"Huff, should we go now?" Natasha inquired. She wore a thinly striped blue shirt alongside a black pencil skirt with a pair of specs resting on her face. Her hair tied into a ponytail which further consolidated the professional look she was gunning for. As a teacher, Natasha could only bring Nik aside after the classes were finished and she needed to bring him to Fury now that he was getting a seat in the expedition.
"Oh, and your vacation did cause a bit of commotion since you weren't playing by their rules," Natasha informed. To the redhead, rules meant very little. After all, as an agent of the Red Room, Natasha's need for rules was broken when Agent Clint and Agent Mary broke her out and finally helped her in gaining a chance to be an agent of the Shield. However, Natasha also knew a woman's incomprehensible nature and Maria had been rather doubtful of Nik for the past week.
Much of this doubt emerged from the fact that the two had stopped hooking up for quite some time.
Since Nik's ability to teleport was well-known, he, alongside Cindy and Natasha appeared within the Hellicarrier. "I'll be in the training room," Cindy stretched her arms slightly while Natasha nodded, "I'll meet you there after getting changed."
"There will be a few standard questions," Natasha looked towards Nik before pecking him, "Now, go to the control room, you remember the way, right? I've got to change."
"Oh, don't worry, I can wait," Nik grinned as Natasha smirked, "Now, I can't have my reputation questioned by being called as an agent who slept with an alien, right?"
"Alien?" Pickle slowly covered Nik as he inquired, "You mean like this?"
"Yeah."
"You wish!" Pickle hissed as her face detached from Nik's before she grew close to Natasha, "I won't let myself get sullied by your dirty body parts!"
"You know what, I should be going to meet with Fury after all," Nik chuckled wryly as Natasha glared at the white face of Pickle, "Yeah, you should!"
As Nik shifted out of Natasha's room, he appeared right next to Fury who looked over the operations of the Hellicarrier. Behind Fury stood Maria and she instantly shouted in surprise seeing a white monstrosity appearing behind Fury and took her gun out. Many were alerted but finally seeing the 'monster' the agents grew relaxed while out of all the agents, only Fury had calm breathing.
With a hint of metallic scent.
'Is this bot incapable of showing surprise?' Nik thought internally while 'Fury' faced Nik and nodded, "You're here."
'Maybe the bot just registered and couldn't respond quickly enough?' As Nik and Fury shook each other's hands, Nik confirmed that the current Fury was indeed another bot who looked extremely similar to a human being.
"Yeah," Nik smiled, "I heard my abilities are needed for the good of the world once again?"
Maria's expression turned strange while Fury smiled, "Something like that."
'I already understand the structure of this... Life Model Decoy, but to create one, I need proper tools, machinery, and most importantly, this strange metal which is only within the Hellicarrier but stealing it now would be an act of impatience and stupidity. The best moment would really be when Loki's army strike and distract the world for me.'
As Nik's mind worked and formulated a plan to achieve his goals, another agent walked behind Nik and called out.
"You must be Vanish. I still haven't thanked you for assisting me in escaping Loki's clutches."
Nik turned back and found a middle-aged agent. Someone who Nik was well familiar with.
"Agent Clint, please. Any friend of Natasha's is also mine to assist in any way possible."
Even though Nik's and Natasha's relationship wasn't well spread, many still knew and Clint was informed about it by Natasha herself.
After shaking hands with Clint, Nik turned to Maria and smiled, "Agent Hill," he nodded slightly professionally and she returned the courtesy before Fury interrupted. "Really, I just need to know a few things. How far can you teleport? And how many people can you carry?"
"Hmm, I never tried to teleport outside the planet so I don't know about that," Nik smiled, "But anywhere on the planet is possible to reach. And well, I think, I'm confident in teleporting a group of 60 people simultaneously, however..." Nik thought for a moment and glanced towards Maria with a smile forming under his visage, "But, there is one place I cannot teleport. It's Wakanda, Director. There's something strange there."
Fury controlled his urge to report the supposed weakness of Vanish to the real Nick Fury while Agent Clint nodded in understanding. Out of all of them, only Maria clenched her fists with her heart leaping in joy while Nik thought wryly.
