Caged (open to two or three more)

A multitude of colors emitted from the multiple flat screen monitors, each containing a variety of different pages containing information on Chicago. On the center screen was a downloading status bar which just reached 100%, Reds' wrist-top computer started beeping indicating that the download was a success. From another room Connor came, wearing is 'night time' uniform with his shades resting on top of his head and a look of distaste. It was his first night out in Chicago after doing a lot of foot work as Connor trying to find a place to start looking.

Primarily, he was looking for prositutes who weren't to afraid to divolge information about the large prostitution ring which seemed to be sweeping all a cross the city. He'd been slapped by woman, threatened by 'prostitue coordinators', and even had to avoid being tailed by the police. He couldn't turn up anything on any connection but he could tell something was up. In his home town, Connor dealt with a similar prostitution ring and all the pimps usually became more defensive to avoid confrontation just like what they were doing in Chicago.

"First nights always the dullest." Connor strapped the WT to his wrist and nodded his head forcing his shades to fall onto the bridge of his nose, he simply pushed them up with one finger and headed towards the door. He typed in a code on a keypad which controled the security system and suddenly all the screens on his computers went Red as everything locked up completely that only a retina scan could unlock. The door slide open revealing a dark, abandoned old tunnel way deep underground which was used in the early 1950s but put out of commision after an earth quacke. Connor had discovered it in the news and scouted it out, finding it to be a suitable location for his hide out in chicago. He liked it far more than the one he has in his home city, which was an old garage above ground leaving him valnerable to being found where as this one hide him well.

Red activated his nightvision and made his way through the cavernese loading bay towards the back of the train where the old rails had been cleared out leaving just the concrete in which they had been layed. There was his 1989 mustang parked and ready for action. The engine roared and sent an echo down the tunnel and drove down the tunnel. It stretched about half a mile up an incline leading to the surface, the mouth of the entrance was boarded off allowing nobody to enter. "Open says Red" Connor spoke outloud and his WT beeped confirm that the cammand was recieved. The boarded wall split into two halves seperating vertically and moving horizontally allowing the mustang to pass through onto a dirt road just outside of Chicago. The door quickly shut behind and Red sped off to Chicago for his first night out on the town.

After finding a secure location near where most of the prositution took place, Red made it to the roof tops and started patroling. This wasn't just about woman whoreing themselves off for money, no, it far more than just that. Young woman between the ages of 16 and 25 have been disappearing which to Red meant they were being abducted and considering that it was only woman it had to be for prositution, Finally, Red spotted a potential canidate to start his investigation. Even from a far she looked nervous and unsure as to what she should be doing. Now obviously she could just as easily be someone lost but the way she was dressed suggested otherwise.

Red opened his WT and pulled up information on the missing woman, and though they were some difference she seemed to fit the decription of the 17 year old Clarice K. Fern. He couldn't draw attention to himself, or else her pimp would probably make a run for it. He would have to wait for something to happen before making his move, so he patiently waited in the shadows on the roof.

((First post on this site, hope you enjoyed. WT stands for Wristtop if you were wondering. I have a basic idea on whats going on with this whole thing but the more who come the more interesting it will be))

It took a half hour until finally a 'customer' decided to drive up to inspect poor young Clarice. It was a fat man, obviously wealthy or at least tried to appear to be with a car like that. He rolled down his window, letting out a whistle as he scanned her up and down. Red could only imagine that the man must have be salvitating since they had her so dolled up to look her part. "Looks like you have a customer Clarice...but there is no way im letting him take you."

Red reached for his belt and pulled out one of his sharpened throwing disks, taking aim so that the disk will fly at an arc. It was a difficult trick Red had learned to do, involving a lot of head-math calculations but he was quick at calculating from relentless training. He threw the disc and it perfectly hit its target, scraping against the passenger side door and flying harmlessly to the street. "Wh...what the heck was that" The fat man got out of the car and wobbled around, he was truly obese. When he saw the scratch in his door he immediatly turned on Clarice. "Stupid whore, what did you do to my car!"

"I...I didn't do anything" She backed away, the man raised his hand to back hand Clarice but soon the bouncer watching over her came to the rescue. The bouncer was big, built, and packing a 9mm which didn't phase Red in the least bit as he prepared to make his move. "The boss don't like when the customers abuse the merchandise pal." The bouncer said in a deep, threatening voice but the fat man didn't seem intimidated. "Let me go you stupid bruteish prick." He yanked his hand free and starred the bouncer in the eyes. "Do You know who the heck I am?" The fat man started poking the guard in his peck which was obviously irritating him severly. Red could tell that this was going to end two ways, a call to the pimp or a beating.

