Arriving the next day the young assassin got off her plane, and got past security without issue. Gathering her luggage she was about to go when she noticed familiar people blending in with the crowd. Hiding behind a pillar the young girl started to panic.
'They already found me...I was so careful though!', she thought.
Waiting for an opportunity to flee she got it a few moments later. Taking the opportunity the girl bolted for the exit. Just as she thought she was home free, three men entered through the door she knew well. Her blood ran cold as she felt their killing intent towards her. Wanting to cry she felt powerless to stop her life from ending. Doing the only thing that came to mind, she immediately screamed for help.
"Someone please help me!!", she screamed.
Going to cover her mouth the men wanted to take her somewhere private, and kill her. Before they reached her a Hero intervened.
"Have no fear, I am here!!", All Might said stepping in front of her, "Three men reaching out to harm a young child, that is inexcusable. Why don't you three come with me, and we will have a chat with security?"
Clicking their tongues they immediately went on the offensive. Letting her live was far more dangerous than them causing a scene. The leader quickly let a hurricane force blast of wind from his hands causing the inside of the building to start falling apart. Jumping into action All Might slammed his foot down to counter the wind with his own wind pressure. Cancelling each other out, All Might then shoulder checked the man square in the chest.
Feeling the force of a semi slam into him, the first assassin went down hard. Knocked unconscious he was no longer a threat leaving the other two to fight. One man made a blade out of lightning and the other man made one of water.
"Detroit Smash!", All Might shout blasting the two of them out the door with just the force of his punch.
Getting the attackers away from the public All Might quickly subdued them, and after that airport security arrived on the scene to make arrests. Holding her luggage tightly she looked at All Might who was walking back to her. Fearing someone would recognize her she thanked him, and tried to leave. Stopping her All Might asked why she was almost attacked by them. From his view it was quite clear they were targeting her.
"Looking for help...", she said softly holding a crumbled newspaper page with my photo, "Looking for this Hero."
"Young Clark?", All Might asked, "Do you need him for something?"
Nodding her head she did her best to not say too much. If he or the police found out she was a former assassin she knew she wouldn't be able to walk freely anymore. Her parents taught her that being caught would lead to a lot of pain and torture, she didn't understand that at her age that was very unlikely to happen to her though.
"Uncle Might, are you okay?", a young girl asked as her father and her came from luggage claim.
"Of course!", he laughed, "It would seem that we need to make a slight detour, is that alright?"
"Yes!", the girl shouted.
"I will have the car brought around.", her father said pressing a button.
Pulling up a large SUV, All Might helped get their belongings in the car before giving the man the address. Sitting in the back while the two men talked the young assassin looked over to see the girl staring at her.
'She doesn't recognize me does she?', the young assassin asked.
"My name is Melissa, what's yours?", Melissa asked.
"Dorothy.", the assassin said without thinking.
By the time she realized she slipped up it was too late.
"That's a cool name!", Melissa laughed, "Where are you from?"
"Far away.", Dorthey said.
"Like Europe or America?", Melissa asked.
"Europe.", Dorothy said uncomfortably.
---Airport---
Having completely forgotten that there were other people she knew at the airport they notified their boss who was nearby that she had gotten away.
"She got a Hero to act, and took out the three men.", the assassin stated.
"Damn it, do we have someone tracking her?", the boss asked.
"Yes sir, we have eyes in the sky.", the assassin replied.
"Follow them, and execute with extreme prejudice. I don't want her telling the police, or reaching that brat.", the boss said.
"Sir, you mean you don't want this done quietly?", the assassin's asked.
"We don't have a choice, if she spills the secrets she has we are all dead.", the boss said, "That girl has secrets that will get many politicians in America and Europe in trouble."
"Understood.", they said leaving the airport.
---A few blocks from Wayne Manor---
"So whose the person we are going too see?", David asked.
"You remember the person I told you that healed me?", All Might asked, "This is the boy that did it, his intelligence is probably higher than yours."
"Oh really?", David laughed, "I look forward to meeting him."
"How old is he?", Melissa asked.
"He is ten.", All Might said.
"Ten!?", Melissa gasped, "How smart is he?"
"Haha well he is installing wireless power throughout the city, designed Med Bots that can-"
Before finishing his sentence a massive explosion erupted a few feet from the SUV. Swerving to miss the next one, David floored it and got them out of there. A series explosions seemingly started to chase them. Rounding the corner to my home, the next explosion caused the SUV to flip. Melissa and Dorothy both screamed as the nearby brick building came into view. Right before hitting the wall though the vehicle stopped then sat down normally.
