.....
Strolling side by side, Adrian and Jean arrived at the school cafeteria. Seeing it closed, with the first lesson only just started, they decided to go to a diner just outside of the school.
In silence, they walked next to each other, several thoughts squirming through Adrian's head. Adrian was thinking about the power that Death showed. According to his information, that was just her 'announcing' her presence. Meaning she didn't even display any abilities, just her shadow's presence was enough to stop Jean completely.
'Absolute bullshit,' Adrian thought. 'How strong must an entity like her be for just her presence to cause some kind of change around it?'
Adrian and Jean arrived not long later and sat down, waiting for a waitress.
A few seconds of waiting later, and she arrived with the menus.
"Hello, would you like anything to start with or the meals first?" A blonde waitress asked.
Adrian looked up at the blonde woman.
The blonde waitress, noticing Adrian's eyes, started to sweat coldly. 'Did he notice?' she hastily wondered as she tried to keep her expression neutral.
"Anything good that has chocolate, lots of chocolate," Adrian said. He loved chocolate, and now that he thought about it, he hasn't eaten that divine delicacy in a long time.
[CHOCOLATE!!!] Venom roared excitedly, leaving the other symbiotes living in Adrian's body unexpectedly surprised by Venom's outburst.
Now they were curious to know what this chocolate was.
"I recommend the Chocolate Parfait," The blonde woman responded, smiling.
"Then I will take that, thank you."
The blonde waitress nodded and jotted it down.
The waitress looked at Jean, and asked with her customer smile, "and what would you like, miss?"
Jean, still lost in thought, snapped out of it and murmured, "Huh? Sorry, what?"
"No problem, what would you like, miss?" The waitress asked again.
"Oh!" Jean quickly scanned the menu and said, "I want the hamburger please," pointing to a beautifully presented burger.
"Yep, anything else?" The waitress wrote and asked.
As the waitress was walking back, Adrian's gaze never left her, almost like he suspected her of something.
'I see, this is useful.' Identifying it, he left the waitress alone.
Adrian looked back at Jean, who was still a bit out of it. "Don't think about it too much."
"Huh?"
"As I said before, I don't want you bad, I just want your help and in return, you help me, this is simple, right?"
Hearing and understanding what he said, Jean was relieved.
'Okay, I don't need to think about it too much. Overthinking has always been a flaw of mine. I always just do it over the simplest of issues... Even after going through that situation, I haven't changed, huh?'
Jean didn't verbally express anything, but Adrian could see that she was calmer, and like that, they waited for orders in silence. Adrian doesn't know how to start a conversation, and Jean just keeps quiet. This situation had never arisen before for him, and he didn't know how to solve it.
A few minutes later, the waitress came back with their burger and Chocolate Parfait.
'Finally,' Adrian thought, as his very being lit up in excitement.
"I'm sorry for the delay, here are your orders," The waitress apologized as she placed the tray on the table.
Adrian just stared at the Chocolate Parfait, as stars twinkled in his eyes.
With just the smell of it, Adrian started to drool. Not caring about how he looked, he snatched the Parfait and began consuming it.
"Uuuu Mmmmm! Mm~mm, delicious!!"
[Huuuu Mmmmm! Mm~mm, delicious!!]
Venom and Adrian gulped in unison, now content.
The other residents of Adrian's body just look at the two of them as if they were fools.
'Chocolate is delicious, but it's not something that deserves that kind of reaction,' The symbiotes all thought.
Jean and the waitress gawked at Adrian, shocked by this new revelation.
'So, he likes chocolate, huh?' Jean thought with a smile pasted across her face.
'He is different from the information they gave me.' The waitress frowned internally.
Jean ignored Adrian and picked up her burger. Taking a bite out of it, she thought, 'This tastes pretty good.'
"Aren't you leaving?" Jean asked the waitress.
"There are no other customers at the moment, so I'll just stay here if that's alright?" She replied unconsciously.
Jean narrowed her eyes at the waitress, suspicious of the waitress's motives.
She was going to say something, but she remembered the misunderstanding that was just a few minutes ago with Adrian and decided not to think about it too much.
Suddenly Adrian stopped eating and looked thoughtfully at the roof of the cafeteria as if he could see through the wall.
Adrian's eyes glowed neon blue for a few seconds but changed back a few moments later.
The waitress and Jean noticed that Adrian's aura suddenly changed.
"Hey, what's your name?" Adrian asked as he stood up, focusing his hearing on the waitress's heart.
"My name is Jane," The waitress responded with a smile.
*Thump*
Realizing that her heart sped up a bit after her answer, Adrian countered, "That was a lie, tell me the truth."
*Thump! * *Thump!* *Thump!*
The waitress's heart raced wilder as her face slowly revealed her inner turmoil.
"Tsk." Seeing this, Adrian couldn't help but grumble about the agent they sent.
'I know my mom is overprotective, but couldn't she send a more competent agent?'
After thinking for a few more seconds, Adrian learned of Leona's thoughts. 'If she sent this agent, is it because she has no connection with HYDRA?'
'But I don't understand why she sent this agent. I have Natasha, the Black Widow with me.'
Adrian shook his head in disappointment, 'Alas, most of the competent agents are with HYDRA. I need to solve this problem, and soon.'
"Tell me your name. There's no use lying. It doesn't work for me."
The waitress sighed, "My first mission and I already failed."
The waitress looks at Adrian. "My name is Sharon Carter. I was sent to watch you and tell Nick Fury about your movements."
Hearing the agent's objective, Adrian realized what happened, 'So those old folks on the board were afraid that I would suddenly become friends with Nick, eh?'
Leona told Adrian everything she knew about SHIELD, and thanks to that, Adrian could understand why they sent an agent to watch over him.
Adrian was seen as Nick Fury's eternal enemy by the Board. Yet, the two suddenly became best friends. Adrian was even placed as a special agent for SHIELD, and not only him, but his mother too, a former special-ops agent. It was clear that they would suspect something.
To appease this suspicion, Adrian's mother sent an agent who had just finished her training. After all, it was more believable for a new agent to make mistakes.
Leona's thoughts were clear. 'They are suspicious of you, just act as I take care of everything.'
Leona was confident that Adrian would get her message.
'Tsk, this is the problem of controlling only the SHIELD director. He isn't the real controller of SHIELD. Those old fogeys on the board can remove Nick Fury's power as simple as snapping their fingers. Not to mention that HYDRA has infiltrated them... What a mess. '
Thinking of this and if Leona was trying to convey anything else, he got it. Use this agent to send wrong information to the 'oldies'.
'Why didn't she contact me directly though?' Adrian didn't understand why Leona would use such an indirect method to tell him this.
...
[A / N: For those who don't remember, SHIELD is funded by the American Government, the old board members support SHIELD behind the scenes, because of that, they have the power to replace the director of SHIELD, of course there has to be a reason plausible for that to happen, it was because of that reason that there was also the civil war.
For those who were irritated by this movement, remember that Adrian is still a teenager, he has no experience with political games. If Adrian were OP in all areas of life, the story would be boring. He is strong, very strong, SUPER STRONG.... Leona is the strategist and the one dealing with politics, and Natasha is the spy, murderer, and also an essential help. Jessica is Adrian's assistant… I want to give all my characters a unique feature that doesn't make the story boring. In fantasy setting terms, Adrian is the war general, Leona is the strategist and takes care of politics, and Natasha is the killer who takes care of enemies in the dark.]
