SHIELD Helicarrier
It been 12 hours since the incident in Savage Land, where the search for both investigators and the rescue team took place. There, it became clear the there was a third party involved when two combatants interfered and started attacking the members of the Hound. While Shinji and Blake managed to draw away the superhuman attacking them, they couldn't stop him from incarcerating the body of his dead comrade, preventing a search.
The aftermath is Shinji and his squad finding the bodies of the previously mentioned squads near a site where it's rumored that it contains units of vibranium underneath. The position of the investigation unit shows them running away, while the rescue team looked like they were fighting back. While the red haired man ended using his powers, which seems to be control over electricity, to burn his partner beyond recognition, with the evidence they managed to scrap up, finds out that the sniper is Hydra.
"Is that what you find?", asks Fury, as he's sitting in his office while the Helicarrier is stationed above Manhattan.
"Yes sir. From what we found, it seems that Hydra never came to Savage Land for the vibranium as none of the investigating squad's equipment were tampered with along with the site still being scavenged.", informs Blake as Fury is still looking at the report, with Dugan on his right side.
"The bodies of the dead will be returned to their families.", says Fury as he places the report down, "The official report will say that it was during a mission near Antarctica. As much as it feels wrong to do this, I have a lot of enemies inside several governments, willing to replace me with someone who suits their interests. I can't let that happen."
"I understand sir.", says a calm Blake as he salutes to Nick Fury, "Then I'll be on my way sir."
Meanwhile, Shinji is staying in a room in the Helicarrier. The SHIELD Helicarrier is considered a base, so many agents sleep in it, each with their own rooms. Shinji has his own bedroom as well, he's listening to his SDAT player, with his headphones blocking anything other sound, other than the emergency siren.
Right now, he's thinking about Mana Hiroshima, a young women showing interest in him. He doesn't know why. She's seen Blake, yet asked him to help her with her apartment the other day. Helps that she doesn't that he had a daughter at the time, as Shinji told her the next day. Shinji feels squeamish, as this has never happened before, a girl who'd so direct with him. He was scared as well, thinking that there might be another reason.
But above all, he's afraid of what will happen next. If something happens, he feels like it might be his fault. That everything might be his fault.
"I don't think I'm good enough.", thought Shinji, laying in his bed.
Shinji looks at his SDAT, which been playing the music he brought with him, to this world. He then thought about when he had to leave for SHILED training as a young Shinji gave Blake his SDAT for safekeeping. At that time, Blake was the one person who Shinji first created a connection with in this world. At the same time, that connection might not be real at the time. That's what Shinji more afraid of.
Shinji looks around the room. It's not so different from hi normal room. It's just missing the piano and computer. He's supposed to stay here for a couple more hours before he and Blake can have a ride to New York.
Shinji decides to walk around the Helicarrier, hating the empty room. As he does that, her received a text message from Mana. When he was helping her with her house the other day, she puts her number on his phone when he wasn't looking.
"I came to see you today, but you're not here.", the message says as Shinji realizes he never told her about his work, "Text me back asap!"
She left a small heart on the end of the text as Shinji almost lost balance while walking, not even expecting it. He feels nervous as it seems that she looks interested in him. A couple of girls look at his direction from time to time, or that what Blake said, but never this forward.
"I'm working now. I'll talk to you in a couple of hours.", Shinji texts, hoping that she doesn't question where he works in.
She does.
"Where do you work?", texts Mana, as Shinji stops for a moment to think.
Before he can come with an answer, his ear piece came on, with Blake on the other side.
"Shinji, it's me.", greets Blake, "I need you to report to the labs. Fury wants to watch over an important guest."
"It's not Dr. Kursunada this time?", asks Shinji, as he's the one to guard him, seeing as Dr. Kursunada usually use him as a test subject to use new weapons or armor.
"No. It's an Avenger.", announces Blake, waiting for Shinji's reaction.
Truthfully, Shinji was little overwhelm that a member of a high class superhero team needed him to guard them, but was silent about it, as he answers, "Roger. I'll be soon."
Blake is a little disappointed that Shinji didn't react the way he wanted. Even so, Blake is surprised that an Avenger is here on such short notice. Blake figured that Fury wanted Shinji to guard him because of Shinji's powers, but unknown to Shinji, there on more reason why Fury selected Shinji.
