[January of 2012]
[°New York City°]
3rd Person P.O.V
Night came as most of the news channels all in US and even some in other countries are talking about the battle between the four mutants and the soldiers and all kinds of discussions are happening real time regarding it.
Most leaders of the world couldn't help but began talking about the real threat that mutants have on normal folks as those who didn't really favor the latter began fanning the flames as discussions regarding this began to get bigger and bigger
The X-Men of the X-Mansion which was ready to depart that morning to "deal" with the situation didn't managed to leave as they saw that the battle was already finished in the news.
The Brotherhood of Mutants who were all also watching the news was getting excited with the prospect of another strong group of mutants who seems to see the reality of the world and shared their worldview.
Magneto smirked as he looked at the four who decimated the whole battalions of soldiers and the leader which he immediately deduced as Andrew even had the guts to talk to the national television and threatened the one who sent those soldiers.
Magneto have come to the conclusion that – hearing what Andrew mentioned – someone from high above in the government is the one who made the four come out as some kind of mutant terrorists and this just further increases his distaste for the corrupt government.
While most people was definitely against with the genocide that the four committed in broad daylight. There's still some who who stayed neutral or even supported them just like some internet joe's who began spreading clips of the fight scene that happened.
Numerous speculations began flooding the internet regarding on who was the one that the seemingly leader of the group was talking about and they all came to the conclusion that it is maybe someone high class. While some anti-mutant activists all countered this growing curiosity and flooded the comments with shit like "Mutants are nature's mistake" "genetic freaks" and etcetera.
And with this. A certain sentient bacteria took this chance to further instill more instinctive thoughts in the humans to further incite their fear towards mutants as it thought that its getting closer to its goal of controlling or eradicating the mutantkind.
S.H.I.E.L.D was also on this event at alert mode as the director himself instructed them to track down that leader of four mutants which he was sure was Andrew Detmer but as usual, they didn't managed to follow his trail as after talking to the news chopper, the group disappeared.
HYDRA was also doing their best to track down this group of mutants as they immediately recognized the four who brought them immense losses and temporarily made all their plans come to a halt which stressed them to no end as Alexander Pierce barked to them to do their job and find them for him.
—-—
While all of this was happening. Andrew, Illyana, John and Azazel was all flying towards one direction.
All their appearances are changed to an unknown faces as they land in front of a tower that has the logo of "Fisk Tower"
Andrew waved his hand and made all the security cameras around to turn to another direction as he looked around and deactivated the force-field around them seeing there's no people.
Andrew opened the double glass door as the three followed behind him silently. The former then spreads his sense around the building and stopped after "seeing" his target.
Andrew then began walking with his group and stopped in front of the elevator while waving his hand to stop the woman that was about to ask them what they needed and made her go back to her work using a simple use of his Telepathy.
The elevator opened as Andrew goes in followed by the three.
"So... What are we doing here?" John asked, not being able to endure the silence anymore.
"We're meeting the Kingpin of New York." Andrew simply replied.
Azazel raised an eyebrow at that, seemingly recognizing the title.
"You know this guy?" Illyana asked.
"Yeah, like his moniker, he's the kingpin of the criminal underworld, his name is Wilson Fisk. Shaw and him have made a few dealings here and there in the past, so that's how i know him." Azazel answered while rubbing his small beard.
"What's his powers?" John asked.
"He don't have, he's just a normal human with an abnormal physique that gave him a good strength."
"Oho? That's impressive, considering that he even managed to become the leader of the crime underworld."
The elevator opened as the four came out of it and they were greeted by a silent corridor.
Pew! Whoosh!
A silent bullet speed through, targeting the precise center forehead of Andrew. Unfortunately for the attacker, his target wasn't normal.
Andrew moved as his hand blurred and caught the bullet in his hand. The three behind him was alerted as they took a stance.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two more bullets came out of the dark corridor, targeting Andrew once again but he just caught it again as he opened his hand to let the bullets drop to the ground with a metallic sound.
There was a silence. After a few seconds, sounds of footsteps was heard as two people revealed themselves.
The first one is a normal looking man. He wears black combat suit and is holding a gun while a frown can be seen on his face.
The next one is a large man with pale corpse like skin, he is big and seems to be 2 meters tall and he sported an unusual white-colored hair and hairstyle.
Bullseye and Tombstone.
Bullseye narrowed his eyes at the four as he continued looking at them for a few seconds before speaking "Who are you three?"
Tombstone huffed as he punched his palm, ready for a battle.
Andrew stepped forward snd spoke "I want to talk with the Kingpin."
Bullseye and Tombstone who heard that suddenly took a stance as the former lifted his hand and was ready to fire again when a voice was heard from the room beside the two.
"That's enough. Let them in."
The two stopped as they looked at each other and then looked to the four. Bullseye then talked "Come."
Illyana, John and Azazel looked at Andrew and saw him nodding as the latter began moving as they followed.
Then they came face to face with the two as Tombstone opened the door.
Andrew and company walked inside as they were greeted by a large man that sat behind his desk while looking at them silently.
The man is bald and even though he's sitting, one can quickly deduce the fact that he's the same height as Tombstone but is much larger in width and weight.
