CHAPTER - XXIV

"I see, you came for Kamala didn't you?" asked Natasha.

"Yes I came for her, that fool seriously loves to get herself in danger" said Derek.

Natasha : "Are you saying that for you or her Derek" she smiled in mockery at Derek, he just rolled his eyes at Natasha's mockery, she always teased him about how reckless he was and still is, he won't deny it.

Derek : "I told Hank I'd take care of her, he didn't seem to take me seriously."

Nat : "He did, it's just that you would escape, with the help of other inhumans, while they become the distraction I would infiltrate" smirked Derek

Derek : "No Tiny Dancer"

Nat raised an eyebrow at the name he said, "You figured it out"

Derek lifted his shoulders "I already had an idea from what Kamala said, and when you informed us of the attack on Stark's mansion, it gave me more clues, plus that was the name you used when you were training me and no one else knew it except for me"

Natasha : "You've learned well Derek, but I'll be honest with you, I would have preferred you wouldn't have come here, That Monica bitch is obsessed with you, she thinks you were the key to take those adaptoids to another level"

Natasha : "I've been trying to gather all the information I could about how shady AIM is and its involvement's, and steal their technology, not to mention I've been blocking any information she would seek about you, if she manages to capture you I don't know what will become of you."

"And I'm clear on that Natasha, but I wasn't planning on leaving Kamala, with that crazy woman knowing what she'll do to her" said Derek in resolution "besides I didn't come without having a way to deal with those adaptoids",

Natasha : "I see, I won't try to change your mind Derek, just be careful" without another word she started to take off the AIM watcher card.

*Gulp*

Derek took a gulp, seeing Natasha's spectacular figure in her classic Black Widow outfit that highlighted her already large breasts and ass, (Damn puberty, damn hormones), shaking off those thoughts before he knew it, "Well, let's go rescue Kamala"

"Wait before that let me see your weapons, I'll upgrade them" Nat stopped and looked at Derek doubtfully,

"What!" she voiced not realizing she said it with her Russian accent

"Well you could say my powers evolved by a large margin after you left two years ago" Derek said as he closed his eyes, unable to see the look of regret she made and a second later he was back to normal keeping his gaze cold.

"Just give them to me, and in a few minutes you will see the changes", giving him the Glock 26 pistols, tonfas and bracelets (Stingers), starting with the Glock 26 pistols that had already been modified and customized for faster shots in succession or piercing.

He improved the durability by compressing the metal and using a mixture of gold and titanium so it would hold the ricochet of each shot without hurting the wearer

Derek wanted to use absorbent metal along with a reactor for energy shots but they didn't have that much time, With the double tonfas that were two sets but could be joined together and become something like a Bo Staff that gives electric shocks

He replaced some parts with absorbing metal so they could last longer when joined into one and separately could be used as immobilizers of electric shocks strong enough to affect most synthezoids, for the bracelets (Stingers) the only thing he did was improve the section where the discharges originate to increase and absorb the energy allowing more versatility.

Derek : "Take with this one we have more possibilities and this is something personal, it will help you a lot as it's made of an alloy that I created with my powers nd btw I call it absorbent metal."

"It will absorb all energy attacks up to a certain limit before breaking or exploding depending on the energy or function it establishes, Be very careful with them I haven't had the time to give it more functions like the ones I gave to Kamala but it will protect you" said Derek giving her some gauntlets perfectly attached to the bracelets (stingers) she had given him, Nat started to check his weapons each one feeling their balance and weight, while she did that Derek saw their state.

Derek was very surprised to see her state thanks to Observe, it was the first time he saw someone with so many skills, although it was the first time he used it on a living being, but his surprise was not because of the skills, every time he saw the skills Nat had he realized for everything he had been through, he was getting angry, he just closed his eyes trying to calm down.

(System at what level is Observe)

TING

'"At the moment you've used it on Black Widow it went up to level 5 allowing you to see more of the exact status of the person's basic stats and level of the skills.""

(I see, each skill had two question marks or one, if you compare it with mine, then one ? sign is level 1 to 9 and two ? signs is level 10 or max level)

"Haa no time for that" he said to himself without her hearing him, after five minutes Natasha was already equipped again, pistols on each thigh, tonfas behind her hips and her new gauntlets attached to her bracelets (Stingers).

