Game Creator Multiversal (Marvel/DC)

Chapter 26: Oh Dear God...



We will be getting back to the game stuff in the next chapter! This chap is needed for the bridging.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Images cut into my visual cortex constantly amidst the thumping headache that sought to boom through my entire psyche. Images of numerous people, names following said depictions as small descriptions seared themselves further into the depths of my mind.

The Flash, Barry Allen, a man who had changed time multiple times already... Who could and may do so in future. 'I need a way to resist that change...'

Batman, Bruce Wayne... The orphan of the Wayne estate who decided that his one goal in life is to cleanse Gotham of its criminals and underbelly. This man had already tried to contact me, this was slightly concerning, especially considering the amount of technology I continued to see around him... Not to mention the intelligence that I was being shown behind those eyes of his.

Green Arrow, Oliver Queen. A rich man who was taught by the League of Assassins, specifically by a man named Ra's Al Ghul who was searching for a successor and husband for his daughter. Besides that info was also the deeds he had done... Saving people, fighting off many enemies in tandem with Barry Allen... He seemed to be a good man.

Super Man, Clark Kent or Kal-El. One of the most powerful Superheroes in the world, originating from Krypton along with his cousin Kara Zor-El. Only known weakness is Kryptonite and he is very moral. He was currently working as a reporter in Metropolis City? That was an unclear thing, a causation from the 'basic' nature of the information.

Wonder Woman, Diana Prince... An Amazonian woman from the place known as Themyscira. She once had a human lover and was very active during World War 1 and 2.

Shazam... A kid who had gotten the power of an old wizard and now worked as a super hero like Superman. He was based out of Fawcett city and had several siblings.

Besides the names of the heroes also came some basic information about Atlantis... Aquaman, Arthur Curry served as the king of Atlantis alongside his half brother Namor. Together they ruled the city and the military separately. Namor was connected to the X-Men and the United Kingdom. Aquaman had ties with Wonder Woman and Superman, in an off-sense.

The name and image of Tony Stark was placed into my mind also, but very little was shown. Reason as to why very little was shared could be monumental, but my interpretation was that he had not yet begun his journey fully.

Beside Tony Stark was a strong looking man with a spangled suit on, in American colours, called Steve Rogers. He was also apparently known as Captain America and served to fight a group of rogue Nazi Scientists in WW2. Hydra... But that was only a part of a larger group that, I didn't know about... The information was beyond the guise of 'basic'.

Many images flashed, no names being given to them yet as they had supposedly not begun their journey or something. Xavier did flash into view though... He was a mutant of the highest order and best friends with Max Eisenhart or Magneto to those who didn't know him personally. Magneto was a Jewish kid who was captured by the Nazis and escaped thanks to his Mutant powers...

'Very convoluted story line there... Damn.'

Logan was next, the man called Wolverine and the person I had seen at Xavier's Mansion, sorry, 'school'. He was, very old, older than he even knew. He had served in World War 1 and into World War 2 as well... But then he was captured by, some group, and had his memories wiped and reset. They did something to him, physically, but the information was fuzzy from there.

After that a general sense of the world was conveyed to me... A deadly one. No feelings of safety suffused me. Everything was dark and dreary. Life was fickle and finite here and vulnerable to massive global changes, time jumps, recesses and possible destruction. Along with that, every person I saw in my visions, was dangerous beyond belief. Every one of them could cause untold destruction to the planet and its' people.

"I need safety, protection, power and influence. My games are my way of gaining that... Which means that I need to make my games for points, for items I can buy from them and also get more summons to aid me."

Awakening from my slumber I stood immediately and briskly left my apartment. It was time to put that money in my bank account to work for me. There was no time for me to relax or chill for now... I needed to set myself and my company up immediately.

...

Parking my Corvette at the entrance to a real-estate agency, I walked in and began perusing the selection of office buildings. The places I looked for were on the outskirts of New York, even old buildings that could be reconstituted to become an office building.

I was aided by a rather well-put-together woman who was very stable and seemed professional beyond the norm. My thoughts were on having an office somewhere isolated, away from everything, where I could place the anchor for my true home.

Being presented many options, I finally took to a singular one. It was priced at around 1,000,000 USD but required extreme repairs and refurbishment if I was to use it as the base for a company. Tapping my black bank card the purchase was made and I was offered to have an inspection of it along with the real estate agent who ran it...

This woman's professionalism was, amazing, thus I decided to do something that would most likely never really happen in the future; unless I changed my mind.

"How much does this real estate agency pay you?"

