Buster was having a hell of a time trying to keep hold of William. There was one guy fighting William for a moment all thist shit went out the window, now Buster hung on for dear life. The magnet was a bad idea. He weighed much less that William. So did the extra hundred pounds of the manent iself. It pulled Buster towards Willaim like a god damned bullet. CLUNK! The magnet hit William in the side. Buster wasn't even sure that he felt it.
Buster smiled up at him and was about to make some stupid as joke when someone new showed up. Buster recognized the face from the GADEM facility. Everything turned to shit in about 0.1 seconds. Instantly his eyes searched for Sophia. He didn't mind being a hiliraious dick when he thought this was a game, but it was clear that William was not on some kind of drug. It was clear he had lost his fucking mind. Buster's heart sank as he heard the gunshot.
For once in his fucking life everything was clicking into place. Everything was as it should be. He even was engaged for the first time in his life. He put himself out there and honestly gave himself to someone for something more than the shallow and the phsycial. It meant that he opened up and Buster Fleetfoot was not the type of guy that opened up. For all his speed, all his quickness he couldn't do shit. It was as if he were rooted to the spot.
He was stuck to William with a powerful magnet, but he didn't think to let go and try and catch the bullet that fired. Buster watched as it hit Sophia! "NOOOOOOO!" Buster screamed. There were tears in his eyes and veins bulging in his neck. His face shook with intensity and his hair hung in his face. Buster turned to face the man who shot her and blood splattered on his face. It dotted his face like crimson specs. He blinked a few times as the bald asshole collapsed to the floor.
Buster could see the building across the street through the open door. He saw a big hulking man on the roof. He winked at Buster and then dropped something over the side of the building and he was gone. Buster couldn't think. He couldn't react. All his speed didn't do him a damn bit of good. Everything was happening too fast and he just watched it. The way you watch a slow motion trainwreck. Buster was jerked back into the moment by William. He was damn near pulled out of his sneakers as Willaim jerked him around form one direction to the next. Buster's mouth turned into a snarl. He grew tired of this shit. He watched as William turned into his human fleshy form and the magnet fell to the ground. The sudden weight in his hands nearly pulled Buster into the floor with it.
Everyone was gathering around Lulu and Sophia at the table. Except for Johnny who only laid in th Floor twitching. William had really done a number on it. He was going to be out for a few minutes. Buster saw the hole in Johnny's chest starting to close. His wound couldn't close with the antlers sticking through his chest like a fucking push pin on a corkboard. His leg twitched a little and he could hear and see everything. His head rolled back against the wall his eyes wide and shocked.
Johnny watched as Buster zipped up to the pool table where everyone else was. For the moment he didn't give a shit about William or his rampage. Buster squeezed Sophia's hand. "Hey babe. You're really going to die to get out of marrying me? A bit far don't you think?" He tried to laugh a little but he was worried. she had once made a joke about him getting captured by GADEM just to get out of an argument. Here he was flipping the script on her. "You don't get out of it that easy. You already said yes." He said squeezing her hand a little tighter. He didn't care anymore. Fuck keeping it a secret. He just wanted her to....
Buster was once again pulled back to reality as a big metal fist grabbed him by his jacket collar and yanked him to his feet. William pulled him so hard he hit the wall behind him. "Oh shit." Buster said as he quickly zipped away from another swing. William was strong, but Buster was fast. Although William only had to land one punch to squash Buster like a fucking bug againt a windshield. Buster was getting annoyed. His girl was fucking shot! What the fuck was Will's problem?!?!? "Dude! Chill the fuck out! You on that shit again?!?" He asked, ducking another punch that went through a brick wall.
He sighed and zipped over to the parking lot and grabbed a chain. He ran back inside and wrapped it quickly around William's neck. Buster ran up the wall and across the ceiling holding the other end of the chain. He jumped off the ceiling and drapped it across the rafters of the roof. Pulling the chain tight he padlocked it to the stripper pole. It was one sturdy ass pole apparantly. It could support the weight of Mouse. Yes. Go-Go had mentioned that little detail to everyone in the club and everyone found it quite hilarious. Zipping back over to William he picked up a baseball bat and swung it several times across William's face.
