Natasha POV.
'Everytime I caught onto her tail, she always managed to run away. Not this time. Not anymore. This ends now. '
She swiped her claws at me, but I slid through her legs and kicked the back of her knee, making her kneel down. However, my boots melted almost instantly as her poison corroded it.
My bare right leg was almost grabbed by Ophelia, but I jumped backward a few times to avoid her attack.
"You Bitch. Does it feel nice to know that you're the only one for him?" Ophelia said. "News Flash. He is dating more than 30 women right now. Do you still feel special?"
She tried to instigate me, but all she did was make me fall more in love with him.
A rare smile escaped my lips, "He is in love with ALL of them?"
"You KNOW THEM?" Ophelia screamed in horror as she couldn't imagine what kind of life Kai was having with all the members of his harem knowing one another.
'Of course I do. All of them are me.' Natasha gloated inwardly.
"STOP SMILING!" Ophelia said, her beautiful brown eyes transformed into two pairs of snake slits, so did her tongue, which became a forked tongue of a snake. Her lower half started to change into a snake's body as she grew from her normal height of 1.7 metre into 5 metres long.
"Hisss. You need to die. So that I can live. Please die here. I still need to hunt 30 more whores after this." Ophelia said, her voice carried a trace of demonic presence and poison mist spewed out from her mouth.
Even after knowing that Kai was in love with more than 30 women, Ophelia's obsession with him didn't change. Instead, it grew.
"This is… quite bad." I said as I realised that Ophelia had lost her rationality. She was now more of a monster than a human.
The Basilisk had taken over Ophelia's body to complete the contract between the woman and the demon.
"I will save you, lady!" Mikey ran toward the snake from afar, trying to help Natasha.
"Wait!" I screamed toward the cute teenage turtle, but he was faster than I thought. He arrived at Ophelia's back. He swung his nunchucks toward the snake's body. I guess he couldn't bear attacking a woman and attacked her monster parts instead.
"Ouch." Mikey flew to his side and crashed into the sewers wall after being swatted by Ophelia's tail.
"Oh Now You've Done IT!" Raphael said, taking out his twin Sai.
I know they mean well, but this wasn't their fight.
"Kids. Go outside the sewers. The poison mist will kill you." I said as I put on a translucent mobile oxygen mask on my face, covering my nose and my mouth.
Ryan surely came out with an interesting tech. I know for sure that he is the most intelligent man on the planet, but he always dismissed me and even laughed after I said that to him – he didn't believe my words in the slightest, and that irked me.
"Ralphy, let's go." Donny pulled Raphael back and Leonardo went to get Mikey. As Natasha said, the poison concentration in the area had increased, and was already lethal for the turtles nearby.
"That…Urhh…Sexy… lady?" Mikey asked while groaning in pain as he was carried by Leo.
"She will be fine." Master Splinter suddenly appeared out of the shadows. He stared at the giant snake for a few seconds before he went to help Mikey in retreating.
"Donny. Can we isolate the area? Otherwise the poison will spread into the city." Leonardo asked as he sent Mikey to Raphael.
Mikey moaned in pain a few more times before Raphael 'tapped' his head. "Stop that."
"I think I can." Donny replied. "But I need some help." The turtles looked at one another before they all nodded at the same time.
Back to the battle, the sewer area became constricted as the demon's body kept growing.
Taking out a 3 part baton stuck to my belt, I combined it together to create one long staff. Twisting the staff body in the opposite direction, an intense electrical bolt gathered on the tip of the staff together with a bladed edge.
The electrical current crackled as I pointed the blade edge toward the giant snake. "I feel like a person in ancient times. Fighting a snake using a spear."
"DIE. DIE. DIE. HISSSS." Ophelia lunged toward Natasha with her now giant body. She opened her mouth wide, trying to swallow me whole. I jumped upward and kicked the snake's head to propel myself even higher. Then, using the inertia from falling back down, I stabbed the spear at the snake's lower back.
