Vol 2 Ch 4

At the moment, Loki was really thinking about his future. Now that he was free, he was not sure what to do. Before, he had clear goals that he needed to achieve. SO for the moment, Loki had decided to go outside for a walk. He had gotten a small apartment to himself after the entire excitement about him had died down. When people had found someone well normal and not well so different from them. He had been mostly ignored.

Sure, there were still some mentions of him but he was just one person among millions living in the city of metropolis. He was no one special or of any concern to anyone as far as they were concerned.

Taking out a thermos, he drank some water to quench his thirst. He was wearing a green hoody and some jeans as he was trying to think about what to do.

He came across a homeless guy being harassed by some guy.

"Hey old man, you don't have a house. I am sure that you den't need this money." He had said as he had picked up the guys can and emptied its content into his hands. "Ah, just 5 dollars" He said as he counted the coins.

"Well, consider this a tax or living on public property." He had said as he had pocketed the coins.

A vicious smile had come over Loki's face. As the guy had passed him, he had pick pocketed him. Taking his entire wallet. Taking all the cash out, it was about a 100 dollars. He took 5 dollars and placed them in his own pocket.

Giving the remaining 95 dollars to the homeless guy. He made a shushing motion. The homeless guy had nodded and had put the money into his boot.

'Well, that was my good deed for the day done.' Loki thought to himself as he threw the guys wallet into the trash. Getting all those documents again would be a hassle. A little bit of balance in the world.

Looking at the time, Loki had returned to his own dwelling.

He was working on a few armors, right now his Tobi armor was soon to be completed. He had already placed a lot of seal on it to avoid detection. For x-ray vision, heatvision and a variety of others. Wearing this, he would be nothing. He had taken out his mask and places it onto his face. An orange spirally mask that he wore while he was in the Akatsuki. From this moment on, he would be Tobi while he dawned the mask. The robe and clothes that he wore would not fly akatsuki colors this time. No, he had decided to paint them green. Green was his favorite color after all.

He would bring a semblance of balance to this world in his own way.

It was time for him to train once more. He had used Kamui to travel to the harbor. There, he had found an abandoned dock used by no one . It was slowly falling apart. Loki had mastered the tree walking exercise and now he was doing the water walking exercise. Several times after either using too much chakra and shooting off and using too less chakra and sinking. Loki finally managed to get a partial hang of it. The moving waver were still causing too much trouble for him. Loki had lost any track of time while he was training, as he looked up. He realized that it was almost morning already.

He was also making a variety of seals for his apartment. Mostly consisting of Detection seals, he had used his own chakra as a marker so if any foreign person entered. He would be alerted to their presence. The place where he had placed his equipment, he had some seals that averted detection. Causing people to naturally give no attention to that place. Loki was also looking for a more permanent base of operation for himself. But he was afraid to decide on a place yet due to the Prescence of superman.

Loki had stretched himself and had used another kamui, his entire body being sucked into his eye as he once more found himself at home. There was alot of stuff that he had to do for the moment. He was already working in correspondence with a few professors and helping them decode Old Norse. For his work, he was being paid handsomely. There were a few more notes that had arrived for him by e-mail. Loki had begun to work on them.

He was looking at the news and the city which attracted most of his attention was called Gotham. It seemed to be a power keg of crime recently. Apparently, there was Gotham an year ago which had been a hot bed of crime. Until there was a DEA, what was his name again, Ah right, Harvey Dent who had tried to stem the tide of crime. For this insolence, mobsters had attempted to kill him leaving half of his face scarred. He became two face. There were a list of other villains with a variety of powers and specializations that were local to the area.

There was the Joker, a man with no past who just was chaos. No motivation for what he did , just pure chaos. Each time a reason was asked, he had given a different reason with a smile on his face. Loki had long ago decided not to goto that city unless it was absolutely necessary. There was nothing that was gonna convince him to go there.

Still, his chakra control was still atrocious. He may now understand what Naruto feels like. Having too much chakra without control may not necessarily be that much of a good thing. Loki had begun to realize.

The sharingan was truly a cheat, Loki as obito had lived for a numerous amount of years with the akatsuki and had the opportunity to copy alot of their techniques and jutsus. Loki can with full confidence say that he may have witnessed almost all jutsus there may ever have been. And he also had the capability to use them as well.

There were a variety of heroes present here as well, there were two that he knew off one was batman and the other was superman. The Light and The darkness. Day and night. One inspired Hope and the other inspired fear. One mortal and one immortal.

Loki was sure that there were other as well, they just had not revealed themselves. Green arrow and canary were some emerging heroes who had not gotten much notoriety. There was also Flash who resided in central city. The man with access to the speed force. There were just as many villains. Some of the more public ones were Grundy, Joker, and the most public one of them all was Lex Luthor. A guy with an ego a mile wide. As Loki was spending his time thinking.

For the moment, there was much to consider. He was waiting for an opportunity to take advantage of. He still had to get his GED. It was time to study. Loki had bought a variety of books to prepare himself.

And so the days passed with Loki studying and training.

Loki was happy, today was finally the day for his test.

Looking around, he saw a variety of people preparing themselves to take the test. There were old as well as young. Ex cons and the like.

Loki had settled down and the papers were distributed. Loki took a deep breath to calm himself and began writing. He could probably use the sharingan and his other abilities to cheat but what was the point of that. He had prepared himself well for this test and he had decided to try and fit in over here.

Loki was done with the test and he had stretched himself. Hours of sitting in a single position can be harmful for anyone. With the test done, Loki was also starting to feel a little peckish. He had gone and gotten himself something to eat at a nearby restaurant. He was enjoying himself with a calming meal when his meal was interrupted by a news broadcast.
