The lighting struck a nice amount of them causing some of them to pass out from the shock alone. I jump down and rush forward immediately striking two thugs one in the head the the other in the gut. The first guy goes down like a sack of bricks as I hear his jaw shatter as he falls to the floor. The other man gets launched into another group of thugs knocking them down like bowling pins.
I hear a thud as Mary jumps down, elbow dropping one into the ground. I turn around and jump forward at a gangster who had better reaction time then his friends as he's already ready aiming his pistol. I shoulder check him knocking him on his ass and slam an escrima stick into the side of his head knocking him out.
Mary ducks under a man with a bat as she slaps him on the back, shocking him as he quickly falls to the ground. I hear several people cock their guns as I quickly jump up into the air dodging several bullets. I grab several ball bearings and launch them at a Steel beam above my shooters. They bounce off the beam and hit one of the shooters in the head knocking him out, hitting one in the shoulder with a satisfying crack Music to my ears and finally hitting one in the thigh causing him to fall to his knees.
I run towards as I hear several men get knocked on their asses as Mary shoots Air blast from her fists and feet letting her punch and kick at a distance keeping people from getting clean shots at me. I reach the 2 as I slam the escrima e stick into his side and slam the other one into the others neck. I then toss the sticks into the air and grab them both and throw them into the air.
I catch the sticks as they both hit the ground with a heavy thud. I turn to see a man pointing his gun at my face as he pulls the trigger. I feel my perception slow as the bullet at a snail pace moves towards my forehead. I flex my face as it turns to steel as the bullet impacts with my forehead. The force of the bullet makes my head shoot backwards as I feel the bullet bend against my forehead. I grin as I slam an escrima stick into his wrist feeling it break as he screams out in pain. I silence it as I slam the escrima stick into his forehead, knocking him out.
I duck as a blast of electricity hits a man behind me as I spot Mary giving me a thumbs up as Bullet hits her in the head as breaks against her skin causing a small bruise that quickly heals. She creates a small tornado in her hands as she shoots it out knocking several men into the wall.
I pull out several ball bearings and start tossing them around as they ricochet off walls, steel beams, hell even people slamming into jaws, shoulders, heads and legs causing a symphony of bone cracks and cries of pain, Its beautiful. “AAAAAAAAHHHHH!!” I hear screaming as I turn to see a shirtless guy with a machete running at me.
He swings down as I turn my hand to steel, grabbing the blade and bending it in my grip. “Sorry?” I look down at him and I could see him regretting his life choices as I pull out a escrima stick and slam it into the side of his head hard enough to cause him to spin in the air and onto the ground.
I feel the escrima stick struggling to not break under my strength as I need to remember to hit lighter or these things will break. I just need to put a little amount of strength into it.
I spun around and hit a man with an assault rifle about to shoot me as I hit him in the shoulder with one Escrima stick and hit him in the thigh. He grimaces in pain as it barely moves him as he fires at me. I jump to the side dodging a hail of gunfire. I jump to the side as I get grazed by a bullet as I feel blood trail down my left shoulder.
To little force I guess as I run forward and turn my fingers into silver claws and slash the gun into 5 pieces. He tries to pull out a knife As I spin and slam the front of my boot into his side as I feel his ribs crack and blood spin out of his mouth.
He once again tries to stab me but I just bonk him on the head with my fist knocking him out. I hear click and hear something rapidly move through air as I fall onto my chest barley dodging several gunshots. Mary grabs one of the people that shot me and slams them into the other two knocking them into the ground and slams the other into a wall. I hop onto my feet as several point guns are at me. Fuck it let’s hope this doesn’t kill them maybe. As I pull down my bandana and I feel the lighting building up and fire it. They didn’t even have time to pull the triggers as I saw the electricity webbed out and hit each one of them as I could see the electricity flow through the body as they all dropped to the ground at once.
I quickly check and they're all breathing so they're not dead as I hear something charging as I turn to see a man with a broken nose holding one of the odd looking guns. The gun was silver and kinda was shaped like a shotgun but instead it had a large barrel kinda like a t-shirt launcher. It was covered in orange purple lines as it had no trigger but the man pressed his finger down as the thing glowed.
Maybe it might have been a good idea to make sure they didn’t grab these, Idiot. I tried to reach him before it fired but it was too late as a blast of purple energy collided with my chest as I felt myself being launched 20 feet back.
