The Epic of Leviathan (A Mutant's Ascension)

[POV Reo]

"Bugger me sideways!" Dora gasped in her usual manner. "This is beautiful!!" Dora exclaimed in pure awe when she looked down from the mountains. ​​

"Weren't you the one who didn't want anything to do with mountains?" I asked Dora in a teasing manner. Dora decided to maturely stick out her tongue towards me.

"Grow up Dora, that's unbecoming of a lady" Fleur said and glared at them. Trust Fleur to preach about manners even on mountains, away from any kind of civilization.

Dora rolled her eyes after she heard Fleur, what Dora didn't know that, Fleur only did this with Dora. Fleur was simply amused by Dora's irritation, after all, Fleur only got some reaction from Dora. If Fleur was really uptight about lady manners then she would have been bothering either Nemuri or Rumi. Obviously, Dora was completely oblivious to this... she honestly thought that Fleur was serious.

"So, Luna are you having fun?" I asked Luna who was happily humming a song, while looking at a map. Hearing me Luna finally looked up from the map… Luna was wearing her signature pink glasses which she had brought from the HP World. One of the lenses was glowing blue while the other was glowing red.

She insisted that those glasses were her adventure glasses and an adventure without those glasses can't be called an adventure. Unfortunately for Luna the glasses she brought from the HP World were too small for her. So, Momo had to make the glasses and Luna charmed them before we started our trip.

"Oh yes, this is lovely!" Luna spoke happily. "Even though I have seen all of this beforehand… but seeing it on my own is completely different" Luna said while nodding to herself.

"But why are you using maps? Using magic would have been easy, right?" Natasha asked in a confused tone.

"That's because it's much better this way" Momo butted in from the side.

"Yes, daddy and I always traveled using maps, not magic… it's more fun this way" Luna dreamily spoke and agreed with Momo's statement while nodding her head.

"Food's ready" Rumi announced and all of us gathered around her. Rumi, Jean, Ororo, and Nemuri were responsible for water and food… all of them were useless with food but while hiking we have planned to eat instant food. The four of them could at least make instant ramen or noodles and heat the water.

Yes, we could have brought all kinds of delicacies with us, if we kept the food inside a trunk with a stasis charm on it then we also wouldn't have to worry about the food going bad but Luna and Momo put their foot down. I also agreed with them… Rumi, also supported us and everyone agreed that Luna obviously had a point. Obviously, if we are still eating our regular food then it would have taken a lot of fun away from camping…

Rumi, Jean, and Ororo handed us bowls of instant ramen while Nemuri was filling the water bottle. After a hike of 3 hours, we decided to take a small break and have breakfast before we continued our hike. We have started our journey before the sun rose, so we didn't have time for breakfast. Honestly, I wasn't experienced in Camping… none of us were, except Luna so all of us followed her command.

All of us were wearing winter clothes… it wouldn't have been a problem if we were still wearing normal clothes but Natasha and Jean would have been obviously feeling cold. After all, even though they were meta-humans they still felt temperatures like any other normal human. Yes, it was different for Jean though… she was Phoenix Force's host so she wouldn't have felt the cold and Ororo's powers made her somewhat immune to cold temperatures.

"So, how high are we going to go?" Ororo asked before slurping the ramen broth.

"To the top… at least we should try. I am not saying anything more" Luna said, deciding to remain tightlipped. That was pretty much useless but I think I get where she was coming from… she is able to all of the possible futures from a single point and even a small thing like farting could lead us to a different timeline…

Everyone thinks that time is like a river, but that's not entirely correct. From what I have understood from Luna about time… time is like a group of uncountable interwoven strings that merge at a single point… the present. All timelines or the possible timelines merge at a point… only a single point which changes by each second or if we are being precise, by every millisecond.

Some people will say that the past can't be changed but it can be and sometimes changing the past might lead the future to get shafted. Like it would have happened if the Avengers wouldn't have returned the infinity stones to the Original Timeline.

(A/N: Now, I don't remember who it was but someone asked won't the TVA intervene with the MC and the girls since they are messing with the original timeline?

The answer is NO. The TVA won't intervene because neither MC nor the girls have created any kind of Time Paradox. After arriving in this world the neither MC nor the girls ever once messed with time. Yes, they used Time-Turners to train and have sex but they didn't create a Paradox. It's the same thing that happened with Logan in X-Man in the Days of Future Past, he changed the past but it didn't create a Paradox, it was the same in the movie Avengers Endgame, they took the stones and returned them without creating a paradox.

But when Loki stole the Tesseract and decided to run away he created a Paradox. That is why the TVA decided to intervene… even when Captain America decided to stay in the old timeline and grow old, the TVA didn't intervene. So, it has become quite clear that TVA only intervened when a Paradox happened, then don't intervene when someone travels back in the past and changed the future.

The TVA also won't intervene because according to them the MC is a Cosmic Entity who decided to visit Earth… and whatever he and his girls have done has been done in the current timeline without changing the timeline.)

So, yes. Messing with time is very risky and shouldn't be done if half of the Universe isn't being threatened. Well, I am pretty sure that Thanos will have a huge surprise… I can get my hands on both the Mind Stone and the Space Stone during the events of Avengers 1 which took place in 2012. So, should I let the events play out as they did or step in and take the stones before the shit could hit the fan? Something to ponder on at a later date…

Now, the Infinity Stones are something that I can't leave lying around, as they are too strong for something to be left aside… which means I need a gauntlet or something similar… I would have taken the gauntlet from Thanos's dead cold arms but I am pretty sure that it would be too big for me but I can always morph the gauntlet to fit my hands….

I can also make something for myself from Uru but getting hands-on Uru would be a pain in the ass but I should also try out Vibranium. I have already decided that I will be going after Klaue… since I will be taking the stones from New York there will be no Ultron. Now, what to do about the Power Stone? Well, I know that Morag is in Andromeda Galaxy near the eclipsing binary star. The deep star satellites aren't ready or I would have been able to get the images. So, it's decided as soon as Momo makes the Space Ship I will be making a trip to Morag.

I also don't need to worry about the Reality Stone… after all, if the things play out like they should have been then Jane Foster will bring the Reality Stone to Earth… but I can't keep that hope, after all, I have already fucked the original timeline into Oblivion. So, I will wait and see and if everything gets cocked up. Malekith would be still be bringing the Reality Stone here on Earth. Earth will still remain the converging point of the 9 realms… no matter how I fuck up the timeline that will remain the same.

Now, what to do about the time stone? There is a small chance that the Ancient One will let me have that… well, I don't have a problem with that. She can keep the stone for all I care. Lastly the Soul Stone… fuck that!! I won't be going after that stone. Of course, if Thanos brings me that stone then I will graciously accept the stone… maybe I should point him towards Vormir, I can do that at least. After all, he will be bringing the stone for me.

"What are you thinking about?" I suddenly heard Rumi's voice. Her voice brought me out of my thoughts. Hearing Rumi everyone turned towards me

"I was thinking about some important artifacts" I said cryptically. It's not that I don't trust them or anything… I just don't want to reveal the Stones now. Who knows, Nemuri might go after them thinking that they must be shiny.

Speaking about Nemuri, my eyes found her. She was intently staring at me. Her nostrils flared "Reo, do you know that having sex while camping is a must!" Nemuri gushed out in pure joy and excitement… the others obviously decided not to comment on that, talk about a single-track mind… well she wouldn't be Nemuri if she didn't declare something like this…

(A/N: There will be a few more filler chapters but bear with me. MC will be finally getting together with Jean and Natasha in next few chapters. Ororo still might take some time because there was very small interaction between MC and Ororo till now)
