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

It took me a month to find the location of the Joint Dark Energy Mission Facility because I had to prevent Fury from finding out I was looking for it. He trusted me to an extent, as much as a spy could trust someone, and suddenly asking him where a classified site by SHIELD standards was located could break that fragile trust.

Now that I knew where the Joint Dark Energy Mission Facility was, all I had to do was break in, adopt Goose, and get out, all without gathering any unwanted attention.

So with that in mind, I decided to complete a few dungeons, to gain new skills for this mission and in less than a week I had already completed three of the ten dungeons that New York had, thus obtaining three skills for my use.

[Savagery LV 10], [Meditation LV 9], [Sight LV 7], and one I had develop myself, [Knockout LV 5]

[Savagery - Active - LV 10 = As long as the user continues attacking without interruption with physical blows, each consecutive blow receives an additional 500 pounds of force compared to the previous one. If the chain of attacks are interrupted then it resets, and the user has to start the count once more. ]

[Meditation - Active - LV 9 = When used, the user regenerates 1% of total HP and MP per second.]

[Sight - Passive - LV 7 = Connected to the minimap, the user can see anything within his minimap range as if he was there. Sight can be used at any given time]

and last but not least, [Knockout LV 5] It allowed me to knock people down with a single hit if I was at least twice their level.

Three very good skills, especially Sight, it was the one thing I envied from Heimdall, his ability to see almost anything, and now I had the trial version of it, I guess, still functional though.

"Time to adopt a cat," I muttered, as I wondered, what type of food Goose would like, I mean, he was an alien cat, talking about food, what type of litter do cats from the Cthulhu dimension use, ok, questions for later. "Emily!" I called.

"Yes?" Emily replied, running into my room.

"I'm gonna go out, Martha is coming, so you know, be on your best behavior," The sitter I had hired was a trained soldier named Martha Sanchez, I offered her a very stable job taking care of Emily and around the house, she was LV 32, and was very good at hand to hand combat, making her the best babysitter in town, also the most expensive, she costed me like 10K a month, but it was worth it for times when I wanted to do some dungeons and stuff.

"Ok," Emily nodded, giving me a knowing smile. "Will you come back with our cat?" 

"Maybe…." I chuckled, "Now go and put your pajamas,"

"Yes!" Emily giggled, running into her room.

With a smile on my face, I ran to the living room to pick up my guns before Martha arrived and saw them, yes Emily knew of my guns, but Martha didn't, for what she knew, I was just a rich single dad, being overprotective of his little bundle of joy, and to be honest, I didn't want to clarify, it would only open a can of worms I was not ready to deal with.

Two seconds after I finished picking my guns from the living room, I heard a knock at the door. "Mr. Maxwell, it's me, Martha."

Opening the door, I greeted Martha with a firm handshake, "Hello Martha, make yourself at home."

"How long will you be gone this time?" Martha asked, going straight to the point.

"A day, or two," I shrugged.

"Very well, same rules?" Martha asked, my rules were simple, no one was to be trusted, and she was to always be armed, in case of something, nothing had happened, but you know, better safe than sorry.

"Yes," I nodded.

"Now, where is the little princess," And in the blink of an eye, Martha's cold attitude changed, seriously, I am very close to believe Emily's power is being adorable, I haven't met anyone that doesn't like her, well… Tyler from her art class doesn't, but soon he would not be a problem anymore... 

"Daddy, stop planning Tyler's disappearance!" Emily said, narrowing her eyes.

"I am doing no such thing," I gasped, I was totally doing such a thing, but for now my diabolical plans of finding a way to have him transferred to another school would have to wait, for now….

"I know that look…" Emily muttered, narrowing her eyes even more.

"Maybe…. I was," I relented.

"Bad daddy," Emily replied, narrowing her eyes even more, to the point they closed.

"Anyway, take care of my sweet baby," I chuckled, looking at Martha.

"Will do, Mr. Maxwell," Martha chuckled, as Emily pretended to be blind.

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

Getting to the Mojave Desert in Nevada was super easy, barely an inconvenience, reaching the facility, well, that was an entirely different matter, but I managed, for all I had to do was reach the facility with my minimap, which was technically not reaching the facility, I mean, it was close, but… not that close.

Anyway, to reach the facility I had to avoid a bunch of patrols and such, eventually reaching the fence, where I used my minimap to locate Goose, I mean, I did not want to go room by room looking for the little catto, the place was huge, enormous, and if I did that it would take me a few hours to search every single room.

"Let's see," I sighed, using Sight as I laid on the ground to avoid being seen, first room, a bunch of soldiers, second room two girls making out… good for them… third room, the food court, nice, I continued doing this for every room that had a dot on my minimap, I mean the dots signified a living being inside, or at least sentient, I don't know, the point is where there was a dot, there was someone, until I saw a dot behind me. 

"I will turn and Goose will be there…" I muttered, turning Sight off as I turned around.

"Meow…" And I was right…. [Goose LV 266]

The alien cat is higher level than me, well that is somewhat hurtful, but understandable, but still, almost two hundred levels above me, Jesus fucking Christ, "Hello there…"

Goose looked at me, and once again meowed.

"I want to adopt you, you see, I have a little girl that loves cats, and you would be her perfect companion," I don't know what I was doing, I mean, did she even understand me.

Goose approached me, and purred. 

"Is… is that a yes?" I need to learn a skill to understand animals.

[Quest Completed! = Adopt a Cat… an Alien Cat!

