Chapter ten has arrived guys and glad this is going well. Glad people are enjoying the story and are liking how many like this. I appreciate the support guys and for the reviews. I hope you all will like this chapter and decided I will upload the next chapters randomly when I think is a good time to upload them.
So, how are things going to go now? Will they fight with more members of the Regime? Will they end up fighting Superman soon too? Will they be able to stop them? Or will things end badly for them?
Check out the chapter to find out. Also, yes this will be different from the game. It won't be all the same with the heroes involved, but how it will all go down will be the same. You will know what I mean when the story continues to progress.
Now then, I don't own anything from Guardians of the Galaxy or the DC Universe. Just my OCs and enjoy the chapter everyone.
Chapter X
Gotham (Unknown year)
Kara and Jason soon arrived at the city where they looked from the rooftop. They stayed out of sight not wanting to be spotted by any of the officers of the Regime. Kara could hear a lot of people talking about what they are feeling and about Superman. Calling him a monster, how they are afraid, and how they want hope again.
It made her feel horrible for how her cousin has caused so much harm. All in the name of justice. If you can even call anything he does justice. She understood why he did what he did, but this wasn't right.
No peace can be achieved through the deaths of so many innocent people and becoming a corrupted dictator. She knows this, especially how many tyrants her and her team has fought. How many have justified their crimes and say they did it for peace. Oh what a cruel lie.
"You all right?" Jason asked noticing how quiet she has been since they arrived.
Kara wipes out a small tear from her eyes and nods. "I can't seem to find them. Do you think they're all right?"
Jason knew she was bothered by all of this, but knew she would talk to him about it later when she is ready. "They'll be okay. For now though we need to find a safe place to meet up and then send the signal to Arthur where to pick us up."
"Hopefully not a place where we will be spotted," said Kara as they see a helicopter flying nearby. "Let's go."
The two made it off the roof and made their way down an alleyway. All while hearing sirens driving by them.
"Hard to imagine us running from the law," said Jason who didn't expect them to be hunted down by any law enforcement. "I mean, not as much as my father before he became a hero."
Kara nods in response. "It really makes you wonder. I wonder if there are any heroes left who haven't join Superman."
"How about some who are still alive?" Jason asked as they stop when they see someone standing in their way.
A dark armored figure with a bat symbol on his chest. Jason got out his blaster and aims it at the figure.
"Um hi there. You a friend or are you a foe?"
Unknown location
Arthur sat in the cockpit playing with a rubix cube, while the song *Blue Swede - Hooked on a Feeling* being played all around the ship. Aya meanwhile is busy working on jamming any chances for the Regime to detect them. A task that was challenging for her since it meant they had to make sure they couldn't use their communicators. Without it being detected by the Regime.
Meanwhile, Kilowog is also in the cockpit pacing around while waiting for Aya to finish. He sees Arthur playing with the cube and seems to be humming along to the song. Something that was starting to bother him. His friends are being chased around by the Regime and he is sitting around playing with a stupid toy while listening to this stupid song.
"How can you be so calm and relaxed while your friends are in danger? And what is up with this dumb song?" he asked while trying to cover his ears.
Arthur looks up at Kilowog and sighed. "First of all this song is actually pretty good, especially when you are trying to keep your mind busy. At first I never understood why Jason would listen to these old songs, until he told us how his father loved playing these enjoyed listening to them with his dad and how much of an influence he was to him. He left him these songs to listen to and it was his last gift before his death.
Kilowog removes his hands from his ears when he heard what Arthur said and felt bad for Jason's father. He then tried to listen to the song and how it wasn't as bad as it was once he gave it a chance.
"So um, what's the second thing?" Kilowog asked.
Arthur finished playing with the cube and tossed it to Kilowog. "Secondly, I'm playing with this game to help me be calm. I'm worried about them and I want to be out there to help. But, I know they trust me and they know I will go to save them. Once of course Aya is done with the ship."
Speak of the devil Aya walked into the room. "The ship is now secured and we won't be tracked down provided we don't try hacking into anything that they can hack into. However, I would like to work on creating a special frequency to help us speak with the team without them detecting it."
"What do you need?" Arthur asked wondering how he can help.
Aya thought about it and came up with an idea. "I'm not sure. A shame we do not have telepathy like Rachel. That would make things much easier for us."