"You all alright?", I asked.
"Young Clark, perfect timing!", All Might laughed exiting the vehicle, "I ran into someone at the airport that is looking for you."
"For me?", I asked.
Looking at the ice blue haired girl getting out of the SUV, it took me a moment to get past how vibrant her hair was. Coming back to reality as I heard rocket coming towards us, I spun around and caught it midair a few feet from the car. Crushing it the rocket went off without hurting anyone. Seeing a man in a ninja outfit pull another missile out of some sort of portal, I was shocked to see someone with a Dimensional Storage Quirk. The military in my world had them for troops to carry equipment easier in a way that didn't strain their bodies. They usually had a capacity for a ten foot by ten foot room, but some were bigger.
'Interesting...I wonder if that man can carry living objects.', I thought.
Closing the gap between us before he could reload, I threw a knee into his face shattering his jaw. The impact threw him backwards into his comrades as they came around the corner. Ripping my shirt off I did the signature Superman move to reveal the symbol underneath. Making a quick call to make sure I was on the clock, I stated that I was with All Might.
"Alright you crazy ninja's, I don't like criminals coming around my home.", I said narrowing my eyes, "You can go to jail quietly or I can drag you there."
Getting up they ran at me, fortunately not doing the Naruto run. One of them launched a fireball at me, and another launched an iceball at me. Taking them head on followed by the explosion that came afterwards, I stood there unimpressed. The next person tried using their Quirk to bind me in place using trees and plants. Ripping them off with a shrug, the last ninja vanished from their sight, but not mine. Watching him run towards them, I appeared in front of him with arm outstretched. Slamming his throat into my arm he fell backwards gasping for air after crushing his own windpipe.
Punching him in the face to knock him out, I used my Med Bots to restore his windpipe. Looking to the other ninja's they looked rather nervous.
"Shit this isn't how this was supposed to go.", one of the men said, "Why isn't he in school!?"
"My school was partially destroyed recently.", I replied, "Now will you come quietly?"
"We have to kill her at all costs.", they said.
At that time the only person that came to mind was Eri. If these people were related to Overhaul's escape I couldn't risk Eri's safety.
"You won't touch her...", I growled, "You picked the wrong person to target...none of you are going to lay a finger on her!"
Behind me Dorothy was smiling with relief.
'He is protecting me!', she thought, 'I haven't even asked yet, and he is already saying they won't touch me!'
'How heroic!', Melissa thought thinking I was referring to Dorothy.
Pinning the man on the ground down with a car bumper, I flew at them. Swinging at the plant quirk user, they felt the air pressure and my fist hit them in the chest. Feeling their ribcage explode like a party popper inside, they watched the scenery fly by till they crashed into a cinderblock wall. Embedded nearly a foot in they were down for the count. The other two ninja's readied their next attacks, but before launching them went from looking at me to seeing my hands on their faces.
"No one is taking her!", I shouted slamming their heads into the pavement dropping the ground beneath them by half a foot.
Rendered unconscious, I gathered them up for the police. Arriving a few minutes later, I handed them over to the cops who began to load them up. Just as I thought things were over, a man covered in small boulders came barreling out of one of the empty homes behind ours like a raging bull. Turning to him I could feel the impacts of his footsteps as he increased his momentum.
"I have had about enough of all of you!", I said using my cold breath to freeze the street below him.
Losing traction the man slowed down, and a few feet from me I leapt up and bicycle kicked him. The following pressure from the move cracked the ground and shattered windows for half a block. Exploding under the pressure, the man's boulders fell to pieces firing off like grapeshot. Catching them before they did any damage, the man fainted from the impact.
'He is so cool!', Melissa thought, 'Intelligent and strong!!'
'He fought so hard for me!', Dorothy thought.
Using a street light to bind him, I handed him to the police. Once they got our statements, I called in to notify I was done.
"Next time you want to bring a party let me know.", I laughed.
"Haha of course.", All Might laughed, "Now then, this young lady is here to meet you."
Pointing to the blue haired girl, I nodded my head asking if she needed something. Pulling out a newspaper article with my picture on it, the first thing she was-
"Please help me.", she said.
"Are you ill or something?", I asked
"No...my parents were killed.", she said, "Those people...were after me."
'Oh...so they weren't here for Eri.', I thought, 'Meh oh well.'
"Why are they after you?", Melissa asked.
"I will only tell...him.", she said pointing to me.
"Come now, you can tell us. All of us can-"
"Too dangerous...you not strong enough.", she said.
Looking at her reaction, she genuinely felt he wasn't strong enough.
