Chapter 02

- In the morning -

I was still asleep on the cold ground, I felt the sun's rays hitting my face, making me wake up.

Being half awake, I heard voices near me, I opened my eyes a little more and saw people whispering things in front of me.

- "Are you all right, little one?" - He said kindly, but eventually, I became wary of people with that tone of voice.

- "I'm fine, thank you," - I said dryly and got up from the ground, then started to walk out of the alley to get out of there. I don't want to be with other people, it still hurts. When I turned the corner, I saw a lot of people walking back and forth, minding their own business. I continued on my way normally, looking for something to do.

~ What are you going to do? ~

- "I'm going to look for something I can use to get out of the city."

~ Getting out of the city will be difficult. A flight on a plane would be enough. But I don't think you have a passport. ~

- "We'll go and steal a phone. Then I'll know where to go"

I went to the nearest electronics shop and walked in normally. I looked from phone to phone, seeing which one looked good to me. In the end, I decided to go for a Samsung, Grid slyly reached out a limb to the phone I wanted and grabbed it in a distraction from a clerk. We went out the back door and met Carlton's men.

We hid, so he wouldn't see us, and he didn't: they got out of there when they didn't find us or that reporter. I don't care. As long as they chase someone else, it's better for us.

We got out of there and went on our way, I still feel like I'm alone in this world. I don't know if I care to go on living, I don't know what I feel anymore. I feel... empty. Furthermore, I came across an advertisement showing Stark Tower, 4 years ago Tony Stark confessed that he was Iron Man. I was surprised that time, but then I thought it was to be expected from a billionaire, Playboy and I don't know what else like him.

There are a lot of things I've missed.

I feel like I'm being slammed against an alley wall, I was so focused on my thoughts that even Grid didn't react in time.

- "What are you doing out here all alone, did you get lost?" - Said a guy in a hoodie, in a mocking tone. We're not going to be intimidated by this idiot.

- "I wouldn't do that if I were you," - I say, showing no fear of him. But he just laughs.

- "Don't be brave, girl."

- "Stay away," - We said in unison, at the same time as Grid pulled out two of his limbs and strangled the guy. We lifted him off the ground a bit and brought him close to our faces.

- "What... the hell... are... you...?" - He said as best he could in fear.

- "YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE" - Immediately, my head was covered by Grid, and he opened his mouth to eat his head. He already needed something to eat. We dropped the corpse, making a pool of blood.

- "Do you feel better?" - I said, now that I was back to normal.

- "That calms my hunger."

- "Then we can go... I know. We'll go after any criminal that comes our way and kill it. And you can eat a limb of the criminals we kill," - I said the last, looking at Grid with a knowing look. To which he grins mischievously. It's done. We'll be a kind of Anti-hero.

- 1 week later -

- Writer -

- 4000 corpses of criminals have been found this week -

- Some of them had no arms, legs, or heads. -

- In the autopsies, teeth marks were visible. Which means that the limbs were torn off by an animal. -

- A security camera was able to witness the moment when a criminal was killed by a kind of big red lizard. The images are very strong. Adult discretion is recommended for minors. -

- It has not been possible to identify what the lizard was. But it is not the only one -

- A humanoid, black with white, has also been involved in the murders of criminals -

- If you see these two beings, please get away as soon as possible, and contact the police immediately. -

The news kept talking about the beings who only killed criminals, and this reached the ears of both the Life Foundation... and someone with an eyepatch.

- " 'Humanoids murdering criminals.' You don't see that every day," - He read the headline of a newspaper displayed on a screen.

- "One is black with white, full white eyes and not so big teeth. The other is scarier: it's red with fluorescent green and looks a bit like a lizard. It's the one that started it all" - Said a woman showing pictures of the described beings. The one with the patch was more interested in the lizard-like one.

- "Do you happen to know who that is?" - He said, pointing to the four-legged symbiote.

- "No, but some recordings show it to be a girl of approximately 13 to 14 years of age. In a blood sample that was saved, it is revealed that she was a girl who disappeared four years ago."

