Chapter 6 Universe of heroes. Part 1.

Act 1 Union of Metas Bef-Interrogation: Abyss. Earth 0.

Log date Earth year 3025 of the Dionysus calendar. Month of the Rabbit. By Meta-Human Prisoner, Star of the Abyss and Soul descendant of Daniel. Level 3 Psion, Rank Unknown.

In a room of white, and softened walls where one wall shows a mirrored windowed wall. Within that white room is a young man in his middling 20s, brown wavy hair, a super model's physique, and blue flaming eyes that promises either pleasure or doom.

(Abyss) Hmm, wonder when they'll realize I can see through the glass. I was looking towards the one way mirror within this. . . interrogation room? Well at least it's comfortable and the lights warm and pretty. . . if it was better times I wouldn't mind drinking tea here with sister Maria. . .

(a mature looking lady in uniform) And how do you know he's an alien! And don't start with "Cause he said so" I swear Miyu if your boyfriend here is just a late blooming meta I will. . .

(Miyu) Sis! He's not! I already looked through his records! All blanks! Miyu looked very worried and frustrated and mostly felt the same. And is that her sister? They didn't look similar but she's feeling suspicion and happiness? 

The flood of memories from Daniel had stopped hours ago. . . I know there's more but it seems I need to do something within this memory bubble, before I can move on to other memories.

I now have over 2 decades of memories in this lifetime. . . it was odd experiencing a childhood, having parents. . . they were like Sister Maria and . . . Grandpa Song of harmony. . . It is odd to think of him as a grandfather but it felt right.

Ha ha ha . . .Daniel was right, I would need his memories if I wanted to live a good life while doing what was asked of me. I looked back at the two. It seems they were done with their talk.

Act 2 Union of Metas Dur-Interrogation: Jihoon. Earth 0.

(Young operator) Ma'am! Interrogation ready.

(Jihoon) Is the psion dampeners set?

(Young operator) Yes ma'am! The anti-psion suits are in use, too ma'am!

(Jihoon)Good. . .

That's good, but if what Miyu told me is accurate, those suits wouldn't work. I need to get a team ready just in case.

(Jihoon) Tell security team A-Psi-2 to be ready for accidents, operations begin once everything is ready. . .The young operator nodded.

I looked to my wayward sister and she's worried, soI yanked at her tail, making her yelp. (Miyoung) Shia! Sis! What the hell! I told you to stop doing that!

(Jihoon) And I told you to stop dating blanks but nooo. . . "I love how weak they feel~" is never a good answer Miyu.

she looked down at that as I saw two of our agents entering the sense deprivation room.

0 0 0 0 0

I watched in silence as I watched both Miyu and the interrogation. (Older man) What's your name kid?

(Daniel Abyss) It is Daniel Fyrebird, my other is Star of the Abyss. My friends in this world calls me Dan, on the other it's Blue. 

Now that's odd, none of the lie detectors are telling us his lying. . . he really believes that his Daniel, and this space whale called Abyss. 

(Older man) Right. . . The older man was turned silent by his answer. 

(Older woman) How long did you know you were a meta-human Daniel?

The one that saved the older man was another agent. She was more experience in this, it seems, I might give her an acknowledgement, if we get what we want from my little sis's boytoy.

(Daniel Abyss) Just this morning in my current body Daniel's body, manifesting me, Star of the Abyss, by doing so, we had merged our minds. But as Star of the Abyss I always had my psionics. It was just that I learned what it is and how to train it not too long ago.

Again no lying. . . we never told him to not lie. Is this intentional? Or is he just that honest?

(Jihoon) Hey Miyu, is your boyfriend always honest?

She nodded and told me yes, that he was always honest with her, and even made the cutest faces when he did try to lie. . . sigh, can't believe my sister turned into such a pervert.

I pressed the com. And told the interrogators to ask him to lie. (Interrogator woman) tell us a lie, what is your name?

Hmm, a bit forward for my taste but, the kid seems cooperative.

(Daniel Abyss) I am called Maria, I am a priestess of the golden jade sanctuary tasked by humanity as an envoy and social researcher to research the society of the elder race known as the Oogwaians.

The operation panel that my tech operator was using started to blink and vibrate in red. (Tech) Ma'am he. . .(Jihoon) Yes he lied.

