《A marvel rise》Chapter 4 rewrite

Alex groan as he got off the bed. "Hell of a day." His stomach cried out in protests. "Guest il eat, before I figure this out." He looked at the clock he'd sleap a little over seven hours. "One more hour before check up." He stumbled toward the kitchen, he looked down on the dried rations that stared back at him. Sigh "Looks like flavour mooch it is, so what im I in the mood for? Is it beef and apples or pineapple and pork." Looking at the two dried ration, he just shut his eyes and twisted his finger in the air, droping it down toward the rations.
"Woopy I get peas and ham." He said in a mocking enthusiastic tone. He set about preparing his meal. As he waited he started to place the puzzle pieces together. Ok what did he know, the assailant was probably not their to kill him off first chance he got. Witch means he wanted something from him. So what are the thing only he knows.
That the world he live in is base off of a bunch of comic book writer, unlikely, what else? "Shit im the only one the could get to." Alex realise that this no doubt involved the good doctor. Hydra had found the doc but with the amount of protection surrounding him, they figured that a direct approach was to risky. So going for his familly was better, the only snag was their was only one person that could lead them to his brother and niece. "Come for me, get answer, and as a nice little bonus they get to kill someone that mest up their plans in the past."
"Only the agent they sent was sloppy, not that i mind much, better him dead then me." Taking a plat out and placing his meal in it he sat down at the table, mechanically chewing on what he tried to convince himself, as good food. "So if they failed with me whats their next move?" Alex went over different plans, he came up that the most likely plan was assassination like in the movie or the comic book.

He liked the old prof, yeah sure he first targeted him for the formula. With time he'd grown on him, their weekly breakfast was one of the only high lights he had.
The saving of his niece and getting his brother and him out of the country, forge a deep relationship with him and his niece, as for his brother it felt like he was tolerated. He melod down thanks in part to his new wife. Hell he event gave up on the serum, he'd figured that he wasn't meant to be captaine america. So he started learning different languages, especially older languages that had a root in magic. So far it was slow especially since he was studying by himself, he was still looking for some teachers but it wasn't easy went he had so little time for himself.
He clean up after himself, making sure not to leave any evidence behind. And headed back out their, he needed to go to a different safe house in order to make the call.
15 min later he enter a new safe house, making his way to the phone he dialed. "The owl has hunted, the fox is back in the chicken coop." He said.
"The parrot has heard, do you want a peach or cracker?" The voice on the other side said.
"Peach." He said
"Director Lamberge would like a word in person." The voice said.
Groan could be hear on the other side. "Fine, but later, I have to secure my asset first." Alex responded with a pain in ass expression, he did not like his boss all that much the man was an idiot. Many a times he gave him task that was mind boringly pointless, all in that point to asserting his dominance.
His boss resented him because, he humilated some son of a friend and well lets just say that thing got ugly fast and a feud was born. The worst was that Lamberge had the muscle to tranfer him over to his department, he then made his life hell, by being a stickler for rules, but only to him. To everyone one else he was a good boss. He tried many time to send a complaint or ask for a transfer, but everytime he was denied. The fact that Lamberge insisted on reviewing every single piece of paper, that past his hand, trying in his own way to find fault on him. Just made it worst.

"No, Director Lamberge wants you in yesterday. He was not happy that you went dark instead of coming in." The voice said.
"Ah for the love of God, I need to secure my assets, they could be in danger, if who ever attack me gets to any of my assets i need to reloc...."
"No exceptions, your coming in now or the agency sends a team after you." The voice said in a cold, but calm tone.
Alex grited his teeths, this wasn't that suprising considering his boss and boss's boss. Lamberge being a dick had spread rumors about his loyaty around. And since then as much as he tried they never really trusted him again, his intelligence was once looked at as one of his strengh became a weakness in Lamberge silver liying tong, and ever since then it away made then paranoids, that he was hiding something. Which to be fair he was, but he never hid anything missions related, he alway gave his all in following orders. The thing he held back was him being recarnated and about the possible future of the marvel universe.
"Il come in, where the meet?" He said as he calm himself down by counting down, trying to remain clear headed.
"56th, parking lot, one hour, a car will pick you up." The voice said still in that calm tone.
The pick up went without a hitch, the ride over was cramp. With two in front and Alex in back between two goons, who keep giving him a stoic death staire. Once they got to the location his escort stick to him like glue. It would have been nice except, the four made no effort to hide the contempt they had for him. Again his reputatio, curtise of Lamberge, creating a barrier, he personally found the fact, that higher up attitude toward the rumors spun by that fat slab of meat frustrating.
On one hand they use him to uncover things they had difficulty figuring out, and making it clearer to understand. And on the other the fact that they needed to go trought him to figured it out, made them nervous, since for a brief moment thing were out of their control.
As he got out of the elevator he was directed to a double wood door. His escorted stop and motion him to go in. Not bothering to nod he simply followed in the direction of the doors. Walking in the room, their was desks pack together in the middle were an army of women where typing away. On the sides office were men, their were some that was going trought files, others were on the phone.
Alex walk toward the back, their he found a lady that was typing away, she didn't stop typing as she said. "He'll be with you in a few minutes sit over their and wait." She motion with her head, not even looking up away from her work.
Alex made his way to a chair, this was going to be a long wait.

Memories of the Fall
This is a story about two sisters, Jun Arai and Jun Sana, and their friends, Juni, Ling and Shu who make their living as members of the Hunter Bureau, an organisation dedicated to dealing with the terrifying flora and fauna endemic to their home Great World. When they get dragged into a grand scheme to unpick the ancient secrets entombed within one its foremost forbidden zones in their world, the Yin Eclipse Mountains, they must all try to survive the dark machinations, eldritch undercurrents and the echoes of a terrible conflict trying to re-emerge into an unsuspecting cosmos that had rather hoped it was done with that kind of thing a few eras hence. So please come join Arai, Sana, Juni, Ling, Shu and the rest of my cast as they journey through strange lands, meet all kinds of unusual beings and unravel some of the power and glory of a land time tried very hard to forget. I promise terrifying mushrooms, angry snakes, confused gods, even more confused cultivators and much, much more! Update schedule: (02/6/2022) As chapters are done, sorry. Progress: Currently up to old chapter 13-15. Chapter 24(or 25)/13, Parts 1 & 2 will be the end of the rework. Part 2 has been temporarily delayed due to me getting a frozen shoulder in the middle of June, which has been very slow to properly clear up. It is getting better, though, but Shoulder/neck is the worst set of muscles to have issues with ;( You can currently pick up most story threads after the rewritten chapters, starting from chapter 13-14 (old) Genre-wise, this is a bit hard to pin down. It's technically a Xianxia (because cultivators!), but it also veers towards Xuanhuan and has more traditional High Fantasy elements and a bit of Gods and Monsters and All Myths Are (on some levels) Valid. It also has a fairly large, ensemble cast, so if multiple point's of view are not your thing I am sorry. It won't ever really be considered 'grimdark' by any real measure of that definition but it does go to some complicated and fairly places dark occasionally, which I will note in author pre-chapter notes when expedient!. About the Author I mainly write fiction for my own hobby, it makes a nice change from academic scribbling! I started writing this quite a number of years ago. It has grown somewhat organically out of a bunch of different interests in all kinds of Mythology, World Building, Drawing Maps, Archaeology, Anthropology, History and Epic Fantasy fiction into what it is today. So I hope you enjoy the story and thanks for reading! Other stuff The cover is made by the author, using photos taken by the author.
