(A/N): I hope you all have had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I know I did. Now, off to Christmas shopping. Lol!.
Oh, and by the way. Fun fact about Finnick's wife, Elsa. Elsa is not only an all white snow bunny with beautiful blue eyes, but she is also actually Elsa from Frozen. I figured it would be a good twist and idea, since Finnick's powers are winter and Elsa's is the same, except her snow figures come to life. Well, I'm assume you all watched Frozen. Enjoy!.
CH. 6
Somewhere parked on the side of the road at night with the full moon still clear and bright, Finnick and Nick were drinking a few bottles of their favorite beer which is Stella Artois. Not too much beer since Finnick is driving his car. Now, all in truth, these two should be having these beers at the pool hall while shooting a few balls on the green pool table. That was nothing but a cover-up to both fool and convince Judy and Elsa into thinking that this is what they are doing every Wednesday night. In reality, the two were committing a serious illegal crime that is hero work on the down low.
Now, this is not Finnick's idea but it was Nick's since the two have been doing this both since after the hero ban law was set in motion, and when Nick moved back to Zootopia. Finnick does not want to do any of these felonies committing, but somehow Nick convinces him to go along with this wildness. Currently, the two were not only listening to an up-to-date police scanner that Nick had secretly ordered from Amazon and then hiding it from his wife's eyes when it arrived on their doorstep, but they also telling each other their superhero stories to pass the time. Nick and Finnick love to tell their tales about their time in the Glory Era. It made the two feel young and loose, before being tied down to marriage and having kids of their own.
Of course, the two love their wives and kids, it is just that they just wanted to have that unlimited freedom every now and then to help them feel alive. Now, this is worth knowing. Upon doing these secret nightly Wednesdays, both Finnick and Nick were having that unwanting anxious feeling. The feeling that they were being both watched and followed. Heck, Nick has had that feeling every time he drove from and to work, but his depression on the job had outweighed his suspension. Thinking that this is just all in his head. Finnick is starting to feel the same as well. Sometimes the mind can play tricks on you into thinking that you have a stalker. But not this time around. No. As a matter of fact, this is not mind trickery at all.
They are being watched. In fact, they are being watched at this very moment. A black smart car with deep tinted windows was parked way far behind them and was on the other side of the road. The animal that was mostly spying on Nick was a light silky-blond French female fox with an extremely deep French accent. She wore a French cap, with a black short-sleeved shirt and black jeans. Her boss has sent her to America and to the highly known diverse city that is Zootopia after his crew has had a potential match to the certain fox that he has been searching for a very long time. Both before and after he has gotten his wealth and his master plan.
The female French fox was on her car phone talking to one of the intels that were working for the same boss as she. "Hmmm, do not know for sure if this is the fox that our boss has been looking for. From what I can tell you during my time spying on him, he is one fat ass of a fox. He is still with that other little fox, which I have no idea if his a Super as well."
She listening in on the other end of the phone, hearing the other animal at headquarters ask about what they are currently doing. "Well, they are not doing any activities. They are just having a few beers and just...talking. Yes, I will call back if I have anything throughout the night. Au revoir."
Once hanging up she then keeps her sights on the two without losing focus. She picked up her coffee and took a few sips before putting it back down. Meanwhile, back in Finnick's car, Finnick is telling Nick his story about going against his archnemesis 'Global-Warming' before taking a few sips of his beer.
"So, I managed to come two after being knocked out, and I had to find myself tied up in a metal chair with two of his henchmens pointing Ak 47's on each side of my head, right?. Global Warming had that rocket chemical bomb that is designed to literally eradicate the entire ozone layer. Here he has the opportunity to take over the world and beat me. That is until..." Finnick grinned in waiting for Nick to say the missing word.
Nick chuckled as he knew the answer. "Hehehe, he started monologing."
"He started freaking monologing!." Finnick laughed and continued. "He monologues about him being the true elemental temperature while I am inferior to him. Shoot, his monologue had distracted him long enough for me to deep frost freeze the cuffs and break free. From there I put his goons on ice, ice solid punch Global Warming in the face, and finally disabled that bomb."
Nick calmed down from his laughing. "Man, what is up with bad guys and us Supers wanting to cut a promo?."
Finnick shrugged while taking a moment to look out his window while still having a grin on his face. "I think that our factions just like to hear ourselves talk. We are just being full of ourselves and being on our high..."
Finnick was interrupted when the police scan radio had picked up a radio contact from a police call. Nick got excited as he leaned over and started tuning the balance to hear the channel nice and clear. Finnick dropped his grin and replaced it with a fatigued sadness.
"Hey, the cops had reported a robbery." Nick looked at his best friend with excitement in his voice. "You wanna catch a robber?."
Finnick sighed. "No, Nick, I do not want to catch a robber. As a matter of fact, I do not want to do this anymore."
"What do you mean?. You do not want to aid the unfortunate?." Nick got concerned.
"No, I do want to aid the unfortunate, Nick. I love helping animals who are in need. But would like to have...I do not know...get permission." responded Finnick when opening another bottle to drink.
"Permission?." Nick crossed his arms with a brow raised. "You want permission to help someone?. For real?."
