After Naruto made the introduction to Odin, the All Father looked over Joe, Caitlin, and Iris, and he was impressed with Caitlin's ability to persevere in her profession as a doctor after losing her father and fiance.
He saw Joe as a credit to his species, a man with no special abilities and still put his life on the line to protect and serve his city and loved his family.
With Iris he saw that she was very courageous and headstrong like Naruto. He didn't know how far that courage extended but he was intent on finding out.
Earth, Malibu, CA
Cisco stormed up the stairs of his mother's house and knocked on the door, "Francisco? What time is it?" Cisco's mom asked holding her robe closed
Cisco walked into the house and turned to face his mother, before he pulled out an old picture of him as a newborn in the hospital with Heimdall and his mother, "You told mi papa to stay away from me?"
Cisco's mother looked at Cisco's angry visage in shock, "Y-you dont understand-"
"Understand what? How you lied to me for my entire life? How you have made me live in Dante's shadow how nothing I've ever done was good enough for you." Cisco asked angry
"He would've taken you away from me. I couldn't lose you, Cisco."
"Well you did.' Cisco said
Shaking his head, Cisco walked away and when his mother reached for his arm he moved it away before he slammed the door behind him, causing her to fall to her knees and cry
Caitlin's Apartment
Caitlin was sitting in a chair, looking at the moon, the trip to Asgard was surreal, she now knew that the world was much bigger then she gave it credit for. She had seen how advanced the medical technology was and wanted to work on something similar and she was envious of how strong the women of Asgard was, and she wanted to be as strong and respected as they were
Few Days Later
Naruto and Iris walked out the theater with Iris eating her medium sized bucket of popcorn, "That was one of the worst movies I've ever seen." Naruto sighed
"You didn't even pay attention to it. You were too busy picking up numbers." Iris said
"It was either that or falling asleep." Naruto smirked
"So are you going to call any of them?" Iris asked
"Naw. So how are you doing with our recent field trip?
"It was amazing. I wish we could've stayed longer."
"Well Cisco needed to confront his mother." Naruto shrugged
"How is he doing?"
"He's still processing it. When he's ready to ask anything I'll tell him.'
"Speaking if asking, I have a question.' Iris smiled, causing Naruto to raise an eyebrow, "Since you're real, does that mean the Olympians are?"
Naruto frowned, "Unfortunately." He said
"Why unfortunately?" Iris asked
"Zeus and Hades ambushed and killed my grandfather." Naruto said, causing Iris to look at him in shock, "There was one guy though."
Flashback, Africa, 993 AD
Naruto watched with a smile as his clones drew seals on the meteorite of vibranium, as every scrap of the meteorite was inscribe in his seal he sealed it away, before he turned with his arms in a X as he was hif with a blast of ice that froze him and the surrounding herbs before fire erupted around him,
Fire burned down trees and herbs causing Naruto to frown as he saw Byleistr, and Helblindi sons of Laufey King of the Frost Giants backed with fire demons
"Byleistr, Helblindi, long way from home." Naruto said
"Return the sword Asgardian." Helblindi demanded
"Make me.' Naruto smirked his eyes glowing white
The Fire demons screeched and rushed Naruto who raised his arms and pulled water from the atmosphere to create constructs of the 9 Bijuu that rushed and drowned the fire demons before the water became ice
Naruto quickly leaned to the side as Helbindi attacked with axe that Naruto recognized from an old God of War game and he continued to make sure the axe didn't touch him, as Helbindi shattered the ice and jumped at Naruto as he caught the returning axe
Sensing Byleistr behind him, Naruto vanished with a yellow flash as the Leviathan axe and Ice sword slammed atop of each other where he used to be, appearing above them with a true seeking orb that he had extend and stab through their weapons reducing them to ash
Lashing out with a kick, Nnaruto sent the two stumble away before with a wave of his hand sent Mjolnir flying into the back of the stumbling Byleistr as he charged at Helbindi and punched him in the face before he was punched in the gut and as he was flying up he grabbed Helbindi's head then flipped and tossed him high into the sky,
Flying after the Frost Giant, Naruto punched him sending him flying into the distance, as he pursued
Byleistr was being pushed through the air by Mjolnir at an extremely fast speed before the hammer suddenly flew away from him and his brother slammed into him,
Naruto caught Mjolnir and slammed it onto Helbindi's head sending the two into a village, running through hand seals, as storm clouds appeared around him and he mentally created clones to take the people to a safe zone, Naruto flew down and landed in front of Helbindi and Byleistr as they tried to get up but with a deafening roar lightning burst from his mouth and stunned them before a lightning construct of Gyuuki fell from the heavens and slammed into them
Boom!
