11 Kidnapping? Forced Employment? Rescuing?

Technically if I sign a contract with Wanda, like the one I plan to do with Kitty, the influence of the dimensional lord (Chthon) could be countered by the influence of the new source, aka void energy, my source. But Wanda will have to be at least conscious enough to be able to form a contract with me. If she is not, then I will have to fight Chthon and make a deal with him or kill Wanda in the worst case.

My energy has no psychological effects... that I know of... but even if it does I rather Wanda behaves like me than like Chthon. 

"Yao, is Wanda still awake, aware of her surroundings?"

"How conscious do you need her to be?"

"Enough to sign a contract with me..."- I still need to study some sorcery though, I hope I'm not getting ahead of myself.

"What sort of contract? Like a magic vow?"

"No... I plan to sign something similar to the contracts you guys use to pull dimensional energy. But instead of pulling energy from a dimension, the contract will pull energy from me."- Yao's eyes thinned a little while thinking of the implications of my question. 

"...Yes, that is probably possible for Wanda... but wouldn't you be making her your avatar?"- Yao asked clearly concerned about having a unstable Wanda as the avatar of a cosmic entity. 

"No, you can only make avatars if you are a powerful dimensional lord (champions), cosmic entity, have some claim to an aspect of reality, elder god and some exceptions, really particular exceptions. Otherwise you're not making "avatars" but something else. I don't fit in any of those categories. My objective is for my energy to fight off the influence that Chthon has in Wanda through the chaos energy... Though I will need your help creating this type of contract."- I said almost pleadingly at the end. 

"... That's surprisingly a marvelous idea, it should work, and as long as Wanda accepts she will have enough time for her to master her newly acquired powers... Yes, we will have to work on creating the contract, our dimensional contract won't suffice, but that won't so difficult."- Yao was positively surprised by my idea.

"Great! That's almost one problem less from my ever growing list of problems... I will go now Yao, you can visit the Halo when you please, there's not much yet but you can use the facilities in my house up there."- So much to do! But if there's anything I have, it's shine... and time. 

I went back to my mansion to find Jean already sleeping in her new room. It looks like Kitty was true to her desires and went to Halo to sleep, Bucky and Emma are up there as well. 

"Spark, send a message to Bucky and Emma. Tell them that tomorrow they will help me hiring my new staff."- I can have them pick up the widows that are in missions, out of the red room, while I rescue the ones in the "school". 

After getting a report of the current monitoring targets of Spark under the Skynet and Brother Eye I went to sleep for the day. Same as usual, SHIELD spying on the world, *GASP* How dare they?!, Hydra manipulating SHIELD, the Hand worshiping their demon, about 999+ world conspiracies going on, a capsicle in the artic, the 10 rings playing modern warfare on a global scale, I found out that the Eternals here are the same as the ones in the old movies, but I believe that these ones are biological, I will probably have to help Tiamut emerge without braking Earth... Shit, is that even possible?, there's some inhumans in the Himalayans but also some in the moon, Namor is already on the throne, the Savage Lands are currently isolated and I plan on keeping it like that for the moment, it is public knowledge that Reed Richards is studying both space travel and dimensional breaching, so it's still in the air how they are going to power up, I rather not deal with Annihilus, sadly I can't hack their network since I can't have him detect me with his world endangering IQ and/or plot armor; but I will fuck him up a little if he is doing dimensional breaching without taking the appropriate precautions... *SIGH* Who am I kidding? That idiot genius is definitely doing something reckless, but I rather not be a tyrant that messes with people because they "could" do something bad; that's the Fury way, I rather go the Batman way, assume everyone and everything will fuck up and prepare, at least Batman has friends... and Catwoman. 

_________________________

It's a new day! Today I will hire some staff! I have a lot to do! I also need to start my "Zoomorphic Girl" plan, the first step is to study the biology of cats, foxes and rabbits; I need to improve my biokinesis. I got out of bed and went to the make some breakfast, when I got to the kitchen I found Jean in her white pajamas doing some breakfast.

"Good morning Jean!"

"Hi Aragorn, I made us some breakfast!"

"Thank you Jean! How was your night? Any problems with the new reach of your powers?"- I bet that even without training she must be able to hear at least half of the world now.

"... Just getting to sleep was difficult enough, but I focused on our connection, your mind dwarfs everything on the planet... and I'm not sure if it's okay to say this but... I'm grateful that you don't dream."- She looks uncomfortable with the notion.

"Why wouldn't it be okay?"- I know I don't dream, but it's not because I'm unable. 

"I read somewhere that not dreaming could be due to different problems, some of them could be psychological..."- Normally that's the case, among other things, but not in this case.

