National City, the place to be. All thanks to Superior Man. Nicklaus was watching the city with a smile on his face for he was sure of winning the bet with Tsune. As he was just staring, an explosion from the ocean made him look at the direction. He saw a cruise ship being attacked by a boat full of armed men. He frowned at this and listened to what was happening.
"Get everyone to the deck now or we will blow this ship!" one of the armed men shouted.
"Pirates. Hmm, never realised they would come this close to National Island," he said as he started hovering. "Time to shine." He flew towards the ship but half way there, an explosion in the city stopped him. He looked at the direction and saw an apartment on fire.
"What's going on over there?" he asked and flew to the building.
"Help! Someone please help me!" someone shouted from the building on fire.
"My baby! Someone help my baby!"
"Grandma! Grandma! Where are you?"
Nicklaus frowned as this looked quite coincidental to be true. He took a deep breath and blew out icy winds that put out the fire. The people inside started screaming out for him.
"Alright, everyone just hold on to anyone who is injured near you," Nicklaus shouted. He used his Psychokinesis and the building started crumbling. The onlookers thought he just killed everyone in there but found everyone in there was floating in the air. There were some who were injured, some were half naked and there was a guy who still had his little brother out of his boxers and his hand was still wet with lube. They were all put down slowly as perimedics. Nicklaus looked around and saw a car driving off.
"What do we have here?" he rhetorically asked as he flew towards them. One of them saw him and started panicking.
"Shit, he's coming after us!" one of them freaked out.
"Use that new tech that guy gave us," another said. The first one removed a speaker like gadget and threw it to the air. Nicklaus frowned at this but the next moment a sonic scream came out of the gadget making him clutch his ears in pain. He got hold of it and crushed it angrily.
"Wait, it worked? Hahahaha, the guy knew Superior Man had sensitive ears so he made that gadget to slow him down," the driver said happily but it was short lived when the car was suddenly hit by their query and it was flung in the air like it was shot out of a railgun. Before they knew it, the car crashed into the beach but it did not explode.
The men inside groaned in pain as they started squirming. One of them kicked open the windscreen and they started crawling out. Nicklaus landed in front of them and looked out at the sea
"You know, I would have never thought someone would use my super hearing against me, it just shows how much humans are intelligent when it comes to making devices to hurt others," Nicklaus said. "I'm guessing you are part of the group that was in the cruise ship, huh?"
"We are not telling you anything," one of the men said. Nicklaus laughed at this and turned towards them.
"Nobody knows this but I made this island. I know everywhere I can hide or hide my skeletons and this place is the perfect place to burn bodies without anyone knowing."
"You can't do that, you are a hero," one of them said.
"I killed an Arch-Angel once, God was petty enough to teleport me to my arch nemesis, an Asura and she was becoming more powerful with each time I grew powerful and we ended up destroying universes. Now, if you think God is petty because of that then you must know what I will do to you. I made this Island and everyone in this place before more people migrated so I take them as my children and you just tried to murder them." His eyes started glowing red and the four men started having panic attacks.
"I loathe people who try to take away my things," Nicklaus said in a demonic voice. Lasers shot out of his eyes and started burning them as they screamt until they turned to ashes.
"That was dark," Tsune commented. Nicklaus just shrugged it off and flew towards the cruiseship.
When he was a hundred metres away, he saw six huge guns pointed towards him by twelve armoured men. Another one just came and stood in front of them and looked at Nicklaus arrogantly.
"Who might you be?" Nicklaus asked him with a smile.
"I am the one who is going to kill you," the man said.
"Sheesh, aren't you cute," Nicklaus said making the man seeth in anger.
"My name is Garen Devoe, I am a mutant and I was paid by a lot of people to kill you," the man shouted.
"Really? So, you are one of those people who just do it for the money?" .Nicklaus asked him.
"Well, I am. By the way, how did you like those small subsonic speakers? I loaded them with enough wave lengths to make the most hearing sensitive animal on earth have it's head explode," Garden gloated. (A/N: Autocorrect just made Garen to Harem)
"I have to say I was a bit surprised that something can give me a small mirgraine but I am better now, thank you," Nicklaus answered. Garen growled in anger.
"You won't be laughing when i am done with you. Ready the ray guns," Garen said. The men clicked a button and the guns started glowing red.
"So your thoughts is to use those to kill me?" Nicklaus asked.
"You see, these guns have the full concentrated power of a nuclear blast and you will be hit with six of them," Garen said.
"What if I dodge?" Nicklaus asked and Garden started laughing ominously.