I felt my chest cavity crack as I felt my ribs break as my chest immediately bruised. There was definitely some eternal bleeding and I started falling. The gun knocked me off the building, “FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!” I screamed loud enough that I probably woke up some angler fish. I started to fall as I felt the wind rush passed me then rush towards me.
I quickly get pulled up back on the building as Mary smirks “saved your ass”. I nodded as I walked over and noticed the man with the high tech gun was unconscious on the ground and everyone else was the same as him.
“So where do you think these guys got this high tech gear?” Mary shrugged as she wiped blood off her hands.
“Don’t know maybe there's a developer in town” developers are people with the ability to make high tech physics breaking equipment that can range from death rays to the perfect computer virus to even chemicals and poisons. They are different from people with super intelligence since they have an actual power that lets them build and affect their equipment from making it more effective to being able to make it so that they can create infinite energy from making a battery.
I grab one of the guns and if there is a developer in town there not a very good one. It charged up kinetic energy and shot it off but it took awhile to charge but if it had something that could constantly generate Kinetic energy it would not need to charge. Also if it was contained in something much smaller it could focus that kinetic energy a lot more making it stronger. Putting it into a melee weapon would shorten the range but its strength would be higher and more controllable. Maybe add a system where that object builds up kinetic energy and the system could make the object slow down or speed up letting you control the strength of the pulse.
I holster the gun in my belt as I wanna make this thing better no I will make this better. I walk up to Mary as she's been cuffing people with cuffs made out of hail.
“That was fun”
“Yep”
“Kinda easy”
“You can say that”
“Wanna get a pizza and head home and watch cheesy horror movies?”
“Do I even need to answer that?” I grin at Mary as I then sniff something. An acidic smell mixed in with hints of copper as I turned to see one of the gangsters was chugging several vials of that glowing liquid from one of the crates. I grabbed Mary's head and made her look as we both saw the man's veins and eyes glow blue as he stared at us. As both me and Mary spoke simultaneously “fuck”.
Of course it had be fucking giants blood, Giants blood is a drug that can enhance ether a evolves power or the physicals capabilities of a human by decent amount but that's only if you took one vial but this guy took 6 and your vain aren’t suppose to glow so this is just full of bad signs.
The gangsters' muscles bulge as his shirt rips and tears from his new muscles grow and he even gets a bit taller. He runs at me with superhuman speed as he throws a heavy overhand punch. I was sloppy very fast and I could see the strength behind it but it was easy to predict.

I slap his fist to the right as I throw a cross hitting him across the face. He felt more solid and didn't get hurt that much by my punch, only giving him a small nose bleed. He grins “cute” Mary roundhouse kicks him in the face knocking him on his ass “yeah very cute”.
He gets up as his nose is bleeding heavily now “I fucking hate vigilantes” he runs at us again and goes for 2 jabs one at me and the other at Mary we both sidestep him and punch him in his sides. A bit of blood shoots out of his mouth as he goes for a swing at me. As I fall to my knees and strike him right in the crotch. His face goes purple as Mary grabs him by his waist and suplexes him.
We take a step back as the dude gets up again as Mary goes for a kick to his head and he grabs her leg as his eyes and veins grow a brighter blue. “Fuck” was the last thing Mary said as she was slammed into the ground hard and toss into a steel beam bending it as she starts to cough up blood. He turns to me as he grows again now being 7 foot and shredded his eyes and veins glow a bright blue as shirt and pants are straining now. I guess that's the other doses kicking in as I solidify both my hands into steel claws and pull down my bandana as I feel heat build up in my throat.
I hit him with a blast of flames as I dash towards him. He dodges out the fireball but it explodes when it impacts the ground causing him to stumble. I run forward as I palm strike him in his near broken nose making it break as I then grab him, lift him and slam him into the ground. He goes to grab at my feet but I kick him in the face causing him to hold his caved in nose.
He gets up but is immediately nearly knocked back down as a bolt of lighting strikes causing him to have a small seizure as I take a deep breath, run towards him, turn my torso and punch him right in the solar plexus. I feel bones crack under my strike as he gets launched backwards right into the crates breaking several more vial and kinetic guns. As the electricity still in his system comes in contact with the devices as they are broken, the vials of giant blood and the electricity mix together as the gun starts glowing.
