"Sion... skipping class on the first day?" May had already gotten word from the school about his little excursion. Midtown High is a prestigious school, and any sort of truancy is reported immediately so that the behavior is corrected before it gets any worse.
May wanted Sion to tell her the truth, but there was absolutely no way he could tell her.
"I don't have an excuse," Sion replied. "But...It won't happen again." It was a lie, but there was no way he could promise such a thing.
May simply looked at the blonde-haired boy and sighed. She knew he was hiding something, but she didn't want to push the issue. After the death of her husband, she's learned to be a bit more observant, she even knows that Peter is hiding something.
'Hopefully, it's nothing dangerous...' May hoped.
"Alright...just don't let it happen again." She said, gently patting his head. It was a bit awkward, but Sion didn't move away so it must be ok.
After her very short interrogation, Sion went into his and Peter's room where the teenager was starting on his homework.
"Hey, Sion. Did Aunt May give you the signature stare?" Peter asked, putting down his school book.
"The stare?.." Sion looked puzzled.
"It's the one where she looks like this." Peter tries to imitate May, but it only came off as being funny.
"...." Sion simply stared at him in silence.
"Ah-Nevermind." He awkwardly laughed.
"...Hey! Who did you get as a homeroom teacher? I sadly got Mr.Rogers...no one likes him because he smells like old gym socks...or is that just how old people smell?-"
"I'm gonna go for walk," Sion said, placing his bag down by the bed.
"Oh...Hah...Oh hey did you know Mary Jane Watson was asking about you? When did you get to know her?" Peter curiously asked. He had a sort of crush on her, so he wanted to know what he was up against.
"Who?" The name sounded familiar to Sion, but he never bothered to remember the person's name.
"Ooo ouch, man," Peter said, making a painful expression. "Don't let her know that." He added with a chuckle.
"I don't plan on it," Sion replied as he left the room.
"I feel like I should be hurt but I'm just too stunned," Peter mumbled. "Now how to deal with that Black Cat...she keeps escaping."
•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°
After leaving the apartment, Sion went on a casual stroll. It was still early in the day and so the city was still lively.
["Nova...start talking.."] He demanded.
["I'm not allowed to explain I-"]
["Not allowed to explain?..."] He lowered his head, bawling his fists as his killing intent started to leak out almost like a broken faucet. People, animals, and even the tiniest of insects started to unconsciously avoid him.
["Not allowed to-NOT ALLOWED TO EXPLAIN?! WHAT DO YOU MEAN NOT ALLOWED TO EXPLAIN?!" HOW LONG MUST I REMAIN IN THE DARK?!] Sion mentally shouted.
["It is something that only the goddess wishes to explain.."]
["Right! Of COURSE! Why didn't I realize that?!"] He gritted his teeth in anger as he suddenly disappears from his current position, dashing in the direction of the factory that had been abandoned.
He needed to get as far away from people as possible and fast before he does something out of his control.
What was going on with him?
["Nova-"]
"You done messed with the wrong people girlie."
"Whatever! You're all just a bunch of pussies anyway! You need all these people to jump just one little girl!"
"What'd ya say?! You Bitch!!"
Sion suddenly overheard an altercation as he was reaching the bad part of the city where drugs and violence run rampant. The place was left mostly unchecked, unlike Hell's Kitchen where there have been sightings of a guy dressed in a devil costume beating criminals up.
There was even a recent hero by the name of Spiderman aka Peter Parker who has been spotted around the area, but he is known to swing around all parts of New York City instead of staying in one spot.
Overall it was a good thing, but it left a lot of areas unchecked allowing things such as this fight between a blond-haired girl and five rough-looking men.
"You fuckin bitch! Stay still!!"
"Fuck you!!"
Sion recognized the girl's voice as she was using it the entire day to pester him with questions about his personal life.
Kiden Nixon!
If Gwen Stacy was a model student then she would be the polar opposite!
It was a true wonder how Kiden was still in school with how she lived her day-to-day life.
She was a party goer, going to parties almost every night with her friends, taking drugs just to spice up things a little. The girl was even known to steal, stealing from a local general store, and even from her own mother to get what she wants which typically were cigarettes.
Kiden was on the fast track to jail as she spiraled more and more out of control.
But strangely enough despite all her bad traits she still possessed values.
"Kick her ass!!" The leader commanded. His name was Hector, a petty thug that has been making problems in the area recently.
Four decently built men then surrounded Kiden in the alleyway, backing her up against a trash bin with nowhere to go.
However instead of letting them do what they want...
She decided to move first!
"Fuck YOU!!" exploded Kiden, sending her right foot straight between the closest guy's legs on striking his family jewels.
"AHHH!!" The man screamed as he fell to his knees.
Seeing this angered the other three, and immediately they charged at her.
