S.H.I.E.L.D. and keeping promises

Agent Phil Coulson was waiting for me when I returned home, looking at him he's holding a folder, probably with my information to show me that he's been stalking me, he's accompanied by a female agent that's leaning against a black SUV, one look and you can clearly see facial features of Asian origin, you don't even need to read their minds to know that she is the specialist Melinda May, one of the few S.H.I.E.L.D. agents that has more black belts than Black Widow, fighting her would be a challenge just like Wolverine but with a different approach.

"*Yawn*... Im no longer a Lieutenant, you should know that agent Coulson, but what matters is that do you know what time it is, how long have you been waiting and who is she?" - While asking this in a tired manner my mind is working at full speed, feeling everyone that is with him, I can feel 4 people, 2 of them are in another building across the street and the last ones are in another floor of my apartment, they are here to observe me, reading their minds I learned that they have all entered my house, luckily they didn't find the duffle bag and the blueprints since I did a good work covering that but they left bugs to spy on me, normally it would take me some hours to find those but I already know where they are located.

"She is the agent Melinda May my partner and we have been waiting since dusk Mr. Price but can we talk?" - Well, let's try to see the good side, at least Coulson didn't ambush me inside my house unlike his boss but still I don't like my house being registered so I will get back, maybe in the future I could scare Fury in his house?

Although that could be dangerous since he has a Flerken.

"...Follow me, I need a coffee for this, you want some?" - He nodded while the agent May refused, seeing their answers I guide them to my home, reaching the door the duck tape that I left on it has been replaced in the same position, I will be disappointed of them otherwise.

"You already know my house, make yourself comfortable, I will be in the kitchen making coffee and tea." - I saw that Coulson didn't even flinch at my remark, hiding the fact very well in his face but no like it matters now, with that said I smirk at his intent and leave him in the living, heading to the kitchen to make coffee but not without linking my mind with Coulson, reading his memories about everything S.H.I.E.L.D. knows (at least someone of his level) and hearing what they are saying in their communications.

"We didn't leave any trace that we entered his house Coulson."

"He was trying to riles us to confirm his theory, but that smirk at the end show that he already knows."

It took me five minutes to finish the coffee and tea, I bring the cups, seeing that I bring some beverage we took seats in my table and what feel like an interrogation started.

"So what do you want?" - Obviously with me doing the questions.

"Mr. Price, I..."

"Jackson, call me Jackson, Mr. Price is how people address my father."

"Okay, so Jackson, I came here because we have two things to talk about, is that fine with you?"

"Yes but I must say, why you?"

"Excuse me?"

"Think about it, a member from your organization comes to me, I started questioning inmmediatly why me and started connecting the dots, the fact that I studied at Xavier's School many will interpret it that I'm a mutant, a mutant that under the teachings of the Professor X know how to control his powers and doesn't have superiority complex, add to that points that he also has military training, I don't want to sound arrogant but someone with that conditions is a good asset or weapon. I know of your organization thanks to the Professor, I also know about the relationship between both the X-Men and your organization, the professor doesn't reveal the powers of his students so now that make me think that you are here to assess my powers, as for your other thing... maybe employment?" - As soon as we meet I was thinking why they would be here, many ideas came to my mind and when I read their minds it only confirmed me some of my ideas while rejecting the worst of them, lucky me.

"But my main point is that it would have been better if they have send a beautiful woman, she could seduce me to talk, that way in the boring process of assessment I could flirt with her and have an eye candy." - With that said I turn to the agent May. - "You sure are a beautiful woman with that mature air around you making you more tempting but that ring in your finger is big no to me." - Honestly acting like this is pretty annoying to me but something necessary, with this it would be more difficult to associate my identity with my future alter ego, there's that and that acting like this would delete me from the candidates list of S.H.I.E.L.D. and even if doesn't delete me they would drop me at the end wich is good already.

(Careful with what you ask.) - Both of them think that at the same time, with a beautiful redhead coming to their minds at my remarks.

"I will keep your advice Jackson and yes, just like you analysed we are here to assess your powers and introduce you in our Index." - Hearing my analysis he said his objective, not like lying would be useful but he's more honest than Fury and that's why I honestly don't hate Coulson, the guy is pretty chill and good.

"Fine, not like my powers are the flashiest or the more destructive like another one, so no point hiding them." - With that said I started answering his questions about my powers but no showing them, the powers I told I was capable weren't the kind that you could show off, for the time we were finished the sun was rising and I having another sleepless night.

"Are you sure that you don't want to work for us?" - While Coulson and May were preparing to leave he keeps asking this, hopping for a change of mind.

"I already told you that I'm going to make my own company so no thanks."

"Well, if you change your mind, you know how to contact us." - Saying that Coulson leave his card on the table and finally left my house with the agent May quickly following.

*Sigh* I'm feeling tired and I want plop in my couch, close my eyes and sleep till night but the wicked doesn't rest and neither do I. I made my breakfast after that, followed by my workout routine to keep my body in optimal conditions, done without it I spent a lot of time cleaning the house from the bugs Coulson left me, I could do it in five minutes but it would have been to suspicious, after that I take a shower to refresh myself.

After getting dressed I disarm the bugs out of curiosity to see if they have something to reverse engineer but they don't, seeing that they are useless I throw all of them in the trash can, later I can make my own versions, finished with that I use my powers and hypnotize all the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents observing, they won't be able to see the real me, being only capable of seeing an illusion where I do my routine and other stuff related to the creation of my company.

Done with that I focus in the brainwaves of someone specific, the one who is the biggest underworld criminal in this city, Wilson Fisk, why? To erase a little bit of his memory, just about Betsy and Melvin, giving me time to get them to a safe house soon otherwise if I don't erase them from his mind he will have all of his criminals looking for them in NY something that is better to avoid. Seeing what the big guy has done make want to kill him or do something drastic with his mind but if I do that the city once again will be turned in a playground for the multiple criminals who want his empire, another thing that I can't do... at least for now.

Finished with the I leave my home heading to the library, I'm going to borrow a slow computer, I have a laptop but I haven't installed internet and even if I do S.H.I.E.L.D. will be monitoring everything, fucking S.H.I.E.L.D.

Arriving at the library I book a computer, using the computer I access the bank accounts of Fisk transferring half of the money to some ghost accounts I made while being part of the Navy, I didn't waste my time there, whenever I wasn't in a mission I was doing something beneficial for my future goal, the rest of the money I donated it to charity and foundations, with that done I erased my traces, now I have an astonishing amount of money, ten billions of dollars to be exact, enough money to finally start the PMC, now I only need a reputation to start recruiting.(A/N: I don't know if this is realistic, please forgive me if it isn't, also, I know that Kingpin has 40 billions in the comics but that's when he was in his best, now he is halfway to that, or was)

After that I start searching information about a country that I'm going to visit in a couple of weeks, after all, I promised Logan that I have a lead about his past and in that country I will found someone that has been manipulating Logan life, the very same person that is training Akihiro to fight Logan to the death, Romulus that's hiding in Madripoor, ironic, that place has being part of Logan history and is where I will help him retrieve it.

Done with my investigation I go back home where I plan my attack against Romulus and Daken, thinking about it I truly need an A.I., it would honestly make things much more easier allowing me to multitask, deciding about it I will do that when I have the time, later at night I leave to fight crime, stopping 2 assaults and one rape attempt, when returning home I make sure that there's nobody of S.H.I.E.L.D. or any similar organization this time, seeing that is safe I enter my house and sleep till noon.
