Chapter 16 : A.I.M for the Top!
6 Months later, Central park
You know, even if its located in one of the loudest cities in the world, Central park can still seem beautifully quiet. I've been here for so long and I have to say, Its quite beautiful. The community as well as the city administration puts in a lot of money to see the park maintained. Sure there are a few issues, but they seem negligible in the grand scheme of things.
So now I'm here, sitting on a bench and enjoying the quiet Atmosphere. Well almost quiet.
The Heavy and exhausted breathing from my companion who just arrived is after all, quite noticeable.
"Come on Peter, if a little sprint gets you down like this, then how will you ever be able to make a decent run" I chuckle at my poor companion. He finally reaches the bench and plops down in exhaustion.
"You call that a little sprint!? You were running for at least 2 miles. That's not human. You're a goddamned demon Jeanne, A demon I tell you" He breathes out, still trying to catch his breath. I'm honestly impressed with what he achieved today. Sure its nothing compared to what he will one day be, but its definitely better than the scrawny twig he was before.
"oh i'm sorry for raising the challenge a bit. And i'm not a demon, i'm a human just like you. What I can do, you will to. And judging by what kind of guy you are, you'll be even better" Am I lying about me being human? Yes. Do I care? No...Because the slight smile that came from his mouth at that is all the confirmation I need to know it worked. Telling and helping someone become more than they are right now does help. And my other comment was on another development i've noticed

I admit, I'm a bit disappointed that he isn't already fully fawning over me. A year spent and I only got 13 REP pints to show for it. I'm also dangerously close to being friend-zoned. I REFUSE TO BE THE CHILDHOOD FRIEND WHO IS SEEN LIKE A SISTER!
Calm down already
You have no one to blame but yourself for the low REP gain
Yeah yeah, I know.
The Game Updated after I had been here for two months and nerfed a bit of my go to methods to Earn REP, not to mention a general decrease in all gains. My usual Trick of using Telepathy for literally everyone I met to like me more is now completely gone. So no more making a good impression on someone and already getting 40 Points out of it. Sure Soul magic still works, but I cant magically edit the points. I have to use the same convoluted methods I used for Colleen Wing and I really doubt that everyone has a repressed crush for me to exploit.
Telepathy still works as suggestions coupled with manipulation but that's pretty much it. I maxed out Telepathy at 100 and cant seem to improve it anymore. No taking over peoples bodies and no delving into their long term memories. Sure surface thoughts can be seen, but my eyes can do the same. For proper telepathy I will need either a genetic component or a magical method to improve it. I thought of ways to do this (By eating Charles Xavier or going to a magic Academy) and promptly decided against it. I'm good as I am and don't need to invite any unneeded trouble.
I have no Problems with gaining Rep the old fashioned way even if its a bit harder now. The perks do still work after all. Especially the one for gods and the like.
After all, The one above all recently tipped me off the those gods tracked me to earth. Its safe to say that this will only bring along trouble in the long run.

Las Vegas
"I´m getting Closer!"
Artemis the Greek Goddess of the Hunt smirked as she looked at Las Vegas. Her Long White hair blowing in the wind behind her.
After a Moment she frowned though as she felt several others appear in the City. Glancing at the Moon she quickly channeled her power and changed her perspective by Looking at what the Moon could see in the City.
Quickly her Bird perspective allowed her to zoom in on the figures of the Gods scattered in the City.
She scowled as she saw that her meat-headed Brother Ares was in the City, currently beating some random Thugs to death in some back-alley.
The Moment where the "One Above All" had told them About the Stranger who changed fate her Father had sent the Olympians out to assess the "Threat" as he called it. In her opinion sending Ares was a mistake as the Warmonger would almost surely start a battle with the Stranger.
The search was quite fruitless until Dionysus went drinking with the Luck God Bes. The little deity could hold his liquor but was no match to the god of wine himself. He had gotten rather loose lipped and started boasting of how he had tracked the Stranger to Earth within a few days after the announcement.
And now the gods were on the Prowl on their own Hunting grounds. To think that Las Vegas was not only hers but also Are's Destination surprised her
(She would have wondered how he made it here before her but she suspected that the "Sin City" would have been the first place for her stupid Brother to search in even if the Stranger had been declared a European. He was one-track minded like that, in his opinion EVERYONE went to Las Vegas. In this case he was Right funnily enough.)
Ending her Birds-eye view she was startled as a Flash of Fire appeared behind her which a Young Girl stepped out of. The Girl was small, with black Pig-tailed Hair and a nicely sized bust.
"Hestia? What are you doing here?"
Artemis looked at her Oppai-Loli Looking Aunt with curiosity. She hadn´t expected Hestia to join the Hunting for the Stranger. Hestia shrugged in Reply.
"Well, if the old Man found this stranger interesting and worth keeping around then whoever it is must be a rather unique Person. So I´m curious, do you mind if I tag along with you Arty?"
Artemis sighed before nodding.
"Sure, I already know that the Stranger is no longer in this City and I have a hunch where they will go next. You can come with me if you like."
Hestia smiled at her Niece.
"Thanks Arty, then lets go before someone else finds them first."
"Its a her!"
Hestia looked at Artemis who smirked at Hestia.
"I spent some time researching and met up with a Woman called Zatanna and while the Young Lady was a bit hesitant she did admit that a Person came to kill a Demon called the Devourer and that it was a Young Woman who went under the Title "The Dragon Witch". She didn´t want to tell me the Girls real Name sadly. She was also quite flabbergasted at meeting me so I ceased further questioning"
Turning around Artemis walked to her Chariot which was parked a small distance away. Hestia looked at Artemis with Interest before running after her.

Back with Jeanne
Cant Worry about that to much...The only one that concerns me is That Bastard Angra Mainyu after all. I'm broken out of my thoughts by Peter who is still huffing and puffing from our run. Reaching into my backpack, I grab a water bottle from my inventory and hand it to him.
" Thanks Jeanne" He says between sips
Feeling somewhat generous( And wanting to escape the Sister/Freindzone immediately), I move the backpack to the edge of the bench and pat my lap in suggestion.
He simply stares in confusion after putting the lid on the bottle:" Jeanne? Is...Is something wrong with you legs?"
I grab him with my arm and twist him to the side so his dense head lands on my lap.
He blushes for a bit while looking at me: "Je...Jeanne?"
I take his head and gently pat his hair:" Rejoice boy, for your dream shall come true."
He simply stammers out:" Eh?"

Italian Countryside
A quiet church is suddenly disturbed by a loud sneezing. It originated from non other than the priest attending the church itself.
A small figure with ashen white hair peeps up:" God bless you father."
The priest in question turns to the child and smiles at her with empty eyes:" Thank you Caren, now be off. Your mother is waiting."
The small child then runs out of the church in a gleeful search of her mother.
The priest is now left alone and is plagued by a thought:' What is this feeling? It's as if something important of mine was just stolen.'
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
Peter still looks upon me with confusion shown on his face.
" Other than my shameless plagiarism, I want you to enjoy the glory that is a lap Pillow!" I gesture wildly around him. My answer causes him to blush once again.
"You really confuse me sometimes Jeanne"
I simply give him a smile and look at his stats once more.

I'm really proud of the changes i've made to his first three stats, but the fourth one just frightens me. 6 months. It took 6 months for him to double his entire INTELLIGENCE! Look I know Peter is one of the smartest people in Marvel but this is insane.