"Hey, I can take an invite, now." Finnick put his beer down. "I mean come on Nick, how long do you think the odds will stay in our favor?. We are just one step of mishap away from getting caught."
"Oh, come on, that is a load of fish bologna." Nick sighed in slight frustration. "The law enforcement has limitations when it comes down to bringing down suspects. Who needs an invitation to be granted to do something right?."
"Well, I like one for once, Nick. In fact, would it be interesting if we actually go to the pool hall and shoot some balls?. You know, to make our wives really believe that we are actually doing the thing that we are supposed to be doing. To spice things up." said Finnick.
Finnick sighed as this was not getting through to Nick at all. He fully relaxed as he now wants to talk about the main talk he wants to have.
"Hey, man. Did you read today's paper?. Precisely under the missing animal section. Someone we know from back in the day." Finnick looked at Nick.
Nick nodded. "Yeah, dude, I have. Gazer Dog. He was making a big promise that he would legalize superhero activity once he became state governor. I will be one of the animals that will vote for him come election. How long was he missing?. I did not get to read the full dialogue at home, since Judy is unable to control our kid's sibling brawl. I swear, Violet and Dash have been improving some much in their fighting just by watching WWE and AEW."
"Bruce has been missing for quite a good long while. He has been missing since last January. They waited this long to put him in the missing category as they did have investigators to find him. They gave up. They did not know what had led up to his disappearance. But I do. I know. He is doing what we are currently doing." Finnick explained.
"He told you that?. How long have you been seeing him?." Nick got into this conversation.
"No, Nick, I have not seen him. I have never seen him. In fact, I have never seen anyone from the good old days of the Glory Day era. Just you and Judy. Of course, I can not include Elsa, since she was not a Super, even though she has ice powers like myself but with interest. She used to be queen in another country overseas and gave her throne to her sister and husband." said Finnick.
Nick took another sip of his beer. "I get it and I know about that. She used to rule...Oh, what was it?. Annabelle?. Angus?. Anastasia?. Or was it..."
"Nick, my wife's country's name is Arendelle. Her language is Norwegian. She and Anna are rare polyglots in their country. Should I go?." asked Finnick, before putting the bottle to his lips.
"No, but..." Nick was stopped when the police scanner picked up an emergency transmission.
"Attention all units, we have a call in from Beaver Dam Lane, saying that a wildfire has broken loose in a condo. Calling any available fire departments to engage. Over and out."
"Finnick we are just five minutes away from that street." Nick looked at Finnick with a big smile. "Let's do it!."
Finnick sighed in defeat as he started his car. "I should have stayed at home and played Monopoly with the wife and kids."
The female French fox watched the car get turned on and drove off and followed them, after turning her engine on. "Finally, some real observation."
"Fire!. Yeah, baby!." Nick yelled in excitement.
The female French fox smirked. "A fire you say?. Now, this is worth my time watching."
*Hours Later*
During the whole rescue the residents in the hot firey condo and placing them at a safe distance before leaving the whole area before the authorities arrive. Nick and Finnick wore all black and a thick black ski mask to protect their identities. So far they managed to get everyone out of the hot burning building. Currently, Finnick has managed to grab a knocked-out hamster while Nick had few animals that were close to his size on his shoulders, while having an elephant on the very top.
"That is the last of them. Boy, what a pile. Alright, buddy, ice this down to clear a path before things get too heated." said Nick, avoiding the falling burning structure.
"Man, I hate your elemental non-humor puns." Finnick throws his hand to unleash cold.
The frost in his hands was shooting a weak stream. It bearly even touches the flames. Finnick tried multiple times to shoot but his powers kept going out.
"Come on, dude, any day now." Nick spoke as the heat is getting the best of him. "I'm serious need a cup of ice water. Will you please hurry..."
"I'm trying to do it!. I'm dehydrated!. I'm out of ice!." spoke Finnick.
"You are out of ice!?." Nick shook his head in absolute confusion. "You can not be serious!. You can not run out of ice!. Don't you get your super below temperature making from the air?."
Finnick turned around and snapped. "That is the only half of me producing subzero!. I need cold drinking water for me to consume in order for my ice DNA to be charged!. Without water, I can not produce the winter!. I'm not like my wife!. What is your excuse, huh!?. Ran out of super muscles!?."
Before Nick can say something a bunch of fallen burning wood comes crashing down, making the two stand back and make sure the unconscious residents are safe from harm.
"The fire and heat have weakened the walls!. One good hit and the whole building will fall down and us in it!." Nick informed before looking up and quickly responded. "Watch out!."
Nick pushes Finnick back as a burning piano falls through the wooden floor. It made the two run into the other room as the floor of the other room had instantly collapsed. They calmed down and needed to think as quickly as possible. Now, need to escape before things take a wrong burning turn.
"Alright, I will make an exception." Nick looked at Finnick. "Follow my tail, buddy, because things are going to get very tense."
"I'm right behind you." responded Finnick.
