The Epic of Leviathan (A Mutant's Ascension)

Chapter 250 - Neo Natasha...

A/N: I want to give myself a head pat for finally finishing my 250th chapter. Yes!! Praise me more!! ????

----------------------------------------------- ??

[POV Natasha]

My eyes finally opened and I found that I was no longer inside the tomb… I was back in my room. My body was feeling slightly stiff… with a little difficulty, I was able to turn my head around, I wanted to take a good look at my room… how the hell did I even come here?

I tried to remember what happened in the tomb and with that, all of my thoughts came to a screeching halt when a piercing pain invaded my mind. Foreign memories started to surface in my mind… the intense pain was only there for a few seconds and after that, it was completely gone…

It almost felt that the pain was just a hallucination. I decided to check the memories and found them related to my new powers. Did I just call them my powers?? My body was no longer stiff… I rose up from my bed and found myself wearing a bathrobe… I looked inside and found that I wasn't wearing anything underneath…

Only now I noticed how pale my skin was now… it almost felt like that there was no blood running inside my veins. My skin also had a minor bluish tint to it but it wasn't noticeable if someone didn't look carefully… thank God, I didn't turn out like that guy. To make sure I once again peeked inside my own head… yep, that's still me up there.

I got up from the bed and walked in front of the mirror, I carefully looked at my face and was stunned when I saw my eyes… I knew that my eyes were blue… even though they are still blue but there is a big difference now… my eyes were glowing. My hair was also different now… my hair was red but now it has become crimson, it was blood red. For a couple of minutes, I kept staring at my glowing eyes and my crimson hair… I won't lie… I looked rather enticing.

I undid my bathrobe's knot… my curves were definitely much more refined now. I touched my flat stomach, my skin has become much smoother and softer than before. All of my scars were also gone… is my womb also fixed? A sudden thought appeared inside my mind and my hands shot towards my stomach… a felt several knots forming inside my stomach. I need to find Momo, she will be able to tell me…

Before I even knew I found myself in front of my cupboard. My head immediately snapped back towards the mirror and found that there was a significant distance between both places… it must have been my superhuman speed, I concluded. It couldn't be anything else… I just thought about wearing my clothes and the cupboard opened on its own and the clothes I wanted were pulled out…

It definitely didn't happen on its own… it was my telekinetic power. There was nothing else that it could be… so, I am already getting used to my powers. I again referred to them as my powers… at a subconscious level, I must be feeling that these are my powers. I didn't even need to wear my clothes… they were absorbed by my skin and appeared on me… this must have been my matter manipulation power…

Looks like my powers are working nicely… now, where should I go to look for Momo? Just as I had that thought I felt that Momo was already on her way here… it's getting rather tiring with all these powers… yes, I understand that they are helping me but I am not used to them, it's making me feel really odd. I walked up to the door and opened it before Momo could knock… Momo gave me an appreciative look.

"Looks like your powers have started to surface?" Momo asked me.

"Yes, they did… getting used to them will be rather tiring, now that I have all these powers out of the blue" I whined and invited Momo to enter the room. I already wanted to ask her if my womb was fixed or not but no matter how excited I was I should invite her inside.

"Now please stand in front of me… I want to check all the changes. Your eyes and hair are obvious" Momo spoke in her scientist mode… I knew that there was no interrupting her now so I decided to follow Momo's commands obediently…

Momo diligently checked all the changes… it was more than half an hour before she finally cleared me. She said I was in perfect condition and by each passing second, my body and powers were getting stronger. According to her, this was only possible because of the Regenerative Healing Factor. Unable to hold myself, I finally asked her about my womb.

Momo waved her hand over my womb a few times and then gave me a beaming smile… just with her smile I knew that it was good news but I still wanted to hear it from her so I waited with bated breath. "Congratulations! Your womb is completely healed and you can have babies like any other women" as soon as Momo finished speaking I pulled her into a bone-crushing hug… I wanted to be a mother so badly but until now it was impossible for me… I have given up hope but I still held some hope in some corner of my mind…

I didn't even notice that I was already crying… Momo was rubbing my back in a soothing manner. I haven't told anyone about this but this was one of the biggest reasons that I agreed to accept the powers. When we dug up the body I wasn't so sure even when Momo was already making plans… but when we started to do the tests, we found out about the Regenerative Healing Factor… Momo said that it could heal… after that, the decision was quite easy.

On the day when Momo and Reo were editing the memories… I was nervous because of this reason only. I didn't know for sure if it would work or not. Now, that it has worked… it felt like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders. Just looking back at how my life changed after I met Nemuri, Reo, and Momo… I want to devote my whole life to them… I was already interested in Reo but now there will be nothing holding me back…

"It's ok… it's fine…" Momo was still whispering soothing words into my ear. I finally pulled myself away from the hug and wiped off the rest of my tears.

"You have no idea how happy I am today" I said to Momo who just nodded with a smile on her face.

"I kind of understand…" Momo said and made me sit down on my bed.

"So, how long was I out?" I asked Momo.

"It has been five days… the Regenerative Healing Factor has been really helpful or you would still be on the bed" Momo chided with a serious look on her face.

"Stay here… let me get you something light to eat" Momo said and called a house-elf. After a few minutes… the house-elf popped back with a bowl of fruits and vegetable soup. Momo patiently sat by the window while I finished the food… I found out that I was rather hungry when I finally found food in front of me.

After finishing the food Momo asked me if I wanted to go outside. I wanted to visit the beach on the west-side… from Luna and Jean, I have heard that the beach on that side is much nicer. When I told Momo about where I wanted to go she just shrugged with a mischievous look on her face. I clearly noticed that she was rather amused…

Since Momo decided that she won't be taking me I started to concentrate on my portal generation ability and only after a few seconds a violet sphere appeared in front of me… inside the sphere a beach could be seen. I was sure that it was the west-side beach. Both Momo and I entered the sphere and found ourselves standing on the beach… I looked back and found the sphere was still there and inside the sphere, I could still see my room…

I willed the sphere to dissipate and it did… "Looks like you are getting the hang of your powers rather easily" Momo said to which I nodded.

"The memories are obviously helping me… without the memories, I would have to work on them from the scratch. I haven't tested all of them… but the ones that have shown up mostly work on instincts" I said and Momo noted it down on her mobile with a nod of her head.

"So, how are you feeling? I mean… really feeling about the changes in your body" Momo asked me… I gave her an odd look for a few seconds before I started to think about it seriously. It's not a common thing that you wake up and find that you have a bunch of powers.

"Honestly… I don't know how to feel, I have never felt better in my whole life. It feels like I am completely new but I am still the old me… I don't think I am making sense but it's rather difficult to explain in words… I feel like even though I am the old Natasha and at the same time I find myself completely new… the old Natasha was weak, for survival she had to choose masters and she was only alive because she was a weapon… a tool to use but now, this New Natasha is strong… I feel like I can defeat anyone, I don't have a master who will use me as a weapon…" I said while looking at the ocean waves… I didn't need to look at Momo to know that she was intently listening to me.

"Even after Nemuri brought me here and gave me the freedom I didn't feel like this… but now, now I feel like I can take on the whole world. I have my own strength… I finally got the ability to fight for myself… I no longer need to be at the mercy of people like Nick Fury" I said and finally look towards Momo who was looking at me with a smile on her face.

"Neo Natasha" Momo said with a huge grin on her face… I mused after I heard her…

"Neo Natasha" I agreed and stared back at the ocean once again…
