Ultimate Marvel System

Chapter 55: Interest

AN: Sorry for the delay. I was having a mid-life crisis. XD Short version is, I wasn't in the right mood to write the next scene. And actually, I still am not but I still tried anyway. If I don't I'll just keep procrastinating and this won't end well for any of us. Mostly me cause I'm sure people will hunt me if I stopped writing...

There will be a few more smol arcs till we get to the next big Avengers arc but it will be soon. At least, before Natasha gives birth XD

That's all, enjoy!

Chapter 55: Interest

After what seemed like an eternity, Benjamin finally snapped out of it and embraced Natasha in excitement.

Natasha initially felt uneasy when Benjamin didn’t show any response. But now, feeling his warmth, she smiled in relief and hugged him back.

Rogue and Death didn’t say anything and merely let them have their moment.

That night, Benjamin and the others sat at the dining table as they ate and talked merrily. It was quite a festive atmosphere.

As they ate, Benjamin also introduced Death to them as she would be living with them in the meantime.

“Oh, right. Ben, I heard you’ve met Carol already. How is it?”

“Hm? Well, she’s certainly an energetic one.”

“Did you do her already?”

“I…err…i-it just sorta happened…”

Benjamin coughed in embarrassment.

It was still fine before but now after knowing he’s going to be a father, he can’t help but think his actions were not proper but he also didn’t want to lie about it to her.

Natasha chuckled as she could tell what he was thinking.

“It’s fine. Our relationship is still the same as before. Just that now, we won’t be able to do it as much anymore while I’m pregnant.”

“Don’t worry! I’ll take care of Ben!”

Rogue grinned while giving a thumbs-up.

“Haha. Can you handle him yourself?”

“I’ll just pull Ororo too then.”

The two girls laughed while Benjamin could only smile wryly.

At the side, Death looked at the three of them curiously but said nothing.

Benjamin felt he needed to explain so he spoke.

“Ah, you see, these two are-”

“Your lovers. I know. It is not unusual to see a man with multiple women or a woman with multiple men in the universe. More often than not, those with great power would often take in multiple wives. Considering your strength, this much is normal.”

“I-is that so…”

Well…Death has a different culture after all. It’s normal she would think so…

Looking at her small figure, one can’t help but forget how she’s one of the most powerful entities in the universe…

Death, seeing Benjamin look at her in awe, smiled teasingly.

“Like what you see? Although this body of mine is that of a child’s, I’m completely able to do it you know? And I’m sure my age is completely above whatever legal age of consent you have in this world.”

Somehow, the way she spoke was quite seductive…

Thinking of this, Benjamin quickly snapped out and shook his head.

Natasha and Rogue were looking at him with a snicker.

So this is also your type huh~?

-Is what their eyes were saying.

Benjamin’s mouth twitched a bit.

He decided to change the subject immediately.

“A-ahem. Anyway, what’s you plan now, Nat?”

“Hm? What do you mean?”

“I mean…are you going to take a leave or something?”

“Ah. Actually, I’m thinking of retiring now.”

“Eh?”

Benjamin looked at Natasha in surprise. He didn’t expect that she would retire just like that.

“Of course, if the world is in trouble, I’ll still help if needed. But now, there are already a lot more heroes. Especially after the establishment of the EPD. I don’t think I’d be needed anymore.”

Natasha just smiled.

It wasn’t a sad smile where in she was sad that she’d be retiring. It was a smile of relief.

For a long time now, she had always wanted a family. Because she couldn’t, she just devoted herself to her work. Being an agent and an Avenger.

But now, after the emergence of the EPD, there had been less work for her to do as most of the fieldwork is handled by either SHIELD agents or the EPD.

She only takes to the field when one of the villains she’s familiar with resurfaces. But even those are getting less and less.

Other times she works are also when they go against HYDRA. But now, HYDRA is also under Benjamin and isn’t much of a problem anymore.

Now that she had also gotten pregnant, it was the right time for her to retire.

“So that’s it? You ready to hang up the Black Widow suit?”

Rogue asked.

Natasha smiled and shook her head.

“Hang it up? No need.”

“Didn’t you say you were going to retire?”

“I am. But there’s no reason for ‘Black Widow’ to do the same.”

Natasha looked out the window as if looking beyond the horizon in search of someone.

“I think it’s time I pass it on to my little sister.”

“Yelena, was it?”

Benjamin asked.

Natasha had spoken of her quite a bit in the past and would often praise her too.

She was her little sister not by blood but in the sense that the two of them were both ‘Widows’ back when they were in the Red Room.

Natasha nodded then looked at Benjamin with a smile.

“What’s with that look? Do you want to meet her and make her yours too?”

“That’s not it!”

Seriously…these girls always think I’m planning to sleep with any woman they mention…

The four of them continued to chat before finally turning in for the day.

Benjamin naturally showed Death to her room as they wouldn’t be sleeping together.

Rogue also slept in another room to give Benjamin and Natasha some time alone.

That night, neither Benjamin nor Natasha slept for a long time as they continued their ‘talk’ on the bed until the morning.

As for what they talked about. It was naturally the mysteries of the universe…

The following morning, Benjamin got out of the room and saw Death already eating breakfast on the dining table.

She gave him a glance before going back to eating but not before saying her piece.

“Next time, don’t wear the crown.”

“Huh?”

“I am still bound to your Soul Stone after all. With you wearing it, I can feel all sorts of things too.”

“...”

Benjamin’s mouth opened but no words came out from it. He was speechless!

Does that mean…Death was also ‘feeling it’ when he was ‘feeling’ Natasha!?

