Marcus's POV
I was deep in thought, reflecting on Wanda's current situation her awakening powers, the delicate approach I'd need to take when Athena's voice interrupted my focus.
Athena: "Marcus, a giant lizard has been spotted in New York."
I froze for a moment, immediately knowing who it was. Curt Connors. But the real question hit me harder. 'How could this happen? Peter shouldn't have given the formula to Connors.'
I shook off the confusion. This wasn't the time to dwell on how it happened. I had to prioritize the immediate threat. A giant mutated lizard rampaging through New York wasn't something to be left unchecked.
Marcus (to Athena): "Prepare the jet. Tell me who is going in the response team."
Athena: "Transonic, Aardwolf, and Artie are going there as a response team."
Marcus : "Tell them not to eliminent him. Athena prepare a recording of this."
Athena complied quickly, and within minutes, they moved.
Inside the jet the team quickly suit up. The suit I had prepared for situations like this was sleek, durable, and equipped with everything. It was a wear standard protection suits made of graphene, a knockoff of vibranium. It wasn't as strong, but it would hold up against a single threat like Connors.
The live location of the Lizard appeared on the jet's display, streaming via satellite. The beast had been spotted near the Brooklyn Bridge. They cleared the civilians and then engaged with Connors during the battle Connors gave them more difficulties since they were asked to collect him alive. After a while Connors started exhausting and lost his form later and collected him and is being brought here.
I was actually worried about the casualties. Fortunately they were none and public property damage is something that had been kept minimal. So overall not a complete disaster. Athena showed me a news report.
Breaking News: Mutant Battle Erupts on Brooklyn Bridge
In a shocking turn of events, a fierce battle between mutants broke out on the iconic Brooklyn Bridge earlier today. Eyewitnesses report seeing several individuals with extraordinary abilities clashing in a chaotic scene that left significant damage to the bridge and surrounding areas.
News reporters on the scene have been quick to blame the mutants for the extensive destruction. "The damage is unprecedented," one reporter stated. "The bridge has sustained severe structural harm, and the surrounding area is littered with debris. This incident has caused major traffic disruptions and raised serious safety concerns."
Authorities are urging the public to avoid the area as emergency services work to secure the bridge and assess the full extent of the damage. The motives behind the conflict remain unclear, and investigations are ongoing.
As of now, there have been no official reports of casualties. Emergency services are on the scene, and they are prioritizing the safety of everyone involved. Authorities are urging people to stay clear of the area to allow first responders to do their work effectively.
The exact cause of the mutant battle on the Brooklyn Bridge is still under investigation. However, initial reports suggest that the conflict may have been sparked by a disagreement between two rival mutant factions. The details are still emerging, and authorities are working to piece together the events that led to this dramatic confrontation.
The news reports are mostly the same everywhere and that is what I expected I had athena make a recording of the incident through the camera on the suit and publish this video through secret networks and then it will come on internet. I had asked them to act professionally to handle this threat.
Athena had been tasked to promote the metahumans and coin the term more often and bring a positive reviews on Meta-humans and use the video footage to show them of how we handle things, but it will be difficult since people fear mutants. I am planning to change people view as much as possible and not make them target Metahumans.
Athena noticed my worried look and said
Athena: "Marcus everything will be executed as planned. Metahumans will be brought in positive light and people views will change slowly. There is nothing to worry about."
Marcus: "Yes, I know that and knowing you are executing the plan then I am not worried about it. But there are people who will try to create problem and they are not the main problem here. Now, the people will know that a Metahuman have advanced technology and it will create a panic in the hearts of people with high authority fear there safety."
Marcus (Thinking): 'And a one eye Pirate is trying to find the truth of all this. Which is the main reason and the high authority of SHIELD is going to support him which problematic. Fortunately finding the base won't be easy and it is necessary to speed up the building of other bases as soon as possible because he won't quit until he finds us.'
Nick Fury's POV
Nick Fury: "Coulson, did you find out who's behind this?"
Coulson: "No, sir. We haven't identified the leader yet. But we've gathered data on some of the individuals involved goes by the names Transonic, Aardwolf, and Artie. Here's what we have so far."
I took the report and started skimming through it. While reading, an agent interrupted with new intel a video of the incident had surfaced. I watched it carefully, analyzing every second. Their movements were professional, coordinated, and far too advanced for a rogue operation. These people had access to technology that had gone undetected by SHIELD, which only made one thing clear: whoever's behind this is a serious threat.
The realization struck me hard someone is not only training mutants but giving them access to advanced tech. And worse, they're operating outside my radar. This wasn't a bunch of random powered individuals; this was an organized team. That's what worries me. That's what terrifies me.
Nick Fury (thinking): 'Whoever they are, they need to be under SHIELD's control. We can't have this level of power and technology in unknown hands.'
I'm not about to let someone else have this kind of firepower. They need to be neutralized, their tech confiscated, and their operation dismantled. If SHIELD doesn't take control, who will? Only SHIELD has the means to contain this kind of power for the betterment of humanity, no less.
People call me paranoid. They think I'm overreacting. But they don't know the full picture. They don't know what's out there the aliens, the threats lurking beyond this planet. SHIELD is humanity's only line of defense, and I'll be damned if I let some unknown force jeopardize that.
Nick Fury: "Coulson, find them all of them. And when you do, they're coming in. All of them."
{Author- Yeah sure. It is not like your organisation is compromised or anything and who made you the saviour of humanity. That is my view but do comment below on views that whether Fury involvement in every matter is needed or not.}