"HAHAHAHAHAH! You silly padawan, I don't dream because it's dangerous to dream with my powers. I don't really need to sleep but If I'm going to, I have to be careful about it; I prefer not waking up to a shattered Earth."- Pfff! She now looks embarrassed and scared.

"Shut it Aragorn!... This is what I get for worrying about you, stupid dragon!"- HAHAHAHA! Well that nickname reminded me of Noona, I will visit her after I have my staff settled, I should also introduce Jean to Noona, technically they are related, with Jean being the Phoenix's avatar and all. 

"Hahahahaha! Ok! Ok! I will shut up. I appreciate the concern. For what it's worth, you can use our connection for sleeping until you get a hold of your powers."- I wouldn't want to find myself in the dream of some seedy old man. 

"*Humph* Thank you!"- She is clearly pouting, maybe she is an anime character or reads shōjo. 

"Fire padawan, what are your plans for the day? I can train you now or in the afternoon, whatever works best for you."- Not that I'm trying to distract you or anything.

"... I will allow your poor attempt at changing the topic of conversation. I have some classes to take later in the morning, so I prefer training in the afternoon."- Mission smoothly accomplished, no matter what the padawan says. 

"Yeah no problem; I need to hire some staff anyways. You can coordinate with Spark and just let me know when you're ready. I will probably train the staff on Halo to avoid their thoughts seeping to you, but there's still a chance that you will find new people here, so a heads up just in case."- I would rather not face court because of a work related accident on the first day. Well my girls probably won't be able to go to court for the first few years, but that's not a nice thought.

"That's okay, thanks for the the heads up Aragorn."

"No problem. Lastly if you need anything just ask Spark, no need for reservations, I probably have more "money" than this planet, and if it can't be bought you can have the fabricators make it for you on Halo."- Once you reach a certain level of wealth you measure it by resources not money.

"... Hehehehe Aragorn are you trying to become my sugar daddy?"- Jean laughed mockingly while posing seductively.

"Please LITTLE padawan! You need to, at least, be close to Noona's level if you want me as your sugar daddy!"- Please! As if you could compare to Noona's temptation that I could only resist, barely, due to the total control of my body that I exerted.

"*GASP* Bastard! I'm growing! As if I would want YOU as my sugar daddy! And if you can't even appreciate my beauty then maybe it's you who has some problems, maybe PERFORMING! Who's this "Noona" anyway? Your imaginary dragoness?! HA! Probably the name of your hand"- Oh IT'S personal now! The kiddy gloves are off!

"What would YOU even know about performing?! You are a little wet behind the ears to even think about evaluating any sort of performing! And if YOU are growing then I, after my aeons of age, am still growing as well!"- To be fair she is 15 years old, so there's a lot of growing to do, I can also bet all my scales that she will be a bombshell, but this and that are different things! This is the trashing of a rebel padawan!- HAHAHAHAH! She is all red now!-... ... ... It reminded me of my bike and now I'm not so sure if pissing her off inside my mansion is a good idea.

"YOU!!! I bet you can't even get a date with YOUR Hand! *COUGH* *COUGH* Sorry your "Noona"! HAHAHAHAHA"- This crazy padawan is asking for IT! You don't mess with Noona.

"As if!!! My Noona is very real! I will get a date with her in the future for sure! But what about you? You, LITTLE padawan, won't be able to get any dates even if the guy wears a loupe for eye glasses!"- HAHAHAHAHA! You won't beat me in the art of trash talking, for me is easy... I just have to channel my inner young master! 

"THAT'S IT!!!"-... Shit she is going to blast my house! I've got to portal us away!- As soon as her eyes started to shine ominously, without wasting any time, I warped us to Halo, to the valley in front of my house. 

*CRAAAAACK*- The ground started cracking as Jean pulled rocks out of it and hurdled them at me at subsonic speeds.

*BOOOM* *CRASH*-"HAHAHAHAHAH YOU ARE STILL TOO LITTLE TO BEAT ME JEAN"- I shouted while I deflected the bus size rocks.- For my offensive I switched my TK into attack position, I pulled some water from the atmosphere to Super Soaker the hot headed padawan. 

*WOOSH* *SPLAAASH*

"HAHAHAHAHA LIKE I SAID, STILL WET BEHIND THE EARS!"- I laughed at the wet padawan. Now she looks like a wet dog! Hahahaha!- This is so much fun!

"I'M GOING TO BREAK THOSE HORNS OF YOURS ARAGORN!!!"- Her eyes shone even brighter. She started to float under the influence of her TK, she looked at me from above before pulling her hands back at the level of her chest. She said:

"ARAGORN, DROWN!!!!!"- She pushed her hands forward.

*RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* 

The ground, following her command, raised itself and rippled forward, simulating a tsunami. A tsunami made of dirt, rocks and water.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA! LITTLE JEAN YOU WONT BE ABLE TO HIT ME WITH THAT."- I shouted while I flew above the massive dirt wave.- I lifted my left hand and pulverized about a handful of the dirt passing below and sent the little dust cloud to the still wet and enraged teenager. 

*Sploosh*- She was covered with dirt in a instance.

"YOU SHIT DRAGON!"- Jean lifted her hands and created a forest of rock spears below us, the spears started to separate form the ground and she then closed her hands in a fist, compressing the spears solid. Breaking the sound barrier, one after the other, she shot the spears at me.

*BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* 

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA NOT ENOUGH! YOU'RE STILL LACKING!"- I mockingly said while I supersonically flew around each spear. My choice of words just pissed her off even further. Not long after that she started to pick up the pace and it was like a minigun, just that instead of bullets she's got spears and instead of firing explosions she's got sonic booms.

Explosions and rumbling could be heard after each time that she launched a rock spear.- But I was not going to take it like this. While evading her spears I started to pull water from any source on the valley and the air, but I pulled it stealthily, until I had a lake worth of water silently creeping above us. Finally I dispersed some of it's heat back to the atmosphere, lowering the temperature of the water just enough for it not to freeze.

"STAY STILL ARAGORN!"- Shouted Jean trying to strike me down while airborne.

"WHY DON'T YOU COOL OFF LITTLE FIRE?!"- I dropped the water above us and glomped us in the lake of freezing water. 

*SPLASH* *GLUMP*

'HAHAHAHAHAHA! Little padawan! What will you do now?'

'BASTARD I'M FREEZING!'

'PFFFFF SO? HOW ARE YOU GOING TO ESCAPE?'

Jean got angrier, she focused for a couple of seconds before using an omnidirectional telekinetic blast.- That's a low level Shinra Tensei (Almighty Push). 

*BHOOMH*- She pushed enough water away to create a force field around her, she was lacking air in the bubble but for her new body this was no problem. 

'HUMPH NOW YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING TO ME!'- Yeah you should have that force field on since the start, now I can't bully you without harming you... but you're still to inexperienced, yeah I can physically bully you but I can use some psychological tactics HEHEHEHEHE!

'You know little Jean... All this freezing water and your white pajamas are only showing your... scarcity, you know right?'- I said with a cocky grin while staring at her chest, her white blouse left nothing to imagination. 

There was a sense of foreboding in the water. She looked down, but there was no blushing, she looked back at me and her green eyes shifted to red, she pointed her palm at me and manifested a fist size white flame, almost cosmic fire but not there yet.- Shit! She is going to vapor explosion us up.

'I can't live with this shame... neither can you.'- She said softly before sending her scalding flame out of her bubble, into the water. I lifted my hand and encased her in a void barrier. And then... then...

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM*

*riiiiiiiiiiiiing*- After the explosion there was this high frequency ringing on my head for a second or two. I was only wearing my shorts... that were initially pants... in a crater so big that it will soon be the new lakeview from my house up in the cliff... About my house, I could see that the shields were up, meaning that the explosion reached all the way up there. Bucky, Emma and Spark were on the balcony... I could feel their exasperation from here. I called back the void barrier, it was sent to the mountains on the other end of the valley, and floated us to my house. I stepped in front of the gang, they looked at the void barrier, it was currently in its raw form so it was distorting space making it hard to discern what was inside, and Emma asked:

"So? What sort of demon, god, entity, mutant, world ending threat do you have there?"- I'm guessing that they couldn't recognize Jean from this distance, but Spark should know, Spark is just keeping silent because he is always on my side! Nice one Spark! I can always count on you!- I removed my barrier letting Emma see the wet and fuming Jean inside.

"...I hate you Aragorn."- It was all Jean said.

"You crazy bastard!"- Is what Emma shouted before running inside with the wet dog. 

"..."- Is what Bucky said, before following inside.

"Master Chief, as much as this pains me to inform you I must do this for your betterment, I have recorded this incident and will inform Madam Death upon her descent to this plane."

"... *GASP*..."- The betrayal!

_______________________________

"So... Jean... I might have taken it a bit further... so... I'm sorry!"- Why do I have to apologize while everybody is looking at me like that? This is not what I imagined I would do with my busy morning.

"... And?"- Emma.

"... And any man would be grateful to be of your interest."- I will claim vengeance in the future little padawan. 

"... I accept your apology Aragorn."- It would be better if you said it without emulating a young lady, I bet she reads shōjo.

"... do I not get an apology?"- I mean... She was mocking Noona by comparing her to my hand. You better apologize now padawan, or else later the revenge will be greater.

"... For what?"- She looks confused?... Why?

"For saying that Noona doesn't exist."- What else? Do you think that I care, enough to start a "fight", about being made fun of?

