Chapter 150 – Meeting Starlight and Hughie

  Jayr POV - The Boys Universe, Earth, New York - 2022

  I start to b the city for all the Supes using the super cop as a base for my seard soon I identify a few of them that feel simir and fog my senses on one of them, more specifically a male one, I instantly sehe presence of something alien mixed within his blood, c through his body stantly emp it, and I instantly realize that it is the pound V, and at the same time, feeling how it enhahe Supe's body a theory forms in my mind, 'Wait if I remove the pound V presence from the body or even simply ralize would that turn a Supe bato a normal human? I have to test it ter... Hell, if this theory of mine is true then I also create a "cure" for it...'

  While thinking that, I tio search for one of the Supes he Boys, and after a few seds of bing through all the Supes living in New York, I pick up what clearly only be Annee January aka Starlight's presence as it is stantly abs small amounts of electricity from her surroundings.

  I don't immediately teleport by her side, for a very simple reason, at the moment, she is too occupied with getting intimate with someone, most probably Hughie, if something didn't ge from the situation of the sed season, after all, more than a year passed and anything happen in the Boys Universe, like Butcher flipping out and killing Hughie for one reason or another as he isn't the most stable of the people from what I have seen in the show.

  And so while I wait for her and her parto finish, I tio b through the Supes living in this city and try to find Kimiko, but it is truly hard to differentiate her from all the others, as her powers are more subtle pared to Starlight ones, so if she isn't actually healing, I 't reize her from the other Supes as they all have an enhanced physique as base power making them stronger, faster, and harder then the usual humans to various degree plus their unique ability that be more or less spicuous, like the winged degee flying in the air nearby, that seems like he is jerking off while flying beside a pne, something which makes me lose faith in the humanity of this Universe as I start to think, 'Maybe I should just destroy this whole Universe a doh it...'

  But soon I stop those kinds of thoughts, remembering the fact that no matter how corrupted and evil the people of this Universe be, there are still as many good and i people living in it, even among the Supes, the only problem is that most of those with influend power be barely sidered ral at the best and pure shitstain at worst.

  Meanwhile, after 15 minutes where my mind tio wahinking about various other topics, I perceived that Starlight and her partner weren't busy anymore, so, I gave her the time o repose, have a shower, and start making breakfast, before I decide to go there.

  But just as I'm about to teleport, in what is probably their apartment by what I sense, I stop and mutter, "Wait... Telep inside someone's home is way too rude. Sure I want to quickly end this Random Battle and go back to the girls, but I 't be that much rude, after all, Shaina's wedding is still a month or so away, and Tio's due date is a couple of months away... I still have enough time, so there isn't a o rush yet... of course, if after a month there isn't progress, I blow up this p a doh it but until then I have to restrain my impulses!"

  Reag that clusion, I take a deep breath to calm the ay in my heart and focus my senses more on the area around Starlight and then, I teleport in front of the door of the apartment she is currently in.

  Appearing in front of the door, I do not hesitate and quickly push the buttoo the door three times t the bell and wait for someoo answer.

  After a few seds, a caucasi young mahe door, he is 1.86 meters tall, ly shaved, with brown hair and blue eyes, he is surprisingly wearing a business suit, probably getting ready to start his day at work, he looks very simir to the actor portraying him, Jack Quaid, making it easy to identify him as Hugh "Hughie" Campbell Jr.

  (Image Here - Hughie)

  Spoiler

  [colpse]It seems that he is still Starlight's boyfriend and wasn't killed, by Butcher, Homnder, or his new boss Miss Head Popper whose name I actually fot as I didn't think she was important until the sed season finale, 'What actually was her name? Victoria... Secret? Nope... Howlett? her... Saruman? Feels close but no... it isn't that... Oh well, I'll ask him ter...'

  Hughie looks at me fused and a little intimidated by my height as despite being still only 17 I'm close to 2 meters i, about 20 cm taller than him so he greets me and asks, "Good m... W-who are you?"

  I lightly smile and introduce myself with a polite tone, "Good m, Mr. Campbell. My name is Jayr Pucci. Sorry for suddenly disturbing you at su early hour, but I have something really important to discuss with you and Miss January."

  Then without waiting for his reply I gently push Hughie out of the way and walk inside making him shout, "H-Hey, wait! Where are you going!?"

  Hughie's shout clearly arms Starlight, who rushes over yelling, "Hughie! What's wrong!?"

  Soon after she appears in front of me, a Caucasian young woman in her mid-20s, around 1.65 meters tall, with mid-length blonde hair and brown eyes, wearing a dark greeer with ripped jeans, just like Hughie, she looks very simir to the actress portraying her iV shown, Erin Moriarty, of course, she is Anne January aka Starlight of the Seven.

