(THIRD PERSON)
Noah smiled and looked at the soldiers pointing at him. With a playful smile, he said, "Haha... hey, are you afraid of the dark?"
Noah shot the lamp with an accurate shot, plunging the bar into dense darkness. The soldiers quickly turned on their night vision attached to their helmets. One soldier looked around frantically, but the only thing he saw before he was engulfed was a big mouth coming straight for his face. Noah ripped his head off with such force that the sound of a skull breaking echoed through the dark bar.
The soldiers began to quickly scan the bar in despair. The sounds of death and terror echoed through the darkness as blood splashed on the walls and the sound of bones breaking filled the air.
A soldier, trembling with fear, lay on the ground with his gun pointed at terrifying red eyes. His face was drenched in cold sweat.
"What the hell... are you?" the soldier stammered, his voice quivering with horror. The man in Victorian clothes smiled and replied, "Haa... what do you think?"
The soldier screamed and fired his weapon, but blood suddenly spurted from his neck. He touched the wound and realized a piece of his neck had been bitten off. As his life ebbed away, he saw the monster in front of him chewing a piece of flesh, blood slowly trickling down. The soldier fell to the ground with a thud, blood gushing uncontrollably from his neck.
"Haa... what a good meal," Noah said with a smile.
Noah grabbed a glass and a bottle of wine. He poured himself a drink and took a sip. With a sigh, he remarked, "It seems the darkness has won... poor little ones..."
In the bar, now shrouded in darkness, the only scent was that of blood. Limbs were strewn across the room, blood stained the walls, and guts soaked the furniture. Noah was the only one enjoying a glass of wine amidst the carnage.
"Haaa... what a good day," Noah said, continuing to drink.
John emerged from the underground area, peering into the darkness. "Alucard?" he called out.
"I'm here," Noah replied, lighting a small flame with a lighter. The tiny light flickered in the darkness. John sighed in annoyance and asked, "Why the hell does my bar smell like blood...!?!"
"Ah... I protected it with some force. What? I don't have the right to do that?" Noah said with a smile.
John continued to sigh in frustration. "Let's go. This place is no longer useful."
Noah smiled and said, "Okay!"

John was driving, and Noah sat in the passenger seat, gazing at the streets. Noah sighed and said, "Haa... well, that was fun. Luckily, I didn't forget the sniper, a real beauty!"
"That sniper is made of ultra-hard steel with small pieces of adamantium. That thing is fucking expensive. How the hell did they get that thing!?!" John said in surprise as he drove.
"Haa... damn, it sure is expensive..." Noah said with an excited smile.
"Obviously it's expensive. It's literally made to withstand bullets of an enormous caliber. I even think it's so resistant that it could withstand several very powerful missiles... they must have spent an immense fortune to build that..." John explained. Noah thought John seemed well-informed, even knowing what adamantium was. It was a good decision to work with him.
"Damn, only a person with superhuman strength could handle and shoot that," John said as he drove.
"Yes, yes..." Noah said, bored. He wanted to do something fun. It seemed he had gotten involved with people of great influence, in addition to having a team made of mutants.
"Hey, John," said Noah. John kept his eyes on the road and responded, "What?"
"I think we messed with a person who has great influential power, as well as public power," Noah said casually.
John sighed and said, "I already thought about that possibility, and it seems that you are right. This will be annoying and problematic. You are a terrorist in the entire country."
"Yes..." Noah replied, looking out the window. It seemed like everything was finally going to calm down.

(POV: Noah)
I got out of the car, and we walked through the alleys until we reached a metal door. John knocked on the door rhythmically. After a few seconds, the door opened slightly, revealing a pair of eyes. Then, the door opened completely, and a girl about 25 years old with black hair and dressed warmly looked at John and said, "Haa...good morning, John..." She seemed a little upset. When she looked at me, she asked, "And...who's the weirdo?"
"Haa...he works with me. Can we come in?" John replied with a slightly uncomfortable look.
She looked at John for a few seconds and then said, "Come in. No one followed you, right?"
"No one," I said casually. She just looked at me and said, "Ok..."
She opened the door even more and said, "Come in."
The girl went somewhere else, leaving John and me alone.
We walked in, and it looked like a normal place, like a house, but why the metal door?
"So...is she...?" I asked, looking to confirm something.
John looked at me and said, "My...daughter."
"Ohhh...that's why," I said with a smile. No wonder he looked a little uncomfortable. I thought this was his other workplace, but it turns out his daughter is here.
"What's her name?" I asked curiously.
"Jess... call me Jess... guy in strange clothes," the girl said as she walked into the room with a cup of coffee.
"Thank you, Miss!" I said with a smile as I sat on a couch.
I saw Jess grab John's shirt and take him somewhere. She seemed angry. Well, father-daughter problems, probably.
Now that I think about it, how is my mother?
Escaping like that just felt bad. It's like I abandoned her. I should have at least faked my death.
I sighed and moved my hair a little. I heard some screams in the distance. It sounded like they were arguing or something. Well, I want to hear a little.
I got up from the couch and listened behind the wall. I heard some screams. Out of curiosity, I phased through the wall, my head appearing on the other side. I saw Jess yelling at John in annoyance. Suddenly, she stopped and looked behind her, seeing my head. She stood paralyzed as she stared at me.
"eh?" she said in confusion. Suddenly, she grabbed a frying pan and hit me on the head, hitting me hard. She walked away from her and shouted, "WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT GUY!?!"
"Someone I... work with," John said as he covered his face with his hand in shame.
"That hurt a little bit," I said as I phased through the wall completely. "Hey, that hurt, miss..."
"What the hell!?! Is he a monster or what!?!" Jess exclaimed, a mix of surprise and fear in her voice.
"Well...he didn't tell me what he was, he just showed up one day and said he wanted to make money. I just accepted it and, well...he became a mercenary," John said, massaging his forehead in exasperation.
"Well, actually, you could say I'm a...vampire?" I said with a smile. I never really showed John what I was; he already worked with people with powers. This was the first time he saw me in action.
"A vampire...wait, like the ones from Twilight?" Jess asked, sounding both confused and strangely interested. Seriously...? Twilight?
"I'm not one of those assholes..." I said, annoyance creeping into my voice. Those vampires just seemed so...strange to me.
"Oh," she said with understanding, but there was also a hint of disappointment. Was she a fan of those...?
So Twilight exists in this universe.
"Wait, so you suck blood, right? You're not going to run out of food and eat us or something...?" Jess asked, gripping her pan tightly.
"No, I don't need blood to live. Well, more or less. Well...I really don't know very well," I said with a smile. I didn't remember if Alucard needed blood to live. He was "immortal" in his anime. Maybe one day I will have to release "level 1," although I don't know if I will be able to use it. I've never tried it, but it will surely be great.
John said, "A vampire? I never knew they existed. I thought they were just myths... although mutants exist..."
"Yes, although I'm not a mutant. I am...well, it's hard to explain," I said as I sat in a chair in the kitchen.
John sighed and said, "Well, I hope you'll let us stay here for a while, Jess...just a little bit."
She looked at John and then at me.
"Well...just for a...while," Jess said with some annoyance. It seemed like these two were going through a rough patch or something.
"Great! Do you have anything to eat?" I said as I stood up.
"I thought vampires only ate or sucked blood..." Jess said, confused. I looked at her and said, "I said I'm a vampire, more or less, but I can eat human food."

