-------------

While Jhon was meeting for the first time the one who would be his sister from now on.

In another world.

The sunlight illuminated the city. The air moved the plants with beautiful grace.

This was the kind of perfect atmosphere to reflect on life.

In the middle of that reflective peace, a man moved erratically in the shadows, slowly approaching the light, his body swaying as if he couldn't stay stable.

As he walked, strange noises came from his mouth, as if he were agonizing while still alive.

If any life remained in him.

Slowly he touched the light and his deformed face could be seen. His skin was completely green, corroded and grotesque, his eyes sunken and his mouth completely nonexistent, the only thing he had were yellow teeth ready to tear flesh.

A zombie.

Suddenly an arrow appeared out of nowhere and hit him in the head, throwing him to the ground, putting an end to his suffering, if any part of him still had consciousness.

Right after...

A beautiful woman with black hair came out from the back while pulling the arrow from the head, cleaning it with her suit and placing it on her back.

Next to her were her allies in this whole hell. A teddy bear was inside a technologically impossible suit for the once world of Jhon, it flew slowly on guard behind them.

Another woman, on the other hand, was in the middle, looking around.

With the group they had, it was not impossible to interpret that they were protecting themselves from any attacker.

Ahead there was one more, an African-American woman with glasses on her forehead, symmetrical braids adorned her hair while she had an unfriendly face.

All of them were looking at the buildings of the once peaceful city, now full of vegetation and death, searching for any anomaly that would put them in danger.

Finding no more zombies, they kept walking, touring the city.

Broken monuments, collapsed buildings, wrecked cars with dead people inside, streets split in two.

There was everything a human never wanted to see in their life.

After a few minutes of walking, they were approaching a store.

"Does anyone worry about the absence of zombies here?", asked the woman who was in the middle of the group, without stopping the direction.

That woman is Kamala, who while asking them, moved her arms with boredom.

The others heard her loud and clear, because silence invaded the city.

The African-American woman, Riri, simply did not answer, her mind was busy thinking about how to fix the suit that came with them.

"Meh...predators move when food does", answered the black-haired woman, Kate, shrugging while keeping her bow ready to respond to any strange movement.

The armor with a bear on its head flew behind her, without making any comment.

After a pleasant silence, they arrived at the store.

Entering, Kamala began to inspect it carefully.

While looking around, she saw something that made her open her eyes and smile.

"Super!", she spoke excitedly.

She went and quickly grabbed that and with the same smile on her face, showed it to her friends.

"Hey, look what I found~!", she raised the can of tomatoes with a mocking smile that only made the others smile slightly.

Vroooom

But right then the rumbling sound of a plane was heard, which made them look at each other and run out of the store.

They quickly went out and watched as a Quinjet passed by the buildings.

"Wow!, was that a quinjet?", exclaimed Kate watching the ship pass through the air without stopping its course.

"Yup, Model 36XT" interrupted Riri, alias IronHeart with playful arrogance.

Kate and Kamala looked at her with slightly incredulous and amused expressions.

"How do you know that?!", said Kate and America at the same time. Upon realizing that, they looked at each other and laughed. Riri included.

After that, Riri acquired a serious expression. Aware that if a quinjet appears in the sky during an Apocalypse, there will only be two possibilities, either it is an intelligent dead person, or it is a survivor. And she only hopes it is not the first.

Keeping that in mind, she made a decision.

"Let's go, we have to follow it!", said Riri while running, to which the others followed her.

Behind her, as always, was the floating IronMan armor.

The three launched themselves running straight to the Quinjet.

1 minute later, on the way.

"Do you think there will be survivors in the quinjet?", asked Kamala with excitement in her voice at that prospect, dodging the small debris like the others, while using her powers to move the big ones.

However, not all had that same conclusion, in a world where there are heroes capable of killing humans like cabbages, what is the probability that some strong one has not been infected and by default infect the others? Also, there are already intelligent infected, they don't want to end up eating brains.

"I don't think so, but it must be full of materials!" Answered Riri excited at another better prospect. For her it is more appetizing to find parts with which to help the armor, than to find someone and have to take care of them while preventing themselves from dying.

Kate did not comment on the way, she was simply alert for a possible attack.

One minute passed in their journey and when they were arriving...

Boom

Instead of a safe landing that would be expected from a latest model Quinjet, what happened was an uncontrolled descent, as if it did not have a pilot capable enough to do it well, or simply had no pilot.

The Iron Man suit was the first to arrive at the scene, it flew past the front and aimed at the front of the Quinjet, prepared for anything.

Then they arrived. Kamala got ahead and wrapped her hand in cosmic energy creating a giant crystallized hand, then pierced the Quinjet hatch and forced it to open.