"Go a head, give your boss a call..." The fat man than pointed to his car. "and while youre at it tell him her owes me a new car door because his new slut put a scratch in it." The guard pulled out his cell phone and dialed a number. Soon afterwards he started talking to his boss, the fat man grinned sheepishly at Clarice who was scarred with her arms folded around her chest to hide what wasn't covered. Perfect timing, i could barely wait a minute longer. Red thought, as he leapt into action.

Red grappled the building across from him with his Glove and swung down kicking the bouncer, knocking him into the car and sending the cell phone onto the hood of the car. The bouncer fell down to the ground and was out for the time being. The fat man was already making a run around the back side of the car to try to get to the drivers seat. Red slid over the hood effortlessly and landed right in front of the fat man, shaking his finger at the man as if he was a child. Enraged with anger, the fatman charged at Red. The hero steped onto the front tire and jumped up performing a spiral kick to the side of the mans face knocking him out instantly.

"Stop right there and don't move!" Came the brutish voice of the bouncer, the girl wrapped in his one arm perversly and a gun held to the temple of her head. "What? You going to shoot her and make me angry?" Red jumped up onto the hood of the car and picked up the cell phone, the bouncer backed up knowing the stories he has heard about these Heros'. "I said don't fucking move!" The bouncer took the gun from her temple and opened fired on Red who performed a flip off the hood, performing an airiel twirl over the bouncer and landing behind. He kicked out the back of the bouncers knee forcing him down, letting go of Clarive who ran forward away from the bouncer. He pointed the gun at her back and took aim, but Red grabbed his shoulder, tugging him back throwing his aim off. The bullet hit the brick of the building to her side, it just barely missed her.

The bouncer looked up just in time to feel his nose being broken by Reds' fist, knocking him out. Red let his body fall limp to the ground and looked up to Clarice. "Don't be scared, im here to help you." She looked hesitant to approach, but soon she found herself approaching him. "I can only help you if you trust me." Red offered his hand to her in a friendly gesture, and she excepted. "Take those shoes off, we need to run." Red looked down the road as headlights began to illuminate the street, more were coming.

"He won't forget this, he'll see this as being humiliated..." She spoke softly, her voice crackled and her eyes began to dart around. She was coming down from her high, and soon her body would begin to relax itself. Red had no choice, he picked her up effortlessly and she curled up in Reds arms for his warmth. "Just sleep...when you wake up I promise you will be home." Clarice pasted out and Red started running down the alley but not before the bouncer woke up just enough to see which direction he went. When his fellow cohorts arrived he pointed for them.

The moon was darkened by black clouds and soon rain began to pour down, Red knew he was in big trouble if he couldn't get to his car but he refused to leave Clarice behind. He may not be able to save all of the people kidnapped but he would save her. Red turned down another alley, arriving at a dead end. "Shit, I could of sworn this wasn't blocked." Red turned to go back but they had already cought up. He shoot his grapple up into the nearest building, only a few second till they reached them. "The boss wants him alive!" he heard one of them call out. Red lifted into the air, but the brittle brick he had latched onto broke and they both dropped back down.

With no choice, Red dropped Clarice and meet the first man in combat. Damn it Connor, you can't take all of them. He thought to himself, catching the bat of the first attacker, ripping it from his hands and knocked the man unconcious onto the ground. Three more came after wards, armed with either a crowbar or chain and it wasn't looking good considering ten more were waiting behind for the room to charge in with them.

((Consider this my bump))

Rex sighed as he stood on the rooftops of a nearby factory his arms folded as he tapped his foot in boredom, He had spent fifteen hours on a damn flight to get here and now there was nothing going on man how could things get more boring. Rex had heard of the greatest criminal and mass murderer to ever live Chaos was here in Chicago also a Villain known as Dr. Everyone but still he had nothing after spending three days walking around in plain sight hoping for some kind of challenge but once again NOTHING. Rex growled and jumped from the warehouse building and landed, He shifted his weight so as not to break the ground and started walking placing his hands into his coat pockets. the coat was all he wore on the top mainly because he didn't like shirts they were too easy to grab in a fight he preferred to fight bare chested.

The 6'2 250 pound New York brawler stopped at a car with a long scratch down the side and saw some fat man screaming about it, Rex chuckled and the man spun around to face him. "What are you looking at street trash? I am one of the most important men in this city and some slut hurt my car I hope those bastards kill them both." Rex titled his head and walked over to face the fat pungent man. "Which way did they go?" Rex stared deep into the mans eyes and soon the fat man was backing up pointing down a way. Rex smiled and brought his fist down crushing it through the hood and destroying the engine. "Now you have something to complain about, Your suppose to be a honest citizen yet your out here buying women. Lose some weight and maybe a woman will look at you."

