Meta Essence Gacha in Marvel
Chapter 121: Visitors Across Space and Time

Third Person P.O.V.

New York

"Pheromones?!" Spider-Man asks, baffled. Keeping his distance from Cindy like she is radioactive. "That's…"

"...Gross." Cindy completes.

"I was about to say very weird, but that too." Peter says, trying not to look at the female spider. Embarrassment keeps hitting him every time he looks at her.

"Not that weird." Eidolon that stays in the middle, keeping attention on the two, like they are gonna start mating at any moment. "It's pretty common for people with similar powers, and funny enough, opposite powers, to attract each other." He comments, remembering Cloak and Dagger. "But your situation goes beyond simply a psychological factor; you two are literally bio-wired to be attracted to each other."

"Still revolting." Cindy says

"I can understand your distaste, I just don't want any of you to hold this fact against each other." He turns to her "As much social convention would make us, at first glance, think you as being the one who is taken advantage of, because you are a woman, Spider-Man there is in a very happy relationship and he doesn't want this more than you."

"..."

Like on cue, Spider-Man crouches down with his head on his hands "Oh man… Almost! Dang! I will need to tell her… Arrgh, that will not be a fun talk! Thanks, Eidolon." He is cringing so much that he is almost turning into a ball before thanking the black-clad hero for stopping him from committing a big mistake..

"It's okay. Good thing that you want to be transparent, communication is the key. You did nothing wrong." Eidolon replies

"It's that always gonna happen when we meet someone with spider powers?" Cindy asks

"No, relax. You two apparently are bitten by the same spider and are of the opposite genders and… Ahem are in the fertile adult phase." he explains. "Those are the conditions, apparently."

"....."

"What? Imagine if a 10-year-old spider-boy appears…" He shrugs while answering Cindy's glare.

"Okay! Stop! UGH!" Cindy looks like she is gonna puke. "Good to know at least…"

While she is talking, Eidolon looks in a certain direction, distracted.

"Eh, Eidolon?" Spider-Man tries to call him

"So that is why there are four portals…" He says absent-mindedly, "Wait here, a test subject just appeared. Great timing…" And he disappears in a blur.

A second later he returns, dropping someone unceremoniously

"What in the actual- Wait, Eidolon? Spider-Man? Another one?" Eidolon brought Jessica Drew, in a red tight spider-costume, and after the initial surprise, turns her gaze to everyone around her.

"Now there are two… Things are getting out of hand." Peter comments

"So, any strange feelings for her?" Eidolon asks him

"Eeeeh… I'm afraid of getting closer."

"Go on, I will save your relationship. I'm super fast." Eidolon assures him.

"Okay then…" Then like he is walking to diffuse a bomb, Peter slowly approaches Jessica.

"..." Spider-Woman looks at the situation with raised eyebrows "Okay, will anyone tell me what is happening? If this is some sort of heroic initiation ritual. I'm out."

Awkwardly, Spider-Man finally gets close to Spider-Woman and puts a hand on her shoulder.

"...…."

"Good, you can back down before she files a restraining order." Eidolon says

"Oh yeah, sorry!" Peter apologizes while removing his hands from Jessica

Eidolon steps in to explain "You must be confused. Just making some tests that are pertinent to you, too. Seeing as you are also a Spider-Person and all that"

"Spider-Person? Is that a real term?" Cindy asks

"It has been since more than a Spider-Man exists… There are a lot of spiders in Oscorp, so…" He left the rest unsaid, but all three can understand his words. "And we are not even talking about the Multiverse yet."

"The what?"

"Anyway, before continuing our little talk, what are your names…" Eidolon says, like he doesn't know their names "Hero names in this case."

"Well, I guess Spider-Woman is good enough." Jessica says nonchalantly

"...Silk." Cindy says after some hesitation, as if she is afraid of being made fun of by her choice of a name.

"Silk? That is cool. I should have thought of a better one instead of the female version of the neighborhood hero." Jessica says "Maybe there's time to change."

"No, there's not." Eidolon interrupts "So, Spider-Man and Woman, and Silk… You three have been bitten by radioactive spiders and didn't die. Congratulations on passing the first hurdle." He nods. "But there are a lot of problems ahead. Example: This strange attraction between Silk and Spider-Man." His words make the two groan

"The what?" Jessica looks amused at their expense.

"Spider-Woman and Silk, it will be for the best if you two go through some exams and tests to check your bodies. I can help with that because of the dangers of going to a normal hospital."

"Tests?" The two female spiders look a little uncomfortable

"I understand that you two can have some misgivings, but please remember who I am. I would never do anything to hurt you. If it makes you two feel better… I, myself, have the Spider-Powerset too…"

At that moment, all three felt a tingling sensation in the back of their head. Looking back, Peter and Cindy felt something similar when Jessica appeared, but the strange situation made them ignore that. But now it's obvious.

It's like they connect with a group call for an instant, they are suddenly extremely aware of each other.

"Something like that…" Eidolon says before stopping and hiding his presence "I'm a specialist. You can trust me with anything meta-power related."

"I think Red Hood offered something similar. How is he?" Cindy asks

"Who is Red Hood? I'm really out of the loop in this conversation…" Jessica comments while looking around

"One of my people. Not famous because he deals with underground stuff. A little happy trigger murder hobo, but a good guy if you never killed anyone." Eidolon says to her before turning to Cindy "He is on another continent, I can only say that. And his offer is the protocol of the SCP."

"So you always offer help to everyone with powers?" Jessica asks

"..." Eidolon looks at her with a raised eyebrow, opens his arms like saying 'Duh, look again how I am.'

"Okay, sorry. Stupid question to ask."

