Convergence Point - Prologue
By
Celgress
Beyond Normal Reality
Battleworld was being torn asunder by titanic forces. The Beyonder watched it all unfold from a place that was not a place, a place that existed only because he willed it to exist. At last, the time had come to end the grand experiment he had performed innumerable times before but this time the outcome would prove different. A fragment of Battleworld derived from what some termed Marvel Universe 616 caught his interest rather than let it grow back into a full version of its own derivative reality he decided to embark on a far different course of action. Another reality derived from what some teamed DC Earth Prime was undergoing its own crisis of realignment due to the introduction of elements from another DC-based reality. While both the Marvel fragment and the DC world were in a state of profound instability Beyonder stepped in. He would fuse these diverse elements together creating a rare convergence point universe.
'How splendid,' Beyond thought.
Battleworld
"Take my hand!" Spider-Man shouted at the red-haired girl who quickly did as she was told. He and the girl were dangling over the edge of a jagged precipice suspended by a strand of webbing. Below them loomed a swirling void of oblivion. Annie tightly clung to Spider-Man's body holding on for all she was worth.
"I'm scared." The girl cried.
"I know you are. Everything will be okay I promise. Just close your eyes, Annie." Spider-Man said. Strange as it sounded Annie was his daughter from an alternate universe.
Cautiously Spider-Man made his way back up the strand which was about to break when it was reinforced by two more strands of webbing. "I figured you could use a hand." Said a second Spider-Man this one clad in black and red rather than red and blue.
"Thanks, Miles, I owe you one," Spider-Man said.
"You owe me at least four by this point, but hey who's counting." The other Spider-Man said. Like Annie, Miles Morales was from another universe.
"We're safe now you can open your eyes," Spider-Man said to Annie.
Annie opened her eyes but refused to release her grip. She started to cry. "Mom and Dad are gone." The eight-year-old sobbed.
"There, there, everything will be okay," Spider-Man said while gently stroking her hair. 'Somehow,' He added silently to himself.
Peter Parker knew he was in no position financially or emotionally to care for a child. He looked at Mary Jane Watson whose counterpart was the mother of Annie. Their eyes briefly locked before Mary Jane quickly looked away. He and MJ were not even currently together in their own reality. If they survived this, what were they, what was he going to do about Annie?
"What's happening now?" Exclaimed Lana Baumgartner aka Bombshell another metahuman plucked from Miles' home dimension.
"I have no idea, but I doubt it's anything good." Miles who stood next to here said while they watched the fragment of world around them seemingly melt away into a kaleidoscope of clashing colors and confusing sounds.
DC Earth Prime Variant
Other than a pair of onlookers reality itself melted away as the two versions of Superman stood in front of each other. Lois Lane-Kent and her nine-year-old son Jonathan Kent watched the world-altering event unfold with trepidation. Neither truly understood what was happening. Lois fervently hoped her husband would not be harmed or otherwise be ill effected by whatever was taking place between him and the other Superman. Slowly the two Supermen merged together all the while reality began to reorganize itself because of their fusion. Suddenly the process became even more chaotic than it already was. Lois and Jon put their hands over their ears and closed their eyes in a vain attempt to protect their senses from the bewildering onslaught. Soon, everything went black as they lost awareness within the violent maelstrom of profound change.
Beyond Normal Reality
An eon passed within the blink of an eye. Beyonder was pleased with his work. He had perfectly melded the two worlds together into one new composite Earth the centerpiece of a new convergent point reality with all that entailed. The only elements which had given him some trouble regarding their incorporation into the new whole were those from realities others than 616 or Earth Prime namely Annie Parker, Miles Morales, Lana Baumgartner, Lois Lane-Kent, Jonathan Kent and the non-Prime portion of Superman. Initially, Beyonder considered simply erasing these foreign elements, aside from the merging Superman, but decided against such a course of action. He enjoyed a challenge and was nothing if not creative. After much work, he managed to fit these elements into the whole with a minimum of disruption. Now everything was ready. He rested after his taxing exercise while he prepared to observe his creation for as long as it and its various pieces would hold his interest. Once he was satisfied with his first round of observations he would go do something else leaving his creation to thrive or flounder on its own for a time. the joys of being a near omnipotent transdimensional entity were many and diverse and he enjoyed them all.
To Be Continued
Author's Note One -
The Lois and Mary Jane of this new reality will not have super powers to start with. I might give them superpowers, later on, I haven't decided yet. If I do give them powers Blue Lantern Lois (as she became in one possible future) and Spinneret MJ (from Renew Your Vows Universe) will not appear for a considerable amount of time. FYI out of necessity Peter and MJ are once more married and unlike in RYV Aunt May is still alive & well.
Author's Note Two -
The next few full chapters (if there is enough interest in this premise) will be devoted to world building and character development of this new composite reality and those who dwell within it. This series will be much slower paced than my usual fare. While I do have my first major threat in mind it will be sometime before it'll appear on the horizon to menace our heroes.
Author's Note Three -
While I want to stick as close to current canon DC & Marvel for the start of this universe I could not resist adding Annie into the mix. I've seen the fan art that pairs her with Jon Kent and I want to eventually explore that idea with the pair first becoming friends then (much) later something more. I also think Jon, Annie, and Damian can form an interesting junior Trinity. Age wise Damian is ten, Jon nine and Annie eight at the beginning of this story.
