"huh... So this is how it look likes before the plague" Eric said as he look around for potential enemies, when suddenly someone tap him from his back
Then Due to paranoia he made a front flip to create distance with his "would be assailant", pulling a black dagger from his shoes while his other hand slowly reach out for the gun in the bag
"woah! Woah! Those are some impressive move kid! Are you some kind of superhero? No those clothes don't look like spandex to me an agent perhaps? No you're too young to be an agent maybe a martial artist?" The old man said
The old man with white brush back hair seems familiar to Eric , The man has black rimmed glasses, a white mustache and a spectacular smile
'where have I seen this man?' now that Eric look closely the Old man kinda looks like stan lee but much more younger?
"who are you?" Alex ask with narrowed eyes "and what do you want? "
"oh yeah sorry kid! My name is Stan, Stan Lee The keeper- Eric cut off the old man with a question "The Keeper of the Multiverse? "
"What! No! I mean I'm the keeper, keeper of the park and your venturing on restricted area, so if you would kindly vacate this area please" Stan said
'hmm... If he really is Stan Lee then this answered some of my question' Eric thought to himself 'because I'm sure as hell Stan Lee don't work as a park keeper and besides he looks harmless to me... Hmm.. Wait! Is this one of his cameos?!'
Realizing that he had to give a reply soon, Eric sheath back his dagger and slowly approach Old man Stan, he scratch the back of his head then said "I'm sorry Mister Stan I didn't know that this place was restricted you see I kinda just arrive here at new york so I was kinda lost?"
"Oh is that so well come on then i'll show you the way out" Stan said
For a person who was threatened with a dagger he is kinda chill, maybe this is a common occurance perhaps?
"That's it? You won't ask why I have a blade with me?" Eric ask
"Kid this is New York, weird is common here by the way where are your parents?" Old man Stan ask
"Well you see Mister Stan I'm an Orphan-" Their talk continues as Mister Stan questioned Eric about why his here or what are his plan from then on
A few minutes walking they reach the exit Mister Stan look at Eric then smiled "Well Kid welcome to New York"
********
Eric with the recommendation of Mister Stan was now on a motel called "MarvelHome" while it was kinda cliche considering the universe his in, but anyway he had already taken an inventory of his so called Survivor's starter pack and this are things that he got:
2 Deagles with enchanted bullets
6 pairs of clothes
3 Gallons of water
12 boxes granola bar
12 boxes of cup noodles
12 boxes of can goods
5000$
A credit card with unknown amount of money
Identification Papers complete with drivers liscence
and lastly The Sword of Astadel
And if you're wondering how those things fit in the pack well the pack is also enchanted
Now that he have done an inventory, it is now time for the million dollar question: What should he do now?
After thinking for a while he had decided that he will not become a hero nor become a villain instead he wants to have a peaceful life free of dangers and worries, maybe even open a coffee shop, a bookstore or perhaps why not both
With that being said he quickly took a shower, then went to sleep on his comfy bed, he quickly falls asleep with a smile to his face, greatful that he is finally able to rest after such a long time.
