Chapter 11: Chapter 11: The Females Of The Species
After a half hour, Hughie calmed down and the burn on the side of his body seemed to have disappeared. Mike sighed as he kept watch and waited for Frenchie or Mother's Milk or Butcher to come and update him on what's going on.
He checked his phone's time and heard
*Knock* *Knock* *Knock* *Knock* *Knock*
He closed his eyes and the world suddenly turned gray. Everything seemed dull, except himself. The only things, that stood out in this gray world were Mike, who looked like a shining humanoid sun, that you couldn't directly look at for too long and Hughie, who had two black spots on his completely white torso.
Mike turned around and a completely white sphere appeared in front of him. It seemed to be pulsating in an unique way, that gave him assurance.
As soon as he opened his eyes, the world returned to normal and he opened the door to welcome Butcher, who took his hand and was lifted up into the Van.
"What took you so long? And what happened to him?"
Mike sighed "I decided to grant him a class and fate played a funny prank on us. Mother's Milk and Frenchie went after the dealers. I have a date with one of the filth. I'll tell you the rest on the way."
Butcher nodded "Alright, so where we..."
*Brrr*
Mike's screen lit up, as he saw the words
[Milkman has sent you an image]
Butcher raised an eyebrow "You put MM under the alias Milkman in your phone?" Mike shrugged and said "I have Hughie as "small Knight" and Frenchie as "worse at English". It's easier to keep your names secret, if I base the nicknames on your character and not appearance."
"What am I then?" Butcher was genuinely interested. He wasn't worried about the boys, as Mother's Milk had time to take a picture, meaning they most likely were safe and his nickname intrigued him. Mike nodded and showed Butcher his contacts.
At the top was Butcher's number, with the words "Doesn't like tea" above it. Butcher scoffed and handed the phone back and went to the wheel to start driving. "Get off the fucking internet and send me the picture MM gave you."
Mike nodded and quickly forwarded the google maps location to Butcher, who set up a navigation course to that location.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So, how did you two get locked up in a cage?"
Butcher stared at the two boys, who had locked themselves inside of a prison cell, while Japanese music played in the background.
*Boys among men? Weird name for a group. Though I should study these Japanese if I am to pose as one.*
Mike briefly glanced at his backpack, where the fake passport identifying him as Japanese was stored and went back to watching the band on the TV, completely ignoring the rest of the boys.
"Ask Frenchie. The guy saw some psycho asian chick in here and for some fucking reason decided to open the door!"
Frenchie smiled and fidgeted a bit "She looked innocent enough. I wanted to help her."
Mother's Milk looked at Frenchie "This is the problem with you, Frenchie. We are given orders and you barely follow half of them. What if she had killed us? If we didn't luckily get in here in time, we would have joined the guys laying there dead!"
Frenchie looked slightly apologetic and said "Look, I felt for her, no? I wanted to help and made a mistake. Monsieur Mike, don't you agree with me?" He looked over to see Mike almost entranced by the music playing on the TV.
Butcher sighed "Alright, shows over, we need to get going and track her down. You two, any Compound V here?"
Mother's Milk shook his head "None. If there were any, they probably pumped the chick full of it. Mike, turn that thing off and let's go. Man, what is it with that band and attracting people with superpowers."
Mike shook his head and sliced the screen of the TV off. He quickly checked it over and he mysterious tossed a few components into his backpack.
Butcher raised a brow at that "What you got there?" Mike looked around and the only thing he could see was Coca-Cola in a McDonald's large cup. His eyes slightly lit up, as he began drinking it from the straw.
He seemed to have just now realized what he was doing and looked over and checked the boys, who were staring at him in complete confusion "Smoothie?" The buys shook their heads and Butcher said "Nah, we're good." Mike just shrugged and gulped the entire cola down, after taking the lid off.
"Monsieur Mike, what did you take from the TV?" Mike looked at the TV and back at Butcher "The TV was... unnerving, for the lack of a better word. I decided to take take its motherboard for inspection.
On a side note, I can't help with the capture of the filth this time."
Frenchie furrowed his brows "Do not call her a thing or that, s'il vous plaît . She is a kind girl!" Mike raised a brow at that and scoffed.
"Right. You need to capture her. Hughie should wake up before you guys get even remotely close to her, so you should have, at least a somewhat capable death knight. He has learned burning fury, so he can fend the female off for a while, if what she did to those men is the best she is capable of. Just make sure Hughie is the shield and use his new durability to the fullest."
Butcher looked over at Mike with doubt "And where the fuck are you going?"
Mike smirked "I plan to infiltrate Vought, implant an advanced control virus into them. For that, I have been saving a few people around the city and building my reputation up. I have come into contact with a member of the 7, Starlight, and we are going on a date to a bowling alley. I want her to put a word in with dear Vought to hire me."
Butcher looked even more nervous "*Fuck. I have a very bad feeling about allowing him near those supes, but I can't stop him. Sorry, gut, but you gotta sit this one out* Good idea. Make sure you do that, we will get the girl and meet you at a special hideout. Write down the address."
Mike nodded and pretended to write the address down. His memory is good enough to learn an entire language in a week, much less a single street's name.
"Make sure to wake up Hughie with cold water. He will wake up and instantly ignite his spirit, so better douse him before he even gets it going."
Frenchie nodded at Mike, while Mike got into his stance and appeared near the stairs, before disappearing once again.
*Quite an interesting situation. Two female ancients on both ends of the operation. What an interesting development. Still, I wonder if Annie is still under Word Of Love? Do people in this world even have the neurones to last this long? If she is, I can at least confirm her drawback.*
A.N.
You guys rock! If you type in the words 'The Boys' my fic comes up first, now that's epic.
You won't get an extra chapter, but I'd appreciate your stone, so we decrease the letter count to find my story even more. I'll even ask for a review. One guy gave me one, so I'm feeling confident all of a sudden.
If you have a question about the current characters, future characters, love interests, Mike's original world, his original cannon story, the power system of classes or whatever ask them in comments and I'll make a Q&A chapter eventually to answer everything.
