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.

“Ethan. Report.” Martin called to his eldest son.

Ethan was frantically searching around panicked and ignoring his call.

Ryu was quiet. He said nothing.

“Qade. What are you seeing? Where’s your sister?”

“Their alive but their bodies have been shocked with some type tazar or electrical weapon. Jess isn’t here. Probably the team that hit em took Jess…Wait. Someone is here? Wow!”

Suddenly, Technomancer appeared in front of the unit like he had stepped out of nothing. He waved a hand and their weapons flew out of their hands. “Jessica is back at Homeworld. I sent her back with Angel and the agents.

“Boss. Can you check it out?!” Ryu asked over the radio.

Martin was already patching into Angel on his phone. The call picked up and Jessica’s face smiled at him. “I’m fine Daddy. Beau got me out.”

Martin opened his mouth but stopped when Ethan started laughing.

Martin turned his gaze to his footage. He stared as Technomancer stood facing off against Ethan.

“You should have let Ethan go.” Technomancer said.

Ethan pointed a finger at Technomancer. “Ryu. Kill him.”

Ryu jumped forward taking a breath and was down on the floor shaking from electrical shock wave from Technomancer’s hand. The others stood back.

Ethan stared at Technomancer. “Listen…ah!” He screamed as Shockwaves rocked through his body making him fall down and then change. Martin watched realising what he was seeing and that….his son was dead. This thing on the ground wasn’t his boy. This thing, this asshole had killed his boy. It hit him hard but he set it aside.

“Qade.” He spoke.

“Yes Sir. What are your orders?”

“Get Ryu up. Pack up the team and leave that shit bag on the floor for Beau to deal with.”

“But..Dad. he’s killing-“

“That piece of shit on the floor isn’t my son and Beau wouldn’t be harming him if it was. We have Jessica back for now that’s all that matters. Move out.” He said and got to his feet.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Blue Technomancer CHAPTER 21

Chapter 21

Beau woke up on a stiff cool steel surface and released instantly where he was and what was about to happened. He was tied down to the table.

Men and women in white masks and white medical operation outfits. They had told them were going to need to have a look at his body to get a idea for what happened to him and if they could replicate it and made body armor for their special soldiers.

“Mr. Lucas. I am Doctor Miranda McDonnell. I will be handling your procedure this morning to find out the damage the alien did to your body and then we can figure out how to best to help you-” She paused as I began to laugh at her.

“Let’s get to it sexy. It’s been a while sense I’ve danced with death.” Beau said.

There was a moment of silence that followed that lasted more then a few minutes. The four doctors stared at him in confusion.

“Mr. Lucas. We will be making a discovery mission only in this procedure. That will last no longer or less if possible then four hours. You were told about this procedure and agreed to it?” She said.

Beau grunted. “I’m not making fuss sexy about the situation I’m in. It is what it is? I would rather you not bullshit around with me about it. I’m the property of the United States Government. They have every right to do anything to my body. Will you put me to sleep during the process?” He asked with a hopeful note in his voice.

“You have been given a pain reliever. You won’t feel any pain.” She said.

Beau doubted that shit much. Pain relievers didn’t work on him anymore. Another bullshit side effect that he had as by product of his mutation. She must be a rookie? He thought. She was about to learn the facts of life right here and now.

“Is there any possibility I get some music to listen to?” I asked.

“Yes. I did bring some music to play. I hope you like classical.” She asked.

Beau hated classical music but he nodded his head. “Play sugar.” He said.

“Echo! Play Ludwig Van Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony.” Miranda said.

Beau stared up at the fluorescent lights as he listened to the music begin. His eyes teared up as he felt the blade cut into his chest.

Tears flowed down his cheeks as he stared up at the lights. He pictured his Rider and Angel in his eyes. The music continued on and on flowing from one song to the next. The pain. The pain was intense but it was as much as the day he had first died and been reborn as mutant blue face freak. He smiled in laughter.

Two Years later…

Beau lay on the floor unresponsive as his guard kept pumping his chest to keep his heart going. He didn’t know why they bothered he didn’t much care that he was feeling his broken body finally shutting down until he heard the sound of classical music over the income and recognised it as Bach’s music.

He smiled and wondered maybe. Just maybe if he lived a little longer. Another year at the most and then he could hope to see Rider again. He remembered that E had finally been allowed to visit him and told him about her possible cure for Rider. She had it but she wasn’t there all the way perhaps he could think of something. Yes. He had to live a little longer to help Rider live.

That’s what he would do. Beau decided to live just a little longer. He had something to hold on to for now. Something he had to do. He had to work with E to get the device working to nullify the effects of his mutation. It was a way that could help him out.