I honestly blame myself for this development as well.
I haven't told him much about me other than my job I got at AIM. I regularly talk to him about my Projects, and usually get some pretty good insight from him. This probably tickled his brain more than any junkyard computer he could scrounge together.
Turns out, he was deliberately hiding his intellect because he thought it would make him stand out and invite him to be bullied more than he already was. I was pretty pissed of at that revelation and its also part of the reason I'm training his body. The bastard responsible was the obvious choice. Flash Thompson is a Dick whatever Universe he is in. Honestly the only times he actually became likable is after he became a spidey-fan and got the Venom Symbiote. Ironic how he became a better person because he gained Power. Usually it goes the other way.
Well Peter does that to people. No the whole Parker family does that to be honest. They invited me over for dinner after my third outing with peter. Seriously, how is it possible for Human Beings to be so...Inhumanly good? I mean sure, they probably have some bad aspects...none come to mind, but i'm sure something will come around...probably.
Ben is working in a small appliance factory while May is working at the F.E.A.S.T charity. By the way, their appearances also stumped me. May was the hot one from the MCU Movies and Ben? He was looking like Bruce Campbell of all people. I know he was also in a lot of Sam Reimi Movies and had cameos in the original Spider-man Trilogy, but I wasn't expecting this.
Peter is a bit more unique to be honest. I assumed he was the Tom Holland version, but is now somehow growing similar to both the Tobey Maguire and the PS4 version. I honestly like where he's going. Its a new mix possibly more in line with the comics. But I'll have to wait and see.
But back to the Parkers.
They were incredibly kind to me, barely asking any questions about my private life. Sure they subtlety inquired if I was living comfortably and was being taken care of, but they weren't intrusive about it. They were also pretty much content with the issue when I told them of my emancipation and that I already got a job with a future attached to it. They hadn't heard of AIM back then, but i'm sure that will change soon.
So I've more or less been hanging out with the Parkers regularly. And who wouldn't! Aunt may's cooking is really fantastic. Its the kind that gives you that homey feeling. The assurance that you're loved. Something i've been lacking in this childhood.
And besides, I got rid of Wescott before he got anywhere near Peter. Me mooching of their cooking is just my due payment if you ask me.
Another thing i've been expecting was the fact that he was being bullied in school. He's a little nerd wearing round glasses and built like a twig. He's also living in a Stereotypical school with stereotypical Bullies. Of course it was going to happen and normally it would continue indefinitely. Even after his powers, Peter usually didn't show off with his powers, both because he dreaded the attention and believed he didn't deserve the power.
To be honest, if anyone deserved Power, it was Peter. Almost every comic run screwed him over in one way or another. From losing his Family, to losing his Job or company, to being Impersonated and to even be cucked by your best friends dad. Osborne and Gwen Stacy, Who thought that was a good fucking Idea. Yeah no way am I letting that fucked up shit happen.
But honestly, a big Problem was peter's own Personality. His Hero Complex basically destroyed all sense of self interest and self preservation within him. It makes sense after all.
The Words: "With great power, comes great responsibility" Coupled with a traumatic event, is sure to burn itself into Peter's very Being. I mean sure its a good phrase, but its not something you should follow religiously.
That's why i'm...developing him so to say. Not only am I helping the growth of both his body and mind, i'm also going to slightly change his very backstory. I'm already planning to save Uncle Ben on that fateful night and am planning to change many more things as well.
Sure I'm worried that I'll take away essential parts of his Reason of becoming a hero, but this isn't really about that. I want to prove that Peter can be a great Hero while also having a happy and joyful life. (One filled with a Harem if I have the final say). So yeah, that's my plan for him
I'm finally pulled out of my inner monologue by Peter poking me in the cheek. I focus on him and ask: "What's up?"
"Did you see the the Opening of the Stark Expo yesterday." He says with a beaming smile. A yes, the beginning of Iron Man 2. While Peter starts talking about the amazing things that will be shown at the Glorified Amusement Park, I think of how this story will affect me.
As Iron Man 1 derailed on its own,i didn't want to take any chances this time and have been taking some measures to ensure the same outcome. I obviously gain something out of this, namely the Dissolution of Hammer Industries.
While AIM did produce Weapons of the same Quality as Stark industries, we simply couldn't supply the demand when we started selling to the Military. This obviously caused all the other Weapon developers to come out of the Woodwork and try their luck. Stark Industries received 40% of all Military Funds and Quit their contracts within a day. Those 40% percent were up for grabs and everyone wanted a piece of the pie.
The contracts we already prepared and the addition of the Advanced Hardware we were selling quickly got us to the second Spot on the Totem pole. Right behind that weasel Justin Hammer. He truly was detestable, the kind of person who inherited all their wealth and think they're Hot shit because of it. Well he's a spoiled Brat who's going to be embarrassed by the senate hearing both him and Stark will be attending today.
So that leaves the opening for Vanko to gain his support and drag him down when he does his Revenge fueled suicide attack against Stark. I'm obviously not only out for that though. Sure Dissolving Hammer is great and all, but there is a greater Prize looming on the Horizon.
The Arc Reactor.
You see, I've made contact with Vanko some time ago using the smugglers connections provided by Kazan and Let's just say, we got a great deal. I provide him with a set amount of Funds, Materials which he is prohibited to buy, A passport and Ticket to Monaco. And in Return, he gives me the original Arc reactor Blueprints created by his father.
"Jeanne?"
Judging by the Absence of Christine Everheart, I will once again have to make an appearance as Moira Penning to make sure Hammer takes the bait in recruiting Vanko.
"Hey Jeanne?"
So many things have been altered already and the ensuing Butterfly effects will only become worse overtime. So that's why I have to ensure that everything goes along my Plan.
"JEANNE!" Peter yells out next to me.
"What!" I quickly retort making him shrink back a bit. I wait a few seconds before saying "Sorry about that...there are a few problems at work and I..."
He looks at me in concern before asking:" Anything I can do to help? Is one of your Projects bothering you?"
He really is nice. I continue stroking his head as I explain: "Not really..Well actually yes. Its not really my Project Per say, but it has been causing trouble within AIM. I doubt you could help me though, Unless you know someone who has actual expertise in cloning. And not the type we've done before with mammals, but an avian species this time. You know how it is right?" I ask him. We've had quite a bit of trouble with our efforts to clone the phoenix. It was to be expected actually, but I thought some enhanced intellect was more than enough to have it solved in a few weeks. Its just, no one in AIM is really that adept with cloning. Maya does Human DNA and the immune system. Sterns was a cellular Biologist and Killian? He was more of a Jack of all trades, knows about everything but master of nothing. He can supervise scientists and engineers easily, but doesn't bring that much to the table himself.
But back to Peter, who probably figured out our Problems already.
