HIATUS

CHAPTER 64: A Spider Came



"You have only 24 hours to talk to them, any more than that then it will ruin the reason why we're doing this in the first place", I said to Kaecilius.

"Of course, I understand. Thank you very much", Kaecilius said with tears forming in his eyes.

The Kaecilius in front of me was not the typical Kaecilius that people in Kamar Taj interact with. No, the Kaecilius in front of me is the vulnerable Kaecilius, the man which Kaecilius has buried deep inside of him. For the way that he has portrait himself throughout the years, proud, egotistical, cold; it crumbled when he saw his family, the family he lost all those years ago.

In front of Kaecilius was the son and wife he lost. The moment he saw them, he went towards them and embrace the two. He did not care if the two of them were cold, aside effect of being reanimated, they are still corpses, no blood would flow from their veins after all. No, Kaecilius only cared about the faces he was seeing, and to him, it was enough.

One thing that was always a thought in my mind was that the Ancient One never really reprimanded me about reanimating people, aside from our first encounter of course. Don't get me wrong, I know she can tell that I was doing this, but after reanimating Maria, the Ancient One didn't talk to me about it. I believe she turned a blind eye to this, who knows really. Maybe she just allowed me to do these things, I'm not sure, only the Ancient One can answer that, but I rathered be oblivious to that topic.

Anyway, after reanimating Maria, I went to Kaecilius and told him that I have a way to allow him to talk to his deceased family members. He didn't show his emotions in his face then, but his eyes did, there was a longing in them when he heard it. I asked where they were buried and he opened a portal to their graves. The first thing that I saw in those graves were the flowers that were placed in each grave, they were fresh. I told him that I needed him to not see what I was going to do. I did this for one reason, I didn't want him to see that I was going to get tissue samples from his dead family members. He loves them so much, I don't know what he would do if he sees me taking something from their bodies. He nodded and I made him fall asleep.

I took the tissue samples and woke him up soon after, I made sure that the graves look the same after I was done collecting. I told him that I needed to prepare things and that I will see him in a few days. There was sadness in his eyes, he probably thought then that he will immediately see his family, but he nodded and returned us to Kamar Taj.

After returning to Kamar Taj, I directly went to the Lighthouse and contacted Sitwell. I told him that I needed people, people who are not the best members of society.  After 2 days he sent me coordinates where to pick them up. I proceeded to reanimate Kaecilius's son and wife.

This is where we are now, in Kaecilius's room inside of Kamar Taj. He, lovingly talking with his family and explaining what was going on.

I went towards his door and before I went out I said to him, "Make sure that you tell your goodbyes before the next 24 hours is up. They will automatically disappear by then. I'll place some silencing barriers outside your room so that you have some privacy".

He thanked me again and he told me that he understood. I nodded and left his room. In the training ground of Kamar Taj, the Ancient One spotted me, I went towards her.

"I see you did it", the Ancient One said as he looks at the new recruits of the temple.

"Yeah, I just hope that this changes the outcome of his future. I am gambling here you know", I said to her.

"Only time will tell now", the Ancient One said.

"Yeah only time will tell", I responded.

LATER THAT NIGHT:

I was inside of my mansion studying a new possible drug that my company could make. Origin, the subsidiary company of my company; The Umbrella Corporation, had begun its operations but it takes time to make people try out the services that the company offers.

The Kree bodies that my clones had been studying had made significant progress in cellular regeneration, I hope that within the year or two we can begin given this treatment.

Suddenly I was interrupted from my lab work when I sense someone triggered my barrier seal, someone has entered my mansion without my permission. The seal has never been trigger since the day I placed it.

"Who could that be, I wonder?", I said to myself. I exited my laboratory and went to my kitchen to get some water to drink. I didn't care who infiltrated me, sooner or later that individual would show himself or herself to me. I mean seriously why would you come to someone's house late in the evening. I know, assassination comes into mind.

As I was drinking my cup of water, I sense someone in my living room. That person was coming closer to where I am. I didn't care about it and let them get near me. I acted like they weren't there. Slowly that person came into the kitchen and pointed a gun in the back of my head.

"So, who wanted me dead?", I asked the assassin.

"..."

"The silent type, I see", I said to my assassin. I nonchalantly move away from the gun that was pointed in my head and look at the face of my assassin. The assassin was shocked, not because I moved away from the gun's shooting range, no, the assassin was shocked because she could not move. The assassin remained in place, incapable of moving even by a small inch.

I on the other was shocked as well. The assassin that was sent to kill me was no ordinary assassin, no, the assassin that was sent to kill me is the future Black  Widow.

"Russia?", I accidentally commented.

The look in Romanoff's eyes when I said the name of her country increase the emotion that she was currently feeling. Right now she is afraid, both of failing her mission as well not knowing why she was incapable of movement.

I have a vague memory of Natasha's life before she joined S.H.I.E.L.D. She was trained by the KGB of the Soviet Union, in espionage and assassination. Truthfully I wanted to find her when she was younger, but due to the fall of The Soviet Union, her whereabouts became unknown. I tried using S.H.I.E.L.D.'s database and resources to try and locate her but it seems the entire Red Room program just disappeared. I found it a lost cause after 2 years of looking for her, so I ended the search. I would have never thought that the girl, now a young woman, who I wanted to find years ago would try to assassinate me now.

"Now, why would you try and assassinate a businessman. True I have some business ventures in Russia but I'm pretty sure I never made enemies in that part of the world...hmmm....This is very interesting, very interesting indeed", I said to her.
