A-Train is a man of great willpower; his life philosophy is to be the best and stay on top, no matter the cost.
That mindset led A-Train to the point of using Compound V as if it were steroids. This initially worked, maintaining his title as the world's fastest man. However, everything has a price.
The first price he paid for this philosophy was not borne by him directly but by the victims who suffered because of his state of extreme euphoria and uncontrollable stimulation. Among the victims was Hugh Campbell's girlfriend, Robin Ward. Of course, this had a good outcome thanks to Allen.
A-Train's fate did not end as well as Robin's. These actions earned him enemies who would eventually take his freedom, forcing him to become a spy within Vought for them.
That wasn't all.
A-Train's philosophy also sacrificed his health, all for being a bit faster, due to the use of Compound V, his heart was pushed to the limit, nearly causing a cardiac arrest.
And it got worse for him.
The very philosophy that A-Train clung to led him to kill his girlfriend, or at least that would have happened if not for Allen's intervention and consequently, The Boys.
A-Train is a man who, despite suffering all the above, remained faithful to his philosophy: you only matter when you're on top, and he will do whatever it takes to stay there.
Enduring insults and abuses from Homelander was also part of the deal, but A-Train even endured Homelander breaking his leg. People might think A-Train is a fool for enduring that, but that's the price of being on the Elite Team, among the greats... Starlight couldn't accept that and left him.
Deep was someone like A-Train, after all, he ate his friend/lover to remain among the Seven. This mentality that glorifies their position in the Seven wasn't entirely their fault; it was Vought's. They created the Seven to be the golden throne, making every Supe feel that being there was the ultimate aspiration in their lives.
The Seven are like the Oscars for actors, the Nobel for scientists, or the world championship belt for a boxer.
To humiliate, betray, kill, suffer... what more would one be willing to do?
Everything, at least for A-Train, is like that; he is up for anything.
...
A-Train left the hospital and saw his brother Nathan Franklin waiting for him.
"What are you doing here?"
"I came to see you, Reggie... tell me, how did it go?"
"I..." For a moment, A-Train was tempted to lie, but this was his brother, "I'm not well, they say my heart might stop if I push it too hard."
"Are you still on that blue shit?"
"No, brother, that's over, I'm clean now."
"That's good to hear; hey, why don't you come visit the kids?"
Nathan had decided to leave Vought after seeing its true face, which meant no longer being A-Train's trainer. But A-Train didn't take it to heart because deep down he knew Nathan was right to leave Vought, but he had come up from the bottom, from a rough neighborhood, from a life of want. Now he was on top, and he wasn't about to give that up.
...
A-Train went to his brother's house, they sat on the porch drinking beer.
A-Train watched as his nephews Khamari and Desean arrived. Both saw their uncle as a hero. But Nathan knew the truth and he didn't like that.
After talking for a while, they discussed Blue Hawk, a super who was known for his racism, acting like a cop in the neighborhoods, and known for his brutality.
In the news, he justified the death of a young man who he claimed had attacked a woman. However, Nathan knew the boy and he was a good kid.
"Brother, you need to speak up."
"Me?"
"Yes, you, you're in the Seven, you can't let people like him go unpunished."
"I'm A-Train, I'm like Michael Jordan, not Malcolm X!"
Nathan looked at his brother, knowing it was true. A-Train was a commercial figure, a movie hero, not a real one, yet he could still do the right thing, Nathan thought, disappointed in what A-Train had become.
...
(A-Train got its priorities wrong, unlike Allen 🍷🗿)
...
A-Train left his brother's house after an awkward goodbye.
He knew his brother disliked his response and went to talk to Ashley to get an apology, and after a lot of talking, he managed it.
He gathered the relatives of the murdered boy, the protesters, and his brother at the community center to watch this.
Blue Hawk is also a slave to Vought; if they tell him to apologize, he will, but not out of conscience or remorse.
People realized that Blue Hawk's apology was anything but sincere and began to protest. A-Train tried to stop it, but it was too late; Blue Hawk lost his head and started attacking everyone, including his brother, who was thrown hard.
A-Train looked at his brother's prone body on the ground, not knowing if he was alive or dead...
