A blinding ripple tore across space as Raizen stepped into a new world. The coastline before him was glittering and unfamiliar skyscrapers in the distance. The sharp scent of salt and metal in the air.

[Almighty System – Online]
Location: Earth: 199998 | Year: 2010
Mission Activated: Avenger
Main Objective: Join the Avengers and help during Chitauri Invasion
----
Raizen (thought): Avenger..... I will need influence. Can display powers but that will lead me to SHIELD and one eyed braised egg Nick Fury will never trust me. Its 2010 if my memory is right, Stark is good option he will be suffering from palladium poisoning can use that path then.
He walked silently toward the nearest city.
That Afternoon
A black Audi shot down the Pacific Coast Highway. Inside Pepper Potts juggled a call and a tablet, multitasking like a pro.
Pepper: "Yes, I'll have the reports sent to Tony by tonight wait...."
Just than a delivery truck swerved into her lane. Pepper eyes wide open she tried to minimize the impact by changing the direction.
The crash was minimal due to Peppers quick reaction. The Audi crashed into the guardrail and glass shattered. She had multiple bruises and had little consciousness left.
Moments later Raizen stepped out of the shadows silent and focused. He grabbed the door and pulled it apart and carried Pepper to the side. A brief hum of green chakra pulsed from his hand as he placed it over her. Her wounds healed and breathing back to normal
The sirens began to echo faintly.
Without waiting for thanks, Raizen disappeared.
Next Day – Stark villa
Tony Stark stood in his private lab sipping green drink, dark circles under his eyes.
Tony: "J.A.R.V.I.S. play that footage again."
J.A.R.V.I.S.: "Playback initiated."
Tony watched the figure walk into frame. A boy maybe seventeen, cloaked, calm as he knelt beside Pepper and healed her without tools or tech.
Tony: "Freeze. Enhance."
The green glow from Raizen's hand pulsed with energy definitely not an arc reactor. Not gamma radiation. Not tech at all.
Tony: "That wasn't science."
J.A.R.V.I.S.: "No match found in any global meta human, mutant or military database."
Tony: "If he can heal Pepper maybe he can... Time to go hunting"
Same Night – West LA, Hotel Suite
Raizen sat cross legged on a simple bed in a cheap hotel room. The curtains were drawn, his eyes closed.
A knock interrupted the silence.
Tony: "Room service and by service, I mean questions."
Raizen opened the door.
Tony Stark stepped in with Happy Hogan, who looked uneasy carrying a briefcase.
Raizen: "You found me fast playboy."
Tony: "I'm very rich, very bored and your face was on many CCTV feeds."
Tony gestured toward Happy.
Tony: "This is Happy. He is bleeding due to small car door problem. Show me what you did to Pepper."
Raizen shook his head.
Raizen: "I'm not a performer. Nor a tool."
Tony raised an eyebrow. Then he pulled a check from his inner coat pocket and placed it gently on the side table.
A blank Stark Industries check.
Tony: "Fill in your dreams."
Raizen sighed, then turned to Happy. He extended his hand. A soft pulse of green light glowed from Raizen's hand. The small cut sealed instantly.
Happy blinked.
Happy: "Uh... that was better than stitches."
Tony exhaled.
Tony: "You're legit."
Raizen stood.
Raizen: "I never said I wasn't."
Tony: "Come with me. You saved Pepper and just fixed Happy. I've got an open suite, a bar and a lab filled with toys that might even impress you."
Raizen gave a faint nod.
Later That Night – Stark Villa
The sports car pulled up outside the cliffside mansion.
Tony: "Welcome to your new reality, kid."
Raizen stepped out gazing at the mansion. For now, he would stay in the shadows but the storm he would one day bring had just begun.
