บท 21: Chapter 20: Never trust a Pool

Having finished their 'shoot' and some 'bonus scenes' both Ethen and Tonja are lying on the floor naked, except for Tonja still wearing the black stockings and collar and Ethen still having on the camera and red bow tie.

Looking at the beautiful side Tona is currently making with her back slightly arched and her perfectly rounded tits heaving up and down, Ethen asks her. ''What are we to each other now? And please don't say we are just friends!''

Mirroring his gaze, Tonja bites her lip before answering. ''We are obviously more than that and you know it... Let's go with lovers for now.''

''I am okay with that for now... Wanna talk?'' Says Ethen, before remembering their armors sets.

Shaking her head while smiling at him Tonja says. ''No.''

Nodding Ethen says. ''Good... I think we should get dressed. Eitri, Sindri and Brock are most likely already waiting for us!''

''You are right!...'' Says Tonja instantly revitalized, the sex-induced exhaustion instantly gone as she states excitedly. ''... I can't wait to get my hands on the Mark XIII!''

Half an hour a once again clothed Ethen and also dressed Tonja join the dwarfs and Deadpool at the acid tempering baths.

''I think it is time we get these quickly now!'' States Eitri, his gaze fixed to the armors submerged in acid.

Cocking his head Sindri asks. ''Which one first?''

''The one in red!...'' States Eitri, before explaining. ''... Bright colors such as that often get loose their shine if too long submerged in acid.''

That said, Brokk and Ethen work together to lift the armor out of the acid bath. Only now with the armor out of the bath, does its color pallet shine through. Aside from Tonjas trademark red and gold, the armor also has some white and brown applications here and there aside from the right arms exposed grey 'Elemental-Repulsor'.

Seeing Tonjas excitement, Sindri tells her. ''Try it on my lady!''

Hesitating, Tonja approaches her new armor as suddenly Little Back awakens inside of her equally excited.

(Little Black) ''Big Sis! Big Sis! I think I can link myself with that armor! It feels somehow familiar...''

Remembering that her armor in the acid bath together with Ethens that is forged out of the Symbiote God, the feeling that 'Little Black' describes makes somewhat sense. So Tonja concludes that the Primordial Symbiotic Metal has most likely infected her Mark XIII.

-Then do it when I touch the armor...- She tells her symbiote, as the places her left hand on the armor.

In under a second, the total reacts to her, as it attaches itself to Tonjas body, merging with it.

(Little Black) ''It works, it works! I am liked with that armor. From now on you only need to say or think that you want to wear it, I can have it assemble from your bones.''

-Little Black have you become my new Jarvis?-

(Little Black) ''What is a Jarvis?''

While Tonja is bonding with her armor thanks to Little Black, Ethen is forced to let the three dwarfs endanger themselves, as they take out his armor. Totally made out of Primordial Symbiotic Metal his armor is totally grey except for the white Coat of Arms in the middle of his chest. Combining soft fabric with crude armor plating, the 'Champion's Mantle' looks light, but weights triple Tonjas Mark XIII.

As Ethen gets closer to the suit of armor, Silver suddenly tells him.

(Silver) ''User compatible hardware detected... Initializing bonding... Conscious Remnant (neutral) detected... Initializing merging of System Avatar 'Silver' and consciousness...''

As then hears Siver female voice in his head, the 'Champion's Mantle' starts glowing white before vanishing into thin air, as 'Silver' declares. ''New User application created... New Application 'Champion's Mantle' available... New Application 'Champion's Mantle' unlocked for User...''

While everything is happening too fast, three dwarfs are totally stunned speechless. Initially just surprised that the Mark XIII had some kind of 'Bonding Function', before calming realizing that Tonja was a host to a Klyntar Symbiote, the three had their mind blown away by Ethen. Without even touching the armor he simply 'willed' it on his body. Having their consciousness leave their bodies, Eitri, Sindri, and Brokk are unable to even comprehend the use of technology used.

Stepping in front of Eitri, wearing his armor, retracting its helmet into the collar line, Ethen tells him, while handing over the small camera they used to shoot the porno. ''Here the ahm... 'payment' for your excellent services.''

''Ah, thank you for filming the Instruction Video 'How to not harass woman'. I hope that helps since I don't want to see some dwarfs be sent into the infirmary. Not after so many were hurt when wanting to 'helped' Lady Sif into her armor.''

Listening in on Ethen and Eitri's conversation, Tonja snatches the camera out of the dwarf's hand, asking. ''How to not harass a woman?''

Angry Ethen realizing the culprit snatches the camera from Tonjas and crushes it between his thumb and index finger, shouting. ''DEADPOOL!''

Knowing that he fucked up, the skull is nowhere to be seen but heard. ''Hey I only wanted to help you, bro! Since the two of you weren't together. This Pool simply had the purest intention! I just wanted to play the fairy godmother for the two of you and show the executives at Disney how kid-friendly I am... Oh, and look how the two of you are so much closer to each other!''

Using his x-ray vision, Ethen instantly makes out the 'Visionary Director' Pool.

Not even five minutes later, Deadpool's head is dumped into the acids a punishment. Feeling the burning sensation of acid burning his skin, as his regenerative powers are countering them, he wails. ''I already said that I am sorry.''

Having learned their lesson not to 'Never trust a Pool', Ethen activates the Multiverse Gate, while Tonja says her goodbyes to the dwarfs. Having the Gate already open, Ethen turns to Eitri. ''I am sorry we didn't pay you guys.''

''Forging with a new type of metal and experiencing new technology is already repayment enough... Oh and take that one with you... '' Tells him the dwarfen King, before throwing him Deadpool. ''... We don't need a talking head. He could mess with the young once minds, misleading them or sending them down dark paths.''

''Hey! I am a man of culture dum old Gaylord!'' Shouts Deadpool.

Pointing his finger ad the skull Eitri says. ''You see what I am talking about!''

Knowing what the king is talking about, Ethen fastens the head to his belt and joins Tonja in of the gateway. Looking into her eyes he asks her. ''Wanna go back to your universe? I bet Pepper is already eager to see you again.''

''No, I don't think so... Going by the skulls words, she is already banging Happy...'' Tonja tells him. ''... Also, I find it exciting to travel the multiverse with you.''

''Hey don't forget about your trusty guide!'' Complains Deadpool, unhappy to once again cosplaying as Mimir.

Smiling at Ethen Tonja tells him. ''I would, if I could, you know?!''

''Hey I heard that!'' Shouts a certain Pool.

Before anybody can say anything, a loud commotion nears them, as Brokk and Sindri are pulling a large cart.

Spotting his two nephews, Eitri shouts angry. ''Sindri! Brokk! What are you two idiots doing?''

Smiling proudly Brokk announced.''We are going on an adventure, uncle!''

Getting angry, seeing Brokk's smug face, Eitri gets even more enraged. ''You two are going nowhere! What are you even thinking! We dwarfs aren't meant to fight!''

''We know and are aware of that dear uncle...'' Starts Sindri explaining. ''... Because of that fact, we never brought that up, but now we can join Lady Stark and Sir Wayne. They certainly are strong and able to protect the two of us... If not, we sure can make them able to do so!''

Seeing the two young stubborn dwarfs and remembering his own youth, Eitri nods, before turning to Tonja and Ethen. ''Are you willing to take these two rock heads with you and protect them?''

Excited to continue working with the two for future inevitable upgrades of her Armor, Tonja instantly says. ''Yes, we absolutely can!''
