Chapter 18 - Shocking News

"I want to know, who exactly are you. You said we don't know everything but if someone we don't have info on, knows about us then. . . " Said, Nick

I cut him off with condescending tone "Then, what? pose a threat? I know you guys protect the world and all but your way of thinking is problematic. But I'll answer your question just to shut you up. I'm Theodore Hunt, 23 years old just trying to run a small shop and make my daughter happy. I'll make this clear, I don't care for your status just do your job and leave my family out of it. I have no reason to be a threat but if you trouble my family then I'll become a threat"

"Fine but I want to know why Ivan Vanko will be a problem," Asked Nick

"Stop with the mind games. We both know that Ivan Vanko is the son of Anton Vanko. The same guy that helped Howard Starks in designing the arc reactor. The reason he's going to be a problem is that his dad just died and he's gonna come for revenge" I said

Nick nodded and said "Hmm true Tony flaunts his arc reactor to much. He most likely wants his father to be recognised"

'Nope, his father abused him with his hatred for the Stark family and of course, the alcohol helped too. He slowly adopted the same hate for the Stark family. In the end, his father's death pushed him over the edge. Hmm should I warn him about a few other things'

"Sonya where's Tony Stark right now," I ask out loud so that Fury here's me.

The T.V turned on to show an Image of Tony getting off his private plane "He's just got off in Monaco"

"Check on Ivan Vanko," I said

"Yep he's also in Monaco," Said Sonya showing an image of Ivan crossing the street.

"Looks like you guys are too late," I said with a lazy sigh

Natasha, Jennifer and Nick just stared at the screen realising that they fuċkėd up.

Then Nick asked, "Who is Sonya?"

I was beginning to get overly annoyed "Why are you asking meaningless questions you should go and get that crazy scientist"

Seeing him not do anything I continue "Fine, I'll do it myself. Sonya can you do a search for any S.H.I.E.L.D agents within the area,"

"There are 50 shield agents nearby," Sonya said

"Good, can you inform the ones that aren't Hydra to watch over Tony. Make sure that they don't get too involved" I said emphasising Hydra

"Hmm that makes only 20 of them, I'll also tell them not to inform the others," Said, Sonya

"Thanks, Sonya," I said

Before I did think that having Ivan dealt with was a smart move but I realise that Tony needs this to become just a tad bit mȧturė and cause its scenario like this that makes him be one of the best heroes of Marvel. The reason for wanting to make Hydra's intrusion be known is to just give Furry the heads up but also see his reaction to knowing that he's never had control.

The other reason is that the sooner they know the more prepared they'll be to handle it. This also means that I don't have to help and just spend some quality time with Rose.

"What was that about Hydra!" Furry stood up from his seat.

Natasha and Jennifer were also shocked by this as they stopped eating and perked their ears to listen.

"I'm actually surprised that you never noticed. I went through a few mission reports of your agents work in uprooting Hydra's bases and found that you always turn up with a very little gain. It's almost like it was set up that way. You should really be more self-aware. Don't worry those two aren't Hydra, so you can trust them" I said lazily while pointing to Natasha and Jennifer

I wasn't lying I did some light digging within S.H.I.E.L.D's network and found a consistent pattern. Although I already knew about it from the movie but seeing proof before it comes to light, was pretty exciting.

"When!?" Said Furry in a calm yet cold tone

"Does it really matter? Well, I think that's enough for the day. Word of advice just stick to your plans for Avengers after you get the team then you can begin clearing them out " I said with a smile

"How much of what you said was true," Asked Natasha before sipping her tea.

"All of it. Why would I need to lie" I said with a smug smile

"Honestly Where do you get the confidence to piss off S.H.I.E.L.D," Asked Jennifer curiously

I reply with a smile "You know I don't just have the information I also have the. . . ."

"Its strength right. You have the strength to be a threat. I'm not sure how strong but since our first meeting I've felt some form of danger around you" Said Natasha with interest

"That means a lot coming from the infamous Black Widow," I said with a teasing smile.

"How strong are you," Said Jennifer excitedly

"Your cousin is weaker compared to me. Then again he hasn't fully understood his ability. Sorry that's not right, he hasn't fully understood Hulk" I said attempting to give her some insight on Hulk.

"Now you're just lying and what do you mean by him not understanding," Said Jennifer in disbelief

"Hulk doesn't make many appearances so I understand that you guys wouldn't have noticed but the truth is Hulk is just kid with immense strength. As his strength grows so does his age" I said without much care.

"Hmm that makes so much sense," Said, Jennifer with a shocked expression as remembers her runnings with Hulk and how she would calm him down.

"But I still don't believe you're stronger than him," Said, Jennifer stubbornly

"I'll put it on a scale of some sort. Ah, that's perfect. You know how Hulk starts his fight by saying 'Hulk Smash' well mine would be Decimate, Vaporise and Disintegrate. Do you understand?" I said while tapping the table

Jennifer's eyes had a dangerous glint that sent shivers down my spine. I immediately regretted bragging.

She looked me up and down before giving a nod and saying "Let's fight!"

'Not a bad idea. this might be a good time to test my martial arts. I'll match my strength to be like hers and rely solely on technique without using my teleportation' I thought

"Sounds like a plan, I've been wanting a good fight," I said with plenty of enthusiasm

"Yes, let's do it," Said, Jennifer

"Hold up, if you are really strong as you said we should get to a more remote area. I can't have two powerhouses fighting in the city" Said Natasha from the side with a cold look.

"A remote area huh?. . . . . Okay, I know a place but first I think you should get changed" I said looking at Jennifer office uniform.

"Don't worry I'm wearing it underneath, see" Said Jennifer pulling her shirt up to show her purple and white outfit covering her belly.

"Good we should get going," I said

"How are we getting the ahh. . . ." Said Natasha before falling through a portal that appeared underneath there feet.

I then will myself to the location. The place I picked was the Grand Canyon. It doesn't have any wildlife nearby nor does it have people in the area. But my main reason was to imitate the fight between Saitama and Genos in the vacant valley surrounded by tall walls of earth.

I then look up and saw Natasha and Jennifer falling from the sky. Putting my arms out I let them fall in my arms.

Just before I caught them they coordinated with each other to hit me. Natasha kicked off my arm and roundhouse kicked the left side of my face before landing on her feet.

'What the fuċk type of nimble is this' I thought while allowing the kick to connect.

I move with the kick as I knew that if I stood still Natasha would have a broken foot. While falling Jennifer transformed.

She was now 7 feet tall green women with power pulsing through her muscular body and long dark green hair that went down to her waist. Wearing purple and white spandex. She then gladly fell into my arms to give a smile before throwing a vicious punch at my face.

The punch sent me flying backwards. I was in the air for a few seconds before dropping and bouncing off the floor like a skipping stone. I finally came to a stop by being embedded into the wall.

I slowly pried myself off the wall. Stepping out of the wall and dusting my self down I shout to the girls "What the fuċk was that for. Look at my clothes and these were my only good pair of shoes!"

Jennifer shouted back in response "Shut up, next time don't teleport people to the fuċkɨnġ sky, you ȧsshole"

"Kick his ȧss," Said Natasha with a cold voice.

Even though she whispered I could hear and feel the coldness in her voice. I honestly didn't think it was that high but I think may have forgotten that the grand canyon was deep.

'Oh well' With that thought, I take off the shirt that was in tatters and took off my now broken shoes before walking to Jennifer.

We stood side on with our fists up to our chin facing each other. Looking up at the giant that is Jennifer I began to feel my blood rushing 'Shit am I becoming a battle maniac'
