Chapter 5

The next day, the party was underway and so was Doctor Faustus' plan. Faustus was keeping track of his watch and when it got to the right time, he gave the subtle signal.

Then, Natasha barged in and fired several shots with her gun. The crowd panicked and ran away as Natasha leapt down like a ghost from thin air. "Perfect." Faustus said to himself. His plan was all set.

Natasha soon met with Laura who was in the corner. "You're coming with me." Natasha said.

"No!" Claire shouted but Fautus wasn't worried because he could tell from her eyes that she was still tranced.

That was how she was supposed to act. It was all part of the plan. Claire tried to stop Natasha but then the brainwashed Avenger used her pocket watch which further put Claire under her hypnosis.

Faustus then made his move and headed out, his escape going unnoticed because of all the "chaos" he had made behind him. A few minutes later, he was at a private airfield and Natasha, Claire, and Laura came, still tranced and Faustus was relived when he saw they had the bag of 2 million dollars for him.

His plan had worked and now they would be leaving for Sokovia.

The plane took off with Doctor Faustus, Natasha and the two sisters, away from the chaos that was happening in New York. Now Natasha was being sought by the police for having robbed that party and having kidnapped two high society girls.

Doctor Faustus' private jet was quite luxurious, having acquired it thanks to the numerous robberies committed using his pocket watch. The interior of the plane resembled a hotel room with sofas, a bar cabinet and all kinds of comforts.

Doctor Faustus was now sitting on a sofa in the center of the room and in front of him standing, with their arms outstretched and glassy eyes were Natasha, Claire and Laura awaiting his orders.

Doctor Faustus watched them in silence. "Well girls, we still have a long trip to Sokovia, but that doesn't mean the trip has to be boring." Doctor Faustus took out his pocket watch again and waved it in front of the girls' eyes, who began to follow him with their gaze. They were already hypnotized, but the doctor sought to deepen their trances.

"Look at the watch. You like being hypnotized. Being hypnotized is the best thing that ever happened to you." Faustus smiled as he saw Natasha and the other two girls nodding as they looked at the watch.

"You have a desire to show me how deeply hypnotized you are. In fact, right now you are competing to see which of the three of you is the most hypnotized. But only I can determine who is the most hypnotized of the three, so you are going to have a contest. You must think of and perform different ways to please me. If I please you, you earn points and the one with the most points will be considered the most hypnotized of the three."

As Natasha and the two girls received their next orders, they were sent even further into their entranced state. Even though the place had changed, they were still under the control of the watch.

They went to the backroom of the plane to see what was available and they only found the unicycles and the rope from the stage but for them, it was never a problem.

Soon, they started and it was Laura's turn. She gracefully sped throughout the room and even did some acrobatic moves, all without faltering.

Next up was Claire. She started off slow but then she gained more speed. Suddenly, she turned the unicycle so it was facing the wall of the plane and it zoomed all up along the side walls.

Lastly, it was Natasha's turn. For her part, she used her suit's grappling lines to make a long rope from the back wall of the plane to the front wall of the plane. Then she set her unicycle on it.

Faustus hid his amazement and he saw Natasha climb on her unicycle. Then she used the unicycle to ride the rope from one side and she zoomed to it in the blink of an eye before doing the same to get to the other side of the rope, all with perfect ease.

Faustus' eyes had not missed a single movement from Natasha and he knew instantly that she seemed to be one of the most talented.

After the end of the show, Natasha and the girls came down to rest and wait for the most points. Then Dr. Faustus gave Natasha the most points and everyone went to their rooms to rest. Faustus had had a good day today.
