Chapter 649 - Reciprocation (2/2)
It's been days since they accepted the form alliance to resist Victor's actions but Reed hadn't been happy from that day. Even if they weren't together, everybody was worried about Reed. Well, except for Benjamin and Johnny... so just her. ”You need to rest,” Susan patted Reed on his shoulder, making him grunt in agreement as he pulled back from the projection and sigh. ”Sue... I—”
”Shh,” Susan smiled comfortingly and took off Reed's lab coat, ”we separated for a reason. You love science more than anything else so keep at it. I'll be here supporting you, just so you remember what's truly important. As for Victor, I'm sure he'll come around eventually.”
Thinking of the sadistic and calculative youth the current man was, Reed shook his head with a grim expression, ”I hardly think so... but regardless, we must make preparations. Tony is too full of himself... for his own good. Like Victor back then. Not only that, the Shield is hiding much crucial information from us so we must mot trust Nick Fury easily. I've gone through their Project P.E.G.A.S.U.S and it's easy to infer the nature of cowardice and caution of Fury's bosses.”
”They are... sending a team to collect more samples,” Susan replied.
”For themselves. Not that I can call anybody out for selfishness. I think... I'll go to bed now. Good night,” Reed nodded and after a few moments of awkward silence, he left, leaving Susan with the research papers as she went through them and began conducting the next phase under a controlled environment. Baxter Building was soon going to be a house of multiple, revolutionary experiments not limited to the realms of unexplored space. And for that, they needed peace which the alliance promised to grant.
”Or... we could have rejected it just like Vanish did...” she mumbled to herself, feeling a bit unsure after everyone left. As Reed said, Victor was a man for his own goals whether they interfered with the lives of innocents. The shield was an organization to serve the world leaders at the expense of a few righteous sacrifices. Tony Stark was a man, as he said, with not many things to lose and too many things to enjoy. For such a man, the creation of the Iron Man suit seemed to be the most optimal choice but...
'Even Reed hasn't figured out the tech behind the power source of the suit. At least, the new one. Who knew...' She mused.
Pushing her hand into the pocket, she took out a piece of paper with a number written on it.
'Call me. No forcing, of course— Nik.' The note stated as Susan pursed her lips, still thinking if that stuck up agent reciprocated or not...

”Nnngh~!” Maria pushed her lips against Nik as her entire body quivered with another bout of acc.u.mulated pleasure gushing onto Nik's crotch as her body limped on Nik, her eyes dazed and her pupils slightly rolled up with nothing to care about at the moment.
Calling Nik turned out to be the best decision of her life. Second best? Joining Shield.
