SHIELD had zero intel on this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't stare at me like I'm the threat,\" Vincent said, leaning back. \"I'm harmless. I'm just a rich kid who wants to enjoy life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Harmless?\" Natasha scoffed. \"You froze an entire island. You're a walking nuke.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nuclear weapons are deterrents. Biological experiments are hazards. Both created by humans,\" Vincent countered calmly. \"When have I ever attacked civilians? The Triads were a cancer. Kingpin was a tyrant. I only removed the tumors.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are laws in this country,\" Natasha said softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Laws are for the majority. They maintain order for the sheep,\" Vincent replied, his voice dropping an octave. \"But you and I know how dark the world really is beneath the surface. My existence challenges the power structure. That's why SHIELD fears me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natasha fell silent. He wasn't wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent softened his tone. \"Let's stop talking about unhappy things. Go get some rest, Natasha. You'll need your strength.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Knight,\" Natasha smiled, stretching her arms. The oversized shirt rode up, revealing a glimpse of her thigh. \"Protect me while I sleep.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It would be my honor, Princess,\" Vincent bowed theatrically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natasha laughed and headed upstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent watched her go, his heart pounding. She's dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he had other business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened his laptop and logged into his brokerage account.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony Stark was back. He had ousted Obadiah Stane (Iron Monger) and was repurchasing shares. Stark Industries stock had skyrocketed to $211.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent's leveraged position was now worth a fortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Time to close.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sold everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Transaction Complete.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Net Profit: $10.1 Billion.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent sat back, stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Wealth Points: 10,187,750,000]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Desire Points: 680,000]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paid off his bank loans. He was now a legitimate billionaire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have enough wealth for now,\" Vincent mused. \"But to reach the cosmic level... I'll need trillions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought about acquiring Oscorp. But not yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natasha woke up in the guest bedroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time in years, she had slept peacefully. No nightmares. No assassins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked around. The room was filled with roses. At the foot of the bed hung a stunning evening gown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A note rested on the pillow:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the beautiful Princess Natasha. - Your Knight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natasha felt a lump in her throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had come here prepared to offer her body as a transaction. A cold exchange for a mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Vincent had turned it into a fairytale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She dressed slowly, savoring the moment. Even if it was an illusion, she wanted to believe in it for one night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She walked down the stairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent was waiting in a white tuxedo. The dining room was lit by candlelight. A violinist played softly in the corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you,\" Natasha whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't thank me,\" Vincent took her hand. \"I don't care about your past. I only see the beautiful woman in front of me today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They dined. They laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the music stopped and the staff withdrew, the atmosphere shifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air crackled with tension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent led her upstairs, not as a client claiming a prize, but as a lover claiming his partner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, a storm raged. Inside, a different kind of storm began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile.
