“Ha.. haha! A hero? Yes, I am! But I’m also the kind that really loves a good fight!”

Mikhail Chernoff, also known as Siberian General, is an indestructible superhero, and also the russian member of the World Security League.

  • Name: Mikhail Chernoff
  • Alias: Siberian General
  • Gender: Male
  • Species: Superhuman (mutate – hyper)
  • Alignment: Neutral Good
  • Age: 25 years old
  • Birthday: March 12nd
  • Height: 2m05cm
  • Weight: 100kg
  • Birthplace: Novosibirsk, Novosibirsk Oblast, Russia
  • Affilitation: World Security League
  • Occupation: Superhero
  • Family: Unknown
  • Base of Operation: World Security Headquarters, Vienna, Austria
  • Power-Level: 6-A (general power) | Unknown (durability)

Appearance

Mikhail is a very robust russian man, possessing 2m05cm of height, and also weighing 100kg. Actually, he only has this robust stature after taking the Hyper-Serum (so, before he took it, he was an average person in height). He has white skin, a completely white and short hair, and blue eyes.

His superhero outfit consist on a white suit with blue and red details (the colors are distribued on the suit in the same way as the ones in the russian flag) and red boots.

Personality

Mikhail is a cold and serious man, he rarely smiles, and always seems that is planning something. But, he can be friendly with any ally (although only the ones he seems worth to be an ally, that’s why he haves confidence issues), and it’s very cold with enemies (more than normally).

He, being the tactical leader of the WSL, has great intellect, always planning useful tactics and plans in general. He has a rivalry with Captain Molecular, more because he is american and Mikhail is russian. Due to his invulnerability, when he is fighting, always sees himself as a human shield for the civilians.

However, there’s a side of him that he rarely shows (and when it’s shown, it surprises even his friends). This side is his love for fights and battles, which originated from his time as a soldier in the russian army. When he is presenting an interesting battle, he becomes a totally different person from normally, showing a maniac personality. This personality is also present in his powers, where he says that the first ever person who’d be able to hurt him, it’d be the best day of his life, and the person would gain his total respect.

Powers and Abilities

  • Superhuman Physiology: After consuming the Hyper-Serum (a superpowered serum created by the TGZ Hyper), Mikhail’s body became extremely strong, perfectly durable and immune to practically anything, etc, in addition to imparting powerful new supernatural abilities. The serum also made his body more robust and muscular, and turned his red hair into the white color.
    • Superhuman Strength: Mikhail haves an unbelievable amount of strength, being considered the Earth’s main powerhouse and one of the strongest beings. He is capable of destroying walls with just one punch, breaking the densest metals as if they were nothing, basically able to destroy nearly anything, and even being able to harm powerful beings, such as some of colleagues and various other opponents. He can also apply the momentum of speed + durability to significantly increase his strenght on specific part of his body (depending on the thing to be faced), such as in the feet to possess a more potent kick, in the fists to stronger punches, and more.
      • Superhuman Leap: He can apply his immense strenght on his legs, allowing him to perform very high jumps.
    • Superhuman Speed: Despite his great and robust stature, and also not being as fast as some other colleagues, Mikhail still possess great speeds, allowing him to be faster than the finest human athletes, dodge bullets, make fast punches and attacks, etc, being also able to use his strenght in the legs to increase his speed to further levels. His speed, at peak, can reach Mach 10, beng faster than the fastest vehicles in Earth.
      • Superhuman Reflexes: As already stated, he can dodge bullets with ease, and also be able to dodge innumerous attacks from other beings.
    • Invulnerability: Mikhail’s durability is absurdly and seemly absolutely perfect, being comparable to Hyper. Not only is his skin extremely dense and impenetrable, his mind, spirit and existence (pratically) as well, being immune to psychic powers, soul manipulation and reality warping. He is, along with Kate (Lady Immortal) and Ryan (Hyper), the world’s most indestructible and impossible-to-kill people. He basically can only be killed by age or by beings of truly immeasurable power, other than that, by no one else. Actually, his durability’s level is technically unknown, so we can’t say, truly, what he can withstand at peak, but it’s possibly that is absolute, since he would survive for example, the universe/multiverse potentially being destroyed, is immune to causality and time (due to his only way to be killed is age, people tend to think that aging him through supernatural means would work, which didn’t), and many more possible feats.
      • Immunity: Mikhail, through his godly durability, is immune and/or resistant to various types of things, such as elements, effects, powers (including any attempt of any kind of changes and negations), causality and time (as already stated), changes in reality, and many more things.
      • Self-Sustenance: His body doesn’t need absolutely anything to survive, not even breathing, sleeping or eating.
        • Godly Stamina: His durability also acquired him almost unlimited physical energy, being able to withstand any task much longer than ordinary humans. He was able to fight 5 villains at the same time for 22 hours, and after the fight he didn’t show any feeling of tiredness and fatigue. And was also able to withstand any work much longer without the need for supplements, resources, energies, etc.
    • Superhuman Agility: He is powerfully more agile and able to combine balance, body coordination, speed, reflexes, strength and endurance better than ordinary humans.
    • Intangibility: Mikhail is able to move through solid objects and ignore most physical effects in his path, the exact means how this is done is that he can make his own particles move among other particles. He is able to ignore most attacks, physical dangers and even gravity.
    • Ice Manipulation: Mikhail can create, shape and manipulate ice, water frozen in a solid state and appears naturally in the forms of snow, melting snow, hail, icicles, ice spikes and candles, glaciers, ice, frost and ice caps and cold by reducing the kinetic energy of atoms and thus making things cooler, for various effects and combinations. He stated once that he could freeze up the entire Russia without many efforts, thus putting his ice powers at continental levels, as well making gigantic structures made of ice.
      • Cold/Thermal Manipulation: He can create, shape and manipulate cold by reducing the kinetic energy of atoms and thus making things cooler, ranging from subjective feeling cold to absolute zero.
      • Cryokinetic Combat: Mikhail is able to utilize ice manipulation in his physical combat, allowing him to create tools and weapons for the attack and manipulate the environment to his advantage (freezing ground, sudden walls of ice, etc).
        • Ice Attacks: He can cast/use ice/cold for attacks of various forms and/or intensities, whether designed, used as part of melee attacks, etc.
      • Ice Generation: He is able to project and generate ice. It is able to manipulate the temperature and shape of the generated ice, which can range from just a little cold mist to a dense wall of ice of absolute zero.
        • Freezing Breath: He is able to generate and manipulate ice/cold within them in a way that allows him to shape the effect’s exhalation. These shapes can include gusts, streams, spheres and even a mouth mist.
      • Cryo-Telekinesis: He can use ice to push, move, lift, or manipulate matter in general. The power manifests similar to normal Telekinesis, but around the thing Mikhail is levitating, it has an aura of cold “gas”.
      • Snow Manipulation: Mikhail can create, shape and manipulate snow, precipitation in the form of crystalline water ice flakes. As snow is composed of small ice particles, it is a granular material with an open structure and therefore soft unless subjected to external pressure. Snowflakes come in a variety of sizes and shapes, with types that fall into the shape of a ball due to melting and refreezing, rather than flakes, known as hailstones, ice pellets or snow grains.
      • Ice Solidification: He can solidify or impart solid-like properties to ice-based substances (snow, ice crystals, etc) with the level of solidity ranging from loose jelly to metal hardness or beyond. Alternatively, the user can also harden the ice to make it more dense and difficult to break.
      • Cryokinetic Constructs: He can transform ice into tools, objects, weapons and other items, create semi-living buildings and/or create structures/buildings of variable permanence. He, who has mastered this ability, can use it for almost any situation, creating everything he needs.
        • Cryokinetic Surfing: He can make ice structures that increases his ability to move.
      • Cold Energy Manipulation: Mikhail can create, mold, and manipulate extremely cold energy capable of freezing anything he comes in contact with. This energy can be made up of an extremely cold gas, such as air, or magical energy.
        • Cold Beam Emission: He can generate and discharge concentrated beams of cold from their bodies.
          • Freezing Vision: Mikhail can emit beams of heat-draining energy from his eyes, freezing his opponents in their tracks. He can emit and release a powerful concentrated amount of cold vapor from the eyes, as well as shooting ice beams from them. These beams maintain sub-zero degrees of temperature, allowing it to freeze solid objects and living organisms.

Abilities

  • Enhanced Intellect: Mikhail haves a level of intelligence above than the average, knowing how to use several types of mechanisms, and obviously, great knowledge over the area of thermodynamics.
  • Tactical Analysis: He is the tactical leader of the World Security League, being an extremely skilled strategic genius and apply this skill to several objectives, able to intuitively create strategies and plans several steps ahead of the opponent. He can elaborate complex plans/strategies and apply them not only in battle but all activities that involve cunning intellect, e.g. strategic games.
  • Master Combatant: He is extremely proficient in various forms of physical combats, both by his previous military life in the Russian Army, but also after trainings provided by the government to join the WSL.

Weaknesses

  • Fire powers can counter his ice ones. Other than that, none.

Trivia

  • He is one of the members of the WSL who isn’t a homage for any known superhero of other media.
  • Before being a superhero, he was a soldier of the Russian Army.
  • He haves a varying friendship with Christopher Parham, the Captain Molecular. Since he is russian, and Chris is american, it’s kinda inevitable, they both can be sometimes great friends, and some other times acting like archenemies.
  • Mikhail really enjoys vodka and strogonoff. And also good battles, as you saw.
  • Before being injected with the Hyper-Serum, he was a redhead.
  • Mikhail’s favorite hobby is thinking about life and its meaning.
  • When Hyper discovered what his serum gave to Mikhail, he became shocked and worried about what else the serum could give someone (because of that, he doesn’t want to use/give his inventions to other people anymore).

Captain Molecular

May 3, 2022 (updated May 3, 2022) Published by RyanKraftBR

“Why do people tend to look at the weak with eyes so full of hate and arrogance? What would they gain from it? I fucking hate that kind of thing. So I’ll be the one who will look down on these people.”

Christopher Parham Williams, also known as Captain Molecular, is the american superhero, member of the World Security League, their leader, and one of the most powerful beings in Earth.

  • Name: Christopher Parham Williams
  • Alias: Captain Molecular
  • Gender: Male
  • Species: Superhuman (mutate – hyper)
  • Alignment: Neutral Good
  • Age: 23 years old
  • Birthday: December 5th
  • Height: 1m86cm
  • Weight: 72kg
  • Birthplace: Chicago, Illinois, United States of America
  • Affilitation: World Security League
  • Occupation: Superhero
  • Family: James Parham (father), Victoria Parham (mother), Jonathan Parham (brother), Jamie Parham (twin sister)
  • Base of Operation: World Security Headquarters, Vienna, Austria
  • Power-Level: 4-B | Low 2-C

Appearance

Christopher is an american young adult, he has a somewhat muscular physique. His skin is white, he has messy blond hair and blue eyes. His most used common clothes consists on a blue hoodie (with a black shirt below), dark blue jeans, and a black all-star shoes.

