Adam walked through the rain, making his way to an apartment building to see Test and the others. He was actually zoning out, seeing a huge explosion through the eyes of his friend, the crow. Adam reached the building and ran up the steps to the correct floor. Suddenly, he sensed something was wrong as he touched a wall. Suddenly a scream emitted, though he knew he was seeing a flashback. "Tosha!" Adam ran through the hall, yelling out the names of his four family members.
Test groaned and coughed up blood as a boot heel connected with his door, kicking it in. Adam ran to him and picked him up, sitting Test on the couch. "What happened here, brother?" Adam asked, trying to wash the wounds of his brother. "Exa… he has… Damian… kids… TOSH!" With his final yell his head fell back and more blood spilled out of his throat.
Adam stood, laying his long vest over Test. "Please be alive." Adam asked the poor man. Then he sprinted forward, dove out of a window, and landed on his face. He stood and began sprinting through town.
Adam walked into an abandoned gun shop, finding blood on every wall. It was sickening, but he could manage. Suddenly a scream pierced his ears. "Sarah." Adam ran up a stairway to the upper floor, where he found four of his family members sitting, being hit with sticks and bars. "Hey, you." Adam grinned and fired a shotgun at the men. They all fell with blood flying from their bodies, which splashed onto his family. Adam ran up and untied his family. "Exather will be here soon, bro. We gotta get out of here." Damian said, getting up. "You go, family. This is my fight." Adam assisted his family in running to a car, which Damian hotwired. "Nice seeing you again, now go." Adam urged them on as a Camaro pulled around a corner and drifted into a spot. Damian sped away and was out of sight. "Where were they going, hmm?" Exather rammed a metal pole into Adam's head.
Adam yelled and fell to the concrete, grabbing his skull. "Ha, you aren't so tough." Exather laughed, putting his hand in his pocket. "Neither are you. Oh, and heads up." Adam smiled as he jumped up and a crow flew from the sky, attacking Exather. Exather pulled his hand from his pocket, sliding out the blade of a box cutter, which he used to behead the poor black bird. "There, one problem solved." Exather then turned and pushed Adam back, swiftly stabbing him with the cutter. Adam cried out as blood trickled from his chest. "Without your bird, you are nothing. You're just a stupid little dead boy that was never meant for these powers." Exather grabbed the body of the crow and drank the blood it had spilled.
Exather grinned as he rose his arms up. "I have the power now." Exather grinned as he stomped on Adam, making blood spill. "No, Exather, you stole that power. That power belongs only to the crows." Adam grabbed Exather's foot and tossed him away. Adam jumped up and spread his arms so his shadow resembled Jesus Christ. "Kill one, anger all." Adam chanted, as the moon was covered with red eyed black birds. They swooped down and ripped through Exather, making a wall of black and red. Suddenly, flames erupted from this wall as a lit match was tossed. Exather laughed as his wounds healed. "Burn, birds, BURN!" Exather yelled as he ran and tackled Adam. A sudden pain shot through him as he heard his Uzi go off. Adam had grabbed the small machine gun while Exather was attacking, and now was using it.
"One year ago, you shot me, stabbed my wife, raped my wife, then shot her, then you burned our house. Though I can't say I know her pain, i know enough to make you feel it." Adam said as he rammed the box cutter's blade into Exather's body as many times as he could manage. Then Adam grabbed Exather's face, crushing his skull as he transferred all the pained memories and all the sadness he and his wife went through, as well as what he had taken from Test. When he let go, Exather choked out two words, "I'm... sorry." Exather cried. "It's too late." Adam pushed exather down, and he was lifted by the crows,who carried both Adam and Exather away.
They all stopped and dropped exather down, where he hit a metal pole and fell onto a metal sphere. Adam dropped a grenade into the fenced-in area, and it exploded the insinerater. Exather screamed as the fire overtook him, turning him to ash in seconds. Then the birds flew to a graveyard.
They dropped Adam next to his grave, Where he smiled and leaned on the stone. "I'm coming my love, I'm finally done." Adam's spirit left him and he grew black wings, flying up to his wife. "Welcome, my love." He and Sam then shared their first kiss in one year.
And through it all, the crow watched.