"Having powers, even if you want to live a normal life, can be challenging. From the troubles of having an extra, and possibly uncontrollable and detrimental ability, to you landing on the aim of a lot of villains… I do what I can to make the metas' lives a little easier." Eidolon explains "By the way, you two are leaving your hair in the open. It's okay for the style choice, but you can be cloned… I'm gonna give you some Magnetic Hairpins. All the women of the SCP use it to hold the hair together in a forcefield; it looks completely natural and prevents hair loss and obstruction." He raises his hand from beneath the mantle, holding two small black hairpins.

"Clones??"

"Yes." He says simply while still holding the hairpins in his palm.

"Now this is handy." Jessica comments while taking one

"Just put it as close as possible to the scalp, you can hide it pretty easily." Eidolon instructs

They fiddle with it for a little while, and Eidolon does the courtesy of materializing two mirrors in the air for the girls. After putting it in, Jessica even shook her head to test, and her hair ended perfectly in place after she stopped.

"If you commercialize it, you would become a billionaire." She says

"Then I would get poorer?" Eidolon scoffs "Anyway, we are in a period of transition where humans get powers, some not so ready. So you two need to check for the long-term consequences. I don't want to scare you, but you can develop cancer for example."

"Cancer?!"

"Just saying a possibility. I had this talk with Spider-Man here before." He points at the red-blue hero with his thumb "You may have developed new allergies and other changes. Wouldn't you like to know it earlier than discover it by yourself in a not-so-good situation?"

"You have a point." Jessica finally concedes "Where can we do those tests?"

Eidolon pulls a card "Find this address in Meta Town and tell anyone there that you know me while giving this card. You can go full costume and at any time, but be prepared to spend some hours, clear your schedule."

"Same place from where I was kept?" Cindy asks while taking a card too "Did you do tests on me while I was unconscious?" She asks suspicious

"Just non-invasive scanners to check if you are not dying at that exact moment." Eidolon shrugs

"I was bitten by the same spider as him. Wouldn't we have the same… things?" Cindy asked while pointing at Peter.

"Powers vary from person to person even when they are the same… Example: You apparently can make your own web."

"You can? That's cool!" Peter finally seems to forget that he is in trouble with his girlfriend for a moment.

"You can't?" Cindy asks, confused. She thought it was a normal thing.

"Wait, I can't do it either. Am I abnormal?" Jessica asks

"Like I said, variations. I will give you a web-shooter later too." Eidolon says

He then gives a small talk about the heroic life if they really want to enter it, saying that there's nothing wrong with not doing so, even if it goes against the "with great power comes great responsibility" belief of all spider-people.

"What do we have here?~ Some sort of secret hero reunion?" A female voice says from a little above them.

"Hello, Black Cat." Eidolon greets without even looking at her, the other three looking up to see the cat burglar sitting on the top of the entrance to the rooftop.

Showing off her athletic abilities, she does an arm stand before throwing herself at the black-clad hero, who, even without looking, sidesteps the flying double kick.

Black Cat looks like she is up for a very rough fall before she stops in the air and slowly floats to an upright position.

"Can you stop with those dangerous stunts?" Eidolon asks in a deadpan tone.

"Why? When you are around is the best moment to do those things and play the damsel in distress. Look!" She says, and that is the only warning she gives before doing a backflip to the edge of the building and falling.

"...."

"Eeeh… The mood was strange, so I hesitated to jump to save her…" Peter says in an awkward tone "You are gonna save her, right?' He turns to Eidolon.

He sighs "Yes… In a moment…" He massages his forehead while sighing "Maybe I should throw her in jail…"

Despite looking annoyed, he still saves her by opening a portal on his side. Black Cat emerges, falling horizontally. The change in gravity made that she lose momentum and then simply stabilize herself after some unsteady steps. A sharp eye would see how good Eidolon control is.

It must not be easy to open a portal in a falling individual and calculate the dispersion of force without interfering with it directly.

"Hehe~ That was fun~ I was scared for a moment, thinking that I finally annoyed you enough to let me fall to my death." Black cat smiles widely and reaches for Eidolon, putting her elbow on his shoulder while leaning on him.

"I was tempted." He answers with a tired tone "But stupidity is not a crime." The roast makes her laugh

"Hm, so it's true? Are you guys really a thing?" Jessica asks curiously while pointing at Eidolon and Black Cat, so close together.

The duo looks at her and answers together, "Yes!" "No…"

"Oh, c'mon babe~ Are you gonna deny our love?" Black Cat pouts while making doe eyes at him

"What love? Our relationship is based on annoyance." Eidolon scoffs "I annoy you by frustrating your robberies. You annoy me by being you…"

"Don't call it robbery."

"It is what it is…"

"..." The trio of spiders watches the interaction and can pretty easily guess what kind of relationship they have. It can be resumed in one sentence.

"Get a room already…" And Cindy says the sentence that everyone was thinking.

Eidolon turns to the asian girl "Look who is talking, 'Miss It Was Not Me, It Was The Pheromones'."

"Hey!"

"Okay, I just heard something really juicy and I want to know the whole story." Black Cat suddenly says while smiling widely, trying to put the pieces together.

Spider-Man's obviously embarrassed body language… Eidolon words to the asian spider woman… The other one looked amused too…

"Spidey! You dog!!" Her woman's intuition apparently made her a great detective in those silly things. "So you have this kind of power, huh? Should I worry?? Haha!" She laughs while teasing the red and blue hero.

The poor guy can only stutter and fail to explain himself.

"Be careful with the other spiders out there, I heard they eat their mates after the… You know?" She continues to tease the flustered hero with a big smile on his face.