His hero costume consists of an indigo blue outfit with a white M surrounded by red lines, with red boots and white gloves (with a little device that channels and refine his quantum power), a white belt with some extra-accessories, with a red-white star and a great white cape.

Personality

When he was a kid, he was judged by people (except his family, who still supported him) for being weak and useless, then, Chris felt that he wasn’t worthy to anything, lacking self-steem and considered himself to be a failure and a loser because of these problems. He also was a victim of bullying in school for the same reason, being considered a very weak individual who is bad at everything. At his 20 years old, he was a jobless adult with an unbelievable amount of bad luck, with the same problems that tormented him since ever. But, after hearing about the Project League, he decided to sign up for it, which turned out to be a success. For the first time, Chris felt that he wasn’t a failure like everyone said.

And, after receiving superpowers, for the 1st time he felt that he was someone, rising his self-steem to great levels, be more extroverted than he ever was, and also starting being arrogant and kinda egocentric. He became the type of guy who is not necessarily prideful in general, only in his powers (you know, the “I’m strong, you should know that” kind of person). As he gained enough self-steem, he began to completely hate any kind of bully and people who look down on others for silly motives, and declaring himself as “the greatest loser” who’ll look down on any kind of person who psychologically hurt others.

As a superhero, he’s a good guy at his job, being selfless, hopeful and fearless, doing everything it has to be done to save lives from the innocent. And, before being a hero, he was very introverted. But, after joining the WSL, he became very easygoing and extroverted, as well becoming bore creative than he ever was and very bossy (as a result of being the leader of the team, he tries his best to best lead the same, consequently being a great person of that role).

Powers and Abilities

  • Superhuman Physiology: Chris gained his powers through the Hyper-Serum created by the hero Hyper, to be used on the powerless people who entered the World Security League. The serum gave him great matter and energy-based powers, thus becoming one of the most powerful beings on Earth. It was discovered sometime, that while Chris was being injected with the Hyper-Serum, the components of the serum decreased in size by an unimaginable number, accidentally accessing the quantum field and empowering Christopher’s physiology through it, this being the reason of all his powers. The true limits of his powers remains unknown.
    • Superhuman Strength: His physical strength is supernatural, being able to match and defeat Starbooster, Siberian General, and as well many more. He can effortlessly destroy the entire planet if he wanted to, is able to lift and carry gigantic structures, break the densest materials, and even more feats of strength. At full power, he is able to physically make rifts in space-time, showing that his strength can so great, that can breaks the laws of physics entirely. One of his most impressive feats, are when he keep up and even hurting badly Armageddon (a cosmic berserker) during the Cosmic Tournament. His punches, with maximum strength, is able to shake the entire universe and make a permanent rift in the fabric of reality.
    • Superhuman Speed: Chris is probably one of the fastest beings in the entire universe. He is able to travel many times faster than light; and with that speed, he can travel through the cosmos without worrying about time and distance. At full speed, he is able to bend the space-time around him, being able to disorientating his opponents by just being near them. He is considered one of the fastest beings in the universe, and is the second one in the WSL (only below Gabriela Flores/Hope).
      • Superhuman Reflexes: Chris has supernaturally faster reaction speeds over other beings, making him able to react faster than normal beings.
    • Supernatural Stamina: Chris’s enhanced musculature is much more efficient than that of a human, and as a result, his muscles do not produce fatigue toxins. His fight with Armageddon, during the Cosmic Tournament, was the most durable one. He is supernaturally more durable than other humans, making him able to work longer/survive without supplies, resources, energy or other items for an immensely extended period of time.
    • Supernatural Senses: Chris can perceive, smell, hear and feel things supernaturally better than a normal human could. He is able to hear things on the other side of the planet, accurately visualize things thousands of kilometers away, and much more.
    • Invulnerability: The tissues of the body, skin, muscles, bones, etc, of Chris are extremely dense, allowing him to resist harmful forces in the body, such as crushing weights, impacts, pressures, temperature changes, cosmic radiation, the vacuum of space, harsh atmospheric conditions, and many more. He is able to withstand nearly anything, such as powerful energy attacks and physical injuries from equally strong opponents, from stronger ones (with some effort), and even, potentially, the universe’s destruction (by making a macro-quantum shield/barrier around him).
      • Self-Sustenance: His common needs were decreased very much, so he now doesn’t necessarily need to eat, go to the bathroom or even sleep. He is able to survive in space without any problems.
    • Supernatural Agility: Chris’ natural balance, agility, and body coordination are enhanced to levels that are far beyond the natural physical limits of even the finest human athlete.
    • Flight: Chris is able to fly. He can manipulate the anti-graviton particles of his body, and be able to fly at hypersonic speeds. In space, on the other hand, he can fly multiple times faster than light.
    • Telekinesis: Chris has vast psychic and telekinetic powers, allowing him to levitate objects, propel or manipulate them in any way he wants, to stand up and move through the air, stimulate individual molecules to create heat, generate a concussive force like bursts or beams and that it creates protective shields. He is able to release powerful telekinetic blasts, and even lift entire pieces of lands easily.
      • Orbital Field: He can create or cause objects or energy to orbit/surround him, which he can use as a shield or to attack.
    • Telepathy: Chris has the ability to read, manipulate, control the minds of other individuals, and can even communicate with others mentally. At full potential, he is able to ignore easily anyone’s mental resistance and be able to mentally control an entire planet.
      • Mental Manipulation: Chris can manipulate, modify and control the minds of other individuals at will, being able to control them to do whatever he wants (like ordering orders, controlling the body, etc).
        • Hypnosis: He can directly affect and influence the minds of others, and can make them do whatever they want through commands issued by them.
      • Emotion Manipulation: He has the ability to manipulate, reshape, create and remove emotions from other individuals.
      • Memory Reading: He has the ability to read the memories and minds of the targets, discover lost memories and help the targets to remember something.
    • Quantum Force Manipulation: Chris has the ability to mentally control, transform and manipulate all the matter and energy at a quantum level, and having the potential of being able to manipulate any and all kinds of matter at full power. Initially, it was thought that his powers were Subatomic Manipulation, but after further examinations, it was discovered that his physiology was connected to the Quantum Force, one of the 3 essential supernatural forces of the universe. This force it’s what keeps the universe “stable” (i.e, it shapes it, so it’ll not be something completely chaotic). Through it, Chris has the full potential to shape all matter + energy of the universe (and maybe, although highly unlikely, to even beyond-levels), empowering himself through the force and achieve even more incredible feats. He is capable of limitedly warp reality through this power (combining matter and energy into a great scale).
      • Quantum Empowerment: The whole quantum force empowers him and is the source of all his powers, as he draws an unimaginable amount of energy from the quantum dimension.
      • Matter Manipulation: Obviously, as Chris can manipulate subatomic particles, he can shape and manipulate matter at those levels, being able to control anything in the universe that has substance and mass/physical form, from molecules and atoms, to planets and other astronomical features.
        • Matter Transmutation: He can transmute matter in different ways. He is able to create and absorb matter and energy, to shape and reconstruct it into anything of his choice.
        • Molecular Reconstruction: He can reconstruct matter with ease, being able to restore matter at their prime, change its shapes and forms, and many more possible uses.
          • Physical Restoration: Chris can repair and return any broken or damaged non-living object to its ideal state, no matter how long it has been broken or damaged.
        • Matter Creation: Chris can defy the law of conservation of mass and be able to generate matter at will. This allows him to create things out of nowhere (although, instead, he usually rearrange matter from the environment to create things).
        • Teleportation: He can teleport by dismounting his particles and reassembling them at the desired location.
      • Molecular Adjustment: He is able to resist the effects of others’ matter/molecular-based powers, such as Immobilization and Deceleration. Chris can also become immune to molecule changes and prevent his shape from being changed, except by his own will.
      • Biological Manipulation: Chris can manipulate life on a cellular level, including but not limited to, genetic alterations and physical distortion and/or augmentations of biological functions. He can cause cells to augment to induce advanced or declined biological healing, induce diseases like cancer, induce appearance alteration on himself and others, manipulate pheromones, and even increase physiological maturity.
        • Healing: He can restore optimal health to biotic organisms, healing damaged or withered organisms, wounds, broken bones, low vitality and disease/poisoning. Be it from biological matter, but also inorganic things.
        • Regenerative Healing Factor: He can regenerate quickly. In other words, he recreates lost or damaged tissues, organs and limbs, and even slowing his aging rate at great levels, potentially being immortal.
      • Density Manipulation: Chris can manipulate the density of something, which is defined as its mass per unit volume. This allows him to change the solidity of matter, change the size of substances, become intangible, induce currents (mass flow) in fluids (liquids, gases, plasma, etc) by manipulating density to create a pressure difference in them, and also to strengthen or weaken the gravitational fields.
      • Elemental Manipulation: He can create, shape and manipulate the basic elements of nature, the most simple or essential parts/principles of which nature consists.
        • Elemental Transmutation: Chris can transmute chemical elements by changing any element, in any state: solid, liquid, gas or plasma.
          • Darkness Manipulation: He can control, generate and shape darkness and shadows. This power is “unlocked” when he has “evil” intentions, such as intent to kill, etc.
          • Energy Manipulation: He has already show the ability to generate, shape, control and absorb energy. He can effortlessly absorb the energy attacks from any being.
            • Light Manipulation: He can manipulate, create and shape light. He uses this ability mainly to release bursts of light from his hands, eyes and any other part of his body. He can also create constructs made of light.
            • Surface Energy Manipulation: He can create, shape and manipulate the surface energy, the energy associated with the surface properties, the energy needed to create a new surface and the excessive amount of energy on the surface of a material (substrate) compared to the volume of the material.
            • Quantum Energy Manipulation: Chris can control, shape, generate and absorb huge amounts of quantum energy, directly channeling it from its own source.
      • Inorganic Manipulation: He is the ability to create, mold and manipulate inorganic substances, both inorganic and material entities (metals, most periodic elements, etc). Chris can create, manipulate, shape, transform and/or destroy anything non-carbon or non-living. Since it comprises most of the Earth’s crust, Chris can potentially exhibit great control over his surroundings.
      • Molecular Speed Manipulation: Chris can control the speed at which molecules move. He can speed up, slow down and even completely disrupt molecules. He can also accelerate molecules until they ignite, slow molecules until they lose energy, stop them completely or revert them to a previous state.

Abilities

  • Master Combatant: Christopher, after receiving superpowers, was put in an intense training, that made him master several types of martial arts. Now, he has immense combat skills, both offensive and defensive. He can use his strenght, speed, precision, technique, analysis, control and adaptation into great combat abilities.
  • Genius Intellect: Even as a kid, Chris was a notable prodigy and intellectual person. He has an IQ that surpasses the average, and also considered to be equal to the most genius people in the world. To understand better his powers and potential capabilities, he studied and mastered the area of physics and chemistry.
  • Indomitable Will: Chris’ will is very great (which only showed after receiving superpowers). He rarely give up something, is a great leader that inspires his colleagues, and is very resistant (if not immune) to several things, such as torments, mind control, pain, seduction, fear, etc.