Rex turned down the corner and walked forward. It wasn't long before he spotted the large group and looking over the heads of the smaller ones he saw a man fighting to protect a woman and to Rex that was all he needed. The first person he came up behind was a large black bouncer holding a 9mm and screaming for them to bring the man down. Rex shook his head for he hated those who were too chicken shit to fight there own battles. Rex reached out grabbing the mans shoulder and with a twitch broke the mans arm holding the gun. He screamed and the others turned to look at the new comer and there boss laying on the ground holding a arm he would never use again for the break had been high near the shoulder clip and a break there was nearly impossible to recover from. he would keep the arm but it would never be usable again.

Rex leaned on the wall and whistled getting everyone's attention "I hope you weren't planning on leaving me out of this party? I mean come on fifteen on one that isn't fair for you guys." Rex stepped forward and flicking out his wrist he caught one of the thugs in the chest and sent him ten feet into a dumpster where he laid unmoving. One guy screamed and swung a metal bat smacking Rex over the head and with the way the man had done it rex guessed that was his favorite way. The bat didn't even make him woozy but the bat bent . The Crimson titan grabbed the man by the shoulder and brought his knee into the mans stomach dropping him where he stood then he was on the rest.

Rex was a fueled being of Justice and not one would escape, One tried to get down the road but Rex ripped the parking meter off the ground and barley tossing it sent it flying into the mans leg where a crack was heard and the man fell down holding his broken leg. Rex heard a click and felt bullets hitting him in the back then drop to the ground. Rex looked behind him having only felt a little sting like you would with a bee or wasp. Rex reached out grabbing the mans hand who had the gun and closed his fist. The man screamed as the bones in his hands were broken and the gun crushed ripping into the mans hands. "Guns are for cowards. A real man fights with fist alone here let me show you." Rex lunged forward and not even adding any power he hit the man in the jaw knocking him cold instantly. The fight was over and the men laid at Rex's feet.

Rex walked forward looking at the two individuals and nodded his head with a smile. "Sorry I didn't get here sooner I got held up by some fat man in a car complaining about a scratch so I gave him something to really complain about, let's just say he needs a new engine." Rex walked closer to Red and the woman and looked around at the girl. "She should be home not out here and definitely not dressed like that." Rex looked at the man in front of him and balled his fist. "Are you a Pimp?" Rex's voice had gone from kind to dangerous in a flash.

Of the three that came after Red, the one with the crowbar moved in first. He swung the crowbar down verticly seeking to smack Reds' skull for an easy win, but Connor ducked, moving to the right and jabbing his hand into the mans lungs forcing him to expell all his oxygen. Red lifted his arm as a chain came flying down from above him, the second man had taken this chance to attack. The armored wristtop computer took the blow, but soon Reds' one leg was hit from behind by a crowbar forcing him down to one knee. Somethings going on behind them but what... Red rolled forward, narrowly avoiding a second strike from the first mans crow bar.

He rolled right into what would have been a kick to his jaw but he caught the man foot and twisted it. He heard a breaking sound but Red held back enough that it wouldn't be permanant damage. However, the man still fell to the ground crying out in pain. Red put him out of his pain with a swift punch to the jaw and stood up, twisting to face his other two opponants. Another vertical swing from the ever original crowbar wielder, Red caught the crowbar and kicked the man in the gut, taking the crow bar to us to block the chain wielders weapon which wrapped around the crow bar. Red flipped man over his shoulder into a wall, knocking him out but pulling the crow bar from Reds' hands.

The last man tried some practical martial arts on Red, obviously it must of been cheap training because he wasn't very good. Red brushed the first two punches off, kicked the mans leg to keep him from kicking him and than cracked him across the face to knock him out. When it was over, Red looked up and saw that a very tall muscular man was fighting the other guys. Nows my chance to get Clarice out of here!

Red ran over to Clarice and checked on her, she was soaking wet but unharmed by him dropping her. He picked her up just as a voice came from behind. "Sorry I didn't get here sooner I got held up by some fat man in a car complaining about a scratch so I gave him something to really complain about, let's just say he needs a new engine." The man walked closer to Red and Clarice but was looking at at the girl. "She should be home not out here and definitely not dressed like that." He than looked at Red, balling his fist up as if ready for a fight "Are you a Pimp?"

