Survival: An MCU story.

15 years, I've been living in this world for 15 years now. It all started when I died after being hit by a bus. I was just walking when a bus just came at me at a speed that should've been impossible. I was 25 when I died.

New world but I still have my memories from the past life. Oh, I forgot to mention, my name is Steve Ohara. I laughed the first time I heard my full name, it came from an anime back there on my past life. I thought this was just normal earth and the reincarnation cycle just messed up and it let me keep my memories. Until I saw a mini Tom Holland in a nearby school that I went to. It didn't hit me until my next class. It is my first week in this school, Midtown School of Science and Tech. That wasn't Tom Holland, that was Peter Parker.

I'm just an orphan in New York, I don't want to do anything with the Avengers, I'm just a normal human being. I need to leave this state before shit starts to happen. Only if my family will go through. I went home that day with anxiety. I at least have something special, I'm a genius when it comes to techs like Tony and Peter. I went to the public library and just started to read whatever I could find and found a book in engineering. I fell in love with it when I was 7. So I invested most of my time in the library and just read through everything about tech and engineering. I didn't read anything about the starks which was weird but I should've read history. Hell, I should've watched the news a bit instead of just studying.

Now it comes hurtling like the bus that I'm not in a normal world. I reached my home when Christina, my adoptive mother, is watching the news and there it is, RDJ, no, Tony Stark, bloodied, a battery attached to his chest and is currently being held, hostage.

"Hey, Steve! How's school?" Christina with little Bella on her lap. She became my foster mother at the age of 5. She adopted the 1-year old Bełla just 2 years ago. "Just so-so, where's Dad?" Oh yeah, they adopted me when I was ten, I got their last name Ohara, it was the happiest day of my life. Even if I'm older inside, just having someone commit to taking care of you is heartwarming. "Your Dad just went out."

I got near them and held a hand out to Bella who is focused on her creation of legos. "Hey, Sis!" She got surprised and looks at me. Her toothy smile just brightens up and her eyes were glittering. "BROTHER!!" She goes in for a hug, HARD. "Oof!" She might've knocked a bit of wind out of me. "Hey, could you let go?" She just shakes her head against my stomach. "She. Was waiting for you for the entire day now. Hey honey, you wanted to show something to your brother right?"

Bella then turns and picks up her lego block and showed it to me, "Look! I made a car!" She shows me a deformed car with square wheels while the wheel-shaped ones are inside the "car". I took the car and just said "Mine!" And I ran off as I made car sounds.

"Nooo!!" Bella even when she shouted no, she was smiling and laughing as she chased me. I saw Mom smiling at us. When Mom looked back at the TV, she had a bit of a serious look as it still shows Tony Stark.

After playing with Bella, I told mom that I wanted to go out for a bit. "Sure, just be home before dinner". Cool, 7 pm it is.

I rode on my bike and went to the nearest park. I wanted to think alone, and away from my family. They'll be a bit distracting if I stayed home. I sat down under a tree and just contemplated. Even if I wanted to go, I can't just leave my family here. Maybe train to get stronger? Ha! No amount of training could save me. Maybe reach hawkeye level in 2 decades? Even then it will be too late.

But still, why not? Just for the heck of it, I stood up and started punching the tree.

*Whack*

*Whack*

*Whack*

Hmm? It doesn't hurt? So I continued punching it. Then it vanished, the part I was punching vanished into thin air. Immediately, the top part fell and was heading towards me. It toppled and I was able to dodge in time. People saw it and was going towards me. So I just darted off and didn't look back.

.....WTF HAPPENED?!?

——————

Now, four of us is sitting around the dining table. Which is just a weird mix of people, why? I'm half black as seen by my light black skin. My mother is half Japanese, Christina. My father is a white man from Hawaii, Patrick Ohara. And my adoptive sister Bella who has Mexican descent.

We're just a happy family and close to one another. We finished our meal and I immediately excused myself. I sat on the bed and just think of what happened earlier. Was I that strong? I close my eyes and think of the part of the trunk that vanished. Then I felt some weight on my hand. I opened my eyes and in front of me is a big trunk.

"Okay," I'm panicking inside my head. So, I have powers. I don't think that was Gene-X. I hope. Then I felt something. I felt that I could do something with this trunk. I close my eyes again and focused on that feeling. Then the feeling of the bark of the trunk vanished. It was replaced by a smooth surface.

I opened my eyes and the trunk turned into wooden planks, 4 of them. It just looks like one, but I know there are 4 of them. "Okay," now I'm screaming inside my head. This is really really strange. Was that magic? Or something else? Gene-X was definitely not that extra-personal unless we're talking about omega level mutants.

Then there is that feeling again. I can do something with it. This time, I didn't close my eyes and just look at what is going to happen. From my hands, the 1 in 4 planks split up and slowly and surely started to form into shape in front of me. It took a minute before it stopped. Every second of that minute, I am screaming internally because I'm slowly recognizing what these four planks are turning into. "This is a fucking joke," that is all I could say.

In front of me, from those 4 planks, is a table. A table I could use, without a doubt, to craft items. It's a square crafting table. From Minecraft.
