Chapitre 70: Eliminating Threats before they occur!
The rest of the day went on normally.
Sam got his injection, Steve completed his transformation, and Natasha got to play with Lilith a little longer before they all left.
Emma wiped their memories of most of today's events, changing the info of many things to protect her family. If it wasn't necessary she wouldn't do it. Extremis was very eye-catching, the less people who knew, the better.
That's why every user was approached secretly without knowing the identity of the supplier.
Viktor continued studying Extremis on his free time, but still spent most of his time playing with Lilith.
Clint got his Serum and his eyes were enhanced.
Lucky guy.
Nick also followed the 'mysterious man's' suggestion and found Charles for a partnership, pooling Charles', Nick's, and Tony's money together to create the new SWORD base in upstate New York.
There was also an Avengers compound not too far away.
Charles flew to the US and agreed to help as long as Fury helped create a better image for the Mutants. Fury promised and agreed.
So now SWORD had Mutant agents.
The Avengers were at Avengers Tower in New York most of the time if they weren't on missions or named Clint Barton.
Nick got his serums and added 10 new level 10 agents that he trusted.
Maria Hill was one of them.
Sharon Carter was another.
SWORD was shaping up and rebuilding after the tragedy from before! Charles proved to be immensely helpful and found tons of HYDRA agents trying to sneak back in.
Needless to say, they were captured, tortured, interrogated, and executed.
It was clean and simple.
SWORD started collecting data again, adding to their archives as they added more and more members. The HYDRA information was a large chunk of their new data files and Charles helped there too, he didn't even need torture.
He read their minds and gave Nick the information.
Nick thanked him and sent every single HYDRA agent to the farm my dog went to.
It was strange, wouldn't HYDRA just rebuild on that farm?
Maybe they would have HYDRA dogs now, sigh…
Everything was going smoothly and a year quietly passed.
Viktor used the 4 draws and got some okay stuff, nothing really crazy…
[Peak Genetic Research Skill]
[Peak Cell Biology Skill]
[X-Gene Evolution]
[Enhanced Physique Pill]
Viktor digested the knowledge and threw the X-Gene evolution at Cordelia, upgrading her Penetration vision drastically.
She could not only see a person's entire insides clearly, but also shoot heat ray lasers from her eyes whenever she wanted.
If she could fly, she could cosplay as Superman!
As for the pill, Viktor gave it to Lilith as a candy.
He didn't need it, neither did Emma, and between his little demon and Cordelia…
The choice was obvious.
However, something unexpected happened!
Lilith expelled all her impurities forever, her physique upgraded, but… Her X-Gene evolved!
Viktor found out from a prompt as Lilith couldn't use her powers at all.
[Enhanced Physique Pill: Cleanses every cell of the body, rendering the user a much more powerful physique, longer life free of illness, and enhancing any and every cell of the body. Note: May make X-Genes evolve with a 3% chance]
Viktor was worried that the little demon would be hurt, but she was thankfully fine.
Actually, his little demon was incredibly amazing.
She walked at 5 months, ran at 7, and said her first word at 10…
She was only 15 months old at this moment.
Several more words were added to her vocabulary and she was very close to completing a full sentence.
Viktor was completely dumbfounded, but Emma thought it was as it should be.
This was HER daughter, okay?
Obviously, she's the best…
Viktor decided to keep a watch on the little lady if she suddenly broke out with a crazy mutant power without being able to control it, forget about hurting Emma, she might hurt herself!
As for asking Charles for help…
Hah!
This damn bastard would probably trick her into his school, right?
Viktor was getting a bit nervous as the days went by. Now he had to watch his little demon with great care, not only that but if someone found out that she had Mutant powers, even if they were a Mutant…
Viktor didn't want to have a 3-way meeting with Charles and Magneto… His little demon was staying with him, he didn't want her to be dragged into Mutant struggles…
Speaking of Mutant struggles…
Viktor looked at the file in his hand with a ruthless expression. He was wearing a black hoodie with a half-face mask. The bottom of the mask was a skull teeth pattern. The rest of his clothes were black and he left Kikoku at home.
On his phone there were 2 names.
Bolivar Trask
Zander Rice
He calculated their whereabouts and flew into the sky, disappearing in an instant.
A while later
Viktor floated down from the sky over a building.
He put his phone in his pocket, putting on black glasses.
Mars said "Sir, Trask's whereabouts have been confirmed to be in this location. Many Mutant children have been reported being seen in this area."
Viktor's glasses lit up from the inside and a bunch of information appeared in the corner of his eye. He looked down at the building and gripped the air towards the roof.
He pulled his hand back violently and the roof was ripped off the building itself.
The scientists inside were shocked and looked up to see a man floating in the sky.
Viktor slowly floated down and looked at the Sentinel Robots. He scanned the scientists before Mars locked on a certain dwarf man.
Viktor turned to him and floated over, gripping towards the little man.
Needless to say, the man was Trask!
He looked at Viktor and said "A Mutant?" Viktor spoke in a distorted voice "Wrong." he waved his hand and the entire lab started trembling.