The blonde haired agent recoiled a touch as her green eyes regarded me neutrally. Her figure was very lithe but had a lot of femininity to her curves. She wore a rather tame business suit with a knee-long skirt.

"Ahum, if I may ask, why do you want to know?"

"Because I am in need of someone with skill and you are very skilled from what I can tell."

She fidgeted a touch whilst matching my gaze.

"What work is it? And can it beat $109,400 yearly Salary?"

"I am the owner of a company named Yggdrasil Interactive, a gaming company. And yes, the salary I would be offering you would be twice that amount."

"T-twice...!? A-ahum... What would my work be?"

I grinned widely at her cute stuttering. $200,000 was nothing to me at the moment, her pay was inconsequential for my over all balance, but her skills could be put to use in various manners.

"Well, you have two options. First is to become my assistant and help me organise the companies affairs and my own small tasks for you; Pay yearly would be $400,000. Second option is to become the assistant to the General Manager, pay being $200,000 in this instance."

"I-I'll take the first one!"

She was so blown away by the money offered that she accepted my first offer immediately... I was a little blown away... Usually people would take a long time, or consider their comfort. Not her though, she seemed used to change and definitely wanted a pay rise.

"Okay, then I'll accept you. But, if I may ask, what caused you to accept my offer so fast despite me being a stranger and completely unknown to you?"

"M-money... Mainly. My life hasn't exactly been stable since moving to Manhattan. A lot of, family drama, and the constant annoyance of my ex-husband... Well, you can imagine."

"Fair enough! Not saying no, just curious."

I held my hand out for a handshake as my gut told me she was trustworthy. Perhaps I didn't have the mind reading that Xavier does, but my psychic might was still strong enough to detect base intensions. She had zero intentions of harming me, instead, it felt like she was somewhat desperate for money... A feeling I could empathise with since I was dirt poor in my last life.

Accepting my handshake she introduced herself fully to me.

"My name is Susan Storm!"

A twinge of a reaction sparked within the recesses of my mind. This was, someone who was a hero and was with Reed Richards... But, isn't anymore? Ignoring this thought to not make the situation weird or awkward, I shook her hand.

"Freya! Freya Falconhart."

With the introductions made we exited the building. Opening the car door for her and taking off soon after, we travelled to the new estate I had just bought.

It was a stunning medieval inspired manor that sprawled for several acres. The stones and other parts were all damaged and needed repairing. The roofs were drooping inwards. The pool was filled with dirt and completely broken. Many rooms inside smelled awful with the main hall being dark, dreary and damp. 

"They sure weren't joking when they said it needed some love..."

"I, tried to warn you."

"No matter, it will work perfectly for my intentions. If you can get your affairs sorted and report here tomorrow morning; around 10 AM, I'd appreciate it."

"Sure! I'll be ready tomorrow morning... Ah, but, do you want me to contact some builders to come and have the building looked over?"

"I knew there was a reason I chose you. I'd love it for you to take initiative, please do so."

She looked utterly stunned after my words, staring in wonder at me whilst tears slowly gathered in her eyes. I had no clue why, but it was sad for me to see her cry like this. Before comfort could be given to her though, she ran off, disappearing around a corner like a spectre.

'Did she just get flustered and run away into invisibility?'

...

Meanwhile...

"Yes Mam, he was just staring at his computer laughing maniacally whilst murmuring about how he's going to go no matter what..."

A woman dressed in a brown shirt with very short shorts stood saluting the figure behind an ash-grey mahogany desk.

"So let me get this straight. He is now interested in nerdy ass games... And he is planning to go somewhere for one of these games..."

"Yes!"

"Ugghhhhh..."

The figure behind the desk with her greyish-blonde hair, round glasses and steepled gloved hands sighed as she pressed her fingers into her forehead. Behind her a full moon was framed in the perfectly clear glass.

"Did, he, say... Where he was going...?"

"Ah, no. He did say something about... 'Smacking that 'liberties' ass until America itself was horny for war...' Or something like that..."

"New York. He's gone to fucking New York!? Why!? I have work for him...!"

"I don't know mam, I can't stop him though... At least he said nothing about going on a walk..."

"Don't make me start calling you 'Police Girl' again!"

...

Also somewhere else...

"Hoh...? It seems I've been invited to meet Yggdrasil Interactive chat. And what's this? They are going to give me access to their new game for live streaming and playing!? Preposterous, if they wanted me to be there, they should have offered to dredge the tea they sunk in the ocean..."

"Oh, wait, they are offering as much Yorkshire tea as I can stomach..."

"Ohhh... These people are good at diplomacy...!"

A spiffing brit fought against the urge to immediately travel to New York, under the promise of endless Yorkshire tea.
