Chapter 4 - I’m a suspect and invasion

After healing, the family gathered, discussing what had happened as news spread into the GTA headquarters. Nolan's room revealed him hooked up to multiple machines.

Meanwhile, Debbie let loose a few tears—she'd never seen him this badly injured. Fear and anger flooded her as she turned toward Cecil.

"We don't know for sure. But whoever did this also killed the Guardians of the Globe," he said, trying to walk out of the room. "Did Donald want to show him something?"

"What do you have for me, Donald?" he asked.

"We're still trying to piece it together, but something else happened. It looks like they were hit with something, and that's why his hands were broken. It's like he was smashing into a brick wall," Donald explained.

"Well, that wall definitely had a name," he said, returning to the information he'd received, pondering infinity and how it managed to slow someone down as they tried to strike him.

"Also, sir, we found puncture wounds on the bodies of the Immortal and War Woman. We didn't cause those—someone was drawing blood from them. It seems the killer is after their DNA," Donald added.

"The first part's easy—probably wanted immortality from the Immortal. I'm not sure about the War Woman," he responded.

"I'm about to call in Sorcerer. I want to have a word with him," Cecil said. Donald nodded, and meanwhile, the teen team, after receiving the call, turned to me. I was sitting on the couch watching TV when they approached.

"Sorcerer, they've requested your presence at the GTA headquarters," the robot announced.

(Do they think I can help figure out if it was someone on my team or something?) I wondered, getting up and slipping into my super suit before teleporting to their base, where agents, armed and wary—usual protocol—greeted me.

They led me into an interrogation room where Cecil himself was waiting and sat down.

"So, what's this about?" I asked.

"The Guardians of the Globe were murdered," he said, and I pretended to be shocked.

"What happened?" I asked, playing along.

"Someone assembled the Guardians, Omni-Man, and other heroes. Probably tried to wipe them all out at once, but Omni-Man survived," he explained.

"Is there anything you'd like me to do? Do you think I can use my powers to help with the investigation?" I asked.

"No, I think it was you," he said, shocking me with his accusation.

"Do you really believe I did it? What makes you think that?" I asked.

"You went quiet two weeks ago and killed a monster single-handedly—using powers we've never seen or heard of before—and you expect me to believe it was just a coincidence that our greatest heroes died in the same month?" he said, aiming to get a reaction.

"First of all, what you're saying is true. Why would I willingly come here? I'm trying to be a hero. I haven't done anything to make you distrust me, and even if I did kill the Guardians, I wouldn't be hurt as well," I replied.

"No, you wouldn't—they couldn't even touch you with your Infinity on. It'd be easy for you to kill them without even dismantling your powers," he retorted.

"See, I can assure you I didn't kill them the way you're suggesting. It's not my style—no guts or door everywhere. That's not how I operate. I prefer a cleaner approach—more pizzazz, not ripping them apart," I stated. He was about to respond when he checked his earpiece.

"Casualties," he announced. "There's an alien invasion in Midtown." the details of what is happening came to mind a teen team fighting alongside Invincible, who was also caught in the chaos, while innocent civilians were caught in the crossfire making invincible freeze up.

he turned back to me.

" there's an occasion going on and the guardians are gone and the strongest man on the planet is down so will continue this conversation at a later date Now go Assist your team." he said.

" yes sir." I said, giving him amoxicillin as I teleported away battlefield. I looked down and things were worse than me waiting Kate What's the clowns everywhere? Just trying to see alive as they got sliced in half cracks, throwing explosives, just trying to fight back with Eve doing the best as she protected civilians.

" I guess it's time to introduce myself maximum effort." I said, jumping down to the ground, sending a massive shockwave as I hit, knocking a few Flaxen's Back.

" there you are glad you finally decided to join the party." yelled Rex

" I got this you guys don't wanna get behind me." I said, thinking I was about to do a dismantle. They all got behind me as I cracked my knuckles and walked forward a few feet. They started Why their lasers at me tanks shedding high energy beams before they even hit me they were stopped by infinity.

" cute." I said, I like symptom back killing a massive portion of their army.

Noticing that there were four portals open I smirked.

" blue" I said, as I like blue spear, glowing with power appear on my finger as I sent it towards the portal all the invaders and their tanks in other direction were soft and pulled together, mingling in a ball of flesh and metal to the middle I said

"Red." I said, materializing a red energy orb finding it at the middle portal the opposite happened, stepping pulled towards that. They were forced away their bodies crashing into buildings in the floor as they were flattened into toothpaste metal grind introduced as all the aliens in the path destroyed turning into the third one I started walking closer smirking.

" purple." I said as a purple energy relief from my fingers bending space around it. Everything else path was completely disintegrated. There was no scream, no agony, no creaking metal just flat disintegration steering at the last batch that went into their portal before closed, though I teleported in front of it walking through as it closed behind me.

" I'm sorry what the fuck just happened." said Rex to them all they did was say a few colors and one of them was smashed into a ball. The others were flattened Into the pavement the last got disintegrated.