Goose is the adorable yet deadly Flerken that was brought to earth by Mar-Vell a Kree as her pet and companion, but after her death, the poor mighty cthulhu cat was left alone waiting for someone to purr with, now will you be the one to adopt this adorable civilization eating cat giving him a PURRfect opportunity, or would you leave it alone to cause a CATastrophe?

Objective = Befriend the alien cat and add him to your family

Rewards = A fierce protector that will eat away all your problems, and your tuna, 150$, 150 EXP.

.]

Oh thank god, that was a yes, for a moment I thought Goose was considering eating me. "Now, please don't scratch Emily, and I will get you all the tuna you can eat…" I muttered, grabbing the apparently almighty cat.

Goose purred at my touch, meowing in content approval.

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

Adopting Goose was super easy, barely an inconvenience, but now I was worried that perhaps the Flerken was a bit too powerful, though I suppose if Goose ever misbehaves a muzzle could do the trick to stop her, but still, I never expected the cat to be so ahead of me, a few levels sure, but almost two hundred levels ahead of me, it never occurred to me, it was honestly quite shocking, but I suppose if I need someone to protect Emily, Goose is the cat for the job, I doubted anyone could get to her now that Goose was our house pet.

Anyway, after finding Goose outside the facility and adopting her, I went back to the house to present her to Emily, who as soon as she saw the Flerken hugged the ever living crap of it, surprisingly, instead of acting like a normal cat Goose purred, content with the situation, perhaps that was were Flerkens and earth cats differed.

"I'll see you next week Martha," I waved at Martha as she left the house.

Now that I was alone, well, alone without Martha, it was time to level up, and what better way to do so than the new dungeon I had found in New York, a dungeon of my level, I know, shocking.

I had found it on my way back from getting Goose, in a way, the dungeon was hidden, but now, I knew where it was, and it was time to finally level up in a dungeon.

"Well, I'm off to buy some food, do you want anything?" I asked Emily.

"Ice cream?" Emily smiled, Goose purring in content on her arms.

"Not food, but sure," I chuckled, turning my gaze to Goose, "Goose, if anyone that is not me comes, eat then! Okay?"

Goose purred loudly as if saying yes sir, as Emily giggled, "How can she eat someone? She's a tiny adorable cat! Silly dad,"

"Well…" I clicked my tongue, how was I supposed to explain this to her, "You see, Goose is not your run of the mill cat, he is a super powered one, in short in has the tools to back up the ego most cats have,"

Emily looked at Goose, beaming with even more happiness, "I have a super cat?!" she asked, confirming what I had just said.

"Yes, and you know the drill," I reminded her.

"No one can know," Emily repeated.

"Good, now, I'm off to buy Tuna for Goose, and food for us," I smiled, patting her in the head, and then Goose, who was staring at me with a look that said, I deserve petting too, pet me or I shall throw a fit.

"Remember to bring the ice cream!" Emily reminded me, as I opened the door of the house to leave.

"Worry not, I shall bring thy ice cream, princess Emily," I bowed with a wink.

"I shall await for you, my Knight," Emily giggled, as I closed the door.

————————————————————————-

At the grocery store, I picked all the stuff I needed for Goose and Emily, before going to the cash register, a normal day, until I saw something, or rather someone, a Hydra agent tailing me, [Robert Krom LV 28 - Hydra Agent] if there is something I am glad for is my ability to see titles, god I love this shit.

Anyway, Robert the Hydra agent was following me like a stray dog after you petted him once on the street, tailing my every move from a relatively safe distance. The question now was, when did Hydra find out about me? again.

Perhaps Fury informed someone of my location and that someone was unbeknownst to him part of Hydra, or perhaps someone followed Fury when he visited me last time and now they know where I am, who knows, I guess I will find out soon enough when I… have a heart to heart with my ex colleague, which meant I would have to do the dungeon another time.

Outside the supermarket, I put the groceries in my car, and got in it, driving to the mall, as Robert tailed me with his car, seriously who trained the guy, even a blind idiot would see he is following me, well, I suppose not all Hydra agents can be as efficient as I was.

Parking my car in a pretty desolated area, I walked to the mall, as Robert followed me, with a smile, I made a turn around and winked at the man, who for a moment stood still, then getting into position i sprinted towards him at full speed, which I turn made the Hydra Agent try to run, unfortunately for him, I was way faster than him, and catched up with him.

Right hand on his neck immobilizing him, and the left one on his mouth, I ripped the suicide pills from his mouth like taking grapes from the stem.

"Now that you can't die because you fucked up, tell me… why are you here?" I asked with a smile, taking my left hand from his bleeding mouth. Dropping the suicide teeth on the ground.

"I will tell you nothing!" Robert hissed as I smiled.

"Oh, don't worry little bird… eventually, you all sing," I smiled, dragging the man into my car, not without breaking his arms and legs first, to avoid any opposition on his part.

"I wonder if little Emily is safe…" Robert muttered with a weak smile, trying to… aggravate me, but instead of that, all he did was make me chuckle.

"Oh, you poor little thing," I snorted, "If only you knew…"

———————————————————————-

[Emily POV]

An hour after daddy left to buy some groceries, the bad guys came for me… they were once again after us, why couldn't they leave us alone, what did we do to deserve this.

"Come, little girl," one of the bad guys approached me, but before he could touch me, Goose came into view yowling at them. "Stupid c—" before he could finish that sentence, Goose opened her mouth beyond what should be possible, and several tentacles rushed at the man, swallowing him whole.

"What in the fuck…" the other two men that had entered the apartment muttered as Goose rushed at them, hissing.
