"I think you scared him off," said Bedlam as Hooligan looked into the building from the hole he had just made.

"Sadly i think you might be right," replied Hooligan.

Lead heard no reply, and continued through the half collapsed building. He then came across a dead man with a gunshot wound in his head.

'Shit' he thought.

"Come out immediately!" he said, "I'm authorized to use lethal force!"

He then found another dead man, this one having been crushed by debris.

 

Hooligan sighed, "great now i have to deal with these guys." Hooligan jumped down to meet the officer and gave a smile, "look i know why your here and i'm sorry about the mess but i'm on official business," said Hooligan as he pulled out an official looking document from his bag, "I've been sent after a rogue psycic by the GAUP, that stands for Government Against Unregistered Psycics. So why don't you just stay out of my way sweet cheeks."

Lead was taken aback for a second by Hooligan's burned face. "Hold on a second. I'm an investigator working with the anti psychic police force. I'm gonna need to see that document, and I'll need your rank and identification."

 

Lead raised his weapon slightly, and wasn't going to take any risks with this mysterious character.

Blitz narrowed his eyes as he studied Holligan. "I'll probably have to remember his face. As for the organization, it definetly raises some alarms." He thought, before glancing at Lead. "As for your question, detective, I am the only one here because of my capabilities."

"My word you are foward aren't you?" Hooligan said with a grin. He turned to a halucenation of Bedlam, (Only seen by him) "see Bedlam flaterry always works."

"Yeah but i though you were into women." replied Bedlam.

"You know I'm mad right? I can't be expected to always keep track of which team i'm batting for." He turned back to the investigator, "My name is Hooligan and you can't have my rank, cause I don't have one. But you can have my number." Hooligan pulled out a pen and worte his number, as well as a heart with the words call me, on the documentation. "Here you go hotstuff," he said with a wink as he handed the investigator the document.

On the top floor of one of the tallest skyscrapers in Metropolis a board meeting was taking place. The top executives of Qaz Industries were gathered around a large rectangular table, their faces turned towards a ten year old kid sitting at the foot of the table, each wearing a sympathetic smile, some of the smiles more genuine then others. The child stared back at them with dull, emotionless eyes and a blank expression. There was a tense silence, no one really wanting to be the first to talk.

 

Finally, a young female executive with a motherly air about her broke the silence. "Qaz... Do you know why we called this meeting?"

 

The kid gave one short nod. "Yes. You want to replace me." His tone was just as dull and expressionless as his face.

 

The motherly executive shook her head rapidly, her long hair whipping back and forth as she did so. "No no no! We could never replace you, Qaz! We're just... planing for the future. We want to make sure your dream stays alive after you... move to a better place."

 

A fat, middle aged executive dropped his poor excuse for a sympathetic smile and glared and the kid, frustrated at how slow the proceedings were going. "Let's get down to brass tacks, shall we? It's only a matter of time before you kick the bucket, even with the best medical technology money can buy keeping you alive. And the way things stand now, when you die this company will die with you. I know you don't care about the company or the money, but if you want that little project of yours we're working on to keep on going after you die, we need a replacement for you, preferably several replacements."

 

The smallest glimmer of emotion sparkled in the kid's eyes as the executive mentioned the project. "What do you expect me to do? People like me are not very common."

 

An aged, creepy looking doctor nodded. "It would be impossible to find someone with your exact powers. It's a miracle we got you in the first place. But if we can find individuals who exhibit similar powers as you do or can recreate the effects you can, even if on a smaller scale, that would be a very good start to finding a replacement. I've heard cases of psychics jumping down a tier, perhaps we can recreate the effect to make a psychic with lesser powers then you a suitable replacement..."

 

The fat executive chimed in. "We've already got two possible test subjects." He slid a folder containing files on two people going by the names of Hooligan and Drakk, across the table to the kid, who looked them over briefly. "According to our intelligence network and what government files we were able to acquire they've displayed powers akin to yours on a smaller scale. They're criminals, so you'll be able to fully use your powers against them without fear of reprisal. After all, they can't exactly call the psychic police to arrest us without getting arrested themselves, can they? Bring them here however you can."

 

The kid frowned. This all sounded like a lot of work... "Can't we just put out a help wanted ad or something?"

 

The fat executive growled. "If our stockholders knew exactly how close to death you are, we'd go broke in a matter of hours. This operation is strictly under the radar, which is why we're relying on you, and why we need to work with criminals. Your powers don't leave any physical evidence, and no one cares if a few bad seeds go missing. This is our best chance of getting a replacement without anybody being the wiser." 

 

The kid nodded once. "Okay. I'll do it."

 

The motherly executive nodded, looking relieved. "Good. Thank you Qaz. One last thing, you've got an important client waiting for you, waiting in the executive suite. Be real nice to this one, okay Qaz? He's a very wealthy first time customer."

 

The kid gave one last nod and then simply vanished, having been an illusion all this time. The executives quickly left afterwards, going back to their busy schedules.

 

(Could you create the customer for me Testa?  )

Cries echoed through the hallway, seemingly originating from the room at the end. Cries, screams, whimpering, whailing, all could be heard from the accursed room. Anyone outside the building could hear the cries of the lost soul emanate from inside, yet none was brave enough to enter. Some feared that it was a banshee, others thought of a ghost. Superstition, all of it. For what really resided in that building, was a man with a brown trenchcoat, mourning his lost friend while curled up in a fetal position.

 

Nothing mattered to him anymore. His life-long companion was gone. He had seen it in the hands of an officer while sneaking out to search for the backpack. Devastated, he walked away, while he slowly turned the walk into a run. Tears had went down his face as he eventually stopped infront of an abandoned building, ignoring the pain from his bones, the aching from his heart, the wheezing from his lungs. Drakk had entered the bulding, ran up to the highest floor, went down a large corridor, opened the door at the end, and simply collapsed in the middle of the room, beginning the exhaustion of his tears. He ignored the pain, he didn't care about taking a pill, the only thing he cared about, was the loss of a friend.

While waiting for the client, Qaz decided to get a head start on locating those two psychics. Qaz sent out several illusionary spies in the form of birds and insects, things that the normal person wouldn't give a second thought about. They went all over Qaz's area of influence and almost immediately found the noisy ruckus that was Hooligan being chased by what could only be a psy-cop. Qaz didn't dare get involved just yet, interfering with psy-cop affairs was pretty much treason. Qaz would wait and see whether Hooligan got away or got caught, a plan was in place for either eventuality.

 

@, @@Drago Ryder,

Qaz was still searching for Drakk with the illusory spies, but hadn't found him yet. However, Qaz did find that what looked like a psychic dragon person enrolled in the military holding a backpack, a backpack which according to the files belonged to Drakk. Qaz was definitely not going to get involved with the military, so simply watched for now using an Illusionary bird flying high in the sky. It would be important to know where that backpack was for later.

@@Dapper Charmer, @@crispy fries,

Qaz saw the psy-cop break off pursuit, and judging how the psy-cop had reacted Hooligan had created some sort of illusion to scare him off. Qaz couldn't see the illusion as it had been directed towards the psy-cop, but it had obviously been somewhat impressive judging by the reaction it got. Qaz's spies, in the form of various insects, shadowed Hooligan's every move, following to see where he would go.