Five years later….

Beau pushed his wheelchair into the Major Benjamin’s office. The Major stared at his shaky form and pale face and skinny body.

“You did a good job in helping with the new cure and collar program for your kind.” He said.

Beau said nothing he just stared at him and waited for him to be given all the platitudes. Major Benjamin smiled at him. Beau frowned at him. “Can I go back to my cell now?” He said.

Major Benjamin’s smile fell away. He straightened up as he stood over Beau. “Your military service is done Mr. Lucas. You have received an honorable discharge. When you leave this room you will be given the clothes you were given. Your penchant is still active and your time here you will be paid for and you will be shipped to the destination of the mutant district in Baltimore Maryland. Thank you for your service.” He said and saluted him.

Beau didn’t believe a word that was said but he returned the salute to Major Benjamin. The behind me opened up. I let my salute fall as I leaned back in my chair. Strong hands took hold of the handle of my chair behind me and the man started to turn me around.

“Alright. Mr. Lucas. I will be your ride out of this place. We will stop by your room and get your stuff and be on our way to Baltimore, Maryland.” He said in deceptively delightful sounding voice that gave off a positive energy and power in his tone.

That was it then it seemed. He was wheeled around and out of the room toward the room. He sighed. Five years. Five damn years of hell. He thought he was going to die in the place on the floor struggling to breath.

Beau was rolled into his room/office. A box was on his small bed. The guard behind Beau wheeled him over to the bed. Beau picked up his box putting it on his lap to see his stuff inside and short note inside.

I told you I would get you out. Don’t lose yourself brother. – E

Beau smiled as he was wheeled out of the room. He felt it then. He was broken, beaten but he still had friends and people that hadn’t forgotten about him.

Chapter 20

“What the fuck is this?” said the male mutant that was supposed to kill Beau

Beau turned to the fire and lightning breather. “This us turning ourselves in. It’s what you and the government came in here to do. Take us in.”

“Your fucking around.” The Fire breather said. “Your just fucking with us to hide your power. I’ve seen the footage of you and Rider in action.”

Beau smiled. “You sound a bit fearful. What’s a matter son? You afraid your staring at your future.”

The fire breather took out his gun and shot Beau in the chest. The bullet knocked Beau back in his seat. Beau hissed. “Son of bitch that hurt.” He gasped out and spat blood on the floor. He smiled at the Fire breather. “You must be the mercenary of the group.”

“Beau! What the fuck happened? You son of a bitch.” E said moving out of her chair and fell to the floor. “Damn it. Damn it.” She pounded her fists on the floor. “What the fuck is happening? Tell me!”

“I’m fine. Calm down. Sit down and don’t get up again.”

“Mr. Lucas. Could you explain the situation with you and your friend’s mutations.” Major Benjamin asked.

Beau pulled himself up with one arm. “The fall out of the alien’s radiation damaged our bodies in different ways. I-I died the first day and was brought back barely in this form with no legs or ability to barely function without the powers. Even then I’m limited to the time I have to spend using the powers. I’m in consent pain from using the radiation to form legs and two weeks ago I lost fifty percent ability in my right arm.

My sister behind me lost her sight and some movement functions after the blast. She can use the radiation to see blurry images of individuals forms but she can’t see in 20/20 or anything near that vision. She’s blind. It’s common for the Supers hit hardest in the hell zone to have handicapped abilities.” Beau said and looked at the fire breather. “Where you in the city when the alien landed on us?”

The fire breath frowned. He said nothing. Beau nodded though.

“You have side effects to then. You either don’t know about them or your covering them up. It’s no use living that way. Reality is still reality.” Beau said.

“What side effects does Lightning Rider have then?” Major Benjamin asked. “He seems to have more stability then you and the-“

“He’s dying.” Beau said bluntly. “Rider will be dead in less then five years because of the radiation and heart failure. He’s on borrowed time. So he has to make the most of his time before he goes. All of the people the president had on the podium have side effects of some kind that will shorten our life spans. Major. Is there a cure or some type of hospital care we can get in jail or whatever place your taking us to.”

“Stop lying to them.” E said. “There is nothing wrong with eh.” E stopped talking because she went into a coughing fit that lasted several minutes until she stopped to catch her breath slowly. “Damn it.”

Beau stared at Major Benjamin. “Is there any way you can help us? We’re willing to go to prison or do whatever service you need us to do. But, we would like some medical assistance. We’ve been surviving and waiting months for the government to let us the hell out of here so we can get treatment of some kind.. We can’t go on like this. This like a slow fucking painful death for most us.” He said.

