Alex Wayne POV

Almost three months have passed since our meeting with Mantis Brandt.

Genosha was finally coming into good diplomatic stability with the rest of the world.

Also, the technology of Genosha is advancing by leaps and bounds, having a girl with a genius level intelligence helps a lot.

During this time Mantis had gotten used to life in Genosha and was always in a good mood.

Fortunately, Darcy had taught her not to speak in the third person.

What bothered me was a meeting I had with the Council and the management head.

The meeting was about the need to have people in charge of protecting me.

I couldn't complain, since most of the people who were with me were members of the Council, and according to my management head, it was not a good idea for them to act as bodyguards.

In that meeting it was decided who would be my bodyguards.

Laura and Mantis were chosen.

Laura had no problem accepting, as for Mantis that girl was happy to help me.

It seems that now when I leave Genosha, they will be the ones to accompany me. Only if an unexpected event occurs, the others will be able to accompany me.

I am currently relaxing in the private pool of my mansion.

Little Illyana is happily swimming while playing with Mantis.

Wanda is sitting next to me and her pregnancy has already begun to show, to everyone's surprise she feels stronger and livelier.

Caressing her belly, I ask:

"Have you already decided on the baby's name?"

"Yeah, but I'll tell you once it's born" Wanda said with a smile.

Smiling, I gently stroke her hair as I think that this moment of peace is great.

New York

Natasha Romanoff POV

I'm heading to the SHIELD base to give a report on the London mission.

It took me more than three months to accomplish this mission.

As I drive to the base, I notice that two vehicles are following me.

I raise an eyebrow at this.

Smiling, I phone Fury.

"What's wrong, Romanoff?" Fury asked from the other end of the line.

"I'm being followed" I answered.

"I see, do you want me to send help?" Fury asked.

"No, I can take care of them, but activate the Hercules Protocol"

Cutting off the call, I look at my pursuers through the rearview mirror and when I see what they do, I curse them.

From the right window of one of the vehicles chasing me, a man pulls out a rocket launcher and pulls the trigger.

Moving the car to the side, I evade the attack. The rocket hit where it had been a few moments ago and produced a huge explosion.

Watching the explosion, I sped up to miss them but those guys were so persistent that it was hard to outrun them.