The land shook as Naruto looked at the remains of the two Princes of Jotunheim with a scoff he turned to ducked and rolled from a battle axe stabbing into the ground where he was previously when he saw the hulking form of Ares who glared at him,
"Asgardian.'
'Olympian, let me leave and you won't die." Naruto said before he leaned to the side as Ares threw a dagger at his head and shoulder tackled him, Flipping to land on his feet, he looked at Ares annoyed,
"Yo-"
Whatever Ares had to say, Naruto didn't care as diplomacy was out the window, he appeared and slammed his knee into Ares' face causing him to stumble back, as Naruto landed but soon as he did a kick to Ares head sent him flying into the distance
Clawing the ground, to stop his momentum, Ares conjured up a now and began to fire arrows that Naruto ducked and dodged smirking,
"God of War, ha!" Naruto laughed as the time of his RinneSharingan began spinning as the arrow began to go through his body before Ares dismissed his bow and now had a sword that he slashed at Naruto's neck only for it to phase through him as well before Naruto caught his wrist
"Should've let me go." Naruto smirked before he slammed his knee into Ares torso and punched him in the jaw before Ares stumbled back but Naruto still holding into his wrist pulled him in close and slammed his his fist into his nose, before a barrage of punches to Ares face sent him to his knees as the anger and aggression of the crime committed by Zues and his brothers long ago that cost Naruto his grandfather was unleashed
The Living Tribunal's interference is the only thing that stops war from brewing and before he got here Naruto will make sure to take his pound of flesh. A life for a life, is what he wanted.
Naruto kicked Ares away sending him flying away, Ares panted as golden blood leaked from his broken nose as he spit out teeth, looking to who he was sent to kill by Zeus, he saw Mjolnir being spun as Naruto approached him, as the lightning that was once white, turned red then black
Anger surging, at the realization that he needed to leave, Ares created a portal to escape before Naruto tackled him into it
Unknown Island
Naruto tumbled out of the portal, twitching as he groaned in pain, his Asgardian physiology not agreeing with the Olympian portal, and as he was healing from the trip he heard an angered yell and turned to see Ares fist slam into his face,
Ares smirked as he capitalized with his punch before he was struck in the chin sending him stumbling back,
Naruto got into the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist stance he recreated with his memory of One Punch Man and the best fighters in the nine realms
Ares was attacked with heavy blows before his head was slammed into a mountain causing cracks to travel up it and as he fell a lightning blade was stabbed into his chest causing him to vomit blood
"Die.' Naruto whispered before lightning bolts rained from the sky, all striking Ares' body, until he was dead.
Holding Ares dismembered head, as a trophy, Naruto heard footsteps and looked to his new visitor and blinked with a raised eyebrow, "Kratos?" He thought as he sealed away the head
End Flashback
"Olympians and Greeks are all dicks as their history and my own personal experience has taught me and plenty of other beings." Naruto said
Iris nodded before Eddie called her, and Cisco called him
"Hey, babe. What's up? Not much, just hanging out with Naruto. Are you off yet?"
"Hello." Naruto asked answering his phone
"Code 237 on Waid Boulevard." Cisco said over the phone
"Public indecency?" Naruto asked with an raised eyebrow
"Wait, I think I meant a 239." Cisco corrected
"Dog leash violation?"
"Bad man with a gun in a getaway car. Go." Caitlin said before Naruto looked and made sure no one was looking at him before he sped off
Street
Two beat cops were in pursuit of the truck, and when they got close, the suspect pulled out his gun and opened fire "He's got a gun. Look out!"
