Chapter 18 - 18 New York City (1/2)

Two days passed since the incident over the North Atlantic Ocean. The majority of the humans on Earth did not notice the massive black beam pierce the stormy sky, and only those in charge of major enterprises which measure energy outbursts knew what had occurred that day.

The cosmic energy emitted, although harmless to humans were detrimental to any other flora or fauna, regardless of the terrestrial or extraterrestrial origins.

Many wanted to try and study this newfound energy in hopes of creating a weapon that could kill ”aliens”, and not harm a single human in the process.

However all their attempts to do so have so far ended in failure.

All of this was unknown to a smiling twenty year old who had moved the last box into the top floor of his new building.

Gray looked off into the distance, and the bright blue sky sat parallel against the New York City skyline, the faint sounds of horns honking and trains running echoed in the distance.

After Gray had ”collected” enough money in Gotham City, he left the crime capital of the world and headed straight for New York. He was requested by the League of Assassins to take care of a crime family in this city, and considered moving here as the memories this place in his past life were very prevalent despite the subtle changes to street names here and there.

He had already made more than ten million dollars in cash sitting in one of the rooms in his floor, and he bought the entire building and still had over eight digits left in cash.

Gray smiled as the slightly fresher cleaner scent of air filled his lungs as he looked down at the streets below him.

”The League can go off chasing whatever name they've given Saber and I can rest for a little while and prepare for the Team to try and take me down. They're just kids but I know that they can definitely hold their own in a fight”.

If the old Gray met even the fourteen year old Dick Grayson, he would've undoubtedly gotten his ȧss kicked. That kid wasn't just trained by Batman, but also had to spar with other members of the Team like Aqualad and Kid Flash, whose superhuman abilities put them a level above the normal human that was behind Robin's mask.

Not that it mattered to Gray how well Robin was coming along. Rider made it a very common theme to question Gray about the fourteen year old Zatanna Zatara, despite his Masters utter disappointment with the famed Hero.

Even Archer, with his renown wasn't immune to the attraction of the sixteen year old Barbara Gordon. Although Archer did have many wives and many lovers, Gray slapped his head against a wall several times glad that no mind readers could hear the things going on his his mind.

But Gray couldn't ask them to stop. He wanted to meet Wonder Woman after all.

”.... And Assassin.....”.

The King of Assassin's presence always seemed to perk up, for lack of a better term whenever the League of Assassins was mentioned. Gray reasoned that it was because of the similarities between its foundations and the Hassan be founded hundreds of years ago.

But Rider just liked to joke that it was because of Talia that the old man wanted to Gray to interact with them more.

Much to the Assassins ire.

The Pseudo-Servant let out a large sigh before stretching his shoulders and returning inside.
