Chapter 3: A home is a castle

Nemesis was back at the hotel, he was strapped down to a bed as several doctors perform tests on him. His face is covered by a white medical mask, as if nobody is allowed to see him. The doctors take blood and samples from him, trying to work out what's inside his blood while pumping him with strange chemicals. One of the doctors though looks at the mask and slowly walks over to him, hoping to get a glimpse of what is underneath. As he goes to lift up the mask, Stephen appears infront of him and slaps his hand.

"I wouldn't if I was you." Stephen said as he looked into the doctors soul with his his eyes that had been plucked from a monster.

"What are you doing here? This area is highly quarantined." The doctor stuttered.

"I've been exposed to these chemicals enough, I think I can survive. I just wanted to see how my friend is getting along, do you mind?" Stephen said as he turned to a small door in the corner.

"Of course." The doctor replied.

Stephen walks over to a door that is in the corner. He opens it slowly and steps inside. It's just a basic store room that they use for keeping chemicals in order for them to successfully re-animate their fallen soldiers if he felt they needed it. The room was small and filled with barrels of the drug. He wandered over to a large pod that was placed in the middle of the room. It had some green chemical heading inside and a red liquid coming out.

"How are you old friend?" Stephen asked as he put his hands on the pod and took a deep breath.

"He's ready." The doctor said as he walked into the room, interrupting Stephen.

"Send him out for deployment." Stephen replied.

Carrie and Sue were in the basement. Alex was in the corner, going through some of the research that Carrie had collected, he had picked up a picture of Rachel and couldn't take his eyes off it for a few moments.

"So why is he with you?" Carrie asked. She didn't care if Alex could hear her, she wanted him to know he shouldn't be there.

"He can help..He knows about this Chow guy and Stephen." Sue defended but in all fairness, she wasn't sure why he was with her, he just saved her and never left.

"Do you remember who he is? Remember what he did? The deals he made." Carrie argued. She remembered those simpler days, the days before it got so much harder to live.

"I made that deal because I wanted to get you, he was my best hope." Alex said as he turned to Carrie, still holding the picture.

"So you made a deal with the devil?" Carrie argued as she walked towards him. She was angry, she still had nightmares about that night

"You killed my brother...You were the devil in my eyes." Alex argued, he was starting to walk towards Carrie.

"I didn't kill him...Both times." Carrie argued, clearly pushing a button that she hated.

"But how many others have you killed?" Alex asked, pushing the final button.

"Enough...We can't do this, what about Dave? Can we speak to him?" Sue yelled as she ran in between the two.

"At least I'm not in love with a psychopath." Carrie said before walking towards the exit and flying away.

Alex and Sue were left there by themselves, they had no idea what to do. Sue went off to go through some documents, to see if there was anything to do with what they wanted.

"You went too far." Sue said as she read through one of Stephen's military reports.

"She's insane, why do you trust her? All she's ever done is just kill." Alex replied. He genuinely hated her with all he had but he knew they were both on the same side.

"Why are you here though?" Sue asked.

"I want to help destroy the Fraternity, you know that." Alex explained, he had done it a thousand times now.

"Why do you want to destroy it?" Sue asked. Alex stood there for a moment, trying to work out a good answer.

"The Dead Hunter, he is more than you think, he has done so much more than you could ever imagine." Alex explained.

"Like what?" Sue asked. Alex thought for a moment but before he could answer he heard a loud cough.

"Go on Alex...Like what?" Rachel asked. She was stood there wearing her black biker outfit and by her side was Nemesis, fresh from the operation.

"Rachel?" Alex said as he looked at her. He was in shock and nearly collapsed because of it, he was shaking.

"Come on sweetie? You don't think I keep tabs on my sister." Rachel said as she winked at her old boyfriend.

Carrie was walking down the street, looking at the city she dreamed off as a child, it was nothing compared to what she wanted.

"I'm starting to think we should get a light to shine in the sky." Dave said as he walked down the alleyway, putting his biker helmet on the ground. He wore a dark green and black outfit to match the bike, it suited him despite the scruffy hair that made him look like a teenager.

"It'd just be a middle finger." Carrie replied, she wasn't in the mood for him right now.

"Fuck me now you sound like her." Dave said. He wanted to get closer to her but he knew she wouldn't allow it.

"What do you want?" Carrie asked.

"Chris." Dave said.

"I know, I got your message." Carrie interrupted before Dave could say anything.

"Then why aren't you talking to me?" Dave asked as he stepped closer to her but Carrie made him stay where he was.

"Alex Ross is back in town." Carrie said. Her phone started to go off, she pulled it out as quickly as she could and as she looked at the message she started to get worried.

"What is it?" Dave asked as he saw the look of fear crawl all over her face.

"We need to get to my base." Carrie said as she took off into the air, gone in the blink of an eye.

"I hate it when she does that." Dave said as he pulled out his phone and ran for his motorbike.

Rachel and Nemesis were staring at each other for a few moments while Rachel spoke to Alex. Sue was afraid and everyone in the room knew it, Alex looked at the pistol on the table but he knew what would happen if he went for it.

"Whatever you do, don't kill him." Rachel said as she tapped Nemesis on the shoulder.

Nemesis ran straight for Alex, punching him as soon as he got close to him. He fell to the ground as this happened. Nemesis had changed since their last fight, he was stronger and so much more faster. Alex managed to jump up but as he did, he received five quick punches from Nemesis, each one as quick as the second and even more deadly. He then kicks Alex in the chest and grabs his throat, choking the life out of him. Nemesis punches him in the face several more times and drops him to the floor. Sue was in the corner, she was about the scream every time she heard a punch. Nemesis looked at her for a few moments, waiting for the command.

"RACHEL." Carrie screamed as she landed in the room. She had no idea how Rachel found her but she knew she had to do something.

"Hey sis...How you doing?" Rachel asked as she made the gun fly towards Sue, the barrel at her head.

"How?" Carrie asked. Rachel just smiled and tilted her head, the gun the clicked which made Sue start to cry.

"I know you Carrie, I'm always watching you which means I know your rules." Rachel said, she couldn't be more happy if she was a child on Christmas.

"What do you want?" Carrie asked.

"I want you to do something for me." Rachel explained.

As Dave was speeding towards Carries base a police car knocked him off his motorcycle. He hit the ground and tore up his jacket, leaving him in great pain. He tried to get up but as he was several police cars surrounded him. The police ran up to him and started kicking him until he wouldn't get up. They dragged the bloodied body into the large black van, ready to take him away.

A group of policemen were walking down an alleyway towards the Justice Forever HQ. There was at least fifteen policemen all holding their pistols as they walked up to the front entrance of the building. It was an old warehouse on the docks that they had occupied, they had several more scattered around the city but this was their main one.

"Ready or not here we come." The lead policeman yelled as he kicked the door down. As he walked in he noticed Battle-Guy standing there, holding his shield and ready to fight.

The policeman took off his hat and threw it onto the floor, giving a sinister grin as he does. His hair was a very dirty brown and his skin was so pale you could see the veins, especially around the eyes.

"Hi, my name is Paul...We haven't been introduced yet but you may have heard about me...I'm the Magician." Paul said as he raised his gun and fired every shot he had at the shield and enjoying every single moment of it.

Well I hope you enjoyed so please review. So what do you think Rachel will make Carrie do? How did the bases get compromised? The first appearance of the new Magician but what will he do?. Please tell me what you think in a review and until next time, have fun.
