Boiling Point{Salic}

Moving across the foundry floor, Salic soaked in the heat from the many furnaces melting all different types of metals and pouring them into molds for the different objects needed. A good deal of the planet didn’t know Salic wasn’t a mutant. And like most work places, there was always One person who has a problem with you. The person who had a problem with Salic was a big man standing at 6’9”, bald head, A goatee that was breaded to give him a ‘viking’ look. Salic always made fun of it. Today, Salic took it up a notch and blow torched half of it off and claimed it was a ‘Accident’ that he didn’t see the massive man walking past his station. His name is Dominic, ut most called him Big Dom. Big Dom was out for blood as he stalked Salic across the floor. When he was in position, he charged at him full force. The Ancient Mutant could hear those heavy feet thudding up at him. Turning his head and body half way so that he could look at Dom, Salic’s eyes looked like flowing lava spinning around in his Irises. Drawing their fists back, they both throw them at each other. When both fists collided against each other, there was a snapping and crunching sound as Dom’s hand went limp hanging there by the wrist. Dom screamed out in pain and Salic did a follow up by kicking the muscle head in the knee. The right knee of Dom went outwards as he screamed more in pain with his knee now broken. He fell over and was somewhat curled up on the dirty and dusty floor. Everyone watched what was happening as Salic looked at everyone who was staring at them. Walking up to the big guy’s head he grabbed the beard and began to drag him across the floor towards the one furnace. A blank expression on his face, he lifted him up so that they were eye to eye. “If you think you can muscle yourself around...You will be mistaken. You ARE on the bottom of the food chain next to me.” Salic said coldly. With his free hand, he slid it into the furnace and grabbed a handful of molten metal and brought it out to show his hand and arm was still fine as the molten metal slid out of his hands and dropped, sizzling the ground by their feet.

Everyone now saw what he was and stood away from the two. He could see the fear in Dominic’s face at what he had witnessed and was dealt. Narrowing his eyes, he pulled the man closer as his eyes were now lava spinning in a rapid motion. “If you even Dare look in my direction in a manner that makes me think you want a fight...I’ll throw your worthless 300 pound ass into this furnace and make it look like an accident...Do I make myself clear?” The man nodded his head quickly as the tears that was pouring out of his eyes evaporated into salty steam because of the sheer heat. “Gooood.” Salic said and then tossed his ass away from him, causing him to hit a bolted down steel table. His body hit it and broke the bolts and flipped him and the table over, causing all the different tools and metal pieces to go flying and crashing against the wall and floors. The whistle blew to show that their shifts were over. Going back to his table, he grabbed his stuff and went to the punch out machine. Taking his card, he slid it into the machine and it punched him out. Sliding it into his back pocket, he turned his head to look at the aftermath, some of the workers ran over to Dom and helped him, one even called an ambulance. Smirking, he slid on his black leather jacket and walked out into the afternoon air. His boots thudded softly as he walked across the parking lot asphalt while pulling out his keys. He walked up to his Crimson red metallic ‘86 Heritage Softtail Harley Davidson. Salic had customized it so that it ran fast and everything except for the seat, helmet, throttle and tires were all made from Titanium. Making his Harley a very tough motorcycle. Reaching into his jacket, he took out his slick riding glasses and put them on. Getting on the Harley, he fired up the engine and reeves the engine a few times before putting the kick stand up and laid into the throttle. Causing a burnout and a wall of smoke behind him, he peeled out of the parking lot and merged into traffic without stopping. He had seen the ambulance coming the other way and was going to his work. A grin was over his face as he went in and out of the lines of traffic. The wind swept his hair back in flickering motions. His body began to emit flickers of flames as he began to get into the thrill of this deadly stunt. He was going as far as going straight through red lights and going through between vehicles.