"ARGHH!" The electrical current flowed all over her wet body from the sewer water, burning Ophelia in its entirety.
She swatted her tail toward me, and I couldn't avoid it.
BAM
I was thrown to the walls. However, I suffered no injuries.
'Super Durability. The compound V serum is awesome. If all of the Avenger members got it, I guess there would be no one in the world that could stop us.'
It was a secret wish of mine that we could change the world without any sacrifice. It's naive thinking, especially from an ex-assassin.
But who in the world would want their family to suffer if they could do something about it? Or, if I could take their place.
"He can be in love with more than 30 women, but couldn't spare a place in his heart for me? That fucking man-whore." The snake hisses in contempt.
"Ha-Choo." Kai, who was in his clinic at that time, sneezed. "Who the hell dares to talk bad about me?"
"KILL YOU. Hiss. Take Him…" The snake Ophelia muttered obsessively as she slithered toward me. I stepped forward from the dent in the wall I was thrown into. Then, I found out that the back of the suit had melted. Not only my suit, the walls around the area have started to melt.
"The Poison Mist." I came to the realisation. I need to end this soon, otherwise, even with the oxygen mask, I won't be able to survive the poison mist. Holes appeared on various parts of my black, leather suit.
"Kai would love this." I said as I know how lewd I looked right now. My belly button was showing, and also my thighs.
"I wonder how Skye is faring."
I hoped that Skye would bring the monks just a little bit later. I needed the time to vent my frustration on the snake first.
…
3rd Person Pov.
"Can't you guys move any quicker?" Skye said in frustration as she led the group of monks toward Natasha's location.
Wong explained, "We are to walk with the footstep of a man going to his school, neither dilly-dallying or with haste. That's what was ordered of us."
"Ordered? By who?"
"By the Ancient one."
Flabbergasted, Skye tried to object and drag the monks to the location, but then she accidentally inhaled a cloud of poison mist.
"Everyone. *Cough* Put on your oxygen mask."
Luckily, it was only a thin concentration of a poison mist that only caused her to cough for a few minutes. The monks all carried the same translucent oxygen mask that Ryan had made, given by Skye before the expedition.
"Skye. That's not your true name. Have you found your ancestry yet?" Wong asked as Skye was of the same race as him.
"Ancestry? You mean my parents?" Skye asked in defeat, no longer did she try to change the monk's mind from their stroll.
"Yes. You have a great power inside of you, waiting to be unleashed. The longer you keep pushing away finding your ancestors, the more regret you would accumulate inside."
Wong had learned from the Ancient One on how to speak in cryptic sentences, making Skye frustrated by his words.
"Can't you just say it to me straight? Why did I need to find my parents now? Are they even alive?"
"I didn't know. I am only conveying my master's words to you." Wong said.
Skye was silent for a while, but then she shook her head and decided to focus on the current situation more.
…
Natasha POV.
'Some of the guys Ophelia had killed were trained by me before.'
I jumped toward the side to dodge the snake's massive body, and I stuck the spear inside her mouth when she tried to attack me.
'A few naive kids, who wanted to make the world a better place.'
'I lied when I said to Ryan one of my bodies was vacationing before. She was not. All of us…me…were working hard to help him, albeit a little.'
'A few of me are running toward my location to help. I just need to buy some time for them to come.'
'Even Kai didn't know about my lie. I wonder how he would feel when he knows.'
"Hey Ophelia." I called it the incarnation of jealousy.
"You might feel that it's unfair. The thought of me and Kai might make you go crazy."
My words made the snake calm down a bit. She stared at me to know what my next word was.
"But you need to understand it. Maybe you're not just as pretty as me." I said haughtily, making the snake shriek in rage. But I no longer have any fear. As my backups were already here.
The snake widened her eyes as she realized that all 30 lovers that Kai has were from the same person!
