Chapter 607: Hermione's Power (Second Update)
Chapter 607: Hermione's Power (Second Update)
Half an hour later, the well-fed little Charlie was already asleep in the cradle.
"So, both Charlie and I have metahuman genes, and we are both metahumans?"
After hearing Has's explanation, Belle was completely stunned.
She never thought that the superpowers she only saw on TV could actually happen to her. To be honest, her first reaction wasn't happiness but fear.
Or perhaps, a normal, happy, and down-to-earth person isn't particularly receptive to situations that might change their current life.
They just want to live their own quiet, ordinary, and happy lives.
Belle was afraid that being a metahuman would drag her and Charlie into some extraordinary events, disrupting their ordinary family life.
Perhaps sensing the fear in Belle's eyes, or understanding her personality, Has immediately took Belle's hand.
"Belle, it's okay. This isn't a problem. You forgot that I'm the police chief and have dealt with people from the Avengers. Nothing will disturb us."
At that moment, Has silently decided to seek Tony's help, hoping that in his capacity as an off-the-books member of the Avengers, he could prevent government agents from interfering with Belle and little Charlie's lives.
His status as police chief clearly wasn't enough to handle this. He was now grateful that he had agreed to become an off-the-books member of the Avengers when Tony asked.
Since the last demon incident, the Avengers' influence had significantly increased worldwide. As long as Tony was willing to help, this issue should be easily resolved.
As the head of the family, he had to protect his metahuman wife and young daughter, as well as his human son and older daughter. It was his responsibility.
"It's okay, everything will be fine for our family!"
At this moment, Aisha also noticed Belle's fear and murmured.
As a genuine Avenger and a superhero dedicated to protecting the world, she would ensure that no harm came to Belle and little Charlie. Tomorrow, she would seek help from Mr. Stark and Mr. Steve.
"An elderly father, a gentle brother, a timid stepmother, and a newborn sister—all will be protected by me, Aisha!"
Aisha's eyes were filled with determination.
While Has saw his son as an ordinary person and Aisha saw him as a gentle brother, Jerry was currently at S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, patting Director Coulson on the shoulder.
"Coulson, I hope my family can live like normal people without anyone disturbing them!"
"Of course, of course. You can rest assured. We won't include any information about them in the metahuman database we're setting up."
Coulson immediately reassured him, patting his chest.
He knew one of the truths about the last demon incident. Disturbing Jerry's family would be like inviting the world's destruction.
"Good. By the way, have all the metahumans been brought back?"
Jerry nodded.
Currently, only S.H.I.E.L.D. had developed a device to locate metahumans. As long as S.H.I.E.L.D. agents didn't seek out Belle and Charlie, no one would know about their metahuman status.
If Belle and Charlie accidentally revealed their metahuman identities to others in the future, it would be simple to use an Obliviate spell to erase their memories.
While he was reluctant to use Obliviate on his family, he wouldn't hesitate to use it on others.
"Yes, they've all been brought back and are currently gathered in the basement. However, we don't have enough containment pods."
Kore pointed down at his feet with a somewhat helpless expression.
Gordon's teleportation ability had no distance limit, so if they encountered a metahuman still in the process of transformation, he could bring one back in just a few seconds.
Even for metahumans who had already completed their transformation, most of their abilities were not fully developed, and thus they generally had little combat ability. Encountering a well-trained individual like him, it was easy to take them down and bring them back in just a couple of moves.
In special cases, such as a metahuman who was originally a Martial Artist or someone of high status with Bodyguards, the special team could be sent over to resolve the situation and then bring the metahuman back once it was dealt with.
So, in just one afternoon, all the metahumans designated worldwide, numbering in the thousands, were successfully brought back to S.H.I.E.L.D.
When S.H.I.E.L.D. first learned of the existence of metahumans, they developed a special containment pod that could temporarily imprison metahuman abilities. However, at that time, the number of metahumans from Skye's mother's side was not significant.
Therefore, the number of containment pods produced by S.H.I.E.L.D. was also limited.
Even after Coulson mobilized all S.H.I.E.L.D. resources to accelerate production over the course of the afternoon, it was still not enough to accommodate the thousands of metahumans.
Fortunately, most ordinary people, even after awakening their abilities, remained ordinary. They instinctively felt fear when faced with firearms. With the patient explanations of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, there was no immediate outbreak of unrest among the metahumans.
However, this was not a long-term solution.
Just as Coulson finished speaking, the radio at his waist suddenly crackled to life.
"Jemma, what's the matter?"
"Director, the containment pod issue has been resolved. Miss Granger just used magic to help us solve the problem", came Jemma's excited voice over the radio.
Coulson was momentarily taken aback. He had assumed Hermione was just an ordinary person, never expecting her to be a witch capable of using magic. How many more witches with magical abilities existed in this world?
"Let's go take a look!"
Jerry smiled when he heard the radio. Before coming to speak with Coulson, he had seen Jemma and Hermione chatting quite amicably and had asked Jemma to continue showing Hermione around the base.
It seemed Hermione had seen the situation in the basement and offered to help.
Sure enough, when he and Coulson arrived at the basement, they found that the entire floor had been expanded by three or four times its original size using the Undetectable Extension Charm. Inside, there were numerous containment pods replicated using the Duplication Spell.
"Jerry, you're here! I heard from Jemma that they were having some trouble, so I decided to lend a hand", Hermione said, running up to Jerry with a proud expression.
Her eager, almost childlike demeanor made Jerry chuckle.
In Hermione's view, these people, including Coulson, were Jerry's friends. Plus, Jemma's tour of the base had taught her a lot of useful information, so she was happy to help out with a bit of magic.
After all, this wasn't her world, so she didn't have to abide by the Ministry of Magic's laws.
"It looks like your magic has improved a lot!"
Jerry ruffled Hermione's hair, not sparing any praise.
Hermione was one of the most mature individuals among her peers, yet she often displayed a more childish side in front of Jerry.
In his presence, she always felt a sense of security, as if all her worries could be cast aside.
