Chapter 9: Resurfed rage
Psymon was startled as the violent voice spoke to him.
"You're not going to let him do this, are you?" The voice was raspy and venomous, he felt like a monster was speaking to him.
"Leave me alone, Stark. You're not wanted here." Psymon spoke inside his head, Stark hissed back.
"Damn it, Morgan! You've decided to care about these people, so do something! Be a man! Hell with the brat and the others, but I know you won't let him hurt little sister!"
"Stark, I swear to God, if you don't get out of my head-"
"What Simon? What if I don't get out of your head? You are going to die here a sniveling weakling. If you won't stop him... then I will."
"No Psymon, I'm stronger than you. I've been fighting you back since I woke up and I will not give in to you now." Psymon's eye twitched violently.
"Think what you want, Morgan. We both know that I have the guts to attack him, face it Morgan, you need me right now."
"No." Psymon's eye calmed. Kaori now also clenched Psymon's shoulder and peeked out from behind him with terrified eyes while her other hand squeezed Zoe's free hand. "I will not give in to you. If this guy tries to hurt Zoe then it will be over my dead body."
"And he's ready to do that, Morgan! And... oh man you're friends with Kaori now?!? Oh for... Damn it do this for Zoe! She may be your sister, but you know I loved her!"
"I didn't know you could love, you freak."
"You would be surprised, I'm more complex than these sheep told you I was. I wasn't just a nutcase, but I was crazy... I was crazy for Zoe damn it. Do you have any idea how frustrating that is? Loving someone who can't love you back because you're trapped in her brother's body?"
"Stark, you are one sick pup."
"Damn it Morgan, if you ever do anything meaningful, do it now. We both love Zoe in our own ways... we can protect her together." Psymon thought hard as Hiro kept the gun pointed at Griff, waiting for the youngster to finally look up to accept his fate. "Morgan... I'll give you my strength, you'll need it. Save Zoe, save her and I swear you will never hear from me again unless you invite me back... I swear."
"What's in it for you?"
"... Knowing that Zoe is safe is fine enough... knowing the woman I love is protected will keep me happy." Psymon paused and still spoke inside his head.
"... Okay Stark, it's a deal... and thank you... I was wrong about you." Psymon suddenly felt a change inside of him. He felt his muscles tense up and tighten. He felt a rage begin to boil inside of him so severe that his hands and feet shook. His eyes grew large and shone with intensity and his lips quivered in a hate-fueled fury. Then suddenly he vaulted himself from the couch he sat on. He screamed sadistically as he flew through the air towards Hiro. The shocked Hiro fired a shot but only hit Psymon's arm and the shot didn't even phase him. He grabbed Hiro's hand with the gun and thrust it up towards the ceiling, keeping the gun from facing anyone else. Psymon grabbed Hiro's throat roughly and began to squeeze mercilessly, his eyes twitched and shone with anger.
"You're on your own now Morgan, you have to do this. Goodbye Morgan... take care of Zoe for me." Psymon felt his body grow less rabid, but he still kept Hiro where he wanted him. The other boarders seized the opportunity and got out of the room as fast as they could. Then Psymon felt another strange sensation overwhelm him. He felt his own anger finally surface. He shouted as he heaved Hiro against the nearest wall, the impact shook the entire room. Psymon's grip on Hiro's gun hand was so tight that Hiro's hand began to turn purple, Psymon still did not let up. He held on tight to Hiro's one hand while throwing Hiro around and pulling him back in for more. He felt the rage he never let surface when his parents were killed by the drunk driver that stole them from him. He invisioned the face of the man that at the time he was too young to do anything to. Hiro screamed in pain as Psymon was relentless in his attack. Psymon then saw the faces of every man that ever harmed Zoe, including Moby. He was nearly foaming at the mouth and his bullet wound poured blood but his rage would not be pacified. Psymon slammed Hiro's head through the screen of the television and yanked him back out immediately as dust and sparks coughed out of the broken screen. Hiro's eyes were glazed over and he could barely stand as Psymon again slammed Hiro into a wall, this time face-first. Hiro collapsed to the ground, but Psymon, who's hand still firmly held Hiro's gun hand, kept pulling him up roughly. Psymon fought the gun out of Hiro's hands and wrestled with him until a loud pop deafened everyone who was still in the room. Hiro's eyes dilated as his body started to go limp, he fell towards Psymon and the collision turned Psymon slightly. A second pop shot and another bullet flew into Hiro. Psymon looked up and saw Moby standing in the doorway with his pistol from the night before. Psymon's rage quelled quickly, then he realized what he had done, how he had just acted. Zoe came towards him and he quickly moved away.
