After a long lecture from mr.chambers about my disappearance, right way to do things , my recklessness and his daughter.
" so Vincent what are you going to do, school or work?" Mr.chambers asked while looking at Vincent.
" um, what?" Vincent asked back a little confused about the question
" well if you're going to stay here I expect you to either go to school or get a job." Mr.chambers stated with a serious undertone
" well I was going to stay in a hotel." Vincent replied
" with what money? The money you had, you gave to Jesse and I to create your suit and there's not even a single penny left, and I can't put you on the streets because Jesse would hate me for that, so you only have two options school or work, I have heard big belly burger is hiring you could give it a try." Mr.chambers said looking at Vincent with a serious look.
" wait.. what? All that money just gone, how in the hell could a suit cost so much." Vincent asked the last suit he had he did not pay for he stole everything to make it.
"materials Vincent , the materials need to make that suit weren't cheap and if it wasn't for my daughter you would still owe me a couple of thousand of dollars. You should really thank her, I honestly don't understand what she sees in you but you make her happy so you know what'll happen if you hurt her" Mr.chambers reiterate the words from the lecture.
" don't worry Vincent if anything happens I will be able to pull you from work or school, there will be no problem, think on it and let me know your decision. Oh also if you do decide to leave paying what you owe is another option and the right thing to do." With that said Mr.chambers left the room.
Vincent sat on the bed thinking, getting up he walked to the desktop and turned it on after about 2 hours if coding he finally felt a little relaxed.
Knowing that he was the only "hero"in this general area he went into deep contemplation of the pros and cons of the three options. ( just so it's clear he is working on a side project that will be later known)
' the ability I recently received is practically useless to me I mean yeah cool I can make clones but it's practically a doll without linking to me, it would be great to fake my death.' Vincent thought about multiplex's ability.
'In a couple of days I'll be 19 and I hate to owe anyone anything, damn this man he sure seems to like blackmail and threats, some hero.' Vincent complained
" fuck" the only words that came out his mouth as he exhaled deeply the only thoughts left in his head was curses as that old familiar cooling sensation ran through his mind calming him.
' why did he suggest big belly burger, nope never mind he just wants a goddamn discount for fucks sake ' as he thought this there was a knock on the door. Vincent looked at the door then through it seeing Jesse " come in ,don't worry I'm dressed unless you were hoping I wasn't, that could be arranged " Vincent said with amusement .
The door opened to a slightly red cheeks Jesse as she entered the room " my dad told me he asked you to stay, are you going to." She asked expectantly Vincent noticed this and smiled ' that bastard he's forcing me here, why in the hell did I get involved with this woman again' he knew why it was just he wanted to complain " yes, your dad did talk about that." Before Vincent could finish
" so were going to live together" she said with happiness in her voice as redness rose from her neck. As Vincent watched this he grinned they were close in age with her being some odd months younger, also with the way she was raised it intrigued him to see her acting in such away when.
Vincent was different and raised different mainly on the streets where you could lose your life if you pissed off the wrong person, where you can see a prostitute get into a cop car for some quick cash.
Yet the girl in front of him seemed so innocent and pure that it brought up mixed emotions in him. He wasn't use to things like embarrassment or having someone care so deeply about him the only person who did was Sydney and he believes that the only reason she did was because he saved her life on multiple occasions.
" of course we are going to live together, why wouldn't I want to live with a beauty like you, I am also going to be going to school with you. rencontrer les amis de mon amant" Vincent said with a smile.
This caused Jesse to turn completely red as she ran towards the door " you can meet my friends but who said we're lovers." She said as she closed the door. Vincent heard her footsteps Leaving quickly.
' it seems she's been learning French.' Vincent thought as he stood up from his seat and went to find Mr.chambers.
As he approached he heard Mr.chambers on the phone talking to someone about Luthor and how he respected the man but he was untrustworthy.
Vincent decided to go back to the room he was staying in and listen in on the conversation with enhanced super hearing , which he considered and upgrade from enhanced hearing which he had no idea where he picked it up from.
He heard the words lab, nanotech, and shipment along with a place and time. Putting these together he decided that one plus one shouldn't equal two and that it would be a good idea to test his newly found gift , here in the room.
All he had to do was wait for night and then vex shall appear to grab the things he wants and maybe Remy would join him.
There were some slight problems with this plan he had just made the first is could these " clones" use his storage if not he'd have to go himself, if he goes himself and something happens causing the alarm to go off would he know about it. Thinking along these lines he came up with a new plan.
He will be there to stop a crime in progressed and remy will be the one to organize said crime but won't be there in person, with the new thoughts he left the base and made some phone calls once done he placed the phone in storage and waited with a smile on his face.
'hero, villian who to say who is who and what is what could it be the laws, the laws which was made by man and upheld by the current corrupt society.
No it is the way the individual sees the world. Hero, villain, good, bad is all decided by the individual themselves.
I am good and I am also bad but more importantly I am me.' Vincent thought as he returned back to base with an application in hand.
He met with Mr.chambers to let him know his decision, he would go to school. Vincent also talked Mr.chambers into a bet.
The bet was about money and rules if he'd lost he would follow Mr.chambers rules of the house and as a hero plus pay the money he owed but if he won the money would be voided,he would get an allowance and he would follow his own rules of being a hero. The house rules weren't negotiable but he would get some slack.
The bet was simple enough whomever scored higher on an IQ test would be the winner. This is the reason Mr.chambers agreed to the bet and with Jesse as a witness on top of video evidence the bet was made.
Although Vincent would still have to go to school he would have more freedom in doing so. After the bet was made Vincent left to the library where he studied maps and satellite images of Luthor Corps past delivery shipments after figuring out the best path he left and sent a message to Remys group.
That night
Vincent was out patrolling as he had multiple reports going on from the command center while out , occasionally he'd look at his phone and finally he received a message in ten minutes they'll be hitting the target .
Vincent made it to a spot overlooking the area but not to close to the ambush site as he turned to go to another location he radioed back to Jesse who's been on comms for the night.
Before leaving he heard shots, letting Jesse know he arrived on the scene after the crates were taken out and a suit case opened as these things were in clear view he attacked.
Once they were on the ground he placed everything in his inventory and closed the truck as sirens were getting closer, he slapped a couple, who woke groggily as he vanished into the skies.
The criminals heard sirens and panicked they threw the dead bodies in the street and drove giving the cops a chase.
Vincent had just left to stop a gas station robbery a couple of blocks away , Jesse told him that the police were chasing the truck and apparently lost sight of it.
As he was on his way to where they lost sight of it he apologized saying he thought they were all knocked out and he left as fast as he could because the police were not big fans of vigilantes. Which she completely understood.
( side note his inventory cannot connect with the outside world it is it's own pocket dimension)
Landing on a roof hidden from light he created clones to help him disable tracking devices and other bugs. Once done he threw the fried bugs from a roof into a pool he was passing by.
With nothing else going on and it being late into the night he finished his patrol and returned to base. While making plans to find somewhere to complete his side project.
