Ch.14

While the games all became a massive hit, Wanda, Natasha, Jean and Jessica beat me up a bit when their storylines were far more traumatic and my own was extremely bleak. When I was done healing, I told them that it was just the futures I saw of them right before I'd interfered and they weren't those women so they needn't be mad. They beat me upside the head again saying they weren't mad about that, just mad at how much of a cold boring person my character was when I wasn't like that.

I calmed them down and told them that it was my life before I'd met them. I kissed Jean's neck saying it was before she accepted the animal in me. I pulled Natasha in my arms saying it was before she made me desire something more. I pulled Wanda into my arms saying it was before she made me smile genuinely and next was Jessica. "It was before you made me love, all of you."

She snorted as I grabbed her ass and pulled back saying it was before I was addicted to sex with them I meant. I shrugged and ground my hard on against her stomach before asking if she was saying no. Jessica grabbed me and threw me onto the bed before she stripped Wanda, Jean, Natasha and herself. I was the one ravaged in the end I think.

They all laughed when I made a mock cry of mercy before Wanda slid atop me saying mercy was for the weak and I was anything but weak. I soon had Jessica riding my face while Jean and Natasha were going down on each other. It was a tough life, but someone had to live it, 😉. Anyways, I felt the power stone being used and watched as Fury had the celestial seed dumped on a dead planet when Ego the living planet activated it.

The next year came and with it more of Hydra fell fast as Shield tipped off the Ten Rings thanks to Maria Hill taking over Shield when Coulson stepped down. TR and Stark Industries finished overhauling the power, sewer and water grids for America, Canada, Mexico and began in many other countries as TR Industries began selling power globally. Stark couldn't do it alone since his company was entirely US based except the factories so TR Industries took over in that department.

When a Kree temple was activated by Daisy Johnson, aka Skye, my old device monitoring Kree signals on earth went off and I confronted one of my old Kree abductors. Before the Ten Rings or Sif when she arrived could react, I opened up a vibe portal inside the Kree warrior and killed him instantly. My downright cold and murderous expression made Fury and Sif back up.

I stomped on and crushed the head of the Kree warrior's corpse which gave way having been hollowed out from the inside.

I turned and left coldly saying he came to hunt Inhumans because someone went to the old Kree city and activated the signal by going through terrigenesis. A chapter was devoted on terrigenesis in my personal biography as Fury well knew. He grimaced and said he'd find out who and get rid of the cloaked ship in orbit. I turned to him and sighed, telling him. "Give Hill my old book. It matters not anymore whom reads it now, I'm no longer the leader of the Ten Rings and those talked about in it are long dead."

I turned to the now blue corpse. "Most of them anyways."

He nodded slowly and said he'd give it to her today. I shrugged and left via vibe portal as I held up a hand. Sif came with me, telling Fury that she was sent because Asgard detected the Kree ship and wanted to know if there'd be a war. Sif spoke with Jessica and Wanda at home while I went to Attilan.

I appeared in the Royal chamber without warning or notice and the guards attacked only to be put on their asses. Blackbolt stopped them when I tossed a crest to the ground. Medusa picked it up and asked where I got it. I grunted. "It's mine, child. I'm the Ancient, one of the first Inhumans and one of those that survived to build this city."

I slit my throat and it healed instantly in front of their eyes. "I'm immortal and unkillable though that's because I'm a Metahuman as well as an Inhuman."

I told them my story and that of the Ten Rings before and after the Kree before finishing with the fact that one of the Inhuman descendants activated the old Kree temple and went through Terrigenesis. I asked if it was one of theirs and Blackbolt shook his head before I sighed. "If Kree ships come in bulk again, keep your people in the dome. If they're outside on the moon's surface they'll be detected and everything here could fall apart."

Medusa thanked me for the warning and handed me the emblem back, asking what a Metahuman was. I told them about the dead celestial in the earth's ocean and how some humans were effected and had the dormant Metahuman gene. I told them how they were once called humans until a war nearly broke out and a powerful psychic erased all knowledge of them from the collective human body.

I told them how my mutant power and Inhuman powers differed, showing them my claws and telling them as I put them away. "There are enhanced humans, Metahumans and Inhumans living on earth now. Though earth's opinions on those topics vary from awe to not knowing for now. Still, they're aware that they aren't alone in the galaxy. For now that's the best we can hope for. I'm attempting to introduce the idea of being more accepting and with the enhanced serums around, no one's out of the loop if necessary."

Blackbolt's brother, Maximus, asked if they should not rule them all then. I glared at them and spoke coldly. "Earth is not a kingdom to be ruled and anyone that tries will die by the Ten Rings. Earth is a protected world you can live amongst, but they're not your subjects boy, nor are you in anyway better than them because of whatever power you have. You misunderstand what it means to rule if you think you're better than your subjects or those around you."

