I laughed excitedly in my room, "muhahaha!! Finally! I finally made this damn chemical."
Unfortunately, the high-tech helper was not on my side, one thing I have realised about this damn gadget is that, it always comments sarcastically, because he finds it very amusing to see my irked response.
Silky: "Boss, currently you have only completed making your 'damn chemical' theoretically, which is just on a piece of paper. To make methamphetamine, you'll need to do it practically."
'I already knew that he would try to annoy me, but I, The awesome reincarnator in Marvel, would never fall for those petty tricks, Muhahah!'
Facing the hologram of the erect ears and husky dog face, which Silky has chosen as his avatar. Even though it seems cute, I inwardly reminded myself how cunning and devious this AI gadget is, and so, I spoke in the voice of authority, "I know, this is just the first step, and Remind me next time to throw you in royal water."
The 'damn gadget' always had response ready, and so, Silky cheekily replied to my provocation, "Yes Boss! But you also need to perform other reactions which are, preparation of Ephedrine and Birch reduction of Ephedrine. And for a side note, Silky is a civilian class, model T-70 a Titanian technology, which is immune to effects of royal water or any mineral acid currently found on planet Earth."
'Damn you and your know-it-all response' but I seriously need to consider his suggestions. I mean, it has been only 2 days since I got my memories and this 'know-it-all' Titanian scanner, but it honestly amazes me about how much I can efficiently improve myself when I have guidance of a 'near all-knowing' AI.
It has changed my perspective of life, even in my past memories where I was in a high authority position, I couldn't make decisions without knowledge of experts and consultants, and here all you need is a 'hand-held infrared thermometer' lookalike scanner device and it will scan almost everything you want. More importantly it will help you in maintaining and improving yourself in every area. What more can I ask, for now.

I stood up from my desk, reminding myself that today is 27th Dec, currently it's 10 AM. Uncle John has gone to his office. He works in the quality accessing department, in the Osborn industries. Yep, that damn messy company which, if my past-life memories serves right, then it's currently on its way to become even more problematic with Norman becoming crazy Green Goblin.
Given that Spider-Man is already in public for a year and is currently fighting few street villains and occasionally helping people. Talking about the elephant in the room, I feel the tensions rising in public especially considering Mutant-Human tragedies happening, government trying to put Mutants to leash.
'Oh Dear santa' just thinking of such things make me run away, I mean it's not like I'm coward or something. But this exhausting political games and public work has really made me not want to go public. Even thinking of becoming a hero gives me shivers. I don't know how Peter does this everyday? How thoroughly did Uncle Ben brainwash Peter or was it the guilt of indirectly killing uncle Ben made him do such outrageous things?
Although, I can't understand Peter Parker's motivation to go ahead and make a change in society. In this world, It's a thankless and moneyless job. The dark side of society will always be there, feeding on the desires of people, corruption, greed & lust for power, money and women. All of these are deep abyss, devouring everything and every action that one does to change the society. The most honorable act in such a society is to let people live their lives. I remembered a quote from my past life, "People in distress will sometimes prefer a problem that is familiar to a solution that is not."
Ultimately, If it is friendly Spider-Man or iconic Iron-Man, maybe heroic Thor, even the combined Avengers can't solve the society and it's people.
Well, enough thinking about Heroes and society, for now it hasn't happened and I will make Uncle John change his job. Truthfully, it's very dangerous, especially knowing about what happens in future. It's terrifying that thousands of lives will be the consequence of the appearance of Green Goblin and let's not get into other villains of spidey.
'Sigh', For now let's focus on current situation. I have already prepared a quite daunting plan for myself but knowing this universe, precaution is better than cure.
I don't know if any of those high power beings have noticed me, of course they should have, my actions with Santa was practically like a glowing torch in darkness. Though Santa has assured me about my memories, if anyone knows them it would be a disaster.
'Enough with this heavy mood', I mentally reminded myself about what should I do. Recounting my priorities, I have finished my Homework, prepared for test and ready for research. I felt my stomach grumbling, feeling the urge I walked to the refrigerator,
'eggs, bacon, bread, broccoli, cabbage, buns, a half pizza ugh! Uncle John again put half-eaten food inside. Nevermind, Let's make nutritious food. If I don't then I'll have my secretary/AI keep eating my brain with it's yapping. Making scrambled eggs, bacon, and grabbing a pack of apple juice, I sat on my table. Now, let's focus on eating and research.
Since yesterday I have been researching Avengers and Mutants. Finding about Avengers was easy, being a public personality and living in a tall Avengers tower, in the centre of city. Their actions are always under public scrutiny.
-------
Avengers united or more accurately, 'unofficially' formed in September 1999, after the famous Hulk-Thor fight.
Half of the Manhattan landscape was electrified with thunder and earthquakes. Even our whole school watching it from miles away at that time, could feel the power of the titans. Whole NY was in an emergency. Washington D.C. and Pentagon was on their edge, thank God, at that time bunkers weren't that popular otherwise those World council might send few nuclear warheads on their way to Manhattan. Internationally everyone's eyes was on this fight as it would determine the next era of human civilization. The fight of a God and a gamma-powered incredible Hulk was the opening ceremony for the crisis that were to come in future. It didn't matter who won or lost the fight, whole humanity knew in their hearts that times have changed. It's a dawn of new era. It's a fate, it's inevitable and no one can run from it.