He took a while to think and begins:"Well the first issue I'd guess is that Birds and mammals have extremely different DNA and you first need to do extensive research on them. The other issue is the lack of a Uterus right? Its absence is a problem for cloning and how cloning is done. When you take the nucleus out of an egg cell you kill that cell, it is completely dead. Even after you put a new nucleus in it, the cell is still dead. You have to bring the cell back to life, just like when you shock someone's heart into beating again. You run electricity through the newly cloned cell to get it to divide. The problem here is that you have to keep stimulating cell division for many generations, up to several hundred and even a few thousand cells before the embryo will develop on its own without assistance. Therefore you cannot take a single cloned cell and implant it into an ovary, oviduct, uterus or any reproductive organ and get it to grow – you have to grow it in the lab and then implant a partially developed embryo. This is okay in a uterus because the embryo implants and develops in a fixed place. In a bird, the embryo is in constant motion within the female's body – literally tumbling down the oviduct as the oviduct coats the eggshell around the embryo. To implant a cloned embryo one would have to take out the developing embryo from within a developing hard shelled egg within the female's body and replace it with the cloned embryo – and hope that the embryo integrates into the yolk of the egg and that all the puncturing doesn't deform the egg or harm the female. And...Do you even have a female of the species?" I shake my head at that. " Yeah, that's kinda hard then. Why do you want to clone it then? Is it an extinct Bird or something?"
"Ahh Something like that yeah...But wait a minute!" I grab his cheeks and smash my forehead against his." Why the Hell are you so goddamned Smart Peter. You're Thirteen dammit! Why do you know so much! You're a Genius dammit" Seriously! I've also been doing my best to improve my Stats these past months and have seen only 23 pints in INT and 14 in WIS. That is Bullshit!
You know his stats were considerably lower, making his development easier than yours.
Yeah, but I'm the gamer! He's Human!
Well you said he was one of the smartest people on the planet.
Considering Sterns reached 953 INT just a few weeks ago may mean that he hasn't reached his peak yet.
'You do make a point' I think back to SYSTEM. Sterns Head has kept growing over the last few months becoming less of an over-sized Tumor and more like his comic book Counterpart. His Ego has been growing along with his mind and it better not make way for insubordination. The recent failure with the phoenix should have taken him down a peg though.
Peter who is rubbing his head says:" Hey Jeanne, I'm just like to read a bit here and there. I'm nowhere near being a genius or even your level." He meekly replies to my rough treatment.
I simply smile at him:" Don't sell yourself short peter, cause you really are a genius. I'm just Jealous of your improvement, that's all. And remember what I said. Never apologies for being the smartest guy in the room, OK?" I shamelessly plagiarize Mysterio's words. Besides, who could sue me?
I could
Still stalking me huh Stan? Of course you are, i'm hanging around with Peter...Sooo...Please don't sue me? Cause I really like stealing other people's lines
Sure thing Kiddo
Is he gone?...
Yeah I think he's gone.
Good, back to Peter then.
My answer seems to have cheered him up a bit. He needs those confidence boosters, I've got a feeling they will be good in the long run.
" You know, I think there may be someone else who could help you out." He quickly scrunches his face in slight unease:" Or maybe not, I doubt that is a good choice"
"Hey now, don't get my hopes up only to back out now. Who did you have in mind?" I was a fan of Marvel, but not a religious one. I knew who created Adamantium, Gravitonium and a bunch of other scientists who were important. I however didn't really recall an expert in cloning technology. They probably have one but I couldn't be bother to ever learn them. Peter may have a solution though." Well?" I ask again
He swallows nervously:" Well...there's Doctor Emil Hamilton. He...He used to work for Stark industries, but an internal investigation in the company revealed that he was doing unsanctioned and illegal experiments. He is a genius when it comes to cloning technology, But I guess hiring him would only bring trouble. And your just an Assistant after all, I doubt you can decide whether or not someone new is hired." He finishes, clearly thinking he hasn't helped me
"I wouldn't be so sure Pete, I can still talk around and a suggestion might just reach the Boss-man" It definitely will.
Peter perks up again and we finally resume our exercises. Half an hour passes and we finally go our separate ways. I start walking through the park and make my way towards Hell's kitchen.
Emil Hamilton...Now that's a name haven't heard in a long time. I already sent a Message to Killian informing him of my new idea. Emil Fucking Hamilton. Yeah he'll clone the Phoenix. Whats the DNA of a Flaming Chicken compared to the man Who Cloned an honest to god alien. Emil Hamilton was the man who used DNA samples stolen from Super girl and created Galatea.
Comics make cloning out as some simple process, but its really not. That makes a scientist who actually does it properly with unknown DNA, even more impressive. So legal and moral violations be damned, we are hiring him..
While reaching the end of the park, I get a ping from my phone. I grab it from my pocket and read the message it just received. I grin to myself as I change my course. Moving to some shadows and making sure I'm not followed, I open a small portal to my destination.
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
I exit the portal and end up in the middle of Colleen's Dojo. Following the details of the message I received, I move upstairs to her bedroom. Opening the door, I am greeted by a lovely sight.
My dear Colleen, wearing a blindfold, handcuffs and otherwise completely naked. She's breathing heavily and is also blushing furiously. Another thing I notice is the small puddle on the floorboards just underneath her legs. She's kneeling on the floor right in front of her bed with an assortment of toys she recently bought for me to use.
I prefer using my true body over a glamour or Modified one and only use them for important situations. On the other hand, Walking into a sex shop and buying some items as a thirteen year old would be incredibly difficult. So I got her to do it instead.
Ans I have to say, she picked some great new "tools" for us to play with. I move towards them and start inspecting the various items. From Dildos to Anal Beads, from Nipple clamps to tasers. She's got everything I wanted.
I put all the items in my inventory and sit myself on the bed. Colleen finally notices my presence and lowers her head towards me: "Welcome Mistress...I've been waiting for you...I...I"
I remove both my shoes along with my socks and throw them onto a chair. " Speak up slave." I tell her in a slow tone.
She squirms before me, the puddle underneath her betraying her with the sounds of her dripping folds emanating from it. " Mistress...Please, I need to cum. I cant take it anymore!"
Ah yes. I used my Eromancy to supercharge all her senses earlier this morning. I also took the liberty of spreading her erogenous zones throughout her body. The slightest touch could get her off. Except of course they didn't. Courtesy of my new Spell Climax Control Which has been leaving her on edge all day.
I smile at the thought:" Tell me slut, did your precious students realize how every touch ravaged your body. Did they see what a little spar did to their precious "Sensei"."
She squirms at my verbal lashing:" No...i hid it...I don't know...if..if they noticed...they were staring today...it was amazing."
I use my foot to smack her breasts, causing a loud moan to escape her mouth." Aren't you ashamed? To so blatantly show your sinful self to those children? HAH! You really are an irredeemable whore!" I say while cackling at the situation. Colleen turned out to be such a wonderful Masochist. I'm not sure if it was her own true nature or if I molded her into this. What I can say is that I love this pet I've gotten for myself.
Speaking of which, Colleen yells out:" Yes! I'm a whore! just like you wanted me! I'll do whatever you want, just let em cum! Please! I'm begging you!" She continues moaning out as I graze her breasts with my foot. I kneel next to her and remove the handcuffs after which is sit myself on the bed again.
"My Dear Colleen, You still have to earn the right to cum. Its no good if your master gets nothing out of this you know." I say while holding my foot to her mouth.
She gently grasps it with her hands and starts licking at my toes. I don't really have a fetish for anything feet related, but this really gets me going. This girl who is now fully broken in, is joyfully liking my feet like some eager dog. I've always had a domination fetish, but have found myself enjoying many forms of sex in my previous life. I intend to do even more in this one.
While she continues licking my feet do I extend my senses to the area around us. It took her a while to get here (On account of me jumping through a portal without her) But Asako finally arrived a few seconds ago.
