Invincible:Part 2
Greenwich Village Manhattan:
A Yellow New York cab pulled up next to a run down apartment complex. The doors opened, and Zack in a yellow shirt, and brown shorts and Will in his brown leather Jacket and blue jeans, stepped out the Taxi with smiles on their faces. The duo had arrived in Greenwich Village 1 of the city's most creative and energetic communities. The Village is a historic neighborhood that has attracted generations of writers, musicians, artists, and intellectuals. Today, Greenwich Village is one of the toniest areas in New York City, and is home to many young professionals. Will and Zack were excited that they were going be living on their own. Will gave the driver the money, and then took their suitcase out of the Taxi, and the driver drove off wishing them well.
"Here we are Will!" Zack said excited.
"I know, we are finally on our own." Will said with a smile..
Will picked up his suitcase from the ground, and then Zack grabbed his. This building is this place, my parents got us a cheap place on the 3rd floor.
"Cool." Zack commented.
"For now it's cool, but we need to get jobs before the end of the month." Will said.
"Why?" Zack asked.
"Zack, we need to pay for the apartment somehow. My parents already gave the landlord the first months rent, but they said we have to start paying ourselves after that." Will explained.
" Oh man, and I thought this would be easy." Zack answered grinning.
"Let's get going." Will said smiling.
The duo headed into the brick apartment bulding.
………………………………...
Will and Zack entered the building, and looked around at their new stomping grounds. The walls were painted brown, and the floor had a dark red carpet. They stood in a small main lobby; a small desk was the only major object in the small room. A middle-aged white man sat at the desk reading a newspaper. Will and Zack walked up to him, but he did not seem to notice them at first.
"Excuse me." Will said.
The man put down his newspaper, and then looked up at them.
"Yes?" The man asked in a deep raspy voice.
"Im Will Stronghold, and my friend here is Zack Adams." Will stated.
"Hi nice to meet you." The Man said.
He then picked back up his newspaper, and then began reading it again.
Will and Zack looked at each other confused. Zack then tapped on the man's newspaper, and he put it down again.
"What do you two want?" The man asked annoyed.
"Dude, where the new tenants on the 3rd floor." Zack stated with his thumb pointed up.
The man jumped up, and flung around his desk to Will and Zack.
"Oh, I didn't recognize your name for a moment, please follow me to your new apartment." The man said with a smile.
Will and Zack looked at each other, and then nodded and followed the man. He led them up a somewhat dirty staircase, and Will and Zack realized the building got a lot less nice the higher they went.
"So you to are new to the city?" The man asked.
"Yea, we just graduted highschool in…..Metroville." Will said with a hesitation.
"Oh I see, and then welcome to the city then." The man said.
They got to the messy third floor, filled of dirty walls, and carpets that were no longer red anymore.
"Here is your place, apartment 22." The man said.
Will and Zack looked at the entire third floor, and then the landlord opened up the door to their place. The apartment was not as bad as they thought, it was not great, but it had nicely painted walls, but the floors were old.
"So what do you boys think?" The landlord asked.
"It's pretty good." Will and Zack said together.
"Im glad you like it." The landlord said.
Will and Zack walked fully in with their suitcases in Hand.
"Alright a boys, my name is James Kirby, and the rent is 750 a month. I hope you two enjoy your apartmnet, because if the rent ain't paid on time, your ass is on the street." He said with a devilish smile.
Will and Zack nodded Yes.
"That's good, I will see you boys around." Mr.Jones said.
Mr. Kirby patted them on the back hard, and then left the apartment smiling.
"He seems fun." Zack commented sarcasticly.
Will laughed.
Will then opened up on of his suitcases, and took out a Police scanner.
"Where did you get that from Will?" Zack asked.
"It was my dads, he used it went he was first starting out. He added some upgrades to, and it can pick up Police radios around the city." Will explained.
"Nice." Zack commented.
Will the turned it on and immediately got a signal.
"We got an 818 at the union bank Hell Kitchen, its Intergang proceed with major caution." a female voice said.
"Ya, you got one already kid!" Zack said excited.
Will nodded.
"Aright its time, Invincible is going to make his debut." Will said as he stood up.
"Where's your hero suit Will?" Zack wondered.
Will unzipped his jacket, and unbuttoned his white shirt. The top of the suit could be seen from the unbuttoned area.
"Cool." Zack said.
"Alright Zack, unpack the rest of the stuff, I got work to do." Will said.
He ran out the room, and down the steps, and then exited the building. He made his way into an empty alley across the street, and ran through it, and then did a shirt rip revealing his suit.
