Evan Seized: Agent Y's POV

Chapter 11: The Striking Duel

 After raiding the obscure warehouse in Los Angeles, the rest of MIB and SHIELD were arresting some Inhuman guards and other bad guys. The others were clearing the scene. Some of them were neuralyzing the bystanders, cops, and other people who witnessed the incident. The other surviving Inhumans were rescued as they were taken into custody. Agent E and our fellow MIBs brought Omega and his team to New York for their temporary stay into the nerve post.

Staying at the recovery room, the medics from SHIELD examined my health after my severe hemorrhage and death from taking too much blood out of my body. I patiently sat on the bed as they finished their procedure on me. They left me when I was taking a serum which they prescribed. Then, someone knocked on the door. I instantly stood up and opened it.

" Are you supposed to be resting this time?" the tall half-Asian man noticed my instant improvement. He brought a basket of fruits for me to eat.

" Sir, thank you for the goodies." I took an orange and began eating. " I'm getting a little better than before, but the doctors have told me to rest before I resume to work. " I curiously asked and noticed him wearing his standard MIB uniform. " What happened to your black Avenger coat?"

" Doom's androids ripped it off," P sighed and crossed his arms. " Stark told me that it would take time to restore it."

" So, that's why I saw you transformed into your dangerous burning self," I smiled and held his hand. P was blushing at that moment." Being an Inhuman is a really piece of cake for you! It's very interesting to see you that way."

" I lost my head when Alveus took you."

" Thanks for saving my life, P. I could have died back there." I sincerely answered. I noticed my superior-boyfriend's warmest smile for the first time. It was really unusual for him to do. Both of us remembered our kiss earlier which it was the most unforgettable moment we had. I touched his face when he put his hand into my cheek. We were about to do it again when he was about to speak.

" By the way sunshine," he said. " I need to talk to Dr. Raze for a while. It will be better for you to rest. "

" Sir, if you don't mind, I am coming with you,"

" You've just come from your severe hemorrhage. I don't think..."

" I am also an Inhuman like you. Partly, perhaps," I confidently replied. " Thank you for sharing your blood to me. The doctors found me improving for my health. Well, I'm getting curious to those people who you've met. I want to see them."

" All right," P relented. " If you want to meet him, you'll come with me. But in one condition..."

" What is it?"

" You should take your rest afterwards. I don't want my junior agent to worsen her condition upon recovery. Is that understood?"

" Yes, sir." I stood up and took my blazer coat. We left the room as we were heading to the other side of SHIELD HQ's infirmary. It was a physician named Raze who went out of the surgical room. We also saw another Mobian man waiting at the bench for hours.

" Doctor, can you tell us who is that person over there?" I asked.

" It's his wife, miss." Raze answered. " She suffered from a terrible slash and large stab wound done by the WITCH agent."

" When did this happen?" P also asked.

" It was several hours ago when we had our battle against our enemies. This is her husband Matty. He decided to share a part of his body in order to treat her effectively. A part of his skin and other organs will be with her. By the way, the patient's name is Onyx."

While we were interrogating and conversing, a strange man and one of Doom's androids were observing at the hall in clever disguises . It was Alveus who gave the signal to the sniping robot as it was targeting.

" Now take down, Pyromaniac and that surgeon over there," he said. " Let's see if they could survive. That hero deserves to be gone! Could predictably kill this one, but that body modularity this one has, you just destroy that curvy anthro body."

The android aimed at the Avenger and the physician, but Alveus saw me alive which he never expected. He glanced at the robot and changed its tactics

" Well, how about that one? She's supposed to be dead earlier," he maliciously grinned. " Let's see if he cries like Coulson did." The android triggered his rifle arm as the flying bullets hit me in the chest. I fell down when P took me into his arms. Daisy and Kitty just arrived in time to see the shooter as tremors were everywhere in the place. Alveus and his sniping humanoid quickly ran away.

"There! We'll take care of Y!" Kitty said.

" Just go chase those infiltrators!" Daisy added.

Agent P bursted and flickered his fingers as he saw the android. He scorched it when Alveus was about to defeat the other burning Inhuman. He escaped as P tried to chase him. Meanwhile, Kitty phased off after entering my jacket and shirt. Daisy was just staring at me as I was laughing through the pain. She found it too unusual as she sighed.

" Wow! You have such nice skin," Kitty said. "Oh! How cute, you have a tattoo of you and your friends as chibies between your shoulder blades!"

" Had it... Done.. Back in Beacon.. academy. How... Bad?I..was...about...to...remove...that..."

" Simmons?" Kitty noticed another SHIELD scientist as she had come from the lab. Jemma started to treat me with Dr. Raze

" The shell melted over your heart, you're gonna have a big bruise on your chest."

" You might have cracked ribs. I guess you protected yourself with your inhuman fire semblance. Your blood seemed to be invulnerable." Jemma said and turned to Daisy and Kitty. " Please get some ice and towels in the pantry and the supplies room."