The three stood looking at the cabin with furrowed brows. Ironically all have expressions of bravery on their faces, Kamala is in a fighting position with her fists and Riri aiming with her personal laser cannons that she had to manufacture, but internally they are scared.

"Alright, move fast, if we heard it, they did too", said Kate out loud, the expression on her face was unmistakable, absolute concentration.

Having more experience than them in the field, she took charge of encouraging them while slowly advancing, tensing her bow in the process. She doesn't want any intelligent Zombie to come and ruin their day.

Kamala swallowed audibly, the sound was heard in the silence of the Quinjet. The others looked at her, but even with experience, it is inevitable to be nervous.

They entered the cabin with slow steps and the first thing they saw was the main chair of the Quinjet, where it is piloted.

"There's nothing here...", whispered Kamala, visibly relieved but still on guard.

"I wouldn't be so sure", Riri lowered her glasses and like in a science fiction work, lines of information and an improved vision were projected on her glasses from her point of view. The first thing she did was focus it on the pilot's seat, and when she did, the glasses sent her present thermal signals.

"I'm receiving signals from the cabin", she whispered to her companions in a low voice, they immediately went to the front to see what it was, when they arrived next to the pilot, what they saw when looking at him was a...dead man.

"Ehh... he's... dead.", pointed out Kamala scratching her head, observing the dead pilot, who was buckled in, his head hitting the back of the chair.

"Yeah, that seems..." Said Kate with visible relief, pointing out the obvious and putting her bow back on her back.

"Mm, there's something in his stomach." Said Riri, who was still looking with her glasses. Apparently the thermal signal did not come directly from the dead man, but from something else. "Do you think it's something important?", she asked focusing her glasses more, observing the tiny heat source.

"As much as to swallow it?, seriously?", Kamala was still incredulous, but considering that Zombies swallow brains, why not something else?

"Yes...well, maybe he wanted to hide it", Riri turned to look at them and took off her glasses, not knowing what to do now.

Putting on a face of disgust, Kate knew what had to be done, so she proposed the idea first and save herself from having to do that. She raised her hands for them to pay attention and spoke.

"Mm...someone has to take it out, AND that won't be me!, I did the last disgusting thing", denied Kate before they make her take out the guts of that Zombie, no way she does that.

The two sighed, with the most concentrated face they have had in this Apocalypse, they looked at each other and said at the same time: "One, two, three...go!"

Both started playing rock, paper, scissors to decide who would have to do it.

10 seconds trying and in the end Kamala lost, the young woman just seemed shriveled knowing she lost, who would want to open the belly of something like that?

After a few minutes of moral support to poor Kamala, she is now in front of the dead man's belly, her power enveloping her hand.

She slowly brought her hand forward while disgust was expressed on her face. Holding her breath, she inserted her hand inside, wrapped in a shiny crystal. The sound of skin tearing almost made her vomit, but in the end she wrapped her hand around the tiny thing that was inside.

"Eh...what is this?", Kamala took it out and showed it to them still in front of the dead man, the three immediately realized that it looked like a device to store information. Its oval and tiny figure fit in two of her fingers.

They were so concentrated on the device that they did not notice that the Zombie moved a little.

Suddenly the zombie opened his eyes and attacked Kamala in an attempt to bite her face.

"AHHH!", Kamala and the others screamed from the attack, but she quickly created a crystallized shield in front of her, protecting herself from the Zombie's bite.

The Zombie hit the shield, his teeth broke from the impact. Having nothing to bite, he returned to his original position, not moving this time.

"I thought he was dead!", shouted Kamala with a pale face from the scare, she almost thought she was going to end up all green and toothless.

After the scare, the three breathed relieved and stared for a few seconds. Maybe from the nervousness of what could have happened, they laughed together.

After laughing, Kamala became aware and got annoyed. With disgust still etched on her face, she no longer wanted to be the one doing the dirty jobs.

"Riri, next time you put your hands Murdoch in the Zombie's belly, okay!", she pointed accusingly at Riri while pouting. Riri just shrugged and laughed lightly.

Fiu

Without them noticing, an arrow flew at dizzying speed toward the teddy bear head on the Iron Man suit, hitting it directly.

¡BOOM!

The arrow exploded, fracturing the Quinjet glass and throwing the Iron Man suit to the ground. The three immediately went on guard.

"CAREFUL!", they shouted while running to find something to cover them from another possible arrow.

"Friday!", shouted Riri worried about the suit, which apparently is controlled by Friday, the once AI of Tony Stark.

Upon recapping the sound before the explosion and the pressure with which they hit Friday, Kate opened her eyes and said: "Hawkeye..."

..."

She peeked through a small space to visualize the attacker, but barely a small part of her head came out of what was covering her.

Fiu

An arrow went straight to her as soon as she peeked.

Clang

She reacted with reflexes clearly trained by the same one who shot it and quickly moved, dodging the arrow.

