Chương 189: Chapter 189
In front of one of the most popular and busiest nightclubs in New York city, a purple portal manifested in the air. It drew the gazes of the line of people waiting outside on the streets. Out of the portal stepped to incredibly beautiful and elegantly dressed women. One of those women was the current most famous woman in the world.
Her popularity had dropped a bit after she had declared her pro mutant stance, but only a tiny bit. The majority of her fans still loved her. On top of that, quite a few mutant haters realized how bad they were when a literal Angel said that God accepted mutants.
…
I walked towards the club entrance with my arm around Hela's. The bouncer did a double take at seeing me, but quickly allowed us to enter inside.
I'd never been to a nightclub before and of course neither had Hela. The music was loud, the dance floor was packed, and there were flashing lights everywhere.
"This looks fun!" I said as I dragged Hela over towards the bar. The bartender's eyes widened when I sat myself down on a stool.
"W-welcome! What will you be having?" He asked with only a small nervous stutter.
I put my finger on my chin. "I'm not sure, why don't you surprise me and my friend here. Money isn't a problem." I told him.
"Make sure you give me something strong." Hela said to him and he nodded. She turned towards me and shrugged. "I remember Midgardian booze being pretty weak."
[Obviously it would have been over 1000 years ago. Wine was basically water back then.]
I almost snorted. Hela was going to be in for a rude awakening. I watched the bartender pour us our drinks and he dumped a lot more vodka into Hela's. "Here you are ladies, two Sex on the Beach."
Hela looked at the fruity drink curiously before she took a sip. I laughed when she started coughing! "Nine Hells! Why is that so much stronger than Asgardian mead!?"
"You've got a lot to learn about Midgard. Come on, let's dance." I grabbed Hela's hand and led her to the crowded dance floor. The music was pumping and everyone looked like they were having fun. Hela and I danced for a couple songs and just let ourselves go.
A few guys on the floor tried to get handsy with us, but a few well placed crotch shots seemed to dissuade them.
I could tell that the Queen of Asgard was having a lot of fun. Other than her time with me, she hadn't had any opportunity to have a genuine break. She was freed from her thousand year prison sentence only to immediately be handed the throne and thrust into a war with two other realms. On top of that, her brother Loki was off to who knows where, probably planning to take back the throne from her.
A slower song started playing and couples on the dance floor started holding each other and dancing slower. "Are you having fun?" I asked Hela as she wrapped her arms behind me.
"Indeed I am. Thank you for this." Hela said as we swayed back and forth.
It was a few more songs before we stepped off the dance floor and headed back to the small table where we left our drinks. Hela went to grab hers for another sip but I stopped her. A quick use of [Observe] told me that they had both been heavily spiked. My skill allowed me to see who it was. There was a pair of shifty looking guys glancing at us from one of the corners of the bar.
I waved my hand and a portal to Antarctica opened up beneath the two of them. They both fell through so quickly that nobody noticed.
Hela laughed when she noticed what I just did.
"I'll go order us some more drinks." I said as I stood up.
"No need, I brought you both some." A woman I didn't recognize sat down on the third chair of our small table. She was very nondescript and could easily get lost in a crowd. She placed two drinks I didn't recognize on the table in front of us. My skill told me they weren't spiked so I thanked her and took a sip.
"Thank you. And who might you be?" I asked while setting my drink back down.
"You can call me mystique. I am a member of the Brotherhood of Mutants." The woman said. "Her eyes flashed gold for a moment before turning brown again.
"Interesting skill." Hela commented.
Mystique glanced at Hela but clearly had no idea who she was. Most of her attention was solely on me. I could tell that Hela found that amusing for once.
"It's nice to meet the famous Angel. Although, I didn't expect you to be so ruthless. Where did you send those two boys?" Mystique asked and tilted her head towards the corner.
"They weren't boys. They were men. Men who chose to try and drug women. I sent them to Antarctica where they will probably both freeze to death within a half hour." I spat out.
Mystique nodded. "Fair enough. I came to make you an offer on behalf of the Brotherhood's leader, Magento. He is pleased with your pro-mutant stance on the internet and wishes to meet you." Mystique said. "I can lead you to him if you would like.
I scoffed. "Lead me to him." I waved my hand flippantly. "No thanks. If he needs anything from me, he'll have to get in line and make an appointment. I'm actually in the process of getting my very own secretary soon. You'll be able to reach out to her and my people can talk to your people and all that…" I trailed off with a laugh.
Hela was grinning next to me.
Mystique scowled. "Magneto is not a man who likes to be ignored. You have no idea how powerful he is!" She said threateningly.
Hela's eyes narrowed when Mystique threatened me. Faster then the disguised mutant could react, she reached over and grabbed her by the throat! "You will NEVER threaten the woman I love in my presence again or I will hunt down you and every last member of your Brotherhood!" Hela spat out as she squeezed her hand. "I am Hela, Queen of Asgard! Layla is my betrothed!"
Mystique gasped for breath and tried to break free but she wasn't even close to strong enough. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" She rasped and stopped struggling. Her eyes were looking at Hela in terror.
Hela let her go. Mystique coughed violently as she regained her breath. Once she did, Mystique quickly stood up and slipped away through the crowds in a hurry.
"I hope I curved her arrogance there. Being able to shapeshift is an interesting ability, but useless against anyone who has magic sight like us." Hela said.
I shrugged. I didn't really care about Mystique either way. She was supposed to be a terrorist and was on the FBIs most wanted list. "Forget about her." I stood back up. "Let's have some more fun!" I grabbed Hela's hand in my own and smiled brightly at her.
