The Epic of Leviathan (A Mutant's Ascension)

A/N: I am really sorry guys... I was really busy since day before yesterday and wasn\'t able to write anything...

------------------------------------------------- ​​

[POV Reo]

"So, Luna, do you have any more places to visit before we return to Earth?" I asked Luna… she was currently playing hide and seek with Adam and Eve on the ship.

According to Luna, Adam and Eve have been really sad that Attila wasn\'t able to come with us. Even with the absurd size difference, Luna\'s pets became quick friends with each other. Because of Attila\'s massive size, she was unable to join us on the ship and Luna had to return Attila using her teleportation ability.

I had asked her if she could have brought me to Morag using her teleportation ability. She simply smirked and she conceded that she could have done that but that would have changed the timeline and this was something I had to do on my own… something like a quest that must be completed by me.

I conceded to her point and after spending two days on the beach island I decided to return. Nemuri had informed me that Ororo had gained consciousness and what kind of changes her body was going through… Luna assured me that it would be completely fine and there was no need to worry about anything.

"Yes… there are. We haven\'t even scratched the surface but I want the others to be here too…" Luna said in her usual dreamy manner.

"She does have a point there" Jean chirped in from the side.

"Yes… I already miss the others" I said in a reminiscing tone. Even though it hadn\'t been that long since I have been away from the rest of the girls but I still miss them.

Now I understand my clumsy girlfriend\'s pain… Dora, don\'t worry I understand your pain now. (A certain clumsy woman sneezed suddenly and tripped due to that but fortunately for the clumsy woman she was able to grab the table and balance herself before she could land on her face).

"Guys, I have just heard that Rumi is also out on a mission" Nat said while walking down the stairs from the upper floor.

"Oh… what is she doing?" I asked Nat curiously.

"Apparently, Eric found the name of the guy who tried to teleport inside Elysium… well, technically it was Emma who found out… it was due to complete luck that she found out the guy\'s name when he was lurking around her office in Madagascar" Nat answered and plopped down on her chair.

"Oh… so who is the unlucky bastard?" Jean asked curiously with a raised eyebrow.

"Gordon… he belongs to a group known as Inhumans and their base is in Nepal" Nat answered and furrowed her eyebrows in thought.

Hmm… Inhumans, I was already expecting them but I didn\'t think that Gordon would be caught by Emma with his pants down. Let\'s see what happens next… everything depends on Jiaying now… if she decides to play team with us then it would be completely fine but if she becomes hostile then farewell Afterlife…

"Nat, set course for Earth… we are going back" I told Nat who gave me a teasing smirk.

"Aye, aye, captain" Nat said with a smirk and did a mock salute and entered the coordinates for Earth. As soon as she was done, I started to power up the warp drive, and as soon as the drive was completely powered up… I activated the drive…

[POV Dora]

I am really surprised that Fury called me… until today, Fury has only called me once before and it was when they decided to test my disguising skill. It was usually Hill that called me… but Hill is away on some mission regarding the Tesseract. She thought that it was a secret but I still found out.

I finally arrived in front of Fury\'s room and knocked on his door. I heard Fury\'s growl from inside telling me to enter and the door opened with a swish. I entered the room and found Fury pointing his gun towards me. I was immediately worried but not by much… I am pretty sure that my cover is still intact regardless of my lack of balance.

"Agent Tonks, reporting for duty sir" even though he was pointing a gun in my direction, I didn\'t lose my cool and reported to him formally.

"What is your negative point?" Fury asked me in a neutral tone. This isn\'t funny you fucker!! Is this insult Dora Tonks day?? I know that I lack balance but I don\'t deserve to be insulted like this!!

Even though I fumed inside my mind, I still had to answer. "I am a clutz sir" I said while gritting my teeth. Fury nodded his head and finally lowered his gun.

"Can\'t lower my guard since Leviathan can enter my office like he owns it" Fury said in a neutral tone… paranoid arsehole!!! How dare he make me insult myself…?? I will fry an egg on his bald head and make him choke on that egg!!

"I have got a mission for you" Fury said and threw me a file. I caught the file and opened it and quickly skimmed through the file… why the fuck is the fucker giving me a mission to steal dead bodies. I looked at Fury weirdly… he must have a dead body fetish… he could build a new cemetery with all these bodies.

