......…

Third Person P.O.V.

Avengers Tower

"Now there is just one last loose end to take care of…" The people on the Avengers Tower watch Eidolon look in a certain direction.

Then the hero disappears from his spot and reappears far from there, but still in the fortress.

The scene changes a little later, but eventually shows that he is now face-to-face with a hurt Dracula.

The Lord of Vampires has been hit not only by that laser attack from Eidolon in the beginning, but he is also a victim of Eidolon's sun attack. He is not dead, but Dracula has burns on a good part of his body, his armor destroyed.

Even after all this time, he hasn't healed. Different from Varnae, Dracula can't circumvent sunlight attacks that easily.

"Hello, Dracula." Eidolon greets him like he is an old friend, and he has not attacked him earlier

"..." Dracula looks up, not amused. The vampire was kneeling on the ground but made a painful effort to stand up.

"Easy there…" Eidolon says "You know? I came here tonight with the full intent of killing you, but I discovered a lot of things since then."

As Eidolon speaks, Selene, Blade, and Moon Knight arrive at his side after jumping on the rooftops.

"Dracula…" Blade and Moon Knight immediately square up to fight him. Dracula also raises his sword.

"Tsk. Calm down." Eidolon makes a thick barrier between everyone and even keeps them in place with his telekinesis. "Let me talk first."

"Why are you protecting him now?" Blade asks angrily

"I am not protecting anyone, I just have something to say…" Eidolon rolls his eyes before addressing Dracula again "I will be brief because there is a party to return…"

"Dracula…" Eidolon extends his hand to Dracula and asks "Become my subordinate."

"!!!!!!?????"

And once again, Eidolon shocks everyone tonight.

"Are you mocking me?" Dracula asks with a frown

"Are you crazy??" Blade shouts

"I just want my money..." Moon Knight injects

"Ugh, you two shut up for a moment." Eidolon waves them dismissively, getting a little annoyed. "Tonight, we all saw that Varnae was the real Big Bad behind everything. He put Dracula in the path of vampirism, and it was the one pushing forward the experiments to get rid of the weakness for sunlight. He is also the guy who sent people after you, Blade, because you are a Daywalker."

"... Dracula was on it too."

"Dracula was sleeping until recently. He is just too aloof to care and even explain himself. Not saying that he doesn't do anything bad, but 90% of the blame falls on Varnae. Dracula is just as bad as the average vampire, and I spared most of them." Eidolon explains "Varnae took advantage of Dracula's lack of care to control things from behind and use Dracula's image to keep himself hidden."

"..." Blade pauses

"I don't need you to justify my actions." Dracula says with a stuffed chest

"What actions? You are a glorified puppet." Eidolon turns to look at him with a condescending look. "Admit Dracula, you are manipulated by him."

"..."

"And tonight I want you to remember how he did that… Vlad Tepes."

"!!" The name seems to awaken something in Dracula's expression, his eyes flickering.

"Maybe you forgot, or time made you numb… But the way Varnae put you in this evil path was by using the proud man that was ready to do everything to protect his people, even if he would be labeled as a monster."

Dracula's eyes narrow at his words.

"For the humans that you now treat like toys and cattle… You subjected yourself to becoming a husk of the man you once were. You lived long enough to forget and to become a villain, Vlad."

"Shut up…" Dracula whispers

"Sorry, did I hit a nerve? Don't worry, in hindsight, most people nowadays understand that you did what needed to be done. It was a valid tactic to demoralize the invading army. They only know the impaling part, though, not the sacrificing ritual to make you what you are today."

"Shut up."

"How was it? It changed more than your body, huh? That is the problem of abandoning your humanity… Your pride, your morals, it loses importance, and you didn't even notice the degradation of your human side until it is too late. The you from the past would be ashamed…"

"SHUT UUUUUUUUUP!!!" Dracula rages, a baleful red aura is emitted from his body, his cape rising in the air behind him like wings of a dragon.

"Oh~, surprisingly hot-blooded to an undead man." Eidolon is not affected by the display; he is even smiling. "If you are different from Varnae and there is still a smidgen of human pride there, you should consider my offer."

Surprisingly, Dracula calms himself, but his face is still unfriendly.

"I will not partake in your idealistic dreams." He scoffs "As I am right now, I am a monster thoroughly and thoroughly, and I accept that. Every man should accept what they are and their mission here in this world. I am going to continue being the King of Monsters and act as such till the end of my days." He speaks with pride

"Pride for being a monster?" Eidolon smiles widely despite being rejected. "That is perfect then… The goal of coexistence will be much smoother if you have both your human pride and monster pride. Go on… take my hand and recover your human pride, Vlad Tepes. You can once again help secure the future of your people." He extends his hand to Vlad again

"..."