"Okay, stop that." Eidolon uses some power to pull the thief to him. "Powers can have embarrassing side effects. Even I have some weird ones." He says to help

"Really? Like what?" Black Cat allows herself to be pulled, a little too much, because she falls into his torso without resistance. She asked that because she can't let go of the opportunity to gain some ammo to tease him.

He doesn't look bothered and shrugs while giving a serious answer "A lot really, from the problematic animalistic instincts to strange powers like getting stronger the more embarrassed I get, healing people by kissing them, and even empowering people by confessing my love."

"Pffft! Hahahaha! Love confession?" She laughs loudly "Oh wait, I just remembered Eidolon. I fell in my butt earlier can you kiss to make it better? Hahaha!"

"...I'm gonna leave you stranded in the middle of the North Pole." he threatens without any heat.

"You are not gonna do that. With those clothes, I would freeze to death, even with my cute and fluffy collar."

"The night is pretty chilly already, and you are not complaining." He rolls his eyes before asking in a more serious tone, "But are you cold? I have those heating pads here that you can use underneath your suit. It's as thin as a cloth. It converts kinetic energy into thermal energy, so you don't need to charge, only move. And it never gets too hot." He says and pulls some to give to her "I made them myself."

"..." The surprising bout of kindness leaves Black Cat a little gobsmacked, and she absentmindedly takes the heating pads.

"And stop doing those dangerous stunts, hoping that I will be there to save you. Some weeks ago, I was off the planet for some days. What would you do if something happened during that time?" And he pats her head while saying that softly

"...okay." He totally threw her off the loop with that.

Even Jessica and Cindy shook their head seeing that. 'Seriously, getting a room can't be that hard.'

Even Black Cat noticed that she had been played and acted like a middle school girl with a crush, so she needs to deflect

"Whatever, you still haven't told the full story." She turns to the easiest to bully… Spider-Man.

"!" His spider sense warned him "Look at the time, I need to get my glass of warm milk before going to bed!" He jumps and throws a web to escape

"Spidey, come back here!" Black Cat shouts

"Not even Eidolon can take this information out of me!!!" His shouts can be heard from a distance, echoing through the buildings.

"Yes, go back, Spider-Man. Save your love life." Eidolon nods in a joking tone, "I will hold back the sexy ladies that are a threat to your relationship." He says with his voice full of faux righteousness

The three laugh good-naturedly at the same time, obviously liking being called sexy by him. "Don't look back…"

"Oh my, what a heroic soul~" Black Cat says sarcastically while leaning on him

"Such sacrifice~" Even Spider-Woman rolls her eyes and says in a sultry tone

"Must be hard~" Silk says while feigning pity

"Ladies, ladies… It's okay. It's part of the job." Eidolon raises his arms in resignation. "Do whatever you want with my body, just leave Spider-Man out this." He says to more laughs before talking a little more seriously "Jokes aside, I hope to see you for the exams." He turns to the spider girls before turning to go.

"Already going? Those heating pads will not be enough…" Black cat starts in a flirtatious tone "Wouldn't a hero like you keep a poor lady warm in this chilly night?" She gets closer, sticking out her huge breasts at him, allowing him to get a great view of her milky flesh.

Ziiip "There. Problem solved." Eidolon closes her cleavage's zipper. "Bye. Stay safe out there." He waves at them before flying away

"Whattahell?! How did he do that?? The zipper didn't even go that far up!" Black Cat complains while wrestling with the zipper that now reaches her neck.

"Damn girl, he has you in a chokehold." Spider-Woman laughs while cocking her hip to the side

"Shut up." Felicia hisses

"Calm down, I'm cheering for you, really." Jessica raises her hands in a peace movement "Ah, I forgot to ask for a selfie with him and Spider-Man!" Jessica suddenly exclaims "Damn, but it's not like I have my phone… What? I like the two."

"Eidolon probably has a power to that. Just ask for it next time." Felicia says helpfully, despite the fact that she acted overly familiar with Eidolon exactly because of those two women.

It was not an accident; she was being a little territorial. Trying to show off that she had a good relationship with him.

"You two are really close, huh?" Silk comments. It seems it worked.

"I abuse his goodwill sometimes. Just call him if you are in trouble. He appears 95% of the time." Felicia says. She can't lie too much.

"So that is how you ended up getting all lovestruck with him? So romantically cliche~" Jessica says with mirth

"Hmpf, don't talk like he wouldn't be able to smooth-talk all three of us in afoursome." Felicia shoots back

"Well…"

"I'm out here." Silk jumps off the building.

......

Hector P.O.V.

Space Station

"Just saying, don't get your hopes up. She can be a completely different Pamela." I say to Harley while rolling the Poison Ivy card between my fingers "I'm still not sure if telling you immediately it was a good idea, but well… Transparency." I shrug

"And I'm very glad that you did." She caressed my cheek. "Don't worry, I'm not a fragile girlie. Even if it is not the Pam I know… I can just become her friend, too. One day, I'm sure I will meet my Pam, so it will be like two for the price of one."

"That positive outlook on life is exactly what I expected from you." I pat her head innocently before sliding my hand on her face till I grab her chin in a not-so-innocent way. "But let me warn you…" I start in a husky voice that makes her go completely still.

Whispering in her ear, I continue "You are mine. It doesn't matter which Pamela Isley I bring, the fact that you are mine will not change." I can feel her body tensing and her arousal. "I do not plan to give you back. Poison Ivy will need to get used to the idea that this…" I grab her ass roughly "...it's mine. She can maybe watch."

"Don't be a meanie, Panacotta dear." Harley says in a trembling voice "We can all share…"

"I don't share." I interrupt her "My appetite is too big, I want my Harley only for me. I could even eat you up right now. Maybe that is how I should summon her… The first thing she sees should see you pale assceeks bouncing on my cock. Or maybe I fucking you from behind… Your cumming face will pass the perfect message, she will understand to who you belong." At this point she is already dry humping me, nipples poking under her blouse and biting her lip.

