I met with Fury at a bar in Nepal, where he tried to slap me for doing what now was considered America's greatest terrorist attack, he was in a way, both happy Hydra had almost no foot in the USA, and angry, I had eliminated them the way I did, without telling him.
"I still can't believe you bombed their asses," Fury sighed, a small smile perking up his lips, beer at hand.
"Well, crazy or not, you can't say it wasn't efficient," I replied with a smile of my own, as I asked the bartender to refill my drink.
"Nobody can say that, but nobody can know you did that, the government would go bat crazy if they knew someone had the ability to bomb any location at any given time," Fury chuckled, taking a sip of his drink, "Which is why this attack was done by Equinox,"
I raised an eyebrow at that, "Equinox?"
"It's how shield is naming the one responsible behind those bombings, a new terrorist organization," Fury elaborated, "They assume that behind this attack, there is an organization, one that is a threat to the world, to the country, obviously they assume wrong, but that works for us, right?"
I nodded, "I plan on bombing the other bases around the world too, weakening Hydra even more,"
"How many bases do you think there are around the world?" Fury asked.
"I don't know, a few thousand at least," I shrugged.
"Hydra really plays by the Mythos," Fury chuckled, "But… so do we, now we have our own Heracles, the mighty demigod that will slay the beast, saving us all."
I snorted at that, "I suppose,"
"How's little Emily, and… the human eating cat?" Fury inquired.
"They are doing fine," I replied, deciding not to tell Fury about Emily's training with the Ancient One, in fact, he knew nothing of her, for now, I would keep that information. "How's the new partner?" I asked, looking at Coulson, who was out cold, thanks to my magic beer.
"He's okay, a bit naïve, but we all go through that phase," Fury replied, taking a sip of his beer, "He has a good heart, and wants to help the world, so, he's okay in my books."
"It could've been worse," I chuckled, remembering the first thing that Fury asked me when I greeted him at the bar, is Coulson clean, aka is Coulson with Hydra, the look of relief when I nodded, was precious.
"It could've been worse," Fury chuckled.
"So, any missions?" I asked.
"You know that's classified, but no, no missions, for now," Fury replied, "After Hydra is gone, would you consider working for Shield?"
I laughed, "I won't change a master for another Fury, but I can be a contractor, if you have the dough…" I grinned.
"I suppose that works, I never expected you to join us, I mean, you following protocol?" Fury snorted, "I think I would have better luck with the lottery there."
"Amen," I chuckled, raising my mug of beer.
"Well, no that this hasn't been good, but I have to go," Fury said, standing up from the bar stool, "If I ever happen to need you, I will call you at this number," at this he handed me a phone, one of those phones people used once and threw again.
"You will, in one year," I winked, grabbing the phone. It was, after all, 1993, November. Meaning it one year, and a few months, Fury would need me, Captain Marvel was coming.
"I feel like I should ask, but I also feel you won't answer, so fuck it, bye," Fury waved, grabbing the unconscious Coulson.
"Bye," I waved back, seeing Fury exit the now empty bar.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[December - 1993]
It was my first real X-Mas with Emily, and we were celebrating like we should have been since we escaped Hydra. As for gifts, everyone gave something to Emily, The Ancient One, gave her a bracelet with protection spells, I gave her a bag I enchanted to have bigger space than it should have, and I also gave her an invisible ring that allowed me to know where she was at all times, thanks to the location spell the ring had, Fury gave her a taser with enough firepower to knock down a rhino, a big one, and Goose gave her the privilege of letting Emily pet her on her belly, for that day only of course.
Oh, I also gave her a pair of VIT enhanced earrings.
"This is for you," Emily said, snapping me out of my dream boat.
I looked at her hands to see a badly wrapped present, which only helped to melt my heart, why? Well it was obvious she had wrapped the present herself, "I wonder what it is?" I asked with a teary smile.
"Open it!" Emily giggled.
With care, I tore the gift wrap open, to see the first thing I have given her, the coloring book, accompanied by a picture of us sleeping on the couch together after Disney movie night with a letter that said.
~I know you didn't plan to have me, and that I was forced upon you in a difficult situation, I know you had to sacrifice a lot to keep me safe, I know it all, I know that even with all that, you never stopped loving me anyways, thanks for being there for me, and I hope you continue being there for me, for I couldn't ask for a better Dad, and I will try to be the best possible daughter, with love. Emily Walker~
I said I would not cry, but come on! How can I not after this?! "This is… I think I have an allergy to the Ancient One's cookies,"
"You are a terrible liar, Mr. Walker," The Ancient One replied amused.
"I know," I chuckled, hugging Emily with a bear hug.
"I love you, thanks for being my dad," Emily said with a soft tone.
I smiled, ruffling her hair, "Now and always, little champ."

Mini portals, my new favorite attack of choice, hear me out, you see when you close portals anything in between gets cut, and here is where mini portals go in, I open one the attackers hand goes through, and I close it down, smaller means lets chance of dodging, and a faster close time, and I was practicing that shit all day long.