Naruto who was running saw the truck and entered through the passenger side, grabbed the driver before putting him in the backseat in handcuffs before running off back to Iris
"Where'd he go?" a beat cop asked as the truck slowed to a stop before he and his partner looked in the back to see their suspect looking around bewildered "What the..."
Vogue Movie Theater
Naruto stopped still on his phone as Iris still had her back turned, "Took care of it, now both of you go home, or out to have fun." Naruto said to Caitlin and Cisco before he hung up as Iris turned to him
"Eddie says hi." Iris said walking up
"Nice of him." Naruto said before he looked around "You wanna grab a bite? I'm feeling a little famished."
"How are you not fat?" Iris asked shaking her head
"Increased metabolism." Naruto said leading his friend away as he wrapped an arm around her shoulder,
"So you're going back home
"Yea, Caitlin walked in on me and Linda. The tower was nice since it was just me but I should be more respectful since I have employees now." Naruto said
"At least with your speed, your commute still won't be bad." Iris smiled which Naruto returned as they walked by a restaurant
Inside
A young man glared out the glass cautiously at everyone that walked by, "Lucky bastard.' The man said, watching Iris' ass as she and Naruto walked by, the man was about to grab his phone and take a picture when he saw an elder man walk up to him, "Why so public a meeting, uncle?"
"We're dining out to show our enemies we're not afraid." The man said to his nephew who nodded and looked back out the window, "Relax, nephew. We've replaced the windows with bulletproof glass." The man looked to the bald waiter, "Close it up." He ordered before placing a hand on his nephew's shoulder, " Come. Have a drink."
Later
The crime family were all sitting at the table as their leader spoke, "Our own drivers are ripping us off. Someone is paying them to steal from us. None of you will sleep until we find out who." The man said as the bald waiter walked into the back and exploded into green most, "And then those thieves…" The man began to cough as he breathed in the mist, "Those thieves... [Coughing] Will draw their last breath. [Coughing continues]
"Uncle?" The man asked before everyone's eyes widened when the man collapsed before green mist exploded from the vents and began to overtake them
Trying to shoot out the bulletproof glass didn't do them any favors
Morning, Naruto's Estate, Beverly Hills, CA
Clothes led from the front door and up the staircase as loud female moaning was heard along with the sound of skin slapping skin,
In the room Naruto and a woman of asain descent were on their knees in the doggystyle position with Naruto having a grip on the woman's hair, "Oh fuck!"
Leaning forward and placing the womans face in the mattress as he released her hair and balanced himself over her arched back on his fists, Naruto began to thrust faster before with a grunt he came inside the woman,
"Shit.' Naruto said grinding his hips into the woman's ass before she leaned up and they kissed,
Suddenly their phones rang causing them to sigh, before they reached over to the counter and grabbed their devices, "Watanabe." The woman said
"Yea, Joe what's going on?"
"Multiple homicides, I need you downtown." Joe said
"On my way." Naruto sighed before he hung up and slapped the woman's ass as he pulled out of her pussy, and kissed the back of her shoulder, "Got to canvas a scene."
"All hands on deck situation." Yuriko said before the two walked into the master bathroom and began to get clean, before Yuri walked to a duffel bag she brought last night with a fresh pair of work clothes,
Yuri was getting dressed when she noticed Naruto watching her as he was already ready to leave, "What?"
"Want a ride?" Naruto asked
'Got my own car, Naruto. Knowing you, you'd probably try to resume our n-"
"I've been in a coma for 9 months. When I woke up, you were working on another case and I couldn't see you."
"Like you don't have a sea of women to pick from." Yuri said turning to face him, "We agreed just sex, no feelings involved."
"Right." Naruto said walking up to her and kissing her, "Don't think your just some piece of ass to me though. We were friends before getting physical and I will always care about you."
