Chapter 13: Emberly
Emberly stood next to her daddy, watching as he stood before a crime scene in Gotham. There were police standing around the bodies, some taking notes, others talking to witnesses. “What do we do now?” she asked, looking up at him.
“Now we wait for their souls. You’ll know them when you see them, Little Flame,” her daddy said.
“What happened?” she asked, looking back at the scene.
“A man stopped the Wayne’s as they were leaving the theatre. He tried to rob them, but it went wrong. He killed Mr. and Mrs. Wayne, leaving their son an orphan. That’s him over there, sitting on the stairs,” Daddy told her, kneeling down so that he was level with her.
“That’s horrible!” Emberly said, her eyes wide with shock.
“Yes, it is,” he agreed. “Look there, Little Flame, you see the little light coming from their chests?”
She nodded, and moved closer, “Now what?” she asked, one of her hands moving towards the light coming from Mrs. Wayne.
“Now we guide the souls. Go on, Little Flame, you can touch it.”
Doing as her daddy said, she let her hand touch the light of Mrs. Wayne, then stood quickly when the light became Mrs. Wayne. She looked up at her and smiled, “Hello, I’m Emberly and this is my daddy. Everything is going to be ok now,” she said.
“Everything is alright sir. If you’ll come with us, well take you to your next place,” Daddy said to the man.
“What about our son? Bruce, we can’t leave him,” Mrs. Wayne said, looking at her son who was now talking to a police officer, at least Emberly thought it was an officer.
“It seems that he will be in good hands,” Daddy said as he nodded his head towards the scene.
“Alfred!” the boy shouted.
“It’ll be alright, Master Bruce,” the man said, hugging the boy.
“It’s all my fault, Alfred. I killed them. If I hadn’t gotten so scared, then we wouldn’t have had to leave,” the boy, Bruce she told herself, cried into his chest.
“No,” Mr. Wayne said, “It wasn’t your fault, Bruce. Things just happen is all,” he moved over to his son, placing a hand on his shoulder. Mrs. Wayne moved over to them, hugging her family.
“Why do they do that, if the living can’t feel it?” Emberly asked Harry.
“They may know that their family may not feel it, but it’s about closer, Sweet One. It’s their way of saying goodbye.”
“Oh, ok,” Emberly looked at the family. The boy, Bruce, still crying in the man’s arms. Mr. and Mrs. Wayne moved back from them, wiping at their eyes. She heard them whisper good bye, and Mrs. Wayne kissed Bruce’s forehead.
“Come along, Master Wayne. Let’s get you home,” the man, Alfred said, taking his shoulder, and leading him to the waiting car.
“Is it time to go now?” she asked, watching as the car drove off.
“Yes, Sweet One, it’s time to go,” Daddy said as he moved over to the Wayne’s. “It’s time for us to go now. Your time here is limited. Where ever it is you go from here, you will still be able to watch over him,” he told them gently.
Emberly walked over to them as well, taking Mrs. Wayne’s hand, “It’ll be ok, I promise,” she said with a smile, and with a nod from her daddy, they left the World of the Living, guiding the souls of the Wayne’s to their next destination.
~*~Time Skip~*~
Emberly looked around her. Daddy had brought her somewhere new and they were floating in space, with all the stars and the suns, and the planet that Daddy had told her was dying. Suddenly, she saw a rocket blast past them, heading out into the unknown, going somewhere where they might be able to survive.
“We’re at the planet Krypton. As I told you before we left, their planet is dying, and I’ve brought you here so that you can see what needs to be done to guide all the lost souls. Death is here, as well as many other of his Grim Reapers,” he told her.
Emberly nodded and followed him as they moved closer, “And the ship that went past us?” she asked.
“A lone survivor, he will have lost his family and his culture, knowing nothing of who he is. His name is Cal El, the last of his people.”
“That’s so sad,” she said, as she watched the planet fall apart. “All those people lost, how did it happen?”
“Their planet’s core was unstable. It’s nearly the end now, then we have a lot of work ahead of us,” Daddy told her. She nodded and looked back at the planet as it finally came to its end. She felt a tear roll down her cheek. It was sad to see so much life lost and there was nothing they could do, but to make sure the souls found their way to their afterlife.
Emberly turned her head to look behind her, in the direction of the ship the escaped. The poor little boy that got away had lost everything. She could only hope that he was able to find a new family and to be able to learn who he is.
Turning back to the lost Krypton, she followed her daddy, seeing the Reapers, and occasionally Death would appear. She listened to the instructions given to her and helped to usher the souls to their afterlife.
~*~Time Jump~*~
“Aliens are real? I mean monster’s, creatures, like these,” Emberly said as she watched the destruction happening to New York City. She looked up to the sky, seeing the portal that brought the creatures here, to a world that was similar to her own, but wasn’t.
