time jumpers

chapter 7 Fooled Around And Fell In Love

The FBI agent then orders the time jumpers to get down on the ground and put their hands behind their heads. Jack whispers to the group "we need to do something, this is bad". Suddenly, Violet stands up and yells "You can't do this! We are not criminals!" The FBI agent stares at her with a shocked expression. Ajax quickly follows up and says " what are you doing Violet" MC looks confused but looks at Ajax and Ajax looks at him and pulls his gun he had hidden away out and says " see we are not criminals but we sure know how to act like some so how about you get your boss man mister Richard over here and let us talk to him " he says Ruthlessly to the agent the Paradox over hears this and goes over

" you know if you wanted me that bad you coulda have shouted my name I'm not deaf you know " he explains Ajax points this gun at him and says in a deep voice " Richard" Richard with his eyes glowing red replies "ajax long time no seen " ajax replies didn't you have another person with you a skinny dude with that's stupid hair cut blaze that's his name " Richard laughs and replies" I killed him "

A wave of shock and disbelief swept over the group as they heard Richard's cold admission. Ajax tightened his grip on the gun as he pointed it towards Richard, his voice shaking with fury. "You killed him? So you're the one responsible for all this?"

Violet stepped forward and shouted, "You can't get away with this! You're going to pay for what you've done!"

The FBI agent stepped back, looking between the two groups with confusion. He suddenly realized the situation he had gotten himself into and took out his radio, calling for back up.

FBI agent said " Richard maybe I shouldn't be working with you I'm getting my back up in here right now because you need to pay for you're actions"

Richard eyes now again turned red

Richard laughs and teleports out of the bar leaving the group of time jumpers behind. They watched him disappear and then looked at each other, not sure what to do next. That's when Jack stepped forward and said, "We're getting out of here. Now." Ajax and the rest of the group quickly rushed out of the bar and made their way back home.

Once the group was away from the FBI agent, they discussed what they had just witnessed and what it meant. They all agreed that they needed to find out more about Richard and stop him from hurting anyone else. In the truck Jack took the lead and said,"We can't let him get away with this. We'll need to investigate what he's up to MC speaks up " no we ain't capable of fighting him we are just five Humans" mc says to jack jack shouts at MC

" you know maybe we are just five Humans but we are five Humans with a passion for what we are fighting for five Humans with a reason to fight MC wasn't this all your plan anyways let's all escape prison right let's all be on the run from the cops right they can't help us the FBI don't give a shit about us we only have eachother in this fight MC and I don't even know if you care you're more soulless then Richard and that's sad man you said you're doing this for all us then prove it because right now it seems you're just doing it because you was too much of a pussy to fight for you're wife love while she was still here if you was a man you would fought off them FBI agents and blaze but you stood there and let it happen and now 2 years later you really wanna do something about it well I'm sorry MC my wife is being forced to be in a relationship with this monster and I don't give a fuck about having no powers or no suits I'm fighting this battle because I'm not letting Deliah die because I know you're jealous of me MC I have the life you want a wife a kid and there both still a alive so if you don't mind I'll be going and seeing them how and if Richard is there I'll stop him myself" jack says in rage.

MC looked at Jack with shock. He had never heard him talk like this before

MC shouts at jack " don't you ever say her name again jack do you understand do you Fucking understand "

Jack looks at MC and walks off

The group stood in silence, overwhelmed by the tension between Jack and MC. Ajax was the first to break the silence.

"Alright, enough of this. We can't let our emotions get in the way of what needs to be done. We need to focus on the task at hand. We have to make these suits man 5 suits one for all of our abilities so MC your the leader and the one that keeps us all together so you suit should have-" MC cuts him off and says MC" I know a guy he used to help Lucy with her projects he can probably make us a great suit and put some tech in it and have be strong enough for it to be able to beat Richard so let's go find him his name was Manny very nice guy you'll love him" mc says

Meanwhile jack drives the truck to his wife's house

He knocks on the door and Hendrix opens the door and says " dad you're here" he says jack replies " yeah son I'm here where is you're mum" Hendrix looked up at his father with sad eyes. "Mom is with Richard. He's been coming by and taking over this family like he is out farther I played his game but I love you dad but he is in the kitchen with her " jack looks pissed off and storms into the kitchen

Jack marched into the kitchen, pulling a gun he has stored in his coat out of it and pointing it at Richard. Richard smirked, his eyes glowing red. "What are you going to do, Jack? Shoot me?"

Jack's anger boiled over, and he shouted, "You killed innocent people, and now you're trying to take my family away from me?! I'm not going to let you get away with this!"

Richard raised his hands in surrender. "I just want what I deserve. What I should have I know I did horrible things jack , but I'm not asking for your forgiveness. I just want your help in getting what I want." Richard said

Jack replies " what is that Richard what do you want what will make yous stop this"

Richard gets up and says "well when I was a younger boy in my 20s I Fooled Around And Fell In Love just like you jack with a girl called Selena I loved her but she saw my ways of how I dealt with things when times got tough I had to cut off some people in my company and by that I mean kill off some people Ajax you and ash and violet were lucky enough to escape or you would been like my dear Selena's best friend Michael he got a interview for the FBI and it went well he into the business and told Selena about the real me she didn't believe me at first but see walked in me and him fighting and we broke up so I killed him for the love I had for her jack you wouldn't kill for love? And while this was happening the United States president was looking to take me in for a new role I was about to be his one and only person to make tech but you know who got that job instead this dude called Manny so what I want is revenge on the United States president and become the president jack so you need to help " Richard explains

Jack looks disgusted

Jack shook his head in disbelief. "You're asking me to help you take down the President of the United States? Are you serious?"

Richard " I knew you be too much of a bitch to do this job " shouts Richard

Jack " oh I wasn't helping you either way I just needed some time so my wife could do this " Deliah would pick up the gun and shoot Richard in the chest Richard falls to the ground in the kitchen Deliah and jack go to the living room jack says to Deliah that they need to leave Texas he says " it isn't safe at all here we need to leave you always wanted to go to New York no? Well we can go Hendrix you can take up music I can take up a great job there" he explains Deliah kisses her husband and says "ok babe we will go right now but first I want to play out wedding song on the vinyl.

Deliah plays Fooled Around And Fell In Love by Elvin Bishop on the vinyl

Jack looks at deliah and starts tearing up

As Deliah and jack share this moment a voice is heard from the distance and says "what a great moment sadly all love does is stab you in the back " it's Richard who is in fully powered paradox mode he walks behind jack and Deliah and says "like I said all love does is stab you in the back ain't that right Deliah because you know Selena very well considering she is your sister" the paradox would shoot a beam blast at Deliah sending her through the wall that connects the kitchen to the living room jack would stand up and say let's finish this Richard just us. Jack shouts at Hendrix and tells him to run out of the house and just go far away from here
