Chapter 1 - Prologue

(Third Person POV)

[In a Pocket Dimension, Somewhere In America]

"How did you even find this place?" Psylocke asked Magik as they walked down a path that lead to a house on a hill, "There is so much.....psychic distortions..." 

They were in some sort of grassy field, the skies above them were nothing but a cosmic scenery. Magik, Psylock, and Angela were walking down a path that led to the hill, a large wooden house resided at the top. 

They had entered the pocket dimension by interacting with some wall at a random american city. Magik was the only one who knew of this and both Psylocke and Angela were rather surprised by this. The entrance of this dimension led them to what Magik knows was the safehouse of a certain individual, one that they were looking for.

Why were these three together? Two mutants and an Asgardian? Well, a certain conflict involving the Timeline Entanglement has created unusual teams. While everyone else was working a certain task, Magik volunteered to find a certain individual that would aid them in their troubles. Both Psylocke and Angela tagged along just to make sure that Magik would get it done, as there were dangers everywhere. 

"He told me of this place the last time we saw each other." Magik said as they walked up the hill, "He was going to spend most of his time here, so he said." 

"And when was the last time you saw him?" Angela asked her with a raised eyebrow

The Asgardian Goddess walked behind him, her hair flowing along the wind. 

"A couple of.....weeks ago." Magik said with a frown

Psylocke raised an eyebrow, "Oh?" She said, "You didn't mention this." 

"Well, nobody needed to know, okay?" Magik frowned, "We're here now." 

They reached the house, seeing that a young man was on the porch, sitting on a wooden rocking chair with his legs resting on the railings in front of him. He was wearing casual clothing; a pair of shorts and a t-shirt. 

"Hm...." the young man said as the three stopped at the base of the stairs, "To what do I owe the pleasure, Illyana and Sai...and...?" 

He had his eyes closed when speaking and as he opened them, he spotted Angela, who had her arms crossed. She was giving him a serious look, her eyes staring right at him. 

"Alaric...." Magik started, "We need your-" 

"Angela~~!" Alaric stood up and ran past them, getting on his knees and hugging the Asgardian's leg, rubbing his cheeks against her thick and muscular thighs, "I've missed you, girl. Why didn't you call, eh?" 

Psylocke and Magik looked at this, completely taken aback by this behavior. They didn't think that Angela, of all people, would cause this person to act like this. And they have been quite involved with Alaric. 

Angela simply looked down at him, "Hello, Alaric. It's been some time." She said, "You should hear what Magik has to say." 

This was Alaric, a young man who was reincarnated in this universe, obtaining immense power that allowed him to do anything. He decided on focus on a certain concept; to wield any and all weapons/armor/items in all Fromsoftware Games, including Elden Ring and Nightreign. He tunes the weapons to the level of Marvel, making him a very formidable individual that the heroes of this world rely on when they need to. 

And such times were now. 

Alaric looked at Magik, his grey eyes staring at her, "What is it, beautiful?" He asked with a slight smirk, "You want round 6?" 

"6?" Psylocke raised an eyebrow, "Illyana...." 

"That's not why we're here." Magik pointed her finger at Alaric, who had Angela pat his head, her fingers running through his dark blue hair, "Let go of Angela!" 

"Nah." Alaric smiled, "She doesn't mind." 

Magik sighed, "Well...." She said, "Listen....there is an issue on Krakoa and-" 

"I know." Alaric said, "I know all about Ultron and his attempt to take over Krakoa. What do you want?" 

"He has grown quite powerful." Psylocke explained, "Obtaining the Infinity Stones and infusing himself with them. He grows more powerful by the day, Alaric. We may need help on this battle....." 

"And you come to me." Alaric said, still hugging Angela's leg, "Interesting." 

"The battle is tougher than we'd expected." Angela told him, "Ultron is gaining more power and allies as we speak. And Asgard is also being affected." 

"And that is why you're here." Alaric said as he looked up at the beautiful view, "My beautiful Goddess, you came to personally ask me for help?" 

"Not necessarily." Angela said

"But you want my help, right?" He asked with a slight smirk, "Eh?" 

"I do." She said, "You are a mighty warrior than can vanquish our enemies should you decide to help." 

"Well....." Alaric said, "I've been chilling by myself for a while....I'd hate to even disrupt the quiet I have obtained.....and since you came to this safehouse, risking my exposure, I'd have to move to another one...so.....hmmm....." 

"Alaric, please." Magik said with a frown, "We wouldn't come to ask for your help if we weren't desperate." 

"Ultron, hm? Is he as strong as the Doom I fought?" Alaric asked

"Yes." Psylocke nodded, "It is that serious." 

"Ah man...." Alaric said, "It's going to be a pain to fight him, should I stick with my current limitations." 

"Then break them and crush him!!" Magik exclaimed

"Such a thing won't be free." Alaric told her, "You know that. I am not your Deus Ex Machina, Illyana.....I love helping you out, but you all always come to me when you need me. You treat me as a thing sometimes." 

"That is not true." Psylocke said, "But the fate of the world comes first sometimes, Alaric." 

"Hm...." Alaric frowned, "That mentality keeps you from joining me in bed, Sai....my dear.....such a shame....." 

"It's the truth." She told him, "I am sorry about that. I really am...." 

"I'll help you." Alaric said, "But you know what that means." 

"Alaric, this is no time for-" Magik started before being cut off by Angela

"I'll do it." Angela said

Everyone looked at her, including Alaric. 

"You will?" Psylocke asked, "I thought that you were....." 

"I fancy both women and men. Moreso women, but when it comes to men, I don't like many." Angela said as she ruffled his hair

"Ahh, my sweet goddess...." Alaric smiled, "So perfect....." 

"So you'd do it?" Magik asked him

Alaric nodded, "If you two want to join-" 

"Not the time for this." Psylocke said

"Then leave me and my Goddess be..." Alaric said as he stood up, wrapping his arm around Angela's waist, "She will take this sacrifice...." 

"For the world."