I waved a hand. "Inhumans are no better or worse than humans, they're simply different because of a random genetic change due to the Kree tinkering with our insides. Your ancestors came here because they didn't wish to be judged differently and those that remained hid out of fear because they knew what all humans will eventually learn, we're all human in the end, no more or less better than they are of us."

I made a portal and sighed. "A true king is a servant of his people, seeing to their needs above his own. The only power a king has is the final decision when someone breaks the law and needs punished or if they're to go to war or not. Both those decisions should keep you awake at night because if they don't then the crown would suit you ill. You would be a tyrant and tyrants always die bloody."

I turned to Blackbolt while Maximus frowned saying he was my prince. I told him as cold as a glacier. "I have no prince nor king, fool. Do not presume because I'm Inhuman that I obey anyone's laws. With a thought my portal can expand to encompass the dome and open it up to the harshness of space, kill most of you before I tear apart the rest like I did the Kree soldiers that dared give me orders."

He paled and the portal began to grow until Medusa asked me not to, saying he didn't speak for them or Attilan. The portal shrank and I smirked. "To make things clear, I meant instantly. My portals are subject to my whim size wise so growing it slowly is just as easy as making it massive in the blink of an eye."

I turned back to Blackbolt. "Be careful silent king, not all thrones are easy and the crown is very heavy when family is involved. What will make you a great king can make you a bad family man. Duty over family, that's why I stopped leading the Ten Rings and gave up my ring weapons. I tired of the crown long before someone could take it from me by force. I don't envy you."

I turned and left to Afterlife next and spoke with the elders. A blind teleporter told them that I was an Inhuman and who I said I was when I told them of the Kree temple being activated and my having killed the Kree sent to hunt the ones who used the old temple. I told them to be careful because more Kree ships may come and they have ways of tracking our people. I told them I'd warned Attilan as well and they asked who that was.

I frowned and told them that Attilan was the Inhuman city on the moon in a cloaked dome. I told them that unlike them, the ancient Inhumans sought to separate themselves from humans entirely for fear of reprisals from their own families and kin. I told them that the other ancient inhumans chose not to fight or be hurt because they knew that they were still human in the end and they didn't want conflict after all their people had been through already with the Kree.

They asked what really happened so I told them of the true horrors of the Kree and how they were far from angels, blue or not. I told them that only a few fools worshipped them because of their technology and strength beyond normal humans. I told them of Hydra, it's beginning and how we booted it off earth as well as those that worshipped it amongst the inhumans and humans alike.

I told them how Hydra affected history up to World War Two before nearly being destroyed only to be revived inside Shield before they were recently weeded out and slaughtered by myself and the Ten Rings. I told them how Shield was now as it was meant to be, but Hydra was still alive outside of Shield like a festering wound wanting to bring back a being that could strip away our free will and consume all life that isn't inhuman and even Inhumans if it gets hungry enough.

They didn't like this news, but then who would. The teleporter said I wasn't lying about any of it having listened to my heartbeat the entire time. I opened a portal and told them I was going home since I'd warned both groups of Inhumans of the threat and neither group is responsible for the ancient Kree city temple activation. Jianyin asked me to stay for a bit and I shook my head, saying I wasn't interested in Afterlife or Attilan so I was staying out of it unless more Kree showed up, then I'd kill all their precious blue angels.

I left as they flinched and didn't hear from anyone on the matter until Coulson's team showed up just after Sif left several days later. Skye had awakened her Inhuman side and needed to learn how to safely control her powers. I had her use her power on me and she did, ending up finding out her power didn't work on me. I told them her powers were vibrations and mine were similar only more refined and less wide spread destruction.

Coulson asked if that meant I could help and I nodded. "I can, but she'll need a suit with healing nanites to repair the micro fractures in her hands. Vibranium weave will help focus her powers though it'll have to be specially made with Uru."

I tapped my chin and told them to leave her here or prepare to stay a few months because it was going to take time. Coulson asked if there was anyway to teach her in between work and I gave him a droll stare. "Perhaps you're failing to grasp the seriousness of her condition. A fresh terrigenesis inhuman isn't their peak power. Over time her powers will grow until she's able to manipulate or destroy the world if left unchecked, vibrating the continental shelf to bits or shaking the core of the world until it cracks the work like a bomb."

They paled and Skye freaked out only I held up a hand, neutralizing her power and stopping the shaking almost as soon as it started. I turned to her. "Deep breaths and relax, I can teach you but it will take time, meditation and possibly a dead destroyed planet or two. No biggie, we'll have suits and magic to protect us and I can portal us away. If you master your powers I can potentially teach you how to vibrate a portal into existence and even use it as a weapon beyond silly vibration waves that shake things."

I made a vibration energy ball and held it up before letting her feel and touch it. I dispelled it and Coulson said he'd let their bosses know. Jessica said she'd go help them on missions since there wasn't much to do in her free time while I'm busy and the kids are at daycare anyways. She said Wanda was chilling in Nepal while Natasha and Jean were helping the Ten Rings.
