[POV She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named]

(A/N: Hillsy is not a typo, I did that willingly after all Dora liked to call Amelia Bones her boss back in the HP World Bonesy)

I rapped my fingers against the door. Only after a few seconds, Hillsy called me in. "Enter" I heard Hillsy's voice and entered the room and saluted Hillsy.

"Agent Tonks reporting for duty ma'am" I said when I lowered my arm after saluting. Hillsy nodded her head and gestured me to take a seat.

I pulled back the chair and sat down and released a silent sigh. Hah...!! Now, I don't need to be worried about tripping.

"Agent Tonks, we have a new assignment for you" Hillsy said and pushed a file towards my direction. "I just hope that this doesn't end up like your last mission... that was a political clusterfuck" Hillsy said and leaned back in her chair.

I grimaced as soon as she mentioned my last mission. That was a mission I am not proud of... it was my mistake that I thought that everything was fine and forgot the primary rule of spying, never trust anyone when you are at work!!

"I am sorry..." I began to say but Hillsy raised up her hand and stopped me.

"It wasn't your fault... who could have thought that Ross would go behind the President's and SHIELD's back to conduct experiments" Hillsy said and I somewhat eased.

She had said multiple times that this wasn't my fault but I personally think that I messed it up. I should have found out about Banner sooner. Thank God, I didn't end becoming a zombie... I should pay more attention to my mission.

What would Mum say if she found out that I relaxed in my job and ended up as a zombie... she won't be happy at all! Hah...! I sighed internally to calm myself down. Getting your panties in a twist won't help you, Dora... Dora, you need to put on your game face.

I picked up the file and took a look. Hmm... Ten Rings, this looks interesting. A solo reconnaissance mission in India? I read the whole file and found that Ten Rings is a dangerous terrorist organization and sending me there alone…

Sure, this mission would be a piece of cake for me but that doesn't mean that they can send on on this mission alone. I finally finished reading the file and looked towards Hillsy.

"Ma'am, may I ask why I am being assigned on such a dangerous mission on my own?" I asked Hillsy, her eyes narrowed at me, and looked at me carefully but I didn't back down.

"As you may have already read in the file that this mission is very dangerous and this mission is strictly reconnaissance and no one in this damn office is better than you when it comes to disguises" Hillsy said and sighed.

"This is a very important mission… we have been after the Ten Rings for a long time and they have been planning something but thanks to the economic collapse of 2002 they had to back out and they went into hiding" Hillsy said and got up from her chair and walked towards the window… well, it wasn't a window actually, it was a screen which worked like a window.

"The thing is that they are hiding and they want us to think that they are gone for good… so, we can't allow them to know that we are already on to them. That is why we are giving you this mission… treat this as a holiday if you want" Hillsy turned towards me and smiled.

"Ma'am, what kind of support would I have if everything goes sideways?" I asked her and she handed me an envelope.

I looked at her and raised an eyebrow, she just shrugged. I tore the envelope and found a paper on which a phone number, and address, and a code were written. "Memorize the phone number, the address, and the code, if you are compromised then you go to the address or call the number and give them the code… they will pull you out".

"I understand ma'am" I said and Hillsy finally dismissed me after that. Well, I have never been to India and I have always wanted to try pani-puri since Nemuri told me about them… though I would have loved it if Reo was with me… hmm, let's see I can always invite him…

[POV Reo]

"Let's go and find Romulus" Eric said and I looked at him weirdly. I have already sensed a metal skeleton inside this facility.

But I guess Eric can't be blamed since he has no idea that Romulus has also coated his bones with Adamantium like Logan.

"I already have his location from that guard's mind but first let me destroy all her research" I said and Eric and Emma decided to help me… we didn't need to do much. Eric used his powers and smashed everything and I Hakai'ed her research papers.

"We made a lot of noise… are you sure that anyone didn't hear us?" Emma asked looking slightly worried.

"No, there is no way anything was heard from outside" I said completely confident and Emma nodded her head. When we were finally done, I reapplied the notice-me-not and the disillusionment charms on us and we left Moira's lab which was completely destroyed now and I started to walk towards where the Adamantium skeleton was.

Now, I was pretty sure that Romulus would still notice us even after we were disillusioned. I still remember that Logan noticed from inside the tank when I killed Sublime and I think if Logan can notice me then Romulus will definitely notice us. So, I decided to change plans…

"Both of you go and start causing ruckus… I will go and kill Romulus" I stopped and spoke to Eric and Emma. I dropped the charms on ourselves so we could talk nicely.

