Luxury of choice (2)

Winston felt raging building up inside him after a long time. He had never felt like this since he died in his last life. He felt as if he was back to that day, no matter how much he trained, no matter how much strength he is, he is unable to save everyone. Even today. He unintentionally released some of his power and grabbed Nobu at the throat and lifted him up.

-I originally wanted to teach you a lesson just by killing you, as the devil of hell's kitchen has yet to emerge, but giving low lives like you a second chance proves to be only disastrous.

-*Choking* What..... do..... you... mean?

Without answering Winston readied his hand in a chopping posture and chopped from backhanded posture at Nobu's neck with his bare hand. With sheer force, Nobu got decapitated as his head rolled on the ground and body fell at the ground as a lifeless object and spraying blood everywhere. There is no coming back of him this time.

Seeing the other kid decapitating Nobu made even Natasha nauseous. She too killed many people, actually too many people to keep count. But never in her life, she killed with such brutality. She is simply incapable of doing so physically.

Right after killing Nobu the boy jumped and went through the roof, he landed just beside the one who was stayed behind at the rooftop.

-I am sorry, Marc. I was wrong for not listening to you.

The newcomer said. The other one answered,

-It's not your fault, even I couldn't anticipate such self-destructive move.

-Wow, you two are actual brothers?!

Natasha asked.

-Twins, actually.

The supposed elder one answered without looking towards Natasha.

-Then you are Marc, I am Natasha Romanoff. And what is your name, little brother of Marc?

For the first time, they turned towards Natasha and looked at her for a few seconds. She couldn't see their eyes due to the visor or their facial expression due to the metallic mask, nonetheless, she couldn't shake off the feeling that they are seeing through her very soul. The supposed younger one said to me looking at the building we have our men stationed,

-We don't have time to make small talk now, Black Widow. You have a lot of manpower ready I see. Can you help us evacuating one of the sites?

-Wait, you are going to jump into that fire alone, both of you? Even if you are super strong, I don't believe you are not burnable. Even last time when you saved those trafficked people at the abandoned port, it was too dangerous. You are being just too much emotional and impulsive, kids. The world doesn't rest on your shoulder.

She tried to dissuade them, there is no point throwing life away at a lost cause. From her point of view, by the time they would arrive a lot of life would be lost, the amount of life they would save risking their lives was 50 at best. Was it really worth it?

Next, something happened that she expected the least to happen. No, she never even thought such a thing could happen. The younger one knelt down to sprinting posture, but instead of starting a run he jumped.... really high. She knew they are super strong, so they could probably jump very high, but even after 5 seconds he didn't come down and continued to gain altitude. And after that, he started to change direction in mid-air. It took even few more seconds to realize that HE WAS FLYING!!!!!

The boy went towards the arson site to the west. In probably a few more seconds, he arrived at the site. From her position, she only saw that after the boy's supposed arrival time, the fire started to go down at a visible rate. She didn't know what happened, but she would be a retard to not realize that person is responsible for such development.

The elder brother said to her,

-Like I said before, Natalia Alianova Natasha Romanova, You don't know anything, don't understand anything.... yet. Things that you see, don't see, hear, don't hear. You guys are simply not qualified to negotiate with us. You talk about protecting the humanity right? Why don't you show that you are at least capable of saving people trapped in some measly fire, without our help? If you can prove you are worthy of lending a hand, we shall make contact when the time is right...

Saying that he too flew towards the arson site in the south, and just like before, after few seconds the fire died down. Natasha dropped down on her knees. What are they actually? Gods playing as human?

SHIELD headquarter

-How much are the collateral damages?

Asked Fury in a furious and chilly tone. Agent Hill answered,

-3 building at the west, 2 at the south and 5 at the east side of the China down was burned. 4 at the eastern site completely destroyed. Damage at the west and south was minimal aside from initial explosion, mainly due to.... supposed ice-making breath from our target. They came flying in and And release a breath so cold that the blazing inferno was covered with a layer of ice instantly, saving hundreds of lives. They didn't stop there as they continued to take out trapped personals in those building with inhuman speed. Due to their timely help, aside from injured and dead from the initial explosion, there were no causalities. At the west and south side from the point of conflict. The eastern site didn't fare so well, as our SHIELD personals took about 15 minutes to reach the site, and start the rescue operation. about 10 was trapped and burned alive, 50 more severely burned and taken to the hospital. 2 third of them are not expected to make it. About 100 more have small burn injury and injury from trying to to get out of the buildings in haste.

-How about the media? Incident so big and glamorous can't be put under the rug, I suppose.

- About the incident itself, the majority think of an organized terrorist attack. About the ice breathing brothers, they are mainly portraying our targets as both a miracle and a menace, some even saying that they are the true reason the fire broke out.

-How does that even work?

-Some of the conspiracy theorists apparently think they want to portray themselves as gods of the modern world and thus made such a show.

-I can't blame them, seeing what they can do, reminds me of Carol in every way.

Right at that moment, Fury's special phone rang, which showed the caller name as "Diana Prince".

-Finally, some good news.

Fury said with relief.
