Off the Radar

Chapter 11: Sick Bay

Marcus

I stared at Void in disbelief. Fury, Peter, Sam and Dad were screaming at her.

I sat right next to Riley. "Oh what have you done to her?" I ran my hands through my hair. I was still in disbelief that she was injured to this extent. "Oh sis-"

"Sis?" Void asked. I looked around. "Who even are you all?"

"I really can't comprehend why you would go after her when im more prone to violence and crime" I smiled. "Hi im Marcus."

"She isn't dead calm down" Void said. "I don't understand why but she isn't dead."

"Then what happened?" I narrowed my eyes.

"My research said she was strong enough to push 4 cars"

"One, her arm is sprained, Two, BUILDINGS WEIGH MORE THAN FOUR GOD DAMN CARS, DUMB ASS" I yelled.

"The falling building was in defense, she was coming at me like a bull so I needed a distraction."

"120 Deaths from the crashing building" Fury said.

Void pulled up a holographic tablet. "29 of those deaths were due to the destruction caused by these four"

"Riley didn't cause any destruction....." Nova mumbled.

"Three of them aren't named yet, but Riley Marshal was among them. If 91 of those deaths were cause by me trying to put her down then bite me" She said ready to leave. Sam leaned on the door way locking her in.

"Riley didn't cause anyone. If I can recall. She was eating Ice cream." I clentched my fist. "And those 91 deaths aren't justified."

"We aren't done" Fury said.

"Yes we are!" She said ready to sock Sam. He grabbed her arm and pulled it to her back.

"You've studied Riley's moves and tricks. But not mine, so sit your ass down before I sit it for you" he said pushing her foreword.

She gave him a look. "Listen 'Void' the only people allowed to hold Riley in custody is us, now high tail your cybernetic butt back to Buffalo" Fury said

"My assignment was to watch Riley, if she does something illegal she gets certain warnings, each escalating to a higher point."

"But she wasn't doing anything illegal." Peter rolled his eyes.

I frowned. "Why do you get that authority?"

"I didn't give it to me."

"Who did?"

"The military, I have to prove I'm worthy to go on missions by myself"

"By killing your objective?" My dad said touching Riley's warm face.

"She isn't dead, she's breathing, and has a pulse, so shut it" She yelled.

"Poor baby, she was only 17" My dad gave a long sigh. Void stomped out and we watched as she flew away.

"Drama Queen" Peter rolled his eyes. I heard a bunch of feet running down the hallway. The panicked breath.

"Where is she?!" Some one yelled. Three people just ran past the door. "There!" A female ran towards me. She pulled me off my chair and sat next to Riley.
