Corn is Corn ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fury had a plan to replace the council.
I had a plan to avoid future misunderstandings; Fury didn't know this.
I trusted him to a large extent, but I didn't trust SHIELD, meaning in a way, I couldn't fully trust him, not like I trusted Bucky anyways, so to avoid always reading between the lines with him, I created my plan, one that worked with his plan very well.
His plan was to replace the council members one by one with agents of his choosing, mine? Was to put my own guy in the council so that I would have ears within SHIELD at all times.
Of course, my plan didn't end there; having one set of ears within an organization so big as SHIELD was, was not enough; I needed ears and eyes everywhere, the council was just my main priority.
So, while Fury deliberated how to replace each member of the council, I began making my moves by putting hundreds of mics and cameras within SHIELD in each and every single base, hiding them with a basic illusion that absorb the mana from the area effectively, keeping the mics and cameras hidden 24/7.
It took me a while, two weeks to be precise, which considering how many bases I had covered during that span of time, was surprisingly quick, all thanks to my [Technomancy], my [Telekinesis] and my [Eldritch Illusion], skills that allowed me to install the things I needed within the bases while keeping them hidden without actually entering the bases myself.
Now, all I had to do was wait for Fury to contact me and do the rest.
Was I happy I was going to brainwash someone? No, I wasn't, but after what I had found about the council, this was the next best thing, which was basically putting SHIELD within my hands on a silver platter.
"Daddy!" Emily said, walking into my room as I finished setting up the database that would hold all the files my cameras and mics within SHIELD would send me.
"Yes, princess?" I asked, turning to look at her with a smile.
"I was wondering if you wanted to spend the day with us; I mean, you are always working, so I thought... You know," Emily smiled, fidgeting her two index fingers together.
I smiled, kissing her on the forehead, "Sure, what did you girls have in mind?"
"Well..." Emily grinned, putting on a gas mask; why was she putting on a gas masl
As I pondered over that, Nat shouted "Disney!" blasting into my room ninja style with a smoke bomb and all.
"Was that necessary?" I asked, coughing.
"Of course," Nat nodded, "Why else would I have asked uncle Bucky from some military graded ninja bombs?"
I frowned, "Bucky!" I called.
"Sup," Bucky came, a few seconds after I called for him, wearing the typical Disney fanatical outfit most people wear when going to Disney; he had the Mickey Mouse shorts, the Micky Mouse shirt, and the Micky Mouse hat.
"I... why?" I asked, pointing at his outfit.
"The girls said they were going to ask you, and knowing you and how they have you wrapped around their fingers, I just accepted the inevitable and dressed for the occasion," Bucky replied with a shrug, "Also, Emily hid my clothes, leaving me only Disney related clothes..."
I turned to Emily, "Why?"
"Because he looks adorable!" Emily smiled, nodding as if that was a fact.
"Ok..." I chuckled.
"Wait until you check your closet," Bucky snorted.
"What?" I blinked, opening my closet with my telekinesis, and like Bucky, I had nothing inside; seeing this, I turned around to see Nat and Emily holding some Disney-related clothes at my face with beaming smiles, "No,"
"Daddy!" Emily pouted.
"We just want goofy pictures, pun intended, for the future!" Nat smiled, "Pleaseee, for usss..."
"Girls, this is not the way of asking for something... this is basically extortion," I replied with a sigh.
"So... we will be the only ones dressed in cute clothes?" Emily pouted, looking down.
"I suppose we will, sis," Nat pouted as well.
I frowned; Nat didn't pout, "You two are terrible," I laughed, "Fine, you cute manipulators, I will dress for the occasion,"
"Yeih! Extortion rules!" Emily giggled, jumping into my arms giving me a hug.
"Hell yeah!" Nat chuckled.
"Weak," Bucky snorted.
"Really?" I snorted, looking at him.
"I didn't cave so fast; I lasted two whole extra minutes," Bucky grinned.
"Bah, you still caved," Nat snorted.
"I pity those that will date the two of you," Bucky sighed.
Emily gasped, "Daddy! Uncle Bucky is talking about sinning!"
"Bucky, what have we talked about?" I smiled.
"No talks about dating or possible dating until the girls reach their 90s?" Bucky chuckled.
"Last boy that flirted with me got lost in Canada," Nat sighed.
"That wasn't me," It truly wasn't.
"Sureeeeee...." Nat nodded, narrowing her eyes at me.
"Baby, if I had been involved in it, the boy would've been lost in the moon," I winked at her.
"I... true," Nat chuckled.
"Don't worry, daddy, every boy that tries to flirt with me, I kick him right between the... you know, and they never flirt with me again," Emily nodded proudly.
"One of them changed schools," Nat added.
"Odd, I wonder why the school hasn't called me about that," I hummed.
"I dealt with it," Bucky said, cocking his shotgun; wait, where the fuck did he get a shotgun from? Oh wait, he has guns everywhere in the house for moments like this and intruders.
"Oh, any problems with that?" I asked.
"Well, the principal only recommended her to say no, instead of that, but I provided proof boys sometimes don't take no as an answer, and that pain it's the only way to make the message clear, and well, after a long debate, I told the principal you would donate more money to the school if she... ignored that, and well, here we are," Bucky sighed, "Emily and Nat now have ball kicking privileges,"
"How much do I have to pay?" I asked.
"2 million," Emily replied.
"Meh, it's worth it," I shrugged; ball kicking privileges were indeed worth the money.