Wilson Fisk: The Kingpin
Fisk looked at the group coming in followed by his two body guards as they closed the door while eyeing the group vigilantly.
Fisk made eye contact with Andrew and stared at him for a while and then spoke without breaking his gaze "I assume you four are the content of the news this whole day, right?"
Bullseye and Tombstone was caught by surprise and couldn't help but increase their vigilance as they already what thus four can do in the news.
Andrew was slightly impressed as a slight smile surfaced on his face "You are right, Fisk."
"What do you want by coming here?" Fisk was careful at choosing his words as he knows that he can't use laws against this seeing that he just decimated a whole battalion of army and his body guards would definitely not stand a chance against them.
"I have come to offer a deal that will benefit both parties." Andrew replied.
Illyana, John and Azazel stayed silent as they stood behind Andrew and just listened.
"And what is this deal, if i may ask?" Fisk asked with curiosity.
"I offer you power, real, tangible.. power." Andrew spoke like an extra-dimensional demon that takes lifeforms souls.
"And what's in it for you?" Fisk replied after hearing that.
"You just give us an identity that we can use to move freely without those pests trying to annoy us."
Fisk listened to his side and breathed a sigh of relief inwardly hearing that it's not over the top. He then suddenly stood up and stretched his hand out for a handshake "You got a deal."
Andrew smiled as stepped forward and took the hand calmly. Fisk expression suddenly took that of pain as he fell to his knees – breaking the table and his chair in the process – as he began grunting in pain.
"Let him go!" Bullseye immediately fired his gun that smashed Andrew's head without damaging him whatsoever as it just fell to the ground.
Illyana unleashes her soul sword as she prepared while a light blue fire appeared hovering above Pyro's palm. Azazel on the other hand just took out a knife.
"Calm down, guys. Your boss' just getting his deal." Andrew said without looking at them as he conjured a force-field around Bullseye and Tombstone and continued staring at Fisk.
Creak! Crack!
"ARRRGH!" Fisk issued a pained scream as his bones produced cracking sounds.
After a minutes of grunting and screaming in pain, Andrew let go of Fisk's hand as the guy dropped to the ground while panting heavily.
Illyana, John and Azazel looked down at the guy as he began raising himself weakly.
Fisk looked around for a bit and settled his gaze to Andrew who still sported that slight smile.
He felt strange as he looked down on his hand and clench it repeatedly, feeling a new kind of strength coursing through his veins.
He then took a breath as he stomped his feet casually to the hard ground. His feet slightly sinks as large spider web cracks spreads from it.
He then turned to Andrew and couldn't help but feel as if he can start trusting this young man and he can definitely reach his goals.
Andrew slightly smiled while putting suggestions inside Fisk's psyche. He doesn't want to outright manipulate his whole personality as he still can't do that and second is that he doesn't trust that kind of method as all things can happen in this universe.
Andrew inputted suggestions and ideas in Fisk's mind to make him more inclined to him and this would greatly lower his possibility of betraying him while also further increasing his greed for strength that he would start to do more what Andrew wants and needs just to acquire more strength.
Andrew finished as he then waves his hand and freed Bullseye and Tombstone from the force-field as the two immediately went to Fisk's side.
A rare smile then surfaced in Fisk's face as he looked at Andrew and said "Thank you. I'll immediately reach out to my contacts to process your request and expect a result in a day."
"Pleasure doing business." This time. Andrew reaches out his hand for a handshake.
Fisk took it after a bit of hesitation. Andrew slightly put a strength in his grip as Fisk also did the same. After a few moments, Fisk was already wincing so Andrew let go.
"Hmm, It's about two to three tonnes.. That should be enough for now. I'll increase it in the future if i need more things from you.." Andrew said as he turns around and was ready to go out.
Fisk nodded but then called out seeing him about to leave "Wait."
Andrew turns back to Fisk who continued and turned to Bullseye while saying "Guide them to their rooms.. Make sure you choose the VIP ones."
"Yes, sir." Bullseye nodded and then turned to Andrew and respectfully motioned them to follow them.
Andrew nodded as the three followed behind him and they got out of the room.
—-—
Andrew lays comfortably in separate room provided by Fisk as he can't help but think about his whole plan while he's here in this planet.
Though at first, he thought that he will just lie low while accumulating his strength and becoming the strongest while not even caring for anyone.
But now, through those countless raids that he and his group did for the past months, and now that the government knows that he's still alive, he couldn't help but think about about fighting the government itself for a reason other than the fact they are getting in his way.
And even though he won't admit it, he have come to like the fact that he's now a mutant and seeing those experimental facilities of HYDRA and Stryker brought him great distaste.
He then thought about his past actions where he would mercilessly kill all normal humans that opposes him while he would try to always spare mutants if they got in his way.
Hell. He even spared Azazel even when he found out that the red-skinned mutant has the motive to manipulate him in his mind.
Andrew sighs at that thought and noticed that he's way of thinking is beginning to be like those of Magneto who is fighting for the supremacy of the homo superior.
Andrew closed his eyes while snuggling comfortably in his blanket and just decided to let things flow unimpeded regarding his changing way of thinking.