"Eidolon is really charismatic." Jennifer says while watching what is happening on the screen. "I want to take his hand at this point."

Dracula shakes his head, "Too late to be anything more than a monster now… I already did things that can't be undone."

"Please, most of the people of my group are reformed villains. Three of them I took to the party tonight." Eidolon laughs "I was also not hero material either. If we put on the balance… You know what? forget about it. Just know that I believe in second chances, I got mine, and now I try to give people the same opportunity."

"Second chances?" Dracula laughs mockingly. "Do you go around offering them to every enemy you defeat?"

"I am not an idiot, Dracula." Eidolon shakes his head "I will not indiscriminately give every criminal a second chance. Humans developed brains to assess the situation for what? We must observe, obtain clues, see the patterns, take conclusions… It is what I do."

He activates his All Seeing Eyes of God. "I have a privileged point of view from where I can judge the criminals and villains. Most of them should be in jail and stay there for a long time before a little guilt and desire to change appear in their being. But some just need a little push on the right path."

"And you think I am one of those weak-willed fools." Dracula drawls

"I think deep down you want to put a foot again in the human path." Eidolon answers without missing a beat

"..."

"You think that you don't deserve redemption… So ironic." Eidolon chuckles because of what he is about to say. "Then put your trust in me, who believes that you deserve this second chance."

"...heh~" After staring at Eidolon for a while, Dracula chuckles too. "You have a way with words."

"It comes easily when you speak from your heart." Eidolon once again retorts immediately "Why don't you try following your heart?"

"Hmpf, in the end, you are wasting words on a dead man." Dracula's aura flares again. "Vlad Tepes is dead! Buried in Wallachia! Only the Dracul remains! And there is no emotion in his heart!"

"Bullshit." Once again Eidolon retorts immediately. "I have eyes to this, Dracula. I am a very good judge of character, and we have been talking long enough for me to make my decision. Why do you think I talked with Varnae so much? I was judging him too… he failed." The hero stares deeply into Dracula's eyes "You are different."

"What a great hero you are… Willing to put the people you vowed to protect at risk for the enemy." Dracula looks down on Eidolon, his tone sarcastic. "If you want to create a better world for your people, you should strike mercilessly. After all, mercy to evil…"

"...is cruelty to the innocent. I know. Again, I am not dumb. I will not offer forgiveness to villains left and right, but I can't be so one-directional and just deal with villains using violence." Eidolon closes his eyes and shakes his head before making eye contact again with Dracula. "What type of world will I create if redemption doesn't exist?"

"..." Not only Dracula, but no one else has an answer to that question. Luckily, it is a rhetorical one, and Eidolon continues

"If I just beat villains and throw them in jail, or even killing them, the world will become a perpetual cartoonish battle machine between heroes and villains, and innocents will be crushed between the two sides."

"..."

"For the third time, I am not a moron. I am not acting thoughtlessly, and I am not doing this entirely from the kindness of my heart. For this world to be a better place, second chances should exist. Villains and criminals must know that there is a chance of redemption." Eidolon raises and closes his hand into a fist. "That is what will crush this eternal cycle of battles. And not me punching every bad guy that appears."

"... I see. And I am your little project." Dracula finally understands Eidolon. "If the evil Lord of the Night switches sides, anyone else can."

"I just told you that is not a thoughtless plan." Eidolon smiles slyly

"A hero with a manipulative mind. That is new." Dracula smiles amusedly

"I am also not the cliche pure-hearted hero that dedicates his life to an altruistic crusade. That is Captain America and Spider-Man." Eidolon doesn't deny, "I am a little more cynical. I want solutions so that the people can rest at ease, and my friends don't have to make big sacrifices forever. This is real life."

"Eidolon really put a lot of thought into this hero business…" Jennifer comments

"Of course," Shego replies with a little pride escaping from her voice

"We kinda just landed on it by accident." Johnny admits

"It is admirable." Susan says

"While we play checkers, the guy is playing 4D-chess." Even Tony is impressed; he never really thought that far in the future.

He was always just worried about the next big threat.

It is possible to see from Dracula's eyes and his body language that something shifted in him… he is almost convinced. Almost.

