Chapter 627 - Reptilian Strike (2/2)

Unwilling to ponder on the situation further, Maria began her task while Phil began contacting his team.

”Hmmgh~!” Pressing her palms against the bed and stretching back akin a cat, Cindy slowly sat up. Her nose twitched by the overflowing scent as she heard her communicator vibrate again. Crawling above Nik and Anna while still feeling slightly dizzy, Cindy picked her communicator from the floor and received the call.

”Cindy? Is this a good time to ask you to save the city from a giant lizard?” Coulson's slightly hurried greeting set Cindy into a stammering reply, ”Uh, hmm, yeah, coming. I'll bring Nik.”

”He's with you? Good, just ask him for now. Better yet, can you hand him the communicator?” Coulson inquired as Cindy looked back, finding two n.a.k.e.d bodies on her bed. Blushing at the sight of Nik and Anna hugging each other, Cindy coughed before poking Nik's shoulder, ”Hey, it's Agent Coulson,” she whispered while covering the mic of her communicator as Nik opened his eyes and looked at Cindy before sighing and sitting up with a soft grunt,

Taking the communicator from her hand, Nik adjusted his mind and checked in, ”If it isn't my agent. What's the gig?” He inquired while snapping his fingers as an Anna shaped portal opened above her before it covered her, sending Anna in between her bed and sheets back in her apartment while Coulson replied with a sigh, ”Heroes are not Divas.”

”Why not? We show up, we dazzle, and then we skedaddle. Anyway, I feel happy so I am coming regardless of the situation. Of course, I won't be staying if it's too generous.”

”And here I thought you turned out to be a hero, after all,” Coulson mumbled, ”Near Daily Bugle. I am sending Cindy the location and why were both of your cell phones switched off?”

”We'll meet you there!” Nik chortled before cutting off the call.

”Can you handle it?” Nik inquired as he tossed the communicator to Cindy before a white slime-like substance formed over him and then turning into casual clothes once again.

”What?” Cindy exclaimed in surprise as she pulled her bedsheets to cover herself only to realize the condition of her room.

”This place is a mess!” Cindy mumbled sourly as Nik nodded, ”It better be. Did you know how crazy we got?” Snickering, he stood up from the bed and pointed at her suit which was clearly in a need to be scrubbed clean. ”It reached farther than that.”

Lowering her head as the earlier play erupted within her mind, she inquired pitifully, ”What are we going to do? I can't clear this all up without my parents knowing about us!”

”Wouldn't that be your problem?” Nik inquired while slowly cleaning up the bed, clearly enjoying the look on Cindy's face as she pursed her lips with a sour expression, ”If you want me to never talk to you again, then it's 'our' problem. Besides, Mum doesn't like me getting into a relationship much less... the thought of sharing.”

”I don't know about that,” Nik traced his chin as he picked up Cindy's bra, ”She likes me and Vanish a lot.”

”Gimme that!” Snatching the loose undergarment, she picked up her communicator again, ”I should ask Agent Coulson to prepare a spare outfit. He must have one, all things considered.”

”He probably won't have the time for that and,” as a soft, warm golden glow seeped out of Nik's body, much to Cindy's surprise, clearing all the scent and grim from the room and making her bedsheets fresh and dry once again, Nik pulled the damning clothing away from her body and pulled her n.a.k.e.d curves close, ”we have a monster to catch. Well... you guys do. I'll just be there for fun,” pecking her lips, Nik walked past her and picked her Silk outfit.

”There you go, all cleaned up.”

Dumbfounded, Cindy quickly caught the dress before looking at Nik for a full minute.
