Chapter 181: 181. Do You Love Me?
Alexander again took the book out and opened the first page. But to his surprise, not much changed. Only the mind attack disappeared but everything else was the same. The book gave the same dark aura.
He hypothesized that the book must be like a living entity. For example, you can not purify a Hell Demon to become good as he was born that way. The book must be the same. It's initial nature while its creation was dark. The evil energy left in the book by Chthon was the only thing that got purified.
He started looking into it and sure enough, there wasn't much but dark magic. Though he could use a lot of them for good too. Like there was a way to summon Chthon himself and also a way to trap someone in the book.
~Hmm... This might be useful in the future.~ he thought.
He called Fury, "I've taken the book. It is indeed Darkhold. Good thing we found it before anyone else. I will keep it with me. Normal humans cannot ward off its corruption."
"Good thing then. I will put its details in the top-secret category." Fury said.
Alexander agreed and hung up.
...
Russia
Leonidas was having an awkward lunch with Natasha's small fake family. It was just her fake dad who was in no way related to her. Natasha was an orphan and ended up in the red room. After Alexander had saved her and trained her, she returned to Russia for a while.
Due to her being a pretty good assassin she was immediately put on missions, she was given a fake family as a cover. They acted on missions together for a while and got a bit closer. But then Soviet Russia started demanding that she give them some other services too. So she killed their general and left, then became a freelancer and soon enough joined SHIELD.
"So, you two are a couple? I didn't know you liked cute boys. I thought you'd look for a man." Alexi Shosttakov aka Red Guardian said to Natasha.
Leonidas just rolled his eyes and kept on eating. But Natasha defended, "You should know, if he wants he can destroy this house with a flick of his finger.
"Oh really, then why does he need you to defend? He's a child, Nat." He taunted him.
Leo just waved his hand and Alexi's body flew up and got stuck to the ceiling.
"I told you not to mess," Natasha shrugged and ate her food.
"Hahaha... Good lad. You have mystic powers ha. You chose a good man, Nat. Now let me down." He laughingly praised.
Suddenly the magic disappeared and he fell down on the floor face first. But he just stood up while laughing as if nothing happened.
Leonidas felt a bit good that at least Natasha didn't deny that they had a thing. He was honestly conflicted about deciding whether she liked him or not. It was just too hard to read her. But her actions say otherwise. She showed too much intimacy sometimes. She had even kissed him once without any warning. He was a master of Legilimency and had picked her emotions at that time. She felt insecure and anxious sometimes and did those things then.
Right now was the same. Natasha had secretly put her hand on his lap and was caressing it. She wasn't even trying to hide it. Then he looked up and realized that Natasha and her fake little sister were having a staring contest and somehow the reason was him.
At that moment he realized that Natasha was possessive about him. So he did nothing but just put his hand on hers and held it tightly. She twitched a little not expecting it and looked at Leonidas who was only giving her a warm and loving smile.
She had the sudden realization that what she was doing was stupid. Leonidas had already made it clear that he loved her. Not just that, because of Alexander's upbringing, Leonidas was also a one-woman man.
"Leo, do you love me?" She asked out of nowhere.
Her question ensued a pin drop silence. Alexi stupidly looked at Natasha and Leonidas. Yelena, her fake sister, dropped her spoon. But that noise didn't bring the two out of the trance. Leonidas and Natasha were looking at each other's eyes.
At that moment, Leonidas felt like screaming. "YES, YES I F*CKING LOVE YOU"
Out of the blue, Natasha jumped on him and they both fell down from the chair. She kissed him and he kissed her back wildly.
"WOAH! WOAH! Calm down kids, we may be fake parents but still." Alexi shouted.
But the two were too busy loving each other. Natasha tried to pull his shirt. Leonidas suddenly realized that this was not going to end soon so he apparated with her to their hotel room. They both fell in bed and started making love.
Leonidas had very good control over his head and even though he was occupied by the current situation he was still aware of his surroundings. His senses told him that something was going on.
He suddenly felt a distortion of space around him and before he knew it, the whole bed disappeared. The next thing he knew, he was in a transparent glass cube with unconscious Natasha on him. He tried to apparate out but couldn't. He still had his magic though and used earth-shattering magic to get out. Be he couldn't break it.
"Haha, it won't work. The cage is made of glass used in an ancient Celestial's body." A man appeared.
"Who are you and what do you want?" Leonidas calmly asked.
"Oh, my bad. Let me introduce myself. I am Druig, Lord of Flames, and Nightmares. Getting my hands on your father was too tough so I had to take you. Your father's feats are quite popular around the universe you know. Soon I will have that same power." Druig nearly salivated.
Druid was an ancient Eternal. He was a power-hungry schemer and wanted to rule Earth. He was against the normal Eternals who just wanted to live in hiding on Earth. He was instead more sympathetic to the cause of the Deviants.
Eternals, Humans, and Deviants were all genetically engineered products of the Celestials. The true purpose of Eternals and the Deviants was to cultivate humankind since the First Host of Celestials(When Celestials first came to Earth) allowed humanity to thrive because they saw in their genetic makeup the potential to act as antibodies against the Horde(The Horde are a species of insect-like beings, they can infect Celestials and turn them mad).
The Eternals and the Deviants didn't know all this and kept on fighting. Eternals were genetically made to look beautiful and very strong while Deviants were made to look ugly with very high mutation rates and they didn't have many superpowers either. They once ruled the earth but now stay in hiding and plot against the Eternals.
"You know, my father won't let you go now. A Celestial made glass won't be able to stop him." Leonidas warned him.
"Hahaha... maybe that's true. But how are you going to contact him? Your Psyonic powers won't work in there." Druig replied and went to the testing table to prepare for his experiment.
Seeing that Druig wasn't looking, Leonidas smirked and sent his Patronus to his father.
...
Polaris (now known as Serbia)
The Eternals had a city there. The Prime Eternal, the leader of the Eternals and the one who could summon a uni-mind ruled the city. His name was Ikaris.
"Prime Eternal, we have completed the new city of Olympia. We can move there now." Another Eternal informed him. There weren't many Eternals to begin with. Only 1000 or so. That was the number Celestials had decided to make.
"Tell all the Eternals, it's time to go. Any news about Druig?" He asked. Druig was Ikaris's stepbrother.
"Yes, he is still scheming things. Recently he has abducted Leonidas Maxim Universe, the son of that pretense God." He informed.
Ikaris suddenly stood up and his eyes widened, "You fool. How long has it been since he abducted him?"
"Just an hour, Prime Eternal." The Eternal replied.
Ikaris was thousands of years old and had met many gods. He had also felt the presence of a new higher being on earth many years ago. He had secretly confirmed it as well. He didn't know who Alexander really was but he just knew that he shouldn't mess with him. The Aura of Alexander was even more dangerous than Celestials he had seen in his life.
"Tell the fighting team to get ready. We need to go out and stop Druig before he makes the biggest mistake of his life and dooms us all." He ordered and wore his armor.
