Elena, a double agent for the Hand, stood with her arms at her sides, trying to maintain a calm exterior. "Stay calm," she thought. "He can't know. Just stick to the plan." She watched Henry intently, her mind racing through contingencies. Her eyes flickered with calculated resolve, betraying nothing of her internal turmoil.
Henry paused briefly, his gaze locking with Elena's. He could see the wheels turning in her head, planning her next move. He moved on, filing the information away for later use. The cold light glinted off her determined eyes, adding to the intensity of the moment.

Chapter 78
Tom, an undercover government agent, stood with his hands in his pockets, trying to look relaxed. "This is intense," he thought. "If he knows... no, they said he's smart, but not invincible. Keep it together." He forced a casual smile, hoping to mask his nerves. His foot tapped lightly on the floor, a subtle sign of his tension.
Henry's eyes caught Tom's forced smile, and he noted the agent's attempt to appear calm. He continued his walk, each step measured and deliberate. The silence was almost oppressive, making Tom's forced nonchalance even more noticeable.
Julia, a loyal but ambitious subordinate, stood straight and tall, eager for any opportunity to prove herself. "What's going on?" she wondered. "Maybe this is my chance to move up. Just show him that I'm capable." Her eyes sparkled with determination as she watched Henry. Her posture was perfect, almost rigid with anticipation.
Henry appreciated Julia's eagerness, sensing her loyalty. He made a mental note of her ambition, knowing she could be a valuable asset and if her ambition get too big, then it would be best to stomb it. He continued his slow walk, the subtle creak of the floorboards punctuating the silence.
Mark, a simple enforcer with a one-track mind, stared blankly ahead, his thoughts drifting. "I wonder what's for dinner," he mused. "Hope it's something good." He scratched his head absentmindedly, clearly not the brightest of the bunch. His relaxed posture stood in stark contrast to the others.
Henry smirked at Mark's simplicity. The man was useful in his own way, but hardly a threat. He continued his slow, deliberate pace, feeling the tension build in the room.
Henry stopped in front of them, his gaze sharp and penetrating. "Do you all know why I called you here, specifically?" he asked, his voice cutting through the silence. The group exchanged confused glances, unsure of the answer.
Henry sighed, not out of anger but out of calculated patience. "It's simple. I am changing things from now on."
They all looked even more puzzled. Henry smiled slightly. "We're going to be implementing some new protocols and structures to streamline our operations."
The realization struck them, and their thoughts became a chaotic mix of relief, fear, and curiosity. Henry could sense their shifting emotions, knowing that his plan was already taking root. He would turn these double agents into instruments of his own design, using their fear and ambition to his advantage.

Back in his hideout, Henry used the alchemical flame to burn his materials, preparing them. He was using the essence of blood extracted from Killgrave as well as his own essence of will. Yes, even that can be extracted, it was very painful but mixing any of his essence to anything made that thing accessible only to him . He then started to concoct a particular potion, which he succeeded in creating. It was a potion, a particular potion he had the idea to create just after finding out how many moles were in his ranks.
[ Name: Henry's Psionic Elixir ]
[ Grade: 5th ]
[ Description: A powerful mind control potion crafted from the essence of psionically charged blood extracted from Killgrave, combined with a fragment of Henry Will's essence. Anyone who consumes this potion will be under Henry Will's control, provided their willpower is weaker than his for 50 minutes]
[ Effects: +150% effectiveness in mind control, +150% duration of mind control, +150% influence over the controlled individual's actions, +150% amplification of Henry Will's commands, +150% enhancement of psionic influence ]
[ Deterioration-Rate: 0% ]
With that, he left his hideout, finding the moles for Hydra, SHIELD, the government, Fisk, and the Hand, giving them the potion, which was then turned into pills. This in turn made them his loyal agents. "Hm, I should mass produce this," he thought after seeing the effect. Then he teleported back to his actual hideout before he got a couple of things ready.
-scene change-
It was in the middle of the night in Wisconsin, inside a football field in a high school. There were familiar people: Coulson, surrounded by what looked like a man who escaped a mental hospital, with a burned scar on his neck, as well as Skye's father, a middle-aged white man with crazy thin brown hair. He was called Calvin Johnson. There was also a short but buff man. Behind Coulson was May, who had a gun on Skye's head said, "We put her on the index, now we decide, either contain her or put her down," May threatened, only for Henry's voice to sound behind her.
"Oh please, you will never kill her " he said as they all turned towards Henry, who casually walked towards them.
"Henry, you have changed, is it the hair?" Coulson asked as Henry remained calm and composed.
"Agent Coulson, or right, it's Director now," he said as he casually walked up to them. "Got an upgrade, what about you?" coulson asked, to which Henry didn't feel the need to entertain.
"Agent May," he greeted, but May didn't seem amused.
"You stood me up, Henry, that is not a good idea," May said with a threatening tone.
"Maybe if you stop putting trackers on my vehicles, then we could have a nice exchange," he said, still remaining calm and composed, which surprised Coulson and May, who knew him.

A/N: Another chapter! I'm not busy; I'm actually spending time with my favorite person. Not a significant other—like you guys, I'm maidenless—but at least you guys get an update. Anyway, I'm finally free from my Harry Potter fanfic addiction. I still have to watch season 3 of *Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.*, then *Iron Fist*, and then *Civil War*, so wish me luck! I want to watch all the way through to the *Doctor Strange* movie and finish this middle part of the story, which is going on longer than I would like.
PS: i think henry has crush on may, i don't know, but i think that is the case, not canon tho
