    Name: ManEater
    Affiliation: Villain
    Traits and Abilities: Cannibal psychopath, refuses to eat anything but human flesh and refers to every victim as being liberated from their dark lives.
    Info: ManEater is a very dangerous criminal and murderer. He not only brutally murders his victims but also eats parts of their body. His motivation is unclear but what the authorities can gather is that he is no better than an intellegent animal, able to plan and stalk his prey only to attack and eat them as if he was a wild animal. His victims dont look human after he is finished with them and the only warning he gives to his prey is his heavy breathing of excitement as he appraochs them.

    While I have been busy with exams and essays I have had a few ideas for new stories to do in my spare time. Now one that kept on my mind was a story based on the world of the Video game Fallout. It would be just some ideas of things i think are happening in the post war wasteland and a character that i came up with a long time ago.
    It would center around a characters journey throughout the wastelands and be written in a mixture of narrative and Journal form similar so he would be narrating his travels but he may not be in the same place as he was in the last update(Of course this is just the first few ideas)
    What he would run into would be:
    1. A new Form of KKK that hunTs down ghouls instead of Afrcan Americans. Lets face it racism will be around for a long time and its already touched upon in the game. You always meet people in the game that show some form of hatred towards ghouls, so there has to be a radical group in the Wasteland somewhere that hates ghouls as much as the NCR hate the Legion
    2. A Cult led by a man who calls himself the Savior . Something that appears to be even more frequent in these games is the topic of religion or a cult, so why hasnt anyone taken it one step further and made a cult of some kind. Considering the mentality of people and how they would love something to follow it is an interesting topic to discuss in the fallout universe.
    3. Mexican Cartel still running and the Border Patrol. A while ago i was playing a mod on New Vegas that featured ghoulified soldiers from Area 51. Upon closer inspection of the backstory of the mod I found that the soldiers were attacking me out of their sense of duty to protect the base. So then the idea of the border patrol came to me. Imagine Ghoulified individuals leading a bunch of people to stop or kill individuals coming over the border. As for the Cartel I doubt being ghoulified or a nuclear fallout would stop them from running Jet or Psycho or perhaps a new drug across the border
    4. NYC, Chicago, and Texas. These are random but interesting cities that would have been affect by the Nuclear fallout.

    Some other ideas are floating about but not really expanded upon. I would really like some feedback if you could give it and if you have any thoughts or questions say so. For the record this may not even be written Unless im sure its a good idea.

    (Revamped Character Cap)
    Name: Cap (real name unknown)
    Affiliation: Anti-Hero/Nomad
    Traits and Abilities: Ability to survive any form of narcotic, and carries satchels of small pills and chemicals that he randomly
    Mixes and consumes that in turn depending on the mixture gives him different powers.Is unable to consume more than two combinations a day or he will die.
    Info: One of the more morally questionable “heroes” Cap believes in his own set of moral’s. His abilities change with the combination of chemicals he takes in. The chemicals themselves are usually in short supply due his unlucky streak of getting into trouble at the worst of times. His only disadvantage is that he himself is never quite sure on the outcome of his powers which works greatly against him. Some of his powers can come in handy at times while others cannot. An example would be when he was pinned down by a group of hitmen and by taking the chemicals found the result was his nails could grow longer faster.He also appears to have a form of friendship with fellow hero Omega, which none can really understand.

    (Sorry for the late update but due to college exams and essays I am held up creatively. I hope to update the stories on a more regular basis as I did before when my semester is over)

    Dudley woke up the next morning to the sound of 80’s pop music being played over his radio. His body was still in pieces over the combination of a bullet wound and the beating his brother Richard gave him last night. Slowly Dudley got out of bed and put on his clothe’s. He knew what would be waiting for him the second he left the room. He was going to walk downstairs and be greeted with angry parents who wanted to know what had gotten into him and how they could help. The first time in month’s they would actually give him the time of day would be now,after he had made a mess of Richard’s face and stood up for himself. The thought of being questioned about his behavior and why he did what he did made his blood boil. Why did Dudley hit the man that was insulting him? Oh because he felt like it. Dudley was the Black sheep not because of his actions but because he didnt make the family look as good as his siblings did, and this was something he knew all his life. Letting out a sigh Dudley closed his eyes and walked out of his room towards what he could assume was going to be a long ass day.