  Spoiler

  [colpse]As soon as her eyes y ohey start to glow together with her hands that she now points at me menagly as she asks, "Who are you!? What are you doing here?"

  I simply smirk and say, "Sorry for being so rude, but I don't want to talk about that kind of topi front of your door."

  At the same time, I use my telekinesis to gently close the entrance door behind a still stunned Hughie, surprising them and making both of them shout out, ""A Supe!?"" while also making Anne reflexively shoot out from her hand a bst of intensely bright light at me.

  Of course, I easily block such a weak bst with my naked hand, and at the same time, I say in a calm tone, "Please do not pare me with those drugged nazi wet dreams, no offense Anne, but what you see is the result of tons of hellish deadly training and hard work mixed with well banced and sometimes deadly nutrition with some amount of fortuitous and at time very deadly ces. Anyway, I mean no harm to you and Hughie."

  Stunned by the fact that her bst was easily blocked, Anne opens her eyes wide and after a few seds of silence, she asks, "What do you mean with you are different? Who are you? And what do really you want?"

  Meanwhile, Hughie mutters, "Are we seriously gonna ighe fact that he said deadly three times like it was nothing?"

  I tio calmly smile, trying my best to project the fact that I intend no harm to them as I reply, "As I said to your boyfriend, my name is Jayr Pucd I only want to talk with you guys about some things and ask a few questions about any notable events that happened sihe nazi Stromfront thing, and I have no problem at telling you everything you want to know about me... But we talk about it ss of water, coffee, or fruit juice? Anything is fine, I have no preference. Just it is unfortable to talk at the entrance."

  It seems that my tone helps as Hughie calms down a little and says, "S-sure, we talk i, I'll lead you..."

  At the same time, Anne also lowers her hands which stop glowing together with her eyes, but she still seems very wary of me probably because her energy bst had no effect at all, even though it had enough power to punch a hole into the wall, but well so could have my piss if I carefully trol the iy, hell, I even cut through metal with it if I truly derise to do so.

  Anyway, Hughie leads me further io what I now learned is his apartment with Anne following behind, 'A big improvement from the sewer-like pce the Boys hid in the sed season.'

  On the kit, I calmly sit on the couch lying in front of the window while he offers me a gss of peach juice, then I thank him and take a sip, after that, I say, "Well, let me introduce myself once more, like I said before my name is Jayr Pucci, with both Italian and Greek nationality as my father is Italian, while my mother is Greek. I'm 17 years old-"

  But at this point, both interrupt me and shout, ""17!?"" I take a look at both and ask, "Something wrong?" making Hughie mutter, "You are just a kid..." while Anne adds, "Now that I take a good look at him... his face still has some tramaturity and he isn't growing a bread yet, only he is so tall and buff, and his attitude is so mature that it is misleading..."

  Hearing that, I chose to ighem and tih my introdu, "Anyway, as I was saying, I'm 17 years old handsome young man who just came to this world from a totally different Universe and with enough power to wipe out this p from existeh a flick of his fingers."

  Following that, the couple excims in perfect synce again, ""Another world!?"" followed by the questions, ""What are you smoking!?/ Do you think you are funny?""

  I calmly take another sip from the gss of peach juid reply, "Is it really this difficult for you to accept? After all, Miss Anne January here glow like a Christmas tree and shoot energy bsts... a's not talk about all kinds of strange powers you gain with a dose of pound V. Moreover, I think that the Multiverse theory also exists in your world, right?"

  It seems that Anne is about to ask another question, but before she do so Hughie asks, "Are you talking about the theory that suggests that our universe, with all its hundreds of billions of gaxies and almost tless stars, spAnneing tens of billions of light-years, may not be the only one. Instead, there may be an infinite number of entirely different universes, distantly separated from ours, all with their own ws of physics, their own colles of stars and gaxies, and maybe even their own intelligent civilizations?"

  I smile and say, "10 points for Ravencw! Wait are there Harry Potter movies and books present in this Universe?" but looking at their fused face already tells me everything I o know and so I let out a defeated sigh and say, "What a sad world... the only media aertai around is basically the Vough's propaganda..."

  Then I shake my head and look back at Hughie and say, "Anyway, yes Mr. Campbell, that is the correswer. In simple words, there are an infinite number of possible universes out there, and I e from one of these universes, one very different from this one."

  Hearing that Hughie smiles, then he adds, "Please stop with Mr. Campbell, you call me Hughie like all the others..."

  At this point, Anne nods saying that I also simply call her Anne or Starlight if there are other people present, then she asks, "Even if what you say, as much as improbable it seems, is true, how do you know about us? And why are you here?"

