2 Introducing

Were you talking about another dimension, kid?" - Goliath asked frowningly. Despite the mischievousness of the child, whom Goliath identified as Ben and Garnet, they did not lower their arms from their protective stance. The girl who had been perched cheerfully on the wall continued to cast tired and indifferent glances. Goliath thought a bit disappointedly, "Alright, let's deal with the villain first, then we can think about how I can get back. I miss the days of just fixing people's teeth..."

The little kid kept looking at him like he was some kind of deity, the kid was clearly a fan of heroes. And honestly, he was glad that he was able to inspire youngsters to do good deeds.

Despite the boy's delight, Ben and Garnet were only now beginning to lower their guard. They finally relaxed and their gazes traveled upward, trying to get a glimpse of Goliath.

Ben ( he thought that is his name) , the red four-armed humanoid, began to slowly flap his yellow eyes and said: "Dude, you're a giant!" He put his palm to his forehead, comically raised his head and pointed at him, "And I thought I as Four-Arms was big, but you're just a giant!"

The dark purple woman next to him sighed and added: "I guess Strikes must have teleported you here too."

Goliath nodded slowly walking past them and heading towards the girl reason to the wall a huge red cross, the others followed with a glance, "Yeah, I just finished my last mission as suddenly I was here. Villains have often wreaked havoc, but to reduce a metropolis to a lifeless center hasn't happened in a long time. I was able to find out that there are still people alive in this place," he walked towards the wall, followed by the other three, while the teenager followed him tiredly, not paying attention to the huge difference in height at all. " So you four, I thought it was civilians at first so I could stop Strikes for a while and hurried over to you. "The titan walked over to the wall. He knelt down to get a better look at the huge cross attached to the teen's body. Goliath met the girl's eyes. The titan's frown and the girl's arched eyebrow.

" Good emotion control, not bad. " thought Goliath when the girl didn't even say anything about his height or even blink an eye. The giant blond went back to examining the cross.

Footsteps sounded behind him, it was a boy who ran at full speed to Goliath and stood beside him. First he looked at the colossus in the Hawaiian shirt, and then he got down on one knee in the same pose as him.

Goliath was amused by this.

Nodding to himself he stood up to his full height. He swung his powerful arm and pushed the wall behind which the girl was imprisoned. With his other hand he quickly grabbed the huge cross that was firmly glued to the girl's body, preventing her from falling along with the wall.

Goliath's immense strength proved too much for the wall, and it easily collapsed under his actions. The girl broke free, but expressed no emotion. She clearly didn't care about what was happening as much as she could.

Once free, she relaxed her hands and calmly said, " Thank you. "

"You're welcome. " Goliath replied with a nod.

Stepping back from the already collapsed wall with the boy and girl and addressed them all. "I'd like to know your names, and where we are now. "

The one who was the quietest, the one who didn't care about her condition at all, started first. "This place used to be called 'City of Heroes' a place that lies between dimensions and is intimately connected to them. The inhabitants of this city, knew of Strikes's approach, so everyone from here was evacuated.... " she told without emotion, the last sentence made Goliath feel better.

" Good news. " he interrupted her, his arms crossed over his broad chest. Knowing that no lives had been cut short by this destruction added to the joy. However, it wasn't like Strikes didn't know that... " Finding out that there was no one here, Strikes turned this city into ruins... Pathetic." Goliath shook his head.

In this, he was supported by the others as well. The boy stood again in the same stance and as the titan.

"My name is Raven, from a team of young heroes called Teen Titans! " said the girl more emotionally. And in the process she began to levitate, spreading her arms slightly apart for effect. The girl was clearly proud to be a member of the team, so much so that the emotionless lock gave a slack.

Goliath nodded, clearly in favor of the idea of groupings of heroes. Under his command, however, there were many teams formed for special occasions. At home, besides his Guild, to keep up with the professional business, newcomers also formed teams. Of course it's a bit difficult in the beginning, but for the foreseeable future, such an initiative plays to one's advantage. With a team it is easier to deal with tragedies.