But he eventually shakes his head while looking down

"I am tired." The Lord of Vampires admits in a rare show of weakness, something almost inconceivable to anyone who knows how prideful he is.

Even Blade was taken aback.

"The thing I seek the most now is to take some enjoyment of this borrowed time that I acquired and die one day in an honourable battle." The weakness disappears as quickly as it was shown, and Dracula speaks with a strong tone again "What you seek, hero… You will not find within me." He is getting ready to resume the fight.

"..." Eidolon stares at him through narrowed eyes. "I am not convinced. In truth, I refuse your refusal."

"Excuse me?"

"Yep, that is right." Eidolon points at Dracula. "You are lying to yourself. Haven't you noticed that all of your arguments are just to convince yourself, and you haven't tackled anything I said?"

"I don't need to argue with you…"

"Are you really okay with dying in the way you are right now?" Eidolon asks genuinely interested, maybe even worried about the monster.

"..." That makes Dracula pause

"If all your recklessness and battlelust come from your desire for a good death, I think you have it all wrong. A good death is not only about the exact instant you die, but it is also about how you lived your life till that point. So I am gonna ask again… are you really okay with dying like a monster, Vlad?"

"..." Eidolon takes Dracula's silence as permission to continue talking

"You are alive, and when you are alive, the possibilities are infinite, Vlad. There is still time to change. Maybe you are thinking that you can't change your evil nature born of vampirism, but that is not true at all… nature can be changed. As I said, I am not a good guy like Captain America and Spider-Man. Those guys are super cool and are effortless good, and I admire them a lot for that." Eidolon gives a self-deprecating laugh. "I have dark thoughts and evil temptations that try to push me down a bad path… Like I said to Varnae, every day I discuss with myself about what I am doing, voices telling me that I should be more heavy-handed to save more people, etc. But every day, I continue on the right path, winning against the dark whispers… And isn't that cool in itself? Overcoming your own evil nature through sheer effort?"

"..."

"..."

"...."

"Haah~ You are so stubborn… But I guess it's expected. Five hundred years being who you are can't be reversed this easily." Eidolon facepalms

"Finally gave up?" Dracula asks, immovable.

"No. You are just exhausting me. Deep down, I know you want to agree, but something is holding you back… Don't worry, I am a patient man." His eyes change to a more menacing look. "I still need to take you under custody, so we will have enough time for you to change your mind. I just wish you would be on board soon, to progress the Coexistence Plan faster."

"Oh, so we are finally gonna do what we mean to do?" Dracula smiles while raising his sword

"Yep, that works too… I am not strange in using strength to subjugate my followers." Eidolon raises his arm at waist level and turns his palm in a random direction

A normal sword flies through a window of a building and lands in his hand.

"Is that true?" Natasha turns to the SCP women

"What? The subjugating part?" Shego asks

"Yes."

"There are all sorts of battle maniacs, monsters, and weirdos in our group. He just keeps them in line." Shego explains casually

"That doesn't sound safe." Susan comments with a frown

"They are not exactly hero material, but can at least be used as soldiers during a crisis." Helena says "That if they don't become better by Eidolon's influence."

"Are you too subjugated by his strength?" Jennifer asks with a salacious grin

"Girl, if I tell you~" Harley answers in kind, hitting her with her elbow while wiggling her eyebrows

The two laugh, Jennifer thinks she is joking, but Eidolon really subjugated Harley through unspeakable means. Using dick power.

"Let's end this in one exchange." Eidolon pulls his blade over his opposite shoulder

"Yes, YES! That is the way things should end!!" Dracula looks ecstatic while also putting on a stance

Eidolon shakes his head lightly "You are gonna be disappointed in 3 seconds…"

The camera shows the two about to battle, and… it shuts down.

All holo-screens disappear from the air. The people watch, gasp in surprise, before starting booing.

"Oh, come on!"

"What happened?!"

"You can't do this with us!"

"Why did it stop??"

"Because I am already here." Eidolon's voice coming from behind them makes everyone jump in fright.

"You and this fucking habit!"

"Be normal for once."

"You don't need to always sneak on people."

They turn to see Eidolon stand there like he has not just travelled to Europe and fought figures of legends and obliterated an army of undead creatures.

"Hope you guys don't mind, I brought them too." Eidolon points with his thumb to the three people behind him: Selene, Blade, and Moon Knight. Nevan, in woman form, is also hugging him from behind, floating, like a backpack.

