SpeedFreak muttered to himself "Yep..it hurts just the same as before..." He staggered to his feet and yelled "Whats the f*cking matter!? You get a lisp when you got shot?!" He slammed his fist down on the dumpster, a deafening boom sounding off, causing the Symbiote to squirm around Adam's form, the boy leaving a slight dent in the container. Taking his chance, SpeedFreak ran forward and leapt into the air, spiralling with one leg outstretched, round house kicking Adam in the face, the force sending him flying backwards while Kevin landed in a crouch, eyes fixed on the alien...

[TyrantTR]

The Symbiote hit the ground, digging his claws into the concrete of the allyway to gain traction, his feet were outstreached, as if he was a runner ready to take off. He gave a deep hiss at Kevin, but did not strike, he waited. getting into a more relaxed position, eyeing Kevin closely. Then a crunch under Kevin's feet. A tentacle exploded from the concrete flooring, grabbing onto Kevin's face and wrapping around it tightly. The Tentacle tensed, ripping up the concrete and pulling Kevin under dragging him through the ground and then pulling him back to the surface, he was being held by the throat by the creature now, though it lacked eyes, it gave a devilish grin, clenching tight on Kevin's throat.
but then, the liquid on its arm receeded. It rolled back revealing a human arm underneath, the clench was loosened, as the creatures hideous face was forced to pull back to Adam's human expressions. "NOOOO!" he dropped the kid, turning away, burying his face in his hands, the liquid writhing trying to regain control.
YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO STOP ADAPTATION FRIEND
Adam took his head out of his hands clenching his fists, he let out a scream as if in pain. he wanted it out, but it wouldn't leave, he was almost sure it would never leave. The things he's heard the things he's thought. This thing was going to turn him into a monster, if it hadn't already.

[C S]

As Adam struggled against the....thing, Kevin dropped to the ground, taking a deep breath. Kevin launched himself into a backflip soon after, doing several hand to foot rolls until he was by Jake's body. He tensed up. He fell onto all four's pounding the ground with one fist, rage, frustration and sadness welling up within him. He snarled to himself "If a desperate motherf*cker could kill you...then I might as well use his weapon to get vengeance" His hand slammed around the hilt of the gun Adam used to take Jake's life. He lined up the notch on the barrel with Adam's form. He put a finger on the trigger and, with a tremble, pulled the trigger

BANG

The shot went off. He felt the recoil go down his arm. The noise had made the symbiote squirm in pain again. The shot missed however.. "I cant...its not my decision...I cant kill him..." SpeedFreak rasped under his breath. "But that doesnt mean I cant use this!" He yelled, as he got up, gun aimed to the sky. He fired off another round, BANG, using the noise to inflict damage...

[TyrantTR]

Adam tried to yell but the sound was gargled out as the symbiote covered his face again. The smooth liquid like face was split as the mouth emerged again, teeth bared.
The liquid squirmed at the second shot. But the monster just stood there.
"Only.... fooourrrrr... rounds..... in.... guuuuuuuun....." it spoke, knowing that what caused it pain could do no more as it was out of amunition. Adam was too poor to aford much ammo for the revolver, he figured all he'd need was four bullets, as it was all he could afford. He didnt want to use any of them to begin with.
"Ceeaaaaaaaaceeeeeeeeeeeee...." the Creature was struggling with words, but it's host was weekend and uncooperative so it couldn't afford to stay in combat. It had to end this. "Keeeeeevinnnnnnnn...."

[C S]

"And I just used two.." Kevin replied. "And you used...two...f*ck" He grumbled to himself. "PEACHY!" He yelled, chucking the gun at Adam with considerable force, charging at him after, appearing infront of the symbiote in what seemed to be a second, punches slamming into his jaws faster than he could react, before the boy twisted about, grabbing the gun that was flipping end over end towards the symbiote, his grip locked around the weapon's barrel. He spun about again, slamming the butt of the gun into Adam's head, the blow knocking him over...

[TyrantTR]

Teeth flew out of Adam's mouth, he hit thr ground, hard. The symbiote wasn't going to hesitate this time. Its teeth regrew as it lunged forward and sunk them into Kevin's ankle. The muscular form lept into the air, carrying Kevin with it. and landed on the roof of the building. It threw Kevin to the ground with a twist of its neck then held him down with its foot. The creature lowered its head, arching its back until it was face to face with Kevin. spit oozed from its mouth onto Kevin's face. "Ssssssssssssssstooooooooop......." it hissed at the boy, pressing harder with its foot.

