Chapter 44: Transformation

Chapter 44: Transformation

The Terrigen Crystal landed on the ground and shattered into pieces.

A white mist was released from within and quickly spread within the room.

“S-something’s happening!”

Amanda started to panic when she saw her feet suddenly turning into stone.

“Calm down. Your body is being transformed. You will be back to normal soon.

Despite being told so, everyone still couldn’t help but panic a little. Their hearts raced as their body slowly turned into stone.

On the other hand, Benjamin is completely fine as he isn’t Inhuman.

After a few seconds, Jake’s stone layer started to crumble.

Jake took a few deep breaths before finally calming himself down.

He looked at his own hand curiously, seemingly wondering about the changes in his body.

“Is…that it?”

Jake asked.

Benjamin looked at him from top to bottom and saw no change as well.

“How do you feel?”

“I feel fine…but I’m not really sure what power I have…”

Benjamin nodded.

“It must be a power that can’t be seen by the naked eye. We’ll run some tests later to see any changes within you.”

Soon after that, the three Brehe sisters also started to awaken as the rocky layers surrounding them crumbled.

But the way they awakened was different from Jake's.

The first thing Benjamin saw was their eyes.

When the rock layer on their face crumbled, Benjamin could see their eye color had changed.

Before it was a simple black iris. However, it is different now.

Amy had light blue eyes, Alexa had bright red eyes, and Amanda had golden eyes…what’s more, Amy’s previously black hair had now turned light blue as well. The other two's hair also changed but it was subtle as it was the same color as before.

After the head part had crumbled, the rest only took a second as different energies burst out of their bodies and threw all the remaining rock layers out.

From behind them were different colored energies shaped into wings…

Amy had a light blue energy wing that emitted a chill around them. Alexa had a flaming red energy wing that emitted heat. And Amanda had a golden energy wing that seemed almost blinding.

Was it because they were sisters? It seems that their powers were similar to each other.

Although Benjamin was aware that Inhuman siblings don’t really mean they will have similar powers, it seemed that it was the case for these three.

The three sisters looked at each other in amazement.

“Wow! I feel so powerful!”

“I have wings!”

“It feels like a part of me…but at the same time, not…”

At the side, Jake sulked as he stared at them jealously.

“I also want flashy powers…”

Benjamin chuckled and patted his shoulder.

“You’ll have your moment.”

“...”

Ignoring the sulking Jake, Benjamin turned to the girls.

“How is it? Any discomforts? Problems?”

“Nope! I feel amazing!”

“Same!”

“Look, look! I can fly!”

Looking at the energetic sisters, Benjamin smiled.

“These…energy wings. Can you deactivate them or they just stay on?”

“Uhh, I think we can deactivate them. Hold on.”

Amy tested it out first and thought of retracting her wings.

The energy wing on her back then grew smaller until it disappeared.

The others also ran more tests and found that they can only control the energy wings and not shoot out any elemental powers from their limbs.

They can, however, control their wings to shoot energy feathers to attack and it also looked pretty powerful.

Amanda’s golden energy was also quite different from the two as hers has the ability to heal…they found out about this since Jake got bruised due to their excitement earlier and found that Amanda’s energy was able to heal him.

After gaining some basic understanding of their powers, they all left and had them get ranked in the EPD.

Amy and Alexa had B-rank Combat type while Amanda had A-rank Support type. Healing abilities were quite rare after all.

As for Jake…

Benjamin was about to run some tests on him when Jake’s eyes started to whiten the moment he touched his phone.

It only took about a few seconds though as he returned to normal.

“...I understand my ability now…”

“What is it?”

“I can see…memories of objects I touched!”

Benjamin was amazed.

This was…quite an unusual ability.

It should be a type of Clairvoyance but one that sees into the past of an object. This is quite useful. Especially for a Detective.

Imagine just holding the weapon of crime and seeing who the culprit was and how he committed the crime…it was cheating!

However, it wasn’t all-powerful either. He can only see a few hours into the past on average. If he wanted to go further, he would need to concentrate hard and his head will also start to hurt.

Nevertheless, it was still a very useful ability.

“Does this mean if I touched a used condom I’ll get to see the inside of a-”

“Jake, shut up or I’ll make you hold shit and make you see how it comes out of your ass.

“...”

The three girls also stared at Jake in disgust.

Jake’s power was then ranked as A-rank Auxiliary type due to its usefulness in identifying criminals.

After promising the sisters that he’ll make them their suits, the group separated.

Jake complained and said he wanted a suit too but Benjamin chose to ignore him since he didn’t really need one. The girls needed it for protection as their powers were going to be used in battle after all.

While making their suits, Benjamin received a visitor. It was Ophelia.

“You’re making new suits again. Does this mean you have new girls?”

Benjamin smiled wryly at that.

“I don’t only make suits for my girls you know? Didn’t I make Spiderman, Iceman, Daredevil, and the others suits as well?”

Ophelia was also wearing the new suit Benjamin made her.

It was still the same style as her previous suit which was a sleeveless and backless tight suit as well as a pair of long gloves. But instead of being a plain dark green, it now has more details and even scale-like texture on some parts.

The suit itself secretes a type of paralyzing poison so Ophelia is an absolute monster when in close combat as her enemy gets slowed down unwillingly, unable to escape the Viper’s grasp.

Her glove was also equipped with some equipment on the wrist where she can store and shoot out poison.

“True. But those suits look like it's for a woman…three even? You sure are quite relaxed.”

Knowing that he won’t win this conversation as it was true anyway…Benjamin changed the topic immediately.

“So? What’s up? You don’t usually come to find me directly like this. Did something happen in HYDRA?”

