"huh... So this is how it look likes before the plague" Alex said as he look around for potential enemies, when suddenly someone tap him from his back

Then Due to paranoia he made a front flip to create distance with his "would be assailant", pulling a black dagger from his shoes while his other hand slowly reach out for the gun in the bag

"woah! Woah! Those are some impressive move kid! Are you some kind of superhero? No those clothes don't look like spandex to me an agent perhaps? No you're too young to be an agent maybe a martial artist?" The old man said

The old man with white brush back hair seems familiar to Alex, The man has black rimmed glasses, a white mustache and a spectacular smile

'where have I seen this man?' now that Alex look closely the Old man kinda looks like stan lee but much more younger?

"who are you?" Alex ask with narrowed eyes "and what do you want? "

"oh yeah sorry kid! My name is Stan, Stan Lee The keeper- Alex cut off the old man with a question "The Keeper of the Multiverse? "

"What! No! I mean I'm the keeper, keeper of the park and your venturing on restricted area, so if you would kindly vacate this area please" Stan said

'hmm... If he really is Stan Lee then this answered some of my question' Alex thought to himself 'because I'm sure as hell Stan Lee don't work as a park keeper and besides he looks harmless to me... Hmm.. Wait! Is this one of his cameos?!'

Realizing that he had to give a reply soon, Alex sheath back his dagger and slowly approach Old man Stan, he scratch the back of his head then said "I'm sorry Mister Stan I didn't know that this place was restricted you see I kinda just arrive here at new york so I was kinda lost?"

"Oh is that so well come on then i'll show you the way out" Stan said

For a person who was threatened with a dagger he is kinda chill, maybe this is a common occurance perhaps?

"That's it? You won't ask why I have a blade with me?" Alex ask

"Kid this is New York, weird is common here by the way where are your parents?" Old man Stan ask

"Well you see Mister Stan I'm an Orphan-" Their talk continues as Mister Stan questioned Alex about why his here or what are his plan from then on

A few minutes walking they reach the exit Mister Stan look at Alex then smiled "Well Kid welcome to New York"

********

Alex with the recommendation of Mister Stan was now on a motel called "MarvelHome" while it was kinda cliche considering the universe his in, but anyway he had already taken an inventory of his so called SI starter pack and this are things that he got:

2 Deagles with enchanted bullets

6 pairs of clothes

3 Gallons of water

12 boxes granola bar

12 boxes of cup noodles

12 boxes of can goods

5000$

A credit card with unknown amount of money

Identification Papers complete with drivers liscence

and lastly The Sword of Astadel

And if you're wondering how those things fit in the pack well the pack is also enchanted

Now that he have done an inventory, it is now time for the million dollar question: What should he do now?

After thinking for a while he had decided that he will not become a hero nor become a villain instead he wants to have a peaceful life free of dangers and worries, maybe even open a coffee shop, a bookstore or perhaps why not both

With that being said he quickly took a shower, then went to sleep on his comfy bed, he quickly falls asleep with a smile to his face, greatful that he is finally able to rest after such a long time.
