76 [+]Chapter 73 Secrets exposed Curses at large.

"Have we made it?" Asked Fury as he looked at the huge rows upon rows of scientists working on different devices along with other geniuses.

Shield was essentially a big pool of geniuses that were tasked with one thing.

"No sir! But we are close," Maria replied as she handed over the reports.

"Maybe if we include Tony-"

"No! He is not ready for this," Fury sighed as he rubbed his temples.

"But sir, the more we delay this, the more these…things will happen, we don't even know what we are dealing with."

"I know that, have you found out about that magician guy, what's his deal?" Asked Fury, changing the subject.

The shield has been working day and night to sense the 'invisible' alien that has been actively killing off people in weird ways.

Some turn their hostages into weird statues, others turn them into bones and broken husks, some poor people are left stuck in matter with half their bodies magically gone.

Fury could only grit his teeth as he watched this, they didn't have any way of stopping it, the only time they tried, their agents suffered the same fate.

Whatever it was, was strong enough to fight off tanks, atleast that was what Fury thought since he or any other device couldn't capture these monsters.

The said monster were curses, beings capable of doing extreme harm to humans, made of negative energy with the capability to use negative energy to heal themselves, they all have unique abilities to them and are unkillable unless by a cursed tool or energy.

Although Fury was stumped with this problem, it didn't mean he didn't know how to divert his attention and focus on multiple tasks, especially now that humans needed heroes more than ever.

"Yes sir, we have confirmed that the Magician is from Hells kitchen, although we haven't been able to uncover his identity in the past due to some unnatural caused…we have reduced the area to look into," Maria replied as she took out a small report and handed it over.

On it was written,

'The magician.'

"Hmmm, so you have confidence that he belongs to one of these two blocks, alright, keep up the good work, inform me once you know of his identity, maybe we can see if this 'magician' had any ability."

Fury muttered as he dismissed Maria, although to others it might seem like Fury was underestimating Tom, but to Maria who had been with Fury for far long,

She knew that Fury meant to ask the hero if he knew about the weird things that were happening.

The curses had appeared all over the world, but most of their occurrences were in New York.

And Magician had appeared in NewYork as well, although the timings didn't seem to match by a lot, there was some mystery to both of the subjects.

Tom woke up the next day and did his morning rituals of taking a bath and cleaning himself, wearing some comfy clothes as he wasn't supposed to be going anywhere soon.

He cooked up some bread and eggs which was the basic minimum of what someone should know to make and made a tea.

"Eh! There is no milk, sigh," Tom sighed as he looked into the fridge, if it were any other day he might have asked for some from Mary as she was still in the apartment, but he had lied, he wasn't with his cousin, rather he was hiding in his apartment because the time difference between two worlds was weird.

"Sigh! Let's go and get some from the store," Tom perked up, it wouldn't be a problem if he ran all the way, he had grown much used to milk tea since his time in an alternate Japan.

'Coffee was good, but tea is better,' Tom thought as he whistles while running all the way to the grocery store.

After a few minutes, he finally gets the milk, as Tom was on his way back,

"Eh, a curse, it's a weak one at that, not even a third grade, let's just kill it with a blast," Tom thought as he put his hands forward from across the street, in an alleyway on the other side was a small ugly amalgamation of eyes which were giggling happily as they looked at a beggar who was pale and unconscious.

'Although it's not as effecting to use energy blasts to deal with these bastards, a curse that isn't even a third grade should easily die with this," a mass of Bluish black energy that was unseen by others was released from his body as he let go of the mass of energy.

The energy shot off from his hands and traveled at great speed towards the curse, before the poor bastard could even touch it's very first pray.

*Boom*

*Splat* *Thud*

The curses head got disintegrated, which was the whole of its body as it perished with a miserable cry.

The trashcans by the side of the road rolled around crazily due to the force of his attack.

"Let's go back and have that tea, shall we," Tom said to himself as he continued on his way happily.

Not noticing that a rather suspicious van had taken note of him, his secret had been exposed.