Major Benjamin shook his head. “I’m sorry son but I can’t guarantee anything right now. We’ll take you in and I’ll talk to my supervisors for you and your friend. Once they see how serious your situation is something will have to be done. One last question before we go. What about the tunnels?”

Beau shrugged shaking his head. “We searched them and made contact with people left down there. Anything above sub ground level is dangerous enough. You go below and it’s a different world with even more deadly mutations. They die like flies down there. They want to be left alone to suffer quietly. You won’t be able to open the subway system again right now if not a hundred years from now. Can you please take us away from this place?”

Major Benjamin straightened and nodded to his people who put their weapons down. “Are you ready to leave?”

Beau snorted in laughter. “Sir. I’ve been ready to leave this prison island five months ago. If they put me in a prison hole it will be better then being in a place I’ve seen my friends die in my arms from radiation poisoning. Let’s go.”

The First day

Beau woke as he was being wheeled down a white hall way. He looked around but E was gone. He was alone. He looked behind to see a muscled guard in grey uniform pushing down the hall way toward a black door with the letters BT on it.

Beau noticed a few things. 1) The pain his legs was down to low ache. He could hear whispers behind the other closed doors to his left and right. 2) There was a strange buzzing sound coming from the florescent lights above his head. It hurt his ears to hear and made the hair on his arms stand up at attention. The last and most important thing he noticed a part of him was missing. His powers were gone. But something was off about it. He still felt it. Something of that power an echo of some kind was in his mind.

He was quiet as he neared the door and it slide open to reveal a office room with computer workstation and a single sized bed on the floor to the near wall. It was small space.

The wheeled him inside and then placed a black folder in his lap. Beau picked up and opened it to see a set of projects he would be assigned to finish for the current month for a series of weapons and technical advancements to weapon systems.

Beau knew he could get them done by the end of the month. He just wondered if he could get away with imputing melfunctions into the medels without them noticing.

“You can’t!” The guard answered hearing his thoughts.

Beau didn’t look up. “Do you know anything about weapon designs or have a degree in engineering?”

“No. But I can read your mind from a mile away and know when your planning on bullshiting the normals. I would ordered to terminate you.”

Beau nodded. “Well then sense you can’t help me with my work you take your fat ass out of my cell so I can get to work. Like you said you don’t need to be in my way to read my mind so get the fuck on bitch.”

The guard was quiet but then turned and left the room. The door slid closed and Beau heard a loud audible heavy lock fall in place on the door.

Chapter 19

Beau and Jay exited the tunnels near the spot they had come in. He looked back once while Jay walked ahead to where Angel, E and Rider were waiting for them.

The two mutants tall black cloaked that had led him the way bowed to him. Beau nodded to them.

“Stay out of trouble guys.” He said and turned to walk toward his friends. E was studying him while Rider glared at him.

“What the fuck did you do?” Rider asked.

Beau shrugged. “Did you find the targets?”

True snorted. “We found shit and dick all. Their hide outs were blown the fuck up. It will take us months to dig em out. How the fuck did you do it?”

Again Beau shrugged. “I did what needed to be done. They’re not around so-“

“What the fuck about Vlad’s kids?” Rider demanded. “We weren’t supposed to touch them.”

Beau shook his head. “I didn’t kill anybody. Least of all Vlad’s kids. Your assuming a lot buddy. E your quiet what’s on your mind?”

E stepped forward. “What have you done? Your not a smart man. What’s the game, hero?”

Beau shook his head. “I’m not a hero and there is no plan. I did what needed to be done. Anything else that happens next is up in the air. Follow my lead from on.” He said and turned to Rider.

Rider was frowning at him. “Beau. What’s going on? Did you kill those kids?”

“You know the answer to that question if you know me. If they ask you who did it. Tell them it was me and you tried to stop me but I tricked you and did it on my own. Do you understand?” He said.

Rider shook his head. “I don’t. Why do you want me to lie. I won’t lie. Your a good man. You would never do that. Why are you doing this?” He said.

“Your so stupid.” E said spat out at Rider.

Rider turned and glared at her. “What?!” He said.

“He’s trying to protect you. To keep you safe. All you have to do is-” E said.

“I won’t lie! I know what will happen if I do it. They’ll lock him up or worse. Beau isn’t a murder and I won’t say otherwise for reason and not to protect my own ass.” Rider said.

E looked at Beau. She froze. “They’re coming for you tomorrow aren’t they?” She said.

Beau shook his head. “US. They’re coming for us tomorrow. I thought I might as well give em a reason. After tomorrow night. I don’t know what will happen.”

Rider shook his head. “No. No. That’s not right.”

