Chapter 21 - Chapter 19: Presentation

[Melina POV]

He knows too much.

Now I understand why I was sent to gather information from a 17-year-old. He wants to use me as a test subject for his experiment.

Wait, if he knows about Black Widows, Red Room, and Dreykov, then he probably knows about the bug I left.

I didn't even find out where his hologram came from. What should I report to him?

~buzz~

I'm not expecting any message.

{I told you I'll send you a video later. You better report this to Dreykov or make up something. It doesn't matter to me on how you report. >ATTACHED FILE<}

How the hell did he get my number? I don't even know my number.

Let's watch the video. What! It's from my angle. I don't remember taking a video.

This is what happened today. Each and every step, but why would he show me this?

Wait, that's not how it went in the end. He modified the ending. I don't remember him giving me the offer to be his assistant.

Oh shit, he played me. So that's what he meant when I asked him if I can refuse, and he said, "Yes... But I don't think you will."

[A/N: That's a misunderstanding]

He planned this beforehand. If I send this to him, the mission would be successful, but Dreykov would expect daily updates since I'll be near him, which would force me to be a guinea pig to him.

[A/N: Still a misunderstanding]

Felix Cole Vale.

He's dangerous.

[Felix POV]

What am I going to do with that broken window? I can't just go there and fix it because the Black Widow is still nearby. She might take me out?

While I'm at it, I should probably reinforce the house and headquarters with Vibranium, but I don't have enough to reinforce both buildings.

I might reinforce the house to some extent but not all of it.

Speaking of Vibranium, I think I need to call him, but I still owe him. Nah, I'll call him when I run out and give him that.

Right now I'm in deep trouble.

How am I going to present my phones? I was thinking of Stark Expo, but it stopped in 1974 and Tony hasn't reopened it.

«Sir, you should plan your own Expo.»

"Nah, it takes time to plan, but my phones would be released by the end of September."

«Why are you in a rush, sir? There's plenty of time.»

"I'm not in a rush. I just need the phones to release so I can focus on other things."

«Like Genetic Serum. Are you planning to mass-produce them?»

"NO! I can't mass-produce them because I'll be putting a big target on my back. The government will kill me. Besides, I'm short on materials."

«Sir, how about you enlarge the materials with Pym Particles and extract them?»

"Nah, it won't work. Just because things are made big doesn't mean their properties increase. A human has 206 bones; you enlarge them with Pym Particles, and they still have 206 bones. Let's say Promethium has an atomic number of 61 and an atomic mass of 145... You use Pym Particles to enlarge it, it's still the same but just bigger. If you extract it, you extract a piece of it and not the amount you need."

«You mean... If you enlarge a burger, the burger would just be heavy but still provide the same amount of food as a smaller burger.»

"Yes. That's another analogy, but yes."

That broken window is the problem but it's better to call a repairman. Yeah let's call a repairman man.

I'll deal with Fury tomorrow but now I gotta figure out my presentation.

How about I play 'Everybody wants to rule the world' or 'Holding out for a Hero'

Yeah, I'll just play THE song.

Gotta create those Genetic Serums; maybe 5 of them are fine for now.

After I created the serum, the entire day went by just fine, though Maria nagged me for why I didn't go to school.

The following day, I decided to contact S.H.I.E.L.D., or more specifically Fury.

I played I'm Still Standing by Elton John in the entire headquarters of S.H.I.E.L.D. while I'm still in my basement.

I finished singing the song and decided to talk to him. There were 3 people in the room: Nick Fury, Clint, and Laura.

"Nick Fury… we haven't met, but I'm pretty sure you know who I am," I said to them, and I saw through the cameras in the room that they knew who I was.

"Since you know, I'm just gonna be honest with you. Can you not send HYDRA agents to me? Pretty please," I said to them, which caught him off guard.

"Motherfucker! We're not Hydra," Fury said out loud.

"Head or tail, it doesn't matter because it is still a coin after all. Anyway, can you not send agents to me?" I said to Fury, and he looked composed.

"Sure, but if you tell me something first," he said to me.

"And he said he's not Hydra while he's trying to learn everything that doesn't concern him. Speak, and I might listen," I said to him.

Fury looked like he wanted to argue but stopped himself.

"How did you get all that money?" he asked me a question that I was expecting.

"Forex! I utilised a 50-50 strategy to increase my money, but changed it to a 100-0 strategy at the last minute. Does that answer your question? Don't send agents to me since I answered your question," I said without much thought.

"I still got questions," Fury said to me.

"You don't. The deal was if I tell you something first, then you'll stop, and you didn't say you'll ask more than one question. If I see any SHIELD agent near me, I won't kill them, but I'll make them international terrorists, genocide, homicide, or whatever that's harsh. Don't send them to me," I said.

Everyone was silent when they heard that, and I decided to finish the conversation because I need to focus on my job.

"Good that you understand. Good morning. Oh, and in case I don't see you, good afternoon, good evening, and good night. Have a good day," I said to them as I cut the comms.

I decided to check the headquarters, and surprisingly, everyone who I said should come today arrived on time.

I didn't expect to see Melina today.
