Capítulo 21: Searching for Intel: The New Threats
The jarring chime of the alarm shattered my sleep. I awoke with a start, my senses heightened as if they had been finely tuned overnight. Every creak in the apartment and every subtle shift in the air felt magnified. My body felt different—stronger, more resilient, ready to respond to any threat. I tried to push away the edge of unease that came with this heightened vigilance, but it lingered persistently.
Dragging myself out of bed, I marveled at the changes in my physique. I had grown taller and more defined, my muscles firmer. My vision was exceptionally clear, and my overall perception seemed sharper. The enhancements were evident, signaling that my recent rewards were beginning to take effect.
I dressed quickly, acutely aware that time was slipping away. The city outside was a maze of opportunity and danger, demanding careful navigation. I headed towards a construction site a renovation zone that was quiet and free from surveillance . It was the ideal setting for discreet training.
The hours I spent at the construction site were intense. I pushed my limits with a rigorous regimen of strikes, kicks, and evasive maneuvers. Each movement felt more natural and precise, reinforcing the effectiveness of my recent improvements. The clarity of my mind and the sharpness of my body confirmed that my training was paying off, rapidly advancing my combat skills.
Afterward, I made my way to a nearby computer café. Paying for access, I dove into a deep web search, focusing on Stark Industries, Pym Technologies, Osborn Group, Life Foundation, and key figures like Tony Stark and Reed Richards. I also searched for Captain America and Hydra. Information on Hydra was scant, revealing only its ambitions for world domination.
Several patterns emerged from the data:
Reed Richards was working with Victor Von Doom on a planned space mission.
Mutants were viewed as a plague, influencing public perception and policy.
Magneto led attacks on facilities that detained mutants, while Professor X worked to improve mutant-human relations.
The Green Monster, presumably the Hulk, had clashed with military forces multiple times.
Rumors of a flaming skull hinted at the presence of Ghost Rider.
The emergence of a new Spider-Man was particularly intriguing. Speculation about his origin ranged from alien to military project. Public opinion was polarized, with some journalists, like J. Jonah Jameson, vocally opposing vigilantes. This Spider-Man plotline seemed imminent.
There were also rumors of a vampire presence and a mysterious Daredevil operating in Hell's Kitchen.
The current portrayal of Wakanda aligned with the movies, but I suspected SHIELD and other organizations were aware of its true status. Additionally, the Life Foundation's rocket was set to return by December, which could be significant.
Emma Frost was the CEO of Frost Industries. I needed to determine if she was indeed the White Queen, whether Sebastian Shaw is alive, and if a Black Queen existed.
Leaving the café, I was weighed down by the enormity of the challenges ahead. The world I had entered was a volatile mix of heroes, villains, cosmic entities, and hidden agendas. My immediate goals were clear but fraught with danger: Change my residence, find resources and information, increase assimilation and ready to face the whole world.
As evening approached, I prepared for a new mission: to increase my assimilation of Coulson and Bucky Barnes. Hell's Kitchen, with its notorious gangs and bustling underworld, seemed like the ideal environment for gathering information and testing my combat skills. I changed into inconspicuous clothing and set out, determined to achieve my objectives.
As I walked through the dimly lit streets, I reflected on the complexities of this world. The potential for betrayal was enormous, and even seemingly reliable figures could turn out to be agents of chaos. The prospect of confronting a corrupted Captain America, an arrogant Tony Stark, or other looming threats was unsettling. I resolved to remain vigilant, never fully trusting anyone, and always preparing for the worst since this is marvel multiverse.

In another part of the city, within a shadowy, dimly lit office, the atmosphere was thick with unease. The room was sparsely decorated, with dark mahogany furniture and a heavy, opulent carpet that absorbed every sound.
A man in a perfectly tailored suit, his broad shoulders and imposing presence emphasized by the shadows, turned to his aide. His expression was one of barely contained frustration. "When will the item arrive?" he demanded, his voice calm but edged with irritation.
The aide, a tall and wiry man with a rough demeanor, glanced at the clipboard he held. "It'll take at least a month," he said, his tone terse and clipped.
The man's face tightened with irritation. "A month? Why the delay?"
The aide shifted uncomfortably, clearly uneasy under the scrutiny. "Daredevil and the Punisher are constantly attacking our base. And now this new Spider-Man has joined them, making things even more complicated."
The man's eyes narrowed, his frustration evident. "Two problems were already causing us headaches. Now, another one?"
The aide nodded. "The new Spider-Man is particularly troublesome. His agility makes him a difficult target."
He ran a hand over his bald head, his frustration turning to cold calculation. "And Bullseye? When will he return?"
"Not for at least two weeks," the aide replied. "He's tied up with the Hand, and the deal requires additional precautions due to recent complications."
The man's gaze turned steely. "Let him stay where he is. We'll manage without him for now. Find Kilgrave. We need him for a commission."
The aide hesitated, a flicker of concern crossing his face. "Kilgrave? He could uncover our secrets."
The man's expression hardened. "Just send a pawn. We can't afford any more delays. His skills are too valuable. We need action now."
The aide nodded and quickly left the room, his footsteps echoing in the silence.
The man, now fully revealed as the imposing Wilson Fisk—infamously known as Kingpin—stood up from his chair. His substantial girth and bald head were accentuated by the shadows. He walked with deliberate, heavy steps to the tall window behind his desk, looking out over the city below. The view was obscured by the night's haze, with the city lights flickering like distant, defiant stars.
Kingpin's gaze was unyielding as he surveyed the sprawling metropolis beneath him. "They keep coming like cockroaches," he muttered, his voice a low, gravelly rumble. "But in the end, no one is immune to death." His hand clenched into a fist, his knuckles white with resolve. "I'll use them to demonstrate what happens when they cross Kingpin."
The oppressive silence of the office seemed to deepen, mingling with Kingpin's grim resolve. The city below remained blissfully unaware of the dark machinations being set into motion, but Kingpin was determined to use every tool at his disposal to remind the world of the dire consequences of defying him.