He sacrificed another important thing to stay on top...
...
A couple of weeks later, overwhelmed by guilt, A-Train went to see his brother; there he was with his children in a wheelchair, and Nathan would never walk again.
When A-Train approached, he realized things were not as he expected.
"Sorry bro, I tried to stop all this...I"
"Your rescues were never real. You never saved anyone. Yet here you are, lying to your own blood," Nathan spoke to his children, "I told you. Your uncle is no hero. And I don't want you near him. Let's go."
A-Train knew the reason for his brother's anger, Blue Hawk had not been charged with anything after hurting all those people, and he did nothing.
A-Train had lost the relationship with his blood family; this realization filled him with resentment against Blue Hawk, and he went looking for him.
"It's okay..."
A-Train tried to convince himself that this also made sense and that it was worth it.
...
A-Train looked at the house of the TNT Twins, the bastard Blue Hawk was here. Upon entering, the orgy was at its peak, the house of the twins seemed smaller on the outside, or maybe it was because of the number of people.
A-Train saw in a room Blue Hawk practicing sadomasochism; this image sickened him, his brother needed help going to the bathroom, and Blue Hawk was at a damn orgy.
A-Train felt his insides burn with anger, but when he was about to confront them, A-Train's face fell; he saw Allen enter the house.
A-Train felt a great chill, he had sworn never to get in his way, and that's why he never appeared where Allen was.
In a panic, A-Train entered a room and was covered by a bucket of white liquid in massive quantities.
"Hehehe~ looks like he liked it~"
"Oh, sorry brother!~"
The mockery of a man and the laughter of a woman entered the ears of an A-Train covered in white liquid.
Elsewhere, MM felt chills as if something terrifying had happened. It seems that A-Train received the "prize" that was originally meant for him.
The woman who was in bed with the man made two extra arms appear from under her arms, it was like the red alien from Ben Ten or Sukuna, "What's up, man, don't you want to join?~" she said flirtatiously.
A-Train wanted to escape from that cursed place. Meanwhile, Harley acted like a curious little girl in an aquarium.
"Daddy, what's that?"
"I don't know, a piñata with drugs inside..."
"Daddy, what's that?!"
"A naked man hanging upside down..."
A-Train heard the voice of the devil and no longer knew if it was worse to stay inside or outside the room.
...
Allen entered unknown territory; the first thing he saw was a man dressed in bunny clothes serving drinks, he approached Allen.
"Hello gorgeous boy, would you like a drink? We have several special mixes, Jack The Ripper 46, Ground Zero XX, Fallen Angel Omega, and my Mount St. Helens 666, that guarantee to blow your mind... unless you die of an overdose first. Hahaha just kidding. We're supers, we don't die from something like that..."
"..."
Soopdog – WTF? I don't recognize any of those drinks, and I have a PhD in this shit...
Harley tilted her head suspiciously, "Hey, I haven't heard of any of those names are you trying to scam us?!"
"Huh? No, of course not, darling~" the man? Laughed covering his mouth "These are special for supes, remember many have a high resistance and alcohol and you know the normal stuff doesn't affect them much... that's why we need stronger drinks"
"Oh!" Harley's eyes sparkled.
"No thanks!" Allen grabbed Harley's hand which was about to grab a drink.
"Tsk..." Harley puffed out her cheeks.
Allen was unfazed, "No tsk, do you want me to send you home?"
"No! Sorry, Daddy!~"
The man licked his lips "Oh~ so you like role-playing, I can be your mommy~"
Allen grabbed the hands of Harley and Maeve and left.
...
"Daddy, what is that?"
Allen responded to Harley's and the Chat's inquiries with a robotic voice.
"It's a drink tower... with something that's not a drink."
The music, the smell, the sounds from the rooms, and the general vibe of the place were very uncomfortable. There were naked people and strangely dressed people everywhere. There were people in mascot outfits, people using their powers in strange ways.
Allen used his shield to block liquids splashing from all sides, honestly starting to feel nauseous.
Maeve shook her head, "Allen, we should find Tessa and get out of here fast..."
"Yes..."
