55 Irregulars

Inside a triangular like jet was three people, mostly unrecognized other than our very own Alfie McBride.

Alfie was frustrated and shocked, mostly shocked as he had his hands against the display table leaning against it.

Though he was not shocked about what was on the display screen rather than what one of the men was saying.

On the other side of the table was a man with blonde hair and goatee looking at the frowning Alfie with his arms crossed.

On the side of the two sitting on a chair a bit far away was another man with a bit of a scruff on his jaw and black hair sat with his upper body naked examining what seemed like the batsuit.

These two men are very known in modern day, and are almost as famous as Tony Stark himself, but ever since Tony announced himself as Ironman, no one could really match his fame other than the famous Princess Selena in the past.

The blonde man in front of Alfie that did most of the talking was Hunter, Hunter Willis. CEO of Willis Incorporated.

While the one who had his focus elsewhere was Dominic Hall. Also the top figure for Hall Enterprise.

"Having a hard time believing my words?" Hunter asked slowly.

Alfie on the other hand looked up at the blonde but never said anything and got back to thinking.

The topic they were on, was reincarnating.

Growing up, Alfie thought of reincarnation as some mythical fiction, but there he was born again and having a second life.

And at some point he questioned if other people also have gone through the situation. But the thought was so long ago that he didn't remember.

But now here he is, with two other men claiming themselves to be reincarnators just like him, when Hunter told him this, Alfie didn't know what to think.

Sure there was shock, but the thought of them being the same thing as him crossed his mind when he looked them up, there were just too many signs.

And so for the last 30 or so minutes Alfie composed himself and was trying to absorb the new information when Hunter kept on spouting out their stories.

"I'm actually surprised you don't know about this community of ours considering how old you are-" Hunter was interrupted.

"How many are there?" Alfie asked.

"How many what? Livers? We know there is more than 3 of us on the planet but so far we only have assumptions." Hunter said.

As the term 'Reincarnator' is too long, Hunter preferred '2nd Livers', or more shorter, 'Livers'.

"How would you even know if someone is a-a...a Liver or not?!"

"Well to be honest we don't, the only way we could have a slight chance of knowing is if someone dresses up like some DC hero or if an unknown became famous worldwide. Like you, see the thing is, we've never heard of a famous man named Alfred McBride, but we do know who and what Deathstroke is." Hunter smirked. "Put two and two together and we have another Liver." Hunter finished as he pointed at Alfie.

"That's flawed." Alfie frowned. "I could have easily been a puppet playing a role for some Liver."

"That's possible, but we're way past that. You're reaction has already given us the answers."

"Then what about this DC hero thing you're talking about."

"..." Hunter stayed silent for a second before speaking. "Well, it's not so original...but it somehow seems like when we discovered what world we are in, we decided to play a certain part in this world so we took on a role.

See when I decided to play hero, I knew that I have to play the typical dress up and the whole hero thing, so I just took on something that's not originally from this world and took on the mantle of Green Arrow.

The same thing happened to Dom over there, and he took on the symbol of the Batman." Hunter said as he pointed at Dominic who worked on his suit.

Alfie glanced sideways at the man with a frown.

"I had the same attitude when I met Dom, I was alarmed and didn't agree much with him being the batman." Hunter said as he chuckled. "But let's make this more clear and confirm things. Has there ever been a voice in your head that talks to you?" Hunter asked.

"Huh?" Alfie raised an eyebrow.

"You haven't?" Hunter asked with a frown as well.

"What the hell are you talking about?!"

"Okay, when you woke up in S.H.I.E.L.D. was there a voice in your head? Or when you were born, did a voice say something in tour head nonstop?" Hunter went deeper and asked. And it worked, Alfie's eyes widened.

"I thought so." Hunter said with a smirk.

"What's your count?" Hunter asked again.

"What do you mean?"

"Strikes." Hunter simply said without explanations.

Alfie opened his mouth about to speak but didn't say anything. Why would he say anything to these two? He had to be careful considering not everything is what it looks like.

"I guess it's understandable that you don't trust us enough to say it. I have 3 full strikes, Dom over there has- well he can tell you if you ask. It's not for me to say."

"It's stupid of you to just spout out your information like that after just meeting me. What's the meaning of it anyways?"

"Well it's simply about how many lives you have, and when you lose that 3?...then your life is as good as gone." Hunter said.

"How do you know about all this?"

"That's a good question, but the question that's utmost important is how we are here, who sent us? What's our purpose? It goes pretty deep and to be honest it freaks me out sometimes."

