Chapter 39: Second Date & Quest
In an Italian restaurant: Gino's
"Oh my Gwadd, this is the best pasta I have ever had" *
"I know, I was very surprised the first time I came here" Nat giggles
"So what do you plan on doing now?" she asks me
"Well I plan to go raid some bases" I smirk
"Hmmm, Why? What do you gain from that?" she looks at me suspiciously
"Well I thought it would be funny if I robbed them blind, I don't exactly care about money, but I can exchange weapons and things with my Patreon God for merit which I can exchange for things later on"
"Ohh so thats how it works. No wonder you got so strong so fast, was the Ice Magic one of the things you got?"
"Yes I got the Ice Magic from him but my Eldritch Magic was all me lots of studying and hard work. I did get some other cool things from him as well."
"I also plan to go kill some people, that will cause a disaster later on, better to get rid of the troublesome ones while I still can" I finish off my 4th glass of wine
"Waiter, another bottle" I raise my hand to signal him
"Ahhh you did mention you can glimpse into the future, what kind of people are we talking about?" she sounds really curious all of a sudden, well it is precognition in a way, even if I am faking it, anybody would be curious
"Well one of them is a scientist that has a few screws lose, he will come close to starting an apocalypse 2 times"
"... How was he alive to be able to do it a second time..." Nat is speechless
I just say "Shield"
"Oh... that strangely makes sense" she nods like that explains everything
"As for the second one, she is the leader of the Inhumans, a group of Enhanced people, almost all of them want to live peaceful lives, but she will manipulate them to start a war for Inhuman supremacy." They probably have some useful connections that will make my search a lot easier
"Yeahh, you'd better kill them off as soon as possible. Those type of people are a pain in the ass" she says as she pours herself another glass of wine
*Ding*

Quest automatically accepted]
... What the hell?! What did they do?!
This quest is automatically accepted, and the rewards are too generous. I can massacre them easily, something is going on behind the scenes.
I have t... (and my thought process is broken by a message)
[Mr. Grand Ward
This is a special-type mission. We are still not exactly sure how, but the top echelon of Hyrda and the one named Mandarin, have insulted 'The CEO'. They learned of his identify from a Wanderer who travels the Multiverse. He knows about us because someone in our 'Company' probably leaked it to the multiverse. But that is our problem, don't worry about our affixers technically you a grunt mob in the organization, there are millions like you. Your problem is that the Hydra Heads and Mandarin of your world insulted him, the rewards are extremely generous so finish it as soon as possible. But I warn you. Failure is not an option!! This mission is directly from 'The CEO'.
Happy Hunting Mr. Ward
Message by 'The Secretary' ]
....
...What the actual FUCK!! How stupid do you have to be to insult someone who I'm pretty sure is on an Multiversal Level!!!. He has God's working for him for Christ's Sake!!!.
"...Ward...Ward!!" Nat yells and snaps me out of my daze
"...Hmmm? Oh sorry... I was just contacted by my 'Employer'. "
She was shocked at that "Really? What did he want"
"Well... Hydra is over. So are the 10 Rings." I answer still shocked
And now she is confused.
"Well somehow those Imbeciles insulted 'The CEO' of all Gods. And now I have direct orders to make them disappear. They promised a lot of generous rewards for this, for each base I destroy I get a reward based on how strong was that base."
I won't complain this is great for me. I am sure there is more behind the scenes like that Wanderer and the Mole in the Company. I guess anyone can wander the Multiverse if they are strong enough, The Bald One can do it but she decides not to, I'll definitely do it once I get all 6 artificial stones.
"That's great for you isn't it, with your power and versatility you can do it easily" she smiles at me
"Mhhm, I'll use the info Stark gave me and raid those bases first, then I'll use the information I gather from them to look for others. I have 3 weeks to get rid of them, I will be quite busy."
"That's fine. We will be spending a lot of time on Asgard." she gives me a bright happy smile
Her character really has bloomed after she pieced herself back together
"Yes we will, I plan to copy down the entire library. Asgard is a sight to see, I roughly know how it looks like, but I can't wait to see it in person.
"Ward do you think its possible for me to learn magic" she sounds hopeful
I can see where she is coming from, being able to use magic is a dream in itself to some people, she might even be hoping to heal her body.
I think on that for a moment "It depends, the best place to find out would be on Asgard. They have specialized equipment for that and a database of different magics. Chances are good that you have an affinity for at least one type of magic, after that it will be hard work."
She smirks "Good. Hard work I can do"
"What do you plan on doing?"
She things about this for a while "Well first of all more dates like this. I also received a message about my fellow Widows. I'll see how it goes, and you don't have to say it, if things get bad, I'll use the artifacts you gave me and call you."
I smile and nod at that and we continue our date, we finished our dinner in the restaurant, which serves the best pasta I have eaten in both my lives, definitely coming back here.
We went for a walk, I opened a portal to Berlin, we had a great time there, saw all the sights, its a totally different experience then when we see these on a mission compared to seeing them on a date. We had a steamy make out session in the end of our date, with a promise to meet again in a few days.

A/N *( I do this after one of my experimental dishes goes right, so I'm putting it here. Yes I cook)
*('Plunder' refers to the roving of soldiers through recently conquered territory in search of money and goods. 'Pillage' describes the act of stripping a conquered city or people of valuables)
The inspiration for this quest was from 'The Gamer', when they fought against 'The Company', the Alias or Pseudonym of the enemies were things like, 'Manager, CEO, Director, HR, PR,' I wanted something like that
[For those that are interested in MHA, read my other fix MHA: Code. MC is a particular ruthless, manipulative bastard. Quirk is Code, allows him to use/change Binary & Genetic Code. There will be politics and economics evolved. Probably no love, since he is a bastard, and will cheat and go out with different women.]
