BXBX NOVEL Chapter 175 - Worries & Challenge...
A/N: Charles isn\'t evil in my fanfic... MC calls him an old fool because of his naivety and the mistakes he has made in the past and has never thought about correcting them. What he did to Jean was completely wrong and he should have come clean long ago.
Now, I wanted to do this slowly with the progress of the story but I think that it would be much better if I explained about the powers MC gets from his bloodline. MC is currently unable to use these powers but he will slowly learn them.
1) Power of Destruction (Like Gods of Destruction from DB Series)
2)Power of Corrosion (Can corrode anything)
3)Power of Disintegration (Would be able to disintegrate anything)
4)Power to Erase (Would be able to erase anything from the world. This would remove the object\'s existence from any existing timeline. This move would also cause severe backlash on MC)

[Kamar-Taj, Nepal]
A bald woman was sitting leisurely with her eyes closed. She was munching on a bag of potato chips and took a sip of her tea from time to time. Even though she looked really relaxed, she wasn\'t. In fact, she was quite close to panicking and she hasn\'t panicked for several centuries.
Before yesterday she was unable to see the person who is responsible for the energy surge. She tried but she wasn\'t able to see anything successfully… it was like something was completely blocking her powers. But something changed when she was finally able to see a strange young man.
She was just able to watch what he was doing currently, she wasn\'t able to see either his future or his past. But this wasn\'t the reason for her worries… the reason for her worries was this young man wasn\'t a human. She snorted in irritation… this man might look like a human but he wasn\'t. She could feel the Power of Destruction seeping out of him.
She has seen many beings throughout her extremely long life but she had never seen someone who had this kind of Chaotic Energy. (A/N: Ancient One has met a lot of dimensional Gods and what not but she didn\'t meet someone who was able to control a concept). This bothered her, she was also sure that this being has arrived from a different dimension because there was no way she would have missed him.
But there was very little she could now sinse the being was already here. She needed to approach the being there was no denying this. She didn\'t want to have this being as her enemy. Since this being has shown up in this world and he remained here, this means he had some kind of objective. Most of the time such objectives could never be good but this being confused her.
She has been watching the being since yesterday and it really confused her to see that the being was mingling with mutants. Now, there was definitely some ulterior motive behind his actions but the motive escaped her reason. So, she decided to pay him a visit. It was quite risky on her part but as the Sorcerer Supreme, it was her duty.
She calmly waited for him to arrive in his room, that is when she would make her entrance. So, she patiently waited while munching on potato chips and sipping her tea.
(A/N: Currently Reo is unable to control or use his Destruction powers but he still has the signature of those powers on his body. Ancient One felt those signatures and thought he could use them that is why she is scared)
[Mace, New York]
Natasha Romanoff, currently known as Juliet Asher waiting to make a business deal with a new rising company. Natasha was really good at what she did but her current job was giving her an intense headache.
Even after a month of investigation, they didn\'t get any results. They had several leads and they were sure that all these incidents were related to the same people but she or even her organization were unable to get a single name. Getting a name was quite far-fetched, they didn\'t have a face to recognize their targets. This was a huge blow to their reputation.
She looked around and saw the people partying hard with the intense music going on. She herself had a cocktail in her hands, according to her this was quite an odd place to sign a business contract. About 70 percent of SHIELD resources were invested in this group but they still couldn\'t find a damn clue. This was the biggest lead they had got in five days.
They found out that someone unknown was buying shares from the biggest companies but the problem was that they didn\'t have any face to match behind those purchases. Gold was still being sold in the market like water and they were risking inflation now… whoever was doing this didn\'t care about their country\'s economy. Her Boss was sure that this was a work of a huge terrorist organization. She herself agreed with that because how can you get your hands on so much gold?
So, when they found that they were trying to buy a whole company, Natasha was selected to go undercover so that she could make the deal and apprehend the person who arrives. After using some blackmail material, they were able to get her in and now here she was waiting for the buyer to arrive.
She watched as a classy woman in an expensive suit enter the bar, she was carrying a small purse along with her. For whatever reason, she felt that this woman was their target.
"Possible suspect" Natasha whispered and received a command telling her that they were on it.
