Blue Technomancer CHAPTER 29

Martin sat in his office at a loss for what to do next. He had a lot to do and a lot of people to put in the ground. The only problem was he didn’t know where to start.

“Mr. Remo. Mr. Lucas wishes to see you.” Nikita said over his communicator.

Martin stared at his computer screen waiting staring at footage that took place a several hours ago.

“Tell him to give me ten minutes.” Martin said touching his communicator.

“He says to take your time. He’ll be waiting to give you a report of what he learned.” Nikita said.

Martin turned in his chair. He waved a hand and the memories from a few hours ago were projected from his mind toward his window. He sat back watched his past events play back.

Martin watched the memory of himself sitting in a cafe. He was watching live footage camera feed inside as his team raided the building. All they found were fallen SD agents.

Martin’s projected memory faded away. Martin stared at the city. He got to his feet and touched his communicator attached to his collar. “Come in Beau.” He said.

“Copy that!” Beau said.

A few seconds later Beau rolled into Martin’s office in his wheelchair. He found Martin alone staring off at the city his back to Beau.

“How did he turn Ethan?” Martin asked.

“Drugs. Got him hooked to some new shit that fucked him up and put him under his control.” Beau said. “Anything else you want to know?” He said.

“Did you find out why he killed Ethan? Did the President order the hit.” Martin asked.

Beau put his phone on Martin’s desk. “I recorded his confession. I had to break him. He said the government wants Jessica bad. He said the issue take down the only thing protecting her from them.” He said.

Martin nodded. “Homeworld. What part did the others play in Ethan’s death?” He asked.

“Nothing. They were puppets literally. They had no control over it. Either case they didn’t have a choice. Funny thing is they said their mission was only to convince her or capture and force her into the program. They have no idea why Agent Hall went as far as he did. None of it made sense to me. I did a little bit more digging though when I searched his apartment and computer. I found deleted emails and messages and reports. He was working for somebody else on side.” Beau said.

Martin frowned. “Who?” He said.

“Your competition. Do you remember the other two gangs back in New York?” Beau said quietly.

Martin froze and then he nodded. “Yeah. The Wakers and The Wicked sisters. I thought Rider and Artemus took them all out. Was that a lie or do you think Rider and Artemus were working for them?”

“The answer was pretty simple. They got the Wakers. They missed taking out the Sisters. They missed their targets and now we have to deal with them now.” Beau said.

“So the sisters are alive?!” Martin said softly. “Holy shit.” He said.

Beau nodded. “Yeah. Their government consultants as well. They want you out. Ethan was the first target your the next one. I’m sorry.” He said.

Martin shook his head. “I should have seen this coming. This is my fault.” He said.

Beau shook his head. “You did the best you could with the knowledge you had. It doesn’t matter now. It’s done we can only move forward. We know their alive now and we know they want you and Homeworld out of the picture. So we need to act plan and act accordingly with that in mind.” He said.

Martin turned toward him. “How did you figure out how to use to teleportation so soon I thought it would take you ten years.”

Beau shook his head. “It wasn’t teleportation. I blended my body into my environment.” He said stiffly.

“Can you replicate it so that the team can use it on missions?” Martin asked.

Beau’s eyes looked back and forth in thought and he grimaced. “I don’t know. It’s not really technology I made. It’s mutation part of my body. There is a chance I can make a suit. I would have to do test prototypes that will explode from an energy burst. I also don’t know if the effort will be useful compared to teleportation.” He said.

Martin grimaced shaking his head. “Alright. Keep working on the Teleporter device. We’re having a memorial for Ethan tomorrow. You’ll be there.” He said.

“What about Ryu?” Beau asked.

Martin frowned. “He’s staying on. He’s the strongest Warrior we have. One way or another we will figure out how to turn him in to something manageable. I just got one question for you though.” He said turning to face Beau.

Beau nodded his head. He noticed Martin looking at his legs. He smiled. “I’m good.” He said.

Martin shook his head. “That’s bullshit you can tell the others brother. Just between me and you.” He said.

Beau nodded. “I have a shit kicking headache and my fucking nubs hurt like hell. Other then that.” He said with shrug.

Martin stared at him. “I don’t want you using your powers. I brought you in for your mind and because you’ve been loyal to me and my family.” He said.

Beau shook his head. “You paid me back a hundred fold by doing your best to get you kids out and keep them alive. I just came here to see if Angel was planning. You don’t owe anything.” He said.

Martin shook his head. “It was a mistake for us to bring you in. The sisters are going to come after you now with a vengeance. This is going to be all out war until we take those bitches out finally.” He said.

Beau smiled. “Bring them on boss. Bring them on.” He said.

How to challenge a aggression nature

We are who we are from the series of choices we make to the outlook we choose to have in life and the gifts and talents we are innately born with.

Aggression. Can be a powerful tool in your life to help push you to your limits and others to do and become their best version. It can also be a force of destruction in your life and on others. It’s your choice.

There is nothing wrong with being aggressive if it is your nature. You have to choose how you use your nature in your life, form yourself, or destroy yourself. Know yourself and use your nature to craft your own path and craft your body and mind to your advantage in life. Whether in business, you can use aggression to pursue the deal or the big sale or martial arts and boxing to push yourself and skill for next round or big overall win.

This is who I am. I accept my nature. I will use it to my advantage. I will use it, push myself forward, and create harmony with me and for the benefit of the people I love.

Blue Technomancer CHAPTER 28

Beau shifted his body and became invisible as he sneaked inside of the building waiting for Angel and the girls to arrange everything right for him to make his appearance. The abandoned office building. The lights went out as soldiers inside started to panic he went to work. He took out the soldiers two at a time quickly with electrical blasts from his hands gloves and then eliminated the last men until it was only their leader left holding a gun to Jessica’s head trying to communicate with his bosses but I had already made sure that he wouldn’t able to do that at all by jamming the signal of his phone.

