Chapter 2: Meeting your heroes
Sue was walking through her living room, it was small like her apartment and a complete mess. Sue had been struggling, her daughter was living with her mother now after everything that had happened so the apartment just looked like an absolute mess. She walked in to see a tall man with black hair stood in the room, going through old T-shirts.
"I thought you had a child." The man said as he put one of Tommy's old ones on.
"My mother kind of deals with all of that." Sue admitted, it tore her up a little every time she looked at a picture of the young child on the shelf but she wanted to remember the last thing she had of Tommy.
"How is she?" The man asked. He stepped out of the shadows and Sue got a better look at his face, it had several scars that had healed overtime but still left a mark.
"Struggling." Sue said as she looked at the golden helmet in the corner of the room, placed with the rest of the armour.
"At least the child is being looked after." The man said as he walked over to the sofa and sat down, letting out a sigh as he did.
"Why are you here Alex? How the fuck are you here right now? You died years ago." Sue asked. She was angry, she had no idea how to react though.
"I survived...Just." Alex said. Sue was a little annoyed that he wasn't going to go into much detail though.
"You were thrown into a building." Sue yelled.
"I know. I don't remember much of it though, all I remember is...Waking up in Afghanistan, in some cave...There was a man there." Alex explained. He could still remember it, it still haunted his dreams. The cave was dark and cold, there was very little light and what there was, was to dim.
"Who?" Sue asked.
"Edward Chow." Alex said.
Before Sue could react there was an explosion that had destroyed the front door. Sue ran and hid behind the sofa whilst Alex ran for his pistol, determined to meet the intruder. He slowly walked forward, looking for the intruder. He spun round the corner but as he did, he was kicked back into the living room by Nemesis. He was wearing his white armour that had a few scratches on it, nothing too bad. He was holding a machete and a revolver, both covered in blood.
"There you are." Nemesis said as he aimed his gun at Sue, he was about to pull the trigger when Alex jumped up and smacked the gun out of his hand.
Nemesis was not very happy about this. He swung his sword through the air several times and Alex managed to dodge them until the last one where he got sliced across his chest. He screamed out for a moment but smacked Nemesis with his gun, pushing the psychopath back. He aimed his gun and took two quick shots while he had a chance but Nemesis didn't seem bothered at all by them.
"Don't be a cunt." Nemesis chuckled as he ran towards Alex, throwing him across the room and into a mirror. Nemesis turned his attention to Sue and very slowly walked towards her.
"Get back." Sue said as she jumped up and slowly walked back, terrified to the point where she could probably faint.
"Or what?" Nemesis said as he put the tip of the blade to her forehead.
"You heard the lady." Alex said. He swung Nemesis around, revealing his golden helmet and headbutted him as hard as he could. He dropped Nemesis whose head had gone a little into the wall.
"How did he find us?" Sue asked.
"Come on, we need to leave." Alex said as he grabbed his armour. Sue ran over to grab her bag and made a run for the door.
The two ran outside, Alex had to drag Sue away from the car thinking that it had been rigged to explode. They ran down the street and were hoping to get away before doing anything. Sue reached into her bag for her phone though, grabbing it out and dialling a number. Alex had taken them into an alleyway where they could hide a little more.
"Hey, it's me….I need your help." Sue said. She didn't know how to react, her heart was about to jump out of her chest and she couldn't breath.

Chris was sat in a cold, dark room. There was no light except the glimmer that came from underneath the door. He could hear dripping through, a drip every second...it was sending him insane. The door then burst open and the light almost blinded him, burning the hatred in his eyes. Dave walked towards him and closed the door but a second after the lights came on, blinding Chris again.
"Does this remind you of anything Chris?" Dave asked. He was stood behind a camera on a tripod, still adjusting the settings.
"Kick-Ass….What the fuck? This isn't you." Chris asked. He could barely see but the more his sight adjusted the more he managed to make it out. Dave was just stood there, wearing black trousers and a green T-shirt, more like a soldier than a hero.
"Oh but it is...This is what happens when you lose somebody you care about, now...Do you remember?" Dave asked as he walked in front of Chris.
"I lost somebody too." Chris argued but that just angered Dave. Dave took a deep breath and punched him in the face.
"Where is The Dead Hunter? Where is he hiding? Who is in The Fraternity?" Dave asked coldly. After every question he would smack Chris with the back of his hand and every time he would get the same answer.
"Fuck you." Chris screamed before spitting out a bloody tooth.
"For somebody who never shuts up, you never do talk do you?" Dave said as he backhanded Chris again.
"What can I say?" Chris asked.
"Where is Stephen hiding?" Dave screamed but this only got him a smile from Chris.
"On the moon." Chris snarled. Dave took a deep breath and punched him again, causing Chris to spit out blood everywhere.
"Do you want to know what I was thinking about before coming in here? How far we've come in such a short time, I mean...We were the first or at least some of the first. You never thought it would have been like this did you? From Redmist to the Motherfucker...How we've changed." Dave said to Chris after five more hours of this. They were both exhausted but he refused to leave until he got what he wanted.
"You were my hero back then...My mother always said I should never meet my heroes." Chris said, he tried to chuckle but there was to much blood in his mouth.
"Was that before or after you killed her?" Dave asked. Chris just scowled at him but he didn't really care.
"I never wanted this...It was forced upon me, all of this was." Chris said. He was trying to get pitty that Dave just refused to give him.
"Nobody walks down their path because they have to." Dave said as he thought about Mindy, the love of his life who never really got much of a choice as to who she wanted to be but chose her path...But where it lead her made Dave even more depressed.