"Don't come near me yet Zoe!" Psymon's voice sounded scared, like he was in a state of shock that his own rage was so primal. Zoe was not afraid, the doctors told her when he woke up, no longer as stark, that someday all his anger would come out, she was just glad it decided to surface when it had. Psymon grabbed his arm and grimaced through the pain. Brodi ran to J.P. to tend to his wounds. Psymon collapsed on the floor next to Hiro's body. Zoe ran to him and held his head.
"Psymon! Speak to me!" Psymon opened his eyes and looked at Zoe. He understood now. He understood now why Stark protected Zoe for him in his absence. He understood why Stark kept his little sister safe from harm when he owed them nothing, and he quietly thanked Stark for it. He still trembled as his anger simmered and cooled down, and as it did he felt strangely at peace, like a huge weight had been taken off of his shoulders.Zoe led her brother to the closest couch and laid him down.
"Zoe... I'm sorry... I don't know what came over me." Zoe put her finger over his mouth to quiet him.
"Psymon, don't be sorry... it's okay to be angry... The reason Stark even existed was because of all that pent-up anger... it's okay to let it out, just please don't do it like that again." They both laughed with a little relief. She took the sleeve from her jacket and wrapped it tightly around the wound. J.P. had stopped sputtering on the floor and laid peacefully. Brodi closed his eyes and let a tear fall.
"I.... I couldn't save him..." Brodi punched the hardwood floor and wept. "Damn it... I couldn't save him... I'm sorry guys." Nate put his hand on Brodi's shoulder and comforted him.
"There was nothing you could do. He died a hero's death, I'll make sure everyone finds out." Griff still screeched in the next room as Allegra tried to calm him and assure him that everything was okay now. "Poor kid's gonna be traumatized from this." Nate said sadly, everyone in the room agreed. Kaori helped Zoe put pressure on Psymon's arm to control the bleeding.
"We have to get him help." Zoe said with a sound of panic in her voice.
"The M-comms are still down." Eddie said as he tried the M-comm yet again. Zoe thought wildly.
"Okay, Hiro had a way out of here, he had to. Look outside for a snowmobile or something." Most of the group ran in separate directions to look for a means of transportation both indoors and out. Psymon closed his eyes and relaxed, Zoe and Kaori both shook him. "You keep those eyes open damn you!" Zoe scolded with a choke in her voice, he weakly nodded. Kaori also shook him to keep him awake.
"You didn't give up on me, and I'm sure as heck not going to give up on you. We're going to pull through this, together." Psymon took his eyes off Zoe and looked at Kaori as she spoke. He never realized how beautiful Kaori was until now. He thought to himself how Mac could be so stupid to let her go. He then reminded himself of his promise to put Zoe first, and let his thoughts go.


Well, Hiro didn't last long. It's okay, no one likes him anyways (now I'm going to get nasty letters from Hiro enthusiasts). Yes I realize maybe I went a little overboard on Psymon's ass-kicking of Hiro, but as the doc said in Psymon's Secret, one day his anger would have to come out... anyways next time I do a fight scene I promise not to listen to Papa Roach while writing it haha. And poor poor J.P., that brings Hiro's body-count to three, will Psymon be the fourth? Read on.
