《A Mutant’s Ascension》A Mutant's Ascension

[POV Nemuri]
I patiently waited for my meeting while sipping my morning coffee. I had decided to meet the group of 'Young Scientists' and a broke Investor once again before I made my final decision. I would have walked away if the project wasn't so promising… I wouldn't get back anything but if their theory is proved correct then they will be responsible for the greatest discovery of mankind.
Their names will be written in history for their discovery… after all, they will become famous for discovering the secret behind evolution. Currently, a lot of scientists are making arguments because of the recent meta-human fiasco. Some of them are saying that meta-humans are the future while the others are saying that meta-humans are completely different species but all of them have one common question. 'From where did the meta-humans come from? What triggered the mutation?'
And if this project goes through then we will get the answer to this question. It will also answer our question of if meta-humans are the next stage of evolution. If this theory is proven right then the people behind this project will get their names etched in the History and I am after that. Currently, I am the richest person walking on Earth, I don't mind if people don't know my name, after all, throughout history, there were a lot of rich people but none of them had their names etched in history books.
That is why I don't care if people didn't know, after all, rich people are forgotten only after a few decades but if this theory is proven right then my name will be remembered through generations!! I would be one of the people who were responsible for the discovery of the secret behind Evolution!! Since we haven't agreed on anything, they still haven't given me all the details. Well, it's good that they are cautious… why the hell did I decide not to use Imperius this time?
The group finally arrived and I had to resist cackling in mad glee when I saw Jonathan Lowell Spencer smacked his toe on the table and ended up getting his family jewels smashed when someone suddenly pushed their chair out. I wanted to cackle madly but that would ruin my perfect serious businesswoman image. For this, I have decided to use both my real face and real name. I saw Susan looked really embarrassed because of her brother and admonished him like a mother scolding her child. Looks like the Dire Misfortune Curse is working perfectly…
The five of them finally made it to my table, Jonathan was still limping… quite understandable, I look forward to his misery. After our formal greeting was over they finally sat down at the table… Susan and Reed cautiously looked around because of all of the people around us… Doom also had a similar expression on his face.
"You don't have to worry about them… they will mind their own business" I said in a dismissive tone, first of all, our table was quite far from the other tables and I have casted a mild notice-me-not around the table as soon as they sat down. Even if someone hears our conversation they will just forget it after a few seconds because of the charm.
"Miss Kayama, please forgive my brother for his embarrassing display. He still has to grow up" before any serious discussion could start, Susan decided to apologize for her brother. Susan spoke in an embarrassed and pleading tone.
"It's fine… things like this happen. It's just bad luck" I said with a serious look on my face. It was only because of Occlumency that I was able to suppress my laugh.

"I hope you are fine" I turned my head towards Jonathan and said in a pitying tone. He didn't know what to say so he remained silent… if any of them were slightly more experienced then they would have felt my mocking tone…
"I don't think that meetings like this should happen in public places like this" Doom sneered and spoke in a cold tone. I didn't react to him and gave him a cold glare.
"Your opinions are insignificant like your money, Mr. Doom" I sneered in the same manner as he did. I saw his face became purple in rage when I mocked his money… it was almost comical. Thankfully, Susan was an intelligent woman and decided to defuse the situation before it could escalate… I like smart women like her. After all, manipulating smart women gives me more satisfaction.
I picked up my bag from the table and pulled out a scroll from my bag and handed it to Reed Richards, he was the Project head so he should get to read the contract before anyone else. Reed took the scroll with an odd look on his face… the others also gave me weird looks. "Well… I will be honest, I wasn't expecting a scroll" Reed spoke in a bewildered and shocked tone.
"I have a love for eccentric things" I said and leaned on the table. Reed opened the scroll and started to read the contract after he finished reading he handed the scroll to Susan Storm.
"*snort* it feels like I am making a deal with a devil" Susan said in a shocked tone. Oh, girl, you have no idea how right you are… well, I haven't hidden anything overly malicious in the contract but there are several loopholes in there for me to use.
The only clause which can be called malicious in there was that if this Project comes through, they will work for my company… that means they will no longer be able to work independently and they will be pulled into my company and my company is in Elysium. If they are really smart… why the hell I would let them go? Momo will get some lab mates to help her…
Doom finally read the contract and gave me a weird look. "You expect us to believe this?" he asked waving the contact.
"What's the problem, Mr. Doom?" I asked Doom in a dismissive manner. I was almost reaching my breaking point… I will Crucio the bastard!!
