Electrify - Volume 1 Chapter 4

That night when I went to sleep, I was over charged by a horrifying amount of electricity and a mix of muon particles. Muon particles were a type of sub atomic particles with higher mass which allowed them to be used as propellant of sorts and also packed enough impact to punch through metals nearly 20cm thick. They changed my body weirdly, now I had a choice between the type of blast I want to fire. One was basic electricity and new one was charged with muons, so I was more concussive than shocking. Peter was surprised by this development and churned out a few theories and what not. Fast flight was one of the things I could do now, cool but draining. Finn, was undetermined because to us that motherf.u.c.ker looked like a face on a robot. No emotion at all. Creepy as hell too, because while dealing with us he is a torturing robot and the instant he receives a call, he is smiling, laughing, well being human. What is more unnerving is the switch that he flicks is so instantaneous that we were lead to believe he was a split personality.

Now, Peter was complaining about how the baddies were running away from the mere sight of us and frankly it was getting to me as well. I walked into a bank robbery only to have all the thugs surrender immediately. There was a super buff dude as well and I shit you not, he was the first to hit the floor. People applauded but I was an empty win. Peter, on the other hand had finally caught a break on the Tombstone case. He Peter had finally gathered enough to put him down and also, the man made his appearance mere moments ago. With his excitement through the roof, Peter rushed to apprehend the man. While, Peter had asked me to back him up, Fury conveniently had me in the opposite part of the town. All the way to financial district, something about an private gallery that needed to be watched. Apparently, there was an illegal auction underway and all the gangs were participating in it. There was a code on sale, that allowed someone to hack into banks and the word was, it was designed by a man called tinkerer before he went crazy and was shipped to an asylum.

I was perched nearby and was cataloging all the people that showed up. The images went to the Shield and they gave me all they had on the said people. The list was extensive and the people who were of interest were highlighted back.

Colleen wing : run a dojo in China town, affiliated (suspected) with hand

Stane Thomas : Street thug, affiliated with Wilson Fisk AKA The Kingpin

The Collector : No known affiliation or alias.

Cotton Mouth : gang leader.

Tyson : GST leader

Gnucci, Steelgrave, Torino, Fusilli, these names went on for a while. They were all representing the crime families.

Aleksei Sytsevich AKA Rhino.

Richard Frapton: Ten Ring operative

Nick Davis councilman

As the list went on the hair on my neck stood up. The f.u.c.k. What is up with this auction?

“Kid, get out of there. I am sending a unit to your location. This has become too big to handled by you.” Fury said.

“The hell is going on? All most all of these people are criminals or known to work for them. And Aleksei was put down by us last month. How did he get out?” I yelled.

“the information was wrong. It happens sometimes. Aleksei was released because he was able to prove that he was under a hypnosis.” Fury said. “Yeah, someone pulled a lot of string on that one. If you want to stay there. Keep out of sight of anyone. You are not to be seen.” He hung up.

Ho ho ho, I get be a ninja. I psyched my self up and stealthily got on top of the roof and got into a vent. While, acting like batman was all amazing, what was not amazing was the mold and the disgusting algae on some parts of the vents. I shivered and after nearly 15 minutes of crawling I was on the auction hall. I lied on my stomach and watched the entire show.

There were many, many things to be sold and that nearly ate up 2 hours. Seriously, the paining that looked like someone ate some paint and vomited on a canvas went for 120k. Da f.u.c.k, I am sure I could have made something better. Sigh, I know that’s not how the “art” works but whatever. I mean there was an entire 50 pages worth of material I had on my tablet for appreciation of art. I sighed again and waited patiently.

I was still waiting for another 15 minutes when I heard someone crawling in the vent but from the other side. I floated up and glided away without causing any sound and peeked at the vent. I pulled up the schematics of the ventilation system and there was only one vent with prime access was it was this one. I saw a patch of silver hair and that’s all it took for me to identify the thief. Felecia hardy was here. Now, all I need to wait and watch. So, I pulled up a video on thermodynamics and let the time pass. The helmet had an AR interface that allowed me to watch the cat and the video at the same time. Well, Felecia kept distracting me with the ass that was facing towards me but I didn’t mind. Finally, she started to strip, weirding me out and turning me on at the same time.

