Legacies of light

Ten years ago

Φ “I NEED YOU BASTARDS TO HURRY THE FUCK UP!”

“But boss, we’re going as fast as possible. This is our best.”

Punching him in the face I say, “When you’ve passed the fuck out that’s when you are trying your best, so I don’t want to hear shit, WORK HARDER!”

As the cries from the merchandise get louder, I kick one of them in the face and then say, “SHUT THE FUCK UP!”

As one of the kids continues to cry an adult says, “Please let us go, we will give you anything you want.”

“Unless you guys can offer us -Censor- pieces of gold like the aliens, then we will let you go.”

“I promise even if I have to work my entire life, I will give you the money.”

Slapping the man across the face, I say, “Don’t fuck with me, does it look like I am talking about future money, I want to know what you can offer me right now. So, what can you give me?”

The man says nothing in response. “Nothing, just like I thought, so if you don’t have anything to give me be a good little slave and behave, THAT GOES FOR ALL OF YOU!”

One of the kids bites me on my leg. “WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING YOU LITTLE SHIT,” I say kicking him far away. “Oh, you're going to pay for that one.”

As I am about to beat the child, one of the members of our gang grabs my arm and says, “The aliens like the young ones, so we shouldn’t damage the kid.”

“DON’T TOUCH ME,” I say flinging him away. “What gives a little grunt like you the right to tell me what to do.”

Getting up the grunt says, “My name is Rise, and unlike you, I know how to use my head. So don’t go doing things that could damage this deal.”

“Don’t think you're going to get off light with that comment,” I say, preparing to crush these twigs face in.

Suddenly running through the door, I see one of my men say, “THE GPD ARE ON THERE WAY. THEY HAVE A FULL RAID SQUAD!”

“How did they find us,” I say completely shocked.

Wasting no time, Rise says, “Everyone get your gravity weapons ready, and get into position. Someone go mark the merchandise, we could use them as hostages, and be careful with the weapons, we don’t want a mini black hole forming.”

Punching rise in the face I say, “Who gave you permission to give orders.”

“Then what will you have said.”

Kicking him in the face I say, “Don’t get cocky brat. Everyone get your gravity weapons ready and get into your positions, and you with the stupid hair go mark the hostages.”

Gravity swords, hammers, gauntlets, shoes, and guns. The boss lent me all these weapons to make sure our deal goes through with the aliens; I can’t let the Gravitas mess it up. When those Gpd members storm in, I will crush them all. I am Sawyer, one of the oldest members of virtuoso, I can’t be taken out here.

As I stare at all the possible entry points into the building, I hear someone say, “Nice weather today.” Looking over at who said this I see the person who I sent to cover the children. “THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING YOU WHOR-.” Before I could finish my sentence, I feel an impact on my chin which knocks me unconscious.

Φ Infiltration successful. This man really had no idea what his workers looked like, what a dumbass.

“WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST DO TO THE BOSS YOU BITCH.”

“My son understands not to use such language, but it seems you guys can’t even understand that in your old age, how shameful.”

“DON’T FUCK WITH US BITCH,” one of them says as he swings his gravity sword in my direction. I could use my stun weapon, but instead, I have a more fun idea; using the gravity shoes I put on a little while ago I move around and knock the gang members out.

“Is that all you guys got, I thought you would be better.”

“Keep talking bitch, you will regret it.”

But all of them are unable to hit me they just flail around as I take each and everyone of them out one by one. Then I heard, “Cheap shot bitch, try and do it again.”

Looking over to the voice, I see the boss of this group has just gotten up. Letting out a sigh and rubbing the back of my neck I say, “If I was allowed to kill criminal’s I would have snapped your neck, but now I have to deal with this shit, what a bother.”

“Keep talking bitch, it won't be long till I crush you,” he says with his gravity hammer in hand. Using the hammer he can increase the gravity acting on any object he touches.

So, he constantly swings his hammer at me randomly, trying to crush me, but I dodge each time, and when I finally see an opening I kick him with the full force of my gravity shoes in the joints of both his arms which causes them to dislocate, then I quickly do the same to his knee joints.

Sitting on his body I say, “My name isn’t bitch it is Gloria Bogdan, remember it while you’re in prison.”

As the man lies there unable to do anything, he screams to his subordinates, “Come help me you dickheads.” But none of them move. “WHAT ARE YOU DOING.”

“It seems your time is over,” is what his subordinate named Rise says to him. “And since I don’t plan on getting caught with you all, I am going to get out of here.”

“Smart choice, but you don’t think I am really going to let you get away,” I say running straight at him.

“Don’t worry, I do my research on exceptional people, so I know all about you miss saint.” He says while throwing his gravity weapon at me. “I partially broke that and I am sure we both know what happens when a gravity weapon goes out of control,” he says while jumping out the window.

Stopping in my footsteps I see the gravity weapon go out of control as a mini black hole forms. So I instinctively run over to the hostages and use my gravity weapon to counteract it.

“Miss, are we going to die.”

Rubbing the child’s head I say, “Don’t worry about that, I promise we're all going to make it out alive.”

Φ “SQUAD LEADER TETRA!”

“What is it? We are about to being the raid on the virtuoso hideout.”

