13 Concert
[Arnold POV]
I stood there with amongst the rubble with the justice league lying around me. Batman has blood coming out of his mouth, Wonder Woman was bleeding from all over, Aquaman was out cold, Martian Manhunter had both his hands and and legs ripped off, and green lantern's hand was crushed.
"Nostradamus!" shouts Superman. I turn around to find him beaten and bloody. " Listen carefully... I need you to take care of Metropolis, take care of Lois. I'll deal with that monster." he pleads. A tear in his eyes....
I pause for a moment and then open my mouth to reply when suddenly...
"Arnold! Wake up"
_______________________________________________
"Uhh, what the hell" I say waking up from my nap. What a weird dream.
"Sir, it's time" My secretary Jen spoke up.
"Oh yeah, I know." I reply, a little excited.
"What's wrong Arnold, you look a little nervous." she said, with a worried voice. " I hope you are in good shape for the performance."
"Not nervous Jen, psyched. It's my 3 year anniversary after all." I told her. Yup it had been 3 years since I came to this world with my brothers. In that time nothing major happened other than Batman changing Robins a couple of times, the justice league fought swamp thing, Ivy took control of Superman using synthetic kryptonite etc. Oh yeah the Justice league is expanding too. It already has over 20 members.
And then there's me. I haven't made any progress with El but my music career is booming. And right now I'm the biggest star on the planet. Stated by almost every major magazine on the planet. My merch sales rival those of superheroes. And well, as for my system.

Yup, I made good progress on that front. I also unlocked the shop and the memories of my body. It seems he was just an orphan though. Well I made a generous donation of a $1,000,000 to his orphanage after I got a bit richer to clear my conscience. But nevermind that.
"How big is the crowd Jen." I ask her. "There's atleast 150,000 people sir."
"Oh my" I react making a dissatisfied expression." I thought it'd be be bigger."
_______________________________________________
I walk on-stage to the cheers of thousands of people. They're screaming, and calling out my name.
"Helloo Metropolis." I speak into the Mike and the cheers intensify. Ah this is the best feeling. The chills that somehow feel warm, the Goosebumps caused by the people looking on at me. I love all of this.
"Your second favourite celebrity is back. And this time better than ever." I speak up once again. When I do a red line runs through the sky of the open stadium.
"AD! " It reads. It stands for Arnold Denver, my name in my previous life and my stage name in this life.
"Thanks, Superman" I say in a way that the mike doesn't pick up my words. But I'm sure that guy definitely heard it. It seems he was a fan of mine. Ge even came to an fan meetup of mine when I wasn't that big of a name. He came as Clark Kent though, not as Superman. Well, doesn't really matter.
"Now then, let's begin the last show of the Neo tour, right here in the big Apricot.

[3rd person POV]
In the middle of the stage a man was sitting next to a piano. The crowd stands there becoming quiet, as they anticipating the to man begin at any time. The man, Arnold does not keep them waiting as he begins to play the piano. There is a deep silence as the crowd look on awed at the performance.
The man still playing the piano perfectly, begins to sing. " I've paid my dues. Time after time. I've done my sentence, but committed no crime...."
The crowd mesmerized begins to sing along perfectly, as the lyrics of Arnold's latest hit are still fresh in their brain.
Then Arnold moved on to the second song, the third and then the fourth.His dynamic performance echoed through the venue, each note resonating with the crowd's collective euphoria. The thumping bass reverberated, creating an immersive sonic experience. The atmosphere crackled with energy, amplifying the raw connection between him and his adoring audience. The atmosphere was electric, capturing the essence of a musical journey that left indelible memories in the hearts of those present.
This continued on for 2 and a half hours, with neither Arnold, nor the audience, seemingly tiring out. When it did come to an end the audience's cheers only became louder, for one final applause as Arnold bowed and accepted their love.

[ Arnold POV]
Oh man I'm tired as hell. I walk into my room as Jen hands me a wet towel and a cappuccino. "Good work out there Arnold."
"Thanks Jen" I replied sipping my drink.
"Sir, Mr.Brown would like to see you." She informed me as I was laying on my couch.
"Oh Robert? Let him in." I tell her. I owe Robert a ton after all. He was the one who got me my first shot. He was also the one who guided me while I was a newbie in the industry. 'Let's see why he's here.'
