When we get back to Oscorp, find Raven and have her inject you with the Super Soldier Serum.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent's voice carried a commanding tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natasha nodded shyly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, Ms. Romanoff, our battle begins.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent smiled brilliantly, like a master hunter looking down at his prey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beauty in his arms looked like a little white rabbit, showing a hint of nervousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, the Sling Ring opened a portal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After they left, a bald woman in yellow monk robes appeared where Vincent had just stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"His magical talent is truly astonishing. Just from the residual imprint on the Sling Ring, he sensed it effortlessly and opened a portal using his own water magic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ancient One praised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked upon Vincent with admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With her thousand-year-old gaze, she knew exactly what kind of person Vincent was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Decisive. Ruthless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He struck when he needed to. Never hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For a thousand years, Hydra has cycled through death and rebirth. Their ideology is truly like grass—cut it down, and it grows back in the spring.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world thought Hydra rose in WWII.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Ancient One knew Hydra had existed for millennia. One of the oldest organizations on Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though modern Hydra differed greatly from the past, the extremist ideology remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Giving him the Sling Ring... I wonder if it was right or wrong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ancient One sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew Vincent was Chinese.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chinese people valued repaying debts of gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Giving him the Sling Ring was the Ancient One's way of befriending him, accumulating good karma for the lineage of the Sorcerer Supreme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a necessary move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she had fought him, she could have sealed him in the Mirror Dimension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But New York would have been destroyed in the process. And she might have died before her successor (Strange) appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Building good relations was beneficial for Kamar-Taj.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with the Sling Ring, Vincent was no longer restricted by geography. In his hands, it would unleash unimaginable power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The only comfort is that he never kills innocents.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who died by his hand had clear targets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant Vincent controlled his power; he wouldn't lose control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had seen a chaotic future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The timeline was venturing into the unknown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only hope for humanity's survival was the birth of a true superhero who could protect Earth from extinction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ancient One worried if Vincent would use the Sling Ring to cause trouble. Would people think the Ice Demon was part of Kamar-Taj?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The only thing that can restrain him is women.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ancient One sighed again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, he had this vice. Otherwise, he might have become a cold-blooded monster, a true demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Island Villa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Long Island?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natasha looked at Vincent in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She walked to the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Overlooking the beautiful Atlantic Ocean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having been imprisoned, she smiled with relief and joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"New York air is better. Siberia was truly my place of suffering.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Widow didn't hide her past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent looked at Natasha by the window. Her perfect, round curves made his appetite surge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I thought you went to Siberia to settle scores with your old employers. I didn't know you were targeting Hydra's gene lab.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked up behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soft elasticity was amazing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natasha didn't notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You mean the Red Room? I'm SHIELD now. The Red Room won't trouble me for a while. Besides, I fear that place. I don't want to step back in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perhaps your extraordinary past made you the extraordinary person you are now. You've done well, Natasha. Joining SHIELD was the right choice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent comforted her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don't need to persuade me. I know your intentions. But warm words like that shouldn't come from your mouth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natasha turned around and wrapped her arms around his neck again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her red lips were fiery and sexy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then what should I say?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ha. I hope for your tough attitude. The sense of conquest brought by your immense power. That is the man Black Widow acknowledges. Only that kind of man gives me security.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natasha's eyes were misty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During her time away, she thought a lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Vatican incident wasn't why she left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The real reason was she realized she was being conquered by this man, bit by bit. The Ice Demon was warming her frozen heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was falling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was conflicted—was it love or worship?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless, she feared falling in love with the Ice Demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feared being unable to leave him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent wasn't just her man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he liked her, she couldn't replace Gwen's position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gwen was the woman Vincent truly loved. The one who occupied the high ground of his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natasha was a woman; she could feel it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in that Siberian cell, she didn't think of SHIELD. She thought of Vincent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She even subconsciously relied on his promise to save her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ms. Romanoff, I now believe you are my loyal fan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent's eyes burned with heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course. Can my Author-sama take me into the world of his novel?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As your Guardian Knight, I cannot refuse the Princess's request.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would satisfy such a request.