Chapter 19 - C19 : Gathering Evidence Part 2.

"What the hell- What happen to the Brat?"

Kurama said as he looked around the mind landscape, his eyes settled down onto Nick's figure.

Kurama's eyes widened in surprise but then they quickly became a glare filled with killing intent that reminded Nick of Sabertooth, a wild and animalistic bloodlust that prickled the hairs on the back of his neck.

"Who are you?" Kurama questioned Nick as he brought his head down to Nick's level with his tails waving behind him.

Nick stood his ground against Kurama's bloodlust and chose to look into Kurama's red eyes for a couple seconds before he spoke, "My name is Nick Stark, you should be called Kurama, yes?" Nick asked Kurama.

The fox's eyes widened again at being called by his name, "HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT NAME?!" Kurama scream at Nick, his hot breath making Nick's clothes flap.

"Well because I watched you tell Naruto your name of course." Nick told the fox like it was a matter of fact.

Kurama was stunned, "What do you mean?" Kurama asked more calm and curious then surprised at Nick now.

"It's like this, you, Naruto, ninja's, the Uchiha and their sharingans and everything like that is all just fiction in my world, you are just a collection of my memories of you, transformed into what you are know when I poured my energy or chakra as you would call it into those memories." Nick explained to Kurama.

Listening to what Nick was telling him, Kurama was once again stunned, "I'm not real ... but I remember the old man, my different containers, that Brat, Naruto! How could that all be fiction?!" Kurama screamed at Nick and then started growling and getting ready to pounce at Nick.

Seeing this Nick was ready to teleport at a moment's notice, "There probably is a world out there where you and Naruto actually exist and not just as story's like in my world, but you," Nick said as he used one of his hands to point at Kurama's nose, "Are not the same Kurama as that one, you were just born a couple seconds ago after all. You just have that Kurama's memories because that is the base a used when making you, make sense now?" Nick asked as he looked up at the angry fox meters away from him.

Hearing Nick's explanation Kurama leaned back into a sitting position, "What proof do you have?" Kurama asked Nick through questioning eyes.

"Mmm, well your in my mind-scape for one." Nick said as he gestured for Kurama to look around, Kurama did and finally paid some attention to Atlas who was still holding up the sky, Kurama's mouth actually opened, he was jaw dropped at what he was seeing, he slowly turned his head back to Nick who was watching him in amusement, barely holding in his laughs, "Hahaha, I bet you've never been speechless before, hahaha, the look on your face when you saw Atlas, hahaha, it's priceless, haah, I'm definitely going to enjoy watching that memory over and over." Nick laughed at Kurama's gob-smacked look.

"GRRR! What's so funny?!" Kurama shouted at Nick again as he stared down at him.

"You are, silly!" Nick shouted back with a wide grin.

Kurama eyes twitched slightly at Nick honest statement but he just huffed and sat back up straight, looking away from Nick as he said, "Ok, so let's say this is your mind, who is that big gold guy?" He said as he turned back to look at Atlas, "You said Atlas before." He said turning back to Nick.

"This is my mind and he is the one who keeps it from collapsing, I think, I might have unconsciously made him from my mental chakra, when my mind was under extreme stress, so that I didn't go crazy or something." Nick explained straight forwardly, Kurama just nodded his furry head and decided to leave it at that and move on.

"And you made me from your physical chakra I take it." Kurama asked Nick.

"Yeah, so my going to need your help for alittle while until I'm all topped back up again, I don't want to die suddenly after all, hehehahaha." Nick laughed, in the back of his mind he was thinking about the Joker, Heath Ledger to be exact, and what he must have been thinking when he came up with this iconic laugh.

"Alright, Kit. Calm down, you're making my fur crawl." Kurama said to Nick as he flattened his ears so he didn't hear Nick's laugh.

"Fine, but I wasn't joking when I said will need your power, I mean my power, arr! Let's just get out of here first and then we can see how things go from there." Nick then opened his third eye again and focused on spreading his extra eyes site on the outside of his minds world.

Kurama spoke up before he could do it though, "A third eye! The old man's mother had an eye like that, do you have her powers?" Kurama asked Nick.

"No, this eye was something I obtained from this would, I got my Byakugan's from that world thou." Nick explained before he once again focused his third eye.

...

Nick slowly opened his eyes to his gym room, he was still sitting in the same place he was in before, with his legs crossed.