"NO. THIS IS UNTRUE! RELEASE ME! THE CONTRACT IS NOW VOID!" Ophelia screamed with all of her might, but the snake demon had already taken over her entire being.
Set, the Elder God stared at the Basilisk in contempt. Then, a smile escaped his lips as snakes were more obedient than Ophelia – his child, and could bring Opelia's body to Japan for the Yamata-No-Orochi ritual.
…
3rd person POV.
A few of a similarly dressed group of women ran inside the New York sewer with a terrifying speed, and they finally arrived at the battle scene.
Without even talking to one another as they have a hive mind, the women kicked, punched, electrocuted, tied up, and beat the shit out of the giant snake.
"Finally." Although the snake demon was strong, it couldn't contend with the onslaught of 10 black widows.
Slowly, it had entered the black widows web, and could no longer move. The initial Natasha, the ones with her clothes melted in various parts, walked toward the restrained giant snake.
Then, she sat down in front of the snake demon head and patted it softly. The other 10 Natasha were encircling the snake demon with their spear ready.
"I am sorry that he rejected you. Why should he pick you in the first place? Let go of your obsession and move on to the other side peacefully."
After getting stronger, Natasha now understands why people like Kai and Thor could forgive others who had wronged them. Their strength makes them secure and they know they could survive anything the enemy would throw toward them in the future.
Before this, Natasha was just an ordinary human who had honed her skills to the extremes, until she finally took her place among the Avengers team. She had to walk among the giants, and always felt she was a burden among them.
Suddenly, Natasha felt a sudden gust of wind flowing intensely in the sewer. It picked up the poisonous mist all around her and carried it deeper into the waterways.
"Donny. Are you sure about this?" Leonardo asked. Donny had overloaded the sewer fan to push all the poison mist into the waterways.
"Trust me." Donny said as he continued pushing the buttons on his laptop. Mikey and Raphael climbed into the sewer roof and held a giant fan facing a water stream.
"Ughhh- How much longer!!!" Mikey yelled as the fan was really heavy for him. "Hmph. Weakling." Raphael pursed his lips in dissatisfaction. His hand holding the fan was shaking, but no one noticed it.
"10 seconds till it's here." Leonardo started the countdown. Then, a greenish poison mist arrived at the destination. The ceiling fan was started, pushing all the mist that had been flowing horizontally downwards into the water.
"Holy SHIT. IT WORKED!" Mikey said excitedly.
"I was doubtful at first. But it does work." Raphael said with a rare smile.
"Me too." Donny said, causing everyone to stare at him in astonishment. He got flustered and automatically defended himself, "It-it's not like I can run a simulation before this. The fan is so old I am not sure that they even work."
Master Splinter suddenly appeared from the shadow and patted Donny's shoulder. "You did well."
At the area of the battle, Natasha smirked as she realised who was the one who had helped in clearing the poison.
"Those kids are good. Ryan really does have a good eye on people."
"Kill…Natasha…Kill…." The snake muttered as Ophelia's upper torso crawled out from the snake's head and tried to strangle the sitting Natasha. All the other Natasha's thrusted their spears toward the snake's body, wanting to finish the battle.
But then, the giant snake suddenly disappeared. Unknown to Natasha, she was unmoving for about 5 seconds as the time had stopped around her.
"WHAT!" Natasha exclaimed, and quickly put her guards up.
"It's okay. She is no longer here. I have waited until you vented your anger, but I couldn't let you kill her. It will unleash something dangerous into the world if you do so."
A bald woman wearing monk clothes appeared in front of Natasha and she started to examine her duplicates.
"What a peculiar set of abilities." The Ancient One touched the solar plexus of one of her duplicates. Instantly, the duplication disappeared!
" I see. Your soul is still kept in the main body."
"Who are you?" Natasha asked in a shaky voice. It was the first time for her duplicate to disappear, and it raised some alarm inside her head.