Chelsea aka Hell's Kitchen New York
Police cars were in Hot pursuit of an armored car, with a fist insignia on the side of it. The thugs belonged to Intergang , a high tech criminal organization. The thugs had just cleaned out a small bank. Their were 5 masked Intergang men In the car, and one of them took out a high-tech laser gun, and then opened up the back doors of the armored car. He gave the pursuing cops the finger, and then charged up his blaster.
"Suck on this dickheads!" He yelled.
He shot his blaster, and it emitted a powerful linear red laser beam. The blast cut into three police cars, and they went crashing into the sidewalks effectively. The thug smiled, and his comrades patted him on the back. Bystanders quickly took cover, and Intergang continued for a few more blocks police free. The thug driving the armored car then saw something coming at them in the windshield.
"What the hell is that?" He wondered.
The object turned out to be a flying person in a colored suit, and it was gaining on them fast.
"Hey guys, Get the laser ready, we got something on our ass!" The thug ordered.
Another Thug picked up the laser weapon, and then reopened the back doors to the car again.
"What hell is that?" The thug wondered amazed.
The person was Will, in his new black, yellow, and blue capeless hero suit. He flew at the armored car fast, and was right behind them.
"Your dead hero!" The thug commented.
The thug then blasted the Laser at Will, and Will put his hands in front of his face to block the blast. The laser hit Will, and sent him flying to the ground. The thug laughed and then they sped off again.
"Im going to need to use a smarter approach." Will commented rubbing his hands.
Will then got to his feet, and then flew into the air again. The thugs were laughing it up In their car, but the thug driver then saw Will standing 40 feet in front of the car.
"That freak is back boys." He said.
"Run is ass Down then!" They all said.
The thug driver accelerated, and the armored car sped off on a collision course with Will. Will stood in his ground, but with his arms folded and with a huge smirk. Will then unfolded his arms, and then put them in front of him. The car was comeing closer, and when the armored car hit Will, his arm strength crushed its front easily. It was like a car hitting a wall, and Will was that wall. The armored car's front was destroyed, and the thug driver was knocked out complelty. Will went to the driver side of the armored car, and then pulled what remained of the door off easily. He checked the driver pulse, and then looked in the back for the other thugs. Their were two moving around in the back floor, and two more were getting out weapons to kill Will.
"You guys should just give up." Will suggested smiling.
"Kiss my ass freak!" One thug yelled out.
The thugs took out more guns, and Will just shook his head.
"I warned ya." Will commented.
The thugs began shooting Will, but the regular bullets felt like nothing to Will. He went back outside, and then grabbed the bottom of the armored car, and then turned it over on its side. The Thugs flung all over the place in the armored car, Will then saw police arriving. Onlookers began to surround Will, and they looked at him highly amazed.
"Who are you?" An old black woman asked.
Will smiled.
"Im Invincible." Will stated.
He then waived to the people, and then took off into the sky. The police arrived on the scene soon afterwards.
THE FOLLWING FEW WEEKS NEWSPAPERS AND THE CITY BEGAN TALKING ABOUT THE NEW HERO IN TOWN INVINCIBLE. WILL AS INVINCIBLE STOPPED ROBERRIES, MURDERS, AND WAS MAKING A NAME FOR HIMSELF. CRIMINAL AFTER CRIMANL WENT DOWN THANKS TO INVINCIBLE, SOME CALLED HIM THE BEST THING SINCE THE COMMANDER IN METROVILLE, BUT OTHERS WONDERED IF HE HAD ALTERIOR MOTIVES.

...
3 weeks later…………….
On the last floor atop one of the tallest buildings in the city, Rexcor, Its Owner and CEO Rex Mason sat in his majestic office. A man of beastly tactics, Rex Mason stood over six feet tall and had a commanding presence with cool eyes, a slippery voice and stark white hair that can caught even the most cautious of business associates off guard. He wore a black suit, and wore a buttoned red undershirt. He was reading a newspaper article about Invincible, who had been on the front page for 3 weeks.To the public Mason was legit business man, who was a media darling, and had a few billion dollars. However, Mason was really a corrupt businessman, and secretly he was the head of Intergang. Mason forcibly acquired several companies, and created Intergang to come to power. When that was not enough, Powers began bio-weapons development in an attempt to broaden his sphere of influence. Invinicble was bad for business, and Mason new Invincible needed to be dealt with effectively. Mason sat drinking champaign, but his young secretary came in.
"Mr. Mason Baron Battle is here." She said nervously.
"Send him in." Rex answered.