Pulling the bike up to a club he went to every now and then, he found a spot near the club. Bringing down the kickstand, he killed the engine and took out the key. Getting off the bike by swinging his right leg over it and onto the asphalt, he saw that it was nearly jammed packed. So it meant that it was going to be crowded inside. Taking off his glasses and putting them back into his jacket, he took the jacket off then so that his white T-shirt was showing that it was hugging his body. He walked across the parking lot and to the front door. The bouncer let him in and Salic was greeted by what he thought earlier, it was crowded and the music was booming. Weaving in and around people, he made it to the bar. Looking at the female bartender, he leaned closer to her and asked for a bottle of Everclear. An eyebrow raised up on her face as he set four hundred dollars down. Grabbing the bottle and a glass for him. He smirked as he picked them both up and cut his way through those on the dance floor, even bumping into a guy who then spilled his drink over his date. Salic didn’t stop nor did he care that he had caused a scene as he went to a table. Setting the bottle and crystal cup down onto it, the man walked right up to him and grabbed by his shoulder and spun him around, but didn’t expect what was to happen next. The guy who was annoyed was met by a fist to the face which sent him flying across the dance floor and skidded to a stop at the bar. Heat began to pour off him as the sweat that was on Salic evaporated off his body as he grinned at the man who was knocked out. Sitting down, he took the cap off of the bottle and poured the glass full. Taking his right index finger, he set it into the glass of alcohol and in a flash, the drink lit on fire since it was 135 proof. Lifting the glass, he downed it straight with a kick of his head. Slamming the glass down and shaking his head a bit, he wiped his mouth with his forearm as he sat there looking at the crowd. The smirk broadened as he saw bouncers going to the man who was knocked out to check on him.

When the bouncers finally looked in his direction, he was watching them with a smile on his face while he poured himself another drink and raised it to them, then drank the second full glass of Everclear. The more he drank, the hotter he was becoming. Pouring a third glass, he heard someone coming over to him and sat on the arm of the chair asking him in a whisper with her hot breath washing over his ear and neck, causing him to have a shiver go down his back. Leaning softly back, she slid right onto his lap before he could answer. Looking down at her into her eyes, he replied. “Seems to me I have company either way. When she sat on him, she would feel how hot he was feeling as he felt like a heating blanket turned up to high. Hearing her name, he smiled wickedly at her and said. “I like that...the name of a devastating force in all of space. One of pure fire, heat and destruction.” Feeling the finger tracing his jawline, he let out a growl like sound while closing his eyes. His heat built up more that was starting to cause the Everclear in the glass to slowly evaporating with the mist being noticeable. Opening his eyes, he looked at her with a smirk. The faded from blue, to purple and ended up in his irises turning red. “Well Nova, my name is Salic.” His attention went back up to the bouncers who had decided to get closer to him, but they kept a good enough distance from the two of them since Nova was sitting on his lap. He could feel the eyes of people looking at hem, so he turned his head and saw a group of young ladies looking at them both with their jaws wide open. An idea came to his mind it caused him to grin wickedly.

While looking at them, he blew them a kiss and winked. Turning to look at Nova, he wanted to give them something they wouldn’t forget for the ages to come. Leaning in to her, he placed his lips against hers with heat pouring out of his throat and his mouth like the heat of a campfire being pushed into Nova’s mouth. He did this for a few moments. It was the first test he gave someone to see if he can handle the heat he can produce. If he wanted to, in his human form he could emanate the heat of lava, or a heavy Metal smelting furnace for those that couldn’t handle the lava heat. It was perfect during the winter time. Breaking the kiss, he opened his eyes half open with a seductive manner to them as he looked over the shape of the lovely face. Looking in those wonderful eyes as if he was trying to put her into a trance. Feeling the sensation of those soft lips on his somewhat rougher lips. “Mmmm, I have an idea....let’s get out of this place. A bit cramped for my tastes. The night is still young, let’s see what type of hell we can stir this fine occasion of our meeting.” He kissed her once more, lifted her up while he stood up without any effort needed. He would set her down in the very hot chair he was sitting in, slid his jacket off of the other arm of the chair and slid it on. He turned and headed for the doors. But the two bouncers walked over to him and placed their hands on his arms. That was a bad mistake for them. With one fluid motion, he shot his hands up to their throats and began to emanate the heat of lava from his body. Everyone around him steered clear from the heat as smoke began to form at where he held them. Letting go, he had left burn marks of his hands on them as they fell to the floor trying to breath. Putting on his riding glasses, he stepped through.

The day had shifted to night time since a good bit of time had past since they were in there. Walking over to the Harley, he pulled out his keys. He slid them into the ignition and fired the Harley Davidson up. It’s engine roared to life as he had awaken it’s beast of a heart. He watched the doors to see if Nova would come along following him. If she did follow him, he would pick up the helmet behind him which was a skull cap that looked like a lava like formed of a hand reaching forward trying to grab the brim of the helmet and handed it towards him. His seat had what would a tampon seat which sat a bit on the rear fender. With the damp air, he had steaming forming around him looking almost like a fog bank had emerged from one’s darkest fantasies.

