Fury was the first to respond and said, "How the hell are you only two years old?"
Ezekiel smiled as he responded and said, "I am about an hour old, it's the boss who is two years old."
Everyone paused at that comment and looked from Ezekiel to The Ancient One. She just nodded her head and said, "I am not sure how it actually works, but this is a clone of some kind. It is slowly using up its life force and will only last about a week."
Ezekiel smiled and said, "That is about right. As long as I don't use any of my skills, I should last for about seven more days."
Steve looked a little off and asked, "You are fine with only living for a week? Is there something we can do to help you?"
Ezekiel laughed before he said, "I thank you for your concern Cap, but I am not really alive in the normal sense. All of my memories are a copy from the boss and when I disappear, he will receive all of my memories."
Fury spoke up next and asked, "Since you are a clone, is this what you will look like when you are older?"
Ezekiel smiled and said, "No. I have no idea what I will look like when I am older. This is just a transformation to hide my true appearance, so you don't know what I really look like."
Fury looked like he was about to speak again, when Steve cut him off and said, "Well it's good to meet you Ezekiel. Would you like to join us for lunch?"
"I appreciate the offer but I don't need to eat. But The Ancient One might take you up on that."
The Ancient One shook her head and said, "I am fine, thank you."
Ezekiel looked around the room for a moment and took in the small mess hall. It had a kitchen area at the far end and spread out around the main area were round tables with chairs. Only two tables were currently being used, Peggy, Steve and Hank were at one table. While Fury and his agents were at another table eating. Ezekiel walked over and sat down at the table with Fury. He looked at Coulson, then Maria and asked, "You two are only sitting at this table because he is your boss, right?"
Fury stopped eating and glared at Ezekiel as everyone could hear Peggy chuckle slightly from the other table. Coulson just did his patented smile, while Maria just continued to eat like she didn’t hear anything. Ezekiel smiled and sat back in his chair and said, "Don't worry, Fury. I can keep you company."
"Good, maybe you will answer a few questions while you are here."
Ezekiel nodded his head and responded, "I don't mind, but I won't answer everything or anything at all, depending on what you ask about."
Fury pushed his plate aside and asked, "How much do you know about S.H.I.E.L.D.?"
"Probably the same amount as you do. But possibly more, since I know about things that will happen in the future."
Fury frowned a little and asked, "I know you said you wanna help people, but what is your true endgame?"

"To help protect the world and make it an overall better place to live for all of humanity."
Fury smirked and said, "Lofty goals for a kid. How exactly do you plan to pull that off?"
Ezekiel smiled and said, "Protecting the world I am already working on. It's why I had you find Steve first. As for making the world a better place, I have a lot of idea's. but first I need to start purging all the corruption in the governments throughout the world."
Fury scuffed at that and asked, "You think you can clean up the governments of the world? What are your plans? Kill everyone who is corrupt? Make yourself ruler of the world somehow?"
Ezekiel laughed and said, "Those are definitely ways I could do it, but I have a much better way to make wide reaching changes in the world. It will just take a while to set everything up."
Peggy looked a little concerned and asked, "How exactly are you planning on doing that?"
Ezekiel smirked and said, "By using something that hasn't been invented yet and the voice of normal people to effect sweeping changes."
Fury slapped a hand down on the table and said, "That didn't answer either of our questions. What is your plan and what are you making to help with it?"
Ezekiel shook his head and said, "I will tell you that later, once it is up and running."
Both Fury and Peggy looked like they were going to say something, when Steve cut them off and asked, "What kinda changes do you plan to make?"
Ezekiel smiled and said, "Now that is the kinda question I will answer. It's simple, I want a better quality of life for people. I would like free and better healthcare for everyone. Better education for kids and adults. Housing for everyone, so we don't have any homeless people. Also I want to integrate meta-humans into society. To make them seem normal and not something to fear."