“Umu. It was certainly quite an experience. Due to the nature of my powers, I have never actually had sex with anyone before. To think that I would experience it before having my first time…it’s quite interesting.”

So she really was feeling it too!!!

Benjamin’s face blushed in embarrassment.

It’s not that he was embarrassed that someone was ‘watching’ him do the act, but the person watching it is Death! One of the most powerful beings in the universe!

And also a loli!

Although her age was well beyond his own, her appearance still makes him think that he did something wrong by letting a kid watch something she shouldn’t!

Benjamin felt like he should say something but didn’t know what to say.

Unfortunately, Death wasn’t finished.

“Do people of this world see their mothers in a sexual way too?”

“Of course not!”

“Then how come you were calling her Mo-”

“AHHH!!!”

Benjamin panicked and quickly closed her little mouth with his hands.

He glared at her, not caring about her real identity or her power over Death.

“FORGET. EVERYTHING. YOU. HEARD.”

“...”

Death was speechless.

After seeing Death nod, Benjamin sighed and fled to the bathroom to take a bath.

Seeing him leave like that, the corner of Death’s mouth curled slightly.

“No way I’ll forget it just like that. Hehe, I’ll see how long it takes before you call me Mommy~”

Having spent millions of years in isolation, Death finally found something interesting.

This man called Benjamin Freed.

A person from another universe. Not to mention he seemed to possess something that can even override ‘that brat’s’ powers.

She wouldn’t let him off easily.

She looked at her own small body and smirked.

“It’s good that I’m not in my original form. Otherwise, conquering him won’t be a challenge. I’ll see how long he can take being seduced by a kid. Hehe.”

In fact, Death can already tell that Benjamin was indeed interested in her.

But her current form is still holding him back.

Death wanted to see how long it would take for him to give in.

It was quite interesting.

Before, it would be other people courting Death. But now, Death seems to be the one courting someone else.

As for feelings of love, Death didn’t have any. To her, it was just ‘interesting’ to do.

After all, she was Death.

How can Death fall in love?

Death shook her head and continued to eat her breakfast.

“Umu. As they say, to eat is to live. It’s nice to have something to eat again after so long.”

She enjoyed the food although she didn’t need to eat to survive.

“Speaking of, that little girl Natasha seemed to always drink Ben’s semen last night. Does it really taste good?”

Death licked the corner of her mouth, seemingly in anticipation.

In the bathroom, Benjamin suddenly shivered out of nowhere and quickly looked around.

It felt as if he was being watched by a predator…

After some time, Natasha and Rogue also woke up and started to chat with Death in the living room.

Benjamin got out of the bath and asked Death.

“What’s your plan today? Or are you still going to follow me around?”

“Don’t you need to take care of something? It’s boring. I’d rather stay here and chat with Nat and Anna.”

Benjamin nodded and sighed in relief in his mind.

It was a bit stressful taking care of this little miss…it feels like he’s walking in pins and needles all the time.

“Alright. I’ll get going then. Call me if you need something.”

Benjamin said to the three then left the mansion to go look for Ophelia.

A few moments later, the two of them met in a public park near a university.

On the way, Benjamin had already called Ophelia and told her his purpose in looking for her so they decided to meet up here.

Here, they could catch a glimpse of a certain someone sitting in one of the classrooms in the university by the window.

She had short red hair and a playful smirk on her face while listening to the lecture.

As told before, Sinthea is actually living a normal happy life now which was why Benjamin didn’t intervene before.

There were two choices now.

Let her continue to live a blissfully ignorant life and take care of Red Skull discreetly. Or intervene and pull her back into the world of heroes and villains before Red Skull can reach her.

Benjamin wanted to choose the former but they still don’t know when and where Red Skull will arrive. It may be too late if they just monitor her like this.

“What’s the plan now?”

Ophelia asked.

Benjamin turned to her and was about to answer when he caught a glimpse of the professor in Sinthea’s class.

[Helmut Zemo - Baron Zemo. Affiliated with HYDRA]

“...”

Benjamin frowned then turned to look at Ophelia.

“...I’m asking just in case, but were you the one who put Zemo there?”

“Zemo? He’s here?”

Ophelia also frowned and zoomed in on the window using her high-tech glasses.

After all, bringing a telescope is too inconspicuous so she was wearing special glasses with an HUD and other functions since earlier.

“Do you mean the teacher? I’ve investigated but from what I know, the professor’s name is Daniel Bruhl. I checked his background and it was clean.”

“How much do you know about Baron Zemo?”

Benjamin asked.

Ophelia shook her head.

“Back then, I only met him once or twice and he always had that stupid mask on. After I took over, he never showed up again. I’ve been trying to find him again but I was unable to.”

Benjamin sighed.

“For him to be here is no coincidence. I’ll act once classes ends.”

“How about me?”

“Your identity is still useful. We can compromise it yet.”

“Understood.”

Ophelia smiled and gave him a kiss before leaving.

“I’ll wait for your good news then.”

“You seem awfully confident I’ll succeed.”

Benjamin chuckled.

Ophelia laughed.

“If even you fail, then there’s no need for anyone to try anymore.”

Benjamin watched her swaying ass as she left for a bit before turning back to where Sinthea and Zemo were.

“Hopefully we’re not too late. If we are…then it’s a pity.”

It wasn’t like all hope was lost if they were late. It would just mean that he would need to deal with Sinthea too and it would be a pity. That’s all it was.

After all, Sinthea was already having a happy lifestyle. It’s a pity that it won’t last long anymore.