    Lucy sat down across the table from Sharky as they enjoyed their coffee and discussed old time’s. The coffee was bitter and the atmosphere was full of idiots talking like they had experienced the world’s glory at least three time’s. Lucky for Lucy she was with one of the craziest women she had ever met in her life. Sharky had been arrested more times than most other people had in a lifetime and had gotten away with it because her brother was some kind of Judge and father was a cop.
    “So Loose Lucy is a now Nurse Mayberry. Who would have guessed you, of all people would be a nurse?” Sharky said with a smile taking a drag of her lit cigarette.
    “Says the kindergarten teacher.” Lucy said with a smile across her face.
    “Touche. Ever miss the old days?” Sharky said finishing off her cigarette.
    “What do you mean?” Lucy said looking confused
    “The Wild bunch” Sharky said as she looked across the cafe.
    “Sometimes. What are you looking at?” Lucy asked looking at Sharky.
    “Is that Dudley Bradshaw over there?”Sharky asked as Lucy turned around in the direction Sharky was staring.
    She was right. Across the small cafe was the infamous Dudley Bradshaw drinking a coffee. The question why he was in this side of town alone was what interested Lucy at this moment, but Sharky was wondering if she was capable of getting inside his pants. Lucy never saw the appeal in Dudley Bradshaw to women. He was trouble and obviously had some issues that needed to be resolved. Was there some kind of switch in the minds of women that make them go after bad guys? Then again she had no right to judge. She was in love with a vigilante who called himself Mr. Satan. When did her life become a comic book?
    “Lets go over and talk to him” Sharky said finishing her coffee.
    “What makes you think he wants to talk to us?” Lucy said starting to get sick of this topic.
    “For one he has been looking over here since he sat down.” Sharky said to Lucy with a smirk on her face.
    Hearing this Lucy looked behind her and saw that Dudley Bradshaw was indeed looking at them.

    Dudley began to get nervous as the woman he had woken up next to not twenty four hours prior to this moment was now walking towards him with a woman who looked like she would be more at home around leather and chains. His stomach grew tight as his mind tormented him with the reasons she could be coming over for. This happened because he wanted to cut out of his usual routine and for some reason come to this side of this damn town. Sweat was pumping out of him from his armpits as they got closer and closer to his table. It was too late to run away now. If he got up and left now they would know he was up to something, after all he just spent the last ten minutes staring at them. His breathing quickened and suddenly his path of thought was broken by one of them speaking.
    “Hey your Dudley Bradshaw right?” The strange one said as the familiar one stood behind her looking annoyed.
    “Yes I am..And you two are?” Dudley asked faking a smile as he looked at the two women.
    “Oh I’m Sally,friends call me Sharky…” She said with a wink and pause as if giving Dudley the opportunity to absorb her name and face before finishing her sentence.
    “AndthisisLucy” Sharky said rather quickly.
    “Would you two like to join me?” Dudley said not expecting them to actually stay in his company.
    “Oh we would love to! Wouldn’t we Lucy?” Sharky said giving Lucy no chance to object.
    The both sat down and so began what Dudley believed was to be the most awkward coffee he had ever had in his life.

