After leaving the place, we knew it was only a matter of time before someone noticed the corpse inside and the clients who ended up with severe mental retardation. Apparently, Lisa controlled them for a long time, but it's not like we cared at all. We decided to return to the Jeep while looking for a nice house where we could clean up and get dressed up. If someone were to say something about entering their house? They first have to talk to Lisa since her ability is too terrifying. While her destructive power is in doubt, no one doubts her versatility. There are very few with psychic energy that I can remember, so she can be as free as the air. After searching for a while a bit away from the center of Manhattan, we settled on a nice spacious house. Damn, if I didn't remember that I need to cause suffering to the world to become strong, I would get used to this comfort, you know [I said in my mind while watching Lisa whisper something to the owner of what seems to be her house].
[Ritzer] "Well, make yourselves comfortable in this temporary residence, a great battle awaits us so we need to be in our best condition [I said as I walked towards the bathroom to freshen up]"
[Goliath] "Well, you heard the Boss, sharpen your teeth for what's to come...[Said Goliath in a heavy tone as he went to get something to eat]
[Max] "It's not to be arrogant, but we are already strong enough; hell, just I alone am enough to take down those mediocre 'Superheroes,' right Lisa?" [He said while raising his head with arrogance]
[Lisa] "You know what the boss said, Max, you're not strong enough to be arrogant yet, I don't want you to be the first of us to die, but don't worry, with my beautiful voice, I'll save you [Said Lisa while carrying Max like a princess]"
[Leo] "and when you two are in trouble, idiots, I will save you [Said Leo while carrying both of them similarly]"
[Max and Lisa] "Haha, how 'safe' we feel, Leo [They said mockingly as they freed themselves]"
Hearing the conversations of his subordinates filtering into the bathroom, Ritzer just shook his head with a slight smile, caught up in the cheerful atmosphere, although it only lasted a moment until Ritzer turned on the cold water pouring over his face, while he concentrated on trying to predict the things that could happen today.
"While we are strong in the grand scheme of things, we are not strong enough to defeat a country. I need to create the greatest destruction and chaos in the shortest time possible. We can't stay in the eye of the hurricane for too long, I'm sure of that. It would be a problem if the X-Men came and kept us detained for too long. Although a strong shock of that magnitude would reach Magneto, who would be more than delighted to join the fun, which clearly benefits me. Joining the mutant brotherhood or the Hellfire Club would also be an option; it would save me a lot of unnecessary problems, and their concepts of widespread destruction would benefit me enormously. Now the issue to address would be who would show up. I'm sure Shield will arrive at the party, and Hydra will too. Maybe our whereabouts are being thoroughly tracked, which leaves me no choice but to join one of the two aforementioned clubs. Although if I manage to gather enough fragments to create those abilities, I'm sure I wouldn't need to do it anymore. Forget it, it's dangerous to think that everything will go well. I must prepare for the worst. [Sigh] "I still can't take a step in heaven because my feet are stuck here on earth" [I told myself while not letting expectations get to my head]. No matter what I have to do, I will survive no matter what stands in my way."
[Meanwhile, in a certain clothing store...]
[Phil Coulson: Director Fury, we have a critical situation at a clothing store in Manhattan. There are approximately 100 customers with motor disabilities and slow cognitive processes. None of them remember anything that happened. Inside the store, we found a brutally mutilated corpse. We have also found the security cameras intact and ready for the review of their recording for your inspection. The recording has been classified as high-level and is ready for you to review personally. We need your authorization to proceed with the investigation and secure the area.
[Nick Fury: Understood, Coulson. You can proceed with sealing off the area and keep everyone safe. I will review the security footage immediately and inform you of the next course of action. Make sure no one enters or leaves until further notice.]
Phil Coulson: Understood, Director. Hawkeye and I will proceed to secure the area and keep everyone under control until we receive further orders. We will be alert to any changes and ready to act according to your instructions.
[At the SHIELD offices]
[Nick Fury: Now let's see what happened in that place. Could it be the work of some being with psychic abilities? —said Fury while reviewing the video. In the recording, five suspicious individuals who appeared to be mutants were seen. He watched as a girl, who didn't seem to be older than 19, took control of the people in the store. But he rewound the video to the moment when one of the individuals exploded, apparently provoked by an assistant, who was brutally murdered by the mutant.
Fury frowned as he analyzed every detail of the video. The situation was more serious than he had imagined. The clients, all with motor disabilities and slow thought processes, were the result of what appears to be a Mutant with Psychic abilities. The mutant girl had taken advantage of their vulnerability to take control of those people to avoid causing a commotion, as can be seen in the video.
[Nick Fury: Intelligence team, I need you to identify the mutants in the recording and provide me with all available information about them as soon as possible. I sense that this is just the beginning of what is to come...]
While Fury was giving the order, Hydra learned about the situation through their own intelligence channels. Upon investigation, they discovered that the mutants were prisoners who had escaped from one of their bases. Baron Wolfgang von Strucker, upon learning this, ordered their capture and directed his troops towards Manhattan, New York.
[Baron Wolfgang von Strucker: We cannot allow those mutants to escape. Capture them and bring them back. Direct the troops to New York, Manhattan, immediately.
Hydra, ever vigilant, had been monitoring any unusual activity. Upon discovering that the mutants were escaped prisoners from one of his facilities, Baron von Strucker wasted no time in mobilizing his forces. He knew that these mutants, if not controlled, could pose a significant threat to his plans.
[Baron Wolfgang von Strucker: These mutants have escaped from our base and must be recaptured. We cannot allow them to cause more chaos. I want a capture team in Manhattan immediately. Use all necessary resources to ensure their return.
The Hydra troops mobilized quickly, equipped with advanced technology and weapons specifically designed to neutralize the mutants. The mission was clear: recapture the fugitives and take them back to Hydra's facilities, where they would be subjected to stricter control, unaware that the Mutants they have information on are no longer as weak as they imagined.
