2 Time skips

[Time skip to the day of awakening memories]

When young Erik Stevens awoke in his lower bunk bed at the orphanage he flinched at the memories pouring though his head. He decided there and then he would be Erik Stevens aka N'Jadaka to pay respects to his deceased father in this life. Thinking about his rough childhood where the orphanage is run on government benefits making it tight for the owners to provide everything for the children. Being understaffed as well being in the crime driven area of Oakland California meant that future prospects for most children was not very high. Erik was very lucky as the US government have accepted him with scholarship in the junior cadet program meaning he will be able to train safely at a gym and have dorms with better bedding and resources to prepare himself with.

He sat himself in his bed as it was only 5:00am and everyone is usually awake at 7 to do their errands or go to school. Erik started meditating drawing in the memories of Bruce Wayne and his indomitable will and practices of meditation he used the Shaolin breathing techniques to calm himself and allowed himself to compartmentalise all the memories and knowledge he received. From Bruce Wayne he recieved knowledge on how to train the body to peak human ability. Knowledge of 127 martial arts at a master level including boxing, kickboxing, wrestling, Karate, Muay Thai, Taekwondo, Savate, Eskrima, Krav Maga, Jeet Kune Do, Ninjutsu, Kung Fu, Judo, and Aikido and more. Expert marksmanship with guns and Batarangs, master spy abilities including espionage, intelligence gathering, stealth, infiltration, and sabotage. Knowledge of intimidation at a master level. Genius level intellect. Erik also gained master tactical abilities, master detective abilities, master deceiver, expert social Intuit, expert at interrogation networking, vehicle handling (cars, motorcycles, planes) and multilingualism with knowledge of how to fluently speak and write English, French, Spanish, Russian, Japanese, Mandarin, Cantonese, Filipino, Korean, Arabic, Turkish, Polish, Latin, Greek, Italian, Portuguese, Hebrew, Thai, Vietnamese, Swedish, Swahili and various alien and computer languages.

Erik was astonished with the wealth of knowledge and abilities he received from Bruce in his previous life despite being above average intelligence and near eidetic memory and spending majority of his time working towards his degrees in medicine and biochemistry he could not even come anywhere close to intellect that Bruce possessed and now he inherited.

He continued in to the knowledge of Lex Luthor and Sherlock Holmes and compartmentalised and memorised them.

He sat in shock and awe of these humans with their genius intellects and memories. Erik realised he needed to protect his mind somehow so restarted his meditation techniques and was transported to his barren mindscape. His mindscape right now was of the wakandan sunset with grass underneath his feet. He focused his new telepathic power and imagined a tree forming slowly that tree phased into existence. Erik realised he could manipulate his mind to his preference however it took great focus.

He formed a force field not unlike the ones in nova corps and wakanda in hexagonal shapes near the end of his mindscape. He then formed trees and vines not unlike devils snare (from Harry Potter) however he made them glow ominous red and purple and laced them with nth metal from dc and vibranium. The vines also had sharp spikes which contained scarecrows toxin and jokers toxin which will make the opponents mind go crazy with fear and hysteria preventing them from continuing. The next layer he decided would take inspiration from various of his fictional knowledge he formed various trolls, giants, dragons, demons, zombies all completely automated to attack with prejudice. The next layer would be a layer of illusions and confusion which would give false memories and confuse the viewer. The last layer before the tree of memories at the centre was black fence like portal which teleports the person back to the edge of the mindscape. The tree of mindscape had the memories on each leaf with all the important MCU and last life memories in its roots with poison soil.

At the end of this process Erik was kneeling in the ground with sweat falling from his brow he pulled all his memories in to the leaves on the tree. This reminded Erik of the world tree from norse mythology. Due to separating the memories on each leaf Erik had almost instant recall of all memories. He was proud of his work with his alien mindscape most practitioners will find it difficult to bypass unless they have a lot of power.

Erik (POV)

I looked over my mind scape and was proud of what I accomplished with my ability at such an early stage. I slowly brought myself to conciousness. I looked at the clock it had been only ten minutes since waking up. I got off the bed and used inherited knowledge to workout with yoga, callisthenics (body weight exercises) and martial arts kata which are compatible to my growing body to help reach its peak. I finished my exercises and left to complete my morning rituals before going to the orphanages kitchen where one of the workers was preparing breakfast for all the children. I quickly got my ration which was just about sufficient however did not satiate my hunger.

For the next hour I was helping out cooking and in return I received some left overs which helped for nutrients for my development and then waited for my cadet instructor to arrive and take me to my new dorms.

[Time skip 16 years old, year 2000]

Erik had trained extensively to bring his body and mind to peak human ability nearing superhuman and mastering many martial arts and abilities from memories of all individuals he selected. He had graduated from his cadets program and was given scholarship to Ivy League universities such as Yale and Princeton however chose Columbia as he wanted to stay in New York near all the events but also allowing him to chance to prepare.

Erik had planned his coming years so thoroughly and placed contingencies in place in the case of his unlikely death. Erik hadn't bided his time just working out and planning, he had developed his own new technology in the form of smart watch decades ahead of current technology which has its own A.I named Athena (after greek goddess of intelligence and wisdom) and with its pro hacking and tracking capabilities (inspired from gods eye fast and furious). Erik had arduously wrote the code for his AI letter by letter making it near impossible to copy and hack with current technology. Erik had also kept luna off of most high level clearance documents and data to not attract attention of wakanda and Zola.

