???....

You slowly opened your eyes, and sighed. You sat up and looked down to see that you were wearing all white, again.

Y/N: Shit.

OAA: You seem to enjoy visiting me.

You looked up to see One-Above-All standing there with a smile on his face.

Y/N: So, I'm dead again?

OAA: It would seem so. You were lucky my daughter informed me of your death when she did. Your soul was slipping away.

You rasied a brow.

Y/N: Your, daughter?

The man nodded.

OAA: I believe you refer to her as, Timber?

Your eyes grew wide.

Y/N: Wait......Timber is a girl?!

OAA: Yes. She is my daughter. I had sent her to be your guide long ago. That was before Jeremiah managed to grab her. Regardless, your paths did cross.

Y/N: Timber is a girl?!

OAA: Yes. Now, we have more important matters to attend to. Timber will be here shortly to help me explain everything to you.

You stood up and followed the man over to a bench. You both sat down as he took a deep breath.

OAA: You see, boy. I know everything there is to know about you. There is so much I want to say but I can not.

Y/N: Thanks. It helps.

OAA: I wish I can help. But atlas, I can not. All you need to know is that you are the only one that can kill Jeremiah.

You sighed as you looked at your hands.

Y/N: Right. Well, I kinda already killed someone already so, I'm getting there.

???: About time, to. I thought that invasion was going to last forever.

You looked up to see a girl standing there with grey hair and a white dress. You blinked for a moment before your eyes grew wide.

Y/N: Wait....Timber?

Timber: In the flesh.

You stood up and looked at her.

Y/N: Oh my God. I treated you like a dog and you the daughter of the guy who created everything.

OAA: You treated her well.

Timber: Very well! I like the bed you picked out, by the way.

Y/N: Uh, thanks?

OAA: My daughter was sent to earth to be your guide. Your destiny is much bigger than you could possibly imagine.

Y/N: Really?

Timber: Yep! As a matter of fact, your destiny started the moment you became Leviathan.

Y/N: It did?

OAA: Yes.

You sighed as you sloched down.

Y/N: Woah. Wait, so how long am I dead for this time?

OAA: Only a minute. Your death won't even be noticed.

Y/N: Right. So, is this actually a minute or am I gonna be dead for two months?

One-Above-All looked at you oddly.

OAA: 2 months?

Y/N: Yeah. You said I was dead for one but when I got back, two months had passed.

OAA: That's, impossible. I sent you back a month after your death. That must mean, you were elsewhere for an extra month.

Y/N: Come again?

Timber: Your body and soul weren't on Earth during that extra month.

Y/N: Then where were they?

OAA: I do not know.

Y/N: What? How do you not know? You said you knew everything.

OAA: I know what I know and I do not know what I do not know.

Y/N:....Dude.

One-Above-All just placed a hand on your shoulder and smiled.

OAA: I believe we should send you back now. Unfortunately, Timber will stay with me for a while while we work to figure out why your body and soul did not return immediately.

You looked over to Timber.

Y/N: You're not coming back?

Timber: Not at the moment. I will be back eventually. Though, you won't have me as a guide and I won't be able to tell my father if you die.

Your eyes went wide.

Y/N: So, unless you're there, if I die, I die for real?

Timber: Yes.

You took a deep breath before you let it out.

Y/N: No problem. I can do this.

OAA stood up and placed a hand on your head. Suddenly, you whole body felt lighter.

OAA: I grant you this gift. Your third eye, if you will. It shall allow you to look into the minds of others. You can only use it on a person once a day.

Y/N: So, I can read Nikki's mind and my mom's but only once a day?

OAA: Indeed. Now, it is time for you to go back.

You looked over to see the light spreading.

Y/N: Alright. I guess, we're doing this.

OAA: Goodbye for now, Y/N.

Timber: Later!

You closed your eyes and took a deep breath.
---------
Wakanda....

You shot up from the bed as you tried to catch your breath. You grabbed your chest and laughed.

Y/N: I hate that so much!

Sue: Kid?!

You looked over to see that Sue and Reed were sitting in the room with you. They both got up and walked over to the bed where you repositioned yourself to sit at the edge. However, you noticed something missing. You looked down at your left arm to see that it was missing from the elbow down.

Y/N: Huh. They really took it off.

Reed: It was too damaged to keep intact. I'm sorry.

Sue sat on the bed next to you and placed a hand on your head.

Sue: How are you feeling?

You just shrugged.

Y/N: Tired? Sore. Ready to go home and sleep for, like, a week. Is my head lighter?

Sue: They had to cut your hair to patch you up properly.

She showed you your hair in the nearby mirror. It was so short now. The sides were shaved and some of the hair on the top was now cut shorter.

Y/N: My hair.

Sue smiled at your humor before the door opened again and two more people entered. You looked up to see that Cap and a girl had entered.

Cap: You're awake. Good. Welcome back.

You just lifted your hand.

Y/N: Good to be back.

You then looked over to the girl. Cap noticed this and cleared his throat.