Steve nodded along to most of what Ezekiel said, until homeless people and meta-humans were mentioned. He looked at Ezekiel and asked, "There is a homeless problem? Also you said meta-humans, I know what mutants are. But what are meta-humans and also, what are inhumans? No one here has heard the term before."
Ezekiel pointed at Steve and said, "You are a meta-human, so are mutants and inhumans. There are a few other types that would fall under the same category such as the boss, but mutants and inhumans are the biggest groups. Inhumans are a group of people who were experimented on by the Kree about seven hundred and fifty thousand years ago. They had powers and so do their current descendants. As for people being homeless, just look around most major cities. Heck in New York City there is a whole community of mutants that live in the sewers."
Fury looked the most concerned about that and asked, "The Kree were here that long ago? Also how sure are you about a group of mutants living in the sewers of New York City?"
"Yes they were, but they left after a while and have left us pretty much alone since. Besides a few exceptions, like in 95. As for the mutants, I am about ninety percent certain, but you don't need to worry about them. Most of them don't have powers, so much as bad mutations. Weird colored skin, scales, slime, fur, honestly most of them struggle just to live with their mutations."

"How have the Inhumans stayed hidden for so long? They must have a pretty big population at this point."
Ezekiel looked at Hank and said, "They mostly stay hidden, but I am sure the few that people have seen were mistaken as mutants."
Fury shook his head and said, "So what, you wanna try and make some perfect world utopia? I don't know what kinda world you came from, but this world is full of scared, judgemental, un-trusting humans. Which will make your goal almost impossible."
Ezekiel laughed and said, "Almost impossible, doesn't mean impossible. It will be difficult, it will have set backs, it will have people that are against it. But as long as I don't give up, it will happen."
Fury sighed before he said, "Great, I am working with a kid who is delusional."
Steve spoke up and said, "There is nothing wrong with wanting to make the world a better place and trying to help your fellow man."
"Great, there are two of them now."
Coulson spoke up and said, "Honestly it's not a bad idea sir."
"You stay out of this fan boy."
Peggy laughed before she said, "Idealism isn't a bad thing to have Fury. I like Ezekiel's ideas myself, it just depends on how he tries to implement them."
The Ancient One nodded her head and said, "Honestly speaking, from someone who doesn't normally mess with the mundane side of the world, Ezekiel's ideas don't sound bad overall. Who doesn't want a warm place to sleep and food to eat? Who wouldn't like to just live their lives in peace?"
Ezekiel smiled and said, "Exactly, who wouldn't want those things? It's something so simple, but yet so many people are missing one or more of those things in this country alone. The country that everyone looks to as a leading example of the free world."
Fury smirked and said, "The U.S.S.R. fell in 91, that term is dated now."
"That's not the point Fury and you know it. If you don't wanna help with my other plans, that is fine. I honestly didn't expect help with everything I wanted to do."
Steve spoke up next and said, "We can discuss those plans later, I wanna know about Bucky. What is the plan for rescuing him."
"I still need to locate the facility he is located in, but I do have a few ideas on how to get him out. The first one depends on how much The Ancient One wants to help us."
Ezekiel and everyone else looked at The Ancient One, she smiled back and asked, "Tell me your idea and I will let you know."
"Once I find the location you port a small group close by the facility, then you pull everyone from inside the facility into the mirror dimension. Bucky and the other super soldiers will be frozen, so they shouldn't be pulled in. We walk in and take Bucky, then set the facility to explode and set the super soldiers free. Toss everyone back into the facility and it will look like the super soldiers got loose and caused the destruction of the facility."
The Ancient One nodded her head and said, "It's not a bad idea, but I don't think I could pull that many people into the mirror dimension at once. Small groups would be easy enough, but even my power has limits."
"Good to know. After I have found the location we could scout it for a few days from the mirror dimension and figure out the best time to attack. Then we could pull everyone from say the communication and security rooms. I could disable their systems so no one would know what is going on and we could slowly sweep the base clean by pulling them into the mirror dimension. Afterwards we set it up like I said."
