Hey guys. I'm back with another chapter. This one was difficult. I am not good at combat and I never feel confident when I do a combat scene. But here it is. So please if you don't like it go easy on me ok.
I will introduce a few new characters in a chapter or two. So far we have only seen half of the people currently in GenX.

I woke up with the feeling of something laying next to me. I froze the moment I woke up. What the hell is that. I slowly turn my head to find a little sister laying next to me. That's when it all came back. I was helping her. I slowly slip my arm out of her's and sit up. I rub my eye's.
"God my fuckin head hurts." I say out loud. I reach to the right side of my head and tentatively touch a large bump there. I wince the moment my hand makes contact. Fuck that hurts. I stand up and walk over to the bathroom. Half way there my head starts to really throb. Not what I need today.
I relive my self and wash my face hoping to clear my head. It does not work. When I walk back out of the bathroom the little sister is sitting up in bed with her knees drawn up to her chin. She seems tired and scared. She has long brown hair that goes all the way to the small of her back and her eye's are dimly glowing yellow. She is skinnier than anyone I have ever seen and her dress is torn and in tatters. It is barley holding together on her. I walk over and sit down on the end of the bed
She looks up and stares at me. I can see the coldness in her eye's and I know its not because of me but because of rapture.
"You shouldn't have to grow up like this." I say and her stare turns in to a glare. I continue anyway. "None of the little sisters should. You should be outside running around playing and getting into trouble. Not stuck fighting for your life every day. It's just wrong. So fuckin wrong. I know what you've been through."
"No You don't." She says with a coldness in her voice that I have not heard her use until now. I turn to look at her. "I lost my entire family. Every one of them. All so that I could become a little sister. Then I was paired up with Mr. Bubbles. they put a sea slug inside of me and force me to collect ADAM from dead body's. I don't see how you could understand even half of what I have gone through.
I mumble to her and her head shoots up with a glare. "What did you say?" She asks me with what seems to be mounting hatred.
"I said at least you were to young to remember much about them, and at least you didn't...didn't have to kill one of them with you bare hands." I tell her with tears starting to stream down my face. She recoils at the last part. I steel myself and the tears stop.
"You...Killed part of your own family?" She asks. I abruptly stand up and march out of the room. As i walk out I glance over my shoulder and see she has tears in her eye's threatening to spill over.
"Your not they only one with a sob story here in rapture. And I would bet my life my past is at least as bad if not worse then yours." I see that lightning is now sitting up in bed and I turn and head out.
Lighting find me an hour later. I am sitting in a small vacant room crying. She comes in and sits down next to me.
"Hey." She say's quietly. I glance at her and then go back to staring at the wall. She grabs my hand and lays her head on my shoulder. For a moment I am tempted to accept this comfort from her. to hold her and be with her. But I know what wants. She wants us to be together. I'll admit she is beautiful. She is almost as tall as I am and nice and slime. She has long brown hair and striking blue eye's. But she also looks just like my little sister would if she had gotten the chance to grow up. Every time I look at her I see My little sister.
"Lets go." I say suddenly standing up. I am used to pushing my emotions to the side. I usually do it by making a delivery for Braniac. This time I will bury my emotions by killing the Big Daddy named Trojan. "We have a job to do and not a lot of time to do it. I start to walk out and I can see she is trying not to cry at my rejection. I hate it. Its not her fault but I just...I can't when every time I look at her I see Evanlyn.
We walk down to Tenenbaums office. I barge in to her office and she jumps and drops some of her papers.
"Mr. Alan. Could you please try knocking first next time?" She asks me. I put my frozen hand on her desk. My plasmid flare up when I am agitated or upset or angry.
"My name is frost and where is Trojan located at." I demand of her. She looks shocked with my frankness and aggression.
"Mr. Alan I don't know where this an-." She is cut off as my plasmid activates more and a layer of frost covers her desk.
