Chapter 49

Chapter 49.

- So, by the looks of it, you have a way to track down this Jonathan, am I right? - I turned to Daisy after I'd finished studying the information.

- Of course, S.H.I.E.L.D. isn't stupid. As soon as we got our hands on him, we implanted a tracking chip in him without his knowledge. To tell you the truth, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s been after him for a week now, but to no avail. Once we surround him, he attacks our agents with stolen weapons and then escapes through the portals. Eventually it was decided to leave the job to special agents. So Fury chose us.

- Hmm, what kind of weapon is that? I was wondering what you were hiding from me.

- Huh, I knew you'd ask that. Here, the data's on a flash drive. - She threw me a data storage device, which I immediately plugged into my laptop and began to study the data.

As it turned out, S.H.I.E.L.D. had developed a powerful weapon from the remains of Thor's destroyed Destroyer, and it was this weapon that Jonathan had stolen.

- So, where do we find this man, and when do we start the mission? - I finally got to the important part.

- According to our tracker, Jonathan is now in southeastern New York, in one of the abandoned hangars.

- Yeah, why are they all drawn there? It's the easiest place to catch them when they figure it out.

- I don't know, you can ask them yourself. Let's go now.

- Okay, now is now. - I shrugged and followed Daisy to the parking lot, where we got into the SUV and finally drove to our destination...

***

- Haa, if we had just flown it would have taken a lot less time. - I voiced my complaint after an hour of driving in traffic.

- Flying is too conspicuous, if he spots us he'll quickly teleport away.

- We could have just landed somewhere farther away and walked the rest of the distance. Anyway, it doesn't matter now. We go in quietly, without making our presence known. You hide somewhere, I'll knock him out.

- Hmm, it's not as easy as you think. - Daisy replied skeptically.

- Well, we'll see what happens.

I opened the car door and started walking towards the warehouse, becoming invisible along the way.

- What?!? You can be invisible!? - Daisy exclaimed in shock.

- Quiet, you idiot! You'll give us away! There's nothing wrong with that.

- I'm not stupid! - Daisy exclaimed again.

- How do you guys keep finding me?! Fucking S.H.I.E.L.D. You can't catch me that easily! - came a voice from upstairs.

- Looking up, I saw a black portal with a head sticking out of it. The next moment it was gone, and a yellow beam of energy flew out of the portal and straight at Daisy.

- WARNING! - I shouted, and jumped towards the girl, thus rolling to the side with her and avoiding the shot.

- BOOM! - There was an explosion, and then we were showered with dust and dirt. I kept blocking Daisy's body in case the attack happened again. But a few seconds passed and nothing happened.

- Haa, he must have escaped again. He must have had tracking systems in here. I screwed up. - Daisy grinned.

Lowering my gaze, I realized that my left hand was squeezing Daisy's breast. The girl noticed it too, but she didn't say anything. I wasn't that perverted, though, so I quickly pulled it away.

- Uh, sorry about that. I didn't mean it.

- It's okay, you were saving me. Consider it payment for saving me. - she started to get up off the ground and shake herself off.

- Hey, do we have to catch him alive? Or is his corpse okay? - I started walking to the car to get my tablet and find out where he ran off to.

- No. We don't need him alive, because if we do, he'll get away easily. Our priority is getting the experimental weapon back. You saw how powerful it is. - The girl pointed to a two-meter funnel.

- Yes, it's almost as powerful as my chest repulsor. - I nodded, and then I pulled out my tablet and looked for Jonathan.

As it turned out, he had teleported to Long Island, to Flax Pond Beach. According to the data, it was quite remote from civilization, so almost no one went there.

- So, Daisy, since it's a long way to Flax Pond, you stay here. I'll go there alone, kill it and come back with a gun.

- But this is a team mission! - The girl resented me, thinking I was a burden.

- Yes, it's a team mission, and you don't have to attack both of them. Here better sit in the car and keep an eye on his location, if he suddenly runs away somewhere, agreed? - I handed her the tablet.

- Okay, all right. I'll listen to you this time. - The girl frowned, and then took the tablet and got into the car.

Quickly transforming the suit, I flew to the place I was looking for. To be more precise, I landed in New Haven, and there, submerged under water, began to move toward Flax Pond. I did it all so the bug wouldn't see me.

Three minutes later, I was already not far from the right place. Once again activating invisibility, I stepped onto the shore and began to walk stealthily toward the trees, in the shadow of which Jonathan was. There was no point in approaching him, because he could hear my footsteps. Firing the repulsors was also inappropriate. After all, before firing, they would charge up, and that process would be accompanied by a rather loud sound, which he would immediately detect. At this point I regretted a little that I hadn't brought my weapon with me, but suddenly a brilliant idea came to me. I picked up a small round stone from the ground, and with a good aim I launched it at the enemy's head with all my might.

The stone flew at such a speed that the friction made the sound of tearing air. It sounded like the scream of a banshee. Jonathan didn't even have time to blink before his head was shattered like a ripe watermelon on the ground.

- Ha, I wish you'd just give up, you bastard. You made me run. - I laughed happily and started walking toward the decapitated corpse.

- You could have punctured his heart and left his head intact. It is useful for us! - At that moment, Venom's voice, which was usually silent, sounded a bit displeased.

- Ha, what's the use of her? I'd rather rob a few vaults at night and get us a lot of phenothylamine than collect it piece by piece from the heads. - I disagreed with her, and then I found the stolen weapon.

With that, my mission was over. So I took a blood sample from the corpse to find out the nature of his abilities, and then grabbed the leg and flew back to Daisy, while throwing the corpse into the sea to feed the fish....
