Siren Songs and Cherry bombs

The Dictators end

It was finally the weekend. I was off of work and just chilling in my living room. I actually use the house as a house, not just for the base underneath the house.

Sketching to pass the time while I watched the news I just chilled on the couch. It was just some random news channel. I knew it was quite a popular channel but I didn't really care, just turning on the TV and watching whatever was there.

The channel was switched as an emergency broadcast started playing. The sudden switch made me look up at the TV, briefly looking away from my drawing.

[WARNING:Hero Fight in Area!]

The TV switched to show live footage of what was going on. As soon as the video started playing, Tommy's sketchbook was all but abandoned as he grabbed his backpack and bolted out of his house, not caring to lock the door behind him.

The video showed Jubilee fighting Dictator, a top ten Hero. Well, calling it fighting was a stretch, it was more of Dictator beating Jubilee's ass. Saying Tommy was pissed was an understatement. With a simple snap of his fingers his suit was spreading over his clothes, nano tech.

There was no one in the street to see him suit up, it also made him spark an explosion from his hand to boost him up to the rooftops easier.

"That stupid fucking here!" I snarled as I ran. Using one hand I grabbed my com and contacted my team.

"Watsup Cherry?" Leethe's voice came through the team channel .

"We're dealing with the number 4 hero. Now. He's been breathing for far too long, it's time that alcoholic prick kicks the bucket, get to the location I'm sending you. Cover me as I get someone out, then kill him, make it painful." giving them simple orders I hang up and speed up.

Finally reaching the area of the fight I launched myself off the roof with an explosion. Even though I usually only used my powers to make explosions my power was really energy manipulation.

"Dictator!" I yelled, tackling him to the ground, well the rooftop technically. Jubilee was barely conscious, lying against the opposite wall of the roof. He had a large wound in his abdomen, slowly bleeding out as he laid there. Blinking it was like my vision was switching in between what I was seeing and the exact same scene but slightly different. I couldn't focus on that now.

Turning back around to face the hero I could only see red. Launching myself forwards I used my energy to shove him towards me before punching him in the face. My energy-covered fist hitting his face caused him to fly back, crashing through the wall and landing on the other side of the roof.

"You are so dead Dictator!" I snarled, marching forwards and grabbing him up by the collar. Punching him again he flew across the alleyway and onto the next opposite rooftop. I heard the sound of Leethe teleporting and the sound of three more footsteps walking up behind me.

"He's all yours now. Make it painful." I spat out as I turned around and rushed over to the now passed out form of Jubilee. He lasted longer against Dictator thanks to his new gear. If he still had his old gear he would be dead by now.

Using my powers to help me pick him up I launched myself off the roof, heading the opposite from my house. Once we were far enough we dropped down into an alleyway and I called for Leethe. They knew the drill, got me far enough so I would't be seen, then Leethe would teleport me near my house. He didn't know where the house was but I always told him to teleport me there so they didn't need to ask me where to drop me off anymore.

In a flurry of purple particles, Leethe appeared. He grabbed my shoulder and we teleported to the deserted street. Leethe looked at me then to the blood covered form of Jubilee and he frowned.
