The Chronicles Of Elijah - Chapter 51

Inside a conference room in the base of Inselheim, Elijah could be seen sitting accompanied by Natasha , Eliana , Jean and Banner.

They were having a meeting to discuss various topics.

Elijah:” Let the meeting begin. Jean, please you can start.”

Jean :” The Hospital is doing fine, everything is going well. After the battle of New York and the relief work we offered has created a strong reputation to our services. We are still the leading hospital in curing several diseases as well as limb regeneration and plastic surgery.

But as your father will retire, i will have more workload as director of the hospital.”

Elijah nodded and said :” Good, Choose someone you can trust and nurture him to reduce your work load. Eliana please your turn.”

Eliana, the head of security in the Müller family as well as the one who is mostly responsible for executing Elijah’s wishes and Natasha’s right hand.

She said:” Sir, after the clean up we did to the company, no one dared to send spy in our midst. From time to time, there are those who try to poach our scientist or those who try to harm your parents but they are dealt with by the girls.

Remnants of HYDRA were also dealt with except to one you asked us to leave alive but they are monitored.

On the inhuman side, Jiaying has become a bit more aggressive, It is said that she wants to hunt S.H.I.E.L.D. agents as a revenger for taking her daughter.”

Elijah :” Hmm alright, I think it’s about time we turned Ms Johnson into an inhuman.”

Both Natasha and Eliana nodded. They were aware of Elijah’s plan to turn Skye into an inhuman and let her tale over the inhuman community in the afterlife.

Elijah :” Natasha your turn.”

Natasha:” Nothing really new. S.H.I.E.L.D is turning very well. With new training and directives, they became more efficient. They indexed all the aliens living on earth. Another department was responsible for the mutants. Although there is a bit of friction between the government and the Mutant community but for now we can avoid any human-mutant war. Magneto is still ruling Genosha that is populated by mutants , you did well in taking the boost that Apocalypse gave him otherwise he would be really able to destroy earth specially with his terroristic tendencies .Other people with power of differ sources were also investigated. From those we recruited some who i thought could help the agency.

As for Coulson’s team, after debriefing them about the mission in Xandar, i commended them for their work and send them back to duty. Nova Prime has called me in an official capacity to form an alliance, we’re still discussing the details.”

Elijah:” Good, this is the first and crucial step for S.H.I.E.L.D . We will be sending more teams to space to explore and learn.

Eliana, are you still in contact with Charles Xavier?”

Eliana:” Yes sir, after he has accepted our cooperation, several mutants work for Haven industries. Some of them are really grateful as they have trouble finding a job if they are identified as a mutant.”

Elijah:” Good , Natasha and Eliana , i need you to try and recruit some mutants to S.H.I.E.L.D but only the one with adequate powers .” After getting a nod in response, Elijah continued :” As you are all aware, my mother wants to retire and i need to find a new CEO , any suggestions?”

Eliana stood up and presented several names as suggestions and a discussion began on who could be the next CEO.

Natasha:” Murdock could be good as his scholarship came from us. But he’s a bit like Steve Rogers, it could be detrimental in making difficult decisions nonetheless he’s an intelligent lawyer. His nightly activities however are a bit disturbing.”

Elijah nodded in understanding while Banner decided to give his opinion:” This mutant girl by the name of Sage. She’s a diamond in the rough. Despite being so young, she has the ability of a supercomputer. A bit of emotional interaction training and she could be the most suitable CEO.”

All the present people looked over the file of Sage. She’s a 19 year old mutant and her mind works like a supercomputer with limitless storage capacity. She also great analytical abilities as well as the ability to multi task. Elijah could see the similarities between his mind and hers. She also has minor telepathic powers.

The girl was identified as a mutant by Cerebro but she always escaped the X-men grasp using her wits and powers. She probably has trust issue as she is an orphan and lived in the streets for a while.

Eliana:” Yes that’s why i included her despite her age. She could be perfect . We could train her in all knowledge regarding business management then she could shadow Ms.Müller to learn how to interact with other people.”

Natasha looked at the girl in the holograms . She has blue eyes and brown short hair.

Natasha:” Hmm , yes but she will need some real work.”

Elijah nodded and asked :” Everyone is voting for her?”

Everyone nodded and Elijah said:” Good . Now, Eliana will be responsible with bringing her in. Who would like to talk to her first ?”

Natasha:” I’ll handle her , she will a part of our family . I’ll be responsible for her then i’ll send her to Bruce to learn. ”

-Queens-

A girl could be seen running away from her pursuers. The girl had distinct beautiful blue eyes. She is the mutant by the name of Sage.

She was an orphan . One day she triggered her abilities leading her to realise she is a mutant when her mind began working at high speed and she found herself able to connect with computers as well as remembering anything she laid eyes upon.

Sage was involved with some small thieves gang and used her abilities to try and steal money from ATM or hack systems to transfer money to her account but someone discovered her abilities and they hired her to steal some data from Stark’s servers. Her attempt was unsuccessful and she was almost caught but her employers blamed her and tried to kidnap her. She escaped using her wits and ran through the streets of Queens. Unfortunately, now she is surrounded by armed thugs that worked for her previous employer.

Thug #1:” we got her now . Call the boss.”

Thug #2 took his phone and called his boss. Sage was looking around and thinking fast about a way to escape without getting a bullet. Then suddenly the thugs began dropping like flies dead on the ground.

Sage wanted to run but her analytical ability told her the probability her survival if she stays is very high.

A smooth voice then drifted in the dark :” Sage , you’ve been a naughty girl.”

Eliana appeared in front of Sage from the shadows.

Sage :” who are you ?”

Eliana smiled and said:” Follow me if you want to live.”

She then began walking out. Sage stood still for a while before she followed. She felt safe in the company of the woman who just rescued her from unknown consequences.