"Then you can say bye bye to your beloved island," Garen said. "Fire."
The guns shot out red beams that hit Nicklaus squarely on his chest. An explosion like none they ever saw came next as it lit up the sky so much the sun was almost dimmed. Garen braced for the shockwave but almost shit his pants when he saw what happened next. Nicklaus was swallowing the explosion into his body until there was none left! He burped out loud as he patted his stomach.
"That hit the spot," he sighed with pleasure. "You know just how to please a hero. Now, if you would come with me I will be putting you to jail."
"Stop, I have a dirty bomb set in the city. If you leave me alone then I will not let it explode," Garen said hurriedly.
"Jeez, you are full of demands, aren't you?" Nicklaus said as he started vibrating faster and faster until another him appeared next to him. They both stopped vibrating and the second Nicklaus flew off.
"What was that? What did you do?" Garen asked him.
"I just made a speed clone, pretty nifty, huh?" Nicklaus said with a proud smile.
"You must have used a lot of energy to produce that," Garen said with a reassured smile. "Guess I should tell you that there are small drones all over the island with homemade bombs. If you let me go I will...fugshasgshh." Garen screamt incoherently when he saw Nicklaus start doing sidesteps so fast he produced a hundred afterimages on the water that flew off.
"Hehehe, I can do this all day. Do you have more contingency plans I will ruin?" Nicklaus asked with his nose held high.
"You win, bastard. This is not the end, I am going to kill you once I am out of prison," Garen said.
"Who said you will be going to prison?" Nicklaus asked him. Garen frowned at this.
"Where else would you take me?" he asked as he started getting a bad feeling about this.
"Nowhere because you were never here," Nicklaus said as his eyes shone red. "I do not telorate someone making my island their playground. Goodbye, Garen." Nicklaus shout out his lasers and incinerated everyone on the deck, the guns too. Once he was done, Nicklaus landed onto the ship and went below deck. There, he found the remaining hostages tied up together.
"Hi, sorry I was late, bastards distracted me one my way here. I will bring the ship on shore and let the cops do their things," Nicklaus said as the ropes untied themselves. He went back out and pushed the ship to the harbour and let the cops take over. Nicklaus then went to a skyscraper and sat on the roof.
"Oh Marvel, you do not fail to amaze me. A politician is trying to kill me using such simple methods? Even after all the powers I have shown and they still believe I can be killed!" Nicklaus laughed.
"Maybe they think you are just putting on a front and hiding your weakness," Tsune said.
"They want this city. It is the only city in all the States that they haven't gotten their corruptible hands on and it's thanks to me. With me out, National Island is like America when it was found, everyone will want it from secret government organisations to the underground criminal groups. People of National Island forgot what crime look like thanks to me and it will be a hell on earth when I leave," Nicklaus told her.
Things went on as usual in National Island and Nicklaus heard that things did go according to the movies everywhere else. It was now the year 2012 and Nicklaus was excited. In his previous life where he was a boring human, he had started watching Marvel movies when they produced Avengers 1. Now he was going to live in it and as a hero nonetheless.
Nicklaus was doing his usual thing, patrolling a crimeless city with his side kick. Yep, he got a side kick who was a mutant. Her powers were super human durability and with his help she could bench press five hundred tonnes, run at speeds of Mach 1 and her skin can survive being ran over by a bullet train. He also trained her reflexes that she would make Spiderman's acrobatics look like child's play. Her name was Olsa and her hero name was Ms Incredible. Anyway, they were patrolling the city when Nicklaus saw the familiar figure.
"Olsa, take point, I'm going to meet an old friend," Nicklaus told her and flew over to Nick Fury who was standing at the same skyscraper he did years ago.
"Aren't afariad of heights? I was and it was a nightmare flying the first few weeks," Nicklaus joked but the old man was not amused.
"We need your help," he said. Nicklaus pretended to be surprised by his grim look then got into his brain.
"Captain America is back? And you have the thing that made the war intense, a Tesseract, huh? So you want me to be ready just in case?" Nicklaus asked.
"I have a bad feeling something is gonna happen and I might need your help," Fury said.
"Sure, if the Earth is in danger I am going to help you," he said then flew off to catch up with Olsa.
"Hey, partner, I might be gone for a couple of days so make sure no riffraff gets into our territory, alright?" he asked her.
"Then will I get my cape?" she asked in enthusiasm.
"If I find the island still without the rats then I will give you the cape," he promised her and ruffled her hair. She loved to fight and she somehow reminded him of Sophia, his first ever battle junkie female student.
"Maybe it's something I say to them," Nicklaus said to himself
