Quoted By:

Nevertheless, Ana didn’t seem the least bit surprised when she turned to lock eyes with you. She did, however, look pleased to see you wearing the costume she designed.

You both tried, and failed to ignore the way your cloak pooled on the couch beside her.

“Yeah, I'm still working on a way to stop that from happening.” you admitted.

“It is detachable, my heart.” she said, an amused grin playing across her lips.

“I know…but it looks really cool.” you replied, reaching up(or down?) to feel the fabric between your fingers. “I wonder if Black Panther ever has these problems.”

“I am glad that you like it enough to wear it even when I am not here.”

“I was thinking of you the entire time I was wearing it.” you said, leaning closer.

Ana lowered her eyelids and inched closer as well.

“Should I be flattered?” she said, her warm breath brushing against your mask.

“I'll do more than flatter you-”

That was about all Ember could take. She quickly got up, paused her game and moved to the kitchen.

Ana didn’t even spare her a glance as she rolled your mask down(up?) and pressed her lips against yours.

The kiss began as something tender and slow. Teasing, even. But it quickly evolved into something that you could only describe as passionate and breathtaking. You could feel her exhaling through her nose as her tongue tangled with yours.

It was finally starting to sink in for the both of you. At long last, you were together again. And that meant your brief period of abstinence was about to end. And maybe–just maybe–you’d actually get to introduce some romance back into this relationship. Something more than physical.

By the time your kiss broke, you were already tearing off your mask and flipping around so that you landed on the couch when you released your webline.

What will you say/do?

>”I didn't think you'd be coming back so soon. You should've called so I'd have time to set up something super romantic.”
>”You wanna get out of here? We can go out for dinner, take a walk, hunt down some lowlives…”
>”Can I take this to mean that you're staying for a while? Because if you are, I can make some extra room for your stuff.”
>”Maybe I can design a suit for you someday. It’d be like those matching sweaters or shirts that other couples wear, but a lot less stupid-looking.”
>Write-in.

Quoted By:

Somehow, you managed to convince everyone that raiding the medical wing of this research facility was the most profitable thing to do. For obvious reasons, everyone other than Glass insisted that you go and gather more weapons. But when you brought up the fact that people might pay top dollar for confidential information regarding medical experimentation, along with samples of said drugs, they started to come around. Even if they were technically expired, there was still a lot to learn from the research that was done here. It might genuinely help someone in the future.

Without prompting, your father’s face came to mind. You doubted that you were going to find the cure for cancer down here, neatly labeled and wrapped in a big red bow, ripe for the taking. But, it wouldn’t hurt to check and see if any of this stuff could benefit him as well. After all, you weren’t heartless.

The only people that didn’t seem terribly excited by the prospect of making money from this stuff were Anastasia and Glass. The blonde huntress was already rich, and the Morlock boy had never been swayed by offers of riches before. He and Callisto were alike in that regard, but for someone who lived on the streets for most of their life, wandering from place to place, it had even less value to him. Instead, they both appeared to be speculating on the potential impact this would have in various medical fields.

And, somehow, to your mild annoyance, this opened up a discussion that allowed the two of them to get to know each other better. As it turned out, due to his nomadic lifestyle, Glass had more than a few interesting stories to share with the group. Anastasia was keenly interested in these stories of his, and even began sharing some of her own.

You found yourself glancing over at them several times, and even inserted yourself in their conversation every now and again, just to remind them that you were there. And judging from the teasing smile that Iara was giving you, you guessed that she had an inkling of what was going through your head at the time.

After a few minutes of this, you decided that it was time to begin introducing yourselves to the metal giant.

“You know, I never got your name.”

His shoulders lifted marginally, as if to shrug. He was currently walking in front of everyone, since no one here trusted their backs to him.

“Yup.”

There was a finality to that simple response that told you that had been his intention all along. You ignored the cold gesture and pushed right on through.

“I’m the ‘Huntsman’. The foxy blonde with the ponytail, as you probably know, is Anastasia Kravinoff. And next to her is ‘Glass’. The shark lady behind him is ‘The Deep One’, and the grumpy guy next to her is ‘Prowler’.”

You said, pointing at each of them in turn, except for one.

“Hey! What about me?”

Flint looked indignant, but you could tell that it didn’t have any real emotion behind it.

Quoted By:

>99

At first, you weren’t very optimistic about your chances of actually finding anything worthwhile. But to everyone’s surprise, including your own, you managed to find something that stuck out as unusual to you.

