Where I Really Come From

My conscious was really tired. I feel as if someone just threw a nuke at my head. I reach up to hold my headache only to be surprised, my skin was pitch dark with a slight purple hue to it. I look around try to move to learn that i was stuck.

I turn to ny surroundings and find myself trapped inside of a violet energy space sealing my every movement. What happened?

I stop moving and think really hard on the events up to now. Where did it go wrong? Robert? No as far as i knew he was dead years ago, i thought Essex failed to modify him never did i think he was holding him as a secret weapon against me.

He was stronger than i was but why? Even a younger Viltrumite should be able to rip through mountains and i was able to face Kara easily. So why was i so weak against him?

No it's not that i got weaker? It happened when he touched me. I felt like he was absorbing my energy? But how? How did Essex know to plan for that? What am I? Where am i?

"Have you finally calmed down child?" My eyes immediately follow the voice to find a woman with the same skin as me except she had bright glowing eyes and long wavy pink energy hair. She almost looked like

"An Anodite?"

"Well aren't you the clever one. So young too, its quite the talent for you to shed your physical skin at such a young age. I was 50 before my first shed."

"Shed? Wait whats going on? Where am i?"

"You are currently in Ano-space. Its a collective space created by Anodites to house the energy of our fallen brethren. Since we do not have physical bodies unless needed when we wish to sleep or pass we come here. Now my question to you is what are you? I have met many Anodites in my time but your energy is so strong it shouldve burnt your physical body to ashes in minutes."

"Uh my name is Damien Nyxxus and to be honest um I'm not exactly sure what i am anymore."

"Interesting. What about your lineage? Who are your parents?"

"No idea. Ive never had any."

"Child in order for you to be here that means your heritage can't have been simple. If you do not remember then allow me to assist you."

One of her pink hair thingies floated over to me before resting in between my brow as it glowed slightly.

A shock of pain assaulted me, memories both old and supressed suddenly starts filling my head as i scream into the emptiness.

Flashes of a different earth, a woman in pink spandex with long orange hair reshaping atoms and molecules with her abilities, a guy who fought his people to protect earth. My parents.

The flashes continue as i remember i had an older sister.

Flashback

"Mark we have to do something now. We're not gonna make it. Terra, Markus, and Damien are all already in escape pods." Eve said hurriedly to her husband as he stood there watching as the imposing fleet open fire on their little space cruiser.

"I can escape but we need to get the kids to safety, you go with them, ive set the pods to go to Vanahel where Allen will pick you guys up. Eve this isn't the time to argue, just go."

At that moment the ship got blasted again seperating the ship from the three escape pods.

"MARK!"

"I GOT THEM! GET TO A POD EVE! HURRY!"

Mark jumped out of the ship rushing full speed to the nearest pod successfully catching Markus.

He was headed for the last two pods when a cosmic storm hit and the pods were lost in front of his eyes.

"NOOOOOOOO!" Mark screamed in pain and agony as he looked towards the imposing fleet.

Eve sat down and started crying thinking how she lost her two babies and her eyes flashed pink.

All of these memories hit Damien like a truck as he floated there, sad and lost.

"My sister? Where is she?" he finally managed to choke out.

"Thats an interesting question. Perhaps she has yet to shed her physical skin. But the question for you now Damien. You know who you are so i ask you. What now? What will you do?"

He sat there in contemplation for a minute before coming to a decision "I need to go back. I have so many questions about my birth family, but i have a new family waiting for me as well."

The Anoditian lady smiled and said "Very well, but be warned your true form will be harmful to any energy sensitive being. I suggest you recreate your physical shell first. Viltrumites are strong however their DNA is stubborn. While creating this body allow it to be more open to let your anodite powers flow. You can do anything your mind can imagine as long as you have the power."

"How do i create a physical body?"

"Practice, think of yourself, how you looked, who you were, who you want to be and allow yourself to recraft your body. You can rearrange atoms at your will. Bend reality and create to your whims. Let it flow through you and become who you want."

He sat there in silence as he slowly started recreating his physical body. Muscle by muscle piece by piece.

The process took a while as he had to allow the Viltrumite body to allow his Anodite energy to flow, taking him into a new stage of strength as his muscles were reinforced. You can throw 10 Sentrys at him and he'll laugh at their struggle.

He took a deep breathe and looked towards the lady floating there "Thank you. For everything. But i have to leave now. May i know your name so i know who to thank in the future."

"But of course, i merely guided you to where you should've gotten too naturally, as for my name you can call me...Gwen."

"Thank you Gwen. I surely hope when we meet again its under more favorable circumstances." He said that and imagined his lab on the WatchTower before teleporting away.

Gwen looked at the space and hummed quietly before speaking "Are you sure you didn't want to meet him?" She looked back to a girl in her mid 20s with long Orange hair who simply turned around and began walking away "Terra you cannot hide forever. One day the two of you are indeed going to have to face your pasts. I just hope you'll be ready."

Invincible teleported to the WatchTower to find the whole place in darkness and everything covered. "Hello? Anyone here?"

He began walking around turning on the unused equipment before he felt something on his back. He did a quick spin and grabbed the throat before slamming the person to the ground.

"VAIT!" screamed the scared person.

"....Kurt? What happened to you? Where is everyone?"

Standing in front of me was a pale skinny white guy, i helped him up looking him over and he just hugged me.

"You're alive? How? Its been months. Where have you been? Oh the team is gonna....no the team..."

"Kurt what happened?" I ask the guy as he releases his image inducer.

"We tried Damien. We did. Its been 6 months since you've been gone. Tony Stark became Iron Man proving regular people can protect themselves, the governments turned on us, The Bill went through. After you died there was no one left to stop Sentry from running around doing as he pleased. It all changed when he fought Magnetos group. The fight between him and the juggernaut threw the city into chaos. Widow and Logan did their best sending all the metas to Viltrum and a month ago robots started appearing hunting Metas. We're hiding on Mars right now but i came over when the systems came online."

"Dammit, what about my wives Kurt?"

"They're all fine, and collectively ruling Viltrum. The Savage continent isnt under their control and neither is Wakanda but they have an alliance after moving their city there. We've pretty much left Earth alone since they started killing us."

I grab his shoulder and say "Take me to my family Kurt." He smiles and we poof away.
