章節 154: Chapter 154
I noticed a rare opportunity in front of me! I had snuck into Natasha's room to wake the woman up. I could see the beautiful spy/assassin was still soundly asleep in her bed. I could hear her faintly breathing.
I grinned to myself as I made my surprise attack! "Wake up Natasha!" I yelled and jumped over her bed! I tried to land right on top of her!
To my surprise, the blankets flew up at the last second and I felt myself get grabbed out of the air.
"Uh oh…"
Natasha flung me over her shoulder and I flipped over the other side of her bed and collided with the floor!
"I'm ok…"
Natasha sighed. "It's too early for this." She muttered.
Natasha looked a bit hungover. Somehow, Sif had managed to find a place that delivered real Mead last night and the three of us had all had a fair amount of drinks.
Natasha said she envied me, who seemed to be completely fine no matter how much alcohol I had. Can Angel's not get drunk or is your tolerance just that good?" She asked.
"It's just one of my amazing talents." I replied.
"Is there a reason you woke me up so early, Layla." Natasha asked as she clutched her head.
I reached over and used my Purger of Darkness to heal Natasha's hangover.
"Thank you." Natasha said. She looked much better.
"I woke you up because Tony is here and Andrea is awake. I ended up getting some information that I kind of have to act on post haste. I could be gone for a couple of days. Which is awkward because I just got back." I lamented. I didn't want to pass up the chance of acquiring my magic/chakra eyes though! Who knows if some other gamer had the same idea as me and sends the Naruto gamergirl a better offer!?
[You're just being paranoid, Host.]
'I know, but I can't help it!'
"So what? You want me to babysit your niece and the church girl?" Natasha asked.
"Mostly just Asia. She has the power to heal anything and she's way too nice and naive! I don't want to trap her in my apartment, but someone has to monitor her because people will try to take advantage of her." I explained.
I wasn't going to be like the church and not let Asia outside. The Hand was still around though, and so were the remnants of Hydra. I was just worried about the girl's safety.
It also wasn't fair for Akeno to have to keep watching Asia all the time either. I know that Akeno is almost 18, or was she already 18?
[You're a bad aunt…]
…And she should be able to live her own life at that age without having to constantly guard the other girl. 'Also I'm a great Aunt! I saved her from an eternity of slavery!'
"Any injury huh?" Natasha asked in surprise. You know that's an amazingly valuable ability. Many organizations WILL try to kidnap the girl the second they hear about it."
I unfortunately know that. Asia also has zero combat capabilities so she would be pretty much helpless.
"Alright, I'll keep an eye out for her. I'll also have Fury assign her a full time detail. As long as she promises to occasionally heal some of our agents I'm sure he'll agree." Natasha said.
I thanked her. I know Asia would be fine with those terms as well. The girl goes out of her way to heal everyone she can anyway.
Following my short conversation with Natasha, I went to speak with Sif next. It was funny that I also had to cure my other lover's hangover too. It turns out that drinks on Earth were far more developed than they were on Asgard. It's no surprise considering their culture has pretty much stagnated for 1000 years under Odin's rule. Sif wasn't used to drinking Mead that had so much alcohol added to it.
I could have talked with Sif longer, but she told me that she also had to get going. She had been assigned a mission by Hela while she was on Midgard. Thor had yet to return back home. He had apparently been spending most of his 'private' time with a certain Jane Foster…according to Heimdall.
He really is the universe's biggest voyeur…
Before Sif left, I pulled out an Apple of Idun, from my inventory, and handed it to her. "Here, this is for Jane. It would suck, for Thor, if he meets his soulmate, only for her to die of old age in a few decades." I said.
What I didn't say was that I knew it would actually be much sooner for Jane because of cancer… That woman couldn't catch a break.
"What if she refuses?" Sif asked.
"Shove the apple down her throat if she refuses to eat it." I replied with a smile.
Sif grinned at my crazy response. "I'll make sure that she does. Thor is one of our best warriors and it will be hard to convince him to return to Asgard if he has to leave her behind. Especially since his father isn't around to bully him anymore."
I decided not to wake up Akeno or Asia before my departure. Natasha would tell them about my urgent business and that I had to leave.
Before I left, though, I decided to check up on the two new siblings.
I found Tony and Andrea in her living room. They were sitting on her couch and seemed to be getting along. Good for them.
"I can't believe you got together with Pepper. That's so weird. She's like a sister to me!" Andrea said.
"Well, now she's going to be your actual sister because we're engaged." Tony replied.
Andrea made a playful gagging sound. "I hope you didn't knock her up unexpectedly. She was instrumental in running the company."
"Mine too! I don't know what I'd do without her!"
"Yeah…" Andrea trailed off with a far off look.
Tony caught her look and sighed. He realized he accidentally hit a landmine with that comment. It was hard for him to believe there actually existed other universes. Let alone one that got overrun by actual zombies. He was proud of his alternate female self for surviving the whole thing though. Tony could admit he was a narcissist and now he had proof that he really would be able to survive in a zombie apocalypse at least!
"Hey, Tony. Would you mind setting up some US identities for three girls." I cut in between their conversation and asked him.
Tony glanced at me and casually waved. "That's easy. All I need are the girls' basic info and a few pictures of each of them. Text it all to my phone and I'll take care of it all no problem." He then went back to talking with his sister.
"Thanks Tony!" I called out before and let them get back to their conversation. I'd need to stop by the Sanctum, to get some pictures of Heather, before I leave to hunt down a Boosted Gear.
