"I have a job for you, Beetle. I want you to steal some data within DC's state of defense on several criminal activities against mutants."
Adrian frowned and kept reading about this job that some mystery person had told him via text message. And had already gotten paid with over 5 million dollars in his account. He would get the next five million after he gets the information and sends it back to the one who hired him in the first place. He wasn't sure about this but the thought was to help Mary Jane's club and get their lives better with no trouble onto them. Money helps but also gains that big impact and support as well.
The red-haired teen decied to take the job and didn't tell MJ the full details of it but told her he was going to be in DC for some time for this job. The red-haired beauty didn't mind and hoped that her young lover would be safe on that job.
After walking down the hallways and making sure no one was around, Adrian was able to unlock the doors to the main computer of the office after hours and soon closed the door behind him. He hummed in thought and walked over to one computer that was left on to his surprise but didn't mind it as he got a job to do.
Adrian pushed a button on his wrist technology, revealing his laser webbing for the time, and soon brought out a flash drive to begin collecting data for who hired him. He also began checking on the said data he was collecting, finding serval criminal actions that a few senators were using against mutants and coverups being taking place. He frowned on that and kept digging not knowing a pair of golden eyes were watching him from afar in the shadows of the room.
"I see...so whoever hired me cares about mutants and wants to expose this to the public. Make senses and would make a big outcome to support mutants," Adrian thought, nodding his head in agreement to whoever hired him for this job and wondering who thought.
Soon Adrian was so trapped in his job and collecting all of the data to see it would take a few hours, becoming very unaware that someone was in fact in the room with him and walking slowly towards him with the yellow-slited eyes flashing a predator gleam. A snake was getting ready to strike.
Adrian hummed in thought and saw a few files he was getting for his mystery boss, humming in thought and cupping his chin in thought. Then suddenly felt a sharp object against his throat and his eyes widened to barely see who was behind him but one of the screens of the TV revealed who was behind him with a knife at his neck. The said person was a mature, beautiful woman with long crimson hair, which had a skull-like ornament attached to it right under her forehead, hazel eyes that could see into someone's soul and attract others with their natural beauty, and her skin showed to be completely blue, with her figure being able to outmatch even that of a model.
For her attire, we can see that she was dressed in a tight, white, sleeveless dress, with a belt tied around her waist that looked to be made of skulls, a pair of long, white gloves, and also a pair of long, white high heels boots on her feet.
This was Mystique - Raven Darkholme, one of the deadliest mutants alive, a shapeshifter, and other things.
"You know you are an interesting one, Mr Waston~," Mystique said in a whispered and seductive tone at the ear of the red-haired teen causing some shrive.
"I-I don't know what you are talking about," Adrian tried to defend himself.
"I keep track of different things and so easy to gather information at night clubs. The Jackpot does live up to its namesake," Mystique informed, revealing her trade secrets on going to nightclubs too bars, and so on.
Plus her shapeshifting powers help her out and gather those secrets.
That caused Adrian's eyes to widen in shock and some horror that if Mystique has been hanging out in Jackpot. And knows his name, meaning she knows about Mary Jane and could harm her in some way. He tried to control himself to not show his anger and didn't help with a knife at his neck to strike back.
"I wonder if that sweet manger of yours is feeling lonely of late?" Mystique asked with a teasing smirk and giggled when Adrian tried to fight but stopped when the knife got closer to his neck and sat back down in the office chair.
"Easy little beetle~," Mystique teased, much to Adrian's shock as she knew but how?
"You are wearing some wristwatches that were able to shoot laser webbing and hack a few things. And you have the same voice as the new Beetle has been flying around," She added as her breath hit the right ear of Adrian and blushed but yet angry at this and trying his best to control himself.
Adrian was now in deep water or rather in a pit with a deadly snake. He kept himself under control and did not react, thinking of ways to not only collect the data and escape from Mystique. Easier said than done as a fight would take place, knowing what the rumors of the deadly shapeshift assassin were like. Even the memories of MJ showed him was to get the truth from the data and keep his secrets to make sure safety comes.
"I got a few choices here, but all of them result in a fight and I need to collect the data for my mystery caller. And I need to make sure my secret along with MJ's is kept safe as well. So, a few options but all result in a fight with a snake. I might have to take my chances," Adrian thought, remaining calm and waiting for the snake to lower her guard a bit.
Then the beetle may strike his sting but couldn't withstand the fangs of a snake? We shall see.
