NOVEL NEXT Chapter 19: 19
For the most part, my interview was a success Although there were still a few that condemned my actions they were drowned out by my surprising amount of support. It seemed that when humanity wasn't as hopeless as I suspected that they were and recognized the bigger picture. Although the rest of the world appreciated the honesty of the situation there were some people who didn't as she currently sitting in my living room.
Amanda Waller: Who the fuck permitted you to release classified information to the public?
"I did because I didn't need permission from you or anyone else I serve the God Emperor of mankind first and foremost not you. If I choose to do missions it is for the good of mankind as a whole not just the United States and if you have a problem a problem with how I operate then take it up with Fury. My only purpose is to await the next God Emperor of mankind in this universe and to lead mankind into a new golden age"
Waller: If you only care about humanity's prosperity then you wouldn't mind cutting out some tumors would you?
"Who is this dissident that you need me to kill?"
Waller: A former Nazi superhuman named Red Skull, we recently discovered his current location and have a limited window before he disappears again
"I have heard of this Red Skull from Steve Rogers he is one of his long-time enemies why did you come to me instead of him or the Avengers for that matter?"
Waller: Because I saw a man cut through an army of charging apes and didn't consider sparing them before destroying his target. You are someone who would rip apart the enemy without a moral dilemma to end the threat and we can't let him slip through our fingers again
"You're right Call Fury and have him send the Avengers"
Waller: I came to you because I don't trust them to get the job done
"They won't they'll just be a distraction as he is used to fighting with them he will be too focused on them he won't see me coming and if things go wrong it will be their fault, not yours"
Amanda Waller agreed and gave me the location with a head start before alerting the Avengers about Red Skull. She was right not to trust them to catch the Red Skull because Shield had been infiltrated by Hydra agents. This is why they have yet to come close to catching any major Hydra operatives or foiling anything of significance unless they become extremely careless. Unfortunately for Hydra, after the worlds merged many of their bases were exposed by the new influx of supers and other criminal organizations.
Red Skull's lair was hidden in plain sight in an upscale theater. It was pretty clever as no one questioned who went to see what movie and it allowed people to disappear in crowds easily. Noticing this I scanned the minds of those entering and leaving until I found someone high enough on the food chain to approve my entry into the base. She was a hard-faced woman that liked to sexually abuse pretty boys well known for her sexual harassment. The reason why she kept her position was due to simply how talented she was at her job of managing the base and controlling the surrounding areas. All I did was make it so that she forcefully appointed me to be her secretary as she has been known to do and no one would question why I was there.