"Alright, you can tell me about it inside.", I said, "Do you all want to come in?"
"We should really be-", David started to say
"Yes!", Melissa said.
Looking at her daughter who smiling like crazy, David felt a cramp in his stomach.
'Oh no, not yet! Stay my cute, innocent daughter. Don't start chasing boys yet!', he thought.
Talking them inside we sat down at my dining room table to talk. Deku, who had come over today to play, came into the dining room to see when I would be coming back up. Seeing All Might in the dining room he got the phrase "All Might's here" before fainting.
"Is he going to be okay?", All Might asked.
"He's fine...he is a very big fan of yours.", I stated, "Let me put him on the couch then talk this through."
Doing just that, Dorothy introduced herself to me then started with her story. Explaining that her family were members of a shadow group that specialized in assassinations and intelligence gathering, she went into the details about what they did. Telling me that on their most recent job their employer killed her parents after they completed their work. Personally she wasn't fond of the work as she would hearing the lingering spirits of the victims crying out for help afterwards, but she did so because it made her parents happy.
"So you came all the way here from where?", I asked.
"Romania.", she said, "I sold everything I had to make the money to come here. Please help me...I don't have anywhere to go. If I go to police I will be killed, and Heroes...they won't help someone like me. I helped...kill people."
"While I can't condone the killing of innocent people, you are in trouble so I will help.", I said, "You will have to answer for your crimes though."
"I know, I will them everything I know.", she said.
"That's why those people are after you.". David said.
"...yes...", she said only looking at me.
"This is troublesome...you can't legally go to Romania to fight.", All Might said.
"Client is...well connected.", Dorothy said, "Dangerous man with many...people under him."
"Do you know his name", I asked.
"Vlad Chomsky.", she said.
"Now there's a name...", David said, "That man is bad news, the EU Hero Association won't even touch him. Last time they tried twenty Heroes died, and half a mountain was destroyed."
"He killed my parents...when he finds out I know, he will come for me.", she said clutching my hand, "I can't pay you, but please I-"
"Being a Hero comes before money in my opinion. Just because someone can't pay doesn't make their situation less dire to me.", I stated, "If you willingly give my contacts your information, I promise to ensure he won't hurt you."
Tearing up she hugged me tightly, and started to cry.
"I was so worried! All the Heroes I know...they wouldn't lift a finger without...money!", she cried, "Thank you!"
'She's right...in the face of someone like him Heroes wouldn't do it for free. Young Clark is probably one of only a few that would.', All Might thought, 'Vlad Chomsky is a bloodthirsty murderous man that would kill an orphanage full of children if it made him a profit. If Clark is going to fight him, I hope he is prepared for killing him because he won't surrender.'
"So whose your contact?", David asked.
"The Section 13 team in the USA.", I stated, "I trust them over the idiot team we had here."
"I will have to defer to your judgment.", All Might said.
"Since it's already night in their time zone we will have to leave really early morning.", I said, "You can stay here for the time being."
"Thank you!", she said bowing her head.
Telling her it was fine, I couldn't help but feel someone else's eyes resting on me. Looking to Melissa, she quickly made an introduction then started asking me about my tech. Remembering that she would grow up to be a scientist, I understood she was probably fascinated by my inventions.
"You healed Uncle Might?", she asked.
"Yes, he is healthier than ever.", I stated.
"So cool!! They said no one could heal him!!", she said with excitement, "How did you do it?"
"Nanotech.", I stated.
"Oh!! You work with Nanotech!! Uh...what's Nanotech?", she asked.
"Haha they are extremely small robots that function like the large ones. I ended up rebuilding his skeletal structure, repairing damaged organs, and then realigning his body. All of that took three days, and during that time I also did some preventative care so he can retire comfortably.", I said.
"So cool!! Can you take a look at some of the stuff I am working on?", she asked.
"Sure.", I said.
Scooting next to me she pulled out a tablet, and started showing me drawings she was working on.
'Oh no...my little girl!', David thought tearing up.
'She's in good hands if she pursues him.', All Might thought, 'Though she has stuff competition.'
Seeing the girls looking at Melissa from the doorway, he held back a grin.
"...so this device would allow travel at much greater speeds.", Melissa said finishing her explanation of her engine.
"Why not use teleportation?", I asked.
"Because that's science fiction.", she laughed.
"No it's not.", I stated.
"...What do you mean?", she asked.
"Disassembling and reassembling matter is difficult, but the teleportation I am referring to uses Subspace to transport an individual. Using Subspace will allow you to bypass the laws of physics and move someone much faster than any vehicle could.", I stated.
