[POV Reo]
Two months have passed since our small vacation and everyone has already gone back to their usual lives. The day after we came back Dora went back to New York to work for SHIELD.
Momo went back to research and development mode. Rumi went back to training and took along Ororo with her. Luna was being Luna busy going on adventures with her basilisk. I can no longer call Attila my basilisk even though she is my Familiar.
Fleur also returned to her training and Jean happily accompanied her. Even though Jean wasn't a Phoenix, she was getting all the traits because of her being the host of the Phoenix Force. Jean was a lot stronger now, and just like the Phoenix had told her… her body was getting modified slowly…
Nemuri was busy with her businesses… currently she was slowly sinking her claws in the Stark Industries. The only problem she was having was most of the shares were owned by Tony Stark and Obadiah Stane, she can't buy shares from either of them because they were the current face of the company.
She was also buying off shares from every major company and she was also getting ready to sell off the 50 percent of resources she had taken. She was just waiting it out… yes, if she started to sell them now then she would get huge profits but that will also attract unwanted attention.
Some people might start drawing the right conclusion. According to the World Governments, the resources were stolen by Fox and if suddenly Nemuri pops up and starts off selling the same things Fox had stolen, someone might connect the dots. That was something Nemuri can't have, after all, she was setting up a front now…
But if Nemuri goes to sell the things after some time then the people won't mind. Setting up a genuine company was much more important for her now… she thought that it was appropriate to fool everyone while standing right in front of their eyes.
Now, the reason why selling the resources wasn't a problem anymore is because Elysium no longer needed them… farming wasn't a problem and neither was importing something. Following Eric's order, a small branch was opened in Madagascar for the import-export business. Everything they needed to import was imported from there.
Since it wasn't an import-export company on the front, people or the government didn't pay it much attention, especially in the current times. Emma Frost was the head and she used her old sources to conduct business. On the front, it was a simple boat rental company.
After coming back from the vacation, Natasha took over the spy network. Well, it wasn't much of a spy network since Natasha didn't need to do much… most of the time she kept her eyes on the new Military Projects and their progress with their defense systems. They were still down… Natasha apparently loved her job.
She actually loved being a spy, she had accepted her past and she was grown into a spy by the Red Room but she hated it when she had to do anything against her wishes. She wanted a break from Red Room but she knew that wasn't possible, then SHIELD came in and started to chase her around the world… to stay alive she agreed to join SHIELD.
According to Natasha, being a spy on your own accord and being forced to become a spy are completely different things. Natasha found that she loved being a spy when she finally came to terms with her life as a whole… it happened during the vacation after she finally decided to follow her own heart.
Now, enough about the others I was currently planning for a small trip. Since I had already decided to get my hands on some Vibranium, I wanted to check out the Savage Land first. I wanted to check the AntiMetal first and if needed bring the whole thing here so that no one could get their hands on the Anti-Metal.
From what I remember, in the movies, there was no Savage Land, and if there was, it wasn't shown. So, if I decide to go with the events of the comics then it was pretty clear that Anti-Metal would be used by a lot of people in the future. Since Savage Land is here and if I find the Beast-Men in there, then it also means that Atlantis is also there… I will go out on a limb and guess that Namor McKenzie is the king.
Jean and Fleur had mentioned that they would like to go with me on my next mission. At that time, I didn't even know what I would be going after at first. I have decided to go after Klaue later… he isn't going anywhere.
So, I slowly approached where Fleur and Jean always trained and noticed that both of them were playing with their Phoenix Fire. From a distance, both of their fire looked the same but Jean's Phoenix Flames had a small reddish tint to it while Fleur's Phoenix Fire was orangish in color. I am sure that there were a lot more differences if someone looked closer…
I decided to watch them from a distance and immediately knew that it was a good decision… both increased the intensity of their fire and both of their whole bodies was covered in flames but neither were hurt by the flames… even the grass under their feet was completely fine, in fact, they looked rejuvenated.
Both of their flames kept growing stronger and bigger until the flames finally collided between them… it was a beautiful sight to see but it was clear that Jean was getting tired. Understandable since she was just the host of Phoenix Force while Fleur was a Phoenix herself. Jean finally raised up her hands in surrendering manner, and both stopped using their flames at the same time and the fire just disappeared like it wasn't even there.
"Jean you have improved a lot" Fleur said complimenting Jean. Jean just nodded her head, she wasn't able to reply verbally because she was busy catching her breath.
I finally started to approach them and only now the two of them noticed me. Fleur approached me and greeted me with a kiss… "So, how long were you watching?" Fleur asked me curiously.
You are reading story The Epic of Leviathan at novel35.com
"I watched the whole thing, the thing that both of you did with your fire" I said and Jean was finally able to catch her breath.
"So, is this a casual visit?" Jean asked me but I leaned down and gave her a small kiss. Jean and I were already kissing since we started dating…
"No, I am finally going out for a mission. So, I came to invite you girls" I said, and as soon as they heard that I was going out on a mission both of them became really excited.
"Of course, we would like to go" Fleur said, even though she wanted to hide her excitement she wasn't able to. Jean also nodded her head.
"So, where are we going?" Jean asked me and raised her eyebrow.
"Have you heard about Savage Land?" I asked and both Fleur and Jean shook their head in denial.
"Well, the Savage Land is a tropical prehistoric land surrounded by volcanoes. It is a tropical preserve hidden from the rest of the world… it's near Antarctica" I said and both girls looked really interested.
"Tropical Island near Antarctica?" Jean asked in confusion while tilting her head cutely.
"Yeah, I know that it's kinda confusing but it is what it is" I said and shrugged.
"You said prehistoric, right? So will we be able to see dinosaurs?" Fleur asked with stars in her eyes. I didn't know that she was interested in dinosaurs.
"Yes, there will be dinosaurs but they might be different from what you have read in books. I didn't know that you were interested in dinosaurs?" I asked Fleur in a confused tone.
"Well, it's nothing like that… I just wanted to see dinosaurs with my own eyes since you took me and Dora to watch that movie… Jurassic Park" Fleur spoke in a melancholic tone.
"Yeah, I also miss those times… Dora and Luna would join us most of the times" I said and laughed. At first Fleur and Luna didn't know much about movies. Luna knew what movies were but she never went to see one and Fleur didn't even know about them.
After watching Predator, Dora kept freaking out from time to time… which was way too funny. Yes, those old movies are really classic and I remember the remakes too, but they were complete shit. Like the Predator sequels were a waste of time and after Terminator 3 every movie in that series was completely shit.
The Jurassic Park Trilogy was awesome, Jurassic World was nice too but Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom was a crime against such a brilliant series. Just like the Fantastic Four remake which came out in 2015 was a crime against mankind and the original series…
Shit!! Only now I remember that Human Torch was played by Chris Evans in the original series and Captain America is also played by Chris Evans… so, are they going to look like the same person or different… I think it would different.
Jean doesn't look like her movie version… she looks like her comic version. Ororo also looks like her comic version instead of the movie version. I will check it out later.
"So, how are we going there?" Fleur asked after both of us were done remembering the old time. Jean was obviously confused but she didn't say anything to interrupt us while we were remembering our old memories…
"We are going to fly…" I said with a huge grin, both Fleur and Jean also smiled, they wanted to show off their new powers…
