Chapter 13: Chapter 13 - Minor Inconvenience
Shattering the glass of the window she stepped into the place without a care. She didn't think anyone would hear the muffled sound of glass breaking at this hour of the night.
Nor did she care if they did.
If people were to interpret her, they would simply be added to her list of food— mass for her to grow further.
Especially now that she knew this was the world of Marvel, a dangerous place filled with all sorts of beings and creatures that could end her currently.
None of them however are currently near or in the town she was in, so she didn't have to worry about that yet.
So she calmly looked around the inside of the store after she had entered it, browsing the clothing that we're left out, for anything to wear.
She didn't want anything that would restrict her movement so a dress was out of the picture, they were far too limiting with movement and would damage much easier in the environments she was used to.
Good thing the store had jeans and tops she could wear.
She picked out a simple pair of black jeans and a matching black top. Not only because the colors suited her taste, but also because their darker shades made them blend in better with the environment.
Something she needed as an apex predator.
She quickly slipped into them— fitting her body somewhat loosely due to her small frame. But that made it easier to put them on.
Once she was finished getting dressed she turned to leave the store, however as she was leaving she heard the sound of something suddenly clicking behind her.
A direction in which she noticed a door earlier— a door she thought merely lead to a storage area for the store.
Turning to the door she saw a man that seemed to be somewhere in his late 50s standing at the frame— holding what looked like a shotgun in his hands.
No, it was definitely a shotgun, even in the darkness of the store she could see it very clearly due to her ability to see in the dark.
He didn't even hesitate to pump the gun and point it at her, only hesitating to shoot because of the young look of the girl.
"Who are you?"
The man asked with a thick accent, of which she didn't know.
Her eyes scanned the body of the man trying to remember if he was anyone important in Marvel from what she could remember, only to draw a blank.
This meant he was most likely no one— and was merely a person in this world, a normal person. Granted that normal person had a gun.
Suddenly an idea came to mind as she was observing him— can she take a bullet?
She knew that if she got shot in her head or heart she would die, but her body was much stronger than a normal human body, she just didn't know how much stronger.
She also could heal much faster than a normal human— and consuming mass even sped up that process— so now she was curious just how much she could take.
She decided to test it out, opening her mouth to speak to the man.
"I don't know."
She replied, her voice sounding somewhat hoarse and dry from how long it had been since she had last opened her mouth to speak.
"What do you mean you don't know, why did you break in here?"
The old man asked once more, keeping a keen eye on the movement of the girl.
He noticed every movement she took— so when she suddenly started moving towards him, he suddenly got very tense, aiming to gun at her properly and shouting.
"Don't move!"
He said once more, but she didn't listen, she kept moving— moving closer to him which each step.
The man got tenser, he didn't know what to do. On one hand, she looked like a mere child, on the other hand, she suddenly broke into his store in the middle of the night and is walking toward him.
The darkness didn't help— it added to his fear— the glow in her eyes penetrating the darkness and sending a chill down his spine.
He panicked, and he was about to pull the trigger— about to shoot the girl.
But before he could do that a pain erupted from his chest, it was the worst thing he had ever felt before in his entire life. The coldness suddenly overtook his body as it went limp.
He tried to move but he couldn't— he dropped the gun and his body followed shortly after, falling to the ground as he felt the warmness of his own blood pouring onto his cooling body.
He was dying, he instantly understood that— he could feel all his strength leaving his body and the world around him fading to darkness.
He couldn't hold on much longer, he thought about his grandchildren— they were going to be left all alone with his death, no one left to take care of them.
He couldn't bare with it, his final words muttering out as his life faded away.
"Damn mutant."
Was all he could say, before his life vanished, leaving him dead on the floor.
Chapter 14: Chapter 14 - Improving Stats
Liliana stood there and just watch the man slowly bleeding out until he finally died, she felt nothing watching this, she didn't even feel the slightest hint of guilt or regret from her actions— yes her actions.
When the man was pointing the gun at her she had decided against allowing him to shoot her right here for multiple reasons.
The main two being she didn't know how she would be left after getting shot— and she didn't want to be in an unknown state around a man she didn't know nor trust.
She could always take the gun from him and shot herself later to test it out.
The second was the fact that the gun would be very loud— much louder than the shattering of the glass. That would attract the attention of all the people nearby and cause a hassle for her.
She needed to stay off the radar for now— avoid Shield— and build her power.
The only reason the man heard the glass shattering was because he lived here, something she didn't expect.
So while the man was distracted with her, she ordered one of her hunters to kill him quickly from behind— piercing the man in the heart with its stinger and killing him on the spot.
It was easy since they were always with her— underground.
She ordered them to eat the body of the man, but to leave the blood, that way when the store was found in the morning they would assume someone broke in, was caught and killed the man before fleeing with the body to cover it up.
At least she hoped— she didn't have time to come up with a better plan as something the man had said was playing in her mind.
'Mutants, he definitely said mutants.'
She thought to herself as she went over the possibility of mutants existing alongside the others— that would mean this wasn't the MCU but some world that had both.
She wasn't mad— she wasn't afraid— she was actually very happy.
Mutant abilities were all genetic, and if she ate them she would gain their ability— this was perfect for her.
A smile decorated her face as her mimics finished eating the body, giving her the mass and the DNA the body had stored in it— so she decided to check her status.

(If I'm forgetting anything please comment, I'm kinda stupid.)
As she glanced through her status page, she realized that she had gained 300 mass from eating a normal old man— one that wasn't even that big, to begin with.
That was a lot for something she could do casually, and it was very tempting to just eat everyone in town in order to gain a ton of mass— but that would draw way too much attention to her.
No, she had other things to do first. She decided to use the points she had and finally increase some of her stats.
She could use mass to increase her stats, but as she grew the amount needed to increase them would keep raising as well— that was why it was easy to get strong in the beginning but grew harder the stronger they got for her species.
"Hmmm~"
She hummed to herself as she walked out of the store window, not paying attention too much, instead she thought about what to pour her stats on.
She decided to focus on her agility, durability, and mentality for now. As that would be very important for her species, being able to move quickly and take a lot of damage, while also being able to expand her hive massively.
With that in mind, she poured all her points into these stats, until eventually, it changed.
-----------
Energy: 20
Strength: 15
Durability: 30
Agility: 45
Mental: 60
-----------
Her new stats weren't bad at all, and she could feel how the mass was changing her body— how it worked.
It was like a type of energy flowing through her entire body and enhancing certain parts of her body— changing those parts to be able to do what she wanted them to do.
She could feel her mental capabilities expand even further— her connection with her entire hive growing even clearer, even the ones that were in the forest.
She could control them from all the way here— and that's exactly what she did. Ordering them to dig a tunnel to the outside of the town.
