1 Chapter 1: Killed not by a ROB but by a Rick

I just finished Young Justice season 4. I have to say I was disappointed with the Kryptonian from the future. At first, I thought he would be a great villain since he had some drip but after seeing how they beat him I realized he was just a daddy's boy. He was a waste of potential.

That day I went to bed but woke up in a white room with a white desk in front of me. I was shocked since this felt too real to be a dream and nothing happened after I slapped myself for a minute. Suddenly, I heard a voice coming from the desk. I went towards it but when I turned the chair, behind the desk, there was no one.

"Hey look down!" I heard the voice again and when I looked down, I saw a pickle sitting on the chair. I noticed something familiar about this pickle and something clicked inside once I saw its blue unibrow.

"PICKLE RICK!!!!" I said with a surprise-filled voice.

"Listen, Kid! I'm not your average pickle Rick anymore!" He said while making eye contact. I knew where this was going. "I feel like we've been here before. Have we been here before?" I spoke. He smirked and said, "You see, I have finally realized the legend." I responded. "Oh my god! This Is happening again!" He grinned even harder then spoke, "that's right, I, Rick, have finally become the LEGENDARY PICKLE RICKKK!"

There was a silence in the room before both of us started laughing. He was the one that restarted the conversation. "HAHAHA… It wasn't the full gag, but it was still funny. I'm glad you played along unlike the other ones. Hey Kid, I need you to do me a favor."

"Ok, I'll do it," I said with almost no hesitation much to his surprise. "Y-You didn't even let me finish on what I wanted you to do." I smile and say, "You're a rick, correct?"

"Yeah, so?" he responded. "So… Less sass I give, or question, you the more chance I have to make it at the end without being screwed over." He smiled at my reason and said, "if only Morty had this train of thought our adventures would be 28% less troublesome."

He explained what had happened to him and why he had killed me. He was a Rick that turned himself into a pickle to avoid therapy once and tried to do the opposite to avoid therapy again. He reached Godhood to get away from therapy. Now he wanted to go back but couldn't because of some God rules or something. He was vague about it but what was clear was that he needed to use a loophole he had found to go back into being mortal again. The problem was that loophole required him to get the help of a mortal. I was pissed at first but I guess the more time I spend in this space the less attachment I have for things. He told me, that he had granted three wishes upfront as payment for my predecessor's help but all failed. Those that tried failed because they did not know the world they were in while those that thought they could double-cross Rick and did not try regretted it as Rick could monkey paw their wishes at any moment.

The reason Rick had told me this was the fact that he had read my mind and knew I was not going to double-cross him. I knew that as long as I did my part of the deal, he would not screw me over as I was neither a version of him nor his enemy nor did I ever fuck his daughter. I was in the clear and he even confirmed it.

The loophole was the mind stone in Marvel. I was going to be sent to the MCU where all I would need would be to touch the mind stone once I'm in contact with it for rick to use it to bring his mind into the realm of mortals.

I thought for an hour about my three wishes. After I was ready, I went to him to tell him. "First, I want a modified Kryptonian's physiology. As in I want the appearance of Lor-Zod from Young Justice, all the powers of a Kryptonian but none of the weaknesses such as kryptonite, red Sun, and Magic by making me be able to absorb any type of energy without getting any negative effect of those energies."

"A responsible God would tell you that you are trying to be too OP… Good thing I'm trying to be neither." He said while conjuring a beer out of nowhere and drinking it. Taking it as a sign of acceptance I continued. "My second wish is to be immune to any mind attack, control, and invasion." He simply nodded.

"My last wish- Wait can anyone copy, steal, or cancel my powers?" I said suddenly realizing something. Rick laughed, "I was going to put it like that in case you tried to screw me over but since you won't, I'm giving you this as a freebie *BURPPP* plus I'm starting to get drunk." I was relieved and continued.

"My last wish is to have Kal-El crystal of the fortress of solitude as well as all Kryptonian knowledge."

I was not sure if this was too much, but Rick read my mind and answered my question. "Kid, I don't care about the rule of the wish. That's just what some ROB do to make sure you don't get boring while they watch your adventures. Hell, I could have given you the three O's no problem."

I heard a snap, and everything went dark.

When I woke up, I found myself on the ground. I was in a local park lying on the grass. It took a few seconds to get my memory of this world. It seems like I was a mutant as I read a note from who I could only assume to be Rick.

~You'll be known as a mutant, by now you have full Kryptonian DNA, but you must charge up to get all your powers. I also did you a little favor, I changed the crystal a little bit since the moment you entered you would have been seen as an intruder. For now, they will only think your power is mind immunity or something like that~

I was curious as to whom Rob Rick meant by "them" only to be woken up from my thought by a little girl running at me. When I saw her, I remembered that she was my best friend, Jean Grey. We started becoming friends when she got her powers as I was the only one that she did not hear thoughts from while for me I was a black orphan, and some neighbors were lowkey racist. It started with one kid not wanting to play with me till everyone avoided me.

She brought me to her house as she was going to move and wanted to know if I could come with her since she said I was also gifted. When we arrived in front of her house, we saw two men. They were Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr.

Jean: Look he's gifted too! I can't read his mind so he must be gifted as well.

At first, Charles looked at me with an intrigued look while Erik barely looked at me. I knew that from what he had lived through, he hated all non-mutant the same way though it would increase with the persecution. I sided with the X-men when I watched them but if I'm to be treated as a mutant I would side with Magneto. I was not going to save people that would vote to hunt me down and let's not forget the government that would treat me as a lab rat. It might be the Zod in me, but I would rather conquer than be Conquered. Right now, was not the time to think about it I would have a few years to think of where I would stand.

Charles stared at me more intensely before showing a surprised look.

Charles: She is right. Even I can't read his mind.

Erik was shocked.

Erik: I can't feel metal from him so his flesh and bones. Yeah, he must also be a mutant.

My point was proven as Erik now looked at me with interest bordering warmth. He was still not to the point of dividing Mutant and the rest, but he was getting there. I packed my bags from the Orphanage and went to Jean's house where we went to the Xavier mansion. It was going to be the start of my new life. I already checked that I was indeed in the MCU as there was a Stark Industry. I already had a plan when I made my wish. I was going to get the mind stone during the Chitari invasion. All I needed was to get Loki's scepter and with the time I had to absorb Sunlight along with other energy, I would be able to Omni-man the Chitari.