All the cameras were crushed, the rest of the scientists were turned into meat paste from the sudden gravity. Viktor looked at Trask and said "Unfortunately, you decided to be an enemy to the Mutants. That is your crime."
Trask was calm as he said "Who are you?" Viktor replied "I'm not as stupid as you." he flicked his arm and a USB inserted itself into the computers, downloading all the data of Trask's Sentinel project before deleting it all.
The USB flew back to Viktor and into his pocket as he looked at the Sentinels, saying "Unfortunately for you, you'll die without anyone knowing about the Sentinels. All your progress is mine, even your Sentinels. Even if they blame the Mutants for this, there's nothing they can do."
Trask replied "Even if you kill me, there will be more." Viktor nodded and said "I know. You're only the first target. The second is a man who created a 'cure', spreading it through water, slowly exterminating Mutants everywhere. He hasn't even thought of this yet, he should be… 20 years old now?"
Trask was stunned and said "You're going to kill an innocent man?!" Viktor sneered "Innocent? Hehe~ Who said I was going to kill him? I'll take you to see a show, my little scapegoat…"
The Sentinels flew into the air and Viktor followed after them, bringing Trask and the little Mutant children with him.
They flew across the country as people noticed that there was a mess at Trask Industries!
They investigated and saw corpses everywhere along with a hole in the roof.
Suddenly, they heard terrifying news.
A Trask Industries robot murdered Zander Rice before malfunctioning and self combusting, annihilating a block.
Trask was watching this and turned pale. He was completely ruined!
Viktor chuckled "Human on Human violence, how can they deal with Mutants if they're so busy looking for you?" he sighed and shook his head, saying "It's a shame, they'll never find you." as he clenched his fist.
Trask turned into a meatball instantly, blood splashing all over the place but stopping in mid air.
Viktor curled his finger and everything flew towards him.
A voice recording escaped from the robot in Trask's voice "Zander… Rice… dangerous… competitor…" before buzzing out.
But it was too late, the message was clear to everyone on the scene.
Trask killed Rice to eliminate the competition.
It's just that he didn't expect his robot to malfunction and explode, rendering him a criminal on the run.
When they went to Trask's company and house, he was gone!
A manhunt was issued.
Currently, Trask was a floating ball of meat and blood.
Viktor flew through the sky with the Mutant children behind him as he continued condensing the ball smaller and smaller before tossing it into the ocean.
Trask officially disappeared and Rice was a poor casualty…
He didn't even think about cleaning up Mutants yet.
It's a shame Viktor had seen this plot too many times before.
Since Lilith's evolution, Viktor decided to eliminate all threats, past, present, or future!
He took out his phone and started searching for the next target.
Jonathan Sublime.
Originally a bacteria that could infect humans but it was useless against mutants, so the bacteria wanted to annihilate them all. It infected a scientist and started researching ways to kill them all.
Viktor only knew this from the comics, and he didn't know if Sublime was a thing or not, but there was indeed a Johnathan Sublime!
Viktor traveled the world and smashed Sublime to meat paste, cut him into a million pieces in the air over the ocean before injecting the amalgamation with the purposely unstable Extremis.
The temperature of the meat blob got hotter and hotter and it actually started screaming in pain and fear, shouting "Why are you doing this to me!?" Viktor said "Blame yourself for trying to eliminate Mutants, you disgusting single celled organism."
He hovered it over the ocean and it exploded, instantly vaporizing every cell there.
Viktor didn't even look at it anymore and flew to England.
He dropped off the Mutant children he collected along the way at Charles' school, left a note, and went back home.
He teleported into the house and Lilith ran over to him with her hands out, saying "Daddy! Daddy!" Viktor took off the mask and smiled happily, picking Lilith up as she said "Airplane! Airplane!"
Viktor laughed and tossed her in the air, floating her around the room as she giggled happily. She fell back into Viktor's arms as he kissed all over her face, saying "Who do you love most, it's daddy, right?"
Lilith clapped and said "Daddy! Hehehehehe~" Emma pouted at her, saying "You don't love Mommy?" as she pretended to wipe a tear, looking sad. Lilith giggled, reaching out to Emma, saying "Mommy!"
Viktor floated Lilith over and she latched onto Emma, nestling in her arms.
Emma kissed Lilith and rested her on her shoulder as she looked at Viktor, asking "Where did you go?" Viktor smiled and said "Out for a walk."
Emma hummed and swiped in the air.
A light screen appeared and she read aloud "Trask Industries Robots gone rogue! Killing several dozen people via accidental malfunction while trying to eliminate competition…"
She smiled, "Very interesting article, don't you think?" Viktor raised his brows and said "It really is! That little dwarf really went crazy, who knew?" Emma rolled her eyes and closed the light screen, saying "I hope on your next 'walk' you don't travel across the world!" before walking away.
Viktor chuckled and followed her, rubbing her arms and kissing her cheek, whispering in her ear, making her roll her eyes with a sweet smile.
