The Epic of Leviathan (A Mutant's Ascension)

[POV Rumi]

"So, how did the meeting go?" Eric asked me and Emma. Both of us were sitting on the opposite side of the table. After returning to Elysium we told the rest of the group to return while we reported back to Eric and here we are now. Raven was also with us in Eric's office. ​​

"We found out their base and I had a conversation with one of the leaders or some representative…" I was saying but Emma cut me off.

"She was the self-appointed leader of the Inhumans" Emma spoke up and she once again leaned back on her chair. "Rumi doesn't have all the facts so I will fill in the gaps where I can… the woman's name is Jiaying Jhonson or simply Jiaying" Emma finished and I nodded at her gratefully for the additions.

After that, I recited the whole incident in front of Eric and Raven. Emma spoke up in the middle from time to time to add some facts that I didn't know about. When I was finally done with my story… Emma decided to speak up, she wanted to tell us about the things she had found inside Jiaying's mind.

"That woman cannot be trusted… I didn't have much time to delve deeper into her mind, or I could have been found out so I looked through anything I could" Emma said with a shrug. Eric gestured her to continue…

"First, I don't know what she is planning but she wants to take those Inhumans with her, she won't shy away from using force if needed…" Emma said and I was kind of expecting this. I don't understand why she is so fixated on the Inhumans who are happily living here… something is definitely amiss here.

"Secondly, if the meeting ends on a happy note. That is if those Inhumans agree on their own accord to leave with them… then, she intends to use us. She hates a Government Organization with passion… I didn't find which organization but she would go to any lengths to see that organization burning…" Emma said and took a deep breath.

"No matter the outcome of our next meeting… she wants to instigate a fight between that particular Government Organization and us… if we become friendlies then she would do something from the inside and if the meeting ends on a sour note then she would simply point that Organization in our direction… that is what she plans to do" Emma finished and once again she leaned back in her chair.

"Now that we know this… we can simply cancel the meeting you know? Why risk our people for someone's agenda" Raven was the first to speak up. That's wouldn't work… I don't know much about these kinds of stuff but I know canceling the meeting would just postpone the incident.

"No… that won't work" Eric said while shaking his head. "If we cancel the meeting then we would be showing them that we are weak… and not only that, we would be also sending Jiaying the message that we know about her true intentions… she would simply find some other way after that. We would just be delaying the face-off" Eric finished and shook his head once again.

"We also can't kill her off… if we do that, then we would be simply starting a fight between the Inhumans and us. Remember what I just said… nobody in Afterlife knows Jiaying's true intentions and we would simply become enemies…" Emma said with a frown on her face.

"The fight between Inhumans and us won't be a problem… we would win easily without much problem but I don't want them to die needlessly" Eric said and both Raven and Emma gaped like fishes out of water when they heard Eric. I was also somewhat surprised after hearing Eric.

"The hell???!!" Both Raven and Emma exclaimed loudly. "You aren't sick, right?" Raven asked Eric looking really worried.

Eric could only smile wryly seeing Emma's and Raven's reaction. I was also having some weird thoughts… Eric had never cared for anyone else except Meta-Humans. "Well, at first I didn't care about them much… but after watching them I understood that they aren't much different than us" Eric said in a sheepish tone.

"Wow… I never thought that I would hear something like that from you Eric" Emma said with a genuine smile on her face. I also agree with that… suddenly my senses picked up something and a smile appeared on my face. Reo is back…

[POV Reo]

I landed the ship in front of our house. Momo and Fleur were already out of the house, waiting to greet us. Weird… Nat told me that Ororo and Nemuri were already back, so why are they not here yet?

I powered down the ship and the four of us walked out of the ship with huge grins on our faces. Momo was in the front so I grabbed her first and pulled her towards me and before she could say anything… I smashed my lips on hers. She moaned and after a few minutes, I finally parted my lips from hers.

Fleur was already beside us waiting for her kiss. I grabbed her waist and I initiated a hot kissing session with her. Once again a few minutes passed when I finally backed away from her. "I missed you girls" I said looking towards Momo and Fleur caringly.

