//Dilemma and Descovery//

Spencer was in a dilemma, despite his intentions to go to mars, he had no actual means of getting there, his wings won't work in space as there is no air for them to push against to allow him to fly, and he couldn't figure out a way to travel across millions of miles of space to get to Mars in the first place.

Even though he could now go in space without worrying about his lungs exploding since he no longer needs to breathe, this was his body adapting to allow him to prevent the same thing from happening, but he still could not overcome the issue of moving through space unhindered, any technology that could aid him in his endeavor was thousandths of years out of his grasp.

He could only wait for the technology to be built in a few thousand years, or he could find a way to get there.

"Wait, didn't the Martians get wiped out?"-spencer

Spencer had forgotten this little detail that was detrimental to his plans, the Martians were wiped out in the future. This only left him one choice, he could only find a way to get to Mars before he loses his chance to attain their abilities forever, even though killing Martian manhunter was also an option, he didn't want to kill any of the members of the justice league, especially martian manhunter.

Scratching his head in his frustration, Spencer decided to make this his top priority for the future, but he would still stay focused on other ways that he could step into the realm of the supernatural abilities that he craves.

Finally moving on from the topic of getting to Mars, Spencer could be seen walking in a rocky landscape filled with trees, wearing makeshift pants that he made from the fur of a creature that he killed a few days back. He was trying to look around to see if he could find any form of intelligent life in this place, from being here for only a few days, he already concluded that he was most likely in a period just before the ice age begins.

Continuing to walk for several miles nonstop as he didn't need to rest, Spencer had come across many other beasts while he was exploring, many had tried to attack him in an attempt to kill him, but they were not a threat in his eyes and were easily dispatched, they were nowhere near the creatures of the old world Spencer was used to killing.

Spencer had absorbed a few of the creatures he killed to see if he would gain any new traits that could benefit him in some way, the first creature he absorbed was similar to a modern-day rhino, but it was larger and was covered in fur.

By absorbing this creature, Spencer gained fur patterns in his demihuman form along with the scales he had before, the creature did not give Spencer any substantial increase in his strength or any of his base stats so he ignored the changes.

The rest of the creatures he had absorbed didn't give him any further changes, as he already had the more dominant traits of dinosaurs, the traits of these weak mammals couldn't possibly compare to the ones he had already absorbed.

Spencer quickly lost interest in the absorption of these creatures, as doing so would no longer benefit his growth, he continued to explore the world as it is now, trying to see what he could find.

.

It has been a few months, a few months of Spencer doing nothing but exploring his new terrain, he was tired of it, as he was becoming lonely from the lack of any other forms of intelligent life that he could have interactions with that didn't involve extreme violence.

The land was becoming colder as time was passing, the forest was now covered in snow and ice, most of the animals have begone searching for food to keep themselves from starving.

Spencer was an exception because he does not need to eat for an extended period, his body was capable of maintaining its functions without food due to the survival conditions of the past era.

In his exploration spencer had come across a small trib of neanderthals, at the beginning of this discovery he was happy to have found this tribe, but he quickly grew conflicted on how he should go about approaching them, he was weary of them as they would be of him.

Spencer observed the tribe from the shadows for the past few days, examining them and learning how they act, so he may come up with a way of approaching them without the need for conflict.

Before he could do this, he would need to find a way that he could communicate with them, the language they were speaking did not appear to be English, instead, it was more comparable to a bundle of gibberish when he heard them speak.

Spencer could be seen on the edge of the tribs borders hiding behind an array of bushes, keeping his eye on the movement patterns of the neanderthals. He came up with the idea of absorbing one of them without alerting the people of the trib to his presence.

Erasing his presence, he stayed hidden in his wait. after a few hours of waiting behind the bushes, a lone neanderthal was walking in the direction of were Spencer was waiting.

The neanderthal got a little too close to Spencer's location, being in the perfect position for him to pounce. Spencer didn't let this chance escape his grasp, he lunged at the neanderthal and covered its mouth to keep it from making any noise to alert its brethren.

Immediately after he caught the neanderthal, Spencer morphed his hands into his claws and slit the throat of the neanderthal, before its body could slump to the floor, spencer absorbed it and instantly felt the changes.

From his absorption, he gained an influx of memories from the neanderthal, greatly detailing the events of its life up to the point of its death, he also gained an understanding of the language it spoke and how it would communicate with the others of its tribe.

Finishing scanning its memories, Spencer felt that he was ready enough to try and communicate them, he was tired of the wait for a connection with other lifeforms.

Wearing his animal skin clothing, Spencer began walking into the tribe of neanderthals in anticipation of what he could discover, maybe he could potentially form a sense of kinship with them. Something in the back of his mind told Spencer that this couldn't happen.
