....
"Fuck… me," he muttered, realizing that the opportunity was gone. There was no way he could catch up.
Unexpectedly, the beautiful woman sitting in front of him seemed to take it literally as she stood up and approached him, taking his word as command.
Kilgrave was extremely angry right and urgently needed something to vent. Seeing the reluctant woman, his violent urges could not be suppressed at all.
He bent the woman right over the husband, lifted her skirt and slapped her butt heavily.
"What are you doing?!" Her husband shouted at this moment, looking completely enraged. He actually stood up and directly punched Kilgrave right in the face, making him fall.
"Stop!" Kilgrave ordered. But contrary to his expectations, the guy didn't stop at all as he continued to rain down punches at him.
"Everyone! Stop him!"
Suddenly everyone stood up and began pulling the guy off of Kilgrave.
He slowly stood up and dusted off suit. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"You must be deaf right? My powers don't work on deaf people," he muttered, more to himself than to the guy who can't hear.
"Everyone, hold him down and gag him."
"Now, beat him up."
Kilgrave was absolutely furious right now. For such a long time, he hadn't been disrespected like this. For this reason, he decided that everyone in here was going to die.
'But before that, I need to have some fun,' he thought, looking at the man being beaten up, still looking back at his lovely wife.
Suddenly, a tall girl pushed through the crowd and stomped on the man's head. The man just happened to turn his head due to another kick, narrowly avoiding the hit.
And it was a good thing that he did, because—
BOOM
In the next, the whole room shook as the girl's kick directly broke through the tiles, sending out shards everywhere.
Unaffected, the girl was about to stomp again.
"Stop," Kilgrave ordered, preventing her from killing the man. That would not be fun enough. Since his command wasn't specific, everyone else stopped beating the man too. But Kilgrave's attention was preoccupied by the girl.
For a moment, Kilgrave was really unable to believe it.
This girl... might be like him! Meaning she might also have super powers!
"You. Punch the floor."
And so Jessica did, creating another small crater in the floor. But Jessica's fist was still completely intact.
"It's true!" Kilgrave threw his head back and actually laughed out aloud. He was so happy right now! He longer cared about the fucking Osborne!
While he had mind control powers, he was still a complete mortal after all. If someone managed to take him by surprise, he had no means to protect him, and if he had powerful opponents like Osborne, he seriously lacked the muscle.
This has been severely limiting his range of activities for a long time. But no more. Now, he had his own weapon and shield.
"What's your name?" He asked seriously.
"Jessica. Jessica Jones."
"Alright Jessica, jump."
Jessica complied, jumping several feet, high, almost reaching the ceiling.
"Take off your jacket."
"Roll on the ground."
Kilgrave gave her several commands, escalating the difficulty each time. And with each command, his control over her grew stronger. Finally, after several more commands, Kilgrave nodded in satisfaction.
"Haha, nice. Do exactly as I say from now on." Kilgrave couldn't stop smiling, looking at his new toy.
"Come here," he ordered.
Kilgrave grabbed her chin, looking at the girl closely. Dark brown hair, hazel eyes, and curvy body that could fill up her tall frame, the girl was quite beautiful.
His loins stirred. Alright, now he was completely in the mood.
Since everyone except the girl is going to die anyway, Kilgrave might as well enjoy himself fully before sending them off.
"You, you, and you. Come over as well. Rest, keep holding the man down and make way.
Kilgrave has grown a habit of having multiple women serve him at once so selected three more good looking girls from the crowd to start the fun.
Still feeling the throbbing in his cheek due to the punch, Kilgrave glanced at the married woman. "Let's start with you."
Then, under the tortured gaze of the deaf man, who was also gagged, Kilgrave prepared to rape the woman.
-Snap-
But the husband, who had been forced to watch until now, burst out with one last struggle and actually managed to free one hand.
And with that hand, he actually pulled out a gun, aiming it right at Kilgrave.
BANG
There was a gun shot and Kilgrave, who was still focused on the wife, was completely frightened as blood spattered on his face.
There was a hole in the neck of the wife.
It turned out that the crowd had managed to hold the man down once again, deviating his aim.
"No!"
The man's scream was completely muffled by the cloth. Unfortunately, the same could be said about the gunshot.
"Kill him first," Kilgrave ordered, completely furious at the bastard who didn't know his own place.
Fatal hits rained down on the poor man. But while kicking him, people's reactions were varied. Some were panicked, some were crying, some were asking Kilgrave to not do this. The noise only increased when the man seemed to be dead.
"Everyone, keep your mouth shut until I say otherwise," he ordered in annoyance.
Looking at the dead wife, Kilgrave's heart was still palpating, knowing that it could have been him.
