We were flying through the sky and everyone except Steve were giving me strange looks, mostly due to the fact that I had shown another ability.
(The forcefield he used in the car was invisible, so they didn't know he used it, but they saw the telekinesis and realized the forcefield was there in the last chapter)
Steve was simply thinking deeply about Bucky and then sighed deeply before looking at me.
"We will be talking about these new powers you showed." He said pointedly.
"I know, as I had said before, there was more to tell you, but I wasn't ready to tell you everything, but considering the stakes, it's best if you know." I explained to which he nodded.
'The main reason I'm even going to tell them anything is it's getting annoying having to act all the time, and I want them to give me more freedom to fight in the final battle as between Magneto and Jean's ability, I can probably stop the Helicarriers myself.
Well, they are giant metal ships, so I might have to start with one at first.
One more upside to the power up I had from absorbing Juggernaut's powers is that my Adaptive Physiology has strengthened my body to undiscovered levels. I need this battle to determine where my new strength lies.
We finally landed at the base and we're met with Agent Hill and who seemed to be a S.H.I.E.L.D. doctor.
"GSW she's lost blood, at least a pint!" Hill said as she directed the doctor to Nat.
"Maybe two." Sam added.
Although the doctor is someone who I knew to be played by one the directors of the movie, the Russo Brothers, I'm not sure which one though.
"Let me take her!" The doctor said urgently gesturing to Nat who had a gunshot wound in her shoulder.
"She'll want to see him first." Hill said confusing all but me. And I saw her give me a pointed look as well. I will definitely have some explaining to do
Our group walked down a hall and Agent Hill pushed aside a plastic screen and we saw Fury alive and well.
"About damn time." He said while also giving me a similar look that Hill gave me earlier.
______________________________________
(10 minutes later)
Nat is being bandaged up by the medic while Fury is explaining how many injuries he sustained with an additional injury that he was reminded of by the medic.
"They cut you open, your heart stopped." Nat said.
"Tetrodotoxin B. Slows the pulse to one beat a minute. Banner developed it for stress. Didn't work that well for him, but we found a use for it." Fury explained
He paused after it as Steve asked.
"Why all the secrecy? Why not just tell us?"
"Any attempt on the director's life had to look successful." Hill explained.
"Can't you if you're already dead. Besides, i wasnt sure who to trust." Fury added.
I didn't agree with the second oart kf what he said because he clearly knew who to trust based on the fact that Agent Hill knew everything but I decided not to bring that up and turned towards Steve.
"It was the best way for Fury to stay off HYDRAs radar." I added.
Steve turned to look at me.
"You knew he was alive?" He asked.
"Yes and no. As I was his extraction after he was attacked, I had a rough idea of the extent of his injuries. And, it wasn't that hard to figure it out. As for why he didn't tell you guys, well that is pretty obvious. Just like the famous saying "if you want to fool your enemies, you must first fool your friends"
that makes it simple enough to keep HYDRA in the dark while still keeping us strong." I explained to which I recived a nearly imperceptible nod from Fury.
Fury then turned to me, his patented glare focusing on me.
"So Agent Grey, you got anything to tell us?" Fury asked blatantly.
"Yes. I already planned to tell you all about me as I had to show some more of my powers than I would've liked. So i'll tell you about my true identity and the true nature of my powers."
All eyes were on me as even though Nat and Steve knew the truth about who I was, they didn't actually know the full extent of my powers.
"Well I guess I should start here." I said as I transformed into Seth McCauley.
"My real identity is Seth McCauley, owner of McCauley Tech. And not only that..."
I then transformed into my identity as Nexus but I looked like Galen Marek.
"I am also Galen Marek, otherwise known as Nexus." I continued.
At this reveal, everyone but Nat and Steve had a reaction. The reaction from Hill and Fury were more pronounced as they knew that Nexus had many different powers and they also knew that the persona of Agent Grey also had many different powers.
The implications of my true power were very worrying for them as depending on what I tell them about my power, will determine how they will react.