"Again, don't be a meanie." She breathes sultrily, barely containing herself from pouncing on me. "If you think a Harley is good, imagine the whole package, huh? Don't you want to make a lesbian couple yours?"

Look at her playing in one of the most common male fantasies. Smart. The always manipulated is now manipulating; with her knowledge in human psychology, she can become really scary if she goes into that route.

"You know that I'm not a forceful guy… Poison Ivy is famous for hating men and using mind control. We will not get along." I scoff

"Pam will like you. You are her type." Harley says

"Am I?" Now I'm genuinely confused

"Yep, you are everyone's type." She assures me, "But Pam is a complicated girl who, despite being an eco-terrorist who hates men, yearns for something romantic. Only you can accept and deal with that without trying to change her." She says, while we are one millimeter away from ripping off our clothes and fucking right here and now.

"Sooo… A crazy chick?"

"Exactly! She is your type, too!"

"..." I'm not that bad… It's the Batman assimilation… Believe in me. I'm a completely normal guy that don't like crazy and dangerous women.

"Look at you overthinking something silly." She laughs. Never date your therapist, guys. She knows too much. "Just let me handle Pam. I can soften her up to you."

"You saying like that, it looks really evil."

"I was a villain." She shrugs "But no, I would never do anything to hurt Pam. I just don't want her to sabotage the good thing we can have." She then gets close and whispers to me conspiratorily, "She still has deep-rooted issues of self-esteem."

"Poison Ivy? Has self-esteem issues?" I ask in disbelief. Maybe this Harley is from an AU universe.

"Yep, because of how she was before becoming Poison Ivy. Now that she is hot, she thinks everyone is for her just because of her looks. Another reason why she doesn't trust men and thinks no one can love the real her."

"I think is because she chemically charmed everyone and never allowed any real relationship to naturally blossom." I deadpan "And because she is kind of a sociopath."

"That too. And that is why YOU! A guy immune to her powers has the chance of reaching her heart. That's how I got there, too. Well, it how started."

"I see…" I nod "I can give a chance to a 'start'... How it will develop is out of my hands."

"I know that you will conquer her." She says absolutely sure of herself. I don't know where her confidence came from, but she knows both Poison Ivy and me, so I can maybe trust her on that

"Okay then, if you have a plan." I concede "Just know that I will not hold back." I warn

"Anything different from that would be counter-productive. You can't be another doormat."

Whatever… Now, Gacha. Do your part. Bring her Poison Ivy. Help a guy here.

I sit on my chair, Harley on my lap, before finally summoning the famous green villain of Batman. I use a Background Customization Card…

Oh, PhD in Botany… Let's make her the same age as Harley, just young enough to make this PhD make sense while making her a genius.

"I can make that you two met at College." I comment while editing the backstory.

A certain accident is canon, just something small… Worked on Oscorp, Nah, internship is enough. Unemployed now, fresh out of College. Let's pull the gold to give her a good account balance, just enough to be comfortable.

"So that is how it works, huh?" Harley comments while watching the gold vanish.

"Yeah, I try not to abuse it… It's just a minor reality alteration, I don't want people with hyper-awareness getting suspicious." That is why I limit the interaction of my summons with other characters.

Everyone is an introvert like me.

"That should be good enough." I comment after finishing the preparations. Pretty standard stuff. I don't know if she will be like Harley and not care about her secret identity, but I will give her privacy for now. "Summon."

The usual routine happens, the card becoming a lot of motes of light, much more than one would expect from such a tiny card, enough to form the female silhouette of the summon. Her things must be in her new apartment.

As usual, she is beautiful, no surprise here. Her skin is green with a darker tone than Shego's, just a little. Her hair is red, wavy, and full. Her choice of attire is literally some plants clinging to her to make something akin to a one-piece swimsuit, but rustic and with missing parts here and there. Her body is curvy and proportional, with full breasts and a thick ass, the whole package.

Mama said not to judge a book by its cover, but Poison Ivy really doesn't hide anything with her look. She uses her sex appeal and has plant-based powers; anyone who looks at her for one second would be able to deduce that. Great character design, straight to the point.

When she appeared, she looked around haughtily, like she was searching for the person who owed her something. It does not take long for her to spot me and Harley. Seriously, I normally summon people while I'm in front of them, and the whole room is empty. Why do they look around before simply looking forward? It must be the big window with a view of Earth.

Her eyes are sharp, not angry, just unfriendly before she spots us… And then it changes. It immediately widens in surprise and softens.

"Harley?"

"Pammy!" Harley jumps from my lap and goes to hug the green woman.

What we just talked about, this being a different Poison Ivy again and all?

"It's really you?" Poison Ivy asks while grabbing Harley's hands with a flaggerblasted face

"I'm the one who should ask that. Are you my Pammy?" Oh good, she didn't forget "Red? My sweetpea? Daffodil?" Okay… Maybe Panacotta is not that bad of a nickname…

"Okay, stop with the nicknames… And yes, it's me. Who do you think I am? Another sexy green woman with red hair?"

"You would be surprised… Do you remember what you did with Toyman when he asked you to create trees for him so that he could have a steady supply of wood for his dolls?"

"I strip him naked and puppeteer him around with my vines…" She answers casually

Damn…

"And that whole Kiteman spectacle?" Harley asks with a challenged eyebrow

"Okay, stop bringing that up… I'm not proud of that, and it was a low point of my life." Ivy huffs in annoyance. And I can feel a little shame and guilty, too.

It seems that is all she needs to know because Harley turns to me and gives me a thumbs-up. Okay, thanks Gacha, you are a bro.

