Marvel: The First Son

"ugh....my head..... Wait my head?! "

Suddenly rushing into a sitting position, my head spins in protest, making the prior head pain even worse.

"Shit...ughhh" I need a painkiller or a beer...

How am I even in pain?

I.. I should be dead, that reactive explosion should have deleted my existence, no way anyone could survive that blast.

"Heh, guess I'm just lucky, maybe it just launched me like those old Cartoons on the Tv"

"Where am I anyway?" finally opening my eyes all I see are blurry images for a moment before my eyes adjust to the light

and immediately notice that I seem to be sitting in the dirt, I look up and see "...an Ass."

A dammed donkey, just chilling in front of me munching grass.

"Well, alrighty then, not the worst place I have woken up, or the strangest."

Looking around the field I seem to be sitting in, a few more donkeys can be seen in the area surrounded by a wooden fence that is around 160 cm tall.

*System Initiating*

*Irregularity Detected*

*Purging....Failure.....Power Insufficient...seeking alternative solution.....INTRUSION DETECTED....IRREGULARITY IS ATTACKING THE SYSTEM ... CRISIS MODE SOLUTIONS....OPTION 745/C MERGING WITH ENEMY.....*

"What?!" staring at the screen in front of me, I quickly realize that it must be related to the Umbra Protocol in some way, maybe a response to the Zeta Protocol.

*Reinitializing...*

*Boot Complete*

*Welcome Back Professor Perseus*

"Cero? Are you online?" speaking softly in the hope that Cero had somehow survived the explosion.

*Yes Professor, I am online, though due to the blast, the auxiliary chip in your head and present circumstance I have now become a part of you in a way that I can't quite explain.*

I let out a breath of joy, Cero is alive and they're still with me, "Cero, tell me what happened."

*Professor, looking at the data logs, it seems that the experiment was tampered with at the last moment, a high-frequency energy signature was detected which through direct interaction caused the Arno-Particulates to lose stability and rapidly create energy, the reactor overloaded shortly afterward.*

"Foreign Involvement!? Cero, how could we receive any foreign frequency, the lab was completely Isolated?"

*According to the security records, It seems that someone obtained access to a cleaner drone and 'upgraded' it, it was overlooked due to the fact cleaner drones are too low tech to cause harm*

Looking quietly across the field, I contemplate what I have just learned, "Any noticeable traces?" *None that are obvious Sir, but data from the drone bears resemblance to encryption patterns from Templar source coding.*

"I expected the Church to act, just not so soon." finally standing up, I walk towards the fence on my left, which is only a few meters away.

"Cero what has happened since then?"

*Due to the immense danger of the situation, your lifesaver protocols were activated, although untested, the Twins were used in order to save your life, but it seems that we were wrong with the Quantum displacement theory Sir. Instead of the base in Iran, you ended up somewhere quite diffrent, I believe that your Multiversal theory may be at play here Sir, and due to my Main Server being so close to the Twins, I was brought along as well.

"Dammit!" vaulting over the fence, land hard on the ground on the other side, dissatisfaction coursing through me.

"So where the hell are we and what was that Anomaly before?"

*Upon arrival, we encountered a foreign energy source that probed us, before attempting to, what I can only assume is 'purge' us. Also, we seem to be 40 miles from the City of New York Sir.*

"I guess we are the foreigners here then..." walking by the fence I spot a road not far ahead, "Are we on a similar Earth atleast, Do I have to worry about the Templars?"

*I don't believe we are Sir, I am detecting several foreign energy signatures and inconsistencies in historical, geographical, and political records. I have successfully linked to all Class 1 Satellites and Information hubs, Data is ready for review. *

"Well then, lay it on me Cero, looks like I'm in for a trek anyway" reaching the road, I see a small signpost saying 'New York City 40 Miles'

"Start with the NTN"

*Acknowledged Sir, Major changes are present throughout all historical records and several Records also show evidence of forgery, but the modern world looks rather similar to our own, we are currently in the State of New York in the United States of America, it is February 3rd, 2017 and 14:25:52 as of now. Several high-powered energy signatures have been detected around the world, as well as a heightened amount of private technology, weaponry, and areas.

It seems this world will be more dangerous than ours Sir, Biological changes are present in all humans here as well as the probability of several non-human societies.

I would suggest securing a Class 2 Information hub, in order to learn more."

"It seems we might have just gotten lucky here Cero, continue with the Info."

*Yes Sir, the current President of the US is... *

On a cold winter night in New York City, a man walked the streets with a strange look in his eyes, He was about 6ft tall had hair such a dark brown you would think it was black was shaved short on the sides and tied in a knot on the back of his head lending an uncontrolled look due to the short curly hairs that escaped from the knot.

He had deep dark eyes like black coffee on a summer day, a strong face, and a youthful look, diffused by the curly and slightly unkempt beard that lay on his face.

He wore simple black running shoes and black linen pants, a simple olive t-shirt under what seemed to be a cheap rain jacket was all that kept him from the cold, who would have that such a simple and foolish-looking man would have an impact on the world that none could have fathomed?