She's been great company these past month, even with the challenge she brought in creating a new personality. Other than giving her a name, I also gave her commands to do when I don't require a body guard. Mainly to stalk and observe other people. Not for reconnaissance, but to unveil their personalities.
What drives them to get up in the morning, what brings them Joy or sadness. Those things she was meant to find. She also started watching a lot of TV and started reading Manga I had purchased. Probably not that good an idea, but it was all I had.
The results are a bit...mixed? She was initially cold and emotionless, but now she...She is still pretty stoic and shy I guess? Eager in learning new things at least, such as seeing new technology, Places and especially food.( Her face was beaming the first time she ever ate ice cream )
But lets get back to the present. I've already undressed and ordered colleen to start licking my own nether regions as well. Asako, who is using her presence concealment to hide in the corner, is also in the process of sliding her own hand down her skin tight pants.
The beauty of Asako is that while she is experienced in sex (Due to her jobs as an assassin) She was never exposed to the pleasures of it. It was something completely foreign to her and she has a rather lovely reaction when she witnesses it. Cute blushes on her dark cheeks, dilation of pupils and poorly hidden patches of wetness forming under her clothes. All of this culminating in her masturbating furiously while spying on my activities. The Presence concealment the little Voyeur uses is meant to hide her from my own detection. To bad that give gotten used to my own presence concealment and have already developed a counter against it.
The ability hides every aspect of a person. From heat to sound to Magical presence and so on. What I focus on however is the glaring void of molecules wherever she is and use m eyes to create an accurate image. While my eyes cant pick out a concealed entity immediately, it can do it with the aforementioned method.
As far as I know, Asako doesn't know that I can easily see her debauchery. The only other method would be to use our Master/Servant Bond, but that is a two way street. She would know what I see, but I would immediately know what she was doing. So that's why every time I went to have my fun with Colleen, Asako would just magically disappear from out bond. Sure it's still there, just rather weak or dampened.
My thoughts are interrupted by Colleens Cunnilingus skills which finally bring me to orgasm myself. I suppress any moans from my mouth and let the tingling sensation wash over my body. Colleen witnessed my orgasm and has stopped her actions in response. She knows better than to continue when I just came.
I take a few seconds to recover before hoisting Colleen by the arms and throwing her onto the bed.
I once again cuff her wrists and attach them to the bed frame. I straddle her legs to prevent her to start kicking at what I'm about to do. As she is still blindfolded, she is completely oblivious me pulling two vibrators from my inventory and lining the up with her two openings.
With a quick movement, I plunge the vibrators into her vaginal and anal openings. She bucks her hips at the sensation and tries to shake me off. I hold firm and remain unmoving atop her shapely legs. She is still prohibited from cumming after all, and is still desperately edging for release.
Eromancy has leveled up to 68
…
…...
…...
Damn it! Still no new ability.
I inspect the skill in my menu once again.
Eromancy LV 68 ( Can be blocked if defenses are specifically tuned to it)
Sub skills: Pleasure manipulation, Minor body modification, Phantom touch, Liquid modification, Climax Control, Porn logic
Though not as overpowered as it sounds, Porn logic is an incredibly useful skill. While not allowing for frisky situations with complete strangers, it does resolve another problem.
Sub Skill "Porn Logic" : Any sexual encounters require no preparation and can be tailored to align with personal fetishes to an extent. Also prevents injuries, Stds and Pregnancy unless wanted( Only applies when you are present)
While probably quite versatile, it holds quite the affect for me. Basically, no more condoms, no lube and most importantly no preparation for Anal. While it can be enjoyable to both parties, its no joke that anal sex does require preparation. It can also have some after effects once the deed is done. This skill prevents so much unpleasantness when it comes to sex and I cant be more happy about it.
With my inner monologue done, I activate the two vibrators and grab onto Colleens breasts. The sound that immediately comes from her can be compared more to a desperate screeching than a moan. Well, I turned her whole body into an erogenous zone, enhanced her pleasure senses and also prevented her from cumming...That's enough to drive a person insane.
"My dear Colleen, it seems that you finally earned your reward." With that, I remove the constraints from Climax Control. The reaction is instantaneous. She bucks her hips and shakes her entire body as liquids splurt from her wet folds. Its honestly beautiful. She continues to come for a whole 5 seconds and is still plagued by spasms afterwards. However, instead of gradually calming down, she suddenly goes limp instead.
I quickly remove her blindfold to see her unmoving eyes and and use my own to analyze her.
Oh...She lost consciousness...That's never happened before.
Pretty sure you never used eromancy to torment someone like this before.
'Ahhhh...Yeah that's probably it...I guess I should put her to bed the-' My thoughts are interrupted by a loud ping.
Eromancy has leveled up to 69
Subskills evolved:
Minor body modification has become Medium Body modification
Pleasure manipulation can now be used on self.

What was that!
Nothing!
…..
..
Sure it wasn't...
not wanting to wait anymore, I cast the Modification spell on myself...
Soon a strange sensation emanates from my clitoris which quickly spreads throughout my lower body. Losing all strength in my legs, I fall flat on the bed and wait for the processes to end. A minute or two passes before the sensations settles down, only to be replaced by a completely new one.
I open my eyes and gaze towards my crotch. The view of my legs is now obstructed by a fully erect cock glistening from the light of the room. Careful of my new appendage, I move my hands towards it and grasp it softly. The sensation is...Foreign but not uncomfortable. Its also a bit big for my small body, at least seven 7 inches or so...I think at least...My hands are small.
While I do prefer good technique over size, I wont deny this lovely surprise. Messing around with my magic, I realize that I can still modify its shape and shrink it down, but cant really increase its size anymore.
Moving around with my hand, I can still find my wet labia just below my newly grown cock. Guess i'm still keeping them...'Definitely good for threesomes then.' I think to myself while chuckling. I slowly stroke my member along the shaft until eventually reaching the glands. I always new this part was sensitive, but it is still an strange feeling.
Thinking on this new development I realize something else. Why jerk myself off when I have a horny beauty already spying on me.
"Asako! Come forward!" I yell out and a small "Eeep" echoes throughout the room. I only wait for a few seconds before a wildly blushing Assassin appears right in front of me. She is covering her crotch with both her hands and is staring to the side in embarrassment.
And here I thought I would have to use one of my command seals. I stare down at my left arm and gaze upon the tree marks that shortly appeared after summoning Asako. Markings themselves also interest me. I would have expected perhaps writing in either Arabic or Farsi, or perhaps even a a depiction of daggers. What I wasn't expecting the Logo from assassins creed to show up though.
After asking Asako on the subject she revealed some details on her order of assassins. Hassan-I-Sabbah was after all a real person and ruled over two forts. Those being Alamut and Masyaf(the castle from the first assassins creed). I was a bit surprised at the revelation but equally disappointed as Asako had herself investigated her order and determined that they died out after the french revolution. The Templars themselves were absorbed by the Iscariot Organization of the catholic church...
And i'm getting distracted again.
I turn my attention to the blushing woman in front of me once more.
"Asako. I've noticed what you've been doing whenever I was with Colleen you know. I'm a bit disappointing that you never told me about this." I say in a sultry tone
She looks at me in further embarrassment.
"Ah...Apologies master...It wont happen again" She stammers out. Something I noticed during her little apology were the looks she was occasionally giving my new Phallus.