It seems I really have some small "control" - it's not the right word - over the Essence. It at least genuinely tries to help me. I don't think it's alive, but it must feel what is best for me. That's why it brings the version of the characters with the most compatible personalities. And in "Bad Ends", so that they can accept their new reality more easily.

Harley turned to me to give me a thumbs-up, attracting the attention of Poison Ivy to my existence, who immediately adopted her unfriendly frown again. Hmpf, I will not get scared away by a bitch's glare.

She is smarter than she looks, immediately figuring out something with the clues she had… The power that brought her here, Harley already here… My presence…

She grabs Harley's face to make her stop looking at me and look directly at her. Heh, already the possessive games?

"Harley, you stupid… Why did you go back?" She asks with a voice full of emotion

"Ah…" Harley doesn't have a satisfactory answer.

"Playing the doofus hero? Heroes die, you idiot!"

Harley told me the tale of her death. She said that she was kinda dumb, going back and forth between Ivy and the Joker… Getting better as a person and all that. Trying to tie up some loose ends with her past. She died making a meaningless sacrifice… The Joker can't be reformed that easily.

I consoled her, saying that her intention is what matters, and she should be proud of what she did, even if it didn't achieve the desired result.

"Ah Pammy… I needed to do that… If not, I would regret not trying…" Harley says weakly

"Really a doofus…" Ivy says softly, still holding Harley's face between her hands

Oh my, what a beautiful Yuri moment. So emotional~ I can feel their love purifying me…

Too bad I don't like Yuri. Yoink!

"Excuse me, can you take your hands off my Harley Quinn?" I pull my girl from the woman trying to netorare my netorare on her. The audacity…

"Excuse me! Who the fuck are you??" Now her gaze went from unfriendly to outright murder. If she were Kryptonian, I would be fried now.

"It's polite to say your name before asking for someone else…" I use an infuriatingly calm voice, like I'm schooling her, not engaging in her anger "But it's okay… I'm Hector, by the way. The reason you are still alive, the reason you can reunite with Harley… and her boyfriend." To accentuate my words, I hug Harley from behind and kiss her neck.

She shivers under my touch, but in arousal, anyone can see that. "Panacotta… not in front of Pam…" She whines weakly, and our little voyeur has the reaction I expected.

Poison Ivy's eyes widen, her nostrils flare, her jaw drops… Oh, so it's real plants around her. They are moving erratically now. Oh, there are some in her hair too! She is going Super Saiyan.

"Pam! Don't try anything!" Harley raises her arms in front of her ex-girlfriend.

"Step aside, Harley. First, I'm gonna kill him and then we will have a not-so-civilized talk." She growls

"Pammy, please. Don't start… He…" Harley holds back because saying that she can't win against me would just put wood in the fire.

Should I become a mature person now? Nah. "Yeah, listen to your ex…"

The response is immediate. In truth, I'm not provoking her for nothing.

First, a show of strength is a good deterrent to bring people to the negotiating table. Worked with everyone till now.

Second, I want to see her abilities.

And third, I can judge her intentions… Will she really try to kill me over this? The place where she aims it will be a good answer…

"..." Well, it's my crotch and other non-vital parts. What did I expect?

The vines around her grow more than I expected and advance to stab me. She is not trying to kill me, but she is not trying to restrain me either. She wants to hurt me…

Reasonable crash out by being netorared. I would do worse… I mean, if a girl really betrays me, I would just walk away. Thanks for taking the cheating hoe out of my hands, bro. But like what happened with Shego in the Mojoworld, if someone uses their power to do something to my girls… Ohoho~

I guess that is what Poison Ivy thinks I did. Or that I manipulated Harley like the Joker, maybe…

Anyway, back to the attack that is inching closer and closer to me while I am speed thinking… I will just create a barrier. No need to hurt her plants and worsen the situation. I promised Harley to play nice, after all.

Some things can be fixed later on, but hurting her plants should be a bigger problem… I know how to read the room.

Whoosh But in the end, I don't need to do anything because Harley protects me.

"Harley?" Ivy's face of betrayal is even worse than when I kissed Harley's neck.

"Pamela Isley! Calm down, girl! And listen to me!!" Harley looks angry while holding the vines she caught easily between her hands. Only looks, I can see that she is not really angry. "The story is much more complicated than whatever you figured out in these 2 minutes!"

"Didn't he bring you here by saving your life and then manipulate you into being his subservient girl?" Posio Ivy asks

"Okay, that is pretty much it." Harley admits

With another roar, Ivy goes to attack me again, the vines struggling on Harley's grasp, but she is much stronger than the chlorokinetic meta remembers.

"Pam! Pam… Pammy~" Harley advances slowly at Poison Ivy and grabs her raised hands, stopping her from commanding her plants. "There's more to the story…" She says softly "Panacotta Dear is great! He is not like the Joker, far from it. I'm healthy, have my job back while still being a kicking ass clown… No past to hold me down. I was able to start anew and slowly build a better life than the one that my bad choices created for me… I'm happy."

"..." Poison Ivy stares at Harley in disbelief, eyes trembling while looking at every inch of her former lover's face, seeking any sign of something… maybe deception, abuse, or whatever.

She finds nothing. I can see the moment where it hit her, her face coming down in some sort of strange and complicated relief, her shoulders sagging.

"He treats me right and is good to me… And he can be good to you." Harley finally attacks. Showing her fangs in the sweetest voice possible.

"What?" Once again, disbelief appears in Ivy's green complexion

I just sit back and watch whatever Harley is cooking. She is being very direct, I like that.

"Pammy~ We can be together, with him! And don't lie and say that you don't like men. We know that we are both bi." Harley says, interrupting whatever Poison Ivy was gonna to say.