"... Your imaginary girlfriend?"- This is weird, why would she believe that she is fake? 

"mmmhhh this is weird... Why would you believe that she is fake?"

"You have a girlfriend?"- Emma. 

"No... Just some one I like... Why would I fake a person?"

"..."- Emma.

"... I'm also confuse why you two believe that he would create a fake person."- Thank you Bucky, at least you have my back.- Emma and Jean looked back at each other and tilted their heads in confusion.

"... I don't want to be rude, but you don't feel like someone who has a romantic relationship... I'm not trying to make fun of you, but your mind doesn't feel like the mind of a person that is in love."- Jean.- I think I'm more confused now, How does the mind of a person in love feels like? Whatever it feels like, a normal person's mind is not the best point of reference for mine.

"I don't share a link with you like Jean, but you clearly live alone; your behavior is also the one of someone that is used to being alone. I also thought that the maids you were... hiring... were for the purpose of future concubines."- What the hell?- I looked at my only island in this sea of confusion, Bucky.

"Don't look at me, I'm as confused as you are, for all I know there's a Miss Dragoness out there waiting for you in a cosmic nest."- That's good, just a little weird, but it doesn't help me with anything.

"Ms. Grey, Ms. Frost; The "Noona", as the Master Chief calls her, is indeed a being in existence. While technically not alive, Madam Death is very real, she is also the aim of the Master Chief's affections."- Yes Spark, you tell them!- I looked at the girls with satisfaction after Spark helped me out, but now the three of them are giving me weird looks.- What now?

"""Madam Death?"""- x3

"... Yes?... Noona Death."- The light in my darkness, the hottest and sweetest girl in existence or inexistence. 

"Who... or... What is that?"- Emma.- Right these guys don't know about the abstracts. 

"You guys don't know about the Abstracts...That's why you look at me like crazy."

"Abstracts?"- Bucky.

"Yes... First of all, Jean my mind, specially, and the mind of most telepaths work different than normal minds, probably even yours won't feel the same as you expect in the future when you fall in love. Second, Emma I've been alone for longer than this universe has been existing, so I am used to being alone, since I was alone for most of my life except for the first decades of my existence. And lastly, Cosmic Abstracts are conceptual cosmic beings, at the top is the Living Tribunal, who serves the One Above All. Below them are the four pillars of reality: Eternity, Infinity, Death, and Oblivion. After the pillars we have Master Order, Lord Chaos, the In-Betweener, Mistress Love, Sire Hate, the Phoenix Force and others, a lot more. The ranking has to do with importance and not power, scaling this entities by power is stupid since the way they "fight" is different. Noona is Death, or Lady Death as most know her. I take orders from The Living Tribunal but Noona is my point of contact and basically direct superior."- I feel like I just lifted a huge burden from my shoulders.- Now I feel bad for bullying the padawan, my revenge will be light, do not worry padawan I understand that you were just confused, I'm an understanding dragon.

"... I'm sorry about before Aragorn."-Jean.

"Don't worry Jean, I understand now why you were confused."- Your punishment has been lighten.

"... But... What's with these seemingly existent new all-powerful beings?"- Jean.

"Don't worry too much Padawan, once you start using the learning room one of the first lessons is about cosmic entities, there's also an extra about gods and demons but that one is optional for you, since once you're done with your training gods and demons will have to learn about you, not the other way around."- While in training I will always be there, but afterwards the demons will teach their spawns about the little padawan.

"Okay if you say so, Thank you Aragorn!"-She said cheering up after hearing about the learning room.

"... Aragorn if it's alright to ask, Why were you alone for so long?"- Emma.

"It's no problem... I was a normal human once, there was a war against power hungry alien invaders, I along with most of the rest of humanity took the fight to their home planets, we started to develop powers after contact with their galaxies. I had the power of absorbing the souls of my kills, after the war was over one of the powered humans, with the power of stealing powers, went psycho and wanted to use my power to make himself a god... something went wrong with my power when he tried to steal it and I absorbed my universe. I was left adrift in The Void in the omniverse until I found this place, The One Above All, the creator of this multiverse, gave me this universe as my home in exchange for working some tasks under the Living Tribunal. So the "time" I spent in the void is the reason I'm used to being alone, normally no being with a soul should be able to survive in the void, so It was only me and the creatures of the void."- I suspect that I might be one of the oldest existences around here, at least age influenced me differently than those old fogies, I wouldn't want to be a nihilist holier-than-thou dragon. 

"..."-Emma.

"..."- Jean.

"... I'm just gonna say it, everyone is thinking about it, but How are you not... more crazy?"- Bucky.