Yuri smiled and nodded before she jumped as he slapped her ass with both hands and left as she clutched her stinging derriere
5 Minutes Later, Crime Scene
Naruto was kneeling down canvassing the crime scene, all the victims were killed by poison gas, but there were no canisters, or containers around "Naruto? Anything?" Joe asked
"Signs of histotoxic hypoxia. The cells in their bodies were unable to utilize oxygen. It's consistent with exposure to poison gas." Naruto said standing up and walking forward to Joe
"What kind of poison?" Joe asked
"I don't know specifically, yet. I'll need to take a lung sample, see if I can narrow it down, but Joe this is the work of a met-"
"The only other exit was bolted from the inside. They were trapped." Yuri said walking up with Eddie as Naruto and Joe looked at them, as Yuri handed Naruto a broken key in an evidence bag
"I was thinking someone pumped gas in from the outside, but witnesses say the street was empty." Eddie said
"Because you don't know how to ask." Yuri said, shaking her head, "I'm going to canvass the area again? Somebody had to have seen something suspicious with the movie theatre being two buildings down." Yuri said getting Joe to nod before he walked off, and Joe looked to Naruto who was watching Yuri
Naruto looked to Joe who smiled at him, "Seems you wasted little time getting back on that horse." Joe said causing Naruto to smile and shake his head
"It's just stress relief. If you went out more you can have someone help you with yours.' Naruto said as they walked to the back for the security footage
"Last time I did that, You, Iris, and Anissa threw a party at my house."
"Jen won a gold medal." Naruto said with a shrug as Joe sighed, "How are they doing with Anissa working at USC, and Jen finishing up her senior year soon, all you need to do is kick out Iris and you'll have your bachelors pad."
"Let's focus on this case." Joe said
Naruto shook his head and his fingers blurred across the keyboard before security footage from last night was brought up and he stopped it on the waiter that went to the door and flipped the open sign to close and broke off the key in the key hole
"Kyle Nimbus, but he's dead." Joe said as Naruto restarted the footage and followed the movements of Nimbus before Jie and he watched as Nimbus became smoke
"A meta-human."
Later, Uzumaki Industries
Naruto walked down the stairs to the lab and saw Cisco asleep, sighing he walked over and with a loud clap Cisco jumped up, "I'm up!" He said
"We've been looking for you for the last 30 minutes, what're you doi-" Naruto paused and took note of the food, mini fridge and duffel bag, "Are you staying here?"
"After the accelerator I was out of a job my step dad was paying my rent. After what happened with my mom, he got me evicted." Cisco frowned which Naruto mirrored
"Why didn't you say-"
"Do you know how stressful and embarrassing this is? All my life I felt out of place, watching as my mom put me to the side for my step dad and brother. To find out that your half God and your Prince has it all together while you are barely scraping by and don't know anything about what and who you are.'
Naruto gave Cisco a sympathetic look and placed a hand on his shoulder, "Tonight, we'll go out to the bar and talk about this. Take a shower and change then meet us upstairs. We got a meta on our hands.'
Cisco sighed with a nod before Naruto left
40 Minutes Later
Cisco walked in with to see Naruto putting up Martial arts equipment as Caitlin all sweaty drunk some Gatorade, "Okay you're here." Naruto said walking to a desk and slid his hand across it before a 3D hologram of Kyle Nimbus and his rap sheet appeared
"So Star Wars.' Cisco said in awe
Naruto smiled, "Okay, Cisco, Caitlin, Linda. This is Kyle Nimbus worked as a hitman for the Darbinyan crime family until they testified against him in court. He was arrested by Joe and sentenced to death by Judge Theresa Howard. On the night Kyle was to be executed, the S.T.A.R. Labs particle accelerator explosion hit the gas chamber he was in, likely fusing his molecular structure with the toxic gas."
'Are we assuming the gas he becomes is hydrogen cyanide?" Caitlin asked
"Yes, but we should be prepared if it is all kinds of gas. The Darbinyan family that were at the restaurant all show signs of hydrogen cyanide. If he chose that kind because it was their testimony that put him in jail or if it's the only kind of gas he can become is not known at this time. Joe and the LAPD are watching over Theresa Howard since Nimbus has a hit list."
