2014-03-21 - Cutscene: Through the Cracks

Through the cracks

The Media event of Black Panther killing someone on Live TV was all the rage, both with the media, and Heroes No More. But there had been something else. The apparent death of the Hydra Agent at Cyberdragon's hands or talons, had slipped through the cracks.

When the Chaos had settled down, the idea that John had killed someone had hit him so hard, combined with the pain medication for his broken ribs wearing off  had made him pass out. Rather than wait around for the police, which Cyber decided wouldn't care that a Hydra goon died most likely would not warrant too deep an investigation, not with such a High priority event like the Panther.

As such Needing to be able to talk to John after reviewing what happened, Cyber chose not to return home to John's loft where John most likely would attempt to contact police. Cyber chose to take John to their secret lair. In the Forbidden Zone of Gotham. A place that had been wracked by an Earthquake. One of the buildings had an opening into the sewer system. And that sewer system while no longer in use opened up into the Gotham harbor.

And exploring it lead to a building where as near as he could tell only had three ways into it, climbing, flying, or the sewer entrance. Well four if you count teleportation. John since their joining had been pulling out some money from his account, 35k total, breaking the bills down at various stores, and then placing them in plastic wrap, then sealing them in aluminum foil sealed with a soldering gun. This made them air tight, perfect for underwater storage, or storage in a place where no one could get to room where the money packs were hidden.

Combined with John's camping supplies from last year, Tent, Air mattresses, Air pumps, Deep woods Off spray, and other... vermin away. Combined with some MREs and a small portable stove and space heater. John and Cyber could survive here even in the dead of winter. Combined with an alarm system that comprised a number of pots and pans on strings. Strung across most areas in such away that it would be impossible for anyone to cut the lines. Balanced and counter balanced so that if one line breaks or is move more then a couple inches. starts to knock the pots and pans.

Looking over John's sleeping form as he laid sedated on his air mattresses in a make shift bed room, Cyber turned his attention to the events that lead up to the Hydra's Agent's death.

Mr. Fantastic had been punching the Hydra goons left and right forcing one of them to be caught by Cyberdragon. He had been in the air and it forced him to land, Cyber used his tail to grab hold of, and break the guy's ankle, After they had landed they had turned and Flipped hurling the guy at the Female Scorpion Villain. Cyber recounted how much strength, and speed had been used. The Agent would have made the distance, easily and landed in a rolling heap. He would have been still alive. He had gone through the scene in his mind a hundred times. Some outside influence cost that Hydra Agent his Life. Now he just had to convince John.

Baring his fangs, Cyber Knew, he just knew this had the Heroes No More written all over it. Cyber's Duty is to protect his host, Physically, Mentally, and Emotionally.

Savage and Luthor... had just made a dangerous enemy.