But that lie sounded to detail. . . and that name sounded to human, hopefully i'm just thinking too much.

(Jihoon) Continue.

I said towards the interrogators and I watched as they continued to ask the list of questions we planned for based on protocol.

(Interrogator man) Are you comfortable in this room?

(Daniel Abyss) Yes, honestly if I had tea and pie with me this place would be the perfect late afternoon tea spot. . . but I do prefer the forest garden.

No lies, and it seems the deprivation room doesn't have an effect on him.

(Interrogator man) is that so? He seems troubled by that answer, as he should be. We all went through deprivation training and it was far from being a place we wanted to stay in.

But he didn't show much but a slight change in his voice, his not a completely useless personnel then. They continued the boy just nodding to the man's reaction.

(Jihoon) Ask question 5. I told the agents.

(Interrogator woman) Can you tell and show us your abilities?

Moment of truth, let's see if my sister needs more discipline and if this kid needs to be taught that he shouldn't play along with her pranks.

(Daniel Abyss) That sounds reasonable, so we can move on in a more pleasant company and setting.

I saw him winking towards my sister. . . which shouldn't be possible unless he can see through the one way mirror. He stood up, his chains unlocking themselves with a soft click.

(Daniel Abyss) My first projection, Material connection. I can use my psionic energy to ask certain objects to do favors for me. 

The agents stood up in alarm, well I can't blame them, they were only E rank meta-humans one has fast reflexes and the other heals fast. . . but that's only compared to F rank human athletes.

Their hands on the stun guns on their hips. And they should be scared the room still had the dampeners, so that means this boy is strong enough to resist it and still use his powers.

(Daniel Abyss) Second projection, Voice of Harmony. Please do not be alarmed. I would do no harm to anyone. 

I felt relaxed, everyone looked relaxed, the edge we were all in the worry, the fear. . .just gone. . . that is a terrifying power. The two agents inside, completely relaxed, like they were about to head home after a drink in a bar

(Daniel Abyss) My second projection, it takes away negative emotions or lightens a person or creature's mood.

He then smiled at me. Forcing me to refocus myself and made me create a barrier of force around me as I pulled in my sister.

(Daniel Abyss) Third Projection my favorite, Abyssal Flames.

Everything around me ignited into a blue brilliant flame as a bright halo crowned itself around the. . . monster's azul haired head. . . then everything turned back to normal, he got back to seating on his chair, ignoring the wails of apology and regret from the two infront of him or those around me.

Act 3 Union of Metas Aft-Interrogation: Abyss. Earth 0.

In a tower within a sea of a city, near the glass wall overlooking the city. a young man in his 20s sat at a table, on a floor that appeared to be an office cafe.

his chest covered with a formal shirt, with no jacket, his legs covered in soft clothed jeans, and feet with stylish rubber shoes.

His hair was brown, waved and slightly long like that of a stereotypical surfer, his eyes light blue like the waters of a coral beach.

(Abyss) Are we breaking up? I asked as I looked into the eyes of my lover in this life.

We were given space. From what I know those people acting like they were having lunch are a bunch of D ranks and E ranks observing me. And probably to protect the district director's sister.

(Miyoung) I. . .I Don't know. 

She looked sullen and unsure, her emotions were the same as the ones she's showing. This made me smile, I always love those who were transparent in their passions.

(Abyss) Good~ Smooch~ 

I kissed her as she reacted to my voice, as she looked up and looked into eyes, I felt stirring from those around us but none made a move, I felt great hesitation in them.

(Abyss) It's good that we're not breaking up. . .Daniel was positively smitten with you, and Now I am too.

I was holding the side of her reddening cheek. I felt her push me back gently creating some distance. 

(Miyoung) I'm . . .please stop doing that Abyss, I need time to process all this. . .but if you really still have Daniel as a part of you, I want to try. . .but not now. . .please?

I nodded to her giving her concessions. She smiled at that, finally calming down.

(Abyss) So your sisters the DD? Kinda explains why you always change the channel everytime news about her is on the news-net. . . 

I started off conversing about the most mundane things like her past vagueness of her family and her actual work. And on who I was both as Daniel and Abyss. I loved the look she made when she learned Daniel was actually old money nobility.