"My name is frost now. Now tell me where this Big Daddy is NOW!" I don't know why but I am suddenly extremely angry.
"Fine if that's how your going to be. Trojan is in a shop to the west of the main entrance here. You'll do well to be cautious when fighting him Frost." She tells me. "Now please get out."
I turn around and head out the door. I walk over to the room I was in before. once I am standing out side o fit I lift my frozen arm and punch in to the wall. there is a bright flash and a blast of absolutely freezing air. When my vision clears the entire wall is frozen. Several people are looking at me in a mixture of awe and fear. I then walk through the door to the room and sit with my back to the wall. I breath out a sigh and feel better.
Lightning walks in and leans against the opposite wall.
"Feeling better frost." She ask's me a little wary. There have been times when a single punch has not been enough.
"Yeah. Yeah I feel better. It felt good. You ready to go lightning?" I ask her. She nods and I stand up and walk out with her. We both walk out and head toward the exit. Neither of us notices the little girl that watches us as we pass by. She watches them thinking to herself that the out burst and ice explosion are her fault. She follows them as they walk on.
So you guys probably want to know what that was. I have a unique-ish ability. Only little sisters and those that use the inferno plasmid can use anger to increase the power of there plasmid. I am the exception. Winter Blast is usually strong when you are calm and cool. Electro bolt is better when your extremely focused. There are other ways to make other plasmids stronger but I don't know most of them.
We get to the exit and walk out. Lighting looks at me and I smirk.
"So which way do you think is west?" I ask her. She glares at me and then turns and start to walk of with all the confidence in the world...to the east. I turn and start to walk the other way. "Nice try."
She turns and runs to catch back up. She glare at me and I laugh. And all the tension from earlier just drains away. We continue on and we talk and joke and I feel better than I have in over a week. This is how its suppose to be. GenX Against rapture.
When we finally reach Trojans place it is pretty obvious. The glass is all broken out and you can hear him inside talking to himself. Now Big Daddy's talking is not new. But usually when they do its cause they either have a voice module or can take there helmets off, both of which make them much smarter than I like. I can hear him humming from outside the store.
I step back a little and Lightning follows me. When I feel we are safe enough away I turn to lightning.
"alright, we need to be on our toes. We don't know what ability's or weapons this guy will use." I tell her.
"Got it." She tells me. I start to walk toward the shop and she follows me.
I get to the entrance and I see that the door is broken off. I walk in and Lighting follows me. I walk in and pretty soon I see Trojan. He is standing with his back turned to use. He seems to be working on a work bench and humming to himself. He has not noticed us. I am tempted to freeze him right now and have Lighting shock him. I can see Lighting powering up her plasmid. i hold out a hand to stop her. I can't do it this way.
"Are you the one they call Trojan?" I ask him forcefully. He tenses and straightens up.
" Yes. I am the one they call Trojan. And who might you be, barging in to my house uninvited like this?" He asks back. I can see his hand slowly move towards something to his left. I draw my shotgun.
"I am Frost and my companion is Lightning. I am here to ask you if you will leave Tenenbaum alone." I tell him. I hope to god he will.
"Interesting. But no. I refuse. So now what happens kid?" He asks me smugly.
"Now. Now we kill you." I tell him sadly. Faster than I thought a Rosie to move he grabs his gun and spins. I shove Lightning to the ground behind a counter. Less than a second later a rivite flies through the place her head had been. I turn and dive to the other side. I feel something brush my leg and it feels like its burning. I stand up with my beck to a pillar.
I turn to poke my head out and see Trojan standing right there next to me. I panic and jump backwards trying to get away from him. I turn to run to a counter I see but before I take a step I feel something hit my leg and suddenly it hurts worse and any injury I have ever had before. Vaguely I hear Lightning, I think, Scream my name but its far off. All I know is that my leg hurts like hell.
