Fuck... Just purely: fuck...
I had ssed up so bad by kissing her to stop her from ntally crashing. Excuses could be used for the situation, like: I just finished killing a man, or, I was adjusting to the new level of intelligence... But they were all flaccid reasons. Truth is, I got carried away in an inappropriate mont.
Now, well, mine and Susan's interactions were completely awkward. She blushed whenever she saw and ducked around corners and such. I, well, I was just as bad... Completely nervous and guilty. I was burying my head into work to cope, but it was still weighing heavily on my mind.
Talking about work though, definitely not trying to dodge my feelings or whatever... The negotiations for brand deals and such for the Hub world was going swimmingly. Picard, Hope and Hayley had so far secured deals with Adidas, Volkswagen, Nike, General Electric, Rheintall, Space X, Tesla; under advisent from , BlackRock, Vanguard, Microsoft, Apple, hundreds of banks and thousands of smaller companies that made up the din of daily household goods. Most of these deals were lopsided, the companies and figures paying huge quantities of money to get in on what they understood to be a revolutionary concept.
These weren't the most important companies to work with us though. Stark Industries was going to purchase a large skyscraper in the Japanese District to set up displays and also showcase products, I knew they would wish to switch their HQ to being inside the Hub once they were able to get their bearings on the conditions inside. Wayne Enterprises was also wishing to mobilise so funds to purchase a building and also invest into these said districts. To bait them in I promised so discounts for purchasing their first building, giving them the opportunity to make it big with their speculation was correct.
So far the company had received a little over 23 Billion USD, with Wayne Enterprises and Stark Industries set to contribute a further 40 Billion USD combined in a bid to secure certain portions of the Hub city. Bruce was most likely astounded by the Hub that was now accessible for view to the public. Tony, well, his interest was questionable... But it most likely had more to do with the fact that he was wanting to diversify his company's portfolio away from arms-dealing and weapons manufacturing. Speaking on that, he had recently shown himself as Iron Man, his grandstanding on television setting off the US Governnt and many other companies around the world. He had wiped out large swathes of the terrorists that had held him captive and was now trying to shift away from warfare entirely... Not that Shaw would like that.
With this money secured, getting away from Super Hero topic, I was now actively moving to purchase Twitch in full. Niklaus, Itachi and Elijah were also securing this purchase by getting dirt on other companies that may want to buy it out from under us, like LexCorp. They had shown so promising results, so today I would formally et with the Twitch board to confirm the purchase.
With , I would be taking Data, Uchiha Shinobi of Jōnin level and Susan... All of them would be dressed in business clothing, including myself, except for Susan who left a not for saying she would choose a dress to wear for the eting. Just thinking about the awkwardness and her in a dress made feel weird inside.
That aside, in the few days that this had all happened and since Reed had died construction teams had begun working on the Uchiha land to add more buildings and anities. Included in this construction was the buying of land on the opposing side of the HQ, parallel and equidistant from Yggdrasil Interactive's main building. On this land was another 'village' of mansions and varying houses... This would be the land on which the Uzumaki would live and thrive on.
"Freya, the car is ready." An Uchiha stepped into the room and whisked from my thoughts in tow.
"Okay, I'm coming now." I stood up from behind my desk, a crisp looking Oblique Suit of deep crimson with a light red tie with white undershirt.
Following the Uchiha down the stairs I was t with the refined sleek business-style haircut of Data and a stock-standard suit. The Uchiha all looked like Yakuza from Japan, many of them with slick black hair tied behind their head or tied to make it easier for them to fight. many had scars, so were slouching a little in waiting for ... But most of all, they were attentive to their surroundings.
What stunned to my core however was the appearance of Susan, the stunning blonde resembling a burgeoning rose-bud that had fully co into flower. Her blonde hair tumbled gracefully and fluffily over her right shoulder as so tactful makeup was placed in just the right amount to accentuate the already abnormal beauty she held. Lipstick of a similar disposition graced her luscious lips as her bright blue eyes zoned onto , a small blush flushing through her cheeks as she scanned up and down.
