Good morning America was playing.
"I am just saying with the recent news and leaks within the prt are heroes actually heroes? Do they deserve that name?"
"Honestly we are seeing that parahumans are just that, human."
"Yes however when a human gets upset and punches a support pole he hurts his hand, when a parahuman does it the whole building gets brought down."
"Yes, however we all know some of those with powers never wanted them in the first place. Look at Weld, imagine never being able to touch anything metal."
"Then we should help them instead of parading them around like circus clowns."
"What about Termite? We all saw the report there." A man says shuttering.
"Termite has been dead since the 90s. It is not like he can face justice for that accident."
"We can stop selling his toys to children. I dont want my son having an action figure of that sick criminal."
Lisa had done it, Though apparently she's Sarah now. She broke the internet, distrust of hero's is higher than it has ever been and the world was on fire. Yet she has the gall to claim she didn't start it.
The most damning thing of all though was footage of Armsmaster killing a woman in cold blood.
===========
Flash back 2005
"Armsmaster, how many times must I tell you to stop chasing me!" Hookwolf shouts, grabbing a civilian from the crowd of people.
Armsmaster finally stops fully looking at the monster holding a woman hostage.
"You are going to let me go or she dies." Hook wolf says
"We all know you won't do that. They'll Birdcage you." Armsmaster says
"Yeah, well I would like to see them try. You wont ever catch me anyways. You'll aways be a discount bargain bin of a hero." Hookwolf says
Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more.
"Just come quietly blender dog." Armsmaster says
"I don't think I will." Hookwolf says tightening the grip on his hostage.
Armsmaster takes a step forward holding his halberd in a threatening way.
Hookwolf takes a step back a blade cutting hostages arm.
"I'll Kill! her back off you tin can!" Hookwolf shouts
"I'll be painful but it wont kill her." Armsmaster mutters
"What did you say!" Hookwolf shouts
"You can't kill her when she is already dead!" Armsmaster shouts
With a lunge the halberd plunges through the right side of the woman's chest before stabbing into hookwolf.
The villainous cape jolts back in shock letting go of the hostage. Shocked that the hero would stab the woman.
"Something is wrong, There is too much blood." Armsmaster says his voice quavering.
The woman who hookwolf was holding hostage was dead on the ground and armsmaster froze up allowing the villain to escape.
Suddenly armsmaster looks up at the camera.
"Turn that phone off!" He shouts in a commanding voice. As sirens drown out the noise in the background.
============================
"Dextrocardia" The director says looking at some paperwork.
Armsmaster looks down at the ground ashamed
"Less than a 1% chance and you hit it. You shouldn't be stabbing people in the first place… If it wasn't for the chief director You would be getting replaced like I am." The old man says
"I killed her." Armsmaster says horrified.
"I dont know why I did that. It just felt like the most efficient way to save her and Capture hookwolf.
"You would've stabbed through her lung even if you didn't hit her heart. She would have drowned in her own blood." The director says disappointed.
