《A Mutant’s Ascension》A Mutant's Ascension

[Aspen, Colorado]
In the darkness of early morning, a man clad in crimson armor appeared on top of a building roof. This was a small city inside the state of Colorado… this place was pretty famous among the crowd of people who loved skiing.
Everything in this city was completely normal but there was something in this city that the people didn't know anything about. Well, the thing wasn't exactly inside the city so the people couldn't be blamed… it would be more correct to say that the place was built on the mountain range outside the city.
The man clad in the crimson armor stood on the roof for a few seconds before the man started to rise in the air and with a small but loud boom the man flew towards the outskirts of the city.
The man landed in front of a rundown abandoned building outside the city. The building was covered with snow but if someone paid attention then they would clearly notice the trails in the snow leading inside the building.
The man clad in the crimson armor waved his hands few times around the building. To the naked eyes, nothing changed but for someone who could notice the difference, it was a completely different story.
The man looked around and a satisfied smile appeared on his face. The man walked inside the building without the slightest care. Only a few seconds passed and a loud scream was heard from inside the building and just after that, the alarm started to blare loudly.
Soon the sound of the alarm was cascaded by sounds of gunfire. While gunshots were still ringing people's screams were still heard. After a few minutes, everything became silent once again and nothing was heard from inside the building.
After a few seconds, the man walked out of the building and the whole building was engulfed in flames… the flames seemed to be alive… the flames were so hot that all the snow nearby had already melted. The man turned back and took another look at the burning building and with a wave of his hand all the flames were gone.
The man nodded his head with a satisfied smile on his face and dropped a disk where he was standing. The man looked around and disappeared from that place without a trace…

[Several Hours Later]
The building was completely surrounded by people with SHIELD emblems on their uniforms. A black car arrived on the scene and stopped. Agent Phil Coulson walked out of the car and looked around.
As soon as his eyes landed on the building he grimaced. He really hated the sight… he closed the car door and approached the person in charge. The Agent noticed Phil Coulson and saluted the man.
"At ease Agent" Agent Coulson ordered, the Agent in front of him visibly eased down.
"So, did you find anything?" Agent Coulson asked the unnamed Agent in a solemn tone.
"Yes, sir. It was Leviathan… he left the CCTV drive right outside the building on the ground" the unnamed Agent blurted out and gulped loudly.
Agent Coulson grimaced once again as soon as he heard Leviathan's name. "Show me" Agent Coulson said and the unnamed Agent handed Coulson a tablet. Coulson silently watched the whole video and saw Leviathan's brutality and wanted to puke…
Until now Leviathan had never shown his killing methods nor were they able to find any bodies. Coulson immediately understood what Leviathan was doing here… he was leaving a message for SHIELD. It was a complete massacre or slaughter… whatever you wanted to call it.
When Leviathan finally finished killing the last man, Leviathan turned towards the nearest camera and said 'Tell your boss that I will be paying him a visit' and with that, the feed ended. Coulson didn't know how to react to this…
'So Leviathan finally decided to attack us directly' Coulson mused. 'I need to inform Director Fury as quickly as possible' Coulson thought and hurriedly pulled out his phone and called Director Fury but Director Fury didn't pick up the phone.
Coulson wanted to scream in frustration but he knew that doing that won't do him any good. "Put anything that could be used inside the evidence bag and spread a story" Coulson ordered the unnamed Agent who frantically nodded his head.
Coulson handed back the tablet to the unnamed Agent and walked back to his car…
[POV Reo]
From Dora, I already knew when I could find Fury in his office. She didn't know when he arrived but she was quite sure that I would find him after 10 am. So, I decided to make myself comfortable in Fury's office…

I planted several listening charms inside the room but someone paranoid like Fury might change his office because I broke in. Yes, that will be really funny… after waiting for about an hour the door finally clicked open and Fury walked in dressed in his usual garb. Everything black…
I have to commend Fury's senses as he didn't even see me completely and pulled out his gun and pointed in my direction. "You are fast" I decided to give him a compliment…
Fury's face visibly paled as soon as he saw me and pulled the trigger but nothing happened. "Motherfucker!" Fury yelled and looked at his gun.
"Isn't it funny that when you need it the most… your gun decides to betray you?" I asked in a mocking tone. It was obviously me who stopped his gun from being fired… but he doesn't need to know that.
"Why are you here Leviathan or should I call you Itsuki Reo?" Fury questioned, he wanted to get the upper hand, obviously a fool.
"You can call me Reo or Leviathan… I don't mind either" I shrugged dismissively.
"I thought someone like you would hate that I know your name" Fury spoke but kept his gun pointed towards me even though it didn't fire.
"I never hid my name… I know how you found my name. If I cared about it then I would have killed Charles and Newman before they could have opened their mouths" I said in a dismissive tone.
"So, Reo, is there a reason you are paying me a visit?" Fury asked and shifted slightly towards his left towards his desk. He thought that I didn't notice him but I did.
"Just wanted to meet the person I am going to kill in the future… you know I really love when a person breaks down because of fearing me" I said in a cheerful tone. Fury's eyebrows shot up.
"Why not kill me now? That will be much easier for you? Won't it?" Fury questioned and kept moving to his left. I allowed him to do that… whatever he wanted to do.
"Yes, but it won't be fun… someone like you doesn't deserve to die easily… before killing you I will destroy everything you have built… everything you have worked hard for. When you see everything crumbling down in front of you and you lose all hope… only after that will I kill you" I said like it was a matter of fact.
Fury gave me a weird look. "You know, you are one messed up, individual" Fury said and finally arrived beside his table.
"Coming from you that must be a compliment… Fury, I think you aren't trying hard enough. I want you to try hard enough…" I was saying but stopped when Fury jumped over his table and pressed the alarm button and the alarms started to blare.
He pulled out another gun from under his table and shot at me but this gun also failed to fire. "Motherfucker!!" Fury screamed and threw the gun in rage.
"Oh… don't mind me… there are some more guns hidden in this room want to give all of them a try?? You might get lucky and one of them might work" I mocked him. Fury gritted his teeth but didn't say anything.
Some bangs were heard from the door. I was using my powers to keep it closed and reinforcing it at the same time. Fury looked at me and sat down in his chair. "If you want to kill me then you should do it now" Fury said and leaned on his table.
"Looks like you are misunderstanding something here… you seem to think that I can't kill you whenever I want. All these men and women working for SHIELD are meaningless if I decide to kill you" I said and walked to his table…
"I can kill you anytime I want… it's not a matter of how… it's a matter of when. You are living on borrowed time Fury" I said and backed away with a smile on my face.
"Tick-Tock Fury, Tick-Tock, your countdown has started" I finished with a smirk on my face, and I Flash Stepped to Elysium.
Hmm… I don't know if Fury got the message or not but I would say that our first meeting was successful. This will make Fury take even more drastic actions against me… after all, he is a paranoid bastard. This will make it even more fun when I break his hope and mind slowly…

Namely, surviving the Tower and its homicidal salamanders and zombies and weirdly affectionate cats, and learning the truth behind the existence of the amulet titled "The Writer's Secret".

He's a bit weak, he hates killing, and spends more time screaming than he does actually fighting, but if there's one thing he's got going for him, it's his impressive self-perseveration skills. But is surviving truly enough, if it changes you into someone you don't recognize? How much will he have to sacrifice before he can even call himself Cillian?
