บท 20: Camilla

While waiting outside the temple for other agents and researchers to finish their work, Arthur took out a lighter from his pocket and started fiddling with it. He made different shapes with his flames like a flame arrow, fireball and even a fire tornado. Suddenly Arthur's enhanced hearing due to Extremis picked up two disturbances in the surroundings… Arthur simply twitched his finger a bit and two small fireballs rapidly flew towards the location of the disturbances.

"Ahhhh..."

Two screams were heard followed by two soldiers jumping out of their covers from behind the trees and were rolling on the ground to extinguish the flames on themselves. Knowing that their cover was blown, the other soldiers came out and aimed their assault rifles at Arthur.

Hearing the commotion, Melinda walked out of the temple and seeing the situation, she simply grabbed her gun in one single fluid motion with practised ease and aimed at the soldiers. There was no hesitation in her movements at all, showing her experience as a veteran.

"Relax Miss May, I can handle these nuisances. You just have to enjoy the show that's about to happen." Arthur just calmly smiled towards May and then slowly walked over towards the soldiers.

"Don't move or your friends will find some new holes in your body." One soldier shouted in a sarcastic manner, but Arthur acted like he didn't hear him. Arthur twichted one of his fingers and then the flames from his lighter instantly morphed into several fire arrows. Then he just pointed his hand towards the soldiers and all arrows drilled into soldiers head accurately, there were no screams of anguish just bodies of the people falling on the ground with a thud. Arthur again waved his hand towards the combat vehicles of the soldier and a bigger fireball flew towards it.

Boom, Boom...

All the vehicles then exploded.

The of sound of the explosions was especially loud.

Arthur turned, flashed May a smile and then casually sat on a nearby rock. May just shook her head helplessly. She now understood why Fury himself ordered for Arthur to be included in this team. Any dangerous situations for them would just seem like a breeze for him.

"What just happened here?"

Coulson came out from inside the cave and saw all the corpses lying around with destroyed vehicles outside and was shocked. When he ordered the agents to clean up, they found someone lying unconscious nearby.The agents then bought her to Coulson.

"Camilla?"

When Coulson saw her face he was surprised: "This is the Peruvian commander and also a friend of mine."

"I'm afraid she's not just a simple friend?" Arthur said with a smile: "And, your friend doesn't seem so friendly."

Coulson just shrugged. Soon Camilla awoke. Coulson then started interrogating her, but then the interrogation turned into chatting about old times. Arthur felt awkward hearing this and said: "Now is not the time Coulson and it's better if you leave your friend here."

"Why?"

"Just… I don't like her." Arthur shrugged and said.

Coulson rolled his eyes, what kind of reason is this?

"Forget it then, but let's hurry up and leave, I think there would be trouble soon."

Soon the agents packed everything of value on the vehicles. May sat on the driver seat, Skye, Fitz, Jemma and others also got into the car. Arthur glanced at Coulson and found him still chatting, so he said: "Let's go."

Not long after, the sound of guns being fired was heard, people from the rebel forces were visible. Camillla took advantage of the situation and escaped towards the rebels, Arthur didn't try to stop her as he wanted Coulson to know about her true colors.

"I knew there would be trouble."

Arthur shook his head and said, then he got out of the car. "You get out of here first and keep the plane ready to takeoff, I will arrive after taking care of this situation."

"Dear, be careful..."

"Don't worry Skye, this is just like an exercise for me."

"Arthur bring her with you, she is dangerous." Coulson said to Arthur.

Arthur didn't reply this time.

Closing the door, May soon started the vehicle and left.

Arthur then started to search for Camilla on the battlefield while constantly dodging the bullets from the rebels. He was doing this to increase his battle experience.

"You should surrender, resistance is futile."

After a few minutes of dodging bullets he felt that he could now dodge them with ease. So he just formed a huge fire dragon and and attacked the rebels. The heat of the flames swallowed the rebels and the issue was solved easily.

"This ability is really good for long distance attacking." Arthur nodded with satisfaction.

Camilla then came out from hiding place and looked at Arthur with fear:"You… how did you do this? Who are you? Are you a Mutant?"

"Mutants aren't the only ones with super powers!" Arthur replied, then grabbed Camilla.

"What do you want with me?" Camilla asked with panic.

"Coulson wants to talk more, the plane must be ready to takeoff by now."

The flames from his lighter formed a surfboard like structure and Arthur jumped on it while carrying Camilla. The board rose into the air and started flying.

"Aaaaaahhhh ..." Camilla screamed in panic, the heat coming from below made her feel like she was about to be cooked.

While Arthur felt like he was surfing just it was on flames. Not long after, Arthur saw their plane and while landing he saw the surprised expressions of Skye, Jemma, Coulson and other agents.

They didn't expect him to come so soon and that too in such a way.

Looking at their stunned expressions, Arthur was very satisfied with his idea. The only downside was that he couldn't yet generate fire on his own and he couldn't fly too high.

"Alright, let's go!"

After landing, the surfboard of flames disappeared and Arthur walked in and said casually while handing Camilla to an agent.

"Are you OK?"

Coulson asked Camilla, who looked like she just woke up from a nightmare.

Camilla didn't seem to be fully conscious yet, as she was shaking her head in a silly manner.

The plane took off slowly and Arthur went to his room and changed his clothes.

Soon someone knocked on his door and after opening it Arthur saw it was Coulson.

"Do you need something?"

"Well, you told me to leave Camilla there itself and you also said that we would encounter difficulties ahead...how did you know?" Coulson asked.

Arthur shook his head: "It doesn't matter now."

"No, this is very important for me." Coulson insisted.

"Well, then I will tell you that I have the ability to see fragments of future but it is out of my control about what I see. Sometimes I will see useless information but today I saw Camilla in the future. I knew that the rebel army will appear, and I knew that you will take her with you on the plane. She had been planning on getting 084 and for that she will take all of you as hostages, although it would be safely solved with no casualties, but the plane would be damage and have a hole. But now it doesn't matter at all."

Arthur grinned and then left.

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

Arthur revealed his ability to see fragments of future to Coulson as it would be convenient for him to do anything and say that this would've been a threat to world.
