Vibranium (chapter 45)

prevously in chapter 44

Inside what seemed to be a waiting area in a secluded hospital, Coulson and his team, minus Skye, could be seen waiting solemnly. As a doctor appeared, Coulson was the first to speak. "How is she doing?" The doctor remained quiet for a second before saying, "Not good. The two gunshots penetrated both her small and large intestine. We resected what we could, but the damage is too much," earning a sigh from the team as Coulson asked again, "What can we do?" The doctor replied, "We can keep her comfortable, but the choice is yours, whether to keep her on life support or to let her go," which silenced the team as the doctor left them to make their choice.

That's when Coulson picked up a phone before speaking to an agent. "Get me to Director Fury," he demanded, but the agent spoke on the other side of the phone, saying something that infuriated Coulson, who said, "The message is that an agent is dying, and I want answers," as he hung up the phone. "It's my fault. I shouldn't have let her go after Ian Quinn in the first place. What was I thinking?" Fitz blamed himself as Ward said, "It's not your fault. She shouldn't have been there in the first place," looking at Coulson, who said, "I might have an idea of who can help her," which earned a surprised look from the team except for Agent May, who said, "You are not thinking about him, are you?" she asked as Coulson sighed.

"He is the only one who can," to which May replied, "Yeah, and he's going to demand a ridiculous price. Remember we sent swarms of swat agents after him after we lured him into a trap." That's when the team finally understood whom they were talking about. "He is the only way," Coulson replied as Ward then interjected, "Then I am coming," to which Coulson didn't answer.

In a large clearing in the middle of an unknown forest far from Henry's base, Henry could be seen leaning against a black SUV as a large plane landed. The plane had the logo of a bird on it. The moment the plane landed, a couple of people got off the plane, including Coulson and his team, all of them minus Skye. They quickly arrived in front of Henry, who didn't speak first, and Coulson and his team didn't seem too happy to needlessly chat either, so Coulson got to the point, "You brought what I asked?" to which Henry replied, "You brought what I asked?" Coulson looked at May, who then stepped forward and showed him a block of black and purple metal, which she didn't allow Henry to touch, only to look at.

"It's your turn," May said, to which Henry replied by reaching for his pocket, which caused all of the agents to flinch and take out their guns. Henry didn't even acknowledge them as he took out a vial full of green liquid.

[ Name: Essence of Intestinal Rejuvenation ]

[ Grade: 4th ]

[ Description: The Essence of Intestinal Rejuvenation is a potent liquid derived from the essences of various anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics, probiotics, aminosalicylates, biologics, nutritional support compounds, growth factors, cytokines, stem cell therapies, pain relief medications, and surgical aids.

May then took the vial at the same time as Henry took the block of metal, before handing it over to Simmons, who was wearing a pair of green goggles. She used them to look at the vial before taking a sample of it. "What is it made out of, Simmons?" Coulson asked as he continued to stare at Henry, who was looking at the metal with interest. "Sir, this is a concoction of various anti-inflammatory drugs, such as antibiotics, probiotics, aminosalicylates, biologics, nutritional support compounds, growth factors, cytokines, stem cell therapies, pain relief medications, and surgical aids." Coulson then asked Henry, "And you're sure this can heal her?" Henry replied, "Are you asking me if I enhanced it using my powers?" Henry chuckled as he quoted the "power" part, but Coulson's team didn't seem to be in the mood to laugh.

So Henry just sighed as he said, "Well, you said you didn't want Extremis, so I made a drug to specifically heal her." Coulson then gave Simmons and Fitz a look before they ran to the plane, while Coulson, May, and Ward stared at Henry, who didn't seem to be afraid of the fact that he was surrounded by S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. A couple of minutes later, a running Simmons and Fitz arrived. "Sir, she is recovering, and fast," Simmons said happily, as Coulson, Ward, and May sighed in relief before they quickly turned their attention to Henry, who finally decided to stop looking at the metal.

"What? You thought I would give you guys poison? That brings me no benefit," he said as he opened the door to his SUV. "I didn't think you would want the trade. What changed?" May asked Henry, who stopped and said, "Benefits, May, benefits," before entering the car and driving away. With care for Coulson and his team, May asked, "How did you know he would accept the trade?" Coulson turned around and said, "Benefits, May, benefits," causing May to groan as they all returned to the plane. "Is the tracker planted?" Coulson asked May, who didn't answer but affirmed, "He is going to notice, you know that, right?" to which Coulson just smiled.

-scene change-

Back at his home, a happy Henry could be seen, much to the displeasure of Terry, and the reason was simple. Right after taking Limitless and hacking into S.H.I.E.L.D., he discovered that there was a secret nation of black people in Africa, far more advanced than any country or secret organization. This secret nation, which hid itself from the world, was called Wakanda, and they had a main resource unique to their own called vibranium, a nearly indestructible element.

What made this metal unique was that in pure mass, vibranium forms a solid metal that is stronger than steel but only a third of the weight, as well as being completely vibration absorbent. This makes the material nearly indestructible, as any attempt to physically damage it will be negated on a molecular level as mechanical/kinetic energy will be absorbed instead of breaking any bonds in its molecular matrix. Meaning that this metal was the best material for his main weapon. "It can even redirect kinetic energy," he smiled to himself, "and I got this material using a tier 4 fucking potion." This was why he didn't attack Coulson and his team despite their enmity. He hated them, yes, but the profit far outweighed his hatred, meaning that he had to put it aside for now.

"Now all I have to do is create my main weapon, but I can't just change the state of matter of the vibranium and be done with it. Maybe I can try and combine it with different elements?" he pondered as he tossed the metal up, but realizing the limited quantity he had made him realize something. "Well, looks like I don't have any choice," he muttered to himself as he made something out of the vibranium. "Well, anyways, I need to prepare the new hideout," he smiled to himself as he teleported to his second hideout, which was inside an abandoned bunker.

Henry stood in the middle of his new bunker hideout, looking around the large, empty space with dim, flickering lights casting eerie shadows on the walls. He thought to himself, "Oh, I can just envision—" but before he could finish, the sharp sound of a suppressed pistol shot echoed through the room. A sudden, searing pain blossomed in his chest. His survival instincts kicked in, and he immediately bit down on an Extremis pill between his teeth.

A/N well, its happening, i am not going to tell you what, but its again so be prepared for it.

Ps: I recently had to do some reassessment on Henry, his goals, enemies and what he needs to do to deal with them and come up with contingency plan to defeat them and I was wondering what do you guys think of Henry's personality, is he selfish, is he mongrell is he narrow minded, just one word to describe him.