"...Subspace?", she asked.
"So it's a place that exist below our plane of existence. Time and space don't flow like they do here. It's possible to time travel and move locations with relative ease there.", I said.
"Tell. Me. More!!", she said grabbing my arm, "What practical uses does it have?"
"Well you could technically use it to transfer energy, light, and objects instantly since our time flow is different. Anything in Subspace doesn't age or degrade at the same rate as in our plane.", I stated.
"So you can live a lot longer there?", she asked.
"It's not good for humans to stay stuck in Sub Space. The effects can be very bad as some people pass out in subspace. You have to get in and out immediately to avoid many side effects. Roughly a minute in subspace is the equivalent of a year in our time.", I stated, "Teleportation effectively opens a portal here and one at your destination connecting the two places momentarily while you are passing through."
"So how fast could something get from us to say the moon?", she asked.
"Less than a quarter of a second if you have the tech.", I stated.
"Really!?", she gasped.
"Well the laws of physics don't apply in subspace.", I stated, "No friction or any of that. It has the ability to allow FTL, and can be used as a medium to transport energy, light, and objects."
"Does it work though?", she asked.
"That's how my wireless power works.", I stated.
Spitting up his tea her Dad looked at me with confusion.
"I thought it went through the air?", he asked.
"If I told the public it went through subspace what do you think would happen?", I asked.
"They'd...they'd panic, and say that it was dangerous.", he stated, "Like they do when something that is outside the norm comes out."
"Precisely.", I stated, "Also, I am working on a place to store villains outside of our reality in a place I call the Phantom Zone. It's a place where they can't be harmed, or harm others in."
"Hold on here!", he said with excitement, "You are saying you located a dimension like that!? How did you develop such things!?"
"Looking at and observing tachyon particles, one of the few elements in existence that exceeds the speed of light.", I stated, "We can keep the most aggressive, and murderous villains there so they are no longer a danger to the public.
"Fascinating!", he said with excitement.
'This getting to be something I can't follow.', All Might thought.
"So tell me, in your observation how do they exceed the speed of light.", he asked.
"They compress space in front of them, and push it behind them.", I stated, "Same way that Warp Technology works."
Both daughter and father gasped starting to tap the information into their tablets. Asking how I was monitoring them I stated that I was using the particle accelerator I built. Dropping their tablets both looked at me in shock.
"You mean the Wayne Tech Particle Accelerator was your brain child!?", they asked.
"As well as the fusion reactor that is currently powering the city.", I replied.
"You realize that scientists around the world are still trying to figure out how you managed to do that!", he shouted, "We have have been stuck in the early stages of fission, and you went straight to fusion!"
"I have plans on a mini black hole power generator device that could effectively power Japan on a single reactor running at only 40%.", I stated.
"How...how would you use such a device?", they asked.
"Well a Black Hole theoretically compresses light and matter into a single space. Doing this causes the electrical bonds of an object to split. If one was to capture that power, you could literally make electricity from feeding it anything like trash or CO2.", I stated.
"BRILLIANT!!!", they shouted, "How goes the process?"
"The problem is the gravitational force that they give off would crush anything you'd use to contain it...except Neutral and Anti-Matter.", I stated, "I only have a small amount of Anti-Matter at the moment so it's not enough to-"
"You...you have anti-matter!?", they shrieked, "We haven't been able to produce any anti-matter!!"
"It's quite difficult.", I stated, "Not to mention just a small amount could wipe out life on the planet."
"Wait you are holding something that dangerous?", All Might asked.
"Yes, it is under very high security. No one can reach it, I guarantee that.", I stated knowing that it was currently in orbit around Jupiter buried in the Dwarf Star part I brought.
Having used a Neutral Matter container there was no need to worry about any of it getting out.
'This child, if he is telling the truth, could be considered a prodigy. Why is he being restrained to basic courses!? His intelligence is being wasted pursuing such inconsequential matters.', David thought.
"Can you show us your lab?", Melissa asked.
"Of course.", I stated.
Moving them to my lab in a fraction of a second, Melissa and David almost had a heart attack looking at the equipment.
"What is this thing?", Melissa asked pointing to the machine that I made my clothing and other material in.
"It's effectively a printer that uses an Atomic Reassembler to make things.", I stated casually.
Dropping their tablets the father and daughter fell to their knees.
"You mean to say...it dissembles matter, and then reassembles it into anything you want?", they asked.
"Yes, I use it to make my clothing and various other things.", I stated.
"YOU USE IT TO MAKE CLOTHING!?", they shouted, "THIS IS SOMETHING SCIENTISTS WOULD DREAM OF HAVING A CHANCE JUST TO SEE!!!"
