Meeting Natasha at a bar

Nighttime quietly came

The island was quite and the sea breeze blew with a slight coolness.

Kai felt a little discomfort, Although he could absorb Aether unimpeded but he absorb too much and his capacity is full. Just like when he devoured ability's there was a limit, if he go past the limit it's easy to get out of control.

When he devour Aether's energy, his body will automatically adjust and remove the side effects. The speed in which he adjust are the same so if he absorb faster and more then what his body could handle then there will be problems.

Kai have started to experience the feeling of temptation and his mind is not so calm.

He got up and left the spaceship.

After leaving the spaceship, Kai stroll around the island feeling the evening breeze.

This is the first time he has enjoyed the night view on an island. It was very different from what is seen during the day. Kai suddenly wanted to drink, Light flashed and he flew through the night sky. After a while he landed in the middle of a bustling city.

Everywhere there were endless people.

Kai walked down the street to find a bar. Along the way Kai saw many women with lots of make up on and wearing exposing clothes. Obviously they were working...Cough* their job is a little special.

While walking two women came up to him but he ignored them. He came to a bar that looked good. The lights inside were a little dim and there wasn't many people. It was both lively yet quite, He looked around looking to find a seat. At the corner of his eyes there was an acquaintance.

Kai was a little surprise, he did not expect to see her and neither did she. Kai first went to bartender and ordered a few bottle of beer before he walked over.

"I didn't expect to meet you here" Kai sat down and said casually.

"Me neither, it seems today will be an unforgettable evening?" Natasha snarl.

Yes, This acquaintance was Natasha.

Black leather pants, T-shirt, Black leather jacket, Looks cool and full of charm.

Kai shook his head "I just found a bar yet your here before me, is this a coincidence?"

"Do you think I was here for you?" Natasha raised an eyebrow and shook her head "Then your wrong, I'm here on other matters"

"Oh?"

Kai opened a bottle and pour beer in a cup and handed it over, he asked curiously "What is it? Don't tell me your just here for a drink?"

Kai then took a sip.

"What about you?" Natasha asked without answering.

"Me? I'm simply here to drink" Kai said casually and took another mouth full.

"Do you see a table to your left? Look at the bag on the chair" Natasha whispered.

Kai glance to his left side and saw three youngsters, two men and one woman and a duffel bag on a chair, inside it was a stick like object that stuck out because of the length.

"It seems you not here just to drink" Kai turned his head to Natasha "Will I interrupted your mission or should I go to a different bar?"

Natasha gave him a sullen look and said "Com on, you still want to leave? Do you know the stick that's inside the bag is? The stick is very special and seems to contain a kind of violent energy. This group has killed many innocent people, my mission is to take the stick and figure out its origin"

"This shouldn't be difficult" Kai said undecided.

"Can't you offer a helping hand? Don't forget your a consultant of SHIELD. Although it's just a baseless title can't you stand by?" Natasha asked.

"I didn't come here to work" Kai shook his head "I simply came here to drink"

"Aiya! How bout, when we finish this we can find a quite place to drink" Natasha pleaded.

Although Kai knew Natasha didn't really need help, Kai couldn't just refuse can he? Although he was only here to drink, helping her deal with these brats were trivial.

"Alright, what do you want me to do?" Kai asked in a low voice.

Natasha smiled and said "Really? This place is not suitable. We can take action after leaving, our goal is the stick"

"Kay" Kai responded lazily while sipping his beer.

Although he's seen the stick for the first time he already knows what it is. He thought it'll be in Phil's hand later but didn't expect Natasha to come first.

As for helping Natasha? It's a small matter.

Even if Natasha didn't asked for help he would've taken it himself. However...This thing won't be handed to her or SHIELD.

"How's your base?" Natasha asked and drank.

"It's definitely not easy, If I had more people the progress wouldn't be so slow"

"How about asking Nick? I'm sure he'll be happy to help"

"Nah..." Let Nick help? Forget it, that cunning fox will probably change some stuff so he'll benefit from it.
