A Bad Guy

Glacier town is a place stuck in a perpetual arctic winter. Even inside you can be shivering without high powered heaters and those are rare. Originally the place had a lot of resources and help from the rest of the city and heroes but after a gang made of mutants and ice power users that could survive and control the cold took over and made the area into their own.

Most people in the city left the place alone as it slowly got taken over by crime, well everyone except a few heroes. One of these heroes being Whale-Shark a very powerful mutant type with well shark and whale like traits. He single handedly fought back all the different gangs in the city and keeps in check if one of them tries to fully take over the town. He was given the nickname the mayor of Glacier town since he’s the closest to it.

The reason he fights so hard for this frozen town is that he was there as a young hero when it got frozen. About a decade ago a villain known as Glacier came to the docks and quickly took over with little resistance. Their power was Cryokinesis on a very high level potentially even a potentially even god-like status.

God-likes are essentially people with powers that have no real limit and can alter the world itself like Ares or Stargazer. Glacier spent about half a year in control until a team of heroes formed led by Whale-shark and tried to take her in. they nearly got her but just as she was about to be beaten she unlocked her God-like capabilities and covered the city in a permanent winter.

Whale-shark being the only strong enough to survive the cold was able to get close enough to break her neck but the damage was done. The whole dock area, some parts of the city and the ocean were covered in the never ending winter. The oceans froze for miles and the inhabitants eventually built a town on the ice since the ice was so thick not even TNT could get through it. Over the years the area also became a place to store people with unsavory powers. People with monstrous mutations that make them barely human or powers to deadly be around other people like life drain.

The police force is pretty much extinct, the law keepers that are there are mostly made of Whale-sharks men but they can’t be everywhere at once so the area is still riddled with crime. There is the occasional very wealthy person that has enough resources to keep themselves protected from the cold and the gangs that only live in the area because well it can be pretty beautiful.

The reason I know so much about this area is because I did a history project on it when I was 13 and whale shark is my favorite hero so I know his history. So yeah right now I’m sitting in the back of a van freezing in below zero weather, no the heater didn’t help.

Everyone besides Markus was huddled up near me as I constantly built up flames in my body and let a small bit out of my mouth as I generated enough heat to keep everyone from freezing to death. Everyone was wearing multiple layers beside Markus who gave me his big jacket. Markus was driving as I could tell he was filling the cold but he just didn’t seem to care as he drove.

No one really talk that much except for the occasional rant about how fucking cold this place was. It was weird all of us just sitting in silence as they stayed close to me to keep warm. It was weird how we went from robbing a museum, beating the crap out of a hero and escaping the police to shivering in the cold, just really a change of pace. Well my life for the past week has just been that action then some time to relax then action.

I had to turn down my hearing due to the constant snowstorm outside as I took another breath building the heat in my body and slowly let some out to make sure I didn’t overload myself. Overloading an element can cause damage to my eternal structure and that really hurts.

“Soooooooo w-what's your g-guys f-f-favorite christmas movie” Aiden says as he blows into his hands trying to warm himself up as everyone pretty much treated me as a campfire at this moment.

“A c-christ-m-mas Carol” Blake says as she's the closest to me trying to get the most heat due to her smallness.

“Which v-version?” Sam says as she tries to act like she unbothered by the cold but isn’t

“The 2009 one I-I thought i-it was g-good”

“Of course you do you l-like ho-horror m-movies” Marten says as he listens to music on his phone probably trying to get his mind off the cold.

“I-it's n-not that b-bad”

“It tra-traumatized me and I-I’m a adult” Aiden points a finger at Blake

“I just l-like it i-is t-that a cr-crime?” I have never seen it so I can’t say anything literally since I’m busy keeping up the heat.

“Zzzzzzzzzz” Ryan was asleep right now laying on my back. I wanted to push him off but can’t blame him. I probably feel like a fresh out of the dryer blanket.

“Should we w-wake h-him up don’t you d-die if y-ou sleep if it's too cold?” Aiden asks

“He’s f-fine” Sam ask as she quickly checks his pulse and quickly sighs in relief

“Isn’t his s-snoring a good sign he’s alive?” Blake ask as she puts her hands on my shoulder as she slumps onto me

“Y-you never know could be the a-air just leaving h-his d-dead body” Martin says as he and Aiden slump onto my other shoulder.

“So Markus how much longer do we have left until we get there?” Sam asks as she lay her head on my lap, guess I’m just a heating rock now.