She nodded, and then left the room quickly. Then a tall somewhat handsome man with long dreadlocks, and a well-groomed goatee walked in. He had on a grey business suit, and a red tie. Rex looked up from his paper, and gave Baron Battle a short smile.
"Hello Rex." Baron greeted.
Rex did not answer, but just flung the newspaper over to him. Baron caught it, and then saw the front page with Invincible on it.
"You see that Baron, that is an example of a serous problem." Rex stated angered.
"I see, but I told you already the new project im working on will deal with him." Baron answered.
Rex shook his head annoyed.
"Let's hope so, because I have invested a great deal of money into your project. Intergang better benefit well from your new weapons project Battle." Rex stated smoothly.
"No worries Rex, we can deal with Invincible and take care of your busines rivals as well." Baron stated with a grin.
"Let's hope so." Rex replied.
"Now I have to head out, I have a lunch appointment to keep." Baron said.
He began to walk out.
"Oh Baron, this lunch wouldn't happen to be with your son now?" Rex wondered.
"Yes it would." Baron answered.
"Interesting, you said he had your powers right. Your son could make a valubale agent of Intergang." Rex said.
"No he wouldn't Warren is not like that at all. He has band now, and he is more interested in his music then being a criminal." Baron replied insensed.
Rex sighed.
"Whatever." Rex answered.
Rex took another sip of his champiaign, and then Baron left his office.

Greenwich Village:
Will and Zack were playing basketball at the west fourth street courts. They had on sleeve less shirts, and colored shorts. Will had the ball, and Zack was trying D him up. Zack had his knees bent awkwardly and arms up, and Will just dribbled smiling.
"You ready Zack?" Will asked grinning.
"Bring it on muscle man." Zack replied.
Will easily ran passed Zack, and went to the hoop to score. Zack ran up behind him, but Will leaped into the air and dunked it. Will came down somewhat levitating, and Zack sighed.
"I almost had you to." Zack commented.
"Sure you did buddy." Will replied jokingly.
"Lets go again." Zack demanded.
Wil tossed him the ball, and then took off his shirt. Will had a well muscled and toned physique, and Zack rolled his eyes.
"Show off." Zack commented.
"I was just alittle hot." Will answered.
"Fine, this time the games to 10." Zack said.
They were about to get started, but then Will saw someone he had not seen in weeks walking buy.
"Magenta!" Will called out.
The walking Magenta stopped, and turned to the basketball court and saw Will and Zack.
"Guys!" Magenta called out back.
Magenta waived them over, and Will and Zack ran over to her excited. Will got to her first, and she gave him a big hug. Zack came next, and Magenta sighed jokingly and gave him a hug as well.
"What are you guys doing here?" Magenta asked.
"We got an apartment here a few weeks back, and we got into NYU to!" Zack answered thrilled.
"Wait Will, your Invincible aren't you?" Magenta asked.
"Guilty as charged." Will replied.
"That's great Will, your doing so much for the city. I know your dad must be proud of you." Magenta stated.
"Yea, but um hows Kayla?" Will asked.
Magenta hesitated, and thought about something.
"She is doing great Will…..shes happy." Magenta answered alittle unsure.
"Cool." Zack said.
"Im glad to hear that." Will said a little sad.
"We all have regrets Will." Magenta commented.
Will nodded.
"Anywys Mag, where you headed?" Zack asked.
"Actually im going to meet Kayla for lunch." Magenta answered.
Will got excited again.
"Maybe we can come with you to?" Will asked.
"Sure, it will be one hell of a surprise to Kayla." Magenta asked.
Will got a huge smile on his face.
"Okay, you two go home and get cleaned up, and then meet us at the Le' café on Grove Street." Magenta ordered.
The two noded, and gave her one more hug and ran off. Magenta watched them run off and got a warm fuzzy feeling. She was glad to see her friends again, but hoped Kayla would have the same feeling to.
………………………………...
Back in their apartment, which now had a small couch and a TV. Will and Zack got changed readily in their rooms. Will looked at himself in his mirrow, and took deep nervous sigh.
"Here I come Kayla." Will commented.
Will went to his closet and took out his invincible suit, he thought about leaving it home today, but decided against it. He first put on the suit, and then put on his regular clothes over it. He wore his usual brown leather jacket, and wore a red buttoned shirt underneath it. He put on nice clean blue jeans, and a pair of newly bought sneakers. Zack busted into his room, Zack had on a white T and long baggy pants.
"You ready kid?" Zack asked.
Will looked at his outfit and nearly laughed.
"Yea…let's go." Will answered amused.
