The Chronicles Of Elijah - Chapter 22

Elijah gazed upon the Red room Academy with interest , looked at his watch and thought :’it’s time .’

He came here to take the best naturally talented spy , Natasha Romanoff. He has been coming here since a week while sending psychic message to Natasha on the way she could take to escape . As she is dying to get away from the hellhole known as the red room . She found solace in the voice inside her head .

Elijah kept focusing on the red room Academy and touched his wrist device what followed was the sound of explosion that quacked the the Academy surrounding and the platoon next to it responsible for its protection. After few minutes a petite redheaded twelve years old could be seen running through the snowy woods of the Maryina Horka forest with a bloody knife in her hand and wounds on her body .

Elijah confirmed that this is the girl he was looking for and approached her stealthily.

“You managed to escape , you didn’t disappoint me . ” Said Elijah apathetically.

The young girl startled by the voice looked back with the knife in her hand ready to fight for her freedom. She found the white haired young man standing behind her .

“You have the same voice as the voice in my head ” Natasha

“Indeed”-Elijah

“Please help me Mister .” Said Natasha weakly while dropping the knife as her consciousness faded due the blood loss .

Elijah looked at the pitiful young girl and sighed :’ she is like i was in my last life .’

The body of young girl started to float and both Elijah and the body disappeared.

Elijah arrived at the base and put Natasha in a healing chamber . He turned to Eve who materialised next to him :” I need several scans of her brain . I need to delete some of the brainwashing they ingrained in her . Her resolve is strong , it didn’t affect her as much as the other .”

“Acknowledged sir . Is this why you’ve taken her sir? “-Eve

” Yes and No . She is the most naturally gifted girl in espionage. When trained she will be the head of our intelligence gathering operation . ” -Elijah

“Acknowledged sir .” -Eve

Both Eve and Elijah started working on Natasha ‘s brain , Elijah wiped out all the russian nationalism doctrines and healed her mind with his Phoenix powers .

——

The young girl woke up the next morning with all her wounds healed . She looked around . The glass windows , the holographic screens , the floating beds . It was all new to her . She remembered the white haired man , the owner of the smooth voice .

Her exploring of surrounding was interrupted by Eve who startled the redhead. “Come with me Miss Romanoff.”

The young girl nodded and followed the holographic projection . They arrived at Elijah’s office . He looked up at the two and nodded to Eve who disappeared.

“Sit down Natasha .”-Elijah

The young girl nodded and sat down , she was a bit tensed and afraid.

” congratulations, you managed to escape the red room . “-Elijah

“Why did you help me mister ? What do you need from me ?” Said Natasha in a mȧturė way unbefitting of a 12 year old .

” An investment of sorts . What do you wanna do when you grow up ?”-Elijah

” A ballerina but i don’t think i will be able to .” Said Natasha sadly

” yes you won’t be able to , you escaped from the red room . They will be looking for you . What needs to happens so you can be a ballerina ? ” -Elijah

“The red room has to be destroyed ” said Natasha seriously

Elijah smiled lightly and stood up and motioned to Natasha to stood next to him while looking through the window .

” Natasha you see this universe is vast and there exist powerful people that can wipe out life on planet . If a normal person wants to live freely what does he needs to do ? ” Elijah

Natasha thought for a while and said with resolve :” he needs to be strong mister .”

Elijah dropped to Natasha eye level and with his usual apathetic face asked :” and you , do you want to be strong ? ”

Natasha clenched her fists and confirmed her determination wanting revenge on the red room .

Elijah began training Natasha in all form of combat and espionage while also continuing her schooling. Her determination never wavered , she absorbed everything that Elijah taught her . Elijah found that this lifestyle is unhealthy for a child so he got to reading books on child raising and as Natasha was doing her training he decided to have a surprise for her .

“Natasha come here .”-Elijah

Natasha stopped what she was doing and ran to Elijah , despite his apathetic look , he took care of her , fed her , taught her and trained her , she was happy .

“Yes Mister Elijah ?” -Natasha

“Come with me .” Elijah opened a portal to his mansion in New york and walked through while Natasha followed .

On the other side , Elijah went to the big gym in his mansion followed by the young girl .

Inside the gym was a young blonde woman in ballerina clothes .

“This is Miss Evdokimova . She will be you ballet teacher 2 times a week . ” -Elijah

Natasha almost burst into tears with happiness, she ran to Elijah and hugged him while repeating:”thank you , thank you.”

Elijah patted her head then left her to enjoy her ballet lessons.

Days and months flied by and Elijah spent his time taking care of Natasha while also training her .

2 years has flown by since the day he saved her . Today is the last day of her training. Elijah has grown fond of the young girl , he never had a sister , Natasha occupied that place , she was adorable and deadly , cute and strong . A 14 years old , now she grown into a beautiful teenager , the healthy lifestyle that Elijah imposed on her has received its results , the mystical water in Inselheim rendered her skin almost as white as Elijah’s . Her hair is long and red .

Today Elijah was preparing one more ȧssurance of Natasha’s safety .

“Natasha join me in my lab .” Elijah’s voice echoed in Natasha’s room . The young girl dressed up and headed to the lab .

In the lab , some androids were preparing a sort of a tub while Elijah was looking through some readings in his holographic computer .

“Brother , what do you need ? ” Natasha started calling Elijah brother after he brought her a ballet teacher . Elijah found no problem with that and let her call him so while inwardly being happy at having a sibling .

“Do you remember what you learned about Captain America Serum ?”asked Elijah

“Yes , it was a serum that enhanced all bodily functions creating a superhuman . It was created by Dr.Eskrine . And since his death numerous attempts were made to recreate it but to no avail .” Natasha

“Yes my dear while the hidden answer is i recreated something similar when i was 13 and after that created several different serums . You training is over , you learned everything there is to learn . Now you will receive an upgrade to your body .”Elijah

Natasha thought for a while and said :” but won’t i be bulky like captain America , as I remember he was skinny before the procedure and after it he became a muscle mass . ”

” you don’t have to worry. My serum will compact your muscles creating only pink muscles . And this serum was specially made for you , to increase you agility and dexterity while also maintaining a superhuman average strength.”- Elijah

Natasha nodded and got ready for the procedure . She entered the tub and the serum administration begun . She felt a bit uncomfortable by the pain as if numerous needles were pricking her muscles . The procedure to transform red and white muscles to pink muscles is a bit painful. Elijah chose this age to perform the procedure on her so she can grow in her strength steadily.

The operation ended and Natasha walked from the tub feeling a bit mentally tired as the pain was uncomfortable but her resolve was strong so she didn’t falter . She felt more powerful and faster . She felt her punch could pack quite the strength .

“You have one week to grow used to you strength after that you will have the mission .” -Elijah

Natasha nodded seriously while clenching her fist reminding herself that her revenge is soon coming .
