A taste of Vile
After my little "talk" with Goliath I decided it would be best to take off for the night, I was in no mood to work with anyone. I could tell the Gargoyles were trustworthy if only a bit naïve as the nature of most people. I wasn't allowed that luxury of being so naïve, my life was encircled and ensnared by death. I lived to hunt, to kill while they lived to protect and keep safe. Murder was in my blood, not in theirs.
As I made my way to the edge closest to another building I felt a sudden sensation, as if I was being watched. When I looked behind me, Broadway and his female, I believe her name was Angela, were watching me from tower above. Something inside me said to ignore them, but I couldn't and I guess they couldn't ignore me.
"You came out here to think too, huh?" Broadway said from where he sat.
"No, I came out here so I could take the express way out." I said in a sneer.
"Whoa, just askin'." He said trying to avoid a fight.
"Whatever, just leave me be." I said as I leapt off the side of the sky scraper.
I crawled along the shadows in a sort of mystic silence. The city was far to at peace, the Gargoyles couldn't possibly have kept it this clean, could they? It was then I saw the sight that always enraged me; the Friends of Humanity, three of them and they were assaulting a young couple. I ran to action.
My instincts flared as I came with in a few yards of them. The smell of blood thickened the air as one of the members raised as metal bar to beat the couple. Instantly I wrapped my tail around it pulling back hard.
"Pick on someone your own size." I said in a growl.
"Whoa! Look at this mutie freak! He's grade A monster." The thug on the right said.
"You have no idea…" I said as I felt the sick grin spread on my face.
There was silence as one brought a hidden shotgun level to my chest. With a sudden burst of speed the gun was in a storm drain across the street and a smile was still on my face.
"Next." I said as I grabbed the man to my right and tossed him with enough force to make his body bend the street light he impacted.
The one who had called me a monster pulled out a knife and rammed it into my chest, causing my acidic blood to spray him in the face. He screamed like mad as he clawed at his melting face, he died with in seconds.
"Fuck it!" The last one said as he made a run for it. He got no where, as I grabbed him with my tail and drug him towards the couple.
"How is he?" I asked the young woman who was conscious. The young man was obviously a mutant, he had scales instead of skin and webbed fingers.
"He's dead." She said in between weeps.
I pulled the man to my face hanging him upside down. "Tell me, have you ever heard of the West Coast Blue Punisher?" I asked him referring to the nickname the papers had given me. He shook his head, I was known for taking out cells of the 'Friends'.
"Hi." I said with a smile as I dropped him behind me and picked up his unconscious friend by the light pole. The man began to scream as I drug him away, I even felt him scratching at the sidewalk as I drug him down the alleyway nearest the incident and pinned him to the wall with my claws.
"You killed him." I said in a growl. "What did he do to you to deserve that?"
Just then two men walked into the alley. They were wearing purple suits and hoods with a sledge hammer symbol on the suit. They were looking at me with death glares, they wanted me dead.
"Need any help?" The one on the left said, the man against the wall could only nod and the men produced sledge hammers and cocked a special instrument on it to produce an electrical charge on them.
"Come on freak give it you're best shot!" The one on the right said.
"You're not worth my best. Common scum picking on the weak and helpless, preying on fears and nightmares." Then my tail was in one and curved back just in time to catch the other in the gut. I pulled my tail out and spread it at the same time killing the men instantly.
"Where were we?" I said as I simply crushed the man's skull while screamed in pain and then stomped the unconscious ones skull into the ground.
"You, you killed them!" I heard the voice of one of the Gargoyles say in shock and horror. It was the small green one, Lexington if I remembered correctly.
"They won't be missed." I said with no emotion.
"What about their families!" He said in shock again.
"What about that young man's family, his rights, the life he and his love will never share, the children not to be born?" I spun on him as he neared me. "Never tell me of your moralistic views. I've seen them, blind and naïve. You think these groups are willing to talk, to co-exist. You and Xavier, both are blind to the war's you've been thrust into, at least Magneto has some clue." I said in absolute contempt . "And don't even tell me I had no right to judge him."
"At least he had some humanity. In him somewhere." Lexington said in disgust.
My mind snapped as I grabbed him by the neck and drug him to the young murdered man and shoved him into the corpse.
"He abandoned his humanity when he mercilessly killed him. When he beat this young man who was merely born different he ceased to be human. When he beat the blow that killed him he ceased to be alive." I picked up the small Gargoyle and tossed him across the street. "Take your morals and leave them at your castle, they don't belong in a war."
Then turning to the girl I spoke softly. "Let's take him home." The girl nodded as she stood up and handed the body to me. "He'll rest in peace in God's arms." I said as I picked her up. As I looked back at Lexington I heard her say something.
"Thank you. They wouldn't have gotten him his justice." She began to cry into my shoulder as she told me his address.
"Lexington." I said before I left. "This is why I work alone. I am not a fighter of justice or honor or whatever moral best describes your people. I am and will forever be a monster and I hunt these earthly devils." There was silence and then I heard him climb a wall, I smiled as I heard him fly off. At least one understood me now.
