22 S.H.I.E.L.D. also wants to know everything

Tony was dancing with a redheaded girl and muttered "What a guy. Right in front of everyone!" The woman rolled her eyes and retorted "They're married, is it so strange?" Tony looked at her and said "How did you know, Pepper?"

Pepper smiled and whispered "Can't you see the ring on her hand? Plus, they own 2% of the company. I talked to her before. Her name is Emma Frost, she's very nice. The man is Viktor Gardens, a genius Doctor, 24 years old. He has a clinic in Hell's Kitchen, they call him 'The Angel'."

Tony looked thoughtful and asked "2%? Frost?" he paused and added strangely "Frost International?" Pepper shook her head and said "I don't know, but she is not in charge of Frost International. It's a man named Winston Frost. Also… They bought stocks like crazy after the drop. They're still buying too, I estimate they'll own 3% before long."

Tony looked puzzled and asked "Why are they buying deteriorating stocks?" Pepper shook her head and said "How am I supposed to know?" Tony frowned and muttered "I'll investigate later…"

Viktor suddenly frowned and turned his head in a specific direction. Emma looked at him and asked "What's wrong?" Viktor's face was getting cold and he said "Someone is staring at us."

Emma pulled his face towards her and smiled, laughing "Where? Can you see them? Is it the same feeling from yesterday?" Viktor smiled and replied "7 o'clock, behind the crowd, not the same. Very different, the other was a kind of threatening feeling. My Haki can't sense the exact place yet."

Emma smiled at him, her eyes wandering as she said "Balding, in a suit. Looks like a serious person." Viktor pulled her in and she closed her eyes, continuing "Agent Phil Coulson, Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement, and Logistics Division. He's here to approach Tony Stark…"

She chuckled, "What a mouthful."

Viktor frowned and said "See why he's staring at us. SHIELD is very troublesome. They're not bad people but- Well, you know." Emma replied "Maybe SHIELD isn't a bad thing?" but still inspected Coulson's mind.

She reported "Pure interest in a new face, knows our backgrounds… The surface ones, Angel Doctor, School Teacher, Stakeholder of Stark Industries. Has intentions to approach and probe, but hasn't been given orders yet."

Viktor frowned tightly and started thinking, Emma suddenly said "Honey, is it so bad to join SHIELD? Maybe it'll be the best for us…" Viktor looked tangled and replied "I don't care about joining SHIELD or not, though I don't really want to be a Superhero… I just want to live in peace and die of old age…"

He sighed and frowned "Why is it so hard to just live peacefully…" Emma closed her eyes again and added "He got a call and clearance. He's walking over." Viktor asked, "Can you handle it?"

Emma nodded with a sweet smile "You want me to wipe him?" Viktor frowned and finally said "As you see fit, little Bear. I trust your judgment." Emma's smile widened and she kissed him happily.

Viktor let go of Emma and swayed suddenly, knocking a glass over and splashing someone's suit. Viktor said "Oh my god, I'm so sorry! Please, let me help you." as he walked away with the man, apologizing over and over again.

When he escaped, Emma created an illusion for the man and sent him to the bathroom alone as Viktor walked to the bar, monitoring Coulson and Emma secretly as he ordered drinks.

Coulson saw what happened and was a bit startled, but normal. It's normal for people to get drunk, he didn't even doubt that Viktor was purposefully avoiding him. It really looked like an accident.

He looked at Emma and decided to continue, walking up to her and smiling "Hello, Mrs. Frost. Agent Phil Coulson of the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement, and Logistics Division, may I have a word?"

Emma seemed to turn into an entirely different person. Her movements were filled with elegance and nobility as she looked at Coulson quietly, asking "May I ask what for?" an unapproachable look on her beautiful face.

Coulson was a bit uncomfortable, as though he was talking to his boss, he cleared his throat and said seriously "It's about your husband. Nothing bad, of course. We're a private division, we'd like to ask about the attack on your home a few days ago."

Emma looked at him for a few moments, making him sweat, before she said "Please." gesturing to a table.

Coulson smiled and went to a table, not talking any nonsense "We have reason to believe that this was a premeditated attack by a supernatural force. The 'creatures' found in the warehouse match with the samples collected from the police investigation in your house. Do you have any knowledge of anything your husband may be hiding or acquired?"

Emma frowned and questioned "Are you insinuating that my husband is hiding from me?" Coulson shook his head and replied "No, you're mistaken, Mrs. Frost. Perhaps your husband inherited something that even he isn't aware of. The reason for the attack of these creatures could be something that attracts them from your residence. We know that the property was inherited by your husband after the passing of his parents."

He added earnestly "Perhaps, both you and your husband are unaware of it. In addition, I'd like to talk to your husband about some other things." Emma frowned and asked "I can make decisions, Agent Coulson. There's no need to talk to my husband."

Coulson replied "We'd like to ask him about an event a few years ago concerning Mutants." Emma's face didn't even fluctuate as she asked "Oh?" Coulson explained "We need to have him provide details of his admission to the hospital and subsequent disappearance."

Emma asked coldly, "His disappearance is related to Mutants?" Coulson just smiled and replied "I'm sorry, Mrs Frost. I can't divulge secrets." Emma's lips twitched unnoticeably and she continued trying to pry secrets from Coulson's mouth.

If possible, she didn't want to use her powers in broad daylight…