Arthur couldn't help but nod in agreement. That was until he heard something. "Did you guys hear that?"
"Hear what?" Kilowog asked not hearing a thing.
Arthur heard it again, except this time it sounded like a voice. "Sounds like a voice…talking to me?"
"A voice? Kid I think you might be losing it there," said Kilowog who thinks the kid might be hearing things.
Aya though knew Arthur better and knew his mind was not being lost as Kilowog suggested. "What is it telling you? Perhaps it might be Rachel?"
Arthur scoffed when she said that. "Not unless she let the bird out of her cage," he said as he paid attention and heard the voice telling him a place to go to. "It says it wants me to go to…Atlantis? Okay, now I think I am losing it."
Kilowog however wasn't sure about that. "You sure it said Atlantis?"
Aya turns to Kilowog who seems to have an idea what the voice is saying. "Is it a city or the actual underwater city?"
"The real deal," Kilowog replied as he turns to Arthur. "Although, I wouldn't advise going there. The guy in charge was cool with the surface world, until Superman went nuts. I heard before I was put under their control the guy is considering joining Superman."
"Well, if this voice wants me to go down there then I say we check it out. Who knows? It could be someone friendly who needs help," said Arthur who wanted to check this place out.
"I agree. If it is a friend then we must help," said Aya who wanted to go check the place out too.
Kilowog sighed as he knew he was outnumbered. "Okay. I'll follow you rookies. Not that I have much of a choice."
"That's the spirit. Aya, take us under and let's go to Atlantis!" said Arthur as the ship began to dive underwater.
Fortress of Solitude (Unknown year)
Superman stood in front of his computer speaking with Cyborg to get an update on what happened. Earlier he finished working on a device that would allow him control over the monster Doomsday. He knew he couldn't kill the monster since he found it would come back to life. So, he decided to find a way to control it and use it to do what he wants.
He hasn't tested it yet, but is confident it will work. Once it does he will use the monster to do what he wants. However, this was overshadowed with what Cyborg has to report. And it appeared whoever came to see his parents is causing trouble already.
Cyborg explained how they found Sinestro and Hal unconscious without their power rings. Hal's was destroyed, while Sinestro's was missing. He went on to give details of the people he fought. Even a recording of them.
One of a young man wearing a strange helmet made it difficult for him to identify, but the girl was easier. She had short blonde hair, blue eyes, and fair skin. Also appears she is young, but very strong. Strong enough to break through Cyborg's arm and take out Raven with one punch.
Once Hal and Sinestro wakes up he hopes to get more information soon. Superman's anger soon grew when he heard this. It was bad enough he is still dealing with finding Batman and end his Insurgence, but now he has to deal with these outsiders. It was also now possible they will soon meet up with Batman. If they do they will join him and fight against him.
"Find them. And any others that might be out there. I want to know everything," he ordered before turning off the computer.
"Trouble?" Wonder Woman asked as she walks over to Superman.
Superman nods in response. "Nothing we can't handle, but we need to find who these people are soon before the trouble becomes a headache. Has Captain Marvel and Flash gone to Atlantis?"
Wonder Woman nods in response. "They just took off and will be there soon. You sure you don't want me to look for these intruders?"
Superman shook his head in response. "I've send Hawgirl and Nightwing to find them. Bring them in and then we'll get our answers."
Ocean
The ship continued heading towards the city of Atlantis as Arthur went to get his gear ready to get inside the city without being detected. Meanwhile, Aya is in the cockpit with Kilowog as she flies them to the city. They wouldn't be long from arriving, but Kilowog suggested they don't get too close. Just in case the Atlanteans detect them.
Aya agreed with that suggestion and used the ship's cloaking device to keep them hidden. While also deciding to keep the ship from a safe distance. For Arthur he would need to use an underwater scooter to help him get to the facility. Once he finds the person that is calling him they will need to get out soon.
As they head to the city Kilowog decided to ask Aya something that has been bugging him. "So, um I was wanted to ask you this question. Are you a Green Lantern?"
Aya turns to Kilowog and wasn't sure how to reply to it. "I am unsure if I am one or not. Why do you ask?"
"Well, you have our symbol on your chest," Kilowog pointed to the Green Lantern symbol on Aya's chest. "You also use the same green energy that we use. Except you don't use a power ring and your body seems to be made out of the green energy."