(Jihoon) Already seducing the monster little Miyu?

We were interrupted by Miyoung's older sister, she was a mature beauty, wearing clothes at the crossroads of a military officer and office secretary uniform.

She had an intricate saber in her left hip belt and a malicious looking pistol on her right hip belt. Her black violet tipped hair tied in a loose bun. And her violet eyes looked straight at my own.

(Abyss) I don't think your sister likes me, Miyu. I smiled at her and spoke quietly but clearly enough that her sister could hear me, and then I stood up and offered my hand to her.

(Abyss) Let me properly introduce myself, you lady District Director. my lover's sister and my captor. I am Star of the Abyss. Formerly known as Daniel Fyrebird. It's lovely to finally meet my future sister. 

I smiled sweetly as I felt embarrassment from Miyoung and saw a twitch on Jihoon's brow, and then felt a slight embarrassment from her but mostly annoyance.

(Jihoon) Cough. . . Well good to meet you as well, young monster, I'm Jihoon Snow. She took my hand as I brough hers near my heart and then mine near her's 

(Jihoon) Now, sorry to interrupt your "date" Miyu, but he needs to follow me. The councilors are ready to impart their judgment.

Miyoung looked hesitant at her sister's words, and then she was about to lash out. but before that could happen I placed a hand on her soft eared head and gave a kiss on her forehead.

(Abyss) It's fine Miyu I'll see you later. Buy me my favorite?

(Miyoung) Promise me you'll come back! You keep him safe sis!

She looked at her sister. She was conflicted at first but nodded at the end.

(Abyss) I will, I promise, just wait for me alright?. . . I don't want to take the metro home. Ha ha ha. We laughed at the small joke I made as I and her sister left her.

Act 4 Through the corridors: Abyss. Earth 0.

The glass, steel and wood of the corridors we were walking in made the narrowness of it nonexistent. but casual glances of personnel or others moving through similar corridors made it communal in a way.

Even beautiful if you consider the natural lighting of such architecture giving light to the many plant life decorations, within the corridors and connected rooms. 

Except for a few rooms that were fully covered in a mix of steel and cement, clearly rooms of importance as we were going towards one such room. with the insignia of union of meta's emblazon on its doors.

But we were still in the corridors walking at a casual pace. I guess they're still deliberating?

(Abyss) "Elder sis? Oh no should I still call you captor?"

She paused. I felt confusion within her for a mere second and then it became realization and then a flurry of other emotions frustration was the bulk of it.

(Jihoon) Mr Abyss. Refrain from linking with my mind. I don't know if you can read minds or just send voices and before we know please do not use your "Projections"

She gave me a stern look as she turned around and spoke to me but at the end she smiled and ended with.

(Jihoon) another thing. you're not my prisoner and stop calling me sister I'm not my inlaw yet. 

She turned around as we continued our pace. Towards the meating room.

(Abyss) alright I'll stop using my active projections, but I'll tell you now, I can feel the emotions of everyone around me even when I'm not focusing on my psionics. Sister captor.

(Jihoon) Is that so? What am I feeling now?

(Abyss) You're hiding it well, I presume it's your training? But I can still sense it, you have a mixture of annoyance, irritation, and worry? Oh, we just met Jiji I. . . 

It was too quick for me to do anything about, but as I realized what happened. her hand was on my chest, and I was pinned on the glass wall that turned opaque as my back leaned on it.

(Jihoon) Stop. I know my sister loves you, but I'm prepared for her to hate me for a couple of years. If it means I can keep you domesticated, am I clear?

I felt her pressure deepen, as she looked at me, her emotions becoming harder to feel, as I saw a low glowing transparent barrier surrounding her like a second layer of skin.

I gave her a smile. As I looked into her eyes, and slowly pushed her hand away as I whispered to her ear.

(Abyss) Crystal, ma'am. Please, if we keep being this close to each other people would talk.

Her eyes refocused as she stepped back away from me, and then coughed in her hand a small tinge of pink on her cheeks.

(Jihoon) At Least now I know why Miyu likes you so much, let's go.

We continued our walk, both coming into a comfortable silence.

And there we are in front of a set of large, heavy, dark wood doors. And it opened for us to enter and we did.

