Chapter 12

9:00pm
Mike, and the gang; Step out of a limo at Ikero's opening party. Mike in a full black 3piece tuxedo and an orange tie. Jason in a bague, long-sleeved turtle neck under a black blazer. Brandon a black and white checkered dress shirt and a pair of blue checkered pants. Summer in an above the knee sky blue dress. Allis a tight red and jade a bright yellow top under a blazer and a matching pair of pants.

Mike walking puts on Olive's glasses. Summer seeing this, smiles and grabs his hand, Jade grabs Jason's hand, and Brandon grabs Allison's.

Later, Ikero steps out on stage being applauded by all the parties occupants. "Thank you for all coming here tonight, ladies and gentlemen,  I don't know who I'd be if I didn't hold a party for the new and improved Ikero inc. Headquarters," he says resulting in the audience applauding him. "Ladies and gentlemen, please, I just want you to enjoy yourselves tonight". He says walking off the stage. 

Mike sees him going into his VIP booth where a bunch of lovely ladies waits for him, laughing obviously drunk. 

Talking with Jade and Summer, Allis sees a writer walking towards her with a full tray of champagne in glasses; he offers one to her but she just takes the whole tray saying "those look barmmer, I'll take em off ya hands dear". In a Scottish accent. She turns around hearing jade say thanks as she takes a glass. "Yeah, Those were defiantly for you".

After a few drinks, a security guard walks over to them and tells Allis "my boss would like to see you". She looks over at where Ikero is and sees that he's sitting by himself, she sends the message to her friends and they go together to the booth. They all got around the table "what do you want with us, Mr. Ikero"? Jade asks then looks at Mike seeing him trying to ignore what's happening to look out at the party. Ikero clothes the curtains with a pull of a string, but Mike keeps his back turned to him and starts fidgeting with his watch he makes it seem.

"Good you know who I am. He says cackling I mean who doesn't people in this city treats me like the second coming of Jesus, but I think you know I know who you are". He says menacingly.

They all go silent and Ikero says maybe "I should jog some memory? Star boy". He says to Mike suddenly Ikero is a completely different person from who he was on stage.

Mike gets up and walks out then Summer follows after him, he walks in on him in the bathroom punching the wall shouting at Toshio "why won't the fucking watch work". Blood starts dripping from his knuckles 

"I won't let you hurt yourself and your friends or worse". Toshio argues with him

"How am I gonna do that"? Mike asks

"Neither you nor I know what you're able to do. Plus he knows what we took from his servers and why. He probably wants you to do this"

"I, l didn't think of that". Mike says

"Listen I gave you this thinking you were responsible, I thought you'd think before you do, I thought you could do that, " Toshio says because wi--".

"With great power comes great responsibility". Summer chimes in, we're teen but spider-man became a hero when he was fifteen and he had the sinister six on his back all day every day yet he still became one of the greatest heroes of his time".

"But I'm not a hero". Mike tells her

"Mike, you have no choice, we have no choice because any mistake you make we are gonna be held accountable, especially us cus the judicial government isn't very fond of enhanced beings, they don't even consider us human and Ikero no matter what has them on his side". She tells him.

"I need some fresh air he says". Stressed and pinching his brows.

He walks out of the bathroom to be by himself when he sees a familiar face "do I know that guy"? he asks himself looking at a security guard standing in the corner of the room. He walks over to him and says to him "you look familiar do know you from somewhere"? 

"The security guard answers yeah I'm Garret I used to work for your dad". He says taking off his cap revealing a head of curly red hair.

"Oh you said one time you wanted to be a detective, Now you work for Ikero". Mike says

"Yeah". Garret says

"I want your help with a thing, let's exchange numbers".

"No, I'm not looking for work right now".

"I need u to investigate something for men about Ikero, you're the only man for the job".

Meanwhile in ikero's booth, "you see that girl that just ran out of the room, that's her sister u sick bastard".

"I am a bastard my mom killed herself after my dad was killed by Reo Kabuto".

"Mike's dad but how that's impossible"?

"It was a hit, and then you steal from me' that was the straw that broke the camel's back".

"She had nothing to do with this".

"You think I wanted her to suffer, welcome to the real worl-- before he could finish he instantly faces the scaling as his pupils shrink to the size of a needle at tears start falling down his face, he regains consciousness but he looks scared, of himself, "he's coming and wants you all dead". He says in a childish manner

Realizing it's a totally different person Jade asks "who's coming"?

"Ira". He answers

"Who's"? Ira Jason asks.

He faces the scaling again and recovers "saying sorry about that guys, you enjoying the party". As Mike tells them to trough his U.M. "it's time to go, I got what we came here for".

Later in the darkness of the night, the gang sits on a beach with the city lights behind them.

"What'd u get"? summer asks Mike

"An idiot security guard working for Ikero, we're gonna talk tomorrow, im gonna see what I can get out of him". Mike says.

"What a day". Brandon says with Allis laying drunk in his arms as they look at the sea.

Mike breaks the silence saying "guys im sorry, I almost got us in trouble or worse, thanks to Summer being there to talk me out of it".

"It's okay," Summer says wrapping her arms around him from behind " we'll be there next time to smack you upside the head next the time you try something like that".
