Chapter 42 - Give me a reason to let you Go

Arthur slowly walked towards Professor Connor's and saw that the green reptile seemed to fainted due to the crash. In this short skirmish he didn't use his other abilities like Telekinesis Or fire manipulation but put his super strength and durability to use. It gave him a nice adrenaline boost and feeling of satisfaction, tho not on the level of an [email protected]

"Wake up now professor and stop pretending to be dead." Arthur kicked the lizard a few times and soon the Lizard opened his eyes. As soon as he woke up, the lizard rapidly moved his arms to hit Arthur and catch him off guard with the sneak attack.

"Look out!!" Marrow couldn't help but shout.

Arthur just moved his finger and the rapidly zooming in punches of the Lizard came to an abrupt halt right in their place.

The lizard professor was a little bewildered. But soon he got out of his daze and started to forcefully resist the effects of the Telekinesis. Soon Green veins were visible on the body of the Lizard who was trying desperately to move, Arthur could feel a very slight strain in his mind but it was definitely not enough to overcome his telekinesis hold.

"Stupid lizard, you better stop resisting now otherwise I won't mind turning you into a roasted lizard!" Arthur raised his hand and a flame was released out of it instantly. The high temperature of more than thousand degrees that the Lizard could feel near his face made him understand how futile his resistance was. The flame was completely capable of making the professor into barbequed Lizard.

"You…who are you?" asked the Professor Connor hoarsely.

"Who I am is not is important. What's important is I wanna know, why do you wanna kidnap that Mutant girl."

"She has the power to grow and control bones…" said the professor.

Although it was only one sentence, Arthur immediately understood the inside story and said: "No wonder you are not playing with Spidey but ran over to catch a Mutant. You saw that she could grow bones, so you wanted to study and research to see if she can make your amputed arm come back?"(A/N While it is true that The Lizard has an incredible regeneration and can restore broken limbs too, it is limited only to his Lizards form. After he morphs back into human, his arm remains amputed I think.)

"If it was you in my shoes, wouldn't you do the same." Professor Lizard snorted and then said: "Listen, I don't want to be your enemy, if you let me go, I promise never to trouble that mutant again."

"Is that so? So you can come and go whenever you want, try to kidnap anyone you want and then leave without any consequences?" Arthur said coldly, and then increased the size of the flame on his hands. The flames reached the lizard and soon his screams started echoing.

"No… don't… Please let me go, please…" The loud screams of the lizard were heard even a kilometre away.

"My name is Arthur Wolf. I am working at SHIELD for a while. If I remember correctly, you seem to be on the SHIELD's wanted list? So why should I let you go? Did you think that I would be as stupid as Spiderman, every time just catpure you, then let you run away, then again catpure you and Play this game of tag?" Arthur asked mockingly.

The professor could feel that Arthur could kill him. Unlike Spiderman or others, because of their so-called justice or kindness or naivety, even if they capture him, he would at most be locked up. But now, He could feel the murderousness intent of Arthur, real killing intent.

"I am willing to surrender to you, I am willing to be your henchman, I can do a lot of things for you, I am a Biology professor, I know a lot about science, I can be of use to you, please, don't kill me…" The professor screamed loudly.

"Biology Professor and Scientist, huh."

The professor felt that the flames seemed to stop burning him for a bit, knowing that there was still a chance for him, he said quickly: "I know a lot about biology and I have my own laboratory, I developed this Lizard serum myself. I am willing to work for you!"

"It sounds a bit interesting, but the question is… Why should I believe in you?"

"You are very strong so I dare not lie to you! If I lie to you, and try to run away, I probably can't hide from you." Professor said in a hurry.

"hmm!" Arthur snorted, then absorbed the flame back into him and released the Lizard from his Telekinetic hold.

The professor fell on the ground, and his body was faintly exuding a burning smell. He looked very miserable, but soon his burn wounds started mending themselves due to his regeneration.

"I will believe in you for the time being, but you better show your value later. For now you can go and get your situation in order, and when I form my team I will call you. Even regenerating your arm wouldn't be impossible. But if you betray my trust, I will find you and your end won't be pretty at all." Arthur said, the lizard professor hearing this nodded and sprinted to get away.

The professor must be very depressed now. Thinking that it would be very easy to capture a mutant and restore his arm. As a result, let alone catching the mutant, he almost gave up on his life. Arthur didn't completely believe in him, but he didn't need to worry about any of his little tricks. This was because of his strength.

"Look, it's as simple as that to solve the problem from its roots." Arthur turned and walked over, moving towards Blink and Marrow and said.

The expressions of the two was of admiration towards him. They couldn't believe that something which would have forced them to flee was solved by Arthur so easily. This proved the strength of Arthur to them and raised their determination to become stronger!

"I… can I follow you too?" Marrow was a little nervous, and asked Arthur with eyes full of expectations.

"Of course, I am building my own team. If you are willing to join us, then I am happy to have you with us. From now on your code name will be Marrow."

Arthur was satisfied with the initiative of marrow. Although he didn't know the strength of the Marrow at the moment, her ability could make her a powerful combatant.