His red like flame covered eyes watched as Nova came over to him. She took the helmet and slid onto the bike behind him. When she put the helmet on, the girls from before came rushing out saying that they were going to tell the teachers. Looking at them with a smirk, he cleared his throat as if he was going to spit out snot. But instead of snot, he shot out a wad of brimstone onto the ground that melted the asphalt around it. Backing the bike out of the parking spot, he would feel her arms wrap around him as he throttled them out of the parking lot and merged into the traffic without slowing down. Horns honked at them, but Salic only laughed at them. In areas of New York, there was ruined sections from where Aliens and the Avengers has fought, leaving the areas abandoned as a reminder of what can happen. Salic and Nova we’re heading that direction. The bike roared into the night as he zigged and zagged them through the gaps of car’s that lit up the darkened streets. His head light piercing the darkness when there wasn’t any lights. On the road coming up was a dumpster with pieces of 2x4’s leaning against it. The building near it was being fixed up. But his eyes were on the dumpster as he was shifting to gain more speed and the bike roaring like a wild beast. Hitting the make shift ramp, the bike flew into the air with them still on it. Steam was still being formed around them making a wall of fog behind them both. 150 feet later, they landed on both tires with some sparks coming from the under carriage of the motorcycle. With how it was built, it was nothing it couldn’t handle.

Pulling onto a ruined street with craters in the road, broken cars and those that had become twisted piles of metal. Buildings stood in ruins as the scars of battle could still be seen and felt of what had happened here. He rode them to the center of the ruins and stopped. Bringing down the kick stand, he turned the bike off and slid off of it after Nova did. Standing up, he looked at the ruins and smiled. Taking the jacket, pants and his boots off, he placed them by the motorcycle and began walking around a bit in his underwear and his tight fitting shirt. From under his shirt, the half Celtic cross on the left side of his body was glowing in a bright red crimson color. His skin began to crack and peel back with steam came forth from him. “I think we should have a little demolition fun here. Enough buildings that need that little push for them to take a dirt nap.” As the skin cracked more and more over his body, an orange glow could be seen as the clothing he did have on caught on fire instantly. Coming forth from the cracks, Lava began to pour out of him and began to cover his bare naked figure. When he was in his form, he laughed a good bit as he was producing heat equal to that of the sun. Flexing his fingers a bit as he glowed brightly, melted the asphalt under him, ruined cars metal began to wrap and metal under the amount of the sheer heat he produced. Turning his head, he looked at her and winked with the Lava form. Raising his one hand up facing one of the tall buildings, lava shot forth in its different shades of orange arching and splattering across the ruined building. The Lava could be seen eating its way through it like a hot knife going through butter. The stream of lava he shot was now starting to shoot in a long blast like a fire hose. It could be seen blasting through the building and went through the others in line with it as fires bursted through each of the buildings. At a quick pace, buildings was being eaten by the lava and with the unbalance of them they began to fall over into cloud debris fields.

Salic moved himself to the biggest crater there was. It went fifteen feet deep into the ground. He jumped down into it and laughed to himself. Lava oozed off of his body and began filling it up like a swimming pool. As it filled up, he rose upwards standing on top of the flowing lava under his feet. Rising higher and higher through the hole, he finally came forth with his hands up like a cross pose. “Oh this is so much fun...someone who enjoys heat and destruction as much as I do here with me...can’t think of a better night than this to have this much fun.” With a thought, he began to spin first at a slow pace and would soon rapidly increase the speed as the lava under him was spinning with his speed and rose higher up making it look like a Volcanic Cyclone had emerged in the ruined section of New York. Drips of Lava flung off of it and smacked against the buildings and ground, consuming everything (except for Nova) they all touched. Fires erupted like an inferno throughout the different buildings and them falling into their fate inside of the hungry clutches of the lava. He lowered the lava back down to the crater and stepped from it and walked towards her, leaving lava filled foot prints until he stood before her looking down at her red and orange colored eyes. “You looking stunning tonight Nova.” He raised a hand up towards the side of her face but stopped. He was worried a bit that she couldn’t handle this form’s touch upon her flesh like the others, the others just disappeared from it when the lava had taken them all from him having any other types of fun.