[C S]

"Ugh!" Kevin yelled. "Dry. Clean. ONLY!" He bellowed as he contracted his knees and arced his back, raising his lower body. He swung his feet into Adam's lower back, sending him stumbling, his leg raising up off of Kevin, who promptly rolled out from under him. He got to his feet, cupped his hands and charged Adam, swinging his arms as he passed into the back of his head, the blow dazing him further...

[TyrantTR]

The Symbiote looked up hissing, dazzed. It swung furiously, giveing a visious backhand blow to Kevin's face, sending him rolling to the side. "SSSTOP" it rasped, trying to form the word as loudly as posible.
"Aaaa...Ally" it took a step forward. Ready to fight back, this dumb kid didn't get it, if it had to kill him it would. But it didn't know if its emotionally disturbed host would let it.

[C S]

Kevin yelled with the hit, landing just near the edge of the roof. He coughed "Stop!? Why didnt YOU stop? He was a KID! And you killed him! For what?!" He flipped back onto his feet and sped forward, jumping just before he made contact, raising a leg as he did so, kicking Adam's bottom jaw, jerking his head up suddenly while knocking him off balance

[TyrantTR]

The Symbiote regained balance soon, its fists clenched. But then, it stopped. The liquid drained from its face first, soon the rest of the body as well, it layer over itself until it was just a clump on the leg, which just evaporated into Adam's skin. He was crying, Adam stumbled back, crashing against a small shed on the roof. He was exausted and still in shock. "I-I..." he studdered, swalowing some spit before trying to speak again. "It just, happened. I didn't... I didn't want to kill anybody. I just wanted to...to" Adam dug his head into his knees in shame, sheltering his head with his two arms. Closeing in his thoughts.
Pitiful human, fight, live, survive, don't spend so much time in self pity, you'll lose focus of what is important.
"what is important?" Adam spoke quietly. "You? Survival?"
Us the voice echoed, that word, that blasted word, rang in his head over and over again. US? This thing tells him its acceptable to kill, its reasonable to do whats necesary, no matter what it takes, no matter who gets in the way. He was the opisote of that, he was NOTHING like that, and it dares to refer to them as "US"? Like there one in the same, like there in a group, best friends, something slightly related
No it couldn't be, he and this monster are not related, not in the smallest fraction of a bit. He was as far segragated from this horrendous... thing as he could possibly be.

[C S]

SpeedFreak bared his teeth. "Remorse? REMORSE!?" He yelled at the crying man. He broke into a brisk walk towards Adam, slamming his hands onto Adam's collar, wrenching him to his feet. Outstretching the limbs, he held Adam over the edge of the building, over Jake's body. "Look down! Thats the boy you killed! Probably for his damn Symbiote!" The hero accused. He was just about ready to drop the man, but the same twinge in the back of his head stopped him. "Its not my decision..." Kevin thought once more, before twisting around and throwing the man back over the building, Adam sliding across the roof like a ragdoll as SpeedFreak waited for the Symbiote to emerge again...

[TyrantTR]

You can let him slap you around the rooftop Adam, I don't care, he can even kill you before I start to give two cents about what happens here. There is plenty of more capable hosts, plenty more people in the streets, people who are scumbags or cut throats or people with the ability to do what is necsisary.
"No..." Adam groaned. Pushing himself to his feet. He looked up to Kevin, Sadness in his eyes. "I'm not what you think I am... I'm not like this... this twisted THING INSIDE ME" Adam shouted. "I didn't want ANY of this to happen, that kid, was the first person Ive ever F***in killed in my life!"
Adam stared at Kevin, angry at what he'd done, what this thing was trying to turn him into.
"Hell this was the first time I even resorted to trying to mug someone." Adam started to chuckle a bit, his speach getting more sloppy, a tear dripped down his cheek. "The first time. heh" he was almost hysterical, trying to hold in laughter, as the tears poured down his face. "My first mugging, and I shot a kid..." Adam was silent now. "You'll never understand what goes through my head, what can I say? I was nervous, ectatic, when I first told him I wanted everything he had I nearly soiled myself..." the man looked down a bit, solem, and thoughtful. "He, he was going to do something, and the gun was in my hand... and... I shot twice... What kind of failure of a common theif am I?"

[C S]

"You think that makes it OK? You killed him...because you wanted- did you LOOK at him!? It was obvious he had nothing to begin with! His mother died in a fire- his dad? Who knows?! And those were his ADOPTIVE parents. What happened to his real parents will be a mystery. The only thing he truelly had was that..thing in you...and even though he was...sub human when they were together... he was...strangly happy. So when you killed him- you DID take something. The last two things he had. His life, and his...partner.." SpeedFreak snarled at the man. "You not only fail as a theif, you fail as a person!" He snapped, streaking forward, slumped over, slamming his shoulders into Adam's stomach and blowing him off his feet... and off the building...