Weaknesses

  • In case of his mental health be unstable, it will be very difficult to control the powers, since the powers can overwhelm and possibly kill him, or at least temporarily incapacitate him.
  • Other than that, likely none.

Quotes

“The strong should be proud of their strength, of course, obviously. But, the ones who use this motive to completely disregard the ones weaker than them disgust me. No, really! Thinking about this kind of people makes me want to kill them. Luckily, I am a good boy. I don’t do that. Anyway, losers should be encouraged, not be looked down. I am the “world’s greatest loser” and I’m proud of that title.”

“Look at me, you worthless scumbag. Don’t make me want to punch you because of these nonsensical ideals of yours!”

“Command and lead. This is my role at the World Security League. For sure, initially, it was rather dumb choose someone like me to fulfill that. But, after a great amount of time spent here, I know exactly how it feels and what I should do to be the head of something that protects the world.”

“Honestly, I should not be viewed as the paragon of the team. This is likely Tom’s role. I am more like the commander who wants the best of our colleagues and the world itself!”

“Since I recall, I was considered a nobody. There wasn’t one person besides my family that liked me in someway, even if I never did nothing wrong. Now, being the world’s strongest hero, I finally feel secure of myself, and that I am, indeed, someone. Everyone who didn’t believe in me instantly paid in the very moment they saw me as the leader of an international superhero team.”

“Thanks. I’m glad to be viewed as a worthy opponent to someone like you. You’re pretty strong as well! But, I guess this time… I won.”

Trivia

  • Chris is by far the strongest World Security League member at base power, both physically and raw power. And also one of strongest beings in the universe.
  • His hero name is kinda ironic, as Chris controls matter and energy at quantum level, not molecular one.
  • Like already said in the Personality part, Chris was a victim of bullying in his former school, being considered a very weak individual, and yet ironically, in the next years, he became one of the strongest in the entire universe.
  • He wishes to help his family in all manners, but his hero work (and also being the leader of an international team), makes him stressful nearly all the time and being unable to see his family in most of the time.
  • When he was designing his superhero outfit, he was thinking on a overall blue suit. But, it was recused by his superiors, as they wanted him to represent the American patriotism. As such, he was forced to design his outfit after the USA flag.
    • He hated that decision, but accepted anyway as he don’t wanted to lose the greatest opportunity he ever had.
  • Originally, Christopher was more anti-heroic and was supposed to be the “rich guy” of the team. But, I decided to him being the opposite, since there are already a considerable amount of anti-heroes in Cronikus (such as the TGZ themselves, Narrative-Man, Siberian General, Techman, Nam-Hur, etc).
  • Here are some interesting feats he can achieve through his quantum power:
    • He can create things out of nowhere, shape and reconstruct anything, and even many more possible feats, such as: accelerate molecules to generate heat, stop them to freeze things, generate a macro-quantum shield that makes him nigh-invulnerable, manipulate organic matter, generate life, control elements, teleport, being immune to similar abilities, transmutate things, and even reduce things into atoms. Sometimes, the quantum power is confused as Reality Warping (because of the great feats he can achieve with it), but it’s not certain at all, since not even himself knows that else he could do at full power (but, it’s safe to say that he can control physics as a whole, who is an alternative to reality warping).
  • He is essentially the embodiment of the superhero trope in Cronikus. In a way, he is the amalgamation of Superman, Captain Atom (DC Comics), Captain America and the Sentry (Marvel Comics).
    • In another way, he is basically a very overpowered genuinely good version of Homelander (The Boys).
  • Chris’ favorite food is a great american burger with fries and soda.
  • The thing he most hates is bullies and any person who look down on “losers” and “weaklings”.

The Association of Super Beings and Extraordinary Humans: Chapter 19

November 14, 2018 (updated September 27, 2019) Published by MorbidToast

At this point, I honestly accepted my fate. “This is it” I thought to myself “You’ve failed yet again”. But before he sent me to my grave, a voice ran out and we both heard someone running towards us. It wasn’t Axel, nor was it Johnny or Jackie. It wasn’t even Tyler, though he wasn’t following far behind. It was Felicity, who launched a fireball at him, tears in her eyes

“Get away from him! I’ll burn your face off you freak!”

Also as it turns out, her aim isn’t that good and he launched that bone spike right into her leg. She fell and began to cry. Cry like I’ve never heard her before. I looked up at Dom, catching that sly smirk he had looking at her. Then I felt it. A feeling I hadn’t felt in a very long time. My chest tightened and my heart began to race; so fast in fact that my heart felt like it was on fire. I’m going to kill him I kept telling myself, I am going to kill him and it will fucking hurt. I grabbed his leg and swung, catching him off guard and knocking him to the floor. He got back up and ran at me, turning his hands to steel and ready to claw, but I was mad and I was ready. I ducked and hit him with one right into the chest and I heard his ribs crack HARD. That’s when I saw it again. The panic in his eyes that I swore I would see again. I grabbed him and he got me. He had blades his sleeves and now, I had a knife in my chest. I knelt, feeling panic, adrenaline rush, and drained and he was loving it

“Y-you ain’t shit you know that?! You can’t beat me! ME! I killed her! You know I did and I took my time! Hell, I even got me some action while I was at it! How’s that make you feel huh?! Dyin’ knowing that you couldn’t do shit cuz you’re weak!”

The adrenaline in my system burst and I saw red. I grabbed his wrist and squeezed, feeling the bones crush and snap like I was snapping a tooth pick. I rose slowly, pulling out the blade as carefully as I could. I looked him dead in his stone cold fuckin’ eyes with a glare that could kill.

“You’re the weak one here. You kidnapped a kid, you tortured him, ruined him; Just because you you’re too scared to come fight me. You’re evil Dom. The worst kind of evil. You’re the evil who has no end. No goal. You just want to hurt and kill because you’re what? Better than everyone?”

I leaned in, making sure he felt every single syllable

“You’re the one who’s going to hell tonight, you sick fuck!”

I reeled back and head butt him as hard as I could and the first thing that came to my head was something me and Tyler used to practice when we were kids. You see, me and Tyler actually named our own moves. Most heroes have them so they’re easier to market, which makes up a lot of our funding and also our pay. Of course, move names get made by the press for the same reasons and my very own Bullet-Fist Barrage is no exception. But this one? This one is one of my own. And by god did I feel good to scream to the heavens and hope Alice was listening so she knew I had won.

“B-Burning Heart!”

“TICKET TO HELL!!!!”

All the adrenaline and strength I could muster went straight into my right arm, and I landed one of the hardest punches I’ve ever thrown. My bones gave way almost immediately and Dom just broke. He went flying backwards and as he did, the ground caved in and pulled upwards and even the windows shattered in the bunkhouses. I stood there shaking, wanted to scream and wanted to give him another. I wanted to give him so many of those that it would’ve probably killed me if I had. I lumbered towards Felicity, catching the shock and absolute awe on her face, before collapsing near her.

“I….I think I won…”

That’s apparently what I said before I passed out, though it honestly felt like I had just gone to sleep. That’s the freaky thing about passing out; you can’t really tell the difference until someone else lets you know that you passed out. Anyway, I woke up a few hours after and from the sky still being somewhat dark, it hadn’t been that long. I tried to sit up, but the stinging in my chest told me that that was probably not good right now. It took a few minutes for me to realize that I wasn’t in a hospital. I was in Felicity’s room? Yeah, Fe’s room.

FELICITY’S ROOM!?!?!?

I bolted upright, totally ignoring the stinging in my chest. Why was I here?! More importantly, how did I even get here?! I only know most of these details because of what people told me. I remember punching Dom, then black and then I woke up there. Literally nothing in between which is why its so freaky. Anyway, I stood up, thankfully having my boxers on and for the most part bandages. Strangely, my right arm felt fine. Tingly, if a little numb, but fine. Like it never broke at all. I put on my jeans that were nearby and my jacket and opened the door. I looked up and down the short corridor, and saw that a few people were gathered in the common area. So, as you would, I headed out to see who it was.

“Hey umm….how did I get into-“

I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw who was there, talking to Tyler and Mama Glam. I almost fainted again but my adrenal surge was still in some affect.

“Ahh yes! Margo’s boy! How are you, young man?”

Absolute fucking Victory was saying hi to me; ME. I hadn’t seen him or even heard he was around ever since I was a kid. Remember when I said that I had some perks of being the son of a superhero? Well getting to meet a few of the greats was one of them. I had met Dragon Arms, The Soldier of Fortune, Cataclysm and even The Blight Witch (Don’t ask!). Then one day, my mum said she was gonna take me to a convention she had been invited to. This was pretty common for us and she always made sure to extend the invite to me. And that’s where I met my (second favourite) hero of all time. And he remembered me! I’m fanboying out just thinking about it! I stumbled over to get closer and well, I mean I couldn’t really do much anyway after the explosion from Dom but I managed to shake his hand

“I heard of the attack. You have both your mothers strength and her resolve. I’m impressed!”

“T-thank you sir! I-its an awesom- honour! I meant honour!”

Glam filled us in on what was perhaps the best thing that happened to me at this place (other than Felicity and a few other things but I’ll get into that stuff later).

“While we understood that you had great strength, to see that level of power come out from just one punch was unexpected. So, we decided to enter you into the mentorship program”

“Mentorship program? Like Felicity?”

“Exactly as Miss Pittman does, yes. And well, the only candidate that has strength similar to your own would be our very own number one”

Absolute Victory. Was going to train me. Needless to say, I fanboyed the fuck out.

“I have to get ready! Gotta get my old weight set from home! Maybe even a newer one! OHMYGODIAMGETTINGTRAINEDBYABSOLUTEVICTORYAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!”

“Now wait just a minute there”

I stopped, hoping he wouldn’t tell me it would be boring or whatever or worse; with a separate instructor with him giving pointers on the side!

“Your strength is still untamed. You know how to use it, but you have no control over how it is used in tandem with your body. I’d rather have you rest and recover before you injure yourself again”. He wasn’t wrong either; Dom had managed to get me pretty good, let alone the Ticket to Hell. So I just simply nodded and assured him that I wouldn’t let him down.

“Oh I know you wont. I expect nothing less from a Barrick!”

I smiled. Couldn’t help feeling so fuckin’ amazing after he said that. Then he handed me the training schedule he had planned and my jaw dropped. He didn’t leave a single stone unturned. The man even had a diet plan laid out for me! Some of the crap he had me do was almost insane. And he said I had to use every ounce of adrenaline and strength I had, or else I wasn’t going to get anywhere. I was nervous, granted I had never used so much for so long. I got limits, not to mention the pretty big one thats called cardiac arrest. But no matter what, I was determined to live up to my mothers name. I was gonna show Absolute Victory the kinda strong I am and I was gonna surpass him! Granted, how I actually did that turned out a hell of a lot differently than how I expected it to go, but its done now. I can’t take it back and neither can he, though we both probably wish we did.