I finally appeared before him hold my pistol to the leader’s head. I stared at him as he smiled at me. “You want the girl to live then-” He said but the gun flew out of his hand and attached to my chest. Jessica quickly got up as I heard Angel and the others come.

“Take her out of here. I’ll talk to the others when they come.” Beau said.

“Beau. They’ll have Ryu working with them.” Angel said.

“Beau come with us. You’ve done enough. I know your in pain right now.” Jessica said quickly.

“Do as I say Angel. I handle that boy and others. Leave.” Beau said.

They quickly left the room. Beau waited until he knew they were completely alone. “I didn’t kill your men. I don’t want them. All I want to know is did your boss kill that Ethan?” I asked.

The man stared at Beau. “Your Technomancer aren’t you? You’re only going to get yourself in trouble elder.” He said.

Beau stared at him. “That man drugged, and turned that boy against his father and our people and then he killed him. I can’t let that shit slide. I know he enslaved you and our people to keep quiet about it. He’s a fucking traitor and monster. The biggest mistake he made was turning his bullshit my way.” He said.

Suddenly, a burst of wind pushed Beau back toward the wall. The soldier glared at him as power radiated from his eyes and glowing body. “Unlucky for you my job is take out Supers that threaten the state and-ah!” He said but he stopped as Beau shot him in the head.

The man fell to the floor dead. Beau sighed and he holstered his gun in his holster. He waited for Homeworld agents to arrive. He thought about how he could defeat them. He changed his body shifting into environment.

The soldiers arrived and were all gun-ho. Then they were silent as they saw the bodies on the floor. He waited until the fake Ethan Remo arrived. Beau waited and then he appeared before him.

The others stared at Beau as he studied the fake Ethan Remo. “You killed Ethan Remo. You should have let him go.!” Beau said.

Ethan turned to Ryu who stood beside him. “Kill him!” He said.

Ryu smiled and he took a breath. He started to breath out lightning but Beau held up his hand and blasted Ryu with electrical energy and shockwaves until he fell to the floor shaking and rolling on the floor. The others stared as Beau turned his attention to the Fake Ethan.

Ethan started to open his mouth but Beau blasted his body with electrical energy and shockwaves. Ethan screamed and roared as his body began to change and shift into another form and his face changed and then what remained was a monster. Beau let up once to look at one of Ethan’s brothers. “Your Qade. Martin’s youngest. Take your brothers and our people out of here. Tell the boss I’ll give him a report.” He said.

Qade started to shake his head but his radio sounded off. He put his lips to his radio. “Yeah.”

“Your sister is safe. Get our people out of there and let Techno handle it. You Copy!” Martian said over the radio.

Qade sighed staring at Beau. “Copy that. We’re coming back to base.” He said and waved for his people to go. “Somebody pick up Ryu and let’s get the fuck back.” He said and nodded to Beau. “I’ll see you back at the base.” He said and turned and led the way out of the building.

Beau waited until the others were gone. He turned his attention to the man on the floor. “You’re going to tell. Why did what you did or I’m going to burn to death.” He said.

“Fuck you!” He said.

Beau chuckled. “Okay. Let’s do it your way.” He said and opened his hand blasted the fake Ethan with blasts of electrical energy.” He said.

Blue Technomancer CHAPTER 27

Beau sat at his work bench in his apartment worrying about whether the mission would go well or not. He didn’t trust Ryu not to fuck it up some how though he knew Ryu cared about Jessica….

“You still thinking about getting back in the game, Techno?” Angel asked.

“Angel?!” Beau breathed out her name in gasp of surprise.

Beau turned in his seat and stared at a tall female in a blue uniform with motorcycle helmet on. She walked over to him. She had a sway to her hips and a supply curve to her body. She placed a gloved hand on his cheek.

“Hey handsome. You miss me.” Angel said.

Beau stared up at her. “You won’t let me see your face yet. Why?”

“It’s not time, Handsome. Your still on guard against me. I ain’t no one night stand. I’m sticking around. I got the ride out front. You want me to give you a lift?”

Beau’s legs formed under him as he pushed himself up and stood nearly at her height. His head came to her chin. “I know your height and body type. I’ll be able to pick you out in Homeworld.” He said coolly even as the pain from his prosthetic legs. He needed an upgrade no time like the present. He sat on the edge of desk a moment while he formed a simpler from of prosthetic legs he could move better.

“Are your legs hurting?” Angel asked in concern.

Beau waved away her concern.. “I know what you look like now.” He said forming new blue legs as he spoke.

“You do?” Angel asked and turned to look over to two other females that were dressed like her in the same outfit and helmet. “What do you think ladies.

The girls giggled they shook their heads.

Beau groaned and came to his feet in his new legs. There was soreness to them but no pain at least not yet. “Damn. Hold on. Let me get my gun.” He said moving over to his safe. He unlocked it by keying in a code. The door opened and he got out a long rife case.

“I don’t think your going to need that.” Angel said.

Beau frowned at her. “Why not?! A soldier needs his weapon.”

Angel shook her head. “Your not a soldier anymore. You don’t need to use it anyone.” She said and then held up a single bullet. “You only need this. Your mind and body can do the rest.”

Beau frowned but put down his rifle and reached for the bullet with his mind pulling it from her hand to his. He held it.

“We’ll give you a few minutes. Ladies let’s go warm of the ride.” Angel said heading out the door with her friends.

Metal and weapon pieces were pulled to the bullet as Beau walked slow to the door. He heard boots touch down on the floor boards behind him. He paused frowning. “I was expecting you much sooner. Why are you showing up now of all times?” He said.

