Spectre's Chronicles: Chap #11
🕑 Added 2023-07-23 11:32:23 +0000 UTC"Son...look at you, sweetie, are you okay now? Nothing's hurt?" The woman, who's my mother, asked while taking a step towards me.
"Yeah Mom, I think so," I said to her with a guilty look in my eyes as I continued,
"I'm sorry ma, for worrying you and Dad." I look down with a dejected look on my face.
When my mom saw my look, he came to me and gave me a warm hug while saying,
"Ohh sweetie, it's okay, it's not your fault what happened okay? It's that bastard who did this to you."
She comforted me as she caressed my cheeks and looked at me with her motherly loving eyes.
"I know Mom, but, still, I'm sorry for worrying you,"
"Okay sweetie, mama forgives you," She said while kissing my cheeks,
"How's Uncle Ben by the way?" I asked her, curious as to what happened to Uncle Ben,
"Uncle Ben's fine sweetie, Sweetie, I'm so proud of you, you know? For saving Uncle Ben, but...sniff*, don't ever, sniff*, never do that again okay! Sniff*" She said while sobbing, her tears building up in her eyes.
"I...I'm sorry ma..." I muttered in regret and guilt for making my mother cry.
"Don't just say sorry! Promise me! Sniff*" She cries out as she looks me in the eyes.
"I...I promise," I said nodding, I clenched my arms knowing that I will break this promise considering what is to come in the near future.
"Okay sweetie, you promise okay, look at you! You're making me emotional," She said while wiping the tears from her eyes,
My parents are the best thing that happened to me in this world. I don't know why in the fanfic that I've read in the past, most protagonists quickly get over the fact that they're reborn and that they will never be able to see their loved ones again.
But for me, my family was mostly the ones who steered my path in this world. They serve as a reminder that this world is just as real as it was in my past. That's why I cherished them to no end, I will never forgive anyone who dared to harm them. Ever.
"By the way, Pete, MJ, and that blonde chick also often visit you here," She said while eyeing me weirdly when he mentioned the blonde chick whom I suspect is Gwen,
"The blonde chick's name is Gwen," I answered, embarrassed as I avoided her eyes.
"I see~...anyways! Are you sure you're fine now sweetie, no pain or anything?"
"I'm seriously fine Mom, actually, now that you mention it, I feel absolutely much better now," I uttered in surprise, considering that I'd just got shot by a gun, I feel extremely healthy and energized.
"Come to think of it, how long did I sleep Mom?" I asked her while cracking my neck and fingers.
"A week, you recovered extremely fast...I mean Stephen said the bullet did not hit any of your important organs, I guess that's normal? Or maybe it's just in our genes huh, I also heal fast you know?" She said with a strange smile on her face.
" 2 weeks...that's fast," I said while my face was blank seemingly in thought.
"Sweetie I need to go now, I need to fix your papers, your father is busy with the police so he can't come here yet, your sis is a little busy at her school so she'll be late, recover fast, okay?" She said as she stood up and took her leave, not without giving me a kiss on the cheeks.
"Hmm," I said with a nod. As I lay down and closed my eyes.
'Recorder huh...' I thought as I checked my surroundings thoroughly to check for any cameras. Finding none, I raised my arms and thought about how to use my powers.
Clink*
With an audible clink, there I saw it, a mirror between space with its form geometrical reflecting my image. It's ever-moving and continuously clicking in front of me seemingly inviting me to go in.
'Will I get out if I came in that, you can only get out with a sling ring right' I thought in distress. But then I remembered.
'Dimensional Ruler...'
With a determined look, I waved my arm in a pulling motion as I pulled the mirror construct mentally causing it to immediately fall on me, when I collided with it, I felt a little invisible force collide with me and there I found myself inside the mirror dimension.
'This is so fucking cool...can I manipulate it freely, the fandom said that it only moves geometrically like the Archimedes Spiral'
I waved my arms to change the scenery around me to a wide hall and at the start, I found that it was very hard to do so.
However, after a few minutes, it changed similarly to what I envisioned, the only difference is that the hall that I created was differently colored to what I imagined and the hall was still noticeably made up of plane mirrors.
"I guess it's not all that easy, huh..." I muttered with a sigh, a little disappointed at the control of my powers. But, just like the saying goes, practice makes perfect.
By the way, all of this is happening while I'm laying down on a hospital bed so...haha. I'm too lazy move my body, but I can move my arm and head freely.