    Mr. Satan suddenly gained control of Dudley. Why, he didn’t know. What he did know was he was wearing something incredibly uncomfortable and was having what he assumed was lunch with Lucy and a stranger. This wasnt good. Mr. Satan would have to act as if he was Dudley.
    “So The Devil man?..What do you guys think of think of him?” The stranger said.
    “Sharky I don’t know if that the kind of topic Mr. Bradshaw wants to discuss.” Lucy said revealing the strangers name to be Sharky.
    “I don’t know about that Lucy” Mr. Satan said hoping her name was already mentioned.
    “What?”Lucy said in a scoff.
    “You have an opinion about the vigilante?” Lucy said in a tone that challenged Mr.Satan’s statement.
    “Yes I do.And I would appreciate you keeping your opinion of me to yourself Lucy.” Mr.Satan said smiling taking great pleasure in being a stronger more confident Dudley
    This statement brought silence to the table. While Sharky felt herself become more attracted to Dudley, Lucy was feeling like she was just insulted by someone she had very little respect for.
    “Okay Mr. Tough Guy what do you think of the Devil man? Let me guess. He’s a criminal or no better than that of the men he takes down?” Lucy said with a wicked smile across her face.
    “Actually I think the polar opposite.” Mr. Satan said looking at Lucy.
    “Really? I’m actually surprised at that Mr. Bradshaw.” Sharky said as she smiled at the confident rich man.
    “So what do you think of him ?” Lucy asked still not convinced of Mr. Satan’s words.
    “I think he has the right Idea. God knows this city has gone to hell and I think it was rather clever of someone seeing this and coming up with a Devil persona. Of course he has to be some kind of Madman with a hell of a death wish to do it.” Mr.Satan said as he began to fake laughing.
    With that said Lucy got up from her chair and stormed off out of the cafe. Sharky looking concerned followed her and left Mr. Satan alone in the cafe to his own thoughts and questions.

    Thought that I should add some short peice of the story into the choices.
    1. Version 1.0 = A story in which a scientist plants his brain in an experimental robot made for the government. He is now stalked by the government agents while trying to live a normal life.
    “I woke up and surveyed the cold white coloured room. I thought it was all a dream, like something I had dreamt up in some sort of masochistic lesson not to play God. I was just fooling myself.My life as I knew it was over and that was something I had to accept. This realisation came to me when i raised my right hand and the pink soft skin that once covered it was replaced by cold blue steel.”

    2. The Golden Age= A Multi-story about the vigilantes of the world during the world war and how they effected the countries or states they protected.

    3. The Last Laugh = A story cantered around a joker-like hero. A hero called the clown whose mind is almost shattered by trauma he has suffered. His views on right and wrong are hazed by his own mental instability.
    “He looked into the mirror and thought of what they did. They forced him to laugh as they killed his family in front of them. They wanted him to laugh at their deaths as they beat him to an inch of his life and threw him off the pier. He punched the mirror and it shattered around his fist. Blood ran down his fist like a river and he saw the badge in the cracked glass. They were going to regret letting him live.”

    4. The Storm Caller = A story cantering around my first ever hero idea Blitz. With numerous Lightning powers he patrols the city as both a superhero and an officer of the law. He is out to rid the city of crime for his dead parents and for the people of the city.

    5. S.T.A.R.S (Special –Taskforce- Against- Rogue- Super beings) = about a group of soldiers who have been either scientifically enhanced or granted superhuman abilities through other means. They are a team of men whose mission is to stop terrorist acts around the world. Each member is from a different country and each has unique abilities. There are five active members of the stars excluding their commanding officer. This idea came to me slowly.
    Each character was originally an idea for a separate hero but I could never get the feel that they would survive on their own. So I put them all in a team together.
    “The old Englishman lifts the young American soldier off the ground and flipped him over his shoulder. The rest of the team watched in shock completely unaware of Major Quartermain’s abilities in hand to hand combat.
    ‘Still think you can take me on boy?’ The major said smiling down at Inferno
    Helping the young soldier up the Major turned to the group and smiled. With a pleasent tone in his voice he said “Welcome to the STAR unit gentlemen. “

    6. Justice for all? =A Hero that has everything taken from him, convicted of crimes he didn’t commit and imprisoned behind bars. His story centres on his time in prison and what he does when he gets out. He finds out his enemies have made it big as crime lords to each section of the city and the police are in their pockets. His face is forgotten after being in hiding for a year plotting a way to take back this city and get revenge for what had happened to him. In a nutshell what happens when someone who protects, who is place so high on the podium, is brought down to rock bottom for no reason and how he deals with it? I had thought of this story for some time and after reading some crime novels and things like that, I wondered how someone who stood for justice would deal with this situation.

