Chapter 588 - My Single-Eyed Snake (2/2)
”Then where are the bodies?”
”I fed them to the hungry,” Nik stated honestly, widening the gazes of the two in the room. Most of Nik's action had been under 'public' attention until he needed to feed Ignit, then, he would disable the cameras around him and create a spatial lock, a variant of the grinder, where Nik didn't cut flesh and other solid objects but invisible waves of energy to stop the connection of the local devices with any form of spying connections. ”Is there anything else?” Nik inquired as Nat spoke up with a scoff, ”You just admitted to murder, kid. That's some serious stuff.”
”And I should believe that both of you are saints?” Nik grinned, his eyes narrowing as both of them felt stifled while Nik interacted with Nick Fury's body and began to understand the situation. 'One android and... Woah, Nat is a superhuman, too? Let's see, damage to the reproductive system, too,' Nik could glean the major information just by the slightest interaction of his energy and since the neutral energy did not have any attribute, smell, or visuals, the contact and usage were without the knowledge of the duo. ”You want my help, correct?” Nik inquired as he leaned back, unwilling to admit that he had led Nick and S.H.I.E.L.D to him out of not having anything else to do during the vacation and who knew, he might find something of value in this organization after all.
”Yes, we do,” Nick nodded.
”Then where's your gratefulness. I haven't even asked for payment and you're pinning blames on me? I am an immature kid... I might just get angry,” If Nik's words didn't imply the threat he posed at the moment, then his physically shimmering violet pupils did as Nat almost lost her breath while Fury didn't need to breathe.

”Well, then.” Nik turned and smiled at Nick Fury, ”I'll wait for the pickup tomorrow afternoon. Our deal will remain intact, right?” Nik confirmed as Fury nodded with his eye closing in rest. The moment Nik closed the door, Natasha jumped onto defend herself as she hissed, ”I wasn't spying on them!” She said hurriedly, ”Just you.” She quickly walked up to the next door before Nik could open it and eyed him seriously. ”Just promise me you won't tell Mary or Anna anything!” She pleaded while biting her lips, as Nik tilted his head sideways, ”Have I exposed you until now, Aunt Nat?” Hearing his inquiry alongside the hottest whisper to her cheek ever, Natasha gulped and mechanically shook her head. ”Just like I said, it would be more fun if you want to watch us directly. I mean, of course, you'll be the one asking for permission from Mary... but from the only things she told me about you, which were more s.e.x.u.a.l than a horny dog finding a mate, I am sure, Mary would understand. Now, just keep your promise. Pick Anna up every evening and drop her off until I return.”
Suddenly, Nik leaned forward, cornering Natasha and dodging an instinctual knee towards his crotch before opening the door behind her. ”Huh?” Natasha's lips twitched as she fell while Nik stepped forward and—
”Aaaaghhhaaaahaaaaa!” As Ann and Cindy sang the cursed chorus, Asmodeus and Pure instantly shrieked within Nik's mind, ”Oh! They are singing it! Stahp them!”
”Hey,” Nik waved at them with a smile as he closed the door with Cindy and Anna waving towards him instantly. Looking at Nat standing up with a scowl, he muttered softly, ”Hey, next time you try to kick my crotch... I'll do the same thing, well, probably...” He then walked towards Anna and sat beside her while looking at the two girls singing. Most probably, Ann's craze for korean songs had subsided quite a bit after seeing the group of girls. With the girls now actually knowing about each other's possible identities without speaking of it explicitly, they had a great time for the afternoon before Mary had to leave for the reports once again and Ava leaving with Cindy and Natasha. In fact, both Ava and Cindy seemed to be on edge to state something but whenever they gazed towards Ann's direction, they stopped themselves.
For the rest of the day, Nik didn't utilize his time as he would normally do. Instead, he tried to pry open the space quite a lot but every time he did, Nik felt a slight change. A form of resistance that he had never felt before accompanist by a fierce, golden glow that continued to repair the fractures which Nik continued to introduce. Stopping now when he has a chance instead of stepping over the line of a strange entity that caused this phenomenon, Nik finally decided to rest. He would be gone for almost a week, three days, if he worked quickly, and then, he'll get what he needs from S.H.I.E.L.D. The next morning, as Nik packed his clothes within the Dream Core and kissed both, Mary and Ann, goodbye, he found a black sedan pulling in front of the entrance of the building.
Finally, as he left the apartment, he instantly heard Ann's voice m.o.a.ning inside his head. ”Aah~ I am already missing you!” She emphasized with the visual message of one of the times when she would mischievously present herself with legs spread apart.” Pursing his lips, Nik sent a few images of his own and left with a tearful farewell. ”Ah, my sweetheart. May we meet again!”
”It's just a week!” Mary's voice echoes blandly.
As Nik smirked and opened the door, he was finally surprised. After all, he hadn't paid attention to the vehicle himself, a mistake that he would keep in mind from now on. But still, he enjoyed the pleasant surprise nonetheless.