“We should be there soon, probably another couple minutes and we can meet with the guy and get this over with” Markus seems less affected by the cold now as I start to think his power is a bit more than enhanced strength.

“Thank god!” Everyone says in relief as they continue to just lay one on me………I miss my personal space.

We got close to the ice part of Glacier town and drove past a multitude of snow covered buildings, some looking straight up abandoned while others look normal due to probably good heating then there's just the ones where they are completely untouched by snow due to the massive heaters, these being the biggest buildings. Eventually the car stopped as Markus turned to us.

“Were here guys so get ready to run in below zero weather” Everyone seems to be mentally preparing themselves for the cold.

“Do I have to go? You know I get colder quickly” Blake put on a scarf, winter goggles and hat along with a hood fully covering head as she put on 2 pairs of gloves.

“Yeah Blake you do he called for all of us and for some reason our friend here” Sam pats me on the head.

“Fiiiiiine” Blake tries to cross her arms but it's very hard to with all the lairs.

“So are we gonna wake Ryan up?” Martin asks as he packs his laptop into his backpack

A smile crosses Aiden's face “how about we give him the greatest wake up call” as Aiden kicks open the back of the van as The snow and ice cold wind hits Ryan.

“MOTHER FUCKER!!!” Ryan yells as he moves off me and falls into the snow outside.

“FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK IT”S SO FUCKING COLD!!!” I grab him and pull him out of the snow as finally I slow down the heat in my body finally being able to speak.

“Morning” Ryan glares at me as everyone slowly steps out of the van.

An icy desert that is what the water and ocean for miles became. Around us I could see hundreds of miles of frozen sea. I could still see ships stuck in the ice. We started walking as I could hear everyone shiver as we all started running. Blake was not keeping up with any of us so I grabbed her and held as I thought I heard say thank you but the snow storm was so loud.

Eventually the snow started to part a bit as I noticed it. I heard about and saw pictures but still it is odd to see. A town on the ice buildings made up of scrap metal, wood and hell even some ships were turned into houses. Massive spires surrounded the town that glowed with a white light generating enough heat to push back the snowfall and cold leaving the area with only a light drizzle of snow and not below zero temperatures. I could see people moving about mostly mutants as some gave us looks and continued with their day either working or relaxing.

“So who exactly did you guys make a deal with again?” I’m still Holding Blake as she’s trying to catch the snow with her tongue.

“All we know is that he’s in charge of a gang and only likes things that benefited him. Still don’t know why he helps us he doesn't need the money” Ryan says as he’s wiping snow off himself constantly.

“So got any guess why he wanted to see me?”

“Well when I told him we got the money after a bit he asked for the person that help us to come too”

“That's not worrying that he knows I was there without you telling him” Ryan shrugged as we walked further into the town.

The place felt like a normal town, people just going about their day complaining about their jobs, kids playing in the snow. I could see restaurants, a bar, hell, even a general store. It’s inspiring seeing how people were able to make a new life for themselves.

“This place doesn't look half bad. I can imagine myself retiring here seems nice and peaceful” Aiden takes a deep breath as he looks around and waves at some children creating ice statues with their powers.

“We going to see mostly likely a crime boss who probably runs a drugs ring or something” Martin says to Aiden

“Let me have this”

“No fuck you” The twins began arguing,

Oh yeah I forgot to put down Blake but as I go to put her down I hear her lightly snoring and Sam glares at me until I go back to holding her up. Can’t blame Blake it’s pretty late at night and it’s cold and I’m holding her so she doesn't really need to move. It was kinda cute that she fell asleep in my arms especially with her cute snores.

As we got closer to the end of the town I noticed this tower? It stood a couple hundred feet tall made up of what seems to be coral and ice giving it a royal vibe.

“Ego much?” Sam says as she tosses a snowball between her hands and tosses it at Markus. It hits him in the back of the head as he barely seems to notice as the cold doesn't seem to be bothering him at all and I know It’s not as cold as it was earlier but still he’s walking around in casual clothes in 15 degree weather not even slightly affected. We get to the entrance of the looming tower as in the front stands to men in white suits and ice like helmets.

“What is your business here?” the first man said with a icy voice like wind in a snowstorm

“We are here to talk to the boss, we got his money and he wanted to see us” Ryan says as Mark pulls two duffle bags off his back.