Nikky – What's that?
"It's a... female comfort device shaped like... I don't want to answer..."
MJ – What are these guys doing?
"They are three guys sitting on a sofa blowing up condoms to test the durability of the best one..."
Starfire – What are those guys doing?, I can't see through the mosaic.
"It's better that you don't know..."
Rick – *Burp* I'll answer them; the couple in the corner is doing a 7; in the kitchen, there's a 71 and a 69; on the hallway floor, a 42 and 56. In the bathroom, a 3 and a 9..."
Allen slapped his own forehead, "Rick... be quiet!"
Rick – *Shrugs*
Allen opened the door where A-Train was and saw the previous couple, feeling nauseous because the room was covered in mysterious liquids.
Allen pursed his lips, resisting the urge to replicate the effect of a thermobaric bomb in this place.
[Skill Acquired: Production/Control of Bodily Fluids]
[Skill Acquired: Phantom Limbs...]
JackSparrow – Hahaha
Allen cursed the world for allowing such absurd powers to exist.
[Host, the use of each power depends on the user]
Allen did not respond to the system and placed the fluid control ability on the screens.
[Yes... well... sorry]
Humans are creative creatures, but sometimes that creativity can be dangerous and unpleasant. Initially, no one would think that the power to shrink could be used to crawl into people's rectums. But there you have Termite.
Allen's eyes narrowed as he saw too many horrendous things and decided to strip these degenerates of their powers.
[Skill Acquired: Tentacle Arms]
[Skill Acquired: Slime Transformation]
[Skill Acquired: Limb Growth]
[Skill Acquired: Organ Duplication]
[Skill Acquired: Aphrodisiac Sweat]
[Skill Acquired: Sense Amplification]
[Skill Acquired: Clones]
[Skill Acquired: Malleable Body]
'System, convert all skills I acquire here into fragments!'
[But Host, there are some that...]
'I can't imagine anything good coming from all this!'
[Understood, but if I may, the fluid production skill is useful for recovering lost blood! Plus, the Sense Amplification can be used not only for pleasure but also to enhance pain in your enemies!]
'FINE, KEEP THOSE TWO BUT DESTROY THE REST!'
[Understood!]
Allen ignored the collective laughter of his Chat.
[I.M.] "Just so you know, I've destroyed those skills so don't expect me to use them."
Donna – Can't be :(
Aphrodite – But :"(
Emma Frost – Urgh... okay, I understand...
(These girls need a cold water bath 🍷🗿)
One of Allen's eyebrows twitched as he heard the voices of disappointment from some of the girls.
The couple on the bed immediately noticed the changes; the arms of the woman with several cosmetic surgeries disappeared and the man suddenly lost his overstimulated muscles, appearing much thinner.
Allen left the room after knocking the two unconscious, proceeded to strip more powers, and gradually the house fell silent.
Finally, in the last room was Tessa, terrified, clutching a revolver as she aimed it at the door. Allen entered with a weary look after witnessing the hell.
"Stay back!"
Maeve, familiar with the darker side of this world, was less affected; Harley felt like they were in an amusement park, while Allen was the most affected and was glad that Bocchi and Nokotan were forbidden to come.
As for Allen's viewers, they went from laughter to disgust after witnessing the most perverse fetishes of the people. Allen wouldn't soon forget the memory of having seen the parody of Beast Boy turned into a giant octopus with a harem of muscular men.
"Tessa TNT, I have no patience right now so either surrender or I'll make you regret it..."
Seeing Allen's deathly glare, even Harley knew they had pushed Allen too far.
Tessa dropped her gun to the ground and raised her hands.
"...!"
Allen's spider sense activated, and he created an energy shield to protect Maeve and Harley.
Behind the wall, a huge wave of radiation incinerated Tessa instantly and pierced through the house. Allen heard various screams from the Supes who had been injured.
Soldier Boy entered through the hole, smoking as he surveyed what had happened.
"Hello, boy," said Soldier Boy, then looking at what was left of Tessa on the ground, only her feet remained. "Sorry, I didn't make her suffer more."
Allen frowned, "Old man, I wouldn't let you go this time..."
