Chapter 80: Help
At this moment, a thick fog suddenly appeared on the street, and Garrett and his team disappeared in the mist. Garrett, with a change in his expression, quickly ordered everyone to stop—it was the ability of the mutant Mist from Brotherhood of Mutants.
"Does the Fraternity have a connection with the Brotherhood of Mutants?"
Garrett wasn't giving up; he had the police and agents block the nearby area and called for reinforcements.
On the other side, the appearance of the mist surprised Sloan and the others. Just then, a voice came from the fog: "We are the Brotherhood of Mutants. Follow the red light ahead, and we won't harm you."
Sloan hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's follow."
Everyone followed the red light and soon left the fog, arriving at an underground parking lot. Mist, the mutant wearing a mask, appeared from behind a pillar, pointing to a nearby truck, and said, "There are clothes in the truck. Hurry up and change; I'll take you away."
Sloan remained cautious and asked Mist, "I don't remember having any dealings with mutants. What do you want from us?"
"You'll find out soon."
Mist replied mysteriously. Sloan glanced at him and, along with other escapees like Fox, the Repairman, the Butcher, The Pharmacist, and The Exterminator, went to change clothes near the truck.
Seeing the clothes inside the truck, the assassins were all puzzled—they were hooded sweatshirts with the slogan "Mutants must register" printed on them.
Sloan asked in astonishment, "Are you sure you didn't take the wrong clothes?"
"Don't worry, I didn't."
Mist replied with a mysterious smile. Sloan didn't waste time on further questions and, together with the others, changed into the clothes, pulled up their hoods, and wore masks.
"This way."
Mist led the group through an underground passage to the nearby mall's atrium, where Senator Kelly, who was currently advocating for support of the Mutant Registration Act, was present.
Sloan and the others looked at each other in confusion—what was going on? Mutants opposing themselves?
Although puzzled, they didn't leave. Under Mist's guidance, they shouted the slogan "Mutants must register," drawing cheers from the surrounding crowd.
"Senator Kelly?"
After a while, a group of agents came to check the area. Upon seeing Senator Kelly at the gathering, they were taken aback but then searched elsewhere for their target.
Mutants and assassins couldn't possibly hide here, as Senator Kelly was staunchly against mutants.
Ignoring the agents, Senator Kelly finished his speech and left with his staff, easily bypassing the tightly arranged perimeter set up by Garrett.
Sloan and the others breathed a sigh of relief. They exchanged glances and prepared to escape from Senator Kelly's side. They didn't want to be under the control of mutants, especially these enigmatic ones.
However, at that moment, all the assassins felt a sudden weakness. Their faces changed as they struggled to stand but ended up falling to the ground unconscious, one after another.
Mist sneered nearby,, "You want to leave?"
At the same time, Garrett, who had been searching without success, received another piece of bad news: "The textile factory has been breached by an unknown force, and the mysterious textile machine and several important captives have been taken."
"Damn it!"
John Garrett cursed in frustration. This time, he lost badly.
In Rebirth Hell, Andrew looked at the Loom of Fate in front of him and said with some surprise, "It's actually genuine? I didn't have much hope before."
Yelena curiously asked, "Is this textile machine really related to destiny?"
"It emits a mysterious fluctuation, which means it's an extraordinary item."
Andrew touched the textile machine and said, "Well done, Yelena."
It's worth mentioning that the fluctuation on the Loom of Fate was very mysterious, even Andrew would need some time to study it thoroughly.
Yelena respectfully replied, "Serving the boss is what we should do."
"Don't worry, I won't forget your contribution."
Andrew smiled and asked, "Have you obtained the potion that accelerates recovery?"
Yelena nodded and said, "Yes, we also extracted the training methods for Bullet Time and Curved Bullet Path from the captives. However, they said only a few people can master these two techniques."
"Duplicate the methods for all the Black Widows and see who gets lucky."
Andrew said, "As for the formula of the recovery potion, give it to the Sterns and let him upgrade it further."
"Yes, boss."
Yelena left, and Andrew muttered to himself, "This Fraternity in this world is really unlucky. They were broken by S.H.I.E.L.D. before they even had a chance to make their move. I wonder which deity they offended."
Andrew shook his head, thinking, "The loser protagonist probably won't have a chance to appear. But for him, that might not be a bad thing."
...
Senator Kelly's mansion in New York.
Sloan and the others woke up one after another, finding themselves tied to chairs, facing Senator Kelly. Meanwhile, Toad, Sabertooth, and Mist, three mutants, stood beside him.
"I know you have many doubts, and now you'll understand," Senator Kelly smiled. His body rippled, transforming from an old man in a suit into the blue-skinned shapeshifter, Mystique.
"Mystique!" Sloan exclaimed, "You're so audacious, pretending to be a senator?"
The staunch anti-mutant Senator Kelly had been replaced by Mystique months ago, which was why Mist and his team had been following Senator Kelly.
"More than just pretending, I've killed Senator Kelly a long time ago," Mystique sneered. "I've heard of the Fraternity; you guys are skilled, but unfortunately, you've crossed paths with S.H.I.E.L.D."
"We didn't provoke S.H.I.E.L.D. I still don't know why those damn lunatics came after us."
Sloan grumbled, feeling extremely frustrated. The same went for the others. They were just minding their own business when disaster struck.
Mystique asked, "How you offended them isn't important. What matters is, do you want to retrieve the Loom of Fate and continue your mission?"
"How do you know about the Loom of Fate?" Sloan asked in astonishment. The Loom of Fate was the Fraternity's most significant secret, unknown to outsiders, not even S.H.I.E.L.D., until they breached the textile factory and discovered the mysterious machine.
Most people only knew the Brotherhood for their curving bullets.
"That's not important."
Mystique said enigmatically. In fact, the information about the Fraternity was obtained through a mutant named Sleepwalker, who extracted it from Sloan's dreams—Sloan didn't remember the dream's contents.
"Yes, that's not important. What matters is, we must retrieve the Loom of Fate and continue our mission."
Fox shouted; she was the most faithful believer in the Loom of Fate within the Brotherhood. To put it this way, if her name appeared on the Loom, she would point the gun at her own head without hesitation.