"It's written that you are agreeing to pay any amount of money as long it is needed for the project?" Doom asked in a bewildered tone, I looked towards the others, they also wanted to ask about that.
"Yes, the amount of money is inconsequential to me… what I don't want is cutting corners because you are lacking money… and if you are wondering if I really have the right amount of money or not then you don't have to worry. Even before the collapse I could have bought the whole country if they would have allowed me to…" I spouted bullshit with a completely straight face, I wasn't lying exactly… only the details were blurred. Well, fuck the details!!
"Well, it works for me!" Reed said in a cheerful tone and took the contract from Doom. He took out a pen from his pocket and signed the contract, Susan was next to sign the contract, soon the others followed and Doom was the last one to sign the contract. But Doom's clause was different, after all, he had his own company. The corners of my lips curled upwards and a smile graced my lips for the first time in the meeting…

"Now that all of us are on the same page… let's discuss about your Project" I gushed out in excitement… manipulating all of them without using Imperius was really satisfying. Well, the economic instability obviously helped… the same economic instability I caused. Sometimes, I feel I should praise myself until I blush…
After a long discussion about their Project and theory they left. Reed was convinced that Evolution on Earth was triggered by the clouds of cosmic radioactive energy in space and he has calculated that such clouds will soon pass by Earth, to be exact he mentioned 2005 and they wanted to go to space so that they could get a first look on the clouds and conduct some experiments with the clouds. So, they plan to go into Space, well, I don't mind going to space…
A Fox in Space… I kind of like the idea. Now, I am glad that I decided to spare no expenses. After all, I don't want to go into space within a destabilized ship that can explode anytime… even if I didn't die, my clothes and jewelry will get ruined!! My stomach rumbled in hunger so I ordered some sandwiches… What?!! Manipulators like me also feel hunger!!
While eating my 4th sandwich my pussy suddenly tingled, my pussy doesn't tingle out of the blue… it must be my Reo senses. I put down 250$ on the table… I knew it was too much money even after the food crisis but who cares and I was in a hurry, with the sandwich in my hand I walked out of the café and disillusioned myself and Apparated right from the stairs. With a loud crack, I appeared inside our room.
As soon as I found my senses, I felt Reo releasing his powers somewhere on the island. I hid under an illusion to watch the show. It was quite clear that Reo was showing off his power to some fool or fools… I concentrated on Reo and found him on the Eastern side of the island and Flash Stepped near him. I arrived and saw that Reo was standing against a group of odd-looking armor-clad people. Did they get teleported here from some Medieval Era? I tilted my head in confusion and Flash Stepped once again to get myself some distance.
I saw the blond guy who seemed to be the leader of the armor-clad guys channel lighting through his armor and shot lightning at Reo. I snorted in amusement, attacking Reo with lightning won't do you any good. Reo simply stopped the lighting with his bare hands. This seemed to surprise them and the guy decided to attack Reo directly and was shot away like a cannonball. The fight was over in just a few seconds… Reo obviously beat the shit out of them. Reo was currently choking a guy who tried to stab him in the neck.
Suddenly, a rainbow-colored beam fell from the sky and two voices were heard from within the beam. A man and a woman "Please Mercy!" that's what I heard, now that I have seen how they arrived here it felt like they were Gods from some mythology… I snorted once more. If Reo was weak would you still have asked for mercy?? When I finally laid my eyes on the man my eyes grew wide…
Ol' Twinkles is that you?? With a bewildered look I shook my head and saw that Ol Twinkles was still there. Dumbles was in this world too?? The Dao of Dumbles is overpowered.
"Now, why would I do that?" I was brought out of my disturbing thoughts when Reo spoke. I wanted to cackle in mad glee when I saw Reo playing the villain. I wanted to join too but I will definitely get my chance…
"Please… please, let go of my son" the woman dropped to her knees while tears were flowing from her eyes. The woman definitely loved her son… I moved slightly closer, after all, Reo was putting on a great show. I was only missing popcorn… I was already soaking wet from the fight, I am definitely getting fucked after the show is over.
"That is what I asked Ass-guardian… why the hell should I show mercy to your pathetic sons?" Reo said with a grin. A giggle escaped my lips when Reo put more pressure on Ass. So, they are from Asgard, so Asgard is real? He said sons and looked towards the blonde fool with lightning, who was currently lying on the ground.
