Abomination glared at "him" from under her mask and gripped "his" arm harder than before.
"You may be a big shot where you're from but you have no idea what we're capable of." Abomination said with a threatening town in her altered voice.
"So, either surrender or things get ugly." Toxin said as she held up her big needle threateningly.
In the blink of an eye, Mr. Hardcore turned and hit Abomination. She lets go and stumbled back. Toxin ran over and tried to use her needle to stab Mr. Hardcore. "He" dodged it and hit Toxin with a hard elbow. Abomination got up and tried to attack again. Mr. Hardcore kicked her stomach, before turning around and kneeing Toxin's nose.
"I tried to play nice." Mr. Hardcore said.
The two got back up and tried to attack again. Mr. Hardcore dodged Abomination's punch and kicked her feet out, grabbing her to throw over to Toxin but Toxin dodged her partner.
"HA!" Toxin shouted as she used her needle like a fencing sword, stabbing at Mr. Hardcore as lightning speed.
Mr. Hardcore fell to the ground.
"There's nothing a little paralysis toxin can't fix." Toxin said.
"I would agree." Mr. Haradcore said, surprising Toxin, "But the amount of times I've been injected with some kind of toxin has made me pretty immune to most."
"He" got up and delivered a hard punch to Toxin's chest, sending her back into Abomination.
"What's the point of tits if they don't give any protection!" Toxin said.
Mr. Hardcore walked to the edge of the roof.
"I'm not your enemy, I actually respect both of you." Mr. Hardcore said, "But if you try and attack me again, I won't hold back."
Suddenly, a rope of purple sludge wrapped around her arms and held her there as Abomination rose to her feet.
"WE ARE NOT DONE HERE!" She said.
"Well, this is new." Mr. Hardcore said, "Fine then."
Mr. Hardcore ran back at Abomination, jumping and delivering a strong jumping back kick to her head, cracking her visor. She dropped the Abomination goo, which allowed Mr. Hardcore to reach into the jacket. Pulling out "His" gun. "He" aimed it at Abomination and Toxin, and then quickly pointed it and fired at the ground in front of them. "He" quickly ran to the edge of the building before looking back at them.
"Consider that a warning."
Mr. Hardcore jumped off the building and used his grappler to travel to another building. Toxin turned to Abomination.
"Why don't we have Grappling Hooks?"
"Because you can glide and I have my magic muck." Abomination said with a groan. "Also, remind me to reinforce my helmet. I've never been hit that hard before."
"Jeez, even the brick you had thrown at you didn't crack it." Toxin said, "So, are we going after him?"
"No. He's too far at this point."
Toxin groaned at this, feeling pride wounded just like her nose as she used a spell to make the bleeding stop and slowly heal it.
"Damn, that knee has to be made of steel." Toxin said, "Why the fuck did we get into a fight against someone that has about a decade worth of experience?"
"Because his methods are too dangerous. You saw the state he left those gun dealers, three death and one brutalized with nearly a broken hand." Abomination said as she stood up, holding her stomach a bit. "He's too dangerous and we have to reign him in before something worse happens."
"Worse than this or those gunmen? Either way, I agree." Toxin said as her nose was healed and she stood up.
"Let's go back home." Abomination said, "I need to fix my helmet and we need to heal."
"You go home, I'll patrol a little longer." Toxin said.
The two went their separate ways and Toxin leaned against a window on a fire escape. She lowered her hood and tapped on it. Willow opened it.
"You know I have a door, right?"
"Where's the fun in that?"
Willow rolled her eyes to this but let her girlfriend in. How did Willow know? It's because their entire friend circle knew, Amity and Boscha trusted them with their secret and they haven't broken that trust since.
"Care to explain why your nose is blood covered this time? Not to mention crooked, hold still."
Willow put a hand on Boscha's nose and twisted. Boscha held in a scream, but Willow got her nose straight again.
"Thanks, as for what happened, Amity thought it would be a good idea to fight another vigilante, one that is known for carrying a bat." Boscha said.
"Wait, the same one Luz was telling us about?"
"Yep, he pulled a Seth Rollins and kneed my nose." Boscha said, "I think Amity is going off the deep end with this. I don't really have a problem with him, it could be good to have an extra set of hands in this city."
"But if what Luz said about him is true, there's going to be a body count with him. Sure, they're criminals but still." Willow said as she led Boscha to her couch.
"I know, but I know one thing... his methods might be extreme, but I have a feeling something is coming. Something that Amity and I won't have the stomach to end."
"What do you mean?" Willow asked.
"Look around, crime rates are going up, and they're all similar. Gun running, and we haven't found out who is responsible with our methods. Mr. Hardcore has been here one day and already has a bigger lead than we do after over three months."
"I can see how that would be beneficial but I have to agree with Amity in the killing thing. It's wrong and it might change you if you cross that line." Willow said as they sat on the couch, putting a hand on Boscha's right hand. "I don't want you to cross that line, I don't want my oldest friend and my loving girlfriend to become killers."
"Don't worry, we won't." Boscha said as she moved to cup Willow's right cheek. "I promise."
Boscha leaned closer and kissed Willow, who gladly kissed back. Boscha separated from Willow and went to the window.
"I have to go back out."
"Be careful." Willow said.
"I will."
Boscha jumped off the fire escape and jumped off, gliding to the next building. In another part of the City, Luz kneeled on the ledge of a building.
"Killer... haven't heard that one before." Luz said sarcastically.
It's not like she enjoys killing, it's just hard to stop after she's done it for so long.
"Whatever, I need to see if there's anything else I can learn about this guy."
She jumped off the building and disappeared into the night.
I did not name Luz after myself, I named myself after the Vigilante I made, which I gave to Luz because it would make a cool story, so stop being jerks about it. If you don't like it you can fucking leave.
