”My motherfucking stomach!” A loud shout broke the relatively silent atmosphere of the ward as Luke gasped, clutching his chest with his entire being covered in cold sweat. Looking down, observing a medical gown over him, he carefully touched the location where he was sliced open as the shadow of a red-haired demoness flashed in front of his gaze.

Eyes without remorse but only boredom as he wasn't even able to match the speed of the moving sword and what's more, the sword could actually cut through his skin!

Even weapons as strong as diamonds couldn't do that!

The door of the ward clicked open as a short nurse walked in with a tray. Seeing the patient already awake, her eyes widened a bit but she quickly placed the tray on the stand next to the door and pressed a buzzer, attracting Luke's attention.

”Miss, what's going on?” He inquired, already knowing that with his affiliation with Shield, no ordinary hospital could ever treat him, and those who could definitely know who he is.

”Mr. Luke, your body and mind was sent into a lasting shock due to a fatal injury. I'm specifically appointed by the new Chief Operator. He would be coming soon and detail you on your condition.”

”I want a cellphone. I need to contact someone,” Luke pressed on.

”Yes, of course. To accommodate for your needs and possible requests, we have already placed many items in the room. If you would look to your left, you'll see a telephone with great connectivity.”

Blinking, Luke turned to the other side, his stomach aching for a moment as he winced.

'Well... this was fucking embarrassing!'

Dialing a number, Luke waited until the call was connected.

”Hello?”

”Coulson! It's me!”

”I'm sorry, you have to be more specific.”

”Me, damnit! Luke!”

”Luke Brock? I thought you had passed away, agent.”

”What? No. Luke Cage, man. Hot, tall, dark? Kinda like an exotic chocolate!”

”Well... I was planning to joke around for a bit longer but your current admission will do. For legal purposes, I am obligated to tell you that this call is being recorded,” Coulson's voice made Luke pause a little but he took no mind of it.

”I don't care, man. What happened to that woman? The one I was sent after in Korea?”

”Oh, we sent Agent Vanish. She is currently staying with Agent Vanish.”

”What?!” Luke almost shouted.

”Yeah, apparently, she agreed to follow Agent Vanish without a fight. In his report, Agent Vanish mentioned being more diplomatic and polite since the feminism is all the rage at the moment...”

Luke was dumbstruck for a little as he recalled Nik's grinning face. His vision swam a bit as Coulson continued.

”Director Fury is in the extraordinary wing of the hospital. So, you woke up at a great time, Luke. It's good to hear you again. But yeah, I don't think we have to worry about Angela. Angela is the name of the woman who sent you into the coma... although, you might have to worry about Nik. Heal up quickly, we will need you.”

Not understanding much, Luke wanted to continue but the call was already disconnected. Instead, the door was opened again.

Under Luke's shocked gaze, Nick Fury walked alongside a rather controversial persona.

With a metallic choker over his neck, his hairdo as slick as ever, Norman Osborn smiled kindly as he gazed at Luke.

”See? My 9 days under my prescription and he's already awake,” Norman smiled while Fury silently looked at the healed-up Norman Osborn.

Once he was healed, it only took up a few days to heal the one called Troll, or otherwise known as Hector. Cindy's ex-boyfriend.

”Aw... and I got so used to it...” Anna moaned. It was true. Her usage of symbiote without any consciousness was the greatest, then again, only Mary and she had such symbiotes on themselves. Meanwhile, Cindy and Natasha's symbiote habit was much more restrictive in nature as it only allowed a single outfit. However, all four of them were bot converted by Nik into something different and held Knull's moderate possession still.

”It's fortunate that our symbiotes weren't controlled just yet and whatever this Knull is, tried to go after Nik first,” Natasha shrugged and leaned against the couch. She hadn't used the symbiote converted into a ring for too long either.

”Yeah, lucky,” Nik smirked. Still amazed at the wonders of Luck. Even Kaal commented on simply how extraordinary the Chaotic Soul was and only now did Nik start to experience and observe the benefits brought by it. After all, Knull could barely register one percent of his Luck's attention and Nik was sure that the devil was at least rank 6 in over-all capabilities, or even stronger than Nik's expectations.

”Anyway, I'll modify it to a finality. This time, the weakness of fire and vibrations shouldn't be too glaring,” Nik smiled. It was already night and Nik felt that the world simply did not want him on vacation.

After all, even if he called his current status a vacation, he still ended up trading with Ray, creating Merlin, a living legend, and devouring a great portion of his knowledge. Not only that, he managed to tame a kitty and if he wasn't wrong, his daily treat would end up attracting her again. Finally, he had to once again modify the symbiotes, and reassure Pickle that she won't be taken away.

”Anyway... I hate to break it to you guys but I am no longer being considered for serious missions,” Natasha began as Cindy's expression turned a bit darker, too.

Already knowing that the conversation held no meaning to them, Angela and Anna looked at each other.

Nodding, they both walked out of the room, switched on the television.

”Oh, no. You either sleep or you study a little,” Mary groaned and walked out, making sure that Anna doesn't follow Angela's unhealthy lifestyle of constant binging of television shows.

”Yeah... I got a few stares from agents around me, too...” Cindy furrowed.

”I'm sure it's because of your butt. It's not exactly hidden when you wear tight costumes, you know? Even I end up staring at it for minutes,” Nik smiled, making Cindy blush a little.

”It's not that. Although nobody would admit it, you're officially a suspect. You know, for robbing Wakanda and the Shield. The current mission report from the team sent into Paradise is a good cover but someone will notice something different soon enough. And, Maria has finally detailed on various girls that are in a physical relationship with you, even marking herself to be in the possible candidates that might have helped you pull it off,” Natasha clicked her tongue in annoyance.

”But... Ava's name is not there,” Cindy chuckled, feeling particularly naughty. Although her parents would disapprove of her current behavior, she just didn't feel like stopping now.

”That's what I call dedication to a job,” Nik shrugged, ”To even mark oneself just to do your job with proper commitment. It's kind of admirable,” Nik smiled.