Anyway, as the months got colder and my recovery was all but over, I decided to go outside for a while during the early morning; get some air before my regime officially started. I decided to wear my comfy ass hoodie that I had brought with me (just in case) and have it under my jacket. I made sure to wear thermal socks and some sweat pants because I despise the cold. Don’t get me wrong, I love the festive months but the cold is unbearable. Anyway, I head out and who decides to follow me but Felicity. Turns out she had the same idea, although this wouldn’t be her first time training with the Blight Witch.

“Brandon is really nice! Ms. Glover says he’s as harmless as they come”

“Brandon? As in Brandon Carmine? Carnivore works here!?!?”

“Well….yeah. He works night shift. More importantly how did you know?”

“He’s so cool! How he can turn his arms into those huge claws and run super fast! Can I meet him?!”

“You’re more of a kid than a hero, Jacket”

We laughed and continued on our walk. Although the tension between was absolutely fucking there and dare I say we were both feeling very out of place, especially with what happened. Eventually the time came for us to meet our tutors at a….train yard? At first I was a little confused but then I remembered that its common knowledge among people that follow Absolute Victory. This train yard is his personal gym, since he’s so strong that a normal gym wouldn’t do. I had the honour of being able to train there and I fanboyed like crazy! That is, until I saw him. At least, what he looks like when he isn’t all muscled up. It was striking really. He looked kinda skinny and underweight even thought you could seriously tell it was really him. He was kinda built like me. Freaky right? He and Blight Witch (Or Harriet. Thought she prefers Ms. Glover) approached us and and greeted rather cheerfully. Harriet explained:

“Felicity, we’ll be continuing with your mastering of using two elements at once”

“You gotta be kiddin’….”

She and Fe entered what looked like one of those garages but for trains. They probably have a name but for the life of me, I don’t know it, nor remember it. Then, Absolute Victory just started to grow!. His muscles started growing until he was back to how you always see him.

“Are you ready for this, Barrick my lad?”

“You betcha ass I am sir!”

“That’s what I like to hear!”

The Association of Super Beings and Extraordinary Humans: Chapter 18

November 7, 2018 (updated December 11, 2018) Published by MorbidToast

So now Jackie was part of Team Spark. At the time we all figured it was temporary, since with us and the few other teams willing to take on Dom, we must have looked like we needed all the help we could get. Other than that, she had finally got her field license and her mentor, King Steel, felt she was ready for it. Although he wasn’t able to take her out on her first patrol; he had a lot of stuff to sort out, what with the media hounding us for answers and the countless other and arguably far more dangerous villains out there he had to deal with. So for the while, it seemed Jackie Flint was our newest member. Felicity was the first to greet her which didn’t surprise me; being surrounded by guys on the same team gets both boring and annoying and I’m one of em. Although ever since our first date, I kept catching her giving me weird looks. I don’t pretend to understand women. Frankly, half the time I don’t understand her at all since she has a habit of a) cracking under pressure and will say and do anything when she panics and b) talking a bit faster than I can comprehend, especially when she gets excited and lightning accidentally starts flying. She’s gotten better at controlling her powers now though, and even Blight Witch is apparently very pleased with her progress. Anyway, Jackie was more excited than I’d seen her before and she was more ready to get going than we were. While we were getting ready to head out, Tyler pulled her aside and explained the situation. She seemed to understand the things he was trying to say and I’m pretty sure he must have asked to try and be serious, because on the way to Sun Woo, she was quiet, which believe me, is very out of character for her. Everyone was tense; none of knew what we would find, though what scared me was if we found anything at all. But I was going to catch Dom and I was gonna smack him so hard he’d hit the moon and he’d die on impact. We got there after half an hour and the building was eerily quiet. I say that, but I honestly didn’t expect it to be busy. Still, it was very unsettling. Tyler started giving out the battle plan

“Okay, so we want to catch him off guard, and to do that we-“

I wasn’t really listening and the waiting was killing me, not to mention the last time I waited like this the love of my life died, so I kicked the fuckin’ door in and asked

“Dom, you better get your ass out here now! The more you make me wait, the harder I’ll hit!”

“Or you know…we could do that. There goes the surprise.”

We entered what looked like to be an apartment building lobby. Though it looked like it hadn’t been used in years which I guess made it the perfect place to hide. No one would really want to look into a condemned building, lest they find something they don’t want to. We all split up, Tyler took Jackie and Johnny which left me with Felicity. We took to searching the upper floors, while Tyler would check the ground floor and then follow us up, going through anything we didn’t and making sure to catch what we missed. It didn’t take Fe long to start a conversation; she likes to talk when she’s scared. Keeps her in the now you know?

“So ummm….our date was…”

“Pretty okay. Why’d you ask?”

“No reason. I loved it, but…I could tell something was bothering you.”

“It wasn’t you. Believe me, it wasn’t.”

“Its this Apex guy. You said you knew him? What did he do to you?”

I just went quiet after that. She was prying into something I didn’t want to expose her too. I knew he’d have a way of listening, and I didn’t want him taking her too. But I had to say something. She needed someone else to be there so she didn’t crack.

“He umm…..he killed someone I knew…”

“Oh god….I’m so sorry, I didn’t…”

“No, its my fault. I should’ve told you sooner”

She was quiet for a moment. I figured she’d be taking to heart what I said. And funnily enough, she asked me the very question I was already asking myself.

“D-do you want to kill him?…..”

“I’d be a liar if I said no”

“Oh…”

“But I won’t kill him. That would make me exactly what he wants me to be. That would mean he wins. So don’t you worry. I’m fuckin’ ready for him”

“Can I ask? Who did he kill?….”

“He….
He killed my girlfriend….”

Before she could respond, a loud rattling noise startled us both as we entered the 5th floor corridor. I worked through every possibility like lightning, going through everything that sicko would try. Felicity pulled me by the arm to a room and put her finger to my lips

“I…I think that’s Kyle…”

I looked at the door and back to her, nodding and grabbing the doorknob. I turned it as quietly as I could and slowly pushed it open just enough so I could get a good look without letting on that I had opened it. There was a shadow of someone strapped to a mattress frame and the light behind them. That had to be him! I burst through and got fully into the room and sure enough there was Kyle, naked and covered in cuts and bruises. Me and Fe untied him and I caught him, trying desperately to get him to wake up, to which he did, much to our relief. But whatever Dom did to him screwed with him. Still has if I’m honest

“N-no! No more! Please!”

“Kyle its us! Its Fe and Jack we’re here for you!

“Wha…”

“See? You’re safe, he’s not going to hurt you anymore”

He looked at us both, confused for a few seconds but he soon hugged us both, obviously thankful we got him away from that freak. But me knocking through that door must have been the perfect cover. I took my eyes off Felicity for one second, and I turn to see Dom with a knife to her throat.

“You like this one don’t you? Does she remind you of the other one? Alice, was it?”

“Don’t you dare….”

“Ah, ah, ah! Threats get you no where Barrick!”

The longer I looked at him, the more I could feel the adrenaline kicking my arms and legs to just run at him; put him through the fucking wall and leave. And that’s exactly what I tried to do. I threw the lamp first, which gave Fe time to get away. After she did I ran at that bastard and we both fell through the wall into the next room. I heard his knife hit the floor, so I swung and this time, my gloves were on. I hit metal, but didn’t feel a thing, and I started trying to get another good shot in.

“Fe! Get Kyle back downstairs!”

“But!-“

“I MEANT NOW FE! DON’T ARGUE JUST GO!”

She grabbed Kyle and helped the poor kid get out of the other room and down the corridor. Dom however managed to kick me off him and into the room above, to which I picked up the bed and slammed it into the top of his head as he climbed up. Unfortunately, it didn’t really do much

“Wood ain’t shit to steel, Barrick!”

He grabbed my foot and pulled me back down, slamming me through the other floors til I hit the ground floor, right in front of Tyler and the others. Whiles the others tried to register what they were seeing, I got a good punch in right into his cheek, which pushed him off me. After I got to my feet I grabbed his collar and belt and hurled that sick fuck into the street. It didn’t take Tyler long to have us all assembled outside, ready to take him on from any angle. We had him! Or so we thought. Turns out he’d been doing a bit of super power shopping or some shit, cuz the minute we had him surrounded, he bolted it faster than anyone I’d ever seen. Except Starlight! We had to worry about that later, but I wasn’t gonna give up that easily. One) I’ve been a Starlight fanboy for years (Don’t ask) so I know exactly how her superspeed works (again, don’t ask) and Two) if I know Dom, and I KNOW Dom he won’t be running away. He’ll be making it LOOK like he’s running away, and then he’ll ambush us when we aren’t looking.

“Jack”

Tyler put his hand on my shoulder. He knew exactly what I was thinking, and he wasn’t even looking at my face. He’s good at that. Always has been.

“He’s gone. We can catch him again and you know it. Let’s just get Kyle home and keep him safe”

No matter what I could’ve said back, I knew he was right. Jackie was disappointed at the fact she didn’t get to test her armour, but she seemed to enjoy the experience. We wrapped Kyle up in my jacket since it really was the only thing we had and got him back to our bunkhouse. Though of all the places we expected him to be, right here wasn’t one of them.

“Bout time you showed up. Now, where were we?”

Dom was here. And he has a knife planted into Axel’s shoulder. Before I could think, Jackie already cranked up the volume (both figuratively and literally).

“Axel, cover your ears!”

He did so without a seconds hesitation, albeit with some pain, and she let it rip. An ear piercing screech of sound blasted Dom and he pulled away from Axel, desperately trying to cover his ears. Whatever my plan was, I couldn’t tell you, but what I can tell you was that I grabbed his face and flung him out of the window before jumping out myself and almost landing on him. Our fight was gonna keep going wether he liked it or not and I was gonna make sure he didn’t get away. Although I didn’t really see what he had planned til he actually did it

“Heheh…”

“Somethin’ funny!?”

“Hey, Barrick”

“Keep talking and see what-“

“Boom”

And with that, he struck one palm against the other and I ended up getting damn near flung down by the entrance to the bunkhouse area. I definitely remember something being broken because I tried to stand up and I heard a big cracking sound that I probably shouldn’t be able to have heard, not to mention my shirt was burnt a little. It was one of my favourites too!. Regardless, I had to think fast, through the ringing in my ears and the blurriness of my vision. I saw coming towards me and as I tried toto move, my legs gave out and I fell. He got to me, putting his foot on my chest and twisting the flesh with his boot, making sure I felt more burning

“I’ve waited a long time for this. When you get to hell….”

He opened his hand and a large, spiked bone slithered out, aiming right at my head

“Tell that slut I killed I said hi”

The Association of Super Beings and Extraordinary Humans: Chapter 17

October 31, 2018 (updated December 11, 2018) Published by MorbidToast

That fucking tape man. No matter what we tell ourselves, we’ll never forget what was on that god forsaken tape. It’ll haunt us all for the rest of our lives. We were up well into the early hours of the morning and we had all fallen asleep in the common area of our bunkhouse. We were woken by Johnny, who came crashing into the room clutching the tape I had told Kyle to keep a hold of

“Hey, asshats! Look what just showed up!”

