The Epic of Leviathan (A Mutant's Ascension)

[POV Jean]

Even though I didn't hold much hope about the talk, it did certainly help me. Yeah, her reason was completely different but her words made a point. No matter what my reason is, I should be determined to follow it through. Now that I finished my chat with Rumi, I needed to find Fleur for the training. ​​

Finding Fleur wasn't too hard for me… after I found out the differences between a human and a Phoenix it was an easy task. I have also noticed that none of Reo's lovers were humans. Except for Fleur, Nemuri, and Rumi, I didn't know what the others were… Fleur is a Phoenix, Nemuri is a Nine-Tailed Fox and Rumi is some kind of rabbit… oh yeah, Momo might be some kind of elf though I am not sure.

I found Fleur on the roof… she was reading some book. As soon as I arrived on the roof she had noticed me.

"I have finished my chat… where is Reo by the way?" I asked curiously. After all, we had an important mission today.

"I don't know, do you need him for something?" Fleur replied casually gesturing me to sit beside her.

"Yes, we had some work to do" I answered her. Fleur nodded and pulled out the same device she did yesterday and clicked a few times. The thing chimed once again and Fleur read something and slightly frowned.

"He had to leave for something urgent, he said his current mission is much more important than dealing with Charles is… he said that Charles isn't much of a threat for now. Well, it looks like he wants you to do something while he is away" Fleur spoke to me with a smile on her face.

I frowned, he thinks his current mission is more important than dealing with Charles? What kind of mission is he on? Well, he is dealing with the whole world now so he must have been busy. It's not that I am angry or something but I was excited because I would have gotten some time to spend with him.

"So, what does he want me to do?" I asked Fleur, looks like nothing can be done, so I should get over with whatever he wants me to do.

"He wants you to find out if Scott is the only spy in here or if there are more" Fleur said getting up from the floor and she closed her book and put that device in her pocket.

"Oh, yes. I can do that happily" I happily accepted my mission or task. Fleur decided to accompany me… I didn't mind her. Fleur placed her hand on my shoulder and both of us found ourselves in the resident area. I have to say whatever this teleportation method is this is awesome.

Fleur said that Phoenixes have their own form of teleportation. Fleur is still not strong enough to use that method of teleportation. I have talked with the Phoenix Force inside me and she also told me that I would be able to use that method but currently, my body is not ready.

"We don't need to go inside… we can do it from here" I said and Fleur nodded in understanding. I closed my eyes and activated my telepathic power in full blast… getting my full power unlocked has done me a lot of good. I am nothing compared to Charles even now but Charles only has telepathic powers nothing else… he doesn't have telekinetic powers.

I spread out my telepathic field and covered the whole residential area… but I found myself still lacking. I could feel the whole place but I can't sense everything in there, my telepathic wasn't strong enough. So, I decided to concentrate where Scott was. Finding him among all these meta-humans wasn't something hard, after all, I have spent a lot of time with him in the Xavier Mansion.

Just like I had thought… he was still connected to Charles so I will be unable to get into his mind without notifying Charles and that's something I don't want to do. I knew that if anyone else was in cahoots with Scott they will be near him and I was right again… surprise, surprise… Charles sent his most trusted friend here. Hank McCoy. Using the same feeling I started to sweep the whole place… fortunately, there weren't any more spies… so there were only two spies… Scott and Hank.

When I finally opened my eyes, I found Fleur was sitting on the ground on a blanket with the book in her hand. "How long it has been?" I asked Fleur, my throat kind of seemed dry… so, some time has passed since I had started.

"Oh, you are finally done? It has been something like a couple of hours…" Fleur got up from the ground and vanished the dirt on her dress and the blanket she had spread on the ground.

"Yes, Scott Summers and Hank McCoy, I didn't expect Hank to be here though" I told Fleur who started to click on her device. Now, I was really curious about the device…

"Hank, a friend of yours?" Fleur asked me curiously.

"As if!! He is also one of Charles's pets" I said with venom in my voice.

"Oh… ok. Let's go back for now" Fleur said and started walking away from the place.