The Guards walk over and open the bag and grab the money and check through it and give us a thumbs up as the door opens and we walk inside. The vibe immediately shifts as we enter into the place. The first floor was filled with two groups of people. The first group were people in suits or fancy clothing. They talk to a receptionist who was a crab man with a metallic shell. They seemed to be either people from high society or the mob but all of them after talking to the receptionist, headed to an elevator that went up.

The other group of people look more like fighters having some sort of weapon or obvious combat mutation. They were more located to the left as they all talked with a tall heavily scarred woman with the traits of a tiger and shark. They would hand her a coin. She would look at it, open the elevator and let the people in. occasionally she would nod to some people after looking at the coin and they would drag the person to another elevator.

There was a middle area where the receptionist was a normal looking man in his 50's. He had a decent build with salt and pepper hair and a goatee. He wore a nice suit and his glasses shined so I couldn't see his eyes.

“Hello! You finally arrived come over here so we can get things started” he waved at us

“Does he want us?” Aiden asked

“No, the people behind us” I walked over to the receptionist and everyone followed after me.

Ryan stepped in front of me “Hey man is there any reason why the big guy wanted us here tonight instead of tomorrow?”

“Oh well I don’t know exactly why but I do know he sounded excited” The receptionist checked a book as he quickly flipped the pages then grabbed something from under the desk and handed Ryan a key.

“Head over to the door behind me and use that key to open and once you come back down, hand it to me” Ryan nods as we quickly head to the elevator behind me.

As I walked over to the elevator I noticed something well, someone actually a couple someones. A tall figure in biker gear, a person with an orange mohawk and too many piercings and a man in casual wear but had a skull tattoo on his face. These guys I should have killed them, they're probably gonna be a recurring problem. Each one of them handed the Tiger shark girl a coin and entered the elevator but as they went down Skull face turned and pointed a finger gun at me, I hate him.

“Hey stop standing there and come on!” I feel Sam pull me into the elevator as Ryan put in the key and we started going up.

“Hey you should wake up Blake” Sam stared at Blake who I was still holding, oh yeah I almost forgot about her.

“Hey wake up Blake we're about to meet up with the guy” I nudge her gently as quickly she stretches her arms upward.

“Aaaaaaahn” she yawns as I gently let her to the ground.

“Your surprisingly comfy” She rubs her eyes as I see Markus smirking and Sam with annoyance in her eyes.

“Thanks” I lean against the elevator wall as eventually we get to top floor and the door opens

“Game time everyone” Ryan says as we follow after him into the top floor.

The area was cold being completely made out of ice from the ceiling to the floors. It was all made of some pure white ice that looked more like stone. There was a path mode out ice that cut through a massive lake of water filled with mini icebergs. The path led to a small area that had a large icy throne with several bookshelves filled with hundreds of books around. There was also a wall filled with different weapons and skulls on like trophies,

There stood 2 people who sat near that area, probably bodyguards. The first one stood a bit taller than Markus and was covered in blue scales. It had a snake head with green eyes and a mouth filled with fangs that dripped venom. They also had a long snake tail double his body tail that constantly moved around and clawed hands and feet. It wore a pair of baggy orange pants kinda like a prison outfit, thought he was my friend.

The next was a man in a white suit kinda like the guards at the front but with some differences. His hands and face seemingly were made out of that same pure white ice that made up the room. His face had no mouth but bright glowing blue eyes with no pupils, sadistic monster.

“Do you know these guys?” I asked as I shook my head

“Yeah there the boss's bodyguards but he doesn't really need them” Markus said as we walked towards the little thrown area.

“Where's the boss then?” Markus shrugged

“Simple he's taking a swim right now” The snake man said I don't why but I kinda expected him to hiss a bit.

I looked into the water next to the path as I noticed a shadow in the water. Dashing through the entire icy lake in only a matter of seconds. I saw everyone tense as the shadow quickly shot out the water and landed near the throne. My eyes opened in shock as my hung open.

He stood at 8 and a half feet tall looming over everyone in the room. His body was extremely muscular, his skin barely holding back the muscle. Most of his skin no hide was pitch black except for his chest and neck area that was pure white. His skin was covered in hundreds of scars from stabs to bites to even burns not a single inch of his body wasn't covered in scars.

His arms and legs were the size of tree trunks and his hands could wrap around and crush a watermelon with ease. He had a muscular Whale tail that slid against the ground behind him. He had several shark fins on his back and smaller ones on his arms. His head looked like the mix of a Killer whale and great white sharks, his serrated teeth were visible and he even had a blow hole. Finally he had piercing blood red eyes that seemingly pierced through my very being, studying me for every detail and weakness as if he was looking for the best way to kill me.