“Techno.” Eddie Long spoke softly.

Beau half turned to look first at Eddie Long who stood in a green uniform with SD on the breast pocket. His partner who was dressed the same had on a face shield.

Beau focused on Eddie. “If you came here to kill me let’s get to it.” He said.

Eddie grimaced. “We came here to ask a favor. The government wants Jessica Remo in Supers Division. We had to take her on. We didn’t know you were involved.” HE said.

Beau shook his head. “I’m not the one you should worried about. She belongs to Homeworld. We will take her back.” He said.

Eddie stiffened at his words. “Our people are under orders. We can’t let her go. My partner and I were hoping things can be resolved with a whole lot of people getting killed.”

“Give her up then and take the heat from the normals.” Beau said.

“We can’t.” Eddie said.

Beau turned his head to the side. “You can’t or you won’t?”

“We can’t!” Eddie said. “We’re under some type of hypnosis and orders by our handler. We can’t afford to buck them at this time. If you can take him out we put up that much of fight.” He said.

The other man handed Beau a 8’11 photo of the handler. Beau stared at Ethan Remo. “This is Ethan Remo. I don’t care what he did. Homeland will-“

Eddie shook his head. “Ethan Remo was killed two weeks by this man.” He said.

“What No. No. You’re lying?! It can’t be. No.” Beau said.

“Mr. Remo wanted out of the arrangement between them.” Eddie’s partner said calmly. “Agent Hall killed him in a fight and then put the rest of us under hypnosis.”

The picture fell from Beau’s hand as his armor started to form around his body until his helmet formed around his head. He looked up at them from his faceless mask.

“I’ll handle it from here.” Beau said coldly as a blue light brightened his body and then he moved with advanced speed.

Beau moved fast racing past both men down like they were standing still and into the hallway toward the stairway. He raced away jumping down fleets of stairs at a time until he was down stairs and he headed to the garage area.

He wasn’t surprised to find Angel and her girls there waiting for him. Angel stood by modified black SUV. I ignored them as I appeared and jumped onto a motorcycle and started it up. The garage door opened up and then minute it was cleared I drove through the door with the Angel following me in the SUV.

Blue Technomancer CHAPTER 26

Beau was smiling as he directed Homeworld agents to put up posters of Jessica in uniform and erotic poses in lock up. Martin and Ethan were in the room. Ryu sat on his bonk keeping a watchful eye on Ethan who had Beau’s special made pistol in his gun belt.

“Why are you here Ryu?” Beau asked him.

Ryu was focused on Ethan. “I got bored with the military so I talked my way out. I was recruited by Ethan a year ago.”

“Hmm. You sure about that?” Beau asked. “Can you even remember what led to this boredom?” Beau asked.

There was an explosion outside. Martin checked his phone. “Shit. Beau it’s happening. They’ve taken her.”

“Taken her?! Who the fuck is her?” Ryu demanded.

Beau nodded to Martin. “You better take Ethan with you. I’ll be fine.”

Martin looked at Ethan. “Stay here. I’m going to get her back.” He said and quickly hurried out the room.

“Who the fuck has been taken tell me?” Ryu demanded raising to his feet.

Beau held up a finger shaking it lightly. “You know who has been taken and why. Hmm. Do you really think they just let you go simple because you used your little trick on them to get out? They had their reason you know for letting you go.”

“Let me out of here.” Ryu said in his special voice.

Neither Ethan or Beau moved to comply. Ryu stared at them. “How are you able to do resist me?”

“The door is open. You can step out any time.” Beau said. “Of course you won’t be going nowhere but a grave afterward. You got to understand. They didn’t let you go. Your the distraction. Jessica is the one they were after the whole time.”

“I could say the same thing about you.” Ryu pushed. “They didn’t just let you go. I’m stronger then you and I’ll only get-“

“I don’t give a fuck.” Beau said. “You maybe a strong young bad ass but all the same Ethan beat you and he’s a lot younger then you. Everyone has a peak and Ethan doesn’t need a party trick to lead. Me. I’m just cripple old man in a wheelchair. Your the enemy of our kind.”

Ryu narrowed his eyes on Beau. “Your reaching. I only do what I need to do to survive. I didn’t make Jess do anything she didn’t first want to do. Let me out of this cage. They won’t be strong enough to get her back without my help.”

Beau smiled at him. “What makes you believe I’m the one holding you in here?”

“You’ve fooled all of them good old man but not me. Your too damn powerful for your own good but I’m still the stronger.”

“Touch my family and you die.” Ethan said softly. “Why did you come here?”

Ryu smiled. “You got me that first go but-“

A spinning shield of metal appeared in front of Ethan as Ryu punched blue and red flames at Ethan.

The shield took on the fire channeling it into a warm hole inside the shield. Ryu cut off his attack and looked Beau.

Beau snapped his fingers and the device fell away returning to spare pieces of parts on the floor. He looked at Ethan who stood unsurprised. Ethan’s gaze was still focused on Ryu.

“Isn’t my power working on you?” Ryu asked.

Beau shrugged. “It is working on me. Ethan is the exception. He has some edge over you. In any case. If you want to get out of the cage alive to help rescue Jessica. You know what you have to do and who you have to give it to.”

“I’m not giving you a blow job.” Ryu said calmly.

Beau grinned. “I’m not looking from one at least not from you.. I’m not in charge here.” He said and nodded to Ethan.

Ryu glanced at him. “What you want Ethan?”

Ethan shook his head. “Nothing. My father and I will get back my sister back. I’m kicking you out. You can go be someone else’s problem.”

“Why did you suggest me joining up then? You suggested it because I’m a fucking bad ass power house.”

