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

Within a week, Fury found the information I needed, and so I embarked on a small journey to meet with Hank Pym. At the door of his two story house, I knocked at the door, and waited, wondering if he would even accept my offer.

Opening the door, a man in his fifties greeted me, his eyes giving a wary look as he did so. "What can I do for you?" he asked. [Hank Pym LV 30]

"Hello Mr. Pym, my name is Alex Walker, and I… Well, I have a proposition to make." I said, extending my hand for a handshake.

"I am not interested." He almost growled.

"Why is that?" I asked, I mean, he had yet to hear my offer.

"I know what you want, this is not the first time THEY try something like that." He scoffed, getting angrier by the second. "I won't give anyone the formula."

With a smile, I shook my head. "I don't work for them, and even if I did, I have no interest in your formula Mr. Pym." I grinned. "All I want is some… help with my company, nothing more, nothing less."

He stared at me, as if trying to find the lie within my words. "You say you don't work for them, but you still know about them… excuse my skepticism but, I don't believe you." he snarled, throwing the door in my face. But as he did so, I opened a portal behind him.

"I really have no interest in your Pym particles." I said, startling the man who in turn punched me in the face out of instinct. The punch did nothing.

"How did… Nevermind, get out of my house!" He roared, his eyes piercing me like two spears.

"Mr. Pym, I need a scientist to lead my company, not your invention. I assure you, if you give me a minute of your time, you will see all I need is a CEO, one with experience being a scientist." I said, trying to sound as friendly as possible.

"One minute. And then you're gone!" He sighed, gesturing to me to go into his living room in a rather angry manner.

"Thanks, and sorry for the troubles." I smiled, walking into the living room.

Taking a seat, Hank glared at me and said. "Speak, you have one minute, make it worthwhile."

"I have a company that is barely starting out. It specializes in genetics, nanotechnology and human enhancements, as well as molecular and atomic studies. But as of now, it's a money funnel for me, because while smart, I am no scientist, but you are." I said, taking a seat on one of the chairs in his living room. "You are correct to assume I worked with SHIELD, but it was more like an alliance of sorts, we shared the same enemy, and we both teamed up to destroy it."

"What enemy?" Hank asked.

"Hydra." I replied. "They kidnapped me, and tried to… well break me, but in the end, it was me who broke them. In a way." I chuckled.

He stared at me, processing all the information I had just unloaded. "And your partnership with them ended?" he eventually asked.

"I suppose it did. I no longer help them." I replied, for Fury didn't count as SHIELD helping me for me, he was my bro.

"Let's say I believe you." He said, his eyes on the floor. "Let's say that you really don't want my formula, what is it that you want me to do?"

"Help me become a billionaire?" I chuckled. "Look, your formula, your magnum opus, it's yours, what I want it's not only to become a rich man, a very rich man, but to help humanity in the process."

Hank looked at me, and in his eyes I could see a spark of something akin to wishful thinking, like he really wanted to believe me. "Does SHIELD know you're here?" he asked.

"Yes, but worry not. I was clear on my demands, that you were to be left alone." A demand Fury was not happy with, but considering SHIELD considered me an asset bigger than Hank Pym, they complied.

"And you believed them?" He chuckled in a dark tone. "You must be a fool."

"Perhaps." I nodded. "But I am a fool with the power to destroy SHIELD, should they prove to be a nuisance." I smiled. "I alone killed thousands of Hydra bases, SHIELD wants me more than it wants you, and it fears me more than it fears you, as long as I help them every now and then, they will help me every now and then, besides, they know they can't lie to me, my powers make than an impossibility."

"Your powers?" Hank asked with a bit of interest.

"I can… see where everyone's true alliance lies with, so no matter how good a spy is…" I grinned.

"You can see it…" He finished for me. "Remarkable."

"Look, as of now, all of my employees are ex-SHIELD scientists, but should you take this job, you would be free to hire and fire everyone you like." I said.

"If I take this… job, there are some ground rules we need to discuss." Yes! He was giving in! "One, no SHIELD for me, you can keep your alliance with them, but keep them as far away as possible for me."

"I can do that." I nodded.

"Two, my work, my magnum opus as you accurately described is mine, and mine alone, you don't talk about it, you don't ask about it, you don't research about it, understood?" He said, with a tone of finality.

"Of course." I nodded, once again.

"And last, but not least, if I am to be your lead scientist, your CEO, I want to be your partner, not your employee." He finished.

"That can be arranged." I nodded, I mean, I was already prepared to offer him a partnership.

"Then, let's talk business, kid." Hank said, with just the hint of a smile. He was like an onion, with many layers of shit, but a soft center.

"Gladly." I smiled, looking at the clock. "Would you look at that, you gave me four minutes."