I felt my hairs stand on end as goosebumps ran up my arms. I felt my fight or flight reflexes kicking in as I felt like running. I felt like a rabbit in front of a wolf and it was hungry. I was in front of an apex predator not an apex killer and I couldn't even move due to fear.

“When were you guys gonna tell me that the guy you made a deal with was fucking Whale shark”

“What? That's his name really?” Aiden replied as I just remembered of course these guys wouldn’t know him that much there not from this city.

I wall still in shock because This was fucking Whale shark a hero and he was apparently a crime boss. It doesn't make sense he hates crime, Why would be a crime boss? For crying out loud I had mom and dad bring this guy over for my birthday. I like him even more than Nosferatu and I had a crush on her. My mind was trying to comprehend the idea that a hero I looked up to was a criminal, He always was one. Whale shark had put on a white shirt and was now buttoning a black vest.

“My apologies for calling you here so late at night especially after you had to fight a hero and escape the police but I was excited that I couldn't wait too long to see you all” He had a very deep voice that had hints of a southern accent it was also worrying how he knew everything that happen must have some way of watching us.

“I figure you have the money to pay your debt” Ryan nodded towards Markus as he tossed the two bags over to the whale shark. He didn’t even check, just tossing them behind him.

“I’m guessing you didn’t just call us here to get your money?” Sam asked as she seemed the most calm out of all of us.

“Always the one to ask the right questions but yes there is more for us to discuss” he snapped his fingers as Frostie eyes glowed brighter and the lake around us turned to ice and a massive table made out of ice formed in front of us enough for all of us and Whale shark to sit down at.

I relaxed a bit more as I sat down as he seemed just as nice and respectful as he always has, it's an act. Whale shark grabbed several cups and poured them with fruit juice as he gently placed them in front of us. He sat at the biggest chair in front of us as he drank the whole bottle, no one else drank.

“Don’t worry, it's fruit punch never was one for alcohol, it tastes horrible and it's not poisoned. I'm more a hands on type when it comes to that hehehehehe” everyone started drinking as the fruit punch was pretty good.

“So what exactly do you want from us now we paid our debt? What else is there?” Ryan broke the silence.

“I’m curious on what you want from us and him” Martins points at me

“Well I’ll discuss what I want from the boy later but onto what I brought here for simply I have an offer” he snaps his finger as snake man hands him 7 briefcases and he slides one to each of us. I open the briefcase and My eyes widen for the second time tonight as 10 thousand dollars lay in front of me.

“Holy shit!” Sam yells

“Its beautiful” A tear goes down Ryan face

“Mooooney” Blake seems mesmerized

“Fuck” Aiden starts

“Yes” Martin finishes

“Damn” is all Markus says

“Hehe you should be excited because you get to keep that money” Whale shark gives a toothy grin.

“What's the catch?” I give a questioning look, There's always one with him.

“Well that's the juicy part I want you all to work for me” he clasps his hands together as we all go silent.

“............what?” Ryan once again breaks the silence.

“You heard me, I want you all to do work for me and do tasks that I need completed. You'll be paid for each task and any medical fees will be paid. Also don’t forget dental” he smiles at that last part, showing off his rows of shining white teeth.

“Ok ok why us, like most of us are just random people and one wannabe hero plus even if half of us have powers you seem stack with that” Sam gestures at Snakeman and Frostie.

“Well for one I can’t exactly have my men go out and what I need done I want to help this city not just Glacier town and by taking over and controlling all crime I can do that because you can’t get rid of crime that's impossible it's like trying to stop blinking if you can control and moderate it to the point where it's still make money for the people that cause crime while making it not even close to how bad it used to be it's a win-win” I listened to his heart beat while he spoke and he wasn’t lying.

“And for second I for now I cant have any of this traced back to me so I need people that have had no previous connection with me to do the things I need done” he lifts up his hand gestures at all of us as his blood red eyes trailed over all of us but me the most “And all of you are perfect for that”

“A ex-con who's a master pickpocket, a great shot, highly charismatic and always knows a guy” he points at Ryan.

“A highly trained fighter who is able to read her opponent like a book and make strategies and plans on the fly” he points at Sam.

“A wild card who isn’t afraid of anything and can use what he has on him and around him to its maximum effectiveness” he points at Aiden.

“A highly intelligent hacker, information gatherer and tech wiz who can keep his cool now matter what” he points at Martin.

