Author: Sorry I am having a high fever. I will rest for a while. Enjoy this chapter.
***************************
On Mars, the atmosphere is 95% carbon dioxide. People thought it'll be hot there, but the atmosphere cannot retain heat from the sun, thus the planet is becoming cold at night.
In the middle of the deserted planet, Ryan's biodome is the only place that has a source of food, water, and controllable temperature. It is inhibitable on the outside.
In the Marvel Universe, Mars used to be a place where civilization thrived hundreds of thousands of years ago. Now, it is a dead planet.
Smoke is coming out from the broken wings of the spaceship. Something tried to enter, but whatever it was, it didn't manage to pry open the door of the spaceship.
"Ryan, what are we going to do?" Gwen's hand shakes a little. Her heart feels like it is going to burst out of her chest. The thought of being stranded here forever is quickly taking over her mind.
" We need to populate the planet. Can you pump out 100 children Gwen? " Ryan said seriously.
"What?" Her mind shuts down for a moment trying to process the statement.
"Pfff" He couldn't hold on to his laugh. "Relax Gwen, I can fix the spaceship. I already know about the other race here. Don't worry about it. For now, it is not hostile."
It seems that breaking the spaceship is an accident. Ryan knows there is a ship that crash-landed on the planet a month ago. He does make them able to get food from the biodome, but if they stay there too long, the biodome security will be activated and they will be shot at.
It seems that they had learned the mechanism after a few deaths. They quickly came and went from the dome, and returned to their camp after getting what they wanted.
"You jerk." Gwen cursed in a low voice.
"Come on, don't worry too much about it. Do you want to take a ride in the red planet desert?" He still has the landspeeder in his inventory.
She asks questions about the creatures there. After all, this is her first encounter with an alien race.
" Why don't you help them when you know about their situation?" She couldn't help but feel Ryan is a little cold.
"Because there is a strict law in the universe that a high-level civilization couldn't share their technology with a lower-level one's." The human is the latter in the statements.
Ryan didn't want to involve himself in the alien's matter. If he does that, then he will open the earth for the universe's civilization. Earth still couldn't handle that.
'The chitauri is a different matter entirely,' He holds that thought from Gwen.
Gwen still thinks they should help. " Wouldn't they die out here if we didn't help?"
"You greatly underestimated the universe, Gwen. Some creatures, don't need the food as humans need. For some races, their food is human."
" Right now, they didn't attack us because they are wary about our technology. What if they find out we are from a primitive civilization? I can guarantee that their behavior will change drastically compared to how they are now. " He said sternly, then he pulled her back to the research lab.
She is very kind, and he loves that about her. But sometimes, kindness is a sin in the universe. RetiredMechanic had sternly warned him about it. You need to make sure that you didn't help the wrong person.
"Don't focus on them. If they come and ask for help, then I will help them. If not, just ignore them." Their seedlings that were planted in the planet's soil have begun sprouting. Gwen is looking at the research in excitement!
"Too bad the environment is still a challenge for the plant to thrive. Otherwise, humans can have another planet for us to live on." She says while sighing.
That is what Ryan had planned. To find another planet for humans. 'If the earth is an egg for the celestial Tiamat to be born, then I don't want to leave our face on the Eternal only.'
The movie is still giving him nightmares. Even in this life. The couple returned to their normal routines. Picnic in nature, research in the lab, go sightseeing and find traces of a large body of water on the planet.
Gwen is sitting beside Ryan in the landspeeder. A cloud of dust can be seen when he passes an area. He and Gwen are wearing only an oxygen mask without their full spacesuit. Both are wearing fur coats as the wind is cold.
"Damn. What happened to the planet?" He mutters. By his observation, it seems like the planet suddenly became a dead planet. They returned home after waving at the Curiosity Rover.
"When are you going to fix the spaceship?" Gwen asks. She didn't worry about him not being able to fix it, but he keeps postponing his work and jumping toward her instead.
"As much as I enjoyed it, I will enjoy it a little better with peace in my mind, " She banned him from getting near her until he fixed the spaceship. It had been two days since the ship was broken.
Dejected, Ryan takes his toolbox and drags his body to the spaceship. He only needs to repair the wings. With magic, he can do it in minutes. With mechanical work, hours. But he purposely delayed his work.
He did not fix the spaceship right away to see the creature's reaction. However, it seems that they have been staying low. They won't even come near the biodome after the incident.
"Your target is the ship, but you give up after one failure? How did the species survive if they kept giving up immediately after something didn't work?" Ryan mocked.