Ophelia revealed an ‘I won’ grin before continuing to serious matters.

“There is indeed. Daniel Whitehall has resurfaced. He’s refusing to cooperate with me and wanted to be the new head of HYDRA.”

“Daniel Whitehall?”

Benjamin raised a brow at that.

“What’s he up to?”

“He’s looking for this thing in SHIELD which he called the Obelisk. Said to possess as much power as the Tesseract.”

Benjamin clicked his tongue and shook his head.

That so-called Obelisk is just an alien case for the Terrigen Crystal inside…it isn’t at the level of the Tesseract at all.

He recalled that these should be events following the TV series Agents of SHIELD from his previous world.

However, he had already changed this world a lot. For one, he had detained Grant Ward already before he could even join Coulson’s little group.

Two, Coulson didn’t ‘die’ during the Battle of New York so he wasn’t injected with the GH-325 to resurrect him or have his memory replaced.

And three…HYDRA is already in his palm now. Dealing with this Whitehall guy should be easy.

Naturally, he could just find Whitehall and beat him up but…that guy needs to suffer some more.

Benjamin nodded.

“Alright, I’ll go look for Director Coulson later to have a chat.”

Ophelia then smiled and approached Benjamin.

“How about my reward?”

“Come here you little snake.”

Benjamin gave her a deep kiss first before having her turn around and bend forward.

On her suit, at the crotch area, there is a small zipper that only he and Ophelia knew about which he can use to easily access her pussy without removing the whole suit.

It was actually Ophelia that suggested this…

Since she was already bent down, Benjamin didn’t waste any more time and pounded her from behind!

“Ahh~~ Yess!!!”

Ophelia’s reward took about two more hours as she needed to go and take care of some matters.

Benjamin continued with the suit and managed to finish it before the day ended.

The following morning, Benjamin woke up with Natasha and Rogue naked in his arms.

Seeing them made Benjamin want to cuddle with them for a while longer but he stopped himself and went to work after breakfast.

He handed the suits to the Brehe sisters who all immediately wore them in excitement.

The suit design itself was simple enough and matched their color schemes plus some of their requests.

Then, while wearing the suit, they pulled Benjamin along with them saying they wanted to test its durability in combat.

Benjamin nodded in understanding as it was only normal for them to do so.

However, he was surprised to see them leading him to a hotel room instead…

Because of that, they spent the next few hours in ‘battle’ while they wore their suits and even powered up.

The result was their complete defeat of course…but this time, they managed to last longer than before.

After kissing them goodbye and promising to hang out again sometime, Benjamin proceeded to his next agenda. He went to SHIELD.

He easily entered the Triskelion as if it was his own backyard and walked directly to Coulson’s office who greeted him with a smile.

“Captain Freed. I wasn’t aware you have access to the building?”

“I don’t. I just walked in.”

“Right…well, I believe we haven’t formally met. I’m the new Director of SHIELD, Phillip Coulson.”

Coulson stretched his hand forward to shake his hand which Benjamin received with his.

“Yes. Phillip. Son of Coul. I’ve heard a lot about you.”

“You know, I keep correcting Thor but this thing just keeps spreading.”

Coulson could only smile bitterly at that.

“Anyway, I believe you didn’t travel all this way just to greet me. Is there something you need? Water? Tea? Soda?”

“A soda would be nice actually.”

Benjamin continued with his joke and casually sat down on the sofa nearby.

Coulson was a bit speechless but since he already said it, he can only go through with it.

He opened up a small fridge in his office and took a soda can out and placed it on the table by the sofa. He even placed a coaster below it and handed Benjamin a straw.

“...Thanks.”

Benjamin took the straw and opened up the soda can and drank it to quench his thirst.

Those three girls had really tried to wrung him dry earlier so he was a bit thirsty…

“Well, onto business then. It’s related to HYDRA.”

“HYDRA? Are they still a problem?”

Coulson asked.

“I assume you already heard from Nat about the new head of HYDRA being one of mine?”

“Actually, I still find that hard to believe.”

“Don’t worry, I trust her. But that’s not the problem.”

“There’s always a problem.”

Benjamin chuckled and nodded.

“Well, I wouldn’t call it a huge problem really. While she has most of HYDRA under control, there are some that refused to follow her and instead followed someone else to lead. Daniel Whitehall.”

Benjamin tossed Whitehall’s file on Coulson’s desk for him to read.

“I was told that he’s currently after an artifact under SHIELD’s custody which he calls the Obelisk. It’s the very first 084 of SHIELD I believe.”

Coulson looked up from the file and stared at Benjamin for a while, wondering how he knew about that.

He had also seen that file in Fury’s box.

Fury especially noted how dangerous that object was. If this Whitehall really wanted it, then he’s up to something dangerous.

“So let’s say I believe you. What do you want? Surely it’s not to take this Obelisk from us, right?”

“No. I’m just here to inform you.”

Benjamin stood up.

“Of course, if you want my help, I’ll stay too.”

Coulson fell silent for a while.

On one hand, he wanted to settle this internally and take care of it using only SHIELD agents.

On another hand, Benjamin’s assistance will raise their chances by a large margin.

He looked at Whitehall’s file again and finally sighed.

“Your help will be appreciated. I’ll show you to our best team.”

In the end, he valued the lives of his agents more so he agreed to have Benjamin’s assistance.

Benjamin smiled.

This was how Coulson was different from Fury.

If it was Fury, he would definitely not accept his assistance and settle everything internally.

Benjamin stretched his arm forward again and Coulson shook it with his.

“I look forward to working with you, Director Coulson.”

“Likewise, Captain Freed.”
