 3 evil monkeys part 2
After the whole red ghost spider-man thing, he took yang to an unusual place.
An old abandoned warehouse near the docks
-What are we doing in this place? - asked curious yang even with the torn mask on her face
- in that place not many people usually come, it used to be the lair of some alien technology thieves led by the vulture
- you like to use animal names as your aliases
I'll ignore that comment
- well you still don't tell me what we do here exactly
- I brought you because it's a good place to give a point
- What do you mean?
- when we were fighting there was a moment when you put on hulk mode
hulk mode? Oh you talk when that stupid monkey ripped out part of my hair
- you really like your hair a lot
- more than you think- she said very seriously
- mmm ok, but the point is that no matter how important it is you can't react the way you did
- If you insinuate that I don't know how to measure my strength, that's unfair, I know perfectly well how to measure my blows
- But what will happen in the event that a villain pulls your hair out on purpose?
- I will break every tooth you have- the vindictive tone showed that he was serious
- in remnant you could give yourself that luxury, here no longer yang
- what are you talking about
- I don't doubt that you are inexperienced or careless, but from experience I know that when one is so used to a fighting mode, changing it is very complicated, you are used to measuring your blows against other people with aura or against robots, but sometimes Have you faced common criminals who really want to fight?
- I've already done it... well not so common now that I think about it... but I'm sure I can contain myself when the time comes
yang watch this
Spider-man walked seriously towards the old car body, it did not have its tires and they had stolen some minor things like the mirrors but the engine and seats were still there, spider-man extended his leg as if he was going to kick a football football.
From one moment to another the car was smashed to pieces the kick imposed by the spider-man was so strong that he started the engine and threw it as if it were paper
Yang had already seen the arachnid's abilities in action, he could see that it was strong, however, he did not estimate that it was that strong, even with emeber celica she could not give a blow of that power in such a casual way
- people even super people are fragile yang, here there is no aura that heals minor injuries or that can recover from severe damage- the tone of the spider-man was very serious- when you hurt someone that wound will not be temporary even criminals with Powers will get a visit to the hospital if you hit them the same way you hit that gorilla.
- y.i did not know that you were so strong
- I am, look yang I know very well what it means to be carried away by anger and euphoria, to attack someone with the intention of killing him, believe me I know and that is why I am showing you this. The rules you used to play with are no longer valid and you will have to adapt your game to new rules
Yang thought for a few seconds.
- I see, spider-man from what I see you are a deeper subject than I thought at first, your words have really reached me, I will take your advice man, it is true that there is still much that I do not know about this world, including the how to fight in this lathe, but I promise you no! I swear that my hands will not be stained with the blood of the innocent
- Well, you don't lack determination.
- Although it is difficult to admit, it is clear that I must improve my game, the fight with the red ghost has shown me that there are still enemies for which I am not prepared, if it were not for you I would surely have lost
- good that good I have a gift for you to help you with that
- eh gift
From the hand of spider-man a briefcase grew from one moment to another
- how did you do that?
- pym particles - he replied- before you ask is what gives them their powers the wasp
- I see, I think I've heard a bit about that, but seeing it in an object is quite a thing -he said with a curious smile
- you see this was partly a test
- Test
-to know if they were ready to return to the fight and that, I don't think I'm the best to judge that kind of thing, but I see that you are very dissident to leave you in the bank
-thanks man
Spider-man opened the briefcase- Tony wanted to do it but Reed beat him to it, something to make sure he gave something safe to his new friend- spider-man held a new arm for yang of the latest technology
Yang's eyes widened in shock.
- I also recreate this - attached to the new arm yang recognized that more was coming
-ember celica!
- it was not difficult for tony and reed to rebuild it, your instructions were very clear on that subject
Little tears formed in yang
- thanks- yang hug the arachnid
- I'm just the messenger the real deserving of that gift is reed
-both deserve it
-ha if you insist
- you know I think this is the beginning of a great friendship
- I think the same spider-hair
- You call me that way again and I'll know who to brand new arms with- she said with a tone that although it was cheerful you could notice the violence behind her
- we still need to work on your sense of humor
They both continued for a while longer before Spider-Man helped her put on her new arm.
with blake
Faun girl was amazed to see her prized weapon reconstructed
- I hope that the specifications that Tony sent me are correct
-What
- if someone knows about weapons, it's tony stark, even if it's just a small splinter, he will be able to see the way to recreate it
- the blade is like new
- I hope better, I couldn't recreate the alloy it was made of, however this one here is made of vibranium, it was forged with the help of my friends forge and sun fire
- wow... I don't know how to thank - to say that blake was happy was an understatement
- no need for friends, we are here to support each other, besides, sunfire thought it was fun to forge it, it reminded her of her homeland, she joked that you were a ninja
That tense blake
- ...in, in this world there are ninjas?
- huh? Well if there are I guess, The Hand is actually a ninja organization and I think Daredevil would count as one.
- NINJAS ARE REAL!
-Wow I guess you're a fan of ninjas
-Hurrah! - Blake's eyes were like exploding stars
-...very fan...
with weiss
She and tony were flying back on a private jet with a fire dog in their arms, she was not expecting the gift that tony was giving her
Your precious myrtenaster
- it's made of an alloy like the ones in my armors don't worry about the dust chambers, it can't exactly replicate the exact properties of your bullets it was difficult but with some help I managed to recreate for all of you special non-lethal bullets for the use of their skills and on another occasion I will detail the process
- I do not know what to say
- you don't need to say anything it's a gift you just have to promise me one thing
- what thing?
- that you will use it for good- I declare- I am entrusting you with this weapon because I think it is in good hands
Weiss held the new myrtenaster
- I will do it! - I speak with a renewed spirit
- Well said
with Ruby
Ruby didn't understand what this meant.
- It's... the pieces of Crescent Rose
In the briefcase that hyperion gave him were each of the pieces of what was once cresent rose from the largest to the smallest all were there
- Tony-
- wow...- Ruby pounced on the pieces
- Tony told me to give it to you if you were ready, he said that someone like you or him would feel offended if someone else touches their babies - the man of tomorrow explained with a smile - he said you had free rein in his armory to rebuild it
- This is- tears escaped from his eyes - thank you! - Without further ado I hug him tightly
- I think that's for tony more than for me
- both deserve it -
Ruby was determined to forge a new grow rose that would surpass the old one. Never again would her scythe be broken.
The RWBY team and Penny finally took the first step for their growth and recovery in this world.
So how is the JNPR team doing for Oscar and Winter?
to be continue.
