7 A DEAL WITH FURY

[System]

[Warning!!!]

[Outer Interference Detected!]

[Activating Security Firewall...]

[Target: Nick Fury <Human Scanner>] [Ability to see other's superpowers]

[Trigeminal neuralgia]

A transparent System window with a green tint appeared before my eyes, and I heard an angry robotic voice in my head.

Phew! It was so close. Thanks to the System's protection, he wasn't able to see my abilities. I'm relieved to see his pained expression. He must be wondering what just happened to him.

Nick Fury shook his head after stumbling back a little. The S.H.I.E.L.D. agents outside ran to help him, but he raised his hand, signaling them to stop. The agents returned to their positions.

"Using a superpower against a civilian after intruding on private property without any reason... That doesn't sound good. As far as I remember, no one can use superpowers on a regular civilian without cause. And due to your negligence, I almost died and you dare to speak to me with that tone..."

I yelled at Nick Fury angrily while trying to maintain my composure. It's challenging to stay calm in this situation. These people have money and power... Who knows what they might try to do to disrupt my peaceful life?

I don't know how I can help them. I feel somewhat remorseful for my rude behavior. But one thing is certain: if I go with them without any resistance, they might come knocking at my door again in the future, assuming I'm a pushover. Hell no! I won't allow that. I refuse to be anyone's slave who follows orders without question.

But, I remember the encounter with Black Widow... It was enjoyable. Damn! I still remember her face when she was performing oral sex on me. I want to help her. Well, not exactly help, but... satisfy my desires.

Of course, for the right price. Come on, Nick Fury... I'm sure you've already guessed my intentions. I'm not going along without a proper reward.

"Name your price," Nick Fury said after regaining his composure. He rubbed his right hand on his right cheek, trying to alleviate the pain caused by my interference.

Hahaha! It took him long enough to understand his position. How desperate is he? Coming directly to me, even though there are countless heroes available. I sense that something isn't right... He isn't telling me everything. But whatever, as long as I can make a profit...

"Now, you're talking my language. I want three things. First, I want S.H.I.E.L.D. to take care of my sister's education... I want her to attend the best school, then the best college, with access to the best tutors and training in case she develops any powers. Secondly, I want you to purchase the biggest junkyard in the city and put it in my name by morning. And the third thing is, I want information on that woman, Alicia..."

I named my price, waiting to see Nick Fury's reaction.

"Is that all?" Nick Fury asked with a baffled expression.

"Yeah, that'll be all. What? You want to offer me more???" I replied with a smirk.

I could tell he was surprised by my price. He must have been expecting a large sum of cash or something similar. But I don't need that. I can earn more with the junkyard than he can ever imagine.

"You'll have everything you've asked for by morning. Say goodbye to your family... We don't have much time," Nick Fury said as he turned back and walked over to a black SUV.

I closed the door and made my way toward the bedroom.

"Mom... Open the door," I knocked on the door.

My mom opened the door on the second knock and peeked outside.

"I saw from the window... Is that Nick Fury? What does he want?" My mother asked with a happy expression. She looked relieved to know that the people outside weren't dangerous goons.

"Yup! That's Nick Fury in the flesh... You know how these S.H.I.E.L.D. agents are... They know about my power and want my help with something. We made a good deal. So, I have to go with them..." I explained with a smile. Then I looked at my sister's face and said, "I've taken care of your education. Tomorrow, I'll take you to enroll. Make sure to go to bed early..."

I explained the situation to my mom and sister as briefly as possible.

"Really???" My sister asked, her eyes sparkling with excitement. Oh, those innocent eyes. How could I ignore them? She continued, "Which school? Am I going to the academy under S.H.I.E.L.D?"

"You curious little brat..." I ruffled her head with a smile, "Eat dinner and go to bed..."

I felt bad for neglecting them all this time. Fuck! I'm such trash. But I'm awake now... Their smiles right now... I would give anything... I would do anything to protect those smiles. I won't let them disappear again.

Damn! I must sound like one of those cliché heroes from movies and anime. Anyway, let's move on to the next part...

...

I'm now inside the aircraft that was hovering over my house. It's my first time flying, and truth be told, it's kind of scary. I hope nothing goes wrong, like an RPG coming our way... You know, like those scenes in movies where the hero is on a special mission to save someone, and out of nowhere, a rocket comes flying...

Hahaha! I'm probably overthinking. What could go wrong when I'm surrounded by S.H.I.E.L.D. security... Right?

We reached our destination within 10 minutes. I sat there during the flight with my eyes closed. I only took a peek down, and let me tell you... It's not funny. We were flying above the clouds, and when I looked down, all I could see was pitch black darkness. It was both eerie and intimidating.

I'm following Nick Fury. We entered one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s high-tech medical facilities for heroes.

We walked through a well-lit hallway surrounded by frosted white glass. It resembled one of those contamination chambers you see in movies. Then we went through a decontamination process. The medics sprayed Nick Fury and me with some medicines, which had a peculiar smell.

Finally, we arrived at our destination. Before my eyes lay Natasha and Selina, both lying unconscious on white beds with unfamiliar machines beeping around them.

We entered the room. On the left was Selina's bed.

Selina was missing her left arm, and she had an oxygen mask over her nose. I could see deep bruises all over her face and right arm. I couldn't see the rest of her body, but it seemed she was in critical condition.

Fuck!!! Her condition is dire...

I looked toward Natasha. She had similar wounds on her body, claw marks by the looks of it. Thankfully, she hadn't lost any body parts. They must have encountered some kind of creature, maybe a wolf-human hybrid. Who knows... But what the hell should I do now?

'Should I use Q&Q to boost their immunity? Or maybe I can enhance the antidote,' I wondered.