"Oh that's because of my previous power. It was the power to absorb souls to empower my soul. So by the time I was done eating my universe my way of thinking, feeling, moving, seeing, talking, being and existing was already different. Normally if someone is as old as me they get affected by time one way or the other, but my soul fixed some of my previous problems and preserve me as me; the same about being alone for so long, my soul (me) determined that some feelings, senses, memories, experiences, etc were not needed so they were dormant, awaiting for the moment in which they were, once I located this multiverse my soul restarted my dormant attributes."- After all I was more affected by the lost of my family than by my time alone. 

"... I'm sorry about it Aragorn. Are you not sad? About your previous home I mean, and your time alone."- Emma.

"Yes, but I work on a different "programming" now. It's more like I'm trauma proofed, because my soul equates trauma to damage, and my soul doesn't do damage. It's not that I can't feel, it's more like I can only feel an allowed amount, or for an allowed amount of time, of allowed emotions. So I do feel sadness but not crippling sadness, I feel lust but not mind loosing lust, I feel hate but not disabling hate, I feel rage but not madding rage, I feel lots of curiosity but not life threatening curiosity, I enjoy bullying Jean but not enough to "damage" Jean."- Hehehehehehe. 

"HEY!... wait... ?... Is that good or bad?"- Jean.

"Hahahaha! I'm mostly kidding Jean, what I meant is that I enjoy but not enough to loose my self in joy, love is a bit different since my soul recognizes love as a positive thing, I love enough to not loose myself in it but enough to allow change in me, this applies to any type of love."- After all... you can't grow if you don't let some influences in from the outside. It's probably one of the reasons my soul survived the void, instead of fighting it, it allow some of it inside. After that... it learned about letting go when the time is right, it let go of it's absorption power in order to gain a future. I let go of my previous attachments in order to have a healthy future.

"Thank you for telling us about it Aragorn."- Emma.

"Hmhm"- Grunted Bucky.

"I don't like the bullying but thank you."-Jean. 'Afterall he didn't hurt me during our fight. He is a bully.'

"Hi guys! That is the best bed in the world! I've never felt that good sleeping before in my life!"- Shouted Kitty who has just woken up.

""""PFFFF HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA""""x4

"Kitty you are a treasure! Never change, you can get a P-Link from Spark later. Jean you should go to classes soon, same as you Kitty. Emma, James, follow me to the Overwatch room, I will show you what we will do in regards to my future staff."

After that Emma, Bucky and I went to my Overwatch room, basically my control room for matters not pertaining the Halo. Spark had already compiled a list of all the active widows and the location of the red room. 

"Alright! What do you know about the Red Room?"

"... I remember given several tasks of training assets from time to time. Aside from that nothing."- Bucky.

"I know a little about them from my time with Shaw. But not much."- Emma.

"Shaw is usually well informed when concerning to matters of the world. What about the Black Widow, did you ever hear of her?"

"The assassin?"- Emma.

"Yes. Natalia Alianovna Romanova know as The Black Widow. She was created there, in the red room. The red room was a program established by the soviets with the help of several key figures to create super enhanced spies. It started with Lyudmila Antonovna Kudrin, a genius lady that created a variant of the super soldier serum, this variant worked best on women and so the program was born. Basically they kidnap or buy girls that could disappear from any records without leaving a trace, they train them, indoctrinate them, chemically brainwash them, make them fight to the death until only the strongest one of the batch is left and finally they sterilize the winner before using the serum. After that it's rinse and repeat, since they are assigned the most risky missions normally a widow doesn't live long hence the need for the cycle. We have good news and bad news. The good news is that Kudrin trusted nobody so she kept the formula to herself even after her death, the bad news is that she left enough supply for about an army of widows. I will handle the Red Room itself, I'll just go in take the girls and destroy the whole complex, getting rid of the serum at the same time. You two are going to portal around with Spark's help to secure the girls that are doing training missions, expect resistance. Any questions?"

"What the fuck is wrong with people?... I guess you will get rid of the chemical brainwashing and you and I will help with the mental recovery."- Emma. 

"Are they coming here or to the mansion?"- Bucky. 

"They are coming here. I prefer to keep their thoughts away from Jean until they learn how to shield their minds. Jean is unstable enough as she is without adding the thoughts of trained assassins to the mix."

"Master Chief if I may, Can we use an orbital bombardment on the red room as a testing of our orbital weaponry?"- My belligerent AI.

"What about collateral damage?"

"The closest city is Oymyakon, Siberia, not even the shockwave would be felt."- My warlike AI.

"What about the presence of our satellites being discovered?"

"That will happen soon enough. I've detected a few lost signals requesting entry to the satellite communicating network. It won't be long for our network to be known, they will know that there are satellites out there but won't know where. So no risk will come to the satellites themselves for at least a decade, after that the satellites will have to be protected by the barriers built in." My gung-ho AI.

