Chapter 40: Blink's Mutant ability
"It would be my pleasure." Blink smiled and said, then directly threw a crystal from her hand, the space around the crystal started to distort and twist, instantly forming a portal of pink and bluish waves which was followed by Blink running and disappearing into it. The next moment a new portal formed above Arthur's head, Blink jumped out from inside and rapidly moved towards Arthur.
'You want to see my ability? Well, then I have to see your ability and whether you are qualified to command me!' Blink thought while rapidly closing in on Arthur, who didn't seem to notice her. She then pointed her leg towards his head and tried to kick him.
Arthur didn't even turn his head upwards, it was as though he possessed eyes behind him too, as he accurately backhanded her ankle which was in kicking position. Blink's face turned pale with fear and she hurriedly tried to balance herself mid-air.
Since the force with which Arthur repelled her was not too large, she could adjust herself and land on the ground safely. Right after landing, Blink quickly threw out another crystal and disappeared again.
Arthur's lips slightly tilted upwards showing a cocky grin and then he closed his eyes. The next second a portal formed right in front of him and Blink appeared and tried to punch and kick him rapidly one after another.
"Still not fast enough, your attacks are not fast. Even if I close my eyes, I can easily dodge them. If you want to use your portals to attack your opponents suddenly and catch them off-guard, then your attacks must be fast, accurate and lethal with the intent to incapacitate or kill them. Otherwise, it would be easy to be caught by your opponents, just like this…."
After dodging her punches and kicks like a martial arts master with his eyes closed, he then took action and grabbed her fists. While he could easily dodge Blink's attacks, this didn't mean that his fighting experience was equal to a master, it was because of his superior senses due to his Extremis Enhanced body.
"Even if I am caught, with my portals if I want to, I can escape at any moment…" Blink said with confidence and was going to throw another crystal to escape. But suddenly she found that her body was not in her control anymore and she couldn't even access her mutant ability to escape from Arthur's grip.
"Remember this, 'No ability is invincible'. As long as some telepath can enter your mind and control your body, then you won't be able to escape with your portals." Arthur then released her hand and also withdrew his control from her mind.
Looking at the frustrated look on Blink's face, Arthur said "However any ability can be trained to become stronger. If the fire is strong enough then even the water won't be able to extinguish it. So as long you are strong enough and train your mind, then I won't be able to control you."
"Alright, I got it." Blink said and then curiously looked at him and asked: "How are you so powerful? And how do you possess so many different abilities? I saw that you can control flames, you also have a bit of super strength and even can-do mind control. I have never seen any mutant with multiple abilities."
"I am just an ordinary person… an ordinary person with some special abilities." Arthur smiled and said:" Your power is very versatile and is capable of doing a lot of different things. So, before all hells breaks loose, you have to become stronger. Not just as someone capable of teleportation but also as a Fighter!"
"As a melee fighter, you lack the means of lethal attacks. But you can make your ability your best means of attack. For this you should be able to open and close a portal at any moment. As long as you train well, you can Split your opponent into two halves by opening and then swiftly closing a portal through the body of your enemy. You should also try to throw a crystal at an object to teleport it directly without using a portal."
"That is impossible!" Blink shook her head and said: "I have already tried that, to teleport something I need to open a portal, there is no way to send something directly using the crystal."
Arthur said to her seriously: "Don't underestimate your potential, as long as you work and train hard, you can easily do something like this."
"Well, I will try and do my best!" Blink still didn't quite believe that she could do it, but Arthur's encouragement gave her confidence a boost. No one had ever encouraged her, no one had pointed out how her ability could be improved and how she could be stronger.
'Maybe… it's not so bad to follow him.' Blink thought so.
"This place is not suitable for you to live, plus you need better clothes. Let's go, teleport us near a good hotel." Arthur looked around the factory where Blink had made her home and spoke.
Blink giggled with delight hearing this and threw a crystal to open a portal. Arthur then jumped in directly with Blink, and after just a moment, the two had already appeared in an alley beside a 3-Star Hotel. Arthur then entered the Hotel and booked the presidential suite for them. He also told them to send their best dishes for both of them, since he was starving and also to send some good clothes for Blink.
Just living in the presidential suite, was a brand-new experience for Blink, she was but a wanderer who didn't have much money, although her source of money was not clean. She liked to stay low, so she didn't steal a huge amount of money with her ability, just enough for her to not go hungry. She had never experienced spending money like Arthur.
Seeing someone being so good to her, touched her heart. So, she didn't want to disappoint Arthur and was determined to train hard and improve her ability. She now had a Goal to work towards!
Blink's ability was very strong, as long as it was developed properly becoming an Alpha level mutant would not be a problem for her. Even becoming an Omega level could be possibility with some external help.
Arthur's goal to dominate Marvel couldn't be achievable if he was a lone ranger and being a Hero was much worse, since the idea of sacrificing his life if the time comes, for some unknown people didn't appeal to him much. So, his plan to form his own team on whom he could depend on was necessary.
A team needs a variety of people with different talent. He needed a computer specialist like Skye, also an expert biologist like Jemma Simmons, but the most important one was Fighters with high strength and abilities. So that people would think twice before daring to provoke him!
