Chapter 2 Assassin's of Light

The first training exercise was sparring and it went well. However it ended up with me vs Spider-Man's team. Danny aka Iron Fist came at me first. I grabbed him and threw him at white tiger then charged Power Man. I kicked him in the face knocking him out and then threw him on top of Iron Fist and White Tiger knocking them both out. Nova shot at me but I dodged into a shadow and appeared on top of him. "Get off me" He said. "As you wish" I said with a grin. I kicked him, knocking him to the wall and Nova went down. Spider-Man was the last man standing. "This is embarrassing getting our butt's handed to us by a kid" Spider-Man said. "Don't feel too bad. I am good at this." I said. I ran at him and appeared behind him to kick him. He dodged my kick and tried to web me up. "That spider-sense is not fair" I said dodging his webs. "Hey, powers are allowed," He said. I threw a robot at him which made him dodge creating an opening for me to KO him. "Game over" I said. I went to help White Tiger aka Ava up off the floor to be a gentleman.

"Someone has a crush," Sam aka Nova said. "I'm sorry, I did not know you are not a gentleman," I said with a grin. Everyone burst out laughing. "I-d-d-Ahh" Sam said and stormed off. "Thanks," Ava said. "No problem" I said with a grin. I decided to take a walk in New York City. Just then a person jumped down from the top of a building near me. He would have made me go splat if not for my ability to sense his shadow. "And here I thought I was going to have a good week. So who are you? A villain?" I asked the random person. "You can call me Assassin of Light" He said. "So you kill light?" I asked. "Imbecile I was sent by the Light of Destruction to kill you" He said. "Who with what now?" I asked. "All you need to know is they destroyed your race and came here to finish the job." He said. This did not shock me as much as it should have as I did expect as much. "Why do you keep calling me The End?" I asked.

"You have no name," He said. " My name is Ray," I said confused. "That's your Earth name" He said. This rocked me to my core. I don't even know my actual name. Not knowing my true family and even my planet getting destroyed is fine. However now that I know I don't even know my own name makes me realize I don't know anything about my birth and my planet.

I screamed and ran at him. I used all my anger and directed it at him. A huge ball of shadow hit and exploded. It Sent him flying through 5 buildings and I ran after him. "You're so weak you don't even know anything about your true powers. You could rule the world. You're too weak to use your full power. Too weak to save your friends. Too weak to even protect yourself." He said. I got even angrier. I wanted to tear him limb from limb. I punched him, knocking him through someone's house. I beat him relentlessly wanting to cause him the same pain as he did to my planet. He started to bleed from his nose which made me laugh. I summoned a sword and got ready to cut him to shreds. "Ray, stop!" Said a voice behind me. It was Spider-Man and his team along with the Avengers. "This is not you. Don't do something you will regret." He said. "They destroyed my planet. My family is gone because of them. They even threatened you guys." I said, shaking from anger. "Kid, don't make us do this," Iron man said. "Stay back!" I yelled and separated us with a wall of shadows. "Go on. Show us how dangerous you really are." The Assassin of Light said smiling like he already won. I yelled and stabbed my sword.

However I stabbed it into the ground next to him. I let down the barrier of shadow. "I am not like you. I don't kill. I will make sure you pay for what you did. I will hand you over to SHIELD. After that I don't care what happens to you." I said through gritted teeth. "You will pay for your weakness! I will break out and destroy everything you love! I swear you will pay!" he screamed as SHIELD agents took him away. "Kid, I honestly thought you were going to do it. Heck I think I would have done it." Iron Man said. "I almost did, But I did not want to become like him. I'm not a murderer." I said. My teammates were staring at me with fear in their eyes. "I'm going to go think things through," I said. "If you ever need to talk.." Iron Man said, But I interrupted him and said "No thanks" and melted into my own shadow.

For the next week I was in and out of the Tri Skelion. My friends wanted to talk to me but I ignored them. One day I was walking through an alleyway when I heard someone scream. I ran to help and what I saw made me stop. There was a woman with gray hair and a black streak through it hanging in the air. Then I noticed an assassin of Light about to take her away. "Hey ugly" I said. He turned around and shot at me. "I can't believe you actually looked," I said. "You-" was all he got out before I knocked him unconscious. "You okay?" I asked her. Then I realized she was unconscious. I then realized I was in pain. I know you're thinking why did you just realize that now? It was night out so I was regenerating from the darkness. However it seemed the bullet from his gun was counteracting my Regeneration. I heard a gruff voice on the woman's wrist. "Rogue. Rogue do you copy? Are you okay?" It said, "She is unconscious," I said, fighting to stay conscious. "Who is thuis?" Said the voice. "I'm Ray," I said, then realized I'm about to faint. "Be right with you" I said and then fainted.