- "We have to look for her," - He said firmly, but the woman didn't like the idea.

- "Fury, she might kill them..."

- "Agent Hill, just look for her. If you find her, let me know, so I can alert the others of the situation."

- "Yes sir" - Hill steps back, the one with an eyepatch just turns to look at the windows.

- With Blake -

Blake was planning to take a flight, which, oddly enough, was going to New York.

- "In New York we can be hidden, Life Foundation already knows that two guests with symbiotes are still in the city. We have a flight leaving in an hour."

- "But you don't have a passport."

- "I didn't say we had to enter through the front door," - She said with a knowing smile, the crimson one soon realized what she meant. - "If we hurry, we'll be there in 40 minutes," - She said and started running in the direction of the airport. Unaware that they were being watched.

- "Sir, we found the girl."

- 39 minutes later -

Blake was transformed, running on all fours, escaping from the vans of Carlton's men.

'THE JOKE IS THAT WE CAN'T BE QUIET'.

- "Let's lose them," - She said and started to climb a building, and on the rooftop he started to run, jumping from building to building. A few kilometers away they could see the airport, so they hurried there, losing sight of the Life Foundation vans.

- "ALMOST..." - He took one last leap, landing on the roof of the airport.

Grid de-transforms and Blake starts to look for the plane that would take them to New York. But she was interrupted by a strong current behind her, she turned and saw a helicopter filming her. She quickly covered her face and started to run in the direction of the plane, being followed by the helicopter.

- "This is a live feed of the person who has been involved in the murders of the criminals. She is at the airport, she plans to leave" - Was what Blake heard as she ran, she saw a large object, ideal for hiding and throwing the helicopter off, she ran and then hid. She saw the helicopter pass close to her, but she was not seen. Blake and Grid sneaked down and achieved their objective.

Objective: Get on a flight to New York.

- "I thought we weren't going to make it..."

- "Me too." - Blake looked for a place to stay while they flew to New York, found it, and lay down to close his eyes and rest.

- With Fury and the others -

- "Gentlemen, there is news" - Announced Fury, people were sitting around a glass table.

- "What's the news?" - A red-haired woman asked curiously.

- "I suppose some of you have heard about the events in San Francisco, haven't you?"

- "It's turning into a massacre over there," - Said a person who hardly takes things seriously.

- "Tony," - Said a blond-haired man in a reproachful tone.

- "What? It's the truth" - Tony defended himself.

- "Two humanoid beings are the ones who have been in charge of murdering criminals all week. A total of 4,000 bodies were found." - The woman, who was drinking water, almost choked when she heard the number of bodies.

- "Are you all right, Nat?" - Asked the blond.

- "Yes, Steve... 4,000 bodies in a week? That's a lot."

- "One is black with completely white eyes and the other is red with phosphorescent green with a reptilian look. He's the one who started this murder thing. But now it is known to be a girl who disappeared four years ago. She must be around 14 or 15 years old now."

- "A teenager is capable of killing 4,000 criminals in a week?" - Asks Steve.

- "Didn't you hear right? I can say it again if old age is getting to you," - Said Tony.

- "TONY" - Called Nat, starting to get annoyed by the billionaire's immature attitude.

- "What bitter people you are. It's affecting you guys to be with the human popsicle."

- "This is serious, Stark," - Said Steve.

- "As I was saying, for a teenager, she knows what she's doing. She's more of an anti-hero, though. She kills them in the cruelest way possible. Furthermore, she was recently seen in an airport in San Francisco, it is not known what flight she took..."

- "Wait, took? She's on a plane right now?" - Nat asks.

- "She was very agile at not being seen. But you could tell she was on a flight to New York."

- "Why would she come here?" - Steve asks again.

- "The most obvious thing would be to hide," - Said Tony.

- "She has great potential. So Captain..." - The mentioned one pays attention to him - "You will go look for her" - Steve sighed without saying anything.

- "Try to bring her back alive, if she doesn't kill you first."

- "That's enough Stark" - He gets up and leaves the room.

- "It's a girl. She must be frightened by what's happening to her" - Nat murmurs seriously.