" CALM!" CLUNK "THE FUCK!" CLUNK "DOWN!!!!!" CLANK! Buster tossed the bat aside and his eyes shot over to Lulu. "Don't let her die Lulu. Don't you FUCKING LET HER DIE." Buster never really got into tangles with Lulu. The two were pretty compatable and usually on the same page, but he raised his voice a little and glared at Lulu to show how serious he was.
“I don’t know” Lara shoved her newly dyed auburn locks over her shoulder with a brief glance at the sun filtering in through the window panes, “I just know it’s bad”. Lara bit her lip nervous about how she’d justify her worry but she saved the whole dead girl bothering her for another time. Besides, she worried he’d feel guilty if he knew the young girl he killed on accident curiously peered at them from time to time, ethereal but encased in another plane of the world they existed in. She touched her temples as more flashes of images she didn’t truly understand invaded her mind, she fucking hated it but she didn’t exactly know if she could fend it off either. She saw Brittany held back by a man she hadn’t seen before, he looked capable enough and that left her at ease to some extent, she saw queenie standing over Sophia but she wasn’t sure what was wrong, her mind felt overcrowded with the visages flashing by like solid shapes taking form in the aftermath of a lightning strike in addition to the ghostly whispers ever present in her thoughts.
“You’re surprised?”, she joked back with a light chuckle following after him. she swung her legs over the cold touch of the bike’s frame, held onto Shawn’s torso and welcomed the cool lick of wind against her skin. Lara didn’t hesitate getting off, she noticed the tinted vans speeding off and the word GADEM left an awful taste to her already complexly tired mind. The last thing they needed was the government fucking everything up.
“I really wanted to be wrong about this”, she shot the words over her shoulder at Shawn with a ominous feeling still brewing inside her mind.
Lara could practically smell the lingering touch of death to the air as she rushed inside, she rolled her eyes at the bald asshole donning a bullet wound in the pool of his own blood. She could only assume he was GADEM for a second darting to Ladainia’s face mixed vaguely into the chaos. A single glare later and she lost the girl’s ghostly visage to the chaos matching the images that littered her mind. Lara shifted on her feet and reached out to hold onto Sophia’s legs, her painful screams were awful to hear even in the midst of all the chaos.
“What’s going on with them?”, she asked no one in particular as she tried making sense of everything. She knew GADEM was taking bigger risks but few people truly had the balls to attack the fools. She wasn’t sure how the whole future vision thing worked but it didn’t help a single fucking second when it did absolutely nothing to stop the events it foretold.

The fight came to a near dead still when a gun shot was heard and the dog that went flying that he hadn’t seen before hand yelled, landed on the ground in a crash like roll as she reverted to her human form. It was the lady he had just lifted up and set on the pool table. The man who shot her didn’t worry Simon because of his Diamond form. But, like all companies, this man was permanently laid off as the front of his forehead blew out and spewed blood, brain matter and chunks of skull in front of him. So he thought. Tires peeling out of the area could be heard as he saw Queenie came running in. It wasn’t a time for him to be all happy to see her right now. With the crowd around Sophia and picked her up, they carried her over to the Pool table. Reaching for the black diamond on his arm, he broke off five pieces of the tough material. Going through the crowd, he went to the table and placed them on her thighs, biceps and in the center of her rib cage. Concentrating, the Black Diamond began to expand across her legs, arms, and body except for the injury of the gun shot. The Black Diamond would spread downwards and held her to the pool table, as it moved to the shoulders, he moved Queenie’s hands from them so that she didn’t get stuck. Lulu apologized to the lady now covered in diamond and began digging into her as she screamed out in pain as the lady boss was trying to get the fragmented pieces inside of the body. Turning his head, he saw the guy who was with the woman who could shape shift into dog form had some how wrapped a chain against man of steel’s neck and then swung a bat at his head while yelling. Pieces of diamond shot off of Simon’s diamond armor and hit the steel body of the man. Like the woman, steel man was encased in diamond, until it reached half way up his neck. With him secured, he walked over to the body that laid bleeding on the bar floor. Simon took the gun and set it onto the bar counter. Crouching down, he began to go through his pockets until he fished out a wallet. It had his Drivers license and an ID that he was part of GADEM. His eye brows furrowed a bit when he saw it. It reminded him of when he was hunted many, many years ago.
