Ch.1

After arriving in a back alley somewhere in Queens in the 1950's, a very recognizable bald woman appeared. I smiled as the ancient one bowed to me shortly before speaking. "I hope you're not here to cause problems for me."

I chuckled. "Nothing like that. I'm well aware you've seen the future or some of them from this point on. I'd simply like to ask that you keep them to yourself. I'm not one for spoilers unless it's important."

She nodded. "I can do that. I have a place for you to train in Kamar-Taj. Once you've gotten used to this realities magic I have a request before you leave."

She waved a hand in a circle causing a portal to appear. I chuckled and followed her through. When we arrived she showed us our room and told us where to find everything when we're ready. We settled in and flipped through their library of books over the next week before trying out this worlds magic. It was different and slightly odd as I could tell it was influenced by many factors.

I took some of its ideas and added them to my own. Now I could create energy shields and whips as easy as the masters. The mirror dimension and all others were opened up to us when she helped us focus our inner eyes. Once we were done training a month later, we went to leave after she declared us masters of the arts.

She asked if we'd like the eye to guard ourselves and I turned her down. "Leave it for Strange. Relax, once your connection with the dark dimension is broken when you die, I'll bring you back and give you the youth and freedom you crave."

She bowed in thanks before asking her boon. "All I ask is that you protect this planet while you're here."

I sighed. "From conflict comes growth and growth comes peace. Conflict follows peace in and endless cycle. I'll tell you what, I won't allow this world to be destroyed while we're here, but barring absolute destruction, I won't step in with my full power."

She bowed and smiled. "That's all I can hope for."

I snorted. "You can always hope for more because like every other emotion, it is infinite. Now we'll be off. I need to start building a business here."

Prue, Chloe and Bonnie stayed in Kamar-Taj to help teach the ancient one more Magic's while Kali went to find her double. I had no double here so I was free to build a business empire. Ayana joined me as she wanted to advance her learning of the genetics of this world.

The humans aren't evolving like she did naturally but taking other paths. Some because of alien DNA while others because of the celestial DNA they carry in them. We began in New York and built a small technology enterprise called Heretic worlds.

I introduced the microwave and many other home appliances like bug zappers and the like while taking military contracts for body armor spun by spiders. While doing that I created a clone that snuck into wakanda and scanned the vibranium meteorite. When it was done, it copied their database and left with a scan of there heart shaped herb.

After delivering it to me I made more clones that went to turn desolate planets into vibranium and collect them. Some went to find and scan mutants like Wolverine and En Sabah Nur. Magneto and Charles were on that list as well. Thousands of my clones dispersed into shadows to do their jobs while I created a few more to seek out other things like hidden races.

I turned my full attention to building my empire. Over the next two decades I butted heads with Stark industries and we came to a mutual agreement that I'd stay out of the weapons industry if they stayed away from my interests.

I created a movie Industry by hiring the likes of George Lucas, Woody Allen, Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese. I left them in charge as they spit out hits after hits under Heretic World pictures.

I jumped the gun in the late seventies and created the internet after launching severely advanced satellites and buying up most of the space for orbiting them. My company took off from there as we now butted heads with governments to keep them off my ass about controlling it. I absolutely refused to let them have control and Stark backed me on it to avoid a government dictatorship.

They backed down and I went on to make newer and better things. I legally rebirthed myself a few years later as my own son. In there eyes I'd had a kid while in mine he was a clone that would publicly grow to look decently like me. My own form was close to that of Sean Bean. My new one would look more like Jason Mamoa once he grew up.

Shape shifting was rather easy for me but changing into animals other than an ape or a wolf still eluded me. I'd tried changing into a dragon and a Phoenix several times but it came out wrong. Even as a god I'm not perfect it seems.

Even the simple creatures like a frog or bird was no different. Over the years Ayana has built up the medical industry under Heretic Worlds banner with cures for all types of diseases while she worked on mutant DNA and the super soldier serum in secret. She'd most recently started working on her own version of extremis.

Medical technology was shipped out as she made them to suit her needs. Together we covered all fields not directly military. I'd backed out of making body armor so that Stark could have a go at it after I gave him the formula.

For the next two decades I hid myself deeper in the shadows and my 'son' became known as a genius. He graduated in the early nineties as one of the youngest genius Doctors alive. At the age of eighteen I took his place and he became my elder clone.

Ayana has reinvented herself as her own daughter in LA while she continued her work in secret. I watched on as the 'Starks' were killed. I knew some things were meant to be and I didn't want to dictate the life and death of everyone. After their death I bought up ten percent of their company when the stock went down. Staine was there to pick up the rest.

I kept away from Stark industries and focused on building more advanced things to up the ante. Tony came into the scene as another young billionaire with a bone to pick with the world. He began stepping into my territory with his random and sporadic tech he'd build on occasions.

Staine tried to reign him in as he knew Heretic Worlds had become their equal and if they picked a fight, we'd go out bloody, taking them down with us. He apologized on several occasions while To y ignored him and kept choosing different fields to play in.

For the most part he stayed out of my way until the early 2000s. Then it became a race as he turned it into a competition of who had the best ideas. We both hit the spotlight as the war of tech went on. I stayed away from weapons and instead focused on military vehicles and body armor.

We went toe to toe for nearly a decade while the real tech I'd been saving until Shield was cleaned up. One of my clones happened to have started a war between hydra and the hand a few years back and since then both sides were dying off quickly. I'm hoping by the time Captain America comes around to dealing with Shield, I'll be able to wipe out the hand.

Another of my clones had long since entered Kun-Lun to learn about chi. While more still were pouring in every few months and weeks even with mutant DNA samples and alien tech.

We continued to compete in everything but woman and weapons. I'd even built a far more advanced AI to keep Jarvis out of my systems. It beat Jarvis down bad enough I called it the Red Queen. She followed my old AI's mandate to never harm humans and only follow mine and my wive's orders. Bonnie and girls popped by every few months for dates or sex depending on their moods.

They still hadn't begun to show but I could see the babies growing in the very slowly. Our time spent together was precious as they were basically full time teachers to the ancient one. We'd collected a lot of different Magic's from nearly every reality we'd visited so there was centuries of spells and techniques to be taught.

Back to my current dilemma, Tony was about to go on his big weapons show for the military. I'd been stockpiling technology to be released upon his departure. I'd already made a miniature arch reactor and then took it farther with the element his father discovered. It was nothing for the red queen to sneak into their systems for an image of his father's model.

With that I'd built an even better reactor and then put it away. I had my own iron legion in my basement under my house on my private island just off the coast of California. Yes, I repurposed Alcatraz after I bought it for a song. I'd gone so far as to even turn it into an impenetrable fortress.

It was there that most of my good tech was located. I had properties all over the world along with buildings for my company. I hadn't even had to sell stock and diversify as I was self funded. Therefore the stock market had no bearings or influence on my company. It made taxes a pain but I hired all locally so I did receive tax breaks as I brought steady jobs.

I'd received a few humanitarian awards in my new form already while my old one could've made an island of all the gold and glass awards I'd received in it. My 'father' died in his sleep at the ripe old age of seventy six a couple years back and as the new CEO I was on the cover of nearly every magazine as a titan of industries.

Titan my dog died a few years after I'd arrived and I didn't have the heart to go all pet cemetery on him. Poor guy loved me till the day he keeled over in his sleep slobbering on a bone. I hadn't had a real pet since but I did happen to pick up a cat a few years back that ate a literal cow a day. He'd already spit out the tesseract by the time I'd found him.

Anyway, enough about my Goose, on to more current events. I warned Tony to be careful but he blew it off saying he'd be one up on our big struggle when he got back. We'd become friendly rivals and even just plain friends over the years. Him with all his women and me mostly alone publicly.

It'd gotten so bad that I was America's number one bachelor in the magazines. I'd ignored it until Tony let slip his thoughts that I was gay and was secretly in love with him. Then I crashed one of his parties and planted a kiss on the man that had him spluttering.

It helped that I had Ayana at my side that night. I proceeded to make out with her hot and heavily before leaving saying. "Tony, you wish I could love you like that. Next time you get snarky you'll wake up with male escorts in your bed."

Que the spluttering and laughing as we left. The magazines had a hay day and he never made another comment about my sexuality. Hell, I'd been alive so long It made little difference to me what others liked. I'd seen it all and was ambivalent towards races, sexuality and creeds. I barely cared about food and evil.

Now he was on his way to do the presentation to the military and I was dishing out all kinds of technology. I'd did a mass release that brought the world just shy of the nano age. From electric cars to medical beds that scan bodies and cure diseases, I released it all.

