The Extraction

Faith sat on the edge of the building happily enjoying her wonderful power. The ability to control electricity was wonderful to her. Merc was just afraid that she would get out of hand with her power. That was just what happened.

How many super hero flicks have you seen where someone has a great new power and keeps it cool?

Faith couldn't do that. She went mad with power. She sucked energy out of several people-in fact about half of the city-She zapped every person who didn't give her what she wanted and she annihilated everybody who talked to her. Except for Merc, of course. After a week of power, Faith had something take over her....

"Merc, where is my paycheck?"

"I gave it to you yesterday, remember?"

"The one for TODAY Merc TO-DAY!"

Merc stared at her very upset. "You don't GET a paycheck for EVERY DAY, Faith!" Faith yelled frustrated and angry and let out a blast of electricity at Merc. Merc collapsed on the ground curled up in a ball full of pain.

"I get my paychecks EVERY day." Faith said, not regretting what she did at all. "EVERY day. Got that buddy?" Merc couldn't speak. Faith zapped him again.

"I SAID, got it buddy?!" Faith yelled. Merc tried his best to say yes and thankfully Faith understood him and left. Merc lied there for 3 hours before he could move again. He stood up and set up the machine he had made just incase he needed to extract the electricity from Faith. In an hour Faith returned and was caught in Merc's trap. He grabbed her from behind and held her tightly in a suit that could block off electricity. She tied her to the chair and hooked her up to the machine as she struggled to electrocute Merc. He quickly ran to the operating switch and looked at a very angry Faith.

"I'm sorry, Faith." Merc said and turned on the machine. The electricity was being extracted from Faith. The only thing Merc hated was that he was also taking the life from her. Faith still fought back though. She tried her hardest to electrocute the machine but all it could do was extract, not absorb. Faith soon stopped fighting and died.

Merc turned off the machine. She walked over to Faith. A single tear fell from his face. "I'm so sorry. So very sorry."