Helicarrier, Laboratory
This section of the Helicarrier is where the scientist working with or for SHIELD stay. Each lab is fit for certain scientists needs, depending on what they are developing. Shinji walks around the hallway where he finds one of the labs with guards in front of the doors. The guards moved away from the doors and Shinji enters the lab to see a single scientist wearing goggles, working on some type of gun.
The scientist notices Shinji, as he stops what he's doing and removes his goggles. As he approaches Shinji, Shinji recognize who this Avengers is. Hank Pym, otherwise known as by the world, Yellowjacket and the original Ant-Man and Giant-Man.
While Shinji is a little surprised by this, this affect him a little bit as he seen the Avengers as a whole from a far, especially of an aftermath of big event like an alien invasion or something else world altering. Hank Pym stops and looks at Shinji, as Shinji feels like he's being judged. Hank then approaches Shinji and extends his hand.
"You must be my personal bodyguard. Fury told me that you the best person to defend an Avenger.", comments Hank.
"He did?", wonders Shinji, before making a small smile, "Then I won't fail ether of you."
Hank then inspects Shinji once more with his eyes before turning back to his project.
"He… looks like that boy years ago.", thought Hank on the resemblance between Shinji 7 years ago and Shinji, now, "I doubt that Fury would let an unknown among his ranks, but…"
The next two hours was Shinji watching from corner, across the door, watching Hank and his surroundings, looking for anything abnormal. During the time, he managed to silently sent Mana a text about his occupation. While it isn't completely false, it's lying about his job.
"I'm a security guard for a company."
Shinji hopes she doesn't ask more questions, seconds later, he received a text on where he works. Shinji wishes that Mana doesn't asks more questions about him, as he might lie to hide his work with SHIELD… and about himself. It's hard for him, as this woman seems to want to know more about Shinji. Shinji doesn't know why, but it makes him nervous.
An hour more has passed, and all Shinji does was to check on his needle pistol to prevent jamming. He also checks on his combat knife as well. As he checks the edges, he remembered that time 7 years ago, with his first kill. He still remembered the feeling as blood and guts fell off of Adrian, along with his shocked and desperate eyes when Adrian realizes that he's dying. It was then, that Shinji remembered that deaths he caused over the years. He tries to not to kill, but it's easier said than done as every knife kill, every clean shot, every grenade kill. He crushed someone with his A.T. Field once during a rather difficult mission.
Shinji's throat starts to dry, as he can feel something coming. He starts breathing hard, but quickly grabs something from the poach on his belt. It was two small pills, which he quickly puts on his mouth and uses his remaining saliva he can gather to shallow it. They weren't anything special, but normal anxiety pills he's been using over the years. To help with his anxiety that been developing over the years.
Hank Pym didn't notice as he he's busy with his experiment as Shinji sighs in relief that Hank didn't hear his near panic attack. But still, it's been really quiet ever since Shinji arrived here. Shinji bodyguard for scientist before, mostly Dr. Kursunada, who's interested in Shinji's powers, saying it might relate to a new subject being talked about in Japan, but Shinji shows no interest in it.
Shinji wonders if Hank Pym is like him, quiet when alone with new people. If so, then Shinji has something to relate with an Avenger as Shinji feels he isn't Avenger material. About 20 minutes have passed as Hank Pym finally says something.
"Sorry if the last 3 or 4 hours have been boring.", apologies Hank as he removes his goggles, "I don't talk much with people unless we have something in common."
"Ironically, now we have something in common, Mr. Pym.", smiles Shinji as Hank confirms his suspicion.
"I just get nervous talking to random people due to my… reputation.", slowly says Hank as Shinji thought about the things that Hank Pym is known for.
One is the Pym Particles, an amazing discovery that shrinks anything in size as well as increase anything. To Shinji, it's more interesting than a man in a metal suit. While it's one of the more positive feats of Hank Pym, there two negative aspects that effect Hank in the public eye, even though he's a respected scientist.
Hitting Janet van Dyne, his then wife and Ultron. Two things that Hank Pym regrets.
While Shinji is aware of these events, he tries not to judge or think about it. He feels he has no right to judge Hank, a person like him. Shinji doesn't know where these thoughts came from, but he knew it something he feels about himself.
"You're reputation is something I don't think about Mr. Pym.", assures Shinji, "I'm merely doing my orders."
"How does it feel working with a man like Fury?", asks Pym, hoping to strike up a conversation.
Shinji took about a couple of seconds before answering, "Demanding. Mostly because I try to perfect my missions so it's more or less my fault. I don't like failing."
"Failing is something I hate too, but you won't know unless you try.", says Hank.
