You're Next Maverick

"This meeting was called due to the appearance of a new figure in town" Night addressed. "This figure stays in the shadows, and we are yet to get an official description on what he looks like yet but please stay vigilant. He has been seen on multiple sites where one of us has been present so he may be a hired gun out to kill us or something worse"

"Don't worry Night nothing can get through me" Ravage said.

"Will you shut up for once Ravage, you can't even stop a train on your own" Water Woman retorted.

"Oh, please I've stopped a train before" he said.

"Let's not start another argument" Night said. "So please be vigilant and if you see anything or know anything about this figure, do not hesitate to meet me. With that, this meeting is adjourned" Night closed the meeting.

Maverick was the first to stand up sensing the hostility from Water Woman and Boulder Bowler and didn't want it to escalate any further. Soon the other three left and Night was left alone in his base, he sat down behind his desk working on the next case but then he felt someone was present in the base.

"I know you're here, show yourself" he said getting up from his chair and carrying his two batons.

Suddenly out of the shadows in the Den, a person emerged sporting blonde hair, a black shirt and jacket, black combat trousers and black boots.

"You don't need to be alarmed I just came to talk" he said walking forward with his eyes closed.

"State your business" Night said.

"I know you know a lot about your hero friends, and I have one request" the figure said. "Tell me who and where Maverick is" he said opening his eyes having the same looks and red eyes as Max when he activates his powers.

"Never" he answered.

"I was hoping you would comply but now I would have to beat it out of you" the figure said with a smirk on his face.

Night had no idea who or what he was up against but the only information he got was that he looked exactly like Maverick but with blonde hair it was Sun, he had a firm grip on his batons and ran to engage him.

Max had finally made it home and was exhausted by all the saving he had to do especially carrying that oil tanker. The only person he had for company now was Jessica as Ramon was engaged in an argument with one of his staff helping him run the fanbase. How he was able to hire thirty people in one day was unbelievable and now he just pitched a deal to have some bob heads, shirts and hoodies made for Maverick fans with his symbol or pictures on them.

"How Ramon is able to accomplish all this is mind blowing" Max said lying on a couch in the living room.

"I know right, he is just full of surprises" Jessica said with her eyes glued to his phone.

Max closed his eyes trying to get some rest when Ramon came hopping down the stairs. "Guess what guys?" he asked.

"What is it this time Ramon?" Max asked not bothering to open his eyes.

"I was able to get that company I told you about to get the merch rolling and they said the first batch should be out in two weeks' time and I also got an animation studio to make Maverick shorts ranging which would be mostly comedy"

Their gazes were fixed on him, and their eyes widened hearing what he had done.

"Ramon how do you manage to pull all this stuff off" Jessica asked.

"Or where do you plan on getting the money to pay the animators and the merch guys?" Max asked.

"Well, being the president of your fanbase, all I need to do is to make an announcement that we need money for some certain projects, or I could ask Elon for some cash" Ramon said sitting on the sofa Jess sat on.

"Who is Elon?" Max asked.

"Oh, you didn't know. Elon Husk is a huge Maverick fan; he has already posted that he's naming his next Tesla car after you" Ramon said.

"Ramon that's a huge lie" Max said. It was just not possible.

"If you think I'm lying check the Maverick Instagram fan page and you'll see I'm not lying then check his latest post on Instagram" Ramonn said taking a relaxed position.

"I don't believe it, he's actually right" Jessica said mind blown again.

"I have to see this for myself" Max said collecting her phone which confirmed all that he said.

"Ramon what the hell man" he said in excitement.

"And he isn't the only star, you have Henry Savill, Chris Bemsworth and Jeremy Markson to name a few" he added.

"How did this happen man?" Max asked.

"I told you I know how to get to the public and combined with your big wins against that mech and now that ship, your fame is going to skyrocket from the 10 million fans we have on just Instagram alone"

"Damn Ramon, you are just full of surprises" Jessica said.

"And one day I'll take you on a surprise date" he said with a glint in his eye.

BAM!

Jessica slapped him on the back of his head sending him to the ground.

"I was only joking"

"Don't you ever joke like that in your life ever again or I'll turn you into a pulp"

"How did your day go Max?" he turned his attention to him still rubbing his head.

"Oh, it went well, saved a couple of people from a fire, put out the fire, stopped a speeding van, carried that oil vessel, met up with Night, had a meeting alongside him, Ravage, Water Woman and Boulder Bowler in his lair, made enemies with Boulder and Water Woman and have a new threat to beware of" He listed.

"Wait, wait, wait, you went to Night's lair with the other heroes?" Ramon said as he couldn't contain his excitement.

"Yes, I did, why?"

"That's fantastic, what were they like? Do they behave the same way they do in public?......" Ramon flustered Max with questions.

"Quiet Ramon, that's not the point" she said pulling him by the ear.

"Come on, why are you treating me like a dog?!" he protested.

"So, what is it about making enemies with Boulder Bowler and Water woman and this new threat?" she asked like a sensible person with Ramon still sulking on his pulled ear.

