Tony was trying to remove the armour with the robotic arms, Nick was standing close by watching in amusement as Tony struggled.
"So how did it go, was there any trouble?" Nick asked his uncle with his top arms crossed and his bottom ones in his pockets.
"Just a couple highly armed terrorists, you know the usual, oh and I got shot down by a tank." Tony smirked to himself.
Nick just stood there and nodded his head half listening and half still thinking about May and what they did last night and what he told her and Peter just a couple of minutes ago.
After Nick had finished telling his whole story and after Nick got a couple more comforting hugs from May, he teleported them both back to their apartment with a promise to talk to them both later.
After they both got some real rest, May about where they stand relationship wise and to Peter about what he was working on all night.
"Nick? Nick!" Tony shouted from the middle of a group of moving robot arm's, shouting to get the attention of his dazed nephew.
"Huh, what is it uncle?" Nick said to Tony, looking back up at him.
"Why are you so unfocused? You still thinking about last night? Sorry I had to ditch you and your friend last night, but I'm sure there wasn't any problems right?" Tony asked Nick as he struggled with the robot arm trying to take off his chest piece.
"Huh, oh, yeah everything went fine." Nick said as he looked away from Tony to try and hide some of his embarrassment about what he and May did after they left the event.
"Haha, what's with that look? Did something actually happen last night? Between you and your little aunt May friend?" Tony asked with a cheeky smirk as he looked back at Nick.
Nick just looked away again, not denying anything or confirming anything either.
"Hahaha, so my little blue nephew's finally become a man, hahaha. Just wait, me and you will hit the town and have some goo-" Tony laughed as he talked to Nick, looking forward as he did, so he didn't see a red headed woman come down the stairs.
"Some good what? Exactly what are you intending to do with your nephew when 'hit the town'?" Pepper said interrupting Tony in the middle of what he was saying when she came through the broken glass door, her face angry, probably at the thought of Tony corrupting Nick with his play boy ways and because Tony also ditched her last night as well.
"Huh, well I can expla-" Tony began but was cut off once again when Pepper shouted.
"Are those bullet holes!" She shouted as she looked shocked at the torn up armour Tony was still having trouble with.
Nick quickly butted in before Tony could speak, trying to get out of the awkward situation as quickly as he could, "Well this is my exit, Pepper can help you with gathering evidence, just call me when you need help, bye!" Nick said to Tony before he immediately teleported away.
Tony and Pepper were left looking at each other, Tony nervous and alittle scared of Peppers wrath and Pepper was still staring angrily at Tony.
...
Nick had teleported away to his gym, next to his room, he was sat down on a mat he used for practicing his grappling techniques on and sometimes meditation and that was what he was doing right now.
He wanter to see if his new powers would let him enter his mental landscape and so Nick sat in a cross-legged position on the mat and calmed his breathing and cleared his mind, once his mind was as steady as he could make it he opened his third eye and waited for anything to happen, minutes passed with nothing happening.
He just had a new view through his third eye, it made his already perfect vision even clearer and more expensive l, even without his Byakugan activated.
With nothing happening he decided to change his tactic, he closed his eyes and left his third eye open, the only thing that changed was his vision again, he was now seeing a grey world with some splashes of colour here and there, the sun shining through the windows gave a subtle golden glow, the electricity running throughout the rooms walls looked like bright blue lighting that didn't stop pulsing through the cables hidden in the walls, if Nick looked out his window he would see the sea and it's blue-green colour with dots of pulsing warm red colours, which were the fish and it's life energy.
Nick was surprised at his new ability but he quickly excepted that he could see the energies of the universe.
Nick wasn't able to enter his minds landscape like he wanted but he felt that he was on the right track, looking around the room he saw himself in a mirror, he saw that he was a blue grey mass of energy and he could see that his heart was glowing red through his chest and it was pulsing, pumping a moltent liquid gold blood throughout the rest of his body.
