Sorry for the late chap. For those that don't know, I'm working the second shift this week. From 10 am to about 7 pm. So I'm home at 8pm roughly. Some shit has been going on when I get back from work so I haven't rly had the time to write, but hey at least I'm getting a night of good sleep, haven't felt this rested in a long time. I'll see what I can do tonight, hopefully, I'll write a lot. Oh I'm working on Saturday too, so heads up I guess.
Well I'm off to eat. Do some work around the apartment then start writing. Proofreading and posting this a few minutes after I got home.
Finished the Stats chap on pat reon, now it's the Unboxing chap. I used some ideas from the comments so please put down whatever, I might use it, coz I'm honestly running out of shit to put in.
Oh and this son of a bitch has been getting lucky again. I'm going to ignore a few and make them weaker. I always planned to give him the weaker option and did the randomizer out of pure curiosity. This bitch got the highest one... AGAIN. Nope, not happening this time. The plot has been destroyed too many times already because of his retarded Real Life Plot Armor.
I'll put in a note that says what was randomized and what I decided.

Grant don't bully the little guys, Look at the poor thing, you scared it half to death." she says while helping the Magikarp wake-up
"Sure how poor and helpless.. this thing can grow up to be a 7-meter water serpent that can sink boats" I dryly say. That thing is no joke when it evolves, at least to normal people. If it attacked me I would fillet it and grill it
The fish wakes up.
"This little guy will be a 7-meter sea monster? Good for you lil fella, I'm looking forward to seeing you grow up" She starts petting the fish inside the water bubble making the little guy gurgle in happiness
"You are petting a fish.." Do normal people pet fishes?
"Yeah his scales have a really interesting texture" Nat says with a small smile on her face.
The twerps see that I'm not chasing them anymore so they slowly came back and hid behind Nat. Freaking wimps, and they are supposed to be the monsters. Well as long as Nat is happy I guess it's fine. Being surrounded by cute animals is definitely a new experience, one she didn't even have a chance to enjoy as a child.
"So what's your plan now?" Nat asks me while having a group hug with the Pokémon's
I scratch my chin "Well since your sister kinda ruined the mood, and you are obviously having fun hanging out with them" I point at them having a group hug and take a quick photo using my super speed. These moments shall not be forgotten
"You are right, I want to spend some time with the little ones. I don't know why, but I'm strangely attached to them"
Hmmm weird, it has barely been an hour since she got to meet them. It's probably some Pokémon bullshit about friendship and bonds.
"Don't worry about it, they probably want to spend some time with you too and are sending their emotions in their own special way"
"Well if you say so. What will you do?" Nat asks me while rubbing Squirtle's head. Okay does she have some sort of animal blessing? Is she turning into a Disney princess?
"Hmmm, I think I'm going to wrap up the Hydra bases that are in the US and start on the overseas bases. I should get a clue about The Mandarin from at least one of the US bases. If not, the Hydra Head that is stationed in China should know a thing or two."
She raises an eyebrow "How many have you destroyed and how many are left in the US?"
"I think I blew up a150 or something and there are about 200 left" Yea that looks accurate
"350 bases in the US alone?!" Well SHIELD really had no idea what these guys were doing in the first place, so her reactions are spot on.
"I say bases but everything counts in that, as long as a few people are handling it counts as a base. Most of those 350 were warehouses with HYDRA agents smuggling something or hiding some stolen merchandise "
"Oh.." she thinks about it for a while "Yeah that number sounds accurate, I know Shield has knowledge of 150 or give or take a 5, bases in the US"
"Yep so I'm going to blow them up, and start preparations for our date tomorrow" I say smugly
"From now? You can make things with the snap of your fingers, what kind of preparations would require you to start making them now?" Nat looks at me with eyes that scream our curiosity
"Nope, you will have to wait for tomorrow to find out" I ain't budging, this date is going to be perfect
"Fine... I'm really looking forward to it." Nat gives me a bright smile, that honestly makes her look that much gorgeous
I just go ahead and give her a deep kiss. After a few minutes only when we were running out of breath did we separate
"What was that for?" Nat asks with a dazed look on her face
I just smile gently "For just being you"
"It seems that I shouldn't be the only one looking forward to what's going to happen tomorrow?" Nat says in a sultry tone
"Oh, you aren't I have been looking forward to this for a long time." I say back at her near her ear
"Okay okay, you can go, even if we want to both of us know that we can't do it right now"
Sigh, she is right, well at least I tried to fix the mood. Thanks a lot Yelena
"I'll see you soon" with one last kiss I open a portal and leave Nat to bond with the twerps

Speed Run Time
Up until now, I have been slowly optimizing the way I clear out bases. But it has been in a very lazy way. Using 'Harvest', and all the other abilities, or just straight up bombing them
Now I will do it in person but with super speed.
Step 1. Use 'Clairvoyance' to find the loot and the Boss of the Base.
Step 2. Dash in a straight line, grab the loot, dash to the boss. read his memories.
Step 3. Use any ability I like to finish off the base. Which means fire, ice, bomb, etcetera.
This will be a tryhard speed run to clear out the US, the region where hydra has the most bases compared to the rest of the World.
After that, I will hit the rest, which has a lot less than the US. China and Europe combined have less Hydra bases then the US, and the other parts of the world barely have them in the double digits.
So clearing it up won't take as long. It's been like a week since I got the mission anyway. I have 3 more to clear up the world. So I have plenty of time. But the US will be Hydra free by the end of the day.
Let's wrap this up