“A healer who can heal most injuries without getting tired and much more potential than she can imagine” he points to Blake and she looks puzzled at that last part.

“A brute who is smarter than most people think he is and is the definition of what doesn’t kill him makes him stronger” he points as Markus.

“And finally” he points at me as his grin grows “A constantly growing highly skilled evolve who keeps getting new powers and is developing the right mentally for this world” he stares at me as if he was a scientist wanting to learn how the species he found aka me ticks.

“Now you don’t have to take this offer, you can take your money and never talk to me again but if you want money, fame or whatever you can imagine just call me” he hands us all a card with his a number on it, DON’T CALL THAT NUMBER.

We all just sit there as we all think about this situation. I didn't even read minds to know everyone was conflicted. I was too but the voices didn’t even come this time. I'll just think about it more tomorrow as I pocket the card. Everyone does the same as they have come to the same conclusion as me as they pocket their cards.

“Will think about this and talk with you more about when we have time to figure everything out” Ryan speaks up as he grabs his briefcase and goes to leave everyone following suit. I grabbed my briefcase and went to leave but someone had other plans.

“You stay I have things to discuss with you” he points at me as everyone stops but I quickly gesture for them to leave as they head to the elevator but Blake gives me one last look before they head down. I sit back at the table as I await for what Whale shark has in stored for me.

“You wanna know something boy? When I was just a young pup my father told me one thing” he stands up as he starts pacing back and forth.

“He said that when you have a goal that you need to use every opportunity to help you climb closer even if you have to make them” He grabs another bottle and downs it.

“Even if you have to break others down until you can make a mountain you can use to just walk to your goal” I feel goosebumps run through my body as I feel like I’m in the room with something that could kill me without a second thought.

“I took this to heart and every opportunity I see I take and I see you and your friends as an amazing investment and you are the greatest one out of them all Because originally you took my old investment” I feel confusion run through my mind as I try to figure out what he means.

“I heard about an unknown corporation transporting a very powerful experiment that could give you more powers on a train so I had my men attack it but one of them hit the train engines and it crashed and well you know the rest” I see his smile grow as I fully comprehend what he just told me. He’s the reason any of this happened to me? Half of me wanted to break his teeth, the other part wanted to thank him.

“So I didn’t get what I wanted but I’m very quick to adapt so I had one of my people keep an eye on you to see what exactly happened. I was ecstatic to see your new capabilities so with a bit of timing I made sure you encountered those friends of yours to see your capabilities. then I wanted to see how you dealt with real threats so I had some of my Merc that infiltrating a human trafficking ring to accidentally let one of the girls get out and lead them to area near you and well you exceeded my expectations especially with what you did with the kitty, I knew you had potential kid".

“I threw a couple more tests at you like with club void or the weapons deal. I slowly got the full picture of your level of growth and well I’m far from disappointed!” he lifted up his fingers to form a picture frame as his eyes seemed to glow with excitement.

“Now I know the rest will take this deal. They have their own reasons but they are human and all humans want a better life and well hehehe you can see what I can offer, a classic bait and hook simple but effective”.

“Why the fuck do you think I would ever think about your offer!?” I felt intense anger in my body but it felt like someone else’s was mixed in with mine.

“Because if you don’t Mary and Rachel will meet a set of villains to strong for them and well lets just say they will make the news because fame is fame even in death Mr smith” I felt my body move on its own as I shot out my silver claws at his throat as I wanted to feel his blood on my claws, I WANTED HIM DEAD!.

“That's what I’m looking for” before I could even react I felt air rush past me as I'm several feet in the air half away across the room. Whale shark was holding me up with one massive hand wrap around my neck. I slammed my claws into his wrist as it didn’t even leave a scratch.

“Do you wanna know how I got so strong?” I tried to rip his fingers off my neck and do anything to get his hand off my neck. It felt like trying to bend metal when I was three, impossible as he didn’t even budge.

“I decided to go down to the bottom of the ocean for a year to make myself stronger and well it hurt at first couldn't handle the pressure or the creatures but I keep pushing myself even when I was bleeding from getting chomp on by a pack of megalodons or when I could barely move do to the weight on my body so I had to starve for weeks but eventually it got easier bit by bit until I felt weightless until I could hunt ths megalodons with ease until I cold even kill a creature of myth a kraken with my bare hands until I became the apex predator and when I came back to surface I had died and was reborn a true beast!” his eyes were burning with bloodlust as I fought harder to get out of his grip.