Nick watched his heart beat for a little while longer before he looked towards his head and his third eye, his third eye was a dark red pupil surrounded by even darker black and his golden blood was pulsing in the red veins around his third eye, pulsing towards his third eye as if he was powering his third eye with whatever was in his blood making it a gold colour.
Nick once again watched himself to see if there was any changes but when nothing changed again Nick tried something else that he thought might work, he tried to focus his third eyes view inside himself and that's when his vision slowly began to go dark.
...
It was seconds before his vision became lighter, letting Nick see a completely different setting, it was a green nature filled, mountain region with mountains all around himself, like he was in a crater.
When Nick looked up from the crater, up towards the mountains peaks he saw a giant half naked man with a toga wrapped around his waist, standing up beyond the mountain peak.
The man was at least 600meters tall and he was completely golden in colour, he had his arms spread out over his head, with his hands pushing up against the sky or the representation of Nick's mind.
When Nick first saw this gigantic golden man he was flabbergasted, but calmed down when he realised where he was, he was inside his own mind and so he knew that there shouldn't be anything here that could hurt him and the golden man was a representation of what was holding his mind together like Atlas held the heavens up, or at least that should be what the golden man is otherwise he wouldn't have any other idea of why there was a Greek god living in his mind.
"I'm just going to ignore you for now Atlas but great job holding my mind together so far, I really appreciate it." Nick said to Atlas as he gave him four thumbs up.
Nick then looked around the rest of his minds landscape to see if there was any other surprise's, there wasn't, even when he looked with his Byakugan band third eye, the land seemed to stretch on forever when he looked in one direction with his Byakugan and when he looked with his third eye he just saw the same grey world as before, Atlas was glowing gold like his blood was when he first looked at himself with his third eye, but there wasn't anything else out of place.
Nick stopped looking for anything else in his mind and decided to try out something's he wanted to try when he first thought about entering his minds landscape.
Nick pictured different objects that he wanted to appear in front of him, but nothing happened, which made Nick disappointed, he wanted to try out some of his crazy ideas that would have been suicide if he did it in the real world but sadly destroying asteroids with a single punch would have to wait until he was strong enough in the real world.
Changing his approach Nick decided to try and look through his memories, when picturing a large cinema screen didn't work he tried something else, Nick activated his third eyes ability to read other people's minds and directed in at the landscape in front of himself, when Nick did this Atlas suddenly began to more, he moved one of his gigantic hands from the sky and reached in front of himself, towards the ground around 60 meters in front of Nick and he then placed his hand on the ground for a second before lifting it back up again revealing a stone stare case downwards.
After opening the stone passage Atlas moved his hand back to the sky and continued to hold it up for Nick.
During all this Nick was watching in awe, wishing he had a bowl of popcorn to enjoy at the same time he watched Atlas move.
Once the path was open Nick didn't hesitate, he ran into the stone passage and continued to run until he found something, Nick ran for about another 300 meters before he saw a light in front of him, once he saw the light he began to slow down, coming to a stop right at the edge of misty area that had lots of balls of light spread out all over the place.
Nick walked up to the closest ball of light and stood in front of it, he thought that it must be a memory and so he put his hand it to the ball of light to see what would happen, soon after he moved his hand the ball of light exploded like a flag bang but the light didn't stop getting brighter.
Nick soon regained his vision be he saw something different then what he was seeing before, he was looking at an old memory of his, back on his old earth, it was him sitting down on a sofa watching a movie, the movie was the new Venom film with Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock.
Nick was watching the memory from behind his old self, like he was a ghost watching the rest of the world go bye, unable to interact with anything.
Watching the film along side his old self Nick felt a strong pulling force from behind himself, he was sucked out of the memory and back into the misty area with the balls of light, even though he was now he was out of the memory the pulling feeling didn't stop, it just got stronger and stronger, pulling him back towards the stone passage.
Nick dug his feet into the stone floor to try and resist the strong force acting on him but even when he went down on to hands and knees to try and stop himself from being pulled back he was still pulled back down the passage and as a last ditch effort he tried to grad on to the closest thing next to him but it was just pulled along with him.