Thankfully, or not, she had a neat black dress under there somehow and a bit of makeup as well. She got ready and opened the went at a time of applause and went in there. I approached the cat suit and planted a tracker. She was good at this because she was back with a hard drive in under 5 minutes. I doubt, I could have done that in under 10 minutes. This time she did get out of the dress and she was top less under that. Only a panties, oh I hated my luck because she was facing away from me. I calmed down and watched here leave after dressing back up. She even took her dress with her. I sighed at the logic and trailed behind her gliding ever so slowing without making a sound. We exited the building and she bee lined towards West village in Greenwich. I was flying high while trailing her so she didn’t see me at all. She entered a house and thought the window and climbed back out side in normal clothes. She then headed to the bus stop. I sighed and went to her house. I immediately spotted the hidden spot under a dresser. I grabbed the tracker and the hard drive before carefully placing everything the way it was before leaving. I hooked up the drive to my phone and downloaded all the data to a secure server. Shield has a small private server which is secure for all their agents. The data will be kept there until the agent accesses it. I went back to the auction and didn’t go inside this time. I stayed perched on a nearby building. The first one to exit the building was Stane. Guess, Fisk had won that drive fair and square. He was just a block away when a bunch of shield agents arrested him. This went on for quite some time until all the parties at the auction. Were rounded up. Well, except Aleksei, who was still in his suit for some reason. He went into a pickup truck and his goons took away. Well, that too was only for a block before they too were stopped and taken in by shield.

“Damn, it. You want to rumble.” Aleksie yelled out and began to destroy the street and everything on it.

I sighed and flew on top of him and sucked out the power but nothing happened. Rhino’s face was always projected on his suits hatch but when I drained his suit this time it was still there. The hell, how? I jumped down in front of him and looked at bit closer. The was not a projection, that was his face, damn he is huge. I sighed, comic books. He was moving slow as ever so I grabbed a sewer lid and hit the face shield till it popped out. He tried to grab me a few times but I was fast.

“Damn, Aleksie. How did this happen?” I yelled out.

“Electro. Come to meet your maker.” He yelled out and charged at me.

I shook my head and hit him in the head in the face with my sewer lid. The f.u.c.k.i.n.g lid bent as it touched his face. He yelled out loud and grabbed his face. His nose was bleeding and seemed to be broken. Damn, that is some defense. I used my spare grapple wire to tie him up as best as I could and stepped back to see my handy work. I slowed my self down and he was still frozen up. I smiled and went closer to him.

“Tell me Aleksie how did this happen.” I yelled out.

“What are you talking about?” He growled at me.

“The f.u.c.k.i.n.g super strength and the huge body.” I said.

“What super strength? It’s the suit.” I said still glaring at me.

Well, seems like he didn’t notice. How does a person miss that? I sighed and Wales away to the Shield van.

“Thanks for the help.” An agent said and rounded up all the un injured people. “Do you think elephant tranquilizers would work on him?” He chuckled and shot a tranq dark at Aleksei’s face.

It took 5 minutes for the dart to kick in despite it being shot at his face. Agent tried to pick him up but the dude was too heavy, we used a fork lift to tow that guy away.

“Kid, my agent report that they never discovered the drive. Do you have it?” Fury asked.

“Yeah, I upload to my server and destroyed it.” I said.

“Now, delete that. We don’t need a bunch of banks failing over night.” Fury said and hung up.

“Huh, he is never not a d.i.c.k.” I said and flew away.

I headed to the base and accessed the server. The program was highlight in a sea of black mail Material. With a click, the data was gone, although the black mail was still there. I got almost a thousand government employees on here that would loose everything if this ever got out. I sent everything to the Shield servers and went home.

