Iron Fighter #3

APARAX Headquarters The Past...

“I didn’t sign up for this! This is insane! What are you people doing here?” said James starting to panic.

“Listen, James, we did not mean to startle you from your work. I assure you our tests are not as barbaric as they look so your self a favor and go home and get some rest.” said Krasnov in an assuring voice. The guards helped to escort James out of the room and then down the hallway.

“Sir what do we do now?” a lab technician approach him.

“We inform Arthur about our misfortunate experiment.” he said looking to where the guards had fallen.

The Present...

“I don’t understand what is happening in this city. There is a facility or “Circus” of Metahumans placed in the city as a form of entertainment. The problem is how to infiltrate it.” Iron Fighter said looking at a layout of the facility.

“You focus to much on the seen reality you forgot to look at the unseen.” said Overdose sitting on the floor of his cell.

“You know what I don’t get a man of your abilities becomes obsessed with power and injects himself with drugs to gain strength knowing that the consequences will kill him.” he said getting close to the cell and getting agitated.

“Are you challenging me?” Overdosed replies.

“Maybe. Want to test your might? In ten seconds I’m opening this cell and I’m going to kick your sorry hide. I’m not going to show any mercy.” he replied angrily.

“Than do it!” he yelled back. Iron Fighter then pressed a button and the doors opened with him charging in and beating on Overdose mercilessly.

“You think a few hits of your suit is going to stop me.” he said spitting up blood.

“No, but I’m going to make you feel some pain!!!!!” he said throwing a kick at him.

“Rahhh!” Overdose screamed while taking a fist to the stomach.

“ I’m going to break you!” he said hoisting him up and slamming him into some equipment.

The Past...

“What on earth was that!” James said while sinking into his chair at his house.

“Perhaps I can shed some light on that.” as a figure of a person walked out from the shadows.

“ Who are you?!” he said jumping out of his chair scared out of his mind, but then tripped and fell onto the floor.

“Somebody who understands your pursuit of justice.” the man said while reaching out his hand to James.

“Wait aren’t you the escaped subject I saw today. Why are you here?” said James slowly getting up from the floor.

“I’m here to help get you answers and to eradicate APRAX, but first you will need a suit.” the man replied.

“What should I call you?” he said slowly becoming less scared.

“ I’m not quite sure yet, but I think this X on my suit should be a part of my name.” replied the man stepping into the light.

“So we’re staging a break in?” he replied.

“ I wouldn’t say break in. I would call it more of a heist.” the man in the suit replied.