"Me and Dom spent years trying to find any difference we have between us and the normal people in this crazy world, we couldn't find anything. Maybe the only thing that makes us different is our memories of our past." Hunter thought out loud.

The conversation went on for long, many subjects came along but the most core shaking is the fact that there are more players in this world, more Livers.

Selena also came up, both Hunter and Dominic were sure she was also a Liver but there wasn't much evidence or anything. Alfie was getting more frustrated.

After an hour and some later, Alfie suddenly teleported away without saying goodbye.

"Are you sure it was the right choice not telling him?" Dominic asked.

"There are more important things that he should know, and that includes his daughter as well, but for now we should let him digest everything he just learned." Said Hunter.

"One of the most important thing a man can have is a family, a daughter mostly. So I doubt any other subjects would be more important than knowing he has a child." Dominic said.

"I understand. I'll plan something then."

"Not everything can be worked out with plans. Being straightforward will make things less of a tragedy."

"We got to figure out he was a Liver didn't we? And you said it's not a good plan." Hunter said.

"That good plan of yours backfired and he found me. It could have gone worst if he didn't have questions in mind, he had the chance to kill me but didn't." Dom said.

"Yeah...I didn't realize how capable he was, it's a simple miscalculation, it won't happen again." Hunter said.

•••••••••

In a jet flying above the Atlantic ocean to the U.S. was Rona and a handful of Amazons dressed in black suits and ties.

Rona sat on one of the window seats as she softly snored in her sleep without much worries.

The aircraft was a jet, but the creator wanted to call it a Raven instead.

This wasn't a diplomatic visit rather than a simple tourism.

The raven slightly shook but Rona's eyes widened out of sleep before calming down.

She looked around to the small group she brought with them before ending up in front of her. On the seat opposite hers was a young girl about 16 or 17, but in Amazon years she is easily in her 70's.

The young girl wore skinny jeans, a simple white shirt with the words "PRINCESS" written on the chest and a black leather jacket over it and a pair of simple converse.

On her back was a long stick-like item wrapped in black cloth.

The young girl looked out into the window without much emotions. Rona leaned onto the table between them.

"What's wrong baby?"

"Nothing." Was the simple response the young girl had. "...this is my first time outside without Aunt Peggy." The girl said.

Rona sigh before she stood up and moves to the seat next to the girls before wrapping her arms around the young girl.

"I missed her too, and we will find the coward who took her from us." Rona said as she snuggled the girl more comfortably than the one she is trying to comfort. "Maybe we can have little Ricky come with us, remember little Ricky?"

"No, Ricky is a boring old man now, he doesn't wanna play with me anymore." The girl said with a pout, but a sudden thought came up in her head. "What about Shanny? Can we go together with her?"

"Shanny?" Rona asked confusedly.

"Yeah, she is Aunt Peggy's niece, she is so fun! And I haven't seen her for a long time now." The girl said excitedly.

"Oh Shannon? I don't know honey, she's keeping herself busy with work. But I'll see if I can do anything." Rona said as she received a nod and got back on her seat.

The young girl's name was Alina, the current princess of Deliosa. Daughter of the Queen and the Wolf.

Or so it was told.

Not many know about her or much about their home after Peggy was murdered. The last thing that the people heard was the Princess finally becoming a Queen, but that was it.

The Amazons on the other hand have been given resources to know the happenings worldwide.

The island now had modern devices here and there just enough to keep them updated and entertained once in a while.

The other thing was food, Amazons are strict with their diet but the delicacies in the world of men was so good even the queen agreed for outside food to be a common thing in Deliosa.

And so Alina grew up with a bit of modern and Amazonian environment.

She had hair going down to her stomach and a cute pretty face.

She had a mission this time, and she has Rona and a handful of elites with them. They might be wearing modern clothing but inside those clothes were small enough armor able to be fitted in.

•••••••••••

On the highway was a group of black car, inside the back seat was Nick Fury, and Captain America himself who woke up some time ago.

It was a more honest awakening, Steve didn't wake up to the whole fake room scheme rather than a white room.

He was informed of where, when and how he was there. And after calming down, he asked where Alfie was considering he went down with him.

Another escape attempt was made after Steve was informed that Alfie escaped their grasp.

But then met up with Nick Fury who took over and came straight to Steve with everything. Mostly.

Now they were in the car and Fury was asking if Steve had any ideas where Alfie could be and how it has been a pain to try and catch him.

Steve had to try and "hide" a small smile he had. And it annoyed Fury.
