Brotherly Love and Therapy.

Ace POV

Ace appeared out of a portal by the doors to the Capsule Corp CEO's residence followed shortly by Saraswati and her uncle. It felt odd to call him uncle. He was barely 5 years older than her. But for papa, she would do it. Having family felt nice too. If her original parents were half as decent.....

No point digging up old graves.

"Shame, Goku wasn't home." Saraswati sighed, "I wonder where he is?"

"We can ask the Z Fighters here. And if they don't know, at least you can test yourself against Vegeta in the meantime." Her uncle said.

"But Vegeta is so weak~"

"Think again. You might be surprised at how strong he is." Her uncle insisted, hiding his intentions as if she couldn't read minds.

She smiled.

He was Papa's brother after all. They both think in the same scheming tone.

He didn't show it on the outside but his plans were clear as day to her. He wanted to steal the dragon ball radar from Bulma and find the dragon balls and make a wish to turn himself into a saiyan.

Papa wouldn't approve of it, the wishing part that is.

Well, it wasn't her business. She just needed to keep them out of trouble.

She shook her head as she watched Saraswati rush in, blowing the doors off their hinges.

"VE-GE-TA!" Saraswati shouted, standing proud in the hall as they walked in behind her, hands on her hips, "Come and fight me!"

The Z Fighters in the room who were watching tv instantly jumped out, ready for battle till they saw Saraswati.

"Who's that?" Bulma asked.

"It's just a kid. I was wortied there for a minute." Krillin relaxed.

"Are you lost kid?"

Are they stupid?

Ace genuinely couldn't believe their laid back attitudes.

"I'm here to fight Vegeta! Face me! Let's have a match!"

One of them laughed a little. Then the others did too.

Till the scarred one, Yamcha pointed out the obvious.

"She just broke down that reinforced rolled steel door. Are you guys blind?"

"Oh, shit you're right!" Krillin realized.

"Anyone can break down a puny door. Even Goku's brat can do something so trivial." Vegeta huffed.

"No, nonono! Normal kids can't do that! She's weird. What if she's one of those androids."

"I am an android. Or this body is, at least." Saraswati nodded.

That put them back on guard when Bulma interrupted.

Take your fight outside! You've destroyed enough of the house already."

Oh right, the door! Ace remembered.

"I am so sorry." Ace bowed in embarrassment, repairing the doors with her powers.

"Saraswati, take the fight outside."

"Sure! Come Vegeta! Let's fight outside-"

Vegeta raised an eyebrow.

"I'm not fighting a kid."

Saraswati smirked.

"Why? Afraid you'll lose?"

He scoffed.

"I would never lose to a child-"

"Bak, bak bakawk!" Saraswati made chicken noises as Bulma burst into laughter.

"You dare insult me?" Vegeta growled.

"Did I refer to you by any chance? Unless you know yourself that you are a chicken. Because I smell tenders~" Saraswati used her A.I. brain to roast him.

"Ooh." Yamcha and Krillin exclaimed.

"I will put you in your place, brat!" Vegeta shouted as he flew out with Saraswati. Through the door.

"I just repaired it!" Ace pouted.

"Welcome to my world." Bulma patted her shoulder with sympathy as Ace put it together again.

"Let's go and check it out. He might need help." Krillin said, despite knowing full well he was going to be as useless as a screen door on a submarine.

Points for friendship goals though.

Ace smiled.

"Yeah. I don't want to miss seeing Vegeta get his ass handed to him." Yamcha laughed and they all rushed out, this time thankfully via properly using the door.

"You're taking an invasion of your home rather well." Ace noted, as she looked up to Bulma.

"I'm used to it. My kid is half alien, half of my friends are aliens, I live with martial artists that can blow up planets, and scientists that are hell bent on world domination. Nothing is going to faze me at this point." Bulma replied with a tired look as she cradled her son.

Ace giggled.

"That girl-"

"Saraswati."

"Yes. She won't kill him will she?" Bulma asked after a moment of quiet hesitation.