Natasha kept her eyes on the woman, the woman gave her a glance and smirked, the woman was wearing blue specs and had an unusual spiky black hair. Don\'t misunderstand, she was looking stunning and men were stealing glances at her… Natasha called it unique. The woman didn\'t approach and went to the bar and ordered a drink. After getting her drink, the woman calmly approached the table where Natasha was sitting.
"Target confirmed" Natasha whispered in her mic and she was told that Agents are on standby for the grab.
The woman arrived in front of the table, for the act Natasha welcomed her to sit. The woman took the seat and licked her lips… Natasha didn\'t like it, she was getting really dangerous vibes from the woman, she felt like she was a rabbit waiting to be devoured by a hungry lioness.
The woman smirked and licked her lips again… she didn\'t know why but Natasha felt that her non-existent innocence was in real danger now.
"It\'s nice to meet Miss Asher, thanks for meeting me so urgently. You see this is a quite urgent business for me" the woman said with a huge grin on her face. Natasha wasn\'t sure but she knew that something wasn\'t right.
"Excuse me, but I didn\'t get your name" Natasha said trying to find out the woman\'s name. Natasha also noticed that the Agents in the room were already approaching them.
"Wouldn\'t you like to know that Miss Romanoff?" the woman said and Natasha was shocked and surprised but she was in this profession for several years. Even if she was shocked, she didn\'t freeze up and reached for her gun but she suddenly stopped.
She felt a sudden rush of relief wash up on her body, her body immediately relaxed and she didn\'t know why but she felt that she must do everything in her power to fulfill this woman\'s dream. This woman who was sitting in front of her was her mistress and she wanted to make her mistress happy.
But there was a small part of her screaming her to stop, telling her that something was wrong with her but she didn\'t care about that. The only thing that mattered to her was her Mistress\'s happiness and she would do anything for it. She immediately remembered Agents were coming here to capture her Mistress, her head shot around and looked towards the Agents, all of them have joined the dancing crowd.
This showed how strong her Mistress was, a smile appeared on her face, and turned back towards her Mistress who was smiling at her.
"Now, why don\'t you give me those Company Bonds?" the woman asked Natasha and she happily obliged, Natasha felt she was over the moon, her Mistress has given her an order, even if it was small. Natasha opened her bag and handed the bonds to the woman who was nodding her head.
"The money will be transferred to the company account" the woman said. Natasha wanted to scream that her Mistress didn\'t need to pay anything but her mistress didn\'t order her to speak up so she remained silent. She just nodded her head happily like a kid on a sugar rush.
The voice inside Natasha\'s mind was still screaming at her telling her what was really happening but she didn\'t care. Her Mistress got up from her chair, Natasha decided to help and follow her mistress, she tried to get up but found that she was unable to move. Her mistress placed a hand on her cheek and caressed it lovingly.
This is when Natasha returned to her normal self and she was disgusted at herself. She tried again but her body was still frozen, she looked towards the woman who was gently smiling at her.
"Challenge accepted SHIELD, funny name. But this isn\'t enough Natasha, you people have to try harder. I will expect a better challenge next time, don\'t disappoint me, Natasha… I have high hopes for you" the woman said while caressing Natasha\'s cheek and left the room while waving her hand. She heard the screaming orders from her earpiece but she was still unable to move and the Agents were still dancing.
Natasha was scared for the first time… she was disgusted because of how she felt and how she referred to that woman as Mistress but she was scared too. The woman was able to control her just like that? What kind of power was that and it was clear that the woman was amused and was mocking them.
Natasha gasped and found that she was finally able to move and the rest of the Agents also gained back their ability to move on their own.
A voice growled in her earpiece giving her an order "Yes, sir" that was the only thing Natasha was able to say. She knew that this was going to be a long night.
[POV Reo]
Hah! I finally returned to my room after I was completely bored, today I found something about myself when I saw the others fighting. I wanted to fight too and just watching the fight bored me. I closed my door and immediately shot a bolt of lightning behind me when I felt a presence appear behind me.
I saw that it was a bald person who made a yellow shield and deflected the lightning bolt. Damn! I attacked the Ancient One, the most dangerous baldie currently on earth?
"Hello, forgive me for surprising you" the woman said in a neutral tone, she didn\'t look angry that I attacked her. That\'s good I guess…