Nick gathered his strength and charged his way forward with Finnick close behind. Nick did not stop running as he wanted to keep his speed on high. He saw his target. A thick wooden wall in the form of tree logs. Nick put his shoulder into it when making contact with the wall. Both Nick and Finnick had gone through the wall and exited the burning building and crashed into another wall of another building that was beside the building. Upon hitting the cold marble floor the two looked at the big hole that Nick made and saw the whole building fall into the ground in flames.
"Boy, that was close." Nick chuckled.
Finnick chuckled back. "Great job, big lug."
Nick chuckled and loved for a job well done as he managed to get one foot on the floor. However, he noticed a clear glass case in front of him as he saw all types of variety of jewelry. His eyes grew wide as he looked at everything and saw expensive jewelry on display.
"Uh, oh." Nick got up and set off the motion detector alarm. "Ah, shit!."
The lights in the jewelry store were instantly turned on while the alarm went fully alert. Neither of the two foxes did not like where they were in as this was the worst way possible.
"Ah, no!." Finnick threw his arms in the air in anger. "Ain't that about a bitch!."
As the two former active Supers were arguing with one another about their misfortune situation while not focusing on what was going on outside. To make things worse, a few couple of cops have pulled up along with two firefighters all at once. A rookie female snow leopard, who just graduated from the police academy two weeks ago, exited out of the passenger side and recalled the alarm signal on her computer went off and saw the jewelry store that called for aid. Not only that but she also saw two suspects inside.
"Oh, why tonight?." She said when pulling out her gun and approaching with caution.
"This is just peachy and apples!. Now, they think we are robbing this place, not to mention we are freaking wearing criminal attire!." yelled Finnick.
Nick leans up against the display case while huffing and puffing through his mouth. "What were the odds of us in this position, huh?. Seriously?."
Before the conversation can go any further the double doors of the jewelry store busted wide open and in came the snow leopard. She pointed her gun at them while her hands were anxious and nervous.
"F...F...Freeze!. H...H...Hands in the air!." She ordered them.
Slowly and carefully, Nick and Finnick slowly raised their hands up. Now, they are screwed. Now, they had to phone call Clawhauser to get them out of this jam knowing that their families will have to be relocated. This will make it the very first time for Finnick do be relocated and he just hates moving out and packing. Finnick panicked as his eyes looked everywhere to find a way to get out of this situation. Then his eyes have landed on the water fountain with cups near him. He looked at the rookie cop and then back at the water fountain. He slowly reached for the stacked cup.
"H...Hey, I said Freeze!." She pointed her gun at Finnick.
"I'm thirsty, kid." Finnick pulled the cup up from the stacked cup. "My mouth is dry."
"S...S...Sir, d...d...don't make me s...s...shoot!." She warned.
Nick watched the young cop and sees that she had never been into an actual situation. Judy told him about that. She says that rookie cops that come fresh off the academy graduation would get trigger scares and accidentally kill the suspect or innocent. It is not a good reputation for police officers. However, it looked like Finnick was keeping the situation calm as best as he could.
"Youngblood, I am just trying to get just a little bit of fresh clean ice cold water." Finnick filled up his cup with water to the rim.
Once done he slowly and carefully raised the cup to his mouth to drink the cold H2O. Feeling that deep chill running throughout his whole entire body. If the snow leopard had supervision she could see the small cool frost running on his face. Feeling that good sensation, Finnick chuckled and felt recharged.
"Alright, sir. Now, that you have your drink..." She was stopped by Finnick.
"Yeah, Yeah, I know. I know." Finnick dropped his cup. Then unleashed a full powerful stream of frost with a grin. "Freeze!."
All the cops outside heard the gunshot on the inside of the jewelry store before immediately running on in with guns out. Upon aiming and seeing that no ones was there except for the residents of the now-destroyed condo. Weird. They recalled nothing about someone already come here before they got here. One cop turned around and was stopped dead when he saw the rookie snow leopard completely frozen in her gunfire position with her bullet frozen in midair.
"What the heck?." one of the cops said while scratching his head.
Somewhere away from the whole area, Nick and Finnick booked back to the car and got right on in. Finnick calmed down as he restarted his car and drove out as Nick removed his ski mask.
"Ah, man, great thinking, F. Boy, I thought we were goners for a damn second. Hehehe." Nick chuckled.
Finnick removed his ski mask. "The fuzz never bothered me anyway. My wife usually says that the cold never bothered her anyway. It doesn't bother me as well either. I just need to have a catchy slogan like my bunny wife. Oh, and by the way."
Finnick looked at Nick seriously. "This is going to be the final time doing this shit. Next, time, you are on your own, Nick. Facts."
"For Real, For Real?." asked Nick.
"Ah, you learned those new sayings of the new generation. My kids says the same thing when either me or Elsa get serious with them. But, yeah." Finnick looked back at Nick. "For Real, For Real."
The French fox watched the car be gone as she had the car phone on her ear. "Lousy, and yet productive."
"You want us to do another restart search, Mirage?." asked the animal on the other line.
"Oh, no. Far from it." Mirage smiled wickedly. "I'm telling you. This the fox that our boss has been looking and searching for. Transfer me to him, so I can give him the full details as to what I saw tonight. Trust me, if anyone knows Mr. Fox it is him. Fait."