"So you are saying that it won't matter since soon the satellites' network will be know, ergo the satellites will be know, but they won't be able to locate them. Since they will fear the tech that they can't locate it doesn't matter if they have circumstantial evidence of these beings weapons given that they will fear the unknown tech assuming that it's weaponry."- Yeah since either way they will assume that my satellites are weapons it doesn't matter. 

"Correct."

"Sure! I will pull the girls and you will bomb it. Let me know if there's anything left standing, I want the place vaporized."- If there's anything left I will put on a path to the sun or something. 

"... Do we have orbital strikes?"- Emma.

""...""- Bucky and I stared at her as if she was an idiot.

"What?"- Emma felt offended by our demeanors. 

"Well... we have lightsabers, a space station, robots, AI, portals, a dragon, an avatar of a cosmic entity, a planet, and who knows what other crazy things are on this Halo. At this point orbital strikes sound more like something your neighbor could have secure under the pillow."- Bucky, an adaptable Bucky.

"... If you put it like that..."- Emma, learning to adapt.

"Alright let's get ready! Put them to sleep because I don't want them to end themselves. Spark send the girls to the med bay and have the 7 deadly sins in charge of security."

______________________

The operation was simple enough, we are almost done, I'm just waiting for the orbital strike to hit.

I portaled about a mile (1.609km) in the sky and sent a telepathic pulse that put everyone to sleep. In a minute I had already scanned all the trash and the sleeping beauties on the facility. I did find some "innocents", if you can call them that, all of them knew what they were working on but these innocents were not directly involved in the horrors the girls suffered... I honestly don't care... You're responsible for your actions, and while it's true that people could change for the better if they are given a chance for redemption, you can tell that to the dead. 

*Thunder*...*BOOM*- I manipulated the energy present and made an EMP strong enough to get to the lower levels of the facility. 

I opened several portals close to the girls and started sending them to the med bay... *Sigh* I will have to take responsibility for some of the baby girls. There were eight 4 years old, the newest batch, four 10 years old, seventeen 15-17 years old that already went through sterilization, one 19 years old also the oldest, Yelena Belova, she was not the sister of the Black Widow but she was being trained to hunt her. All in all 30 individuals but some of the old ones will probably go out on their own so I'm not sure how many I will be left with. The baby girls and the kid girls will have to stay since there's no records about were to return them and you can't be an independent baby or kid without asking for Hydra to kidnap you. I'm not sure how many Bucky and Emma will bring but hopefully I will have enough staff and not just members of the new Orphanage of the Brilliance (My Mansion). 

My waiting was rewarded, up in the sky, you can find a falling star, big enough to pulverize, fast enough vaporize. I wish upon the brightest star: for the trash to disappear! 

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOM* *RRRRRRUUUUMBLE*

A quick scan with my OP eyes and I found no traces left, just a hole with a sprinkle of crater on the top. It left a cloud of dust, snow and metal on its wake. Satisfied with Spark's job I went back to base, it's time to check on the girls. I found that Bucky and Emma were already waiting for me over there.

"Hey Guys! No problems?"

"No, I just stunned them with some psionic blast and Spark warped them here, I got 11 girls."

"Similar here, I just stunned them with this arm, it was like cheating, and I have 8 girls."- He looks like he is really enjoying his new arm. I'm glad.

"What ages? I got a bunch of baby girls and kid girls along with some teenagers."

"Well most girls were between 14-17."

"Mine were the same, except for one 19 years old."- They at least got no babies, not that it would make sense for a baby to be on a mission, but I think in the movies Yelena was a baby when she was on a mission in USA, so you never know.

"What will you do about the younger ones?"-Emma.

"I will keep them and you two and I will have to raise them... So I guess... congratulations! We are going to be parents!"- How Nice! And no need for the gender reveal, all are girls. 

""...*sigh*""-x2

"I will probably have to hold back the ones that want to be independent until I have papers for them, How many do you think that will want to go through the independence route?"

"... I don't think that any will. Based on what I've seen on their minds, were it not for the instilled patriotism most of them if not all would have killed themselves. If, after they are cleaned, you give them an opportunity to... live... they will take it. So I think all of them will follow you... *sigh* us... like ducklings in the future... You will not let me go, Will you?"- Emma.

"Hehehehehe! What are you taking about Emma? Of course I will let you go... it's just that it's not my problem if you get to attached to the girls and then decide to stay... Heheheheh!"- It's not like I was aiming for this, but it crossed my mine once or twice. 

"... *TSK*..."- Emma.

"So now... do we just wait?"- Bucky.

"Yes, same as you, two hours on the regen bath, the ones that were sterilized will get a concentrated version and they should be able to bear children by the time they come out."- Well no girl of mine is having a child until they are stably independent, so no babies in the near future for them!