Aya turns her attention back to the viewport of the ship with a confused expression on her face. "When I came to Jason's universe I was damaged and couldn't remember anything. I had in my possession a large lantern that carried the energy I use to help power our ship and fight if I need to."
Aya mentioned to Kilowog about this earlier and even showed him the lantern. This was actually a large power battery that was similar to the one used back home. It was smaller, but he could feel the power from it. How it was indeed a Green Lantern battery and it seems to have unlimited energy.
"When we came back here my memories slowly began slowly coming back. Bits of pieces here and there at least with whoever made me still a blur in my mind," Aya explained as she recalls seeing her creator or at least who she believes is her creator.
Kilowog listened carefully and was amazed at how this robot he just met could use the same power as a Green Lantern. While also actually has 'feelings'. She can feel real emotions, which was hard for him to imagine any robot to have. Not unless they were once living beings like Cyborg.
"Aya, are we there?" they hear Arthur speaking to her through the intercom breaking the silence.
The ship soon arrives near the city, which was much bigger than expected. "Yes we have and it appears quite beautiful."
"Yeah it is," said Kilowog who knows where the city is at, but never has seen it before. "You ready kid?"
"Ready," said Arthur as Aya opens the wet room allowing water to fill it up as Arthur swims through the doorway as he heads towards the city.
Gotham
Laura, Rachel, and Groot soon arrived to the city while trying their best to remain hidden. Thankfully Rachel used her powers to knock out any soldiers of the Regime. Even 'borrowed' one of their vehicles to drive them to the city. Luckily Laura did the driving as the got them to the city before abandoning the vehicle.
They got out and find they are near what appeared to be an abandoned alleyway. Near what also appeared to be a strip club. With the name 'Joker' on it and the face of a clown in the glass. They recall Kilowog telling them about this Joker and what he did.
"Hard to imagine this payaso caused Superman to turn evil," said Laura as she stares at the clown.
"Not really hard to imagine," said Rachel as she placed her hand on Laura's shoulder. "If he tricked you to kill someone you love and destroy your home I'm sure any of us would have done the same thing. At least lose it."
Laura couldn't help but agree with what Rachel said. She knew the feeling of rage when she loses someone close and how she wanted to kill. She even saw it with Logan who was so full of pain, rage, but also seems to regret how things turned out for him. In the end though he fought to try making up for those sins to be good and save lives.
Had it not been for him she doesn't know where she would have been. "If I ever did something like this, would you stop me?"
Rachel smiled at Laura and gives her a hug. "I was about to ask you to do the same thing for me."
Laura smiled at Rachel before slashing at the Joker's face with her claws. "God that is an ugly grin."
Groot smiled at the two girls when he is shot from behind. The girls turn around and see an older woman with white face paint on her face, a black mask over her eyes, pigtails, appears to be wearing a strange getup and has a shotgun which she is aiming at them.
"Don't know who you kiddies are, but a little birdie told me some brats are causing trouble for the Regime. If you are them I suggest you come with me," said the woman as she cocks her weapon.
"Lady, I don't know who you are, but I would advice not shooting at either of us, especially our friend you just shot," said Rachel as Groot recovered from the shot and appeared upset.
"Not the first time I fought against a big plant thing and I ain't afraid to fight another one," said the woman as she aims her gun at Groot.
However, Rachel used her powers to grab the gun out of the woman's hand. Laura leaps over Groot and tackles the woman down with her claws extended near her neck, while the woman pulled out a gun aiming it at her head.
The woman noticed the claws and seemed surprised. "You kids definitely aren't from around here. I guess Bats was right after all."
Rachel approached the woman with Groot standing behind her. "I suggest you put that away. Shooting someone who can heal from injuries like a gunshot wound won't do you any good."
The woman turns to Laura who had a look of anger on her face. The woman soon began to smile and then began laughing as she pulled the trigger but instead water squirted out hitting Laura in the face.
"Relax kids. I know better than to try fighting ya," said the woman as she tosses the toy gun away. "I just wanted to see how tough you three are before I take you all to see Batman."
Rachel and Laura turn to each other when this woman mentioned that name. They recall Kilowog telling them how Batman was the only one from the Justice League who fought against Superman. How he was alive last time he heard, but hasn't heard much about any of his activities as of late. Hearing this woman say she is working for Batman means she is on their side.
