45 Model Prisoner

As the kids were getting to know each other, I was in thought.

I had no idea what kind of costumes I would design for them, so after a while I figured I would give them their random power first and then just come up with it based on their power.

"Matteo, Charlotte, come here, let me give both of you your unique power"

The both of them excited to get a power approached me, both kneeling down in front of me like Mayank had before. I figured it was something the system compelled, it seemed out of Character for Matteo.

I started with Matteo as I hoped for him to get something that complimented his hunting knife skills. As I touched his forehead and imbued him with power, the system notified me of what power he got like it had last time with Mayank. His power was 'ashes of war'

Moving on to Charlotte, I touched her forehead and imbued her with power. I had no set power I wanted to give to her so I willed the system to give her a power that best suited her. After she got her power, the system notified me that her power was called 'Doll house'

Upon getting their powers, I moved them to the holodeck like I had Mayank. I had no idea how strong their new powers were, so I picked an opponent that was hard, but didn't have powers.

I told the computer to start a training sim with the league of assassins. Starting with just one enemy and every time one was killed, two more would take it's place.

The first assassin to spawn ran towards Matteo first, Matteo imbued his hunting knife with an icy power and lunged it as the assassin who was an expert that easily avoided the knife. Seeing this, I was about to end the simulation and change the opponent to someone less skilled until I saw charlotte behind the assassin. She no longer looked like herself, but instead looked like a small doll laying on the ground.

When the assassin had avoided the hunting knife he had taken a step back and parried it away. Not giving any attention to the doll laying nearby. Charlotte used that moment to slice his achilleas heel with a kitchen knife I didn't know she had. She then jumped up at him, stabbing him repeatedly in the chest until he died. It was just as gruesome as when she had killed black mask.

Two new assassins appeared in it's place. Matteo not wanting to be looked down upon by his junior sister, raised his hunting knife high above his head and then made a downward slicing motion in front of him causing a giant line of lightning to break open the ground and destroy everything in it's path for about 15 feet, including one of the assassins that had just spawned and couldn't avoid the blast.

As the other assassin was focused on Matteo's attack, Charlotte came up behind him and bit him on the leg, turning him into a lifeless doll. She turned back into her regular self and picked up the small league of assassins doll, cuddling it. "So Cute" She said with glee.

I was satisfied with what I saw and started designing their new costumes right away as they continued the battle with the four new assassins that showed up.

For Matteo, I made his costume look like the Slasher from Scream, I saw no reason to alter it's original look. I even added the iconic scream phone call voice to the costume. His Hero name would be 'Scream' Similar to his brother 'Whisper'. I planned to train him in blade arts, stealth, and escape.

For Charlotte, I made her costume to look like a female version of Chucky. Her red hair and doll powers made me think of the chucky doll right away. The systems costume fits its user no matter what size they are, so I didn't have to worry about factoring in her size changing. I made her voice sound like the iconic Chucky voice, but slightly higher pitched so it would sound a bit more feminine. When she wasn't in doll form and grew bigger, her face still had doll like features, masking her real identity. I planned to train her in blade arts, acting, and stealth.

Eventually the two were overwhelmed by the amount of assassins and the simulation ended. I tossed them their costumes, told them how to use them, and then explained that they need to keep them on when around me or in the house. I bought both of them a room beside Mayank's and then gave them their training schedule, putting Mayank in charge of them when I wasn't around.

I left the three to get to know each other better and train while I went to the prison to feed Clayface. He had been here a while now and had gotten used to the prison. He mostly just watched tv all day. He seemed to have given up on escaping long ago and has excepted his fate.

Id have probably liked the guy If it wasn't for his first impression on me. The whole reason he was in this prison was because he was going to kill two kids and he was a meta human that I couldn't place in our cities regular prison.

When I arrived in the prison, Clayface perked up and looked my way "Is it time to eat?" he asked.

"Yes, i'm also here to inform you that you will soon have company"

Clayface who was used to mealtime procedure made his ways to the furthest wall within his cell and put his hands on it facing away from me. as I slid the food through his doors food slot. When I closed the cell food trap, clayface turned around and grabbed his tray of food before speaking. "It's a small prison, what will you do when you run out of cells? Release some of us?"

I laughed out loud at his question. "You don't have to worry about that, I can always create new cells"

Clayface started to eat his food talking with his mouth full. "Be honest with me, will I ever see the light of day again?"

I honestly didn't know how to answer him right now and instead chose to leave the prison without answering.

I could hear his words as I closed the door behind me. "Youre just a bad guy pretending to be good, I can tell youre not much different than me Moonlight Knight".

I shook my head at his words. He was wrong, I may not be the typical Hero this world expects, but I wasn't a bad guy and I wasn't pretending. At first I may have been a selfish man that only cared about himself, but now I have people I care about and I want to protect their peace. The day I saved that kid in my old world and died, is the day I started to change.

Thinking about my old world, I remembered the number the lady in California had given me. When I had called, the number had been disconnected, but that didn't mean my brother or even my old self didn't exist in this world in some way. Parallels of people often times existed in different universes. It wouldn't hurt to keep my eye out for them.