Smiling even more I grab it in one hand and say:" Why don't you make it up to me dear."
She gets the message and slowly kneels down in front of me. Without much delay, she eventually grasps my shaft and begins stroking it up and down.
"Ahh...eahh..." I moan out for the first time today. Having another person do it is...so different...Its much better and...
Asako continues stroking my cock and also begins caressing the glands with her palm. I don't know if its her technique or just my inexperience with the new organ, but my enjoyment skyrockets from the handjob. The brand new sensations prove to much for me and with a buck of my own hips, my throbbing cock begins spewing out ropes of cum. My orgasm continues for a few more seconds before I finally manage to calm down once again. A few seconds pass before I finally look at Assassin once more.
Looking at Asako, I see her covered in my fluids and looking quite unsure on what to do now. Jeez that was fast. My guess is that one of her forms is a master of seduction and that she used those skills for me...
That wont do at all. She has to enjoy it as well after all. I grab her head with both hands and start casting magic throughout our bodies. What I'm trying to do is rather easy as her own body is connected to my own mana source (It also helps that I can finally use Pleasure manipulation on myself.). I use The spell and link our senses together...and increase them a little bit as well. Maybe use some liquid manipulation to help too...
The magic circuits light up along my body and cause Asako's to give of a slight glow. A few seconds pass before the magic finally fades. The first to move is Asako who stares at her own crotch in confusion, wondering what new sensation is coming from there.
I don leave her much time to think about it, as I grip her head and direct it to my again erect member. She quickly catches my meaning and opens her mouth for it to enter. As soon as her tongue comes into contact with the throbbing appendage, she freezes once again.
I merely smile and push myself forward, forcing Asako to take it until the very base. Sh lets out a muffled moan at the action and has small tremors coursing through her body.
"You didn't think I wouldn't let you have any fun now did you?" I chuckle gleefully at our situation," No be a good girl and start sucking."
She gives a small nod and slowly begins moving her head forward. It doesn't take long for her to gain a somewhat steady rhythm of bobbing her head up and down on my cock. I do notice the small pauses here and there which are always accompanied by some shivers and a slight squeal from her gagging mouth. She also slid one of her hands down her pants to accompany the pleasure she was experiencing...naughty girl.
She continues her work and only grows in her intensity as she can directly pinpoint which techniques prove the most effective and which she should discard. Its honestly amazing, the swirling tongue around the glands. The sweet lips moving along the shaft...Its a real pro-job so to say.
I chuckle a bit at my own joke before I slowly begin to moan myself:" Ahh...Ah..Asako...I'm...I'm" I cant finish my warning as her her amazing blowjob proves to much. My throbbing member begins letting out torrents of thick come directly into her throat and fills her mouth to the brim.
She herself began spasaming with her entire body and a dripping wet patch from her own nethers could be seen.
We both calm down after a while and I wait a few more seconds before removing my flaccid penis from her mouth. Her face goes through some odd expressions, probably due to a unknown flavor filling her mouth. Her mouth, Which is still filled with my cum...She seems to be asking me with pleading eyes whether she should swallow it or dispose of it somehow,
Enticed by the sight, I pull her to me and give her a lustful kiss. Using my tongue I swirl the fluid throughout our mouths.. She seems confused at the action at first, but soon follows suit and reciprocates the kiss.
We sit there for a while...Cum swirling within our mouths, while our hands molest our bodies.
I had grown erect once again, which prompted Asako to pleasure me with her skillful hands once again. Not wanting her to be excluded, I moved my hands under her skintight pants and began pleasuring her as well.
We both come once again, with her drenching her clothing completely and me covering it with another hot load. Finally done, we break our kiss with a hazy perception and eventually swallow the loads still contained in our mouths...
Still breathing heavily, Asako finally asks something that had been on her mind:" What...Just what was that Fluid master? It tasted nothing like a man's...It was so...sweet."
I pull her into an embrace so our faces are once again only inches apart. Taking my time to lick up the leftover cum still on her face, I eventually answer her Question:" That my Dear Asako." I pause to give her a kiss" Was something have been dying to try out. Human Cum with the flavor of a Vanilla Milkshake... It kept the consistency though. But I didn't really mind. Did you my dear?"
She shakes her head while swallowing the final remains. It honestly arouses me once again and I go in for another kiss...Only to be interrupted by the ringing of my phone.
And I thought this level of cock-blocking only happened in Anime.

1 Hour later, AIM Lab, Queens
"I hate Paperwork...I really hate Paperwork..." I say to no one, still pissed of at how my fun was interrupted.
You do have a company to run...
I know...But i'm not even the CEO dammit!
I scowled a bit as I was sitting on my desk reading through various documents. With me being the owner of AIM I needed to be aware of what was happening in my company at all times. While Aldrich as CEO did much of the work he still sent some things to me to read through.
The current Document I was reading was on the Percentages of Military Contracts and how they were distributed over the USA.
100% Total being available:
40% Hammer Industries (Hopefully not much longer if my plan panned out)
28% AIM (Before Stark had left the business the small Think tank only had 0.02% in total, 28% was a massive increase)
16% Oscorp (Osborn had been rather quick in grabbing as much as he could with AIM only being faster due to my foreknowledge and prior deals)
6% Frost Steel (a sub-branch of Emma Frosts Company)
4% Reavers Universal Robotics (I instantly put Donald Pierce on her kill-list, the company itself created Military Vehicles and targeting Systems for Missiles while also dabbling in Cybernetics)
6% divided among various smaller companies (Most of those Jeanne had never even heard off...Except Blockhead Martin of course. Funny how a giant like that is so small in this universe)
That was of course only the Weapons part. Stark might have stopped to create new weapons but he still continued with producing the more defensive stuff like Protective Gear, unarmed Vehicles, Spy-drones and non-lethal weaponry like Tasers and Tear-gas for both Police and the Military. Most likely due to his wife convincing him to do so given her own background as Soldier.
Smiling a bit I send a memo to Aldrich regarding my plans for Hammer Industries so that he could prepare further expansion of AIM.
The past half year had been very profitable for AIM and they had been able to build a few more Factories to build the hardware for the Military and they should be able to handle the increased work that would ensure from Hammers fall. Maybe not all 40% but at least half of those they should be able to get their hands on.
Especially given that according to Aldrich the man responsible for distributing the Military Contracts was someone who I was quite familiar with: General Thunderbolt Ross. He got demoted after his SNAFU in Harlem and would have been dishonorably discharged if he hadn't had the right connections to get him out. Wound up with handling Logistics and requisitions for the Military...he ended up with a simple Desk job.
I remember he became secretary of State in the MCU. He may have been obsessed with hunting Banner, but this is proof that he was unquestioningly a competent man...The Type of Man who will reward a helping hand who erases his fall from Grace
He was still looking for ways to take down the Hulk or replicate it. If a company delivered this to him on a silver Platter, then I'm certain we'll become fast friends. I would have to make sure to be present when the man made his tour through AIM.
I sat back in my chair and gaze out of the window.
The billboard hanging just outside pisses me of to be honest...no Grand view, but the simple one from a three story building in Queens.
I shouldn't be that mad as it was in fact my own decision. I'm just an assistant after all. If I suddenly got a luxurious penthouse office, then some Questions would be raised. So that's why I have a pretty normal office. Its actually unusual that I even got my own room for it...I can definitely say that i'm looking forward to any promotion coming my way.