"You bitch!" One of the men shouted, throwing a punch toward Kiden's face while another on her right went for her abdomen.
Kiden wasn't a fighter, but she managed to avoid the first attack, unfortunately, it left her open to the second attack.
*Bam* The fist connected with her stomach, knocking the wind out of her, pushing her back into the arms of the third thug.
"Let me go you fucker!!" Ignoring the pain, Kiden forced herself to bend down slightly and ram her head into the man's chin.
"AGHH!!!!" The man howled in pain. The impact made him bite his tongue hard enough to draw blood.
Seeing that the man let go of her, Kiden wanted to take advantage of the situation and grabbed hold of his face, yanking it down just enough to slam her knee against his face.
Unfortunately, she never got the chance as the two other thugs grabbed both of her arms and pulled her off of their comrade.
"You pussies! Fight me one on one! Ah-" The adrenaline-fueled girl was suddenly forced to her knees, leaving her wide open for an attack.
And the man with the bitten tongue happily obliged.
*Bam* The man didn't hold back even a little bit when his fist connected with her face.
"Stupid bitch!" The man growled, gripping her hair before throwing another punch at her face.
"Agh!!" Kiden groaned as the strike caused a laceration in her mouth forcing her to taste her own blood.
"What do you say now?!"
"...You hit like a bitch!" She spat, expelling the blood from her mouth as she glared at him.
"You!-"
He then pulled back for another punch and decided to use even more strength in this one as he still didn't feel satisfied.
"Die you!-"
"Enough! Out of the way!" Hector commanded to which the guy begrudgingly obeys. He then walks towards her, placing his hands in the pockets of his hoodie before squatting down in front of her.
"So, do you regret it now?" He sneered, grabbing her chin as he leaned in close.
*Bam!* Kiden moved her head forward, viciously headbutting Hector's face.
"AHHH! MY NOSE!" He yelped, covering his nose as blood started to leak from his nostrils. "YOU BROKE MY NOSE!!"
"Hahahaha! One hits like a bitch and another one acts like a bitch. Why don't you go cry home to momma and suck on her saggy ass tits!" Kiden mocked while laughing. She felt a bit dizzy from the blow, but the result was worth it.
"If you're going to kill me then do it already fucker!" She scowled.
"That's IT!" Hector pulls out a 9mm Glock from his pocket and points it at the blond's face after turning the safety off. "You're gonna die for a person who left you behind! HOW DOES THAT FEEL?!"
"I don't care...I'll do it all again for her.," Kiden smirked as her defiant blue eyes stared directly into the barrel of the gun.
Hector frowned, "No one's gonna recognize your pretty face." He began to pull back the trigger to shoot the girl right in her face. An action that should be instantaneous, but somehow...
Someone was even faster.
*Bang!* The metal bullet escaped the chamber of the gun only to find that it missed its target surprising everyone as Hector was only inches away.
"Wha-" He couldn't even voice his confusion as he found his arm was twisted in an ugly fashion with a loud crack.
"MY ARM!!" Hector cried out in great pain, dropping the gun to the floor, gritting his teeth as he held his now broken arm.
"Ah..." One of the gang members happened to catch a glimpse of the person who injured their boss, but he was too afraid to even breathe as his entire body turned cold.
A hooded man with a black bandana wrapped around his face stood behind Hector like a silent predator, no one even saw him come in.
°•°•°°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•
Kiden could only watch as her attackers were being beaten senseless by the hooded man, they didn't stand a chance.
Screams of pain resonated in her ear as their arms, legs, and whatever else were brutally mangled despite their pleas for mercy. Their cries were ignored as the man continued to attack them, ignoring any sure way of ending their life as if he wanted them to suffer.
Once they were all unable to move, Sion walked towards the first man he injured, Hector. The poor guy got the worst of the beating as all of his limbs were broken, rendering him unable to move.
"W-wait, P-PLEASE! We won't hurt her anymore! I swear! Just please stop!!" Hector screamed as a foul-smelling yellow liquid started to expel from his pants.
He was peeing on himself out of fear.
["You're not gonna stop me?"] Sion mentally asked Nova, ignoring the man's plea as he stepped on his face with his left foot, applying a bit of pressure.
["You aren't in the suit. I can't do anything. I'm only here to make sure you complete your trials and follow the goddess's instructions."] Nova replied.
["You!"] He gritted his teeth and applied even more pressure to Hector's face, threatening to crush his head open like a mere watermelon.
"P-please..." Hector weakly cried out as tears streamed down his bloodied face. He truly didn't want to die as there were still a few things he wanted to accomplish in his life.
People usually think that people like him don't have dreams, and they get off from the suffering of others. However, that just wasn't true as the majority of gang members have no choice but to join gangs to survive in this cruel world.