Once we all adjusted and realized what he was holding, we searched up, down and all around until we found a working tape player (that whole ordeal was easier said than done honestly) and set the tape going. Already we knew that this….whatever it was, it was going to be horrid. Vile. Something only Dom would conjure up. And I regret to tell you that we weren’t wrong. There, tied to a broken mattress frame and….oh god its really, really hard to write this down because it hit Kyle like a freight train. He refuses to talk about it; even now he won’t mention Dom at all and the sight of him makes him shiver like he’s stood in the snow. But whatever Dom did to him, it looks like Dom decided he didn’t need clothes. Kyle looks up at what I assume must be the camera and the look in his eyes was haunting. Panic. Just pure panic; it was almost like he was looking directly at us. Begging us to come and save him and hope we weren’t too late. I don’t need to tell you what it reminded me of. All I thought about was getting that kid as far away from Dom as possible, then splitting Dom’s head open like a damn watermelon. I wanted to kill him, and I’ll admit that. I’ve killed before and I know what that does to someone. But for Dom? I can’t think of a single person that would miss that freak. Anyway, Kyle looked to be in pretty bad shape. Dom was making sure he broke this kid just for this little tape. And the he appeared, giggling to himself like a child.

“Oh he certainly was fresh! It didn’t take much. Just a few pokes and slaps here and there. A cut or too. Just one problem”

He wheeled back and punched Kyle right across his jawline. We all saw the tears roll down his purple cheeks. And I could see that Axel was gettin’ mad. Can’t blame him; I would’ve been willing to hold that sonofa bitch down while Axel blew his goddamn head off. He continued…

“He won’t stop crying. But I learned a whole lot! Much more than he’d tell anyone! Isn’t that right, queer boy?” He punched him again. Every second of watching that thing was so tense. And he didn’t care about the others. They weren’t a part of his sick game. He wanted to get to me and Tyler. Mostly me, but I know he wanted Ty in on it too. Then he did what was arguably his worst mistake. He issued a challenge

“I’ll give you heroes two days. If you can’t find me and this cocksucker by then, well”
He brandished his knife again, quickly slashing it across Kyle’s cheek.

“I’ll make sure he’ll never want another man for the rest his life”

Dom picked up the camera, smiled and crushed it. And that was that. But before we knew it, Axel was already out the window, rocketing his way to god knows where.

“C’mon, we’re following him!” I said, grabbing my jacket and heading towards the door

“But we don’t even know where he’s going! How are we supposed to follow him?”. Fe made a good point. But my instinct was pushing me.

“He knows exactly where he’s going. So we follow him” and before we knew it, the four of us were all in Tyler’s car racing after Axel. While I’ll admit, I wanted to murder Dom just as much as he did, I knew I had to stop him. I had made too many mistakes; mistakes I regret to this day. Mistakes that make me wake up in the middle of the night because no matter what I will never, ever forget the things I’ve done. And I wasn’t about to let him end up like me. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. Even Dom. But right now, I had to talk sense into that kid. Even if it meant I had to knock it into his brain. Eventually he landed somewhere outside the city, by what looked like a run down storage place. We got out of the car and watched him climb over the gate.

“Axel! Axel, dammit wait!”

“No! I ain’t waiting! The more I wait that psycho gets closer to killin’ my brother!”

“Axel!”

I ended up tearing the gate off of its hinges. Something was telling me that he knew where he was. And like it or not I wasn’t letting him go alone. It owed it to Alice to not let anyone else I knew die. Not again. I eventually caught up with him and grabbed him

“Axel, you take another step and I’m gonna smack you so hard you’ll see Venus!”

“Why are you even stopping me!?! If it were Tyler or Felicity you’d wanna kill this fucker too!”

“Yeah I know that but-“

“THEN LET GO OF ME!!!”

“Axel you know I won’t”

“WHY!?! HE’S GONNA KILL KYLE!!!”

“He won’t”

“HOW DO YOU KNOW EINSTEIN!?!”

“Because he’s scared of me. That’s why he’s taking others”

“Wh….wha-“

“Its complicated but I promise you. I will not let him kill Kyle. But I know you know where he’s gotta be. Or you at least have an idea right?”

He nodded. See? Told you; my guts never wrong. Almost.

“Then you have me with you. And the others won’t say no to going with you. But you’ll leave him to me”

“But!-“

“Listen to me kid. Whatever you wanted to do to him, forget it. I know you’ll kill him because you have the power to do it, but that’ll make you more like him than you’ll want. And you won’t ever forget that feeling and it’ll haunt you like a phantom for the rest of your life. A phantom you can’t get rid of. So you leave him to us, understood?”

He nodded again, looking rather defeated. I lead him back to the car and we squeezed in, having him give us directions. He lead us to a small wooded, area which housed a small warehouse. He told us it belonged to his uncle who owned a shipping business, but this particular one got shut down. So he, Kyle and a few friends used it as a sort of weekend retreat for a while until they just up and abandoned it.

“If Kyle really told him stuff, then he’d have told him about this place. He’s hiding somewhere we know. I’m sure of it”

A quick search of the place proved both Kyle and Dom’s absence. But that didn’t stop us from trying a few other places but, no luck. The whole situation was stressing us all out, let alone Axel. I couldn’t imagine the shit that was going through his head. The closest person I’ve ever had to a brother is Tyler, and even now I still consider him family, just like I do with the others. But this? This is different. Tyler dying would send me to a dark place, but Axel? He’s never felt that urge before. The absolute urge to strangle the life out of another human being. And like it or not, I refuse to let someone like him; someone who has his whole career ahead of him to fall into that pit. We searched all day and no luck. We ended up back at our bunkhouse, frantically going through maps and sightings and any single piece of evidence we had. Johnny went though that tape over and over again because he swore he’d seem that room before, but he couldn’t figure it out.

Again, we spent the night searching, panic washing over all of us. Axel hadn’t come out of his room. It was evident he was alive, since he was pushing the plates of food we gave him out the door when he was done. I felt so sorry for him. Genuinely I did. I wanted to talk to him, you know, since I was the one training him up and all but my mum always taught me; when someone doesn’t want to talk to anyone, they need to talk to themselves first. Self honesty and self confidence walk hand in hand she used to say. Axel needed time to believe what I said. To believe that he really could save Kyle. So I decided to let him figure that out on his own. So I left him to see it through. He’s a tough kid; maybe even tougher than me, and I believe that one hundred percent.

I joined the others in the common area, all of us still desperately going through clues and such. I watched them all work, and for a while it almost seemed like they were machines. Total robots going through as much as they could in what little time we had. Then, Johnny piped up and to our semi relief, he had an answer

“I got it! Its the Sun Woo place in Chinatown!”

“You’re absolutely sure!?” Tyler inquired, looking absolutely desperate for anything

“I’ve been through that place more times than you can count. I’m positive”

“Team! We’re heading out!”

Tyler nodded at me to get Axel, but I gave him a pretty plain look that told him everything he needed to know. So we were a man down but that wasn’t going to stop us. But luckily for us, a certain engineer had finally gotten her field license, and King Steel and Jackie, or should I say, SoundStorm, met us in our way out. And damn was she kitted out. Her armour was pretty high tech and was covered what looked like speakers.

I’ll say this

She’s a part of the team now and we love her to bits. And she helped us get Kyle back and put the hurt on Dom. I promise you guys will love it. Although I still have a long way to go with this. I just hope you’ll enjoy it til I finish. I gotta go now. Hero stuff. Stay safe ya hear?

The Association of Super Beings and Extraordinary Humans: Chapter 16

October 23, 2018 (updated July 16, 2020) Published by MorbidToast

So, are you guys ready for Full Charge? I hope so because Full Charge Tyler is crazy! I’ll explain it. So, some powers have a ultra mega awesome special little skill. And its basically, it pushes us and itself to a place that most people I’ve met say it makes us gods. While I’ll say I’m not a god; not in the slightest, some people (one named Axel for the record) love that. I also happen to have that skill, but that’s for the end of this story. Trust me, you’ll love it! Maybe. For now, lets let Tyler have his fame. And don’t you dare touch my laptop I swear to god I will actually put you through the floor and YOU know I will. Smurf.

Anyway, holding that door was easier said than done. Whatever it was doing on the other side, it really, REALLY wanted in. The others even came to help me, pushing back against it. I turned to look at Tyler, silently asking him to, you know, hurry the fuck up. And I got a look at probably the coolest looking superpower ever! He was stood in between two huge generator, all hooked up to the rest of our city and few placed outside it. He was quite literally, draining the power grid and feeding it back. Taking more and more with each cycle. Eventually, when he reached Full Charge, he stepped down and oh my god, I could feel it. You know that static electricity in the air, the kind that makes you’re hair stand on end? It was that. He looked like he’d literally just descended from the heavens or some shit. His eyes were sparking with electricity, you could see the veins in his neck glowing with charge. His skin had a blue hue to it, but I could see burn marks appearing. Whatever this was, he couldn’t hold it for long.

“When I say so, get out of the way as fast as you can. If you’re lucky, he’ll cone straight for me”

“Why ‘ugh’ whys that?”

“He eats electricity. More specifically, the electricity our brains produce. And I’m a fucking buffet at this point”

He nodded and on three, the rest of us got the hell outta there and he came crashing through, screaming a scream I’d only hear the day I walk through satans gates. It swung its arms all over the place, wreaking everything they hit.

“You wanna eat?! Then come get dinner!”

Tyler ran at that thing and did an awesome spin kick thing right to whatever its jaw might’ve been. I’m still not too sure about its actual, like, physique. Its really confusing. Since electricity technically doesn’t actually have a form right? Like a physical form? Ah well, I’ll figure it out someday. Anyway, the whole room burst with sparks and light, as they continued to fight. Tyler reached to his belt, and pulled out this like retractable staff thing. Awesome right!? He started whacking this thing with it, and even shot electricity out of it, and boy it really didn’t like that. They smacked and clawed at each other for what seemed like hours until, he grabbed it, dragged it to the floor and just….vanished

Just like that. We all got up and looked around, having absolutely no fucking clue what just happened.

“So uhh. What”

Did…did the captain just die?…”

“I am….surprised. To say the least”

“Huh”

“C’mon Ty…Whatever it is you gotta do just do it…”

(Game: try to guess who said what. Lets get some of that interactivity most people like nowadays). We all stood in a tight circle, ready and waiting for whenever that thing came barreling out. But something told me this is what he wanted to happen. While I was piecing this together in my head, Kyle found something. Something we’d been looking for.

“Uhh, team? There’s a video tape here”

“Video tape? What is this, 1985?”

“It’s got a note….for Barrick’s eyes only”

The mention of my name snapped me out of my trance, fully aware that my teammates were waiting for some sign of direction. So, I took the most reasonable course of action.

“Keep it on you. Do not let that thing damage it. We’ll see what’s on it later”

Kyle nodded, stuffing the tape into one of his trenchcoat pockets. I’m telling you, those pockets are either black holes or actual pocket dimensions. Its frightening the amount of stuff he can fit in em both. Anyway, we stood looking around wondering what happened, when all of a sudden, Tyler came flying out of nowhere and right through the door Killer Watt had come through. We rushed outside and helped him to his feet. He was still fully charged though some of it must have been discharged somehow. His costume was ripped in some parts and it looked like his nose was broken (thankfully it wasn’t).

