Chapter 343 - VOTE FOR THE HAREM

POV Nat

"So... why are we monitoring an abandoned mental asylum?

" Dora chirped from my side while she lit up a cigarette... I didn't know that she liked to smoke... she noticed my eyes and a grin appeared on her face.

"Ooh... want one? Don't worry, it doesn't have any nicotine... Momo and Fleur made these together back in my World. It has various effects... think of these things as magical MREs... I was somewhat hungry so...

" Dora tailed off and handed me one... I simply shrugged and lit it up. Hmm... I could already feel that a lot of nutrients were entering my body.

"Magic is involved?

" I asked Dora curiously who got a thoughtful look on her face.

"Of course... from what I know, Momo and Fleur had used some potions and alchemy to make these things... they had to use real food to make these things... after all, Alchemy is based upon the principle of equal exchange...

" Dora answered me after thinking for some time. I was quite surprised that she was able to give me so much information... that's quite... astonishing!!

"You know that's rude!! For your information, I was one of the best students in my time

" Dora said with a proud look on her face. She must have noticed my weird looks... Again I looked towards the cigarette in my hands, and I have to say, this thing could be pretty useful during stake-outs or wars.

"Sorry... I didn't mean to say that you are stupid though, it was just surprising...

" I said trying to cheer her up... she simply hmphed and continued pouting.

"As for your question... this isn't a mental asylum, this was the Red Room Academy... it was, at least when I was being trained

" I said with a solemn look on my face. I unconsciously caressed my stomach... I still hate them for doing that.

While I was busy with my thoughts, Dora was waving her hand... her hands glowed a couple of times, the sudden glow brought me out of my thoughts...

"So, what did you find?

" I asked her, after all, I knew that she was casting surveillance spells.

"There are no humans in there... that's for sure... but I have found several monitoring devices inside there... they shouldn't be active but they still are... which means that someone is monitoring this place from another place

" Dora said with a frown on her face and her hair morphed into midnight black.

"So, are we going to get noticed as soon as we enter that place?

" I asked her and she gave me a smug grin.

"Do you know who I am?? I am Agent Tonks... follow me

" she said and walked out of the bush we have been hiding until now. I didn't have any better ideas so I decided to follow her... she waved her hand towards me and my whole body turned invisible... hmm... after all, I can't use mental manipulation on cameras.

We stopped beside the letterbox and she showed me that there was a camera inside of the letterbox. After passing by several motion detectors without triggering them... we finally arrived in the archives... I wanted to take a look at the archives before moving on.

"There are a lot of files in here but most of them are pretty useless...

" Dora said and threw away some files... I also agree with her, I didn't expect to find anything here but there is no harm in looking.

"They were training us to be a bunch of mindless assassins... they won't leave any tracks, especially when SHIELD was involved

" I said and shrugged, we quickly left the archives and started to look around... I still remember my training... it's still fresh in my mind like it was only yesterday.

We finally arrived in front of the dorms... slowly, I made way towards my old bed... the bed was long gone but there was something else in there. I started tapping the fake floorboard and it was still there... I kneeled down on the floor and pulled off the floorboard. There was a small photo album in there... my vision turned blurry. I felt someone pulling me into their arms...

"Who are they?

" Dora asked me softly.

"They were the other students... some of them even died by my hands...

" I said softly and wiped off the tears from my eyes, then my eyes landed on a particular blond girl...

"she was like my sister... when we needed to pose as a family, she even acted like my sister, Yelena Belova

" I said in a melancholic tone and caressed the picture.

"Oh... you must miss her

" Dora asked me and I simply nodded. When I ran away I decided to abandon her so that she could live freely... I didn't want SHIELD to find out about her... I had thought that I had killed Dreykov but it seems that I was wrong.

"Then lets go and find her...

" Dora said hurriedly but I simply stopped her by grabbing her hand.

"No... finding her would be useless... since the Red Room is still active, she must be under Dreykov's control... before looking for her, we would need more of this

" I said pulling out a small pouch from the floor... the pouch was hidden under the photo album.

Inside the pouch, there was a small vial filled with a red coloured substance...

"This is Red Dust, this thing can free the widows from Dreykov's control... we need to synthesise more of this...