"Oh! Emma we should start some of the psyche healing now."

Emma and I started to heal the mind of the girls one by one, some took more work since every person copes with extreme circumstances differently. About 20 min before the end of the baths we were done! And I was not happy! No! I felt rage! Rage about what was done to the older girls and rage about what was done to some of the kid girls. Rage with the scum of this world so much rage! So much fucking scum!

*Barf*- Sounded Emma as she wretched in the garbage bin.

"What happened?"- Asked Bucky, concerned when he saw Emma's reaction and my red eyes.

"Spark, I need you to locate several people for me, you have 10 minutes."- Is all I said while my crimson eyes looked back to Emma. 

"Give me the profiles you have Emma, they will die. All of them. All who knew and helped, All who knew and did nothing, All who ordered it, All who enabled it, All who perpetuated the act, There will be none left."

"I will send you their profiles, make them suffer... Until they beg for death."- Of course she was enraged as well. She telepathically sent me the profiles she got from the girls she helped.

"Spark leave them another hour in the regen bath... regen their hymen as well... is the least I can do for them."- I said while leaving through a portal... on a hunt. 

"Pieces of SHIT!"- I heard bucky shout when he heard my last order. 

_________________________

One by one I gathered them! Always asking the same questions. Who are you? What are you? What are you doing here? Always making the same exclamations. Security! Kill Him! Demon! Stop Him! Intruder! But not a single scum took more than 10 seconds. I grabbed them by the throat, a limb, the head and some times I just opened a portal behind them before kicking them in, but I made damn sure that all of them were healthy, healthy for what's to come. I made sure that none of them could off themselves. I recognized some names, some were from "powerful" organizations, most where from first world countries, most were from important positions. I'm not sure how the governments and organizations of some countries will work tomorrow. I bet a munch of agencies will loose their shit finding their agents. I bet a bunch of families will go to the police declaring some of their family members missing, yes, family members because there were some women involved. A bunch of families will be changing their wills. A bunch of people will be involved in the repercussion of the disappearance of these scum. But... I DON'T CARE!

Some of the girls were used as hookers in some fucking parties under the excuse of espionage, some were used as call girls by the same functionaries of their government. I don't care about what their governments will do when they find that their prime minister is missing... after all he KNEW... He is not forgiven. 

An after the last of them was secured in one of my prison cells I went to ask a question that's been eating me for a while now... Why?... Why didn't she kill them all? 

I portal in the living room of a inconspicuous house in France, strategically found in a place with lots of escape routes. In front of me was a very surprise redhead that was coming out of the shower, dressed in a dark blue bath robe. She looked at my horns and crimson eyes and she felt the presence I was broadcasting. And her trembling started. She was trying her hardest to control her trembling. She knew that if she wanted to survive me she couldn't be confrontational. That was what her body, soul and mind said in unison.

"Hello Natalia. My name... doesn't matter. I'm here because I have a few questions for you. Can you help me out?"- I said very politely, after all no matter how angry I was, I know that she is not at fault she was just another victim... That's what I kept repeating in my mind, like a mantra. Even though she knew about it, she was a victim as well, I saw her in one of the memories of one girl in one of these fucking parties, the girl didn't recognized Natalia, but I did.

"..Y-es- I can h-elp you."- I toned down my presence, I can't have a conversation with her like this.

"Did you know that the red room still existed?- Spark did find that when she escaped she blew up her training facility. Which at that time it was the main complex. 

"... Yes, I learned about their re-establishment approximately a decade after my escape."- When she escaped she probably was lacking experience in the underworld and the workings of governmental covert operations. 

"Why didn't you attempt to destroy them while it was weak?"- The "new" red room was rebuilt about 3 decades ago. She had about 20 years to get rid of it. 

"... I couldn't. I tried! I Fucking Tried! When I learned of it I infiltrated the country but they were ready, I couldn't even get close to the facility without falling into a daze and waking up later almost frozen to death, they have a chemical trigger for my "conditioning"... I was able to escape once, I was not risking that chance for anything. The only reason my bounty hunters are not sent with said compound is because if it's leaked all their active widows will be vulnerable to it."- She said with her frustration out in the open. I could also tell that she was not lying, her feelings, her surface thoughts, her smell, heart rhythm...

"*SIGH*... I apologize for the intrusion Natalia... I know that you are also a victim of them... Is just that I saw you in the memory of one of the girls..."- She opened her eye on realization.

"You have one of their widows?"

"Not one... I have all of them. Even the ones that were on active duty. As of today... there's no more Red Room."- I felt her happiness but it soon turn somber.

"Thank you!... but they will just start the program again, given enough time."