“Goddammit” all of us say at the same time as Mary runs over and creates a wall made out of solid hail in front of us as I hear a loud BOOM! As I see a small explosion of purple and bluish light in front of us.
Me and Mary stare at each other as we lay against the wall “so did we just kill that guy?”
“Maybe, wanna check?”
“Might as well mom and dad will be pissed to find out that Our first patrol ended with us killing someone”
We both peaked from behind the Hail wall and saw a large amount of smoke where the man the crates where as Mary with a wave of her hand sent a blast of wind revealing lets just say interesting sight.
Slowly getting well I don’t even know what to call him now. He stood at 10 and half feet tall, his body bulging with muscle, his now hide-like skin barely containing it as there rips across his body that glowed with bluish purple light. His arms were and legs were the size of tree trunks his hands could grab around a human torso. The bulging veins on his body glowed with that bluish purple light. He had no hair on his head as his eyes glowed with that same bluish purple light and that same light came from his mouth as he roared.
“Did we just make a fucking supervillain!?”
“No we made fucking captain good guy, what the hell do you think?” But seriously are we in a fucking comic book because chemicals, technology and lighting don’t just give you super powers that’s not how science works! The behemoth of a man turned towards us “I’m gonna kill you!!” At least he can speak. He charges at us faster than either of us could react as if he was walking through paper he rips through the wall grabbing both of us as he leaps off the construction.
We fall through the air as I feel him slowly crushing my chest cavity with his grip. I try to use my claws to stab into his wrist as it does pierce through his skin but his muscles are too dense for me to do any real damage. Mary tried to shock him, it did nothing, she tried to use air to slash at him, it did nothing, she even fired hail into his face as he didn’t even flinch as he tightened his grip around her as she vomited blood.
We got closer to the ground as I Felt rocks form in my throat as I focused and felt it solidify into one. I opened my mouth as I fired a large earth spike into his right eye. “AAAAAGH!” he grunted in pain as his gripped lighten as Mary hit with a blast of pressurized air knocking him away from us.
Mary then made us float to the ground as we landed. Mary held her chest as I could hear chest quantity and ribs piecing themselves back together.
“This was supposed to be” she takes a heavy breath “a simple first patrol” she takes another long breath as her lungs were fully healed “how the hell did we end up here?”.
“Rule of being a hero the first patrol never ends well” as the behemoth got up as he ripped the spike out of right his eye as Bluish purple blood gush from it. He rushes towards us as we jump out of the way as he slams his fist into the ground making a small crater sending debris and dust everywhere. Mary covers her hands in hail gauntlets as she runs forwards and hits him in the face as it barely makes him move his head. He swings at her, she dodges and throws an air blast at his liver as it causes him to stumble a slight bit. I took a deep breath and fired a massive wave of fire.
It hit him but he ran through it and grabbed me by the face, slamming me into a wall and then he dragged me across the wall as he then started to bash my face into a steel beam. I turned my face into steel but I felt that crack too as I felt myself being lifted up as I saw him raise his fist and punch me in the face as I felt a crack in my skull as the steel beam bends behind. I feel unconscious take me as everything went black, Thought he would last longer well onto the next person If he dies I guess.
POV SWAP:MARY
Tonight was supposed to be a simple patrol to help my brother get some in field experience at becoming a hero. It was going well. We saved some people from a burning building and stopped a weapons and drug deal between gangsters. It was going well until this motherfucker by fucking chance got really strong powers and was beating my brother into a steel beam so Yeah I’m pretty pissed.
I propel myself to the big fuck and slam both my feet into his face “GET THE FUCK OFF HIM!!” I pushed as much condensed air into that kick as it actually knocked him back. I landed on my feet as I felt the clouds above me and it started to storm as rain poured down around me.
“Hey Brucey! You know water if pressurized enough, can punch through steel want an example?” I felt the water form around me and condense as much I possibly could and fired it at him.
The first one hit him in the shoulder punch right through his shoulder spraying his weird ass blood against the ground as he charged at me. I fired several more blasts as He dodged and kept jumping out of the way. “How can something that big move that fast!?” He was right in front of me as He swung at me. I blast myself to the side dodging the strike as it broke the ground. I form several spikes made out of hail and launch them at him. He bashed them out of the air with a wave of his arm.
