Archangel

...Where is the face inside me...

Angels Vs. Archangel

A black limousine pulled up to a large factory miles away from Kevin's office building. The back door of the limousine opened as Kevin Winters stepped out of the limousine and onto the sidewalk outside the factory.

Kevin adjusted his navy blue business suit as Odin hurried to his side. "I trust that matters are taken care of, Odin?" Odin nodded his head in reply as black suited security guards exited the building and approached Kevin. "Very good. Time to shine."

The black suited security guards led Kevin and Odin through the large factory and into a large conference room. Kevin waved Odin away as he crossed the threshold into the conference room.

Inside the room was a long rectangular table where many scientists sat at, all watching Kevin. Kevin walked over to the head of the table. He grinned. Everything was perfect.

"Good morning gentlemen," greeted Kevin. "As you all may know my name is Kevin Winters, the founder of many new chemicals and hopefully the evolution of the human race." Everyone was silent, listening to Kevin. "I have come to discuss with you all about OTHER."

Kevin paused as he gathered his thoughts. "OTHER was designed and created to be the next ultimate military weapon. To this very day it is! We have tested OTHER numerous times and all the results are the same. OTHER works!"

"But OTHER was stolen a few weeks ago! How could you have tested a product that isn't there?" asked one of the scientists.

Kevin's grin faded a bit. "The tests were done even before the robbery. All that was left were the minor details. I have come to ask your permission to accept OTHER so we can present it to the government for one final inspection."

Kevin looked around. All the faces in the room were bright and hopeful. He knew it! He had secured the fate of OTHER! But why wouldn't the world want OTHER? OTHER was the beginning of the evolution!

The door to the conference room blew open as two black suited security guards fell into the room, unconscious. I crossed the threshold and grinned at all the shocked faces.

"Hello," I quickly found Kevin. He was slowly backing into a wall, fear ripping through his entire body. My grin morphed into a frown. "…Winters…"

The scientists screamed and ran out of the room which was fine with me. I slowly approached the terrified Kevin Winters. Finally some answers. I felt my blood boil as I watched him. Sudden anger.

"Help! HELP!" cried Kevin.

I ran over and grabbed the moron by his neck and threw his back against the wall. My fingers were tight around his neck, chokingly tight. "Kevin…you fool! How many times have I beaten your security and you still try to forget me?!" A gasp escaped Kevin's lips. I grinned. "Now that we both know who is in control let me ask you again what you refused to answer. Who was your partner in creating OTHER?"

Kevin stared at me, trying to breathe. "S-Storm…S-Storm y-you'll never kn-know!"

I tore out a dirty knife from underneath my coat. How'd I come to possess this knife? Don't ask. "Idiot!" I stabbed the knife into Kevin's shoulder. He cried out in pain. "Tell me or that knife goes into your head!"

Someone grabbed me by my shoulders and flung me across the room. I landed on top of the long rectangular table. I quickly got up in time to see Dylan standing in front of Kevin, protecting him from me. I glared at her as Kevin pulled the bloody knife out of his shoulder.

I stood on top of the table as I made my way back towards my victim and my enemy. "Move!" My voice was dark and demanding.

"Kevin, go!" shouted Dylan. Kevin bolted out of the room at the speed of light.

My eyes were full of anger as Kevin escaped the room and ran towards freedom. "No!" I turned my back to Dylan as I ran across the table, after Kevin.

Dylan kicked out at the legs of the table. They broke on impact as the table collapsed to the floor, bringing me down with it. I quickly got back to my feet and spun to face Dylan. I jumped over the broken table and landed two feet away from her. She went to punch me but I caught her fist and used my other hand to grip her arm. I swung her into a wall as hard as I could. Dylan gasped in pain.

I left her there, trying to get up. I ran out of the conference room and into the hallway. I was knocked a couple feet off my feet. I landed on my back and looked to find Alex standing a mere foot where I had been earlier. This was getting annoying. They had set up a trap for me. I jumped to my feet. Flames burnt in my eyes. I was feeling so angry. So pissed and I was going to use this rage to get Kevin. I was going to get Kevin and the name of his partner. I was tired of failing.

I charged at Alex as she kicked me again in the ribs. I didn't feel a thing as I threw at her a series of kicks of punches. After long minutes of her and I attacking and deflecting, I managed to kick her down. I angrily kicked her in the side repeatedly just for the heck of it.