"What's that device?" I wasn't able to hold myself back and asked Fleur. "Yesterday, I saw you talk to Momo through it… is it some kind of phone but I have never seen one like that" I continued speaking without giving Fleur a chance to speak.

"Ah, yes. This is a phone but it is way more advanced than anything out there in the world. Momo made this for each one of us" Fleur spoke showing me the phone…

[POV Reo]

We were in the lift on our way to meet this Catalina, when my phone chimed up. I pulled out my phone and saw that Fleur had sent me a text asking me about Jean. Oh… I kind of forgot about that when Sublime and U-Men came up… Charles isn't a threat when compared to Sublime. Charles is just a pathetic fool… and he will definitely die like a pathetic fool but Sublime is an annoying bastard.

It's not about power or strength… if compared he is way weaker than me but the thing is he could enter any human around the world and become its host. The spell Momo gave me is going to be a life-saver but I would still need to identify the bacteria in the whole human body. That is going to a chore in itself… I cursed once again inside my mind. Why the Fuck Sublime has to show up here.

"What's got you so worried?" Nemuri asked me patting my head. Ah… I would never say this but her patting my head feels really nice.

"Stop it" even though I wanted her to continue… I had some dignity. I will ask her to do that later in my bedroom. "I am worried about several things" I said dismissively and we finally arrived on the floor where Catalina's office was.

Emma and Nemuri walked side by side while I calmly followed them. Before either of them could knock on Catalina's door the door opened and a girl in maid dress welcomed us in. Emma was slightly peeved by that but Nemuri completely brushed it off and decided to roll with it… It's really amusing to watch Nemuri.

We finally walked into a room where a woman was sitting in a regal crimson dress while looking over the city of Buenos Aires. The woman saw both Nemuri and Emma, for a moment she checked me out too but her eyes were back on Nemuri. The woman got up from her seat and walked up to Nemuri to greet her.

"Lady Welsh, what a pleasant surprise!! What brings you here?" the woman happily greeted Nemuri who just smirked. Nemuri must have used a different identity to buy this hotel…

"It's nice to meet you too, Catalina. How is the business going?" Nemuri asked Catalina with a smile and sat down.

"Business is fabulous after you took over the hotel and your ideas… your ideas changed my whole business… gave me a new front to work with. The number of client demand has increased by a huge margin" Catalina said and gestured us towards the seats.

"Ah… like I have said Catalina, in these kinds of things I could never be wrong" Nemuri said in a haughty manner and nodded at herself. Narcissist much.

"That's true. So what can I do for you? Perhaps I can arrange some service for you?" Catalina offered Nemuri who immediately denied it.

"Unfortunately, Catalina. We are here for your other services…" Nemuri drawled off. I have never seen Nemuri doing a business deal and the way she interacted with Catalina… I have released a monster in the multiverse. Yeah, that's it… I am pretty sure that no matter where we would go… she will bring ruin and chaos to the global market.

"Of course, for the right amount of mon…" Catalina didn't even get to finish before Nemuri pulled out a diamond from her pocket and placed it on the table. Catalina grabbed the diamond and smiled happily. Yes, I have made a monster!! But she is my monster with nine fluffy tails and two fluffy ears.

"What kind of information do you need? Your payment was enough for several transcanctions" Catalina said with a smile. Nemuri just smirked and gestured towards Emma.

"Ah, I remember you. You were the leader of that meta-human group. But I would have never expected that Leviathan himself will come here" Catalina started to speak looking towards Emma and when she finished her eyes were on me.

Emma didn't waste any more time and started to ask her about organ trafficking and meta-human trafficking rings and where they were going. She didn't ask Catalina about either U-Men or John Sublime and I appreciate her for that. She is an information broker… if someone pays her the right amount of money then she will happily blab about us in front of them.

Cataline immediately called some assistants and asked them to look into the files. She didn't trust computers because she believed in the old ways… it took two hours to get the whole information and everything pointed towards Tehran, Iran.

"Thanks for the info Catalina, I will be in contact" Nemuri said and got up and walked. Emma and me both followed suit and got and walked out of the room. Before we could even leave the room I received the text from Fleur telling me there were two spies on Elysium. Scott Summers and Hank McCoy… ah, I will have fun dealing with them…