"You literally kidnapped us." Blade says while glaring at his back

"That is the second time tonight. You have issues, man…" Moon Knight shakes his head

"What happened to Dracula?" Johnny asks

"He is here too." Eidolon answers and grabs something from behind his waist.

It is Dracula's decapitated head. He grabs it like he is showing off a vegetable, holding the vampire's ponytail.

The most surprising thing is that he is alive and even talking.

"Is that what you do? Are you having fun humiliating me in this way? And you still call yourself a hero!" Dracula shouts angrily

Eidolon looks at him calmly, a small smile on his eyes "I just think it would be a waste to kill you… I feel that I can… change your head." Eidolon jokes

Harley and a few cackle, but the rest are still too shocked by the image of Dracula's decapitated head making a scene.

"Yeah, Draccy. Just accept his terms… it is the smart thing to do." Harley walks and starts poking him in the cheek. "I thought you had a good head on your shoulders." And she laughs again with the rest

"You deny my good death and humiliate me… And still thinks I am gonna join you?? Never!!" Dracula complains and tries to bite Harley

"Hey!" She removes her finger quickly. "Wait, can he still turn people into vampires like this?"

"Yes. There is an enzyme in his saliva…" Eidolon says

"I thought he needed to drink or give his blood to someone to turn." Shego comments

"That is a way too. It is not a single rule." Eidolon explains

"So, isn't it dangerous to have him like this? What if he bites someone?" Susan points

"Don't worry, I have him under control." Eidolon says casually and starts spinning the vampire's head using the ponytail.

"I HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTEEEEEEEEEEEE YYOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUU!" Dracula shouts while his head spins so fast that he becomes a blurry white wheel.

"Ah, shut up, still think you are the Lord of Vampires? You are nothing if I do not give my permission now." Eidolon scoffs and stops. "First, I am gonna destroy this pride of yours… and then we will have another talk."

"Yeah, he has a big head for a defeated enemy." Harley jokes again and laughs with herself and the others.

To punctuate his words, Eidolon starts bouncing Dracula's head on the floor like a basketball, the vampire's head gaining elastic properties by the use of the hero's powers.

Then Eidolon shoots at the net on the other side of the room.

'Kobe.' He scores a perfect three-pointer. A small wormhole appears beneath the net, and the head falls back on it and then on Eidolon's hand.

"You can't do this to me! I am Vlad Tepes, the Dracul, Lord of-" Dracula starts complaining, but Eidolon stops him by bringing the head very close to his face.

Eidolon's eyes are wide, and his irises turn red with pin-sized pupils.

"I am the winner, so I can do whatever I want. Isn't that how you and your cabal of savages operated through the years? Because you are stronger than your victims, you did whatever you wanted with them. And now you are on the other side… How does it feel?" His tone is deep and scary

"..." Even Dracula is scared of the sudden shift in the calm hero.

"If you want to remain a monster so much, fine… Just remember that monsters don't have human rights." Eidolon continues, his voice cold like the Ninth Circle of Hell, "You are under my power now, and if you prove me wrong about you being redeemable, I will give you the end a monster deserves."

"..."

The place is so silent that they could hear the wings of an owl, even the DJ pauses the song.

But then, like it was an illusion, Eidolon goes back to acting friendly and smiles.

"But I know I am not wrong about you… You have some goodness in your heart, Vlad." He pats the vampire's head like a cat. "There, there… With a little time, you are going to admit it."

"...dude…" Johnny says slowly

"I always forgot he can be this scary." Ben laughs nervously

"He eliminated 100 million monsters in an instant, how do you ll forget that?" Janet looks around, bewildered

"I don't know, he is a cutie patootie to us." Jennifer shrugs

"But I like this scary side… it is sexy…" Darcy says, and not for the first time, people look to stare at her.

She-Hulk sighs. "At this point, I should stop pretending I don't agree…" She admits, receiving some strange looks, but at the same time, some hesitant nods from the girls.

"Are you really serious about recruiting Dracula to your group?" Jane asks

"He looks high maintenance." Hawkeye points out with a joke

"Nothing unusual, I have stronger and crazier people than him under control." Eidolon dismissively raises Dracula's head. "We will all become friends and help humans and monsters join hands under the rainbow." Eidolon paints a very childish picture of what he is doing, but everyone is already aware that he is very serious.

If he simplifies his plan, it really looks like something straight from a low-effort story to teach kids that everyone should get along with each other, but it is far from that.

"I still need my money." Moon Knight suddenly speaks, "And if you own Dracula's now, the debt is in your hands, Eidolon." Moon Knight points at the other hero.