"I just think it's a waste, chasing something that will be nothing in the end.", said Shinji as he looks away to the ceiling and for some reason, thought about Mana, "In the end, is it worth it?"
Later
Shinji and Hank soon had a comfortable conversation about various things after this. They talked about various things, but nothing personal. After which, Shinji escorts Hank Pym to a transporter, in which he and Blake also entered to take them back to New York which is below them. Except for a slight wave to each other, nor Shinji and Pym pretend to know each other as they go back to their own worlds.
After getting home via a SHIELD hover car, which disguised itself as a taxi upon landing in the front of their apartment, Shinji and Blake exit the car, returning to their vacation from work, as they are given two more days in order to make up for the mission to Savage Land.
Immediately after arriving to the kitchen, Blake grabs the phone and calls for Henry residence as Shinji goes to take a shower. When Blake realizes that it's a Monday and that Suzie is at school and Brianna at work, Blake hangs up the phone in frustration. He wanted to make it for Suzie, but had to wait. Suddenly, the doorbell rings as Blake opens the door to see Mana standing on the other side.
"Good afternoon, Blake.", greets Mana as Blake is a little surprised that she knows they're here, "Is Shinji here?"
"Umm… he's in the shower right now. We just got off work.", answers Blake before opening the door wide open, "Come in."
"This place is really nice and clean.", comments Mana, as thanks to Shinji, who cleans the house fully before leaving to the Helicarrier.
"I can't clean or cook, so Shinji does it, saying it's good health to clean the house and eating homemade food."
"Heh. He sounds like a mother.", smiles Mana who lets out a soft laugh upon realizing something, "Which makes you the father."
"Don't even joke about that.", says Blake says a half serious, who understood Mana is kidding, "I'm already a father to someone with a mother."
"So how is your daughter?", asks Mana.
Blake takes a moment before answering, "Things has taken bad turn like always every time my work interferes."
"Is working as a security guard really that tough?", questions Mana.
"What is she talking about?", thought Blake as he realizes that Shinji may had said something to hide the fact that they are agents of SHIELD. I see. It's pretty tough. My boss is pretty much a hardass."
"I can understand.", comments Mana, shifting her eyes before looking at the bathroom, "So Shinji is going to be there awhile right?"
"He just got in, so yeah.", answers Blake as Mana has a mischievous smile on her face.
Few Minutes Later
After a couple of minutes in the shower, Shinji came out of the bathroom to see Blake in his room. Shrugging it off, Shinji goes to his bedroom as he wipes a little water off his face as he opens the door. When he enters his room, he finds Mana on his bed looking at him with a mischievous smile on his face.
"Shinji-kun, your skin is really whiter outside your clothes.", says Mana in Japanese.
Shinji notices Mana, took a moment to realizes that it's really is Mana, then quickly hides behind the door.
"Mana-san!?", yells in Japanese, an embarrassed Shinji, "What are you doing here!?"
"I wanted to see you, but it seems that saw a lot more than expected.", comments Mana as pulls the door to see a half-naked Shinji, "But you really have a good body, Shinji-kun. You should show it off more."
"It's embarrassing!", counters Shinji as he pulls the door again to hide himself.
"I wonder if you have anything naughty in your computer.", smirks Mana as she quickly rushes to Shinji's computer.
"Wait!", shouts Shinji as he quickly covers the on button on his computer.
"There's nothing wrong with watching that kind of stuff.", says Mana as she tries to take Shinji's hand off the button, "You're old enough for your libido to awaken. It's normal. I'm just want to know what you're interested in."
"Don't!", shouts Shinji.
"The fact that you're covering the button means you do have something in your computer and I more curious to see it.", said Mana as she slid her fingers under Shinji's hands and turns on the computer.
"Don't! Mana-",Shinji almost said, trying to turn the computer off, but Mana quickly snatches his towel off his body.
"Whoops.", said Mana as Shinji realizes that he's fully naked.
"Oh god!", yells Shinji as he quickly covers himself and hides behind the door.
"Sorry, but I'm the type to win by any means necessary.", remarks Mana as Shinji made no response, "Shinji-kun?"
"Why did she do that for?", thought Shinji, embarrassed about his private parts.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you. I just wanted to see the kind of faces you make other than gloomy ones.", explains Mana, who looks disappointed with what happened "I just want you to have a little fun."
"Sorry. I'm just not use to these kinds of things.", explains Shinji, as he quickly grabs a towel hanging from the rack on the door to cover himself, "It's just too sudden. Why are you doing here anyway?"
