“What’s that in the sky? Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s fucking me! WOOOOOOOOOOHOOO!” I couldn’t stop myself from squealing. I’m flying. I am actually freaking flying!

[Your excitement is unwarranted. My scans of the earthen ‘internet’ indicate that humans frequently use flight for transportation. Please explain your reaction]

“Yah people do fly but never like this!” I made a gesture towards myself

[Ironman, Falcon, Vision and War machine are just a few known names capable flight. Besides them there are numerous articles of mutants capable of flight including your father Magneto]

“Thanks for killing my mood. I get it I’m not that special”

[You are welcome. I will be sure to monitor for such unreasonable behaviour in the future]

“Whatever” I continued to rise into the sky. Gravities restraints could not hold me. I was free. I breathed in the gradually cooling air. I stopped when I was in the stratosphere and looked down.

[I am turning on your suits space travel capabilities.] and just like that I felt my body change. All of a sudden, I had no respiratory system.

“This feels weird. Wait why can I still speak?”

[That is becau-]

“Alien tech, got it” I had to cut him off before I got another boring explanation which managed to show how superior the World mind was.

I looked down and noticed a few figures flying towards me.

[Use your helmet to zoom in on the incoming targets]

“Oh, I forgot I could do that” as I zoomed in, I couldn’t help but despair. Incoming where 3 ironman armour drones.

“Should I fly down to intercept them”

[That depends, are you willing to be taken into custody? If so, are you willing to register your name powers and affiliations as per the mutant registration act?]

“Uhm no?” what I have to do all that?

[Then I suggest you try out your combat ability. Not to worry I have just activated a jammer. None of what we do next will be seen. Afterwards I suggest you flee to space for a few minutes then renter earth at a different point to avoid tracking]

“Cool cool cool. You had me at combat” I felt energy build up inside me.it was intoxicating. My body began to glow as energy enveloped me.

“Unregistered enhanced. Come with us to the nearest military institution and we shall begin your registration process. Reveal your identity and do not resist. If you comply no harm will befall you. Everything will be done according to the Law do not fear” each of the iron legion drones repeated the same line but where out of sync.

I guess they rely on Wi-Fi. Whatever time to bring the heat. I’ve always wanted to say this

“KAAA.MEEEEE.HAAAAAAA.MEEEEEE.HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!”

I made the same motions as Goku and fired away. the two drones at the edge of the formation dodged my attack but the one in the middle took the hit head on. The drone first began to melt but then suddenly exploded into a ball of flames.

“Nova force and ark reactor energy are definitely not compatible” I watched the drone burn. It was beautiful. Who knew destruction could look this good? Well besides Michael Bay.

[Pay Attention. There are still two left. One is beading straight for you while the other is attempting to get in behind you]

“Oh shit. The other ones behind me.” I quickly turned around to check. the blue drone which was trying to get behind me had stopped for some reason and retreated. Taking advantage of my lack of awareness. The red drone which was approaching me from the front fired five missiles at my exposed back.

I was engulfed in flame. The shock of getting hit surprised me. But otherwise I felt nothing. No pain. No heat. Nothing.

[Of course, you would never be hurt by such a primitive projectile. From now on speak to me through your mind. Your foolishness told the enemy all they needed to know to counter my counter.]

Yes sir! Now track the location of the drones. When the smoke clears, I’m going to go on the offensive.

[Tracking. One is directly above you while the other is waiting to attack from below]

How fast can we fly?

[Within the earth’s atmosphere. Supersonic.]

Outside of the earth’s atmosphere?

The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.

[You can travel at the speed of light]

Fuck me.

[I do not know how to respond]

Don’t worry you’ve said enough. I’ve got it from here. I flew upwards as fast as the world mind let me. A loud sonic boom reverberated behind me. In an instant I was crashing through the red iron man drone cutting it in two. I blew up the two falling pieces with a blast from my palms.

Now all that’s left is blue. I looked down and saw the blue iron man drone escaping.

“oh no you don’t” instinctually I reached my had towards the iron man drone.

[what are you doing? The drone will escape my signal jamming zone]

I don’t know but I fell something. The blue energy surrounding me started shifting into a green glow.

[Registering fluctuations in the magnetic and electromagnetic forces around you]

“Come back!” the drone halted mid-flight. Even though its thrusters were on full blast it could not move forward. I started making weird gestures with both of my arms. It seemed to help with the mental calculations of manipulating the magnetic forces.

I pulled the drone towards me until it was right in front of me. “Poor drone you can’t move, can you?”

I began dismantling it limb by limb. I can do more I know it. I started manipulating the forces between the molecules and watched as the metal components of the suit melted into a flowing metal. Amazing. I’ve got to check this out when I have more time.

“Hey my hands are kind of occupied with this magnetic force. Is it safe for me to use nova blasts”?

