I was woken by being tossed naked from the pod of goo I had been sent to the moon in. I woke up on top of a naked girl and winced. As I slowly removed my hand from her chest she moaned. Trying to get up without waking her up was hard as my head felt like it was on fire. Getting up I noticed my property on the side of the tub of goo All my wordly possessions a single bank card. I looked at the naked girl and the two figures that were hosing me down. One of them gave me a thumbs up. Then he got down to business “How are you awake? The goo should have knocked you out.”
Given I was on a lot of kill lists I looked around for any threat before looking at the two technicians and at the row of beds nearby. I stared at the naked women “Who is she? Wake her up please.” The technicians looked at me in shock “Dude that is impossible the nanites in the goo should have you barely able to walk. ”
I starred at the technician “Who is she? and get me a scanner. I need to know what my new power level is” One of the technicians got me scanner the other fatter one starred at him “Dude he is not our boss.” “Dude he woke up even with the nanites on him. That means he is a super and a high level one I like my legs attached to my body.”
I checked the changes in my body
Physical level C+ potential (B - A)
Powers Active
Control of nanites level S+
Drain energy level ?? developing ???
Had changed to
Physical level C potential C+
Powers Active
Control of nanites level A- Potential (S++)
Drain energy level ??
?????
It looked like I had dropped a lot in physical potential. My control over nanites would take a long time to return. But I kept drain energy level. It would take me months rather than weeks to learn how to use it. Plus there was a chance I had lost out on a amazing skill. It was always possible the skill would have further evolved which was now impossible. But I was still alive and my all important control of nanites now had a potential of S++.
I stared at the naked lady who was being hosed down and then at the technicians. “Does she have a id at least?” The fat technicians passed me her id and I realised she was fleeing the Reich. I looked down at someone who might try and kill me for passing on my experience. I pulled her family name open and glared at her. She was not her father but he had killed millions.
I decided not to spit on the naked woman so I just turned to the technicians to check my situation. “Can I buy a moon cart and a space suit? I have places to be.” The technicians looked upset more than likely they would have messed with the female so I decided to remind them of the changes that had just occurred “This facility is now owned by the fourth Reich. ” I looked at the fainted woman and stole her bank cards. I did not want to kill her but the amount of credits her father had stolen was in the billions range. At the very least I had to stop her using her father ill gotten gains to hurt other people. The technicians decided to talk
The fat technician spoke “We are right next to a main city you just have to exit the clinic.” I looked at him “I need clothes. Also where are my loose credits?” The fat man turned out his pockets and I stole his wallet. He looked like he wanted to make a issue of it but I was a super and he was not. I was whistling as I exited the building today was a new day and I was glad to be alive. Outside a lot of scared and crying people were looking at a blank screen. Learning from ones mistakes is important so I headed to a crying woman and asked her friend what had happened.
“She ripped his head off the new super killed indestructible. They say the new leader or the fourth Reich is going to be Hans. There purging the old Nazi's and have renamed themselves the collective.” I looked up as the screen switched on again and I saw a reporter standing over the corpse of a super who had been ripped apart. “We are here standing over the corpse of indestructible who was killed by the latest super to emerge from what was known as the fourth Reich. I will replay the highlights of the battle that began when indestructible and several other well known hero's launched a assault against the newest supervillain Silver.”

The image on the screen slowed down so show a blur hit a Nazi tank and the foot of a black war machine before approaching a tent. The blur went into the tent and was thrown out of the top of the tent missing a arm. When the figure landed it was missing its head which was in the hands of the little girl I had given my stolen strength to. Silver was holding the super known as indestructible head in her hands. She looked at the camera and then I saw off in the distance the giant tornado that she had summoned down.
The reporter re appeared on the screen “That occurred last night. The new super Silver instantly killed indestructible ranked number 7 in the list of most powerful superheroes in the world. Silver then launched a attack against the mercenary army sent to stop the Fourth Reich advance. She alone slaughtered them with a wave of her hand. 565 Tanks 156 War robots and at least 50 super's class A and above. Reports are still coming in of her rampage. The world is watching the coming of the newest most powerful super in existence. ” Around me several people were cheering but most were scared.
Heading away quickly before my name popped up on the news. I found a taxi a super who used telekinesis to lift passengers. He was the cheapest taxi because he was not officially bonded. Needing to be gone before anyone came to rip my head off. I pulled out all my credits I tossed him a credit chip and asked him to bring me somewhere I could buy a vehicle. A older girl chipped it “I am a teleporter.” I shook my head “I was just infused with nanites a teleport is not a good idea. Is there someone who can point to a cheap place to barter for a transport also is there a crimson clan outpost nearby?” The older girl spat “There all supervillains I heard they lynched the the ex American president and his whole family.”
