Alex Mercer found himself standing atop a skyscraper as he looked down at Manhattan. He knew the city very well.
This wasn't the actual Manhattan, just a clever copy.
Alex span around to face the noise coming from behind him. His hand changed to his Blade and he lit it aflame and got into a stance.
The same woman and man he saw in his earlier fight.
"Woah. What is this place?" The man asked in surprise. Alex growled menacingly.
"Who are you?" He demanded impatiently. The woman and man turned to look at him in alarm.
"Woah woah man! Chill chill!" The man raised his hands in the sign of peace. "Name's Mercury. The Messenger God." The female was staring intently at him for a second before she spoke.
"Aphrodite. Goddess of Beauty." She said as she looked at him with interest.
"What do you want?" Alex growled. He lowered his stance but kept his arm as the Blade.
"We wanted to thank the guy who saved us some humiliation. So, what's your name?" Mercury asked in a relaxed manner.
"Why should I tell you? I don't need friends." Alex countered. Mercury sighed.
"Fine. Whatever. Thanks for saving us." With that, Mercury disappeared. Aphrodite remained and kept staring at Alex.
"What do you want?" Alex asked in a annoyed manner. Aphrodite shook her head slowly to snap herself out of her trance.
"Are you sure you don't want to tell me your name handsome?" Aphrodite asked in a seductive manner and lowering her upper half enough to show her cleavage. Normally, Gods all but tumbled over each other when she spoke like that. She believed he would be no different.
"No. Now fuck off before I make a rope out of your intestines and start skipping with them." Alex growled in a warning manner. Aphrodite was shocked. She huffed a few seconds later.
"Why are the best ones always so tough to get?" She asked herself. She gave him a determined stare. "Mark my words, I will find your name out."
"Already forgot them." Alex muttered back. Aphrodite huffed but she vanished as well, hopefully really far away.
Alex needed to be alone. For as long as he wanted.
1 hour later...
Alex was walking calmly through the streets of non-wrecked Manhattan, normal civilians walking normally past him.
He had found out that this Fake Manhattan changed to his every whim.
A brawler fight? Some would come running and tearing up civvies.
Hydra? Sprout right out of the ground.
Juggernauts? Punch through a building and appear in the destroyed wall.
Evolved? Come running and land in front of him.
Dana?
...
...
He didn't want to try that one.
He looked to the sky as some words appeared. He read them cautiously.
YEARLY FEAST HAPPENING IN...
5...
4...
3...
2...
1...
START!
Alex raised an eyebrow as he looked at the words before he teleported.
Alex landed on a stool.
He looked around.
He saw various people, males and females, of varying species, sizes and appearance.
He, unluckily, was next to Mercury, though Aphrodite was a few stools down.
Mercer looked at his plate, it was a feast after all, and saw meat with no vegetables. This raised his mood slightly, it felt nice to eat something normally for once.
Then it dropped even further.
"Hey dude!" Mercury greeted next to him. Alex growled at him in response and began eating, many of the others already doing so. Mercury didn't attempt to talk to him again, instead favouring some dude across the table with blond hair and clothing that hardly concealed his chest and covered his legs in a skirt.
Their conversation, about how many women they had had sex with, really ruined his appetite, though eating normal food and not people didn't affect his hunger that much.
"Hey dude, how many women have you had sex with?" Mercury asked Alex. Alex felt like clawing his own head off to escape his annoying voice. He decided to answer, to save what little sanity he had left.
"None." Alex grunted, grabbing one of the three cups next to his plate and downing it in one gulp, slightly disappointed that the liquid, now he noticed that it was alcohol, didn't make him drunk, though nothing did. He grabbed the next two cups and downed one and looked inside the cup. Mercury and his pretty boy friend gaped in shock.
A pink frothy liquid was inside that was slightly alarming but Alex wasn't worried. Any poisons inside the drink wouldn't affect him. He gulped the last of the pink liquid and put his cups back on the table, continuing to eat.
"NONE?" Mercury and his friend yelled. Everyone turned to look at them, though they favoured staring at him. "YOU'VE NEVER HAD SEX?"
Aphrodite's POV...
Aphrodite was currently talking to her friends about the mysterious new God who resisted her charm when...
"YOU'VE NEVER HAD SEX?" Apollo's shocked voice was heard throughout the entire table. Everybody, male and female turned to Mercury, Apollo and the strange God they didn't know the name off.
"No. Now leave me alone to my food." The stranger growled back in annoyance, not embarrassment, and returned to his food. Everyone at the table was shocked beyond all belief.
All the male Gods had had plenty of sex in their lifetime and here came one that didn't attempt to plow the nearest girl and isn't even embarrassed about it! Heck, most Goddess', excluding the Sworn Virgins and some others, aren't virgins.
Everybody returned to their as soon as the stranger finished his food. His plate vanished and dessert, which was a sundae today, and he wordlessly began eating through it.
"How about a bet?" Aphrodite proposed out of nowhere. All the female Gods turned to look at her. "Whoever takes his virginity first?"
Unfortunately for Alex, all the female Gods excluding the Sworn Virgins took the bet.