"No. She promised papa she would hold back. She just wants to have some fun."

Bulma sighed in relief.

"But just in case I better go and supervise. Come." She offered Bulma a hand and she grabbed it.

"Uncle?"

"Yeah, uh...you guys go ahead. I'll catch up. I just need to take a leak. You don't mind if I use your bathroom do you?"

"It's down the hall." Bulma rolled her eyes.

"Thanks!" He smiled and ran off.

Ace sighed.

Just this once she'd help him out.

With that she teleported herself and Bulma away.

No sooner had they gone, did a figure come out and begin going through the drawers and shelves all around the house looking for two things. The dragon ball radar and the flying car keys. Soon, he had both with him and he made a quick escape out of the house, leaving everything as he had found it. Even the tv, which was left on. It flickered as a green insectoid flashed on it, floating upwards through the screen with a creepy smile on it's face. Unfortunately, no one was there to witness it.

Jay POV

As we finished shopping, we all sat down in a small cafe for refreshments.

"Say aah~" Paige held a forkful of cake before me.

I looked at Wanda and she gave me a nod.

I smiled and took her on her offer.

Paige made a cute noise as I ate it and cut me another piece.

This time I stopped her.

"Maybe pay some more attention to our kids." I pointed out the two sets of twins who were being fed by Galatea along with their siblings. Thankfully she was using a Stranger shard so people didn't notice her oddities or the size of our group and just ignored the bizarre spectacle of a woman with galaxies in her skin feeding five kids with tentacles.

"What did you even name them?" I asked.

"For that matter, I didn't ask yet, did you name them at all?"

"No. Lisa insisted we wait until we meet you again so you have the opportunity to name them yourself." Paige said.

I raised an eyebrow.

"Let me guess, if I name them I'll grow attached to them and I won't be able to reject you."

Lisa just gave me a cheeky grin.

"Thought so. But thanks. I did want to name them myself." I smiled warmly as I scratched the heads.

Such cute little babies. My babies. And two sets of blond twins too, one male and one female pair.

"Does that mean you'll forgive us?" Paige asked with those big green puppy eyes of her and I gave in.

I kissed Lisa and Paige.

"You've made me the happiest guy in the multiverse." I held their hands, "Don't worry. I will take responsibility. I won't reject you."

I couldn't help but chuckle as Lisa did a small fist pump in victory.

"But you will have to be good mothers to them. You too, Jackie." I poked String Theory.

"Yeah, yeah." She trailed her hands down my thigh, as she whispered seductively, "I'll just need a little more loving~"

"So how should we plan the wedding? Where will we hold it? The ship?" My mother asked as she wiped some ice cream from Star's face.

"I don't think your sister can get a flight here." My father joked

"I bet she'll ask me to comp her for that too." My mother added with a sweet laugh.

"I will just make portals for them to come over if need be but I'd rather keep it small. Just us with an android officiant."

"Oh, I know this absolutely lovely place in the MCU." Wanda said, rubbing our wedding band, "It's on this planet with a permanent aurora borealis. There's this little cliffside beach with beautiful singing crystals. It even smells like wet earth and sandalwood. It's simply divine." She took hold of my hand and gently squeezed it, "We had our wedding there. Yue will love it."

"As long as the ocean isn't made of breast milk." Jackie laughed.

"Ugh, don't even remind me." Lisa gagged.

"I don't think I'll ever drink milk again in my life." Paige shuddered.

"Yeah. Sorry about that. But in my defence, you guys sperm jacked me. So consider it atonement."

"That means we don't have to atone any longer?" Lisa instantly caught onto my words.

Clever girl.

"Sure. But that doesn't give you free rein to be irresponsible or-"

Just then the tv screen flickered and a green insectoid appeared on it accompanied by screams.

Cell.

So it's that time already huh?

All eyes immediately turned to the tv, as the cafe owner raised the volume, looking on curiously.