I even released flight stabilizers and hover technology. That caught the attention of Shield as they began doing searches and trying to access my database. I shut that shit down by reverse hacking them and copying all their files. They didn't see that part but they did send Natasha Romanov in as my new secretary.

I wanted to slap and thank Fury at the same time. I also wanted to tell him to get a better move but I'd been searching for her for years. By the time she was out of the red room she'd done some stupid shit that I was forced to reverse and when I turned my attention back to her she'd disappeared into the background of society.

When I came out of my office to see her sitting there I asked where Samantha, my previous assistant went. "Oh, she took a vacation. Don't worry I'm up to date on everything including your itinerary and schedules."

I nodded slowly. "Then let's get to work. Set up the meetings and be sure to keep up. I'm really busy this month so you'll have to learn as you walk."

I met with the Russian, Chinese, Spanish, British and Latvarian ambassadors on different policies for my new products. I saw Natasha's surprise when I spoke to them fluently in their own languages and accents.

When I saw she wasn't taking notes I apologized to my most recent meeting assembly and turned to her whispering. "If you aren't keeping up please send in someone who can on your way out."

She was knocked out of her daze when I told her that and began writing everything down. After the first day of meetings and scheduling I spoke with the board members I'd hired to ensure everything run smoothly. She gave each of them the agreements I'd made and we left the building.

After calling the car around she rode with me in the back and I finally asked her. "Would you care to go out with me on a few dates to see more of my world?"

She frowned for a minute but I continued. "I don't get out much for dates as I'm either in my offices, labs or out in the field helping to make sure everything runs smoothly. You're a beautiful woman and I don't see a ring on your finger as of yet."

She was taken aback by my blunt manner and I continued. "If you don't then think nothing of it, I don't like to push."

She finally regained her speech and answered. "I think I'd like that."

I nodded. "Alright, Schedule us a date for tomorrow night and cancel all meetings except the one we're going to now."

She nodded and tapped on her pad while we drove to the airport. We flew in my jet to Africa to oversee schools and houses being built. I was even delivering drought resistant grains and seeds that would grow over night. By tomorrow morning most of Africa would have clean water and food they could eat.

Several cargo planes were following us there. We talked about our pasts while we flew there. Most of it was just from this life's interests. I told her of a few projects I'd had that would end wars and fighting. I even told her I was releasing limb regeneration technology in a couple weeks. "We're making large strides to heal this world and I hope it's enough to end the fighting and at least see some family's brought back together."

She seemed intrigued and asked about weapons designs I told her honestly. "I don't build weapons, it's the one field I gladly leave to Stark. I'll build a shield or plane that could fly to the moon but I don't touch weapons."

She frowned. "Why's that?"

I sighed. "Weapons take lives, I learned at a young age that I was simply too good at doing that. I don't want to go back to that unless it's absolutely necessary."

That drew her in more and she asked. "What happened that you'd take a life?"

I shrugged. "A mugging gone wrong. I was six and when the guy pulled a gun on my parents and I, I ripped him apart. My father covered it up as self defense but I knew from then on I was a whole nother beast entirely."

I shifted my eyes and she gasped before reaching for some invisible weapon that wasn't there. I chuckled and changed them back. "Relax, I won't harm you. I was nearly showing you a glimpse of the beast inside."

She calmed down a little but still stayed ready to strike. "What are you?"

I sighed. "A werewolf of sorts. It was an experiment if you will that my mother was working on when she gave birth to me. It backfired and now I can change into a wolf and shatter even the strongest of metals like toys. I walk through the world like it's made of glass so I don't break anyone or anything. It's why I'm mostly alone all the time."

She asked a few more questions before ending on. "Are you contagious?"

I shook my head. "Lord no, I'm completely self contained. It doesn't spread from anything I've tried. I made sure of that by running my blood and saliva against everything. The human body fights it off like it was never even there. You'd practically have to be born with it to even catch it."

She sighed and finally relaxed completely. "So, do you change on the full moon?"

I shrugged. "The moon has some sway over me yes, but I've learned to change when I want after I grew strong enough. Rage and heightened emotions trigger the strength and I only shifted if I will it so now."

She wrote that down and I chuckled while she asked. "How strong are you exactly? How durable?"

I shrugged. "I learned as a kid bullets can't hurt me. Since then I built a workout room and found no limit to my strength. I can lift anything I've made as easy as you breathe and the angrier I get the stronger I get. I've tested the limits and found I had none. I don't exactly have anything to test them against anymore. I even built a gravity room and I maxed it out at a hundred thousand times earths gravity. Still no changes when I walk into it though."

The more I talked the more intrigued she became. She asked about mood swings and things like that and I shook my head. "Only on the night of the full moon do I get a little cranky. It feels like my skin itches and becomes uncomfortable to be in. I long for freedom to run and feel the air on my fur."

We continued the twenty questions game before I finally spoke up. "Your turn. I've noticed you smell different from normal humans. Like something in you is mixed wrongly. I've even noticed your reflexes and movements. They each suggest military training and not the kind you get in the marines."

She dropped the facade after asking. "Are you sure you want to know?"

I nodded. "I'm truly curious and I want to know the real you."

She spoke of her background that was mostly training with some fake BS black ops team. When she finished I sighed. "Fine, don't tell me then. Anyway, Natalie, if that is your real name, do you still want to date me?"

She looked iffy for a bit before raising an eyebrow. "So long as you're not contagious sure."

I chuckled. "Unless you want kids, I can't really pass it on."

She froze for a microsecond before blowing it off saying. "I'm sterile. It was a piece of shrapnel from an IED in Russia."

I raised an eyebrow before sighing. "Then you've nothing to worry about from me. Now love, care to skip the first date and ride the wolf?"

She quirked an eyebrow before setting down her tablet. We went at it for hours. We were still having sex by the time we landed. We wrestled for dominance for a while and that only seemed to turn her on more. When she rode me like a bucking bull I heightened hers and my senses of touch causing us both to go over the edge as I filled her up.

She was just like my other wives in the aspect that she absolutely went wild when I entered her deepest depths and filled it full. She were still connected when she actually passed out on top of me. I let her sleep while I enjoyed the feeling of her on me. She was soft yet firm as apposed to my soft muscles thanks to the Kryptonian DNA.

No matter how bulky I was, my muscles seemed to stay soft as silk to the touch. When she came to a half hour later and moved suddenly, it drew a moan from us both. I was still lodged in her deepest passage and she was still full of essence of me.

When she sat up, it caused me to bump against the back of her deepest depths. That in turn brought me back in the game and her moaning a gasp and trying to slide off of me. It only seemed to work in the sense that a bulge formed like a wolfs would in my member and she gasped and cried out as I sent her over another edge.

We were still very sensitized and her movement triggered another round of orgasms. I started to cum again inside her and her eyes rolled back into her head as her stomach started to bulge a little. When I finally softened I rolled us over and slid out of her, causing her to shake and moan as another orgasm hit her. My seed spilled out all over the sheets of the bed we'd taken to using for those long trips over seas.

When we'd soaked the sheets, I carried her to the bathroom and helped her into the tub. While she woke up to a bubble bath and champagne, I cleaned up the bed and myself. When she came out still nude looking for her clothes I pointed to the neat pile on the bed.

"I had them cleaned, pressed and ready while you had a soak. I didn't want you to worry about looking unpresentable. As for the bed, it's been taken care of. No traces of either of us are on it. I didn't know whether you'd want to take it slowly after this or not so I left nothing for the gossip mongers to talk about."

She smiled and I ignored the sample she was carrying of my semen. I'd made sure to lock the DNA and make it unusable before I came so I wasn't worried. At best they'd be able to see wolf DNA with some partial super soldier serum mixed in. One of my clones had brought a sample from the past and I'd added it to my ever growing body. It didn't really boost anything but it did compliment the Alteran DNA.

She pretended to be shy while she got dressed and I gave her the privacy. It's not like she could get anything off me that I don't want her to know so there's no need to worry. When she finished, she asked. "What are the tattoos about?"

I sighed. "Some are Norse from my fathers side while others are tribal from my mothers side. The rest I thought looked nice. I had to use a special laser to put them on as nothing could penetrate my skin easily enough to do it the old fashioned way."

She picked up her tablet and skimmed over her files before noticing I hadn't even touched it. I wasn't interested in messing with her like that so she moved on. We got down to business and went to greet the locals. I spoke in several dialects fluently to the point where she was having trouble keeping up.