I entered the home and went to see mom. She was making out with a dude on the couch, so I went to my room and ordered a pizza. It was here in under 10 minutes and mom handed me the pizza in my room and excuses herself. I sighed at her embarrassed look and just shut the door. I meditated for a while and went to sleep.

The next morning, I went to the kitchen to see what was made and I found a very angry mom looking at a card.

“Hey, mom what’s up?” I asked and she glared at me.

“What’s up? Maxwell Dillon. Explain this.” She yelled and handed me the paper.

Well, damn. It was my graduation certificate. I finally hit me. I did not tell her about the graduation or the ESU. I rubbed my forehead and got to explaining. She nearly blew a fuse when she heard about the ESU but nearly and hour of explaining later. She calmed down and cried because how proud she was. She finally introduced me to her boyfriend, dude worked in an office next to her shop. His name was Jack and he seems like a good guy. I looked him up on shield server and found out he was once arrested for vandalism once and that was it. Huh, he was clean. Good for mom.

I went to the base to get my ass kicked again and a few hour of ass kicking later, I was out in the city. A few citizen cheered when I flew by, stopped a bunch of robberies and helped an old lady. I stopped and called Pete.

“Hey, Pete you weren’t at the training today.”

“Yeah, the fight with Tombstone kind of wore me out. I am resting at my home.”

“You broke something, didn’t you.”

“Yeah, I punched him in the head but I broke my wrist.”

“So, wanna design that gauntlet later.”

“I already did that. I also placed an order for the parts they will arrive in two days.”

“Nice.”

“Felecia called man. She was all freaked out about something.”

“Yeah, kind of had to break into her home for an hard disk.”

“Dude, not cool.”

“What is not cool is that she is Black cat. The drive had some sensitive info.”

“I suspected. I will talk to her.” Pete sighed and hung up.

I sighed and went to patrolling the city. Peter and Felecia had been going out a few date but nothing was too serious. I remember Felecia’s ass and grinned. ‘Peter you lucky dog.’ Peter didn’t come to train for the entire week, I went to check up on him and walked in on Peter and Felecia full on making out.

Although, Peter’s armed looked pretty banged up, they were still going at it like no tomorrow. I left them alone and flew back to the base. I was about to head home when a police broadcast grabbed my attention. A man in an armor was robbing the bank, but no one could go close to him with out getting blasted out. I sighed an put the suit back on.

I headed to the site and flew down to Captain Stacy.

“Hey, what is the situation.” I asked.

“No one can get close, there is some sort of blast he keeps firing.” Stacy said. “Can you take him?”

“I can try.” I said and sped myself up and hurried inside.

The man was in a armor suit that has some sort of blaster on his wrists. They were huge but they fired Sound waves instead. I sighed and drain the armor dry before he could react. I slowed myself down to see the man fall down unable bear the weight of his own suit. I sighed and dragged him out side before flying off. The police were finally cooperative because Spiderman and Electro were registered Shield operatives. I sighed and went back to base. Finn called me and gave an hour long lecture about responsibly and handed me a badge.

“What? We didn’t complete the entire training program.” I said.

“Yeah, but you will complete it. Without me. Peter has sometime before he get registered but you have displayed greater maturity and respect for the job than him. I trust you to complete the training and continue to get better after it ends. Peter needs something big to make that leap.” Finn said and left.

I stood there shocked for a while. I called Fury.

“Fury, Finn just gave me a badge and said some bullshit”

“Not bullshit kid. I approved of that badge. What Agent Finn said is true. You have demonstrated enough responsibility and skills to be an agent.” Fury said and hung up.

Wow, I looked at the badge and it felt a bit heavy somehow. I sighed and stitched it onto my utility belt. I checked my phone and there was a huge change. The list of mission and assignments went on for days. Only a handful were New York based and the rest required me to travel a lot. There were many more things that I discovered on the tablet but the one that stood out the most was the permission to use deadly force. I had been granted one.