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

After two hours discussing with Hank Pym about stocks and how much I could offer him, we came to an agreement for a ten percent of the company on the grounds he would stay until his retirement, which was more than good for me.

After that, we discussed his salary and benefits, and closed the deal with me showing him the company, and him firing all my scientists. Not that I cared really, there were your run of the mill scientists, while Hank Pym, was a god tier scientist.

After that, I left Hank to his own leisure, where he would find and recruit his own group of people, people he trusted, while I went back home, to continue on my research of the super soldier serum.

Later I would do some dungeons, but right now. Right now, I wanted to focus on my research, especially now that I had a genius in my company devising ways to make me money, meaning I had more free time. "Let's see." I muttered, as I went over the blood samples I had in my personal lab, when all of the sudden, my phone rang.

~It's me motherfucker, it's me!~

I turned to look at my phone knowing very well who was calling, Fury. "Hello?" I said, taking the call.

"Alex, I need your help." Fury said, his tone sounding serious.

"What is it?" I asked.

Promptly Fury began to explain what was going on, seemingly some enemy spies had infiltrated the country without SHIELD noticing and all with all the events happening right now, and had stolen some cognitive data from the North Institute, a S.H.I.E.L.D. base that was once secretly run by Hydra a few hours ago. And he needed me to track the spies, and recover the date, for the spies had burned the place down.

"Sure. Count on me." I replied, after he finished his explanation.

"I know I can." Fury replied, sounding a bit happier.

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

Opening a portal to North Institute, I stepped into a scorched view. They really had burned the entire place down, taking a deep breath, I started to look for some clues, something that would lead me to the spies.

Using [Sight] with my satellite, I focused on finding the closest red dots on the world map, in relation to the base, for it would inevitably lead me to my targets. Two minutes in, I found three red dots somewhere in the suburbs of Ohio, two were relatively close, a few meters away, while one was driving towards them. "This feels… familiar." I muttered, as I felt the distinctive feeling of dejavu crawling down my spine.

Shrugging the feeling off, I opened a portal close to their location, in a rather desolated area, the forest nearby.

Stepping out of the portal, I whistled in appreciation. The trees, the smell of the earth, the birds chirping, and the feeling of total solitude, brought back some memories. "It's like the day I came to this world." I chuckled, granted, that time I was naked, and felt helpless, now, helpless would be the last word I would use to describe myself.

Getting out of memory lane for the moment being, I went back to focus, for I had a mission to do. "Now, let's pick a red dot and see what's this is all about." I muttered to myself, eventually deciding to pick the closest red dot to me.

Walking out of the forest, I entered the residential area without raising any suspicion, from the oblivious people living around, as the nurturing rays of sunlight bathed my eyes with blinding love. "God, I need to stop working on the lab so much, or at least I need to do more shit during the day, I feel like a vampire." I hissed, my eyes burning at the sudden change of light. "Ok, time to find the spies, and recover the data." I sighed, walking towards the moving red dot that was conveniently moving towards me at a moderate speed.

Eventually the red dot reached my location, and to say I was surprised was an understatement. The red dot was a girl about ten to eleven years old, cycling down the streets of the suburban area with her bike, without a care for the world as she smiled at everyone around, a smile I knew as fake, fabricated, a trained smile. "A girl is my target…" I muttered, inspecting the girl. At a simple glance as she passed by me, I could tell she was wearing shorts, and a yellow and white top. Her hair was brown, with the majority of it being dyed to pale blue. [Natasha Romanoff LV 17] It wasn't until the girl had passed by, that I had finally noticed her name, Natasha freaking Romanoff.

"Fuck." I sighed, already knowing I would get invested, emotionally speaking with all of this.

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

I followed Natasha through the area, hiding in the shadows as I did so. While I thought about how to approach this, eventually as I pondered about this, Natasha cycled into the driveway of a home, where the other red dot was.

Hiding on the top of a tree, I used [Sight] to see what Natasha was doing, for the moment I would simply observe.

Putting her bike down, she smiled as she walked into the yard of the house, whistling, and then it clicked me, I had seen this… before, which now explained the sense of Dejavu, the girl, aka Natasha, the base being burned, all made sense now, this was the origin story of Natasha, a movie I never got to watch till the end, just the beginning, ergo why I felt so lost.

In the yard of the house, a younger girl around four to five years old played on the swings, smiling as she heard Natasha whistled, eventually whistling back at her.

[Yelena Belova LV 1]

Well, that confirms it, these are the events of the Black Widow movie, or at least the beginning. And more importantly, I was about to fuck canon, if there was something I had learnd from my time in Hydra was… that everyone deserved a choice in life, so I was going to lend the girls under the red room a helping hand, I was going to fuck the russian government.