When I met with what was clearly a Wakanda representative, she was completely left behind as I spoke in their native tongue. Even they were surprised but I left no room for them to argue as I switched to English. "I speak every language this world has to offer. I've studied the languages picked up by my satellites over the years. I only caught what was spoken in public like the market place. I'm sorry if that offends you."

He shook his head and switched to English. "I'm not offended, only surprised. I've never heard anyone not from Wakanda speak so fluently in our language. If I didn't know better I'd say you were from Wakanda."

I shook my head with a smile. "Thank you but no, it was something my satellites picked up some ten years ago and I'd studied with the rest of my language studies. It took forever to get right but once I did it all became worth it today."

He nodded. "My king is interested in why you've decided to help so much in Africa."

I shrugged. "Because that is where the need is most. My planes are ready to start dumping seeds that will grow foods all across the continent. Once the winds carry them no one will go hungry here again. I've prepared a packet for every representative including your king on the seeds. They are harmless and very helpful to the environment. Once the representatives have agreed, I'm prepared to lay plumbing and water wells in every village in Africa. Schools and teachers will arrive in a months time. I intend to turn all of Africa into a modern country."

He nodded. "I will take this news to my king."

I handed him a packet and he left. We continued on our way to meet the other representatives that had shown up. After the meeting they all left to make their calls. I'd receive confirmation soon enough hopefully. While we waited yells and screams started to sound and I heard the name Sowande, the butcher being yelled out.

I told Natalie to hide herself and ran out into the night. When Sowande and his people came through I shifted and tore them apart. The ninja bastards and the finger himself were no match for my wolf form. When I finished and was sure they were all dead, I disappeared into the night. I caught a glimpse of Natalie on the roof of a nearby building as I fled in my wolf form.

I went back to my plane for a shower and some clothes before heading back to the meeting. I'd left a pile of burning wreckage in my wake and body parts all over the place. The vehicles were little more than scrap as I had to smash one I to the other repeatedly to kill some of the nearly undead ninjas.

The village was alive with word of a white wolf guardian. It was on everyone's lips and mind while I waited in the meeting room for Natalie and the rest of the representatives. She came in first as calm and cool as if she'd never followed me out there in the first place. I asked her in a hushed tone. "How much did you see?"

She sighed. "Everything from the shift, to you running off towards the airport. You weren't kidding when you said you were deadly."

I snorted. "You'll never have to fear me Natalie, that I can easily promise you."

She nodded. "Call me Natasha."

I smiled. "Natasha it is then love. I'd never hurt you, at least not if I can help it and it'd never be physical either way."

She raised an eyebrow at that and I sighed. "My life is complicated. Suffice it to say you may not like what you find if you learn everything."

Before she could respond the representatives came back in. The first one spoke that spoke for Egypt said. "I apologize if we are later than expected. Something came to our attention and great news is spreading across Africa. Sowande the butcher is dead and the turmoil across the north will settle down soon. News of his death is spreading and soon all of Africa will celebrate this day. A new guardian of Africa has been named as the white wolf. They are saying it is as strong as the black panther guardian. We can only pray they are right."

I nodded slowly. "And your people's response to my offers?"

His smile grew wider. "Yes, yes, our president and leaders have looked it over and agreed to your most generous help to Africa. We would like to thank you personally as your donations will help our families as well as many others. Today will became a two fold glorious day for Africa!"

I grinned and called the workers giving the go ahead. When I set my phone down I told the group. "By sun up all of Africa will have more food than they will know what to do with. My people will arrive to install the plumbing and ensure wells are properly dug for every village. By this time next month schools will be built in every village and teachers will arrive with doctors to treat all the sick and injured. By three years from know all of Africa will have grown beyond these petty wars over territory."

They all rejoiced while I sent the orders to begin it all. We stayed to watch as the seeds were sprinkled out all over the place. We by morning those seeds were growing into tons of vegetables and fruits of every kind. I was speaking to the representatives about trying to clone or speed up animal matings to ensure meat supplies to them all.

Families were coming out and being told the food was for everyone as it was growing as far as the eyes could see. The celebrated even as the rest of them learned of Sowande and the white wolf. All of Africa rejoiced. The representative of Wakanda had arrived with his king, T'Chaka.

I bowed a little respectfully and he bowed back before he spoke. "All of Africa owes you a great debt. I've spoken to my goddess Bast and she says you are welcome in Wakanda, White wolf."

I stilled and looked around. The other representatives had already long since left so I relaxed a little while Natasha grew curious about how he knew it was me. I shrugged. "Tell your goddess I appreciate the gesture but I assure you I do not covet Wakanda's resources. I'm well aware of your secrets and need no herbs or metals for my research. I may stop by for a visit some time to view the paradise you've created though if you'll allow me to."

He seemed shocked for a second before laughing loudly. "Bast said you'd say something like that. You are most welcome any time."

I nodded and saluted him with a Wakandan warrior gesture before whispering so only he'd hear me. "Your brother had a son. I'd be careful of the young panther seeking revenge. Tell your son he needs to prepare for the fight of his life if he's to inherit your crown."

His pupils dilated before he nodded subtly letting me know he'd heard me. He left after that still in a slightly joyous mood. We followed not long afterwards boarding the jet and heading back to New York. As we flew over Africa Natasha looked out over the country with wide eyes.

When she recovered she spoke. "You've fed an entire country and your people are arriving as we speak to install water and plumbing for every village in Africa. What are you going to do next, end all wars?"

I chuckled and shook my head. "No, I can't do that. Well, I'm sure I could if I put my mind to it, but I wouldn't even if I could. Wars, like peace, is apart of the life cycle. Conflict and resolution over and over again ensure that humans always keep advancing towards a higher learning. Without a World War Two, no one would've been motivated to find the atomic bomb-"

She snorted. "Like that was a good thing!"

I sighed. "In a way it was. Although it was horrible, it also led to nuclear power plants and brought humanity out of the pure coal and electricity age. Humanity has advanced further since World War Two than after any other war since or before. With great loss comes great discovery. Think of it like growing pains. You only truly feel it for awhile then you've grown and experienced other things."

"Like having sex for the first time, sure it's messy and confusing but after you've gotten passed that you can find what you truly enjoy. Your sensitive spots and turn ons, even your kinks. Life is like that all over, and in many different stages and levels. Without war there can never truly be peace as no one would understand what peace was until war happens."

She smirked a little. "That's the first time I've heard it said like that. War and sex, huh."

I chuckled. "Well, that's my outlook anyway. While I don't really advocate for war, I see it as a necessary evil and I try to minimize the death toll where I can. Hence the healing and armor technology. Speaking of which, I'd like to offer to have my people try and heal your sterility if you'd like. We're regrowing limbs and cloning organs easy enough so we should be able to repair any and all damage you've ever experienced, that is, if you want."

Emotions truly played across her face for the second time since I'd met her. The first being the fear I'd seen and smelled when I told her what I was. Now it was excitement and relief along with hope and something I couldn't put my finger on. When she finally gathered herself up she spoke evenly. "I don't know what they'll be able to do, I've had the best doctors money could buy try and they've all told me the same thing, I'm sterilized. They blast forced the doctors to remove my ovaries."

I nodded slowly. "It should be easy enough to repair once we're at the labs. I'll have them clone your genetic structure into ovaries and a full womb if need be. Once they're done you'll be put under for minor surgery and in a few hours you'll be back in top shape. I give you my word you'll have the ability to have kids if you do chose to by the time they're done."

She seemed relieved and happy by my words from the smell but she never showed it expression wise except to pull me back to the bedroom for another round. This time we both ended up in the tub afterwards and I held her while she relaxed into me. And slowly washed off.

When we finished, he lay in bed for awhile just spooning together. I hummed a toon while she dozed off with her head on my chest. We arrived in New York a few hours later and I woke her up with a kiss and a message. Once the kinks were fully out of her body, I let her get dressed and we went to my penthouse.

All the office calls were forwarded to her pad and phone while we spent the day together. She mentioned something about clothes and I arranged a private showing at the best boutiques in New York.

We spent the morning shopping on my dime and she rewarded me with several revealing outfits. I sent those same images to the girls and they seemed to get excited before finding my clones that were with them for some sex of their own.

We enjoyed the evening as we went to a cafe for lunch then the movies for entertainment before a light dinner at Masa, a Japanese restaurant I enjoyed. We ended the night with some ravenous sex on the balcony of my penthouse and ending up on the shag carpet by fireplace.

She found that all sex with me was like the first time we did it. Each time I'd finished inside her she'd passed out in pleasure and woke up for another round. She even commented on it. "You know, a girl could get addicted to you. The way you seem to expand and reach every spot while you twitch and cum. It's truly exquisite."