“It is what it is. They’ll offer you a job. You need to take it and work it until they let me go. Otherwise they’ll kill me.” Beau said.

“Damn you. It’s not going down like this. It’s not supposed to.” Rider said almost to himself.

“So you’ll do it then.” Beau said. “Your a hero. My hero at least. You got to keep us alive. So you have to work with them.” He said.

“Damn it. It wasn’t supposed to go down like this.” Rider said almost in tears.

Angel smiled and looked at Beau snd her smile froze in place. “Beau. You-“

“Your father got a job in Baltimore after the blockade comes down you’ll be moving there.” Beau said. “It’s going to be new start. Remember your promise.” He said.

Angel could only stared at him but she nodded her head slowly. “Yes. I remember my promise.” She said.

Six days later……

Beau watched from the sidelines while Rider and Artemus were offered job offers by the President and generals. “I’m couple days late. But I think it’s going to go down in a few hours.” Beau said.

“What the hell are you going to do Beau?” True Steel asked.

Beau shook his head. “Don’t worry about me True. I’m good.” He said.

“Is this going to be okay? Rider a mean joining them. I don’t trust it. I don’t like it even more with the way they just snubbed you off and ignored you and what you did for them.” True Steel asked him.

Beau glanced at E. She glared at Rider’s profile. “We’re not giving him to them. He’s just on loan. Eventually they cut him loose.” He said.

E finally looked at Beau. “On loan until what? He gets bored of being a hero?” He said.

Beau stared at her. “Until we find a damn a cure for him or before he becomes an issue for them. Until then we’ve got work to do. True.” He said.

“What do you need me to do?” True asked.

“Watch out for him for me. I won’t be around for some time.” Beau said and looked around toward the people getting ready to head out of the city and he nodded to Jay and Freya Newton.

He walked quickly over toward them. Angel sat in the backseat of a van not looking at Beau. He held out his hand to Jay. “I’m going to miss you Brother and your family. Thank you for all you did. I won’t forget it.” He said.

Jay took his hand in a firm shake. “Thank you Mr. Techno. We’re grateful to you for all you’ve done to keep us alive. We won’t ever forget you. Angel. Well she’s still a bit sore about us moving to Baltimore but-“

“Call me Beau. She’ll understand as she gets older.” Beau said. “You got to look out for your best interests and with most of the Blues migrating there you’ll have support and people that look like you watching your back.”

Jay seemed to relax for some reason and let go of his hand. “I couldn’t have said it more. Do you intend on joining the Supers as we move there?” He asked.

Beau shook his head. “No. I got business to finish up here and then I’m retiring from the public life. I’ll leave the heroic work to Rider. He has the face and temperament for it.” He said.

The window to the car opened. Angel looked at him. “Come with us.” She said.

Beau shook his head. “No. It’s time I went a little quiet for a bit and save you some nightmares. I want you to think about going to school and getting a degree in something useful. I’ll be alright.” He said.

Angel shook her head. “No you won’t. Mr. Rider is gone. Doctor E is gone to. Once I’m gone you’ll lose it.” She said.

Beau chuckled. “Maybe. But it’s time we parted for some time. We can’t all be together anymore. I’ll see you.” He said turning away and walking back to E’s office.

“Beau. Beau. Don’t go. It’s-” She said.

“Don’t worry so much.” Beau said and waved her off. He entered the office. It was filled with two squads and E sat at the back drinking a glass of wine.

Beau walked over calmly grabbed his wheelchair and sat down. His legs fell away turning to metal pieces on the floor. He sighed feeling relief after days of pain from walking.

“Fucking shit. That’s better.” He said.

E poured him a glass of wine and tried to hand it to him but his hand shook. She held it and put it to his lips giving him a sip and he nodded his thanks as she took it away.

Beau turned to the major Benjamin. “Major. What’s the fuss about?” He said in a tired voice.

The Major frowned. “If you try to make a weapon we will have to-“

Beau nodded. “I know. I know. No chance of that for a week if ever again. I’m out of energy but it will to keep the pain back. But, please get to the reason your here.”

Major Benjamin grimaced Beau’s arm fell limp at his side. “What’s happening to you? You look like you need a doctor son. Your falling apart.” He said with concern in his voice but he still had his hand on his pistol as he stared at him and E.

Beau shook his head. “I’m not falling apart. This is my normal state. Nothing for you to worry about. My arm is healing slowly.” He said.

“Your being overally dramatic.” E said and then blinked and grimaced. “Damn it.”

The squad frowned drawing their guns. Beau shook his head. “She’s just lost her vision for a bit. Major Benjamin. Please get to the point.” He said.

“We’re here to tie up loss ends. You need to come with us.” Major Benjamin said.