Now she is whispering, but I can still hear, but Poison Ivy doesn't know that…

"Are you crazy?" That is why she whispers back "Him? That manlet that still reeks of his mother's breastmilk?!" Hey!

"Oh Pam ~ He is a man alright~ I'm sure of it." Thank you for defending my honor.

"You cradle robber!"

"Shut up, you are also a cougar! You like younger men, remember? Cute and waiting to be corrupted by your green touch?" Harley whispers back aggressively. Interesting piece of lore "And look at him! Does that thing look like a kid?" Thing? Harley… Should I flex my pecs now? No, time to play cool… Act like you are in an edit, Hector.

Poison Ivy steals glances at me while I ignore her to read some reports.

"Okay, he is cute. I admit." She confess "But what is your big plan? A throuple?"

"Eh, more than that… But let's focus on the now." Harley's words make Ivy narrow her eyes, but she doesn't press the issue "Pam, we are not bound by moral or law. Forget about any weirdness for now. Panacotta there is everything you want in a man and more." She is gonna make me blush~ Stahp! Hihi~

"Panacotta?" Ivy raises an eyebrow

"Yep. White, sweet, fluffy with a dark topping."

"Better than pudding, I guess." Finally, we agree on something, Pamela.

"He said the same thing!" Harley laughs in a low voice before continuing her conspiratory whispering "Seriously, Pam. He is great… I know that you two can get along; he can accept all of you." She takes her phone. "Look here. He is a hero in this world… Look at him saving the planet the way you like: cleaning rivers, reforesting… He does more than save cats from trees and beat criminals. He wants to make a better world."

"..." I think that is the point Pamela at least started hearing Harley a little seriously. Before, she was looking at Harley like a mother humoring her little daughter ranting about a fictional crush.

"He put up with my craziness without trying to change it. He is not controlling me as much, I'm taking advantage of him… I know that it sounds weird and too sudden, but give it a chance… for me?" Oh, there you go. Harley Quinn uses Puppy Eyes!

That is a strong attack, even with my passive "Gender Equality +99" is hard to resist that manipulation. How will Ivy fare against it?

"~~~" Yep, not so well… She is weak as fuck against that, like me. I can see the brief struggle, the loss, and the moment she decides to do whatever Harley wants. I bet that is not the first time something like this happened.

Another thing we have in common, Pam. I also like to spoil Harley.

"Ugh…" The green woman gives me another look. This time, she is not subtle, so we make eye contact…

Eh… Should I do something?

I decide to simply wave at her while changing my hand with my Plant-Pant Fruit in a little show of "We are the same, you and I". Not as subtle, but the message is clear.

"...fine." I hear Pamela finally whispering back at Harley and the clown woman vibrating with glee. Seeing her so childishly excited like that softens both mine and Pamela's gaze.

Haah Okay, I will try to really conquer Poison Ivy and make this work. Oh, I also received AOE damage from the Puppy Eyes…

"Yes! Give it a chance to know him! Take it slowly… You are gonna love him." Harley says

"No, I will not let him try to manipulate you like he manipulated you… I'm taking matters into my own hands. On my way." Ivy ignores Harley's advice and walks past her to reach me.

"You are getting too cozy with my girl." I answer her combative stance with a challenge of my own, still sitting relaxedly in my chair, cheek supported by a fist.

"She is my girl."

"Past tense, please… I'm not a grammar nazi, but that mistake is too big to let it pass."

Despite my words, she smiles sultrily at me and puts a knee on my thigh "?"

"Harley said many good things about you…" She whispers while putting her hands in my torso "She didn't lie about your hot body." She praises me with a flirtatious smile "Now I'm curious to discover what else she didn't lie~" The switch up is crazy.

"..." Red lips incoming… My hand is already moving to put a finger between us.

Oh, she is gonna try to use her pheromones on me… Or maybe even her toxin. Or to incapacitate me or to make me look like a fool in front of Harley. To expose me as the thing she believes I am, and that Harley is blind to see.

That is not gonna work…

"!!" While Poison Ivy approached me for the kiss that I was about to stop, I caught a glimpse of Harley over her shoulder.

She is showing the biggest shit-eating grin that I have ever seen on her face while looking at what is about to happen… Pffft. I see, your scheming bitch~ So that is your game, huh?

Okay, I will play along and give her the same treatment I gave you. If you think it's gonna be effective…

Poison Ivy's lips finally touched mine, and I didn't stop it. Time to turn the tables on this arrogant woman who thinks she can look down on men.

"Instant Loss" 2-koma Tag incoming.

...…

Third Person P.O.V.

While Hector has a howling Poison Ivy in a mating press, something interesting is happening in a Hydra base.

Something that would make even hector surprised and go full alert.

Agent Cole is the Hydra operative rescued by Hector as Lord Drakkon as a test. From the thousands of Marvel characters, Hector is obviously unaware of most of them, and Agent Cole is one of them.

He obviously kept an eye on him, but he doesn't know why he is so important… if he knew, he would have snapped the man's neck in their first meeting.

Despite his common appearance and presence, Agent Cole has a genius-level intellect and is making breakthroughs in a very important type of research… Time Travel.

His research, Project Bactrack, receives special attention from the higher-ups of Hydra. Despite looking like a distant dream, if he is able to do it, they will be able to rewrite history!

Make that Captain America never frustrated the Red Skull's plans. Steal important technology and information lost in history. And even make that certain people were never born.

It doesn't matter how strong Eidolon is now; they could still smother him in his cradle.

Hector dislikes time travel, and if he knew everything about Agent Cole, he would have traded his plan of infiltration and killed everyone in Hydra at that time. Too bad only a select number of people know that…

But… He doesn't have much to worry…

It's the same principle of not trying to step on the shoes of the slumbering powerhouses hidden around the world.

