A Crumbling Society

Part 3-21

Mega cut her breath at him for being arrogant, Stargazer looked at me, but I didn't really keep eye contact. Fire-Soul remained in place, Hummingbird, and Screamer both made their ways over to us. "I'm new to this but I can see you meant what you said", Hummingbird told me. Zapper, Deadgirl, two girls from The Devil's Advocates, Spiderweb, Intradepth, Kelvin 3, and Nix Gravity all eventually made their way over. Slightly looking over at Vortex she had no emotion, it was hard to tell if she was conflicted or in agreement with Phaser. She didn't dare to look at me, and I returned my eyes to the floor. It was only out of pure curiosity considering the previous argument, and I don't feel like she owes me anything either, I just wanted to look at her. Everyone else remained fixed on the side they were choosing, no one else moved, it was the few over here versus the many that stood opposite of us. There was a long pause until I interrupted it, I didn't really want there to be a feud right after getting most everyone back. Looking at the heroes beside me, "Thank you, it means a lot that you would stand with me. I'll just do everyone a favor and leave; this wasn't all for nothing I promise. I've known from the start that I wasn't meant to be here, or a part of the outcome. My visions never showed me where I ended up like they normally do, the world needs you guys. You shouldn't be divided on something so ridiculous when there's no time to be wasted, I expressed. The purpose I feel that I am to serve is getting rid of The Society, after that I don't think I'll be in the picture." Speaking to the members of the Omega Legion, "Thank you guys", I said, taking the time to acknowledge them individually. Hummingbird was crying and Fire-Soul had already finished wiping her eyes. Stargazer looked distraught and Screamer wasn't sure what to do.

"Are you sure?", Mega took the spotlight

"I'm sure, this is dumb and he's not going to care, and you guys need to be strong, not torn up about trusting me. If they don't, then nobody will follow anyone into a battle that needs to be had."

"I agree", she said.

"Look", I started while looking at the time from across the way, "you've got three hours". She gave me a look asking what that means, "In three hours the president, who's actually Impersona will corral the citizens that don't support them into the city. From here, she's going to have the villains kill them so that only her true followers will be left. Then there will be no one to go against her, Impersona will have total control and all the power in the union. Once this happens, she'll take the world and it will fall, you guys are the last chance."

Mega's face widened in realization as to why we found them and brought them here. Looking at me up and down, "and he wants to get rid of you?", she dug at Phaser without him knowing. "We're going to need all the help we can get", she stated, and I sort of shrugged it off. I think, well, feel at this point that it isn't my choice anymore, even though I decided to leave I was still voted out.

"I know I said that there was no purpose for me to be here, for whatever plan you guys come up with. And that I didn't see myself in this situation, my main goal was to kill the villains so that she still had no insurance policy. If her puppets get taken out, then she can't enforce her own laws and kill anyone that breaks them. Revenge is an interesting thing to call it, but I see it as giving them what they deserve."

She raised an eyebrow with understanding, "I can follow that mindset", she told me. "What are you going to do?", asking me out of curiosity.

"I'm going to leave for now, I'll definitely be back to do what I said I was going to. It's just best that I am not here since most of them don't want me here anyway."

"I understand, but I want you to know, thank you, for getting me out. It was tough being trapped in a confined space for that long not knowing if I was going to live or die. I know you made the call to open my cell, no matter how hard the job may be or the choice, something always has to be done. You made the right one", she eased the negativity in the room.
