Chapter 36: Chapter XXXVI: Claire Voyant
(I wonder if I've reached enough viewership to ask you guys for power stones… Insert the thinker gif)
—————————
The plane finally landed and I had to say, it felt great to touch U.S soil again after so long.
Don't get me wrong, being in the United Kingdom was great and all, and the rewards were promising, but despite that, I'm an American boy, through and through.
"Taxi! Taxi!" A shiny looking yellow cab pulled up in front of me. I opened up the trunk and put my one bag in it. I walked over to the back door and hopped in the car.
"Where to boss man?"
"Fort Cavazos." The driver looked back at me with interest in his eyes, he seemed to have noticed my attire and a look of commendation replaced it.
"Ah, I see, you're a soldier. Thank you for your service."
"It's my pleasure."
The rest of the car ride went smoothly and quietly, and we made it there without any difficulty. I pulled 60 dollars out of my pocket and handed it to the man.
I got out the car and looked at the base I'll be stationed at for an unprecedented amount of time.
The driver couldn't actually take me into the base, it was military personnel only, and if he did, he'd get arrested immediately.
—————————
I had to go through a few security measures to get into the base, but it was worth it. This base was a bit of an upgrade from what I had previously.
The only upgrade really being it's size and different landscape.
I didn't have to meet my new Major General, Innis Palmer Swift for any reports or meetings, he knows the whole situation, my tasks, the whole shebang.
All I had to do right now at this moment, was to practice using weapons, explore eat, or sleep. What I have to do for the long run, is to play my part as a Lieutenant, until I'm ready to fully commit to the CIA life.
It was definitely risky to make these deep ties with this corrupt government, but I know in the long run it'll benefit me. These deep ties should give me the utmost immunity to most things.
It's not like I'll need it, seeing as I'm fast enough to go invisible. Not even the best thermal readings will be able to spot my presence.
The immunity would just help me around with my earthly appearance. If I need a man to die but I don't feel like doing it. Bang, I'm CIA, it'll happen.
I decided to explore as much of the base that I was allowed to.
This base had everything that the one before had, except this base was better designed, had better functionality, and was more practical.
The scenery wasn't anything close to beautiful, but it was definitely still considered a nice place to look at, at least for me.
I was so lost in the scenery, that I didn't notice the woman I had just bumped into.
"Oh I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-" I was in the middle of helping her up and I was stunned at her appearance. She had a very good resemblance to Natasha Romanoff from the Avengers, but it's impossible for it to be her, we're in the mid 40's, she hasn't even been born yet. Not even her parents have been born.
Something about her felt very, off putting. I could tell she was a good person, but a somewhat demented presence in her soul.
'Scan.'
[Name: Claire Voyant
Alias: Black Widow
Species: Mutated Human
Height: 5 Feet 9 Inches
Weight: 127 Pounds
-In 1940, Claire Voyant, a small-time medium, was contacted during a séance by a demon calling himself "Satan" to help him harvest corrupted souls before they could repent.
-Satan prompted her to place a curse upon her current clients, Mrs. Wagler and her adult children Patricia and James, then manipulated the hapless victims into a car crash that was intended to kill all three of them. James survived, however, and killed Voyant in revenge.
-After her death, Satan brought her body to his realm and revived her as his supernaturally-powered operative, the Black Widow. She was to perform as his personal assassin, killing evil mortals so that he could draw strength from their souls.
-In this universe, it seems that Claire Voyant has temporarily severed her connection with Satan and has joined the U.S Military to repent for all of the needless killing she participated in.
-Despite the fact she severed her connection with Satan, she still holds some supernatural properties, such as enhanced physical condition, and mental condition.]
'Claire Voyant? I've never heard of her before. She must be a comic character. Although her and Natasha do share the same alias.'
"Are you just going to stare at me? Or are you gonna help me up?"
"Ah, my apologies." I finished helping her up after analyzing the situation to the best of my abilities.
"I haven't seen you around here, are you new?" She started simple conversation as we both walked aimlessly.
"Yeah, just got transferred. The name's Billy. Billy Loomis. What's your name?"
"Nice to meet you Billy, my name's Claire. You know you've made quite a name for yourself across the military. I'd bet it won't be long before the president knows your name. Maybe even Adolf."
'I've actually met the president..'
"I appreciate your admiration Claire, I'm sure you've made quite the presence yourself." We continued small talk a few more minutes, getting to understand each other better.
We weren't quite friends yet, but you could say we were acquaintances.
"I've got to head to the sparring space to increase my hand to hand combat capabilities. It was definitely nice talking to you Bill."
"I hate that name."
"Oh, sorry Bill." She walked away with a cheeky smile.
'Are most women in this universe so playful?' I pushed the image of Claire out of my mind and continued walking around.
After seeing enough, I walked to the sleeping quarters and embraced the great darkness.
—————————
It's only been three days and I've already been called to the General's office. I'm starting to think that me and offices won't get along very well.
"Lieutenant Loomis, I hope you haven't gotten too comfortable with the new location, because you're getting deployed on a Search and Rescue mission.
One of our very important spy operatives, Randy Meeks, were found out by the Germans and is currently being in an unknown state. I need you and an Elite Forces team, to go and bring back Randy.
However, if under any circumstances where you need to dispose of Randy, do not hesitate. He has a lot of information, and if it is leaked, he would be a great danger."
"Understood sir." After I got all the necessary details, I dressed myself casually for the mission with my proper outfit in a bag, and left with the Elite Team for the private flight to Germany.
This Elite Team happened to consist of Claire and four other people who I was not familiar with.
The whole plane ride was essentially just Claire and I having many conversations. It was a long plane ride, so we had to entertain ourselves somehow.
—————————
We eventually landed in the land of Natzi and wasted no time in starting the mission. We've all had good rest, food, and determination.
We couldn't pinpoint exactly where Randy was being held, but we found a portion of area where they might be.
The current plan was to raid the few military bases around that area for information. We have to wait until night to make our move and we have to be swift about it.
There was still some time left until sundown, so we had to find some things to do. There wasn't many options, seeing how we landed in a relatively poor part of this town, so the best option was to already make our way towards the base, which was not at all far from here.
Deciding not to wait, that's exactly what we decided to do. I was certain that it would get dark by the time we get there.
—————————
The six of us stood in a forest surrounded by darkness, only being illuminated by the rays of the moon. We were attempting to formulate a plan.
"Me and Ash will sneak into the building and deactivate all security cameras and alarms. While we do that, Claire and Daniel will take out any German that's surrounding the base.
Finally, when the cameras and alarms are deactivated, and all the enemies on the outside are defeated, us four will meet up inside and take out everyone that's left, but leave one unharmed and take them in for some information.
During all of this, Damien and Samuel will cover us and be look out. If necessary, they will intervene. Is that clear?" Seeing everyone shake their heads, I finished.
"Fallout."