I look down and see a rivite sticking out of it. All I can think is how the hell did that get there and why does it hurt so damn much. I look over and in slow motion it seems Trojan aims at me. Suddenly an arc of lightning hits him and he spasms.
"Frost. get behind the counter. Get behind the counter now." Lightning screams at me. I turn and crawl behind the counter. When I get behind it I lean against it and sigh. I look back down at my leg. Its my left leg. At least it did not hit the bone. I look back up and see Trojan just coming around the counter to face me. I lift my shotgun and loose both slugs into his head.
And they pass right through him.
Holy shit. It did nothing. What do I do. He fires a rivite in to my chest and I close my eye's ready for the inevitable. But it never come. I open my eyes and he is fire rivite after rivite into me. And all of them go right through me. It's a fucking decoy. I was fooled by a fucking decoy.
"Lightning. He can use Decoy." I yell to her. I try to stand up and fall the moment my leg starts to straighten. my head starts swimming and I can barely. I look down and see a substantial pool of blood. Its just a trickle now but it was flowing a few seconds ago. I move to my hands an knees and start to crawl.
I get to the pillar ai was hiding behind before and lean against it. I slowly stand up while leaning on it. I put a small amount of pressure on my leg and almost collapse again. But I grit my teeth and fight the dizziness. Lighting is fire shot after shot after Trojan and he is doing the same. I fumble with my shotgun and it takes me a minute and three dropped bullets to get it fully reloaded. I hope What i heard of the Alphas armor is true.
"Lightning. i have a plan." I tell her as she crouches down and faces me. i toss her my shotgun and she catches it. "Follow my lead."
I then spin out from behind the pillar on my good leg and drop to the ground quickly. less than half a second later a rivite flies through the space my head was just occupying. I roll on my side behind a bookshelf. Three rivites hit the bookshelf before Lightning has her pistol out again and is firing at Trojan. This is a stupid fucking idea and its gonna get me killed but its my only chance. I put my left hand on my leg and freeze the rivite and a small area around it. Immediately it goes a little numb and feels slightly better.
I slowly get up in to a crouch. When I am ready I spring off my right foot and roll behind a counter six feet from Trojan. I see a bolt hit the ground less then three inches from where I am. I then hear Trojan start to walk towards me. I can also hear Lightning bullets hitting him but he does not slow down. When he is three feet away I stand up and face him. In some detached part of my mind I notice the bullets stop firing. I surprise Trojan and he rushes his shot and it grazes my right shoulder and i do a half spin. As I spin my Frozen hand comes up and I point it right at his right arm. I hit him with my Winter Blast and his Right arm, Rivite gun and chest all freeze.
"What the fu-AAAAHHHHHHHHH!" He screams out as Lightning blast both shells of my shotgun in to his right elbow. His old armor combined with the ice make it to weak and his arm comes off at the elbow. His screaming redoubles when Lighting drops the shotgun and shoots electricity through his now exposed flesh. He falls to his knees and I collapse at the same time. The last thing I remember before blacking out is a number of gun shots and the scream being cut off.
I wake up on and off but when I finally do wake up for good it is a day later. I sit up in bed and look around. My heart rate slows as i notice there is no one in here with me. I sit fully up and lean my back against the wall. I sit like that for a little while, thinking over what happened, when the door opens. I freeze my hand immediately and get ready for a fight. I feel weak but I still got one good blast in me. I dispel it when I see the person is Lightning.
She sees me awake and lets out a relived breath before breaking in to a big smile and running towards me. When she gets to me she stops and sits down next to me very carefully.
"What happened?" I ask her immediately. He smile fades and she gets an upset look on her face.
"I was not a good enough partner and you got hurt." She says with a dejected look.
"Not what I meant." I tell her and she looks at me confused. "I know we beat Trojan. I remember that part. I meant what happened afterwards.
"Oh. Well I brought you back. Shortly after we got back Scrap and the Bouncer showed up. The Big Daddy has been tended to. Him and the little sister are about to leave. I can go get them if you would like."