I chuckle at the thought, but am soon interrupted by the door opening. Maya enters holding a thin envelope:" I...I have the Details and Address to Dr. Hamilton." She pauses for a bit" Are you sure we should hire him Jeanne...The things I've heard ab-"
"He has the skills needed to complete Project Medela (Latin word for healing) Maya." I interrupt her." Besides, This Department was made for this sort of thing. Off the book Projects that we have to hide until completion."
The department I was working in was more or less the Misc. Department. It was the one which got the least important Projects and is seen as either a Dead end Department or a general waste of Resources within the company. The truth is obviously quite different. All dealings and Experiments we want to hide are managed through here. The problem is that Sterns, Maya, me and technically Kaecillius are currently the only members of it. So officially its only me and Maya. There's already been a lot of Gossip on how she got into a fight with Killian and got booted to MISC. The truth is obviously different, but they don't have to know that.
The Only property the Department holds is the old Lab in Queens. We moved all of the contents of the old Warehouse in Hell's Kitchen here, leaving it completely free for my own use once again.
The Lab building(and its newly built basement levels) are still quite empty so id like to find new members to fill in. So getting Hamilton was a Priority.
Back to Maya who was fidgeting after my reprimanding
She hesitates a bit before apologizing:" I..You're right, I'm sorry for doubting you Jeanne. I'll have Mercy bring the car out front. I assume you want to handle the recruitment yourself?"
"I do indeed, tell her I'll be there in five minutes". I tell her, after which she finally exits the room.
I move towards a mirror in the back of the room while stripping out of my clothes and begin casting Body Modification on my own body once again. I use the Shiki Ryougi Form I last used in Las Vegas a few Months back. My Dear Mercy is one of the few People among AIM who know of my Shapeshifter capabilities so it wont be a Problem with her. I then move to a nearby closet and remove a formal suit from within.
Is a bulletproof one made by Melvin Potter. Turns out, he's a squib descendant from the original Potter who left England and became one of the first Aurors in America. I'm not sure if he has any claim to Harry, what with their relation being so far apart. I also wonder if they'd even allow him to take custody due to his Mental Impairment. While Melvin is a fully functioning Adult, The High strung mages from Britain would object to it.
I also used my eyes to analyze the suit to reverse engineer the methods used to create it and gave the formula to one of our other divisions. Its technically theft, but I do plan on hiring him once Fisk is gone. Its not like I'm completely heartless after all..
As I finish clothing myself, I wonder why literally no correspondence between myself and the MACUSA has occurred these last few months. After all, Porpentina Skamander was supposed to take me on a tour through Dusktown, the American Magic District. I also haven't seen any signs of them turning against me so I probably think there was some sort Bureaucratic issue somewhere.
The pains of Government wherever you go.
I guess that can wait for later. I activate my presence concealment and jump out of the window of my office. I Land on my feet and deliberately don't roll to compensate for the impact. Cant get the suit dirty after all.
I soon enter the Black Chrysler through the back door and let Mercy drive me to my new Location. Hamilton lives in upstate New York, so it'll take a while for us to reach him.
The Brunette Driver of my car nodded at the directions and begins the long drive.
My new Chauffeur/Bodyguard had been a true Jewel of a find. After all, I strongly remembered Mercy Graves, the fanatical Assistant of Lex Luthor in various Universes.
I stare at her and take in her appearance. She was the athletic Brunette from the Young justice universe. This honestly confused me at first as I distinctly remembered that version being a robot. I'm quite relieved that she wasn't one to be honest. Her stats are aslo more than satisfactory for my uses.
Mercy Graves LV 93
REP (23)
OBE (40)
Strength=34
Vitality=76
Dexterity=120
Wisdom= 80
Intelligence= 132
Charm=65
Luck=20
Unique skill "Supreme Henchwoman": Gains stat increase of 20% after swearing loyalty to a master
I'm certain to say, she's got Potential
In this Universe Mercy served in the Us Army for two tours in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Her Unit had been involved in the illegal selling of Government Equipment, Something she wasn't actively involved in, but still ended with her being Dishonorably discharged. She had found the discrepancies in their records and wished to report her findings. However, her commanding Officer had been in on it and hid all records of her trying to inform someone up the chain of command. Due to this, she decided to beat the shit out of him in turn. This led to her being discharged. The only silver lining being, that she was able to instigate an investigation which ended in their imprisonment.
Even so, she assaulted a commanding officer and her Discharge wasn't rescinded.
After being dumped at home, she decided to enter the Private sector and try her luck at being a bodyguard. A Trained Marksmen and skilled in hand to hand combat and a skill for paperwork If I recall. You'd think getting that job would be easy right? Wrong.
Because the Fat cats she was trying to find a job with were usually sexist and didn't know what one was supposed to look for in a bodyguard. Look its no secret that on average, Men are physically stronger than women, but this isn't the middle ages. With Martial arts and Firearms, such differences become obsolete. So yeah, the guys who rejected her are idiots for thinking she couldn't get the job done.
On the other hand, I'm quite happy about that. Otherwise I wouldn't have had the chance to hire her myself. If I recall, Lex Luther hired her when she had also been at rock bottom. He saw the worth of her skills and character and made her his most trusted Hench-woman. He even entrusted her with his company at times. Though he also threw her under the bus when it suited her...Meh, he was still one of my favorite villains.
" Something wrong Ma'am?" I'm broken out of my thoughts by Mercy's Question. It seem that I was staring.
"No Mercy, I was just thinking of how lucky I got in hiring you. Your Qualifications are no Joke after all." She smiles at the Compliment before grimacing suddenly.
I see the reaction and inquire:" I take it that you're not quite satisfied with you're current position?"
She pauses for a bit while glancing into the rear-view mirror to see my face:" I ah...Permission to talk freely Ma'am?" She asks
"This isn't the Military Mercy and I'm not firing you for speaking your mind." answer kindly.
She peps up at that before starting:" I... Well I'm certain that I could be useful as more than a driver and frankly, it doesn't seem that you actually need a bodyguard.. I had assumed you needed protection in case you were kidnapped for your abilities, But the last two months have shown that you aren't being actively targeted, nor are you that defenseless. The other possibility I considered was that someone may kidnap you for any information on AIM. This was thrown out the window as you don't really hold that an important position in the company after all. At least you don't seem to be, but I have a feeling that's no quite the case."
I smile at her deduction:" You're correct Mercy and you do bring up a good point. I know that you are quite intelligent so I do think we can put you to better use...How would you like a more...administrative Position. Know that if you're interested then everything we are about to discuss has to remain absolutely confidential. So you're answer is important right now"
She pauses in thought while still driving the car to its destination. She eventually looks bat towards me and says:" Miss Dark, I believe my skills are currently being wasted in my current position. I would appreciate any opportunity to be of greater use."
I chuckle once again:" We will see what happens then." I prop myself forward to properly address her "As you guessed, I hold Far more Importance in the company than expected. While Killian may be the CEO, he still answers to me, The owner of AIM. And I do mean the sole owner with that, all shares of the company belong to me through the use of various shell corporations.."
Her eyes widen at the revelation. Her mind races through various ideas and deducing just what this means.
