Enjoy.
"You're all mine" said the being atrociously. Then he made his move.
Who the fuck is this guy?
The guy covered in the alien substance ran down the hall approaching me with inhuman speed. My eyes watched in disbelief as he ran up the side of the wall. He launched off and sent a fist towards my face. I spun around and dodged the blow. I looked at the depth of the hole he left in the wall and back at my opponent. He hissed with anger.
He ran towards me delivering a roundhouse kick, I maneuvered out the way and booted him in the chest. The guy back-flipped and landed on his feet and shot out two black strings of alien goo at me, they stuck to my chest and the creature pulled me towards him. I was lifted off the ground and he kicked me in the chest as my body went flying through a wall.
Fuck, he's strong
I heard his footsteps walk towards the giant circle in the wall. He walked into the room and looked around.
"Looking for me?" I asked as I jumped off the floor boards on the ceiling.
The guy looked up and to his demise; he caught a kick to the face. He went tumbling backwards out of the huge hole in the wall. I landed and walked towards him. He looked up as he recovered and let out another creepy hiss. I raised a hand at him and shot out a light beam.
In the blink of an eye, the creature ran and jumped off the floor and with his unbelievable speed; he jumped on the light beam and leaped off a few seconds just before it exploded. His hand met my face, punishing me with a left hook for my ignorance. I fell to the floor and just as I tried to stand, the guy pounced, restraining me from getting up.
"You've been so caught up in your worthless life that you forgot what you did to me" The guy said holding me down.
I tried to fight but his grip was unbreakable.
"Now I get to take back what's-"
"JAY!"
We both froze at the sound of a female voice.
"Morrigan!" I yelled.
I heard the clacking of heels against the floor. I sensed Morrigan was at the foot of the scene when the guy looked up somewhere behind me. She extended her arm to prepare a Soul Fist. The creature hissed viciously and hopped off me and jumped out window.
Morrigan came to my aid. "Jay, are you ok?" she asked, kneeling at my head.
I looked at her upside down. "I am now that you're here"
She helped me up to my feet. "Who was that?" she asked.
"Shit, I don't know, he was strong as fuck though"
We transformed back to our uniforms.
We escaped the building before the cops and ambulances ambushed the scene.
"There was a girl I seen also" I stated as we walked down an alley.
"Describe her"
"Basically…Little Red Riding Hood"
Morrigan looked at me. "That's Baby Bonnie Hood, she's a darkhunter. And my kind is a darkstalker so put two and two together-"
"She's a bounty hunter. Except for the bounty part is darkstalkers like you"
"I adore your intelligence" Morrigan smirked.
"I know you do" I said, returning the smirk.
…
We made our way home at seven. We came in and on my basement door I seen my dad left a note.
'Hey, broke my phone today at work, gotta buy a new one. I have to start tonight at seven…have fun, love you'.
'Have fun' huh I thought.
Morrigan and I changed clothes and I took the Plexiglas and brung it into my lab room. I sat the plex next to the iPads and my S emblem. I was interrupted from starting my work when I heard a rumble in my stomach.
Damn, haven't had food since 1:30
I walked out the room and pulled the door up.
"Hey, Bae, I'm going to go grab some Chipotle down the street, you want something?"
Morrigan lied on my bed and cut on the TV. "Some of your food when you get back, that's all" she smiled.
"Alright" I said as I slipped on my Nikes.
…
I left out my house and took a left down towards the main street. I walked down the street and seen a girl in black with a black hat. She walked past me and her hand stroked my arm. I smiled at her and she returned it.
Too bad for her, I got Morrigan I thought.
I walked into Chipotle and ordered a burrito bowl. I looked at the TV in the upper right corner of the store. The news was on. "On the east side of Malibu, California, four women have gone missing in the past week"
"Sir, here's your food"
"Thank you" I replied. I looked back at the TV screen.
"Also, weird sightings have been seen across the skies of Malibu. It seems there's been two unidentified objects as you clearly see here" the reporter remarked as a picture of two people showed on the screen flying in the sky.
Shit, that's me and Morrigan!
"The government has now started a search for the two ufo's that look like the form of two flying humans, anyways, back to you Ellen"
I walked out the door immediately.
…
"Morrigan I'm telling you, we're being hunted now" I said.
Morrigan cut the TV off. "The government? But what do we have to do with them?" she asked.
"They're going to try and steal my suit and my technology… that shits not gonna happen" I remarked. "This shit is crazy"
Morrigan watched me as I paced back and forth. She got up and pulled me towards the bed. I lied down as she stroked her fingers through my hair.
"We'll be okay" she assured me.
"I know, it's just that we really have to watch our backs now. If they get their hands on my suit, they'll only want it for a weapon to evolve their soldiers in war"
"Hmm, you're worrying too much" she said softly as she lied next to me.
"I can't help it, I don't even want to imagine what they'll do if they capture you"
"Relax, we'll be fine" Morrigan said. "Let's get some rest" she said as she closed her eyes, snuggling up against me.
"You're right"
I heard steady breathing beside me. Morrigan was fast asleep.
Wow that was fast I thought
I kissed Morrigan on her cheek and she smiled.
I held her and fell asleep.
It's just the beginning…