  Hearing her question, I let out a sigh, and once more I start to expin, "Well, infinite universes mean infinite possibilities, this means that a book, a fairy tale, or even a movie could in fact describe the events that happened or will happen in those infinite possibilities..."

  Anne seems fused by my answer, but Hughie who was drinking some water, instantly spits it out and excims with a pale face as he uands what I mean, "Are you saying that...!?"

  I look at him and nod then I tinue, "I saw before a TV show he Boys that narrates the events of a group of vigintes living in a world full of caricature of superheroes called Supes fighting against a corrupt glomerate whose only objective is raking more money and power over the world no matter the human cost."

  Anne finally realizes the truth and mutters in shod horror of such a possibility, "No way... all my life... a TV show..."

  I give them a few mio digest the news before I tinue, "It isn't as bad as you think. You aren't fake and your will and decision easily ge the "plAnneed" story. Moreover, not everything you ever did or said was shown and more importantly it isn't 100% accurate, after all, the TV show I have seen started with Robin's death and ended with the events of the st year a total of 2 seasons of 8 episode each, do you think that your whole life would be represented? I don't know how many times you and Hughie did it, don't know what is your favorite restaurant or movie."

  This seems to calm her a little but then she decres, "But you did see some unsavory things, right? I work for the Vought Iional, I know how the show business works."

  I do not hide and say, "Yes, I did see what the producer of the show thought was importaertaining, or that gave enough impact."

  And before she could react, I also gave them some information that would surely distract them from the shock of this revetion, "But this also gave me some very important information, like the fact that Homender killed the mayor of Baltimora or was the cause for the tragedy of the Flight 37, or even how he basically created the Super Terrorist to justify the inclusion of Supes in the military... or the fact that Hughie's boss is the head popper Supes and that it seems that there is a e between her and the Vought Iional."

  As expected, the bombs I dropped make them almost fet about their existential crisis as Anne yells, "He did what!?" while Hughie excims in disbelief, "My boss!? Victoria Neuman!!? She is the Head Popper? And works with the Vought Iional!?"

  At this point, they both sit on the nearby chairs in silehinking over all the information they just learned, but soon, the silence is broken by the sound of Hughie's phone which shocks both of them awake.

  Hughie picks up the phone and says, "It's my dad." he then leaves for another room to answer, meanwhile, Anne looks at me and says, "You still didn't tell us the real reason for meeting us. I don't it is only to learn what you missed from the "TV show", right?"

  Hearing that, a smirk forms on my face as I reply, "That's right. The true reason is that I'm going t down the Vought Iional and all the shitstain Supes that call themselves heroes, and I need you to warn Butcher and the others, if they are still alive, to stay still and enjoy the spectacle."

  At this moment, Hughie returns and asks, " you really do it!?" but Anne quickly says, "No! It's too dangerous! You are too young to gh such danger! And Homender is-"

  But this time I interrupt her and say, "Homender is a weak insequential psycho with a god plex. Ae my young age, I have fought people much strohan him." then think about Kiki and his mastery of the 7th Sehat is getting closer to a Gold Saint level, I add, "In fact, I know an 11 years old kid that easily destroy him."

  Hearing that Anne quickly excims, "Weak!? Homender is the stro being oh! No one beat him we already tried that and failed!"

  I shake my head with a smile, then I correct her, "You are wrong, he may be the stro being on THIS Earth! The omniverse is full of infinite possibilities, and in the great scheme of things, he is basically a powerless ant."

  Then I raise my palm and use my Spiral o to gee a proje of my memories to show them the images of some truly powerful individual as I tell them, "You see, I personally know many humans with enough power to easily blow up a p."

  Just fhs, I create and project the image of Yamcha blowing up the moon with a Kamehameha shog the couple at the same time, I expin, "This guy here is named Yamcha, he is a human martial artist living on a different version of Earth, in fact, he is one of the most pathetic martial artist that you will find in his version of Earth..."

  And of course, I 't show Yamcha's image without paying homage to his most iic se, where he is so sure of his victory over a weak Saibamen that he turns his ba it, giving it the ce to lea him and self-detonate, creating Yamcha most iic pose which is even more famous than Kamina's one.

  Then I tinue, "Moreover, the humans of that Universe are really close to the bottom of the food as there are many alien species way strohan them" while showing them images of the Namekian, Saiyan transf into their Oozaru Form, and of course the se of Frieza blowing up p Vegeta with an evil smirk on his face..."

  At this point, Hughie mutters, "That's crazy... And I thought that Homender was invincible..." Anne unsciously nods as she agrees with her boyfriend.