I suddenly sit bolt up and swing my legs around the edge of the bed.
"What are you do?" Lightning asks startled. I start to get up. "You can't get up. you need to lay down and rest.
"Help me up." I tell her. Her mouth which was open to argue snaps shut at my tone. She looks extremely unhappy about it but she helps me. It just came to me suddenly. I have to see them. I have to see the Big Daddy and the little sister.
She helps me up and once I am standing I feel a little more stable. I start walking and it hurts and I am limping but I am still walking. I walk out of the room and head toward the entrance to Tenenbaums place. People atop to stare at me and I can't blame then. I make a strange site. I have not shirt on. I am only wearing the pants I had on when i fought Trojan and even though's are ripped at the knee on my left leg.
I make it to the entrance after a few minutes. I open the door and walk out there. I am followed by a number of little sisters curious about me. When i step out I see the little sister and the Big Daddy are thirty feet way. they are walking away and did not seem to hear me come out over all the noise. I clear my throat and get ready to shout to them. What came out was a little different.
"Stop. You're not allowed to leave just yet." My tone was very similar to the one I took with Lightning in my room and it made all of the Big Daddy's around Tenenbaums place stop. After a couple of seconds the Big Daddy I was talking to turns around. I was expecting him to charge me but when he is turned around I am very surprised. His helmet is lit up green and he starts to walk towards me at a normal pace. When he is about a foot and a half away he stops.
"First off you don't just leave without saying good bye." I tell him and everyone around me takes a breath at the tone I take with him. He I am injured and barley able to walk and I stand there and lecture a Big Daddy. I know I looked crazy but I did not care. I have a mission.
"Second you don't leave without saying thank you. I save her life and I saved your sorry ass twice." The Big Daddy takes a half step back and I take a full step towards him. "And finally I am not gonna just let you leave. Where are you gonna go? How are you gonna feed her? Where are you gonna find new cloths for her? Hhmmm."
He stand there for a second and I think that maybe I crossed a line. After a second he finally steps back and lowers his head.
"Exactly. That's what I thought. So your gonna join my group." I tell him and his head shoots up. He makes an argumentative rumble and I cut him off. "I don't care that your a loner, or don't quite trust us or that maybe you even plain don't like us. You have a little girl to take care of and you need to do whats best for her. You will join us. And we will feed her and cloth her and provide shelter for both of you. Understand?"
He looks up at me and his light turns yellow and then red and he growls a bit. After a second though it goes blue and he lowers his head. He makes a submissive noise and heads in side. The little sister starts to follow him but stop when she gets to me. I get down to one knee and she turns to me.
"Thank you for saving ." She then hugs me quickly before running to catch up to him. I stand back up and turn to the crowd.
"Well I'm glad that's over." I say before Promptly collapsing and blacking out.
Two days later my leg is almost fully healed and I am back at our base. I am sitting on my cot reading a book enjoying the peace. Leather back, the Big daddy, and Sprout, the little sister are sitting in the corner. Leather back is teach Sprout to count. Lightning is helping Scrap make some contraption or another.
Suddenly the top wall vent falls off and a petite spider splicer with purple hair and eye's drops in to the room. She looks at all of us before focusing on me.
"Braniac needs you to make a GenX delivery." She tells me.
Finally. Fucking finally. I meant for there to be five chapters for the Big Daddy repair arc but it ended up being four. Sorry but I like it. I know its a little fast but it felt right so I went with it. i hope you all enjoyed it.
The next arc is the Delivery arc. I am hoping it will be better than this one. So who is this new girl that drops in to the gangs hide out? Who is or what is GenX? What is the delivery? Am I asking to many questions? Yes. Yes I am.
Anyway guys thanks so much for ready. Please leave a review. Also I will be starting a new fanfic soon. You guys should check it out. see you guys next time in the deep.
