The immediate aftermath of my audacious reveal to the Avengers was a whirlwind of activity. While Fury and his top brass debated the sanity of my claims, Felicity Smoak, fueled by an almost manic caffeine-and-code-induced energy, was already deep into the "Blueprint: Quantum-Encrypted Multiversal Comms Hub." My Technological Integration (Multiversal) skill proved invaluable, allowing me to remotely guide her, offering insights into the theoretical principles and practical applications of the quantum encryption protocols. I wasn't just observing; I was a silent, omnipresent co-developer, whispering solutions into her subconscious, nudging her towards breakthroughs.
"Okay, Adam, this is where the rubber meets the multiversal road. Felicity's a genius, but even she needs a little cosmic push for something this complex. My job is to be the ultimate tech support, the ghost in the machine, ensuring this quantum bridge is built right. And securely. Because the last thing we need is a cosmic spam call from a villain. Or worse, a telemarketing call from a parallel universe."
I spent the next few weeks flitting between the MCU and the Arrowverse, a blur of Enhanced Super-Speed and Portal Creation. In the MCU, I maintained a low profile, observing SHIELD's internal machinations. The HYDRA intel I'd provided to Steve and Fury was clearly having an effect; subtle shifts in personnel, increased scrutiny of certain operations, and a palpable tension within the organization suggested the seeds of doubt were growing. I also subtly influenced Tony Stark's AI development, nudging him towards more robust security protocols for his systems, a pre-emptive measure against future Ultron-like scenarios, though I dared not mention Ultron directly. I used my Covert Operations (Infiltration/Espionage) to plant small, untraceable data packets within Stark Industries' network, containing conceptual frameworks for advanced threat detection and secure AI ethics, disguised as theoretical research from obscure academic papers.
Meanwhile, in the Arrowverse, Felicity was a force of nature. She'd commandeered an entire section of STAR Labs, turning it into a chaotic, brilliant hub of quantum mechanics and digital wizardry. Cisco Ramon, initially skeptical, became increasingly fascinated by the theoretical principles I was "transmitting" through Felicity. My Technological Integration (Multiversal) skill allowed me to subtly influence Cisco's own Vibe powers, nudging his innate understanding of vibrational frequencies towards the specific quantum resonances required for stable interdimensional communication. It was a delicate dance, ensuring they discovered the solutions themselves, rather than me simply handing them over. The goal was to empower them, not make them reliant on me.
"Adam, you are either a ghost, a god, or a really, really good hacker with an unlimited budget for quantum processors," Felicity exclaimed during one of our remote "conversations" (which for her, felt like sudden, intuitive leaps of logic or perfectly timed data packets appearing on her screen). "This 'Quantum-Encrypted Multiversal Comms Hub' is… it's revolutionary! The frequency modulation for inter-dimensional stability is genius! But it's going to need a massive power source. Something beyond anything we have here in STAR Labs."
"Ah, the power source. The eternal bane of every super-tech project. Good thing I know a guy who has a literal cosmic battery in his chest. And another guy who's basically a walking sun. And a few other guys who can generate enough electricity to power a small city. Options, Adam, options."
"Don't worry about the power, Felicity," I transmitted back, my voice a whisper in her mind, a sudden thought that felt like her own. "Focus on the integrity of the quantum entanglement. The power will come. Just make sure the 'hotline' is ready to receive a very special, very powerful, very Thor-like signal."
The mention of Thor, a name she'd only heard in hushed, speculative whispers from Kara Danvers, made her pause, her eyes widening. "Thor? You mean… the actual Thor? From… the other place?"
"The one and only," I confirmed, letting the implication sink in. "Get ready, Felicity. The call is coming. And it's going to be a very important one."
The construction of the Comms Hub took several weeks, a testament to Felicity's brilliance and Cisco's growing understanding of multiversal physics. I spent another 150 TP to purchase a "Stabilized Quantum Entanglement Matrix (Compact)" from the System Market. This was a critical component, a pre-fabricated, highly stable core for the comms hub that would significantly reduce the build time and ensure the initial connection was robust. It was a costly but necessary investment.
[SYSTEM MESSAGE: TP EXPENDITURE: 150. ITEM PURCHASED: STABILIZED QUANTUM ENTANGLEMENT MATRIX (COMPACT).]
My TP was now 1000.
I subtly delivered the matrix to STAR Labs, making it appear as if it was a "found" piece of highly advanced, unknown technology that Cisco stumbled upon during a vibrational anomaly scan. This allowed them to integrate it without questioning its impossible origin.
Finally, the day arrived. The Quantum-Encrypted Multiversal Comms Hub was ready. Felicity, Cisco, Barry Allen (The Flash), and Oliver Queen were gathered in the main lab, a mixture of excitement and trepidation on their faces.
"Alright, everyone," Felicity announced, her fingers flying across the console. "Theoretical calculations are nominal. Quantum entanglement is stable. We're ready to initiate the first interdimensional handshake. Barry, we're going to need a massive energy surge. Something to punch through the dimensional barrier."
Barry nodded, already vibrating, preparing to generate the necessary lightning.
"Wait," I transmitted, my voice echoing in their minds, a collective whisper that made them all jump. "Before you do that. A message. To the other side. A call for unity. For a shared purpose."
A holographic projection of me, shimmering and slightly translucent, appeared in the center of the lab. It was a calculated risk, but the time for shadows was over. They needed to see me, to hear me, to understand the gravity of what was happening.
"Greetings, heroes of Earth-1," I said, my voice clear and resonant. "My name is Adam Stiels. I am the Broker. And I am here to facilitate a conversation. A very important conversation. On the other side of this quantum bridge, there are heroes who have just faced their own cataclysm. They are powerful, resourceful, and righteous. But they are also unaware of the true scope of the threats that loom. Threats that affect all realities. Threats like the Dominators, who are already on the move, preparing to subjugate a parallel Earth. This communication is the first step towards a unified defense. A multiversal alliance. When you make this connection, speak of unity. Speak of shared purpose. Speak of the coming storm. And be ready to listen. Because the fate of multiple worlds may depend on it."
Oliver, ever the pragmatist, narrowed his eyes. "You're the 'Broker' who gave me the intel on Darhk. And the one who sent Kara that tech. So you're real. And you're telling us there are other Earths, and we need to talk to them, right now, about an alien invasion?"
"Precisely, Oliver," I confirmed. "The time for secrecy is over. The time for unity has begun. Now, Barry. Power up the bridge. Felicity. Open the channel."
Barry began to run, generating a massive surge of lightning that coursed into the Comms Hub. Felicity's fingers danced across the console, her face a mask of intense concentration. The hub hummed, then glowed with an ethereal, quantum light. A shimmering, translucent portal, like a window to another reality, opened in the center of the lab.
On the other side, I could vaguely discern the shocked faces of Tony Stark, Steve Rogers, Natasha Romanoff, and Nick Fury, gathered around a similar, newly activated console in their own secure facility. They were clearly taken by surprise, but their expressions quickly shifted from shock to wary curiosity as they saw the portal, and my holographic form, and then the faces of the Arrowverse heroes.
"Hello, Earth-Prime," I said, my voice echoing through both realities, a bridge between worlds. "Avengers. Justice League. The time has come to talk."
[SYSTEM MESSAGE: MULTIVERSAL COMMS HUB ACTIVATED! FIRST INTERDIMENSIONAL CONNECTION ESTABLISHED!]
No TP was earned or spent in this direct activation, as it was the culmination of previous investments and skill utilization. The focus was on the successful establishment of the bridge.
