Marcus And Winston Wick In Convergence Of Marvel And DC

Right now, two 15 - 16 years old looking teenager was standing in front of a inconspicuous looking building in New York. Unknown to most people, this is the one of the three sanctums along with London and Hong Kong which is responsible for protecting earth from beings from other dimensions.

They didn't knew the exact location of the sanctum, so they had to scour the whole city with their soul detection searching for strong soul signatures. Surprisingly they found it after long 3 days of search, which they later realized was inefficient. They should have just flew to Kathmandu and search for Kamar Taj there. That would have been probably faster.

So, after few moments of appreciating the view of the building (appreciating the fact that such an important building has perfectly blended with the surrounding), they approached the door. Just as Winston about to knock the door, an African-American man wearing monk robes opened the door.

Just as Marcus was about to introduce themselves the man spoke,

-Good morning, Mister Kent and Mister Kent. The Ancient One has been expecting you.

Saying that he extended his hands signaling them to come in. It still felt kind of awkward though, as they didn't get the chance to introduce themselves. Damn that bald woman, she looked into the future. Winston greeted his teeth and held off spooking the man by saying his name, but Marcus kind of beat him to it this time as maintaining his usual smile he said,

-It is p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e to meet you, Master Drumm. We, brothers, will be in depending on you for showing us the path.

Drumm's eye brow shot up hearing that, but maintained his demeanor after remembering the Ancient One's warning that this twins are not average and he should not be spooked by their abnormality. He thought the warning was redundant. Come on, he was a master of mystic arts. What can two teenager do to spook him! He associated this instance to some gifts these two possessed and thus continued to show them the path.

After they crossed the portal connecting to Kamar Taj, they barely felt any difference as they were still inside the building. When they came out in open area a completely different view greeted them. Gone were the city filled with concrete and welcome the scenery filled with rocky mountains, greenery and beautiful white clouds. The twins couldn't help but to admire the view.

-This way, please.

Drumm urged. After they reached what seemed to be special a quarter, Drumm stopped. He spoke with sincerity,

-I understand that you are fairly gifted, otherwise the Ancient One wouldn't have sent a master to receive you. But still, a piece of advice of a person who had been at your position. Throw whatever arrogance you have in you out of your heart. It would be lot easier to find your way back that way. And one more thing, the Ancient One knows far more than you can imagine. So, forget everything you think you know. To fill a cup, you must empty it first.

Saying that he gestured them to go in. Looking at the man for a moment Marcus smiled for a moment and answered,

-Thanks for the advice.

Saying that they went in. What greeted them was simple spacious living room, a bald person reading some books sitting down on the floor. The book was rested on a broad stool. As the bald person was faced back towards them, it was not possible to tell his or her gender for wearing yellow monk robes. Without looking towards them, a female voice came from her,

-Hello Mr Marcus Kent and Mr Winston Kent. I am the Ancient One you are looking for.

After saying up to that point she turned towards them, continuing,

-But you already know that, don't you? So, what is that you seek from me? More strength, more knowledge, or is it that you lost your path and simply seek guidance to find your true selves?

For the first time in their life, they felt threatened. Well, they also saw Diana who was also a strong being, but she barely posed any threat or malice. But this woman was different, fundamentally. When they checked her soul, it was vast, like a ocean, like no mortal can circ.u.mvent their mind around it, it was also a radiant type, filled with goodwill to the world, at the same time it was smeared with healthy amount of darkness.

But the most significant thing was their survival instinct screaming like crazy. The never felt anything like this outside of survival ground. They felt as if the woman could strip them n.a.k.e.d right there if she wanted to. The feeling was gone after a few second, but they still were on their nerves and were instinctively ready to go on a battle. Seeing their their such tense and careful expression the woman smiled and spoke,

-My apologies. I wasn't polite and thus tried to judge your capabilities without warning you. That may have tinged your instincts. Again, please accept my sincerest apology.

After brief moment, conforming that she held no malicious intent towards them, they relaxed. Her soul was still filled with good will. The darkness should be present for drawing energy from dark dimension. And the alarm that went off in their mind should be from the Ancient One actively checking them out for their strength. Winston asked her with clear agitated voice,

-If you know who we are, you should already know why we are here. Even your rhetorical question indicates that. Then why bother asking?

But Marcus reprimanded,

-Is that any way to talk with an elderly person, Winston? If you continued to speak that way, I am going to tell Ma, when we got back.

But the Ancient One didn't mind as she said,

-No, Mr Winston is right, Mr Marcus. Oh, I am calling you by the first name as you both have same last name. I hope you don't mind.

-No. Please, by all means. You don't need to talk to us so politely. Just Marcus would be fine.

-And you, Mr Winston?

-I don't mind either. It's just a word anyway. True honor is shown through actions.

The Ancient One smiled hearing his words, as she spoke,

-You snatched the word out of my mouth, Winston. True honor is shown through actions. So, as you said, I already know why you are here. But I liked to hear that from your own mouth. It may help us build up our trust and relationship. And by relationship, I mean student teacher relationship. Don't get the wrong idea.

Both of them laughed a little at the ancient one's obvious joke. Which lightened the atmosphere a little. Marcus started to speak,

-We, brothers, are not from earth. We came here by a spaceship when we were still babies and landed in the farm of our parents. They adopted us and treated us like their own children. But it turned out, we are not normal and capable of doing other humans are not capable of. We are super strong and super fast. Capable of flight. Breathing ice, shooting lasers out of our eyes. We continued to grow stronger until our father's death. His death cast a shadow on our mind. From that point on, we barely improved. Can you help us to get over that shadow?

-And what makes you think that I am capable of doing so?

The Ancient One asked while pouring tea for them. After she handed them the tea cup Winston said,

-Well, you healed broken men and women to their peak, both physically and mentally. So, we thought you could help us.

-That's true. But where that is you came to know the existence of such this place? You hailed from Smallville, Kansas, United States of America. Spent 8 years there and then 2 years at New York, completing your graduation at Empire States University. And you spent last one year with your mother back at Smallville again. I don't see the opportunity where you could have learned about Kamar Taj.

Saying up to that point, she looked at them with great scrutiny. It was obvious she was doubtful about them. Both Marcus and Winston felt nervous at such questioning. They actually haven't thought this thorough as the Ancient One was portrayed as an easy going woman who accepts all kind of people at Kamar Taj. They totally ignored the aspect that she was the sorcerer supreme tasked with protecting earth from all kinds of mystical threat. She absolutely wouldn't accept someone with shady background. Good thing was their background was completely clean. But only unexplained part is where did they know of Kamar Taj.

Just as Marcus wanted to come up with some half baked excuse, the Ancient One said smiling,

-No need to forge lie for hiding something that you do not wish to speak about. Everyone has there secrets. Even I have mine. So, here, in Kamar Taj, we are very liberal about hiding personal matters. As long as your intention is pure, and reason is acceptable, we greet everyone with open arms. Welcome to Kamar Taj. Now, how are we going to heal your mind? You yourselves are capable of achieving astonishing feats that no human is capable of achieving. But both you and me realize that it is completely biological and nothing magical about it. Probably all of your race is capable of doing what you can do. But what if I tell you there are humans who are capable of achieving super human feats, even if not to the extends of yours, feat through magical means. What if I told you, magic is real and can be performed through drawing energy from other dimensions, would you believe me?
