Coulson POV
They….are alive! How are they alive? Why are they alive? Will they stay like this forever? can we help them? Do we kill them? How could those monsters do something like this? why are they so cruel?
"…..Couls…..Coulso...COULSONNN!"
"Ah! Yes?"
"Are you back yet?" Asked the magician or the curse user or the Jujutsu sorcerer as he calls himself while shaking my shoulders.
I nodded my head with difficulty as I wiped my face with a handkerchief, that was unethical of me, to freeze in panic and hysteria in face of an adversity, I am a Shield agent for god's sake Damn it!
"It's alright Coulson, in fact I haven't seen a person who can snap out of it so easily, you are definitely worth looking into," The guy smiled as he looked behind me totally ignoring the grotesque site of humans strung up like decoration pieces to the wall.
I looked back to see everyone else on the floor, some in despair, others in denial and some had wet their pants.
Coulson heaved a sigh of relief as he looked at himself, seeing that the agents were rather fine, he put his thoughts back in the game, looking around, he could feel and see the weird atmosphere as he looked around.
"Where is the-"
"It's here," The magician replied before I could speak further as he punched at the wall.
A screeching wail sounded that sent chills down my spine, behind me, the other agents were already unconscious, I wasn't much better either as I felt a splitting headache at the back of my head.
"Its-its the whole building!" I asked in surprise as I took out my gun.
"No, it's this room specifically,"
The magician smiled as he looked at me, he also looked around in his pocket, pulling out a few magazines.
"Take'em, they are cursed bullets, much more effective than the normal ones, curses cannot be completely killed unless cursed objects are used against them,"
"No one knows when they might spring back up," the magician completed, though he turned around again and motioned at his head.
"Try and aim at the head, that's the best bet at killing them, remember not to hesitate when you get the chance or the curse might kill you," he reminded me again.
If it was before, I might have felt offended by his treatment, treating me like a rookie.
But looking at the groaning humans on the ceiling and in the walls, knowing they are in pain and I can't save them, I guess I can swallow and learn from him.
I pushed my glasses up as we went further, the knocked-out agents had been safely escorted back by the ones that had woken up following Fury's advice upon seeing the unusual phenomenon.
To tell the truth, I feel rather annoyed by Fury's constant bickering in my ears, sadly I can't take them off without valid reason.
"Don't get distracted!" The magician admonished me, I could only smile awkwardly, feels like I am back in the old days.
We walked forward for a while before The magician did a stop sign, I readied my gun and stood beside him.
I knew that the curse was covering the whole building, but didn't know how to look for it, the magician told me that to kill a cursed spirit, one needs to be patient and have the guts to handle the crazy.
The crazy in me was tested when suddenly the whole room started to crack, that's when one of poor men hanging from the ceiling wailed in agony before his whole friggin spine flew out of his body and was sent flying at us at an incredible speed.
Though before it could impale me, the magician simply took out a sword out of nowhere and the spine shattered into pieces.
I took a big gulp and held in the vomit as I looked at the hollow spineless, literally spineless man as his eyes stared directly into me.
Though I guess nature was ready to play a cruel joke at me when the supposed dead man suddenly spoke.
"HuMAaan! EaaaT!"
"Wh-"
"I guess our luck is really good Agent Coulson," the magician, Tom Warden spoke as he smiled at me.
"This isn't a 3rd grade, but a second grade curse,"
Tom then proceeded to cut apart the corpse as he shredded the man into nothing
"This is what a curse is, a complete unnatural abomination that will stop at nothing to tire your mind, mince you into meat and eat you, curses are the enemies of mankind," Tom Warden spoke as he took out few more of the humans that were possessed.
'This is …..too cruel!'
