Novel Full Chapter 323 - The Guest House (III)...
[POV Nat]
I walked out of my portal and found that I was quite far from that base... I did want to get as far away as I could. I clearly heard Reo saying that he was going to burn down that place... He must be thinking of using those blasted flames... I still remember those flames from the ruins of Nebraska City.
Even though I was hundreds of miles away from that place... It still sent several shivers down my spine. I am pretty sure that I would die if I ever get surrounded by that fire. All of a sudden my head snapped towards my left and I immediately noticed several Quinjets flying in our direction.
Looks like I had to entertain my guests until Reo finishes whatever he wants to do... Sometimes, I think that Reo was an arsonist in his past life... The ships started to hover in front of me and their mini-guns were already pointed in my direction.
I knew that I could even regrow my brain along with my memories intact but I had no idea how I was going to fare if my whole being was turned into a goo of blood and gore... After all, En Sabah Nur never faced mini-guns. His era was kind of technologically lacking...
One of Quinjets lowered and a hatched opened, someone with a friendly face popped out of the hatch and he slowly came down using a rope... Like always he was carrying a bow with him.
"It's nice to meet you again, Natasha" Clint greeted me with a grin on his face. He wasn't mocking me though... he was simply greeting me like any normal friend even though he was thinking about ways to subdue me without hurting me too much... Thanks for your consideration... I thought dryly.
"It's also nice to meet you, Clint... though I would have liked it if it was under better circumstances" I greeted him back with a smile... There is no way that I am going to surrender so it was obvious that a fight was going to break out but there was a small problem, I wasn't able to sense Dora.
Reo said that she was here and his senses were much sharper than mine so she was obviously here... I can't attack them blindly...
"Natasha, as you can already see you are already surrounded... There is nowhere to run, as your old friend... I would ask you to surrender, I promise that you won't be mistreated" Clint said with a friendly smile on his face.
I simply snorted after hearing his words, like I didn't know how the prisoners were treated. They would be tortured until they give up all the information and if their condition is bad then SHIELD would get rid of them and if by any chance your condition is good then they would lock them up and then they would throw away the key... You would be lucky to see the sunlight ever again... Forget about Court and stuff like human rights.
"Clint... I think you might have forgotten but I also worked for SHIELD, so I know how SHIELD likes to treat their prisoners..." I said with a smirk on my face. Clint's face soured but he didn't say anything for a few seconds. I immediately understood that they wanted to catch me alive or they would have started shooting already.
"Natasha, please don't make this hard for either of us... We both know that you won't be getting out of that place..." Clint said with a desperate look on his face. Still, I don't understand why they want to capture me... with Reo here, they should know that they don't have any chance against us.
"Tell me, Clint, did Fury finally snap?" I asked him curiously. Now, from Clint's previous statement, a strong suspicion arose in my mind. I think that no one knows that Reo is here... they think that I came here on my own, that is why Fury decided to capture me.
I know that there is a very low chance that they missed Reo. "You should know better Natasha... He is a really careful and paranoid person... So, only after careful planning, he dispatched us" Clint said with a frown on his face.
A vicious grin appeared on my face... seeing me grin like that, Clint's frown deepened. "I am really sorry to break this to you but I am not alone..." I said and Clint immediately paled.
"Take her down!!" Clint screamed and before the Quinjets could start firing, I was surrounded by my Force Field... My Force Field might not be strong like Reo's but it can easily stand tall against something like small missiles and mini-guns. All of the Quinjets start to fire in my direction but they suddenly stopped when the ground started to shake.
I noticed Clint's eyes and he was looking behind me... My head snapped back and I saw that the whole mountain range caved in and Leviathans made of purple flames burst out of the rubble and started to engulf the rocks... I shuddered once again... Looks like he upgraded those blasted flames!!
Reo slowly floated out of the rubble and with a wave of his hand the purple flames were extinguished... his eyes flashed in my direction and the next moment he was standing right beside me...