I can't just stay in bed for a week or worse, a month just doing nothing, and most of the reason is that I'm just excited to use my powers who can blame me?
"It looks like I need a little practice to fasten the transformation of the area to what I want it to look like, but I managed to completely manipulate it without following any geometrical concept, which is a plus because I can do it without the enemy predicting my dimension like what Peter did to Strange."
I muttered, talking to myself is a good way to brainstorm ideas and knowledge.
'Can I also break the rule that all that happens in the mirror dimension stays in the mirror dimension? If I can do that without consequences, then I can defeat any non-magical enemies and most of my magical enemies without them seeing me.' That's food for thought.
In the movie, Kaecilius managed to take a piece of a mirror dimension in the real world, If I can do that too, then I can basically have an infinite mirror to manipulate in the real world. Mirror Manipulation, glass manipulation, reflection, magnification. If I can manipulate the density of my mirror freely then this power is f*cking good. A complete defense and offense arsenal.
If I can transform its form, then I can use it for flight, armor, bladed weapons, shields, etc. Add to boot, I can also manipulate its colors, maybe texture, and other physical properties in the future. If I can master that then creating illusions will be easy by then.
"Holy shit," I muttered in disbelief realizing the possibilities of my powers.
"I can use it for reconnaissance, surveillance, and spying on someone, considering that they can't see me inside this dimension, it will help tremendously in some of my plans."
'I can finally do the things that I want when I was a chuuni. Staring at the ants below while standing on an invisible platform in the sky. Maybe flight if I can cover my body with a mirror.
'That's the only physical aspect of it...'
I remembered the One-Above-All mentioning this, does that mean that my power is broader than I thought it is?
Come to think of it, what if the Ancient One already knows about me? I'm not ready to meet him or her yet.
I still don't know who the Ancient One in this world is, it's better to be cautious than be trapped or worse killed because of the Ancient One's paranoia.
I don't know what he or she will do to me if he/she somehow found me as an anomaly in this universe.
The Sorcerer Supreme and the Master of Mystic Arts are the protectors of the Earth from mystical threats, if they saw me and deemed me a danger to this reality, I can imagine what they will do to me.
The Ancient One's Time Stone is the biggest hurdle that I can't face, that is if he/she has it, in the comics, the infinity stones were in a different holders so I can't be sure. If they already know about me, then they should've already been here ambushing me in the mirror dimension. But, TOAA did say that no seer, time stone, or clairvoyance will be able to see me. I guess I'm being too paranoid, huh...
Well, expect the unexpected, right?
I don't know what my future holds but if somebody fuck up my life, then I can fuck up the reality to destroy whoever did it.
There are only three possibilities that I can think of for why they didn't come for me yet. Either the One-Above-All blocked me from everyone's clairvoyance/sight thereby making the Infinity Stones ineffective, or they already know about me, but they decided to just watch my movements first, or they just don't care about me.
While thinking about my current dilemma, my vision got suddenly blocked by a small broken piece of glass that detach itself from the mirror dimension...
In its frame were 4 teenage boys and girls that I am very much familiar with, namely Peter, Flash, MJ, and Gwen. The three of them were walking in a white hall. I immediately recognized it as the halls of the hospital that I am in.
'F*ck I need to get out of here, ASAP' I thought in panic completely ignoring the bizarre piece of broken mirror hovering in front of me.
"Fuck, sling ring!" I exclaimed in realization.
'I completely forgot about it!' I thought as I slap my forehead in my idiocy.
Thinking of another way to get out, I remembered that Scarlet Witch managed to get out of it in MoM without a sling ring, but she used her chaos energy for it.
'I'm the dimensional ruler of this dimension, surely I can get out here without a sling ring?'
'Please work!' I waved my arms and thought of myself going out into the mirror dimension.
A few seconds later, a small patch of the mirror dimension in front of me stopped moving, the small area of that part then transformed back to the room where I came from.
Just like what I did when I entered the mirror dimension, I raised my arm and waved it in a pull motion and mentally pulled it too, causing the small patch to go toward me and for me to enter it, bringing me back to reality.
Looking at my surroundings, I saw that I am now back in my hospital room like nothing had happened.
'Exiting the mirror dimension without a sling ring? Check.' I thought with glee.
Unknown to Lucas, the small broken piece of mirror dimension that warned him of his friends' arrival is an ability that only he holds, that most would kill for.