    As said in my story “As Cold as Ice” I have been thinking about changing Ices Costume From the original:
    Ice.jpg

    I have created three new outfits for her and would like some kind of feedback so I know what costume best suits her:
    1. Punk Rock Lover Ice
    This look was inspired by the fact she has her own cloths now and can mix and match to her own desire. Her hair is short to
    look more punk and I have created a fictional band that is seen in her outfit.
    iCE2.png
    2. Classic hero Look Ice.
    This was an attempt at making Ice have a more silver age/classic super hero outfit for Ice. As a result we have a classic mix
    of Blue and white and a more feminine look.
    Ice-3.png
    3. Black and Blue look
    While staying close to my original design of Ice I decided to expand on it making it more badass looking yet feminine. This was
    one of the first new designs I made for her new costume and includes the helmet she wears while on her bike.

    Ice pulled on a shirt and looked at Omega with contempt. Closing the door behind him, he slowly approached her and took off his mask. For someone who acted as cocky as Omega he wasnt extremely handsome as one would have expected. He wasnt ugly either. Mary Cranes article “fans” which ranged from women aged fifteen to forthy would classify him as “Average” or “bland”. That being said he somehow had the confidence of a model. Ice wondered was he always as confident or did it come after he got his powers. The silence was broken when he spoke.
    “So…you met Cap..” Omega said now maskless.
    “Whose Cap?” Ice asked until it hit her he was talking about Capsule.
    “Um…yeah..why did you take your mask..” Ice said confused as to his actions.
    “I apologise for his actions and I am sure when the berserker effects wear off he will be sorry too” Omega explained.
    “Berserker effects?” Ice asked questioning Omegas involvement.
    “Yeah see…” Omega started.
    “Earlier today I was checking out the city. Since Alpha went home I got none to have any…”He stopped for a minute and then continued.
    “..Well not fun he’s kinda a boring know it all asshole… but I don’t have any companionship. So anyway I was beating the crap out of some thug who tried to rob an old lady when I look across the street and there’s Cap. I hadn’t seen him in about a year and I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to say Hi.” Omega went on before Ice cut in.
    “How do you know Capsule?” Ice asked looking at Omega.
    “Oh we met about a year ago in GridLine city. He and I teamed up for a while and became good friends as a result. He had to leave after a while and continue his search for whatever he’s looking for.” Omega said as he looked at Ice.
    “But back to the story. So we got to talking and decided we would go have a few drinks. So after about the tenth round some redneck comes over and says ‘Hey freaks! Comic book shops three blocks away”. This of course pissed off Cap. he took two pills to out of his jacket and told me if he got any crappy power take care of the redneck. I agreed because at the time we were quite drunk. So he took the pills and he got the power of a berserker. In other words when he got angry his strength increased one hundred fold. So after the fight we came back here and I sobered up enough to stop him from killing you…” Omega finished looking at Ice
    “Why?” Ice asked.
    “My face was itchy” Omega said as he got up and walked towards the door.
    “What?” Ice said annoyed.
    Omega put on his mask and walked out the door leaving Ice on her own in the room. Her body still feeling extremely hot she fell back on the bed trying to get some sleep.

    As Ice sat on her bed, feeling a train had just ran into her jaw, she thought back to Omega saving her. Was there a reason he would stand up to the man named Capsule for her? She also wondered why her heart suddenly felt like she was on fire. Sweat was pouring from her head and her body,but she didn’t know why? Could it be the nanomachine’s acting up again? She began taking off some of her clothing due to her rising temperature.
    “Oh God its so damn hot in here!!” She screamed as she felt he body become warm.
    Ice tried to think of a reason why she would be feeling so warm, but her mind couldn’t think straight. Her body felt like it was boiling the beads of sweat on her arms and she could feel them pop. This wasn’t the nanomachine’s it was something else that was doing this to her. Her body suddenly snapped up in reflex as she heard the door open. Her eyes met the bruised eyes of a man whose name she knew well by now.
    “Omega?” She asked calmly.
    “Wanna put something on sweet cheeks?” He said in his smug manner forcing Ice to realise that she was in fact topless.

