Y/N L/N doesn't know much about his family or where he came from. All he knows is that he's lived in New York all his life, fighting and stealing to survive. One day he witnesses a fight between a hero and a villain. He suddenly finds himself rushin...
You walked among the crowd without your blade and in cuffs. Sam led you through the streets towards the main tower while Valkyrie followed some ways away.
Y/N: Are you sure this will work?
Sam: Like 48%.
You looked at him worried.
Y/N: Where's the other 52%?
Sam: That's only if you get turned into a sex slave.
That didn't help calm your worries. You looked back to Valkyrie who was pretending to look at something at a booth.
Sam: I think this goes without saying, but try not to use your powers. If he finds out you're as strong as you are, it could lead to problems.
Y/N: Have you ever seen the champion?
Sam shook his head.
Sam: Whoever they are, they're pretty damn powerful. Shouldn't be an issue for you though.
You just sighed.
Y/N: I hope not. ----------- Back on Earth, in an unknown location, a man watched as the three children sat at their desks and worked. Their intelligence had grown faster than he could've expected.
???: What age are they now?
Scientist: They are age 4. We predict that every year will be 5 for them.
???: Stop the aging when they reach 15. How is everything else looking so far?
The scientist looked at her tablet.
Scientist: Stella has shown the most progress in terms of intelligence while Sun is showing a great growth in power.
The man narrowed his eyes on the third child.
???: And the last one?
The scientist looked at her tablet.
Scientist: Jericho seems to be maturing faster than the other two. He acts as a leader to the other two.
The man smiled.
???: Maybe we could use that to our advantage. Seems that this is turning out better than expected.
Scientist: I apologize again for not being able to replicate the project perfectly. Whatever A.I.M used is beyond us. Lost forever ever since SHEILD came in and destroyed it.
???: It doesn't matter now. We have three perfect experiments right in front of us. They will be ready by the time the Godslayer returns.
Inside of the room, Jericho looked up at the window. He then looked back at his siblings. Stella, the blonde haired girl, was humming while she took her test. Despite being the only girl, or maybe because of that reason, she was the smartest out of the three of them. She was always the first to ask questions.
Sun, the boy with light H/C hair, was smiling as he drew pictures instead of answering the test questions. He was the strongest of the three of them without question. Regardless, he was a softy. Always looking up even when things didn't look good.
Jericho himself was the odd one out. He had powers like his siblings but he was leagues behind them. He blew a stran of H/C hair out of his face before he looked back down at the test. He had finished a while ago so he wasn't in a hurry.
He heard a sneeze and looked up to see some small sparks of electricity come from Stella before she rubbed her nose. The door suddenly opened and a woman in a black dress walked in.
Woman: Time is up kids. Did you all try your best?
Everyone nodded.
Woman: Wonderful! You can all have playtime now.
All: Thank you mother. ---------- You looked around the room confused. Was the Grandmaster a fan of that weird junk look? Sam talked to one of the guards before he got the ok to enter. You both stepped into a bigger room where you found a man sitting on a makeshift throne getting fanned by people in collars. You did not like where this was going.
The man looked at you before turning to Sam.
???: So, I was told that you were looking to sell me a fighter.
Sam nodded. He yanked on the chain that was attached to your cuffs which caused you to stumble forward.
Sam: He's a fighter alright. Wanted by the Nova Corp for participating in illegal fighting rings. A real nice addition for a cheap price, Grandmaster.

You got into Sam's mind.
Y/N: Is it just me or does he look like that dude from Jurassic Park?
Sam: I can see it.
The Grandmaster stood up and walked down the steps to get a closer look at you. He grabbed your chin and moved your head to further examine you.
Grandmaster: He looks like a fighter. I'll set him up in my arena. What's your price?
Sam: 200 credits sound good?
The Grandmaster seemed surpised.
Grandmaster: Why so cheap?
Sam: I just don't feel like bringing him all the way back to Xander. He's not that big of a threat to us so no need for a fuss.
The Grandmaster smiled.
Grandmaster: Perfect. I'll see that my workers pay you. In the meantime, it looks like I'll need to clean this one up.
You almost rolled your eyes. You knew what was coming next. You suddenly felt a sting in your neck and looked down to see that one of his guards had stabbed a small device into your neck.
Y/N: What's that?
Grandmaster: Insurance. Now be a dear and follow my guards before I use it.
You looked back at Sam who nodded. You turned away and followed to group of guards out of the room.
What followed was both the best and worse thing you have experienced. You got a through cleaning which included a haircut and a teeth cleaning but they weren't very gentle. They threw you into a second room where you were fitted in some clothing which was really just a leather vest, an arm protector for your left arm, some trousers with knee pads, and some old boots. They then threw you into the last room which was filled with weapons.
Guard: Careful what you choose. It'll be the only thing you're allowed for the rest of your life.
You looked around at the racks filled with various weapons before your eyes landed on a pair of blades that were identical. You picked them up and got a good feel for them. You tucked them away in your belt before the guards pushed you into the next room. You looked around and saw it was a empty room with only a pile of what resembled hay.
Y/N: Jesus Christ. I'm starting to wish I read that chapter of Roman times in history.
You then shrugged.
Y/N: Wish I'd stay in school.
You walked over to the pile of hay and sat down. Looks like your career as a gladiator starts now.