'Might as well use this chance to confuse everyone. Hah, who knew lies about my weakness to make sex more pleasurable might just come in handy. Thanks a lot, Agent Hill.'
Nodding, Nick looked towards Clint, "Well, this was the most of it. We'll be leaving on the 19th if you don't have anything major planned."
"Nope, oh, is Ava here? I haven't talked to her in a while," Nik inquired while Clint nodded, "Today is training day. Everyone except... Thor, Iron Man, Luke, and Captain are here."
"I'll lead the way," Clint continued.
As the duo left the command center, Nik inquired, "How's Luke?"
"Healing. His condition is already stable but... none of us know when he'll wake up from his coma."
Pursing his lips slightly, Nik focused on the medical section of the Hellicarrier and found a Luke equipped with multiple equipments to keep him alive and well.
"Did you really hook up with Agent Hill?" Clint suddenly inquired as Nik looked towards him with a slightly astonished expression.
"Natasha should be an agent, right? How can she speak of world-ending secrets so casually!"
Hearing Nik's response, Clint chuckled and shook his head, "Natasha didn't. It was on Agent Hill's face. You know, one time, she was supposed to go on a field mission but it went extremely well, and only at that moment did I find such an expression."
"So, I'm the Field mission this time, huh," Nik stroked his chin while other agents passing the duo glanced at them with admiring gaze. One was a beast with the greatest shots ever and the other was a monster that practically took care of a flock of Iron Man suits that almost destroyed a good portion of New York.
After a few minutes of idle chatter, the duo finally arrived at the training facility and Clint led Nik to the viewing side of the room covered by one-sided glass that allowed Nik and Clint to watch how a group of 'Agents' under Natasha's lead tried to combat a parade of drones. Only Natasha, Daniel, Cindy, and Ava were present.
Looking at Daniel, Nik finally decided to include Ray on the side to plan against Kamar-Taj. Since he was going to rob a rather enigmatic force, he needed to do it right.
[Ray, how's your work on Strange going?] Nik inquired and he received an answer soon enough.
[Not good... maybe because he's a rank 6, but my racial abilities don't work well on him.]
[I'm going to send you a plan in three days. I have some interest in the force led by Strange and if it works out well, we will divide the loot. You'll get that rank 6 booty and I will get the information.]
[Hey!] Ray replied sourly, [First you ask for my blood then you present this kind of unfair deal!]
[Think about it,] Nik persuaded while the group of heroes continued to battle and destroy the drones, [Strange probably knows every bit of information and with him being the leader, he has the capability of producing more useful information and with him being a rank 6, you can find out a method to ascend yourself. And let's do it this way, we'll talk about the blood once we have successfully raided him.]
[Hmm, fine... three days, right?]
[Yep, oh, and if you can, as a favor to me, incite a few skirmishes between Hydra and the Hand.]
At this moment, a message interrupted both the Lust Fiends.
[Guys, I'm entering your atmosphere. Be sure to welcome me!]
It was Brian.
---
-- Preparing for shock--
A mechanical voice entered Brian's ears as he drove his space shuttle into Earth's atmosphere when his communicator picked signals trying to contact him.
[This is Shield Operative— Agent Fury. Identify yourself—]
Cutting off the communication, Brian slowly changed the direction and drove his shuttle towards a large body of water. The moment he contacted Nik, the young Lust Apostle instantly sent Brian a list of names containing people he should act warily against, and on the fourth number was Shield's Director— Nick Fury.
'Finally close to them. It's been a long time since—'
*Thud*
*Crash*
The back of his shuttle instantly trembled as Brian almost lost control. Instantly checking the condition of the ship, he found that the rear engine was damaged with two jets pursuing him at a quick pace.
"Hmm, let's see..."
Instantly, the space behind Brian warped and a humanoid fiend stepped out. Pitch black skin and eager red eyes that screamed of blood lit in excitement as the winged demon inquired with his gruff voice.
"Master."
"Krodh, we're already considered enemies so... just try to make this one quick."