"No." Red simply answered as he walked to the mans side to get out of the alley. "Thank you, but she needs medical attention." Red didn't know what the mans intentions were, but he was truly grateful for his help but he wasn't sure how to interact with other heros, if that was who infact this man was. The car is only a couple of blocks away, once i have her at the hospital and alert the police I can continue with my work. Red walked with a slight limp, the crowbar which had hit the back of his knee had done damage but his body was already healing the fractured bones and swollen muscle.

Rex chuckled at the mans bravado and reached out picking the girl from his arms and holding her like she weighed nothing at all. "Ok then let's go see this car. I will tag along besides I got nothing else better to do anyway." Rex followed the young man and stared at him. "I'm Rex a new Hero well sorta some would say my methods fall into more villainous categories than Hero but I don't harm innocents. So who are you and what is this work your doing? " Rex kept up with the smaller man with his long strides and the fact he took zero damage in that fight.

He noticed the man had a limp but a warriors courtesy to another he would not mention it if the other man didn't. "I Apologize if I took the fight from you back there but it seemed like you needed a hand, Either that or you were just drawing them in which would have been odd since you allowed yourself to get hit. Or was my Arriving helpful?" Rex stared ahead his mind working as he thought to himself. "Alright my first day as a Hero is going well i helped a guy out and saved a girl plus i put down some bad guys." Rex groaned and pulled out a cell phone and dialed 911. He spoke to them about the thugs and where to find them and that some would need medical attention and then hung up before they asked his name.

Rex flashed back to his days on the streets bringing down thugs just like that alone and twice there numbers and no matter what he never felt pain no matter how many times someone hit him, It was a good gift but he needed a bigger challenge than street thugs and pimps. "I hope I'm not crossing your border when I ask if you mind a tag-a-long for whatever Hero business your doing, I came here in hopes of finding two super villains but it seems I'm gonna be disappointing so I can help you out."

The girl moaned and opened her eyes staring up into the handsome face of her rescuer. (Ya that's right vanity) She gasped but Rex turned her to see Red and smiled at her. "Don't worry I'm a friend, you have nothing to fear from me. Were taking you to the hospital and making sure you get home safely you have my word of Honor." Rex looked at the man noticing his limp was getting better and guessed healing powers which would explain why he was taking risks like this. "So hero what's your story, Why you running around saving damsels in distress and fighting thugs? If it's none of my Business I understand. Something in this life are just too personal or painful to talk about."

Rex followed the man as the clouds moved showing a beautiful Blood moon which to Rex was the best of all for it signified new beginnings and a time of change. The stars shone in the sky and Rex made a small chuckle. "A man once told me that the stars were the ancient warriors of Justice and virtue, He says once they pass away there destinies fall to another. Look at them all up there without a care in the universe. The world could be in full on war and nothing would really change, the forest will grow back. Animals will return, the ocean will still wash the beaches even amongst the dead. I hope to be one of those one day." Rex laughed throwing his head back as he looked over at Red. "Completely Corney huh." Rex wrapped his coat around the girl to keep her warm wondering just how far the car was.

Red listened to Rex as they walked for his car at a hassened pace, the man seemed openly social about everything he did or does. He was brutal, considering how those men looked he showed little care for criminals which was similar to Reds' beliefs. He didn't mind that he took the girl from his arms, some how Red felt he could trust this man even though he had never meet him. After a few minutes they arrived in another alley where a 1989 Mustang with a deep red finish was waiting. "Put her in the passenger seat." The car reconized Reds voice and unlocked, it seemed there was more to this car than meet the eye.

Red took out the bouncers phone, he knew he was being rude but he wasn't sure what information he should disclose to this man. Red had just been a tag the criminals gave him back in his home city, but Red never thought about giving himself a name considering he felt it was personally pointless. He opened up his wrist top computer and soon linked up to the phone wirelessly. "They call me Red..." Connor finally disclosed, droping the phone on the ground and smashing it under the heel of his boots. "My work is to help the innocent, and beat the criminals down enough so the city can cover itself. Right now, i'm investigating a series of kidnapping all around Chicago, all female. Clarice is one of them." The heat in the mustang turned on, but Red remained outside the car standing in front of Rex. "I just got a lock on her pimp, if we trace the dots and follow the leads we can locate the man in charge. After we drop her off at the hospital we can move in on the pimp."

Red wasn't sure that everything he said was accurate, he didn't know if this was just a prostitution ring or far more but he was determined to find out. Connor walked over to the driver side door of his car and looked over at Rex. "If you're in, meet me at the warehouse on fifth street in an hour but if your not up to it than go home. Your tough but taking down organizations is more than just beating a few heads in, it takes a great deal of planning..."