Ethan shrugged. “Yeah but you keep fucking around swinging your dick around like you own this place and the people here. Your ego is unwarranted. The problem isn’t that you want my sister. The problem is you think you can fuck with her mind and emotions and think I won’t kill you for it. We ain’t friends and I don’t like you at all. I will and I can kill you if need be. Nothing you say or do will change it. No one fucks with my family or my people. I would die for every last one of them. You should just leave Homeworld and go be a fucking king over some people willing to put up with your shit. I ain’t the one. I have never found you charming or likeable just useful. I tolerate you. I don’t like you.”

Ryu stared at him. “Damn. Well damn. Fuck me running. Alright. Boss. Please allow me to join the rescue mission. Please.” He said.

Ethan waved him up. “Let’s go asshole.”

Blue Technomancer CHAPTER 25

“Where the fuck is that legless old asshole.” Ryu snarled as he entered the lab.

Beau had a young woman on his lap while he was taking down her measurements for a suit. He held a finger up.

“Give me a minute Dragon.” Beau said.

Ryu snapped his fingers at the girl telling him to go with a head motion. She grimaced but nodded and gave Beau a kiss on the cheek.

“I want my suit in hot pink Honey.” The girl said as she got up.

Beau grinned at her. “I can’t wait to see you put it on and take it off when we go to bed when it’s done. Sugar.”

Sugar giggled. “You make it good enough. I’ll call you up on that Honey.” She blew him a kiss before hurrying out the doors.

Beau looked at Ryu. “I am not making you a suit.”

Ryu flushed. “You old fucking pervert. You got my….Jessica walking around in that skin tight. Lingerie. What the fuck is your problem Yo. You want to die?” He said.

“Hey” Jessica said a distance away as she came into the room.

Jessica had blue vail over half her face in place. Today, she was dressed in a dark blue skin tight uniform with a deer skin Homeworld jacket on. Beau waved her over toward them. “Your boyfriend has a problem with your uniform? Your looking by the way. Isn’t she guys?” He said calling everyone’s attention to Jessica.

Jessica walked over with a sway to her hips as lab members whistled at her in admiration. She blushed and came to stand between them and faced off against Ryu. “You need to stop. It’s just body armor. Beau designed it to curve to my body. It’s meant for protection.” She said.

Ryu stared at her. “The fuck?! I can see your fucking hard nipples and your fat ass jiggling.”

“I-I do not have a fat ass and I am not your girlfriend. What fuck are you harping on Beau for? I chose to wear his suit.” Jessica said crossing her arms across her chest to hide her breasts from his view.

“Hey now.” Beau said pulling them apart. He shook his finger at Ryu. “Jessica does not have a fat ass. Your being mean. She has a wonderful round delightful ass and a pair of crafted tities and a nice pair of legs.”

“You mother-” Ryu said as his eyes glowed. Fire came out of his mouth in gusts.

Jessica blocked his view of Beau and stood looking up at his face while her breast poked up against his chest. “Don’t attack my family.” She said.

“He ain’t no blood to you.” Ryu said looking past her to Beau.

Beau flipped him off. Ryu snarled out flames. Jessica grabbed his chin turning his head to her.

His flames breathed the flames on her face. Jessica stared back without fear. “My father calls him brother and he saved my family. He is Homeworld. He is my family. Family doesn’t hurt family. Ever! So stop being a jealous asshole. We aren’t a couple.”

“I can have you any time I want. Chicka.” He said wrapping his arm around her. Blue and pink flames wrapped around them.

Beau watched as Jessica’s eyes changed to lIght up with wild peach glow. She snarled like a cat and attacked Ryu. Jessica started kissing his face and lips. Ryu laughed as grabbed her ass. Beau started to form a 1911 pistol in his hand.

Suddenly, Ryu was pulled away from Jessica. He turned breathing out fire only to have his head snapping back from a uppercut to his chin. Ryu snarls as he swings his fist at his attacker only to hit air. His arm is twisted back as his head is driven down into Beau’s desk.

Ethan then let’s him up suddenly. Ryu looks at Ethan. “Stand do-ahh!”

Ethan kicks Ryu between the legs and downs him with a punch to the throat. Ryu is holding his throat choking and coughing. Ethan stares at him.

Ethan swings his leg and kicks Ryu in the stomach hard. Ryu gasps and cries out in pain. Beau held out his pistol to Ethan. “You need this? He may doesn’t understand the situation.”

Ethan shook his head. He looked down at Ryu. “You understand the situation, Ryu. Right? I can kill you at any time and any place if you step over the line again. Keep your fucking hands off my sister unless she is fine with you touching her. I’ll see you coming Ryu. I’ll kill you before you even act on it. Your not the Boss here. Your not the King. Your just another soldier here. You get out of line. I will end your ass at any time. You fire tricks don’t mean shit to me. I will end you.” He said softly. “You have two weeks in lock up for in subordination. Take your sorry ass to lock up and don’t say a word to anyone.”

“You piece of shit.” Jessica said before kicking Ryu in the testicles and walking out.

Ethan stared at Ryu as moaned. “Get your ass up and walk to lock up. I’m not saying it again.”

Ryu worked himself up with using the desk. Ethan moved forward. Ryu backs up and walks away carefully staring at Ethan and watchful of him as he exited the lab.

Blue Technomancer CHAPTER 24

Beau was in a new element and had decided it was time he reinvented himself. It was the end of the day and he was lying back on his new bed in his new apartment slowly drifting asleep as he planned to make the most of his new life. As his mind drifted into a peaceful sleep the scent of lavender and spice drifted close around him.

Martin Remo looked out over the city from his skyscraper office building. He wondered if he was making the right decision. He wondered still some times if Technomancer was just playing some long term game on him, just waiting to strike at Martin for fucking him over like he did.