When you stare at the abyss, the abyss stares back at you… So if you start messing with Time, you are bound to be noticed. You can't have a clear shot on someone without exposing yourself, after all.

So, Agent Cole, who is working overtime in his laboratory right now, suddenly feels that something is different. If asked, he would not be able to explain what, but something changed.

Then it happened. Tzzt A white vortex starts spinning in a point of the room, expanding quickly while messing with the surroundings. It's like a storm just spawned in the laboratory. Electricity made the electronics go haywire, and the wind moved all the papers.

Agent Cole obviously didn't stay shocked for long, so he ran to press the button to call for help before running to the door. But the door is locked, and there's no reaction from the button.

"Don't bother… You are isolated from the world." A feminine voice talks with him. The voice is clear despite the chaos, obviously coming from the vortex that has already opened as a portal.

Now he knows what the strange thing that happened before was. He was cut off from the world. He fell into a trap! Can he turn this situation around? Maybe… If the culprit wanted to kill him, they already would have done that… Maybe they want his skills too… He can live.

Now he waits while staring at the portal. A feminine silhouette slowly appears and walks out of the vortex.

"You are the last one… Truthfully, chronologically the first one, but I'm going from backwards." She says while calmly stepping out of the vortex before it closes. Behind her, a floating throne hovers just a little above the ground. It looks technological, black and with some white highlights.

"Who are you?" Agent Cole asks, losing a little of his fear.

It's… It's just a young woman… in a maid uniform?

The woman is beautiful, with silver hair and grey eyes. She has two small braids on each side of her head, and her expression is calm. Wearing a maid uniform with a medium-length skirt.

A maid… The situation is crazy.

"Oh, where are my manners? Sorry, I just went through this a lot of times already… But is no excuse to get sloppy." She says before grabbing the hems of her skirt and raising it a little in a polite greeting pose. "I'm one of my master Battle Maids, from the Maid Squad. The Time Maid, Izayoi Sakuya." She speaks like that would explain anything, but it only left Agent Cole with more questions than answers.

"Eh… I see." Despite the strange situation and her outfit, he is not stupid enough to underestimate her. "What do you want then?"

"Straight to the point? Good. Ahem" After clearing her throat, she raises her arm and a holographic projection appears above her wrist, and she starts reading from it. Agent Cole noticed that holographic projection is very advanced, leaving no traces of light, the screen simply appears "Cole Jay, Hydra Operative…"

To his shock, she starts reading his whole information. From his hidden surname, to where he was born, and even some erased background.

"...crime of trying to do irreparable damage to the timeline by affecting my Master past, you are sentenced to Existence Erasure. Resistance is futile, and any argument that you didn't do anything yet is null based on the Principles of the Law of Time Travel, Paradox Section. The consequences of your actions have already been dealt with outside Space and Time, so there's no problem in erasing the cause."

"What?" He says in shock

"I think I was very clear." The maid says in a calm, chiding tone "Let's go over it, after you, I can finally return to my Master's side." She turns her back on him, and that's when Agent Cole acts.

He reaches for a gun beneath the table, only to discover that his body is frozen in space… No, in time.

"I told you that resistance is futile." The maid says without turning back.

She walks to the hovering throne before turning a little sideways and gestures to it while looking at Cole.

"My Master lent me his Mobius Chair, you are too early in the timeline to recognize it and know who my master is, though. But it is commonly called the Eidolon Chair." She does the courtesy of explaining who is behind his demise "With its power I will erase you, don't worry, you will not feel pain."

Then she turns to the Mobius Chair and, after a small bow to it, sits on the throne.

Cole watches helplessly as the Mobius Chair lights up, the lines empowering the maid and her eyes shining in a bright white light. From her mouth, a robotic tone comes while she lists some information that he can't understand.

And then he disappears slowly… There's no attack, no beam of light hitting him, he was not smited off existence… he is simply erased.

"Task completed…" Izayoi breaths out "Or almost."

With a press of a button, the chair shines and then brings her back to her timeline.

She ends up in a huge corridor, so big that giants can walk side by side and on each other's shoulders without a problem. In front of her, a giant double door blocks her path.

Izayoi Sakuya is a little nervous… The report that she needs to give… Has a little problem.

It seems she will not have a long time to prepare herself mentally because the double doors open slowly, only a tiny bit, but that is already enough to let her pass comfortably. The Mobius Chair becomes a ray of light and flies inside.

To its true owner.

"Haah Excuse me." She breathes out to compose herself and enters.

What greeted her was a familiar sight, she had been in this secret place before… Three people are here too.

Despite being a room, it's a cliff… It's like the outside world. A night sky, rocks and soft grass, a lake below… It looks normal.

If the night sky isn't one that is unrecognizable by anyone… if the rocks are not precious metals and gems… If the grass isn't some high-grade plant that are able to extend the lifespan of mortal beings and even heal the worst of injuries… And if the lake beneath them was not a vortex of multicolored stars, like a rainbow galaxy spinning.

"Welcome back." The only male in the room says in his smooth voice without turning around. He is fishing on the lake of stars, using a special black and white fishing rod. The rod looks like it is space consolidated, while the line is light, given form.

"Master. I completed the mission." She goes down on one knee. In truth, how any of his people greet him is up to them. He doesn't care, a simple small bow would have been enough, or nothing, but she still kneels this time. Because she feels some guilt in her heart.

"Good job." He says in a calm tone. Her head is down, and she can't even look at him. "And…"

'He knows…' No point in hiding any longer. "And… one of the young ladies was able to follow me and dropped down in the past." She confesses.

Her job was to make sure no one could interfere with the timeline, and she allowed someone to time travel. That was inexcusable.