Red sat in the seat and closed the door, there wasn't much room for Rex to get in and Connor wasn't going to let him put her in the back. The rain let up, and Connor rolled down his passenger window with the electronic switch. "You're wrong about the Earth...it wouldn't be the same, not without us. With out humans there is no hope, no love, no honor, and no justice." Red paused looking forward and threw the car into drive. "As for the stars...thats a fate worse than death if you ask me. So far away from those in need, exactly where i dont want to be." Red glanced at Clarice and than Rex just before peeling out of the alley and heading towards the hospital.

(My next post will be me dropping her off and goign to meet you at the warehouse. What you decide to do between than is up to you just be sure to meet me at the warehouse)

Rex sat the girl in the car and nodded at Red and watched the car take off, He decided to just go ahead and go to the Warehouse and scope it out after all there wasn't much else to do. Thunder boomed overhead as rain poured down which to Rex was good since it would disguise his footsteps. Rex walked down the street both hands in his pockets while the rain landed on him soaking his hair to his body but it didn't bother him in fact he loved this weather it reminded him of home.

Rex stopped at a curb and looked out where he could see before he looked up spotting a building with a great view, He bent his legs and jumped into the air soaring up higher and higher his hands still in his pockets, As he got to the ledge he took a air step backwards onto the smaller building and backed up deciding to have some fun. Rex ran full sprint from one side of the building to the other and at the edge he leaped and soared through the air flying up and up. At the last moment he twisted in the air and landed with perfect balance onto the building he was looking at first with the great view.

Rex stared down at the city from his perch and looked around. He was simply standing there with his hands in his pockets as he thought about how bored he was but that would change soon enough. He thought about Red and what kind of hero the guy would turn out to be for he had bravery and backbone and that wasn't common in this world anymore. Rex knew it was his powers that let him decide this path but Red didn't seem to be gifted with super powered strength or the power to take incredible damage that would kill a average man and laugh it off.

Rex decided he respected the guy for what he was trying to be and what he may someday actually become. But Rex had his own goal and it wasn't fame and world renown it was Justice to Villainy and the villains of the world. They had to be stopped, He wasn't naive enough to believe he could fix everything in the world but he knew if he could fix things that were hurting he people and world in big ways then he would be doing his goal.

Rex looked around and spotted the Warehouse off in the distance and with a lazy leap he flew through the air powered only by the strength he commanded and the power he used to leap from the building. He seemed to float forward and down. The leap had carried him a good few miles and already he was closer to the warehouse. Rex landed and skipped a few times forward instead of putting all his weight down and breaking the street. He sat at a corner only a block from the building and waited for Red.

Bump, This is so The others know I posted)

Texting while driving was difficult, but driving while hacking into the traffic light systemwas even more so yet Red still effortlessly drove to his destination. When he arrived at the emergency ward he skid to a stop, getting out of his car and sliding over the hood of his car to the passenger side. He gently picked Clarice up out of her seat and walked over to a pair of medics unloading an empty stretcher on wheels. They didn't question him as he laid her down, and they asked what was wrong with her.

"This is Clarice Fern, one of the woman who are missing from the recent kidnappings. She was druged and put on the streets as merchandise for the desperate. She needs to be examined and detoxed immediatly." Red turned and started walking away, from behind he could hear the medics quickly rolling the bed away. Red sat back into the mustang and drove off.

"Who was that guy?" The medic asked Clarice, to try and see how dazed she was. "They call him Red, he and Rex saved me..." She passed out again as the doctors came to begin examining her.

Red parked accouple of blocks away in a alley, locking his car he scaled the building onto the roof tops. He spotted Rex, sitting at a corner waiting for Red to arrive. He traveled over roof tops until grappling the ledge and dropped down to his side. "Rex." He spoke calmly, landing softly and giving a nod. "So you've decided to go all the way, i'm actually glad you did. These guys are well armed, and have some training which makes more than a dozen dangerous for me alone but with you on my side we have a good chance at this."

Red opened up his wrist top computer and pulled up a layout of the warehouse, "Courtesy of the internet, this is their main hideout i believe. Inside is an office where their boss probably keeps detailed information on the kidnappings. They are completely cut off from any networking source, wireless or hard line. I need to manually hack into their system and pull the information I need. We can save those others girls if im correct, maybe more..."