As he said, different races work in their ways. The creatures who want the ship, It's not that they are giving up. But right now, all of them are sleeping as the broken remains of their spaceship lose their heating power, making all of them fall to sleep due to their reptilian nature. It needed a few days to be recharged before the creatures could wake up again.
" Ryan, do you want PB&J or Croque Monsieur?" Gwen yelled from the cabin kitchen.
"Of course the Croque Monsieur!" He yelled back from beside the spaceship. A minute later, a delicious smell is coming out of the cabin. Gwen comes out of the place wearing an apron and holding a plate.
"Here. If you finish the spaceship today, then I will come out wearing only the apron." She teases before she goes back in. Ryan is looking at her backside and imagining it with Gwen's promise.
"Damn, I want to drag it out. But…" He contemplated the issues greatly. On one hand, he can wait for the alien to make a move, on the other hand,... Gwen in a naked apron.
He rolled in the grass while thinking. "Hmm, I decided!"
After only a few minutes, the spaceship is now fixed! "Hmm, should I return to Earth? Kai is in trouble right now. I shouldn't stay here too long, " he mutters. Even though it is almost a week ago since Kai meets the Purple Man, the incident is still ongoing.
…
In New York, Earth. A week ago.
Phil Coulson is compiling data about recent cases of young girls being violated, and cases about someone who acted against their will. There are only a few, but he sees a pattern in them.
He didn't work together with Kai. The doctor said that if he found the suspect, then he should contact him. "The threat is at level 5 as it is suspected to be a superpower. Proceed with caution." Phil said to the agents around him. Natasha is focusing on meeting with Ryan as per Phil's orders, so she is not involved in this operation.
Kai is working at the clinic as usual. He is closing the shop a little early today. It is now 6.00 pm. The nightlife in New York is just starting.
"Skye said she is going to Ava's house today and will be back a little later. I should text her to be careful." Kai mumbles. He is now in his sweatpants, sitting on the sofa.
He pops open a can of beer and is watching TV. Many would think he is just relaxing, and many would be right. He is relaxing because all the work to find Kilgrave is handled by ALBUS and the Red Queen.
"I could only refer to my memories to guess what Kilgrave would look like. The AI's is running facial matches and suspicious behavior around the city."
He is now waiting for the result. At this time, a certain brunette is walking around the city, trying to find a crime to stop.
She hasn't thought about what superhero name she will use." Trish said a superhero name is necessary," she mumbles. She is feeling a little helpless as she has no idea what to name herself.
Jessica is debuting as a hero. She let her pretty face bare, without any mask. Her curly black hair isn't tied up, and she is wearing a scarf on her neck. Her clothes aren't exactly fashionable, it seems like something Skye would always wear.
She walks around the block, and finally, she sees a crime is happening. A group of thugs is surrounding a young Asian girl with black hair and is carrying a laptop bag. She dresses eerily similar to Jessica, minus the scarf.
"Come on baby girl. I'll give you 10 bucks for a sucky-sucky. That's all your kind is good for, isn't it? Hahaha," the thugs are insulting the Asian girl by insinuating she is a hooker.
"I will give you last warning. Piss off, " the girl said coldly. The thug laughs hearing her warning.
"What are you going to do? Kung-fu us to death?" They laugh mockingly at the Asian girl. The pipsqueak dared to warn them. They will make sure she begged them later on.
Those thugs greatly irk the girl. She decided. All of these guys will stay at the hospital tonight. 'Consider it a lesson.' But before she could attack, another black-haired girl with a scarf, around her height, is stepping into the crowd.
"Can you even afford 10 bucks? You guys look like a homeless man." Jessica instigated.
"What do you say!" thug1# punches at Jessica, which she dodges by ducking and punches him in the stomach. Her strength makes the thug fly to the alley wall.
"Get Her!" The other thugs scream. 6 people are now surrounding the girls. Skye sighs. "I can do it by myself you know"
Jessica is a little surprised. "That didn't matter now isn't it?" she said while smirking. Skye takes out 3 guys while Jessica is struggling with the other 3. She is strong, but her skill is barely any.
They worked together surprisingly well. "Duck" Skye ordered Jessica. She complied instantly. The thug who is swinging his bat at Jessica missed. Skye jumped and knees the thug in the face, breaking a few teeth.
In minutes, they had taken out all of the thugs there. Before they can say anything to each other, applause is heard from the sidewalk.
"All right! Yes!" *applause* A British man greatly enjoyed the performance. Skye suddenly finds her mind blurry.
'What is going on?' She looks at the other girl, it seems like the girl is daydreaming. But inside the girl's mind, it is screaming.