I kissed her lightly before chuckling a little. "Then I shall endeavor to feed your ad-dick-tion!"

She snorted at my pun then moaned as I entered her for another round. The next day I brought her to my labs and did a scan on a medical table. She commented about not having that at the doctors office and I chuckled. "Love, you won't find any of my newest inventions at the doctors office. It takes time for the parents to go through and the safety regulations to be put in place. People need to be trained to use them after all."

She smiled and I told. "Alright, you can get up. I have the scans. I've found the damage you told me about and several other old injuries that would have you aching in a few decades. Your blood work though-"

She bit out. "It's something someone tried to make while replicating the Captain America serum. I was injected with it in the hopes that it would heal me."

I heard the lies and snorted. "Whatever, don't tell me then. Anyway, I can fix the damage and since it's technically non life threatening I should make you do the surgery but since I happen to enjoy your body, I'll forgo that in favor of nano technology. Hop up on the blue table and I'll see about getting you fixed up without a problem and maybe even fix the serum that's in you. It looks scrambled and incomplete. Luckily I happen to have several different samples and know how to fix them."

Her eyes bugged out as she sat down on the table. "You know how to remake the real super serum?"

I grinned and put a finger of my lips. "Don't tell anyone. I don't want to make super soldiers for the government. I'll only repair what's inside you and that's it. I don't have a full sample but I do know the full makeup. I figured it out when I was in grade school when my dad became stumped on it. It's not that hard, I tested it once on a cancer patient and although it worked, he still died of cancer a few months later. It only enhances what's there, it doesn't really make you any more super than the human body can become."

She payed back and a swarm of nanites entered her mouth and nose. "Don't worry, they only heal and repair damage, once they're done they'll come back out and you'll feel better than ever."

True to my words, thirty minutes late they came out of her mouth and went back into the table. They'd repaired and fixed all damage she'd ever received. Even her hymen was back in place, although I had yet to tell her that. All her old scars were gone as well though.

She became a little more fit and taller but not nearly as tall as my six foot eight frame. She was now five eleven with an Amazon vibe to her. Considering she was five-five before we started it was impressive to say the least. "Congratulations, you're completely healed and a full super soldier as it were. Now, would you like to get another scan to take home or are you going to take my word for it?"

She smiled and reached up for a kiss, before saying. "You've been so nice to me, how could I ever repay you."

I chuckled. "Another date some time? I'm not big on debts and seeing as your scars are gone, I'm thinking a pool date with you me, and some margaritas at my mansion."

She smiled before saying. "That sounds lovely. Until then though, it's time we got to work. You have a schedule to keep after all."

I sighed and followed her out and up the elevator to my offices. The news finally broke about Stark being missing and Natasha looked worried. I shook her out of it. "Don't worry, I'm sure Tony's fine. He could make a nuke in a cave if necessary, after all he went toe to toe with me for nearly a decade and didn't lose out."

She nodded before smiling. "Not that he could really do so if you'd have released your newest toys. Nano tech would beat anything he has to offer. Not to mention all the other things I saw down there in your labs."

I shrugged. "Tip of the iceberg really. I'm only holding back to see what he makes next so I can beat it. As for the medical beds, they were released yesterday while we were in meetings. Along with half a dozen cures for everything from Aids to Alzheimer's. Soon enough we'll have cured every virus known to man and be able to heal nearly any injury."

She smiled. "You like to boast don't you?"

I shook my head. "It's not boasting when it's true love, it's bragging and that, I love to do when it's Tony I'm up against. Bastard has the mind of a mad genius and the attitude of a six year old. Every time I talk to him it brings out the child in me. If it weren't for the fact that I know I look better, we'd have resorted to name calling and hair pulling."

She laughed a truly beautiful laugh and I smiled. "See, now you're not so glum. That's what I'm aiming for."

I walked over to her and the red queen closed my office doors discretely while I kissed the black widow deeply. We stayed like that for a long while before we broke apart. I told her in a hushed voice. "I don't care about your past Natasha, all I care about is the now and future. You don't have to tell me anything about why you're really here, I don't care. So long as you are here with me."

She seemed to freeze before relaxing into my arms. After a long while she made one last demand of me. We had sex there and then while my office went on lockdown to give us privacy. A few hours later she left with my real DNA in her. I noticed the letter she'd left when I got off the couch. After reading it I roared silently inside before storing it away.

My real DNA would give her what she wanted and far more. I made sure to suppress the full effects until I released them but she'd begin to change into everything I was until she was just short of a goddess. Once I released it, she'd ascend to a goddess in body while her soul would rapidly grow to catch up. It wasn't enough to make her a full goddess but it was enough to make her like Glory once was all those years ago.

She'd seek me out hopefully when the baby is born. Though I'm sure she'll be surprised the pregnancy will last a year. I had to shorten it and weaken the child to ensure her survival as she wasn't a goddess yet and certainly not on my level. Though she'd be able to kick the shit out of the hulk. And once she's finished her change, neither Shield nor Hydra will be able to take her DNA or replicate it.

For the next few months I threw myself back into my work. Samantha came back to work the next day so I'd had no real reason not to. I didn't see Natasha come in so I knew from then on she'd avoid me. The girls stopped by to ease my pain and keep me company every now and then while I was busy.

They were each happy doing their own things though so I didn't let them stay too long. We'd learned we couldn't always be by each other's side but we could be there when we needed each other. I couldn't smother them, I had to let them grow and be happy with other things in life. And so they did just that. Kali had went into the galaxy to start a bounty hunting business and she was having fun doing just that.

The other girls had become masters with disciples of their own, one of which was the ancient one in secret. They'd even had some followers making pacts with them for power. Though the pacts were very basic so they only lent out magical power or increased their affinity for something magic the follower wanted to use.

They stayed clear of the group that would one day betray them though. Ayana was busy researching DNA permutations and trying to add different ones all together. En Sabah Nur's DNA helped a lot in that regard but she'd hit a few snags along the way. She refused to use her powers as a goddess to figure it out as she claimed doing so without help is the best part.

I'd left her to it and focused on my work and Tony's sudden re-emergence from captivity. I'd taken his disappearance as a chance to buy up all the stock that dropped, nearly thirty percent, to Staines displeasure. Now that Tony was back I owned thirty-nine percent while Staine owned ten and Tony had Fifty one percent.

I'd also taken the liberty of copying all of Staine's dirty laundry and leaving a stock trail only Jarvis could find back to me. My own company was doing great in his absence as I'd continued to move forward with advances in every field. I'd even created a non slave labored Amazon and Amazon prime to release to the public. Netflix followed and quickly became the top competitor so much so that the movie theatres were trying to sue me.

I let my lawyers handle it but I still found it funny. My movie production company was still booming as they'd released Pirates of the Caribbean curse of the black pearl not to long ago. It'd went to theatres for two weeks before it hit Netflix.

I had the Red Queen managing my company where the board left off and only attended the necessary meetings. Now that Tony was back, he announced the shutdown of all weapons facilities he owned. I had an even bigger laugh at that while Staine tried to play it off as an ordeal.

The next few days were quiet until news about a training exercise destroyed a US aircraft. That same day Tony showed up at my place in a bad mood. He walked in and sat down on the med bed like he owned the place while I was working on energy shield technology.

When he saw what I was working on his bad mood disappeared and came over to watch as I completed it and fully charged it. He asked. "What do you think it'll stop?"

I shrugged. "With enough power? A nuke. The energy required is the only problem. But I see you've figured out a way around that."

I pointed to his newest mini arch reactor. He smirked. "Speaking of which, why'd you leave a trail back to you after buying up all my stock that dropped when I was taken hostage."

I sighed. "Red Queen, lockdown full sweep."

She answered. "You're all going to die down here."

I grinned as that was her way of saying she'd disposed of the bugs in the building. Stark smirked. "Cute, what's with the creepy little girls voice? Is this the same Red Queen that damages Jarvis?"

I chuckled. "One question at a time Tony. Yes it's her no, you can't look at her core programming and because I find it funny how she tends to put people on edge when she speaks like that."

He nodded. "You still haven't answered my first question."

I sighed. "Red Queen pull up files Stained. Send them to Tony's phone so he'll stop his dumb questions."

She sent them to Tony and he looked them over before muttering. "Son of a bitch, he's been dealing under the table, with this I'll nail his ass to the wall."

I shook my head. "There's more. Red Queen, hand of the king of you will."

