Marcus And Winston Wick In Convergence Of Marvel And DC

Diana POV:

When was the last time I felt like this? When I sailed out of Themyscira to stop the war Ares fueled at world of men? When I fought with my half brother to stop him from destroying the world? When I found my first love Steve Trevor, then loose him to the first world war? Or when I fought along side with Steven Rogers the last world war, a man of honor whom I had the p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e to call my best friend, only to loose him to war too?

No, none of those feeling can be described by what I felt, when I first met them.... specially him, Rao El, one of the last sons of Krypton. The moment our eyes met, I knew my life is going to change... in every possible way. But that is a story for another time.

-These opportunist, brainless theorists. We are the one that orc.h.e.s.trated the fire? Hearing that makes me want to vomit. We should have just listened to Pa's warning, and do nothing.

Winston shouted for the umpteenth time smashing the newspaper in his hand.

-For god's sake Win, you know why people are like that. They fear what they don't understand, what they can't control. It is the inherent nature of human. You cannot change that. Look at the other side, we are now being worshiped as gods at some part of the world.

Winston rolled his eyes at his elder brother's lame joke.

-What's now? We uncovered our face partially removing our face mask when we used cryo-breath. Our deed have spread across the world. It's you matter of time before...

Winston couldn't finish his sentence before a couple of middle aged man and woman entered there dorm room.

-Before what? Pa comes in to drag you disobedient children back to Smallville.

Jonathan said with clear angry tone.

-Jonathan give them some break, will you? They are just kids.

Martha tried to stop him.

-Yes, kids that are apparently people want to either crucify as a menace or want worship as gods. Pack your things. We shall leave in half an hour.

Jonathan said in a strict tone.

-What about our university?

Marcus asked.

-I already gave notice to university that, you are just kids and we, your parents are concerned about your health by living alone in foreign city. You are way ahead of your academics too. So, the university granted you 2 months of leave. You are coming with me, you are grounded for 2 months.

Jonathan declared. Winston pleaded to Martha,

-Ma, say something to Pa.

-No, Winston. It's necessary. The government should hounding you two right now. Let us wait out the hottest search time dear.

Martha answered. Marcus said,

-I think Ma and Pa is right. We broke every promise we made to them that night, so some punishment should be due. Don't worry Ma, we would be ready in half an hour.

2 hours later.

The truck of Kent family was on its highway and right now they are having a big argument.

-I don't know what I am doing with my life anymore. Shouldn't one help others if he is capable of doing so?(Winston)

-Our family has been farming for 5 generations. Is farming not helping others? People are fed because of what we do.(Jonathan)

-Your family, not mine! Your just a farmer who found us, brothers, at your door steps. I don't even know why I am talking about this with you anymore.(Winston)

-Winston!!

Martha reprimanded. Marcus just shook his head in resignation. They have been going back and forth for hours.

-No, Martha, Winston is right. I am not..... what's wrong with traffic? What happened ahead?

They all got out of the truck as the road was blocked with a lot of car. After a few seconds, they realized a tornado has formed and it is coming towards them.

They manage to evacuate almost everyone in the vicinity. Jonathan stayed behind to check anyone is left or not. He found a dog trapped in car. When he tried to take the dog out, another flew in and dropped over the car Jonathan was in. He couldn't get out as he was stuck, though he manage to let the dog out. The strong air movement eventually threw the car off from the car he was in, but the time he got out of the car, it was too late, the tornado was too near. Just as Winston was about to fly in to save him, he signaled them to not to and seeing that Martha held him back. Marcus couldn't believe what was happening. None the less he decided to honor the choice his Pa made as he too believed the world is not ready for them yet. So, he too held Winston back.

Death of Jonathan hit Winston the hardest as the last thing he said spoke was not so nice. But consolation of Martha did heal him somewhat. She was a strong woman and she too honored her husband choice. But she was concerned how Winston would take it. So, she made sure Winston wouldn't self blame himself for happened.

After mourning for 2 weeks, they came back to university. This time, they didn't continue their crusade against crime, they were simply not in the right mindset for that. So, they decided take rest for now.

The SHIELD was confused due to their inactivity as they had no concrete means of tracking them down.

For one and half years, they fully concentrated on their studies, earning their bachelor degree with 3 major each.

But their emotion never fully healed. They felt they have lost something significant to them, being as powerful as they are, they couldn't save their father. That was a true terrible hit to their ego, specially Winston. It was as if he was loosing grip of drive to live slowly.

Realizing the situation, Marcus thought something needs to be done about it, he couldn't endure seeing his little brother suffer like that.

-Hey Win....

-What do you want Marc, I am going to sleep.

-We both know you don't sleep, so don't try to avoid me. What are you going to do now that we graduated?

-I.... I don't know actually.

Hearing that Marcus got up from his bed and said,

-Let's spar. How long has it been since we sparred together?

So, both of them went to their practice dimension.

Marcus took out a Vibranium Admentium alloy sword of Chinese design where Winston took out a Japanese katana of the same alloy. Soon they started exchange blow. Metal hitting metal. Spark flew every where. They were so fast that even a super soldier like Captain America wouldn't have any hope catching their movement with his eyes.

But it was evident that Winston was still lethargic. Clearly he lost the drive. Winston got distracted for fraction of second and got blown away by Marcus.

-What happened to you Win? Why are you being like this to yourself? How many times do Ma and I have to tell you that it wasn't your fault.

-Does it really matter? Nothing would bring Pa back. What's the point of caring about others now, if we can't save our own father?

-Pa made a choice and we have to honor. Would he like see you in this state? He chose what he chose because he believed we shouldn't reveal ourselves to the world just yet. He didn't want us to stop doing what is right. He just wanted us to wait and m.a.t.u.r.e. What are you doing is dishonor to his memory.

Winston got up, clearly water dropping from his eyes.

-I can't forget, Marc. No matter how many times I try. Whenever I try to close my eyes, his face of disappointment from my words come in front me. I can't just forgive myself.

Marcus hugged his brother saying,

-Let it all out Win. If that is what lightens your burden.

Winston cried in his brother's embrace for a long time. After that Marcus said,

-I decided to go to Kamar Taj. They cannot help us too much to get stronger, but I think the ancient one can help us at least training our mind and emotion. We won't be able to fight the war to come with this kind of emotional strength. You coming with me?

-Has there ever been a instance I didn't come with you where you wanted me to come?

-Nice, we set out tomorrow after meeting with Ma.