I sighed and went home. The next few days, I spent some time with Peter who was still training with Finn. Although, I still sparred with him, he was not nearly as demanding with his corrections as before. I was even given a gun. I kept it in my locker. The free time I got was used to train my powers. I spent nearly a week training like a mad man before getting a mission. It was to dismantle the human traffic ring in Harlem. I read up on all the disappearances in the area and also the frequency of the women who showed up with any papers. The hunch was that these guys were based in Mott haven outside of Harlem. I updated the procedures and headed to the area.

Seemingly, the area was a perfect spot for someone who like to smuggle people. Docks nearby, corrupted police force and overall quality of infrastructure here. I kept out of sight and began to record all the places I saw gangs, p.r.o.s.t.i.t.u.t.es and abandoned building. Now, let’s break leg. Literally.

After a few days and dozen broken legs and knocked out thugs, I was pointed towards the richer part of area. Duan Ji, a respectable gentleman. He owns the docks where the ‘goods’ came from and his track record also suggest a history of violence, drug abuse and animal cruelty. Though, he wasn’t ever charged because of lack of evidence but that end now. I asked for a warrant to search his house and it was granted in a heartbeat. It was actually a really down to earth house with a cozy feel. The man was married with 2 kids and the pictures and drawings would suggest that he was actually a good father. I sighed and turned on my electric sense to the max. There was nothing in the house that was even a slight suspicious. I turned on his computer and looked through his history and record. I found nothing, well except a few questionable p.o.r.n videos. Clowns and Mimes. Really? I sighed and left the house. I went to his power supply line and found a stray wire that leads somewhere. I followed it at least a few kilometers away to a warehouse Near the docks. It was closely guarded by 20 armed guys from a legit home defense company. I sighed and looked up what he was importing. Mannequins and marble or ceramic statues. Huh, I guess you could smuggle humans in disguise. I sighed and entered the warehouse and instantly found the girls and little boys being unloaded. I sent the videos and photos to the legal team and waited for the answer. Apparently, this was only enough to prove that Duan Ji own a ware house that is being used for illegal purposes and not that he is the one behind it. I sighed and caused an electric over load and blew out all the systems in the warehouse. That should bring the boss over to check out any problem.

I wait for a couple of hour and had to cause the overload quite a few time for the man to show up. He came in and immediately began to hit the service man with a bat. He also yelled out the defective quality goods and slapped a bunch of girls as well. I asked for permission again and got the heads up. I caused the surge again but this time I also took out all the light sources like their phone and flashlights. In the dark, I took out all the thugs and broke Duan hands with everyone in capacitated I called for the police and the Shield agent for a pick up.

The missions involving normal crimes didn’t really pose a challenge but they were time consuming. Curiously, there were no assassination missions and I knew for a fact that shield does those. I sighed and looked up the drug activities in the city. I had enough information to start the clean up, I had in mind. I started to mark all the delivery spot on the map and began the clean up. I went ahead and gathered the evidence from all the spots. From the peddlers to the accountants that were involved in the drug business. I was at it for 3 weeks before I had enough to make an impact.

“Fury, can I use the local police?” I said as I uploaded the plans and method of actions.

“Can be arranged. I will put an agent on all the teams.” Fury said and approved the plans.

The next day, it was the biggest drug operation in the history. We uncovered nearly a ton of coke while arresting almost 700 people. The operation got some heat from the political side but once I made the statement about how they were suspicious, they backed off. I sighed and went back to patrolling the streets. Peter, was also quite hyped about the operation and even lent a hand at one of the sites.

The next week was full of reports regarding the mass arrests and the confiscation of money. People went as far as to say that we had accomplished was Inhuman and there was a human right violation that took place. That became the base for their lawyers and defense attorneys, but the evidence I had provided was irrefutable. Many were charged with fines and jail, there was that human trafficker who was give the death penalty. There was also a minor issue regarding the overuse of force on thug by me but they could no longer afford to piss me off.

I sighed and went back home.
