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

[POV Agent Tonks]
I slowly crept through the halls of the hospital without making a sound. Even if I made a sound there was no way anyone would bother with me, after all, I was currently mimicking the daughter of the Head Doctor, she was known for coming here to meet with her father from time to time.
No matter what, I have to say that SHIELD takes information collection very seriously. I am so happy that we are able to use magic to avoid surveillance or I can't even imagine what kind of information SHIELD could have acquired about us.
I finally arrived in front of the Morgue and quickly slipped inside the room and my nose was immediately assaulted with the smell of dead bodies. Ugh...!! I hate Fury for giving me this mission. I cast a spell to clear the smell and picked up the chart kept on the front table.
I quickly skimmed through the names of the dead bodies and finally found my targets. I took out a stretcher from the next room and prepared it so that I can take out the body. There is no way I am going to carry a dead body within my arms and I just have to take out the body. A van is already waiting in the hospital parking lot for the body.
I finally pulled out the first frozen body and I carefully levitated the body over the stretcher and carefully lowered the body. I casted a notice-me-not on myself and the stretcher so that no one would notice us.
I quickly left the stretcher in the hall and returned for the second body. I returned to the room next to the Morgue and took out another stretcher. It didn't take me a lot of time to get the second body and after casting the notice-me-not on the second stretcher, I quickly brought it to the hall and it was completely easy after that... Using magic it was really easy to push the stretchers.
I arrived in the parking lot and deactivated the notice-me-not charms I had cast on myself and the stretchers. The people waiting in the van finally noticed me and immediately rushed at me to help me. They quickly grabbed the bodies and carried them into the van.
"Thank you, you were much faster than anyone of us anticipated. Looks like rumours about you are really true..." a tall man spoke to me in an appreciative tone. Yes... Mortal, stroke my ego. Finally someone who understands how awesome Agent Tonks is...
The team didn't wait any longer and quickly drove out of the parking lot. Hmm... I should also get out of this place... I pulled out my phone and started to text Reo, after all, he told me to keep him posted...

[POV Rumi]
I didn't say anything to Eric and allowed Jiaying to use the button... I wanted to see what has she prepared. The next second, I felt something arriving and I before doing anything else, I leaned my head towards the right and a blade appeared exactly where my head was.
"Im-impossible..." my attacker stuttered out. The man was one of the oddest looking creatures I have ever seen and that's saying something when I have fought that Abomination.
The man didn't have any eyes and from his face I quickly concluded that his eyes weren't surgically removed. He was born that way but that's something I can contemplate later... My grip around the first guard's throat tightened and a little bit more force a loud Crack was heard throughout the room.
Everyone in the room knew what happened. Jiaying, the second guard and the new man who teleported in the room had horrified looks on their faces. I threw away the guard's limp body like it was garbage. "Don't look at me like that... After all, it was you who attacked me and like I had said, if you attack me once again I will snap his neck and I am not a liar" I said in a serious tone and turned my eyes towards the teleporter.
He must be Gordon, the Inhuman who unknowingly gave the information about their base. But this guy doesn't have any eyes... I wonder how Emma was able to get the location from his mind. Hmm... It's possible that he created the image inside his mind after hearing the description of the place from others.
"Jiaying, do you want to say something?" Eric asked curiously. He is yet to make any move... Well, he didn't need to make any moves after all, I was more than enough if I had to take care of them. Raven has already changed back into her true form.
When, I finally killed the Inhuman in my hands, the Inhumans finally got back their memories and they started to glare at Jiaying venomously. "How dare you bitch!!??" the oldest Inhuman roared in anger.
"How dare you play with our memories? You would go to such lengths to silence us?" the man asked looking completely enraged. Jiaying was completely silent and didn't even bother to answer them and made a small gesture towards the teleporter and the second guard in the room. Neither of them did anything but I knew that they would surely do something.
Though I am curious to find out if Gordon noticed the gesture or not?? After all, he is kind of lacking eyes. It is possible that he has some kind of sonar powers too which help him.