He realized that he had gotten too drunk on his powers.
"You. Protect me from every danger from now on," he ordered Jessica, now valuing her even more.
Now, all he has to do is order everyone to stop breathing and leave this place quickly.
But before he could give the order, the door, which had been completely locked, was broken through and dense spider webs were shot at him, specifically targeting his face.
"Stop him!"
Kilgrave, who was literally caught with pants down, jumped in fright, almost shouting the command instinctually. But he knew that it was already too late.
But before he could even comprehend the situation, a hand stretched out in front of him, blocking the webs.
??
Will looked at the girl who had suddenly appeared in his way. He remembered her, she was Patricia's sister.
'How the fuck?' Looking at her nonchalantly pulling the web off her hand, Will was a bit dumbfounded.
The launching power of his web can be adjusted based on how tightly he clenches his fingers when shooting the web.
And just now, it was close to the max intensity. He not only intended to shut Kilgrave's mouth with that web but also deliver a good concussion and break a few bones along the way too.
But even then, the girl was able to somehow block it.
'Maybe, the webshooter's power is too low.'
"Iris, execute plan B," Wil said immediately.
A screeching sound reverberated throughout the classroom, making everything else inaudible.
Web fluid to the mouth should have done the trick. But since failure was not an option, Will had still made several arrangements before coming here.
First he had to seal his suit completely, making sure no air could leak in so that he himself would be affected by Kilgrave's pheromone.
Then he stole several louder speakers from the auditorium and set them up in front of the door.
He could have made more preparation but then he heard the gunshot, after which he could not delay anymore.
Now it seems that he was right to be cautious.
"Kill him!" Kilgrave yelled, but no one could hear it at all, everyone covering their ears due to the screeching sound.
But apparently, this did not apply to Patricia's sister as she closed the distance in a handful of long, predatory strides, her fist arcing toward his face with lethal precision.
Will's reflexes flared; one arm snapped up to intercept the strike, the other still aimed firmly towards Kilgrave's mouth.
A heartbeat later, an overwhelming force surged through his guard — raw power channeled into bone and muscle — catching him completely unprepared.
The impact tore through his balance, hurling him backward several meters before he stabilized his hoverboard.
Will shook his head, which was still ringing.
He caught the punch but unable to stop the momentum, his own hand had hit his face.
"What the fuck?!"
Superstrength?! Who is this girl?!
Will recalled a conversation Harry had with Patricia.
"This is my sister Jessica."
Jessica…
In an instant, the realization dawned on him.
Jessica Jones!
'But how?!'
He hadn't read any comic settings in which she had a sister named Patricia.
'Wait, there was a tv series too!' Will realized, vaguely remembering that there was Jessica Jones Tv series that he hadn't bothered to watch.
This world is a mix of different types of Marvel stories. Obviously, there are things that he hadn't read or seen and it was now coming to bite him in the ass.
Now the problem is, if that's indeed Jessica Jones, then he is really fucked.
Will didn't have the luxury curse his luck as Jessica had reached him again by the time he stabilized himself.
But this time, Will was prepared. He dodged her superfast punch and countered with an upper cut that hit her with a force that left the ground.
Unfortunately, that didn't seem to hurt as much since while still in air, she delivered an impossible, completely clumsy kick at his midsection.
Worse, the kick still had a force that didn't seem to follow the laws of physics at all.
"Gah—"
The breath was knocked out of his mouth from impact as he crashed into the wall beside them.
While his Goblin Armor does enhance strength using Bioelectricity, it is still far from the force of nature that is Jessica Jones.
'This won't do. I really need to stop Kilgrave first,' he realized. But in this brief moment when Will was trying to save himself, the rat had hidden behind civilians, blocking his aim.
He didn't have the time to thing more as he had to fly sideways just in time to avoid the next punch that put a hole in the wall.
But when she still punched in the same pattern the next time, he caught her wrist, gripped her neck with the other hand and used her momentum to slam her into the ground with all his might in one fluid motion.
Despite all her overpowered abilities, this version of Jessica doesn't seem to know how to fight at all. While her actions are fast, they are completely basic and predictable, making it possible for Will to at least put up a fight.
After that grand slam, Will tried to fly away, towards Kilgrave, but Jessica, who was not fazed at all, and gripped his arm, preventing him to leaving.
She pulled herself up through his hand and then slammed him against the wall, cornering him. And Will realized that if he didn't deal with Jessica first, she might actually kill him.
Now, her punches were becoming much faster and smooth and she was even mixing in kicks, making it difficult for Will to dodge and block.
'She's adapting fast.' Will realized, much to his horror. Jessica powers not only included strength and speed, but also reflexes.