"Shit", she cursed because she was almost hit with an arrow right in the head, her breathing shortened a bit from that possibility, but knowing she can't lose concentration at these moments, she acquired a serious expression.

She pulled the arrow stuck next to her and looked at her friends, giving them a simple order: "Move on my signal." Saying that, she took the bow from her back and ran outside.

"Now!"

Kate and Riri ran slightly crouched without hesitation as soon as Kate gave them the order. Although internally they prayed not to end up with holes all over their bodies when going out.

Kate, showing why they have that trust in her, tensed her bow and with the same arrow that was shot at her fired toward where Zombie Hawkeye was.

Fiu

However, experience could be noticed even in death.

"Damn it", she cursed seeing that the arrow did not hit directly but he dodged just in time.

Grrrr

Zombie Hawkeye tensed his bow and narrowed one eye, aiming at Kate, who was hidden after seeing that she missed.

At the same time that master and student test who is better, Kamala and Riri, still crouched and holding the sides of the Quinjet, went to see how Friday was, their AI friend.

"Friday, hey Friday!", whispered Riri in a low voice a few meters away toward the AI in the suit, worried. Kamala was behind her, equally worried.

The suit raised its arm on the ground and put a thumb up, while a clearly feminine voice with a robotic touch was heard.

[System overloaded, shutting down for repairs]

"She's still here..." Riri sighed relieved knowing that at least she was still "alive" and they hadn't fried her.

Slowly they tried to get closer...

Fiu

An arrow stuck right next to Riri. She reacted in time and managed to avoid the impact.

"Holy mother!", she saw her life flash before her eyes, her heart began to beat uncontrollably from the adrenaline, but she calmed down breathing little by little.

Inside the Quinjet. Kate breathed and came out again, aiming toward where Hawkeye was with two arrows on her bow. She sharpened her eye and having him in sight, launched both.

Fiu

Hawkeye dodged the first arrow, passing by his waist.

As if she predicted that, Kate gave him no time and immediately shot the other arrow.

Fiu

Ughh

This time the arrow hit right in the heart, stunning him for a few seconds.

Seeing this, she opened her eyes and shouted to the others: "Move, quick!!"

Kamala upon hearing the shout automatically used her powers and created a crystallized zone under the Iron Man suit, lifting it.

Kate ran out of the quinjet with the bow in hand, aiming at the Zombie.

"Run, now!"

The two followed her example and grabbed the structure, one in front and one behind, running with the suit over them.

Zombie Hawkeye was going to launch an arrow straight at them but Kate got ahead and shot one at his, hitting it and splitting it in two.

Grrr

They ran faster and managed to enter an alley away from his sight.

The Zombie narrowed one eye and took an arrow from his back, then with what could be called concentration on his dead face, aimed at a window on the corner of that street, above them.

Fiu

The arrow hit the edges of the window, bouncing and hitting the window closest to them.

"Kamala, shields!" Shouted Kate seeing the arrow they were shot. Kamala heard her call and turned toward her, opening her eyes seeing the arrow approaching her body. She quickly created a crystallized cosmic energy shield on her arm and raised it to protect herself.

Clang

The arrow bounced and spun several times in the sky until falling into Kate's hands.

"Haha, Super!", she expressed with joy on her face while smiling, even so she did not stop running. "A special arrow!"

"It's a good time to use it!", said Kamala turning toward her, urging her to throw it at the Zombie, but Kate is too much of a nerd to do it.

"Is that a joke?, it's for special moments!" Shouted the bow nerd, not wanting to waste it lightly. The only positive thing about the situation is that they already came out to the other side of the street, losing the Zombie. Apparently he had come alone.

Hearing what her friend said, Kamala was numb, they almost gave her a piercing in the back and she wanted to keep it for herself.

However, as they were already leaving the alley, with a smile on her face she simply shook her head.

Zombie Hawkeye seeing that he could no longer see them, simply put his bow on his back, walked backward and disappeared into the shadows.

They would see each other again very soon.

.....

At night. Outskirts of the city.

A large house was in the middle of the forest, enough to go unnoticed, in its imposing structure were very well cared for plants, accompanying the luminosity of the lamps inside it.

Inside the house, specifically in the kitchen, were our survivor stars, preparing to eat after all the Zombified drama they lived in the afternoon.

"The oven was hot today." commented Kamala while holding the can of tomatoes she stole from the store, even if they give her a piercing in the forehead with an arrow, the tomato could not be missing for her.

"It was a sunny day, no need to turn on the condenser." Kate answered her, who was a few meters away, grabbing some plates to serve today's food.

"I wish the solar panels made food, we wouldn't have to go out.", Throwing the can of tomato into a pot on the stove to cook them, Kamala passed a hand over her belly, a little hungry. Then, she turned to see her friend and said: "Your mom really thought of everything, it's surprising."

