Slash Issue #1- The Beginning

Classified Location 9:44

John stood at his computer, double checking it one last time, while the man to his left patiently waited for him to finish. He is a skinny man, but it was well know that you do not cross him. Which is why Johns heart rate increased by the slightest amount. Most knew his real name, but he much preferred to be called by his codename.

Confidently he turned to the thin man. "You'll find everything you asked for has arrived, Tech.

Tech smiled, not a necessarily warm smile, but a smile.

"Thank you John" he answered as they shook hands "Unfortunately, I will not be paying you this time"

Johns face dropped "and why is that?" he asked rather threateningly, gradually moving his hand toward his gun.

Tech's expression grew grave. "John, please. Did you really think I wouldn't notice?"

John's heart rate increased significantly, but still he kept a straight face. "Know what?" he growled

Tech looked at him. "Stop me if I'm wrong, but right now there are thirty police vehicles now converging on this location, along with the F.B.I., the C.S.I. and at least three more federal organizations are a little hard to remember," He stepped closer, causing John to involuntarily take a step back, still Tech continued. "And each and every one of those vehicles are here for one reason..." he looked John dead in the eye, "Me."

John pulled his gun, stopping Tech in his Tracks, but John could tell that Tech was not scared, instead he had a look in his eyes, like he knew something that John didn't. "Stay right there." John warned

Suddenly there was a noise from outside, "COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS ON TOP OF YOUR HEAD!!! WE HAVE THE BUILDING SURROUNDED!!!" The officer yelled

"You're not getting out of this John" Tech said,

"What are you talking about?" John laughed "You're surrounded!"

But as soon as he said those words, he knew that something was wrong, because as soon as he spoke, as if on que, the shooting started.

Outside the building sounded like a warzone! Suddenly there was screaming and crashing, and...

"Help! Shoot it! Shoo-ACK" came the muffled screams from

"What the?" john let out,

Then everything stopped.

Nervously he looked at Tech. "What did you do?!" he yelled

Tech only looked at him, there was amusement in his eyes

"Give me the gun John" he smiled

Jon's grip tightened around the handle of the gun, his finger hovering over the trigger. Then his expression hardened.

"You're wanted for the murder three people dead or alive, and I'm not taking you alive!" he growled,

Tech saw his finger tighten, and he pulled the trigger.

BANG!

The bullet ripped through the air, heading straight for Techs heart, as soon as he pulled the trigger John knew that it was the perfect shot. Except for one thing.

FWOOSH!

Almost instantly there was an insanely powerful gust of wind that wacked john in the face causing him to stumble back, confused he looked up, Tech was still standing still, with a noticeable absence of a hole in his chest. Still smiling.

"What the-?" he started

CRACK!!

"AAAGGHHH!!!" John yelled as he was violently flung into the wall by something fast, and extremely powerful.

Tenderly he looked up at his attacker, but there wasn't one, it was as if he had just been hit with something that wasn't there.

Slowly Tech walked up "That was a mistake John"

WHOOSH!!

In that instant, Tech no longer stood alone, now standing beside, stood a figure, dressed in an all-black suit. His fingers ended in silver Blades, and if you looked at him just right, the figure almost seemed to be vibrating. John could hardly believe his eyes, one moment there was no one, the next, there was this thing. Terrified he looked at Tech, but he only smiled as he lifted up his watch, and spoke a command.

"Take him away"

"Wait!" John tried to plead, but it was too late. Suddenly his arms were grabbed by two cold metal hands, as two robots grabbed the small man "Please wait!"

But his pleas fell on deaf ears as he was dragged away.

--------------------------------------

Once they could no longer hear the annoying pleas of John, Tech turned to look at the figure.

"Thanks Son" Tech smiled, a much warmer smile than the one that he gave to John "I honestly don't know what I would do without you"

It laughed, and tiredly took off its mask to reveal its messy hair and green eyes.

"You, would be dead" Chase laughed

"I suppose you're right" Tech chuckled back as he turned to exit the building.

"But Chase!" Tech called as he got to the door of the building, "You're gonna have to clean this up you know"

"Yeah kinda figured that was coming" Chase muttered to himself as he slid his mask back onto his head. Then the entire warehouse filled with wind, as he started to clean away any evidence that he or his father had ever been there.