Not quite tire tracks, but a trail of disturbed sand within a consistent radius. Sort of like a helicopter had been flowing low to the ground and sent everything around and beneath it flying off in all directions.

“I’m thinking hover tech was used here.” Benga concluded.

“An astute observation.” Ana observed, before turning a pride-filled smile towards you. “Nice find. I’m not sure if I would have caught that.”

Maybe it was the desert heat, or the stuffiness of the hazmat suit, but you could feel heat spreading through your face.

“You’re just being modest. I’m sure you would have found it.” you said, giving her a light tap on the shoulder.

“Do not sell yourself short, Huntsman. You show great promise. Perhaps one of these days we can truly put your skills to the test.” Ana said, excitement clear in her voice and expression, even through the screen of her helmet.

You liked the idea of taking another trip with Anastasia in the future. And maybe this time you could finally have some alone time. No looming threats or agendas to worry about. Just you, her, and whatever exotic location you chose to retreat to.

“We’ve got something to work with, people!” Koa called out. “Let’s get a move on.”

—---------

Now that you had a trail to follow, you all hopped back into the car and drove slowly so that Ana and Flint could lead you towards your destination. Koa was grateful for their efficiency. Especially because it allowed him to avoid entering what he described as “Mojave City”.

According to Araña, it was a town in the middle of the desert where people pretended to be post-apocalyptic survivors and shunned any and all forms of government control. They were almost entirely independent, but they were open to trade with outside parties.

The camp was apparently home to mutates, mutants and inhumans like, with little to no discrimination between them. You absently wondered what Callisto would’ve thought of such a place. It was nice to know that others were open to providing outcasts with refuge in the same way that she did. You almost regretted not taking the detour so that you could take pictures, but you weren’t sure if the people there would appreciate that.

Probably not.

Quoted By:

“I guess you’ve already seen my handsome face, so there isn’t much point in hiding it from you.”

“You’ll be removing more than just your mask, Huntsman.” she said in a suggestive tone. “Now’s the time for you to show me that you can dress yourself properly, with as little spandex involved as possible.”

“Aww, not even a little?”

“I don’t want to see an inch of spandex when you board that plane.” she shot back.

“Oh, yeah. Which airline are we flying?” you asked.

“Kravinoff. We’re going by private jet.”

“Ooh, fancy! Will there be champagne and those fancy little bags of peanuts?”

Anastasia chuckled. “Among other things, yes. I would’ve thought you’d be more excited about the lobster than the peanuts.”

You shrugged. ”What can I say? I’m a simple guy. Pop in an in-flight movie, pass me a few bags of Lorna Doones and I won’t complain.”

Ana made a thoughtful noise. “I see. So what you’re saying is you don’t want the lobster.”

“Now, I never said that. Even simple men can have expensive tastes.”

“Then I suppose we’ve both been tasked with meeting the other’s expectations.” she said teasingly.

“Then prepare to be blown away, because I’m gonna be one out of two of the sexiest things to fly into Vegas that week!”

That earned an earnest laugh from Ana. “We’ll see if you can live up to that promise. In the meantime, I will inform my father of our intentions and prepare things on my end. Until then, you should try and take care of any urgent, unfinished business on your end. I’m not entirely sure of how long this trip might take.”

“Got it. Let me know when you’ve got a date for our departure.”

“Of course.” she said, momentarily pausing to converse with someone in Russian. “I’m afraid that I will have to cut this conversation short. Thank you for your time, Huntsman. I wish you a good night.”

“Goodnight, Ana.”

After she hung up, you found yourself staring at your contacts list once more, wondering what it is that you needed to do before you departed for Vegas. With luck, Sam would get back to you about the meeting before you left, but you had no way of knowing how busy Reed Richards usually was.

Seeing as how Cindy was dorming at BVA, she shouldn’t have any problems if you took a little trip. As far as you know, she’s got a good amount of money saved up from her allowance. And Flint and Va Nee should be able to prevent any attacks made on the Parker household.

There was also the thing with Silvermane. You were running out of time to snatch up some of the more valuable mutates and mercenaries that would be invaluable in the coming gang war. If you weren’t going to be participating in the recruitment process, he would have to be informed beforehand.

Quoted By:

Over the course of the next few hours, you proceeded to blow up Toomes’ phone, filling his inbox with countless voicemails and flooding his notification window with angry message after angry message. Eventually, he gave in to your constant pestering and sent you a rather large, detailed file on the substance that he’d created to power his suits.

