Fate is a funny thing. Well, there was a small amount of expectation that I would end up in the 'Big Leagues'.
Power attracts power, that is a universal law, and I don't want to sound too arrogant, but I do possess a considerable amount of destructive power.
It has reached the point that I could not continue training in Siberia anymore.
I have destroyed too many mountains and too many people started crawling around, not only that but I could feel several 'eyes' on me for several months now.
Mostly it's the intent behind the satellites, which baffled me to no end. My sensory ability has reached such a frightening level.
That I can feel the intent behind things now...
Nonetheless, even if Siberia was out of limits I ended up going to the North Pole for a bit…
It was far too boring there as it only had frozen icebergs, so I ended up going to the South Pole.
More mountains to blow up and even fewer lifeforms to worry about.
Plus the icy temperatures helped with the tempering of my power as well.
Allow me to have a breakthrough to the next stage of power.
Which made my sensory abilities improve to the point that it covered the whole planet.
After this breakthrough, I could no longer understand my limits, instead, I focused on refining my control over KI as much as possible.
That meant I spent more time with my adopted sister who finally unlocked her KI as well.
After that, she realised how long it was going to take her to be able to fly on her own, she huffed and puffed at me.
Nonetheless, she trained hard with her KI towards flying.
Constantly getting exhausted and focusing her KI towards her legs floating inches above the ground.
Just remembering that makes me amused…
"Can't believe we ended up in America of all things!" The blonde next to me said in a heavy English accent.
Yes, Illyana's English was much better than ever before.
"*Sigh* I suppose it's destiny that we ended up in this place," I said with a sigh.
"Don't be so melodramatic, I barely sense anyone with an above-average power level in this place." She said that with an eye roll, she couldn't see my reason for drama well. She will understand eventually.
Same time she was right, there is no real supernatural activity yet. In the world, and the year was 2008, Tony Stark is still a merchant of death, Captain America is still a popsicle, and there is no sign of Asgardians…
But, there are already sightings of a weird guy swinging through the streets of New York.
There is only one guy I know who swings through the streets of New York…
Spiderman, which throws another wrench into making this place MCU… MCU would be best for me because I could use the knowledge to my advantage…
But, Spiderman being around this early makes it at least an Alternative reality of the place…
Well, we will see how this is going to progress…
"You are right on that," I said to her as my gaze swept through the schoolyard, I could see some tall guys in football uniforms talking with girls who were dressed in miniskirts.
Oh, those are the cheerleaders...damn… they look not bad at all in those skirts and tight tops.
My gaze stayed slightly longer on the blonde girl in the group.
'That should be Liz Allen, and that big dude next to her should be Eugene...like hell I am going to call him 'Flash'...'
'Here goes another inconsistency with MCU. Liz is supposed to be of Hispanic descent and this one doesn't look like one at all.'
"I thought you don't like weak people," Illyana said with a very icy tone, she noticed my stare at the cheerleaders, and yes, my dear adopted sister has a thing for me.
"One can always appreciate a beautiful porcelain vase," I said with a shrug diffusing the situation.
*Snort*
"If you say so, we should get to our class, first period should start soon." She said that to me as the blonde motioned to start walking towards the school's main building entrance.
*Sigh*
Here we go again, high school. At least for another two years and then it's college which will give me much more freedom towards training.
Hopefully, by then, there will be some good opponents to beat up and push myself to the limit.
For now, I can only wait.
Thankfully I am in Midtown High right now in the heart of New York…and all the events.
~~~
What… the… why?
Why am I in class with not one, not two, but three Parkers' love interests!?
This doesn't make any freaking sense!
Now, I can truly throw any knowledge I know through the window!
My eyes swept through the classroom, two people stood out from the whole class energy-wise.
One of them is a nerdy-looking brown-haired teen, and the other one is… platinum-haired teen girl with striking green eyes, unlike the nerd's energy she is barely above regular human, but that shows that she is a physically extremely active individual, and can be even considered an adrenaline junkie.
Peter Parker a.k.a Spiderman seems he already has his powers, his inner fire is extremely weird compared to regular humans,
Like it's a locked-up campfire.
I do wonder how much more powerful he would become if I were to release those limiters.
Maybe if I were to push him to the limit he would try to improve his power further.
That would be interesting…
For now, I decided to forget about Spidey as the whole classroom was looking at us, the girls were staring at me while the boys were staring at my 'sister'.
"Ms Westwood, please introduce yourself." The homeroom teacher finally spoke, and she motioned for my blond sister to start with introductions.
She sighed first then started to speak, it seems her accent affected the guys already as they were looking at her even more.
"My name is Illyana Westwood."
"Please do tell us more about yourself." The homeroom teacher said with a sigh, she probably realised that we were not 'normal', my dear sister is not at my level by any stretch of the situation, but her presence is augmented just like mine.
"Fine... I like outside activities, sports, reading…" She said that from the top of her head by the looks of it, not truly mentioning anything of importance.
"And dislikes?" The older woman said with another sigh.
"...Quite a few of those." The blonde said with an eye roll.
"Very well, Mr. Westwood, please introduce yourself." The teacher decided that it was no use with the blond and decided to focus on me instead.
Perfectly honest I don't even know this woman's name…
"Reynold Westwood. 16 years old." I introduced myself casually.