Dylan bolted out of the conference room and jumped on me from behind. I tumbled to the floor and rolled down the hallway, her and I. Dylan held me tightly as she kneed me multiple times. The pain wasn't much as I banged heads with her, on purpose, making her loosen up her hold on me. I broke free and rolled to my feet. I spun around as Dylan and Alex got to their feet and quickly came at me again.

I put on a defensive stance as they attacked me. I blocked most of their attacks but not all. Suddenly I felt my back touch a wall. Damn. I stopped blocking and kicked out at both Dylan and Alex to delay them a bit. Then I kicked off the wall and flew overhead and landed behind them.

I bolted down the hallway but Natalie bolted out of another room as we both skidded to a stop. I heard whimpering behind her and caught a glimpse of Kevin in the room Natalie had left.

Natalie punched me straight in the face. I spun now my back to her. A small hint of pain coursed through my body. Fuel for my anger. I watched Dylan and Alex rise to their feet and hurry over to aid their friend in battle. I heard Natalie moving to try to knock me out. My hand shot out behind me and grabbed her arm. I angrily threw her over my head and into her friends. I watched them collapse to the floor. The saw droplets of blood on the clean white flooring of the hallway. I paid no attention. So what if I had hurt one of the angels?

I ran into the room to find Kevin standing very calmly in the room. He was no longer a scared puppy but a strong bull dog. Weird. I ran over and grabbed him by his throat and threw his back against a glass window. He still didn't whimper or show any signs of fear.

Kevin looked at me as he showed me no emotion. "You just never give up. You cannot handle failure, can you Miss. Storm?"

My gaze hardened. That anger doubled. So much anger that I had never felt before made my arms shake for a few seconds. "Tell me! Who was your partner? TELL ME!" I was bellowing at Kevin now.

Kevin suddenly grinned and laughed. "Your drawing blood, Miss. Storm."

Then I felt it. The warm sticky liquid running down and in-between my fingers. I suddenly released Kevin as I spotted small cuts around his neck where I had been holding him. His cuts were bleeding. He didn't seem to care as I glanced down at my fingers. They were covered in blood. Yet that was not the worst part.

My hands…they were not hands! My fingers were curled and sharp black talons replaced my fingernails and the tips of my fingers. The skin around my hands and running up my arms was paling up. The anger inside my did not die as I stared at my talon like hands in terror. What was going on?

I looked up and gasped as I saw my reflection in the glass window. My hair was a crimson red color and my eyes were no longer blue sapphire but two black stones. My face was as pale as my hands and arms. I looked back at Kevin. "You-You…" I shook my head at Kevin. He stood there, grinning! "What do you know about this?"

Kevin left his cuts to bleed. More damage on my part. "I knew the change would occur sooner or later. I just needed to get you angry enough." Kevin heard movement outside the room. Perfect. "There is no use continuing your mission Miss. Storm. You will never be able to kill me."

I was about to strike when footsteps entered the room. I restrained my attack as I leaped backwards and flew over the angels and landed near the doorway. I did not bother anymore with the angels as I darted out into the hallway and took off at amazing speed.

The angels ran out into the room but halted when they found themselves standing in an empty hallway. I was long gone. Yeah I ran pretty fast that day. The angels walked back into the room to make sure I hadn't hurt Kevin. They only spotted the small cuts around his neck.

Kevin wiped the blood away this time. He put on an irritated look. "Damn woman. I thought you said this trap would work!"

"It did," argued Natalie. "She was going to kill you. She didn't. You should be happy."

Kevin sighed in defeat. "I am. Yet I would prefer to not keep looking over my shoulder." Kevin simply shook his head as he straightened his navy blue business suit he was wearing.

"What did she say to you?" asked Dylan.

"That she was going to kill me," Kevin paused as he came up with a good story to fool the angels. "…then she darted out of the room once you three came." Kevin felt the stinging pain of his wounded shoulder. "Nothing more."

Dylan seemed to doubt that but didn't question Kevin further. Kevin saw Odin appear at the doorway. Kevin nodded at Odin and quietly walked past the angels and out of the room.

Kevin reached the doorway but halted as he spoke aloud. "My business trip is over. I am heading back to my office building. You three can follow if you want to." With that said he strolled out of the room and left with Odin at his side.
