Chapter 34

Beau was sitting in his wheelchair as he was being pushed inside Martin’s office by Jessica. Ryu and Angel were walking behind them silently. Martin had his back to them and he was standing facing his office window looking out over the city. He had his jacket off and lay on his messy desk. Martin’s hands were clasped behind his stiff straight back.

Beau held up a hand stopping Jessica from pushing his wheelchair any further. “What’s the situation looking like with the normal’s leader? What do they want?” He asked.

Martin laughed. It sounded forced and a little nervous to Beau.

Martin shook his head and sighed. “Well brother to be honest it’s not looking good. Not looking good at all. I’m sure Jessica told you a bit of the situation that is building up. They want you back in the core to run and lead special team supers units. They’re kicking themselves for letting you go I would guess.” He said.

Beau shook his head. “You mean they want to take me to the lab again. I expect they want to break open my body to see what secrecy they didn’t find the last several times.” He said with edge to his voice.

Martin was quiet. “Are you joking or did that really happen?” He said calmly.

Beau shrugged. “I have a high tolerance to pain. It was before the new laws were passed. They used the time to get me to make shit for them. It is what it is. It’s not your fault brother.” He said.

“Ryu!” Martin said.

“He’s not lying. They opened him up like can of beans and dug into his body between making him make weapons. He went crazy after they broke him.” Ryu said behind Beau.

Beau snorted looking back at Ryu. “You are being a very dramatic little kid about it. I knew what I was getting into and I won. They didn’t get what they wanted and I got to see my people survive. I won.” He said.

Ryu shook his head at Beau. “Your fucking insane.” He said.

“Shut the fuck up, Ryu!” Martin said in a sharp cold tone. “You’ll mean your find fucking your tongue when you’re talking to my brother or I’ll cut it out.” He said.

Beau snorted as Ryu paled at Martin’s sharp words. “You’re not as much of bad ass as you think are kiddo.” He said to Ryu and then he looked at Martin’s stiff back. “Brother. Things will get messy for our people if I stay here. These people don’t give a fuck about sending our own kind against us. I’m willing and able too keep on fighting but not at the cost of what you’ve built here.” He said.

Martin was quiet. “Give me some time to work this out brother.” He said.

Beau sighed. “Martin. I can disappear if they’re hard up on having an experimental rabbit again. You don’t have to-” He said but stopped.

Martin turned around and sung his fist down breaking his desk in half with his fist. He glared at Beau before his face relaxed slowly. He smiled at him. “Just give me some time. I know what will happen if you run. They’ll find and then they’ll finally break you and won’t leave anything for us to bury or give your family. I heard your sister came to see you here once. You need to think about reconnecting with your family brother. Family is everything.” He said.

Beau sighed. “Alright. Alright. You handle it.” He said.

“I need your word on it brother.” Martin said.

Beau nodded. “Of course. You got my word. I’ll let you handle them. I won’t do anything until you resolve it how ever way you can.” He said.

Martin nodded and straightened up. “Thank you brother. Your trust in this means everything to me. ” He said.

A sound went off in Beau’s jacket pocket. Suddenly, Beau was standing on newly made metal legs. He turned putting his back to Martin and extended out his hand. Blue electrical energy blasted from his hand striking an invisible enemy. The electrical blasts continued until a blue creature with bat like wings lay on the floor visible. Her small breasts were bare as was the rest of her body. She was naked but for a pair knee high boots.

“Beau Lucas. I should have expected you would get stronger.” The creature said and then spat at Beau.

Beau chuckled. “Nicole Jones. Fancy you here love. It’s been some time. Your still full of surprises. It wasn’t smart of you coming here. But then again you were never strong in that field at least.” He said.

“Bastard!” Nicole spat at him.

Ryu stood with his back to Jessica and pushed her back away from the creature. “Who the fuck is this bitch. A friend of yours?” He said.

“I know who she is.” Martin said coldly.

Martin moved in front of Beau with a pistol in his hand. He glared down at the creature. “She worked for me at one point back in the past as spy and assassin. You took a big risk coming here to kill us.” He said.

Nicole snickered and came to her feet in one flowing motion. She wasn’t hurt. “I didn’t come here to kill you Vlad. I came here to convey a message to you from the sisters. Your over reaching into their market. It’s time you walked away before you and legless over here get pushed out of the way.” She said.

“The Sisters!” Martin said in a cold tone. “Really?! Well I think it’s time I sent a message to your bosses.” He said.

Beau touched Martin’s shoulder. “Easy, brother. I don’t like this.” He said.

Martin froze. “What are you thinking? A trap of some kind.” He asked.

Beau frowned at Nicole who was grinning at him. “If she’s working for the sisters then you know they’re working a angle with her even being here. They know us to well and they’re working their powers on this situation to fuck us over. Let her go. I have to get to work on the security system fast and upgrade our defenses. Killing her would only work to their plan.” Beau said.

“The fuck!? Let her go. The fuck you say. Kill this bitch.” Ryu said.

Martin sighed. “Nicole get your ass out of here. I got your message. I’ll move how I want to and when I want too. Fuck off.” He said.

Nicole laughed. “You’ve changed letting other people think for you.” She said pushing him.

Beau snorted and then he brought out a device and flashed a beam of light on Nicole. She screamed a few seconds and then she was gone. Martin looked at him. “Did you kill her!” He asked in a tone without judgment or care.

Beau shook his head. “I just sent her away from here. It’s something I’ve been working on it’s still in the experimental trial stage. I’ll get to the lab and start work on security upgrades. You’ll need to think of something quickly brother. If the sisters are getting this direct with their attacks we’re short on time to react.” He said.

Martin nodded putting away his pistol in his holster. “What do you suggest line of thinking I take?” He asked.

Beau grimaced shaking his head. “Think of something outside of the box of your normal thinking. I’ll work to enhance your idea any way I can.” He said and then looked at the communicator of homeworld attached to Martin’s dress shirt pocket. He pointed to the pin. “Homeworld. That’s an interesting name for a company. Why did you come up with that name?” He said.

Martin frowned shaking his head but then froze. He nodded his head. “I have to do some thinking and talk to some people. I think I know what your getting at but the plan will require planning and timing.” He said.
