This anomaly intrigued Magneto.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SHIELD reports claimed Vincent wasn't a mutant (no X-Gene), but Magneto didn't buy it. He suspected SHIELD was lying to hoard a powerful asset for their \"Avengers Initiative.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Vincent joined the Avengers, he would become a weapon against mutantkind. The Brotherhood needed to recruit him first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mystique had studied Ms. Juliet for days. Her mannerisms, her speech patterns, her coffee order. She walked into the teachers' lounge with perfect confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Juliet,\" Vice Principal Phil called out. \"This is our new guidance counselor, Ms. Rushman. She's here to help with the bullying victims.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mystique turned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing next to the Vice Principal was a stunning redhead in a professional yet alluring outfit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mystique's eyes narrowed. Natasha Romanoff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black Widow was here. SHIELD was making its move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ms. Rushman will need to see the students who were targeted by Flash Thompson,\" the VP continued. \"Please send them to her office later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course,\" Mystique replied smoothly, her voice identical to the real Ms. Juliet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Natasha walked away, Mystique smirked. This just got interesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Homeroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent sat at his desk. It was Friday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze drifted to the back of Gwen Stacy's head. Her golden hair looked soft in the morning light. He really wanted to run his fingers through it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, buddy,\" Hannah nudged him. \"I heard you guys are going to Long Island?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah. Tomorrow. We're taking the boat out,\" Vincent whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You've changed, Vincent,\" Hannah teased. \"I barely recognize you. It's like you grew up overnight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe it's the power of love,\" Vincent said, loud enough for Gwen to hear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gwen's shoulders stiffened slightly, but he could see the tips of her ears turn pink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ms. Juliet walked in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent looked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's wrong?\" Hannah whispered. \"Think Ms. Juliet looks extra hot today?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Something like that,\" Vincent murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his thoughts were elsewhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's not Ms. Juliet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Hydro-Kinesis gave him a radar-like perception of biological fluids. The real Ms. Juliet had a minor blood condition—anemia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This woman? Her blood flow was robust, powerful, and... shifting. It felt fluid, controlled by will rather than biology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mystique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent lowered his head, sensing her gaze linger on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Vincent Hall, Peter Parker, Flash Thompson...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ms. Juliet\" called out eight names.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please report to the guidance counselor's office after class. Ms. Rushman wants to check in on you regarding past bullying incidents.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ms. Rushman?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent smirked. Natalie Rushman. Black Widow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So SHIELD sent their best seductress. And the Brotherhood sent their best infiltrator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of them targeting a high school student because they think he's a horny teenager.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, they're not wrong about the horny part, Vincent admitted to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[System Alert]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[New Mission Chain: Building Prestige.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Part 1: The Brotherhood.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Objective: Make contact with Mystique.

Gwen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had plans to take Gwen to the estate this weekend.

Deal with the spies later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mystique and Black Widow were here to play the long game. They would try to get close to him. He could afford to play hard to get.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is going to be fun,\" Vincent thought, a predator's smile touching his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now Get The FULL NOVEL available so far at Once!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>@patreon.com\u002FAuthorizz\u003C\u002Fp>",693,"2026-06-06T16:16:52.583Z",1,"novelbin.me","d8ad45cb25f2c38cf1467e6a9e77c7f6953f93cb92ea678062cf5a033033c0ad","marvel-starting-with-the-ice-ice-fruit-chapter-29","marvel-starting-with-the-ice-ice-fruit-chapter-27",116,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmarvel-starting-with-the-ice-ice-fruit-cover.jpg"]