"I am Cell! Pay attention to what I am about to say, people of Earth." The camera panned over to him amidst the pleas of the newscaster.

"Your boring lives are about to get a lot more interesting thanks to me. I have enjoyed terrorizing Earth but now I have something much more entertaining planned for this pathetic planet. For those who don't remember me, take a good look at my face."

"You're the monster of Miki town!" The cameraman exclaimed.

"I'm the evolved form of that creature. And I owe it all to this worthless planet for providing me the vile extract needed. The reason I am here is to announce my decision to hold a martial arts tournament. I'm calling it the Cell Games! Catchy little title, don't you think?

The Cell Games will be held 9 days from today at area S, point 5, 28 miles northeast of Easten city. There you will find an arena I designed myself. I based it on your own arenas which held the previous martial art tournaments....."

"Is it some horror movie trailer?" My father asked.

"No. I told you how dangerous some worlds can be right? This is what I meant." I explained, "Most worlds are extremely dangerous, filled with world destroying monsters like these."

"Does that mean he will destroy this planet? How is that even possible?" My mother asked.

"Everything is possible in the omniverse, Ma."

"Aren't you going to do something about him? You can't just let him destroy this world." My father asked.

"It's not my wor-"

"Now have a little taste of my power!" Cell announced just then, and raised a hand at the window and shot out an energy ball at it.

"Hold on isn't that-" Wanda couldn't vomplete the sentence when my forcefield flickered on, defending us from the attack.

I slapped the table and let out a groan.

"Alright. You're right Pa. He needs to be stopped. How dare he target my babies?!" I stood up and finished, my cake before turning to face the gruesome sight his attack had carved through the city.

"But first, let's revive these people." I snapped my fingers and reality shifted and flipped, time began to flow backwards around us and all the damage Cell's attack had caused was undone. The dead revived, good as new, and I enjoyed the astonished looks on my parents faces.

They didn't truly realise just how powerful I was till now did they?

Hehehehehe. I always like to see that expression.

"I'll be back in second." I said and disappeared.

In the distance, Cell stared gobsmacked at the scene unfolding before him.

"What is that? How is that possible?"

Suddenly a burst of light appeared behind him accompanied by a boice.

"All things are possible through me."

He turned to see a man in a labcoat descending from the air, a divine halo rotating behind his back.

"What the fuc-"

A blinding light enveloped the studio turning him to ash before he could even finish the sentence, while simultaneously healing the injured people in the building.

"Rest in peace, bitch. And next time, aim better." I grinned and disappeared again, appearing in the cafe, all eyes on me.

But what mattered most was my father's proud smile.

"Good job, son."

I smiled back.

"I think it's time we left. We have overstayed our welcome in this world. I don't want another cult to pop up worshipping me for no reason."

My mother raised an eyebrow.

"Another? How many-"

"Too many Ma, too many." I shook my head, teleporting us all back to the meeting spot.

Yue and Riley were waiting there for us with a baby raptor in their hands, cooing over it as they fed it a piece of meat.

Ace and Saraswati were there too, but in significantly worse mood.

I kissed Yue before turning to Ace.

"What happened? And where's your uncle?"

Ace fidgeted about a bit before speaking up.

"So here's the thing....."

That doesn't sound good.

I directly scanned her biochip and got the memories from her.

"This stupid little brother of mine." I sighed.

"....sorry." Ace deflated with guilt.

"No, no. Ace, it's not your fault." I gave her a hug as she sniffled, gently patting her back.

"Your uncle just has a stupidly huge inferiority complex. Don't worry, I'll go get him."

"What did he do?" My father asked.

"He went treasure hunting to prove himself. I'll go get him. Give me a minute." I assured them and teleported away.

.

Somewhere on a frozen mountain peak, a man jumped out from a flying car, following a radar in his hand as he realized the situation. The dragon ball was buried under the snow. And he hadn't brought gloves, or shovels.

He looked back at the car and then at his own hands as he steeled his resolve.