Looking away from she allowed a chance to peruse at her dress and let tell you, the word 'stunning' was far below her level of style. Her dress was made entirely of light blues and pale yellow flower patterns, hugging her figure but also comfortably hanging half way down her legs. Three layers of soft silken material made the silhouette of said dress before ending in vaguely translucent material at the hemline. The waist line and bodice had a fairly standard design to it that made the dress seem much more modest than fancier dresses may have been. Sleeves of the sa thin material used in the hemline ended mid-way down her arm and exposed the supple white skin below in a tantalising fashion that lead one to guess as to what was further beyond that exposure of skin. Finally, the neckline was conservative once more, ending just below the clavicle with flower pattern sown into the seems.
To say I payed too much attention to this would be an utter waste of ti as she was worth every mont that I dedicated this sight to my mind... In my opinion.
Being guided down the stairs the Uchiha opened the main doors, so checking the surroundings outside as Data nodded towards . This version of data was from after TNG as a series however, thus he recognised mine and Susan's tension, deciding to be guided away by an Uchiha.
Walking up beside Susan she purposefully maintained a composed expression, looking away enough to give the impression that she was still weirded out by my act the other day... At the sa ti however, she was glancing at from the corner of her eyes and twirling her finger in her hair. They were obvious signs she liked , but I didn't wish to push boundaries too far since I had created this entire atmosphere simply by having bad timing in a mont of extre importance for her.
This didn't stop from looking at her though with obvious interest, a faint blush spreading over her face. Embarrassnt and attraction spread through her emotional aura also, stronger than most other emotions... Still, the other emotions were present and they combined into an image of confusion and hesitance.
'I'm over thinking things...'
"You look truly beautiful Susan... Or would you like to call you Sue?"
Her emotions swirled, swooned and cried all at once. The nickna brought so sour feelings but the complint seed to nullify them almost entirely as a burst of pinkish-red emotion swirled; from what I could feel, it was a strong emotion of embarrassnt and excitent mixed with interest.
She opened her mouth then closed it for a second before opening it once more. "I-I was actually thinking of changing my na... I don't w-want to be reminded of the nickna 'he' used." The desire from her was strong and she was feeling nervous about the decision, more specifically about how I would react.
Pressing deeper into the feeling I found that she was actually desperately trying to restart her life and wanted a complete fresh slate. The need for such a change twisted my stomach, however, if this is what she truly wanted and needed how could I be against it?
Thus I swivelled and looked at her, smiling with as much sincerity as I could summon. "Of course! Whatever you need, let know... I am here for you through anything." My smile was returned back to with double the amount of sincerity and happiness, her hands clasping together as she excitedly skipped to face .
"T-Thank you for all of your support! I-i don't know why you look after so much... You barely know but you have gone out of your way to help in my issues. Even going so far as to- ahem, you know..." Her disposition shifted into a cute pondering look that made weak in my knees. She was seriously debating why soone would help her to this extent despite placing so much trust in throughout her entire ti here with .
Looking at her I softened my eyes as much as possible, trying to convey my feelings of trust and care for her. "Susan, you have followed my bizarre orders, unquestioningly proceeded despite the odd happenings around you, looked after a large swathe of the work despite it not being in your job description... And still, you co to work with a smile and are always willing to help out. If I am not willing to burn down a city or two for you, then I am scum."
Her eyes widened as her emotions turned tumultuous. Panic and faint fragnts of what I could consider love sparked within her as surprise mostly overshadowed the rest, as well as a mighty fine amount of comfort.
"B-but, that is just doing my job... I-i, I'm not that special..."
Walking forwards I scooped her hands into my own and looked her deeply in the eyes. A blush flushed through her and the strands of emotion centred around caring, connection and love flared sowhat.
"You are infinitely special to . Don't ever devalue yourself like that. In fact, you are so valuable to that I will reveal who I am fully and also show you what I have been doing."
Those emotions sparked violently amidst the flare of curiosity and intrigue. Letting go of her hands after this mont passed I offered my left arm, offering to guide her out to the limousine that awaited us. Blush still in full effect, she took my arm whilst looking down at the ground, her emotions dangerously flaring closer and closer to mine as uncertainty was overshadowed by the physical contact we shared. She was way too cute!
...