Laura got off of her and Rachel helps her up. "Who are you?"
"Harleen Quinzel," the woman replied revealing her name. "What do I call you kids?"
Rachel ignored the kid comment and introduced themselves. "The name is Rachel. This is Laura and this is Groot. You also mentioned Batman knows about us? Where is he?"
"Probably rounding up your buddies so we can all meet. While we wait do you guys want to join me for a little rally I'm putting together?" Harleen asked.
"I am Groot?" Groot asked.
"Yeah, your buddy told me your name tree guy," said Harleen as she turns to the girls. "The talking tree here is a little slow?"
Laura shook her head in response. El árbol que habla is our friend and he doesn't talk like us. His people only know how to say 'I am' or 'I'm' Groot."
Rachel nods in response to what her friend said. "Once we got to know him better we understood more on what he is saying."
"Ooooh," Harleen understood as she turns to Groot and figured what he asked. "Yes, a big rally I am hosting with my little followers. I formed them to help fight the Regime and be sort of Batman's army. What do you say? You interested?"
Rachel turns to her two teammates who just shrugged their shoulders figuring they don't have much of a choice. If this woman is working for Batman they might as well join her. If she is right about finding their friends then they can all meet at the same place. And discuss what to do next.
"All right. Let's go then," said Rachel as they begin following Harleen to her place.
Atlantis
Arthur arrives to the city of Atlantis using an underwater scooter. Thankfully the cloaking suit that Aya made for the team got him passed any of the security of the city. He managed to get in after knocking out a guard and uses his suit to disguise himself as the guard. Once he was in he began looking for the one who contacted him through telepathy.
Luckily he has a device that will allow him to track down someone who has a strong mental powers. Something that Rachel helped design in case she was ever captured or if they encountered another psychic like her. It isn't long before his device begins taking him to what appeared to be a large library. This left him in awe as he began looking around.
It was no secret he was a book nerd and enjoyed reading more than fighting. Something his mom was glad to know since she wanted her son to be less like his father. He walked around the place and was tempted to read some of the books. However, he snapped out of his thoughts and remembered why he is here.
But before he could do anything he is spotted by someone. "Hello, can I help you?" he turns around and sees an elderly man who approached him.
"Oh um yes I thought I heard some noises in here and I came to check it out," Arthur lied trying to remain undercover.
The old man continued staring at the young man causing Arthur to be worried. "You are new recruit aren't you?"
Arthur want sure if he should go with that to see if it will work, but at this point he didn't have a choice. "Um, y-yes sir. I am new and just a little nervous sir."
The old man chuckles softly as he pats the boy on the shoulder. "I understand your nervousness, especially with the king planning to sign the treaty."
"The treaty?" Arthur then cleared his throat trying to sound he forgot about it. "Oh um yes the treaty. Yes, I am nervous about that, especially who it is with."
"And you should be," said the old man as he shows the boy around. "Ever since Superman formed the One Earth government Regime it has become difficult for our king to rule without conflict occurring. Our king once held respect for Superman, but that all changed with what happened five years ago."
Arthur recalled the story he was told and went along with this. "Yes, I remember what happened. The Joker tricked Superman into killing his wife and son, which resulted in the destruction of his city."
"Indeed," the old man replied as he continued. "Afterwards he showed no restrain. Judge, jury, and executioner, he and other like-minded metahuman reined in the criminal element."
'Which made him quite popular," said Arthur as he looks up at the fountain that was in the room. "I take it this is why the king is considering this treaty?"
The old man nods in response, while sighing softly. "Many Atlanteans look up to him and his guidance. However, many don't approve of this treaty."
Arthur decided to try something and hopes he won't get caught. "If I may, I haven't been told much about the treaty from the other guards. Just that it makes them upset about it and don't like it."
The old man turns to the young man and again pats him on the shoulder. "Not surprise to hear this. The treaty will bring peace between the surface world and Atlantis. However, the kingdom will be under the control of Superman. Even call upon the army of Atlantis to go to war upon his command."
Arthur was shocked and upset to hear this. It's one thing to force peace on a kingdom, but to be forced to do what this psychopath wants upon his command? Maybe it's the Asgardian in him, but even he found this treaty to be disgusting. However, he soon tried to calm himself down when a guard came in to speak with the old man.