I continue: "You can obviously imagine the importance I actually hold within the company now. But lets move past that for now and move on to you...Officially you will remain as my Bodyguard and Chauffeur. While you will still hold those responsibilities, your actual role will be to be my right hand for all matters of AIM. Whether you end up as a trusted advisor or a glorified secretary will be entirely up to your performance. Is that acceptable for you." I give her a dangerous smirk through the mirror.
I hear her swallow before answering:" Of Course Miss Dark. I would be honored to accept such responsibility. I'm certain I will live up to your expectations."
I smile once again: "Good. We will settle the arrangements once we get back."
She nods at that and continues driving. A few minutes pass before she speaks up again:" I am curios though. Killian was the founder of AIM, how did you come into possession of its shares?"
"Haha...that's a great story actually. You see we made a deal. He hands over AIM and in return I kick Stark international out of the Weapons business."
The statement causes her to swerve just a little before regaining control. She calms herself:" I see that you really are more than meets the eye huh?"
I laugh at the response before telling her the tale of how I accomplished such a feat. She is clearly impressed and is now probably seeing me in a brand new manner. I obviously omit any magical aspects of course, I don't trust her that much just yet...
Now that I think about it, I still need to make sure the MACUSA doesn't freak out about me exposing their existence to my subordinates. Directer Graves will freak out when he finds out I broke the Statute and am trying to clone a bloody phoenix. He...
Something wrong?
Percival Graves …...
What about him?
Mercy Graves...
Ohhhhh.
You think they're connected?
Maybe. I know she doesn't have magic, but she could likely be a Squib...Maybe even a spy?
Shit this is a problem if I don't handle it...I guess we'll have to handle it soon enough.
I give Mercy one last look before turning to the window to view the beautiful countryside...This is rather nice actually. A nice drive out of the city...Not to far of course, Wouldn't want to meet any enemy servants after all..
With my mood once again worsening, I lean back in the seat and close my eyes in Frustration...
Angra Mainyu...That name has turned me into a paranoid wreck over the the last few months. I've always wanted to visit the many places in the world, but now I cant because that damn god will summon someone to kill me...
Even worse is the fact that I barely got any information on the Bastard. With the MACUSA being quiet, I had to rely on Kaecillius and Kamar Taj. I also have a feeling that the Ancient one is suspecting Foul Play among me and her former apprentice. As she represents a hard line position against any extra dimensional threats, including demons, She will most certainly disapprove of me actively working with them.
Back to our God of Evil though. They knew nothing of him. They actually had to read up on him due to not knowing who he was at first..Meaning they knew as much as I did. Well not quite.
They did teach me on the fundamentals of how the gods actually work here. They are actual beings that reside in their various domains of Origin(some of which are actually in other dimensions). They are extremely powerful beings that can also be affected by the beliefs of sentient life in the form of Prayers and the like. That includes aliens as well surprisingly.
What is really interesting is that a lot of this "Belief" Energy which used to support the gods is subconsciously sent out my the humans in Question. I believe that over the centuries with the rise of secular and Atheist beliefs spreading around the world, this energy was no longer being channeled towards the gods, but towards The Collective unconsciousness of Humanity instead. Alaya in other words. I have no idea if the theory is actually true, but its the only one I could come up with that would explain why Angra Mainyu hasn't plunged the world into darkness yet.
I think that as Alaya is only now truly coming into being, that this is the reason for her being so weak. The Alaya from Fate was a god in every sense of the word, but this one cant access the entirety of human Power, therefore she is still developing her consciousness. Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism and a whole lot of other Religions are still believed in this world and the power of their followers belief still flow into their respective deities...Wait, DXD is in this universe...Does that mean that the Big GOD or in other words Yahweh is actually dead?...
And what about Asguardians? Where do they fit in there, as I thought they were just aliens with magic. In the comics they were technically gods, but in the MCU it may be a different case.
You're getting sidetracked Jeanne.
Focus on the mean one.
Right...Ahriman. Angra Mainyu... The Bastard who somehow got his hands on the Holy grail. While the Artifact is deeply rooted in christian divinity, it was still crafted by human hands. I believe that as it holds such a deep significance to humanity and perhaps none to The angels of heaven, it somehow established itself as humanities divine Artifact instead of Christianity. After all, it was just a cup used by Jesus Christ. Any Miracles or Magical abilities attributed were created by human belief rather than divine intervention. It has therefore become a key and probably the only artifact of human divinity.
If I recap my thoughts, this means that the "human" Pantheon is mainly made from the Throne of heroes, the newly born Alaya and the Holy Grail which functions as a pathway to it. This probably means that Angra Mainyu somehow got his hands on the grail and overpowered an infant Alaya and is now siphoning the power she receives from Humanity. And if Social Progress and technological enhancements increase, more power will be made accessible to Alaya and therefore Angra Mainyu as well...
What confused me the most is why Angra would even want the grail. I thought as a god he should carry more power due to him being a deity. Why would he feel the need to feed of of humanities scraps so to say.
Reading up on the historical texts and scriptures did nothing to help me there. A god is a god, Why does he wish for this Power.
I've been going through your memories from your past life and I thought of something.
What if he wasn't a god created through some celestial miracle, but by humanity alone
'…...Are you saying' I take a while to process the new theory and what sort of implications it has.
the Avenger servant summoned during the third holy grail war.
The thought hit me right in the forehead like a bullet blasting out of a barrel.
What if Angra Mainyu was a God of Pure belief and no celestial origins? That he was actually a god created from the will of humanity rather than just being fueled by it. Because I clearly recalled the story form fate on how that version of him came to be.
A young villager who had his name erase from humanities records. If I recall correctly, One day, he was randomly chosen as the "source of all evil in the world" by his village and was tortured and sacrificed in the ensuing rituals. The villagers, who were suffering from various disasters, eventually came to need a scapegoat for blaming their troubles onto. This scapegoat would be designated to be a demon and be chosen to be the reason for all the calamities afflicting the village. Simultaneously, he would be chosen to be the source of all the world's evil and by his existence, the villagers would have to be good by nature.
So they continuously tortured him until he went insane. They captured him, beat him, carved every word that cursed mankind onto his body, forced every sin imaginable upon him, took out bits and pieces of him slowly, defiled his mind with absolute evil, and held him responsible for all of it in the world. They would not allow him to die until he succumbed to old age. He had a curse put on him as a result, one made of the great evil that he was to represent.
All of this culminating with his death, lead to a birth of a new god. A helpless sacrifice—an ordinary person without any special talent—that transformed into exactly what they wanted, that was determined to be and came to represent All the World's Evil.
I was practically trembling at the idea of this being true. Its one thing for a god to represent evil, but to be one who actually IS IT! This is a being forged by Humanity's perception of evil, not the free will of a god. If this theory is actually true!...
It would explain why he wants Alaya's power. But it also means that once he has enough, he will enact All the worlds evil upon Humanity. He would be fulfilling his sole purpose after all...
Fuck. The abstract beings of Marvel like Death, Eternity, Oblivion and many more represent the strongest beings after the one above all and the living tribunal. If Angra Mainyu gets enough Power, he would stand among their ranks and the Manifestation of Evil...
'I cant let that happen.' I think to myself. This time I smile at the window and directly at my reflection. I let out a small chuckle that goes unnoticed by Mercy.
'Looks like I'll have a duty of playing hero myself Huh?'

