A new world (Marvel X DC)

Yesterday's concert by Alison was simply magical. We already managed to upload a lyric video of the song "Firework" to "YouTube", and today the views just exploded!

It was a promising result, promising the label "Alritex Records" a rapid development in the music industry, and…..

"Mr. Reath, these too," Heather's voice brought me out of my thoughts. The company has accumulated a lot of work and a pile of papers requiring my direct participation and consideration.

Today I decided not to be distracted by anything, and finally unload my assistant from a pile of unsigned waste paper.

"Are you okay?" Heather asked, handing over another batch of documents for signature. She was too attentive not to notice my indifference.

"Yeah, yeah," I assured her. "You can go. I'll figure it out."

She didn't believe me, of course, but she nodded. "I'm here if anything happens," she said, and, clicking her heels, walked out of the office. I couldn't concentrate.

My thoughts kept taking me far beyond the workplace, returning me to that evening in the restaurant. That was when I realized how weak and helpless I was. I was unable to protect myself from the Joker or his henchmen. I was vulnerable to them! And all because Batman hadn't taught me how to dodge bullets yet! Damn it! I've more or less mastered martial arts.

[A/N: Before anyone complains, he is not blaming Bruce for anything, he is just lamenting his weakness.]

Of course, I'm still far from a real expert, but I can put together a bunch of street thugs without even breaking a sweat. And I certainly improve my combat skills every day. But if I came across an armed gang of criminals, or even just the most lousy supervillain, I would have to run as fast as I could... And I was not happy with that scenario at all!

I don't want to run! I want to fight, defend my honor, give the super-scumbags a kick in the ass, and finally, save a beauty in trouble... Is that too much to ask for, huh?! I mentally called out to the status window.

What a useless system I have! It's useless, except for inventory… In fact, its only function is to clearly show me the state and capabilities of my body. Why am I so unlucky?! I need to get stronger! Well, well… Luckily, I'm in a universe where Marvel and DC exist side by side. And this is exactly the place where you can even accidentally gain superpowers just by walking down the street.

True, the chance of dying here is also high… But, as they say, something has to be sacrificed to gain something… I analyzed all the options and realized that in the near future there were no safe enough opportunities to gain power.

Naturally, I excluded those options that involved too much risk. I'm not going to die chasing a ghostly hope of success. I still want to live!

Therefore, I came to the conclusion that at the moment the only relatively safe way to become stronger is to get the "Super Soldier Serum".

Yeah, there are no easy ways for us. In fact, many people have tried to recreate Dr. Erskine's serum. And, in fact, no one has succeeded. Norman Osborn tried, and eventually acquired a second personality, becoming the Green Goblin.

Bruce Banner also decided to try, and also acquired a second personality, becoming the Hulk. This serum was literally haunted by failures... However, it is worth mentioning that some people managed to achieve impressive results in this field.

However, the mixture they received, although it resembled Dr. Erskine's creation, was far from it. It was a somewhat simplified version, and not as stable as the original.

All these people lacked the slightest thing to fully recreate the "Super Soldier Serum". If they had at least a drop of the original chemical compound to conduct a detailed analysis, it is scary to imagine how far they would have advanced in their research. Unfortunately, or fortunately, they did not have the opportunity to acquire this "drop". But I do! I know the one in whose veins the formula for the original serum flows. And I also know where he is now, and what condition he is in!

Having his blood, I will have a "beacon" in my hands, following the light of which I will reach the final goal. That is why I asked Bruce for technology capable of detecting a person's presence at a great distance.

I am going to set off on a journey soon, straight to the snowy Arctic, to find Steve Rogers there. At the moment, he rests there, frozen in a block of ice. And I have to find Captain America before S.H.I.E.L.D. does. It is better not to delay with this, because I will not forgive myself if I miss such a valuable opportunity.

Having in my hands the original serum, stable, without side effects, and acting constantly... This would not remain indifferent to anyone. But I understand that I alone cannot bring such a large-scale project to fruition.

I'm not a biochemist, not a geneticist,and certainly not an expert on Vita and Gamma radiation. I have no idea how exactly to research Rogers' DNA and recreate the serum.

All this time I have only studied programming, robotics and mechanical engineering. Besides, I have not yet studied everything to the end, and I have a lot of material left to cover.

Even if I now abruptly switch to another field of science, I still will not be able to master it soon enough to work on such a complex project as "Super Soldier".

Therefore, I have only one option left - to entrust this work to other people who are more qualified in this matter. I know many scientists who could handle this work: Curt Connors, Hank McCoy, Bruce Banner, Hank Pym, Reed Richards, Charles Xavier, Ray Palmer, Lex Luthor, Bruce Wayne ... I can list the names further, but the point is that, practically, none of them can help me. Some don't care, others won't even show interest in me, and some I simply don't trust, and even telling someone about this project would be the greatest stupidity!

As a result, by process of elimination, there are only three names left on the list. Only to them can I turn with a request to work with Abraham Erskine's formula. One of them, in fact, is Bruce Wayne... After all, Bats is one of the smartest people on the planet, and has a perfect command of several exact sciences, because in order to create his super-technological toys, he must be a highly qualified engineer and inventor even though he has help in the form of Lucious Fox, the work is mainly done by him.

In addition, he often conducts a variety of experiments and research, looking for more productive methods to fight enemies. He developed antidotes to poisons, studied mutations, dissected alien DNA piece by piece... Once, when vampires led by Dracula invaded Gotham, he was able to independently develop a serum against vampirism. I can continue listing his exploits, but I think it's all clear... I hope Bruce won't refuse me help.

Heh, I just had a thought, how dangerous would Batman become if he were enhanced with the "Super Soldier Serum"? Okay, that's not what I need to think about now. The second person on the list is Pamela Isley. Even before turning into Poison Ivy, this person was an outstanding botanist with encyclopedic knowledge. Moreover, she is a highly skilled chemist and has vast knowledge in the field of toxicology.

Pamela studied various toxins to create perfumes, cosmetics and medicines. After the transformation, this knowledge helped her create dangerous poisonous plants and traps for enemies.

In addition, in order to better understand her condition as a dryad, she studied genetics. And she achieved great heights in it. She is an ideal candidate, if, of course, I can convince her to join the project. Eh, difficult! Well, the third personality is Kavita Rao - a doctor of science in biochemistry and genetics from India.
