Chapter 17: Black Market Deals
For the shelter, he went into a nearby forest, walked some time until he found a big tree, next to a stone that he deconstructed and then activated the building mode and placed down the shelter. Inside the shelter he closed the exit and a slight hum could be heard as the hologram projector as the only light source in the room blinked on, and a loading circle could be seen, after which a map of the surrounding Forrest and every life form and pant was seen life, alarming if intruders would come into the vicinity. Peter went to the bed, set down and let the hologram projector fly over to his side. He tapped around on the display and tipped some code until he had access to the Internet. There he logged himself into his home system and connected it with his firewall, before going into the dark net and looking for some Thorium.
After the battle in New York, the Black Market was highly restricted by the Avengers to stop the spread of alien weapons, but the only thing that happened, was that the price of pretty much everything just went up a whole notch, so the masterminds behind all the illegal stuff of the black markets, became richer by the seconds if hey just didn't deal in any alien tech, as all the resources went into stopping it that way.
He got into contact with a dealer who traded in some rare elements, and he chatted some time with him, till they made out a plan to meat some place and Trade some Kg Thorium, some Kg Gold and some diamonds because why not, he wouldn't pay anyway.
He then disconnected, made himself a cup of instant coffee and drank it, before setting up an alarm that would warn him if anyone was in the vicinity.
Peter sat down and started looking through the hologram, what was happening, and how the Thorium was used.
It was a bit complicated, the reactor core itself was simple, just a cube filled with a radioactive fluid, and a neutron reflector around it, and then some coolant and control circuits, and the thing was set, but the coolant and neutron reflector were a bit tricky, and the reactor would go boom, if not done right, and the neutron reflector could be dangerous for the environment if not done right.
He could access the Info because it was not important enough and seemed to not be a company secret, but rather common knowledge in the Time period that thing came from.
The whole process was done and tested already, and was safe for the environment, even if a few hundred years in the future, if done wrong, the reactor could become unsafe, so it was the responsibility of the owner to get rid of the reactor and its waste before that could happen.
After some time, he noticed that he was a little bit mentally exhausted and decided that it was best for him to take a nap, and when he woke up, It would be time for the meeting.
Peter laid down, and his mind wandered a bit, before sleep took over him.
He woke up a few hours later, and felt very well rested, even though a bit hungry.
"Ha, thats funny if you think about it" He thought as his mind went over the whole day.
"I'm meeting a big criminal from the black market that I'm going to steal his shit from and the first thought is that I am hungry"
"Well, I'm not normal" He finally answered and stood up, walking over to the hologram projector, looking at the map.
"Well, there is something" he thought, looking at the blinking red dots, showing 20 persons a few hundred meters away from the entrance.
"Well, lets see" He thought and pressed on the hologram, opening a little screen that showed him more about the group.
"16 males and 4 females, all armed, all in their twenties or thirties, seems like they got what I wanted from them and Im taking what they have with them" He thought, and went out of the bunker, invisible, jumping over to the Persons he had his date with.
He landed on a tree, and looked down at the group, finding the one guy, sitting on a fallen tree, with a few bags around.
"Hello" Peter whispered, landing behind him.
The turned around and looked confused into the woods.
"Where are you" He asked while looking around the forest, squinting his eyes.
"Oh, I am behind a tree, and I'm here for my stuff, give it to me, and I'm gone again" Peter said, still invisible, the men looking at the tree, that he was standing in front of.
"How can we know you're really the buyer?" He asked Peter as he tried to find him behind the tree, while also not moving his feet, not alarming the threat that probably also got some men with him, if he bought so much stuff, at least for the money transport.
"Well, the seller said that I would meet you here and give you the money as soon as you show me that you have what he wanted. So, you believe me or do you think I'm just a random in the woods, that knows this shit just by accident" Peter replied.
"Ok, we have the stuff, but you better give us the money, or I swear we gonna make sure that no one finds your body" The guy said.
"Sure thing, as soon as I have my stuff" Peter answered.
"Ok, get the boxes" the guy yelled at his men, and 3 took the boxes, one filled with gold, the other with Thorium, and the last with a few diamonds, and then started walking to the tree.
As soon as they arrived, they were standing in front of Peter, and put the boxes on the ground.
"Here, Take a look" One of the guys said, opening the Thorium box and showing him the content while all the other men pointed their guns at the tree, where they thought he was behind.