The boy that was very happy to spend time with Goliath, even though for a few minutes he didn't know he existed, started bouncing on the spot again, stretching his arm as high as possible, and trying to get the giant hero's attention. " Can I, can I be next!!!! "

The children's behavior brought a smile to the big blond's face. Their naivety always amused him, and their behavior was hilarious. He loved children dearly, and their crying was his worst weapon. No matter how hard he tried, no matter how many millions he gave to charity, and no matter how many orphanages he built, he couldn't rid the children of their problems.

"Hmm..." Goliath stopped his thoughts, knowing that if he started pondering it would drag on. With a kind smile he turned to the boy, "Sure kid. "

And he had been waiting for this moment. Taking a big breath. " My name is KO, and I work with my friends Enid and Rad at Mr. Gar's store, and he's at the Lakewood Plaza Turbo. We fight villains and sell different things! My dream is to become with the highest level!!! " he shouted it in one breath.

Goliath's initial reaction was one of surprise, his brow furrowing slightly as he processed the rapid-fire introduction from the young boy named KO. As the words tumbled out in a single breath, detailing his name, his companions, and their mission to fight villains at Mr. Gar's store, Goliath couldn't help but feel a twinge of amusement at the boy's earnest enthusiasm.

But as KO's declaration reached its climax with a proclamation of his dream to achieve the highest level, Goliath's stoic facade cracked, a deep rumble of laughter bubbling up from within him.

" BWAHAHAHAHAH! "

It was a hearty, genuine laugh, rich with warmth and appreciation for the boy's unwavering determination.

He even heard the dark purple woman chuckle. A small smile appeared on Raven's face, and the four-armed man smirked.

"Well, KO, it's a pleasure to meet someone with such ambition," Goliath replied, his voice laced with amusement as he gently lowered himself to one knee, with his imposing figure still seeming so formidable and powerful.

With a broad smile on his face, he reached out his massive hand and slowly extended one finger, preparing to stroke the boy's head. Goliath's finger was comparable in size to the boy's entire head, and as he gently patted his head, the man thought he even heard a squeak reminiscent of the sound that rubber toys make. "Truly, children are the sweetest creatures, it's a shame that sometimes people neglect these flowers of life."

Now it was clear why KO was copying him. The boy was trying to learn. And that realization only made Goliath smile more.

The boy was happily enjoying the attention, and Goliath in turn, with tenderness and care, turned his head slightly toward the woman standing next to him and addressed her politely, "And you, Ma'am, what's your name?"

Blinking slightly, she replied calmly, enjoying watching the giant gently handle the child." My name is Garnet," she began, her voice steady and unwavering. "I am a crystalline gem sworn to protect Earth from all forms of danger and injustice. Along with my fellow Pearls and Amethyst, I stand guard over the Earth and its inhabitants.

Goliath listened intently as Garnet introduced herself, and there was a sense of purpose and determination in her words. As she spoke of her role as guardian of the Earth alongside her fellow Crystal Gems, Goliath couldn't help but feel a surge of respect for the woman standing before him.

Though he didn't understand what Crystal Gem was It was either their team or an organization. But something told him that in their group, she was the one who was the leader. Good restraint and proper movements, her reactions and actions. He was right when he assumed she was a skillful rescuer.

Finally, it was the Humanoid's turn. And so far it was the most interesting, for Goliath. Standing up, he jerked his head slightly in his direction and thankfully the humanoid realized he was being addressed.

" Ahem, I'm Ben, well, or Four Arms in that form. I had a watch, an Omnitrix that allows me to transform into various aliens. They were until Strikes somehow made my Omnitrix disappear! " angrily shouted the already last part Ben, raising his hands in the air and starting to grunt.

"If there's reincarnation and other dimensions, I guess there's aliens too, damn... " Goliath thought to himself, shaking his head slightly.
