--- Next Morning ---Waking up early in the morning, with the sun just peeking through the horizon, he starts his work-out and morning routine of checking updates on the progress of his: company, projects, researches, clones activities, and future schedule.
Now finished with the business of both SHIELD and Kamar Taj regarding the stones, John now just has to wait 2 more years to obtain the rest, once he acquires that guy"s specific ability.
He fears that the guy he is targetting may be the first of his kind... now knowing Yao"s knowledge of them, reincarnators/transmigrator this guy is included in Marvel Comics (Earth-616) canon, and if he helps him, the guy just might upgrade his status to become a "Returnee".
『John』(Well, thinking about it now doesn"t help me anyways as I"m a "Face-the-issue-when-the-time-comes guy"-...)
『Augur』(You mean a "Procrastinator", sir...) interrupting his thoughts
『John』(INHALES Siiiiiighhhhhh... EXHALES) showing an x marked vein on his forehead.
『John』(If you are that annoying already with just a few upgrades, I don"t even know what to expect once you go through more...)
『Augur』(...)
Finishing his breakfast with the fam, checking the time in his system interface, it"s about time he collects the s.p.a.ce-stone from SHIELD as his clone already managed to acquire the Time-stone last night, and hopefully meets the guy he is planning to poach next from his Uncle"s ranks.
DING! DONG!
『Sebas』"You"re ride is here young master." coming back to the dining hall after answering the door.
『John』"Alright mom, dad, I"ll be hanging out at Uncle Nick"s crib for a couple of days. Though if I get bored quickly I"ll just leave a clone instead."
『John』(Which I bet I"ll do anyways.)
『Augur』(...) already calculating methods on how to make his host avoid pa.s.sing responsibilities to his clones.
『Mom』"Why not just do that?" questions with one eyebrow raised.
『John』"I still want to experience the moment mom. Instead of just reliving a memory."
『John』" Bye bro, be back in a few!" wiping his mouth with a napkin, standing up, hugging his parents, and giving a kiss on his brother"s forehead.
『Mom』"Bye! Don"t forget to come home later for dinner, and don"t try sending one of your clones... I notice the difference or I"ll beat yo a.s.s once you come back home! Are we clear?"
『John』" CRYSTAL!" with cold sweat forming on his back at the thought.
『Steine』" I wanna go with!!" yells as he can"t play with his brother for a few days.
『John』"You can"t, you"re still too small... Besides, you"ll still see me through the meals.. But if I hear from mom, dad, and Sebas that you behave well and made new friends I"ll give you a gift after." ruffling his brother"s hair before leaving.
Getting in the car sent by SHIELD, he went meditating (inside mind palace) to pa.s.s the time productively as he knows it will take a while to reach Project PEGASUS facility where the Tesseract is contained.
『John』(Augur what is the status on the search regarding the island?)
『Augur』(Clone Percy have covered 50% of the Pacific sir before the upgrade. Now equipped with [Life Vision] from the [Life Force], he has managed to bypa.s.s the islands cloaking defense.)
『John』(Right on time! I will head there myself after I finish my work with SHIELD, tell him to move on to the next objective ATLANTIS!)
『Augur』(Quest Issued!)
『John』(Alright, now that we have its location. What"s the status on BREAK"s building capabilities?)
『Augur』(With the tech"s gained from Nimrod"s memory bank, the company is able to produce a better construction machine, and types of equipment that made building a Colosseum of Rome for example finished within 1 month.)
『John』(Dayumn that"s fast!)
『Augur』(That"s just the items we are able to reproduce with the current technology available sir...)
『John』(Motherf.u.c.ka!)*SLJ meme*
『John』(Welp, good job! Tell the clones, Jason and d.i.c.k, it is about time to start-up a Wayne Ent. Security Agency that provides training for Security guards for any public facility such as malls, banks, parks, etc... anything you can think of in preparation for the invasion.)
『Augur』(Quest Issued!)
Not underestimating the gains from Nimrod"s black box anymore, he went and checked the Cyber-network plan he has for the A.I. project back in HQ getting another shock as it is already reached its final phase.
--- Cyber-Network Plan ---
PET (Personal Terminal) - FINISHED = already on the manufacturing line.
Transer (Bracer shaped) - FINISHED = already on the manufacturing line.
Has two types equipped with UMF materials within such as the AC (a.s.sault Cuira.s.s) for heroes complete with basic fighting utilities and CG (Crimson Guard) for protecting those who are currently quirkless such as his family, Ned, Gwen, and the rest of the staffs.
Rathnians - citizen name of the «Underworld Project» AIs
Skyforge Online (SFO) - The final step in ascension to «Above-world»(real-world) where the Rathnians becomes an immortal with incredible celestial powers who must protect the planet Aelion from invaders who threaten the world and its population.
Where they will be trained in galactic warfares, and tactic with not just technology but with also their applications on their powers in war.
NetNavi - Rathnians that grew up from «Underworld Project» that will be staying on the net who didn"t go through the Ascension process. [A/N: Updated Chapter 10]
Navi - Rathnians will be sold publicly, though it will be through a compatibility test.
