Chapter 9 - Chapter Nine: Life and Death

The next day-

Em's P.O.V

In a movie theater, three friends sit watching the end credits scenes of the new marvel movies Fantastic Four: First Steps. "Bro that movie was aight, pretty cool practical and CG effects but not my type of movie, would've liked it if it was in the main timeline though." Mike remarked nonchalantly.

"Bro you must be on something, cuz the chemistry between all the actors were phenomenal, and not to mention Galactus looked and sounded amazing, 9.5 out of 10 hands down best installment of the multiverse saga." Ar asserted with child like giddiness.

" Honestly I kind of agree with Mike well, the part where it should be in the main timeline, but come on the dialogue was the best for a movie like this one, and not to mention, Dr. Doom wasn't RD Jr like that was the greatest bate and switch of the year." Em noted in pure astonishment.

"Nah y'all are just fanboying out because of Galactuses, like of course he looked amazing but that doesn't mean that he going to be the main MCU's Galactus, and not to mention that the 60's style, for me was just distracting to always look at." Mike commented with displeasure in his voice.

"Bro is living under Bikini bottom, it was supposed to look like that because it was the movies aesthetic, and the year there is like, 19:62 so you can't really complain about the style of the movie." Em replied to Mike's comment.

"You can't really get mad about a style they told everyone would be in the movie, it's like complaining about traffic you knew would be ahead of you, that's just straight up complaining just to complain."Ar remarked with a chuckle. "Well you can't really blame his attitude towards the MCU movies, he is a comic book fanatic so you can't change his reasons for disliking these movies, I mean I think that they should've leaned more toward the comic book, and stuck with a there cards that they had and not sell any of their rights to any of their characters." Em remarked knowledgeably.

"Damn, I sometimes forget that you also a comic and movie nerd," Ar commented with a deadpanned tone. "Not just those but also the animated ones too, he's more of a nerd than anyone of us." Mike remarked with realization. "Wow, thanks for the compliment." Em responded In a appreciative tone. " That wasn't…., never mind." Ar replied. "Anyway you guys want to go somewhere else?" Mike remarked. "Go where?" Ar remarked with a questioning tone.

An hour later-

"So how's life been to y'all," Mike asked. "Good so far, even when it gets hard, I still can't complain really." Ar replied genuinely.

"Good...…, but huh, now that I think about it...…., I never did get around to forgiving my parents," Em mentioned with contimplation. "Well?, what are you gonna do about that?" Ar exclaimed. "You think, well if you got some baggage, my suggestion would be to just leave it with you want to," Mike shrugged. "Hey Arnie, I think it's time," Em remarked knowingly. "Alright, so we go tomorrow?" Ar commented. "Yeah, it's time I'm ready," Em admitted with resolve. "What the fuck are y'all getting at," Mike remarks with a questioning tone. "It's something Ar and I agreed on in our old days." Em remarked with a reminiscent smile. "Bro calm down, you sound 70." Ar remarked with laughter. Minutes passing by with them laughing in the peaceful atmosphere.

The next day-

Em wakes up, going through his morning routine, going outside breathing in the fresh air. "..." Em basks in the silence in the early morning. Within the silence of the morning are the chirps of the avians in the sky.

Hours later-

In the bustling city, where people go to show the where's, where the middle class go to work their minimum wage jobs. Walking through a crowded street weaving throughout the pedestrians of the street. "So, today is the day," Ar remarked. "Yeah I'm kinda melancholic for one, and just peaceful in a weird way." Em responded to Ar's inquiring.

Random P.O.V

Someone a couple yards behind the two watching there movement. He creeps up step by step, moment by moment. Sweat pouring down his brows. He stalks them for long minutes, bidding his time for the right moment. He manages to be three persons behind them, "Finally, I'm in position, I need to take the fucker out, before I'm too late." The assassin remarks to himself.

Em's P.O.V

"Yeah, I don't know why Mike doesn't like the movie, like come on the Fantastic Four, week one got over 1.9 billion in its debut. "Don't know, maybe he just be hatin." Ar shruggs.

BANG, BANG, BANG!!!

A familiar unfamiliar location-

He sees and he waits, he sees that the time has come, and he waits no more.