It, of course, didn't give him a pass for all the robbing and killing he has done in his life, but it at least had to count for something right?
Hector started to regret everything he has done and thought maybe if he found another way to live then he wouldn't have to die so horribly.
He wouldn't have to leave his family behind...
He...
"Stop!"
Sion frowned at hearing the voice and turned around to look at the injured blond who was wobbling to her feet.
'Why am I stopping him? That fucker deserves to die!... But..' Kiden's thoughts were in a mess and she nearly froze from fear after being glared at with those piercing green eyes. The image of those eyes would always be with her for as long as she lived.
She was never the type to pay attention to things, and yet looking into those eyes she could see so much rage. One that made her question her decision to stop the man in the first place.
However, she saw something else behind those eyes that solidify her decision, something that was all too familiar to her as she sees it every time she looks in the mirror.
"Y-you can stop...You don't have to do this.." Kiden said, her eyes glistening with tears as she stretched her hand towards him.
Something odd started to happen as Kiden approached him, it was as if everything started to slow down.
'Time!' Sion immediately moved away. He studied the girl's face ever so slowly as if he was trying to find out if she had any ill intent, there was none.
Soon after, the fire that was ablaze within him started to go out, and his body started to visibly relax.
'What is going on with me?...' He thought as his mind regained clarity.
°•°•°°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•
In a place filled with darkness, there was a throne made out of gold that would be familiar to Sion as it was the throne the goddess sat in while she trained him.
"Haha...Hahahaha...HAHAHAHA!" A burst of crazed laughter that seemed to shake the entire area came from the goddess who was sitting at the steps that lead to her throne.
"Do you see that? Your champion was stopped by a mere girl! And after all that effort you put into him to prepare him! It's so laughable! He couldn't even control 5 no 2 percent of our power! What makes you think he'll be strong enough when the time comes?"
"You believe in him?...HAHAHA!"
It seemed as if the goddess was having a conversation with someone, but only she would know who she was talking to.
"Let's see how far your belief will get him. You baby him with that belt you gave him...if he couldn't handle that power then he deserves to be devoured by it!" The goddess roared.
Soon after her outburst, the goddess turned silent, peering out into the darkness that seemed to go on forever. If one paid close attention to her face then one would see a line similar to a crack appear on her beautiful face.
"Soon.." She whispered.
°•°•°•°•°•°•°°•°
The incident with Kiden ended as fast as it started, the men were lucky to be alive after their confrontation with what they believed to be a monster in human skin.
Although, some good came out of this as they all decided to change their ways no matter the cost, becoming a small group that helped struggling local children in their area.
But that was a story for another time.
Kiden who was left behind to answer questions from the cops could hardly talk as the blond felt completely lost.
The cops arrived right when she felt she could talk to her savior after they were called about hearing a gunshot in the area. She knew that they were just doing their job, but she felt a bit pissed off about being interrupted.
However, now that things calmed down she couldn't help but think that the guy that saved her felt familiar. 'It couldn't be him right?... Hmm.' The blond thought as she was being driven to the hospital by her mother.
She glanced at the beautiful woman that birthed her and her siblings. The one that was still trying to hold everything together despite everything that happened to her. It wasn't easy to carry on as a single parent especially when the decision wasn't by choice.
"I'm sorry mom..." Kiden muttered.
"Huh?.." The woman nearly crashed her car after hearing those words coming from her daughter. At first, she thought she may have been hearing things, but seeing the tears run down her daughter's banged-up face made her think otherwise.
"Oh, Kiden it's not your fault..." The woman tenderly said. Although she has been rebellious for the past several years, she still is her daughter through and she cared about her deeply as a mother should.
"I-I'm sorry mom.." The blonde said again, her voice beginning to crack as she tried to wipe away her tears with the sleeves of her jacket.
"Oh..no no.. don't sweety.." Tears started to flow from the woman's eyes as she reached over to pull her daughter into a side hug, squeezing her tight while she continued to drive.
They stayed in this position all the way to the hospital.
During that time Sion had finally arrived home.
He had blood on his clothing so he couldn't just walk through the front door, luckily Peter leaves the window to their room unlocked. He swiftly made the climb, making sure Peter wasn't in the room before entering inside.
Once inside, he immediately shredded his clothes off, shoving them into his empty laundry bag.
He'll need to get rid of them later.
After grabbing a set of new clothes, he rushes to the bathroom to take a long hot shower.
"Hah... I really messed up."
°•°•°•°•°•°•°°•°
The next day, Midtown High was shocked as Kiden of all people was actually making an effort to listen in class. A sight that brought a tear to her teacher's eyes.
Unfortunately, she still possessed a foul mouth...
"What the fuck are letters doing in math?! Solve for x and y?! Who the FUCK came up with this?!!"