"No one owns me- Mppfh!" Dracula's mouth is turned into a zipper that Eidolon closes unceremoniously

"Okay, I take care of my people. How much does Dracula owe you again?" Eidolon turns to Moon Knight

"..."

"...you don't know." He is not even asking

"The amount doesn't matter, but a guy has to live by a code. He owes me." Moon Knight says with resolution

"Mppf! Mppf!" Dracula seems to protest angrily, but Eidolon ignores him.

"Does a gold bar pay?" Eidolon pulls one from his inventory.

"Eh… probably yes, I would guess a little lower, though."

"How much lower?"

"He must owe me something like… twenty-one dollars."

"..."

"..."

"...take the gold bar." Eidolon finally says with a tired tone

"If you insist." Moon Knight takes the bar and puts it somewhere in his cape "Steven will make good use of this."

"Who is Steven?" Tony asks

"One of his other personalities, this guy has Dissociative Identity Disorder." Eidolon explains

"Really?? So interesting!" Harley steps forward "How many? Are they friendly with each other?"

"A hero with double personality… is this safe?" Natasha raises her eyebrow while staring at Moon Knight

"Not really, but if he steps out of the line, I will deal with him." Eidolon assures everyone.

"Well, now that we have the apocalyptic threat of the night solved, we can continue with the PARTY!" Tony starts calmly but shouts the last word, making the guests cheer. "Everyone to the top floor! IT IS SHOW TIME!" He walks to stand on the couch and shouts with his arms open.

Normal guests, celebrities, and even the people who are gonna perform start moving to the stairs while the DJ puts some music to reinstate the party vibe.

In the meantime, Eidolon hangs Dracula's head on his waist by the hair.

"Are you really gonna walk with a decapitated head on you all night?" Shego asks with amusement, but her hand goes to Nevan's face, trying to push the demon-succubus-vampire off him

"What is the problem? It will be good for Dracula to get close to humans again." Eidolon says sarcastically.

This is half punishment for the vampire and half to make people less scared of him. When Eidolon doesn't take Dracula seriously, he looks completely harmless to the people watching from outside.

"Now that you are here, why don't you all enjoy the party?" Eidolon speaks with Blade, Moon Knight, and Selene. "It's okay, right, Stark?" He turns to the host

"Of course!" Stark says with a big smile "The more, the better! You guys are pretty famous now and people want to know you."

"I'm a good…" Blade rejects "I did not even want to be here in New York."

"Me too." Moon Knight says "I was kidnapped."

"Then enjoy a little. I will drop you off at whatever place you want later." Eidolon suggests.

The two seem to be a little convinced. Selene, on the other hand, doesn't seem to have a choice. Harley approaches and hooks her arm with her own and starts dragging the vampire away.

......

The uppermost room reserved for this party became a dance floor with a stage so that people could enjoy the performances of all the bands and solo singers that came tonight.

Of course, the Avengers Tower still has some floors above, but those are only for the heroes, to maybe have a relaxing afterparty where they can talk.

The stage is considerably small, but that is the point. It is a rich people's party after all, there is no problem if the singers stay just two feet away from the rest on a slightly raised platform.

The number of people who are going to sing is surprisingly huge, so much so that they will only have the chance of singing one or two songs. Normally, people would think that this comes from the fact that Tony Stark is super-rich and can buy everyone's time, but surprisingly, most of the singers volunteered.

Singing one or two songs is not much; it can be considered the "ticket fee" to be a part of this high-level party. The big names that are gonna perform are also another boon, who wouldn't like to be in a show together with them?

There are promising artists, established ones, and living legends here… Everyone is winning in some way. It is an investment; any producer would take this deal, some would even pay to perform here.

And amidst those big names, there are two nervous women who feel out of place.

"You all will be fine…" Eidolon addresses both Luna Snow and Dazzler before pointing at the stage where AC/DC are opening the night. "It is just some casual singing… no big deal."

"No big deal?? That is the AC/DC! After them will come Metallica, and I saw Katy Perry and Beyoncé! And is that Eminem and 50 Cent over there???" Dazzler exclaims, nervousness obviously on her face and voice

"Hmpf, Beyoncé has nothing in your guys." Eidolon says dismissively

"You are joking, right?" Dazzler doesn't take his joke very well.

"Relax and simply do your best. You two have your powers over them, but don't use them too much; prove that you can sing." Eidolon gives some good advice.

