heroes vs charles

Charles was quietly walking down a street while reflecting on this world:

'Come to think of it, I have already altered history too much.... Brian should never have met Thomas and Annabelle and Elizabeth should be in love with Brian right now.'

Charles turned a corner and reflected again:

'But it's not my fault, if I really had control over things, I would want to stay hidden and let things unfold on their own, but unfortunately, my existence is not something that can be ignored in this world.... Sigh, I feel like eating something cold.'

Charles continued walking and finally stopped at what appeared to be an ice cream shop and went inside. After entering, he had noticed that there was only one couple with a child drinking ice cream.

He was glad that there was only them and decided that it would not cause any trouble and that he would take his ice cream quietly.

Charles walked to the reception desk where a girl was waiting and said:

"How do I get my ice cream?"

The clerk, who seemed to be busy fiddling with his cell phone, put it away quickly and said cheerfully:

"New customers? What can I do for you?"

Charles was a little surprised by the girl's cheerful tone, but quickly recovered and replied:

"I want to know how I get my ice cream."

"I'll show you, follow me."

The girl said in a cheerful tone and left the reception room and started walking to the freezers where the ice cream was.

Charles saw her walking and started to follow her to the freezers.

After they got there, the girl started pointing her fingers at each of the freezers and said:

"This is artisan ice cream, this is Italian gelato, premium ice cream, sorbets, popsicles, ice cream on a stick and..."

Charles was getting bored of hearing all this and told her interrupting:

"I want artisanal ice cream."

The girl realized she was being annoying but ignored him and replied with a smile:

"That's okay, you can take as much as you want, the shells are next to the freezer."

Charles took a shell and started to assemble three balls of ice cream and chocolate and then walked over to a table away from people, sat down and started eating his ice cream.

The girl was surprised that the man didn't go to the cashier to pay, but decided to charge him after he was done eating, so she decided to go back to the front desk and wait for the man to finish eating.

As he ate his ice cream, Charles reflected:

'I should go after Lucifer.... He has the other part of the hand of god.'

Charles finished eating his ice cream and thought again:

'But having to break into hell, go through a sea of demons, and face the devil himself, is very tiring...'

Suddenly, a man in a suit sat down next to him, Charles did not understand why someone had sat there and asked:

"Why did you sit here?"

The man calmly started to take a pack of cigarettes out of his pockets, pulled out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, then snapped his fingers and the cigarette lit itself.

The cigarette smoke began to circulate around the establishment and Charles didn't like that smell and asked again:

"What do you want here?"

The man said quietly:

"Take a look around, we are the only ones here..."

Charles had long since realized that there were only the two of them in the ice cream shop, but he decided to ignore this and said:

"All the civilians who were within a 1000 meter radius seem to have been evacuated."

The man picked up his cigarette with his two fingers and said:

"If you realized that, then you must know that you are surrounded."

"Yes, sensing their presences, they must be S-class.... Did I do something wrong, hero?"

The man stopped smoking and began to speak in a sad tone:

"I had a daughter, she was only 18 years old..."

Charles started to eat the ice cream cone and asked:

"What was her name?"

The man dragged on his cigarette and answered:

"Emily, her name was Emily..."

"Hmm, never heard of her."

The man clasped his hands tightly as if he was very angry, but he suppressed that hatred and took a picture of the girl out of his pockets and placed it on the table.

Charles was finishing eating his bark and looked at the picture of the girl and said:

"I don't know who she is."

"You don't know or you don't remember?"

Charles wondered for a while and replied:

"Both perhaps."

"I understand, but let me remind you, she was wearing a training outfit when she was killed, her hair was black and her eyes were blue, she was 160cm tall and died with her head cut in half."

Charles really struggled to remember this girl, but nothing came to his divine memory. After a while of trying to remember, he asked:

"Do you have any other information?"

The hero was already losing the line, but decided to keep it professional and said:

"She was making a live video when she died."

"Yes, I remember her! She was doing a live broadcast where there were 80,000 people watching, if I'm not mistaken.... So she is your daughter? That's bad luck... But how did you find me?

The man went back to smoking his cigarette and replied:

"On the security cameras in the hallway, you seem to have teleported there, along with another student and then we could see your face thanks to the camera and then we put your face in the database and started looking for you all over the world and found you here."

"Amazing the technology of this world to locate me so easily, you guys are to be congratulated."

"Before we started... Did you feel any remorse when you killed my daughter and all the people in the restaurant?"

Charles smiled and spoke trying to comfort the man:

"I didn't feel anything, but for your information, it is in my nature not to feel anything, so don't blame me."

"I see..."

Charles and the man remained without saying anything for an indeterminate amount of time, a strange and dangerous atmosphere descended upon the room, until suddenly, the man stood up and shouted:

"Now!"

In an instant, several heroes burst into the establishment through the windows, walls and ceiling and all were attacking Charles with long-range attacks.

Charles looked at all the oncoming attacks and smiled.... it had all started.
