Chapter 197: Fleur, Code Name 007

[POV Reo]

"Phew…" I released a sigh when I finally finished my announcement. That was a lot of pressure. At least, I didn't fumble with words… that would have been really embarrassing. My whole Supervillain image would have been ruined permanently.

"That was awesome!" Nemuri said and cheered.

"Even though I don't understand your fetish to become a villain, still I will say that it was quite impressive" Momo said in a teasing manner.

"But I think it's quite hot" Fleur said in a flirty tone.

"Yeah, girl. Finally, someone who can understand my philosophical ways" Nemuri said with a proud smile, after all, she finally found someone who would agree with her after Fleur joined our family.

"Hah! I give up, I will never understand you guys" Momo said in an exasperated tone.

"But you still love us" I said as a matter of fact.

"Guilty as charged" Momo said and pulled me into a kiss. Now that I think of it, I haven't spent so much time with Momo after arriving in this world. Well, after everything with Elysium is over, I will take her on a picnic… it would be just the two of us.

"Fleur, I have a job for you, I want you to head over to this location and bring everyone who agrees to come with you here" I spoke looking towards Fleur and handed her the location of Xavier Mansion.

"This is the place where you went to train, non?" Fleur asked me.

"Yes, from all the intel I have gathered, their mansion is being watched so I am not confident that they would be able to leave the mansion and arrive at the locations I had mentioned" I said to Fleur who intently heard my words.

"Can I accompany her?" Nemuri asked in an excited tone.

"No, we have something else to take care of" I said to Nemuri, she didn't know why she was still needed here but since I asked her to stay she agreed.

"Fleur come back soon, I will prepare those memories for you" Momo spoke to Fleur, Fleur nodded her head and disappeared.

"What memories?" Nemuri asked curiously.

"It's my childhood memories" Momo said with a gentle smile on her face.

"Oh… after Fleur is done, can I watch them too?" Nemuri asked while slightly fidgeting, Momo just smiled and nodded her head. Nemuri squealed in joy and pulled Momo in a hug. After, a few seconds Nemuri finally allowed Momo to leave… since Momo had nothing better to do she decided to pick up her studies… she had started to learn about microbiology. Momo gave me another kiss and left the room.

"So, what do you need me for?" after Momo left the room Nemuri asked me.

"It's nothing too serious, let's discuss the residential plans with Magneto and then you can ask your house-elves to work on them… after all, I think that they are dying to work" I said to Nemuri who just nodded her head and left the room with me to look for Magneto.

Finding Magneto wasn't so hard, he was running around helping all the meta-humans. I could see that he almost looked like he had grown 10 years younger. We met him and discussed my plans with him. He said the northern side of the island would be best for the initial residential plans. We discussed some house plans… it wasn't much, we decided to go with flats, after all, we didn't want to waste space.

After the model for the flats was decided, Nemuri called her chief house-elf and asked him how long will it take to build these. The house-elf declared that if all of them worked together then less than a day. Magneto was quite surprised to see the little creature but didn't bother us while we were speaking with the creature. The house finally left but not before giving Nemuri a salute. Nemuri just chuckled when she saw that.

"What was that?" Eric asked in morbid curiosity.

"A house-elf, they are a kind of parasitic creature, they need to bond with a magical person or a magical property… in return, they work for us and boy, they really like to work" Nemuri explained not giving away too much information.

"It must be handy having them" Eric said.

"Yes" I said and our discussion was finally over. Both me and Nemuri still had a lot to do. We still had to keep our eyes over the World, I also needed to check how many warheads were launched. I was quite sure that some people would still try to capture mutants and I have to stop them. I also have to deal with Stryker.

[Oval Office, White House]

"What's the report?" the President asked in a worried tone. He had heard the announcement and he saw how this Leviathan guy turned the citizens of their own country against them and that was not the worst… they have already received reports that Las Vegas has gone completely dark. It was an open attack on their country and the US followed a legacy… they never negotiated with terrorists.

According to everyone in the room, this Leviathan was a terrorist but there was no way that they would be able to strike back. During the meeting, someone had attacked a mutant and another warhead was launched on their country. They were still trying to find out the 2nd target. After all, their communication systems were crippled and they had to use radios.

"Sir, Chicago has gone dark, we have reached the conclusion that Chicago was the 2nd city Leviathan attacked" one of the special forces reported to the President.

Another of his special forces rushed into the room "Sir, we have received a report that New Orleans and Kansas have also gone dark" the man reported and gulped.

The President slammed his fist on the table in anger and got up from his chair. "I am calling a press meet, we cannot continue allowing this to happen, start escorting those damn mutants to the given locations" the President barked out.

"But sir, we could use them as hostages?" William Stryker spoke up. He cannot let this happen, all his plans were so close… he was so close but this Leviathan ruined all of his plans. He cannot allow that to happen… he would not accept defeat.

"Are you mad? Didn't you see that he is launching E.M.P. warheads on our biggest cities? And what would happen if he decides to attack us with a nuclear warhead? And what if he decides that it was enough and massacres a whole city full of people like he had promised?" the President asked Stryker headedly.

"I understand your worries, sir. But we can't just give it up, you have already seen how dangerous the mutants are and if we allow them to get away with this then they will become bolder and we will be unable to control them if they learn to fight together" Stryker pressed, there was no way he is going to give up without a fight.

"Mister President, I completely agree with General Stryker, we cannot let that unnatural win, that Leviathan is one of them, unnatural like them, and he is also trying to destroy our society. We must not show our weakness and negotiate with that terrorist" General Thaddeus Ross supported Stryker, Ross wanted to weaponize the mutants and he already had some unwilling participants. Hell would freeze over before he gave them over.

"So, what do you suggest we do?" The President growled in anger, neither General Thaddeus Ross nor General William Stryker flinched.

"Sir we say in a public place we execute a mutant, and threaten him that we would continue executing them if he…" Stryker began to speak but everyone in the room wanted to curse the stupid bastard. General Thaddeus Ross was thinking why did he even support this fool.

Everyone in the room already knew that they were not liked by the citizens of their country at this moment because of how Leviathan turned the blame towards them and this stupid fucker was telling them to execute a mutant publicly? It would be a political suicide… If the public didn't crucify them, then Leviathan with all his resources would surely retaliate and this time it won't be pretty like an E.M.P. warhead.

They knew that the damage those warheads were doing was not pretty but what they have seen of that man he would make an even bigger mess and might drag the US as the public villain.

"Please stop… someone, please throw out this foolish man from this room" the President decided to cut him off. William Stryker was immediately grabbed by the special forces and before he could protest he was stunned and knocked out.

"Please follow the order I gave previously" the President spoke in a broken tone. This time General Thaddeus Ross kept his mouth shut, if he knew that Stryker would spout out such a stupid plan then he would have never spoken up for Stryker.

[POV Fleur]

This was the first time Reo had asked me to do something and there is no way I am going to fail him. I always wanted to get a mission like this… it felt like I was a secret agent. Maybe, Reo will give me the designation of 007, I also want to get the license to kill. Heh! Jokes aside, I appeared near the Xavier Mansion.

Reo had told me that the mansion was being watched so I had to be careful… I can't just walk through the front door. I quickly cast a disillusionment charm on myself and started to head towards the mansion when I suddenly felt someone attack my mental shields… so I retaliated and heard an old man scream from inside the mansion. Must be the fool who attacked my mind… with a smile, I walked through the front gate heh… nobody was even able to see me.

I arrived at the front door and pressed the calling bell but nothing happened… oohhh… poor guys, they can't even afford electricity. So, I knocked on the door like in the old times…