"Oh, I didn't know my daughter was so good with chronokinesis that she could sneak on you, Sakuya." He says in amusement. He then pulls with his fishing rod, and the line brings an orb with something inside "Oh, a Frieza Saga Goku… There would be a time I would have been excited about this. Nowadays, I can simply make my own saiyans." He comments with a melancholic tone before putting the orb away.

It's different from the past, but he is playing the Gacha.

That's why there are so few people here, one of the rare moments where he can relax. If her mission were not so important, she would not be here either.

There's obviously an unnecessary bodyguard too. His people are adamant about making so that he always has a bodyguard, someone that he can sacrifice in case things go bad, because no one is strong enough to protect him.

"You allowed her to follow you and didn't bring her back, right? So useless…" The said bodyguard barks at Sakuya.

"I didn't allow her to follow me… She was really able to sneak up on me!" The maid defends herself. She can take anything criticism from her master in silence, but she will not hear it from this woman.

Sakuya doesn't like Altair. The white-haired woman in military clothes is not a pleasant company for many people.

"Then you should have been able to bring her back before she messes things up!" Altair says back

"The Young Lady said that she would deal with the time traveller of that moment…"

"You are simply too soft." Altair scoffs

"As if you could refuse her!"

While the two are discussing the third woman in the room, the one sitting on Hector's lap finally decides to say something.

"Noisy…" She says in annoyance, making the other two shut up.

"Huhu, girls, please. You are annoying Ophis."

Sakuya finally looked directly at her Master. She is seeing his side profile, relaxedly fishing with a young girl on his lap. The gothic lolita is casually grabbing infinite sweets from his pockets.

Despite his power, he is wearing casual and comfortable fishing clothes. A white shirt, shorts, a fishing vest, sandals, and even a hat. They know he has a lot of "Lucky Charms" in his many pockets.

Izayoi Sakuya just went ot the past, and obviously sneaked around to watch the young version of her Master. So she can say that he didn't change much, only a little in the size department. He is bigger, taller, still proportional, and more masculine, too. After losing all the baby fat.

"Sorry…" The two girls need to say

"I do not blame you, Sakuya. Let's say that my girl is really hopeless.Pfft~" No one laughs at his dad joke. "And by the way, another son of mine sneaked too. He piggybacked on the trail a little late. His powers are better for that, so obviously you didn't notice… He just entered the timeline after you left and went that way through all the jumps."

"..." Now that surprised her. She really didn't notice anyone else. "Thomas…"

"Yes. I'm surprised and a little proud that he acted so patiently." Her master confirms her suspicions. He is one of the few of his sons who can do that, and the one who would really try.

"You are so useless." Altair shakes her head, making Sakuya glare at her. "How will you take responsibility if the timeline is damaged?"

She was going to answer that, but her master beat her to it.

"Relax, you two… The timeline where I stay is not so fragile that it can rupture for something so trivial." He smiles with great confidence, making Sakuya's heart flutter. While doing this, he pulls another capsule from the lake "Galactus? That is weird now..." He laughs alone again. "Which man would summon another father-in-law?"

He puts the orb with Galactus aside before continuing "Like I was talking… Time travel paradox is tricky. I don't remember my children going to the past to visit me, but paradox time travel corrects itself with me in the center… So I just gained the memories of two timelines, neither more real than the other. Remember me to punish them for the teasing they did to my younger self and their mothers. They went a little too soon, we are not even together yet. It created some awkward moments." He says while finally putting the fishing rod aside, "They are lucky I am who I am, or they would not be born. It didn't change much, though… Some things happened a little earlier, others a little late… But everything balanced itself in the end."

He shrugs and stretches his arms. "It's okay if it happens… What is Marvel without a Time Travel saga, right? Even I have gone to the past many times… Do you remember the timeline I created, but erased afterwards, that I was Doom's father? Pfft. Little Victor is Hector's little boy. One of the funniest things I did." He laughs loudly "And I still have all the baby pictures I took from everyone, too. Good blackmail material." He stands up while putting Ophis down.

He is simply that strong. Two timelines? He will remember the two. Existence erasure? He would come back. Prevent him from being born? Impossible.

In truth, trying to do anything with his existence would hurt the universe more than it would hurt him.

Sakuya watches her master straighten his back. Seven feet of perfection in the center of creation.

"Sakuya, follow me… Some people noticed my children's mischief and are thinking that they can discipline them. Can you believe that? Discipline my children? I stayed quiet for too long, it seems…" He smiles lightly before stepping forward. "My children are old enough, already raised… I can add an extra thing to care now."

Space crumbles where he passes. It's like he is going through tempered glass and immediately arrives at his destination. At his level, distance is irrelevant, everywhere is one step away.

Normally, he would not be so… aggressive. But a message needs to be passed.

She and Altair quickly follow through the gap in Time and Space and arrive at the lobby of a building.

She also recognizes this place… Altair smiles toothily on the side.

She watches her master walk to the reception calmly. The receptionist kept her head down, not even noticing him. He hits the bell calmly, like he is a customer.

When the bell rings, the receptionist finally looks up and almost has a heart attack seeing his face.

"Excuse me… I would like to schedule a time to destroy all of you. Preferably right now. Everyone here is busy, so I would like to do it as quickly as possible…" He says in an upbeat tone that doesn't match his words. He then grabs a paper on the side and a pen. "Reason to visit? Totally annihilation of the TVA…"

They are doomed… The TVA was on her master ass for a long time, but he never bothered with them too much. She remembers what he said before… His children are old enough, now he can take on other responsibilities. He is gonna take over the TVA place.

"Don't worry, I will fill out all the paperwork later. Bureaucracy, right?" He rolls his eyes while filling out a form at the reception
