I look towards Natasha, and remember she is still awake just paralyzed, I put a sleeping spell on her, cover her with a white sheet, transfigure the clothes to leave her body, basically make the clothes rip apart move away from her and come back together to how it was. then I make the sheet wrap around her body. The reason I did this was: One, there might be a tracker on her clothes so I took them off and put a spell that will jam it just in case, and Two, I am not desperate or scum enough to strip her with my hands and look at her when she is defenseless when I don't have to. I pick her up and open a portal to one of my personal safehouse, put her on the couch and cover her. I use a stronger sleep spell and spells that would stop her if she tries to escape or commit suicide.
I can't think properly right now, I need sleep, I will handle this later.
-(5 hours later)-
Once I wake up I can feel that I am a lot better, guess that fight took a lot more from me than I expected.
Now that stupid bonus quest, let's see what it's really about.
...
So the time is indefinite as long as I actively continue to try to get her to like me, which means I don't have to put a lot of work into it right now, worst case I will just buy back my stats, it will be a huge setback but that's what happens when you have a retard as a Patron. Plus it's such a cliche 2 spies from different sides falling in love.
Sighh I need food. Better wake her up as well, she can't do anything to me in the first place.
I release the sleep spell and wake her up, she is still pretending to sleep, well she is a spy don't know if there is even a different way for her to act, but something's still a bit off, I don't know what.
"Stop pretending to get up, we need to talk, oh and I made it so you can't attack me, so anything that you are planning is useless"
she opens her eyes sits up looks at me
"So that's who was under the hood, I know you. You are Grant Ward the traitor that escaped from Coulson a few months ago, you killed a lot of agents" I scoff at that, of course that's what they wrote in the report
" I was willing to fully cooperate in exchange for my freedom, Coulson acted on his grudge against me and send me off to get tortured and interrogated in some new high-tech military facility. I don't have to tell you how Shield does cover-ups do I?" I raise her an eyebrow
" No, so you escaped and became a wizard" fishing for information classic spy behavior, at least when she does its a lot more natural, If I didn't know she was a spy I wouldn't be able to tell
" Something like that, let's go to the kitchen, I don't know about you but I am starving" casually dodge the question
"So what are you planning to do to me, there must be a reason you kidnapped me?"
I stop for a second to think about how to I want to do this. To complete the mission she has to fall for me, and she is trained to tell when someone is lying to her. Actually, let's go with the truth, not like she can tell anyone after I put the spell on her. She will get to know me but can't tell anyone, I lose nothing here.
"Actually I just planned to take the scepter, everything else was for the entertainment of my Patron God" I say with a straight face, that's as true as it comes
"You expect me to believe you work for a God"
"Do not underestimate Gods and similar beings Natasha those are very real. They are not fake gods like the Thor and the Assguarians they are just a race that has a long life span. Beings like Death and Fate are very real, it is not smart to speak badly about them. The one I technically work for is an idiot, he makes my life miserable so he can entertain himself, but when I finish a task I get rewards." I explain
"So your life is like a drama for a God to watch and keep himself entertained?"
"Pretty much" I say as I take out food I previously stored from the inventory
"So what happens to me now?" she askes
"I put some spells on you so you don't talk about me and let you go, you were a 'prank' meant for me in a way. But before that I will run some diagnostic spells on you for a bit, somethings been bothering me about you"
"What do you mean?" she suddenly perks up, I say nothing as magic symbols and circles start forming and rotating around her, and when the spell finished I got my answer
Damn, this is not funny. Aside from the fact that they removed her ovaries and uterus removed from when she was in the RedRoom, she is still partly brainwashed, which may actually explain her loyalty to Shield, they supposedly saved her from the Red Room, but I always thought they were hidden partners with the RedRoom, perfect spies raised from a young age.
Maybe Fate has a hand in this, 2 spies that were brainwashed on different sides now meet in a situation that neither wanted or expected. Great now another being is messing with my life. I/Ward undid the brainwashing by banging my/his head into the wall, she somehow undid hers halfway.
"There is no other way to say this, you're still partly brainwashed, some of the commands they put in you, your behavior, things like that."
She denies "Shield told me the brainwashing was cleared, that my apathy was because of the trauma I suffered there" it's sad that she actually believes that, it's like looking into a mirror, that's what Ward was like, and since I have his memories it affects me a little
"That is partially true, but did you think Shield the spy organization will let you, numb down your usefulness, currently you are the perfect spy, you follow every order given to you, you just changed your loyalty from the RedRoom to Shield. Focus on your memories from childhood till now, after you are done, I will completely undo the brainwashing, things should get clearer, certain actions you did will start to make sense" she seems skeptical but not like she has any choice so she does it, then I start to use mind spells to carefully get rid of the brainwashing