"Sir, the king wishes to speak to you," the guard said to the old man before turning to Arthur. "And you, go keep our guests company."
"Y-yes sir," Arthur replied before he bid goodbye to the old man forgetting that he came to find the psychic that he was looking for.
By the time he realized what he is supposed to do he walks into the room where he sees two of who he can guess are Regime members. Oh this was not good at all as he presses a button that he hopes will get to Aya to come assist him. He walks over to the throne room and stood in attention. Until he noticed the one in the red suit with a lightning bolt on his chest as a symbol approached him.
"Relax son, this won't take too long," said the red suite man.
Arthur however didn't say anything and just stood silent. His friend though approached him and stared at him. "You look a little young to be a guard aren't you?"
"Says the guy who is really a kid?" said the red suited man.
"That's different Flash," said the hooded man.
"Whatever," said Flash as walks up to the kid hoping he isn't offended since they needed this to go well. "Don't listen to Shazam. He still has a lot to learn."
Arthur's eye wanders down to what he believes is the treaty. "Is that it?"
Flash looks down at the treaty and shows it to the kid. "Yep. Listen, I know many of you here are not happy with this treaty, but trust us. This is going to help both sides in the end."
Arthur tried to remain calm since he didn't want this to end badly. However, that changed when they noticed three guards running into the room.
"What's going on?" Shazam asked.
"There's an intruder in the palace. We're checking every room," said one of the guards.
Before Flash could react Arthur grabs the treaty and punches him in the face. Knocking him into the guards and knocking them out. Shazam goes to shock him with an electric blast, but Arthur jumps out of the way. He rushes at him and hits him with the bottom end of his sword knocking him to the ground.
Arthur goes to end it, when he gets hit by Flash. He was moving fast and kept hitting him as he dodges his swing. Arthur though has encountered people like Flash before and was prepared. He swings his sword below to force him to jump.
Once he did Arthur kicks him in the gut and knocks him to the ground. Flash recovered from the attack and began catching his breath.
"You must be the visitors that came to Earth. I don't know who you are kid, but you made a big mistake attacking us," said Flash as he rushes at him again.
Arthur this time was ready again and throws his sword at him. Flash easily dodged it and tries to grab the handle of it. However, the sword sends him flying towards the wall where it jabs into. He recovered and tried to pull the sword, but it wasn't budging.
Arthur moves his hand up and commands the sword to send electricity to Flash causing him to scream in pain. He flies towards them and kicks Flash in the face sending him into the water. Arthur fires more electricity shocking him. He made sure to keep it low so it wouldn't kill him, but knock him out.
"Funny, it looks you both made the mistake of being on the wrong side," said Arthur as he takes his sword out of the wall, just in time to dodge an attack from Shazam. "Let's not take this any further than it should. Let's just talk."
"Time for talking is over, especially when you attacked us and the Regime," said Shazam as he fires another attack, which Arthur dodged. "Now you will surrender or I will hurt you."
Shazam fires another electric attack, which Arthur's sword easily absorbed. "It's not me who is going to end up getting hurt," he thrusts his sword forward as a bolt of lightning is fired from it and hits Shazam in the chest sending him towards the wall.
Arthur approached him and sighed as he puts his sword away before pulling out the treaty to rip it apart. "Well, that's taken care of."
However, Shazam woke up and grabs him as he sends electricity through his body causing Arthur to scream in pain. He continued to do this trying not to kill the kid, but knock him out like he did to his friend. Suddenly though Arthur's screams stopped and he smiled. He grabs Shazam's face and returns the electricity through his body causing him pain before knocking him out.
Arthur began panting a little. "I guess all that training from Dr. Strange paid off," he said recalling his training from the good doctor and how to be immune to electricity and even use t against his foe. "Now if only dad had bothered teaching me that."
Before he could celebrate though he sees the king of Atlantis arriving with his men. The king looks around to find Flash and Shazam unconscious. Along with the treaty ripped in half. He motions for his men to surround the boy.
"I don't know who you are, but you made a big mistake coming here and interfering in affairs that are not your own," said the king as he stood before his men with his trident at hand.
"Your right. This isn't my problem, but as someone that comes from royalty I don't like it when one kingdom is forced into the bidding of a mad man's tyranny," said Arthur who showed his disgust for what the king was willing to do. "Even if they believe it's in the name of peace."