He went from an overhand swing as I formed a barrier of spinning air around me. He collides with the barrier as it cut up his fist a bit but he broke through it as I propel myself backwards “god fucking dammit!” I can’t get through his skin and my lighting does jack shit to him. I gotta rely on the water beams that seem to hurt him.
I formed the rain around as I swiped my arm at him sending pressurized water slices. The first one he ducks under the next he jumps over and the last he bashes away only giving him a small cut on his arm. I try to move away again but he grabs me quicker than I could react. I feel my shoulder slowly break under his grips. He goes to give me a trip to the dentist but with a pull of my hand I bring back the water slashes that kept in the air and they collide with his back causing him to let go.
I then pull the air from his lungs and have water wrap around his head and force it into his nose, mouth and nose slowly drawing him. “Gotcha you fuck, everyone need to breath even you have fun drawing” I start to walk over to Richard.
I see him grab at his neck as he tries to remove the water as I smirk, dumbass but he lifted up his hands and slammed them together. “Aw fu” as I feel a shockwave slam into me launching me through a wall and slam into a wall. I hate this city because either the heroes are busy or just fashionably late as I knock the rubble off me as I stand up and feel the bruise and cut on my forehead heal.
“Now where the fuck is that big Bitch?” Well I find him quickly as he slams me into the wall behind and throws at a crane. The metal bend behind me as i feel blood pore from my mouth I ry to get up but that fuck doesn’t give me a chance as jumps onto me digging his feet into my chest cavity. I feel something break as blood shoots out my mouth as he slams his fist into my face again and again and again.
As he punches my face deeper into the concrete I feel the punches have less force as I get hurt and more hurt. Thanks mom for having such a useful power as I grab his fist and slam him into the crane next to us. The crane quickly falls apart on top of him as I run over and don’t give him a chance to think. As I hit him with an uppercut shooting his head upwards I then jump and kick him across the face launching several teeth out of his mouth. I then grab his head and slam him into the ground and drag him across it and slam him into the first floor of the construction building. He runs out breaking the entrance charging at me.
I grab a steel beam from nearby wreckage and get into a batters stance and slam it into his head. I then slam it into his legs knocking him to the ground. I then wrap and bend it around his neck causing him to start choking as I coated my fists in much stronger Hail gauntlets. I slam my fist into his nose punching it off as blood gushes on me as “I”ll Kill you your little cunt!!!”. I then slam my fist into his face again and again until he’s all his teeth but he rips the metal off his neck and shoves his fist into my gut.
He shakingly stands up as I feel my stomach nearly rupture from that punch. I feel more strength flow through me as I feel the wind around . I cause it to start rotating and spinning around me as I make it faster and faster until the rubble starts lifting into the air. I feel the wind rushing around as it starts to take shape around me as I form a tornado around us. He gets lifted up in the air flailing along the way. I feel the wind move faster and faster as He flies higher and higher. I then charge my left fist with every bit of electricity I have and coat with as much condensed air as possible. As I launch him towards me and I hit him with everything I have.
I feel every bone in my left arm shatter as I punch him into the construction building as it collapses on him. I fall to my knees breathing hard as I feel my body heal itself “that's what you get you villain of the week motherfucker”.
Then the rubble shakes as he pulls himself out of it “you have to be kidding me!?”. He gets as his body starts healing itself his eye and nose slowly coming back hell he even gets bigger. I slowly get up as I clench my fist and hold them up “ok round 2 I guess” as he goes to charge at me. Until silver giant silver hands slam into him into the ground as someone walks past me.
They wore a silver button suit and tie with silver dress shoes and gloves. They had a blank mirror-like silver mask that didn’t hide their smooth silver hair, they were a walking eyesore.
“I suggest you get you and your partner out of here this one is too strong for you to fight” I nod as I run over and grab Richard and book out of the area as I hear the sounds of the battle disappear as I run away. Eventually I get home and toss Richard's big ass on the couch. He's still breathing and fully healed but knocked out. I walk to my room and take off my destroyed proto costumes and fall on my very comfy bed and let my bruised body heal.
This was one fucking crazy first night but hey were still alive and that's all that matters. After a couple minutes I almost fall asleep until my phone rings on my nightstand. “Goddammit what now?” I grab my phone as it's a text from Rachel “oh”. It reads hey wanna watch a movie tomorrow if you don’t mind I smile as I type back sure.
