Retaliation | Spies Protectors Book II

Chapter Twenty Six

Unknown Impulse
Ace Hunter

What was I?

I was torn apart, and tortured, treated like a less then a man, a machine.

I needed some air, all of this was far too intense, the Spies have returned to the Lab for the time being, while we know its not entirely safe John estimates that if his father is going to plan a assault on them, it won't be for a few more days at least, by then we will be long gone.

Tyler placed a fresh set of armour on me, this set is actually a weaker version of the armour I had before, this set being a plastic covering for my wires and weapons, before it was pure titanium it turns out that he never thought to make a back up set should something happen to my plating.

Tyler is currently molding and fitting a new set of plating for me, which is supposed to have some new modifications and upgrades of some kind.

I just couldn't take it, with Andrew training to control his core, Tyler working on the armour, Izzy checking up on Kara and Betty and John talking about there past, I just needed to go for a walk, I grabbed my black hoodie and wore the hood over my face to hide it.

I found myself walking down a bad part of Guardpost, it was cold and the night air surrounded me. Oh how times have changed since I lived in my home village outside of Guardpost. This city was only a dream to me as a child, how something this big and powerful could exist was insane to me. 

I walked past a alley which was setup as a campsite for the homeless, there was probably a few dozens bums here. They were all drunk, some had there hands and body huddled around the barrel fire. While I spotted two of them arguing and wrestling over something stolen.

"Hey you!"  one of the homeless men shouted from the fire barrel.

I stopped and turned towards the homeless man. 

I saw the group of homeless men's faces turn to fear and disgust.

"Your that robot guy!" One of them shouted pointing at me.

The two who were fighting, stopped and turned to look over at me.

"Have a goodnight folks" I spoke turning away and continuing to walk down the sidewalk. One of the homeless men came running out from the alley and threw a tomato in my direction. I saw it coming however, and dodged.

I turned back towards the homeless man, he pointed a finger at me.

"You think your better then us or something?" He shouted, a few of his friends came out from the alley holding various make shift weapons. 

"You aren't even human you piece of filth!" a woman shouted.

"You want to talk to me about filth-" I shouted but shut myself up, what was I doing? These were people of Guardpost, they were drunk and had no idea what they were talking about. I wasn't about to beat the shit out of them just because they are making fun of me.

"You call yourself a hero, all you are is a invention!"

I felt the insult stab me in the chest, what were they talking about? They had no idea what they were talking about. I was unable to move, I wanted to rip there spines out of there head but I used every inch of my power to keep my rage down. 

"Trashcan"

"waste of space"

"Monster!"

I took a tomato to the face, and wiped it off. The last one was truth, I wasn't human anymore, I was like Frankenstein's monster taken apart and put back together.