“Alright. We’ll talk about it and answer whatever questions you got to give us. We’re ready to leave afterward to go and do whatever your demand for us to do.” Beau said.

“I’m not going-” E said and then started coughing.

“Be quiet.” Beau told her. “You can’t even see a damn thing in front of your face. They got the guns and we can’t do anything about it and you need help. You can’t go on like this.” Beau said.

“Damn it.” E cursed as her gaze was unfocused and she glared at nothing.

Beau turned to the Major. “We’re ready to turn ourselves in to answer for whatever crimes you said we committed and face the punishments. Just please get us the hell out of here.” He said.

Chapter 18

Beau and Jay traveled in to the tunnel not meeting anyone for half an hour and then darkness took them under. The next time they awoke they were in cell of cobbled stones around them. Their hands weren’t tied. Beau but their weapons and gear was gone. They wondered what the hell was going on and strange feeling or forced that kept them quiet and sitting on the floor for hours and then once again darkness took them under.

Beau and Jay sat at the feet of the giant snapping turtle who sat against his cell wall. He stared down them with rye smile on his thick full lips.

Beau frowned. “Your not human are you?” He said.

The larger humanoid turtle shook his head. “No. I was once different but like you I was changed. They call me the Sage. I am the only one of my kind down here though I expect my kind have been mutated in other parts of the human surface world. They call you the Techno wizard though Beau Lucas would be a more correct name for what you do. But, that is not your name. You are Beau Lucas. A warrior. A inventor. You came to our realm to destroy my kind.”

Beau frowned at him. “You sure about that last part.” He said.

Turtle paused and chuckled. “I see your point. I would not be your prey you would kill or hunt. But, my tribe is a mixed one. So I see a kill of one as a kill of myself.” He said.

Jay stared at him. “So you can read our thoughts?”

The turtle nodded his head slowly.

Beau studied him. “How many mutant animal humanoids are there down here?” He asked.

“Enough and it is not the question you wish to ask but I answered your unspoken question. You can not defeat us. This is our home and where we wish to be left alone to be what we are.” He said.

Beau smiled. “It’s not mind reading. You just know how to understand our thought process and predict what we might say. Have you learned how to read and taught some of the others?” He said

The Sage nodded. “Are you like me. Answers easily come to your mind comes that are reasonable. Why have you come? You want something.” He said.

Beau nodded. “Yes. I have questions about the powers and my condition.” He said.

The turtle nodded grimacing at him. “Your mind is far more valuable then your fake legs or toys. Powers. As you call them are risky at best to long health and the mind.”

“I have a daughter that can see the future.” Jay said. “What will her powers do to her mind?”

“No one can see the future.. What outcomes does she see and does she have a mate?” The mutant asked.

“She doesn’t have a mate? She’s sixteen. She can see outcomes of the people around her.” Jay said.

“The people around her or the people that are her tribe?” He asked.

Jay frowned at his question. “The people around her that matter to her.” He said.

The giant turtle looked at Beau. “You are silent. Is there something you wish to add?” He asked Beau.

“His daughter can also loan her power over to other people to see their possible outcomes.” Beau said carefully.

Jay frowned at him but was silent. The turtle nodded. “She will be in danger from consent use and will need to learn to control over her ability. Her mate will also need to learn control because he might draw to much energy from her over time.” He said pointedly to Beau.

“She doesn’t have any mate or boyfriend or anything.” Jay and looked at Beau.

The turtle was silent. The silence lasted. Jay finally looked at the Sage. “Why do you say she has a mate?” He asked.

“All mutants. Whether human mutants or mutant humanoid develop pair bonding with similar kind. It is normal and our natures gravitate to similar like minded equal to balance us. There is no exception. This is the gift the travel gave to us along with her powers.” He said.

Beau frowned at him. “Who is this travelor?” He asked.

The Sage stared at him. “The creature that came to our planet to die and granted us a new birth with her powers being imputed to us after her death.” The Sage said.

“What the hell is he talking about?” Jay asked.

Beau shook his head staring at the giant Mutant. “It doesn’t matter. What matters is Angel. Sage is this mate thing for everyone mutant like me and Jay as well for your kind?” Beau asked.

The Sage nodded. “Yes. No exceptions.” He said.

“No expections?! What about yourself?” Jay excused.

The Sage stared at him. “There is no exception.” He said then turned to Beau. “Now. Beau, what will you tell the surface leaders?”

“I’m up for any ideas that will not get me or my friends killed. I’ve seen to many outcomes already to know I need advice.” Beau said.

