Chương 52: Chapter 51: The Witch Is The Witch of the Hand, Harry Finally Becomes the Green Goblin
"Natasha Romanoff, what are you talking about? This is your home," Ethan Hayes said warmly, taking "Natasha Romanoff" by the hand and pulling her into his villa. The beauty in front of him smiled brightly, her charm nearly overwhelming.
Ethan now understood what was really going on. This wasn't the real Natasha Romanoff.
Even without using his water magic abilities to sense her life signature, Ethan knew the woman in front of him wasn't the Black Widow. He couldn't detect the life patterns of the Skrulls, but the system had already informed him—this woman was Raven, the shapeshifting witch.
Ethan had high hopes for Raven. He wasn't worried about her being a Mutant or her potential motives. Instead, he would use this opportunity to his advantage, playing along to see what her true intentions were. For now, he'd enjoy the moment.
"If you didn't disappear this morning without a word, I wouldn't have been left heartbroken for so long," Ethan said, smoothly wrapping his arm around the waist of "Natasha Romanoff."
She felt identical to the real one, down to the details—even the clothes were the same. But Ethan couldn't help but wonder, could Raven shapeshift into clothes too? Or was this outfit part of her body?
The thought piqued his curiosity. He wanted to test the theory but figured now wasn't the time.
"I was called back to S.H.I.E.L.D.," Raven, disguised as Natasha, replied, blinking with faux innocence. "You know, the lizard monster got loose, and I had to get back. But Director Nick told me to take a break first."
"That's good," Ethan said, his voice smooth as silk. "You can stay tonight and leave tomorrow. Don't worry about the lizard monster—if it shows up again, I'll capture it for you as part of our previous deal."
The deal had been made. S.H.I.E.L.D. could handle its own issues. As for the beauty in front of him, that was a personal matter now.
"You don't have to worry about S.H.I.E.L.D.'s failures," Raven said with a sly smile. "Our first deal is completed."
Ethan grinned inwardly. Raven knew about his secret dealings with the real Natasha Romanoff, and that only made this game more interesting.
"And telling me how to track the lizard monster down should come with a bonus," Ethan teased, though his tone remained calm.
Raven, playing along as Natasha, leaned closer. "Aren't your hands already enjoying their interest?" She gently placed her hand over his, stopping his caress. Her playful gaze danced across his face.
"Natasha, you're breaking my heart," Ethan said dramatically. "There's an old saying: 'Once a couple, always indebted.' You can't just forget everything we shared."
Raven chuckled, her laughter soft. "Well, I'm back, aren't I?"
Ethan flashed a knowing smile. "Tell me, who do you want dead? The President? I'm not fond of him either. How about we recreate the Kennedy assassination?"
Ethan's sudden political swing would've shocked the real Natasha. Just yesterday, he had expressed little interest in politics. Now he was suggesting assassinating the President?
Raven, staying in character, rolled her eyes. "No assassination. I just need you to spy for me."
"Spy?" Ethan raised an eyebrow, pretending to be astonished. He couldn't quite guess Raven's full agenda.
"Our intel suggests that the Mutant Brotherhood is planning something big. I need you to get close to Magneto. With your abilities, he'll want to recruit you, and you can get the full details of his plans," Raven said, her voice dropping to a whisper.
Ethan let out a sigh. "Magneto? Even S.H.I.E.L.D. can't get near him."
Raven gritted her teeth. "Ten times. I'll give you ten times, anytime you want."
She just needed to lure Ethan into the Brotherhood's ranks, making him appear like one of Magneto's followers. It would make everyone—S.H.I.E.L.D., the Brotherhood, and other organizations—wary of him.
"Natasha, you've made an offer even a demon like me can't refuse," Ethan said with a mischievous grin, scooping her up into his arms.
"What are you doing?!" Raven protested, caught off guard.
"We didn't finish last night. And since you're here again, it's time for round two," Ethan said, carrying her up the stairs.
Raven was stunned. She had planned to trick him and leave after sealing the deal, but now Ethan was twisting the rules of the original agreement between him and the real Natasha.
"Oh, you've made a mistake coming back," Ethan teased, his voice deep as he carried her upstairs.
Meanwhile, across town, Harry Osborn awoke with a start. The healing armor around him was tight but comfortable. Once, he had looked up to Tony Stark's suits with disdain, but now he understood the value of such technology.
"Dr. Connor… I will make you pay!" Harry growled, his eyes filled with a strange light.
He felt different—stronger. The weak body he had known all his life, riddled with genetic disease, was gone. The intelligent system in his armor confirmed it: he had successfully injected himself with the super soldier serum, albeit a defective version. But it had done the job—he was now far beyond ordinary.
Find Peter Parker, a voice echoed in his mind.
"Who said that?!" Harry demanded, looking around.
I am you. You are me. Together, we will achieve greatness.
The voice was Harry's inner demon, reflecting back at him in the glass. But he didn't care. He had a goal now.
Peter has his father's notebook. It's the key to everything—Dr. Connor's genetic research, your father's legacy. Everything.
Images of his conversations with Dr. Connor flashed through his mind. The lizard gene, the spider gene—everything hinged on Peter Parker's DNA.
"My foolish brother, what have you been hiding?" Harry whispered with a twisted smile.
Across New York, George Stacy stood over the mutilated body of Ruoman Osborn. His head was throbbing from stress, the image of the monstrous lizard-man hybrid still fresh in his mind.
"Director, we've confirmed it—this monster is Dr. Connor," a voice said, pulling George from his thoughts.
Before he could respond, a group of agents in black suits entered the room.
"We're FBI, we'll be taking over this case."
But George recognized Phil Coulson and his team immediately. They weren't FBI—they were S.H.I.E.L.D.
Back at Ethan's place, he ran a hand along Raven's smooth back. The night had gone his way. He grinned to himself. While Raven was imitating Natasha Romanoff, she had been pulled into his game.
"When do we start infiltrating the Brotherhood?" Raven asked, her voice still tinged with that Natasha persona.
Ethan smiled, already thinking ahead. "Give me the details, and I'll meet Magneto by tomorrow morning."
