Chapter 112 - The Girl? Part Two (1/2)
Age 1991
”I'm kind of worried about Hero,” Ken said letting out a tiny sigh.
”Relax. I'm sure he'll be fine.” Nick said causally as they stepped under a sunroof, finally managing to get from out under the snow. ”He's an a.d.u.l.t... Actually, he's a sixteen-year-old child... But he's smart... Actually, he's kind of an idiot... But he's strong... Actually, I'm pretty sure anything that is an actual threat could take him, since he's not only inexperienced, he also doesn't know any kind of strategy or fighting style, and half his moves take up to much of his stamina, and break his limbs, so he can't even fight that long... But uh... Huh... Yeah, I see why you're worried.”
”Hero is gonna get himself killed if he's by himself...” Ken muttered as she let out a heavy sigh. ”Why does he get so stupid after every loss. He lost to Max, and stopped caring about being the strongest. He lost to Zero, and went through depression. And now he lost to that skeleton man, and he went off and wanted to be alone! How was I ever in love with that idiot!”
”You were in love with him???”
”Not the point!” She shouted.
”Oh right sorry...” Nick said sheepishly.
”I'm waiting five minutes...” Ken said going into a serious tone. ”I'm gonna give that idiot five minutes to show up and then I'm going after him.”
”I don't think that is a good idea...”
”I don't think your opinion is a good idea.”
”...That was just rude...”
”Don't care...”
”Devil girl...”
”Dumb metal man.”
”I hate you...”
Meanwhile...
”Come on,” Dawson said marching out of the building.
”Where are we going?” Ren asked curiously.
”Back to the hotel. We should tell the others. Plus I bet Sif will be heading back there at this time. I'd like to tell her, and Nick what we learned, as well as consider where to go from this point on... If what the doctor said was true, then we have a lot to worry about... Especially if he is changing his attack method up... I still don't know how his abilities work, but he appears to be able to become any man hiding inside of them. More disturbingly is from what I was told after the battle Hero, had with the cop, the victims seem to still be partially conscious. At least to an extent. We still don't know if he can change that or not, or anything about how powerful he really is.”
Ren gave a small nod. ”This is all so worrisome... He's a complete monster who kills for fun... And thanks to this blizzard I can barely see... And worse yet my Attribute can't really do much for fighting...”
”I thought all superhuman's had an Attribute that allowed for combat?” Dawson questioned.
”No. Superhumans are the only kinds of people that can have an Attribute designed for combat. However, we don't all have battle based Attributes. We still got the superior bodies though, and access to Mantra...”
”How's your Mantra then? Can you use any of the Words of Power? Maybe use Pero?”
”I can use Fero, and tiny bit of Dero, but that's it...” Ren said shrugging. ”I guess I could try to use Pero, but you know how taxing that is on the body. One wrong mistake and I could destroy myself on the inside.”
”I understand,” Dawson said nodding his head. ”Even I have trouble using Pero for long. The only person I've seen that is any good with it has been Jackson. Then again every Storm is a master of the Words of Power, so I'm not surprised. He also has access to Noble Mantra which is way easier, to control, and way more powerful, then normal Mantra.”
Ren let out a tiny laugh as a small smile managed to find its way onto her face. ”Nobel's... They get all the good stuff... Well since you're able to use Fero, do you think you could see through the snowstorm?”
”I suppose I can try. Never used it for that though. My type of Fero is more on the instinctual, prediction side of things.” Dawson said casually. He cupped his hands together in a prayer as he closed his eyes. ”...Fero...” He said softly as a white aura covered his eyes. Suddenly in front of him, the snowstorm vanished. Or at least it appeared to vanish. He could still feel the snow hitting him, but his eyes saw through the storm. Like X-ray vision, he was able to see the unseen. ”Okay. Follow me.”
”You can see?”
”Yeah. I'm able to-” Dawson stopped as a heavy frown formed its way onto his face. ”What? Why is she?” He grabbed Ren's hand as he marched through the storm?
”What is it? What do you see?”
Dawson ignored her as he walked forward. ”Lady Sif!” He called out stepping forward.
Now that they were closer Ren could see the outline of two small figures. Sif, and Sera?