"And what about me?" Rumi appeared beside us out of thin air and asked with a small pout on her face. She looked damn cute when she pouted… it was a very rare occurrence so I saved the memory in the special memories section inside my mind.

"How, can I forget you" I said with a teasing smile and snaked my arms around her waist and pulled her into my arms. I leaned down slowly and pulled her into a heated kiss… Rumi moaned into my mouth and a few minutes had passed when we finally finished exploring each other's mouths.

"So, how was your trip? Anything fruitful?" Momo asked curiously and Adam and Eve started to chirp from Luna's arms. Only now both Momo and Fleur noticed Luna's new pets.

"I think we have a hell of a story…" Jean nodded her head with a knowing smile on her face.

[SHIELD Headquarters, New York]

Nick Fury was talking about something with Agent Coulson on his way out of the base. Agents were moving around the place always saluting Fury and Coulson on their way when suddenly an egg landed on Fury's bald head.

Fury immediately turned around with a gun in his hand. Everyone around Fury froze and no one moved a muscle. Fury looked around but scowled when he didn't find anybody. Now the bodies of everyone around him were shaking… trying to stop their laughter.

Fury noticed this and scowled even more… Fury growled loudly and touched the top of his bald head and only now he found that someone had thrown a rotten egg at his head. "Shut up!!" Fury snapped angrily and everyone froze once again in fear.

Coulson didn't know how to react. He was unable to understand how to react to this… he conceded, that the guy who threw the egg really had a pair of balls, balls of steel!! He declared inside his mind but he really felt pity for the guy. The whole base was riddled with hidden CCTV cameras after Leviathan broke into Fury's office and he was sure that the guy was caught on some camera.

"When I find the person responsible… I promise that he or she is going to regret tha…" Fury couldn't even finish before another rotten egg landed right on his face. Nobody said anything… the whole place was completely silent… until everyone burst out laughing.

Fury was shaking in complete fury (A/N: Pun intended). "SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!" Fury yelled and everyone stopped laughing when they noticed the rage in Fury's eyes. Fury didn't say anything more and turned around and started to head directly towards the CCTV room and Coulson followed him like he always did…

[POV Ororo]

I finally landed on the couch inside Nemuri's office. "I am spent…" I said in a tired tone.

"Take some rest… I have some work to do" Nemuri said cryptically and sat down on her chair or throne… whatever you wanted to call it.

"What are you doing?" I asked her and Nemuri was already typing something on her computer.

"I am sending a nice and incriminating video to some nice and famous news channels" Nemuri answered with an evil grin on her face. I laid down my head on the couch after I heard Nemuri's answer… I simply shrugged after I heard her answer.

Maybe a few minutes passed when Nemuri started to cackle in mad glee like a villainess. She must have done something evil… "What have you done now?" I asked her curiously even though a part of my mind wanted to stop me from knowing what she had done.

"That bitch is going to find a lot of problems in her life starting tomorrow" Nemuri said with an evil grin and once again she started to cackle like a villainess.

Pity… I almost felt bad for that woman, after all, she was simply doing her duty but she was still a bitch so I used the keyword almost.

"Ororo, I am done… Let's go back to Elysium" Nemuri said getting up from her throne. I simply nodded and with some difficulty, I pulled myself up from the couch. Nemuri picked up a pen from her table and turned it into a Portkey and handed me the Portkey.

"Even though you are no longer a human, I don't know if your body would be able to handle the stress of Flash Step or not…" Nemuri said and I nodded my head hearing her explanation. Nemuri Flash Stepped and I activated the Portkey and arrived in our living room and found that Reo was already back.

Momo, Fleur, and Rumi were sitting around Reo while gaping like a fish out of water… Nemuri was looking at them weirdly. "What happened?" Nemuri asked with a raised eyebrow and a weird look on her face… but I find it odd that Nemuri wasn't already trying to mount Reo…
