Chapter 8: Dragonfly

Chapter 8: Dragonfly

"Sir, I have not managed to find anyone related to the lab. Do you want me to continue the search?" Alfred asks me.

"No, maybe I was wrong. What's the status with Sable?" I asked him.

I'd finally gotten back to Visions after a long day of fighting high schoolers turned slime monster and asked for a status report from Alfred.

"Sable entered an area with no cameras 2 hours ago and has left the area yet."

'She's definitely dead by now, but I'll make sure."

"Keep an eye on her, but make sure to pay more attention to all people leaving the area."

///TS-51's POV///

I can feel it, my revenge is coming, for all those years of being shunned as the lesser, I'll defeat that traitor and prove myself. All I have to do is to wait for the right moment.

I receive a call from our supervisor.

"Dragonfly, the target and his friend are walking into an isolated area, time to go. Use the friend as leverage before engaging."

"That's a copy."

I smile and hang up. I let my wings unfold, it's time.

///TS-40's POV and the Next Day///

I can't believe that they let Dragonfly have all the action and leave me to find out what happened to their missing serums. It's not my fault they don't have enough security to stop a non-supers from stealing their stuff.

I go to the coordinates of the trackers that are on the vials. When I walk into the room where they're supposed to be, all I see is empty vials and random equipment lying around. I sigh, this is going to be harder then it should be.

As I attempt to track where the unfortunate people who drank the serum went, I finally find a place where it looks like a battle took place.

'I guess the slime met someone and they fought, but there's no way that the person actually won, right?'

The only problem is, the slimes trail disappears after this, then I see a drain going into the sewers.

'This is going to be so nasty.'

After 10 minutes, I finally see a tiny moving blob of slime.

"Hello, I'm here to help you, come with me."

After saying that, I realize how dumb it is. There's no way the thing will actually trust me, I didn't even put in any effort to make it sound believable. But wouldn't you know it, the thing oozes its way over to me, how in the world did this work? (Cause the boys are perverts and want to go to the girl.)

///Morgan's POV///

I'm still trying to relax after that kidnapping attempt, and it's finally the weekend so I can hang out with my friends now. Felicia is not responding to any of my texts though, so she's not going to be joining me this weekend.

Peter and I were going to eat lunch at a nice burger place, but we talked too much and got lost on the way. So now we seem to be in a relatively empty street when I suddenly hear a fast fluttering. I turn just in time to see TS-51 snatch up Peter and knock him out. Then he places a disk that's probably a bomb that he has the detonator to on Peter. The he tosses him onto a roof before landing.

"So, it's nice to finally see you traitor. How are you doing TS-21, or should I call you by your other name, MOOOORRRGAN?" He says mockingly.

"I've been pretty good, and I would prefer being called by an actual name, not some weird code that prison gave us." I reply, trying to distract him away from the fact that he could threaten me with Peter's life.

"Well too bad for you, you'll always be TS-21, the traitor, in my eyes. Unlike you, I'm loyal, and they rewarded me for being loyal by actually giving me a name. Dragonfly, and I didn't have to betray anyone to get it."

"HAHAHAHHAHA, YOU ACTUALLY THINK DRAGONFLY IS A NAME, OH MY GOSH. HAHAHA."

He snarls while raising both arms at me and unloading his wrist guns at me.

I roll out of the way while manipulating some shadows into spears before sending them at him.

"You never were one of the brightest people you know, I should've expected this." I say in a joking tone, still provoking him.

"SHUT UP!!" He yells back before throwing some discs at me which explode when they reach where I was.

Unfortunately for Dragonfly, I can jump REALLY high. In the commotion, I make sure to give Alfred an order.

"Alfred, send the fully functional Iron Man suit to me, quickly."

Currently, I can easily turn the tides by allowing myself to be cut, but it's a horrible experience that I'd rather leave for last resort. I pick up my Iron Man suitcase that disguised as a pitch black briefcase and suit up. The suitcase suit, has no flight capabilities, but does have foot boosters. Its weapons are a downgrade from the actual suit, but its real weakness is the armor. It is very susceptible to damage and easy to dismantle.

"Relying on your adoptive fathers tech now are you, are you really that weak TS-21 that you won't even fight me without using tricks?" Dragonfly yells as he starts to fly.

He suddenly bursts forward, and using his clawed hands, manages to gash my chest plate. As he turns, ready for another charge, a raise my left gauntlet, ready to blast my shadow cannon at him. Before I can fire though, he bursts forward and claws my left gauntlet, completely disabling my shadow cannon.

"Fine then, lets do this like a proper brawl then." I growl as I go into a boxing stance.

"Finally deciding to face me properly then, lets do this." He responds as he lands and also adopts a boxing stance.

We close in on each other at superhuman speeds before releasing a whirlwind of punches at each other. Full of ducking, dodging, and flips. My super body's superior attributes start to shine through though, as I start landing minor blow after blow.

Soon, he becomes too aggressive in his desperation to win and I duck under a wild blow. I deliver a crushing punch to his right knee, making him scream in pain. Right when I though I'd won though, he backhands me in the face. Then he claws at my face, ripping off my face plate and exposing my bare skin.

Before he can claw at me again, I blast my right gauntlet, and at this range, it sends him flying with a severe injury on the that I hit him, which was his shoulder. It was at this moment that the AI flown Iron Man suit arrived. I take off the worn down suitcase suit, and put on my fully-functional, pitch black Iron Man suit. Before I can finish off Dragonfly though, he's gone. Fluttering away with his dragonfly wings.

I go to roof and take the bomb off Peter, and then wait for him to wake up. When he does come around though, he looks shocked at the damage left behind.

"What just happened?" He asks me.

"Another day in my life." I reply, at the same time thinking that it will be his life in the future.