“Dad. Your thinking to hard about this.” Jessica said from behind him.

He turned fixing a smile on his face that neither of his elder son Ethan or youngest adult daughter Jessica bought. He sighed. “What’s he look like?”

Ethan shook his head. “Not good. Three years of prison. Most of it in the hospital and two final years of being slaved to the government and he’s pretty used up. His mind is still there but his body is pretty broken.”

“Mr. Lucas’ mind is what I want for my team.” Jessica said stiffly sending her brother a side glare. “I don’t want him in any combat situation at all.”

Ethan smiled at her. “I meant. If he’s pretty used up physically then the Government won’t be looking when you grab him up from the street.”

“Your sure. He isn’t a government agent?” Martin asked.

Ethan sighed. “Dad. Everyone has abandoned him. His family. His friends. He’s barely holding on. I want to bring him in before he dies on the fucking street. He doesn’t deserve that.”

“We are not bringing him here as a charity case.” Jessica said. “We’re bringing him in for his mind and technical skills. We’ve checked him out. I need him on my team. The both of you need to stop thinking of the past. I need his engineering help. He isn’t under any government contract. I’m grabbing him up before someone else does. Besides the fact. We have no connection to him.”

Martin stared at her. “The government is still watching him. That’s why he’s hidden himself and is homeless on the damn street. He wants to appear useless to anyone so they’ll leave him the hell alone. If you invite him over into Homeworld that ends and he’s right back on their shit list.”

Ethan stared at him. “Your worried about him.” He said.

“Mr. Lucas is his own man.” Jessica said. “Let him decide how to run his own life. I’ll offer him a job…nothing more.”

Martin stared at her. “Don’t tell him about me. I know he will resent me for how his end of our deal turned up.”

His children stared at him. Ethan shook his head. “Mr. Lucas wasn’t expecting to live as long as he did. He knew-“

“-He didn’t know anything only that dealing with the normals ended up with him ending up dead along with his friends and people. I promised him I would come back for him.”

Jessica nodded. “Then keep your promise. All we’re going to do is offer him a job. He might surprise you and be happy we survived. That’s what he wanted.”

Martin turned away. “That would be worse. I would prefer his anger.”

“Why?” Ethan asked.

“Because it would mean I let a man that called me brother suffer at the hands of our enemies as a slave while he kept the secret that we lived to himself. I don’t understand a man like that. What little he gave us provided the start for Homeworld. While I left him just like the rest of those jackasses and that fucker Rider.”

“Your over complicating it.” Angel said. “The reason your afraid to bring him on is because of me. It’s the reason you haven’t looked at me yet sense I came into the room. You don’t have to worry Martin. You’re doing the right thing.. Your keeping your word.”

Beau conscious mind began to stir awake as he tried and failed see her clear enough to make her out in the dream. Angel was vague figure in the room no one looked at her directly. He sighed as he turned his mind back to the events in the dream that had already taken place.

Martin grimaced shaking his head. “You used me and lied to me about the expansion of your powers.” He said. “He’ll recognize you. He isn’t going to like you being here. Whatever your planning won’t work out.”

“I wouldn’t be so sure of that. Remember. I didn’t come looking for you. You hired me Martin. You need Techno on the team, Boss and another set of eyes on Ryu. He’s going to love working here.” She said in a totally female way.

Beau felt her look toward him and smile. Beau groaned at his immediate all male reaction.

“Alright Jessica go pick him. Angel get back to work.” Martin cursed softly.

Beau opened his eyes and sighed. “Damn it, Angel. You just made my female chasing a little more tricky. Fuck it. I can’t sleep now. I might as well get some work done.”

Beau was in a new element and had decided it was time he reinvented himself. It was the end of the day and he was lying back on his new bed in his new apartment slowly drifting asleep as he planned to make the most of his new life.

Martin Remo looked out over the city from his skyscraper office building. He wondered if he was making the right decision. He wondered still some times if Technomancer was just playing some long term game on him, just waiting to strike at Martin for fucking him over like he did.

“Dad. Your thinking to hard about this.” Jessica said from behind him.

He turned fixing a smile on his face that neither of his elder son Ethan or youngest adult daughter Jessica bought. He sighed. “What’s he look like?”

Ethan shook his head. “Not good. Three years of prison. Most of it in the hospital and two final years of being slaved to the government and he’s pretty used up. His mind is still there but his body is pretty broken.”

“Mr. Lucas’ mind is what I want for my team.” Jessica said stiffly sending her brother a side glare. “I don’t want him in any combat situation at all.”

Ethan smiled at her. “I meant. If he’s pretty used up physically then the Government won’t be looking when you grab him up from the street.”

“Your sure. He isn’t a government agent?” Martin asked.

The both of you need to stop thinking of the past. I need his engineering help. He isn’t under any government contract. I’m grabbing him up before someone else does. Besides the fact. We have no connection to him.”

Martin stared at her. “The government is still watching him. That’s why he’s hidden himself and is almost homeless on the damn street. He wants to appear useless to anyone so they’ll leave him the hell alone. If you invite him over into Homeworld that ends and he’s right back on their shit list.” He said.

Ethan stared at him. “Your worried about him.” He said seeing the tension his father’s body and grim expression.

Jessica straightened up and looked pointedly at her father. “Mr. Lucas is his own man.” Jessica said. “Let him decide how to run his own life. I’ll offer him a job…nothing more.”

Martin stared at her. “Don’t tell him about me. I know he will resent me for how his end of our deal turned up.” He said.

His children stared at him. Ethan shook his head. “Mr. Lucas wasn’t expecting to live as long as he did. He knew-” He began but Martin’s violent shake of his head made him pause.