He checked over his body for any changes but didn't see any so he then looked over to the wall mirror and was shocked when he saw that his face had gained whisker marks, just like Naruto, his horns had also grown from 3'' to 4''.

"I have whisker's... at least they work with my face and make it look more chiseled." Nick sighed in his head when he thought about all the explaining he would have to do from now on but then used his third eye to check his chakra level's.

When looked at himself with his third eyes ability be saw that his blood had lost it golden glow and was a walm red glow, just like his heart.

"I guess I will have to wait for my chakra to refill before I make more tailed beasts, but at least I now have a defender for my mind." Nick said up loud.

"Hurry up Kit, let me out!" Kurama shouted from inside Nick's mind.

"Arr, not so loud! Do you want me to go deaf?" Nick asked rhetorically, he then focused on the energy he felt inside himself, near his stomach, and he released some of it letting it flow out side his body where a giant fluffy orange fox with nine tails formed.

(This is what I see him as https://weheartit.com/entry/146470239)

"I'm finally out! It's been so long!" Kurama celebrated as he looked around himself, he spotted Nick and froze, "What are you so big? Is everyone in this world as big as you?" He asked in panic.

"Haha, no your just small right now." Nick then pointed to the wall mirror, Kurama followed his finger and saw himself.

"This isn't fair." He said depressed at his current state.

"Don't worry, I just don't want to shock people with a gigantic fox. Come on let's go meet my uncle, you might like him." Nick then got up from the ground and walked out of the room, Kurama soon followed with his head down and a dark cloud followed after him, mumbles could be heard from Kurama if you listened closely, "...why me, I have eight siblings he could have choosed from..." And things like, "... it's not fair..." Over and over.

...

"Uncle Tony! You down here?!" Nick shouted down the steps as he walked down them towards his uncles workshop, Kurama still following behind him.

"Yeah!" A shout could be heard from the bottom of the stares.

Nick continued walking down the steps and then past the broken glass door was being sweeped up by a robotic arm with a cone hat on top of it.

When Nick entered the workshop he looked around for his uncle but couldn't spot him, "Uncle Tony?" Nick asked aloud as Kurama came to standing beside him.

"Over here!" Tony shouted from under a car he was working on, Tony then rolled out from under the car and stood up to face Nick, oil and grease stains all over and his clothes, "What's up kid? Need relationship advice? Hahaha." Tony said laughing as he did.

"I don't think you would be very helpful in that department." Nick fired back.

"Well then what- What's that?" Tony asked Nick as he looked down at Kurama.

Kurama glared back at Tony, "I'm not a 'that' I have a name you-!" Kurama shouted at Tony.

"Kurama!" Nick shouted over Kurama, making him stop what he was saying before he could finish.

Kurama glared at Nick and in return Nick glared down at Kurama, this continued until, "Ha, you blinked I win." Nick laughed shocking Kurama and Tony who was standing beside them.

Kurama just gave up again and huffed, "...why is it always me..." He mumbled under his breath.

"So are you going to tell me why there is a talking dog next to you?" Tony asked his nephew.

Growls could be heard from Kurama, but Nick ignored him and answered his uncle, "This is Kurama, he is a nine-tailed fox, that I made from my own energy or chakra, whatever you want to call it."

"You can do that? Haah, why do I even bother being surprised anymore." Tony sighed.

"I just wanted to tell you that I'm going to see how my grandpa Logan is doing and that I now have a way to protect my mind for peepers." Nick said Tony as he looked at Kurama.

"Oh yeah I remember you telling about that mind reader, so that's the reason you held off from going to see your grandfather, alright, but don't be gone for long, I'm making a move against Obadiah and things might get ugly and I want you to be near me when it does." Tony explained to Nick.

"Don't worry, I would take a couple nuclear bombs to even put a dent in me now, haha." Nick laughed, while Kurama looked like he had regained some lost pride.

"Huh? Just be back soon, ok." Tony said getting tired of Nick's nonsense, disregarding his statement about bombs, just passing it off as Nick exaggerating.

"Alright see you later." Nick said to Tony, at the same time Kurama turned back into pure chakra and re-entered Nick's stomach.

Once Kurama had returned and Nick could feel his presence inside his mind he teleported away from Tony's workshop.

Tony was left alone with some dispersing red smoke and his shocked expression, "He wasn't joking about how he made him then... wait, does that mean he wasn't lying about the bombs." Tony said to himself, becoming even more shocked then before.