"You know what, I won't kill your pathetic sons… it will only dirty my hands" Reo spat out in disgust and threw Loki towards the mother. Since they are from Asgard, that Ol Twinkles must be Odin and the woman must be Frigga, so their sons, lighting fool Thor and the wannabe illusionist, Loki.
"This one is so pathetic that he needs a crutch to use his own divinity… that's must be really shameful. How the hell do you even sleep at night with an incompetent son like that?" Reo said to Odin while shrugging. Whoo… that's cruel!! I like that!! "Your other son is a fool of equal caliber… he tried to assassinate me while hiding under an illusion" Reo said with disgust in his voice and directed his eyes towards Loki.
"Don't even start with the other insects they brought along with them… please grab all of them and get the hell out of here before I change my mind and kill all of you. I don't want to step on a bug while walking through my backyard…" Reo said in a mocking tone. Odin was gritting his teeth in anger and his face was purple in rage but there was nothing he could do.
"Get the others!" Odin barked out to his men… unfortunately their faces were covered and I wasn't able to see their expressions, it would have been golden. Odin's men quickly gathered the others and Frigga was now crying over her blonde fool of a son… another beam fell on them and all of them vanished.
I stopped my illusion and Flash Stepped right in front of Reo… it was too hard to hold myself back now. "You. Me. Our, room now" I said with slight difficulty… I really wanted to jump him. If Jean and Ororo weren't here I would have definitely mounted myself on him… Reo grabbed my hands and both of us Flash Stepped into our room…
"So, what are you planning to do?" Reo asked me while trailing his fingers down my neck.
"You will see my Supervillain" I said and pushed him on the bed…
(A/N: Some of you might not be satisfied with the ending because Reo didn't extort anything for them but in truth, he didn't need anything from them. I understand that Asgard magic is superior but their own powers are much superior to Asgardian magic, that is why he didn't want to use their magic, and all of them needed to master their own powers too. Reo also shamed Thor, Loki, and Odin)

Changement : Version Pile [French]
Notice: This story is in French, not in english, mainly because of my poor english. I may translate it later if I get better, and hopefully I will. _ Les cris de souffrance résonnent dans ses oreilles, dans sa tête et dans son coeur. Cette dernière image, ces derniers instants, ces morts incompréhensible, rien ne sera plus jamais pareil pour Nils Nocquat. Il sombre, et dans les ténèbres, découvre la fache cachée de son monde. Qui est coupable? Démon, Ange et autres Sonen, tous se renvoient la faute, et maintenant, Nils Change, il doit faire un choix. Indécis, il lance une pièce. Pile. Il a choisi son camp. Il deviendra un Démon, le meilleur ou le pire de tous, ce n'est qu'une question de point de vue. - Author's note: this story is a concept. During the first chapter, the main character is faced with a major decision, which will change his life forever, and, not knowing what to do, he decide to play heads or tails, and let fate choose for him. And so there will be two versions of this story, one for each of the result, and their consequences for the main character, as well as all those around him. Here, he got tails. Note de l'auteur: Comme dit plus haut, cette histoire sera en français, car je ne suis pas assez bon en anglais. De plus, cette histoire est un concept un peu particulier, le personnage principal va se retrouver face à un choix décisif qui va changer sa vie pour toujours, et, ne savant pas que faire, il va jouer à pile-ou-face, en laissant le destin décider pour lui. Il y a donc deux versions de cette histoire, une pour chacun des résultats de son lancer. Lien de l'autre version : https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/28318/changement-version-face-french Je vous encourage à ne pas lire les deux versions, ou en tout cas, à ne pas les lire en même temps. Elle sont assez peu similaires, mais des choses vont, logiquement, être répétées, et les confusions risquent d'être rapides, surtout au début des histoires. Dans tout les cas, ces deux histoires vont s'éloigner assez rapidement, tout en restant intrinsèquement liées par leurs personnage principal. Libre à vous de choisir la version qui vous plaît le plus, sachant que vous n'aurez pas besoin de lire les deux pour comprendre toutes les intrigues, elles sont absolument indépendantes l'une de l'autre. Le seul chapitre identique dans les deux versions est le prologue. C'est la deuxième fois maintenant que je publie quelque chose que j'ai écrit, mais ça ne me rends pas meilleur en terme d'orthographe et de grammaire, donc si vous relevez une erreur, où même si vous remarquez des incohérences, n'hésitez surtout pas à me le faire remarquer. Toute critique, qu'elle soit positive ou négative, est appréciée. En terme de rythme de publication, je pense sortir un chapitre par semaine dans chacune des deux histoires.