Another set of files appeared on the screen while I filled in the blanks for Tony. "Staine hires the ten rings to kill you. He'd been selling them your tech for years as far as I can tell. The ten rings are a front for another organization called the hand. Each finger of the hand is represented by a warlord or person of great influence. They've been around for hundreds of years leading the world through nearly every conflict there is."

As I spoke images of each finger was displayed on the screens and everything they'd started or were tied to. I continued. "The ten rings is led by one of their disciples. I don't know which one or even all of them but I do no anything the hand is involved in is very bad. Madam Gao, one of the fingers is connected to Rand enterprises some how and she's deeply imbedded in the company. Sowande, an African warlord, he was killed a few months ago just after your kidnapping. That's how I knew to look into Staine, I happened to be in the same town when he kicked the bucket and heard some things."

The look of utter rage passed over Tony's face as he saw everything they'd done and the list of victims they'd left in their wake. He finally calmed himself after a few breathes before saying. "Send me all the information you have on them. I want everything including the pictures of the mass graves."

I nodded slowly and my queen gave it to him. I sighed. "If you're going to take them on you'll need a better suit then what you've cooked up-"

He shook his head. "I don't want your tech-"

I snorted. "Then at least try one of my suits out before you judge them."

That shocked him. "Since when have you had that technology?"

I shrugged. "Remember that trip I made to your office seven years ago? I was actually thinking of it then. I'd only got around to building them five years ago though."

I opened up a case and handed it to him. "See, light as a feather and nuke proof. Put the band on and it'll take a sample of your DNA. It'll lock out anyone else to prevent theft or tampering. It has camo, cloaking, shields, and enough weapons to take on an army. It also has practically everything yours does. It's even EMP shielded to prevent fallout problems. It isn't space worthy though, you'll have to figure that one out on your own."

He put the band on and once the light turned blue the suit automatically activated and flew from the box onto him. He laughed. "This thing is amazing! Is that infrared targeting?"

I nodded. "That and every other spectrum science can see. It's mostly though based as it's now coded to you you're the only one that can use it. Think of it as a welcome back gift and an apology for not selling back the stock I bought from your company."

He grumbled before saying. "Fine, but you'd better at least give me the option to buy it back if you don't want it!"

I chuckled. "There's not a chance of that happening. Although I'd advise you to figure out a way to fix the palladium poisoning sooner rather than later."

He nodded before the suit turned into nanites and became a regular business suit. "Damn that's great!"

I nodded. "Be sure to hide the bracelet as well. It's a bit eye catching don't ya think?"

A second later it cloaked and disappeared from sight. "I can't wait to figure out how you made it all!"

I chuckled. "Just don't go spreading where you got it from or how to make more of them. The suit itself is made from Vibranium, Adamantium and Carbonadium. I had to search the globe and invent one of those just to get it to work. There's another metal in it but I won't be revealing it to you. Suffice it to say the suits worth more than both our companies combined."

His eyebrows shot up. "Damn, and here I came to complain to you."

I shrugged. "Anyway, it's good to see I have my old friendly rival back. Be careful of Staine, if he's dealing with the ten rings then he's capable of anything."

He left after thanking me and swearing to keep it a secret. I shook my head and got back to work. My real project was something far greater and my biggest secret for now. I'd been making a special spell that would add something to the very core of my soul. If it works then I'll be ready for the core worlds soon enough.

A few days later I heard about Staine and Tony's battle from the Red Queen. She'd brought the camera feeds up while one of my clones was finally returning with several hundred planets worth of Uru.

After I watched the live feed and it was disconnected because of the EMP pulse, I continued with my work. The whole building was shielded against nearly everything including radiation so my work wasn't really effected by the pulse.

When Tony announced to the world that he was Iron Man, I laughed my ass off. He knew I'd pick up the stock and I did just that. We were now the two sole owners of his company. He had nothing to fear from stock prices even with the markets fluctuations.

I didn't need the money and he knew he was safe from my tampering in his company. Seven months later he started behaving erratically and finally stopped by after his trial. I laughed my ass of and in fact I was still laughing when he showed up.

He sat on my med table while I worked and ignored him. He began spouting drama until he finally felt relieved enough to ask for my help. I sighed. "What you need is a new element to replace the Palladium that's rotting your insides. I cans clean you out but it will just get bad again in a few weeks. Find the element you need by then and fix yourself."

I waved for him to lay on the blue table. When he did so the nanites entered him and cleaned out all the palladium poisoning in his system. When they left him he shook himself. "Bah, what the heck was that?"

I chuckled. "Never you mind. Now I've bought you three weeks at most before it's back in force. Your body's already used to fighting it off so once it returns that's it, I won't be able to fix you unless you're off the palladium for good."

He looked at the table then sighed. "Any chance you can take the shrapnel out with your little devices?"

I shook my head. "They'd kill you before they succeeded. That's why it isn't on the market yet, I've got to fine tune them. That'll take longer even with the both of us then you have. So no, now go fix yourself before you keel over on my front door step."

He snorted before sighing. "Thanks anyway for the help. It means a lot to me. If you decide to come to Monaco I'll save you a seat."

I chuckled. "What are friends for. Hell, I've spent more time with you than I have my own parents. Just don't mention it, now seriously go find your element and when you do, come back. I'll clean out the built up poison one last time."

He took off and I sighed. I'd seen Natasha on his cameras when I'd hacked in earlier that day. She was working with Pepper on something. I decided I'd stay away as she'd come and see me if she wanted to. I felt my child being born into the world three weeks ago and from then on I'd had a constant eye out for them both.

My son, whom she'd named Xander after my full name was safely tucked away and guarded by Fury himself and May when he wasn't around. I chuckled when I'd seen him lightly smack an agent that tried to take him and broke his arm. Little Xander has all my personality in a bundle of badass.

I couldn't wait to see him after he learned to shift. As it was every test Fury and shield tried on him came out as wolf or human DNA. The rest was a jumbled mess that not even their best geneticists could figure out. I turned my attention to his mother who was now playing the secretary to miss Potts.

Sighing to myself I went back to work and ignored them until a week later I'd seen her flirt with Tony at his house while putting makeup on his wounds to hide them. I growled deeply before turning my attention to another problem. I teleported to New Mexico and watched the shield agents arrive to take over the hammer site.

Ignoring them I found Thor in town and teleported to his hospital room. I took some of his blood while concealing myself. Once I had enough I teleported back to New York and gave it to Ayana. New York itself was cloaked as it was the main base for all my current work.

I received an invitation to Tony's birthday party and decided to go on a whim. I could enjoy at least one night after all the work I've been doing. I arrived just before he showed himself to the guests and smelled her in the air. My wolf went on alert and soon enough she came out of the crowd straight for me.

Her eyes had shifted and she was emitting pheromones as if she was pissed and in heat at the same time. I growled deeply and we took it upstairs. I told Jarvis to lock the room and she attacked me. At first I thought she was trying to kill me but then I realized she was just trying to remove my clothes as fast as possible. I bit out. "Red Queen rules!"

The room went into lockdown and not even Jarvis could peep inside. After a few sweaty rough rounds of sex that broke the guest room bed and the table, we'd ended up on the couch. We hadn't even felt Tony and Rhodey fighting over our own fierce struggle.

While she was curled up on my chest and barely awake she spoke. "He's beautiful you know. Our son I mean. I named him after you. He has your strength and sometimes I can even see your wolf eyes in his. While I was pregnant with him I began to change as well. The day I gave birth to him, I ended up shifting on the table."

I smiled. "So, what does your wolf look like?"

She sighed. "Red, like my hair, but with black streaks through it. I-I never-"

I shushed her gently. "I know, it doesn't matter to me. I've kept an eye on you since you left. More of a bug really, in case you needed me. It only sends out a signal if you're in serious danger or dead. It's the only thing I could think of to keep you safe."

She looked up at me and I sighed. "I really don't care about your past love, I only ever wanted you to be safe and happy. Now that I know you've changed like me, I know you're safe from anything this world can throw at you."

I went to get up and she looked gut punched. I sighed again. "Unless you've changed your mind and decided to be with me-"

She shook her head and I continued to get dressed. When I was fully clothed I told her. "If you change your mind I'll always be there waiting for you and our son. Until we meet again Natasha."

I left and didn't look back. Sometimes it sucked being a god that didn't want to make peoples decisions for them. Most gods or other powerful beings would've probably demanded she stay or I stay with her but I'm not like them. The choices mortals make have to be there own for them to mean anything.

I was home after hoping over the wreckage that was now the living room floor but stopped when I saw him. Tony was passed out on the floor as he'd over used the suit with the palladium seeping into him. I helped him downstairs and changed out the core for him while he was passed out. His suit he was in was his older model as he hadn't figured out how I'd made the one I gave him yet.