[TyrantTR]

Adam flipped, gripping onto the edge of the roof, trying to dig his finger nails in for traction. It wasn't enough, he slipped off the roof, trying to grab at any surface as he plummeted. He managed to briefly grab onto some balcony railing, griping the surface only to have the mommentum of his fall break his grip. He hit hard onto a canvas overhanging decorating the front of a conveinience store, but not enough to break the tightly wound fabric. He rebounded off it, touching down again and rolling onto the roof of a parked car, Unconsious, as the car alarm sounded throughout the streets, filled with people gathering to see what the noise was.

[C S]

SpeedFreak looked down at the scene, breathing hard. "What..have you done?" the young hero muttered to himself. Did Adam break anything from the fall? Was he even alive? Even after possibly killing a lowly scum bag who took a friend's life, he still worried about his well being. He stepped backwards, out of sight of the civillians below. Kevin didnt want SpeedFreak to be known as a murderer. Someone below yelled, a curious citizen who walked into the alley way to investigate the scene had stumbled over Jake's dead body. Kevin hung his head, and ran along the building, leaping onto the adjascent structure and moving along its roof, moving as a barly visable blur, his rappid foot falls clattering against the roof as he made his way down the block, leaping from building to building...

[TyrantTR]

As time passed Adam began to wake. He rolled over, letting his thoughts collect. He let out a sigh, he felt... alone. Had the fall knocked that thing out of him?
I'm still here Adam.
Wishful thinking tends to only bring you down harder. Adam decided it was in his interest to lay there for a bit. Soak in the momment, he shot and killed a kid, and he had some kung fu fight with said kid's friend in the allyway and on the rooftop.
What the hell had his life gone too?
Don't worry Adam, you aren't alone, I share your thoughts, your feelings, alone you were depressed, pitiful, sad, a laughable excuse of a human being. But with me you can be more, oooh so much more.
He couldn't belive this, the thing was comforting him, it was trying to make him feel better whilest making him hate it at the same time. He didn't share it's?ideals, but it was in his head, in his thoughts, it minipulated him, changed him, and he wasn't sure if it was for better or for worse.
"Hey are you ok?" a nervous bystander said, stepping up to the wrecked car, who's owner had still not showed. "huh?" Adam turned to look at the man, Dazzed by the street lights, it was night, he could have sworn it was day when he was fighting the kid. The man was all alone, no one was on the streets. "Yeah, I'm fine."
Were not fine Adam, were hungry.
Adam tried to ignore the thoughts, keep them out of his head.
"Need any help." the man asked.
Yes... The voice echoed in his head, it hurt, he couldn't think about anything else, he wanted it to stop. "YES" he hissed reaching out with his arm. A tentacle shot out, stabbing into the man's forehead, it began leaching on the civilian, sucking out his energy, his life, his soul. The tentacle pulled away, blood dripping off the tip. The man stood, dazed for a momment, then fell, stiff as a log, flat on his back. "Oh god..."
the tentacle retracted into his arm as Adam rolled over to look down at the body, a sudden burst of energy allowed him to prop himself up.
Did he just kill him? Is he outcold? What happened? WHAT?
"Oh god...." Adam looked at the roof, he scanned the area for Speedfreak, for Kevin, he was no where to be seen. Adam pushed himself off the car and looked around. He stuffed his hands in his warm jacket, and after surveying the surrowndings one last time, walked off into the distance, away from the body.

[C S]

