MARVEL: GAMER PATH - CHAPTER 28 (Patreon)

Adopting Goose was super easy, barely an inconvenience, but now I was worried that perhaps the Flerken was a bit too powerful, though I suppose if Goose ever misbehaves a muzzle could do the trick to stop her, but still, I never expected the cat to be so ahead of me, a few levels sure, but almost two hundred levels ahead of me, it never occurred to me, it was honestly quite shocking, but I suppose if I need someone to protect Emily, Goose is the cat for the job, I doubted anyone could get to her now that Goose was our house pet.

Anyway, after finding Goose outside the facility and adopting her, I went back to the house to present her to Emily, who as soon as she saw the Flerken hugged the ever living crap of it, surprisingly, instead of acting like a normal cat Goose purred, content with the situation, perhaps that was were Flerkens and earth cats differed.

“I’ll see you next week Martha,” I waved at Martha as she left the house.

Now that I was alone, well, alone without Martha, it was time to level up, and what better way to do so than the new dungeon I had found in New York, a dungeon of my level, I know, shocking.

I had found it on my way back from getting Goose, in a way, the dungeon was hidden, but now, I knew where it was, and it was time to finally level up in a dungeon.

“Well, I’m off to buy some food, do you want anything?” I asked Emily.

“Ice cream?” Emily smiled, Goose purring in content on her arms.

“Not food, but sure,” I chuckled, turning my gaze to Goose, “Goose, if anyone that is not me comes, eat then! Okay?”

Goose purred loudly as if saying yes sir, as Emily giggled, “How can she eat someone? She’s a tiny adorable cat! Silly dad,”

“Well…” I clicked my tongue, how was I supposed to explain this to her, “You see, Goose is not your run of the mill cat, he is a super powered one, in short in has the tools to back up the ego most cats have,”

Emily looked at Goose, beaming with even more happiness, “I have a super cat?!” she asked, confirming what I had just said.

“Yes, and you know the drill,” I reminded her.

“No one can know,” Emily repeated.

“Good, now, I’m off to buy Tuna for Goose, and food for us,” I smiled, patting her in the head, and then Goose, who was staring at me with a look that said, I deserve petting too, pet me or I shall throw a fit.

“Remember to bring the ice cream!” Emily reminded me, as I opened the door of the house to leave.

“Worry not, I shall bring thy ice cream, princess Emily,” I bowed with a wink.

“I shall await for you, my Knight,” Emily giggled, as I closed the door.

At the grocery store, I picked all the stuff I needed for Goose and Emily, before going to the cash register, a normal day, until I saw something, or rather someone, a Hydra agent tailing me, [Robert Krom LV 28 - Hydra Agent] if there is something I am glad for is my ability to see titles, god I love this shit.

Anyway, Robert the Hydra agent was following me like a stray dog after you petted him once on the street, tailing my every move from a relatively safe distance. The question now was, when did Hydra find out about me? again.

Perhaps Fury informed someone of my location and that someone was unbeknownst to him part of Hydra, or perhaps someone followed Fury when he visited me last time and now they know where I am, who knows, I guess I will find out soon enough when I… have a heart to heart with my ex colleague, which meant I would have to do the dungeon another time.

Outside the supermarket, I put the groceries in my car, and got in it, driving to the mall, as Robert tailed me with his car, seriously who trained the guy, even a blind idiot would see he is following me, well, I suppose not all Hydra agents can be as efficient as I was.

Parking my car in a pretty desolated area, I walked to the mall, as Robert followed me, with a smile, I made a turn around and winked at the man, who for a moment stood still, then getting into position i sprinted towards him at full speed, which I turn made the Hydra Agent try to run, unfortunately for him, I was way faster than him, and catched up with him.

Right hand on his neck immobilizing him, and the left one on his mouth, I ripped the suicide pills from his mouth like taking grapes from the stem.

“Now that you can’t die because you fucked up, tell me… why are you here?” I asked with a smile, taking my left hand from his bleeding mouth. Dropping the suicide teeth on the ground.

“I will tell you nothing!” Robert hissed as I smiled.

“Oh, don’t worry little bird… eventually, you all sing,” I smiled, dragging the man into my car, not without breaking his arms and legs first, to avoid any opposition on his part.

“I wonder if little Emily is safe…” Robert muttered with a weak smile, trying to… aggravate me, but instead of that, all he did was make me chuckle.

“Oh, you poor little thing,” I snorted, “If only you knew…”

[Emily POV]

An hour after daddy left to buy some groceries, the bad guys came for me… they were once again after us, why couldn’t they leave us alone, what did we do to deserve this.

“Come, little girl,” one of the bad guys approached me, but before he could touch me, Goose came into view yowling at them. “Stupid c—“ before he could finish that sentence, Goose opened her mouth beyond what should be possible, and several tentacles rushed at the man, swallowing him whole.

“What in the fuck…” the other two men that had entered the apartment muttered as Goose rushed at them, hissing.