Jay glared at him. Beau looked back at him and Jay flinched back. “We’ll talk about this later. Right now.” He said and looked at the Sage. “You were a bit right about the reason I came to see you but you answered my real question. Thank you. You’ve saved a young girl’s life.”

The Sage was quiet and then he nodded his head. “You have chosen your course wisely this time then?” He said and a knowing voice.

Beau shrugged. “I don’t know but I can at least live with this course better then I could with the other course or courses I saw myself going down.” He said.

The Sage nodded his head head. “The normals will come for you in a few hours. Do you wish me to remove the memories you have of communicating with your brother and planning his escape.” He asked.

Beau started to nod but then he stopped. “No. I think. I’m going to need the memories for however long I survive but can you make it possible for me not to have my mind hacked by Supers with the ability.” He asked.

The Sage sighed. “It will bring you much pain to do so.” He said.

Beau smiled. “I’m used to pain. I’ll come up with a story to give the normals to keep them away from getting into the underground. I’m ready.” He said.

The giant mutant sighed and then placed his hand on Beau’s head. Beau closed his eyes and as a storm of pain and power raced through his body. He smiled taking the pain quietly as his mind began to work on a plan for what he would do when he got out of the tunnels and met the normals in the next few hours.

Chapter 17

Beau shook Artemus awake while the others slept in the commanders trailer. She frowned at him until he handed her something into her hand. She looked at the thick bundle of dollars her hands. He felt her freeze and stared at him.

“What you doing?” She asked.

“My number has come up. Artemus. I’m going down into the tunnels to try and clear it out if I survive I’m going to be taken by the government, experimented on and then I’ll die.” He said and stared at her.

Artemus frowned at him waiting for the joke. Beau stared at her. She shook her head. “What are you doing?” She asked him.

Beau smiled. “I like you. I like you a lot. I wanted you to know that. I need you to keep yourself safe and don’t trust the government. Always be on your guard and stay alive and have a happy life. It was a pleasure working and admiring your lovely body.” He said.

“I’m not going to have sex with you.” She said.

Beau grinned. “Take care of yourself.” He said and got up. She started to get up but he waved her back down. “Stay. Remember what I said. Take care of yourself. It’s going to be an interesting day.” He said with grin and disappeared.

Five hours later….

Beau stood outside of a tunnel entrance near Central park. He watched the time on his digital watch. When it hit 6:55 a.m. three explosion were set off in locations around the city. His cellphone went off in his pocket. He got it out and answered it.

“Are you out?” He asked.

“Yes.” Vlad said.

“This is goodbye. Take care of your family.” He said.

“It’s not to late. You can join us. I have a new plan. I could use your help. You can come with us now. You don’t have to sacrifice yourself like this.” Vlad said.

“I can’t go. I have to find out what’s in the tunnels and I need to get answers for my friend’s condition before they get me. But, something might get me in the tunnel. I was serious. Your smarter then me. They won’t stop. You have to figure out how to deal with what’s coming. After today your on your own. I left plans with Han and a present in the thumb drive to help you out with your business. E might live through this shit. Hit her up for business. I got to go.” Beau said.

“You ever wonder why Angel can loan her power of vision through you?” Vlad asked.

“I’m not special and I don’t care about the reason. I never should have survived that day the alien crashed down on us brother. I realized that now. You were right to not trust them.” Beau said and turned as he saw Angel and her father walking toward him. “Take care of your kids. Children need their fathers.” Beau said

“If you survive….I’ll have a job for you if you want it.” Vlad said.

“That’s not going to happen. Thanks for the offer. Goodbye brother.” Beau said ended the call.

Beau turned to them. “Hey…so what are you two doing here?” He asked.

“Take my Dad with you.” Angel said.

Beau folded his arms. “Angel. I thought we agreed that you should hold back on using your powers so much. You had to sleep for several hours after the last vision you gave me.” He said.

Angel grimaced. “My Dad is a hunter. He’ll find or lead you to the person or persons that can help you figure out what to do.”

Beau frowned at her. “If I take your father with me. You have to promise me something.” He said.

Angel frowned but nodded her head. “Anything name it.” She said.

Beau shook his head. “Not now. Later. When your father and I get back you have to agree to whatever I ask you.” He said.

Angel stared at him. “You need me I know what happens to you in five years.” She said.

Beau stared at her. “It’s not your job to protect me. Promise me or I walk in there alone.” He said.

“Who were you talking to?” Angel asked.

“My brother. He’s leaving the city before the government comes in. I was wishing him luck with his new business venture.” Beau said.

“I promise.” She said finally after several minutes of silence.

Beau studied her face. “That easy. You shouldn’t try to trick me. I’ve played the time travel game. I planned to win.”