    The room had no sound in it except for the breathing of the two individuals sitting across from each other. Ice felt her stomach twist and turn in fear as Tech repeated his words to her.
    “You are Mary Crane, aren’t you?” He said coldly.
    Ice felt her body tense up. What could she possibly say to save her in this situation? Was this the end of her career as a superhero? What was the point in telling him a lie. Knowing how Tech thought he probably had an army of his little superhero squad waiting for her outside to make some kind arrest on her person if she tried anything. Sighing heavily she looked him in the eye and confessed.
    “Yes I am” Ice said taking off her mask which she had worn since the night The Raven brought her to their base.
    Techs expression didn’t change. It looked as cold and emotionless as it always had. It was as if he was still awaiting an answer to his question and was listening carefully for it. Then he suddenly let out a sigh.
    “I hate being made a fool of..” He said in a defeated tone.
    “What are you going to do? Turn me in? Tell the others?” Ice asked not looking away from Tech even for a moment.
    “Why would I turn you in?Your secret is safe. I don’t think Raven would care to know your Mary Crane just when he has started to like Ice. Your innocent right?” Tech asked looking towards Mary.
    “Of course I am…But how are you so sure I’m not just lying?” Ice asked hoping she hadn’t shot herself in the foot with this question.
    “You didn’t have to help on any of our operations Ms.Crane, but you chose to. You even put yourself in harms way twice just to protect other people. I would be extremely surprised if you were responsible for the deaths of those people.” Tech said handing her some clothes that he must have taken from the bag she had earlier.
    “Why would you be surprised?” Ice asked now curious.
    “Because it wouldn’t be something i could predict..” Tech said now sounding like his old self.
    “What makes you so sure of your theory?” Ice asked now interested in Tech.
    “Its my..” he looked at Ice for a moment before finishing his sentence.
    “Superpower.” He answered.
    “What?” Ice said confused.
    “While most people can access one to ten percent of their brain..I can access one hundred percent of my own.” Tech said to Mary as she dressed herself.
    “Are you kidding me?” Ice asked in disbelief of his statement.
    “I rarely joke Ms. Crane. I have access to one hundred percent of my cranium and possess more knowledge than that of any living being on the planet.” Tech said as if he was discussing something trivial.
    “So wait…what do you do when your not working…I mean isn’t there anything that doesn’t bore you?” Ice said knowing that this was to be her last question to Tech.
    “Puzzles..” he said in a low tone.
    “Puzzles?” Ice said in an extremely confused tone.
    ” I can solve any equation made up of any set of numbers known to man…But I cant get two sides to match on a rubix cube” He said blushing for the first time in Ice’s company.
    Ice let out a loud shriek of laughter as Tech left the room. She slowly got up off the bed and put on her mask. She realised just because Tech knew who she was didn’t mean everyone had to know. She walked out of the room still giggling at the thought of Tech trying to solve a rubix cube.