"Haha, don't worry, I have no intentions of escaping this time..."
Along with Soldier Boy, two figures landed with superhero landings.
The stars-and-stripes cape fluttered as Homelander stood up.
"I always dislike seeing you, brat," said Homelander.
On the other side, Sam looked at Allen with uncontrollable anger, "WHERE'S THE BLONDE BITCH?!"
Allen narrowed his eyes dangerously, "Careful with your words Sam Riordan... might be the last thing you say if you call my wife that."
Allen expanded an electromagnetic field while the atmosphere grew tense.
"I remember this scene... only it seems it will be a three versus one against me instead of against Homelander..."
Amid the electromagnetic field, small flashes of compressed energy and spatial ripples appeared.
"I hope this isn't your final move because I'd be disappointed!"
Allen seemed like a monster, yet the gaze of his three opponents showed no fear as if they were expecting something.
Allen stayed alert, 'What are you planning, Stan Edgar?...'
...
...
...
King Gilgamesh sat on his throne as usual and sighed. Despite what others might say, she is not a tyrant and always strives to do her best for her people. However, lately, she has found it difficult to concentrate on her responsibilities.
"Hey, you bastard!"
Outside, she heard the shouts of a girl who seemed very annoyed. Recognizing the voice, Gilgamesh frowned.
"The goddesses are so annoying... no, Artoria is someone worthy of respect, why can't you be sane like her?"
"Hehe, Your Majesty, do you wish for me to speak with her?" said Gilgamesh's right-hand man Siduri.
"No, let her in and see what she wants..."
...
Before Gilgamesh's throne appeared a girl floating; her attire was similar to a bikini, but adorned with gold, her long black hair tied in two braids, and her red eyes.
The blonde beauty asked from her throne, "So that's your new avatar, Ishtar?"
She was Ishtar, also known as Inanna, Mistress of Heaven, or the goddess of Venus.
This time, she has a humorous story; she fell in love with Gilgamesh without knowing she was a woman. Upon finding out, she felt humiliated and since then has harbored an absurd grudge against Gilgamesh.
She usually uses avatars, women she possesses, to step into the earthly world. Each time she descends, she seeks out Gilgamesh to avenge her humiliation, however, Gilgamesh defeats her and sends her back to the heavens each time.
"Shut up! This time I will defeat you for deceiving me!"
"It wasn't my fault you were too stupid to notice!"
"Everyone, including you, calls you King and not Queen, IT'S NOT MY FAULT!"
Gilgamesh felt a headache coming on. How could she be so unlucky?
"Silence, Goddess!, you are not worthy of my love or my time!"
"I want neither! I only seek revenge!"
Gilgamesh summoned a golden book. Ishtar grew nervous, but this time, she did not attack because she received a notification that Allen had started streaming again.
Her crimson eyes lit up, and her lips curved before she sat back down. At that moment, the golden queen completely ignored the goddess Ishtar.
"What's wrong with her?..." Ishtar landed awkwardly on the ground.
"Hee Hee~ our King behaves like this when her admired person appears~" said Siduri, approaching Ishtar.
"Huh?! That crazy one who thinks she's superior to the gods?! Who picks fights with every deity she encounters and has an ego as high as the sky has an idol?!"
Siduri just laughed. Ishtar remained confused for a long while, unable to believe what she had heard. She tried to peek at the screen in front of Gilgamesh but received a strong surge of bloodlust.
Ishtar got scared; no matter how many times she annoyed Gilgamesh, she was only treated as a nuisance, but this time she received real hostility.
"Goddess, I'll say this only once, if he ever comes to this world, I forbid you from approaching him. He is not someone a bitch like you is worthy of meeting, and this goes for any goddess!"
The threat from this Yandere Queen was clear and direct.
Ishtar nodded quickly and fled from Uruk. However, despite the fear that Gilgamesh had instilled in her, she couldn't help but be curious.
"I have to know who is capable of making that arrogant crazy woman so obsessed. But I'd be killed if I went alone... I might need help. Maybe I'll end up involving other goddesses..."
Ishtar decided to visit her older sister, Ereshkigal, and tell her the gossip.