Cap: Right. Y/N, this is Princess Shuri of Wakanda. Shuri, this is Y/N L/N. Leviathan.

Shuri: Right. The one who saved my brother, and the world.

You just smiled awkwardly.

Y/N: It's nice to meet you, your majesty.

Shuri just smiled as she shook her head.

Shuri: No need for the formality. I am here to express my gratitude for all you've done.

You raised a brow and noticed that she had a black case with her. She walked over to a table and you followed. She unlocked the case and opened it to show you what was inside. Your eyes grew wide.

Y/N: Is this...

Shuri: I made it myself.

In the case, was a new arm. A Vibranium one. It was dark in color like T'Challa's suit but it had markings of gold in the carvings. You lifted it up and looked at it.

Y/N: No way.

Shuri: Would you like me to put it on you?

You nodded and handed her the arm. Shuri navigated the arm towards your stub and made some tweaks before it was connected. Immediately, it connected to the Leviathan hub in your eye. You looked at it and moved it around.

It was light yet, it felt like you still had an arm. Like, you could feel it. You touched the desk, and you could feel the wood.

Y/N: Woah.

Shuri: Tony told me that you like to work on your gear so I left room for you to do whatever you'd like.

Y/N: This is amazing. Thank you so much. I feel like I should bow.

Shuri: Like I said, no need. You are a hero to Wakanda.

Cap: And the world. You did good kid. As a matter of fact, I have a gift for you as well.

Cap held something out to you and you took it with your new arm. You looked at it and saw it was a card of somekind. Upon closer inspection, you saw it was an old Avengers card. It was Jacques' card.

You looked at his picture, when he was human, and smiled. You then looked up at Cap.

Y/N: You sure you want me to have this?

Cap: He would have wanted you to be the one to keep it. In the end, you were the one who ultimately saved him. He would've liked you.

You smiled and looked down at the card. You ran your finger across it which caused it to move. Suddenly, you noticed something under it. You pulled it out and saw that it was another card. One of the new ones. Nadia has one just like this but, she was an Avenger. On it, was the name Leviathan.

Y/N: What is this?

Cap: Well, I spoke to the others. We know things are a bit strange right now with the Kamala Law. However, we have found ways to recruit you. It's also why we can still keep Robbie on the team.

Y/N: Is this your way of asking me to join the Avengers?

Cap nodded.

Cap: You have saved the world three times despite having no special abilities. You are an exceptional fighter and a great strategic leader. We could use someone like you.

Reed and Sue smiled as you looked at the card.

Cap: What do you say, Y/N?

You gave it some thought. An Avenger. You could be like the very heroes you had always admired. You would have their backing and you will be able to go on missions. You slowly smiled as you looked at Cap.

Y/N: No thanks.

Sue and Reed looked at each other in surprise. You tucked Jacques' card into your pocket and handed the other one out towards Cap.

Y/N: It's like you said. Kamala's Law is still in affect. Until my friends can be heroes without the government going after them, I'll stand by them. Until then, I'll have to reject your offer.

Cap looked at the card before he pushed it back to you.

Cap: That's just fine. Keep the card. Though you won't be a member, you'll still have this to call on us if you ever need help. Once you're ready, we'll be glad to have you.
--------
You walked around the palace of Wakanda as you looked around in awe. This place was awesome. You smiled as you pulled out the card Cap gave you and tilted it. A hologram suddenly appeared on it that showed your portrait. Shame you don't have your gear anymore. You turned it off and tucked it into your pocket before you noticed someone else in the hall.

T'Challa walked towards you with some guards by his side. He spotted you and signaled for his guards to leave him be as he approached you.

T'Challa: Hello, Y/N. It is good to see you out of bed.

Y/N: I needed to get up and move. You doing good? Swordsman did stab you.

T'Challa: He stabbed you as well.

You both laughed in the hall. T'Challa looked at you before he pulled something out of his robe. He handed it to you and you realized it was one of your gauntlets.

Y/N: Where did you get this?

T'Challa: You had dropped it on the mound. I had Shuri fix it the best she could but, this device was beyond her genius.

You looked over the gadget before you attached it to your wrist. You looked around before you spotted a nearby ledge. You aimed before firing off the hook, but nothing happened. You pulled your hand back and sighed.

Y/N: Yeah. The energy from the fight on the command ship probably fried it. The hook must be stuck. I can probably fix it later.

You looked over to the king as he stared out at the city of Wakanda.

T'Challa: You saved many lives, my friend.

Y/N: Well, couldn't have done it with you guys.

T'Challa smiled at your modesty. You looked out at the city as well before you looked at the king.

Y/N: Hey, are you really ok?

T'Challa: Yes. My armor healed me enough for me to get aid. Thank you for your concern. And you? You did die.

You looked at him surprised.

Y/N: You noticed?

T'Challa: Indeed. For a whole minute, your pulse had stopped. You are truly, undying.

You laughed at the title.

Y/N: Thanks for the compliment.

T'Challa: Of course. I also presume that Captain Rogers gave you the card?