"That was absolutely tremendous. I thought I was good. Heh~" The British man has two models on his arm. However, he is focusing on Jessica and Skye instead.
"You girls are a sight to behold." He is smitten by the girls. Especially the ones with the scarf.
"Isn't she amazing? Yeah? You bore me. Go on." He dismissed the models. He has a new target now. In the alley, only he is talking. Others couldn't talk unless he allows them to.
"Here I am just debating what to eat, and there you are. Just performing feats of heroism"
"Come here, let me look at you. Come on" He called the girls. The duo walks toward him, while their mind is desperately trying to control back their bodies.
"Jesus, look at you. The hair, the skin. Appalling sense of fashion, but that can be remedied." He thought that the girls can be better.
"And underneath it all, the power. Just like me. Though not quite as good, of course. " This is the first time he has seen someone else with a superpower.
"Tell me, did you enjoy beating those thugs?" He asks Jessica.
"Yes."
"Yeah? Why?"
"Because I helped someone. I made a difference." Jessica answered honestly. She wanted to make a difference as V does.
"Well, how noble. What's your name?"
"Jones. Jessica Jones."
"No no no no, your superhero name. You must have one."
"Just Jessica Jones."
"Really? Rather prosaic, but it's fine.Fine, Jessica Jones, Fine."
"And you? What's your name?" He asked the Asian.
"Skye. Skye Vera."
"Are you a superhero too Skye?"
"No. I was just walking home." She answered. To have her body do the things the man said is very disgusting. She wants to break free! Alas, she didn't know-how.
"No, you're not. You're coming with me to eat Chinese food. You too. You guys like Chinese food." He commanded the girls to accompany him. Not only Jessica, but Skye is also under his control.
Inside the apartment in Hell's Kitchen. Kai is still drinking beer. "Skye is late. What is she doing? "
Side story 9: Summer Vacation.
"Gwen, did you tell anyone our address?" Ryan asks, puzzled.
"No, why?" She replied.
"Well, a kid from Danville writes me a letter asking if I want to build a rollercoaster with him." He is reading a letter written with a pencil. The handwriting is surely that of a kid.
Ryan shrugged his shoulders. But he couldn't hold his curiosity from spilling. He drives to the place, a small town on the outskirts. There, he meets the writer of the letter.
"Hi, I am Phineas. This is my brother Ferb. We are inviting you to the fun of a lifetime!!" A 12-year-old kid with a triangular head and orange hair, and his brother, a 13-year-old with a rectangular head and green hair, welcomed Ryan to see their creations.
"OH MY GOD!" Ryan sees the 100-meter tall roller coaster tracks that cover the whole city. He becomes so excited to ride the roller coaster that he forgot to ask about their parents.
"But first, before we proceed." Phineas took out a guitar. "It's time for the theme song!"
♩♪♬♩♪♬ "There's a hundred and four days of summer vacation
Then school comes along just to end it
So the annual problem for our generation
Is finding a good way to spend it."
Ryan thought while clapping. 'This shit is a banger!' He likes the kid's duo. And the platypus.
"Like maybe...
Building a rocket
Or fighting a mummy
Or climbing up the Eiffel Tower"
Ryan: "Discovering something that doesn't exist"
Phineas: Hey!
"Or giving a monkey a shower
Surfing tidal waves
Creating nanobots
Or locating Frankenstein's brain"
Phineas: It's over here!
Ryan sees someone coming toward them when the boys are singing. It is a teenage girl with blonde hair.
"Because Phineas and Ferb are gonna do it all!"
Candace: Mom! Phineas and Ferb are making a title sequence!
The girl finally notices Ryan. "Oh my..." She is frozen. Literally. There is ice enveloping her entire body.
Ferb pushes Candace away, leaving drag marks on the soil.
Phineas: She becomes frozen every time she meets someone she likes. Don't worry about it. Come, I'll show you the rollercoaster.
While Ryan is having fun with the boys. A girl of a similar age walks to Phineas.
"Whatcha doin'?" Isabella comes over to see what her crush is up to now.
While they are frolicking around, the platypus is nowhere to be seen.
Ryan gets a notification on his disaster alert app. He hides behind a bush and multiplies himself using shadow clones. The shadow clone then turned into his Eclipse persona and disappeared!
"Who wants to go first?" Phineas said while unveiling the finished track. The track's height is even taller than the building there. Even Ryan gulps, but his hand is raised together with the kids. Ferb is celebrating silently. The kids around the town and Ryan is sitting on the rollercoaster.
Phineas is explaining the safety measures. But he gives up as the ride is now starting. The rollercoaster climbs up to 200 meters tall! And it dropped!