Angel smiled. It was feminine and showed her budding maturity. “I’ll see you later Beau. Take care of my Dad.” She said before turning walking away.

Beau turned his back on her to avoid looking at her any longer. “I need to find someone in there to help me figure out what’s wrong with Angel.” He said.

“Wait. What’s wrong with my daughter?” Jay said.

“She’s dying. Her powers are killing her. I need you to find me someone in there that can us how to stop it.” Beau said.

“How do you know any of this? Your a….E told you didn’t she.” She said.

“Yes and no. Another boy like Angel told me what was wrong with Angel and about a person in the tunnel that might be able to help her. I asked E if it was true about Angel’s sickness. She told me it was true.” I said.

Jay stepped forward without a word and started inside.

Chapter 16

Beau put his hand to Vlad’s mouth. Vlad stilled and then opened his eyes slowly. Beau stared at him behind his dark blue helmet.

“Why does the government want you dead?” He asked Vlad calmly.

Vlad stared back as Beau removed his gloved hand from his lips.

“They tried to hire me to kill Rider and your lot of goodies. I told them to shove it. I’m guessing they hired you well let’s-“

“Five days from now all my friends die and they take all your kids into the government foster care. Though. Honestly it’s more indoctrination into their private supers army.” He said and stared at Vlad. “Do you understand what I’m telling you.” He asked.

Vlad stared at him. “You have a seer?”

Beau shook his head. “One of my people is. She showed me what’s going to happened if we don’t change it now.” He said.

Vlad stared at Beau. “I’m listening go on.” He said.

“You already knew that. They sent us several targets. In the first timeline, I lost True Steel, Artemus. You died and your oldest son went down with you. They already have supers in their army really strong. One of them burned me. They’re coming in five days to end the blockade and possibly wipe us all out. Can you take on all of them? Do you have the men and weapons? How many of your own men can you trust not to turn on you?” Beau said.

Vlad stared at him. “We are not on the same team. We are enemies. ” He said.

Beau shook his head. “Wrong. We are brothers. We suffered pain and loss. We did our best to hold our people together and protect what we value. But, if I wanted you dead I would have shot you when you do your daily morning Yoga on the roof. I have no wish to kill you or your people. Your not the worse asshole I’ve had to deal with here for the last six months. Your too civilized. You want to believe there is a reasonable way to deal with them. You can’t fight them in this position. You’ll only get your children killed or taken by them. I had to do some thinking about it. I realized something though. A couple of issues are consistent in every timeline. Both of us die. Both of us lose and something else. Don’t you get it, yet?” He said.

Vlad said nothing he just waited. “Why don’t you tell me what I’m missing assshole?” He said.

“They don’t want us. They want the children and my inventions. They want your children. It’s the only thing that makes sense. I lose my people. Everything. You lose your children. Everything important to you. It’s that simple. Divide and conquer. They see what we’re doing as creating a mutant army to fight the government. It’s all bullshit though to hide the simple truth.”

Vlad nodded. “We have power. That power is a threat to them. It’s why I’m negotiating with them if you-“

“I thought about that. Rider wouldn’t go along with it and he’d only end up getting killed by the government he still believes in. Besides that we can’t trust them. They want us dead. It’s simple. The only way to cure them of that belief is to make ourselves appear weaker then we are or avoid a fight with them out right until we’re on equal footing. Your smart. You can figure out a way but you need time, resources. I don’t have money but I do have weapon designs and other inventions I’ve made and skills that come in handy for you to build something to protect your children and people like us from being hunted down like dogs. I can help you but I got a price.” Beau said.

Vlad frowned at him. “What are you asking me to do?” He said.

“Take your children and leave the city. Right now!” Beau said simple. “I’ve seen every way this can go down. There is no way out for me. I can save some of my people but not all from what’s coming. But, I thought of something. You and your children have one way out though. Retreat and find a better position to defend yourself and children. They’re going to get us. There is no way around it. But, your smart if you can get out and find some way to protect the children then they’ll be free at least to have a better future then the both of us. If you make out better then I imagine then look me up if I’m alive. I’m come work for you. Either way Rider and the others are coming to attack you today in the morning.. I’ll leave it to you on how to handle the situation brother.” Beau said.

Beau got up and walked to the door. Vlad got up. His son was at the door and moved aside to let him pass.

Vlad waved Han forward. “What did you tell him?” He asked.

Han shook his head. “Nothing. He told me what happened in possible timelines. He told me what was at stake if we didn’t act fast.” He said.

Vlad began to walk his bedroom floor while his son was quiet. “Were you waiting for him?” He said.

“Yes.” Han said.

Vlad flinched. “Did he know that?”