"How do you fight a guy that becomes mist?" Linda asked
"The Mist, that's his name.' Cisco smiled
"With gas being the most unstable form of matter, Nimbus may tire out easily along with wind being the most effective." Naruto said
"Well first we need to find him." Caitlin said getting a nod
"Or how to contain him. Jails can't really contain metahumans yet." Linda said
'We should let the world know about them." Naruto replied, causing everyone to look at one another, "People deserve the right to know that their world has gotten stranger and some dangerous people with abilities are roaming the streets."
"How do we get the word out?"
"A press conference. After we covered all of the main bases. Caitlin with enough blood samples from meta humans you can find similar cells that allow for humans to awaken powers, right?"
'Potentially." Caitlin said
Naruto nodded, "Okay we also need to create some tech that will suppress powers and containment cells for the time being until the metals we catch can be moved to a proper jail." Naruto said
"I'll get on that." Cisco nodded,
"What about Nimbus?" Linda asked
"We know nothing concrete about his powers. Need to meet him." Naruto said
"I may have an idea of a place we can modify into a containment cell." Cisco said getting everyone's attention
"Where?" Naruto asked
"The pipeline of the particle accelerator." Cisco said causing Caitlin to freeze as Naruto and Linda rose an eyebrow
"You can't be serious." Caitlin said looking to her friend, "I mean, no one has been down there since the... It's cordoned off."
"And in a place none of us are welcome in." Naruto said as apparently Wells had gave Cisco and Caitlin an ultimatum that they shared what they were doing here with him and when they declined he called them traitors and to never come back,
"With your speed, we can get what we need." Cisco smiled
"There is a sub level beneath the training ground, I was going to create a holographic training simulator but this will work fine.' Naruto said getting a nod from Cisco before Naruto began to stretch, "Lets rob S.T.A.R. Labs. Caitlin if you're not up to It, don't push yourself.'
Caitlin nodded before Naruto and Cisco walked out of the room talking about what was needed
Later, S.T.A.R. Labs
Naruto sped into the abandoned building and looked at the accelerator ring, with a smirk he shot down and grabbed everything and even pulled some high-tech device from the wall before he sped off
A streak of red lightning sped to the accelerator ring and Harrison Wells looked around with glowing red eyes, as Gideon's power source and mainframe had been taken
Joe's House
Joe was at his dining room table on his laptop, looking at the footage of Henry's interrogation
Video
Henry sat handcuffed at the table explaining what happened to his wife "The lightning was in the house, I came downstairs when I heard my son yelling." Henry said as he began to get choked up, "Naruto tried to run to his mother, he disappeared, and that's when I saw the blood on my wife."
"Your prints were on the murder weapon." the detective said
"I needed to stabilize the knife. I'm a doctor! I was trying to save her! I didn't kill my wife. Joe, tell them! You know me! Our kids are friends! You tell them, Joe!"
Joe looked up when he heard Iris coming down the stairs and quickly shut his laptop "Do I even want to know what you were looking at?" Iris asked
"It's just work." Joe lied with a smile "Some old cases weren't filed properly."
Iris looked at her dad, before they both looked to the door when someone knocked, walking to the door, as Joe watched, Iris opened it to see Eddie with a wide smile as he made to kiss her
"Detective. What are you doing here?" Iris asked causing Eddie to frown as Iris looked to Joe who stood up, while Eddie looked surprised to see his partner
"Joe, I thought you were at the morgue." Eddie said
"I decided to bring some work home." Joe said walking over "Why are you here?"
"Yes, well, I've been looking for you." Eddie lied with a sigh as Joe raised an eyebrow
"You just said you thought I was at the morgue." Joe said as Eddie and Iris looked at each other, "Why are you at my house, Eddie?"
Iris and Eddie looked at one another before Eddie bravely looked at Joe, "Iris and I have been dating for the last 8 months." Eddie said
"8 months." Joe said stepping back
"Joe,I know that-"
"I can't trust you." Joe glared at Eddie who frowned, "Your my partner you know how focused we have to be and now you're a liability to me. We can't and will never be partners."
