Multiversal Swarm

Protecting Sophia part 3

I woke up to the sound of a tv. I sat up on the bed and my body started to ache. I quickly observed the room to find nobody was here. I noticed that the tv was just a picture of a man in a suit with a gun. What I was hearing was voices from the next room over. As I listened closer I heard that man's voice from that room. I got up and looked for my shoes but I couldn't find them.

"Those shoes are wrecked. I got you new ones." Said a voice right behind me.

I jumped back and turned around but it was just that guy again. How'd he get in here without me seeing him? I noticed he had a pair of shoes with him... They weren't new either.

"Oh ok thank you" I said putting them on.

"I got someone I need you to meet. She going to be helping me get you to your dad." He said starting to walk towards the door.

"Why not?" He said stopping right as he held the doorknob. I didn't understand so I didn't say anything.

"Listen inf I've just about had it with that talk about the damn bleak street incident. It was one god-damned monkey. Let it go." He shook his head, looked at me... And made a scary face.

He opened the door and gestures for me to walk through it. So I did because I was actually really scared. When we walked out the door I saw the area I was last night. I could still see the footprints faintly in the moonlight.

"Hello Sophia." I turned my head to see a blonde woman in a black trenchcoat with long pink hair tied up in a pony tail. She had a suit on under it. She looked totally cool.

"Yeah I'm Sophia..."

"Well if it isn't the king and queen!" A voice cut me off.

I moved to look out over the railing and saw a man standing there with 5 other guys.

"You of all people shouldn't talk about prior relationships gozu! You fucking cheated on me!" The woman yelled out.

"Whos the king? Who's the queen?" I asked.

The man looked me and pointed to her and said.

"She's the Queen of America. It got signed into international law about three years ago. Shes also going to help me here."

"No way reaps. I'm taking Sophia and dipping out to the pre established point. You deal with these clowns. I don't fight my exes." She said grabbing my hand. She picked me up in her arms and we started to levitate into the air. Before I knew it I'd lost sight of him. He didn't stop staring at me as we left.

"Oh yeah? Well that can't be helped now I guess. At least I get to fry you, but I heard her call you "reaps" is that what I think it stands for? You definitely went by KING last time I saw you." Gozu said grinning ear to ear.

"Are these clowns who I think they are? You guys are all wearing matching clothes." The man let out a puff of smoke from his cigarette.

"Looks like you've got Speed freak, telecaster, meatgrinder, shadowmaster, and... Who the fuck are you?" He said climbing up onto the railing. A red smoke cloud covered his face as he did so.

"Oh his name's kentai. He don't speak much on the account of being kinda slow. He's still stronger than you." They all readied themselves

The air was thick with murderous intent. The man stayed crouched on the railing letting his cigarette smoke flow into the now ice cold air.

"I'll answer your question though... You're half right gozu. I was called king because I was fucking the queen. But make no mistake. Since that day in the Rocky's... After what you did... My name is and will always be "The Reaper""
