[It goes on for a while... If you want something you will have to specify.]
"Right. Well, i found the Rune magic interesting, could I get that."
[Oh, Rune magic is it? Cool, you got it!]
"Thanks sis."
I watched my Diamonds deflate to half of what it was before as in seconds I started to have info downloaded into my head. Abstract knowledge about how magic can be made permanently fixed to a spot, how it can be used in the form of runes during combat. The system of using it.
"Ughhh, th-this will be handy."
[Ding! Rune Knowledge uploaded to Host, Evolving Title Granted: Rune Apprentice]
"That's cool, anyway... Maybe I should get onto my actual mission now. This is all a bit much right now sis, I need to blow off some steam..."
[Okay, I'll be here when you need me.]
"Mhm, thanks."
I started to stretch my muscles as I got up from my seated position on the floor. I started to slowly hum as I looked outside. The sun was blistering the air causing some subtle heat mirages as the air-conditioning in the room tickled my skin in a cool embrace.
'Reminds me of Australia... Maybe I should go back there at some point.'
'Wait, it's day time... Shouldn't it be night time?'
[Nope, you slept a whole entire day...]
'Shit, they could be on their way to Monaco by now.'
"Go."
The space around me warped and bent, the molecules twisting and turning before I appeared right in the middle of the private jet that Tony was taking to Monaco. In front of me I saw Tony, Pepper and their new secretary all sitting down having drinks. Tony was slowly stirring a scotch whilst Pepper was having a small glass of wine, the secretary I didn't really give a shit about.
"Hello. Good to see you again."
I made myself known causing both Tony and Pepper to almost spill their drinks as they moved forward quickly from surprise. Tony coughed a little as he quickly tried swallowing the scotch that he had in his mouth.
"E-Emelia, what are you doing here?"
He struggled to stop his coughing as he asked me, his hand slowly backing away from the suitcase beside his chair. I looked towards Pepper and she was also slowly removing her hand from her own suitcase.
'Ha Ha, it's so fun messing with them... Now i know why some people just teleport into conversation!'
A smile graced my lips as they both looked at me, I had a Luminous Veil in front of my face again as I walked forwards. I got close to a seat and firmly plonked myself onto it, the secretary opposite to me looked at me a bit frightened. I got a tingle within my body as I looked at her, heat started to slowly build in my chest and down below as I looked at her blonde hair and hazel eyes.
'What is this feeling?'
[Your Awakened Sin of Lust...]
'Shit, why hasn't it affected me up to this point?'
[It wasn't Awakened before was it?]
'Fuck, you right...'
I started to feel the urge to flirt with her, my control on the Luminous Veil slowly starting to waver as the urge built and built.
'ENOUGH!'
The urge slowly started to fade into a background feeling, the heat still maintaining its fervour.
"T-Tony, does this private jet have any spying devices?"
"Huh? No It definitely shouldn't."
'Sis, Create a spell to disable any electronics of a certain type that I want... Wait, just make an anti-spying ward for me, make it instantly caste-able and only require me to speak the name of the spell.'
[Ding! Succeeded in creating the magic: {Discretio Aegis}]
[Merging {Discretio Aegis} into {ASTRA DOMINA}]
[Abilities of the {Discretio Aegis} segmentum of {ASTRA DOMINA}: Warding against tracking, mind reading, scrying, listening spells and technology, distorts the visage of anyone within the radius of the ward, creates a minor false temporal fluctuation distorting the capability of people who can see in time. This only works against beings of equal or lesser power than you.]
'Holy shit! How did it get so powerful!?'
[It merged with your *GREATER* spell {Astra Domina}, it got it's powers enhanced somewhat. For your information, you will soon run out of capacity on the {Astra Domina} spell and will be required to make another *GREATER* spell, or go back to collecting individual spells.]
'O-okay sis, right I'll keep that in mind.'
I slowly emanated magic outwards before creating a dome of {Discretio Aegis} around all of us. Tony and Pepper saw nothing however as they just noticed me place my right hand out. After the dome was implemented I started to use En and looked around the whole entire cabin of Tony's jet. I felt numerous listening devices and cameras around.
"Okay, I've just covered us in an anti-spying magic, were all good to talk... By the way Tony, your plane is covered in listening devices and cameras. You may want to look into that."
"What in the fuck, how dare they spy on me like this!? I even swept the plane with my tech I couldn't detect anything!"
"Well, it isn't really your fault they are hidden extremely well and seem to be somewhat shielded from electronic detection it seems."
"Hmmm, I'll have words to Fury about this!"
"Calm down Tony..."
"Now that we have complete secrecy."
I slowly took off my veil my features slowly being revealed. Tony and the secretary were stunned whilst Pepper just blushed slightly before looking at Tony. Tony was gobsmacked his jaw hanging a little as he stared at me, it didn't last long however as he closed his mouth and coughed a little, looking in the direction of Pepper; who now was squinting her eyes at him. The secretary looked completely red as she looked at me, I noticed the slight movement of her legs as they arched towards each other, as if trying to hold something in.
'Heh, I'm now a sex god...'
[Wouldn't take it that far yet... But yes you can pretty much attract most people to you.]
'So what your saying is, I'm a sex god.'
[Haaah, sure, whatever.]
"Yes, hello, this is me in my true visage... Sorry about the surprise, I didn't want to keep up a façade much longer, at least not in front of you guys, Fury however, yeah he can go sit on a steel pipe."
"Beautiful..."
That came from the secretary who looked slightly dazed. I looked at her as she said that. Soon after I started to smell something that I had only smelt once in my life. 'Oh, she likes me that much...'
'Mmm, it's so hard to control myself.'
[...]
"Ahum!"
Tony coughed breaking my gaze away from the secretary who was having troubles containing herself. After I did that however she quickly up and left, heading towards the bathroom. I was half tempted to follow after her but decided not to.
"Yes Tony, what is it?"
"I'm the only one who should be getting action on MY private jet, thanks... But anyway, why are you here? Weren't you going to meet us at the Grand Prix?"
"Firstly, none of your business. Secondly yes but I decided against it... What if you have trouble on the plane ride over? I couldn't in good conscious leave you to fend for yourself, especially because of my mission."
Tony rolled his eyes slightly at the first part of my words but quickly became serious as i got further on. Pepper looked outside of the window now looking at the sky and clouds around, as if she could detect enemies before I could just by looking.
"Fine, stay, just no hitting on my secretary, she's new and I don't want her leaving... I have enough problems with Stark Industries as it is, stupid government."
He looked out of the window he was seated next to his eyes scanning the surroundings of the jet as if an enemy could leap from them at any moment.
"You don't have to worry, I have expanded my powers so that I can detect anything around the jet."
"Hmm, okay, still doesn't sit right with me not to keep my eye out though."
"Fair enough... Oh, by the way, why do you not react to me using magic?"
"That's a long story."
'Interesting, he definitely isn't the Tony from the movies...'