"Dad.." Iris began but Joe held up a hand before he walked off as Eddie and Iris watched him
Uzumaki Industries
Cisco and the army of clones Naruto provided worked on the new cell, as the original Naruto was upstairs with Caitlin who wanted to talk,
"Your fiance, what was he like?" Naruto asked writing an algorithm
Caitlin smiled softly as she leaned back on her desk "We met when we were working on the particle accelerator. He was the structural engineer. He liked to joke that he was basically a very high-priced plumber." Caitlin said with a smile that Naruto returned as he paid attention, "We were very different. You might have noticed I can be a bit...guarded, but Ronnie knew how to make me laugh. He used to say we were like fire and ice. He wasn't supposed to be there that night. He was just there for me. If he hadn't..." Caitlin stopped talking as it became painful to continue,
"It's okay."
"No, I need to talk about it.' Caitlin said getting a nod from Naruto, "For so long, I've been terrified of going into that hole." Caitlin said with a sigh, "I am so proud that he saved so many lives that day, but I'm mad because I didn't want him to be a hero. I wanted him to be my husband." Caitlin said as tears began to stream down her cheeks before Naruto brought her into a hug, as she began to sob
Later
Kyle had been stalking Theresa but he couldnt find a way to get her alone, watching as a car arrived he frowned when he saw Joe West walk up to the house and decided to hell with the subtle approach, he was unstoppable now no reason to hide like a coward,
"Detective!" Nimbus yelled as he slammed the car door and Joe and Theresa looked back and saw him walking toward him
Joe narrowed his eyes as he sent a SOS text to Naruto along with his location, before he drew his gun, "Nimbus, put your hands up!" Joe demanded as the cops that had been watching the house got out of their cars and took aim at the bald man
With Naruto
Naruto and Caitlin were laughing as they shared stories before Cisco walked in, "All finished the cells are ready and will render whoever is inside powerless." Cisco said getting nods before Naruto's phone buzzed
"It's Joe, he needs help." Naruto said befire he sped off
With Joe
Joe and Theresa looked at Nimbus who smirked, "You two sent me to die. Judge Howard do you remember the last thing you said to me in the courtroom? May God have mercy on your soul."
Nimbus exploded into smoke much to everyone sans Joe's shock, and the smoke began to fill up the streets when in a flash of lightning everyone was off the block, and Nimbus solidified looking around and turned into a jab from Naruto sending him flying into a car
Groaning Nimbus looked up to the empty street when in a blink, Naruto appeared with Mjolnir in hand before he slammed it into Nimbus torso and as the former hit man killed over, a hook to the jaw drove him into the street
Nimbus quickly turned into smoke before he zoomed up to Naruto's face but Naruto stepped back and ran in a circle before with a hop to the side he juked a lunge of the smoke and soon as Nimbus was forced to reform from fatigue he slammed Mjolnir into his temple knocking him unconscious
Picking up the Mist Naruto sped off with him to Uzumaki Industries and tossed him into a cell,
Later, LAPD
Naruto walked into the precinct to see Joe talking to a young woman as Iris and another stood off to the side, "Hey." Naruto said causing them to look over, "What you do this time?'
"I was just protesting." The woman said
"Harriet vandalized a statue." The young woman said
"Jen I told you about calling me that."
"Anissa, your alot like your father and there's nothing wrong with that. Really. My brother would be so proud and even I am that you are standing up for the civil rights and respect we all deserve, but you are very temperamental and you need to think before you act." Joe said to his neice
Anissa nodded in understanding, as Joe sighed, "I'll get you processed out, Naruto come with me." Joe said walking off
Naruto looked to Jen and fingered her purple locs, "Purple, huh? I like it." He said
"Thanks." Jen smiled as Naruto smiled and walked off
"How are you doing with everything?" Naruto asked Joe
"People are asking questions that I don't have the answers to."
"I'll take care of it." Naruto said before he looked over and saw all of Eddie's things gone, "What happened to your partner?'
"Got a transfer, working with Yuri now. Will that be a problem?' Joe asked
'Not at all.' Naruto smiled
Naruto walked over to Anissa, and Iris, "Where did Jen go?"
'House party.' Iris said
"Okay, headed out to Lux want to grab a drink?" Naruto asked
"Well I don't have classes anytime soon so I can use a drink.' Anissa said before the girls and Naruto left the precinct and met Cisco and Caitlin before heading to the piano bar.