Had Will not had the assistance of the Hoverboard, making his movements fast and smooth, he would long have been smashed into a meat paste.
'Alright, heavy hitting it is.'
Will got serious, focusing on taking down Jessica first. He didn't want to hurt her but the situation left him with no choice.
His chest, hand, and face were still hurting the two hits he had received. And those hits weren't even half the strength of the ones he was facing now.
Will suddenly dodged and flew in Kilgrave's direction, making a hand gesture. In response, the green light emitting beneath the hoverboard began to intensify, the energy turbines, rotating faster.
As Jessica followed, his aim his webshooter at her face.
Stick!
Will shot three webs in rapid succession.
One at her face, blocking her vision, one at her feet, disrupting her movements and then one at her chest, pulling her forward with all his might.
At the same time, his hoverboard released the energy it had charged, propelling him towards Jessica with incredible force. Will bent his knee and drove it straight into Jessica's gut.
BAAM
This was the most he could do while still being non-fatal. Otherwise, the knee could have been aimed at her neck or he could have replaced the knee with a retractable blade that can pop out of the hoverboard.
Jessica was thrown back like a rag doll, grimacing in pain and Will used this opportunity to cover her in web, making sure she can't break loose immediately.
He then pushed through the crowd, ready to shoot the Kilgrave the fucker down. But, he had to stop.
Because he saw the short and scrawny man hiding behind a girl, holding a gun to her head.
'Seriously?!'
Kilgrave must have assumed that Will was one of those 'good guys' who can be stopped by taking hostages. But Will doesn't care about risking one or two lives at all if it means ending this loser.
It's just that… the girl happened to be Jessica's sister, Patricia Walker.
"What... great luck." Words couldn't describe how irate and frustrated Will currently was. He had thought it would a matter of seconds, but here we are.
Jessica Fucking Jones! Of all the places she could be, why did she have to here?!
How to say it? When Kilgrave discovered Jessica's powers, he thought he had found a treasure. Well, Will is not much different. He also wanted to recruit Jessica.
It's just that he is not as tasteless as Kilgrave and wants Jessica to follow him willingly. That means he needs to save Patricia.
The noise from the speakers was still deafening. But Will was aware that people had started to appear behind him.
Before taking action, he had sealed both sides of the corridor with webs to prevent interruption. Now it seems that they have finally managed to break through.
"Time for Plan C."
The turbine of his hoverboard started to rotate faster. But instead increasing his speed, the energy began to be transferred to his launcher.
....
"Time to escape." When Kilgrave saw more people appearing, he also knew that the situation was fucked up. He can't take control over the school at the same time. After all, there was a range limit of his pheromones.
There was also an armored man who can shoot projectiles and who is after him for some reason, probably Osborn's guardian.
In a second, he made the decision to cut his losses. He has ordered everyone to keep their mouths shut. So at least for 12 hours, they can't speak a word.
Later, he can directly manipulate the police and erase all evidence. Right now, what matters is escape alive and not escalate this matter further, so that he can clean up easily.
Hiding behind Pratricia, Kilgrave approached Jessica, who had had already almost freed herself. "Protect me and take me out of here!" He yelled in her ear.
While still holding the blonde girl hostage, he quickly approached the window.
Jessica's eyes were on her sister, but her body still faithfully executed the command. She broke the window and picked him up, shielding him from the Armored guy's line of fire.
Kilgrave also noticed this.
"So, you know her?" He asked. "Then... you're going to love this."
He pushed the blonde girl forward, causing the masked man to quickly fly towards her.
At this moment, a sinister smile flashed across Kilgrave's lips as he emptied the magazine on the two of them. The first one hit the girl while the rest hit the man who was shielding her.
"Hmmm! Hmmmmm!" Jessica screamed desperately while Will and Patricia were hit. But both her body and mouth could not be used at all.
"Take me away! Quick." Kilgrave yelled into Jessica's ear as he saw the man fall down with the girl.
In the next second, a laser beam hit Kilgrave in the mouth, spattering blood and teeth everywhere. It was safe to say that Kilgrave would stay down for a while.
Two more laser beams hit Jessica's legs, making her immobile.
....
"Fucker, you really pissed me off."
Lowering his launcher, Will got up with a slight groan. This suit was still a prototype, and so while it managed to block the .45 ACP, it still hurt.
This was shooting mode II: Laser beam, similar to the Green Goblin's laser.
He checked on Kilgrave, only to find that the bastard was going to die soon. And even if he was somehow saved, he might never speak again.
Voice is an equally important component of Kilgrave's ability. Without his clear voice articulating the command, the pheromones are useless. Meaning, Will might not be able to recreate Kilgrave's ability.
