Tech stood in the middle of shipping yard, he was surrounded by giant crates, perfect for hiding what he was doing. In front of him, where ten Korean agents, with three heavy-duty looking cars, and behind him, was his own helicopter.

 

“Pleasure doing business with you Gentlemen” Tech said as he set down the briefcase with the three hundred million dollars in cash inside of it.

 

He held out his hand for the final handshake

 

The Korean agent in front of Tech grunted, he did not like this guy, and he especially didn’t like the amount of money, that Korea was willing to pay him. For a moment he considered simply killing him and taking the kid himself, but the thought vanished as quickly as it arrived, if this worked out, this tall man was the only one that could do it again.

 

Begrudgingly he held out his hand, and Tech happily took it.

 

“Now the girl” The man growled, gesturing to the handcuffed, tiny person hiding behind Tech’s legs.

 

Somberly Tech bent down

 

“Now Wendy” Tech said, as he wiped the tears from her face. “I know your worried, but don’t be. This is a good thing.”

 

She did not reply. Tech stood up, and more forcefully than not, pushed her into figure of the agent, who then grabbed her by her cuffs.

 

“NO! Please, I don’t wanna go!” She said, pulling away from her captor, she was surprisingly strong. “PLEASE don’t let them take me!!” She pleaded, terror filling her tiny eyes

 

Tech paused for a moment and looked the little girl in the eyes.

 

“Goodbye Wendy”

 

Wendy didn’t respond, she knew all too well that it was useless, so now the easiest thing to do, is simply to do as she was told.

 

The man yanked on her chain much too hard, causing her to stumble, she looked up at the brute, but he showed no compassion, so she climbed into the open van, and took a seat.

 

The man slammed the door, and looked at Tech

 

“This better be worth it, because if it isn’t, you ar-"

 

Suddenly Tech’s helicopter erupted into flames

 

BOOOOM!!!!

 

“What the!” the agent yelled, then he looked at Tech and pulled his gun “Did you set us up!?”

 

“Oh crap.” Tech whispered to himself “What did yo-AAAAAGGGGHHHH!!”

 

The next part happened almost too fast for anybody to comprehend, there was a violent blur of motion, and each of the ten highly trained agents started to get picked off one by one, they were frantically aiming their guns at this invisible enemy, one of the men’s cars ignited into flames, two more men went down.

 

“What is this!? WHAT IS THAAAAAGGGHH!!!” One man tried to yell to Tech as he was thrown back into the fire. To put you at ease, he was probably going to be fine.

 

Then in one last sonic boom, all but the main agent lay on the ground. Instead, he was above it, being held up by a very angry Chase Parker Nology.

 

Before the man could speak Chase threw him into the rightmost van, or actually, through it. Chase stood there in front of the flames, his suit shredded with three giant slashes across the front and no mask. Tech looked at Chase, his body hummed, vibrating with power and energy, it emanated it, and his eyes seemed to be glowing, a faint, but very noticeable amount of red.

 

But Chase said nothing to his father, he only glared at him.

 

“Son. Will you ple-"

 

“Shut up!” Chase snapped, cutting him off sharply.

 

He began to walk toward the back doors of the only vehicle that he had left untouched, the one with Wendy inside. But before he could reach it, Tech spoke, 

 

“What makes you think that I won’t just come after her again?”

 

Chase froze in his tracks, and then he slammed Tech into one of the docking crates, his red eyes piercing into Tech’s.

 

“If you, or anyone ASSOCIATED with you, even SLIGHTLY, in ANY way, goes within twenty, no, FIFTY feet, of that little girl…I will personally, rip. Them. To shreds! Do you understand me?!”

 

Tech was silent

 

“Answer me.” Chase growled

 

In that moment, Tech saw something in his son’s eyes that he had never seen before, earlier there had been anger, but now... There was hatred.

 

“I understand.” He said slowly.

 

“Good” Chase replied, dropping Tech with a thud,

 

Then he walked back over to the van until he stood in front of its back doors

 

But before he opened them he mentally forced himself to calm down, he felt the power leave him, gradually his eyes returned to their natural green, and he stopped vibrating.

 

With a CRASH!! He ripped the doors off.  Inside sat a wide-eyed and terrified Wendy, with her arms around her legs, curled into a ball, she was scared and crying.

 

“C’mon Wendy, let’s get out of here,” He said as he stepped inside and snapped her cuffs apart.

 

As soon as she saw him she collapsed onto him, sobbing uncontrollably

 

“T-Thank you” She managed through her tears, and together with Wendy wrapped around him, Chase climbed out of the vehicle and walked right past Tech, not even looking at him.

 

Directing his attention toward Wendy, he made sure she was ready for him to start running in the same way he did before 

 

“Now hold on tight, we’re about to go really fast. Can you do that for me?” He asked

 

Like before, Wendy nodded

 

But before he took off, he paused and gave one last look at the man that his father had become.

 

“Goodbye, dad.”

 

And suddenly, Tech realized that after this moment, there was no hope, nor would there ever be any hope, of Chase ever being with him again, this was it he had lost his son.

 

“Chase PLEASE WAIT!” He pleaded in a last ditch effort to stop the very thing that he had feared since the death of his wife. But it was too late, Chase was gone, and Tech was left standing there surrounded in dying flame, all alone.  

 

And if anyone else had been there, they would’ve seen him bow his head, and they would’ve watched, as a single tear fell from his eye, and splattered onto the cold concrete floor of the docks.
