Chapter 20: The Consultant
[Time – The Next Day – Adam's Apartment]
The apartment was a silent, empty, dead place. The air was thick with a single, unyielding sound. The sound of a single, final, unyielding thought. The sound of a single, final, unyielding truth. The sound of a single, final, unyielding destiny. Adam, a silent, unblinking presence, was a man who was a ghost. He was here to find the truth. The truth about Project Sentry. The truth about the System. The truth about himself. He was here to find the truth about the man who was a ghost. He was here to find the truth about the man who was a god. He was here to find the truth about the man who was a monster. He was here to find the truth about the man who was a hero.
He received a final message from the mysterious "Agent" . It was a formal invitation to a meeting with Director Nick Fury. The message was a brutal, terrifying punch to the gut. He was a ghost. A ghost who was a threat to a god. He was a man. A man who was a threat to a monster. He was a man who was a threat to a program. He was a man who was a threat to a god. He had to act. He had to find a way to win. He had to find a way to save himself.
"Adam, I know who you are. I know what you are. I know what you can do. And I want to know... what do you want?"
Fury's voice was a low, steady, professional hum. A sound of a pure, unyielding purpose. A sound of a pure, unyielding truth. A sound of a pure, unyielding destiny.
"I'm not a weapon. I'm not a tool. I'm a person. I'm a person who is a ghost. I'm a person who is a god. I'm a person who is a monster. I'm a person who is a hero. I'm a person who has a mission. My mission is to find the truth. The truth about the System. The truth about myself. The truth about the man who was a ghost. The truth about the man who was a god. The truth about the man who was a monster. The truth about the man who was a hero."
Adam's voice was a low, steady, professional hum. A sound of a pure, unyielding purpose. A sound of a pure, unyielding truth. A sound of a pure, unyielding destiny.
"The key... it's not a weapon... it's not a program... it's a person... it's a person who worked with Zola... it's a person who worked with Hydra... it's a person who worked with the Sentry... it's a person who worked with the System... it's a person who worked with the monster... it's a person who worked with the god... it's a person who worked with the ghost... it's a person who worked with the hero... it's me."
The woman's voice was a low, quiet whisper, a sound of a pure, unyielding surprise. The voice was a sound of a pure, unyielding purpose. The voice was a sound of a pure, unyielding truth. The voice was a sound of a pure, unyielding destiny. The voice was a sound of a pure, unyielding world. The voice was a sound of a pure, unyielding universe.
[Time – Moments Later – The Apartment]
Adam packed a small bag. He stared at the glowing blue System interface, then at his phone. A choice made. He now knows his journey is no longer just about mischief; it's about his own survival and the secrets of the MCU. He is now an asset to two different factions: one human, one purely digital. He is a ghost. A ghost who is a threat to a god. He is a man. A man who is a threat to a monster. He is a man who is a threat to a program. He is a man who is a threat to a god. He had to act. He had to find a way to win. He had to find a way to save himself.