"I'm ready" she said stepping to Derek's side, "If we keep going through this maintenance section we'll get to Monica's lab, maybe Kamala could be there."

"I know, since I came in Lucy has been scanning the place and creating a map where the Inhumans should be, along with Kamala and Monica" said Derek, as Lucy waved one of her paws in greeting, "Then we know where to go and..." Nat couldn't say more as she was interrupted.

-ATTENTION, THE TRANSFER OF THE INHUMANS HAS STARTED.

"We need to move now, whatever you have planned put it into action right now" Nat shouted starting to run and jump shooting the hook on her wrist to gain speed propelling herself and get to the other side of the maintenance room before it closed, Derek quickly followed her in a blur of speed but by the time she got there it had already closed.

"Damn, it's going to take me some time to open this door even with the security codes he put in last year without those idiots noticing" Natasha cursed.

Derek : "I could force the door but they would notice us and that would make them move the inhumans with greater speed, Lucy it's your turn to take action, connect to the command center of this section, and open the way for us please."

Lucy: "Understood Derek, I'll take over."

Lucy climbed off Derek's shoulder reaching the control panel, using her paws she connected, manipulating the codes she had installed Nat quickly opened a hatch.

Lucy: "That hatch will take you through the pipes to Monica's lab🧪."

Disconnecting, Lucy returned to Derek's shoulder, Nat and he followed the path Lucy marked out for them, until they got almost to the end and saw that the pipes were heading down, with no other choice they jumped, dodging a few floors, Derek controlled his body to move closer to her, grabbing a princess bag from her waist

"What do you think you're doing" she growled.

"Picking up the pace" he said not letting her go, even though he didn't want to do that himself, "Lucy tell me how many meters away we have to land and in which direction."

Lucy: "30 meters to go and you should move to your left."

Derek did as she mentioned and hit the wall with his feet increasing the speed of his fall, being ten meters away he covered his body with absorbent metal and using [ Adamantine Kata: Iron Fingers ]

*Iron Fingers: It is a technique that tightens the muscles of the fingers and strengthens the joints. It is a versatile technique that can be used to strike the vitals, also for grabs, and even allow movement of broken fingers.*.

Stiffening his fingers to the limit he grabbed the left side of the wall creating sparks on his descent until he reached and let go again, falling with Natasha in one arm, she released her grip quickly looking at where they had fallen.

"Adaptoids? They're still in their first phase, they're just like the one I faced with Tony" Derek was very surprised to see even a bunch of adaptoids assembling.

Natasha : "Yes they are, but not as strong as the one you faced, the one you faced was a prototype of the adaptoids that captured Kamala" .

Derek stared thoughtfully as his lips curved into a smile, "Come on don't stare, we don't have that luxury" said Nat.

Derek : "Nat, you know I learned a few tricks these past two years."

Natasha : "What do you mean"

"Just look, I can already imagine Monica's face" without answering her Derek touched one of the Adaptoids already assembled saving it in his inventory and doing the same with the rest

"Once we get out of here we need to talk" said Nat still lost watching as each Adaptoid Derek touched disappeared as if it had never been there.

(Inventory is OP, system have someone ever told you that you are the best)

TING

[ NO HOST ]

(Then I'll say it now you're the best I could have wished for)

Derek, started to run at full speed, Adaptoid he touched disappeared without a trace, 10 minutes passed and there was none to be seen in the whole area, not even the machines and components that were used in the creation were spared there was only a large generator in the empty area.

Lucy: "Derek, Natasha you must be careful, crossing that door is Monica in her lab."

Lucy told them creating a small hologram, showing them what was happening on that side through the cameras, the first thing they saw was Monica and even an adaptoid taking the corpse of an inhuman with whom she had experimented until ending his life.

"Damn, if only I had been faster" Derek clenched his fist tightly,

Natasha reached over and touched her man, "Derek get a grip, I know seeing this upsets you and me too, but you have to learn that we can't save everyone, In this job you are always going to see innocent lives lost and loved ones hurt, you will never get used to this, but we can learn from our mistakes be better and not repeat them, I can only tell you that I am not good at comforting others."

"You suck at it Nat" Derek smiled at Nat's attempt to comfort him, he knows very well that despite that cold and strong woman attitude, with her partners and loved ones, she's someone who would not hesitate to give her life for the ones she loves.