Rex looked over as Red landed and listened to him talk all high tech and sighed. "How about I deal with the guys with guns and you can go do your hacking thing and get information about the girls, the boss will be inside so you can ask him directly when his men are put out." Rex stood up and walked towards the warehouse moving his hand he pulled the coat off and let it drop in the road and stepped out of the rain. Rex looked over as two men and a dog came over to tell him to leave and pulled guns. Rex chuckled as the men fired the bullets point blank into his chest and watched them bounce off.

Rex stepped forward bringing a fist to ones jaw sending him flying and turned smashing his elbow into the others face breaking his nose and cheek bone. The dog growled and leaped only to be caught in the air and with a soft pat he set the dog down and watched it run off. He didn't hurt animals, People yes animals no. Rex leaned against the fence looking back at red and waved for him to join his location and talk strategy. Rex could handle the guys with guns and Red could do whatever he needed to do to save those girls.

Red caught up to Rex, he was obviously superhuman, there was no doubt about that now. He was the first one Red ever meet, and he was glad it wasn't a super villian. "Alright, i need you to draw their attention while I move in through the roofs. Judging by what you just did, it shouldn't be much of a problem for you." Red smirked, he kind of liked having a partner, especially one who could take bullets bare chested. "Alright, i'm off." Red darted off, keeping to the shadows as more armed guards made their way outside to see what has happened. Snipers on the roof began to take aim and fire at Rex from a far, aiming at anything they thought they could pierce.

Connor grappled the ledge of the warehouse and zipped up to the top. The roof had domed windows and ahead of them were the snipers taking their shots. Red ran silently, his foot steps hidden by the storm, one hand on a throwing disc as he jumped ontop of the one man forcing him to let out a grunt as Reds' weight forced the air out of his lungs. The other quickly turned to point his gun but felt the sharp sting of his hand being sliced open by a flying disc forcing him to drop his sniper. Connor kicked the other snipers gun off the edge of the building and than lept to the other bring his fist down to his head as he tried to stand up from his shooting position. The one was knocked out but the other had drawn a hand gun.

Three shots rang, but smoke surrounded Red and the shooter couldn't see where Connor had gone. "Boo" Red whispered in the mans ear, forcing the man to turn just in time to feel Reds' fist against his face. "Two down up here..." Red peered down the window as more gunned men started to arm themselves preparing for "Only an entire army to go, i hope Rex is as invulernable as he appears to be."

Red snuck into the window and softly landed on the cat walk unoticed since their attention was on the entrance of the warehouse. Behind the army of men was their boss, he had some sort of case and was pulling out pieces. "Is that a rocket launcher?" At first Red was surprised, but than he started to think about how common superhumans were and that criminals would probably have some sort of precautionary measure. He than looked over towards what was the office. It was the nicest looking thing in the building but what disappointed Red was that he didn't see any captives. "Where are the other girls...they couldn't of got them all on the streets already." The mayhem outside started to calm down, Red would wait until Rex made his arrival. Wish i could warn him about the rocket launcher. Red thought to himself as he dropped onto the roof of the office, dropping to his belly and staying low.

Rex watched Red take the roof and shrugged leaving the man to his own devices he had other ways then skulking around. He walked up to the door and knocked and only a moment later a man opened it holding a shotgun. Seeing the man he fired forcing Rex too take a step back from the blow, he looked up and growled reaching out he ripped the Shot gun in half and stepped forward delivering a front kick to the mans chest sending him flying and slamming into the other wall with bone breaking force.

Rex walked inside and saw a small army with guns and sighed thinking he was gonna hurt in the morning and if he still had any of those pain killers at the hotel. That was as far as he got in thinking before a barrage of bullets flew at him. Rex took a deep breath and charged forward throwing his arms up in a defensive measure as pistol, semi automatic and full automatic bullets slammed into his body but Rex was in full charge a tank of Justice and finally he was among them.

Rex grabbed the nearest guy and whipped him around slamming him into the others in a full 360 degrees using the man like a club on his companions. Rex twisted backhanding a guy sneaking up on him with a knife and sent the man spinning into the air. A man ran forward and threw a punch with brass knuckles and screamed as his fingers broke around the brass from hitting Rex. The Justicar dropped the man-club and reached out grabbing a Forklift and lifting it with one arm he threw it over the heads of the gangsters and smashed it into the front of the door where it exploded and caught on fire. "Enough. Surrender now and no one else will get hurt."