"I feel that I don't deserve to be here… Like a nepo-baby." Luna speaks quietly, a little ashamed.

"There are other singers that are just starting their careers beyond you two here." Eidolon points out

"But I am Korean… Would they even understand what I sing?" Luna is still not convinced

"Music is universal." Eidolon shakes his head. How could he explain to her that one of the most viral songs that he knows was from a Korean guy making a silly horse dance? "Listen, being nervous is normal… But suffering in anticipation is suffering more than necessary. That is why I told you two will be going so early in the night. Don't think too much, just go and do. You are pros, right? No more excuses, let your music speak for you."

That seems to do the trick. They are pros, and this is not even a big hurdle.

"Yeah, stop bitching out, you two. It is starting to piss me off." That is Juri Han returning with a drink in her hand.

"Can you please not interrupt my motivational speech, Juri?" Eidolon rolls his eyes

"Bleh, that was pissing me off too. If they are that much of a coward to step on the stage after all of this, just go home." She shrugs and then starts poking Dracula's head, which is still hanging at Eidolon's waist.

Darcy made a joke about Dracula being in a privileged place, so close to Eidolon's crotch, but that only made the vampire angrier.

At this point in the party, and as people in similar circumstances, Dazzler has already had a talk with Luna Snow and Juri Han, so the three are familiar with each other.

So both Dazzler and Luna Snow just shook their heads and laughed at Juri's lack of tact.

"Thank you, you two." Dazzler says after a long sigh

"I guess the two approaches helped ease our nerves." Luna adds

"Break a leg… or something like that, if you want, I can break them for you." Juri scoffs

In the end, Eidolon is happy that things are sorted out, so he let them two prepare for their performance.

"Oh, Amy Winehouse… I am gonna talk with her." He says and says his goodbyes to the trio

"What? Are you gonna fuck her?" Juri frowns at him

"My intentions are pure and righteous." Eidolon declares before going to have a little talk with the woman with a possible tragic future.

......…..

The show continues as smoothly as it can get.

Well, what kind of trouble would happen here? This is the safest place on Earth at the moment.

In the worst-case scenario of some villain breaking in… He would find himself face to face with Thor, Hulk, and Eidolon… If this is a comic, maybe one of the two heroes would get into a fight, and it would destroy the mood and eventually the party.

But this is not a comic book where a punch has to be thrown every issue.

There are only people trying to have a good time.

Like how it happens with a childish hierarchy of a high school, when the "popular kids" do something, the rest follow. So, when the heroes don't care about image and just start dancing, everyone follows.

Even Eidolon and the Hulk are dragged to the dance floor. Even Reed Richards stretched some limbs in all directions! The sight of those heroes using their advantages to make the dance interesting will always be mind-blowing; it even makes up for the lack of technique of some of them.

It doesn't matter if it is rock, pop, metal… If the song was agitated or calm, everyone was moving in accordance with the music, even if it was just bobbing their heads or jumping.

There is a lot of Heavy Metal and Rock because of Stark, iconic songs are sung, and equally iconic moments are created.

Like when Eidolon threw Dracula's head at Ozzy Osbourne on stage, and the guy literally bit it.

Eidolon is even invited to play Nevan with him and some other bands.

When the music is calmer and even a little romantic, the hero ends up dancing with a lot of women. The ones he brought tonight, the other heroines(who are not in a relationship), and even many female celebrities have a dance with the hero.

The girls pranked him and Thor, too, conducting the two to find themselves in each other's arms during a dance for two. Everyone laughed, and the two guys who don't take themselves too seriously decided to own it and dance together for 10 seconds or so, creating a much funnier moment and memory.

They obviously exaggerated to make it even more comical, the confidence that does not diminish their masculinity, even when they dance waltz, and the people applauding around.

Eventually, Luna Snow and Dazzler took the stage, and Eidolon would confess that he was a little biased, showing off some impressive dancing moves that he could make even more eye-catching with his powers.

But the two don't need him to set the mood. They are good, and they have just added powers to the experiences, awing everyone watching.

Eidolon was also forced through a "shame ritual" when Harley sings "Womanizer" together with Britney Spears while very pointedly referencing him.

So "pointedly" that she literally lassoed him with the wire of her mic and pulled him to the edge of the stage, putting her foot on his shoulder and crouched over him while singing to his face.