Now, the thing with mini portals was that they were harder to maintain, in short, opening a normal portal used to transport people was easier than opening a portal the size of a fist, also this mini portal trick was not always infallible, the portals regardless of the size had a limited cutting power, which makes me think that's the reason Dr. Strange didn't use them to cut Thanos' hand.
"You have improved a lot," The Ancient One commented, drinking her usual afternoon tea.
"Thanks," I smiled, as I continued my cycle of opening and closing portals to increase my speed doing so.
"Any new missions you have in mind?" The Ancient One asked, making conversation.
"I will travel, find more Hydra bases, and well, you know the rest," I replied, summoning a bomb from my inventory, "Eventually, I will get them all,"
"That sounds grand," The Ancient One chuckled, "Emily is starting transmutation tomorrow,"
I looked at her, a curious expression drawing on my face, "She is?" I asked, stopping my practice.
"Yes, she has quite a knack for it," The Ancient One nodded, "Soon, she might be the one protecting you,"
I chuckled, "I'll be happy as long as she can protect herself,"
"Well, that's any father's wish, isn't it?" The Ancient One replied with an amused tone. "So, when do you leave for your mission?"
"Tomorrow," This time, I didn't feel bad for leaving, because I would come back every night, portals were quite convenient, meaning no matter where I was, I always had the option to go back home.
"That's quite soon, but understandable," The Ancient One commented, "I wish you the best of lucks, hunting the demons that haunt you, Mr. Walker."
"You can call me Alex, you know that right?" I chuckled.
"I know, but it sounds better Mr. Walker, doesn't it?" The Ancient One replied with a smirk, leaving the room. That was a woman I would never understand, she was friendly yet you never felt like her friend, she was caring, yet you never felt entirely safe around her, all and all she was a walking mystery.
"DAD!" And that's Emily. "I am starting transmutation magic tomorrow!" Emily exclaimed in an elated tone, as she tackled me into a hug, behind her, Goose came into view, purring.
"I am happy for you," I smiled, patting her in the head, as Goose rubbed her face on my leg saying hi.
"Wanna celebrate? The Ancient One gave me a pizza coupon she had in her office," Emily offered.
"Sounds good, but not today, I am leaving to do something," I said, kissing her forehead, "Worry not, I will more than not sleep in my room here, but… some days I might not be here,"
"You're going after them, right?" Emily muttered.
"Yes," I nodded.
"Will you be okay?" Emily asked, and I smiled, hugging her tight.
"Emily, Hydra can't hurt us anymore," I was now beyond their reach, and I would make sure they learned that.
"Ok," Emily smiled, a sad smile. "Don't let those baddies hurt you,"
"I won't," I grinned, "They won't know what's coming. At this Goose purred, meowing to get my attention.
"Yes Goose, they shall fear your name too," I nodded.
Goose purred happily at that.
"Take this," Emily said, handing me a small coin, "The Ancient One said is for luck, so… it might help you,"
[Coin of the Seven Lucky Gods - Tier Unknown - It grants the owner 15% extra LUK when consumed.]
"Thanks," I smiled, putting the coin on the inventory.
"You're welcome!" Emily smiled, grabbing Goose from the floor as she noticed the time on the clock of my room, "I need to go, I'm late for class!" and with that she ran away, taking Goose with her.
"You knew she was going to give me the coin, didn't you?" I asked, feeling the Ancient's One presence as I did so.
"It was a possibility," The Ancient One replied, "You are getting good at feelings my presence,"
"Well, you did tell me you were going to test me on that, so… I studied," I winked, walking out of the room.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Next morning, I woke up and had a big breakfast, then after hugging Emily goodbye, I opened a portal to Canada, my next target to cleanse from the grasp of Hydra. In Canada all I had to do was get on few planes, encountering the map, and well, the next step was easy, meaning all I had to do was go to the airport, if my calculations were right in two weeks, flying to every corner of the country in commercial flying I would know it all about Hydra Canada, also known as the polite division of Hydra, ok enough stereotypes, time to walk out of the airport bathroom, which was where I had opened my portal.
"OH MY GOD!" As soon as I opened the bathroom door of the stall I had teleport in, I saw a couple having sex.
[Jeremy White LV 9], [Andrea Sanchez LV 11]
"Hmm, not the best place to do it," I hummed, as the couple scurried to get dressed.
"Where did you come from?!" the man asked, or rather demanded.
"From the bathroom… I mean… you just saw me walk from the stall," I pointed at the stall.
"I checked before… you know!" The man hissed, as his girlfriend… no, it can be the girlfriend, bathroom sex on a airport? That's more like a fling, or prostitute, or a girl with really low standards.
"Before you know? you mean before you started FUCKING? Please don't hold back from saying it, we are both adults," I rolled my eyes, "Well, I am off to my flight, though a piece of advice, get a motel, sex on the airport bathroom? That's sad, on many levels," I chuckled, tossing the man fifty bucks for a cheap motel, "Today's on me, have fun like it was intended, on a place that won't get you arrested, then again, maybe you are into that, so I won't judge," I shrugged, walking out of the bathroom.
