V & V - Rageous Rageon Rise

Mayoral Threats

Veneer POV:

Dom pushes the Mayor back as we run for it. Two big security guards run my way as I get to the hallway. Fred tackles one of them, leaving me to fend for myself with the other.

Rollie: "Go!"

He shoves me forward and gets into a hold with the second security guard.

I grab Velv's hand and run with her to the door. I kick it open, secretly thanking Dom for having it frozen.

Ven: "Get to the truck, start it."

Velv: "I don't have the keys!"

Ven: "Ok, just get into the front seat."

I push her towards the truck and run back inside. I feel the Siren energy course through me; my hands start to glow as I see Rollie push back against the security guard.

I grab onto the security guard wrestling Rollie, hearing as he gasps at the feel of my steaming hands.

I throw him off Rollie, who pants heavily.

Rollie: "Thanks..."

I nod and turn my attention to Fred. The security guard he's against is close to his height, proving a hard wrestle for Fred.

I grab the secuguard's waist as Rollie gets his legs. We send him to the ground, his shirt sizzling as my hands grow hotter.

Security Guard 2: "Shit!"

He kicks away from me, and the first security guard runs up to him and pulls him away.

Security Guard 1: "We don't get paid enough to get fried!"

Security Guard 2: "Let's get outta here!"

They run away as I see Dom wrestling with the Mayor, whose burly size is seen to be a match against Dom.

Fred hands Rollie his keys, then runs with me to the office as Rollie runs to the truck.

Fred grabs the Mayor by his back, holding him upright so he's off Dom.

Dom's eyes glow brightly as he stares the Mayor down, his chest rising quickly from how upset he is.

Ven: "Dom! Leave him! We need to go! More security can be on their way!"

Dom: "He's going to frame us. We need to take him."

Fred: "That will just cause more problems! We swayed the public's opinion once; we can do it again."

Mayor: "You can't hurt me! My security guards will vouch for me! You hurt them! You won't be able to get out of this!"

The Mayor squirms, making me furious. I can see how bright my eyes are glowing, as the Mayor can't look at me.

Ven: "Dom. Let's go. We have enough information to get justice. If we hurt him... we'll have consequences."

Dom meets my eyes angrily. He walks out past me, freezing air walking with him.

Fred: "Go, Ven. I'm going to throw him down and run. You need to get in the bed if your hands can melt anything."

I nod, looking the Mayor up and down.

Ven: "Don't think this is the end. We're coming for you."

He scowls as I leave, his voice sputtering out insults as Fred tells him off. I get to the truck and see Dom in the bed. He has the same idea, as where he's sat, ice has formed around him.

I struggle to get in, finally putting my hands where he has left ice. It sizzles and cracks as it melts quickly, smoke plumes forming as I get in.

I sit across from him, my hands sooty from burning so hot. I watch as they cool down, the hot orange glow dimming.