25 years prior, Reading Pennsylvania
Simon was walking down the Main Street of Reading. Storm clouds hung over head as it was a heavy down pour around him. One hand was holding an umbrella and the other was in his pocket. He smiled and nodded his head at those that he past by. Turning onto Chestnut street, Simon was on his way back to his home after working out at the gym. A few people stepped out in front of him as they said, “Excuse us sir, we need you to come with us. Please don’t make us use force on you in front of many witnesses.” Simon stood there as his smile faded and he had a blank expression. “Mr. Crowley, we aren’t going to ask again.” His eyes saw what looked like a SWAT van pull around to be somewhat in front of him. It was an intimidation tactic to try to get Mutants to follow when they saw an armored personnel carrier. Undoing his umbrella, he dropped it to th ground as he placed his hands behind his head. The men moved over to him and the one took out a set of handcuffs. When they gotten closer, he could see handguns drawn and fixed on him. click, click... The first cuff was only able to click twice until he grabbed the man and spun around. The handguns fired a few times, striking the agent all over his body and one round had gotten Simon in his leg which only pissed him off even more. He grabbed the injured agents handgun while using him as a human shield. With a quick aim, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang bang bang bang bang. Bodies laid on the ground as he shot the final bullet into the man’s head that he held as a shield and dropped him to the sidewalk.
The heavy armored vehicle fired up it’s engine as he walked over to it. Grabbing each side of the front of it by slamming his hands against each fender. Bending his knees, he dug himself against the asphalt. The tires began to peel as he began to lift it up into the air. At 90 degree angle, Simon rough it back down with a loud crash. He lifted it up again and slammed it down again, over and over again until it was broken. The man who was in the driver seat was launched over with his head rolled backwards. If it wasn’t for the gloves he was wearing, he would have left finger prints. Grabbing his umbrella, he ran from the scene before the cops showed up. Running down ally ways and across peoples back yards, he needed to get out of the city. But first, he needed the bullet out of his leg.
current time The ID was still in his hand as he looked at it. Standing up, he threw it at the dead body. Reaching down, he picked up the body and carried it away from the front doors. Carrying it through the back and outside, he walked over to the one dumpster and tossed the body into it. Closing the lid to it with a loud clunk, he made his way back inside. Once inside, he turned out of his diamond form and walked back into the bar area. His eyes watched as Lulu was still fishing out the pieces of what was left of the bullet. Looking at the broken doors, he saw the blood. Walking around, he eventually found a bucket, a bottle of bleach and a mop. Pouring bleach into the bucket, he carried it out to the bloody area. He didn’t want Queenie cleaning the bloody mess up. Dipping the mop up and down in the bucket, the head of it came dow with a wet plop. Moving the mop back and forth, the blood and bleach moving back and forth as the blood was being soaked up. After a while, the blood was cleaned up and he carried the bucket into the back and dumped the bloody bleach down the cleaning closets dingy sink. Running hot water into it, he saw the steam forming from the nozzle of the sink as it forced the blood and bleached to wash up inside of the sink and down the drain. Putting the bucket into the sink, he began to rinse it out and poured it out a few times. Once he was satisfied with it not having blood, he put the materials back and went back out to the bar. Walking to the counter, he sat down on the stool and just looked at the counter with his arms resting on top of it.