Will then took out a small I-pod like radio; it was his newly redesigned police scanner. Will combined it with his I-pod, and it made an easier way to get around with it. Will put it in his pocket, and then took the wireless earpiece and put it in his ear.
………………………………...
Will and Zack walked down the street eager, and were only a few blocks from the cafe.
"I can't wait to see her again man." Will said gleefully.
Zack patted him on the back.
"Im sure she will be stoked to see you to man. I know you guys left on some bad terms, but you guys mean way to much to each other for her to just hate you." Zack explained.
"Thanks man." Will replied.
The two continued walking, but then Will received a signal from his scanner.
"All units respond, we have a a meta human level threat at in the special Clintons district in Hell's kitchen." a female voice said over the scanner.
"I have go help." Will said.
"I know, I will tell the others you will be alittle late." Zack said.
"Thanks." Will replied.
Will then cut off across the street, and ducked into another empty alley. He ran dow the alley, and unzipped his jacket and did a shirt rip revealing his super suit. Moments later he was in his suit, and then he flew off out the Alley.
...
Special Clinton district:
The Special Clinton was low rise neighborhood in Hell's Kitchen. For years the city had been trying to tear the area down ,and develop it into bigger and better things.
When the third incarnation of Madison square Garden at 50th and Eighth Avenue was torn down in 1968, New York developed a master plan calling for two to three thousand hotel rooms, 25,000 apartments, 25 million square feet of office space and a new super liner terminal in the neighborhood which it described as "blocks of antiquated and deteriorating structures of every sort." During this time a proposal was made to build the world's tallest building on the Madison Square Garden site and a massive convention center at 44th Street and the Hudson River.
Residents organized to fight the developments. In October, 1974 the Planning Commission approved the establishment of the Special Clinton District and Mayor Ed Koych moved the Jacob Javits Convention Center to 33rd and the Hudson River. Since then numerous shady businessman, had been trying to secretly take down the neighborhood and build over it.
When Invincible arrived over the area, he saw people running scared all over the place. The police cars were overturned, and some building hade holes in them. Invincible then spotted the source, a tall white big man in a brown trench coat, and black shades on his face. He had short white hair, and he wore big metallic Gloves on his hands. The man's gloves emitted high powered blasts that ripped, teared and took down everything around. The man was aiming these blasts at a near buy apartment complex, and was about to bring it down. Invincible flew down toward him fast, and before the thug could blast again, Invincble knocked him into a near buy car. Invincible flew down in front of him with his arms folded.
"Who are you?" Invincible asked seriously.
The man pulled himself out of the car, and got up grinning.
"I was waiting for you hero, the names Shockwave." He said.
"Funny, I thought your name would be middle-aged guy in trench coat to." Invincible joked.
"Your dust hero, and so is this neighborhood." Shockwave boasted.
Shockwave then began to charge his gloves, and then he blasted at Invincible. Invincible quickly flew up to avoid the first blast, but Shockwave fired another blast and it hit Invincible hard. It sent him flying down the street, and to the ground. Bystanders began running all over the place, and Invincible staggered back up to his feet. Shockwave then came running at Invincible charging up another big blast.
" Great." Invincible commented.
Will then saw an overturned car nearbuy, and he ran over and picked it up. Shockwave was about to fire again, but will flung the car at him first. Shockwave quickly blasted at the car, and cut it in half. The pieces of the car flung all over the street, and Shockwave ducked to avoid some of it. Invincible took this distraciton, and flew up and flew alongside nearbuy buildings. Shockwave got back to his feet, and began blasting at Invincible rapidly. Shockwave could not land a shot, and only hit the side of buildings.
"Stop trying to avoid your death kid!" Shockwave yelled out.
Invincible then flew up higher into the sky, and out of Shockwaves range. Police began to arrive, and quickly began takeing on Shockwave. Shock wasted no time, and beagn blasting at the police. They were overwhelmed buy his blasts, and he was making quick work of them. Invincible hung in the air, and saw Shockwave distracted, and then flew straight down at him. Shockwave heard a noise, and looked up and saw Invincible, but it was too late as Invincible slammed into Shockwave. Shockwave slammed into the ground, and left a small crater from the impact. Invincible landed over him, and ripped his gloves off his hands.
"Game over shockwave." Invincible said.
"Not yet punk." Shockwave uttered.
Shock took a small device from his pocket, and clicked on on it. It emmited a strong blast, a sent Invincible flying. Shockwave got back to his feet bleeding, and ran out the crater and left the scene. Invincible stabilized himself in the air, and looked down and saw that Shockwave had escaped.
"That went well." Will said to himself sarcastically.
...