" I said and Dora nodded her head in understanding.

"So, we are going back to Elysium?

" Dora asked me and I nodded my head.

"I would need more Red Dust to free the widows... and Elysium is the safest place to synthesise more of this thing

" I said and a portal appeared in front of me. Dora quickly followed me and I went straight towards Jean's office.

Jean would know better about this thing, after all, she is the best doctor I know...

POV Reo

Well, I shouldn't have expected anything else... the whole dimension is kind of... GREENISH. I think that Hela had some kind of green fetish... I could feel a life sign in front of me and the life sign was already heading towards me.

(A

/N: I honestly don't know how to portray Hela's power of Death so I had decided to modify her powers, so that it could fit better for my purposes... so, I am giving her the powers of Baraggan from Bleach, the power of Rot, and Sung Jinwoo, well Hela had shown Sung Jinwoo's powers in the movies when she resurrected the army of berserkers).

I kept walking in that direction and soon a black-haired woman became visible... the woman was wearing a combination of a black and greed skin-tight armour, like she wore in the movies... her eyes were green like everything in this dimension... her eyes glowing eerily, she was releasing a lot of power.

(Image Here)

"Mortal... no... you are not a mortal... tell me how you were able to enter this portal and I will give you swift death

" the woman spoke in a raspy tone...

"Would you believe me if I told you that someone asked me to free you??

" I asked her in a neutral tone, Hela simply smirked.

"Oh... you will tell me...

" Hela said in an eerie tone and launched several swords towards me from her hands. I didn't flinch and the swords stopped in mid-air... Hela was slightly surprised to see that... the swords turned Hela and before I could launch them, they turned into dust.

"My weapons would never harm me...

" Hela said with a grin and greenish-black smoke started to ooze out from her hands and two long swords formed in her hands... the swords continued to ooze the smoke... and with that Hela lunged towards me... I tried to stop her but I was quite surprised when my power didn't even affect her.

"Surprised??

" Hela asked me when I dodged her slash... I knew that Hela was simply playing with me and she also knew that I wasn't serious... she has fought for millions of years... I wouldn't be surprised if her battle instincts were superior to Rumi.

"My swords are imbued with Death Energy... your power of controlling metals won't work on my swords any longer

" Hela said and back away and started launching swords at me... I feel that I am fighting with a less arrogant Gilgamesh. I wasn't bothered with the swords as they stopped in front of me.

"Hoh... Space powers too... I am impressed. Your Space Powers are quite strong too... my name is Hela... what is your name, man?

" Hela asked me in a proud tone.

"...Itsuki Reo...

" I said after a small pause. Hela gave me a weird look...

"Quite a weird name... but you are strong so it's fine

" Hela said with a shrug and attacked me once again... but this time she wasn't playing and was pretty serious... if the bloodthirsty grin on her face meant anything.

I made a sword with my iron sand and as soon as Hela sword touched my sword, it rotted away... hmm... that's dangerous... another sword formed in my hands and I surrounded them with my Power of Destruction... this time my sword didn't rot away but I was able to match Hela's blows... Hela was taken aback that I countered her Death Energy and backed away from me a bit.

"...Power of Destruction... hoho... you are full of surprises Itsuki Reo... tell me, Itsuki Reo, are you a Cosmic Being??

" Hela asked me with a smile and I could feel a small amount of respect from her voice.

"Yes... I am the Leviathan of Destruction...

" I said and Hela gave me weird looks once again.

"Never heard of such a being... but you are strong so you have my respect but you aren't a sword fighter...

" Hela said with a grin on her face and I shrugged.

"You said that someone asked you to free me... who is it?? Don't tell me that it's the old coward... I will kill him as soon as I leave this place

" Hela spat in clear disdain.

Well, I would have also hated the person who sealed me away for thousands of years...

"No... it was Lady Death... so are we going to stop fighting now??

" I asked her in a hopeful tone...

"No... the fight is just starting

" Hela said and started to grin viciously... I simply sighed...

(A

/N: Reo didn't use the Space Stone or the Time Stone to stop her because they aren't serious and Hela isn't a threat for him at this point but if it gets dangerous then he would use them... he also wants to defeat her in combat to earn her respect after all, he needs to show her who is the boss).