“That is exactly it. We started to pick up major gravity field manipulation inside their hideout, and following that an explosion when off.”

It must have been a black hole. “Send all teams to check if there are any survivors,” I say while running over there myself.

When we arrive, I am greeted with the remains of the giant that was supposed to be here blown to pieces. “What the hell happened?”

“Sir it seems there was some kind of brawl inside which ended with a gravity weapon going out of control.”

“Where there any survivors?”

“Not that we know of.”

“FUCK, how could this happen. DAMMMMMMMMIT!”

As I scream, I see a bunch of rubble get launched into the air then I hear, “SAFE.” Looking at where I hear the voice from, I see a familiar face walking out of the rubble with a bunch of civilians. Then I hear, “Oh, commissioner Cubix, the mission has been completed.”

Face palming, I say, “I should of know. Deputy commissioner Bogdan, unless dementia has finally kicked for me, I am one hundred percent sure that you shouldn’t be on this mission, So, THE FUCK.”

As the kidnappees are being check on, I have Gloria give me the rundown of what is going on. “You see I read through the mission plan, and I realized that they could just use all those guys as hostages, so I decided to change the plan a bit.”

“So, your plan was to throw yourself in the middle of a bunch of people, with very dangerous gravity weapons with absolutely no backup in an enclosed room.”

“Yes, that was my thought process.”

Hitting her on the head, I say, “HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF SELF-PRESERVATION? When you do things like this I honestly wonder if I should still make you my successor.”

“Hey, I made sure all the kidnappees were rescued.”

“But you let all the members of virtuoso die.”

“Fuck them.”

“I agree, but we still could have gotten useful information.”

With a carefree attitude, she says, “What’s all the nagging for I didn’t set off the weapon, one of them did, and I even saved all the hostages with absolutely zero casualties on our side, so I see this as an absolute win. The risk was worth it.”

“She is right commissioner all those evil bastards died, I don’t know why you have to be such a stick in the mud,” Arthur says.

“You both are very well aware that the future of the Gpd lies in your hands if you die everything will go up in flames, our entire plan will collapse.”

“I know, I know, you don’t have to keep nagging me.”

As I get angry bit by bit I eventually say, “Just don’t go doing all these dangerous things.”

Walking away she says “No can do I will act how I see fit, and anyway just like always I am fine, so no need to worry.”

Letting out a sigh I hear a slam. Looking behind me, I see that Gloria has fallen to the ground. Running over I say, “So how are you doing.”

“It seems I took a bit more damage than I first thought.”

“Talking a black hole straight on tends to do that.” Turning around I scream, “Get her to a hospital immediately!”

-Break-

Φ As I lay down on what I assume is a hospital bed I start to feel a soft hand press against my face as someone says, “Get up,” repeatedly.

So, I push whoever it is away from me, but they just repeat the same thing again and again. “Just give me three more days.” I suddenly feel a strong impact against my face.

“WHO THE FUCK IS MESSING WITH ME.” Looking around the hospital room, I see my son holding a shoe in his hand with my husband carrying him.

Then I heard my son Iancu say, “Fuck,” with a smile.

“What did I tell you about using that word,” I say giving him a death glare.

As Iancu starts to cry a bit he hides in his father's arms. Avaram sits down beside my bed and says, “Get used to crying Iancu, because you’re about to be a child of divorce.”

Slightly freaked out I say, “Dear husband, what are you talking about?”

“Well, I just thought we should get a divorce since you very clearly want to make me a widow.”

Panicking I say, “Pwease don’t divorce me, I love you very much.”

“Of if you love me you wouldn’t run into a black hole.”

“I am sorry.” Tetra you bastard, civilians shouldn’t know about the details of our missions.

Letting out a sigh, he says, “I was just joking, but when you are faced with a black hole you run no questions asked.”

“But.”

“No buts.”

“Mommy is super strong she won’t die.”

“You don’t understand Iancu, we shouldn’t be spending every second day in the infirmary.”

“But all the doctors are so nice here, I wish we could come back all the time.”

“You adorable but stupid child.”

While my husband and son are talking, I see a bunch of people behind them. Walking in they say, “Sorry if this is a bad time.”

Looking at their faces I notice they are the people I just saved. “We just wanted to say thank you for saving us.”

Getting out of bed I run over and say, “No thanks needed I was just doing my job.”

“Is there anyway we could thank you?”

Looking over at one of the young girls I say, “Well if you really want to one of you could marry my son.”

I suddenly feel something hit me in the back of my head and quickly following that I hear, “Don’t embarrass me, mom.”

-Break-

On our way home my husband says, “Are you sure you don’t want to spend more time in the hospital.”

“No, I am ok. Look I can already walk properly again.”

“Are you really human?”

“Mommy is a superhero isn’t that right Iancu.”

“Yeah, she is daddy.”

Opening the door Avaram says, “Well let’s hope she always wins like a superhero.”

As we walk through the house and reach the living room, I see my husband's facepalm then say, “How many times have I told you to stop breaking into our house you fuckboy.”

“That's no way to talk to an old friend, Avaram.”

Looking over to see who my husband is talking to, I come across a familiar face, it is Captivant.