"I guess, I guess she lived her life waiting for something bad to happen." Commented Kate a little sad while continuing to choose the utensils.

"I think she was right", a voice interrupted the conversation, it was Riri, who was in the dining room, or what was left of it. Several meters long occupied by different devices that allowed her to analyze the composition of the tiny thing they found in the Zombie's belly.

But right then...

Knock knock

The living room door sounded, breaking the tension and creating a new one that immediately put them on alert.

Kate moved quickly to grab her bow and arrow, Kamala created a crystallized shield in front of her hand, ready to protect her friends from some heavy attack. Riri grabbed her cannons and put them on her hands, aiming toward the living room, not without keeping the device they found in her pocket.

The three stood next to each other. They walked toward the front of the door and Kate signaled Riri with her hands to open the door, without stopping aiming with her bow, prepared to launch the special arrow she wanted to save. Right now they didn't know what was behind, maybe it warranted it.

Receiving the signal, Riri breathed and moved toward the door, turning the handle and opening it.

Creak

The sound of the door caused much more tension than there already was, so Kamala swallowed a little saliva.

Seeing what was in front of them, Kate had her mouth open and Kamala blushed a little, which caused her powers to waver. Riri only thought: Damn it, why couldn't it be a black guy?, now there's another white guy and with hazel eyes.

"Girls, I know I'm handsome, but if you look at me like that, maybe I'll blush a little", the man in front of them told them, winking with a soft smile.

The man wore a symmetrical and pristine black suit that contrasted with his black hair pulled back, his 1.92m figure eclipsed them enough to look up.

Hearing the manly voice of the man, Kate only said: "Abababa." Maybe because her mind suffered a short circuit, the explosive arrow slipped from her fingers, going straight toward the man's body.

Fiu

Watching what happened, she opened her eyes wide with horror and shouted worriedly to the man: "Watch out!"

She was already going to tell Kamala to create a crystallized shield in front of the man, but he moved his torso to one side with a speed that was impossible for them, grabbing the arrow with his hand and observing it carefully.

Kate and Kamala almost had their eyes pop out of their orbits seeing what he did.

The man stopped looking at the arrow in his hand and moved his eyes toward them, with a smile he told them: "Well...I expected another welcome." While commenting that, a blue portal was created below him, near his waist. He gently threw the arrow and another portal was created near Kate, where the arrow appeared.

Riri went on guard seeing that, she was the only one not hypnotized by the beauty of the person in front of her, in fact, she already wanted to go check the device. However, seeing that the arrow fell slowly and it was not an attack, she lowered her guard a little.

What she didn't know was that unconsciously her guard was already low due to the dazzling appearance of the man who appeared, once again attractive men won.

When the arrow fell through the portal, it disappeared. Kate quickly caught it and looked at the man again. Her mind suffered another short circuit seeing how cool that was and only said: "Abababa"

Kamala was already feeling second-hand embarrassment for her friend, so she scratched her head, not knowing what to do now.

"Well...would you let me in to talk?, it's a bit cold out here...", the man suggested to them, hugging himself lightly, pretending to be a little cold so they would let him in.

Hearing what the unknown person said, Kate finally regained her senses and raised her bow while her face acquired a serious expression, however her slight blush on her cheeks betrayed her.

"First of all, who are you supposed to be?", she asked with a furrowed brow.

Riri supported that question, nodding her head seeing that her friends had already regained their intelligence. Her cannons aimed at him again.

Kamala also nodded, embarrassed by what had happened, she didn't even want to speak anymore, she just wanted to bury herself in a hole and disappear.

As if he expected that question, the man smoothed his suit delicately, placed one hand behind his back and bowed slightly, without stopping looking at them.

Seeing the reactions of the two women to his action, the man only had a playful smile on his face.

"I am..."

Hello, here your future favorite author.

Guess what. Now yes, I'm on vacation!. That means there will be more updates.

This is chapter 8, introduction to the world and a small interaction.

Please comment on all chapters, it motivates me to see people interact with my fic. It's sad to see almost no comments, but I guess it's because I just started this fanfic. Unfortunately I don't have Jhon Desire's patience, so it makes me think you aren't interested.

[Unfortunately there is bad news, because I started my other fanfic in the middle of the semester, I never had time to upload consecutive chapters, so I have left it a bit abandoned, I don't like that 2 months have passed for only 11 chapters, so I will delete that fic and rewrite it again, the positive is that I will take into account the comments about the errors it had.]

Lastly, it's shameless but I'll leave it here anyway, maybe not now, but in the future: 200 power stones equals one chapter.

I hope you enjoyed the reading. Have a good start of the day or end of the night.

[JhonDaoist]