[I am unsure of the resultant response of the reaction between the Nova force and your magnetic powers. If you wish to ‘blast’ something without your arms then concentrate the Nova energy on any other part of you body and fire away]

I can do that! Ok. Time for laser eyes. Peeeeeew peeeeeeeew. Nova energy shot out of my entire face and blasted the disfigured armour. Ok not exactly laser eyes but whatever I’ll work on it later.

[we should leave. our fight has been over 4 minutes. Judging from our location ironman should be here in 2 minutes]

Is that a bad thing? I can use this as an opportunity to introduce myself as a ‘hero’. All I have to to is warn them about Thanos. Right?

[Wow. I am proud. You are learning quick Richard Rider]

Call me Polaris or NOVA prime!

[…]

Oh, look who’s on his way. Ironman and war machine were flying towards me. The kinetic vision and zoom capabilities of these goggles are crazy. How far are they?

[far enough that you can see them and they can’t see you]

That’s not vague at all

[do you really care about the exact calculations and distances?]

Touché. I’m not the only one that is learning. Huh?

[I am just adjusting my interface to meld better with your abrasive attitude. A higher synchronicity between us can only make us stronger]

Nice bra. Nice. I’m bored let’s meet them halfway. I flew towards them and as soon as I was in shouting distance, I stopped flying and took on a neutral stance or is it hover? Whatever.

“Hello men of earth. I am the leader and Nova prime of the Nova Corps and ruler of the planet Xandar”

“Hey Rhodey do you believe this guy?” I instantly recognized the voice. It was Tony Stark. Who on earth hadn’t heard his voice?

“Not one bit Tony. This guy is shady as hell” I guess with all the mutants on earth its hard to believe that I’m an alien.

I knew if I was going to stick the role, I had to keep my cool and not get pulled into their pace

“The genocidal madman Thanos destroyed my world and defeated me and my Corps with ease. all because we were in possession of the power stone. I came to warn earth of its impending demise. There are rumours that earth has not one but 2 infinity stones. the time and mind stones. He has destroyed planets for less. I am here to give you a fighting chance”

Tony and War machine didn’t respond immediately. Maybe they were taking me seriously.

“what do these stones look like?” Tony didn’t sound amused anymore.

What do the stones look like?

[I am not sure of the shapes but I know the colours. the time stone is green and the mind stone is yellow. I can also show you the size of our power stone]

“I am not sure of the shapes but I know of the colours. the time stone is green and the mind stone is yellow. Our power stone was about this big” I made a gesture to show the size of the stone with my thumb and index finger.

“Who told this Thanos about earth. Was it you?” Tony seemed angry. He even took on an aggressive posture as if he was getting ready to fight.

“I am the Nova prime of the Nova corps we are in charge of upholding peace and justice in the universe!” who does this guy think he’s talking to?

“You still haven’t answered my question”

[Fool. Enough with the dramatic acting. just answer]

“Sorry I allowed anger to take a hold of me. It was an Asgardian called Loki”

“Of course it was. This is why I said earth should hold him but nooo Thor gets to take him to ‘Asgardian’ jail, probably house arrest!” Tony seemed livid. Maybe Loki was a sore spot for him.

“Tony we can’t believe everything this weirdo says. Some of it might check out but how many people know of the stone. He could even be hydra. Nova prime come with us and I’m sure we can talk this out.” War machine reasoned with Tony.

Shit this guy is way too suspicious. Time to get out of here. ” I must decline but worry not I will return for the fight with Thanos. Prepare for a battle for the universe is upon us. Thanos has only one goal in mind and that is to wipe out 50% of life from the universe” I quickly then flew up and out of the mesosphere into space.

Ironman and War machine were right on my heels. Looks like they don’t want to let me go. As soon as I was a safe distance from earth, I used the energy I had been accumulating secretly to propel myself forward at the speed of light. I wish I could see the look on Starks face right now. Wait now that I think about it, I can’t see anything. It’s all black.

[Of course. It is because you are moving to fast. Without me adjusting your movement you would have crashed by now. Ok we are far enough that they cannot track us all we have to do is enter stealth mode and re-enter earth]

Stealth mode?

[I just mask our presence to all electronic surveillance. We can still be physically seen.]

Why didn’t we mask ourselves when we first started flying?

[I wanted to test out your planet’s response.]

Oh, you are such a liar. You wanted me to meet ironman this was reverse psychology, right?

[You lied as well Polaris. You said you were royalty but when I searched your records it showed you were a normal civilian. Your father may be powerful but he is a wanted terrorist and not a King]

Ok ok. Take it easy. No need to go for the throat. Its just easier when I know the plan. I don’t like being manipulated.

[Noted]

Well since we are in space, I want to visit the moon. Earths moon to be specific.

[changing course to the moon]

In an instant I was in front of the moon. The silence of space and the beauty of the reflected light made it look so peaceful and serene.

I floated to the surface and dug my fingers into its course rock. Heh, one more thing to check of my bucket list.

[Lifeforms detected watch out!]

I looked up just in time to see a half man half goat kick me in my face with a giant hoof.