And so Nick was thrown from the stone passage, back into the mountain area where he first appeared in his mind.
The stone passage closed behind him, becoming a rocky floor again, like the stone passage wasn't even there to begin with.
Nick watched as he saw Atlas in the middle of moving his hand back to the sky roof, it was looking like it was under Atlas's influence that Nick was sucked from the stone passage before he could view anymore of his memories.
With a sigh Nick looked away from Atlas and just excepted that Atlas held move control over his mind then him, for now at least, Nick thought to himself.
As he was looking away from Atlas he looked down at his hand which held a glowing ball of light, a memory, Nick had grabbed onto anything he could when he was being pulled from the memory passage that he didn't even realize that he actually pulled his memory along with him.
Nick was of course surprised at first but his curiosity overpowered his surprise and so Nick held the memory up in front of himself and then put his hand into the memory to view it, once again the flash bang went off in his face but he saw prepared and he closed his eyes in advance.
When the light cleared he was again saw his past self watching a thing on a TV screen but this time it was of when Naruto talked to the nine-tailed fox, Kurama, that was sealed in him, Naruto was saying something about how awesome his Father was and Kurama replied something like, he didn't need to be told that he knew well enough already, from this Nick guessed he was watching the war against Madura and Obito.
Nick left the memory by floating himself up and out of the room in the memory; after he had watched some more Naruto thou.
After leaving the memory he came back to the mind landscape with the memory ball still resting on the top of his hand, Nick worried about what he should do with the memory since it was unlikely that Atlas would listen to his command to open the memory passage and Nick didn't like the feeling of leaving his memory out in the open for any mind reader to see and that's when it hit him.
Nick quickly opened his third eye again and concentrated pushing his energy in the ball of light, all the pure unbridled energy that powered himself and his third eye was poured on this ball of light, feeding it growth.
As Nick continued to feed the ball of ligh with his golden energy through this third eye the ball of light began to grow larger and larger, changing shape as it did, it when from a meter wide ball of light to a 10 meter wide fox made out of light, Nick smiled when he saw that his idea was working so he became even more excited and pushed move of his energy into the fox, making it grow even larger and as it growed it's tails began to split them selves, one tail became two, two tails became four, again and again the split until there was nine tails in total and the ball of light had grown to the length of around 1,000 meters, and into the the shape of a nine-tailed fox just like Kurama was when he was in his prime.
Kurama was 1,000 meters in length because his tails were at least 560 meters long each and his body was around 440 meters long from the tip of his ears to his behind, that number would be even bigger if he counted his arms and legs Nick thought.
Kurama's still glowing figure took up most of the space in Nick's mind and that was just when he was curled up in a ball, Nick began to worry if there would be anymore room and so he slowed his feeding of his energy but as if to answer his concerns Atlas began to move.
The golden giant slowly extended his kneeling leg and brought up the other leg so he was now standing straight up with the sky pushing down on his shoulders, with his arms bent by he quickly changed that, be began to push against the sky, rasing the cloud level slowly and he did this until he was standing completely straight up with his hand straight above him against as well.
This raised the sky's cloud level plenty enough for Kurama to move about in his mind unhindered.
Nick smiled at Atlas's actions and didn't waste time, he speed up his energy feeding, Nick did this until he felt that Kurama had a stable energy even when he stop supplying energy and he was now watching to see how Kurama would change next.
And he didn't have to wait long, the giant glowing fox began to dim and change to a ginger colour, his features also started to take shape.
At the end of the process Kurama ended up looking just like the original, except this one was made from a memory and Nick's energy instead of chakra like in Naruto.
Once Kurama had fully formed Nick continued to wait to see how Kurama would react when he awoke, Would he have the originals memory's and personality? Will he take his memories from what Nick's memory provided for him? Nick continually guessed at what the out come of his efforts would be, but he knew only time would tell.
Suddenly there was movement from the sleeping fox, a giant furry black eyelid opened to reveal a striking red eye.
"What the hell- What happen to the Brat?"