"I think I heard something really interesting... You said that Jiaying was trying to silence you, now, I really want to know why did she try to silence you?" Raven asked curiously.
"I would have never revealed this to the outsiders, but you leave me no choice other than this, Jiaying..." the oldest in the group said in a regretful tone and this was when the teleporter acted once again but this time instead of attacking me he attacked the Inhuman who was about to speak up.
But he forgot a small detail, his blade was made up of metal before the teleporter could even reach that Inhuman, Eric stopped him. "Gordon take them!!" Jiaying screamed desperately. She finally showed some kind of expression on her face.
Gordon let go of the blade and teleported behind the group of Inhumans but I Flash Stepped right in front of him and punched him in the face. If compared with my full power it was just a love tap... I didn't want to splatter his brain like a watermelon. He would be an important source of information.
"You messed up Jiaying" I said giving her a condescending look.
"I think you are right Rumi. If she prepared to go to such lengths then it must mean that it must be something important" Eric said with a thoughtful look on his face.
"You guys go back... We will talk later" Eric turned to the Inhumans lived on Elysium and dismissed them. They became really happy and immediately went to leave the room but that is when the second guard decided to attack once again using his waves.
I Flash Stepped in front of the second guard and backhanded him while seriously holding back my power. The man dropped on the floor and spat out several of his teeth along with a lot of blood. Before the guy could try anything else... I cast a Stupify and knocked him out.
"Is there anymore surprises? More reinforcements?" I asked Jiaying in a mocking tone. Before Jiaying could answer Reo Flash Stepped inside the room and the temperature inside the room dropped several degrees.
"Why are you here?" I asked Reo with a confused look on my face.
"I didn't have any plan to make an appearance here but it was Nat who reported to me that blows are being exchanged in the meeting... Now, I find myself really annoyed because my time with Momo and Fleur was interrupted" Reo said in a bold tone... Wow... He is really angry. Jiaying and the Inhumans are fucked.
Even though I have threatened to kill all of them... I still wasn't going to kill all of them mindlessly. I only killed the first guard because I said I would and he still had control over the minds of the Inhumans. But now that Reo is here... Jiaying is going to regret doing anything, I looked towards Jiaying with pity in my eyes.
"I told you not to try anything funny during the meeting but it seems that you didn't take it seriously... Now it is out of my hands" I said with pity in my voice and shrugged my arms.
I could clearly see fear in Jiaying's eyes now but she was still acting like someone tough. "I did what was necessary for my people..." Jiaying started to spout some bullshit about her people but before she could continue, Reo got bored.
"Crucio" Reo said in a bored tone and Jiaying started to scream out her lungs. "Please... You should have tried something knew... That SHIT has become really overused" Reo said in a bored tone and kept using the Cruciatus Curse on Jiaying.
"Reo... Don't break her mind. There are a lot of important information we can get from her mind" I reminded Reo who nodded his head slightly in agreement. After using the Cruciatus Curse on Jiaying for a minute, Reo finally stopped and turned towards the knocked out guy on the floor.
"Looks like you have to pay the price for Jiaying's mistake" Reo said with mocking look on his face and awoke the guard who I had backhanded before. The looked at me with fear in his eyes... But now, he shouldn't be afraid of me after all, Reo is here and he is angry.
Without saying anything Reo fired a skin melting curse towards the man. The man's screams rang through out the room while his skin was slowly melted from his body and after a couple of minutes, the man finally left the world.
"Pity... I still feel unsatisfied..." Reo said looking really depressed. Anyone would think that he was depressed because he killed someone in such a manner but I knew the truth... He was still depressed because he wasn't able to torture Jiaying.
"You can kill the teleporter too" Eric said in a neutral tone. Looks like he also knew the real reason why Reo looked sad.
After hearing Eric, a small smile made its way to Reo's face...

That day, she was brutally slain by a vile, accursed undead being. Though, not even restful eternity awaited her in death. She awakened inside a coffin. Her coffin. During her own funeral wake.

Ancient Mana Dungeon Core.
Yes the tags are necessary, they will make sense eventually too. Art is not mine, found it on pintrest btw the title on the thing apparently has no name, or at least no title that you can search, at least, but i found this: ‘ArtStation - [UE4] Lost Temple Ruins Jonas Axelsson’ (if your curious I was searching ancient temple game art when i found it don’t bother clicking the link on the thing that says facebook, it does not work) (i will not lie this is kinda my first publication so go easy on me). A while ago I fell in love with the Dungeon Core stories and decided: ‘Heck, why not make my own spin on things!’ and so i started brainstorming what to do and i kinda just found the idea for the story during it. This is the story of a guy named Michael Alex (not a typo that is the name I will be using for him) he was an avid fiction writer and reader who was just sitting on his couch playing a puzzle game on his phone called: Ruins of Drailmor Keep (a three in one deal: tower defence, Puzzle (mazes generally), and world building (namely building on the ashes of fallen empires and regulating certain things while the waves of enemies keeps coming back to burn it down and ruin it just like the curse would while ocasionally sending out your own monsters to get rare rescources)) when he gets an alert and well one thing leads to another and he died to a freak avalanche. He then comes into contact with the universe's will (basically something that *insert your prefered deity here* cooperated with to make the world (heaven, hell, the mortal world, yggdrasil, basically every "world" that has been made (in reality, mythology, games, books, cartoons/movies, and memes!) but also had a mind of its own at the same talk.) and Michael and the Universe’s Will talked and this story is about the outcome of said discussion.