Rex heard a laugh behind him and sighed turning around before a rocket slammed into his body and threw him through the air smashing him against the wall. The boss yelled at his guards that he was dead and cheering broke out. Rex groaned and the noise stopped as the Crimson Titan stood up looking at the boss his eyes blazing. "For that i am ripping off your arm." The men screamed and dropped down surrendering and the Boss began to crawl back his great jowls bouncing as he shook his head his great girth jiggling as he turned to crawl away. Rex grabbed him by the foot and lifted him upside down his face a mask of death in the firelight. "Come with me I know someone who wants some answers from you."

Rex dragged the fat man up the stairs and into the office throwing the man into the chair and sat down looking over his shoulders and yelled out. "YO RED IT'S ALL CLEAR COME OUT. " Rex looked over at the fat man and grinned waiting for the person who would do the questioning and investigating.

While Rex reaked havoc upon the poor unsuspecting thugs, Red snuck into the office which was conviently left unlocked making it all to easy. Quickly, Red plugged his Wristtop computer into a USB port and ran a security breach program to get him past all the anti-hacking. "This is some high end security we're dealing with..." Soon Red heard an explosion outside, and shortly afterward the cheering of multiple people. "Shoot, Rex is in trouble...come on..." Suddenly there was a beep, and Connor grinned as he downloaded all of the files from the computer onto his.

Two beeps went off, and than Red sent an overload command to the bosses computer causing all of his circuitry to fry. Red grabbed the tower and smashed it against the wall, it had more than what he expected in it. Suddenly the door burst open, Red pulled out a throwing disc and prepared to take aim until he noticed that it was Rex with the boss. He tossed him into the chair and looked at Red, declaring it was all clear and safe. "I see that..." Red peered out the window at the stranglers running for their lives leaving theirs 'friends' behind.

Connor pulled his taser out of it's haulster and placed it against the mans shoulder, "Alright tons of fun you're going to tell me whats going on or i'm going to send a couple thousand volts of eletricity coursing through your body" The fat man didn't seem to fear Red as much as he did Rex, so he grinned and chuckled deep in his obese throat. "i'm no snitch, I'm not going to tell you anything."

That wasn't the answer Red wanted to hear, and now it was time to show how little tolerance he had for criminals like him. Red kicked the man in the groin sending the chair rolling back into the chair but before he could reach down to comfort his ailment Connor wrapped his fingers around his greasy neck, slamming his head against the dry wall causing it to crack. "Listen up tubby, you see that computer tower in pieces on the floor. Even if you didn't snitch I have enough information to make it seem like you did. So I can continue to torture you, maybe give my pal here Rex a try until you scream like a canary or you can just tell me what I want to know. If you don't tell me anything, you'll still look like a snitch and get hunted down by your own kind." Right now, Red was hoping Rex did something intimidating from behind him just to show they meant business. Connor squeezed harder on the mans throat, making it hard for him to breath. "So are you going to cooperate or are we going to have to kick the shit out of you."

Fear gripped the mans eyes, Red had him and he knew it. Self preservation took over as he cracked. "Ok..." His voice was raspy from the lack of oxygen, but Connor squeezed harder. "I said ok!" Connor let go of his throat and the fat man started coughing.

Red waited a moment for the man to catch his breath until finally demanding, "Well? Whats going on? Never had to kidnap woman before to litter your streets with filfth so why start now?" The man couldn't look Red in the eyes so he stared over towards the wall. "A bunch of us, the pimps, were called to a meeting a few months ago. They recruited us with the promise of money and power...all we had to do was find them the right kind of merchandise." The fat man loosened his tie, sweat was beading down his face and neck. "That merchandise being woman right? So someone from the outside came in and dangled a nice juicy steak infront of you, so you took a bite along with all the other scum."

"They didn't give us much of a choice...it was either work for them or be wiped out. These guys are not fucking around." The fat man grew slightly histerical, "Their crazy, one of the other pimps said no and they killed him on the spot. Not even a warning or a word just BAM! blew him away." The fat man dabbed some sweat off his face with his tie. "Ok, so who are these guys? Where are they from?"

"Listen, im a dead man if i tell you anything else. You have to believe me, they'll kill me, you, even your friend" The fat man looked at Rex specifically, knowing what he might be thinking. "and trust me they'll find a freakin way to kill you." Red shooked his head and grinned. "Your only chance of survival is if we take these guys out. So tell us who they are and where their from. We can hide you until the close is clear and than you can safely be sent to serve your time in prison."

"What kind of deal is..." The Fat man blarred out angrily at Red, almost rising from his seat until Connor placed his boot down on the fat mans thigh keeping him from stand. Red got real close to his face, "beat the hell out of dieing don't it." Grudgingly, the man calmed down and relaxed in his office chair. "Their from China...a bunch of human traffickers looking for pretty american girls to sell to high rollers. They are very secrective, they call themselves..." Suddenly, the fat man stopped talking as foam oozed out of his mouth. Red backed away, wondering what was happening to the man.

