I’m pretty much fucked up. Well, that’s my opinion but yeah. Fucked. Only fucking two weeks in this city and already half of the population of fucking country knows where I am now. I mumble some curses while ripping a spear from body of reason of this mess. I don’t touch other 2 spears and longsword I left on its body so he can’t crawl away. I can’t let him get away easily right? I swing the spear… no, not a spear, a glaive to abomination running to me like a bat and she flies through the hole on broken wall that I opened while crushing another abomination with a great hammer and falls to street below. Shit, I hope they won’t send me the bill of restorations. I twirl the glaive and throw it to old security guard on my left that jumped over a broken droor to reach me and hitting around his right lung and pinning him to wall behind. Probably dead or going to die soon and those shark teeth will not going to help him. Few seconds later I heard sound of splat from the abomination I batted created by falling 8 floors to road below followed by screams of civilians outside while ripping an arm of an old office boy newly made lovecraftian abomination and crushing another one’s head with said arm. Pity, she used to be a cute blonde, one of those mousy types, now she had tentacles coming out of its stomach. Blood coming out of her head dyes the hall with another set of red. Yes, doesn’t matter if you are a human, an animal or an abomination, crushing someone’s head is really bloody and weapon I used for isn’t really clean either.
I sigh while looking what is left of this pitiful horde. They were simple office workers just few hours ago and now they are… this. Some of them run around their old desk with inhuman agility to reach me while few others just acts like a bulldozer and crashes through every office I reach to core and pull liquid energy to materialize another longsword and rush them. I let my senses to control me, so I can end this quickly. I don’t use any graceful motions behind my attack, I cut, chop and hack and hope they were already died before or moment that bastard twisted them and I really, really hope they were dead when I killed them again. After crushing chest of the last of the abominations by stepping on it I pull my foot and examine the damage my greaves left on its body. It wasn’t pretty at all.
I turn and slowly walk towards the sobbing villain. Pulling one’s intestines and cutting few limbs cause that effect. I materialize a trident/lance hybrid and stab him where it won’t kill him. That’s one of the better uses of my power, while it tells me how to kill; it also tells how to make people suffer without killing. Not really actually, he will just die more slowly and in pain. I raise the weapon’s head and by that villain hanging from it and stab the floor with butt of the weapon. My strength causes cracks on surface and buries the trident’s butt to floor. Trident vibrates under the stress and causes another pain wave over the villain body. Then I take back few steps to watch my work and that acts like signal to beginning of the second act.

The wall left to me explodes inwards and showers me with little parts of debris. Probably caused by a punch from a brick type cape. I turn my head to improvised door they created as 4 heroes flew inside and say ‘’ Hello pigeons, how can I help you this beautiful Tuesday? I mean I already helped with destruction of infected and punishment of the sinner that caused this mess but please do tell if you want an apple pie or something. ‘’ by showing gore and body parts around the office and the pointing the Blue Cultist dangling from trident.
They stare in shock to me and my surroundings for a few seconds and trying to wrap all this in their minds. One of the women, Daggerfall I presume because of all little daggers flying around her with silver body armor with a gray ranger cape, starts running around dismembered bodies and mumbles something I can’t hear from where I stood. Probably a name of a relative or a close friend. Another guy, a gadget/tinker type of hero takes a look around and opens bottom half of the mask of his fancy power armor and throws up to an empty bin he found under the rubble. I changed my attention from missile-shoulders to Daggerfall and met her begging stare without flinching and simply shaked my head a little to convey my message. There wasn’t any left unchanged when I come here. She simply falls down to her knees sobbing quietly while other woman hugs herself and stares corpses around. Because of all those tiny little wings on her boots and cuffs, I put her in some speedster category and there is only one known speedster in town. This makes her Crimson Dash. She fixes her gaze on the body of still squirming security guard pinned to wall just next to entrance they created and tries to stop herself from shivering. Last of them a blond man carries a falcon on its white-red bodysuit and a dumb goatee took a step to me with a raised fist and started his monologue about justice and equality or something. I mean after 4 seconds of his monologue I simply decided not listening to his bullshit acting gifts is better. I remember him, what was his name? Yes, Hyperman or something, a damned fucking gloryhound. Saving kittens from trees just in time to some reporter catch out to him with his car and took his photos for next article.
My mind wanders a little while he yaps his mouth off...
Ah, I can see the Kraus TV chopper from the hole they just get in. This means that probably I am the main topic of Beeline’s show tonight. Mom loves that show so... Shit. She is now going to see this mess...Yep, fucked.