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to see Natasha's limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, he would conquer her completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was funny. Among so many women, only Maria Hill was truly conquered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raven was close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natasha was just one step away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mind is a strange place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stumbled into the depths of Hill's heart by accident. Perhaps because Hill was too serious and pure about love, her defenses weren't as strong as Natasha's or Raven's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on. Let me see if your execution is as sharp as your writing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natasha laughed seductively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ha. Looks like I need to use some techniques.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hydra Headquarters (Unknown Location).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baron Strucker looked at the reports of the ruined base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anger twisted his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alexander Pierce (Eugene in text, likely Pierce) stood beside him, smoking a cigar. His cold eyes terrified everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This tycoon of the empire, secretly a top Hydra leader, had eaten a bitter loss on his doorstep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The gene base is buried 100 meters underground. Excavation is difficult. All our data backups were there,\" Pierce said, breaking the silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was our most important secret base. Closed data loop. No external exposure possible,\" a scientist said bitterly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our permanent underground fortress was destroyed easily. Not even a distress signal got out. The intruder had signal jamming tech.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But we detected a temperature anomaly in the region. 20 degrees lower than ambient!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staring at the frozen ruins report.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baron Strucker clenched his fists. \"Peter Parker!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He exposed our location. The enemy found the base through his signal. Decades of work, destroyed. But the monster legion we bred is enough for us to rise again in genetics.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strucker's heart bled, but he encouraged his men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a Hydra Head, he felt the doubt from within the organization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had mobilized Hydra forces in the US to target Oscorp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But back then, they weren't 100% sure Vincent was the Ice Demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Peter led the Ice Demon to Siberia. This god-like demon will vent his anger on Hydra. The Ice Demon is now our enemy!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strucker was smart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought of the London gene test.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hydra vs. Oscorp tech. Peter had the advantage then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, Oscorp won.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Hydra had the formula, replicating the serum would take 3-10 years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oscorp was now the global leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strucker successfully shifted the blame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pierce, we need a new base. I want no disturbances.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rest assured, Baron. I will find a suitable location.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pierce didn't like Strucker's tone, but he needed Strucker's genius. Strucker was a strategic scientist comparable to Red Skull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oscorp won this round. But the final victory belongs to Hydra.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hail Hydra!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Island Villa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent looked at the red scratch marks on Natasha's white back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled with satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he needed to restrain himself. Addiction leads to psychological issues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't wake her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He left the garage key for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julia often stayed here, so the garage was stocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Island was his favorite property. Gwen rarely came here, so he didn't worry about collisions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oscorp Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Raven, I've waited long enough. When will Mr. Hall return?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Psylocke stared at Raven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raven, in a deep-V suit, looked back calmly. \"Elizabeth, Mr. Hall is out on business. He doesn't report his itinerary to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raven's tone was cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Psylocke's goal was obvious. Her previous story was a lie. She was a spy infiltrating Oscorp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should know, Raven, I joined Oscorp for the Ice Demon. If I can't see him, I'll leave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Psylocke issued an ultimatum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bring her to my office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent's voice appeared in Raven's mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Psylocke, Oscorp values you. Mr. Hall is in his office. Sandi will take you there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raven smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Psylocke was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn't sensed Vincent's return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could sense mutant power levels. She had investigated Oscorp and knew about the Super Soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knock knock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent sat on the sofa, legs crossed, arms spread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sandi entered. \"Boss, Captain Britain is here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know, Sandi. Leave us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Psylocke walked in proudly, observing this demon who terrified the US.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elizabeth. Your arrival surprises me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent admired her explosive figure. Truly a masterpiece of creation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why do you say that, Mr. Hall?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You wandered New York for days. You were the only woman I spared. I thought you'd go back to England, not join Oscorp.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Psylocke sat opposite him, crossing her long, sexy legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Straight, round, powerful. Scissor legs that could snap a waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Spared me? No. I dodged your attack.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Psylocke sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't you know the Omega Beams lock onto the target until death?\" Vincent leaned forward, pressuring her. \"No. I should say, that was the first time I used it. You wouldn't know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Psylocke tensed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn't join the attack to destroy Oscorp. I joined to get intel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Psylocke confessed under pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know. That's why the second beam didn't kill you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Psylocke took a deep breath. \"Let's be direct.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Speak.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I need slots for the Super Soldier Serum. Can you provide it to England? We can pay!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Psylocke realized her cover was blown. Vincent treated her like a spy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are an employee. There are hidden benefits. But mutants in Oscorp Security have one characteristic: They are all my women. So, Raven keeping you here... likely implies that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent's gaze was hot. Unhidden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Psylocke lowered her head, thinking for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Defeat me, and I'm yours.