You nodded as you held it up. To show him. T'Challa smiled at the picture.

T'Challa: Jacques truly was a great man. It it such a shame that his double wasn't the same.

You tucked the card back into your pocket before you looked at the implant in your arm. You activated it and saw that Nikki had sent you a message.

Nikki- Call me when you can.

T'Challa: Is that your brother?

Y/N: Yeah. Probably just wants me to let him know I'm safe.

You closed the hologram and turned ro T'Challa.

Y/N: Thank you. For everything you've done. Really.

T'Challa: Of course. You have saved my people and everyone else on Earth. You helped us put an end to an ageless conflict.

He placed a hand on your shoulder as he smiled brightly at you.

T'Challa: You are a true hero, Y/N.

You nodded as he let go. You decided it was time to go home. You had a family to get back to. T'Challa held out his hand as if he knew.

T'Challa: This is goodbye for now.

You nodded as you grabbed his hand.

Y/N: Yeah. Til we see each other again.

It was odd but, you felt like you were saying goodbye to an old friend. You both shook hands before you laughed a bit.

Y/N: Uh, this is a bit embarrassing but, can I do the thing?

T'Challa smiled.

T'Challa: Of course.

You smiled as you crossed your arms over your chest.

Y/N: Wakanda forever.

T'Challa mirror your actions.

T'Challa: Wakanda forever.
----------
New York...

Y/N: Nikki?!

You entered your apartment, which was somehow not destroyed, and looked around. Your mom and Hailey were still in one of the evacuation spots but Nikki had said to meet him here.

Nikki: Y/N?

You looked over to see that he was sitting on the couch with a large chest next to him. He stood up and walked over to you before he noticed your new arm.

Nikki: Is that...

Y/N: Vibranium. Courtesy of the country of Wakanda.

Nikki: I see. How are you doing?

You rolled your shoulder as you sat on the couch.

Y/N: Tired. So, uh, what's with the chest?

Nikki looked over at the chest and sat down.

Nikki: This, and everything in it, once belonged to a man known as Dr. Hurwood. He passed away about a week ago. Inside of it, is all of his equipment.

Y/N: Cool. What is it?

Nikki opened the chest and showed you what was inside. Journals, maps, bottles, and so much more.

Nikki: He was a researcher.

Y/N: What did he research?

Nikki: Demons.

He handed you one of the journals and you opened it. Inside were notes and drawings of various monsters and demons. You looked through the journal before Nikki sighed.

Nikki: This is about father.

You looked up from the book with a raised brow.

Y/N: The Doctor? How?

Nikki: Our father is a man of science, just like you. However, he is also an expert in the occult. He has lived a long time and has gained quite a bit of knowledge on these things.

You rubbed the back of your neck. You didn't like where this was going.

Nikki: He has several demons under his command. Dangerous ones. Ones we need to take care of.

Y/N: So, are we going demon hunting?

Nikki reached into the chest and pulled out a revolver.

Nikki: I'm glad you catch on fast. Indeed. We shall go find and kill the demons under father's control. He plans on inactive some kind of plan that has been years in the making.

He handed you the gun and you looked at it for a moment.

Y/N: Yeah. Uh. All my gear is destroyed.

Nikki: We have everything we need in this chest.

Y/N: Right. Let me try something else. I just died again after fighting in a space war and saving earth. Can I take a break?

Nikki looked at you unimpressed. You just sighed.

Nikki: Dr. Hurwood has left me his fortune. This is all covered by his money. The faster we get this done, the faster we can stop the Doctor.

Y/N: Yeah but, whyyyyy?! I just got home!

Nikki: Grow up. I have written a letter for mother and Hailey to let them know we will be going on a trip. You should do the same for your allies.

You just looked at him before sighing.

Y/N: I'm really not getting out of this, am I?

Nikki: No. Pack what you need. We leave in the morning.

He stood up and looked at the chest.

Nikki: Grab what you want from it. We'll need it.

He then left. You just groaned as you fell back on the couch.
--------
You looked at the duster coat you had on as well as the F/C bandanna around your neck under the goggles that you had once used. Around your waist was the belt you found in the chest where you had the revolver holsted.

Y/N: Who are you?

You shook your head and grabbed your bag before you headed out of the apartment. You kinda missed having Timber around to teleport you around. Whatever. She was probably helping her father with something important.

Nikki: Are you ready?

You looked over at him to see that he had a bag of his own. You nodded and followed him down the street. You had left a letter, like Nikki said, and you smiled as you looked up at the sky.

Y/N: You know what? I'm kinda excited.

Nikki: You are?

Y/N: Yeah. I've been looking for an excuse to have some brother bonding.

Nikki looked at you oddly before smiling.

Nikki: Indeed. Perhaps this will be, fun.

You smiled back.

Y/N: Perhaps.

Nikki: Have you thought of a name for this persona?

You smirked as you nodded.

Y/N: Yeah. I did.

Nikki L/N. Kraken. Champion.

Y/N L/N. Outlaw. Acting Leader of the Champions.