"Clint Barton... Hawkeye... I have heard a lot about you but now that I have seen you with my own eyes... Now, I think the rumors about you might be hyped up" Reo said in a cheerful tone and raised up his hand. As soon as he closed his fist, the engines of the Quinjets were crushed and they started to drop like flies.
Reo was still smiling cheerfully... One of the Quinjets was coming in our direction but it simply disintegrated along with the people inside the Quinjet before it could reach us... "You see, I don't like flies buzzing around me" Reo said with a grin, and Clint's face was red in anger but he kept himself calm and didn't attack Reo.
"I am fine being weak... After all, I am not a monster like you" Clint said coldly and Reo simply smirked hearing his answer.
"At least I don't bully someone's family when their man is away from their family..." Reo said with a SHIT eating grin on his face. That was a low blow... but I didn't mind it since Clint did try to bully me.
"Keep our families out of this" Clint snarled in anger and Reo laughed out loud. There he goes again... Acting like a villain... But I like it!! It's turning me on!!
"But you are the one who threw the first blow..." Reo pointed out with a smile on his face. "You see... Nat is my family and I didn't like the fact that you were bullying my family member" Reo said and started to walk towards Clint.
People were already coming out of the Quinjets... some Quinjets had already caught fire... "Stay away from my family..." Clint said in a low tone and with a desperate look on his face. He had almost a pleading look on his face. Reo raised his hands in a surrendering manner and started to chuckle.
"...Don't worry, I was just kidding..." Reo said and started to chuckle once again. Clint looked really murderous now. All of a sudden Reo, stopped laughing and his face turned completely serious... "Try this again and all bets are off" Reo said and he started to release an oppressive aura and lightning started to crackle around him...
Everyone almost choked feeling Reo's oppressive power... I wasn't affected by his power. Clint was barely able to nod his head and Reo finally stopped pressuring them... I finally noticed Dora who tripped and landed face-first in the dirt. There was no mistaking it... It was definitely her.
Sometimes I really wonder, how is she still a spy... I mean her cover would be easily blown if she trips like that. Must be some universal secret... "It's really good that you understand..." Reo said with a smile and turned his back towards Clint and the SHIELD Agents but nobody dared to do something.
"You see... I am in a really good mood today... So, I am going to let you guys live... Aren't I magnanimous???" Reo said in a majestic tone and extended his hand towards me. Looks like there will be no action. I would have liked some more action...
I took his hand without saying anything and Reo Flash Stepped with me while waving towards Clint and the SHIELD Agents...
[POV Agent Tonks]
Oh... Please tell me that SHIELD didn't come here with zero information... Looks like Fury did mess up big this time. How did these fuckers not notice that Reo was here too... I know that this was going to end badly but who cares... It will give me a chance to kill that fucker... I thought and glared at the guy in front of me.
When the purple flames burst out of that mountain range, I skillfully took off my seatbelt without making a sound. Only after a few seconds Reo appeared and crushed my Quinjet's engine... Oh... I am going to make him pay for that.
I quickly readied myself for the crash and as soon as the Quinjet touched the ground, I lunged towards the guy in front of me and buried my elbow in his chest... Everyone around us would think that it must be due to the crash but it wasn't... but nobody knew that except me... After all, no one was as awesome and majestic as Agent Tonks...
Hmphf... I looked in the eyes of the dick head and I could clearly see the life fading away from them. In your next life remember not to flirt with the wrong woman... Hmphf!! That would teach him... I said and the Quinjet finally stopped skidding and I was thrown back to my seat.
Everyone was disoriented so I took this chance to get out of the Quinjet. I manually opened the hatch because there was no power and I stuttered out while limping slightly... I wasn't hurt, after all, a Goddess like me can't be hurt by something puny like the Quinjet but I had to act my part.
Before I could continue basking in my glory, my eternal enemy took this chance and attacked me. That is why I was planting my face in the dirt... Hmm... That wasn't bad... much better than concrete... Maybe... I should carry a patch of dirt with me all the time...
