Re: Heroes X Marvel X DC

Feeling his mind overheating from the worries that his action brought to the current reality, he did what an over-thinker does to calm his mind.

By being productive! So not wasting any more time, he left a clone behind then blinked to the open air s.p.a.ce outside the building and flew at supersonic speed at the height between the Thermosphere and Mesosphere to avoid hitting planes.

『John』"My PPRRREECCIIIOOOUUSSSSS" said in Golum"s voice.

Upon bypa.s.sing the natural cloak and defenses of the island, he landed heavily on the ground creating a huge crater disrupting the beauty of nature untouched by humans or any other creature for that matter in a long time.

『John』(Dammit! Did you at least record that hero landing Augur?) annoyed for not having an audience to rate his hero landing.

『Augur』(Affirmative. Commencing Scan...)

Closing his eyes, seconds later he activated his [Life Vision] and focused on feeling the heartbeat of the monster island focused on his hearing.

Opening his eyes wide, now having his sights locked on the main source/heart/brain of the island. He used his [Speed Force] to phase through the ground straight to its source.

In front of him is a huge green colored shaped heart dangling under the roots of a huge tree which he pa.s.sed by earlier that is bigger than a giant sequoia tree found in California"s Sequoia National Park.

Feeling his headache getting worse the nearer he gets close to it, he knew it won"t go down without a fight.

『John』(Krakoa... Augur is there really no other way to subdue it other than a mental fight?)

『Augur』(According to your previous life knowledge sir, this monster has been disconnected to the world for far too long to improve it"s sentience.

Therefore, there is no other option other than removing his primal sentience.)

『John』(I see...) replied dryly preparing himself on his first telepathic showdown against it.

Now finally an arms reach in front of the heart, he made himself comfortable then steeled himself and left his body through astral form diving inside the huge green heart ahead of him.

--- Meanwhile Back in New York ---

Dropping off Peter silently back to his bed after healing the surface wounds from the healing chamber, removing anything that will get Peter be questioned heavily if seen.

DING! [Quest Achieved!]

DING! [New Quest Received!]

『Clone』(Hmm... looks like boss will take a while trying to temper his astral capabilities. Welp, finally time to play around then! Muahahahaha!)

Laughing evilly inside his head, thinking now that the original will be out in a few days/weeks/months he can finally take it easy and lounge around till then.

With nothing to do, he went to the daycare his brother was staying at to play with him and have some bonding moments with the hyperactive kid.

--- Daycare ---

Arriving at the daycare while hidden in the shadows, the clone clearly sees his target with the usual hyperactive Steine making friends with other kids his age.

While seeing the five kids of different racial features talking in a corner of the room, thinking kids planning on pulling out pranks at that age already. Well, of course, other than the trained little brother.

Creeping in on their shadows, trying to check on what level their pranks are at, he hears a disturbing conversation.

『K1』"Are we still too young? Why is everyone else still nice to each other?"

『K2』"Father said we can already start using our powers..."

『K3』"I think we are not the problem... It was working earlier before that guy arrived."

『K4』"It"s that kid taking everyone"s attention, he has some kind of aura that cancels out ours."

���K5』"Should we take care of him?"

『Rest』"Agreed!"

All of them looking at his little brother maliciously at the same time. Now clearly intrigued at how the conversation is going.

He wanted to see what kind of people these kids are and maybe track the "Father" they mentioned, talking about powers and Steine"s aura.

Waiting for a few hours, they finally managed to isolate his little brother from everyone else in the daycare.

『Steine』"h.e.l.lo! My name is Steine! Nice to meet you!" in a yell like voice with a jolly tone of meeting new friends.

『K1-5』"h.e.l.lo." replying at the same time while looking extremely menacing and moving closer to Steine than necessary.

『K3』"He looks and feel like a human-"

『K1』"But there is something else-"

『K4』"Is he like us?"

『K5』"No, he feels different."

『K2』"Then we can just ask it out of him."

『Steine』"What are you guys talking bout? Do you guys know manners?

You usually introduce yourself back when meeting someone new." giving out a mischievous smile feeling these people are the one"s his brother told him to watch out for "Bullies".

『K1-5』"He"s right. We five are brothers."

『K1』"I"m called Brother Goat" while pushing Steine roughly.

『K2』"Brother Rat." positioning himself to cover them from the child care worker sight.

『K3』"Brother Scorpion" blocking Steine"s back.

『K4』"Call me Adder" guarding his left.

『K5』"and I"m Brother Spider." while going to his right.

Saying out their ident.i.ties, the system in the clones already searching the library regarding the information on them while slowly isolating the rest of the daycare just in case he has to interfere.

『Steine』"You sure? Same father or mother? Or just super bff to treat each other like brothers?" tilting his head slightly showing his confusion at how they barely look like each other.

"Is that really your names? Do your parents love you? Why would they name you like that?"