A top the roof of a fairly tall building deep with in the city, SpeedFreak looked at the stream of lights below. Cars moved down their lanes normally, in such times where the definition "normal" was slowly changing to seeing mutants battle it out on the streets amongst civilians with reckless abandon, mutants fighting law enforcement, or simply a mutant going beserk for what ever reason. The boy hero simply looked into the darkening horizon now, trying to cope with what had just happened. He folded his arms and muttered to himself "If he wanted to save himself, he would use the symbiote. Thats why he killed Jake in the first place- he wanted his symbiote, what other reason is there? He probably wanted to die..after that break down..." He began to nod. "Yes, thats what happened. He felt remorse for what he did so he let himself drop..." Kevin took a deep breath and then looked back to the ground. He ran up the side of the building, defying gravity's will. The vigillante suddenly launched himself off the building, curling into a ball as he flipped forward. His body straightened out, face pointed to the ground, arms pasted to his side. The air rushed past him, howling like the wind, when suddenly SpeedFreak spread his arms and legs, twisting in midair so that he was falling somewhat level to the ground, moving slower than before. Not too far down the retangular building were metal spires that jutted out, flags waving away in the occaisonal breeze that blew. SpeedFreak slammed his hands around a flag pole, his body swinging up and around in before he slammed his feet onto it, stopping his motion. From where he was, it seemed to be another six to five stories before he hit the ground. Down the corperate building though, there was a wider base, allowing a small notch that went around the building that he could drop down onto. And so, SpeedFreak grabbed the blue and white striped flag that hung from the pole and leapt off the spire, swinging over holding onto the fabric. As it passed under the spire, the costumed hero let go, falling down onto the small ridge on all fours, a light thud sounding on impact. A man in a white button up dress shirt, who was at his office desk turned around in his chair, looking to the window behind him. His eyes widened as he rasped to himself "Not another costumed freak!" SpeedFreak's head seemed to jerk to the side when the man said "freak". He turned around also, seeing the shocked man muttering to himself "I dont know whats worse. The fact that people are still afraid of us heros...or the fact that every day there seems to be another damn person experiancing a fluke of fate... making people like me....normal" He shuddered and then leapt off of the building, falling the rest of the way onto the pedestrian walk way, another patter sounding off when he landed. Miliseconds after standing up, the boy became a blue and white streak rocketing down the walkway, heading for his home...

[TyrantTR]

The darkness of the late afternoon in the city was only a cold reminder of how alone Adam was. City lights and lamps faintly illuminated the streets, he could see that from the ally way which he curled himself up in the corner of. What had he become? A monster, that's what. He became what crawled and creeped in the dreams of children, he became what makes people afraid of the dark. And he didn't like one bit of it.
Why him? WHY HIM?
Fate, my friend, Fate is what binds us all, Fate offers glorious opportunities and devastating downfalls. It was Jake's fate, to die by your hand, as it is your fate to be my host. The sooner you accept this the less depressed, weak, and pitiful you will become.
"I'm not a heavy believer of fate." Adam murmured under his breath. He exhaled heavily, soon he'd have to get up and go to his apartment. But then, a striking pain hit him, like a bullet to the brain. He yelled, clutching onto his skull, fingers digging into his skin. He was seeing things, memories, visions. He realized he was seeing what Jake saw, he was seeing what Jake remembered, what he knew. Everything that the boy he killed just minutes ago was entering his brain like some twisted download process on the computer.
He saw Jake's first kiss, his first steps, his first kill. He knew now exactly what that boy had gone through, and what he had taken away, in the blink of an eye, he had lived a separate life. He knew every year of Jake's life by heart, and it killed him inside. He took everything away from Jake, including this, this... symbiote. Jake was never complete without it, he was FATED to have it, the symbiote must have been wrong, it couldn't have been fate that ended Jake's life, it couldn't have been anything supernatural, he was at the wrong place at the wrong time, because Adam was certain he himself, was sure as hell not meant for this.
He saw Kevin, what Kevin thought of Jake, and it broke his heart. He had to do something. He had to talk to the kid, tell him it was some twisted accident, that he wanted this thing OUT. He had to find Kevin. And with Jake's memories, he knew exactly where the kids house was.

[Doc 42]

The Hornet felt the shudder of the vehicle as it descended downwards. He reached to his belt, clipping off it's last remaining thermal grenade, twisting the dial at the top once. Simple insurance. He was fairly sure as to what was going on. He was going to make sure they knew the score.

[C S]

The platform trembled when it reached the end of its descent, into a dark chamber with metal walls. Suddenly, a light came on, a red twisting light that illuminated the empty chamber, while a siren wailed. Flaps incorperated into the walls infront of the van flipped out of place, machine gun sentries sliding into place and aiming down on the car. The doors opened, the driver and Deviant rushing out to the sides of the vehicle, Dviant's pistols drawn, the driver pointing a 9 milimeter at the back doors, waiting for a service drone to arrive to acess the situation, for now, the turrets offered protection...


Kevin weaved his way through the people walking on the streets, the civilians' heads turning as they barely caught a glimpse of the blur rocketing past them. "Running on the sidewalk is like dodging land mines!" SpeedFreak said to himself, several people hearing fragments of his speech and looking about for who ever said it, seeing the streak rocket on by. The boy suddenly launched into the air, flipping over to the side. He landed on the roadway, starting back into a run once more. He caught up to a blue convertable, the roof withdrawn and the driver, a woman had her hair undone, the locks flailing about in the wind. She turned her head to the boy running along side her, SpeedFreak's head turning to meet her gaze. "Watch the road, lady!" The hero scolded, turning his sights straight again and shooting off past the woman....
