Grayson:The Ronin Protocol

Chapter 31:Dead To Rights Pt 3

Several hours later In Jason's dorm room, he gets waken up by Hiro he sleepily says What's it?. Hiro excitedly says dude wake up seriously as he shakes Jay awake, Jason rolls out of bed and stares at Hiro with an annoyed expression on his face and in his eyes. Hiro said The Red Wolf was in my shop last night man he had these abilities he phased through my shop wall and we talked about me making him a suit like an actual superhero suit. Jason said That's impossible no way I don't believe you, Hiro said look at this as he types on his S-beads and displays a holographic video of Him and The Red Wolf talking last night. Jason said curiously said so what's he like?, Hiro said you tell me JR you're a friend of his and didn't say anything!! I have so many questions.

Jason said what happened to your arm? he asked me not to say anything about it. I was just respecting his wishes I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner man so what'd you two talk about?, Hiro said the red wolf broke my arm we talked about my home life and me making him a better suit I still can't believe it actually happened and to me of all people!. Jason said hoss you might want to keep that on the low just so any enemies that the red wolf has doesn't come after you to get to him. Hiro said oh dude I definitely will not tell a single soul about this except you, you seem very trustworthy speaking of trusting can I trust you with something?. Jason said yeah lay it on me what's up hoss?, Hiro pulls a Titan comic book out of his backpack and hands it to Jay. It reads Issue #134 Titan Vs Captain devastation and displays Clark fighting a man wearing a green armored suit. He says My dad is serving life in Rykers for murdering thousands of people in a fight with the Superhero Titan. You know who he is? He's a founding member of the Justice Corps anyway my dad's a supervillain his code name was Captain Devastation. And I don't know how that's even possible but it is I haven't seen my father since I was 8 years old,  Jason how can my dad be a fictional character and a real person at the same time?.

Jason said I think your brain made him a character in the comics to disassociate from his crimes then again I'm not a psychiatrist Can I help you out with this project you're making for The Wolf?. I know my way around a plasma torch and Circuit boards, Hiro said I definitely could use an extra pair of hands to make the suit let's look at the designs he gave me. As Hiro pulls out the data cube and activates it A hologram of a dark burgundy red /navy blue paneled armored suit W/dark yellow accents running up and down the back and legs of the suit. Displays itself in front of the two young men A wolf shaped emblem sits on the upper left pectoral of the chest. Along with a red wolf shaped headpiece on its head W/dark burgundy photographic lenses in its eye sockets and wolf ears sit atop its head, Jason and Hiro simultaneously said So Shiv!. Hiro said I already have so many improvements, it's based off an invention that Drew and I made we made a type of body armor to replace the turnouts that Police Officers wear. But we didn't make it to the testing phase yet it was a project that Dr Wells green lit, I stopped working on it when your brother died. How did he get his hands on it? Did you give it to him?,

The door bursts open as Detective Jim Macaroni enters the room with swat officers Jim says Jason Bartholomew Riley you're under arrest for the assault on Lana Haka and Shane Pope and being a vigilante put your hands behind your back. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law you've the right to an attorney. If you can't afford one, one will be appointed to you do you understand your rights? As Jim slaps handcuffs on Jason's wrists, Jason said Hiro call my lawyer her name is Billie Reese call her please, Jim said I told you that I'd get you you son of a bitch get him the fuck out of here.

At Precinct 22 Jason sits across from Jim, Jim said just like old times eh Riley, I told you when we met that the NYPD had more resources than the red wolf. We've your DNA at several different crime scenes and we analyzed the blood on Lana Haka's weapon it matches you, And we have new evidence that will put you away for a long time. Nothing to say no smart ass comment I told you that I'd find the truth, Jason said I told you before that I'm not the red wolf detective I'm maintaining my innocence. Jim said you're not innocent you never have been I think you are using your castaway status as a cover, to keep people from getting close enough to your secret. Jason said yeah cause a scrawny 15 year old boy can beat up someone let alone violent killers you're wrong detective. Jim said If you had training you could, I know your parents had a martial arts school and you attended that school. It's pretty easy to do the math the red wolf popped up right around the time you returned home from wherever you were. You're looking a little bit jacked for a scrawny 15 year old

