Sudden Interruption

The girl behind was too overwhelmed by the pain to notice the dead body flopping to the ground and landing with a sickening thud. It was only after Logan came to her side again that she looked up, her teary eyes bloodshot.

She tried to control herself, but she ended up whimpering uncontrollably.

Logan felt his heart constrict.

He untied the rope binding the girl and helped her up. But on second thought, he dropped her again.

"Don't go anywhere, I'll be right back," Logan ordered and shot through the door, slamming it close behind him.

The girl's scream had alerted every member of the Red Viper in the building, so he knew he had limited time to find a proper escape route to take the girl through. But first, he needed to deal with the Red Vipers that were already close by.

Logan needed space to go all out. He had never fought while protecting someone before, so he didn't know if he was capable and left her behind instead.

He felt the gravitational waves ahead of him shift, and he prepared to engage whoever was coming.

His batons sparked brighter, and a Red Viper rounded the corner ahead, their gun nowhere to be found and their face maskless.

The female Red Viper gang member licked her cracked black lips, staring at Logan like he was a piece of juicy meat.

"Come here little boy?" She screamed and charged ahead, moving with a speed that was slightly above average.

Logan cocked his head. "I'm bigger than you," he said, though he didn't drop his guard for a second.

It turned out to be a good thing that he didn't, because the next second the lady's body bulged, and she grew into a three meter tall titan with bluish skin and pupils, with the whites of her eyes turning as black as her lips.

Her long split tongue rolled out of her mouth and licked at her chin. She grabbed at her clothing and pulled, tearing off her black uniform and revealing the stretchy bodysuit hugging her alluring and voluptuous curves.

Logan wasn't moved by this, because his face was focused on her bodily movements.

The titan lady moved, and the ground cracked, crumbling under the sheer force as she appeared before Logan, swinging her large blue fist at him.

Logan tapped his feet on the ground, and he shot back nimbly, narrowly escaping the attack as the fist whizzed past his body.

In the same manner he tapped his feet again, and he shot forward, performing a double swing with his batons, their stun effect activating and his gravitational energy wrapping around it tightly.

The lady laughed and moved to parry the batons, but what she didn't know was that the batons were no ordinary weapons. They were specially made for the Reed household.

Metal and flesh met, and the flesh deformed, splitting apart under the incredible weight behind the attack.

The muscle behind followed suit, tearing mercilessly, before the bones cracked and shattered, the fragments turning into dust and the blue blood evaporating into a fog.

The titan lady didn't scream or show a pained expression, instead, she stared at the arm incredulously, before her brows raised.

"Reed?" She asked, her brows raising.

Logan stayed silent.

"I've fought with your father before, so don't even bother answering," she said. "There's only one person I know that has used a baton so heavy before, and since you don't have his physique but have his powers, you must be his failure of a son… Logan."

Logan saw red upon hearing that statement and almost attacked her irrationally, but the watch, baton and technological spatial device he had all seemed to jolt him awake when they sensed his emotional state.

Logan smiled. 'Good thing I added those modifications to my equipments.'

The titan lady moved, swinging her one good arm at Logan.

Logan, though calm, was still not happy with the lady for what she said, so he dodged under her wild attack and used his baton to throw her off balance, then as she fell, he connected a kick with her butt, sending her sprawling on the ground.

A shot rang out again, and a bullet ripped through his Gravitational Aura of Repulsion, pierced into his skin by an inch before flying back towards the attacker.

This time around, the shooter wasn't so lucky and received the bullet right in their eye, dying instantly.

Logan spun around, watching the unfortunate man falling to the ground with a dying green glow in his eyes.

Before he could turn back to finish off the titan lady though, he caught sight of two more Red Vipers raising their guns to shoot.

9 shots reverberated in the building, and Logan ran up the wall, moving through the narrow corridor and out of the way of the bullets.

The titan lady followed him from behind, the tail she had seemingly just grown whipping behind her and breaking a wall.

She sent a kick towards Logan, moving as if she was about to kick a ball.

But without even looking back, Logan met her kick with his two feet, using her momentum to boost himself forward.

The titan lady widened her eyes, but she smiled nonetheless. The battle was just getting interesting.

"Coward! Your father fought me head on and never ran away!" She screamed, trying to taunt Logan.

The person being targeted, however, didn't react to her words like she wanted him to. 'If you had fought him head on, you wouldn't be alive. Dad would never spare an enemy.'

A hail of bullets came from the attackers ahead, and unable to tank them all, he latched onto a doorless room's door's hinges and pulled himself into the room.

The titan lady charged into the room, crossing her arms as she did and kicking out at the same time.

Logan sidestepped, then whacked her leg to the side. She brought down her arm on Logan's head, the air around her fist splitting apart.

'Her movements are too easy to read,' Logan thought, timing his attack.

He winded out of the way of the crushing blow, before returning it with a swing of his own.

The baton hit the titan lady squarely on her jaw, and her head jerked backwards, resulting in her falling out of the room.

'More power.'

The second baton clasped with the first, and they appeared to fuse into one large one. The air bent as it descended rapidly, and then…

A spear of ice streaked through the air, and Logan stumbled.
