Chapter.40
I woke up with my body sweating. Blood was coursing throw my body so rapidly my veins were popping out. I took off my shirt and put a ice dome over me to cool down.
I also took some ice and ate it.
'Matrix is it possible for me to get a fever?'
[Yes, but no. You can get the infected cells for a fever, but they will be destroyed by you superior immune system]
'Then why does it feel like I have a fever?'
[I gave you the SSS yesterday when you went to sleep]
'Oh. How long will this last?'
[For a few more seconds]
I breathed out as my body cooled down and I looked at my body. I was slightly buffer and I grew a bit more. I walked out of my room and it was barely sunrise, I walked to the railing on the cruise and just looked at the barley peeking sun from the horizon.
'I forgot I could do that!!' I suddenly had a revelation.
'Matrix, send Viviana a text that I would be gone for a while and when I get, back I'll explain some things.'
[Yes sir]
The text was to reassure her that I would be back, while she knew when I get back we would have a talk. I honestly can't think that she would up and leave without a reason.
I started looking around the ship for a kitchen to make me some cereal or something, but I'm not cooking for anyone.
[The kitchen is a few feet forward to the left sir]
'Thanks Matrix.'
I got to the kitchen and it was bigger than what I thought. There was everything that was needed for cooking or something simple and there was even sweets, because why not I guess.
I made some Captain Crunch and went back to my room.
'Since we're not in a rush I could get a morning workout in or at least some stretches.' I wanted to see the full effects of what the serum did and to see how much strongerI got.
After finishing my cereal I stretched my body and went to back of the ship and got on the railing. I looked at the water and jumped off the ship, but just before I hit the water I froze the surface enough for me to walk on, but not enough to touch the ship.
I froze some water further away from the ship and made a sort of ice island. The ship was fast, but we can ride around with a ship going hundreds of miles per hour while going to Russia.
I got down and started doing push ups, but I made my suit, just like my weights. Yes, I brought my suit and made it invisible. It would be good for training and I also want to upload somethings into it.
The suit itself hasn't been of much use, because everything that has happened so far has been easily handled by Matrix, but when more things come I'll be using the suit.
....
<Three hours later>
I finished my workout and the sun was just starting to peek over the horizon, but by this time everyone else was already up. I heard them scrambling around and calling my name, so I made a path of ice to the boat and hopped on the deck.
"What?"
"...We're going over mission details today. Everyone is required to be there." Steve said as I just nodded and we walked to the conference room.
....
"As I said before it would be better if we drew attention to one side while some of us infiltrated the side they leave open." Steve said. It was a good plan, but going in like that without knowing what type of machinery they have could be dangerous.
"What if something unexpected happens-"
*bzzz*
I was about to make a suggestion, but my phone started vibrating. I ignored it and went back to talking.
"We can't just run in there thinking they only have metal guns. This is Hydra we're talking about." I said.
"I'll be getting into their systems later today, so we know what to expect when we get there." Tony said as he took a sip of Jack. I nodded and with a few more minutes of discussion we parted ways.
I went back to my room and looked at the message I got. It was from Viviana and it sounded like she was worried or that's what I got.
***************************************************
[Where are you?]
[I'll tell you when I get back, but for now stay there.]
She didn't text back for a while.
[Okay, but you don't have to tell me anything you don't want to talk about. I just wanted to know where you were.]
[Well..I'm on my way to Russia. I'll be back in about two weeks.]
[Why are you in Russia!?!]
[I said I'm on my way there. I'll tell you when I get back.]
[...Can you FaceTime me then.]
I paused for a moment. Can I FaceTime her while on the ship? What if I got caught? That would be embarrassing. I breathed in just as I got another text.
[If you don't want to or can't I get it, but at least text.]
[I can FaceTime.]
If I didn't I might get lonely.
'What am I thinking?' I thought and started slapping my forehead.
"KID CALM IT DOWN IM THERE AND CLEAN UP AFTERWARDS!!" I heard Tony yell by my door. I immediately opened it up and looked at him seriously.
"It's not like that"
"..Yeah..of course not." He said suspiciously as he took another sip of different liquor.
I slowly went back to my room while still looking at Tony. When I was completely in I closed the door and texted back.
[I was dealing with Tony. I can FaceTime you Right now or later tonight]
[Your with Tony Stark!!]
[Yeah, he's coming with me and a few others to Russia]
[Are you going with Tony as Tony Stark or as Iron Man?]
[Can it be both?]
[...] She didn't text back, but I get the feeling she's looking at her phone with an expression that says 'Really?'
[Its as Iron Man, but it's nothing serious.]
[Just be careful. If you come back to our home with gun wounds you'll trail blood everywhere.]
[What about my well-being?]
[We'll have to see about it.]
I started smiling and was got a rather warm feeling when she called it "our home". I really need to be more in tune with my emotions, because this is getting ridiculous.
I sighed.
[Then I'll call you later today.] I said and she game me a thumbs up emoji. I put my phone in my pocket when I heard Matrix.
[Progress]
"Got to sleep Matrix."
[Im just helping put wind in the sails of my ship sir]
I stayed quiet and turned to my side in bed.
"You didn't help with anything." I muttered.
[Are you sure about that]
"I need a drink." I said and got up to leave my room. 'Where is his bar?'
[It should be just down the hall on on the right.]
I nodded and made my way to the bar. I noticed that everyone seemed to be gone or in their rooms while I walked around the boat. I got to the bar room and opened the door and I heard them all laughing while getting drunk.
They looked at me and I walked to the bar counter and got a bottle of Poppy van winkle's family liquor and popped the cap off.
"You're not old enough for that." Steve said. I looked at him and spoke.
"It's not like it can do anything anyway."
"That's 30 year old wine that cost 10 grand. You'll be put to sleep." Tony said.
"I propose a drinking game. This bug warrior should prove himself." Thor said as he took the bottle and poured everyone a shot.
"You're not serious right. He's not even a teen." Steve rebuked.
"Yeah, but he's not normal either, let's let him let loose." Natasha said as she took her shot. I mean, when you've killed people almost on the daily, getting drunk would be the least of anyone's worries.
I took my shot and it had no effect. I raised my eyebrow to Thor and he smirked.
"Then let the games begin." Clint then took his shot followed by a reluctant Steve then Tony.
"How about some Ciroct Vodka Peach." Tony said presenting the bottle. Popping it open instead of shots he took down some wine bottles and had a mechanic hand pours some.
All of us chugged it down and that was how I earned my title as Dionysus. It means the god of wine in Greek.