Our homeroom teacher released a third and a very tired sigh.
"Mr Westwood likes and dislikes and please stop wasting time." She said that sharply, I only eye-rolled at her.
It wasn't my idea to do this Japanese style likes and dislikes thing…
"Right… well for likes I like Martial Arts…" Illyana snorted next to me…" Outdoor activities, sports…." I had a thoughtful look for a second.
"And for dislikes, I have quite a bit of those," I said with a shrug.
"Very well, since you are done with your introductions, take your seats." She motioned for us to move on to a couple of empty tables in the classroom.
Both of us nodded and went to take our seats.
Weirdly enough I ended up sitting next to a certain platinum-haired girl who was using her hand to hold her head.
She looked bored.
Once I got into my seat her bored gaze ended up looking at me, for a second she smiled, and I smiled back.
At that moment her smile disappeared and was replaced by a curious look, she looked like a cat who found something interesting.
Well, I guess I passed some sort of weird test of hers...
~~~~~~After The Period Was Over~~~~~~
"So, my mysterious neighbour, you like martial arts?" Felicia asked curiously, over the period she discreetly observed her new neighbour.
Just from a casual observation, she can tell that he is the real deal.
From posture to his physique which he doesn't hide at all, as that tight shirt can't hide those muscles.
"Yeah, somewhat, I have mastered most available forms of martial arts." He casually said with a shrug.
But, she did hear how his sister snorted at him, that can say to the platinum blonde that he is trying to be humble.
If she can guess, this guy is an exercising nut.
"That's… not 'somewhat', most people spend most of their lives mastering one form of martial arts." The platinum-haired girl said with disbelief, while she could see him being an exercising nut, she didn't quite believe that he mastered most available martial arts.
She wonders what 'most available' means in the first place.
"Hmm, true. Nonetheless, I am somewhat good at it, just leave it at that." He said that with a smile.
The platinum-haired girl next to him smiled back at him.
'Well, this place might not be boring after all.' Felicia thought to herself, as she initiated a small staring competition with him.
Then, it was interrupted at the very same moment when Illyana with two girls came over.
"Ray, Gwen and Mary Jane agreed to show around." The blonde girl showed the two new girls to her brother.
The black-haired teen was curious why these two specifically.
Curiosity at newcomers? Possibly.
While Ray was curious, the platinum-haired girl slightly frowned when she was interrupted like that.
"This is good, I will come with you." Felicia stood up as well, like hell she would be denied her time with this mysterious neighbour of hers!
"Hmm? There is no need for the two of us to be enough." Mary Jane said with a 'friendly' smile.
She received the same type of 'smile' back from Felicia.
"It's fine, I am new here as well, only been a week since I transferred as well." The platinum-haired girl said that as she took Ray's hand, she tried to pull him towards the doors so that they would get their tour of the school together.
But, soon enough the girl realised that she couldn't move the teen whose hand she was holding!
'W-What the…'
She tried to pull him harder this time, but he was like a tree with deep roots!
*Snort*
"Don't do that, you're only going to embarrass yourself," Illyana said to Felicia, with a slightly mocking tone.
The blonde girl already notices that the platinum-haired classmate of hers is quite interested in her brother.
Not that she expects her to go far, she tried herself multiple times to seduce him.
Well, such a thing should be wrong as they are 'siblings' now, but she never saw him as one and she can guarantee that Raynold never saw her as a sister, more like a pet. As embarrassing as it sounds.
So, Illyana can safely say that Felicia is not going to be lucky with her seduction, as she is nothing more than a 'Porcelain vase', at least that's what the blond girl thinks.
"Well, why don't you three show us where the canteen is?" Ray said that while completely ignoring the frustrated platinum-haired girl who tried to pull him.
"Sure thing!" The other blonde said with a smile, she was slightly more on the smarter side looks-wise than Ray's adopter sister.
Ray slightly nodded while taking in her looks, all three of Parker's love interests are stunning to look at, he has no idea how they all ended up in the same class and year even, but his life is going to be very… unique to say the least.
Depending on how the events unfold in the future all three of these girls can gain some sort of superpower through certain events…
While Ray has not spent too much time on the wiki, he knows that Mary Jane can get possessed by some ancient warrior woman, and Gwen is known to become a spider woman as well…
So, many possibilities for the future…
And of course, Felicia Hardy A.K.A Black Cat, anyone who read the Spiderman comic book knows of her.
Ray for a second wondered if she had her X-gene for bad luck.
Since she was holding his hand, the black-haired teen didn't want to get bad luck so he focused his senses on the girl. He can already deduce that people with X-gene have slightly different life forces… at least the active ones as Illyana's KI is slightly different and has a different 'feel' to it.
'Thankfully she is just an adrenaline junkie…' Ray thought with a sweatshop, he didn't mind hardcore training, but experiencing bad luck? No, thank you…
"Since you guys are going to the canteen we will join you, my name is Harry Osborn by the way." The junior green goblin introduced himself.
"And this is my best friend Peter Parker." The Heir to Osborn's fortune showed the brown-haired nerdy-looking teen, who is trying quite hard to maintain his nerdy behaviour.
'Well, he doesn't look like Tom Holland at all…'
