Chapter 26
It was necessary to act quickly and harshly, the girl should not have escaped under any circumstances. If I knock on the door, it might not be answered, and even if it is, it might be her boyfriend. I don't need him, and using him as a hostage is a method that can make her escape or things get out of hand. At the very least, I would, but I had a different plan now...
Since they were currently engaged in a rather interesting business, they were unlikely to pay attention to their surroundings. So I could pick the lock and get in, the problem was that I wasn't very experienced at picking locks. In the past, I didn't do much of this, just took a basic course, as well as basic combat training. Well, the lock seems to be the most ordinary, there should be no problems, and with my hearing it may not be difficult.
I made a lock pick out of the wire and started picking at the lock.
* Click* * Click* * Click*
Hmm, done... Slowly opening the door, I began to slowly make my way into the room.
I caught these two right in the middle of coitus... The man had his back to me, so I pulled out a Taser and fired.
*Vshuuh* * BZ-z-z*
Electricity passed through two people and they didn't even have time to cry out, the current was enough to knock both of them out without any problems.
Pushing the naked man away from the naked girl, I covered her eyes with duct tape and put the bag on her head. She probably won't need any clothes... Well, there's no time to dress her, so I slung her over my shoulder and started carrying her away.
The job was done, the girl was captured without any problems. Attacked unexpectedly and she offered no resistance.
I brought her to the base and tied her to the operating table, taped her eyes shut, and in addition tied her eyes with a tight bandage. I don't think she'll see anything now, and she won't be able to escape. It was just as well that she was naked, so it would be easier to work with her.
After all this, I put on an apron and gloves, as well as a special protective mask to prevent blood from getting into my eyes. Now it was time to start...
Just as I was about to start, I suddenly remembered something. As far as I remember, the girl is innocent, she did not kill others, and therefore can be considered an innocent person... Hmm, not good, am I willing to harm the innocent for the sake of power? Yeah, I didn't think about it before, my conscience started working too late... But don't let her go? How can I give up such a useful power?
Argh... What should I do?
* Ding!*
I was distracted from my thoughts by a signal. This usually happens when a particle accelerator is opened. I installed a speech recognition program, so I could always know when the accelerator opens. I went to the cameras and saw who it could be...
Well, no wonder, it's already day, Cisco is chatting with the Piper, probably soon he will let him out...
I looked at the girl at the operating table and sighed:
- I'm sorry, but I've got something to do, and I'll finish it with you later.- Then I went over to her and gave her a sedative. That should be enough for a few hours, and then I'll be back. I might as well keep her eyes open, because I'll try to keep her unconscious, but it won't hurt to have insurance, and anyone who knows these METAS will do something else.
Once I was dressed and equipped again, I set off towards Star labs, which should be enough time...
***
I arrived on time, and the Piper was just showing Ramon a silhouette at the confluence of Stein and Raymond. Cisco still didn't know what was going on, but it was good for me, so I waited for the right moment to attack.
*Bang* * Bang*
As soon as the fight started between the two of them, I took out my Taser and started moving slowly. Ramon used the remote control of the Piper's hearing aid and hit him in the brain. At that moment, I fired...
*BZ-z-z*
Ramon twitched a little, then passed out, not even able to see who was attacking him. I also had the foresight to temporarily disable the cameras, so I should not be suspected. I took the remote out of Cisco's hands and walked over to Hartley.:
"You should get some sleep, too."..
- Who t.....- the Guy didn't have time to finish, as I gave him a sleeping pill. He passed out, and then I slung him over my shoulder and carried him to the truck.
***
There were two people strapped to the operating table in front of me, both of them unconscious. The first was a girl who could teleport to places she sees, her name was Shona Baez, and I call her Peekaboo. Her crimes were not particularly terrible, minor hooliganism, theft and fights, nothing serious. At least nothing that I would have to kill her.
The other was a man named Hartley Rathaway, whose nickname was the Piper. Abilities are not particularly good, did not compensate for all the problems. Sensitive hearing that can pick up radio waves. Based on this, it can understand the cleanliness of certain devices and disable them. Also, he has a unique equipment - "Ultrasonic gloves". They allow you to concentrate its abilities and create vibrations that can destroy entire buildings. In General, thanks to his brain, the guy could have achieved a lot, if not for his stupid revenge...
The guy was also not a particularly bad person, did not kill, did not Rob, the crime was only one and that, it can be attributed to revenge. In General, he was also an innocent man...
And so, we came to the main question: what should I do with them? Part of me wants to let them go and spare them, and part of me wants to get stronger and not be in their shoes in the future.
Ah, this hunger changed me... For me, people have become food, and meta-people are like vitamins that will make me better. I used to justify my actions by saying that I was ridding the world of garbage, but now... I just can't give up on these two, I'm not a human anymore, and if I show humanity now, it might cost me dearly. There are a lot of things that will happen in the future that can harm not only me, but also humanity. I can't survive without people, but they are my food, so it's reasonable to protect them... Idiot Barry, if he'd been a little more ruthless, a lot of people wouldn't have been hurt and the flash point wouldn't have happened. But it's sure to happen and I need to be prepared for it. But the flash point is just the beginning, do not forget about the Crisis and other nonsense that has not happened yet. There was so much shit in the comics that not even a tenth of it had happened in this world yet.
Yes, without the power, I'll just be an empty place and I won't be able to protect my food, I'm not going to rely on Barry, I need to take everything into my own hands. Now I have become a predator, so this is not the time to think about morality and humanity, I should just... To eat them...
