Sorry if this one's still kinda crappy, it didn't have much talking or anything new in general so if anyone has an ideas, I'm all ears as long as it isn't a radical change to the story.
Shad's Base, Boston, Night, Shad's PoV
I looked over the suit I'd brought back to base, and if I had to be brutally honest… it was freaking badass! It looked similar to the Big Sister armor, only it was more masculine, for lack of a better term. The suit was made of red metal and leather, and had claws on the fingers, blades on the elbows and knees, spikes and propellers on the bottoms of the boots. The helmet was more of a head shape with two position adjustable, circular lenses instead of the diver porthole that Rose's armor had. Also it had a gun mounted on the shoulder, and a three foot tailpiece tipped with a nasty four inch needle. The only problem was, who would wear it? It was too big for Sapphire and Simon (he hated that it was), Rose already had a suit of armor, and my brothers (namely Rinku) weren't in the team. So that meant that either I wore it, or Jake did.
"So… who's gonna wear this?" I asked. It was inevitable that someone would.
"I wish I could," growled Simon in an angered tone. I don't blame him either; he LIVED for some of stuff the stuff this armor had equipped.
"I want daddy to wear it," Sapphire said while looking at me. I guess it would make me look like her old dad if I wore it, although it was much slimmer than the bulky armor he wore.
"How about we flip a coin to decide who wears it?" Jake suggested.
"Alright, we let fate decide," I nodded agreeing with him. I pulled out a coin and flipped it into the air.
"Heads/Tails!" we called out. It landed on tails, much to my joy.
"Alright!" I yelled out in celebration. I got to wear the most badass armor in the world now, who wouldn't be happy? I got a can of spray paint and a stencil with my emblem and sprayed it on the right shoulder.
"We're going on a job tonight guys, I wanna test this thing out!" I told my team. "You coming Rose?" I asked my new friend. She deserved a chance to try to do a job just as must as Sapphire. After all, she was new.
"Yeah sure," she answered, her eyes dancing with excitement despite her neutral tone. She must've wanted to join in on a job ever since I helped her out.
"Alright then, get ready to get your hands dirty, we always get into a fight with splicers," I explained. "Jake get a target to steal from, I don't want to have to hunt a place down in the field!"
"Got it!" Jake responded, heading to his room to with a smirk to find a mark.
Meanwhile, Simon went to sharpen his machete for the oncoming battle, Sapphire went to get on her new disguise that I made for her on, and Rose went to her room to start getting her armor on. That left me to get the new armor on… by myself. 'How the fuck do you get this on!' I screamed internally after pinching myself on one of the locking mechanisms again. After a lot of trouble and confusion, as well as a bit of bloodshed, I finally got the armor on and active. I saw that Jake installed a research cam and a MP3 into the earpiece of the armor, so I put on Numb by Linkin Park and started singing along to it. Always calms me down when I'm stressed, but at this point I was trying to relax before the mission, ending up in a trance.
When I finished the song and came back to reality, I heard snoring around me, primarily at the entrance. I turned to look behind me and snorted in amusement; everyone was passed out on the floor. Confused, I looked at the watch and saw I developed a new plasmid. Siren Song, which I guess puts people to sleep or under my control from what I knew about sirens from mythology. Well it was still early, so I went to an arm chair, taking care not to tear it with my armor, and went to sleep like the rest of my teammates.
Sapphire woke me up an hour later, wearing a fixed up version of her old dress and a butterfly masquerade mask. It actually fit with the dress she was wearing, which I was delighted to see. I saw Simon in his disguise, a trench coat with a few throwing knives on the sleeves and a monochrome Deadpool mask with his machete on his back, sparring (I think) with Rose, who spray painted a rose onto the center of her armor's chestpiece. After I broke them up, we went to Jake's room for a house to raid. It was a four story mansion with a basement, large front and back yard with a pond a little ways away and a secret base at the bottom. It took Jake some digging to find the base since it was only known to the workers in it, but in his words, "there's always a small crack to chip through." It looked like only people equipped for underwater exploration could get people on land in, but that was where the majority of the fortune and treasure was, so that's where we had to go.
Before we went, I got some new plasmids and tonics to help out on the mission. I got myself the first tier of Frost Blast, Sports Boost, Armored Shell and Electro Bolt, and the second tier of Incinerate so I could endure and access more things. When I gave Sapphire the excess ADAM, she got Cloud Burst for combo potential and Incinerate to try to take after me. The video that came with it showed that Cloud Burst was a plasmid that made a rain cloud over the area where it's sent and that it works best when combined with Electro Bolt or Frost Blast. Simon got second tier of Electro Bolt, both Armored Shells, Sonic Boom, and an Eve booster. We were ready for almost anything at this point, so I got some ammo for the shoulder gun (.556 rounds), and tranq pistol, grabbed some Eve hypos, and set out with my team on another job.
The original ending AN for this chapter said I had something on deviantart that doesn't really exist on there yet. I'll probably put it up when that picture does make it's way onto the site.