"I can do this." He knelt down into the snow and began to dig. His fingers were cold, and the snow was sapping his strength fast. Soon enough, he couldn't even feel his fingers as they came upon an amber orb. He brushed the snow aside with haste and pulled the orb out from under it with force.

Hilding it up in the air between his numb and frostbitten hands he could see three little stars inside it. But the force with which pulled it out dislodged the snow around him.

Krakathoom!

The ice shelf rumbled as it began to slide down the sheer cliff, dragging him with it, his feet buried in snow.

He screamed in fear but to no avail as the avalanche buried him further.

"This is how I die huh? A failure. Always two steps behind." He sobbed quietly.

He was tired, out of breath and nearly unconscious when all of a sudden a light flashed and he was out.

I'm out? He thought. Was it all a hallucination?

No. He looked down at the amber orb in his hands.

"That's three down. Four more to go-"

"And then what? Die of frostbite? Thirst? Hypothermia? You stupid idiot!" A voice called out to him from behind as warmth enveloped him. His fingers didn't feel numb anymore and the blueness on them disappeared into thin air. His lungs which felt like they had iced over now gulped full and fresh breaths and he found himself in a lush field of flowers with baby dragons playing around.

He looked up at the shadow cast on his face and sighed.

"Big brother."

"Yes, idiot. It's me. What do you think you were doing?"

"I'm sorry-"

"No you're not. You'll just try it again. I can read your mind you know. 'If only I had thought to prepare more, if only that stupid avalanche didn't come, if only, if only.' Bullshit. Speak your mind dammit. Don't you realize the danger you put yourself in?!" I scolded.

He just looked down in shame and anger as he clenched his fists.

"What do you know, huh? Do you know what it's like being compared to you? All the time! It's all the time. Look at your brother, he graduated top of his grade. He got selected for the international maths olympiad. He got a gold in swimming. He got into Stanford at 16. Why can't you do half of what he does? Why can't I? Huh? Tell me brother? Why can't I? Why am I such a failure? Why can't I ever.... Why can't I ever live up to their expectations?" He teared up, hiding his face, "You have everything. Everything! Good grades, good looks, beautiful wives, now you're even a god! How am I supposed to compare to that? To any of that? The perfect prodigal son!?

I just wanted to be a saiyan. To do something on my own. Achieve something worthwhile. To prove to myself that I can do it too Because if I can't....What am I if I can't even-"

I didn't let him finish the sentence as I oulled him into a hug.

"I'm sorry. I knew what you were feeling, even back then but I was too afraid to say it. To address the issue and open my heart. And I'm sorry for that." I rubbed his back as he sniffled in my arms, "You don't have to compare yourself to me. You don't have to be me. You never did, and you never should have. All you need to be is you. And you're perfect at that, aren't you?" I ket him settle down for a moment before I continued.

"You're not a failure. Trust me. You're not. And Ma and Pa don't mean it. They really don't. They just want you to live the best life they can. They say that to motivate you to do better, to push your limits but if you can't, they won't hate you for it. They could never hate you for it. Take it from me, I'm a father too. My kids are my life. If they didn't do even a tenth of what I did in my life, I would be fine with it, as long as they lived long and happy lives. I went through hell to get here, little brother and I would be more than glad if my children never had to suffer through the same."

"Really?" He asked, softly.

"Yes. You don't have to be the best at anything for that. You just have to be happy being you. And if pushing you leads to something like this? Endangering your life? They'd never forgive themselves for it."

That finally got to him and he slumped own, as the realisation sunk in.

I hugged him for a bit longer until he finally hugged me back.

".... I'm sorry." He muttered.

"Say that to Ace. You had her worried."

"Oh shit. The poor girl, I didn't mean to-" He fretted over it again.

"It's okay. It's okay. Calm down. Deep breaths. Deep breaths." He followed my instructions and calmed down.

"And as for being a saiyan goes...." I snapped my fingers and seven dragon balls appeared before us, floating in the air.

"Don't you have a wish to make?"