" I will get the towels," Daisy added.

" I'll get some ice for you." Kitty nodded.

Few minutes later, I returned to the recovery room as Agent P was silently sitting beside me and thinking. I kept eating the oranges as I offered him. He took it as he ate.

" Did you know who shoot me? "

" It's Alveus and Doom's android. I was about to scorch him but he left."

" He was after me again, wasn't he?"

" He used a machine to target you." he replied and took his phone from his jacket. " I've received a warning from Flagsmasher. Doom is using androids for Inhuman killing spree. They are targeting everyone of us. Morgenthau has given me a location to infiltrate the enemy base. It requires me to work on a solo mission again."

" Sir, I should go with you." I replied.

" Agent Y, please. You need to get fully recovered. This is not the right time for you to join me." P answered and tightly hugged me. " I don't want to lose you just like my late wife."

" I don't want that to happen to you too. " I replied and hugged him back.

" If anything happens, you have to return to New York and wait for me there."

" I will," I replied. " Please take care of yourself there."

" I'll see you in Battery Park, sunshine." he kissed my cheeks.

" Yes sir,"

He left SHIELD as he was headed to the highway and speeding up. P straightly went to the exact destination. It was an abandoned Hollywood mansion which it seemed like a haunted house in horror movies. He entered the place which it was full of 19th and 20th century-old European furnitures and objects around the house. P found a library which he knew it was an interesting part of the mansion. He held a book as the shelf opened. He found a secret passage which it seemed like a tunnel. He headed himself to the elevator when he saw a shadowy figure from the corner. Instead of scorching himself, he took his Icer gun from his jacket and pointed at the figure. It was a grayish-white haired man who slowly moved his head to the left. He felt agitated as he saw an MIB beside him.

" Karl Morgenthau," the half-Asian MIB mentioned the man's name. " You have committed several violations to the MIB and SHIELD protocols."

" Well, Hacking is my favorite hobby," the German-Swiss man grinned. " I did this for the benefit of saving and ruling the world into a better place. Thanks to HYDRA and the White Fang, these terrorist factions helped me to create ULTIMATUM. In my new group, people will learn the truth from your darkest secrets."

P controlled himself to get angry and burning. He stared at the man as he kept pointing his pistol. Morgenthau became uneasy and sweating.

" Why are you working for Doom?" he asked.

" I'm giving him the leads though, but I spy on him as well. I'm trying to give him a sense of diplomacy, however he pushed me to the limits. I am tired of doing his dirty work in hacking people and leading to the extinction of the Inhumans. I want to do a real job."

" How can you be trusted? You are the worst human scumbag! "

" I want to help you. I'm turning against Doom's evil plans." Morgenthau answered as he guided P to an elevator which they were going down to an underground hideout. P and Morgenthau saw the androids, equipment, and the other laboratory supplies which he had used. P looked at the Inhuman replicas which he saw. They were placed in a glass cell.

" They must be objects for killing the civilians and the other Inhumans." P said as he speculated.

" Ja, you're right about that." the German-Swiss hacker replied. " Doom is using them to exterminate them."

Agent P saw a holographic projecting computer which he started hacking and downloading data and gave his device to his companion. Morgenthau helped him as he began to infect every system which it connected to the androids and the other objects.

" Wir haben es geschafft! " the elder man exclaimed.

" Wir sollten schnell gehen, bevor er uns findet." P replied in German as he warned about Doom would find them.

" Sie sprechen meine Sprache, Pyromaniac." Suddenly, there was an intensely loud siren heard all over the place. Doom's other working androids arrived as they were about to attack. P handed his Icer gun to Morgenthau. P bursted into flames as he transformed into his berserker Pyromaniac. He began to scorch every machine as he could. Morgenthau used an Icer gun and his weapon. Some of them got destroyed but the others were surrounding them.The metal man with a green hood appeared and approached his two infiltrators. He grinned and crossed his arms.

" You-two-think-you-can-stop-me," the strange man said and laughed. " You-tried-two-destroy-my-important-things-including-my-androids!" He turned to Morgenthau as his face crossed. " Karl-I-trusted-you. Why-are-you-making-friends-with-that-Inhuman?! He's-one-of-my-worst-enemies!"

" I'm sick and tired of your nonsense, Doom! Sie sind eine verabscheuungswürdige!" Morgenthau angrily answered as he shot one of those robots. Pyromaniac instantly scorched those machines. He was targeting the green-hooded metal man, but he immediately escaped to his pod as it lifted away. Finally, both of them found an elevator. Entering the four cornered walls, it was coated with silicon. Suddenly, a cold air decreases its temperature. Pyromaniac's Inhuman semblance faded away as he fainted and froze. He became very weak as he returned into his human form as Agent P. On the other hand, Morgenthau developed energy from ice. Being a half-frost giant was very easy for him. He began breaking the walls when the elevator was speeding up. Finally, they found themselves several kilometers above Los Angeles. They were almost reaching to the stratosphere. This time, they were about to fall.