“-He didn’t know anything only that dealing with the normals ended up with him ending up dead along with his friends and people. I promised him I would come back for him. That I would figure out a way to get him out of the mess. I didn’t keep my promise.” Martin said turning his back to his children again to stared out at the city.

Jessica nodded. “Then keep your promise now. All we’re going to do is offer him a job. He might surprise you and be happy we survived. That’s what he wanted.”

Martin smirked shaking his head in frustration. “That would be worse. I would prefer his anger.” He said.

“Why?” Ethan asked.

“Because it would mean I let a man that called me brother suffer at the hands of our enemies as a slave while he kept the secret that we lived to himself. I don’t understand a man like that. What little he gave us provided the start for Homeworld. While I left him just like the rest of those jackasses and that fucker Rider.” He said.

“Your over complicating it.” Angel said gentle. “The reason your afraid to bring him on is because of me. It’s the reason you haven’t looked at me yet sense I came into the room. You don’t have to worry Martin. You’re doing the right thing.. Your keeping your word.” She said with the hint of laughter in her voice.

Angel was vague figure in the room no one looked at directly. Beau couldn’t see her clear enough to make her out in the dream.

Martin grimaced. “You used me and lied to me about the expansion of your powers.” He said. “He’ll recognize you. He isn’t going to like you being here. Whatever your planning won’t work out.” He said.

“I wouldn’t be so sure of that. Remember. I didn’t come looking for you. You hired me Martin. You needed Techno on the team, Martin and another set of eyes on Ryu. He’s going to love working here.” She said in a totally female way.

Beau felt her look toward him and smile. Beau groaned at his immediate all male reaction. She was seventeen the last time he saw her now she would about maybe twenty two or three. She was showing a lot of maturity and growth in all the right places to bring a thirsty man like him down.

“Alright Jessica go pick him. Angel get back to work. You made your case. I still think your over estimating yourself and you should keep the hell away from him.” Martin cursed softly.

Beau opened his eyes and sighed. “Damn it, Angel. You just made my female chasing a little more tricky. Fuck it. I can’t sleep now. I might as well get some work done.”

Blue Technomancer CHAPTER 23

Beau rolled out of the van on the curb of Blue building that glowed with a tint of alien energy. He stared at it as Jessica came to stand beside him on the street corner. “I thought the government took this place down two years ago.” He said.

“It was deemed unsafe to do so by engineers and meta scientists.” Jessica said. “The corporation put in an offer and bought it and the neighboring builds at a steal. This is the main head courters of Homeworld ink. Are you ready to go in?” Jessica asked but then proceeded toward the entrance anyway.

Beau hesitated but then he rolled himself into the building in his wheelchair following close behind the round backside of Jenny. He caught himself staring at her long legs in open admiration and affection while he ignored the weird Dajivu feeling of entering the building he hadn’t seen or entered sense the last time he saw his old girlfriend and he knew his old life was gone.

The place had plenty of young Supers going in and out of it. They greeted Jessica warmly in friendly and very familiar ways as they pasted her. They gave him a passing look and nods.

Beau noticed the common logo on their dark brown leather jackets. It was a blue world logo on the breast pockets or biceps of the jacket. He took note of the atmosphere in the place. It reminded him of the old days being around Rider, E and the others. They had all left him behind and gone on too bigger and better things. While he had-

“Mr. Lucas. Welcome to Homeworld.” A man said.

Vlad

Beau froze recognizing the tone and thick Russian American accent of Vlad’s voice immediately. It was a shock to his system. He looked slowly to his right and up at a man he didn’t know in a grey suit and red tie greeted him with a smile and charm almost equal to Jessica. This man wasn’t Vlad. Yet, Beau knew for damn sure he was. The stranger held out his hand as he approached Beau.

Beau took his hand in a firm shake. “Hello. Mr…” He said and paused for Vlad to give him a name.

“Remo. Martin Remo. It is a pleasure to see you here. I take it your interested in joining Homeworld. We would be more then pleased to have a techno wizard like yourself on board.” Martin said.

Beau nodded his head slowly. “Yeah. Sure. I am. How are the rest of your kids. Everyone fine?” He said.

Martin smiled warmly. “They’re all fine and well brother. All working in the company. How have you been?” He said.

Beau shrugged and let go of Martin’s hand. “Life has been shit for me. Though I hadn’t expected to live as long as I have.. But, seeing how things have shaped up for you and your kids. I’m glad about the decisions I made. It was well worth the bullshit so don’t worry about it.” He said.

Martin stared at Beau and then he nodded taking out a thin cigar and lighting the end up. He blew out smoke out the side of his mouth. “My daughter. She’s into your field of work. We’re going to need you to help out her team with-” He said.

“Anything you need. I’m here to help. I can’t do anything for you combat wise but my mind and technical skills are yours.” Beau said immediately.

Martin paused and patted his shoulder. “You hid yourself well.. It took me longer then I wanted to find you. I didn’t think they would let you go brother. I do need you.” He said.

Beau waved away the comment. “Don’t worry about it. I would not change a thing of what I did. Well…maybe I would have acted a lot sooner.” He said and turned to Jessica who was wiping away a few tears. “Alright Miss Remo. Let’s take a look at your lab. Now I’m more then a little interested in whatever projects you have going on for me to check out. Lead the way.”

Jessica’s lips shook. “Mr. Lucas. I would like to thank you.” She said.

Beau held up a hand. “Thank me? For what? You need to be thanking your Daddy for the fancy business he’s provided for you and your siblings.” Beau said and looked around himself at the building and then at Martin’s grinning face. “I was told by your charming daughter you have an excellent selection of beautiful young females here.” He said.

Martin laughed and patted his shoulder. “Oh. Now I see why you came running down here.” He said.

“Damn straight, Boss. I came to go fishing for some pretty girls to charm the pants off.” Beau said.

