Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: Kilgrave

Getting a task from the system was supposed to be a good thing. Under normal circumstances, Will would have been overjoyed and would've tried his best to complete the task to the best of his ability. 

There was no way. The Multiverse travel Feature of the system and the Aura powered skill sounded really good to him, who was hungry for power. 

Too bad, he couldn't give a single fuck to the mission right now. 

All he could focus on was the fact that Kilgrave, the sinister fucker who control the minds of multiple people at once, was coming. And he was coming specifically for him. 

For the love gods, he had no idea how he had provoked this fucker. 

Will had been making counter measures against all kinds of super threats. But he didn't expect to be attacked by this guy, who can control his mind. Not only that, he also attacked him right when he had the lowest security around him. 

Will was in a state of panic. Kilgrave has no bottom line. He would destroy people's lives, torture them, make them do the most unspeakable taboo things just for enjoyment. 

It can be imagined what Will's fate will be once Kilgrave takes over. Not only that, if he somehow learnt the secret of Will's meta knowledge of the marvel world, it would be game over. 

At this time, the Patek Philippe watch also turned digital and his bodyguard's voice rang in his ear. 

"Boss, something's wrong. Ethan might be compromised. He's currently leading an unidentified purple skinned male to your location. Permission to engage." 

"No! Do NOT engage. I repeat, DO NOT engage!" 

But the next thing he heard was a thin nasally voice saying: "Hey you! Follow me as well. Follow only my orders from now on." 

"Yes." This was Brock. 

It seems that Brock was also gone. Will had no time to waste anymore. 

"Harry, we have to run," he said, standing up. "Peter and Gwen, you guys also follow. It's dangerous here." 

"What? What happened?" 

"No time to explain! Follow me!" He exclaimed, dragging Harry, Peter and Gwen with him. 

With three of them leaving, Harry, Aunt May, and Mrs. Stacy naturally had no choice but to follow. 

"Mr Osborne, what is going on here?!" Mr. Johnson demanded, looking pissed. 

"This place is dangerous. Everyone must leave immediately!" He said in a loud voice, making sure everyone heard it. But even then, his steps didn't pause at all. 

Unfortunately, his young appearance played a negative role this time, as most people didn't believe him. 

"Kid, stop playing pranks. No one's gonna be afraid with a cop here," said Harrison Thompson, looking disdainful. 

"Mr. Osborne, please return to your seat," Mr. Johnson also said in a stern tone. "This is a fully secured area with no possibility of danger. I urge you to stop disrupting the meeting for your childish amusement." 

This Mr. Johnson is one of those guys who lives in delusion. He has this sense of superiority that since he is a teacher so everyone should respect him, no matter their background. Especially those who are younger than him. 

In his petty mind, all he cares about is his impression in front of kids and if anyone tries to undermine his authority, he would retaliate purely out of personal malice rather than for the sake of teaching a lesson. 

If he had believed Will and cooperated with him, many other people in this room could have escaped the danger. 

But no matter what, nothing was going to stop him from running the fuck away from this place. While everyone was still confused, Will and his group had reached the door. 

"Mr. Osborne, enough is—" Mr. Johnson came to stop him by force, but Will simply pushed away, leaving the class. 

He wasn't going to waste anymore words. Anyways, he had already taken all the important people out of the class. 

But Harry didn't think so. "Patricia! Come quickly!" He shouted.

"MJ! You should leave too! Wil doesn't joke around!" This was of course Peter. 

Will had a headache at these lovebrained idiots. Will looked at the corridor and was relieved to see no one other than his remaining two bodyguards at the door, John and Rocky. 

"It's Code Red! Take everyone and follow me!" He ordered as he strapped his briefcase to his back. He then picked up the lovebrained Harry and Peter and started running in the opposite direction of the staircase. 

The first thing when he had hired his bodyguards was to teach them Code Red, meaning 

The Bodyguards immediately executed his orders, shielding the women with their bodies and following him. 