"What the hell..." Red checked his pulse, but it was to late to do anything for the man. "He's dead..."

Terran had recently been waking up in random cities. He had no idea why, but he would be awake for a week at a time, fall asleep in a tree, and wake up in a random city street. Sleep walking? Maybe. He would figure it out eventually, but not right now. For the moment, he wanted to figure out where the hell he was. How was he going to do that? He did what any person from a typical comic or cartoon from his youth would, look in the nearest trash can for a newspaper.

As luck would have it, Terran did find a newspaper. He learned the date as well as his location, Chicago. He had been to Chicago once before, back when he was still apart of the camp. All right, one question down, a million more to figure out. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, he needed a plan. His concentration was broken then by police sirens. Terran decided to go see what all the fuss was about.

There was an ally way filled with about fifteen people that were broken, bloody, and just quite interesting to be honest. The Terran focused on the words that were being spoken by the police talking to one of the fallen thugs. It seems that a big, crimson guy and normal sized person in red clothing had beat them up and that they had taken a girl to the hospital. All right, off to the hospital.

Terran needed an easy means of travel. He saw a broken skate board on the edge of the ally and smiled. He held his hand out toward the wooden contraption and willed it towards him. The board lifted up and flew towards him. One loves levitation. Terran jumped onto the skateboard and held his balance. he used it to float up to the building rooftops. He figured riding a floating board through the sky would either attract attention...or lead him to fall down to the ground...both were bad. So he ran on the roof tops till he got to his destination.

Once at the hospital Terran used a similar process to reach the ground as he did to get off it, levitation. This time he used a trash can lid that he spotted below. entering the hospital he asked the person at the registration desk if anyone wearing red had brought a girl in. The women said yes and called the man Red. good, a name to follow by. He asked if Red had a companion with him, and the women said that the girl mentioned Rex aswell. Terran smiled, nodded, and said "Thank you. Can you tell me where they went?" The women said "I saw the one go into a mustang and head toward the warehouse district." Terran said thank you, and ran out.

He made his way to the warehouse...only to realize he was not sure which warehouse he was going to...damn. A loud boom was made off in the distance, bingo. Terran followed the sound and saw a lot of carnage. He made his way inside and heard voices. He crept silently and made his way to see inside a room where a large titan and a red wearing man yelling at some fat guy. The next second the fat man looked like he had a rabies induced stroke and died on the spot. Well, now his chase was done. He figured since he came this far, he might as well get the whole story.

Terran made sure he was ready for anything, and walked in the room "Greeting gents, anyone mind filling me in on everything? I so far know you guys saved a girl, beat up thugs, and watched a twinkee stuffer die from what I can only imagine to be a lard overdose, or more accurately from sometime of bull shit that killed him for squealing. Poison or nanobots, Ive seen both do the same."

Terran then realized that he should most likely introduce himself. Though that could be bad, since he already intruded on the entire...event that was unfolding before him. He needed to keep up this attitude of his right now though if he wanted to try and get any information.

Rex looked at the man and watched him die before crossing his arms and leaning back. "China men trafficking women I know the kind and if what he says is true about them just blowing the Pimp away I say Triad or Yakuza. Either group would have no problem just killing a man for not agreeing with them, I know a few here in China Town that came from New York if we need to grab some leads." Rex looked at red then at the broken computer. "I assume you got the information you needed?"

Rex turned as the new person entered than stopped himself from throwing a punch at the man's skull since he didn't seem to be much of a threat. He looked the guy up and down then grabbed the fat man throwing him out of the chair and sat down propping his feet up on the table. "Well you seem to follow the bodies we leave behind either your very clever or very lucky either way doesn't hurt to give a name when you meet people. I'm Rex the Crimson Titan and Justicar of Earth. My friend over there will give his own name and title if he wishes."

Rex sat back his red hair dropping to the floor as he thought about the people he knew. "Ok if it's Triad were looking for which is the better guess since a lot of there operation is Trafficking more so than the Yakuza then the man we want here is John Po. However if it's Yakuza then we need Carl Chink." Rex grinned shaking his head. "Ya his last name really is chink but he is small time and may not know much but he is thirsty for higher class so he will have information either way you want to play it, We could split up grab the guys and bring them here for interrogation or we could go visit them at home either way is gonna be a lot of gun fire." Rex looked at the new guy trying to decide if he was on there side or if he needed to crush the man's brains.