Charles Palmer, vice president of the United States of America was one of the most powerful men in the country. He owns a weapons development company which made him a very wealthy industrialist when he made a deal with Michael Driskill a long time ago. He was walking down the corridor to his office so that he could relax before a day of meetings. He walked into the large office to see Stephen sat at his desk.
"Is there a reason you are here?" Charles asked as he walked towards the mercenary that he worked with.
"Just looking at your view...It's rather nice. I just wanted to ask a personal favour from you...Between me and you." Stephen asked.
"Of course." Charles replied. His friend looked fairly desperate, he needed a genuine favour.
"Can you get your boys at the CIA to dig up a folder on Edward Chow, I would do it myself but I probably have my own folder there." Stephen asked. He smiled a little but Charles knew what he needed.
"Yeah sure, I'll send it to you at the end of the day." Charles said as he shook hands with Stephen.

Sue and Alex were walking down the street. Alex was annoyed because he had to dump all of his armour and weapons in an alleyway so nobody would gain suspicion. They strolled through New York until they came across a very old building that was falling apart, it looked like it should be condemned.
"Your friend is here?" Alex asked. He looked around the building and kicked the front door open.
The two walked inside the building which was even more disgusting on the inside than it was on the outside. Sue looked around to see that several pieces of furniture in the corner and a broken wall on the other side. Alex walked up to the old lift, he forced the doors open and looked down to see that there was a room below it.
"She lives here?" Sue asked as she picked up a burnt picture frame, she couldn't work out the people on it but it probably meant a lot to somebody.
"Why?" Alex asked as he walked over to the wall. The building looked like it had been torn off the ground and then dropped back in the same place.
"To remind her." Sue said as she put the photo down.
Before Alex could answer though there was a loud boom that came from the sky. The two looked up and then at the lift. They could hear something coming down until it stopped right infront of them, it was Carrie. She was hovering in the air before walking forward. She was angry, more angry than normal. She was wearing dark silver armour like Stephen would wear but without the hood.
"Carrie White?" Alex asked. He started to panic a little, worried that he had just been lead straight into a trap. He saw Carrie walk very quickly towards him and used her powers to lift him up into the air and a sharp piece of metal to float by his neck.
"Why did you bring him here?" Carrie asked as she turned her attention to Sue.
"We need your help please...Nemesis is after me, I think that means the Fraternity knows me as well." Sue said. She had eyes filled with tears, she was terrified.
"Why is he here?" Carrie asked, putting the blade even closer to his throat.
"Because I know how the Dead Hunter got his powers." Alex said as the knife got even closer to his throat. Carrie looked at him and dropped him to the ground and walked towards the lift where she jumped down. Sue and Alex looked at each other before walking towards the lift.
Carrie was in the basement, going through several documents and looking at the board on the wall with all of the Fraternity members on it. Sue and Alex walked up to her and looked at the board on the wall.
"How do you know?" Carrie asked. She made a gun hover in the air and slowly move over to him, ready to fire if he dares say the wrong thing.
"Because I met the man who made him like this." Alex said. Carrie didn't trust him and just stared at him for a few moments.

Later that night Stephen was sat in his office at the hotel, drinking a glass of scotch. He sent an encrypted message to Magician stating, 'Find Chris before he tells them where we are'. He waited a few seconds and looked at the following message that wrote, 'You cannot rush an artist'. This just annoyed Stephen even more. He looked at the folder on his desk that had the words 'Edward Chow' on them, he took a moment before opening them and going through it.
Well I hope you enjoyed so please review. Who is Edward Chow? I have mentioned him before but he was going to be in the prequel which just became part of this. What do you think of Alex, Sue and Carrie? Or Dave and Chris? Please tell me what you think in a review. Until next time, have fun.