"Well I have my day off today and I wanted to spend time with somebody, so I wanted to hang out with you today.", said Mana as Shinji blushes a bit.
"Just me?", wonders Shinji as Mana nods.
"I know this is too sudden, but I don't a lot of people and you just came to my mind, and I don't like being alone so, if it okay with you-", Mana says, before Shinji interrupts.
"Yes! I mean I would like…to", slowly answers Shinji as Mana smiles.
"Good.", cheerfully says Mana as she leaves the room, "I'll wait for you to change and pick out some of the places we can go tonight."
"I won't keep you waiting.", smiles Shinji as Mana looks surprised.
"You smiled.", comments Mana as Shinji just notices that he smiled.
"You're right.", says Shinji as he realizes that he doesn't smile that often, "Is it weird?"
"No, it's cute.", comments a smiling Mana as she closes the door, leaving Shinji by himself.
"My smile is… cute", thought Shinji, not even comprehending that she might be right.
As he slowly looks for neat clothes to go out in, Shinji thought about his early conversation with Hank Pym, about risking. He feels attraction towards Mana, like he wants to be close, but afraid that things might be bad in the end. He thought about his relationships he currently has and the people on the opposite side of his relationships
To Shinji, there was always something between them that stops him from being close to others, like a wall. Like there's keeping him out, but Shinji feels that with Mana, it feels like she's letting him in. But, something still feels wrong. Even so, he still dresses up nice just look more appealing to Mana. Deep down, he wanted her to notice him more than anybody else.
"You look nice.", complements Mana on Shinji's outfit.
"Thank you.", thanked Shinji, who almost tongue tying himself, "Blake! I'm going out!"
"You are!?", shouts a surprised Blake as his head sticks out his door, "Crap, wh-what did I miss?"
Shinji notices that Blake slurs his words a bit and realizes that Blake must have drank some beer earlier. He still doesn't know when Blake had the time for that. Suddenly, Mana places his arms around Shinji.
"Well then, shall we go Shinji?", says Mana in English as Shinji nods.
"Y-yes.", responds Shinji as Mana leads him to the door, as Shinji turns his head to Blake and mouths, "Is this a date?"
Blake responds by mouthing, "Make it one."
As the two leaves the apartment, Blake grabs the phone and quickly dials a number as he walks to the curtains and sees Shinji and Mana walking away from the apartment.
"It's me. The hound with rabies left. You can take over.", says Blake to whoever is on the other line.
"Got it. Leave the rest to me.", said a woman on the other line as Blake hangs up.
As Blake stares out the window, he still sees Shinji and Mana from a distance. His eyes then point to the house across the apartment complex as a young women wearing normal, bland clothing leaves the house and goes to the same direction as Shinji and Mana. She is an agent of SHIELD assigned to spy on Shinji in his private life, when Blake is nowhere near him.
In the end, Blake can only make a somber look his face as he once again choses his job over his personal relationships. This is one of the reason why Blake hates himself. He glances over at a picture on the picture on the stand next to the couch, of his family with a father on a couch, a mother stand beside him, and a son next to the mother. He wants to smile, but couldn't, as this picture is a reminder on the things he regretted.
As he walks to his room, he remembered that Dugan gave him a present, saying that it might suit him more. Wanting to something to distract him, Blake grabs the bag with the present, and finds two black Desert Eagles in it, with one of them having a bit longer barrel. He sits in the couch and smirks, as he remembered testing these guns a while ago before their mission to Alaska.
Unknown Location
"It such a shame, that we lost such a valuable sniper, but I thank you for going into Savage Land.", thanked Iscariot, as he sits behind his desk in front of Agent Lorenz, the crimson haired European.
"Thank you for the apologies", sarcastically says Lorenz as he looks at Iscariot in his eyes, "but that's not what I'm here for. When we came to Savage Land, there were SHIELD agents looking for vibranium. You said that you want us at Savage Land to find something valuable, but what's more valuable than vibranium?"
"Something to render everything as meaningless.", says a voice belonging to a young women coming into the room.
She is pale with blue eyes and auburn hair wrapped in a ponytail entering the room. She has the face of a shrewd women, but still beautiful. She glares at Agent Lorenz as she continues talking.
"We took a chance on finding something that would complete the B-Project, but failed. It will be easier to see if the prototype could show it's worth, but Viper feels threaten from Commander Iscariot.", informs the women as she walks to Iscariot's side, "Fortunately we have the council to help reverse our situation as well as the help from one of its members, your grandfather."
