Chapter 12 - dead or alive

Chaos Agent was furious.

He waited for hours for his best agent to arrive, and she never did. He growled in frustration and his gravely, broken screams echoed through the hills by Retail Row as he walked back inside the base in defeat.

"Boss, what's going on? Why are you scream-" Oblivion took notice of how upset her boss was and immediately shut up.

"Y/n," he roared, his black gooy skin spreading outside his mask. "I want her dead. She's betraying us!"

"I told you that already, sir. She resigned," Oblivion sighed, crossing her arms. " It's obvious she's fallen for Midas. She wants to be with them."

"I gave her this mission cause I knew she wouldn't fail me," Chaos Agent paced, his mind racing, "and she does this. I thought she was loyal, I thought she would never fail me!"

"She has always been a disappointment," Oblivion sneered, smirking under her mask finally hearing from Chaos Agent what she had known for so long, what he was too blinded to admit. "Change of plans..." Chaos Agent said after a moment. "I sent her to find out what Midas was up to, and kill him. But what if... now that she's close to him..." he began to trail off.

"Killing Midas would serve as a punishment," Oblivion suggested. Chaos Agent turned and chuckled darkly, "I like the sound of that. By the end of this season, Midas will be dead. And Y/n... will be back here with us. Dead, or alive."

"I promise you, Chaos... if she's to die, it will be by my own hands," Oblivion said, bowing her head to him. "You can count on it."

"I better," he growled. "Go. We must alert the other agents in the morning."

The next morning, Midas called a mandatory meeting for all Ghost members immediately after breakfast. All of them gathered in the board room, and Midas took a seat in his usual golden chair at the head of the table. He sighed and pressed his fingers together, leaning back.

"Agents, I.. sadly, have some distressing news. As some of you know, yesterday our mission to protect the Yacht from Shadow has failed. And, during the fight, we lost 2 of our own agents."

The room collectively gasped as Midas nodded solemnly. "First... Deadpool is now the new owner of the Yacht. He's turned it into his own fan museum at this point," he frowned, "and he took Agent Giller, who is now deceased, with him."

The room stayed quiet and Lynx grabbed Meowscles' hand as he fought back tears. "He took my home," he meowed. "And turned it into that!"

"I know, Meowscles. And until we can get back the Yacht from him, I've assigned you a new location. For now, you will be positioned at the Box Factory close by Retail Row," Midas said to Meowscles. He hissed in frustration, "The Box Factory?! Are you kidding me?"

"I know it's not ideal, Meowscles. But right now we're storing valuable information there. I need you to keep watch there until we can take back the Yacht," Midas sighed. Meowscles nodded and meowed sadly.

"If we can gather enough people, we can launch a full on assault on the Yacht and get Deadpool away from it," Y/n suggested. "It's not that easy!" Skye snapped, still on edge from the other day, "It's not like we have an entire army of Henchmen, or members!"

"Skye, now is not the time," Midas frowned, narrowing his eyes at her.

"I'm just saying!" Skye set down her controller and crossed her arms, turning from Midas to Y/n. "She waltzes in here randomly and expects all this firepower and the ability to take over Shadow in an instant! It doesn't work like that! You're not a superhero, L/n!"