20 minutes later
Will ran out an alley near La' cafe, dressed in his regular clothes. He spotted Zack and the others eating at a table. He got a glimpse of Kayla, and he was taken back for a moment. He was nervous, and wasn't sure how she would react to seeing him again. He took a deep breathe, and popped some tic tacs in his mouth and headed to join the others. Will got to the La Café, and as he approached, Zack and the others saw him from their outside table. Zack and Magenta waived him over, but Kayla had a look of somewhat shock. The same look people got when they ran into their old lovers.
"Hey guys." Will said with waive.
"Hey Will." Magenta said.
"You took care of business man?" Zack asked.
"Yea, I will tell you about it later Zack." Will replied.
Will and Kayla were steering at each other through all this. Kayla cleared her throat, and then got up our of her seat and walked up to Will.
"Hey….Kayla." Will said.
"Hey." Kayla replied softly.
Kayla then hugged Will, and Will gladly hugged back. Zack and Magenta looked at each other and smiled.
"Kayla hey!" a Voice called out.
Will and Kayla separated, and then saw Warren heading down the street towards them. Warren had on a black suit; something Will have not seen him in since the Sky High prom. Will was excited to see his friend again, and Zack jumped out of his seat to greet Warren. Zack ran up to Warren and hugged him, and Warren pried him off immediately.
"Im glad to see you to man, but let's not get to excited." Warren stated with a smooth smile.
"Sorry man, just it's been awhile and all." Zack said.
Kayla ran up to Warren followed buy Magenta and Will. Kayla leaped on Warren, and the two shared a kiss. That stopped Will in his tracks, and he was in near complere shock. After a few seconds, Warren and Kyala finished their smooching. Warren looked up at Will, and noticed his shocked expression.
"Hey man, you look like you seen a ghost." Warren commented.
Will snapped out of it, and Walked up to the others casually. Kayla and Will exchanged small looks, but Kayla quickly turned to Warren.
"It's been awhile Will." Warren said.
"Yea, I know that." Will replied alittle peeved.
"I atleast get a pound right?" Warren wondered.
A Pound was special greeting Will and Warren made up in sky High. The two then pounded their fists against each other's.
"Just like old times." Warren said smiling.
"Not exactly like old times." Will commented.
Warren then looked at Kayla, and the tension was building.
"Listen let me just say it Will, you called it off with Kayla, and she moved on to me. It's that simple, You and I have been allies for to long for this to break us up." Warren stated.
Will clenched his fist, but then cooled down. He just nodded his head, and gave a fake smile.
"Sure, no worries where still the worlds finest team Warren." Will replied.
The tension cooled down for now, but their was a feeling of akwardness.
"Lets all just get some lunch." Kayla said trying to break the ice.
They all nodded, and began to walk back to their table.
"So Will did you know Warren is in a band now, and is working with his father's new business." Kayla said.
"Wow, I didn't know ex super villains were allowed to start companies now." Will said jokingly.
Warren stopped walking and glared at Will.
"Watch yourself Stronghold, my father may not be some boy scout, but he served his time and is trying to make amends." Warren stated angered.
Will rolled his eyes.
"If you say so." Will replied.
Warren then grabbed Will buy his jacket, and his eyes began to burn with fire.
"I said to watch yourself, my dad is not some cheesy boy scout Joke like your dad, but he deserves another chance to." Warren proclaimed.
Will pushed Warren off him, and clenched his fists.
"Sure he does, and im the last son of Krypton." Will said with a quip.
Magenta and Kayla got inbetween them both.
"We can't expose our powers out here guys, so please save the damn macho stand off for another time." Magenta ordered.
Will and Warren and agreed and settled down. A stretch limo then pulled up next to them, and thee the windows rolled down. Warren dad was inside the Limo, and he signaled for Warren to get in.
"Warren, we have a lunch together remember?" Baron asked.
"Yea I remember dad, I want to bring Kayla also." Warren said.
"Sure, it will give us a chance to get to know each other better." Baron answered.
The limo doors opened up, and Warren went inside.
"Come on Kayla." Warren said.
Kayla looked at Will 1 more time, and then got into the Limo.
"I will see you guys later." Warren said.
Warren and Will looked at each other again, and then the Limo windows rolled down.
"Looks like things just got more interesting." Zack commented.
Will sighed, and he and the others watched the limo drive off down the street.
………………………………...
If any ones reading, things are gotta heat up next part. The renewed rivalry between Will and Warren continues, and Kayla is caught in the middle. Secrets are coming to light, and Rex Mason and Baron Battle reveal their new super suit to stop Invincible forever.