  After that, I stop the proje while thinking, 'Better if I stop here. I wao show them also some image of Supermen, but seeing a glimpse of what Homender could have been if he was at the very least a det human being isn't a good idea.'

  Then I look back at the couple and say, "Anyway, if one of you could kindly tact Butcher and the others ahem to stay calm and safe for a couple of days as I gather all the material o start a shitstorm of biblical proportion that will turn the Vought Iional and most of the Supes into the publiemy number o would be appreciated."

  Hughie nods and says, "I'll do it..." but thearts to panic a little and asks, "B-But what should I do about Victoria? Oh god! How do I a front of her now that I know that she is the Head Popping Supe? If she notices that something is wrong my head will pop!!"

  I quickly reply, "It's very simple, you simply act like you always do. Talk with her with the same tone and posture, treat it like a normal day at work with a serial killer boss that never harmed you until now."

  Then as also, Anne gives him some suggestions using her personal experience of w in a truly toxiviro, I also add, "If you are so nervous about the fact she could pop your head like a balloon, I put an invisible barrier on you to protect you against her possible attack so that you don't have to be afraid of screwing up."

  Hughie looks at me with a hopeful gaze and asks, " you really do something like that!?"

  I don't answer but simply raise my hand and send a trance of pure golden Spiral o towards his body that upon impact spreads all over his body c it in a pure golden membrane before fading away showing a fused Hughie while a worried Anne asks, "Did it work?"

  I simply smirk and reply, "Try yourself... Hit him with one of your bsts, or simply stomp on his foot with all your strength, or even sp him ot... You won't be able to harm him and he won't feel anything..."

  Anne seems unsure for a few seds then she moves her hand and sps Hughie's butt, and as expected he doesn't react to it and even the sound of the impact is a muffled one something that surprises them both.

  Then Hughie asks curious, "How much this barrier endure? And what are the limits?" to which I instantly reply, "Well, this barrier resist as much damage as I desire it. A nuke could fall on top of your head and explode and you would still be fine. And the only limit is that you have to be within the range of my perception so that I'm aware of your situation and make sure that you are safe."

  At this point, Hughie asks, "Okay... so, what is my limit? How far I get from you and still be uhis barrier's prote?"

  I simply shrug my shoulder and show off by saying, "More or less anywhere in this universe, because I'm simply that awesome!"

  After that, I give them a brief summary of my pn ahem my as.

  Finally, the couple is ready and we all start to get out of the apartment to go on with our day, Hughie is to the Federal Bureau of Superhuman Affairs (FBSA), while Anne is going to the Vought Tower the headquarters of both Vought Iional and the Seven.

  But just before we are about to step outside, I remember something and say, "Hughie, wait! I fot to tell you to warn Butcher to trol himself and not act like a murderous asshole, especially now that I'm here to fix this mess of a world." which he nods while looking a little uneasy then we all leave Hughie's apartment.

  Then, on the street, I walk beside Anne and follow her as she leads me toward Vought Iional's headquarters.

  Seeing me calmly walking beside her, she asks, "You know that I 't help you pass through the metal detectors and all the other checks, right? So how do you pn to enter?"

  Hearing her question and seeing the worry in her eyes, I simply smirk and reply with an uned tone, "Well, there are a lot of options... I simply teleport to any needed location, turn invisible, put everyoo sleep, stop time and walk around uerred, knock out aanding in my way, brainwash everyone, and move at the speed of light too fast for ao truly react... the possibilities are almost limitless, so I'll use my most favorite one, I'll walk around like a normal person."

  My auns her, and she starts to mutter, "Teleport... stop time... brainwash... light speed..."

  Then she asks equally shocked and curious, "Wait you really do all of that!? Just how strong you are!?"

  I look at her with a mischievous grin and reply, "Before ing to this Universe, I had a fight with a godly being the size of a gaxy, and while fighti grabbed and threw literal gaxies like shuriken... Just imagine someohat grabs the milky way with its hand and throws it like a fug shuriken... And that was my oppo pying around... Moreover, even that absurd almost inprehensible level of power still isn't a the top of the food in the Omniverse... Are you still worried about a mere Homender?"

  Hearing that, Aops in pce as she mutters in disbelief, "Impossible... such kind of power is already at the level of a God! It just isn't possible!"

  I put my hand on her shoulder and expin, "Anne, infinite possibilities, remember? That means that a Universe where the Gods walk among the men truly exists. My own home Universe is one like that, in fact, I trained sihe young age of 5 to be a Saint, a warrihting in the name of the Goddess Athena to protect the world and humanity from the whims of the ods."