“Captain, are you okay!? We have to get you out of here!”

“I’ve already called an evac out of here. We have to let the prof-“

“I am a professional! I’m fine, we can do this!”

Killer Watt broke his way out of the station, screaming and slamming his fists down to the group, obviously angry his meal had gotten away yet again. And couldn’t help but piss me off. Yeah in case you haven’t guessed yet, I got anger issues. Perks of being super strong I guess; you’ll always be mad at somethin’. And I already know it; I’m really protective. I shouldn’t be honestly, since I know my friends and family can handle themselves, but Alice’s death taught me something. Everyone and everything you love and care about can be taken away in an instant. You may not think it’ll happen to you, but it always catches up with everyone. Especially in this day and age, where superpowers and stuff run around. And uhh, I might have uhh…. lost some control there at the end. Trust me, you gotta get me absolutely furious for me to lose it. But…something just snapped. The more I looked at this huge thing screaming and smashing shit, I saw Thrash. I saw Alice getting smacked around, absolutely defenceless. I heard her beg for me to get there….beg for me to hurry….

Needless to say, I think I scared the shit out of everyone. I stood in front of them all, digging my nails into my palms to the point they bled. I roared as loud as I could and ran at it, pouncing on it like a rabid wolf. It didn’t really work, and I ended up getting tossed away like a broken doll. But that didn’t stop me, and I ran and jumped on its back, and I even bit its ear (again, I think it was its ear. Its body is weird) I started smacking it’s head against the ground at some point, since most of this is a blurred recollection. Though Tyler remembers what is said, so apparently I said;

“Pick on me!! I dare you! Try and touch her again you FUCKING MESS!!! I’M GOING TO KICK YOUR TEETH IN!!”

Yeah, even though that thing is a dangerous monster, I felt bad afterwards. Needless to say, Tyler managed to drag me off of it and managed to scare it away doing this thing called “Shock and Awe” or whatever the pun was. I sat there on the ground afterwards, just staring into nothing, feeling real woozy and tired after that sudden adrenaline rush wore off. Then again, I’m used to that feeling. Axel was the first to voice his concern

“Okay, that was fucking scary. What are you? You some kinda monster yerself?”

I didn’t answer. Didn’t feel like talking to anyone until of course, he showed up

“Ooooooo Bad-Man Barrick almost lost his marbles there didn’t he?”

He laughed afterwards. Everyone, turned and prepared for anything, all ready to fight at any possible second. Except me. All I did was look at the sick son of a bitch. I knew what he wanted. I knew what hand he was playing. And I walked right into his trap….

“So did he scare you?”

“It ran Apex. You’re little shock dog wasn’t much in the end”

“Ohh my sweet dear woman. I was talking about your boyfriend here”

I felt it again. That rush of adrenaline and emotion when he said that. You know, looking back I have no idea why I began to hate her after that. She meant me no harm, and I was the one who made the first move anyway. She just wanted someone to help make things seem a little less shitty, just like me. And he made it worse. He used one of D-Rips void bubbles to trap Kyle and practically screamed with laughter!

“Oh yeah, by the way. I’m gonna be taking this one he looks….fresh” he brandished that same bowie knife he used to threaten me and faster than Starlight, he ran towards the city. There was no way we’d be able to catch him in time.

We spent weeks tracking down Kyle. His tacking beacon had gone offline. But we didn’t give up. He wasn’t dead and we knew it. But honestly, I’m glad he got through it all. Because when that video tape got sent a few weeks later, nothing could’ve prepared us for what was on it….

The Association of Super Beings and Extraordinary Humans: Chapter 15

October 18, 2018 (updated December 6, 2020) Published by MorbidToast

Well, we had the pleasure of meeting Killer Watt for the vert first time. Tyler named him since well, he’s ol’ Zap’s biggest rival. A being made of pure electricity. Well we thought so for a while but that’s another story for another time. Maybe I’ll tell it if I feel like its a good time to. Hopefully I’ll be a lil better at actually putting my stories to virtual paper by then. Who knows? Anyway back to the story. So we’ve met Killer Watt. Big, scary and basically a walking lightning strike. A smart lightning strike. You know how they say it can’t strike twice? Yeah, Killer Watt would beg to differ. I was pretty much out; I didn’t expect that kind of shock, to which I should’ve but like I said, I’m not that smart. Though I did manage to touch it. Remember that for later. Anyway, I was out. Not out cold, but the shock to my system fucked me up big time. My vision was blurred and trying to stand was a task and a half. Fe and Axel had to lift, and then carry me out of the second warehouse and into a smaller one. Kinda like a spare storage shed thing. All while being chased by 100,000,000 watts of pure rage and hunger. All in a days work they’d probably say right now, but back then? They said something like

“HOLYSHITFEWEREGONNADIEIMGONNADIETHERESSOMUCHIWANTEDIFWEDIENOONEWILLTELLKYLEHESDUMBOHGODNO!!!!!!”

“Can it for a minute boom brain we need to think!!”

“BUTWEREGONNADIETHETOUGHESTHERECANBARELYSAYHISOWNNAMEWEREDONE!!!!”

They managed to give him the slip while dragging me around and we found a quiet spot inside the warehouse the other three had snuck into. They set my down and Fe began to come up with a plan, while Axel freaked out. So, with all the strength I could get, I had to calm him down. It was either that, or we wouldn’t get anywhere. Not while he was freaking out.

“A-A-Axel…”

“NONONONONONODONTTELLMEYOUR’EGONNADIE!!!”

“Im….im not gonna die you cock end just shut up and listen”

He seemed shocked that I had been so abrupt, but I had to. He wouldn’t have listened to me otherwise. I managed to straighten myself up, already feeling a lil less sore.

“We aren’t gonna die here. That….thing out there won’t kill us. It won’t kill you”

“HOW DO YOU KNOW?!?! YOU GOT KNOCKED ON YOUR ASS!!!”

“Am I dead?”

“What kinda question is tha-!”

“Am. I. Dead.”

“N-no…”

“Then it missed its chance. I’m not going to die, and neither are you”

I rose to my feet, feeling dizzy and some stinging in my hands and arms, but relatively unharmed. I fell forward a bit, putting on hand on Axel’s shoulder to steady myself.

“I lost someone before, Axel. I’ll be damned if I lose someone else”

As I said that, its arm crashed through the steel doors, creating an absolutely agonising metallic screech. I pushed the other two aside, the adrenaline kicking its way all around my body. Even if I couldn’t touch it, that sure as hell wasn’t going to stop me from keeping it as far away from them as possible. I didn’t even notice the sound had made my ears bleed. It ripped its way through, and lumbered its way towards me as fast as it could. This time, I felt my body push itself. I can count the amount of adrenaline in my body by the feeling in my chest. At max adrenaline, it feels like my heart is actually on fire. So it FEELS like I’m having a heart attack, without actually having one. Scary I know, and believe me when I say it really is. The usual amount is pretty simple. My chest tightens a bit and I feel my heartbeat get faster. My skin reddens I think too. As it gets higher things stop working. If I get to the max limit, I can’t even feel pain. Crazy right? Anyway, I had reached 150% of my maximum limit. Killer Watt slammed its tree trunk like arms down at me and, to my surprise I caught them with some relative ease, but didn’t feel the shock this time. Though I could feel its “skin” burn through my gloves with every second. I realized I had to get it outside. Fight it in open ground. I ducked and went for the gut shot, landing it with an impact that sounded like a damn cannon blast. My arm shook quite violently from the force, but thankfully, I hadn’t forgotten my shock absorbers (no pun intended). It pushed him back, but not enough. He grabbed me and flung me upwards, through the roof and out onto the pier. As I struggled to get to my feet, Emily piped up, hurting my already bleeding ear.

“Jack, what’s happening!??! Your heart rate is skyrocketing! I’m gonna have to send a medic team this is way too dangerous!!!”

“No! Don’t send anyone! Contact Tyler and get him to my location!”

“I can’t! It’s just static!”

Then it hit me. Static. It was interfering with our comms! How?! Well it became pretty obvious. It was made out of ELECTRICITY. It was basically a walking scrambler, jamming or disrupting any electronic equipment near it. Which meant, no back up. No need for it either. I wasn’t about to endanger the lives of others just because one freak hit me harder than I expected. Though I have to admit, I was pretty scared. I hadn’t met anything or anyone that could take more than that kind of punch, let alone to the stomach. At least, I thought it was its stomach. I had to get away from it and get it away from here. It can’t jam anything that’s too far away right? Made sense to me so I turned and tried to run but each step shook my already burning head. It had gotten me pretty good and I could hear it tearing its way out trying to find me. Why me? No idea. But at that point, so long as it was away from the others I was a-okay with it coming after me. I kept going, knowing full well that this thing was closing the distance. It was now or never, so I grabbed a shipping container (as you do) and flung it right at that walking fuse box’s ugly ass head. And boy did it hit. And it certainly didn’t like it. I ran, pushing my legs and my adrenaline to make sure I got away. As soon as I felt I was out of it’s range, I tried to get to Tyler and to my surprise it worked

“What’s going on?!?! Jack!?!”

“Ty! Some big ass electric…thing is here!”

“What….”

“We didn’t find D! Dom wasn’t here and then this thing attacked!”

“Where are you?!”

“I ran! I had to get through to you!”

“The others!?”

“I’m….I’m not sure…”

He was silent for a minute. Of course, I knew they could handle themselves. They might’ve even managed to either A) get away from it, B) snuck past it or C) it was still after me. In any case, Tyler had a plan.

“Go back and get the others. Try and lure it to the Kaiser Energy power station. You know it?”

“Of course how can you miss it”

“Then lure it there. I’ll be there waiting. Make it quick!”

“Got it!”

I turned right back around and ran back. It got there and boy. I had ripped right through the container like it was nothing. As I turned the corner, to a gap between the warehouses, I saw Axel and Fe….actually fighting it? And winning!?
Fe was shocking it with actual lighting, and Axel was being as precise as he could with his little lighter gadget thing. So, the first thing I did was get their attention, by grabbing that thing, and suplexing it as hard as I could! And damn was that fun! My chest hurt still and the kick from Dom rattled my ribcage a little but its was fun nonetheless. And very satisfying. Anyway, after I quickly got to my feet I grabbed both Axel and Fe, swinging Axel over my right shoulder and telling Fe to hold on.

I turned as Killer Watt stood up, roaring in anger, and did my best to get him to follow me.

“Hey! You wanna fight!? Then come get me you sack of useless sparks!!”

I’m still surprised to this day that it managed to somehow understand me (though we later learned why it did) and he started at me faster than I’d seen of it that night. So I made my move, and jumped, pushing the strength of my legs to their absolute limit. I made sure to look down while in the air to make sure it was still following me after every jump. That, and to make sure I kept property damage to a minimum. Although I did have a hand in wreaking a shipping container didn’t I? So maybe not that careful but in my defence; heat of the moment. I managed to get to the power stations, landing just outside.