Martin shook his head. “Don’t call me Boss, brother. This is your home now. You won’t have anything to worry about from now on. Now. I have meetings to get to. Jessica will take you down to the lab. I saw the light in your eyes lite for some work to do. You’ll get more then your fair share. Afterward she’ll give you the tour around the compound and your new apartment. Sounds good?” He said.

Beau nodded grinning. “Sounds like a fun time. I can’t wait to see this lab.” He said.

Beau paused at the entrance to the lab and stared at the virtual display of a soldier crutched to the ground with a high powered rifle with laser sights aimed at a target.

The soldier fired the rifle. The weapon jumped to the left wildly while the soldier remained still. He hit the target’s left edge.

A second later the weapon exploded in the soldier’s hands setting him on fire. Two soldiers then came with a thermo blankets and rolled the man over on the ground while trying to put out the fire.

The video then fades to black with the soldier laying on his back breathing heavily and cursing. The others just sat with him quiet.

Beau frowned as he wheeled himself inside as the screen changed to blue prints of the weapon. He studied the blue prints coming to stop in front of the screen. “Whose the designer and engineer?” He asked.

“Christopher Ivins created the design that utilizes Alien crystal energy. The engineer is Own Whetstone. He works for Homeworld.” She said.

Beau frowned. “Did he give any notes or objections to the rushed design and manufacturing problem?” He asked folding his hands together.

“Objections. Yes. He wanted five years more years to get it right. He said the core design was shit.” Jessica said.

Beau smiled. “I like him already.” He said.

“So you have nothing more to add.” A male voice asked.

Beau frowned at the voice recognizing the owner of it from some where. He turned and looked up to the man.

The fire breather looked back at him with recognition of who Beau was only annoyance. The man’s glowed with held back blue fire. That was different meaning this man had gotten stronger while Beau had gotten weaker.

It was an ego blow but the fire breather’s words made him think of something. Beau schooled his facial expression. “You called me to ask if I had a hand in it’s design. I thought of something like this when I was slaved to the government. They kept all my designs and scapes so it….hmm.” Beau turned from the man back to the screen again.

“What are you thinking?” The fire breather asked.

Beau didn’t want to say. His mouth opened though. “If you scape the core design and make it a automatic or semiautomatic then your problem is solved. I expect whoever sold the design to Homeworld wanted you to run through soldiers before you figured out it was all intentional.” He said.

“You have any dealings in it? The energy charged design fail? That’s what they paid you to do, right? Make sure designer weapons went boom at the right moment.” He said.

Beau frowned at the question. “Paid? What fuck are you smoking. It wasn’t a job. It was little more then outdoor prison slave labor. They just released me a couple of months back from my conscripted service. They told me to make things that worked. I don’t make shit. Our younger brothers and sisters are in for the longer haul then you or I. Their not not lucky like you are?” He said.

“Lucky? How am I lucky and how do you know me?” He said.

Beau smiled. “I had a friend a couple of years back. She had a nice ability of showing people possible death outcomes. I saw you burn me alive with that fire breathing trick of yours. But, really the reason why your so lucky is because your using your voice and power to control what I say. The trick with your power has a double edge to it. You can have what you want but no one alive or in this room should trust a man like you because they’ll never knew when you’ll ask them to kill themselves if they have an objection to you trying to screw their sisters and mothers in front of them.” He paused and looked at the fire breather again.

His eyes were normal now and he looked pissed off. Beau stared at him. “What’s your name?” He said.

“Ryu. Ryu Osuka. The Dragon King. I rock with lightning and fire.” He said in a heavily Americanized English accent.

Beau whistled and nodded his head. “That’s a fancy gangster rapper name. I’m Beau Lucas. My people call me Techno. I make toy robots and other techno gadgets. Nice to meet you formally.” He said.

Ryu grunted and looked at Jessica. “He’s good. I got to head on to work Shorty. Later.” He said sneaking a kiss on her cheek and a open ass grab before he headed out the door.

Jessica’s face was bright red with embarrassment and pleasure. She smiled at Beau. “Sorry about that. Ryu is..still very friendly type. He was here for security purposes. I hope you understand.” She said.

Beau sat back and stared at her. “So he’s still in the friend zone and can grab your ass that means I have a chance?” Beau asked with a wink and grin.

Jessica’s mouth was wide open on a surprise as Beau turned his gaze back to the blue print. “I suggest you take out the core and remodel the weapon to be automatic if you can get away with it. I can help with the design and engineering. The rest of the investigation stuff. I’ll leave that to hire ups. Now, I’m going to need the prettiest boss in the room to lead me around show me around this place.” He said turning to a shocked face Jessica. “That would be you right?!” She said.

Blue Technomancer CHAPTER 22

Beau heard the buzzing of his alarm clock go off on the floor beside. He reached for his bottle and brought it to his lips only to find it was empty. He sat on his futon bed and threw the empty bottle of Jack Danel’s against the wall smashing it against the white wall of his tiny closet apartment. His toy robots started waking up now he had to get up and use the bathroom.

He crawled to the bathroom, relieved himself and then washed up. When he was done he crawled back inside his bedroom and started getting dressed. He was dressed when he heard a knock on his door before it was opened with a keycard.

Two twin young men skin Supers came into his apartment. They glared at him. “Techno. Man. You drunk again?” Alex Wade asked him.

“Techno bro. This is to much.” Dexter Wade said.

Beau snorted shaking his head. “I had a bad night. I’m not drunk. I have hang over from last night. I’m ready to go. Just get my stuff ready. I got to make to make my rent and fill you two gentlemen’s pockets.” He said before he pulled himself up into his wheel chair. He smiled and reached down to carelessly roll up his futon over and then started wheeling himself to the door.

