Chapter 12

Beau finally made his way to the emergency roof top and took his position on the roof of the office building. He set his rifle case down focused his gaze on Vlad’s building as he started to load his rifle but he heard a sound behind himself. He turned with his 1911’s drawn.. Beau stared in surprise at his target.

Vlad Morgan was a tall Russian American dressed in a blue blazer suit that matched the the tint of his hair and eyes.

“Good morning Vlad.”

Vlad held up a wine glass with orange juice in his hand. He took a sip. “Good morning Technomancer.”

“It’s Lucas. You weren’t behind me a few seconds ago and you can’t fly. So how did you manage that trick?” Beau said.

“Your impressed.” Vlad asked him.

Beau smiled. “Yes and I’m thinking about how to steal your trick.” He said.

Vlad nodded and leaned back against something invisible behind him. “Take a guess. I’m sure you can figure out if you think about it.” He said.

Beau looked around then found the projector sending the image of Vlad to him. He frowned and bent down to put his rifle away. “I’m guessing you found out about the message the government sent to my people.”

“Bingo. Technomancer. One of my kids has a similar ability as your young friend. Angel. I believe is her name.”

Beau sent him a glare. “It would better if you disappeared a while before I would have to take you out.”

Vlad smiled. “Your reluctant, huh? You are a strange one, Technomancer. I have no intention on leaving my city.”

Beau stared at him. “The President wants you dead for whatever crimes you committed. You stick around long enough I’m the one assigned to make it happen.”

Vlad nodded. “So the supposed the United States leader is planning on taking back the city and unstable country in one move. You and Rider will be out of the hero business afterwards and you’ll be shipped off to soldiers in their new slave warriors division. Though then again with the powers you have they might just put a bullet in you.”

Beau hadn’t heard of anything relating to what Vlad was saying. He suspected it was all bullshit but he wasn’t much surprised by anything anymore. “You should think about your kids and females and find some way to get out before I have to make them orphans.”

Vlad stared at him. “It’s not the same world brother. No matter what deal they’ve given you. You’ll only end up screwed over. It’s been what? Six months sense they locked us away in this city. Now they’re deciding to let us out you think it’s that easy.”

Beau shook his head. “Never said I was expecting they would accept us. They’ve got the power. If you stay here. You die and your kids are left for someone else to protect. Think about your kids.” He said.,

“I am.” Vlad said. “I know what’s happening outside this city. I know what the president has in mind for us. I’m not going to be shipped off to some fucking ghetto after what I made and the comfortable position my kids are in to have that all taken away because the bitch in the white house is afraid of the blue skin folk.”

Beau was quiet. He could see Vlad couldn’t be convinced by anything he said. He was to far invested in what he was doing to back down.

“Whatever happens I’ll try my best to look out for your kids.” Beau said.

Vlad grimaced. “You should be more concerned about Angel’s well being then trying to kill me.” He said.

“She’s a child. She’s off limits.” Beau said calmly.

“Not me. It’s her powers. It’s the one thing that doctor of yours didn’t tell you. The more you use her powers to see your own future the more you can expect her life span to be shorter then yours. I can help her find the answer to controlling her powers.” Vlad said.

Beau smiled. “I already know that slick. You’re not telling me anything I don’t know already.” He said.

“Did you your the reason she’s dying? It’s your powers that making her go into over load. I have the solution to it. If you work with me.” Vlad said.

“Tell me.” Beau demanded.

Vlad smiled and nodded. “I was right about you. Your way more reasonable and honest then the others. I’ll contact you later when your ready to make a deal.” Vlad said before his protected image faded before him.

Beau caught a building flickering in the distance. He got up and then thought about how he had gotten to the building’s roof. He couldn’t remember when he had gotten to the roof top or anything else.

He realized. He was having a premonition dream of the future. Angel. she had locked him in vision bubble.