" There, were out! Gottenhimmel! We are hundreds of feet above the ground! P! Pyromaniac! Wake up! " Morgenthau shook the half-Asian man's feet and waking him up.

" Es ist unter 2 Grad Celsius." P weakly answered and shivered. " It's so cold. I can't function."

" Wunderbar! We are going to the ground 32 feet per second or 10 meters per second and you're worried about freezing! Okay, I get it you're an enhanced man. Your powers are ineffective in below freezing point."

" Morgenthau, ich kann hier nicht überleben. Bitte sage Fräulein Y, dass sie diese Mission fortsetzen muss Doom."

" Fräulein Y? Wait, she's a Remnite MIB agent. I knew she's working for you."

" Y-yes, please you have to see her when I finally close my eyes. Take my ICER gun with you to protect yourself. You have to continue this mission with her."

" Nein! " Morgenthau sharply objected. " I won't let you die here! Your dear Fräulein badly needs you! I have seen your interesting relationship with her not just as a boss and a servant. Besides, I wish Unis and I could have the same mutuality as both of you have. She is the only woman I have ever loved."

" That troll? "

" It doesn't matter anymore, we're going to..."

Suddenly, a shockwave instantly caused them slowing down before they fell into the Earth's strong gravitational pull. Daisy and I borrowed Coulson's red Corvette as we were hovering above the skyscrapers. The elevator carefully descending as we saw the two men in it.

" Keep it up Daisy! You're slowing down their fall. " I beamed.

" I've never tried to do this from a flying car before, " she smiled. " Thanks to Coulson, he'd let me borrow Lola as my team went here!"

Looking at us, Morgenthau carefully took my superior boyfriend as he slowly stood up and tried to move. We had set for them to land safely on the backseat.

" Hurry up, mein Freund! Your Fräulein awaits you! Take it easy, we are going to jump!"

Finally, the two men left from the falling elevator as we had let them fell into the car's soft backseat. Morgenthau was amazed as his eyes were startled at us. He looked at my best friend as he remembered her as a former Rising Tide member. Daisy was indignantly stared at him. She never expected a hacker coming with us.

" Wait, why is he here?" she asked. " He's a horrible man. I worked with him before! Now, he's targeting us!"

" He's going to help us," P said and turned to German-Swiss person. " YOU ARE JOINING WITH US, WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!"

" I will," Morgenthau nervously grinned and laughed. " I told you I won't join Doom's exploits anymore!"

" You have to be sure about that, " I added. " You won't even like us when you try to smash us."

" Whatever..." he sighed. " I want to leave my old dirty habits. I deserve change!"

When I saw Agent P's body covered with some ice, I glanced at Daisy as she got curious.

" What are you looking at?" she asked.

" Maybe, we should swap seats. Daisy, take the driver's seat. The other guy should sit at my corner as I go to the backseat with P."

" Y, we're just 100 feet above the ground! We can't do that here! It's not safe!"

" I have to transfer my heat to him. He's freezing!"

" Okay just do it," she relented and smiled. " Perhaps, you'll kiss him again afterwards like you did yesterday. Don't worry, I won't look!"

" How did you know?"

" A little bird named Nora told me about it."

" Agent Valkyrie should be neuralyzed." P sternly muttered and still shivering.We swapped our seats as we had discussed. P was surprised to see me in active state as he never expected.

" Y, I told you to get rest," P said.

" Daisy and I decided to secretly follow you. You would find yourself as an ice sculpture if we never arrived." I replied. " Mind if I transfer heat to make yourself warm?"

" Okay." he nodded. I touched his arms as he held mine. Our pupils were reddened when we were both flaming and radiating. Our semblances triggered when we felt our heartbeats and blood flowing into our system. The warmth went to his body. Morgenthau looked behind as he gulped and startled. He was amazed to see this moment. Finally, we ended embracing each other as I noticed him shirtless and wearing a pair of black fireproof briefs. Blushing and looking at him, he felt embarrased to see me.

" P, what happened to you, back there?" I whispered and grinned.

" I burned my clothes, sunshine when I attacked Doom's androids." he replied and blushed." Please stop staring at me like that! This is too shameful. You can't see me like this!"

" Well, sir. You really look interesting, not embarrasing!" I kissed him on his cheeks when he smiled.

" Thanks..." he answered and kissed me again like we did yesterday.

Morgenthau was paying attention to us as he got intrigued. Daisy felt pleased at us while she was descending the car to the ground. We ended on the streets heading to the SHIELD base.

" Fräulein Johnson, I'm sorry for eavesdropping at them, but I sense a very interesting and loving relationship with these two at the backseat." he said.

" Well, I think they're mutually attached into something," she smiled. " That's why they're made for each other."