Dad chuckled and looked down at her, “Yes, Little Flame, these types of alien do exist.”
“It’s so weird, being on Earth, but not my Earth,” she said, looking around. There were Grim Reapers here, like there had been several years ago at Krypton, just not as many and Death was somewhere else.
“Yes, every Earth I end up on is a little different, no two being the same,” He told her.
“So, why are we here?” she asked, watching the Superheroes fight the aliens.
“You see the man in the red and gold suit?” he asked her, pointing at the flying suit.
“Yes, isn’t that Iron Man?”
“It is. We are here for him.”
“Is he going to die, then?” she asked looking at her father. She may still look like a nearly 6-year-old, but it has been many, many years since she had died.
“No, we’re here to make sure he doesn’t.”
Emberly turned and looked at him with shock, “We’re going to make sure he doesn’t? How? I thought we couldn’t interfere.”
Dad chuckled and ruffled her hair with a smile, “Normally no, but Fate has asked us to do so, therefore we’re to push him back through the portal before it’s too late.”
Emberly nodded, remembering when he had told her that there are times when Fate would ask the Master of Death for such assistance. She watched as the battle waged and the Reapers guided the lost souls from around the city. Then she suddenly saw a missile and a red and gold streak speed past, then it was suddenly turned up towards the sky, to the portal where the aliens were pouring in from.
“Come, Little Flame, it’s time to interfere,” Dad said, taking her hand and transporting them to the other side of the portal, where they saw Iron Man letting go of the missile and falling.
“The portal is closing,” she said, pointing to it.
“Yes, go give him a push. Strong enough to get him through to the other side, but not too strong because gravity will grab hold of him once he is through.”
She nodded and was falling with the mortal. She put her hands on his chest and pushed. She continued to follow him, watching the portal beneath them. She would make sure he made it through. His time has not yet come.
Seeing that the first push wasn’t enough, she once again placed her hands on his chest and gave one last push, just as the missile exploded behind her. She watched as the portal closed around them, and then she saw blue skies and a brilliant flash of light that blinded her momentarily.
Once her eyes were clear, she saw that she was on Earth once more, and Iron Man was falling. “You did wonderfully, Little Flame. You should be proud of yourself.”
She smiled brightly up at her dad, “You really think so?” she asked.
“Yes, look.” She followed the direction where her father was pointing just in time to see the green giant, The Hulk she remembered from the people shouting earlier, jump and catch him before he hit the ground.
Emberly grinned, pleased that she was able to complete her first task solo. Looking back up at her dad, she asked, “Where will we be going now?”
“Looks to be a commotion on a bridge not far from here. Let us go see what is happening.”
~*~Elsewhere in NYC~*~
Emberly couldn’t stop laughing. Sure, they were there to collect these souls, but really, the hilarity of the situation was something that made it hard for her and her dad to collect them and leave.
According to Dad, the man in the red and black suit and the two katanas strapped to his back and liked to talk out loud as if to an audience, was a man named Wade Wilson aka Deadpool. Apparently, he was looking for another man named Francis for some slight that he had done in the past.
Emberly figured it had something to do with him wearing spandex and going around killing people in his search and becoming known by his alias. AS she watched, both of them holding their sides as they watched, when suddenly, two new players joined the scene.
“Then you know what’s coming. I’m about to do to you what Sugar Ray did to the mid-nineties,” Deadpool said to Francis, still stuck to the bridge by one of his katanas.
Just as Deadpool pulled his fist back to punch Francis, and having seen Wade’s face under the mask, she could understand his anger, his hand hit the big Russian that was covered in metal. He turns his hand, feeling the crotch his hand hit, Emberly giggling uncontrollably when she hears him ask, “Dad?” only for him to be thrown through the air to the other side of the bridge.
“Oh...oh, I’m so glad he came over here!” Dad said, laughing next to his adopted daughter, “This is bloody amazing!”
“Okay. Let's pro-con this superhero thing. Pro: they pull down a gaggle of ass. Dry cleaning-discounts, lucrative film deals both origin stories and larger ensemble team movies. Con: They're all lame-ass teacher's pets,” Deadpool said, seemingly to no one.
“You know I can hear you,” Giant Russian metal guy said, confused.
“I'm not talking to you. I was talking to them,” was the reply as he pointed in their direction, causing both Emberly and her dad to widen their eyes, their laughter dying mid chuckle.
Emberly looked up at Dad and asked, “Can he see us?”
“I, I don’t know. I don’t think so, but you never know…” Dad said, curious.
The Russian turned to Francis, saying, “Stay right here.” Turning back to Deadpool, he continued, “You've been warned before, Deadpool. This is a shameful and reckless use of your powers. You will both be coming with us.”