"I am called the Sorcerer Supreme. The other Sorcerers called me the Ancient One. But you may call me granny. That's what Ryan and Gwen calls me."
Natasha's vigilance melted a bit, but she still put her guard up against the incomprehensible existence in front of her.
"You've changed. A lot." The Ancient One said in a slight surprise.
"What do you mean?"
"Your fate I mean. He really took good care of all of you. I'm glad." the Ancient One said ambiguous and flashed a slight smile.
"Don't you want to know where the snake went?"
Natasha raised her brows, feeling a little iffy as she stood in front of the bald woman. She felt that she was reading her entire existence to define her.
"I do. But will you answer me?" Natasha said a bit instigatively. The other hers retreated from the area, leaving the initial Natasha left to confront the woman. It wasn't that the others were running away, but they had gone into 10 different directions to tempt the woman.
If she was hostile, she wouldn't let them go and chase her, but the Ancient one wasn't hostile. She wouldn't even be there if she didn't need to talk about Kai and Ryan in hope that one day when the time arrived, Natasha could be there for them.
She already had the talk with Gwen, and she assumed Hela would know what to do when the time arrived.
"Come. Let me show you." The Ancient One opened up a portal to Kamar Taj and invited Natasha into the sanctum. In front of them, a small wooden box with chains and locked on its outside could be seen.
"She is here. Waiting for the time until Ryan had grown enough." The Ancient One explained.
"Grow? You mean putting yet another heavy responsibility on his shoulder?"
The Ancient one flipped her hand, and the room changed to a tea room. "Sit down. There is much that we need to talk about." The Ancient One sat down on a chair and invited Natasha to join her. Albeit reluctant, Natasha sat opposing the Sorcerer Supreme and started their conversation.
(A/N: For those who didn't remember, Ophelia is the avatar of Set – one of the Elder Gods. If she was killed, the Set would have ways to descend to the world.)
Wong and Skye finally arrived at the scene of the battle, but the battle had already finished. "Prepare to clean up the demonic poison here. Otherwise, it would infect other creatures and create abominations in the sewer." Wong said to the apprentices.
Skye almost stumbled and fell to the floor. "YOU'RE THE CLEAN UP CREW!"
Wong smiled brightly. "Yes. We are."
A few hours after the battle, the sun rose up in New York as a new day had started. Another group of cleaners had arrived at Skye's location and regrouped with her.
"Natasha had already left?" Phil Coulson asked.
"Yes. Even Viper's threat is gone. Ryan– Mr. Knight already confirmed it." Skye reported. The Ancient One had sent Natasha directly into Ryan's base where he was met with weird looks by the black widow.
"You can call him Ryan, you know. After all, you're very close to him." Coulson teases.
"I will call him Ryan when you can call Fury by Nick."
That retort seemed to shut Coulson's up and they finished up the works there without any obstruction.
By Master Splinter's request, the turtle's existence won't be known for anyone other than Skye and Natasha. The battle showed Master Splinter that the kids were still inexperienced, and he'd like to train them more before they could be ready.
Entering the Bus – a mobile jet air base that was given to Phil, Skye sat down and thought about what Wong had conveyed to her.
"Where are we going now?" Jenna Simmons asked.
"There is some disturbance at Saint Hopkins, a hospital in Texas." Fitz said, wanting to do a simple mission this time.
"Let's go." Phil Coulson announced to the crew – unaware that they were on route to meet Dr. Calvin Zebo, or otherwise known to SHIELD as Mr Hyde. Even if Skye tried to run away, fate had played a trick on her.
Thus begins Skye's mission to track down her own biological father that she wanted to meet all of her life, and finally learns of her true identity.
Although most of the New Yorkers just started to plan their day, inside the Avengers tower, a group of solemn people walked toward the Avengers Jet in their respective combat suits.
"Let's Go. To Sokovia." Tony ordered the AI inside the Avengers Jet. It's time for them to destroy both Zemo and Strucker.