"You just love think of me that I obtain my position because of my grandfather. Besides, aren't you the same?", sneers Agent Lorenz as he looks at Iscariot then back at the women..
"Enough Baldrik, Varvana.", Iscariot says as the two stops their argument, "I understand your family situation. As you know I find your grandfather extremely unlikeable, in my opinion. But don't forget we've managed to get into this status with his help. Remember that, the both of you when in front of others."
"Understood.", says Varvana as Baldrik nods then look the other way.
"Agent Lorenz, it seems that you have run into this "Untouchable" person in Savage Land.", announces Iscariot as Baldrik flinches at that.
"Who did you know?", questions Baldrik as Iscariot folds his hand in front of his mouth.
"You shouldn't underestimate me. That's how villains are defeated in the first place.", comments Iscariot before asking, "So… what do you think of him?"
"Untouchable.", Baldrik answers as that the only thing he can think of, "Nothing we have couldn't hit him. It was a like a wall is protecting him. He's has good aim with a gun and threw his knife pretty good and could have injured me if I didn't have powers. As expected from someone from a squad called the Hounds."
"Untouchable, huh.", quietly says Iscariot before continuing, "Any wall can be torn down with the right tool. Just wait and study for a weakness."
"I know that, but…!", Baldrik tries to say before Iscariot lifts his hand in silence.
"Agent Lorenz. There is something that the entire Hydra organization has been working on for a while now. I wish to have you as the bodyguard of it. SHIELD will opposes us there and would most likely bring the Hounds.", announces Iscariot as Baldrik realizes what he's implying and smirks.
"I got it. There, is where I'll kill him right?", says Baldrik as he knew the answer.
"If you want to, you can do it earlier then that if you have the chance. Less trouble for us.", said Iscariot.
"Alright, Then I'll just go.", says a smiling Baldrik as he leaves the room as Iscariot and Varvana remains.
"I'm glad he's gone. There more than one reason why I came here.", says Varvana as she leans over to Iscariot's face, holds his right hand, who lays it to the table, and kisses him.
She closes her eyes when she was doing it, but nobody can tell is Iscariot is doing the same. He just stood there with his mask on, making no movement other than his tongue to satisfied Varvana, When Varvana tried to remove his mask, he pulls away and grabs her hand.
"Don't. I told you that I'm sensitive about my face.", warns Iscariot as Varvana backs away.
"S-sorry. I just…", Varvana starts apologizing before stopping.
"Never mind. B-Project still needs some adjustment before the field testing. Work on them.", orders Iscariot as Varvana flinches before nodding her head.
"Un-understood.", obeys Varvana as she leaves the room and looks back after closing the door.
Movie Theater
After a minute on egging Shinji on where they're going, Mana announces that they are going to the movie which surprises Shinji as it's more simple then most options. Even so, it still doesn't make Shinji any less nervous. Upon reaching the theaters, Shinji decides to let Mana choose, as she jokes and says they should see a bad rom-com. They see a bad rom-com in the end.
They don't talk much to each other in the movies, mostly due to Shinji's shyness preventing conversation as well as not wanting to bother the other moviegoers even though there are only 6 people there, including them.
In order to ease the atmosphere, Shinji decides to make a joke and hopes it works.
"You know; I'm expecting Adam Sandler to appear any minute now. He usually works in these type of movies.:, jokes as Mana took a moment and laughs a bit, covering her mouth.
"Took me a minute to realizes who that is.", admits Mana, who was from another country before coming here, "And it's good to find out you have a sense of humor, Shinji-kun."
"Well Blake been preparing me for this for the last few years.", admits Shinji as he feels embarrassed by this, "He said that it's about time that I have a girlfriend and been giving me all kind of advice since."
"What kind of advice?", wonders Mana before guessing in a suspicious tone, "The "Gentlemen" type or the "One Night Stand" Type?"
"More the first one.", admits Shinji, even though Blake did tell him some advice on the latter.
Shinji once remembered something Blake said something to him about women… while drunk.
Few Years Ago
"Shinji. Th-the thing a-r-bout women is that they are crazy!", says Blake, putting more emphasis on "crazy".
"Talked with Ms. Henry again.", guesses Shinji as he was correct.
"You want them and at the same time, they drive you nuts!", complains Blake as he takes another drink as the two are sitting in dinner table, playing poker, "Mixed messages and sh#t. Can't they just say what on their mind!?"