Fury spoke up and said, "You think it will be so easy? Just take out a bunch of trained soldiers, rig a place up to explode, and Hydra are going to think their super soldiers were the cause?"
Ezekiel smiled and said, "Super soldiers that they have frozen because they can't control them? Yes, I think they will believe it just fine."
Ezekiel did a few hand signs and a small cloud of smoke appeared before a copy of Fury but with an exaggerated giant afro appeared in the chair Ezekiel was seated in. He looked at everyone in the room for a second before he looked back at Fury and said in Fury's voice, "But if I pretend to be the base commander and send out a call for help before we blow the base?"
Fury looked like he was about to explode, while everyone else was trying not to laugh. Even The Ancient One had a slight smirk on her face. Steve actually held it in the best and said, "I think that plan would work well, but you also said you had a few ideas on how to get him out. Would you like to explain those and we can figure out which one will work best, or maybe a combination of your plans?"
Fury spoke right after and said in a calm voice as he slowly reached into his coat, "I will give you ten seconds to change back, before you get hurt. One. Two."
The Fury with the ridiculous afro laughed and said to Fury, "You know if I change back, it will shorten my life expectancy."
"Eight."
Fury made some hand signs and changed back into Ezekiel and said, "You have no sense of humor, Fury."
Fury glared back at Ezekiel and said, "You would need to be funny, first."
Ezekiel placed both hands over his heart and said, "You know words hurt the most, right?"
"You don't look hurt at all."
The Ancient One spoke and said, "Children can we get back on track please?"
Fury frowned at The Ancient One as Ezekiel laughed, then looked over at Steve and said, "The first part of my other plan is to see if I can convince two old friends to work together again."

The Arcane Gunslinger
A lazy celestial being's mistake leads to Sergeant William Remington, a decorated member of the Coalition Marines, to be placed into a new body. His old life aboard the Valkyrie, an interstellar destroyer has also been replaced as he finds his new body in an unknown world. Where he learns of magic, skills, the system, helhorses, and slinging lead with ancient revolvers. Initially, he is skeptical of his new norm but the desire to survive leads him to try to earn a living while he figures out what just happened to his life. He's a fighter but far from the elite, a grunt with some experience. But what better way than to fall back to what he's familiar with, weapons and going after criminals and rebels. With the added challenges of monsters. This is my first Litrpg writing. It's a wild west fantasy setting with the MC taking a role as a gun-slinging bounty hunter in a world of magic and monsters. Hope you enjoy it. UPDATES AT 3PM EST ON MONDAYS AND THURSDAYS! Warning. The story has a slow start because I'm trying to keep my MC realistic. It takes him some time to adjust to his new surroundings, start to make some friends, and really get into the swing of it. I kind of think it's dumb when an isekai's MC manages to blink twice and suddenly adapts to their new world without any sort of struggle or learning period. So not doing that but don't worry Will may be confused and a bit unfocused at first but he'll grow into his own. Also using it to practice my digital artwork... which is far from par but improving. Keep an eye on author notes for maps and depictions of monsters and characters.

Re-Re:Hammer
Your average Reborn Game System story, similar to The Gamer and Solo Leveling. Written for fun rather than novilization like the others, so it is smaller and less intense. It is set in an AU Warhammer based on a slightly modified version of Warhammer Fantasy's End Times.. So you might notice names and events but don't expect it all to go the same way. And the Main Character is not the only Player in this game~ I'm kind of a catastrophe when it comes to ethic and drive. So don't be alarmed if there isnt an update for a week or three. Or if there is three updates at once. It's a rewrite of the Rehammer that is around, which means the start is mostly the same with some small changes. Chapter 15 is the first fully new chapter of the book. though Chapter 14 has a large addition. You effectively can skip to that and not missing anything major if you read the old one, if you don't wanna rewrite.