We had driven to the New York airport, taking a chartered private plane to San Francisco from which we drove over to 350 Bush Street, to the current HQ of Twitch. Having taken almost 6 hours to get there I had worked at explaining where I was from and what i was doing with my new-found powers here in this world to Susan. Naturally she was incredulous at the idea, at first, but she began taking it seriously as I showcased a minor use of my summoning ability, summoning a happy al for all the people on the plane; not fully talking about the system or the points that I used.
After finishing the flight and stepping off however she was convinced that what I was saying was true and was confident enough to show her powers once we were in the car.
I knew all of her abilities, but her showing this marked a very significant change in relationship. We were not girlfriends or partners or anything, but we were trusted allies or best friends in a sense. Knowing each other's powers in this world was almost a declaration of trust and closeness... Especially with people like Black Adam, Dormammu, Dr Doom and other such powerful 'villains'.
Even though I knew, I had to act sowhat surprised... Which ended with her smiling like a cheshire cat in cheekiness. Her expression just made get lost in her emotions and eyes for a long ti, my mind talking with her normally despite the main part of it focussing on the details of her irises and amazing features. This was naturally interrupted after a little while as the Uchiha told us of our arrival, opening the doors and allowing all of us out.
"Freya, we must be careful with this deal... You don't have your concealnt on now."
I turned to Data who was just staring at with the utmost seriousness.
"I understand Data. We still have to do this for my plans to co into fruition. Not to ntion that most electronics are detectable to and destroyable by ... So it is nothing to concern ourselves over too much. Even if they see my face, they will be unable to spread it to other people."
"Understood. You are relying on the lack of accuracy present within the human mind to rember faces. To manipulate their lack of focus, so to speak. To exploit your powers to nullify electronic elents."
"Yes Data. Now, let us go inside quickly and get this over with... Perhaps I can go et Tony before the day ends?"
With my words we all walked to the front of the building, the CEO of Twitch waiting for us alongside several mbers of the board and a contingent of security guards. Greeting them we were taken upstairs where we soon began negotiating with them for a complete takeover of the company.
The talks were rough going, but Susan was well inford and decided to break down their expenses and earning, all of the board mbers slinking into their chairs like deflated blow-up dolls. Data put the final nail in their coffin by explaining that if Twitch was to be completely brought out by Yggdrasil Interactive that the company would support all server expansions needed and that would be a cost no longer needed for the new-co subsidiary.
Green flashed in all of their eyes as I soon spoke up, all of them still slightly amazed by the fact that I was showing my face like this.
"I will buy your company for 900 Million USD. It will be incorporated under Yggdrasil Interactive as a subsidiary... Being given a new na: Twitch-Heim. Money will be made through donations, promotions and brand deals."
They were all amazed at the lack of ads as ad revenue added a lot of value to the platform. I did this for a reason though... Ads lessen the quality of watch-ti, lesser quality ans less advertisers interested and less people flowing through the sight, which was one in the sa thing. Getting rid of ads completely but instead pushing for site-wide promotions and brand-deals was a better direction to go as you were giving the viewer a choice to access exclusive deals through Twitch but not invading their ti usage.
One thing gars and people on the internet on general hated was wasting ti. So, this was my plan... And with server costs being a net zero for as my system had already confird that anything to do with my gas would run off of its' interior workings, this would make much more money and points.
By the end of the eting the contract was signed... Our lawyer teams having poured through the contract to ensure zero pitfalls for either them or us. I was a conscientious businesswoman, I would not sour a good deal just to eke out a small profit or gain.
The highest gain for though wasn't the company. It was the reward from my battle pass!

Looking in my inbox space I indeed saw a flashing image, a confirm button floating above it. We had left the building and were in the car now, starting to exit the building and head towards Malibu.
"Hey Susan? Want to see my summoning in person again?" Her eyes lit up like a child that had just found that the Christmas presents were being opened on Christmas day.
"Yes! Yes! YES!" Grinning from ear to ear at her enthusiasm I tapped the button in my inbox and claid the new Servant. Light flashed imdiately beside , golden and purple in hue as the entire car was then filled with the phenona. Luckily it was completely blacked out.
'Hopefully the Servant is really good!'