A smirk came across his face when he felt her hand touching the liquid Magma and brought herself closer so that his palm was on the side of her face. His eyes looking like rapid currents of Magma saw a drip land on a piece of clothing that ignited. “I don’t think your clothing will survive my deadly touch gorgeous.” Stepping away from her, he went to the center of the street. Lifting his arms from his sides, he was going to show what else can do. His body to expand and grow. Standing at eight feet and six inches, he would then close his hands into fists. Growling deeply as he was pulsing outwards waves of heat causing everything around him to glow from it and begin to melt the steel into the ground. Concrete from buildings crack and spread to cause buildings to splinter and fall. The ground under him ripped across in many directions as the ground began to shake violently. With his knees bent, he hunched slightly as the lava began to embed into the ground. Molten Magma blasted out of the ground from behind him, it shot hundreds of feet into the air as it came crashing down. It’s fiery touch spewed and splashed onto everything and consumed it all leaving nothing but a hot molten pool. Standing up straight, he turned half way and looked at it. Turning his head her way, he would reach his hand up to her. Inviting her to walk with him to enjoy what he has made for them both.

Once she takes his hand, he would walk them out to the center of it. A groan came forth from him as he smiled more. “I have not been able to find a single soul on this planet who could survive this amount of heat. Tell me darling....how are you with swimming?” The smile broadened into a smirk. Under him, the lava opened up into a more liquid form as Salic fell into the bright molten liquid. Moving his arms fluently as if the lava was loose and free forming like water. Spiraling in it, he looked up at her with a smile and winked at her. It had been ages since he had swam inside of hot molten lava. But each time he had done so, he had felt lonely since he had one else to share this experience with. Until now that is, he was surprised that she was able to survive this much heat where as everyone was eaten by his gift. From her point of view, she wouldn’t see Salic in a molten form. She would be seeing him in his human form and he didn’t care nor mind that he was naked and swimming in front of her in this fashion.

While he swam around he didn’t stop looking at her, even when she stripped out of her clothing. Which he didn’t mind looking at every curve and feature of her body. Going half way down, he leveled himself to float as he heard the magma’s surface be disturbed with her swimming to him. When she reached him, her arms snaked up and around his neck with his hands resting on the small of her back. His body twisted a bit and the two of them slowly spun around in a circular motion with them both looking deeply into the other’s gaze, as if they couldn’t break away from the stare. With their spin, the pool of Lava began to cause a slow moving current around them. A wicked grin came over him as he looked down at her. Leaning his head down, he pressed his lips up against hers and began to make out with her inside of the lava. But since the lava was still liquid, they both needed to go up for air. With the muscles in his legs, he kicked them both upwards and went up towards the surface.

Breaching the surface, Salic would take in a deep in take of air and slowly opened his eyes. Looking down at her, he took his one hand and moved the dripping wet hot hair from her face. Steam emanated off of their heads and body parts that were exposed to the cool night time air. “I’m glad to see your enjoying my makeshift hot tub. And you are correct...tonight did get interesting. But what does one expect with two fiery souls like ours?” A wink would be seen from him as they floated there in the Magma. She was very beautiful as he looked upon her with a smile across his face. Not once did he expect for them to be floating in the lava like this, to be naked and holding each other. So many years had past him by without anyone to enjoy a night like this. Many souls had perished when they thought his fiery nature was nothing but a metaphor. And on this night, it felt like fates of time and by Odins grace it has all changed for him. Salic could feel his heart racing inside of himself. With his heart racing like a race horse in the open fields, his core temperature rose to the point that they were on the surface of the sun. With the heat building up, the pool of lava began eating up more of the road and even sidewalks, which also meant that the ground under them began to be consumed as well from the hungry Magma that was summoned by Salic. Bubbles came forth to the surface from the rising heat from Salic and it made him groan a bit from everything he was feeling. It was an exotic feeling to be feeling this with a very hot female with him.

The old warrior could feel the first tinges of excitement building inside of him as he tried to make sure that she couldn’t notice it. Letting go of her, he took his left hand and would splash her with the lava. As soon as he had done that, he dove under and began kicking his legs up and down in the fashion one would see a dolphin swimming in the oceans of Earth. Twisting his body a bit, his body would be seen spinning around as if toying Nova to give chase after him. With his control over lava, the affect of a wave coming forth from him would be seen as he began to cause the lava in the hole to form a stronger current which began to spin faster. Opening his arms, he looked towards Nova as he waited for her to catch him for he had something in mind he wanted to do as a smirk grew across his face.