"Mind your tongue, boy. Don't assume you know what is going on here," said the king who clearly was as upset as Arthur.
"I actually am getting the idea," said Arthur as he lectures the king. "You would throw away your kingdom like a pair of worn boots? To someone who is clearly insane."
"The treaty requires Superman to maintain Earth's ocean. And recognize our anatomy," the king explained.
"You mean you end up being his personal bitch and make your army his hounds to attack when ordered," said Arthur causing the guards to aim their weapons at him.
"I will not let you disrespect me any further. Take him!" the king ordered as his men go to attack him, when they are blasted away by a green energy blast.
Arthur looks up and sees Aya flying into the room. "Sorry if I took too long, but I had to be sure Kilowog could fly the ship if we need a quick getaway."
"Just glad you got my call," said Arthur as he turns to the king. "I never got along with my father who rules a kingdom, but even he is a better king than you."
"Enough of this. I will end this with your death," said the king as he jumps up and brings his trident down on him.
Arthur swings his sword as both weapons collided. The force of both weapons sends everyone in the room flying. Arthur and Aya hit the glass chamber causing it to crack, while the king and his men hit the walls cracking them as well. Arthur helps Aya up as the king gets back to his feet.
Shazam and Flash began recovering as well as they join Aquaman along with more men. Aya and Arthur prepared to fight when all of a sudden a large green skinned monster appeared from the ground. The monsters lets out a loud roar and swings its tail at the enemy knocking them against the wall causing it to fall on top of them. The monster grabs Aya and Arthur as it helps phase them through the glass before more guards could arrive.
The monster takes them back to their ship as the monster turns into the old man that Arthur met. Arthur got up with Aya behind him and Kilowog getting into the room when he saw them coming back.
"I apologize for that. I didn't have time to explain myself before I pulled you both out of there," said the old man as he hopes to calm them down. "Relax, if I was your enemy I would have assisted the Regime and not you three."
Arthur knew that was true and puts his sword away. "I thought you were the old man I met in the library. But are you the telepath that contacted me?"
"Yes I am and I believe the title I went by was royal archivist," said the old man. "Still, it is nice to meet you Arthur Foster."
"Wait, how did you…" Arthur then realized the old man read his thoughts. "Right, forgot you read my mind. So, I take it you know we aren't from around here?"
The old man nods in response. "That is why I contacted you. I was hoping to meet you so I can help get you to Batman so you may join your friends."
"Batman? Wait, he's alive?" Kilowog asked who seemed happy. "That's great. Where is he?"
"Gotham. I can take you to him so you can meet with him," said the old man as he took out a tablet and hands it to Aya. "We should hurry though before Superman sends more of his friends to find you all."
Aya nods in response before going to the ship to start it up and punch in the coordinates. Arthur though stood watching the old man looking confused.
"You a shapeshifter right? If so and you knew who I was then why didn't you tell me when we first met?" he asked having so many questions about the old man.
"I apologize, but I wanted to see what you would do if you knew what Aquaman was going to do," the old man explained at best he can. "I'm also not just a shapeshifter, but also not human as well."
Kilowog soon realized who the old man is. "I know who you are. You're Martian Manhunter, J'onn J'onzz right? But I thought you were dead? Superman killed you years ago."
"That is true. J'onn J'onzz died years ago when he tried fighting Superman, but…" the old man soon transformed again. This time taking the form of a green skinned woman, with long red hair, amber eyes, freckles underneath them, she is wearing a black suit with a red-colored X symbol on her chest, and a long blue cape. "I am a Martian. My name is M'gann M'orzz or Megan for short. I am J'onn J'onzz niece and it's nice to meet you all."
Surprise motherfuckers! Yep, I have brought Miss Martian into the story. I am getting different information that J'onn is alive and isn't alive. So, I thought why not bring in Miss Martian into the story?
I heard a lot of people want her in the series, so might as well bring her in. Still, I hope everyone liked how this went. Also I hope you enjoyed the fight. I decided to make the chapters longer by adding them with some of the other completed chapters.
However, it will be specific chapters. So, keep that in mind. Anyways, thanks again guys for the reviews and to my friend for his help on the story. I appreciate it guys and for the support.
If you all like the chapter then please leave some reviews. If you didn't like this then don't leave a flame review please. Seriously, those are not cool guys. I'll see you guys next time and take care.