It was laying on the table like discarded scraps. Sighing to myself I left him there to sleep after taking his armor off. I'd seen the tell tale signs of palladium poisoning on his skin. He'd definitely been over using the armor since we'd last met.

Instead of heading back to my labs I went to my penthouse and got some sleep. For the next two days I paid attention to Harlem. When Bruce showed up and fought Bronski in the streets I shifted and joined the fight. I helped Bruce tare apart the the yellow giant in the streets.

When he was done smashing the corpse he turned to me and roared thinking I'd be submissive. I roared back and he charged. I tore into him as well for a bit until he finally got the hint that he couldn't hurt me while I could hurt him.

He backed away in a huff. "Puny dog!"

I growled and he snorted before hopping away like a giant green bunny. When he left I stored all of his blood and Blonski's body in my ring. I blurred and disappeared as helicopters were beginning to land. I ran back to my place in a blur and shifted when I was in a secure place.

I gave Blonski's and the hulk's blood to Ayana and she started a new project. I wasn't able to get the dumb doctor but then I didn't really need him anyway. Each of the scientists that worked at Heretic Worlds enterprises was enhanced with the Alteran gene and were under magically binding contracts never to reveal their abilities outside of the company.

I got a call by the time I was in the shower from Natasha. "Why are you on the news? I thought you preferred to lay low."

I sighed. "Only you recognized me besides, I had to blow off steam and the big yellow monster trashing the city and killing people seemed like an appropriate outlet. Relax, no one besides you even knows about me."

She didn't have a comeback for that so she just told me to lay low and stay away from the limelight. After she hung up I finished my shower and went back to bed. My mood lately had been shifting to fast so I'd taken to sleeping and meditating again to keep myself calm.

I went to the expo to watch the events play out and when everything started going to shit I smelled her once again. I stamped down on my reactions and continued watching the show. Tony took off and most of the robots followed him. I made sure no one was shot or hurt in the explosions barring a little excitement as they ran.

I was left standing there while the rest of the crowd fled. I spoke clearly. "Red Queen shut all robots down in the area. Be sure to neutralize the explosives as well. Once you've done that, help Natasha with her problems. But be discreet about it."

She confirmed. "You're all going to die down here!"

I don't know why but each time she says that it brings a smile to my face. The robots still at the expo shut down as sparks were discharged from each of them. With the immediate area safe again people started to calm down.

I left while whistling a tune I'd heard at Tony's party. I mumbled. "Another one bites the dust."As I got in my car and drove home.

The next day news of Justin Hammer being arrested broke and I bought his company for penny's on the dollar. When news got around about what I'd done, the government leapt at the chance to see what I could do with weapons.

They were majorly disappointed when I turned all the facilities into armor and military vehicle factories. Justin already had a decent enough set up he was just to lazy and dumb to properly use them. The government still gave me the contracts for those products but they were very displeased to see I wouldn't become the next warmonger.

While most of the facilities was used for military contracts I set aside some factories for building shields. Basically energy shields for buildings and properties. The generators were about the size of a small car while the energy required to power then was based on Tony's arch reactors.

I sent him the contract and made assurances that once they were in use, they wouldn't be able to be studied or copied by the government. I gave him the specs for the generators as well just to ease his mind. So long as there's power in them a mini shield would form around the generators themselves.

He signed the contract the day after the expo fiasco. He even offered his company but I turned him down. The man really didn't want to run it and I sure as hell didn't want that kind of spotlight. He patented the miniature arch reactor and swore to sue the shit out of the government if they used his tech without his express permission a week later.

I turned my attention to the Pym particles and it only took me a week to crack the formula. It helped that I could literally see them. I patented my findings and began utilizing the technology I built off of it to start of Heretic shipping. A simple tag would shrink a shipping container to the size of a tanka toy.

I was able to ship more in one day with that tech than anyone else could in a year. My company instantly cornered the market on shipping and contracts flew in. I bought two hundred shipping tankers and took all contracts that the Red Queen had deemed clean. All others were either criminal backed or were affiliated with known human traffickers.

I had all shipping containers scanned before they're shrunk just to be on the safe side. In a month I'd taken over most of the worlds shipping contracts. I bought docks at each port and had them upgraded to be automated before doing the same to my ships.

Soon enough I'd cut out most human error. I made sure to give those I'd cost their jobs new ones harvesting food and laying plumbing in countries that needed the help. They basically became my handy man workers for wherever Red Queen sent them around the globe.

Stark was offered the contracts for the power supplies of my ships. I converted them all to electric powered over the next few months. I did repairs and upgrades as well on each one. He signed off on it as soon as he saw the amount I was willing to pay per ship.

Since they'd last a year it was a yearly contract that brought his company back in the green and propelled him into the clean energy race. My company made sure to rent the generators to New York in case of disasters or terrorist attacks. They bought it easily enough and I knew the first test was only a few months away.

Ayana began releasing cloning technology and limb regeneration technology from Heretic Medical labs. I was lauded a humanitarian again which I ignored to her amusement. She began cloning fish and endangered species all around the world.

Ivy and Harley woke up from their naps finally and the girls all gathered to greet them. After taking a clone apiece they separated to go explore this new universe. Ivy went to continue growing forests on this planet while Harley joined Kali in space hunting down bounties.

We'd only spent the first week together in bed before they'd left. I'd been making huge waves lately so I stepped back into the shadows as Tony announced his new jets both commercial and private. He'd added his propulsion technology to mine and designed a lot of new things.

His jets created an uproar as they could stop and hover using my anti-gravity tech while turning and going a different direction on a dime thanks to his repulsor tech head added. They no longer needed to take off on a runway anymore. Shield tried to be the first to quiet him and failed before they tried to get ahead by ordering theirs first.

It was all powered by miniature arch reactors so there was no fuel supply except for him. He let them make an order as he was confident he'd secured the arch reactors in black boxes. They were tamper proof for anyone not on our level.

With that he began selling black box reactors to the government and cities for an alternative power supply. I skulked back into the shadows for several months until Natasha showed up on my doorstep with Xander in her arms. I let her in and she let me hold him. "He said his first word when he was six months old. It was Dada. He hasn't started walking yet."

I tickled his tummy and murmured. "My son, you'll be far better than I could possibly be."

He giggled and laughed while I carried him to the living room. "So, what's the reason you'd come all the way to my little island to find me then?"

She looked awkward like I'd caught her with her hand in the cookie jar. I chuckled. "Come now, it's obvious you work for shield. Tony can't keep a secret to save his life. At least, not from me anyway. He told me while I cleaned the last of the palladium out of his chest about a gorgeous and dangerous shield agent that helped him save the expo."

She sighed. "You caught me, so I'm a shield agent."

I shrugged. "I never cared that you were. I merely put two and two together when you started hanging around Tony. Not many secretaries take that job unless they want to sleep with him."

She raised an eyebrow and I snorted. "If you wanted to sleep with him he'd have bragged and I'd-"

I drifted off and shook my head. "So what does shield want from me. I'm not in the weapons industry and you already know I won't make them."

She sighed and pulled out a file from her bag she set it down while holding out her hands to take the baby. "Read it for yourself. My boss wants you to join an elite team of heroes."

I passed her Xander before flipping through the file. Once I finished I asked. "What's shield lost that caused all of this?"

She quirked an eyebrow and I sighed. "If it was something outside shields peramiteters I'd have already heard of this. Therefore it's being kept secret. The only way it would be this concealed is if it was always in shields hands to begin with. If it were strictly an outside threat, again I'd have heard of it. That means whoever it is targeted shield for something. More than likely that something is a weapon or something that can be used for weapons. Since it's shield that means it's either supernatural or alien in origin. Simple deduction."

She smirked. "Alien?"

I snorted. "I'm well aware of New Mexico. Like I said, outside threats I'm well aware of. I own all the premium satellites around the globe. Hell, I own most of the moon."

She sighed. "It's a glowing box that some nazi was trying to use to take over the world."

I chuckled. "So that's what the red skull was up to. So what, shield tried to make the same weapons red skull made and the glowing box was taken away from them. Now your boss wants to gather special people to get it back? Sounds like he can't keep it even if we retrieve it. If it was taken once, it can be taken again."

I sighed and asked. "Who are you sending to get Tony and the green guy?"

She smiled. "Coulson is on Stark and we're picking up the big green guy."

