A Group of Heroes - Chapter 3

     “Ok Dirt, -I said- Trick and I are gonna move in while you two try to shut down the console.” Sooner answered “Ok Cap, just say when.” I looked around the roof for everything that can help Trick and I to fight off the Rikti. I spotted a pile of gas tanks then turned to Trick and said “Trick, see that pile of tanks over there? Do you have an explosion arrow?” “Ya Cap, and I know what you mean, sure it’s ok?” I answered “Ya, don’t worry Trick, I’ll sure it’ll work.” Trick drew his arrow, lined it up on his bow, looking down it and focused on his target.

    He fired, the arrow went though a Rikti leg first but then continued to it’s main target.

*BOOOOOM!!!!*

The explosion killed the Rikti, knocking them off the edge of the roof. “Cap, Cap! What’s going on up there?!?” Dirt shouted. “The Rikti here are coming up there, Sooner and I will be right there, we need to get outta here!!” “Ok, ok Dirt! Anyway mission completed, the array got destroyed in the explosion.” Dirt answered in a very loud voice, “Explosion!?! What explosion!?! What the hell are you two up to!?!?”

     “I’ll explain it to you later, let’s get outta here!!” Trick and I jumped from the roof do to the explosion, Trick grabbed me, and flew us outta there. Dirt and Sooner were right behind us, just like Trick, Sooner was carrying Dirt while they flew out of there.

       About 5 miles from the exploding, burning building, we landed, “What the hell Cap?!” Dirt and Sooner said at the same time. “Sorry! Thought it was a good plan at the time!” Sooner then replied “Well Cap, it wasn’t, the mission may be completed but the array and building was destroyed and all information we COULD have gotten.” “Ya Cap, wasn't the best plan, ya know!” Trick stood there, just looking at us and listening. “And you Trick –Sooner said- what were you thinking!?” “Well, I thought it was a good idea at the time too.” Said Trick, looking at Sooner.
Sooner sighed, then said “Ok then, too late now, lets just go back to Dark Watcher to report what happened, ok?”

    The four of us traveled back to Vanguard base in a hurry. We entered the base, walked over to him and gave him the report. “Well, this is interesting Captain Myotis, -said Watcher- well, we could have gotten some good information from the consoles but still, mission complete, “goodish” job.

    “Well guys, if you all don’t mind, I’ll be heading back to my apartment, want to change into something more comfortable.” Dirt and Sooner just looked at me with an angry face and only said “Fine” and “Ok”. Trick just said “Take care, we shall call you if we need everything”  I waved good bye and then walking into the purple, round looking portal back to Atlas. I took the o Trans back to Steel Canyon, whirled winded to change into my citizen cloths, walking into my apartment building saying good day to my door man, and then took the elevator up to my apartment. While in the elevator, I met my next door neighbor Ms. Patterson. “Good day, Ms. Patterson, how are you?” I asked “G-good my dear boy, thank you, what have you been up to?” “Nothing, was just working today, came home for a quick rest, that’s all” “H-h-honey, you smell of smoke…”, I replied “Work, work, work!” The elevator stopped at my floor, I said good bye to her while she was looking at me weirdly. I unlocked my door, walked in, and went to my bedroom.

      I took off my tights then went for a long, warm bath. After a while of bathing, I came out, slapped on a towel, and then walked over to my living room stereo. I picked up my favorite CD “Qunteto Nuevo Tango y Octeto” from Astor Piazzolla, took out the 2nd CD from this case, the “Nuevo Octeto” Cd, put it into the stereo, pressed played and let the stereo do the rest. The smooth tango filled the room, what joy of music. As I was walking to my kitchen, a knock came to my door, I walked over to answer it, I opened the door and a young lady was standing at my door, like in her 20’s. “Yes? How can I be of service?” the lady answered “It’s me Cap,  Sooner, I just stopped by to say I’m sorry about what I said about the mission.” “No problem Sooner, want to come in?”—“ Sure Cap, got any coffee or tea?”

        She walked into my apartment slowly, listening to the music, with an interested face. “It’s tango Sooner, my favorite type of music.” – “I know that Cap, just like it, that’s all.” I grabbed her hand with my right hand, pulled her closer to me, and then span her around smoothly. She just smiled at me. “So, tea or coffee Sooner?” –“Coffee please, bit tired.” I walked into the kitchen, leaving Sooner of the sofa, with a pile of magazines. I took the coffee pot and a small, green cup then pored the fresh, hot coffee into it. I shouted “Sugar and milk or cream?” –“Milk and a little bit of sugar please!” I put a wee bit of sugar and milk into the coffee and then walked out to the living room, handing the coffee on a plate to Sooner.

       “Why thank you, Cap.” –“No problem Sooner, so what also brings you here, business or pleasure?” I laughed, then she replied “Well Cap, I need a favor, I got another mission I need help with, a little villain from Rogue Isles is coming to Paragon City via flyer to try to rob the 1st National Bank of Paragon City, can you join?” – “Sure, I guess, Sooner, when and what time?”

“Our “insides man” says around 6:30pm, after closing time, and tomorrow.” –“Sure, I’ll be there and anyone else coming?” “Yes, Dirtwolf, Trick, Sam Granite and M I Abraham.” –“Oh, some old friends I get to see again, how nice.” I smiled for ear to ear. After about 30 minutes for just chatting about life, Paragon City, etc, Sooner was leaving my apartment. “Bye Sooner, thanks for coming!” “And thanks again, Cap!”

      “Oh, and the bank is located in Atlas Park, left of the statue of Atlas.”
-“Ok, thank’s, see ya tomorrow.”

She walked down the hall and into the elevator, she waved at me while the doors were closing. I walked back into my apartment, pored some coffee into my favorite mug, sat down and turned off the music and on the TV.

       The Paragon City News report was just starting.

“Welcome to the 3:00 o’clock news, I’m Juliana Rivera. Today’s top report, Vanguard soldiers, heroes and additional help are still trying to hold down the attacks in the Rikti War Zone. Unfortunately today there was a great explosion caused by a chain reaction. The explosion was caused accidentally by a group of heroes. The names of the heroes have not been mentioned yet, but there will be more investigation into this problem.”

        --“Shit, oh shit.” Said Captain Myotis. “Dirt is gonna kill me.”
The 3rd chapter of my story, 5 pages long and enjoy it!

Note: I know there are some mistakes, so please be kind.