30 minutes later
Mercy Graves
"That shouldn't take Long. I'll be back in a bit Mercy!" Jeanne told her while exiting the car.
she stopped before the door of the House and rang the bell. Just a short while later a scruffy Looking man in a Lab coat who had seen better days opened the door. The man looked at Jeanne with a annoyed but also confused Expression.
"Yes, how can I help you Young Miss?"
Jeanne smiled what she hoped was a charming smile.
"Doctor Emil Hamilton?"
Hamilton nodded, slowly getting more cautious as he mustered her pale Skin, Pitch black hair and even darker Eye-Color.
"Yes, that is me."
Jeanne smiled.
"Good. My Name is Shiki Ryougi and I represent a Firm which is very interested in hiring you Doctor Hamilton. You see, when we heard About Tony Stark sacking you after you were investigated, we just had to see if you would be interested in joining our Company. Its no good if such a skilled mind is wasted"
Emil Hamilton's Expression darkened as Tony Stark was brought up but his Expression lightened when he heard that Jeanne was here to recruit him which appealed to his desire to continue working.
"I see. You may be interested that I have already received a similar offer from Oscorp. Tell me at least who you are working for. And what would you exactly offer me to outmatch the offer made by Osborne.?"
Jeanne smiled in amusement.
"Well, I'm certain Oscorp was only interested in putting you to Tasks which they were already working on and which they couldn't finish alone. You strike me as the man who is interested in following his own Projects and more importantly: work with competent People which are rare to find. We only want your cooperation on a single project and after that you will receive funding, Lab equipment and full permission to pursue any projects of your own "
Emil's brows rose in interest which Jeanne noticed with a smile. Handing the Doctor a business-Card she slowly began walking away to her car.
"If you give us a try Doctor, then you will find that our Company is exactly what you would wish for. "
Emil Hamilton looked at the Card which had a Phone-number and three large black Letters: AIM.
"Wait!" He yells out after her. She turns around to face him before he continues:" If I am to join you, then you have to be honest with me. I already told Osborne of this. I don't want to be involved in anything evil. I wont support greed if it serves as a detriment to Mankind."
Jeanne is taken aback before asking:" Weren't you fired for illegal research yourself? Have you had a change of heart?"
he scoffs at the idea:" Nothing of the sort. I kept my beliefs and they will remain unshaken. Besides, just because it is illegal, doesn't mean it is immoral. Genetic modifications, stem cell research, Cloning. These subjects are so heavily regulated and frowned upon when they can old the keys to humanities betterment. Lawmakers aren't always operating from a moral standpoint but rather an economic one. Genetic research on Plants and Food is practically forbidden, yet we are forced to eat food that has been treated by hormones and chemicals that are proven to affect the consumers. Taking stem cells from human fetuses is a great taboo, but abortions are supported! Why cant we have both instead?!
Its because Laws are made by hypocrites that barely know what they are doing. I spit on such fools who impede the betterment of mankind. And I hate those who pretend to care only for them to line their pockets in the background. People like Osborne are just that and I wont support any of it." He calms down after his little tirade. It would seem that he was still pissed of about the fact that he had been fired.
Jeanne looks upon him in surprise before walking towards the car. She opens the door and reaches in to pull a thin envelope out of the car behind them. Mercy clearly recalled that she didn't have anything with her. It was almost like magic... She knew Jeanne held abilities, but she wasn't really sure anymore if it was only based on biological mutations..
Mercy sighed as she leaned back in the car. Keeping a close eye on her new boss, who was talking to the scruffy Scientist, she thought back to how they met each other.

Mercy waited patiently outside of the CEO of AIM, Aldrich Killian's office. Looking at the door where she heard some muffled voices she grew a bit nervous, believing that once again she wont be able to get the job due to some bullshit reason.
Her Cousin Percival reassured her that he would help her find some sort of obligation should she be unable to find something on her own, but she doubted he could be of any help. Blood supremacy in the states wasn't as bad as in Europe, but she still doubted that a squib like herself could find any proper employment.
Mercy scowled as she remembered the expression on several high-ranking people who she applied to only to be rejected.
The latest rejection being from Stark Industries who had hired some red-haired woman called Natalie Rushman instead of her due to the attractive woman also being able to work as a Secretary for Stark. She also suspected that the easily accessible pictures of her modeling jobs also helped her application with the former playboy. Though at least Pepper Potts had been more polite on her rejection then some of the others like Osborn. That man basically wanted her as a bodyguard officially and as a personal whore otherwise. He grew angry at her rejection and probably badmouthed her among other potential employers. SHE WAS NOT A PROSTITUTE DAMNIT!
Mercy flinched as the door suddenly opened and The Dr. Hansen, who she had met earlier, stood in it.
"Come in Miss Graves. She is interested in meeting you."
She? Not Killian?
Quickly standing up, Mercy walked into the room to look at her possible employee only to blink in slight shock. The figure in front of her was not some old businessman or woman. Instead she was looking at a white-haired and pale skinned girl who mustered her with a strange look of fascination on her face. Was she being forced to be a babysitter for this girl? Killian's Daughter perhaps?
Mercy's beliefs of her being a normal girl were also immediately shattered by her leering at her cleavage a bit before looking back at her face. Gathering herself she spoke up with her most professional tone while looking at both her and Aldrich Killian who was also present.
"If I may introduce myself. I´m Mercy Graves. I was informed that you wished to interview me for the sake of hiring me as a bodyguard?
The girl looked at Mercy with an amused expression before looking at her Killian:"I like her. Thanks for introducing us Aldrich"
Killian merely stated:" Sure Jeanne, Though I still cant understand why you would want a bodyguard, I at least made sure you would get a competent one." He said while exiting the room. Mercy was slightly glad as it seemed that this employer was actually appreciating her skills for a change. She was still confused as to why this girl needed protection though.
She snapped to attention as the girl finally addressed her.
"Nice to meet you Mercy. I´m Jeanne Dark, Assistant researcher for Advanced Idea Mechanics or AIM for short. Given my obvious age I need a Chauffeur who can drive me around and of course you would also work as Bodyguard. You are probably wondering why such importance is put on my safety, so I will show you the reason." The girl stated.
Mercy stared in astonishment as the girls facial features and part of her build morphed and changed seamlessly. After the short demonstration was finished, the girl continued talking." You may have heard of my kind before but I'll tell you about it anyway. I'm a mutant and were trying to use my DNA to develop and improve well...anything really. Diseases to injuries and so on. That's why I ought to be accompanied at all times.
That is, if you accept the Job-offer of course?"
Jeanne looked at Mercy questioning. Mercy, who liked the offer quickly nodded her head in acceptance causing Jeanne to smile.
"Great, then come on. We already prepared an employment Contract for you."
Again Mercy suppressed a smile as she was dragged out of the room by the little and very mysterious girl. She mentally archived her new bosses strength, which was very much above of what a little girl should be capable off.
A knock at the door made Mercy snap out of her memories and she looked at the smirking expression of Jeanne with panic. Quickly exiting she opened the door for Jeanne who sat down in the back of the car with a satisfied expression.
"Drive us back to AIM Mercy."
Mercy sat down at the Drivers-seat again and nodded. While starting up the car, she thought about what her boss had revealed to her earlier. Was anything she had told Mercy during the interview even true? It did help that she had been trusted with this much information, but she was still suspecting that Jeanne still had something to hide. For now this doesn't matter, but rather the fact that she does her job.
"Got it, boss."