“But I always wondered, could anyone else go through what I went through and survive? And if they did, would they even be the same? Would they be able to handle the endless water flooding their lungs causing them to endlessly choke?” I feel his grip tighten around my throat as I feel the air start to leave my lungs as I start to choke. His grip was even stronger then even that behemoth I fought last night my windpipe was close to being destroyed.

“Would they be able to handle the pressure? The near infinite weight of the water pressing down on them as they can barely move? Could they survive that crushing darkness?” He puts his hand on my head as It completely covers my face as everything goes dark. I then felt his grip tighten bit by bit as I slowly felt my skull slowly crack under the pressure as it started to feel like several tons worth of pressure was being put on my skull. I started slamming my fists into his arm trying to get him to let go as it did nothing.

“I think they could if they have enough will enough fight in them because if you wanna survive you gotta fight until the last beat of your heart” I was slamming My fist into arm over and over as I felt my steel hands break and crack against his hide as I tried screaming for anyone to help me as I felt my skull getting closer to caving in.

“Sometimes evolution needs to be forced for something to grow the best way of doing this is by putting them in a life or death situation and seeing if they have the will to go through the pain to evolve and survive” I focused everything thing I had into my claws as I stab them into his wrist as I felt a couple droplets of blood drip down onto my claws.

“See, it wasn't that hard” I felt him let go of me as I fell to the ground gasping for air as I felt blood poor from my nose and eyes.

“Just take a deep breath in and out” He knelt down in front as I felt him put a hand on my shoulder as I listened to him and was able to get my breathing back in check.

“You have a very terrifying potential, you just need a push to reach it. I wonder if I toss you into the abyss like I did with myself what would surface?” I stared up at him as I felt fear and anger flow through my very being as I stared into his eyes, I will kill him for everything he did.

“You will work for me along with the rest of those misfits. You can still be a hero and save people with your sister as long as you leave Glacier town alone because you know” I glared at him as I stood up and wipe the blood off my face as I noticed my steel claws were a bit different now as the claws were longer and more like blades now as The steel was a bit of a lighter gray and the metal went half way up my for arm as I turned back to normal to avoid the headache.

“See you're already on the path of becoming a true apex predator” he smiled as I glared at him as I noticed I healed a bit quicker too now as I felt my skull healing itself.

“I didn’t want any of this to hurt you and force you to work for me but sadly you were in the wrong place at the wrong time so I’m truly sorry but” He grabs me by the back of the head as he makes me look at him.

“Don’t mistake my symphony for weakness because if you try to tell anyone or go against me I WILL MAKE SURE YOUR ALONE because even Nimbus and Moxie have moments of weakness so do you understand boy?” I nod.

“Good now take your money and leave with your friends and don't tell them about what happened here” I don't say anything as I take my money and head to the elevator.

“And oh yeah remember when you get a call from me always answer it ok?” I just pressed the button for the bottom floor as I leaned against the wall.

I got to the bottom floor as I saw everyone waiting for me as Markus held what seemed to be some sort of heater.

“Kept us waiting huh?” Ryan says with his toothy grin

“He talked too much” I wasn’t wrong as we left the tower.

As we walked back to the car I felt a tug at my shoulder as I saw Blake look at me with worry. “You ok?” I stare at her and give her the best answer I can: “I’ll live”.

Eventually we left glacier town as we went back to the hospital and parked in an alleyway near it. When I get out of the car I turn to everyone and say “My name is Richard Smith by the way if you guys need anything or wanna hang out just call me” as I leave my number on a little paper and leave it on top of the car. Blake gave me a smile “this was fun Richard can’t wait to hang out with you again”.

They all waved me back as I ran home. It was starting to turn day so when I got home I just dragged myself to my room and slumped onto my desk chair. I needed something to take my mind off this situation as I pulled out the kinetic gun and taser. I needed a new weapon as I pulled out a notebook and started writing weapons design. Maybe make something the escrima stick but much more durable add the kinetic feature and maybe add a taser mode.

I also needed a new range weapon. Maybe I can make a launcher that uses air to launch different ammo types or maybe a mask that lets me control the output of my chaos breath letting me do less lethal damage or give new enhancements to my different breaths.

I spent hours in a daze making detailed designs for different gadgets and weapons as I heard the door open down stairs as I heard Mary come home with Rachel talking about there day and what plans they have. I get up and go down stares to hang out with My sister and her maybe girlfriend who knows but I'm just gonna chill today without getting pulled into any conflict……………I hope.