A team led by Captain America, who miraculously appeared after being officially dead since WWII, Hawkeye, and few agents of shield went to calm the heavyweights. Iron-Man appeared suddenly from the sky, but he couldn't keep his mouth shut and got blasted by Mjölnir, though he was saved by Wasp and Ant-Man who were on their way to help.
At the end, all of them were blown away one by one, none were left for the fight except the two big ones. Neither Hulk nor Thor was backing down, whole street was gone to ashes. Smoke, debris and electricity filled the air. It was a very tense atmosphere, every single person in the USA, even parts of the whole world, on that day were praying for a miracle, though the miracle came but not by jesus or any benevolent but by Norse God of Mischief, Loki.
Loki suddenly appeared, fashionably late I presume, wearing classic green attire, with his horned helm. He felt almost same from the memories except his deep laugh sending shivers to ladies and children. At that time, I was in school when the incident happened, all of the school was watching him live, students, teachers and everyone else, all were gathered in the Auditorium after the emergency bell rang during the early fight.
It was despair, I could almost smell it in the air, people prayed for Gods, they were helpless in face of such power, the gap was so large that those mighty figures appeared like mountains and Tall Titans, towering us like we are ants to them. Few responsible teachers were trying to keep small children safe but children are most sensitive to the environment, they were already crying and the earthquakes and tremors from the fight kept everyone reminded that, it was happening live.
Everyone's eyes were on the suddenly appeared Loki. He even enthusiastically introduced himself as God of Mischief and mocking the heir to throne of Asgard about unable to defeat a puny motal. Loki seemed to be such fully invested in his character that, even his shrill laugh appeared menacing.
Well, speaking of menacing, Our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man then suddenly appeared in front of Loki, Hulk and Thor, his loud voice could be heard to the cameraman and on TV. In front of them, Spider-Man wonderfully accused Loki of manipulating Hulk and creating a fight with Thor, to which Loki smirked and haughtily laughed.
Thor showed a face of sudden realization, he realized, it was his family drama all along. He righteously commanded Loki to dispel his bewitching magic and free the green warrior of midgard.
Half of the people in the auditorium were confused about midgard but our stern history teacher took the chance to flaunt his knowledge and almost started his lecture on Norse mythology. It was thankfully cut short by our beautiful physics teacher's glare, reminding him about the current situation.
Even on the screen, Captain America and his team was confused. Their mission was to stop the fight but a new variable appeared and made their task complicated. The confusion was about mission being changed from stopping the fight to unknown. Iron-Man gladly took the centre of attention and clarified that midgard is in fact planet Earth, and Loki is Odin's brother, thus this whole fiasco is about family drama of asgardian royal family, laying the facts Iron-Man hurriedly proposed truce between the 'Cap-team', Ant-Man and Wasp, he asked collaboration from everyone by explaining the situation.
He explained, the current situation involved more than one Extraterrestrial and one of them having power to manipulate people. This, Hulk is currently under his influence.
Iron-Man assessed the information to everyone and proposed an alliance to all, for solving the current predicament. They must unite and defeat the Loki.
It looked like Norse God of Mischief disliked being snatched away from the limelight, so he unceremoniously blasted the newly dubbed 'Tin-Man' with his magic and established his dominance on the field, and clarified, that he wasn't the brother of Odin.
Apparently, the Irritating speech was one of the Iron-Man's characteristics. He unknowingly touched the nerve of God of Mischief. Loki seemingly hated Odin, He hated Odin even more than his stupid hammer-head brother, Thor and Now, Iron-Man had irritated Loki by calling him Odin's brother. To him it was slap on his face. Loki was filled with rage hearing a puny mortal talking rumors about his background, and more importantly false rumors. Thus, to make the mortal 'Tin-Man' realise his stupidity, Loki took it upon himself to punish him.
Seeing Iron-Man being ruthlessly blasted away, all Unofficial Avengers got vigilant against Loki, except the Asgardian Royal Prince, Thor Odinson. He pointed his beloved Mjölnir at his brother and asked Loki to surrender and he will pray to All-father to not punish Loki. But, Thor's face soured, as he heard Loki announcing that he never had a brother like him and Today he's going to do what he wants.
The unofficial Avengers watching the Royal family drama felt slightly relived that if two extraterrestrials fight among themselves, then they might have a chance to free Hulk and ensure the safety of the public. 'The Unofficial Avengers' were now ready, their target was now changed to the newly appeared being calling himself Loki, The God of Mischief and brother of Thor Odinson, The Norse God of Thunder.
The alliance formed in background, while two Asgardians were immersed in their family drama. Meanwhile the left-out Iron-Man flew back to the newly formed team. Thus the alliance gained their lost member and now, they left two heavyweights for the deck to completely called Avengers.
The small talk between Two Royal princes didn't last long as Loki couldn't help but get angry at his stupid brother. He fired a barage of magic blasts and filled the whole area with dust, only to hear the response of Thor, that is, surrender and his mischief will be pardoned by All-father.
All the people who watched the scene were dumbfounded by Thor's revelation. A fight of titans, a prosperous city destroyed, billions of dollars property crumbled and thousands of lives lost and Loki, who was responsible for it, will get pardoned for his crime.
In our auditorium, even the adults were shocked while some people including adults and children shouted that it was unfair and unjust. Loki was clearly a criminal and he should pay for his crimes. But sadly, powerless people never had chance to decide the judgement. Judgement was a privilege that only possessed by powerful people.
The 'unofficial Avengers' realising that Thor would not attack his brother Loki, they decided that it was time they defeated Loki and help the Hulk by freeing him of Loki's control.