"Yes," the beast grinned as his sharp fangs could strike fear in any ordinary fiend.
Instead of leaving through any opening, the beast, too, shifted out of the spaceship, showing an astounding spatial ability.
"Yeah, I did chose spatial abilities this time around," Brian chuckled and he shifted out of the spaceship, too, leaving the shuttle running on autopilot and letting it run on autopilot to attract more troubles.

Meanwhile, within the Hellicarrier, Clint was already called back urgently while Natasha walked out of the training facility alongside others.
"Look who's back," Daniel walked forward and smiled while removing his mask. On the other hand, Ava unzipped her mask, too while Cindy kept her scarf on.
"Hey, guys," Nik grinned as Natasha interrupted, "You three need to work on your teamwork. Anyway, I'll meet you in the apartment later, alright? I'm being called in the command center once again."
Nik nodded as Ava raised her eyebrow. If someone knew how many people Nik was sleeping with, it was surely Ava for she found that Nik's scent was quite persistent and stuck to the girls slightly even after days. Currently, Ava was still in denial that even a stern Agent like Maria Hill would choose to hook-up with Nik.
"Is there something on my face?" Nik inquired as he waggled his brows while facing Ava as she shook her head.
"Did Cindy tell you that our acquaintance, Black Cat, managed to slip past us?"
"Hmm?" Nik looked towards Cindy as her cheeks turned rosy in embarrassment. For one, with Ava being her close friend and partner, she found it rather embarrassing when Ava would talk in a suggestive manner that she was sleeping with Nik even when it was true, and secondly, she did let go of Black Cat due to an error from her side.
"She stole something from Strange's apartment and he couldn't follow her in time. He's busy with yet another situation and called for my assistance and I thought of bringing Ava and Cindy with me," Daniel replied.
"Black Cat stole something from Strange? The Supreme Sorcerer?" Nik inquired once again.
"Yep," Danny nodded with a wry smile.
"Hmm... and you guys won't know by any chance where she is right now?" Nik inquired as Ava's gaze flickered for a moment while the other two remained quiet.
"Hah," sighing, Nik shrugged, "Anyway, I stopped by here due to a few queries about an expedition."
"We heard," Ava nodded, "Good luck. That Netherion looks nasty."
"Really?" Nik furrowed, "Do you mean his name?"
"What? No. I mean his image."
A wave of satisfaction filled Nik when Ava continued, "Anyway, we're going to go on patrolling in another hour. Want to come with?"
"Hmm..." Stroking his chin, Nik's gaze bore into Ava, "And you will be fine with my way of doing things?"
He clearly referred to the time where Ava tried to rebuke Nik for 'accidentally' killing others but it ended with failure.
"No... but I hope that my way of doing things might just change you, too," Ava sighed in defeat as Nik nodded, "Sure. I'll tag along with you guys."

"Come on, if you like him, just go for it," After ending communication with Nik and Brian, Ray looked at Mj lazily who sat and continued to complete her assignments.
"He was... with Cindy, you know. I heard her clearly. She wanted to... in the bathroom stall..." Mj mumbled, her mood turning sour every time she recalled the events in the theatre.
"You know," Ray licked the spoon clean before scooping a spoonful of ice-cream once again, "I bought this ice-cream for you. It's your favorite flavor, too. And what else, I hooked up with your ex-boyfriend, too. And you know what, I told Nik that I'm also gunning for his ass!"
Mj looked back at Ray with a shocked expression as Ray's gaze curved in delight.
"You've killed gangsters and destroyed corrupted ministers with a single sword in hand. Sometimes a pistol, too. So, take my advice. If you want to have another go at Nik, forget about Anna, or her mother, or Cindy, or anybody else. Get it out of your system. If you wanna stay with him after that, good. If not, nobody's going to blame you..."
"Well, I'm not that kind. But I'm sure Nik is really a softy on the inside so don't feel too awkward," Ray grinned as she bit on her spoon once again while Mj gulped, her fist clenched around her pen.
'But... I should start acting fearless, too. I've got that shackles. Instead of being meek towards Mephisto, I should use Ghost Rider to gain the initiative...'