The rest of the people in that room might not know Will, May and the Stacys know that he is absolutely reliable and would not be wrong about such a thing, so the ladies did not protest and followed him as fast as possible. 

Will's heart was in his throat as he ran while looking behind. Only after everyone turned the first corner of the corridor did he start to breathe again. 

Knowing his location through the controlled bodyguards, Kilgrave would first go to the class, meaning he could have appeared in the previous corridor at any moment and seen them. And since he didn't appear yet, it means that they are temporarily out of danger. 

Now, all he has to do is get everyone as far away as possible. 

Familiar with the building, Will dragged everyone into a utility room. When everyone entered, Will closed the door shut. 

"Don't contact the others! They have been compromised," he said to the Bodyguard who was tapping his watch. 

He put his briefcase down and clicked the button three times. Unexpectedly, with a mechanical whirling sound similar to the start of a window xp pc, the heavy briefcase 'transformed'. 

The bottom opened up to form a glider and boots attached and two arms stretched from the sides. Will stepped into the boots and inserted his hands into the gloves. 

As he lifted his hands, the white colored titanium reinforced special alloy suit attached itself to his body, the interconnecting wires closing around his frame. 

Only the helmet was hanging at the chest. It had a similar design as the Black Panther Suit except for the pointy metal strips that extended from both sides of the helmet like pointy ears. 

As Will put on the Helmet, it interlocked with the rest of the suit seamlessly, completing the processes. 

The whole exosuit was completely screamlined, almost like a second skin except for the forearms, which were heavy metal and had three different types of blasters each side right above the wrist, and the neck and helmet, which are much thicker for extra protection. 

The iconic glider had been changed to a hoverboard form to facilitate the briefcase transformation, looking much cooler and compact, albeit at the cost of some speed and flight time. But he still had the full-sized glider in his car.

"Whoa…"

"Cool!"

Both Peter and Harry couldn't help exclaiming when they saw the suit, completely forgetting about their respective crushes. The ladies seemed impressed too.

[Aura +10]

[Aura +5]

[Aura +10]

[Aura +10]

[Aura +2]

The whole process only took five seconds to tens seconds and Will was suddenly clad in an absolutely badass combat armor.

"No time for geeking out, kids."

Will made a hand-sign and the boots detached from the hoverboard. He then ran forward and kicked the window on the other end of the room.

BAAM

The window was broken right from the hinges. He then set the launchers on his wrist to web fluid and shot out a bunch of webs below and connected them to the window, effectively forming a , complete with extra padding at the end to break the momentum.

"That's my web fluid," Peter exclaimed in amazement with a 'it can also be used like this?' kind of look.

"Yeah. Everyone, go down now," he said, unceremoniously throwing Peter and Harry out.

The duo slid down the slope, bumping side to side before reaching the cushioned ground.

"Wait, can you at least tell us what's wrong?" Asked Aunt May as Will sat her on the slide.

"Yes Will, what are we running from?" Mrs. Stacy also echoed.

Will had no choice but to explain.

"A very dangerous person is coming to get me. Two of my bodyguards are already down. He doesn't care about human lives, so you guys need to get out before this place becomes chaotic," Will summarized rapidly. "Is that enough?"

Before Aunt May could nod, Will pushed her out. 

Mrs. Stacy, as the Police Captain's wife, was much more adaptive as she helped Gwen to the window. "I'll call George for help," she said before climbing up herself. 

Will nodded. "Don't tell him about the suit though. You know, this suit is illegal," he told her in a mischievous tone.

"Wait, what about the rest of the people in there?" Gwen was quick to notice the problem. If will is so hell-bent on taking them away from the classroom it means that the rest of the parents and students in the class are currently in danger. 

"Don't worry. I'm going to protect them." 

"Protect them—? You are not leaving?!" 

Before she could waste more time, Will pushed her and Mrs. Stacy too. 