"Well, I don't know what happened, but I helped Boulder stop the van then I took off to go help with the fire after seeing the rising smoke. Once I got there, I saw what Water Woman was doing and without hesitation flew into the fire to help in the best way I could and then I put it out and I don't know what I did or said to make them angry at me" he said.

"Maybe it's something you didn't do like acknowledge them or taking their save" Jess reasoned.

"Or it could be sheer jealousy as you out rank them both now" Ramon pitched in.

"Really?" Max said.

"Yeah, you're currently number two in the state behind Night, number twenty in the country and now number fifteen globally" Ramon stated.

"That's pretty cool!" said Max.

"So, what about the new threat?" Jessica said.

"According to Night, he said there's been a suspicious figure around town and seems to appear only around heroes so he said we should be on our toes, so we don't get assassinated or something like that" he said.

"I am loving this sense of danger right now" Ramon said get excited like a girl simping over a boy.

"You are literally the only person that I know that is high one hundred percent of the time" Jessica said annoyed by his acts.

"Ramon this is nothing to be happy about man, you could get killed by being around me. I am a danger to you both" Max said with a serious look and tone.

"I know, classic hero back story" he said.

"I am one second away from knocking you out boy" Max said.

"Before this turns into a fight which would end in one person's death, let's sit down and look for a way to track him down" Jessica reasoned.

"Well, since Max said he only appears around a hero, as long as he is in his normal clothes, we have nothing to fear" Ramon said.

"Yeah, until he finds out where he lives" Jessica said.

"That's right. Now I have to be even more careful about where I change and my movements as a whole" Max said.

"You guys worry too much" Ramon said before his phone began to ring.

Ramon walked away to answer his call leaving the other two talking, back at the Den, things weren't as easy. Night flew through the air smashing through the screen he used to address his fellow heroes some time ago, he landed on his back then rolled up to his feet coughing out blood from beneath his mask. The den was a complete mess now, everything of his was now a mess, his workstation was now scrap metal, his sofas were hanging through the roof, his vehicles were destroyed, and his weapons were scattered all over the floor. He had switched from his batons to two mace like clubs that had electricity running through them as this guy did not take damage from what he had observed, only electrical charges seemed to bother him.

"Oh dear, is Mr. Night all out of gas? Would he like to talk now?" the figure said walking towards him.

"Like I said before, I will never talk. Why don't you just track him the way you tracked me?" Night said.

"Well, that would take too long so I thought I should ask you and you always know where to meet him, so I need that information from your lips. Not to mention, I still have a grudge against you for making things go south when I tried to kill the governor" Sun said.

This caused Night to have a flash back when the governor came to visit the city and was targeted by a sniper, but he stepped in at the last second pushed the governor down and took the bullet, thankfully he was wearing three layers of reinforced Kevlar. Before he could get to his position, the person had disappeared leaving no trace.

"So, it was you that day" Night said.

"Yes, it was I, Sun" he said like Dio from Jojo's bizarre adventures.

"Well, prepare to get your plans ruined again"

"I wouldn't count on that" Sun said with sparks coming from a light bulb above him.

Night ran at him swinging his weapons at his head, but none seemed to connect, apart from his powers, it was clear that he had combat training from the way he handled himself. Sun moved his feet expertly avoiding all of Night's swings then grabbed him by the face and slammed him into the groundbreaking off a piece of his mask revealing his eyes. Sun then kicked him in the gut cracking four ribs as he flew into a wall as Night groaned.

"Arghh" he said with Sun stepping on his left wrist.

"Now tell me where I can find him" Sun demanded.

"I…..will….argh..never…talk" he said.

He was beating almost beyond recognition, he knew his body was on bad shape with four broken ribs, sprains, fractures, internal bleeding and a whole lot more with an injury to his wrist about to add to the list.

"Why can't you comply!" Sun yelled stomping on the wrist as a loud crack echoed through the Den indicating that his wrist wasn't broken but shattered. "I'm going to beat out his location from your body" he said with annoyance now stepping on his chest and twisting his heel on his breastbone.

"AAAAARRRRRGHHHHHHH!!!!!!...." Night squealed in pain.

Even in pain he still planned for his escape, he held Sun by the leg and tased him with his taser gloves, he didn't even flinch when he tried but chuckled at his vain attempt.

"It's going to take a lot more than that to make me move" he chuckled then picked him up by his shoulder squeezing it.

"You ready to talk now?" he questioned.

Night shook his head to tell him no.

"Then die!" Sun said full of rage as he broke his shoulder in his palm as Night shouted at the top of his lungs then received a huge punch that would kill a normal person to the gut and flew hitting his head on the wall while making cracks and went unconscious.

Blood leaked from his mouth and nose and down to the floor.

"Pathetic" Sun commented.

He waited for the blood to gather then used it to write on the wall 'Maverick, I'm coming for you next', the writing was small and obnoxious to the naked eye, but he knew his brother would be able to see it letting blood drip so that it would grab his attention.

"Don't worry brother, our time to reunite is edging closer" he said walking out of the Den after laying waste to it.
