Being Noticed
"Breaking news, a criminal organization was wiped out last night, reports suggest the perpetrator of these events is the same one who has been attacking numerous gangs over the past month, many people consider him the defender for the powerless, but his cruel methods have shocked even the most veteran of the MHD agents."
"Tonight two experts in metahuman cases will accompany us and we will discuss whether this suspect is a threat to the city or the iron fist that it needed, we will see you after the publicity...".
Whoosh.
Seth turned off the television while having dinner, although the parasite had eaten yesterday, Seth still needed to consume its nutrients daily.
For the past month,Seth had been annihilating Sky City gangs,four gangs had been wiped off the map after he assaulted their headquarters.
The city was a little safer and the parasite was fed, nothing could be better except the unwanted attention he was gaining.
Although many people supported the ''Devourer of Sinners'' role, others saw him as a potential threat to society, so numerous rewards were posted for his capture or death in the MHD (Metahuman Department).
"Stupid humans, they think they can catch us...kekekeke." The parasite laughed as it thought about its next meal.
"What are you going to do with your loot? "The parasite asked Seth.
Under his bed, in his safe, several kilograms of drugs and different firearms were hidden.
"I'll get rid of them soon, I'd even rather keep them forever than give them to the corrupt police...."
Corruption was everywhere, if even the society's heroes were blinded by greed and pleasure, how could normal people remain in the background?
Everyone knew that the Sky City commissar had ties to criminal gangs, but with all the power he had and being such a powerful metahuman, no one dared to dispute him.
"Now I have power as well...but I will use it to rob the power from others..." Seth thought while calling on the phone.
"Yes?" Responded a lovely voice.
Seth's appearance changed immediately after being covered by the parasite in a matter of seconds, after several weeks of adaptation, their synergy had increased.
"It's me." Seth said in a hoarse, monstrous voice.
"Oh, I thought I was just a tissue to use and throw away for you...I'm glad you need my help again." Noelle said as she whispered sweetly on the phone.
"Cut the crap and tell me the next target."
"Okay, don't be like that..."
...
"Hacked!" Noelle shouted with joy.
Over the past few weeks, Seth called Noelle who introduced herself as a computer security expert to discover the places where the city's gangs met.
Every few days, Seth went out to feed the parasite and get stronger.
After consuming the blood and flesh of several metahumans, Seth noticed an increase in all his capabilities, like a drug, he began to be in ecstasy with this feeling of strengthening.
But his continuous attacks caused these figures to hide even more deeply, that's when he remembered Noelle and asked her for help with his nocturnal snacks, and it was the beginning of their crazy relationship.
"Go to the address I just sent you...and be careful, Billy Blood Hands is not called like that for painting his room in red... "Noelle muttered.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine..."
He hung up the call and his shadow disappeared into the night's darkness.
...
"..."
A voluminous but light shadow entered into an industrial warehouse protected by armed men.
"They are just a couple of armed fools... "Seth muttered as he looked inside the industrial warehouse with his white eyes.
Billy Blood Hands was a metahuman wanted by numerous states around the world, he used his power, blood control, to kill many important people for money, he then founded a criminal gang and settled in Sky City.
"Why are there so many rats in Sky City? And why doesn't anyone do anything when they have the resources?" Seth thought while looking for his target.
A pale and scrawny man came out of a door with other armed men, there was no doubt who this man was.
"There he is..." Seth muttered before smiling...