I nodded. "I doubt he'll recognize me, luckily I'm just as strong in this form as I am as a wolf. He shouldn't be a problem for either of us if we knock him out before hand. I'll have my butler take care of little Xander here. He'll be absolutely safe and comfortable on the island."

I whistled and several bots I'd made came in. They looked and acted completely human. "Alfred, take care of little Xander till we get back. He's the young master of this island and you all will die before a hair is harmed on his head."

The lead bot bowed. "Of course sir."

Natasha looked at us funny but I continued. "Once we leave put the island on lockdown. Level one priority."

He bowed again before taking Xander. "As you wish sir. Shall I add Miss Natasha and Xander to the protocol list."

I looked at her before nodding. "Partial access for both. She works for shield and I'd rather not put her in the position to be forced to choose between me and her work."

He nodded and left with Xander. Natasha asked. "Where's he taking him?"

I sighed. "I had a room made for Xander the day you left in the office. It was only a hope that he'd get to see it one day. I just wish it were in different circumstances."

I left her after I said that and went to grab the swords I'd made off the fireplace mantel. I strapped the Claymore to my back before offering her the two short swords. "I made them with you in mind. They can change to whatever weapon you can imagine with whatever effects you want so long as the effects don't harm you."

She smiled before asking. "How?"

I sighed deeply saying. "There's a great many things you don't know about me Natasha. It's the same reason I don't judge your past or the lies you've told me. I have no room to do so. Now once you've grabbed the handles firmly you'll feel a rush of energy that'll dissipate. It's just them recognizing you as their master. If anyone tries to use them that isn't you or related to you by blood, they die. Something like a massive electrocution with a touch of death by a thousand cuts. Painful way to go at that."

She frowned and looked more caution now. After she gripped them and she felt the rush, they turned into two pistols. She replaced the ones she had hidden and we left. On the way out I tapped my wrist band and it activated my nano suit. I stepped outside looking like Deathstroke and my sword only served to make me even more intimidating.

My mask and armor were purple and green to match my soul. When Natasha noticed the change she commented. "Where can I get armor like that?"

I held out a box. "Put it on now or I take it back."

She took out the band and put on her armor. She received her more advanced armor with a smile as it locked to her only. The red queen was talking her through the instructions and soon enough she was swaying around in her customary Black Widow suit. Only this one was indestructible and had energy shields and flight capabilities.

When she noticed my gaze she gave an extra sway that had me growling. A quin jet was parked on my lawn in camouflage but our suits pointed them out for us. Even without a helmet one he Red Queen was still tapped into her coms.

We entered the jet and once we left the island an energy shield came up around it. She set the jet on auto pilot while telling me about the teams of agents that were sent to cover us. I scoffed at that and she smiled. "I know we won't need them now but I wasn't sure you'd want to come, that's why I brought Xander. That way you'd at least get to spend time with him if you weren't with me."

I nodded slowly and she told me about her job. It was mostly spy work and intel gathering. When she did find a target most of the time she was ordered to bring them in. She told me about the rarer cases where she was ordered to eliminate the targets.

I listened with no judgement and accepted everything she was telling me. I'd never known her full backstory as I'd only caught a glimpsed it from the movies. I wasn't even sure it was the same Black Widow, looks aside she was different in many unique ways. She seemed freer in real life and in less pain.

I gave the Red Queen her fists mission. She was to wipe all traces of Natasha Romanov's criminal past and destroy all evidence to the contrary. By the time we reached Calcutta I was all caught up on the mission and it's full details. I stood back with the backup while Natasha handled Banner.

When he slammed his hands on the table she didn't even flinch. I told her when she was making the plan that she was stronger than his alter ego and so long as she put her rage into it, she'd becomes stronger still. It was true as I'd added that ability and tied it to the wolf when Ayana figures it out. Technically Banner was a god, albeit a reality bound one.

It was easy enough to tap into the realm his power comes from once I knew the exact one. Once I did so I passed it to everyone except my son. I didn't need an angry baby killing the sitter on accident. Once he grows up some I'd be happy to give him the same powers.

When she came out with Banner he sighed. "All alone huh?"

I stayed quiet and followed her lead. We left in the quinjet and headed to the carrier. Banner tried a few times to make polite conversation with me but I stayed quiet. I had nothing to say to him and I'll be damned if I stand aside for the Widow/Hulk love fest.

I followed Natasha off the jet when she landed it and she introduced us to Captain America and Hawkeye. I still stayed quiet and she merely introduced me as White Wolf. I followed her to meet Fury and listen to them all talk. I ignored the looks Banner was giving her as she only looked at me when not talking to someone else or looking over something.

When Fury gave us the target, we left on the same jet we came in on. We flew to Germany and I watched as Captain America fought Loki. When Loki tried to fight back I moved and beat him into the ground in an instant. I had my sword at his throat as I told him. "Attack again and I'll skin you alive and we can see how much of a god you are afterwards."

He stilled. "I don't know you, you must be new."

He released his mirage before holding out his hands. Steve cuffed him just as Tony arrived on the scene. I tossed him the scepter and walked back aboard the jet. They followed me on and sat Loki down. I stood behind Natasha as she took us back up.

We flew for a while before lighting started striking all over. Natasha was trying to give our ETA but static was all she could get back. Tony made a quip to Loki about being afraid of lightning and he replied that he wasn't much fond of what came after it.

That's when a thud hit the top of the jet. I became annoyed and I already knew Ivy would be pissed if I just let them destroy a forest so when Tony lowered the hatch and was knocked back for his efforts, I moved and knocked Thor out with a smack to the back of the head.

He fell down at Loki's feet. "Well, that's one way to quiet the thunder."

I growled and raised my hand to him, knocking him out as well. I turned to see Steve and Tony holding up their hands in submission. I sighed and closed the back hatch before taking my place behind Natasha.

Half an hour later we arrived back at the carrier with the two sleeping gods. I picked up Thor and his hammer, carrying them inside while Steve grabbed Loki. I tossed Thor on the board room floor and set his hammer next to his head.

They woke up just after Steve tossed Loki in the cell and closed the door. Thor woke up yelling about his hammer. Once he had it in his hands and stood up, Fury told him to settle down or I'd settle him down.

He smirked and went to call lightning with his hammer, so I took it from him and punched him in the solar plexus. He coughed and hit the ground as his knees buckled. I set the hammer on the table next to him.

When he regained his voice he uttered. "That's not possible! You shouldn't be able to do that. "

I snorted. "Who so ever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor. Funny thing that, there are plenty of regular every day people that are worthy. All you have to have is a clear conscience and not be evil."

I'd used my voice scrambler because of Tony being in the room. Well, that and I didn't know who all knew about me and I wasn't going to risk it. "Sit down and listen, once you've heard both sides then act. That is the duties of a king, to be impartial. You're no more ready to be a leader than Tony is."

Tony bit out. "Hey buddy, I'll have you know I have many good qualities."

I ignored him and watched as Thor took my advice. Then Fury and the rest filled him in on the problems. He agreed to help so long as Loki and the tesseract were turned over to be taken back to Asgard. I decided not to risk Natasha so when the future dimension hoppers show up, I'll send them to another dimension they can pillage.

I stayed quiet while they all tried to figure everything out. I adjourned to the labs while Natasha went to get the information we need out of Loki. I warned her. "Our eyes see more than just that of a wolf, use them and no tricks can fool you."

She nodded and smiled a little before going and I went to see how the trio were doing. They were actually making progress if breaking and entering was progress. I stayed quiet and watched it all play out. When Steve came back with the Nazi weapon the arguing got louder and worse.

When they started acting like idiots I roared with my real voice and shook the carrier. They all shut up and I sighed. "Enough. There's a spell on the scepter that's confusing your minds and causing strife. It needs to be locked away."

Banner went to grab it and I shoved him back. "Touching with bare hands is a no go so unless your better half is ready to have it shoved up his ass, back down."

I turned to the rest. "That goes for everyone here. It's practically radioactive."

Natasha frowned and looked at me curiously. I sighed. "Use your other eyes."

She did so and backed up immediately when she looked at it. "He's right it's giving of some kind of energy that's effecting each of us. We need to get away from it and calm down."

Just as she said that an explosion rocked the carrier and we were all sent in different directions. I landed next to Fury while Natasha and Banner were at the bottom of the lab. Tony, Steve and Thor were not far from the doorway.

I stood up and grumbled. "Natasha, deal with the Hulk, knock him off the ship if you have to. Steve, Tony deal with the engine. Thor make sure your brother is secure."

Before I could continue Fury spoke. "Good you're coming with me then to the bridge."

I nodded and followed him out as Natasha stood up to face the Hulk. I told Red Queen to inform Natasha her weapon specs and what they'd do to Banner while I followed Fury.

