Alex silently accepted one of them, putting it beside him and concentrating on something. At last, a sphere of transparent energy appeared around his chest, expanding so it could cover all of his body and then slowly extinguishing.
"I prefer something quiet today." Joey said "I know a place. It's empty on this kind of night."
"He promised me Maddy." Joey said.
"What was that?" She asked
" what's the place called?" She asked "is it the hatless bar?"
"I wake up my aura every day. That makes it more powerful... although the power grows up quite slowly" He exhaled, starting to eat the cake piece.
"Of course he did." Peter said his voice shaking. "The one thing... That you couldn't resist. You won't lay a single a hand on her. She already has a Joey. And it's not YOU!" He jumped at Joey goong unbelievably fast. He grabbed Joey by the shoulders. He planted his feet on the wall and uses the leverage to throw Joey at full force aending him flying out of the house.
Is there other ways to make it more powerful?" Diana asked tilting her head.
"Thankfully no... but that place has good tequila." Daiko said "And we don't have to worry about security... then again I haven't been sent the new password."
He flew into a portal and appeared back in the house "Peter, don't make this harder than it has to be." Joey said as he clutched the knife.
"Alright." She looks out the window. "You know its so weird not having my healing powers."
"Well... to make it more powerful means to strengthen my control and ease it, but that means training, and I can’t imagine how" He shook his head.
"Would practicing to fight someone make it stronger? Like the more you use it the stronger it gets?" She asked eating her piece of cake.
"Oh I'm sorry. I was not aware. That my being alove was such and inconvenience." Peter responded. "I don't want fight you. You're making it necessary. I know your world is gone. And I'm sorry. But you can't just come in make this world as close to ghe one you know as you can. Somewhere along the line our worlds stopped being. And you have to accept what you've lost."
"Yes, something like that" He sighed.
"It's weird having to eat living human beings... and... not really having any henchmen anymore. Guess it's a new world for us." Daiko said
"But if I have a chance to take it back I will." Joey replied "He nearly killed you, has been responsible for hundreds of innocent deaths, has eaten humans without remorse... Daiko is a monster... you think he's turned a new leaf but what makes you think he won't go back to his old ways?"
" I can't wait for them to come back. ..is there any alternative you could eat?" She asked
"Anything that has been killed in the past 3 days... so if I want fish it has to be fresh. No frozen meat." Daiko said.
"Got it" she said
"I don't. Daiko is going to be on a very tight leash for now. But what I do know is that your argument isn't valid. He nearly killed me. A few moments ago... So did you."
He pulled up to a small bar. "Place ain't exactly Vegas but the product is good." Daiko got out of the car
"Guess him and I are not so different." Joey said
"He was at least honest with me about his attentions. From when he promised me he's kill me.... to the moment he apologized. That man is better than you for it. He's more deserving of Maddy. His mistakes are not his own. He's a slave to higher powers. Your just one of Apocalypse's thugs." Peter said. "And you won't have my head. He shot flashbang webbing infront of Joey momentarily blinding him. And he ran. He jumped out of the house and began to swing away. "MJ send out an SOS to any nearby heroes using anu outlet you can." He said.

"You... BASTARD!" He hopped out of a portal and tackled Peter "Just die!" He took the blade and aimed to stabbed Peter's neck."He was at least honest with me about his attentions.

Peter grabbed his wrist and crushed it. He threw Joey off of him.
Joey opened a portal under Peter sending him to a desolate wasteland.
Peter looked around. "Welp not going to be getting help out here." He said to himself.