We made our way in, and shut the doors, with Tyler ordering me to keep them shut as long as I could. I stood there, pushing against what felt like everything it had. And I realized Tylers plan, as I overheard him in the comms channel.

“This is Zap, codename Blue, requesting use of full power! Status name, Full Charge!”

Emily went quiet for a minute before returning

“This is Operator Parker, permission granted! Keep the damage to a minimum!”

The Association of Super Beings and Extraordinary Humans: Chapter 14

October 13, 2018 (updated October 19, 2018) Published by MorbidToast

The next morning was almost utter havoc. I didn’t sleep from Dom’s visit the night before and could barely move or acknowledge that my friends were trying to get though to me. I couldn’t think straight. All I could think of was that he was there. He made Alice suffer just one more time before he took her from me for good. And while everyone else had finally calmed down after finding me angry and sleep deprived, I continued the investigation. Reading through file after file, report after report. But none of it made any sense. Everything was so sporadic and out of place that it made tracking him impossible, not to mention any information on this so called “Fearsome Five”. There was no motive. Literally just random killings. The frustration was getting to me and everyone could see that. I’ll be honest, I’m not a smart guy. Not that I have anything wrong with me, I’m just not that smart. My smarts come from gut feelings. Pure instinct half the time. You could say its almost like magical thinking. Like there’s this voice in the back of my head that points me in the right direction. And right now, he didn’t feel like sharing.

I sat at the kitchen counter, going back through file after file and eventually I gave up. I would’ve gotten up and done something else had Kyle not come over and already started inspecting the files.

“Woah. This is…. this is weird”

“I know. The murders are so random its impossible to track anything”

“No, I mean they’ve got heroes down as potential weaknesses”

“What?”

“Look. Is says here on Cast Iron’s file. Axel would’ve been a weakness”

I looked and sure enough, Axel’s name was down under weakness. What did that mean you ask? Well it clicked. Finally, that instinct was pulling me into the right direction. I grabbed my own file and began to read. And there, under weaknesses was Gas Mask. And by extension, Cast Iron.

“Kyle…. Kyle you’ve done it!”

“Done what?”

“You’ve figured it out!”

“How?”

“He can steal powers Kyle! If the Association has other heroes under others weaknesses then that means-“

“He’s taking the powers that we’ll be weak against….so he can fight us head on!”

“Exactly! Kyle you’re a genius!”

“Not really. You figured this out”

“I’ve spent all day doing this and not once did I see the picture til you showed up. Trust me kid, its on you”

I told him to gather the others and in a few short minutes. We explained what he was doing and how we were going to counter. And we were going tonight. Me and Kyle had a plan and we had a feeling we’d know who he was gonna go after next. He killed Gas Mask to use his gas against Kyle. Cast Iron against me. So logically, the next one to die would be D-Rip, a hero who could trap people in small rips in reality. He was the first of the next generation with almost unstoppable powers, just like me. Although I suppose living with his power is a lot more taxing than mine. Either way, he’d use D-Rip against Axel we figured; trapping him meant he couldn’t use his explosions. So once we geared up, we headed out as a team, and had Emily guide us and feed us intel on the way.

“Okay, from what I’ve got here, Apex can steal powers, so that means you’ll have to minimise exposure as must as possible. You’ll want to keep quiet for this one.”

“Copy that. We’re approaching now. You see anyone in there from the thermal drone Emily?”

“Not right now. But I wouldn’t just say he isn’t there. You’ll have to search the old fashioned way”

“Roger that. Beginning search”

We had managed to track down D’s last known location; a warehouse down at the Industrial Districts pier. Why he was here, we had no idea. He hadn’t been seen all day, and with the killings, we had to assume the worst. However, Glam didn’t want to risk anyone being sent to investigate since she didn’t want to risk anymore lives. But we somehow managed to convince her that we’d be the best ones for the job. Being that me and Tyler knew Dom. We’d know if he was just proving his worth, or that something else was going on. Anyway, we had split into two teams. Tyler had taken Kyle and Johnny, since those three would have an easier time getting the drop on Dom, so that left me once again with Axel and Fe. Keeping Axel quiet was easy; Fe told him to just be a spy. Be Kyle or something. While he visibly looked disgusted at the latter, he took the former seriously and well, moved like a spy. He was even humming that tune from that one moving while he was doing it. And does that every time we do something like this. Its was funny but got boring after a while. Anyway, I tried contacting Ty to ask him if he had found anything but all I got was static. Pure static. Weird, I thought, aren’t these things on mega batteries? Then, an ear piercing buzz roar sound echoed throughout our search area

“What….what was that…”

“I have absolutely no idea”

“I don’t like the sound of that….we should go back to Tyler”

Fe was right. Whatever the hell that was sounded way out of our league, even with the crazy almost unstable powers we had. As we turned to leave a glow came from our entry point. All three of us stopped dead in our tracks and I instinctively pushed them back gently, stepping out in front. I can’t help doing that. I guess you can thank Alice for always making me react by keeping everyone else as far away from danger as I can. Anyway, the glow suddenly just…stopped. Like someone just switched off the light. We relaxed ever so slightly, when a HUGE….thing made out of pure lightning or electricity or whatever burst in and started screaming like it crawled out of Hell on its period. Axel screamed like a woman (he tends to do that) and Fe grabbed my arm as tightly as she could. She let go when I pushed at it, swinging my right arm as hard as I could into its stomach. Bad decision really, as the second my hand touched it, it discharged and sent my flying backwards. I’ll admit, that hurt. Like, a metric fuckton of pain. My vision was already blurring as Fe and Axel came rushing to get me on my feet.

“I mean you have balls to try”

“Axel! He’s hurt!”

“I know! But you have to be impressed”

He came roaring at us again, ripping through the steel wall like it was paper mache. He lumbered towards us, almost in a confused, drunk like manner. And it spoke.

“B-B-BRING!!!”
“M-M-M-ME!!!!”
F-F-F-F-F-FOOOOODDD!!!!”

Uh oh. Big, strong, can’t be touched AND can think. Doesn’t look good does it? Well I have a secret weapon. And he’s called Smurf

(Hello! I’m Tyler! I see Jack left his laptop open. He’s doing a real good job of this account huh? I’m really happy to see him express himself other than punches! Also stop calling me Smurf. You know I hate it! I’ll tell everyone about the thai restaurant incident and you know I will jacket boy!)

The Association of Super Beings and Extraordinary Humans: Chapter 13

October 4, 2018 (updated October 11, 2018) Published by MorbidToast

Now before I carry on you gotta understand. Finding myself in love with Felicity was one of the most painful things I’d ever had to experience. At the time, Alice meant so much to me that falling for someone else was, in a sense, betrayal. I was there to avenge the woman I loved, not find another one you know? But everything about her just….spoke to me you know? I couldn’t help myself. So, that brings us back to where I left off

“Well Aunt Patti its just….I think I’m in love”

Her expression said it all. She obviously knew about me and Alice and everything. I showed up at her cafe at closing time just two hours after Alice died in hospital; I had nowhere else to go. Anyway, even she couldn’t believe it. “Honey are ya sure? Maybe you should think about this a lil more”

“I have thought about it Aunt Patti. She’s just…”

“Somethin’ else?”

“Yeah….”

“Oh darlin’, I’ve been there”

And of course she went on another one of Patti’s famous rants. She rants about anything. Men, the weather, men, the price of gas, men, Joanne who she hates and men are some of her favourite subjects to rant about. Did I mention men? Yeah, she had a bad husband a long time ago. In fact, it was my dear old (don’t let her know I said that) mother who sorted this guy out. Aunt Patti told me he couldn’t drive let alone walk after my mum got a hold of him. I only know the fine details because oh lord, I can tell you every word off by heart.

“But look shugah, if you really do like this girl then, well, go for it. You got my full support”

I couldn’t help but grin like a kid when she said that. It was hard enough getting her blessing to even apply to the Association but if she was okay with Fe, then that meant god damn was she special. I checked my watch and realized I was a few minutes late for my date so I drank my tea, gave my Aunt Patti a goodbye kiss on the cheek and out the door I went. I asked Jackie if she could make me some of those shock absorbers for my legs and she happily agreed. So if you can guess how I got to the bunkhouse, nice guess. If not, I’ll tell ya; I leaped the whole way there. It was so fun! I got to see the city from an almost entirely new angle, watching all the cars and such go by. And not a single bit was damaged! Pretty proud of myself for that one. I landed on the grass infront of our bunkhouse and there was Felicity, looking pretty good and smiling at me, albeit wiping some dirt from her jeans

“Sorry about that. I don’t really know how to land yet” I said, laughing nervously

“Don’t worry about it” she replied, finding my incompetent landing pretty funny. As does everyone. Still can’t quite get it right.

“So, where are we going?”

“Oh umm….well theres this big arcade place near my Aunts cafe. I figured we could go there”

“Old school hm?”

“That bad?”

“No actually. Kinda cute”

And christ on a bike eating pudding, she gave me that sly little smirk I love. My heart started pounding from that smile as we made our way to the arcade. Now when I say big, I mean HUGE. This place took up one whole block. The Fortress of Awesome if I recall. Cheesy name but appropriate. I love that place. Me, Ty and Alice would always hang out there in our spare time. And as time went on, many games won and lost, I noticed something. There was this weird glimmer, that kept passing me by every so often. And once I saw it coming again, I moved my foot ever so slightly, and Kyle hit the floor.

“Just because you’re invisible doesn’t mean I don’t know you’re there”

“Of course, I know that!”

I laughed as Axel, Tyler and Johnny all came from behind a few machines. Of course they’d follow I thought. But in the end it wasn’t all bad. Fe didn’t seem to mind and neither did I, so we all had fun anyway.

“This’ll be good for you” Tyler said as we made our way back home. It was in the middle of the afternoon and since we had no work schedule, we thought we might as well head home.

“You think so?”

“Of course. Even I can see she likes you. And she reminds me of Alice too don’t worry.”

“Least I’m not the only one”

We all began to wind down and the afternoon progressed into the night. Axel and me spent the day trying to beat the Street Fighter arcade machine (Felicity did it in the end. Beginners luck I say) and it gave him a few ideas for moves he wanted to try out so I spent the next few hours going through them with him. Some were cool and had potential, others would have gotten him killed almost immediately. Eventually everyone went to bed one by one, leaving me and Fe as the last ones to go.

“I had fun”

“Glad you did. I still can’t believe you beat M.Bison. You’ve never even played before!”

“That’s because I’m just good!”

“Beginners luck, Streaks”

“Oh are we doing nicknames now, Jacket?

“Seems that way huh?”

We laughed and, as we slowed the laughter, we ended up looking into each others eyes. Time seemed slow just a little, and I could feel every muscle in my body moving me closer. She also must have felt the same, since we ended up practically chest to chest. She pulled away quickly, clearly embarrassed. Then she gave me a super fast kiss on my cheek, made a weird squeal noise and went into her room. I stood there, confused but also, in a state of euphoria. She liked me! She actually liked me! This hero gig was actually turning out a lot better than I thought.

