Frozen Ablaze

Book One: Ch. 3

Chapter 3: Cold
Mal's P.O.V.

A year seemed to pass by like the blink of a eye. Eventually, I finally became an agent after mastering my abilities and meeting all the required skills; as the rest of the agents. Despite, the mystery of the source of my powers; and other dimensions in the multiverse in general. I was content with who I was and what I could do.

Darlene left the facility to operate on the helicarriers so, we don't really see each other often much.

Meanwhile Loki, our new recruit tried his best to blend in. To ensure the safety of him living and working amongst humans; he was instructed to take behavioural and emotional counselling to better understand and mimic human morals. Every now and then, we would say 'hello' through the halls of the facility.

Agent Coulson, some of our well trusted enhanced, as well as I gathered in the assembly room. At the front of the room, Coulson displays blue substances arranged in a briefcase.

"These are Terrigen Crystals, found sunken at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean." "One of our associates -you may know her as Carol Danvers." "Explained to us that this substance was used by the Kree; to experiment on pre-historic humans." "Resulting for them to turn into Inhumans." "These Inhumans were capable of possessing extraordinary gifts and abilities; once they were exposed to an aerial form of the Terrigen substance." "However, due to a bizarre prophecy the Kree abandoned the experiments and the Inhumans fled to somewhere unknown."

"The Terrigen Crystals that I have here, discovered from the bottom of the Pacific as I explained; contaminated the waters and some of the fish." "Those fish were then harvested, sold and some were used to create fish oil supplements." "The company which produces the supplements and consumption of fish in general; had since stopped after the terrigen crystals' discovery." "-and the consumers of the contaminated fish well, they became inhumans." Coulson clarifies.

"We have spotted a few of the subjects; at least the ones which have begun to cause mayhem." "Each one of them possess a distinctive set of abilities which; is why I've decided to split you into according teams."

"Our first subject Jeff Sanders; served twenty five years in prison for auto theft, association with narcotic rings and homicide." "He gained the ability to bend metal to his will, once exposed to the terrigen contaminants."

"Our second subject Albert Bremen; he has had a history of multiple counts of shoplifting." "He gained the ability to shape shift."

"-and last but not least Dr. Karen Blume." "A resourceful citizen in society -once exposed to the contaminants she had turned into a ruthless malign, almost unrecognizable -before exposed to the terrigen substance." She has the ability to create and emit frost."

Coulson had assigned the third subject to me which; I thought was the wisest decision. But, when I read the files on Dr. Blume; it was unclear to me how an Ivy League university graduate. One at the top of her class, a doctor who seemed so passionate about saving lives. Could turn so cold -literally.

The documents also state that, she had filed complaints of workplace assault. Which, were never addressed. I viewed a recording of the surveillance footage on the tablet; when she disarmed and attacked a swarm of security guards by her previous place of work. This was the proof of her attempt to get back at her perpetrator.

Once I had found a lead with the FBI on where she was located; we took action to confront and take her into custody.