"You guys need help? Cause I can tell my brother and maybe he can check out if you guys are being treated alright." again with the regular curious questions that make his "Bullies" pop a vein.

『B-Goat』"What about you? Are you like us?"

『Steine』"Me? I"m fine, I like my name. Like you? Heck no! I"m BETTER!"

『B-Adder』"Then what are you?"

『Steine』"I"m a PRANKSTER!"

『K1-5』"Are you messing with us?!"

SLAP!

The clone doing a hard facepalm in the shadows letting out a chuckle.

『Steine』"What? You asked if I"m like you, and I"m no "Bully" like you!

Do you think surrounding me thinks you guys can handle me? Try it!" smiling wickedly knowing he is getting on their skin.

『Steine』(Just a bit more and it will be considered "Self-defense")

『B-Spider』"We are getting nowhere. Let"s just kick his a.s.s!" throwing the first punch.

Of course, being a part of Wayne"s family, he already has basic self-defense moves though he is just a five year old kid. Trained through physical activities that were treated as games back at the house.

That being said, within a few minutes he got them down laying on their backs with a couple of moves later.

『Steine』"See? I told you, I"m better than you!" with his hands on his hips and nose pointed at the sky of his victory.

DING! Meanwhile, the clone finally received intel on the kids" background that made him worry.

(Search complete! Ident.i.ties matching the target are known as the [Crow Children] sons of Olympian G.o.d of war, [Ares] from DCU)

『C-John』"s.h.i.t!"

『B-Goat』"You-"

『B-Scorpion』"will-"

『B-Spider』"regret-"

『B-Adder』"this!"

『K1-5』"FATHER!"

Of course with the typical finishing each other sentences, with their shout there was an additional person standing within the isolated corner of the daycare.

『Guy』"My Children..." kneeling down looking at the kids down on the floor, then glaring at the one standing.

『Guy』"Did you do this? Who are you? and WHAT-ARE-YOU?!" slowly nearing Steine.

GULP! swallowing a mouthful of saliva at the sudden appearance of an adult, Steine knew this guy is like his brother so he did what they did...

『Steine』"Heh think only you guys can do that?

BROTHER!!!" yelling his lungs out for his brother"s rescue.

『C-John』"What did you do this time, little brat?" popping out from the shadows of Steine.

『K1-5』"NANI!?"

『Steine』"Nothing... these guys were bullying me..." switching back to puppy eyes looking, adorable little brother.

『C-John』"See, you heard the little guy. It was self-defense so why don"t we just leave it at that? The name is John M. Wayne btw."

Giving out a hand to shake against the G.o.d with a body looking like Scott Adkins. The clone guessing that the won"t be showing as a zealot for Kaecilius later on then.

『Ares』"Divinity? You"re not Olympians, would have heard of you... Asguardians? No, you feel different. Cultivator?!" showing an intense glare against the new guy that popped out of nowhere like him.

『C-John』"Ahh, don"t leave me, hanging dude. Do you even have manners? No wonder where they learned their att.i.tudes." making the man opposite him pop a vein on his forehead.

Hearing the familiar remark Steine let out a low chuckle while the kids slowly getting back up growls at what he said.

『C-John』"And no, I"m not one of those extinct cultivators. Had that tested with Yao." pulling his hands back knowing he won"t be able to scan the G.o.d in front of him.

『Ares』"Ares, I see.. Though I don"t trust her, I"m guessing she won"t risk everyone else for another "Reset". Hmm.. I will collect this debt later on. Let"s go!" taking the hands of his kids they disappeared as quickly as he arrived.

『C-John』"Ahh, what a waste. I guess he is still too weak after his fight with Diana..." letting out a sigh.

『Steine』"Who was that? Is he like you? Does the "Bullies" have powers too?" again with curious nature of a kid.

『C-John』"A G.o.d, no he is like an alien, and yes. Anyways well done earlier, already have a nemesis at this age! Though you still need to train a little bit more, to face them in the future."

『Steine』"A G.o.d?! ALIENS?! THAT IS SO AWESOME!!!!!" jumping up and down upon learning about the people they just faced.

『Steine』"Btw, where is my real brother? You are a clone right? Doesn"t matter that just means I got tons of brothers!" pouting at how his big brother didn"t show up instead of a clone, but then happy again.

『C-John』"Hm.. He is under seclusion, pre-occupied for a while." a little bit shocked at how he was able to identify him quickly, guessing he got tips from their mother how to discern a clone from the original.

『C-John』"Anyways, with him busy, we could play around while he is gone! Be happy little bro!" while he removed the barricade isolating the rest of the daycare and entering the front door.

Putting the worries of going against the Olympian G.o.ds this early, leaving the search of Wonder Woman to other clones. Thinking that the aura the Crow Children felt on Steine was shards of divinity from the original.