This was the reason he hadn't used this thing before. It's too powerful.
It didn't help that he only had a few shots of this thing. If he missed or hit Jessica's eye or heart, it would have been problematic.
But Will didn't regret it. Kilgrave turned out to be too lucky. If he was left with a chance to make a comeback, Will would have only had himself to blame.
With his mouth itself gone, would at least not be a threat again when Will takes him back. If he manages to stay alive, that is.
"Hmm… hmmm."
Jessica was trying in vain to rescue Kilgrave, but her eyes darting back Patricia, tear dripping.
Will quickly checked Patricia's injuries. She had a gunshot wound to her lower back. The bullet did not hit the spine but it might have reached the kidney, which is also fatal if she didn't get surgery immediately.
Patricia seemed to be lucid right now as she was breathing quickly, whimpering sounds escaping her throat.
But even then, her eyes were looking at Jessica, who was covering Kilgrave's blood.
"Stay still. Keep breathing and keep your eyes open," said Will as he accessed the injuries. Yep, the bullet had indeed grazed the kidney. Immediate treatment was needed.
Will sealed the wound with webs and applied gentle compression while also propping her up legs to promote blood circulation.
He then called in his glider through the open window. The hoverboard was already out of fuel, thanks to the laser.
With practiced ease, he guided the hoverboard into the recessed docking slot at the Glider's center.
It slid into place with a satisfying click, automatically interlocking as the two machines became one.
He aimed it at Jessica and let the ropes of web cum fly. This glider had a higher web fluid capacity and could shoot thicker, much stronger webs which were completely capable of binding a weakened Jessica.
With that done, he finally approached Kilgrave, who was struggling to breathe, his blood flowing freely.
"NYPD! Freeze!"
"Put your hands behind your back and lie down!"
'Are you serious?'
Will couldn't believe the timing of the Police.
He was really pissed now, so he wasn't in the mood to explain things to the police. As Will stood up, a ball was rolled out towards the Police which they failed to notice amidst the chaos.
The stun grade exploded, and Will escaped on his Glider with Patricia, Jessica, and Kilgrave.
A few seconds later, he was high in the sky, flying at top speed with Patricia in arms. Dangling below his glider were two web cocoons with only their noses exposed.
"Next time, I'm bringing a lot of sedatives," he swore, his whole body now aching due to the fight. The amount of trouble he went through just because of Jessica…
It's a good thing that she didn't go all out. Or rather, she has no idea how to. Kilgrave ordered her to kill him and what does she do? Punches him in the face with not even her full power.
Along with sedatives, he has also gotten a few more inspirations.
A healing serum, or some kind of nice first aid equipment that can contain the injuries till treatment. Just now, he was really helpless when Patricia was shot.
He also needs to train his AI Iris more.
He could teach it more medical knowledge so that it can analyse wounds and diseases and give treatment steps.
He could also teach it to read and predict the opponent's movement patterns and device targeted fighting sequences, etc.
Right now, his AI is the best normal geniuses can make. He needs to take it a step further.
While Will was still thinking of new things to add in his suit, he had already arrived at his company.
Logging into the system from a distance, he directly by-passed the security and flew straight into Helen's lab through the secret passage.
But, the Doctor in question was nowhere to be seen.
"Helen?! Where are you?!"
Will was suddenly not so calm. Why did Kilgrave come specifically for him? Was his company also attacked at the same time?
He checked the bedroom and found it empty. Without thinking, he quickly rushed into the bathroom, only to find her wiping herself with a towel, completely naked and wet.
Will was still completely suited in Light Elf Armor. Naturally, Helen shrieked, picking up the hair drying and aiming it at him like a gun.
"Heyheyhey! It's me!"
Will quickly removed his helmet and raised his hands in surrender.
"Will?! What are you wearing?! And what… happened to your face?!"
"My face?"
Will looked at the nearby mirror and cursed. That secondhand punch he received from Jessica had bruised his left eye completely.
He had thought only his left lens was malfunctioning, turns out it was the eye too.
"I was actually attacked. I just somehow thought that you might have been too so I barged in," he explained concisely, turning to leave.
"Throw on a bathrobe and come out quickly, there's an emergency."
Helen got serious, doing exactly that. "How were you attacked?! Is there any serious injury?!"
"I'm fine. But I brought a girl with me who needs treatment. A gunshot to the back. The kidney might be grazed."
"Alright, let go," said Helen walking over while tying her bathrobe.
"Also, I really liked the tattoo above your butt. It's a really erotic pattern," Will added while walking.
Helen closed her eyes in shame. "It was a stupid bet in college."