"When do I start, sir?" I asked Fury not quite sure of what to make of this mission.

"As soon as you can" Fury growled coldly… don\'t worry Fury, I will definitely break eggs on your bald head. Nobody messes with Agent Tonks and gets off scot-free… well, except the floors and types of furniture… these two are the bane of Agent Tonks.

"You are dismissed" Fury shooed me off… I quickly left his office and decided to visit the cafeteria before I returned to my room. I reached the cafeteria and all of a sudden I sneezed and tripped but thankfully I caught a table nearby and stopped myself from landing on my sweet and delicate face.

My poor face… you have suffered so much throughout all these years, I will try to protect you as much as I can. I ordered some of the oiliest food available and gobbled them down without any remorse… Momo would be proud of me.

After I finished my food, I cheerfully left the cafeteria but my happiness didn\'t last that long and I tripped once again but this time I wasn\'t lucky and I skilfully planted my face on the floor… thankfully the skin on my beautiful and poor face is really thick and it wasn\'t bruised.

I arrived in my room and opened the file once again… I needed to read the file carefully before starting the mission. But before I could do that… I needed to do something more important… I needed to get some eggs…

[POV Rumi]

"Welcome to Afterlife... How may I help you?" the woman greeted us politely but that\'s only on the surface… her voice, posture and everything might be polite but her thoughts are completely opposite.

She might fool novices with that face and that expression but that definitely won\'t work on me… my eyes drifted towards Logan… I wanted to know if he noticed it or not and he did notice it… I wanted to smile but I had to stop myself from smiling.

Then my eyes drifted towards Emma… I wanted to see if she was reading the woman\'s mind or not. \'I am inside her mind\' Emma\'s voice rang through my head and without giving away any sign… I turned back towards the woman.

"We are from Elysium, we come here as friendlies… we don\'t want any fight" I said and the Asian woman smiled but it was pretty clear that the smile was fake. For exactly this reason I didn\'t lower my guard.

"I have heard about you people…" the woman trailed. "I would have to be living under a rock if I hadn\'t heard about your exploits" the woman continued her bullshit.

"But, you are keeping some of my people in Elysium… I want them back" the woman\'s whole persona changed. Looks like she is going to show her true face now. As soon as she said that… other people also started to come out from around us and they started to surround us.

"Are you really sure that you want to fight me?" I asked her with a raised eyebrow. The woman\'s face soured and she grimaced… looks like she does know me.

"I truly want to avoid any conflict with your group and your people… but I want my people back" the woman said in a serious tone.

"Even if they are happy where they are?" I asked the woman who went completely stoic, the people were already surrounding us now… I wouldn\'t have bothered so much with them, after all, I was getting a fight out of it but they are really weak… It would be like that I was bullying them.

"I want to talk with them…" the woman finally spoke up after thinking some more. The woman looked really serious about this and it didn\'t look like she would back down from this demand.

I thought for a few seconds before I looked towards Emma, who slightly nodded her head. Since she agreed I decided to give the woman an answer. "I can arrange a meeting for you in Madagascar if you want" I said and the woman seemed to think for a few seconds.

"That will be completely fine with me… but before we could build any kind of friendship between our groups… we need to deal with this matter first" the woman said and the people who were surrounding us started to back off.

"Sure… but, you better not pull off any tricks or I would be the least of your worries" I warned her… the woman grimaced once again but didn\'t say anything more and she retreated back inside the gates. It looked like she might try to pull some kind of trick…

"Is that it? What are we going to do now?" Kurt asked looking completely confused.

"Yeah kid, that\'s it. It was good for them that a fight didn\'t break out" Logan shrugged in his usual tone.

"Yes… that\'s it, Kurt. Like I had said previously, we didn\'t come to fight but if they started a fight then they were free game…" I said and pulled out my phone to check the time.

"But they seemed like they were ready to fight" Braddock muttered under her breath.

"Believe me… they weren\'t. It was just a scare tactic… let\'s go back now" I said and Kurt nodded his head.

"That woman should never be trusted…" Emma said coldly and Kurt grabbed Braddock and teleported out. Only after a second Kurt popped back and took Logan with him.

"Activate your diamond form" I said to Emma who immediately activated her diamond form… I placed my hand on her shoulder and Flash Stepped along with her to Elysium…
