The Epic of Leviathan (A Mutant's Ascension)

[POV Reo]

"Please tell me that we won't be Apparating there?" Emma asked looking slightly worried. Of course, they didn't know that I have stopped Apparating long ago. ​​

"Nope… we are going to take a portkey" I said and picked up a stone from the ground and made a portkey.

"That isn't much better though" Eric murmured under his breath. Both of them were dressed in the costumes they have used in comics and movies. Eric was using his movie getup while Emma was dressed up like she did in comics.

I looked at them and smirked, I know how they hated both Portkey and Apparition. Momo had sent me several pictures of Muir Island so I was able to easily make a Portkey.

I asked Emma and Eric to place their hands on my shoulder and with a familiar tug around my navel, and I was whisked away along with Emma and Eric. All three of us appeared slightly above the ground… both Emma and I were able to land on our feet but Eric fell down on his face.

"Eric, my boy… I am so disappointed in you" I said while shaking my head. "Look at Emma, and I hope you learn something from her" I said and both Emma and I burst out laughing.

Eric growled in anger but he didn't say anything to us, his attention was somewhere else because he hit his face on a metal lid. I also noticed where he was looking… it was a metal lid, I waved my hand and a small metal box came out of the ground.

I didn't know why but I found that box interesting… it could be a coincidence that this box was buried exactly where Eric landed his face but it might be something more.

I casted a Scourgify on the box and all the dust and grime it had accumulated were gone. On the top of the lid, something was written… the three of us leaned down to read it.

'To Leviathan, from Destiny'

The FUCK??!! As soon as I read the words my brain went into overdrive. Destiny, so Irene Adler left this for me… so she must have known that I would be coming here and Eric would slam his face on the box.

"How the hell did anyone know that we are going to be here?" Eric asked completely bewildered.

"But what is Destiny? Is it a Meta-Human or something else?" Emma asked in a confused tone while looking at me.

"Irene Adler, she is a Meta-Human, she is the one who calls herself Destiny" I said and opened the box and found an envelope wrapped in plastic. I tore off the plastic and took out the letter.

"Irene Adler… Irene Adler… I have heard that name somewhere… oh!! Yes!! She was the blind girl who was romantically involved with Raven… she was a lovely girl, pity she died" Eric looked really saddened.

So, Irene Adler is already dead?? Irene's story seems to be different here from the comics. I opened the envelope and found a letter.

'To Leviathan,

Truth to be told, I don't know if you would have been offended if I had called you with your given name so I am referring to you as Leviathan.

I know that you will find this later, I hope that I could have told you all of this face to face but that isn't my destiny. Now, enough greetings, let's move on to more important topics, such as why I am writing this letter to you.

Moira MacTaggert of this Universe is dead… she was killed by an unstable Meta-Human whom she was trying to force to join the CIA. But her place was taken by another Moira MacTaggert, who was somehow transported into our Universe.

This Moira MacTaggert has only one ambition, she wants to cure the Mutants. I don't know about her motivations but she will do a lot of questionable things to reach that goal. By the time this letter reaches you… you will still have some time. I don't know why she turned against her own kind but you must find the answer.

You must stop her… she must not succeed, what she is making is an airborne cure. If she releases it in the air then it will spread throughout the world in a matter of minutes and the Muta… oh sorry, Meta-Humans would lose their powers and most of us will even die because of the shock of losing their powers.

I know that you have already done a lot for the Meta-Humans and I can't possibly ask for anything more from you. So, I decided to look for some answers you have been searching for. I tried but I wasn't able to find much though… I am not that powerful.

You will find most of the answers to your questions through the stones. You must find the stones. I don't know what those stones are but those stones will give you all the answers. You will find your first stone on a very distant land…

I hope that I was somehow able to help you. Farewell, Leviathan.

Irene Adler, Destiny

The letter finally ended… wow!! Just wow!! Whatever I was expecting I wasn't expecting this… why the fuck my life revolves around seers?? Yes, I understand that the information regarding Moira MacTaggert was important and the clue she gave me was also nice but it could have been simpler.

From what I understood she meant the Infinity Stone when she was referring to the stones and she said that I will find my first stone on a very distant land…

Nothing on Earth is distant from me… which means my first Infinity Stone won't be the Space Stone or the Time Stone and since I was already interested in the Power Stone, my first Infinity Stone must be the Power Stone.

"Wow!! That's a lot" Emma said with a frown.

"We came here to hunt a wolf but this is much bigger now… we must kill Moira MacTaggert. We can't allow her to finish the cure" Eric said while gritting his teeth.

"Reo, what did she meant by the stones though?" Emma asked curiously.

"Infinity Stones…" I started to speak and gave them a brief explanation. Both were awed when they heard about the Infinity Stones. Neither of them knew what to say after I finished my explanation.

"Come on… let's go. We have wasted a lot of time here" I said and gestured them to come forward. I have already sensed where the facility was… the facility was built behind a hill so that some random ship crew can't find them.

We finally arrived near the facility and turned around to look at Emma and Eric. "We will sneak in, I don't want either Moira MacTaggert or Romulus running away. If there is something Romulus is good at then it would be hiding… he hides like a coward" I said and both of them nodded their head in understanding.

"I am going to turn you both invisible… Emma, it should be easy with your powers to know where the two of us are, right?" Emma nodded her head in agreement.

"Eric you can also easily sense us because of metals we have on our body" I said and Eric nodded in understanding. With that, I casted notice-me-not charms on all of us and then disillusioned the two of them and I disillusioned myself.

We arrived in the front of the facility and saw that four guards were stationed on the roof one in each corner and two guards were guarding the gates. Now, before infiltrating I wanted to find if they had any escape routes or not… I could sense several metal vessels right under the base but I didn't know what they were exactly.

"Emma scan both of their heads and tell me if they have any evacuation route or not?" I whispered looking at empty space but Emma was there.

"Yes, give me a sec" Emma's whispered in a low tone. Few seconds passed and Emma spoke up once again. "Yes, they have built an underwater cave right under this facility. They have several boats and a submarine docked in there" Emma said and I hummed while contemplating.

"Ok, first we visit their underground cave and sabotage all the boats and the submarines. This way they won't be able to escape" I said. Oh… so, that's what I had sensed kept under the facility. At first, I didn't think them to be boats or a damn submarine.

We didn't knock out the guards, we simply entered the building through the huge gates. The guards were standing at each side of the gate. Emma directly led us towards the underground cave. Eric had a field day when I told him to destroy all their engines. It didn't take too long and we were finally done.

Some guards were also stationed in the cave, while Eric was having his fun, I grabbed a guard and placed my hand over his mouth so that he couldn't scream. I looked into his eyes. "Legilimens" I shifted through his mind without remorse and found where Moira was. I also found Romulus's location.

I also got the location of the Inhumans they were experimenting on. On the front, nobody knew what Moira was actually doing… at least this guard didn't know. They thought that they were looking for a way to replicate the powers Inhumans possessed.

I AK'ed the guard and dropped the body in water. Magic is something really awesome… because of the notice-me-not, nobody noticed that I dropped the body in the water.

"I am done" Eric said and returned to us.

"Good, I also got Moira's location" I said and the two of them silently followed me…