I nodded thinking back to the idiot who thought it was a good idea to pardon a bunch of supers turned terrorist his last day on the job. I guess the three million credits they found in his bank account made it worth it to him. Still what they did with the lamp was just cruel. I looked at the girl “I just want a ride and access to a secure communicator if possible. Can you teleport and get me a communicator?”
The girl shook her head “ A secure communication device is impossible. The crimson clan has a enclave two kilometres that way. The gravity does not work in the tunnels so your going to be lighter. Tom has a fairly decent lifter power. ” I looked at the girl in interest she had not tried to sell me a fault communicator and that was rare.“Are you a super hero trainee?” “No all the super heroes headed back to earth. After Captain Alpha Ultimate was sent back to earth they all left. They were needed to put out the fires in new york. Plus there were riots over the anniversary of the president selling the statue of liberty.”
I paid the boy Tom most of my credits. “Bring me to the Crimson Clan.” We zoomed past piles of old machines that had been picked apart and soon arrived at a large tunnel that had been tunnel into a farm. There were lights everywhere and rice growing in water. I recognised the manager Bobby who looking a lot more run down than usual. He looked at me “You know that the French owned parts of the moon are going to be a lot more chaotic than usual. I have had to force grown a lot of cheaper crops for when the fall happens.”
Looking around at Bobby and his weary helpers. I decided to check local conditions “So everyone is getting ready for the Hans big push is a few months” Bobby nodded “Yes once Silver comes into her full strength there is going to be a shake up. Plus it will take them a couple of years to develop a method to block that freaky ability to control nanites you passes to her. Then there's the fact she more than likely received at least an A ranked skill from the indestructible or maybe 2 or 3 skills . Now leave me alone this farm is new and you have caused me enough problems. Candy will bring you to meet Hank”
Candy was literally a bimbo wearing a bikini. I looked at her as approached she winked at me “A girls got to eat and Bobby literally grows food. ” Being brought to a secret or at least hidden tunnel we headed out on what looked like a old golf cart that had weapons attached to it. A robot on the back had some kind of giant ray gun and a couple of rockets attached to it. I was really worried about a super attack as a decent Super could shrug off a missile.
I starred at Candy who had a space suit made of what looked like see threw plastic. Bobby traded me the suit I had stolen from the spaceport with a older power suit. The power suit had a built in computer AI as well as a nice targeting system. Bobby had also given me a old energy rifle. Candy smirked “That's a older model I bet the armour on my suit could half block that weapon” “I can control nanites which can travel up the energy beam this weapon fires and dissolve matter”
Candy grinned “So dissolve that rock over there” I fired a beam at the rock which turned to dust. Cady cursed “Holy shit that's epic so can you do anything else with the weapon?” I looked off into the distance “My ability allows for the control of nanites. If we were up against supers I might be able to adjust the beam so that I could try and take control of the enemies nanites. Quick question what is with the space suit is it to distract people?”
Candy grinned “I have a super power that allows me to know if someone is staring at me with lust or strong emotion. Nerds sitting at a screen all day get real excited when I show up the females get jealous. So so you know Hank well?” I looked up at the earth and decided not to tell Candy anything. She looked great but that was not a reason to tell her anything.
I dozed off as we speed along the surface. Candy woke up after a few hours and pointed at a couple of old war machines “They collect toils you could blast them with your ray gun save us some credits. There is no one in them there being controlled remotely” I shook my head “There wrapped in a couple of inches of some kind of protective gear. Its fine if that's military grade armour. But its some cheap metal or carbon just put up there they will shrug off my attacks.”
The robots approached one of them had a sign up which changed from pay 10 credits per person or face the consequences to dude your famous. There talking about you all over the news. There saying you were the one who saved all the people during the food wars. A bunch of big wigs want to meet your its all over the news. Candy stared at me “What the fuck is going on?” “Best guess is that Silver ripped off someone else's head. ” I looked at the robots “How about you give me a couple of hours to head to the crimson clan before posting our meeting on line and I give you something to post on line?”
The robots board lit up as a large yes appeared. I looked at the robot “Bear in mind I am vindictive son of a bitch and will nail you to a tree or the equivalent if you sell me out sooner. And when I say nail you to a tree I mean I will find you and nail you something and leave you to bleed out.”
I looked at the robots who somehow looked nervous “Ok as you know the American's real problems began when they lost the wheat that used be produced in the corn belt. Then one day bam the temperature rose and suddenly the genetically enhanced crops all died. I have proof that M Corporation at that time was bribing the current secretary of state of America and the current Vice president of America. As everyone seems to be after me I will pass the information on to you. ”
The robots sign flashed no way those corrupt politicians are the worst. Hard cash only or else.
