Chapter 27: A Series Of Meeting I

A/N: Helllo readers.

It's me, the author.

So first off I just want to say thanks for all your support. From your reviews, to your comments, to your power stones. I really appreciate it.

I am also glad you all are enjoying the re-writr to my Marvel MCU story

Especially since it was the very first story I ever posted on webnovel.

Back when I didn't know shit about using this website or writing good stories.

But now I do and I promise you I will finish this story.

Moving on, there a few things I want to address.

First, there is not going to be a John Sublime in my story.

Sure this is an AU MCU with some comic aspects mixed in for backstories and such. But some things will not be happening.

Second, Bobby Drake is not gay in my story. He is straight and waiting Rogue as I stated in a previous chapter. Just like in the early X-men films.

Third, the MC is going to date both Emma and Laura at the same time. Since they are his love interests. To dispel any confusion.

That's all I wanted to say.

So without further ado, here is the chapter.

One of three as a special thanks for all your support and it's continuance.

---------------------------------

(Roman: POV)

Sitting in my personal office within Abstergo Industries headquarters I worked on my desktop.

Reviewing all the orders that had been placed and all the revenue the company was receiving from its first publicly launched product.

Made by yours truly.

The Incapacitating Cartridge Emitting Railgun or I.C.E.R. for short.

Which of course I stole the design from from Agents of Shield, but since it hasn't been invented in this world yet is it really stealing?

For me it's not, which is why I patented it under my company and am now using it to rake in the cash.

Police departments and government agencies all across the country and even a few abroad, along several private security companies, are buying the I.C.E.R. like crack addicts buy cocaine.

But if they want to give me their money, who am I to stop them?

I continued working until I heard my office phone ring.

When it did so I picked it up and answered it.

"Yes?" I said.

"Mr. Maxwell a Dr. Curt Connors is here to see you." Our front desk receptionist told me.

Who is a normal person that is not part of my companies other operations.

We have several other people like her working for us.

Since I think it would be highly suspicious if we didn't.

That's why I made the call and put them on the payroll. Though I made sure they are completely and utterly insulated and temoved from Abstergo Industries other activites.

"Wonderful, please send him up." I spoke.

"Right away Mr. Maxwell." She replied.

Hearing this I hung up my phone and began waiting.

Only five minutes passing before I heard a knock on my office door.

"Come in." I spoke.

When I did so the door opened and Curt Connors entered.

Closing the door behind him he came to take a seat in one of the two chairs situated in front of my desk.

"Dr. Connors so wonderful to see you again." I spoke. "So, I take it since you're here that means you are ready to give me an answer to my offer?"

"I am." Curt replied.

Glad he only took three days to reach a decision on my offer.

I just hope it's the answer I want. But if it's not I'll make due.

"After much consideration and considering recent events I have come to a conclusion a change might do me some good. Which is why I wl be accepting your offer of employent. So long as you keep the promises you made to me three days ago." Curt spoke.

"Of course." I replied.

Keeping a neutral expression on my face but grinning like a devil on the inside.

Because I just converted another individual to Abstergo Industries.

In addition with Dr. Connors working for me I can make sure he never becomes the Lizard.

Because there is already enough shit in this world to worry about with a hyper-intelligent lizard man running around trying to convert others into people like him.

Yeah, no.

I didn't want to deal with that headache so I decided stop it in its tracks.

Just like I'll do with some other threats or potential future super-villians in this world.

Though only for some.

The rest I'll put in the ground without any hesitation.

Reaching into my desk I pulled out two stacks of papers.

I then separated them and placed them on my desk so Dr. Connors could examine them.

"What are these for?" Curt asked me.

"The one on the right is your employment contract. While the one on the left is the Non-Disclosurd Agreement." I explained.

The NDA being particularly special.

Since all of them are enchanted with magic.

Magic which will activate should anyone try and break them.

The spell in question a memory-wiping spell that will erase any and all knowledge from the users mind relating to Abstergo Industries, it's various projects, and certain personal details a person may learn about their fellow employees they may learn during their time here at the company.

Like if I were to reveal my powers to an employee who signed one of these NDA and they tried to tell an outsider it would trigger the spell an being the selective memory wipe.

I know it sounds harsh but I won't be lax in the security of my people and myself.

I will not be caught off guard.

"They are standard for all company hires. Even more so for scientists and researchers." I explained.

Picking up a pen as I did so.

I then took off its cap and placed it next to Curt's only arm.

For now.

"Just sign on the dotted lines Dr. Connors." I said.

"I'll need a moment to review both documents." Curt replied.

"Sure. Take as long as you need. I'm not going anywhere." I said.

I then leaned back in my chair as Curt reviewed both the employment contract and the NDA.

Fifteen minutes passed before he finished.

Then once he was Curt picked up the pen and signed both stacks of document.

When he did I offered my hand to him. "Welcome aboard Dr. Connors."

Putting down the pin he shook it. "Thank you."

Breaking our handshake after a few seconds Dr. Connors and I then went over a few of the finer details of his employment.

Most importantly we discussed if his research was proprietary information of Oscorp Industries.

When he told me it wasn't I breathed a sigh of relief.

But I knew that where a company like Oscorp Industries was concerned shit could turn ugly in a second.

That's why the company needed legal representation as soon as possible, to handle matters exactly like this.

Which is why I'm glad I put Emma on it.

Once Dr. Connors and I finished our discussion he left.

When he was gone I leaned back in my chair.

Extremely satisfied everything is going to how I planned.

And I'll make sure it stays that way.