...

"Professor there is some at the gate, should I let them in?" A large blue furry man asked a bold man who was in a metal wheel chair besides him.

This was of course Hank McCoy, aka the Beast and Professor Charles Xavier, aka Professor X.

"Let me see Hank." Charles then moved over to the screen Hank was looking at, it showed Nick standing at the front gate with all his arms crossed, Nick suddenly look up at the camera and smiled and then held up all his hands showing peace signs and then he was gone, he vanished in a cloud of red smoke.

"Huh?" Hank exclaimed without meaning too.

"Took you long enough to notice." Nick said from the sofa that was in Charles's study, he had his top arms along the back of the sofa, one of his bottle hands was feeding him an apple he had taken from the bowl on the table, "You don't mind right?" Nick asked Charles as he held up the apple.

While Hank was still shocked, Charles had already snapped and was looking at Nick with interest, "No, please help yourself." Charles said to Nick, he then moved from behind his desk and to the place in front of it, that was across from where Nick was sitting.

"Cool, I'll help my self then." Nick said as he took three more apples, one in each hand, "I didn't have breakfast and I had a busy night." Nick smiled at them.

Hank just kept quite and stood next to Charles, "So, Mr. Stark why is it that your here? You have refused all past invitations for you to join my school and I heard that you have already entered into a school, Mid Town High if I'm not mistaken." Charles interrogated Nick, at the same time he was using his powers to try and read Nick's thoughts.

"Haha, I wouldn't do that Professor, you wouldn't like what you see inside." Nick told Charles, but not before he casually took a couple bites of one of his apples.

Charles showed a shocked expression before he calmed down, "Who made you aware of my abilities?" Charles asked as he thought about the possibility's but his mind always went back to Erik, aka Magneto.

At the same time Charles was thinking this he was also pushing harder against Nick's minds defence's, "Don't say I didn't warn you." Nick told Charles as he ate his the rest of his third apple.

'Just give him a scare, it will be enough for now.' Nick said in his mind to Kurama who was watching what was happening through Nick's eyes with the link that they shared.

'Haha, now this I can get behind.' Kurama laughed as he got excited from his current task.

Nick let down his defence's and in doing so Charles rushed in and stared search Nick's mind but he found that not matter how hard he willed it he couldn't make Nick's thoughts and memories surface and that's when he felt a chill down his damaged spine, he turned around and all he saw was these giant red eyes that made his blood run cold and sweat gather on his forehead, and that's he a deep throaty growl came from the red eyes direction, a roar filled with bloodlust and hate came rushing at Charles like a moving wall.

The roar forced him out of Nick's mind and back into the present, only a couple seconds passed during the whole time, from the Charles was let into Nick's and to when he was kicked out of it by Kurama.

Time inside the mind is slower compared to the outside world because of how of how fast the mind actually works.

"I warned you and everything as well and that's why I hate mind readers, to just can't help yourself from know everyone's secrets, there secrets for a reason dipsh!t." Nick complained to Charles but he wasn't listening, he was to work up over what he just experienced.

"W-what was t-that? So much hate, and those eyes, red eyes... ." Charles asked Nick with a tremor in his voice and a pale face.

"Secrets, Professor, what did I say about them? Hmm?" Nick replied, this left Charles looking down at his lap, mumbling under his breath and red eyes and hate.

'I think you broke him.' Nick said to Kurama in his mind.

'I truly thought he would have a stronger mind if he was able to enter your mind without making any signs.' Kurama said back, his voice lazy as if he saw this ever other day.

"Professor? Are you alright?!" Hank asked the hunched over man next to him, but turn back to Nick when he got no reply, "What did you do to him?!" Hank shout as he lunged at Nick, his claw's out, ready for a deadly strike.

Nick just teleported to behind the sofa, Hank landed on the same place Nick just left and he was about to jump again at Nick who was in front of him.

But Nick reacted quicker, he simply punched Hank square in the chin, with a free hand at the same time he was still eating then finishing off his last apple, "Well that could have gone better." Nick said aloud as he looked at an unconscious Hank and a broken Charles.

"What the hell is going on in here?!" Logan shout as he burst through the doors with his metal claw's released, he was surprised when he saw the mess that had been created but even more surprises from what Nick said next.

"Oh, hey, grandpa." Nick said to Logan as he waved at him with a top hand.

"Huh?"