Jess, John, and I were eating at the table. Jess was watching me carefully, and I even noticed a knife hidden on the table. This girl was cautious about everything.
"Well...now what...?" I said while drinking a glass of orange juice.
"Jess...do you have what I left you?" John asked.
"Yes...follow me. I haven't been in there for a while," she said as she got up. We followed her to the main room, where she grabbed a rug and threw it into the air, revealing a perfectly camouflaged hatch. She grabbed it and opened it.
Some stairs led to an underground place. Does it always have to be underground?
We entered and went down the stairs. After a while, we arrived at a place that looked like the bar, but a little smaller.
"Wow, this place looks like a copy and paste, although a little smaller," I said with a smile. The weapons were carefully placed on the walls—knives, axes, even pens, which probably had hidden blades. These two looked like John Wick with all this weaponry.
"Here's the place. I don't come here often, maybe once a month," Jess said casually.
"Oh right, I closed my business, well "your" business..." Jess added nonchalantly.
"It doesn't matter anymore... While I was driving here, I thought about other things," John said, I took out the big sniper and put it on a table.
I sat down in a chair in the place and said, "Well! I think it's time to think about several things!"
///
"Well, well..." I said as I walked through the streets of the city, changing my form to my normal *Noah* appearance.
I decided to explore the city and ended up at the hotel. The entrance was destroyed, and I could still smell a bit of blood. People were already rebuilding it, and it seemed they were in a hurry to restore the place.
Great, now I'm a terrorist wanted throughout the country. Annoying but fun.
I sighed and kept walking down the street. As I walked, I saw people making videos in the area.
While I was walking, I took out a phone that John gave me. I looked at YouTube and found something that made me stop abruptly. Something I really didn't think was possible, but at the same time, the possibility was there.
There was a video titled "Protecting People from Monsters."
I clicked on it and watched the video. It started with a guy with short black hair, wearing a formal suit.
Bolivar Trask...
"Hello, dear people... Today I am making this video to present the protectors of the people..."
The video continued with Bolivar talking about how the world is mysterious and scary, blah, blah, blah. But when he finished his speech, he said, "Let me introduce the... XMEN!!"
The video continued, showing people suddenly appearing—Quicksilver, Storm, Nightcrawler, etc.
What the fuck!?!
They shouldn't be on the same team that wants them dead!
Something is wrong, this is very wrong...
In my memories that I got when I devoured the guy in the hotel, I only saw a few things. Beast and Cyclops were Trask's weapons...
This universe is crazy, disordered, everything is strange.
"Damn it, Tom...you put me in a chaotic place..." I whispered with a smile.
The X-Men on the team of the guy who wants to eradicate mutants, where the hell is Charles Xavier and why the hell did he let them take them?
"Wait... Professor X doesn't exist, or he's dead...?" I whispered while covering my mouth, lost in different thoughts.
It seems like my real story is going to start with the X-Men.
The thing is... I feel like there are things missing. I feel weird, like something's not right.

(third person)
In a large building, the Oscorp building, on the top floor, someone was looking at a tablet, watching a video.
Norman Osborn watched the video of Bolivar Trask with an annoyed smile.
"What an idiot. I made them, and no thanks...?" Norman said, his smile tinged with anger.
"Looks like... I'll have more work," Norman added, his smile growing more sinister.
Norman glanced at his tablet and muttered, "X-Men... You really are terrible at naming things, Trask..."
Norman rose from his seat and approached a large window, gazing out at the city below. With a smirk, he murmured to himself, "Haa... I think it's time to stir up some interesting trouble..."