Erik had also decided to open a company to help fight hunger and poverty which is prevalent in most countries. He decided to tackle this issue by monopolising markets that are currently lacking in this world. Gaming, cinema, consumer technology, clothing, media, online shopping, transportation, food. He decided to take inspiration from earth prime and made blueprints for his own version of Uber, Walmart, Amazon, eBay, Netflix, Facebook, Microsoft, Google, Nike, Adidas, apple, Samsung, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, Sony, Tesla and spaceX. Eric had his AI Athena configure business plans and hack into rival companies to figure out their company scandals and secrets. He knew that morally these actions were questionable however he knew that introducing these things to the market will help people with jobs increasing wealth for people allowing them better education and resources. The public will slowly start to think for themselves with the ability of instant media more people will be aware of global issues and less atrocities against human rights occur due to exposure of it to the vast populous. He also knew dominating the market this early on during the technological boom will help him with capital for future projects.

For most socioeconomic problems such as water shortages Erik had developed a new filter that turns sea water into drinking water. For these problems Erik had decided to open charities in most third world countries to help provide basic essentials to most of the population so they can live through poverty.

He had also planned to take over the underworld in New York and control major drug lords of South America as start to limit crime by preventing things like human trafficking and slavery. He knew crime was a necessity for most third world countries therefore until the living standards improve he would control the underworld with an iron fist. To do this venture he knew he would face a lot opposition with the hand, ten rings, hydra and even shield however with his telepathic abilities to control individuals and his anonymity most issues would be solved.

Erik knew perfectly well that all of this work even if done gradually will make him a target of assassination no matter his good intentions therefore most of his business deals will be done over video calls to prevent meeting individuals. He also decided to make clothes and armour with Kevlar and admantanium to prevent bullets from killing him. He had planned to use vibranium however its structure was near impossible to replicate and its stores were very limited almost all being in wakanda. He had also noted key trained and powered individuals that would work well in his company but also provide him with a level of protection.

All this planning planning with his AI had not stopped him from training his powers to the best of his time and resources available. For precognition he had achieved battle precognition, ability to see future disasters and negative outcome and almost spider sense like ability. For his healing factor it immensely difficult to train as inflicting damage on oneself in not easy and productive when wanting to function at optimal. His healing had increased and broken bones most major cuts would heal in a few hours, most major injuries would heal overnight. His stamina as a result of this was near superhuman due to healing factor almost preventing fatigue in muscles. He had also made himself immune to most commercial poisons and toxins as well as becoming immune to scarecrow and jokers toxin which he synthesised from memories. This made him near immune to all readily available poisons and toxins on earth. His last and most powerful ability was telepathy which had not only evolved by training to influencing others mind by placing thoughts, reading thoughts, wiping memories, controlling individuals, viewing memories but also thought acceleration and mind partition.

These four years had been immensely productive. He looked into the mirror and stood at a intimidating 6"0 with his beard hair starting to grow. Due to his good dietary habits and exercise his looks had enhanced to look more regal and royal and the air around him felt as though he was a predatory wild cat and the looker was caged with him. However the one thing different about this Erik apart from his enhanced looks are the golden eyes that are reminiscent of killmonger's golden vibranium armour.

He was at his new hideout in an abandoned factory where he brought the land with money he stole with the help his AI from drug lords.

He had purchased a lot of equipment which he rebuilt to update to his specs. His hideout was reminiscent of the bat cave with its large super computer connected to his smartwatch and AI with his arsenal of weapons he brought from various suppliers and Kevlar mesh casual and costumed clothing. His new hideout was large but occupied the basement of the factory. The upper levels of the factory intact housed a gym with an indoor pool, sauna and track for his workouts. Erik understood the need for privacy and protection so built titanium walls all around the inside of ta walls and build projector screens to show the outside the image of dead rats, sewage, toxic waste and building corroding on itself. With motion detecting fences with state of the art camera with radiation and demolition signs most people would not even come within 50 feet of the building. However for the adventures folk he had built robot life like canines which look like Dobermans and Rottweilers prevent intruders. However the people truly trying to break in would be hit with smoke grenades and toxic gases which will render the person unconscious if this fails then deadly silenced turrets are deployed (custom hand built) which is operated by his AI. They also contain Armour permitting rounds which will prevent most intruders allowing me enough time to come and stop any people from entering.

To prevent any people with abilities such as teleportation or sorcery from entering there is a DNA laser scanner present in all rooms which detect any intruders and employ deadly measures from bullets to gases to drowning to quicksand floor and spikes to even blowing up the base as a last option.

Erik looked at his hideout immensely proud of himself for building all of this with limited time. However he soon frowned he needed more power to prevent the future from occurring.

He looked at his notes for building power available in coming years

-Chi

-Oz serum

-Spider bite

-Extremis

-Casket of Winters

-Immortal Flame

-Apple of idun

-Space stone

-Reality stone

-Asgardian blood

-kree blood

-other experimental serums.

Sorcery stood out to him he was aware that the ancient one probably already knew of his presence due to the time stone in the eye of agamotto. He knew he needed to confront her to prevent any future negative interactions.

He got a few weapons ready such as custom silenced pistols, needles in hair and small blade in mouth. Poisoned Daggers in shins. As well as custom kevlar tracksuit. And made his way through the city to 177A Bleecker Street, Greenwich Village. As he stood outside the New York sanctum he couldn't help be nervous of what may occur in the coming moments. He knocked two times on the handle of the door and awaited for the door to open.

The door open end and the face that greeted me was a much younger Wong, master of mystic arts.