With his arms open, she swam to him and he wrapped them around her as the current went around them like a blade in a river. The two of them rose up to the surface of the lava pool. “Nah, I haven’t done this in ages and I’m not as a hot thing compared to you gorgeous.” Kissing her a couple of times, he heard her thank him from saving her from a boring night and asked him lightly about finding somewhere private and secluded so that they could make their heatwaves to really rise between the two of them. Smirking, he only kissed her passionately to answer her question. The lava rippled and waves formed a bit as that wave that came from him before went outwards and the lava began to cause them to rise upwards so that their feet was now ground surface side and the lava came off them and back into the lava pool. The lava under their feet became stiff again so that they were standing upon it. Unlike water though, when the lava came off of them it left them dry due to the heat and the fact it wasn’t fully a liquid. “Let’s go find that place.” He said with a flirtatious tone and smacked her rear with his one hand.

Walking off of the lava, he headed for where he had placed his clothing. Picking up the jeans first, he slipped them over his bodies frame. Buttoning them up and tightening his belt. Slipping on his socks and slid his feet into his boots. Since his shirt had fallen victim to his mutation. Picking up her leather jacket, he set it onto the helmet that Nova was wearing. Kicking a leg over the motorcycle and him sitting down, he fired up the engine. Reaching into his right pocket, he fished out his cellphone. Turning it on, he saw he had no new messages or missed phone calls. He knew the reason because no one really liked him. There was the older messages from gal’s who tried to be in relationships with him, but sadly couldn’t withstand the heat his body produced. It had been a very lonely life he had to endure, but it seemed like for this era, the cards werent just in his favor, but also here’s as well as he watched her. His eyes looked over her figure and watched how she moved. She was stunning to him and couldn’t wait to see how things were going to turn out. When she made it over to him, he spoke up. “Throw my jacket on over yourself.” Once she was on withnthe helmet secured to her head and her arms wrapped around his bare torso, and the half Celtic cross glowed still as his foot shifted from neutral to first gear.

His mind was racing as to where they should go and one location that came to mind would work greatly. Pulling the accelerator back towards him, the motorcycle spun its back tire for a few seconds making a cloud of smoke before it lurched forward with the front tire going up into the air and then came back down with them racing like a rocket. Going in and out of different abandoned roads until they hit the main populated roads. Like before, he zigged and zagged through the little traffic that was on the roads at that hour. Salic was heading towards a location he had been to once before and it didn’t hold good memories. An hour of riding, they were near the woodlands of New York until he showed a rusty gate on a back dirt path and it didn’t hold them back. Salic used his heat to melt the metalof the fence as it’s two guard booths were empty. Going through the hole and riding down the near mile long path until they came up to an installation that was built by the military. It had a small structure that then led underground. Turning off the motorcycle and getting off, he looked at the place with his hands in his pockets. “This place closed down when the military and government couldn’t keep their test projects and prisoners...secured...its been sitting here for nearly thirty years.” He said out loud as he started to make his way towards the only door. When it opened, it groaned loudly from the rust gathering up and vegetation growing on it and its hinges. His body bursted into flames, lighting up the areas, showing a couple of desks, chairs and two doors. One door was an elevator and the other was to the stairwell. Going over to the stairwell door, he put his heavy foot through it and broke the door from the concrete seal around the doors edging. Wrapping an arm around her waist, he lifted her up, walked into the stairwell and jumped over the ledge in the middle.

Falling down, he braced for what was coming and landed on the now broken concrete floor. Letting her down easily, he began to walk down the only hallway. Along the walls, there was evidence of something had charred it and left a big hand trail, one that was the same size as his Golem form. He was a bit quiet as he walked to the end and opened the door at the end of the hall. It opened up to show holding cells that were either opened or the walls holding the doors were rubble. Salic led the way towards a cell that was off alone. It was charred at what was left of the wall and door. Above what was left of the door read an old piece of metal that said ‘#011’ Stepping inside, he looked at the full size bed that sat in the middle of the room and said. “They held us here against our wills. Drugging us when they wanted to see what we all could do. Hoping to make soldiers out of us....but I think it’s time for this place to be taken out for good....so what do you think about us making some heat in this place?” He asked with a smirk as the fire on his body began to burn hotter. He took his wallet and tossed it out into the hall and began to undo his pants and boots and pulled them off. Tossing them out as well, he stepped closer to her as the fire glowed brighter and truly lit the room brightly, holding his hand out towards her.