“Look, Colossus! I don't have time for the goody-two-shoes bullshit right now! And... you are?” Deadpool asked, looking at the girl.
“Negasonic Teenage Warhead,” was the reply
“Negasonic Teenage... What the shit? That's the coolest name ever! So what, you're like his sidekick?”
“No, trainee,” the giant now known to them as Colossus informed him.
“Let me guess. X-men left you behind on, what, shit detail?”
“ What does that make you?” was her sarcastic reply.
“Pretending you're not here, Negasonic Teenage Warhead. Trade names?” he asked, punching Francis.
The girl turned to Colosus and asked, “Can we go?
“Look! I'm a teenage girl! I'd rather be anywhere than here. I'm all about long, sullen silences, followed by mean comments, followed by more silences. So, what's it gonna be, huh? Long sullen silence, or mean comment? Go on,” Deadpool encouraged the girl.
“You've got me in a box here,” and Emberly started to giggle again.
“This is better than anything we’ve ever done, Dad! Can we come back and just watch after we’re done here?”
Dad chuckled with nod, “Oh, absolutely, Little Flame. This is priceless entertainment!”
“ We can't allow this Deadpool. Please, come quietly” Colossus said.
“ You big, chrome, cock-gobbler!”
“ That's not nice.”
“ You're really gonna fuck this up for me? Trust me. That wheezing bag of dick tips has it coming! He's pure evil! Besides, nobody's getting hurt!” Deadpool insisted just as the body that became a pancake earlier, falls off the sign. “That guy was already up there when I got here.”
“Wade, you're better than this! Join us! Use your powers for good.”
Deadpool tossed a metal disk at Francis, hitting him in the face. “Heads up.”
“Be a superhero!” Colossus exclaimed.
Deadpool looked at Colossus and said, exasperated, “Listen, the day I decide to become a crime-fighting shit-swizzler, who rooms with a bunch of other little whiners, at the Neverland mansion of some creepy, old, bald, Heaven's Gate-looking mother fucker, on that day... I'll send your shiny happy ass a friend request. But until then, I'm gonna do what I came here to do. Either that, or slap the bitch out of you.”
“Wade...”
“Hey…” the girl said, trying to interrupt, but was cut off by Wade.
“Zip it, Sinead!” he called out, pointing his finger at her.
“Hey, douchepool!”
“And I hope you're watching!” turning around and pointing at Francis, who is no longer there, and gasps, slapping his hands on both cheeks in shock.
“It’s about time he noticed,” Emberly said. “I wonder if he finally finds him and we get to collect that soul when Wade is done with him.”
“I’ll be sure to inform Death to keep an eye on this world, on Deadpool specifically, so that we can do just that,” Dad told her, moving to sit on the bridge barrier, Emberly following him.
“Quite unfortunate.”
Deadpool looks back and forth between Colossus and where Francis was. “That does it!” he shouted and jumps up, hitting Colossus's head and proceeds to break his hand. “Oh, Canada! That's not good.”
“Wade, please,” Colossus begs.
“Cock shot!” and with his good hand, punches him in the crotch, breaking his other hand. “Oh, your poor wife!”
“You really should stop,” He tells Deadpool, not amused.
Holding his broken hands in front of him, Deadpool states, “All the dinosaurs feared the T-rex,” flips up into the air, breaks his foot on Colossus's head, the girl laughing. “Ah! I promise this gets worse for you, big boy!”
“This is embarrassing. Please, stay down,” he asks Deadpool, who obviously ignores him.
“You ever hear of the one-legged man in the ass-kicking contest?” Deadpool says as he gets up, hopping on one leg, holding his other three broken limbs up.
“Do you have off switch?” Colossus asked.
“Yeah, it's right next to the prostate. Or is that the on switch?” was the sarcastic reply.
Dad roars, laughing so hard at the response, that Emberly looked at him as if he lost his head. “I don’t understand? How is that as funny as you seem to be making it?” she asked.
“Your…your too young to un…understand, Sweet One. When y…our older, I’ll ex…explain it to you!” he said through gasping breaths and renewed laughter.
“Enough!” Colossus shouts, hitting him into a car, handcuffs and drags him along. “Let us go talk to the professor.”
“McAvoy or Stewart? These timelines are so confusing. Dead or alive you're coming with me!”
Once it seemed the entertainment was over for the time being, Emberly stood, holding her hand out, “So, you’ll have Death keep an eye on him?”
Dad took her hand and stood, “Yes, I’ll be sure to tell him, you needed worry.”
“Good,” she said with finality, “Now where?”
“Home, Sweet One, we will be going home. Three years have passed there, and it is time for me to stop running, and for you to meet my family,” and with that, he took her hand and transported them back to his office to prepare for their trip home. Emberly was excited. Dad had told her of all these stories about his friends and family he left behind.
