New book: Naruto: Uchiha Transforms the Ninja World
------------------------------------
The lab's vibe turned awkward. Tony grinned at the Future Team's wary confusion. "Relax, folks. James is Superman. What's to fear?"
Peter blinked. "Uh, what? Superman?"
Steve frowned. "The comic book Superman?"
Harry scoffed, "If we had Superman, we wouldn't have lost so badly."
Tony sighed dramatically, gesturing grandly. "Let me introduce the team!" He slung an arm around James, who dodged impassively, leaving Tony coughing awkwardly.
"This is James Holden, ultimate Kryptonian. Heat vision, freeze breath, super strength, speed, bio-field, magic resistance, and Sorcerer Supreme-level magic." The team stared blankly.
Tony pointed to Kara. "Kara Zor-El, Kryptonian Supergirl. No magic, but she can punch continents to dust."
Kara rolled her eyes. Tony continued to Wanda. "Wanda Maximoff, Chaos Magic wielder, reality-warper extraordinaire."
Wanda groaned, "Tony, don't exaggerate!"
Finally, Tony tapped his chest. "Me, Tony Stark, Iron Man with enhanced Super Soldier serum, Asgardian Uru armor, and nanotech to solo gods." He eyed the team. "So, who can stop this crew?"
The Future Team: "…"
Peter raised a hand weakly. "Seriously, not a joke? Isn't Superman DC's thing?"
James sighed, eyes flaring red. Swoosh! Heat vision sliced a thick alloy plate overhead, his freeze breath icing the molten metal instantly. The team stepped back. James levitated. "Believe me now?"
They turned to Kara, who sighed but fired heat vision, scorching the floor. Then to Wanda, who laughed, scarlet magic twisting the air. Tony snapped his fingers, his armor shifting to Hulkbuster mode and back.
Steve's shield clattered to the floor. Peter muttered, "If we had this lineup, the Creators would've cried."
Reed adjusted phantom glasses. "Scientifically, Kryptonians shouldn't exist here."
James shrugged. "I'm from a parallel universe."
Harry blinked. "So, we just hit the jackpot?"
Tony patted his shoulder. "You won the lottery."
Steve picked up his shield, calming himself. "With this firepower, we don't need complex plans."
Peter mumbled, "With Superman, just charge in…"
Steve nodded. "Priority: finish the time machine as a failsafe. If we fail, survivors can go back."
"Agreed," Reed said. "With Howard's help, it'll be faster."
James shrugged. "I'm just here for fun."
Kara and Wanda exchanged looks. Wanda smiled. "We'll wait in the lounge?"
Howard pointed to a side door. "Coffee machine's new."
At the workbench, the geniuses dove in. "Energy conduits need reworking," Reed said, pulling up a hologram. "I tried negative ion beams for temporal stability, but it's 15% off."
Tony's armor tools deployed. "You missed quantum tunneling decay." He turned to James. "Can your magic stabilize it?"
James conjured golden runes. "Balance force should do it."
Howard stared, awed yet skeptical. "This is magic? Looks like an advanced energy matrix."
"It's all energy," James said, embedding runes. "Just different forms."
Reed leaned close, eyes wide. "This structure's perfect! If I could model its math—"
Tony yanked him back. "Not unless you want a random time jump."
Lounge
Kara handed Wanda coffee. "Think we can trust this Future Team?"
Wanda stirred, scarlet magic swirling. "Their emotions are real. Steve's guilt and resolve practically spill from his soul."
Kara sipped, grimacing at the taste. "Their heartbeats are steady. No lies."
Outside, searchlights cut the night, the Creators' logo looming in the clouds. Wanda's eyes darkened. "Reminds me of Hydra."
Kara stood beside her. "This time, we have the power to change it."
Nightfall
The machine hummed. "Done!" Howard wiped sweat. "Temporal targeting's calibrated."
Reed checked data. "Stability at 99.8%, beyond expectations."
Tony tapped the shell. "Tech plus magic—progress."
James withdrew his runes. "Time to settle with the Creators."
The door opened, the others entering. Steve raised his shield. "When do we move?"
James's eyes glowed gold. "Now." He opened a massive golden portal to the Creators' headquarters' core hall, revealing a throng of figures.
Tony smirked. "Saves us kicking the door."
Wanda's chaos magic surged. "Let's show them real power."
Kara levitated, heat vision ready. "Quick fight?"
James stepped toward the portal. "No, let's play."