When we got to the bridge he took over command. He told Coulson to go back up Thor with the Destroyer weapon. After he left a team hit the command room and I slaughtered them in the doorway. Their screams of agony and pleas fell of deaf ears as I tore them apart and a couple in half while they were still alive.

It was a distraction though and Fury caught and arrow in the shoulder while another turned off the engines. I blurred and knocked out Hawkeye. I dragged him with me as I went back to the bridge. Natasha showed up just in time to see me pull the arrow out of Fury and spray him with healing nanites.

He grunted then cursed. "Motherfucker!"

I waited and once he was done cursing I put the canister over his jacket hole. They went back into the canister and it shrunk into nothing. "Sorry, but it only works once. Lucky you I had the prototype on me."

He cursed again and I told him. "Goose says hello by the way."

He let out another tired and we went to back up Coulson. Unfortunately he still got the short end of the stick or stab wound if you prefer. We found him on his last breathe. Fury sent me after Loki but by the time I got to the landing pad he was long gone. I came back and told him the results.

He cursed some more and started his big speech. Thor has been tricked into the capsule and launched from the ship while the Hulk was drop kicked off the ship by Natasha. We did get Hawkeye back and Natasha was looking at me with grateful eyes.

I shifted my attention from her to Fury as he was talking about the program and basically egging them all on to come together. After he left Steve and Tony seemed to come together as Tony figured out where Loki was going next. When he told us, I told the Red Queen. "Activate alpha protocol in New York. Sound the alarms and send the signal to every radio station on Manhattan. Cops and all are to get in doors as the shields will active."

She confirmed my words and got to work. She had Swat in route to stop all traffic onto the island. By the time we arrived the streets were cleared of all life. Even the shay back alley's were cleared. Every building except Stark tower had their shields active.

I walked to the hatch and followed Tony out. Natasha followed me as well. Clint and Steve used the jet as long as they could before it was brought down. I was busy firing lasers and a shoulder mounted shrapnel cannon at the Chitauri.

When I'd shot the main load taking out nearly a hundred riders I switched to my cannon only. It took out the first Leviathan as it was coming through, but then it was out as well. I tossed it in my ring and grabbed my sword. It turned into a sniper rifle and I fired pressurized heavy metals at the heads of the aliens as they came though.

I stepped out of my armor and it continued to fire while I shifted and started killing all those that landed and were trying to get in the buildings at the civilians that were watching. It was a mass slaughter as I tore them apart until we regrouped. They'd swarmed from the sky's with nowhere but the roads to land. The shields fried the few that were dumb enough to try.

When Hulk and Thor finally showed up we regrouped at Steve's location. He started giving orders. "Hawkeye, get up up on Stark tower and drop as many as you can. Iron Man, make a perimeter back to third street, if they make it that far turn them back or turn them to ash. Hulk, White wolf and Black Widow, you're with me in all four directions. Don't let them get beyond three blocks out. Thor, you need to bottle neck that portal. Use you'r lightning. Guys, go all out. We can't afford to lose this."

I took south as it was the farthest distance to travel and stop them at the same time. Natasha took east and Hulk took west leaving Captain America where he was. I tore through everything that walked or crawled and and a Leviathan that had been unfortunate to come my way.

In five minutes the south was clear. My suit was still with Steve helping him hold the north. I shifted back to my human form and made sure Red Queen was playing the council members decision to nuke us to the whole world. When she confirmed she was, I went to help out Hulk as Natasha had already cleared her area fo now.

Hulk was having the time of his life until he was over run. I shifted and helped him tear them down. I showed him how to bounce off the shields to gain altitude. Although it was painful, those that have high speed regeneration can do it without to much trouble.

He began playing Hulk sized pinball. I helped him wrestle them down before checking my area and going back for a quick clean up. I stored most of the alien bodies and tech in my ring. I heard Tony and the rest as he guided the nuke through the portal and Natasha waited till the last second to close it.

When the Nuclear explosion was about to come through she was forced to close it and hope for the best. Tony barely made it and even then he was falling as he'd run out of power. Hulk bounced and caught him before landing in the street.

My suit slid on me as I shifted and joined them. The leftover Chitauri died when the nuke went off so we'd officially won. I slid my sword onto my back again as it shifted from its gun form.

Hulk roared and the last remaining energy from the shields around the builds dissipated. They'd simply had to much abuse from the aliens and hulks bouncing to my own and the Leviathans hit and sometimes collapsing against them.

Tony came awake and started congratulating everyone including himself. He asked if we wanted shawarma and that's when I turned to Natasha. "I'm leaving. Tell Fury it was me that had his conversation with the council aired for the world to here. With people like that in power, I want nothing to do with Shield."

Tony got up. "Wait! Just one last thing we gotta take care of."

I turned to Stark towers and sighed. "Loki."

The Hulk grinned and we did the signature badass ending. I made sure to touch the Tesseract long enough to switch the stone inside for one that would power it enough to make it seem like it was still working. While I was heading out I noticed there was no time hijinks here.

Then it hit me. Since I'm here they must not be able to enter. The one above all is paying direct attention to this universe. I shrugged it off and cloaked before teleporting home to my island. I grabbed a shower and washed the blood off myself and put away my sword before going to see my son.

I found him in his crib asleep. I sat down right there and watched him. I must've stayed there for hours because the next thing I know Natasha was next to me. "We did good didn't we?"

She smiled. "Yeah, we did. In all my life he's the most precious thing I've ever seen. I still can't believe something so innocent and cute came from us."

I put a hand on her shoulder. "There's something I should tell you. I knew who you were the day I met you. I'd actually spent some time protecting those you'd been on a mission to kill. I disarmed the bomb from your last free lance mission and set the seen to make you think you'd succeeded."

She shivered and asked. "How?"

I shrugged. "You've never really seen the limits of your own body and I can already tell I'm faster than you. I moved faster than you could see and replaced the kids with clones of random kids I'd been making to test the technology. After that I reset the bomb and watched it blow. I knew you'd eventually feel the weight of it so I helped those kids and their family's disappear. I couldn't let those that hired you come after them and likewise I couldn't just let you walk away from that thinking it was ok. Before that day I'd never truly laid eyes on you."

She shuddered as mixed feelings came over her. I had Red Queen show her the proof that I wasn't lying. I stood up as Xander woke up crying. I went over and picked him up while ignoring Natasha's tears of joy, relief and sadness.

I changed my son and ended up needing another shower when he pissed on me. When Natasha saw that she actually broke out into laughter that sounded better than angels singing. I should know as I've actually heard Castiel sing.

She got up and calmed Xander down while I went to clean myself now. When I came back I saw her singing a Russian lullaby while feeding him baby food. I stood there in the doorway and shared the scene with all the girls. They each became impatient to do the same for their own kids.

Sighing to myself, I finally stopped sharing and asked. "So how was shawarma?"

She snorted cutely. "If you'd stayed around long enough you'd have been able to try it."

I shrugged. "I don't know who all you've told about me, and I don't give away my secrets easily."

She gave another snort before sighing. "It was interesting. Thor asked about how you knew what his father said. I had to point out that it was written on the hammer in Norse. Red Queen translated it for me. Speaking of which, what's up with the Red Queen?"

I shrugged. "I created her stop Tony and Jarvis from hacking my systems. Well anyone really but they were the immediate problem at the time. As for why it's a little girl and the way she talks, I got it from-"

She cut me off. "Resident Evil, that much is obvious."

I raised an eyebrow and she sighed. "Give me a break, Alice is such a badass."

I chuckled. "There's some irony there somewhere. I actually own the company that made the movie. The original Alice wasn't nearly as awesome. I had them use what I'd learned about you to change her personality.

The Red Queen wasn't nearly as complete either. Her more robust personality is based on what I imagined you'd be as a child."

She frowned and I elaborated. "My AI, not the movie Red Queen. She has more spunk and attitude than the movie. She actually laughed when a lab explosion left me face first in the sewer."

Natasha actually cracked a smile on that. "So she is based on me then."

I sighed and nodded while she brought over Xander. She handed the now full baby to me. "Burp him and lay him done for a nap."

She smacked my ass on the way out saying. "If you hurry I may still be awake by the time you get done."

I looked down to Xander and I knew he was going to be trouble. An hour later I came into my bedroom and she was fast asleep. Xander had spit up on me a few times and refused to settle down until I finally gave in and told him a story from my past about the brave king and his princess.

When I finished he was asleep. I'd whispered. "One day my son I'll let you meet them. They are after all family."