We're going to give you a polygraph and, the room door opens as Billie Reese: A tall pretty muscular Quadrian woman W/long flowing black hair, dark yellow eyes, cherry red skin and 4 humanoid muscular arms wearing a black and white dress and black heels holding a briefcase. She said like hell you will Jason don't say another word as she sits down next to Jason. She curiously said Why'd you arrest my client? detective he's done nothing wrong, Jim said your client is the vigilante known as the red wolf and I've proof that he's a criminal counselor. As he shows Billie a lab report it reads Blood analysis conducted blood on weapon is a 100% match to Jason B Riley. Billie said how did my clients blood get on the weapon? As she stares at Jason with curiosity and worry in her eyes, Jim said A few weeks ago The red wolf brought me a criminal by the name of Lana Haka she's an international criminal convicted of a dozen crimes long and behold I had our head CSI conduct a analysis test on the weapon and it came back as a match to your client. I was shocked but not surprised at all, I have a polygraph I just want to ask your client some questions about his activities.

Billie said it's his decision I advise against it Jason. I'd like a moment to talk with my client detective, Jason said Billie I've nothing to hide I'm tired of being harassed by the police because I'm a grieving child who lost his parents hook me up to the damn polygraph. Jim snaps his fingers at the one way glass behind his chair, A man wearing a lab coat enters the room and straps cables to Jason's left arm as he nods at Jim before sitting down beside him . Jim clears his throat as he types on his S-beads he curiously says Is your name Jason Bartholomew Riley?, Jason said Yes it is, Jim looks over at the proctor who nods his head yes at him. Jim said were you born on January 15th 2051? Jason said yes, The proctor nods his head yes at Jim once again,

Jim curiously said are you the person in this sketch? As he displays A sketch of the Red Wolf in front of Everyone. Jason said No I'm not I'm not the red wolf, the proctor nods his head yes at Jim, Jim grits his teeth and says Okay here's something that I don't think you can deny. As he types on his S-beads and displays security footage of Jason at The ritz party in the stairwell grabbing his balaclava out of the trash can. Jim curiously said Is that you in this video? What're you grabbing out of the trash can?, as he knowingly stares at Jason with determination in his eyes. Jason said yes it's me I was grabbing a gas mask I saw so I could go look for any survivors of the attack, some nut job in an armored suit tried to kill my grandmother and you're here questioning me again about being some fuckin' vigilante!!. Billie said that's enough detective! You're not harassing my client anymore we're done here let's go Jason as she unhooks him from the polygraph machine. I will talk to your captain and file a cease and desist order for you to leave my client the hell alone. He's a child not some murderous vigilante, Jason said I just want to be left alone for a while as he runs out of the room. Jim said let me go talk to him, Billie said you've done enough damage for one day detective as she runs out of the room after Jason.

In the men's bathroom Jason stares at himself in the mirror. He sees Jim enter the room and says look kid I'm sorry I'm not the bad guy I'm just trying to do my job, I don't know why the evidence points towards you but it does and I don't think it's a coincidence. Here's something else you can't deny Axel Goodspeed , Jacob Blake, Andrew Beckett, Wally West, John Rush, and Jack Grayson all aliases we found in your bedroom at your childhood home. What does a 15 year old kid need aliases for? As he stares at Jason with curiosity and determination in his eyes, Jason said they're for if my foster father gets released from prison and ever finds me. An unknown man wearing a white jumpsuit enters the room holding a dart gun, he walks towards Jason, Jim unholsters his gun he said don't move asshole as his targeting grid locks onto the man's chest. Jim gets hit in his chest by the man sending him smashing through a urinal knocking him out cold and sending his gun sliding across the floor stopping next to a stall. The Man punches at Jason, Jason blocks his punch with his forearm and spin kicks him in the face then throws several jabs at him hitting him in his face, chest and stomach. They trade blows and discover that they're both equally matched as they both breathe heavily as fatigue grips their muscles and nerves.

John Doe strongly punches Jason in the chest 3 times then swiftly kicks him in his stomach dropping him to his knees, John stabs Jason in the neck with a syringe full of sky blue liquid then injects it into his system he said you're good but I'm better Hello again Jason as he punches him in the face knocking him out cold.