AutoNavi - Navi"s that pa.s.sed the Ascension but don"t want to be in the real world
--- End ---
He went with the Skyforge instead of the Star-wars idea as it was one of the games he used to play it for a while but then moved on to another game when he didn"t understand the follower mechanics.
It was suggested by Augur when he was skimming on games to be released from the Library of his previous life such as Cabal, Terra, RAN, Ragnarok, Grandchase, etc... [A/N: courtesy of "Comicfanboy"]
As Skyforge fitted the criteria much better regarding Galactic wars, Superpowers and Empire stuff that greatly fits his needs regarding what John expects of his army.
Who apparently is still shocked at how he now knew he was still underestimating future technological advancements of the Aliens and Earth from Nimrod"s timeline.
What broke his musings was when Augur reminded him that they reached his destination, Project PEGASUS Facility that will be wrecked from the Tesseract in a few years. Getting off the car, he was greeted by THE man he was thinking of poaching from his Uncle.
『Agent』"Good Morning Mr. Wayne. The Director has been expecting you."
『John』"Ahh, no need for formalities. Mr. Wayne is my father, just call me John if you will Agent Coulson." giving the man a hug surprising him from his actions, making him tense as he thought he was compromised.
『John』"Don"t be so tense man! My uncle mentioned you quite a lot, heard you got them Captain America trading cards, nearly minted to BOOT! Can I take a peek?"
Relaxing his tensed nerves, he was speechless to know that Director Fury has such a deep relationship with one of the top conglomerates in the globe the Wayne Enterprise. Though he got distracted at the mention of one of his collections.
『Phil』"Oh, I see... Then you can just call me Phil too, I might show it to you after your research on the "stuff". Did uhh-.. did your uncle mention anything more about me?"
『John』"Haha, nothing much except for your hobbies. Don"t worry we got two days to get to know each other I bet he a.s.signed you to watch me, aaaaand as I can guess from the look on your face that Uncle Nicky didn"t mention our relationship. Am I right?"
『Phil』"In my defense.. I"m guessing, I might not have enough clearance to read the file regarding the matter."
Feeling a little bit down as he still doesn"t know much about the man, after all, they"ve been through.
『John』"True, he does that. He"s a spy, Agent, he is THE SPY greater than 007 where his secrets HAVE secrets."
Grinning ear to ear as he managed to pull out Tony"s line with a couple of tweaks and comfort Coulson a little bit.
Upon which John managed to change the topic back to Coulson"s collection, where he got very talkative at founding someone willing to listen about the stories behind each item with John reacting smartly at each pause with a: nod, "ooh", "Woah", and such.
『Nick』"I see both of you are getting along just fine. Now Markly, play nice and behave for two days ok! Coulson here is my ONE GOOD EYE, so he will be with you for the duration as I still have stuff to do. Am I understood MARKLY?"
Enunciating his nephew"s first name noticing from his file on him that he always suggests people call him by the second name, guessing he can annoy his nephew with it.
Now seeing it work he can"t help but show a grin thinking he one-upped his nephew this time, little did he know... his prized power source will be switched with a counterfeit.
『John』"Crystal clear, uncle! Guess should get started on it then!"
With a little vein showing on his forehead as he got ticked being called on his first name, though calming back down thinking that he"ll be swapping the Tesseract later and just hang out with Coulson later before he poaches him in the future.
Finishing the conversation with his own evil grin. Now seeing the Tesseract right in front of him ripe for the taking, he waited when it"s just him and Phil in the lab before he started the heist.
Which consisted of him, stealthily separating the room they are inside the mirror dimension to avoid recording devices. Went "Flash" slowed time, sent the Tesseract inside Mind Palace to be scanned by Augur.
Made counterfeit, placed it back in the table, creating a clone to continue "researching act" and interact with Coulson before blinking back home at the front door, with his clone left behind returning everything back to normal.
--- Wayne Mansion ---
『John』(Well that was Anti-climactic... YAWN I should catch up on some more sleep before I go to another venture, as everyone still thinks I"m with Uncle Nicky.)
Blinking back to his room, falling dead asleep as soon as he lays down on his bed. Unknown to him, his actions are being watched closely already by none other than the Yao hiding within the Mirror Dimension.
Not forgetting to command Augur to swap the incomplete Transers he provided everyone close to him with the newly produced ones equipped with more life-saving functionalities before he succ.u.mbs to his eternal bae, his BED.
『Yao』(Hmm... I don"t know how or why he has divinity, though it"s small, it is growing.. I have checked his parents, brother, even his uncle Nick Fury.
They don"t seem to descend from any line of either Asgardian"s or Olympian"s bloodline... Then I can only guess he is following some kind of the lost cultivation techniques in the East, the pract.i.tioners of going against the heavens.
Either he found/looked for a manual, legacy, inheritance, or someone alive to this day and age to teach him. I should check out the members of his staff.)
Leaving the mansion"s mirror dimension in her astral form, she bent the area through her will with the help of energy from the Dark Dimension as she went and investigated the staff of Wayne Ent..
Especially the Ryōzanpaku masters, and seeing that no one of them fit the bill. She went for the last plan she had in mind...

Politely asking John about the matter once he wakes up.