Lifting one of hands, he would rub his face with it as he let out a long breath. He heard the shouts from the little man who was yelling towards Lulu who was working on Sophia. Spinning the stool a bit, he looked at the group as they were all mad and worried at the same time about the woman who was encased in Diamond. When Lulu would say she was done with she was doing, he would have the diamonds subside to their small fragment size in the places he had set them onto the bare skin. His eyes drifted towards those that were helpless prisoners to him. It showed that everyone knew these two, especially steel man with how they reacted. He would watch them as they had an empty stare to themselves. Simon would speak up since he had seen this in the military when prisoners were captured and were given a cocktail of truth serum that was stronger than the normal form of it that caused them to tell everything and do whatever it was they were told to do. “They were drugged...to do this. If they are lucky, they won’t remember doing this. If not, this will haunt them...” Shaking his head a bit, he sat there and said. “...and it looks like GADEM has become just as ruthless then before” This part he said to himself and sighed.
Hear my shapeless songs i'm singing and painting this morning light, bit by bit, hoping I'd get to that summer sky. I'm feeling alright I can see your palm reaching out to mine. ---In the orange sky, there is glowing fireflies.
In the process of trying to choke the life out of his brother he felt a grip on his wrist. The force was enough to Make his drop draven who fell to the ground gasping to catch his breath. Turning his attention to the man his fist flew right into his jaw. Turning his neck to the side the sound of mental cracking like bones could've heard. There was a return punch to his jaw and he stumbled back bit from the force of this titan who stood against him. When the guy charged him he ended up flying into a wall across the bar area.
When he did recover and make it to his feet he was headed towards his long time friend Buster. Though the magnet was a bit of a damper on his plans as he was drawn to it and a loud clank was heard as he was stuck. buster had released the magnet to go after Sophia and it took him a few moments in his drugged haze before he reverted to his normal state to drop the magnet from his body. Picking it up he tossed it right out the front door before reverting to his metal state and heading for buster.
Grabbing him by the collar he jerked him away from the pool table in a force that flung him into a wall. Though buster was to fast for him to land a punch and he found himself chained to a pole in the building. A metal bat repeatedly hit him in the face and he strained against the chain to get free. All was futile though when he was encased in A diamond shell and in the back ground Brittney who was also encased finally started coming to her senses. He followed shortly and as he reverted back to his normal state he had a killer headache. "What the fuck..." His voice spoke out as he looked down at he diamond and around the room at the destruction.

Working on digging out bullet fragments wasn't exactly a task to focus on with chaos around them. He glanced over at Buster who had come over to talk to his girlfriend. It was a bit of shocking news to hear that Buster actually proposed marriage to a woman. At this point she had a running wager that both him and William would be chasing women til they died. Guess she had to pay up on that count.
She didn't bother to comment on the marriage and she gave a nod to Simon who came and securely restrained the screaming woman. Though after a few more moment she had passed out from the pain levels she had been given. She heard Buster yelling at her not to let the woman die and she shot him a glare. There was no way she was letting someone that took a bullet for her die. Plus it was a flesh wound and she finally pulled the last fragment out.
Lulu heard Simon say something about them being drugged and that why they attacked. Seemed to be true cause both William and Brittney seemed to be coming down from the drug and looked rather confused as to what happened. "Simon could you be a dear and release our friends. I think they are back to their senses. Queenie help Buster get his girl into bed and get some pain meds from the stash in the back for her. She will probably be out for a while."
Lulu finished stitching the wound already and she pulled off her gloves before walking towards William. When the Diamond was removed she could see the unhappy look in his eye. "It wasn't your fault, Dont let it...." Her words trailed off as he turned and walked out the clubhouse doors. This wasn't going to be good and this move couldn't have come at a better time. With Brittney back that was already going to put him in a bad place and this probably pushed him over the edge.