But as I entered my room, and turned on the light ,a chilling yet familiar voice hit my ears and I could’ve screamed. I scanned the room pretty quickly and saw him. I’ll never forget those eyes. They weren’t childish ego anymore. They held pure, unobstructed evil.

“So, it looks like Bad-Man Barrick as a new widdle pwincess”

I lunged at him, ready to dig my thumbs into those eyes or do whatever it was that came to mind first. He dodged almost effortlessly and pushed me out of my window and into the cold of the night. I got up quickly, anticipating every possible move he could make and how I was going to counter. He stood on front me, climbing out of my window, brandishing a bowie knife that glinted and glowed in the moonlight.

“Going somewhere big man?”

“You have ten seconds to tell me why you’re here Dom before I tear you apart!”

“Ooooo scary! Didn’t take you for the murdering type Barrick. Then again, no one else did either!”

He laughed as his said that. I felt the blood and adrenaline rush to my arms and legs. He dared to show his face to me and now he was mocking me! Making me remember! I wanted to snap every bone in that body and I lunged at him again, this time managing to grab him

“I’m gonna snap you!”

“That’s a bad idea Barrick. The rest of the five wouldn’t like their oh so special leader being broken”

“Five?….”

“Oh didn’t I say? I’m here for what you did to Thrash. No one messes with the Fearsome Five!”

I stood there, confused for a moment, holding him up to the brick wall. Fearsome Five? It didn’t take me long to realise who he was talking about either.

“You….You were there…”

“Where? I’ve been lots of places Barrick”

I slammed his back into the wall, the adrenaline in my body rushing and crashing throughout

“You killed Alice!”

“Oh you’re still mad about that?”

That did it. I couldn’t believe that after all that, after what he did to her that he’d mention it like it was a passing fancy! I pulled back my fist and threw a punch I knew for sure would hurt him. Might’ve even crippled him for life if it hit. But my fist slammed into steel, and I dropping him, clutching my hand.

“Oh silly me, I forgot to tell you! Cast Iron might be dead and well, this power suits me you think?”

He booted me hard, right into the chest. I didn’t feel anything break, but I certainly felt something crack. As I lied there, the pain in my chest and hand literally burning, he looked down on me, grinning that sick grin he always had.

“I came to leave a message Barrick. Don’t even think about coming looking for me or the rest of us. Or that pretty little thing of yours ends up like the last one. Same goes for the rest. Even smurf”

It was pretty funny to think he remembered that. Then again, I wanted to tear him limb from limb, put him back together and do it again. He left before I got the chance unfortunately and as I climbed back into my room, bandaging up my hand and holding my chest I sat on my bed and stayed there til morning. I couldn’t sleep. I couldn’t think. All I felt was pain.

And pure, absolute anger. The kind that makes you do things you’ll regret. But honestly, I don’t regret a goddamn thing about what I did to that freak. He had it coming, one way or another.

October 1, 2018 (updated October 11, 2018) Published by MorbidToast

Seeing as I was now officially part of the investigation, I figured then would be as good a time as any to start training up Axel. I managed to get him while we were on a break from our patrols, making sure to keep an eye out for anything at the same time.

“Hey, Axel?”

“Yeah what?”

“About the whole training thing. You free later this afternoon?”

“Yes! Absolutely!”

“Great, I’ll meet you in the weight room at our bunkhouse. Say….three-ish? Quarter past?”

“Yeah I can make that!”

“Nice. I’ll see you then”. I made sure to say that with a smile. If I was gonna train him up I needed pretty much all his focus and attention. So I figured if I was nice to him, but kept a metaphorical leash on him, then maybe this might work. All that chaotic energy I was also familiar with needed an outlet regardless of how you put it. Anyway, the time came and I went to the weight room to meet him and funnily enough he was already there. Trying in vain to bench press weights that were clearly too much for him. So I just pulled it up and put it down; simple as that. Being super strong works in a lot of situations. He sat up and while struggling to breathe (Axel doesn’t work out as often as he should) and seemed to almost bounce around “I’m ready for it! What do I gotta do first!?”

“Well for starters, I’m not gonna teach you how to fight like me”

“What?!?!”

“Well not exactly like me. You’re still a kid and they way I fight, plus the way you fight equals death. So I’m gonna teach you the way my mum taught me”

“Huh?”

“Look I’m gonna be smart with this. I’m gonna work WITH your power. I’m not gonna make you change your style, but I’m gonna teach you some boxing incase you can’t use it alright?”

“S-sure! I’ll do my best!”

And with that I was teaching him how to jab properly, I taught him southpaw and orthodox (he’s a southpaw like me, which made it a lot easier). He seemed to get the hang of it pretty easily, which surprised me; I didn’t take him for such a fast learner but he surprises me every single day. I’m used to it by this point. Eventually he had leaned pretty much everything my mum taught me and he was pretty excited to keep this going. We had to cut this session short, since today was the day of the ceremony and well, I had to jazz myself up. I’m not one to wear suits. It was never my personal style but I will admit that while wearing one I become one hell of a handsome bastard. At least its my assumption. Anyway, by the time we had decided it be best to get ready, everyone else was already frantically getting ready too. Kyle was helping Fe get her hair right and styled perfectly (still don’t understand it. Her hair has one style anyway!) And of course, Tyler was already ready, but couldn’t figure out how to get his tie done. In all the years I’ve known him, he still to this day cannot get it right, no matter how much we tell him or show him. As for me, I had a pretty special suit in mind. It was the suit I had intended to get married in but, I guess it never really got to be there for its use. I’m guessing you’ve got a grip on my personality by now, so I hope you didn’t picture me in a plain black one. I chose one that was right for me. Purple and grey. I don’t know if theres anything that says something about me because I chose those colours but I liked it, so I got it. I made sure to shower and do all that, and when I put it on I felt sad. I should’ve worn that suit watching Alice walk towards me in her dress, but she never bought one. Didn’t get that chance. I guess I kept it because it was a reminder that I was still alive, in a time where honestly; I wish I wasn’t. I can’t tell you how many times I wished I would’ve gone with her. Being dead alongside her felt better than being alive without her. And while I did feel sad that, she’d never get to see me wear it, I felt pride knowing I was where I wanted to be, with people who, while they didn’t know me very well, they knew me enough to care.

Eventually we were all ready and off we were. I spent the walk to the main atrium with Felicity. Just talking about things that have happened in the past week. “You think this Apex guy is gonna try anything?” She asked, although I could hear the concern in her voice

“Maybe. He’s smart. But I don’t think he’ll overdo it”

“How do you know?”

“I uhhh….I might’ve knew him when we were kids”

“You what?”

“I knew him. But even I didn’t think he’d turn out like this”

And that was true. As much as I hated him, I never expected him to be capable of murder. Then again, I doubt he cared about being a hero or even a good person in general. He just wanted to feel like he was better than everyone else. Even if that meant killing someone. Regardless, when we got to the atrium, the party was already in full swing. Heroes of all shapes, sizes and powers were all dressed up, drinking and enjoying the night. Even Mama Glam had gotten dressed up and was interacting with recruits and professionals alike. After drinking a bit myself and laughing and talking with others and my own team of newfound friends, I had put Dom and the threats he had given out of my mind. Eventually at round about 11:15 it was time for the awards and such. I did actually manage to get one, “for calmness and sense of right during a crisis”, which I assumed would be for the incident with Kai. I took my award and sat down at the table Tyler had managed to get us and was showered with compliments. Once the awards was done, they told us to just have fun. Keep doing what we were doing. While that happened Tyler beckoned us to follow him and we all did. He led us to a corridor which led to some stairs. We followed and ended up on the roof, just behind the dome at the very front of the Association building. It was one of the landing pads for the heroes who could fly or had some sort of gadget that helped them fly. “I managed to snag this one. The other were all taken but no one wanted this one, so I turned it into a kind of retreat for us” and boy was it ever. It had a jukebox, a TV, video games, food and drink. Tyler really outdid himself and for the rest of the night, we all had fun just hanging out with each other. I watched Axel open a beer bottle with his teeth, Kyle showed us this cool optical illusion he learned when he was a kid with his hands. Johnny did this thing where he drank AND smoked at the same time! How crazy is that?! Even some other heroes had come up to their landing pads and we all just had fun.

As the night went on I noticed Felicity had climbed onto a small platform on the dome. What it was for I’ll never know but some how she was sat there, just staring at the city. It made me feel bad that she was alone so, I grabbed two beers and headed up there. No one seemed to notice where I was going, and if they did, they didn’t say anything. I climbed up and sat next to her. She seemed pretty happy I came. I twisted off the cap on her beer and handed it to her and after doing the same to mine I sat next to her.

“I take it you like looking at it?”

“Hm? Oh, yeah. It’s so pretty. It’s crazy to think of the things that go on during the day”

“Yeah. Crazy”

She paused for a bit, as we both just stared at the lights of the city, in all its crazy glory. It was usually pretty peaceful ay night. The guys and girls on the night shift are pretty scary from what I hear. Anyway, she spoke and it broke me out of my staring contest.

“I don’t get you”

“Really? I’m a pretty simple guy. Have you seen the state of the jacket?”

She laughed a little and continued

“No, I mean you’re not what I always thought a hero would be like”

“Oh?”

“Yeah. You’re so…..so….”

“Private?”

“Yeah. Most heroes are really open but, I can tell you’re hiding something”

“I…I have a lot of things I don’t like to talk about”

“Would it make you feel better if I told you about me?”

“I-i guess. If you’re okay with that”

She took a breath, composing herself somewhat, then continued on.

“When I was a kid, I was pretty weird. I liked emo stuff you know? And I wasn’t really good at showing off my powers so I guess a lot of kids didn’t like me. And one day, one of em pushed me a bit too far. I hurt him pretty badly. And ever since then I’ve felt like I’m just….”

“Yeah….I know what you mean”

We once again found ourselves staring into the lights of the city and next thing you know, she slid her arm around my and rested her head on my shoulder. Naturally I panicked on the inside; what is she doing!? I’m here for Alice dammit! I kept telling myself but I just didn’t move. Instead I spoke

“Ummm…since tomorrow is Saturday um….do you wanna….”

“Get lunch? See a movie? Do anything other than work?”

“Y-yeah pretty much”

She smiled at me. In a way that Alice used to that was all but familiar to me

“Sure, why not. I was gonna ask you at some point too”

We sat in silence for a while before the reality dawned on me

“Did….did I just ask you on a date?”

“Yup”

“Huh. Never thought I could”

“Why’s that?”

It was at this point that, I realized I had a choice. I could tell her about Alice, about my past, about everything. She deserved to know right? And as much as I felt the same way, I just….couldn’t

“Nervous I guess” I said as I chuckled nervously. Hopefully she didn’t see through that but Fe is smarter than she looks. Of course she saw it. But as we headed back to out bunks, she pulled a sneaky on my and held my hand the whole way there. I tried not to let it get to me. I really did. But come the next day I needed to talk to someone I trusted the most. So I went back to the place this person was

“Well Aunt Patti its just….. I think I’m in love!”

This one absolutely demolished me...I actually laughed instead of breathing out through my nose loudly.