The two brothers said nothing but hurried to get a table and toys ready. Beau sighed wheeling himself to the elevator as his two friends and helpers got his table and box of merchandise. They took the stairs while he waited for the elevator to arrive.

It took a bit of time but soon enough the elevator arrived and the automatic doors opened up. A man in a dark suit and sunglasses was waiting for him. Beau wheeled himself inside nodding to the man. He spun around. “Could you hit the 1st floor.” He asked.

The man nodded silently hitting it and the doors closed. They were both silent as they went down stairs. The man in sunglasses turned to Beau. “Mr. Lucas. I take it.” He said.

“I’m not interested.” Beau said.

“I work with a particular organization that is interested in hiring you for your brilliant mind. A hundred grand a year plus benefits and an studio apartment.” He said.

Beau smiled. “Do you work for BlackWater?” He asked.

The man was silent. “Hmm. Yes. That is remarkably excellent guess on your part.” He said.

Beau shook his head. “I’ve had a lot of offers sense I’ve been let off from the government. You were the last one. I was expecting to come and a hundred thousandth a year sounds like minimum wage with today’s with the weight of inflations going. All I’m interested in is dying quietly and being left the fuck alone.” He said.

“If it’s the government having a problem with you working with us. I can assure you-” He began but stopped when Beau looked at him.

“I’ve seen you watching me for a bit of time. I also seen the fed your working with tailing me when I was trying to talk a good time girl into giving me a discount on head rub. I’m not interested in working for the government directly or indirectly anymore. No games. I just want to die quietly and be left the fuck alone. Sorry brother. I’m only interested in living quietly as much as I can. I don’t have that long on me and my days are pretty much drinking and trying not to think of anything to make to end myself. So with all due respect fuck off.” He said.

The elevator door opened and the man smiled taking off his sunglasses revealing his glowing mirrored eyes. “Good evening to you brother.” He said and walked away out of the elevtor.

Beau sighed and wheeled himself out toward the front of the apartment building on to the side walk where his two young friends had set up his booth and he wheeled himself over as his customers started coming up to his desk.

He smiled as a young girl with horn on her head came up with dollars in her hand smiling at him. He grinned at the girl. “How’s it going baby girl. I got your doll for you right here for you.” He said reaching over to a box with package on it and handed to her the box. The girl handed the money over to him and took the box with an excited giggle.

She ran over to her parents who stood off to the side with their hoodie’s up and face masks over the lower half of their faces. They nodded to him in thanks. He nodded and put the money in the box he kept the money.

Beau looked up to the clear blue skies and sun shinning down on him. He grinned.

“These are amazing. Did you make them yourself.” A charming feminine voice called to him.

Beau was half drunk but his mind focused on the genuine admiration at his skill in making the pet robots on the table. He had been sober for two months until he got the news they had put Rider in prison for two years but not before collaring his powers.

Rider was collared and put in to the general population. If he survived Beau knew his old friend wouldn’t know how to cope with the new world again once he got out.

E had called him to promise he would be watched but her words did little to ease his mind. It had taken E five damn years to find a means of halting Rider’s biological time bomb from going off.

“Excuse me. Sir.”

Beau shook himself out of thoughts of his friend and looked up at a young blond woman dressed in an leather jacket and jeans. She stared at him with sensual sky blue eyes that had a mystical glow about them. She had average looking face and easy going smile that hinted at ready sense of humor and brown chestnut hair that reminded him of his mother. She stared down at Beau with eyes that were mystical blue mirrors of concern as she studied his face.

“I sure did Darlin. I’m a straight up wonder with making things. It’s one talent I still have going for me that is of some use.” He said.

The Beauty held his gaze. “Your hero Technomancer.” She said.

It wasn’t a question it was more like a statement of fact like she already knew him and a whole lot more.

“So…are you a back sight?” He asked.

The Beauty shook her head. “No. I have employee at my company that deals in temporal patterns but I have a friend that pointed me toward you. You are a fine engineer. I could use you on my team.”

“I don’t work for the government…anymore. I mean my own business. I don’t want no trouble.” He said kindly to her.

“Pardon me. I forgot myself. I’m Jassica Remo.” She said and gave him a card.

Beau looked at the name of the company and her position. “Senior VP of Homeworld industry. Homeworld. Interesting name. What do you do at your company?” He said and then he noticed the logo on her earth world globe on her jacket.

Jessica smiled. “We consult for private parties and act as private security for clients in need of protection or otherwise.” She said.

Beau had heard of companies like her’s when he was in the service and had fought along side some of the agents of such companies. Mercenaries. Professional Mercenaries. Hired guns. Hell who was he to judge. He had done his time under contract with the government before they sent him to prison and after.

He just had one question. “Did someone send you to me?”

Jessica smiled. “Like a said a friend pointed me in your direction. We’re based in the city and Baltimore but have operations in Hawaii as well. There is room in board a decent paycheck and you’ll work with brillant ladies and gentlemen.”

“Did Rider send you or E. You have to tell me. I most know.” Beau said surprising himself by his old charm creeping back into his voice.

Jessica giggled. “You’ll have to come with me to find out. Though. I have a guess it will be surprising for you what your friend has accomplished over such a short time period.”

It had been five years sense he saw or heard from his old crew. Rider was busy doing his super hero thing and getting cartoon shows made after him and his early beginnings.

Angel.

Damn. He hoped it wasn’t her. All the same he didn’t know and he had to find out. Beau nodded. “Alright you talked me into it. I’ll go with you.”

“That’s excellent.” Jessica said with a smile. “When would be a good time for you to visit the-“

“Today would be good enough for me. I’ll travel with you. I got a bit a cash to spend on a ticket and I got nothing holding me here. I’m ready when you are.” Beau said quickly.