"Eric, you go and cause the ruckus while I will go and look for the Inhumans they have been experimenting on" Emma said hurriedly, Eric was about to say something but Emma stopped him once again.

"Eric, you know how I feel about this. They might not be Meta-Humans but they need our help and they also face the same kind of problems we do… they would be a nice ally" Emma said while glaring at Eric, he didn't want to but still nodded his head reluctantly.

I patiently stood at the side and watched their banter with amusement. "*ahem*" I cleared my throat and both of them looked towards me. "Get a room you two… the sexual tension between you is getting out of control" I chastised the two of them.

The two of them were completely mortified when they heard me but before they could say anything I walked away while laughing inside my mind. When I was about to turn the corner they shouted "It's nothing like that!!" both of them spat at the same time.

I turned around and looked at them… "Sure, you aren't. I will also ignore the fact that you two were in complete sync…" I finished with a smirked at the two of them "…and I am pretty sure that the guards heard that so you two better get on with your jobs" I finished and walked away.

Since I was no longer under the disillusionment or the notice-me-not the guards quickly noticed me and started to shoot. They must be coming in this direction because they heard Emma's and Eric's voices, I mused in my mind and killed any guards who shot at me.

Since I wasn't hiding my face, the guards easily recognized me and some of them dropped their guns and raised their hands… I didn't kill the guards who dropped their guns and stunned them… yeah, I decided to leave their survival on fate, after all, if somebody doesn't awake you then you will stay like that until you die if you are stunned.

For magical people, it was different because their magical core woke them up but since these guys didn't have a magical core they won't be waking up on their own. They could still be awoken by someone non-magical by splashing water on them or something similar.

But the ones who shot at me met a horrifying end… the adamantium skeleton finally started to move and from his movements, I could say that he is going towards the underground cave so that he could escape. He must have seen that it was me and he knew that he didn't have a chance and decided to run.

I allowed him to run, after all, there was nowhere to run. He was trapped on the island along with me… um… that sounded really bad and not-so-straight. Ugh…!! I should be careful about what I think next time. I slaughtered or stunned all the guards who came to stop me. I finally entered the lift and found that someone cut the lift's power.

Sure… I deadpanned inside my mind and used my powers to lower the lift. The adamantium skeleton was already in the cave for a couple of minutes. He was checking each vessel… but he must have found them not working. I finally arrived on the lowest floor and without a ding, the door opened because it didn't have any power.

I walked out of the lift and walked towards where Romulus was. Romulus must have noticed me because his speed increased. I was bored with the game of cat and mouse so I used my powers and Romulus pulled him from wherever he was. Romulus dropped in front of me with a loud thud.

"Stay" I said like I was commanding a dog. Romulus looked up and growled at me and continued trying to get up but unfortunately for him, his own bones weren't following his commands.

"Let me go!! I have no enmity with you Leviathan!!" Romulus screamed and growled.

"Oh… is that so?? Then you should have thought about it before using Logan to cause an attack on Elysium" I said coldly and stared at him with complete disgust.

"I don't know what you are talking about!!" Romulus ground out while gritting his teeth.

"Sure you don't" I said blandly and his right hand started to swell. Romulus howled in pain… yeah, he is surely a wolf or whatever… the skin on his hand ripped open, and his muscle tissues started to get torn.

I was doing the same thing that Magneto did to Logan in the comics. I was ripping the adamantium coating on his bones but what I was doing was torture, plain and simple, because I was doing it slowly. Romulus kept howling in pain but he was still unable to move…

I finally finished ripping adamantium from his right forearm but to stop him from moving, I morphed the adamantium into a spike and nailed his hand on the ground with it. Romulus howled once again and started to whimper in pain.

"So, ready to speak now?" I asked him and he was still whimpering on the ground.

"Sure have it your way" I said and started the same process with his left hand, then without asking him anything I moved on to his legs… when I was finally ripping the adamantium from his left leg he finally stopped howling.

"Um… why did you stop?" I looked at his face and his eyes were completely hollow now. Ooppsy… looks like he lost his mind. It will be completely useless to torture him anymore… I expected a lot more from him, but looks like he was weak and pathetic. Logan is a lot stronger than him.

I shook my head in disappointment and decided to deal with him permanently. "Fiendfyre" I said while pointing my arm towards him and his body was engulfed in the cursed fire.

It only took a minute but his body was completely gone… he didn't even leave behind any trace of him except a lump of red hot molten adamantium. I decided to take it back to Elysium to see if the adamantium could be still used now…

Hah!! I finally released a sigh… I am going to take a small break…