"AAAAA" The rider is now screaming. Except for Phineas and Ferb who is excited. The strong wind and fast speed push Ryan's face back, making it extremely ugly. He can barely open his eyes.
The rollercoaster moves upside down, sideways up, sideways down, loop the loop, and many more. A bucket of snakes is dropped on the riders.
"Relax, it's just rubber snakes," Phineas said.
"No... Not the mud bucket!" Ryan screams. The ride entered a big bucket of mud. All of them are now dirty.
Then, they stopped by a car wash. All of them are now clean again. "Aaaa" the ride continues, with tracks all around the city.
In Danville, a scientist named Dr.Doofenshmirtz had just finished his new invention. Suddenly, a figure of a man appears in his lab.
"You're not Perry." He said while activating the security protocol. He pushes a big red button on the wall, and Eclipse's hand and leg are now caught and he is suspended in the air.
Before Doofenshmirtz could monologue, another door is slammed open. Both Eclipse and the Doctor's attention is on the creature who just enters.
Both: "... a platypus?"
The blue platypus then puts on a hat.
Both (shocked): PERRY THE PLATYPUS?!
Doofenshmirtz quickly activated the same security protocol and tied up the platypus too.
"Too bad Perry the platypus. You're too late. With my invention, I will reverse the rotation of the Earth. With my Magnetism Magnif-inator! MUAHAHAHA. Unless they give me money! "
"And then what?" Eclipse asks.
"I don't know. I never made it that far. Maybe I will take the money and invest it in…. Aa... Aa… real estate?" Doofenshmirtz said puzzled.
"Enough from you. This is about me and the platypus!" Doofenshmirtz doesn't know who the guy is. He only knows that Perry is his mortal enemy.
Perry notices a stray screw on the ground. He kicked it using his free tail and it hit Doofenshmirtz's leg. *Perry's theme song is playing.*
"Oww! " Doofenshmirtz screams and holds his leg. His instability standing with only one leg makes him stagger and hit the release button with his buttock.
"Too late. Now watch as I tear the Eastern seaboard from its place!" After he fights the platypus, Doofenshmirtz activates the magnet. Eclipse is just eating popcorn while watching the show. He didn't need to get involved. He already knows the invention won't work.
" Dude, you know a duck? " He asks Perry.
" *Platypus sound* (You mean Howard? Didn't see him for a long time. You're not going to help? )"
"No, you got this."
The magnet shoots an electromagnetic pulse to the city. However, it only attracted the tin foil Phineas uses to cover up the roller coaster track. Now, there is 2 ton of tinfoil ball, moving at 200 miles per hour to their position.
"It's no use. We are doomed!" Doofenshmirtz screams while trying to redirect the magnet. Eclipse helps at this time. He brings the magnet and the platypus to the sky.
"You've saved us random man and Perry the platypus!" Doofenshmirtz is thankful. However, the inertia of the tinfoil still makes it hit the building, and him with it.
"Curse you Perry the Platypus and random man!" He yelled as he falls to the ground. But he is okay. No injuries whatsoever.
At this time, Candace is thawed. She looks outside and sees the kids riding on the rollercoaster.
"Uuu…Uuu… Mooooom!" Finally, she can bust the kids. She already forgets about the billionaire that comes earlier. She goes and drags her mother outside.
At this time, the magnet is attached to the rollercoaster tracks. "What the hell. Urgh" Eclipse is struggling to move the magnet away, but instead, the tracks are moving with him. He had no choice but to bring the tracks to the outskirts.
Candace brings her mother out. "See?" the tracks are right there on the lawn. There is no chance her mother wouldn't see it.
"Okay, I give up. What am I supposed to be looking at?" Her mother said after looking around for a while.
"Noo, it's not possible!" Candace screams.
The ride is now over. Ryan had made sure that the rollercoaster wouldn't stray from the tracks. It ends perfectly.
"Do invite me if you guys are doing something fun again." He gives Phineas his contact number.
"Sure will Mr. Knight," Phineas replied excitedly. Ryan crouched and whisper to Phineas's ears. "By the way. I think Isabella has a crush on you." He smirks and walked away, leaving the red-faced boy alone.
"What did he say to you?" Isabella approaches Phineas.
"No-no-Nothing" If he did it on his own, maybe he will realize her feeling when he is going to college. Ryan is amused seeing the kid's reaction.
"There you are, Perry. Where have you been?" Phineas quickly holds Perry in his arm. He is too shy to face Isabella now.
Perry: *platypus sound.* (The End)