You thanked him, and passed the file on to Prowler. He noted that the structure of the compound was admittedly complex, and it would take a while for him to figure it out. Maybe you can get Sam in on this to speed up the process.

>You’ve obtained the formula for Compound V!

—------

After that was done, you picked a quiet little corner to have a nice chat with Ana. And by “quiet little corner”, you meant your roof.

“Huntsman. What is it?” she answered in her usual stern tone.

“I got a new job and I was wondering if you’d be interested in tagging along. It seemed like it’d be right up your alley.”

“You wish to hunt something together?” she asked, a bit of excitement creeping into her voice.

“Well, some of the guys that we’ll be tracking down need to be taken in alive and unharmed, but I think everything else is free game.” you said in reply.

There was a long pause over the line before she spoke again. And when she did, it was straight and to the point.

“Explain.”

And you did. You explained the thing about Peter Pan, the mutant children, the pirates, and even the Tick Tock Croc. Anastasia didn’t say anything throughout the entire explanation.

Finally, when you were done, she made a somewhat derisive snort.

“Those are just fairytale myths.” she said. “What makes you so sure that the boy you saw wasn’t just that. A boy, playing pretend and telling made up stories.”

You almost said that the information came from a trusted source, but you weren’t entirely sure if that was the right word to describe your relationship with Hill. It was more of a…mutually beneficial agreement where both of you decided not to ruin each other’s lives.

“It wouldn’t be the weirdest thing to ever happen.” you finally said.

“Hm. I suppose not.” she admitted. “But if you truly believe that ‘Neverland’ is a real place…then I will need to make room for more trophies in the Kravinoff Estate.”

“Hell yeah! They’ve got giant crocks, wolves, flamingos, giant birds-”

“Mm. We will leave the birds alone.” Ana interrupted. “If the fairytales are to be believed, the birds provide a vital resource to the people of our realm.”

“Oh? What do they do?” you asked, becoming mildly intrigued.

“They are like…storks. They deliver children to men and women that cannot have children of their own.” she explained.

“Okay, there is no way that the stork exists too!” you protested. “I refuse to believe it!”

Quoted By:

“We were honestly trying to figure out who you and your friends were. We caught multiple trails out there, and I guess we just so happened to follow yours to the end.” you explained.

She raised a perfectly manicured eyebrow at that. “Friend?” she asked, right before her eyes widened in recognition. “Ah. You refer to the White One. We have met in passing, but I would not go so far as to refer to him as an ally or an acquaintance. His work is that of a butcher’s.”

You exchanged a glance with Cindy, feeling hopeful for the first time in many long hours. She seemed to be strangely excited, for some reason. “You know the other hunter?” you asked.

She gave a small nod. “I have observed him from afar, yes. He is a very peculiar individual.” she said, drawing her cloak tighter around her torso. “His fighting style, tactics and mannerisms seem to change each time I encounter him. It is a tactic that I employ rather often, but I have never seen anything quite like this. It is like he can become a completely different person in the blink of an eye.”

Cindy wrapped her fingers together and gave the woman a questioning look. She frowned in response.

“Don’t be ridiculous. I am merely interested in him…from a purely scientific perspective, of course. If possible, I would like to study him further.” she thought aloud.

“If I’m being entirely honest, I was hoping that we could either team up, or exchange information on a topic of mutual interest.” you said.

“I did not come to this concrete jungle for ‘team-ups’. I am here to slay great, and powerful beasts. Only then can I bring honor to my family name.” she proudly declared with her hands on her hips.

“What is your family name, anyway?” you asked.

She studied you for a moment, and then raised her chin and straightened her back. “Kravinoff. Anastasia Kravinoff. You would do well to remember it.” she advised.

“Alright, Ana…” you began, pretending not to notice the way her eye twitched when you called her that. “Here’s what we know so far.”

—---

Over the next several minutes, you relayed the information that Morbius gave you at the Eternal Club. You purposefully left out the fact that such a club existed, because you didn’t doubt that Ana might try to stake Morbius if she ever found out about him. Throughout the course of your retelling, she didn’t interrupt once. She simply nodded and waited for your story to reach its conclusion.

“So this…’Baroness Blood’ is the mightiest among them?” she asked.

“No. That’d be Count Dracula. I’m told that she’s pretty powerful and influential, though.” you explained.

“Then she might yet be worthy prey.”