"♫I know what you are, what you are, baby♫

♫Womanizer, woman-womanizer, you're a womanizer♫

♫Oh, womanizer, oh, you're a womanizer, baby♫

♫You, you-you are, you, you-you are♫

♫Womanizer, womanizer, womanizer♫~"

"..." How can he defend himself? He literally has Nevan as a guitar strapped to his back. 'I can see her panties…'

Thankfully, his reputation is so good that people only see this as a joke. After all, it is not his fault that there are more women interested in him than the other way around.

He is more like a natural womanizer, who doesn't even put in an effort.

It is not his fault, really.

......…..

With all the different songs, Eidolon eventually found himself dancing together with Black Widow.

"I am surprised that you did not avoid me?" She says, smiling while looking up at him.

"I have nothing against you." Eidolon shakes his head

"Maybe not you, but someone has…" Natasha looks at Shego that staring at the two with dead eyes.

"Don't mind her, she likes you a little."

"Really?" Natasha is not convinced, eyeing him suspiciously

"Well… she, at least, respects you more than she shows." Eidolon admits

"I guess that is good enough. Is she afraid that I am going to steal you from her?" Natasha provokes, running her hands on his muscles

"That will never happen." Eidolon's tone has no bad intention, but his words are so final that even Natasha pauses.

"Boo~ Am I that ugly in your eyes?" But she recovers fast and bats her eyelashes at him

"Don't even start." He rolls his eyes in response "Instead of selling yourself as a seductress bimbo, why don't we have a more intelligent talk?"

Natasha's eyes immediately sharpened. "About what exactly?" The Black Widow appears on her face.

"Coming here and my talk with Varnae make me think… I decided to take some action." He starts, still dancing casually

"I hope you are not planning on taking control over the world…" She jokes, but is still eyeing him carefully

"That is for much later." He answers in a joking tone

"..."

"..."

The two stare deeply into each other's eyes, Black Widow trying to see deep into this joke of his.

"Don't worry, I just want to give you a warning." He chuckles

" 'Don't worry' and 'a warning' coming from you in the same phrase?" She scoffs "It is almost an antithesis."

Eidolon chuckles again. "I just want you to send a message to Fury."

"What is it?"

"Well, remember months ago when I started saving people victims of human trafficking rings, what they do to humans, and all other kinds of evil."

"Yes…"

"In TV all warned everyone behind this that I would be coming from them eventually. I didn't at the time because I was more focused on saving people, and it would create a lot of chaos when I exposed how many politicians and other important figures are evil."

"..." At this point, Natasha knows where he is going.

"I am gonna act soon, Black Widow." Eidolon whispers at her, his eyes fully serious "I am gonna capture all of them and expose how evil they are to the world. Including the many celebrities right here in this party."

"...that will be pretty big."

"I don't care. They have been silent since I appeared, but they still have to pay for their crimes." Eidolon says "S.H.I.E.L.D. may not have done anything because you just care about supernatural threats and because of the chaos, but you can't say to me that you are unaware."

"It is not that simple, not even we know how deep it goes." She sighs

"It goes very deep… So deep that it would make the Red Room look like a suburban playground."

"..."

"Those people are evil… the scum of humanity… So evil that I almost became a villain, and I am not even joking."

"..." Gulp

"I do not care if it is a president or a random childcare employee. Everyone involved has to go." Eidolon declares "And if S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't want to look like incompetent fools like last time I fought organized crime, Fury must make a decision on how he will act."

"... I will talk with him." She nods seriously

"Good." Eidolon nods "Some of those idiots are satanist idiots who think they are something. Most of them are just evil and dumb; no demon is involved, it's all on them. Just because they dress mysteriously and write pentagrams where they do their disgusting things, it does not mean Satan will come for them. They will be suffering in Hell all the same. There are some real cults, but most are just posers."

"...you really hate them, huh?" She manages a smile after seeing his disgusted expression.

"Oh? This is to hate… You will know when I hate something." Eidolon's tone is calm, but he is still scary. "But imagine being so evil, not trying to control those vile impulses, and then putting your hopes on having a good afterlife in a bitter loser that is trapped in Hell. Demons are not their saviors; they will be their cellmates, and those foolish humans will be new flesh for all eternity."

"That is an interesting way of putting this." Natasha admits

"Only the harsh truth."

"I will try to clean my ledger before dying then…" Natasha laughs darkly

"..." Eidolon looks at her, and the spy assassin swears that she saw a strange emotion flashing in his eyes

He surprisingly, and affectionately, pats her head.

"Don't worry, you are now on the right path, Natasha."