Forgetting that I was in a world that was effectively in the stone age compared to mine, I realized I made it sound like it wasn't that big of a deal. Apologizing to them I did a demonstration for them which made both of them faint from shock. Once they recovered they pointed to a much smaller machine that looked similar to the massive printer I used.
"What's this?", Melissa asked, "A laser engraver?"
"No, that is an Cellular pPrinter.", I stated.
Looking at me with confusion I went into more details. Explaining that I could grow different cells from the body, I stated that I could effectively print new replacement organs for people. Informing them that I used it to heal All Might, I then said that it was in clinical trials currently for use in hospitals.
"Something like this...you could save many lives with it.", Melissa said.
"That's my plan, my end goal is help people.", I stated, "It's why I want to be a Hero, and why I am inventing things."
'He could be making a fortune selling just one of these devices, and yet...yet he is thinking of helping others.', David thought looking around the room, 'I heard his Med Bot fees are so small that even the most poor people can afford treatment. Damn...this kid really is a the embodiment of what a Hero should be.'
Giving them a tour of the rest of my lab, I used my test machine for Subspace breaches to make a demonstration for them. Running a formula through the computer, I tossed an apple through the hole and it instantly appeared in Melissa's hand. Taking a bite of it she said it tasted just like a normal apple. Running another formula through, I jumped through and reappeared next to All Might. Looking at me David and Melissa where in shock.
"This tech..."
"I made it too get emergency aide into places immediately. I recognize that with all my power I can only be in a single place at once.", I stated, "This portal will help get aide to those I can't get too in the form of Heroes and supplies. At a moments notice I can have Heroes pouring into a location to provide aide in an instant. If a natural disaster happens I can evacuate civilians out of the area within minutes instead of hours. No matter where they are...people can get the help they need, no matter what race, gender, or religious belief they hold."
"Why would you go to such an extent?", David asked.
"You think having all this power is great, but there are drawbacks.", I stated, "My hearing allows me to hear everything around the globe from a gnat flying to a nuclear explosion. I tune it out mostly, but when I was younger I had to live with hearing people crying for help, and no one ever came. You have no idea how many nights I laid their listening to the sound of tortured people pleading for a Hero to come only to hear them be snuffed out."
'I...I never thought about that.', All Might thought, 'That would be a horrible burden to carry on anyone's shoulders, let alone a ten year olds."
"I am pushing progress forward to help as many people as I can.", I stated, "My goal isn't just a Hero License, but an International Hero License. Once I get it I will make an agency that has outreach into every country in the world. I want to ensure that as many cries for help can be answered so we don't lose more people to starvation, crime, and corruption."
"That is quite a lofty goal, but...it is a great goal to have.", David said.
'This kid...the longer I stand here I wonder...is he really a human?', David thought, 'The way he talks, and his conviction to make his dream a reality...I can't help, but want to support it.'
'The future looks bright with Young Clark make such bold goals!", All Might thought, 'If he make his dream a reality, our society can finally move in the right direction.'
'I have to help him!', Melissa thought with determination, 'It is dream that I think is achievable with him leading the charge!'
Finishing the tour of my lab, I took the group back home before the girls had a conniption with me being away with Dorothy and Melissa. I also had to make sure that Deku didn't go into a coma on my couch from his over the top reaction. That was something else that I was working on in secret...a method for cooling Bakugo down, and stopping Deku from freaking out every time All Might was mentioned.
---Two Miles Away From Wayne Manor---
Having confirmed that his group had been subdued by me, their leader and the only other member left were watching my house intently. He was sure that Dorothy was leaking all sorts of secrets to us so he would see that none of us would see tomorrow. Phoning contacts that he had in Japan, he made arrangements for their to be an accident at the mansion after he slit Dorothy's throat.
"Master Huang, what do we do about the others?", the last member asked, "Do we need to retrieve them from the police?"
"Their lives are forfeit, they are too weak to be consider assassins any longer.", the boss said, "Now get the team in position, and wait for nightfall. Leave nothing to chance, I want their throats slit."
"What about the boy? We don't have anything that cut him?", the last member asked.
"Smother him.", he replied.
"Sir...he lifted a stadium roof and a massive apartment building...", the last member said, "He will throw anyone off like a tissue."
"Then poison him.", the boss sighed.
"Uh sir...he stopped a rocket with his bare hand. No needle is going too-"
Turning around he glared at the assassin.
"He is human, find a way to kill him or it will be you that dies.", the boss hissed.
"Yes...sir.", he gulped.
