2 Ares

(13 Years later ) 

We currently see a man who looks to be in his 20s, he was shredded with broad shoulders and probably around 6''3 or 6'4. He was wearing a black costume with red on his chest that had the Greek omega symbol, and a red cape. He looked to be battling well more beating down a rip-off version of the rhino. Finishing the battle in less than a minute he was just about to go home when his comms started going off. 

"Ares we need you to go to Washington, the Mauler Twins are attacking the white 

"Yeah, I'll be right there." This was Marcus Grayson aka Ares, and right now he was annoyed. First, he had to battle an army of aliens in another dimension, he had to go fight an alien that came to "conquer" Earth. Then, he had to deal with this pathetic excuse that wasn't even worth killing. Now, he had to go and stop those two shitheads from destroying the White House.

Within minutes he was there seeing the Guardians fighting the Twins. Looking around he sees a car about to hit Darkwing and quickly stops the car from falling on him. "You're welcome." He says while looking at Darkwing who doesn't even say anything and just goes back to the action. "Asshole." He speeds away and punches one of the brothers so hard he goes flying with a broken jaw and gets knocked.

"Listen I'm not in the mood so I'll make this quick and painful." And with that, he uses his super-speed to punch the other brother multiple times that his face becomes unrecognizable. "Honestly I don't know what took you guys this long to deal with them. Anyways, I need to go you guys can deal with the rest of this." He flies away so fast that he breaks the sound barrier with ease and makes it back home in record time.

"Mom I'm home! I'm gonna take a shower." It didn't take him long to shower and change into some more comfortable clothes. Going downstairs he sees his brother and his Mom talking about the attack at the White House. He walks over to his younger brother ruffles his hair and then kisses his Mom on her cheek."Hey Mark. Hey Mom." He received a "Hey!" from his brother and a hug from his Mom. 

"Hi Marcus, I was just about to ask Mark who was attacking the White House." Debbie asks her eldest, who she heard was at the attack. A few years ago he started his hero career as Ares and initially, she was worried that something would happen to him or that he would grow overconfident which would make him make a mistake, but soon she how good he was at saving people. 

"It was the Mauler Twins honestly I don't know how the Guardians didn't take them out faster." He was pissed that he had to be called to deal with those clones when he could have gone home earlier and relaxed.

"You have to remember honey none of them are as strong as you are. Your Dad says you're almost as strong as him now." Now that was true, none of them knew how he became almost as strong as his dad, the only thing his Dad knows is that he'd only get stronger as he ages. Still, it was good since he and his Dad could fight without holding back against each other. Speak of the devil and he shall come his dad just entered the house.

"That's for sure pretty soon you'll be stronger than me. Anyway, I'm gonna shower." Before he could go upstairs Debbie stopped him. "Not so fast. Come here first." They start to kiss each other and he hears Mark groan in disgust while he just looks away.

"Don't make me get the spray bottle." Mark threatens their parents while still watching the news talking about the battle. They stop kissing and look at Mark in annoyance 

"Now let's get you out of that costume." This makes both their kids annoyed at the obvious flirting between the two. "Ugh, do you guys have to talk about this in front of your kids it's honestly disgusting." Marcus tells his parents. Disgusted to hear them talking about this in front of him and Mark. 

"You two should be overjoyed to see your parents passionately expressing their love for each other." His mother says happily. Although he and Mark were anything but happy at the affection they were showing. "You know what I'm just gonna go to sleep. Later Mark." Marcus was too tired to watch this anymore, well more like he was mentally from all the work he had to do recently. 

(10 Hours later)

It was nighttime, and in the Grayson household, we could see Debbie setting up the dining table for dinner. And not a minute later she sees both her sons sit down. "Hey you two, I made some chicken, but I also heated up some authentic German Bratwurst flown-in special today." she tells them. 

"I... had an interesting day." Mark said with a big smile on his face and not a second after he said that their Dad sped inside almost tipping the wine glass if not for his mom catching it. "Sorry, I'm late. Honest to God, a dragon was attacking Hong Kong. I stopped it." Nolan tells them the reason he's late, which gets the attention of his eldest. 

" A dragon. And you didn't think of telling me. I would've loved to fight it." This made Marcus annoyed. He can just imagine how strong the kill the abomination is and wishes it was him that could've killed it. "It didn't take that long to stop it." Now that disappointed him, he thought the monster would have been stronger but it didn't take his dad that long.

"Anyway, Mark was getting ready to tell us something and how interesting his day was." This made all of them look at Mark who looked like he couldn't contain his excitement at what he wanted to say. "Guess who's finally getting his powers?" Now this shocked them, well just he and his Mom, his Dad on the other hand looked more serious than he'd ever seen before. He honestly didn't know if his brother would get his powers even though his Dad told him that Viltrumite DNA is so pure that makes them after a while 100% Viltrumite. 

"Are you sure?" His Dad asked with such seriousness that it was pretty creepy. Mark looks at their Dad before he confirms that he did get them. "Yeah, I'm sure. I threw a trash bag into space when I was at work." His Dad still doesn't say anything, just continuing to stare at his youngest. His Mom then kicks him in the shin making him break out of the weird. 

"That's Great little bro. Now you can help me when I go out patrolling." Marcus really feels happy for his younger brother. For a long time now Mark felt sad and angry that he didn't get his powers as early as he did or even later, but now that he finally has his powers his brother is probably happy that he could now become a hero. 

"This is great Mark, tomorrow I'll try to make some time for training." His Dad said happily, but the way he was seconds ago was concerning. It was like he was looking at a different person entirely and not the loving and caring Husband/Dad that he was. 

After doing the dishes Marcus was about to head to his room when he heard a crash outside the house. Speeding outside he saw his brother inside a crater unconscious. Lifting him onto his shoulder he speeds back inside before anybody can see them and takes Mark back to his room. Before he closed the door he looked at his brother and shook his head at how impatient Mark was. Finally, he was able to go back to his room to his sweet bed and get some sleep.