"..." Her eyes widen in surprise, something in her cold heart stirs, but she doesn't have the time to say anything because suddenly the music ends and Eidolon is pulled away by Shego.

Instead, she adopts a mocking expression and shakes her head "Green from jealousy?" And the two start bickering

......…

"C'mon, Hulk… It is time." Harley says with her hands on her hips, admonishing the green giant.

"No…" Hulk looks away, like a guilty child

"Dr. Banner was nice enough to let you have your fun, can't you be nice too?" Harley asks while tilting her head

"Grrrrr…." Hulk crosses his arms petulantly.

"Don't growl at me, Mister." Harley swings her finger at him while tapping the tip of her foot on the ground. "It was my mistake then to give you the chance?"

"Ugh…" Hulk looks even more guilty

"Hulk… After you behave so well, there will be other chances." Harley's tone softens

"..." Hulk finally looks back at her.

"Are you really gonna be bad at the end? Just to destroy the memory of your good behaviour?" Harley challenges

"No…" Hulk finally admits, albeit gruffly

"Then give us Dr. Banner back."

And it is with a pout that the fearsome Incredible Hulk starts shrinking and losing his green color, turning into Dr. Banner.

"That was an experience." The scientist says, seeming a little off balance.

Eidolon quickly appears and puts a coat around him to hide his bare torso, and retreats to Harley's side as Betty approaches Banner.

"Glad to have you back." She smiles while hugging his neck.

"I am glad to be here." he smiles back, and he doesn't waste time starting to dance to the slow song.

"I don't have words." Eidolon comments with Harley while the two watch the lovebirds.

"Try." She replies smugly

"Well… First, you are incredible. Second, I think you will be a great mom. Third… You are incredible."

"You said 'incredible' twice." She laughs

"I told you that I am at a loss for words." He shrugs

"Hahaha~ Silly!" She laughs and jumps into his arms to also start dancing with him.

......….

The party is great. Extremely good vibes even when Eidolon is secretly plotting to end the career of some guests.

In the end, despite Tony never investigating too deeply into that, his contacts are mostly normal people. So Eidolon doesn't need to fake a lot.

He just smiled mysteriously when being introduced to someone whom he knows is evil. And he also totally stares too deeply into them just to make them uncomfortable and leave early.

It is at the end of parties that things get more liberal; the stage basically becomes a glorified karaoke where singers can go back, and non-singers can try.

Some do it just for the fun, some are pretty good, some are so bad that people laughed(in good spirits)... Even Eidolon is pushed to the stage to perform solo.

He ended up surprising everyone with an incredible performance, of course.

His choice of songs is very good, not created in this universe, but no one knows that those songs have the potential to become meme material, like "Can you feel my heart".

'You are welcome, world. Memes are saved.' He walks off the stage, watching the people clap in this grateful universe.

......…..

Hector's Residence, Living Room

"My social battery is empty. Not only empty, but it is in debt." Eidolon says after him and the girls return home "I will need to go into seclusion for months to recover."

He already dropped off Blade, Selene, and Moon Knight in the places of their choice. And even put Dracula in a cell.

Tony offered them to stay, but what is the point when he can teleport? He even transported other people who wanted to go home, like Steve Rogers and Peggy.

"Oh, are you tired, old man?" Shego mocks, throwing her witch hat away

Harley, Helena, and Pamela do the same with the extra accessories of their costumes

"Yep, I just want the night to be over."

"Is that so? But I still have plans for the night~" Her intentions are clear from the way she smiles and looks at him over her shoulder.

"And that is my cue to leave." Helena doesn't waste time walking upstairs to sleep in a soundproof room. She still plans to eat breakfast here, so there is no point in going home.

Harley, on the other hand, approaches Hector like Shego.

"Hmm~ I have to say, watching you show your superiority in battle awakened something deep and primitive in my psyche." She ran her hand through his muscles.

"I feel the same… isn't your blood boiling too?" Shego presses her body against his side while Harley does the same.

"I can't deny that a good battle followed by a night of lovemaking was recommended to me by a specialist." Eidolon hugs the two while smiling

"Thor?" Harley guesses

"A thousand years of experience… can't argue against that till I have those experiences myself." Eidolon says while kissing the two on their necks, making them giggle.

"I think that is where I go too…" Pamela declares, but when she turns around, Harley grabs her wrist.

Pamela sees that Harley has a big smile on her face

"I am tired." Pamela declares

"Don't worry, he will be doing all the fucking." Harley says with a bright smile