“No.” Han said.

Vlad stopped and finally looked at his son. “What did you see?” He asked.

Han stared at his father. “They want Jenna for their army the others will be cast aside. They used Mr. Lucas to kill you and I die with you.”

“What happens to Technomancer!” Vlad asked.

Han shook his head. “They use up Mr. Lucas until he dies on a lab table or he goes insane in white padded cell because he couldn’t save any of us in the end. He’s not going to escape what’s coming dad and they want him the most. The Normals are going to break him and kill him. He knows it. He gave me his inventions and plans in a thumb drive though. What do you want to do?” He said.

Vlad held his hand. “Get your siblings ready. We are leaving now. None of what you have seen will take place. None of it. I will not allow it. I’m not giving up on negotiating with U.S. government. Do you hear me?” He said.

Han stared at him. “Dad. It’s over. Their president hates us. She will not stop until we’re all dead dad. I don’t think even Mr. Lucas’ plan is going to work to save us from what’s coming when the most powerful human leader in the world wants to either use us or exterminate us from the face of the earth.” He said.

“Stop it. Go do as I say. Get you siblings ready. We’re leaving hell hole now.” Vlad commanded. “Listen to me. Nothing has happened yet. We will decide our own fates. Go.” He said.

Chapter 15

Beau jerked awake and away from Angel. He fell to the floor and throw up violently into a waste bin near him. Everyone in the room all stared at him. E, Rider and the rest of the crew and the still image of Major Benjamin on the projected screen.

Holy shit. Beau felt like he had been thrown back in time to before everything in his world had gone to shit a second time. How the fuck was he going to deal with living through the shit storm twice again.

E stared at him. “Who died with you?” She asked.

Beau took Rider’s face in his hands. Rider frowned at him and stared to pull away and noticed Beau crying.

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry.” Beau kept repeating. He couldn’t shake the image of Rider’s dead body or the guilt that still stabbed at his heart.

Rider sighed and gentle removed Beau’s hands from him. “I’m alive. It was just a nightmare. Everything is fine.”

Beau shook his head looking back at Angel to see her dropping off asleep. She was alive but for how long? “No it isn’t. Nothing is fine. It’s all fucked up. I was wrong. They were all soldiers and mercenaries. They had one of our own with them. Fucker burned me with fire and lightning from his mouth.”

Rider shook his head. “That’s makes no fucking sense. They just gave us fucking all they asked us to do is take out one last monster in the city and the blockade is over and they would give us all positions.”

E shook her head. “You and the others were offered those positions. Not me or Techno. They want us dead for some reason.”

“What the fuck do we do?”

E stared at him. “There is no “we” here John. The government has picked you and the others to run the face of whatever political game their running. I wasn’t invited. I’m running. Beau what are you going to do?”

“He said there were to many lose ends to clear up before things could get back to normal. He also said we didn’t live up to our end on the deal.” Beau said.

E frowned at him. “You need to be thinking about your fucking life instead-“

“We have five days until they end the block aid.” Beau said. “It’s the one opportunity for us to get our people out of this city. We promised the government we would have the city cleared of any dangerous violent threats. It’s the promise we made for our people to get a chance for them to get out and for things to return to normal.” Beau said.

“What fuck does….shit. Shit.” E cursed violent. She glared at Rider. “What fucking monster did you leave alive?”

Rider shook his head. “I didn’t leave any monsters alive. We took out the last monsters two months. The fucking city is cleared.”

“We missed one then.” Beau said. “Between all of us there had to be someone we let go or some moment we…ah shit.” Beau said. “Who cleared out the subway?”

No one answered. E closed her eyes. “None of you cleared out the tunnels. If there are any monsters down there we’re all screwed and I’m dead.” She said.

Rider shook his head. “We still have time. We’ll head down the subway tunnels and start clearing them out and Beau can take the crew and take out Vlad and his crew.”

“In five fucking days. It won’t be possible to clear out the subways in time to do both.” E said. “I need to think.” She said.

Beau shook his head. Everything was clear to him now. “I know what to do. Rider you and the others take out the others. The military will back you up. I’m taking a small unit down to the subways and hunting for whatever else is down there. No. Don’t fight me on it. You lead them in and handle Vlad.” He said.

E studied him silently. She said nothing. Beau knew if anyone had an idea what he had planned today she did but she was also smart enough no say anything about it. “Beau. Whatever you’re planning on doing you need to do it fast. We’re already running low on time as is to keep alive.” She said.

Beau smiled and nodded. “Tomorrow. I’m going to give the people holding us here a reason to finally let us out and then I’ll done. Just watch me.” He said and walked out of the room.
