Chapter 39 - Chapter 36: Aftermath!

(Attendance please…)

….

The world went silent.

One second, a whole city was falling out of the sky. The next, it was just… gone.

There was only an empty patch of blue. It was like a giant hand had reached down and erased the disaster. The screaming noise of its fall was replaced by a quiet that was somehow even scarier.

In that dead-silent sky, Gojo Satoru just floated.

He was a wreck. Half of his body was torn to shreds, a horrible mess of burned skin and muscle. His clothes on one side were completely gone. One of his eyes was just a ruin of red. He hung there, looking like a broken doll, knocked out by his own incredible power.

Then, a little wisp of steam, like from a kettle, started to rise from his ruined shoulder.

The steam grew thicker, and a soft humming sound started to come from his body. It was the sound of a miracle. He was using his power, the Reverse Cursed Technique, to heal himself. It was like flipping a switch, turning the bad, Negative energy into good, Positive energy.

You could literally watch him pull himself back together.

His burned skin started to mend. New skin grew over the torn muscles and bone, weaving itself together like magic. The bloody mess that was his eye started to reform, growing back from nothing. It was so, so fast.

In less than fifteen seconds, he was completely fine. His clothes were still torn, but his body was perfect. Not a single scratch. It was like nothing bad had ever happened to him.

On the deck of the giant S.H.I.E.L.D. ship, the Avengers could only stare, their mouths open. These were heroes who had seen everything, but now they just looked completely shocked.

Tony Stark's voice was shaky inside his Iron Man suit. "Jarvis," he whispered. "what… what was that? Run a scan. Energy signature, radiation, anything."

The numbers that flashed in his helmet display didn't make any sense. They broke every rule of science he knew. He watched the screen show Gojo's broken body, and then, in a blink, show him as perfectly healthy.

"No," he muttered to himself. "No way… How…?!" Even their most advanced technology couldn't heal someone that fast. It was impossible. Even Dr. Cho tissue regenerator could do it this fast and effectively efficiently.

Steve Rogers stood like a statue, clutching his shield. He wasn't looking at the science stuff. He was looking at the empty sky. He had been ready to make a terrible choice to save the world, and it was tearing him up inside. And then this… this kid… just solved the whole problem.

But Steve had seen the people still on that floating city. They weren't crushed. They were just… gone. Erased. This didn't feel like a win. It felt wrong. And Gojo had just taken the weight of killing all those people onto his own shoulders.

Thor gripped his hammer, Mjolnir, so hard his knuckles were white. He had seen powerful warriors in his long life, but this was different. This was one person choosing to simply wipe something out of existence.

Thor's jaw was tight, his knuckles white around Mjolnir's handle. He had seen the power of many fighter in his long life of fighting. 

But this was different. This was a contained, directed act of total annihilation, wielded by a single being. It was power he knew could be possible… but to be on a Mortal.

"By the Nine Realms," he breathed, his voice filled with a kind of awe that was almost indistinguishable from fear. "That is a power not meant for mortal men."

Natasha's face was pale and hard. She wasn't watching a cool power display; she was trying to figure out how big of a threat he was. 

But he didn't fit in any box. He wasn't a soldier. He wasn't a god like Thor. He was something else. 

A being with ultimate power who acted like a teenager. And to her, that was the most dangerous thing in the world.

Clint just stared. "Did… did you guys see that?" was all he could say. The simple question sounded so small after what they'd just witnessed.

Down below, the soldiers who had been ordered to attack Gojo had seen it too. They watched him play with their jets and make missiles disappear. Then they watched him create a purple sun that ate an entire city.

A heavy silence fell over their camp.

"We were supposed to fight… that?" one young soldier whispered to his friend, his face white as a ghost.

Another soldier leaned against a truck, slowly taking his helmet off. His voice trembled. "He didn't just stop it," he said. "He didn't blow it up. He… he freaking nuked it from reality." He looked at his friends. 

"He dodged our missiles, and then he vaporised a city."

They all realized they hadn't just dodged a falling city. They had dodged having to fight the person who could stop it.

"He wasn't even going out or anything against the Jets."

"No one told us we would be going up against someone who could nuke a city out of existence."

"Those higher up bastards… they just wanted us dead."

Gojo floated in the sky, feeling… new. The Buffed Purple he'd used should have torn him apart for good, but the healing that came after had actually made him feel stronger, cleaner. It was like all the brain fog he'd had since waking up in this world was finally gone.

He looked down. The falling city of Sokovia was just… gone.

But then, another feeling washed over him. A cold, heavy one. His special eyes, the Six Eyes, could see the leftover traces of life, the little echoes of all the people who had been on that rock. 

And suddenly, he remembered the movie he'd seen in his past life, but it didn't feel like a movie anymore. It felt real.

The people. The families. The children. They hadn't fallen. They had been wiped out. By him.

This wasn't a total victory. He had saved the world, but he had done it by killing thousands of people with his own hands. The weight of that choice landed on him hard.

Is this how Tony felt in Civil War? he thought to himself.

Gojo looked down and noticed his clothes were ripped to shreds. He was basically half-naked. With a tired sigh, he disappeared from the sky.

He reappeared right on the deck of the S.H.I.E.L.D. ship.

Everyone went dead silent. Every single person, the Avengers, the agents, the people he'd just saved, turned to stare at him. The guy who did the impossible was now standing right in front of them, looking surprisingly casual for someone with half his clothes missing.

Gojo tried to hold his torn jacket together. He looked at all the shocked faces staring at him.

"I know, I know, my power is awesome and you're all amazed," he said, his voice easily reaching everyone on the quiet deck. "But can someone please get me some clothes? Because," he motioned to his tattered outfit, "this isn't gonna last much longer."

Nick Fury, who had been watching from inside, finally broke out of his shock. He yelled to one of his men, his voice rough, but you could still hear the surprise in it.

"Someone get this… abomination of a man… a spare uniform! Now!"

He called Gojo an abomination, but it was only because he had no other word for a person who could erase a city from the sky.

….

A/N: So, How was it? Yeah i know there weren't that many scenes but you have to do with that.

So jarvis will take care of the last ultron drone like vision did in the original.

There will be a 1 week time skip in the next chapter and will be about how media and and world think of someone who killed thousand of civilians.

As you all know, you can't convince everyone so some media and people will thnik and tried to convince people that gojo is nothing but a murderer that if he had waited for like few more minutes or seconds some of them would have been alive, while some say in favour of gojo. Like in spider man, all he do is save people when he can't just do that but he chose to do that… but when his identity was revealed you do know what happened.