I plan to keep my Osmosian powers and my Spider powers hidden.
Once j te them that I pretty much have all the X-Men's powers, they will definitely put more importance on finding a contingency plan against me.
I also found out through my time in this universe that while humanity knows Mutants exist, they don't know about the X-men, nor if Mutants are real as most assume them to be a myth.
S.H.I.E.L.D. knows about Mutans and have as menay of them cataloged and they know about the X-men.
Although Xavier had made it clear to S.H.I.E.L.D. that the X-men would only intervene when it was concerning other mutants or the destruction of earth as they wished to maintain their anonymity
I then took a deep breath as I prepared for the reactions I would be getting from the group.
"Now when it comes to my powers, you all know a little but, but not nearly anything even close to the True scope of my powers." I started paying close attention to the reactions of Fury and Hill.
"My power is what's called Empathic Mimicry. It is pretty much self explanatory what I can do, but I'll explain it nonetheless." I said and I could see Hill and Fury's eyes widened at the name of my power as they were already forming ideas about it.
"I can mimic the powers of almost any enhanced individual I come across and I am able to use even 2 or three powers at a time. I currently have the powers of the majority of the X-men, some of the members of The Brotherhood, and can even mimic acquired abilities like a certain super soldier we know." I explained giving a pointed look at Steve.
At my words, sure enough Hill and Fury had an intense reaction. Fury was even trembling a little and I believe it was due to the fact that he assumed I could mimic Caotain Marvel's powers, which of course, I can't as she got her powers from an Infinity stone, and I can't mimic the properties of an infinity stone, but he doesn't know that.
I might be able to take her power with Rogue or my Osmosian powers, but I still don't know kw and I wouldn't as Earth will need her power in the future.
Keeping a measured tone of voice, Fury looked right at my eyes.
"If you have all this power, why are you even telling us about it?" He asked
"Well suffice it to say, by this point in time, no force on earth can even hope to defeat me, even nuclear weapons would prove absolutely useless against me. The only forces I have to worry about are beings who's power I can't even fathom and possibly their underlings." I explained refering to The Celestials and The Eternals.
I don't know if they can even do anything to me as I can absorb their powers with Rogue and my Osmosian powers which will allow me to manipulate Cosmic Energy.
I have simply left The Eternals alone, but I plan to interfere when the Emergence is going to happen and make sure I absorb all their powers especially Ajack before she has her powers stolen. I may even be able to absorb the power of the slumbering Celestial itself.
That is still up in the air though. Theoretically, I should be able to absorb it's powers as I have the full powers of an Osmosian which could even absorb the power of a Celestial Sapien which was even supposedly more powerful than a Celestial in this universe.
After my words, Fury was actually shaking and I couldn't tell if it was from fear or determination.
"Is all this true?" He asked with a lot of trepidation.
"Based on the powers I have now, yes. I don't see any situation where I'd have to be worried. I also won't be remaining on earth as I will soon venture out into the galaxy to explore as there isn't much left for me here.
It won't be too soon in the future and I will come back to help deal with anything that threatens the earth as long as you need me. You won't have to worry about needing to contact me as I it is very unlikely that I won't be here if something major happens." I explained alluding to the events of the Guardians of the Galaxy and Age of Ultron.
"How can we be sure you're on the side of Earth, what if sometime in the future you are mind controlled and you attack us? if what you say is true, we won't have any way to fight back." Fury asked.
"Fury. I will say this, if there is anything that is able to control my mind, the earth would already be doomed as that is something that not even I can beat." I explained as I had Xavier's power not to mention Jean Grey's.
Fury seemed to slowly get himself back under comtrol on the outside, but I could see that he was making plans in his mind.
I actually read his mind a little and he was actually making plans not to fight against me, but get me to work for S.H.I.E.L.D. fully and help them with whatever they'd need.
That surprised me, but I guess he has put my power up there with Carol which is why he doesn't entertain taking any action against me as he knows how powerful she was, and as he assumed I could mimic her abilities, he knew it'd be better for the earth to have me as an ally.