Meanwhile, his and the bodyguards' cars had already self driven right below the window. Will made a hand gesture and the hood of his car opened, and the full sized glider Goblin glider flew up in his direction. 

It should be called the elf glider now. Running on special Oscorp fuel cells, it had higher fuel capacity and had a more dangerous arsenal. 

Will didn't really intend to use it but he still kept it as a backup. 

"Go. Take them to safety," he said to the two bodyguards, throwing them the car keys. "Use moderate force if they resist," he added, knowing the group consisted of three teenagers and two very emotional women. 

He could already imagine the drama. 

"Also, strictly tell everyone to keep quiet about my combat suit. Tell them lies like it's related to National Security and the government and military is involved or something," he added. 

"Now go." 

"Yes Boss." 

The bodyguards, who were trained not to question Will's decision during emergencies, immediately jumped down, escorting the group to the cars. 

Will turned around, checking his equipment. Yep, he decided not to run away.

Sure he didn't have superpowers, but he had meta-knowledge, which can also be a superpower if used right. 

He knows Kilgrave's mind control ability is not invincible. It works only when the victims come in contact with his mind controlling pheromones and listen to his orders. 

Knowing this, there are several conditions which can stop his powers. 

First is, of course, not to get in contact with Kilgrave's mind controlling pheromones. 

Secondly, when Kilgrave is unable to speak. 

And the third one, when people are unable to listen to him.

If Kilgrave had managed to take Will by surprise, he might have succeeded. But now that he's on guard, it's a whole different story.

Now, question is whether to kill him directly through sniper or try to capture him alive?

…. 

On the other hand, Kilgrave leisurely strode through the corridor, flanked by his two new bodyguards. He really loves this power from the bottom of his heart. To be able to take over anyone. 

So, imagine his surprise when one day his parents contacted him to tell him that he still had 'hope' and that they were actually very close to working out a 'cure' for his 'condition'.

Kilgrave couldn't let that happen, could he?

Kilgrave first wanted to infiltrate the company and quietly take over everyone. Too bad, he found out through his parents that the company's security was completely automated and Will's home location could not be traced at all. 

So, he was left with no choice but to keep in contact with his parents and find the right opportunity. 

And it worked. His parents told him that Will had gone to his brother's high school. 

So, here he was, taking control over this Osborne brat to get to shut down this project delete, all data and kill anyone involved. Obviously, he would also teach the kid a good lesson before that. 

"Is this the classroom?" He asked the mind-controlled bodyguard Brock. 

Upon confirmation, Kilgrave opened the door a little bit and let his pheromones affect everyone in the room. 

"Everyone, stay still," he shouted in a voice that should be audible to the whole classroom. Suddenly, the noise coming from inside the class disappeared, as if someone had just hit the pause button. 

He then adjusted his hat and slowly walked in, his eyes searching for the Osborne heir in the crowd. The brat's pictures are also rare. He had to ask his parents for it to even know who he had to take over. 

Kilgrave frowned. He couldn't find that face. "You! Where is William Osborne?" He asked the teacher. 

"He just left." 

Kilgrave's eyes widened. "Left? Why?" 

"He just said it's dangerous here and left with 5 other people. Of course, no one else believed him." 

Kilgrave's face looked like he had eaten a fly. "When did he leave?!" 

"Not long ago." 

At this moment, the loud sound of an engine revving sounded, followed by the screeching of tires. Kilgrave quickly ran to the window, only to see the tail lights of a very conspicuous sports car leaving through the gates. 

The security guard, who was still under Kilgrave's control, having the order to stop anyone from leaving, tried to stop the car but it directly blew open the gates without getting a dent. A black car also followed it, which Kilgrave recognised as the bodyguard car. 

"Fuck… me," he muttered, realizing that the opportunity was gone. There was no way he could catch up. 

His gaze turned to the rest of the class.