"Wel-", Shinji tries to say, but Blake stops him.
"The answer is no! So we have to be the ones to be direct!", yells Blake as he walks over and grabs Shinji's shoulder, "Shinji. The moment a girl takes an interest on you…"
Blake then starts shaking Shinji, "take the chance! You hear me take the chance!"
Present
"Be more direct.", thought Shinji and Blake's advice, although he's having second thoughts, "But Blake never been in a stable relationship since I've met him so…"
"Shinji-kun?", says Mana, wondering on why Shinji stop talking.
"Sorry. I was thinking to myself.", apologies Shinji as he looks at Mana, "Take a chance, huh."
He really doesn't know what to do or how to do that. He's use to being passive that as time went on, it felt that he was bond to be that way for the rest of his life. He always wants to be with someone and yet, the thought also terrifies him. What would change, will it last, it really good or bad?
That's when Shinji felt something touching the side of his hand which is holding to the armrest. It was Mana's hand that was touching his left as Shinji's face redden upon realization. Her hand felt warm to Shinji as he wanted to embraces it. The chance to be "direct" came.
Shinji looks at her face, which is looking at the movie screen, but hasn't notice that she's touching his hand… or rather, looking like she doesn't notice her touching his hand.
"If I can feel, why can't she?", wonders Shinji as he realizes something, "Unless she's doing it on purpose!"
Shinji looks at Mana and wonders why she interested in him. Why a person like him? What's so special about him? They just met a few days and yet… she's this interested in him.
"Mana-san. I don't know you that well. We just met a few days ago and yet you're giving me these signs. I wonder, are you like?", wonders Shinji as he looks at Mana before turning to the screen and moving his hand away from Mana's.
Later
"That was such a bad movie. Right?", says Mana as Shinji nods in agreement.
"It really was.", agrees Shinji as he wonder if she really was egging him on.
"But… you were really quiet the while time.", said Mana, sounding a bit disappointed, "I know it's rude to talk, but I wanted us to get to know each other more."
"Then…", Shinji says before pausing and getting second thoughts, but continues, "why do you… want to be with me?"
"What do you mean?", asks Mana as Shinji stops to gather his thoughts.
"I mean that…", Shinji tries to say before pausing as he couldn't continue as he's afraid that he might say something that might hurt Mana, "is just that-"
"OH MY GODDD!"
Shinji is interrupted by the nearby screaming from a woman a block away as he and Mana turns to the empty, streetlight lit street. Shinji tense up as for a second, he forgot he was an agent of SHIELD instead of a man with a woman. A part of him is glad he never finished his sentence, which he makes him feel worse about himself, but knew that as an agent to a peacekeeping force so he has to find out what's happening.
"What was that?", asks a tense Mana as Shinji turns to her.
"Mana-san. Please get a away from her and call the police if I'm not back in 2 minutes and run away.", orders Shinji in a more serious tone, "Please."
"O-okay.", nods a tense looking Mana as Shinji runs to the direction of the screaming.
Mana ran to the other direction for about 10 seconds before stopping. She pulls out her phone as her usual cheerful look turns more serious.
As Shinji runs and sees an alleyway where the scream most likely came from. He pulls out a pistol, which he hid in his pants and sees something coming out the alleyway. It was the corpse of a women as Shinji stares at the ragged and maimed body, which looked like something out of a hardcore torture movie.
Something inhuman comes out the alleyway. It looked slimy and mysterious, yet lean as it's tongue extends out its mouth towards the body. Shinji remembered some familiar to it, back when he was starting out as an agent. He feels his neck tingling as he remembered a black tentacle grabbing his neck and looking at his mysterious eyes.
"Venom!?", thought a tensed Shinji as he raises his gun to the figure before the thing came into the streetlight and reveals his red skin, "No, Carnage!"
In Shinji's back pocket, there is his badge with the SHIELD insignia on it. Shinji forcefully presses the bird on the insignia as it sends a signal to the Helicarrier. After which, Shinji raises his gun to the air and fires as the pop echoes across the night, grabbing Carnage's attention, Carnage turns to see Shinji with his gun aiming at him with one hand and showing his badge with the other.
"Carnage! You are under arrest for the suspicion of murder! You have 5 seconds to cooperate or I'll have to put you down!", declares Shinji as Carnage smirks at a new victim.
That's all for now. I didn't have much time to edit today because I have to go to work, but I'll edit some things tomorrow. Hope you enjoy this and my other stories.
