Chapter 19 - 0-8-4

After Arthur opened his door, Jemma saw him in his sleepwear. His muscles revealed due to him wearing a sleeveless T-shirt made her feel a bit shy, but the banana shaped outline visible on his boxers made her blush. Although she didn't have experience with the opposite s*x, it did not mean that she wouldn't understand anything about it. High Schools teach about this in S*x education classses so teens are more aware nowadays.

Looking at Jenma's blushing face, Arthur smiled and jokingly said: "You knocked the door of my room in the middle of night, Are you trying to offer yourself to me right now?"

"No! Nothing like that yet. I just discovered that after you knocked out Michael who was going to self-destruct and absorbed the centipede virus from his body, his deteriorating condition seems to have stabilized. So I wanted to ask you about this and know your opinion on it. Maybe we might find a solution for this!" Jemma said excitedly.

"But first please come inside." Arthur took Jemma's hand and led her inside and then shut the door.

"You came to my room in the middle of night just for asking me questions aren't you afraid of others misunderstanding us?" Arthur asked with a teasing smile to the somewhat nervous Jemma, with the intention to reduce her nervousness.

"No one saw me coming here and Skye... Skye is already asleep." Jemma explained.

Arthur smirked a bit and said: "You sound just like a mistress waiting for my wife to fall asleep and sneak out for a date."

Jemma just lowered her head and didn't answer, Arthur could see that her face was blushing red.

"Well, I won't tease you again, ask me what you want to ask." Arthur then laid his head down on her l.a.p while Jemma was sitting on his bed and smiled comfortably.

"Hah, I feel so comfortable here, now ask away."

"Oh, yes I'll start." Jemma took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down and started asking Arthur questions. She was asking a lot of questions like how should they approach someone who has the centipede virus or how should they start for finding a solution to the self destructive elements in the virus, how extremis works and some reactions of Extremis and its different powers, Arthur tried to give her detailed answers as these answers may help in solving the problems. But he gave vague answers to some questions like how did his body stabilize the Extremis virus.

Unknowingly, the two chatted for a long time first about the virus, then slowly their conversation veered towards general topics and finally they talked about their likes, dislikes, hobbies and other things about themselves. They got to know each other better.

"Ah, it's almost morning already, I… I have to go back to rest. Thank you for your help today." Jemma whispered.

"Your welcome anytime." Arthur replied.

"I have to say that lying on your l.a.p was very comfortable, this was my first time lying on a woman's l.a.p, it felt good."

"Really?…" Jemma asked with an unbelieving look on her face.

"It is true."

"Well, then I'll go back to room to rest so good night!"

When Jemma stood up and was leaving his room, Arthur suddenly said: "When you are alone with me, try to wear skirts or shorts. Your legs are really beautiful and It would be a pity to hide them."

"I, I'll try." Jemma said, then opened the door and went out.

The next day, Arthur woke up around noon due to his night meeting. When he came out, he saw Skye with her laptop on the sofa, and Jemma and Fitz would probably be in the labs. Those two were true hardcore scientists, in fact both of them would've made a good match. Indeed in the canon the two had feelings for each other and were even in a relationship together, but now… it was obviously not possible!

Because of him existing now, a lot of things will naturally change.

"Something just came up." Coulson suddendly called out loudly.

" At Peru, we found another 084."

"What is 084?" Skye curiously asked.

"084 represents anything of unknown origin, much like you and Arthur." Coulson said.

Well figuratively speaking, Skye and Arthur really do have unknown origins. As for Skye, her identity was unknown with no records of her parents found in public, otherwise she won't come to SHIELD to investigate her own origin.

"What was the 084 found last time?" Arthur asked casually.

"An hammer that couldn't be lifted!"

After hearing this Arthur immediately knew what it was. It should be the hammer of the God of Thunder, Thor. When the God of Thunder first came to Earth or was banished to Earth, the hammer was sent with him. At that time, Coulson was responsible for its investigation.

Peru, in a dense forest.

As 'The Bus' landed they soon boarded an off-road vehicle, their entire group soon came to a jungle to reach an archaeological excavation site across.

When everyone got out of the car, May said something to Coulson and drove away.

Coulson, Skye, Arthur and others crossed the jungle and came to a pyramid-like building. At this time, one person dressed in SHIELD agent clothes came out from inside the Incan temple, he must be the person in charge here, Coulson went to talk with him, Arthur then whispered to Skye, Jemma, Fitz:"Try to be careful here, I don't think it is safe?"

"I heard that there is a rebel army here, and a war is going on." Fitz said with some fear.

"In short, pay attention to your surroundings and try to stay with me." Arthur reminded me them.

Although this was an powerful weapon, it had some defects so it was not practical to have a fallout with SHIELD for just this object. He did not intend to leave SHIELD right now, at least not until Skye awakens her Inhuman ability.

So, after looking at it a bit, he left the temple.

His space abilities level was still 1 so he can only visit one set world every 30 days that too only for 12 hours. He really needs to devour more abilities to increase its level.

The road to become a supremely powerful king is still far....