Act 5 Meeting the councilors: Abyss. Earth 0.

In a hall of shadows, I was in the middle of this hall, the emblem of this union welded in the epoxy like floor. A strong circular light surrounded me as the ceiling opened partially, leaving a circular sunroof.

Those were what laid above and below me, but in Front me? It made me think this hall was like that of an old courtroom. 7 high judges, the middle elevated slightly compared to the others.

I only see silhouettes of them much, like the monitors at my sides, who were probably the audiences to my trial. I cannot see them but I can feel them.

They were old for the humans of this age, the oldest and probably their leader is around 2 centuries give or take. That is based on their soul imprints on their bones. . . they could be far older.

(Head Elder) Star of the Abyss, a psion of the highest level, a meta-human beyond the B rank. . . An Azula Star Bayleen that melded soul, mind and body to a blank named Daniel Fyrebird. . .

She stopped on those words, I felt she had more to say and those with her knowing more than those she proclaimed. This really feels like a trail.

(Abyss) I am Star of the Abyss and Also Daniel Fyrebird, A space celestial-fauna and the heir and major shareholder of the Fyrebird Steelwork Industries.

I took a pause and then bowed towards the elders in front of me.

(Abyss) And I give my respect to the high elder Seer, and the elders council before me. . .I accept the judgment of this court. "May wisdom and progress rule your choice"

I sent a powerful projection outwards, felt every soul within this complex and beyond. I felt the recoil or reaction of every soul to my projection.

I can feel Jihoon gasp, and almost fall, clutching at the railings that surrounded, the border of light that bathes me. Which was normal, she was partly a psion, but her abilities seems to focus on the physical elements rather than the immaterial.

(Seer) Ha ha ha ha!

Laughter pervaded the once silent hall, as my little display of force seemed to have stunned even the elders before me. But that silence was broken at the old woman's laughter.

(Seer) Light!

The ceiling and walls turned, translucent. Showing the hall in all its glory. the front, high tables where the elders can pass judgment, every table a different banner hung. The sides were a symposium of terraced thrones. And in the middle where I stood was a podium designed for all to hear my case.

The old Seer looked towards me, studying me in a new way. Her dark green hair turned a vibrant jade floating as her power bathed her in green. She was smiling at me like a cat with a new toy, but I can feel her real age even when she's using her power to hide in the small cute form.

Anyone who falls for her physical projection would think her as a bratty girl, in her early teens, wearing a sexy skin tight outfit if it was worn by an adult but on her it only looked cute.

Her hair was short, only reaching the bottom of her ears, but they stood up now, like a great wind was blowing below her. Emerald eyes still peered within mine as I met her gaze.

As I looked into those emerald eyes, I saw a glimpse no more like a shadow of the woman she is. This gave her pause from her cat-like behavior but not more than a second.

(Seer) Oh? Really? You would accept, any ruling this "Court" would provide? And that little show of yours? Of wisdom and progress?

(Abyss) A little demonstration, to show that I am who and what I say is true. For one's action can tell more truths than a dozen conversations. . .but fear the unwise who doesn't believe in truth.

(Seer) Hmm. . . you sound older than I am, boy.

(Abyss) It is the wisdom of my teacher. Elder seer.

(Seer) How did you know my power is future sight?

(Abyss) I can feel your pulse, elder. . . I feel all of your pulses I might not recognize most. But yours is something I've seen before Elder Seer.

She nodded. Before she could speak again, the elders besides her started to converse with her, and each other. finally awakened from their stupor of my projection. I whispered to Jihoon.

(Abyss) Whisper: Are you fine?

(Jihoon) Yes I am. . . You should have told me you would do that. Felt like someone yelled and shot a gun near my ears. Without the ringing afterwards.

I smiled at her, relieved that she was fine, I really don't want to tell Miyu that I crippled her sister. But everythings fine. I just need to wait for their judgment.

(Counselors Adviser) We had made a decision, boy, hear me now I Tempest, the counsel adviser and a founder of the Union of Meta's, and council before you.

(Councilors) Hereby inductornate you to our fold as a class 5 paragon. Serve are ranks, as great power comes with greater responsibility.

My memories are fuzzy when it comes to paragons but I know they are the champions and protectors of the cities of Earth-prime. And the Sol system.