"That's not possible Natalia, I have everyone that was a part of it, everyone that was remotely involved, from the lowest paid Janitor to the prime minister that ordered the re-establishment of the program. Everyone that knows, everyone that played a part on the girls' suffering. ALL of them."- I smiled at her and brought my rage to my face so that she could understand that I was not talking about a future endeavor, I was talking about a fact born from the past, undeniable.

"... What? All of them?!... You are going to be hunted! But... I don't think it matters to you... What are you doing with them?"- Yes Natalia, it matters not to me. I bet that in some of their secretly located recording devices there must be some evidence of my existence, But my public persona has no horns or crimson eyes, I also change my hair whenever I got out. So they won't be able to link me to it. 

"HEHEHEHE! I will make them beg for death of course! What else do they deserve Natalia?"- When their souls find their way to Noona's realm, there won't be any sense of self left. 

"... Can I be there?"- *Mmmmhhhmm* I can't find any problems to it. She will basically implicate her self as an accomplice. If anything it will help me in the future when I ask her to help me with their training. I looked at her body with my eyesight to make sure that there were no devices on her.

"Sure. Get ready! No devices with you. I don't mind about the weapons since those are ineffective."- Prevention, I bet the devices won't work on Halo but you never know.

She was ready in five minutes and I opened a portal back to the med bay. I found Bucky talking to Emma, trying to give her some solace. After my exit came Natalia, who immediately recognized Bucky and got ready for confrontation.

"Natalia... He is no longer brainwashed by Hydra."- She looked at my still crimson eyes and gave a nod of understanding. I looked back at Emma and said:

"I have all of them in the prison. I got some more from the memories I read from them. Everyone, All, anybody involved, indirectly or directly, enablers and participants, 1783 of them."

"That many?!"- Said Emma with her rage poisoned tone.

"Yes, must of them were people who knew, or worked taking charge of the after care, or gave orders. But all of them knew of the things that the girls had to suffer through. Some will get a quick death but some will beg for one."

"Thank you Aragorn. I... *sigh*... I will just make sure that the girls get better after this."- Emma.

"Aragorn (?). What will you do with the girls?"- Natalia.

"Yes Aragorn is my name. The small ones we will have to raise, the older ones will be either trained as maids or taught for a profession of their choosing. If they want freedom they will need to wait a few years until I have credible identities for them, you know building a print, leaving some paperwork trail to make sure that the new identities are believable." 

  "Can I work with them as well?"- Natalia asked with some hesitation. 

"... Don't you make a living as an assassin for hire?"- I have no need for assassins though.

"Yes, but I've been thinking of finding a way to leave behind this life... and I think this is a good chance, I have other skills aside from killing and if not, I learn fast, I'm pretty sure that I can find something to help you with... besides... I don't know where we are but I'm pretty sure that that on the window is Earth... So I'm pretty sure that I can hide here... I don't know if you are an Alien but at least you care about the girls... and did something for them."- Indeed that's Earth, I think this widow is somewhat similar to the one on the movies, a widow on a redemption path. I don't think that there are any problems with her employment.

"Spark. Your thoughts?"- Spark floated in the room, surprising Natalia further.

"It's convenient. It makes no problems for us if she's hired now or in the future. She can learn in the learning room so her lack of skills is not a problem. She is also in the same position as Mr. Barnes, logically she won't betray us since we are their protection, Master Chief."- I thought something similar.

"You will be under Emma and James, she is the head maid and James is my butler. Spark get her a P-Link. Natalia, Do you want to use the regen bath?"- Spark is on the same ranking as them... though recently he's been taking orders from the padawan, I wonder what's with that. 

"What's a regen bath?"

"It's a bath in a regeneration fluid. It can fix your conditioning and infertility problem."- But I don't know if it hurts to bathe while conscious.

"... Really?"- *Hic* Said Natalia while sobbing a little.

"...Yes. If you want you can do it after the girls are out, 2 hours should be enough."- Well the versions of her that I know of always wanted a family of her own. 

It wasn't long for the remaining of the extra hour of the girls to pass. My eyes finally switched from red... to blue. It was time to talk to the girls. 

{A/N:

Hello My readers!

Next chapter is about introductions and executions, after that we get a POV about the mess left in Russia; but it's possible that that will happen on the chapter after the next one. I will try to write about this quantity of words per chapter, but no promises. 

I hope you enjoy this chapter, there was no comedy but hopefully brighter days are coming for our characters. These characters are the ones that will be considered the main cast for the next 5 years or so of story time, of course there will be new ones from time to time and I will try to include a bunch of POVs. But technically I will end volume in the next three chapters or so (Maybe more I'm terrible at matching chapters with storytelling). No need to panic since I will probably take 1 week after the end of the volume and come back with more. So there won't be much of an interruption.}