    Ice walked towards the command room as she noticed a new face. He was not wearing a mask and had an abnormal amount of satchels and pockets. She approached him catously unsure if he was freind or foe. Suddenly she felt something on her shoulder.
    “Capsule this is who I was talking about…Ice meet Capsule” Raven said his hand on Ice’s shoulder.
    Capsule turned around and looked Ice up and down. He smiled perversly as if trying to picture her naked.
    “I’ll let you two get to know one another…” Raven said smiling as he left them alone.
    For some odd reason Ice would have prefered the company of Omega to this guy who had not stopped staring at her breasts since Raven introduced them.
    “Well Hello there ” Capsule said as if saying that to her would make her want to jump into his arms.
    “Whats your story? What can you do?” Ice said trying to hide her already grave dislike of him.
    “Well they call me capsule because any substance i take can give me a random power based on the combination. Thats what all these satchels are for. All of them contain different capsules and give me different powers. Impressed?” He said winking at her.
    “So can you remember any of the combinations?” Ice asked as his hand started to reach around her.
    “I can remember the combination that allows me to heal or grow back any part of my body, excluding my head of course.”He laughed and looked at her.
    ” Really? Got that combination with you?” She felt her blood boil as he ran his hand across her breast.
    “Yup.” He said smiling and leaning in to kiss her.
    “Good!” Ice said and grabbed his groin.
    His smile suddenly turned to shock as Ice started to use her ability. His groin begin to freeze and pain covered his face.
    “SWEET JESUS!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?” he screamed as she let go.
    “You better take those pills out now dickhead!” she said as suddenly with all her might she kicked him in the groin.
    Ice was not sure if she broke his whole manhood or just his jewels, but what she did know is that it hurt. He fell to the floor almost out of breath and swallowed two of his capsules. Smiling she walked away from him feeling like she won.
    “Don’t touch me again!”
    “YOU LITTLE BITCH!” She surprisingly heard as she turned to face the now enraged Capsule.
    He punched her in the face and she hit the ground hard. He had obviously taken some capsule to increase his strength. He continued to hit her before someone else stopped his assault.
    “STOP!”Omega said as he punched Capsule across the room.
    Capsule hit the wall and got up slowly and screamed towards his attacker.
    “Do you know what she did!” Capsule screamed in anger as Ice walked towards her room.
    “I don’t care! Your better now! Leave her alone!” Omega said as Ice walked into her room.
    Closing the door,she fell to the floor in pain and satisfaction. She wasn’t proud of what she did to Capsule,but it put him in his place. That was a lie. Of course she was proud of it. The one thing that plagued her mind was Why did Omega help her?

    (Sorry to cut it short but I am busy doing four things at once for the moment so more will be added later on this weekend.)

    So I just thought Id point out the reason for my design.
    As you stated he was to be younger so I designed Merlin to be in his youth and not much of a mage at the time. The red outfit basically tells the world that though he is not an expert (yet) he will be one day and shall wear a blue robe(symbol of an expert).
    He has only recently started growing his hair and beard out as this merlin has the flaw of being somewhat lazy to shave or cut his own hair. His staff is an old branch covered in spells he is trying to memorize and his amulet is of course magical. Hope this is acceptable

    Dudley woke up on a strange bed, his arm wrapped around a naked woman. It was dark outside.
    “I must have slept all day” Dudley thought to himself as he pulled the woman closer to him.
    It was clear now that they were both naked and that his lovely Cassandra had slept by his side for the full day. He knew under her cold exterior was a puppy who just wanted to be loved. He looked over her body and smiled. He could even say her back was an attractive quality about her. As he thought to himself Dudley raised his hand to scratch his face when an interesting thought came to mind:
    “I wonder where she got that tattoo…” Dudley suddenly came to a realisation.
    Not only was Cassandra’s body free of any form of piercing or ink but she wouldn’t have cut her hair in the last six or seven hours. Cassandra wasn’t that impulsive. Then as he touched his face he realised that he was wearing Mr. Satan’s mask on his face and the woman next to him was probably “THAT” woman who assists Mr. Satan. His panic induced thoughts where put aside as he heard a voice from next to him.
    “Hey Boss” The woman sat up smiling at Dudley, her purple hair covering her right eye and the sheets just about covering her body.
    “Um…Hey” Dudley said rising from the make shift bed as fast as he could.
    “Whoa you in a rush or something?” Lucy asked looking at the man she had just shared a blanket with
    “..No?” Not knowing what to say to her Dudley decided to keep his answers short.
    “So can I ask you a question?” Lucy asked wondering what was wrong with his voice.
    “I don’t think I have the time for…” Before he could answer she interrupted
    “You’re the other guy aren’t you?” Lucy said. Her sweet voice from before, now one mimicking that of a school teacher disciplining a student.
    “Yeah…I am” Dudley said in some form of relief that he wouldn’t have to act like that brute.
    She stood up, wrapping the sheet around her body and walked over to her cloths without saying anything. Dudley watched her as she started picking up her own cloths off the ground.
    “Want something?” Lucy said in a cold and angry tone.
    “Um…”Dudley responded intimidated by this woman and feeling guilty for what he had done with her behind Cassandra’s back.
    “Where are my clothes?” Dudley asked as if he had done something extremely shameful.
    “Over there” She said as she pointed towards what Dudley was wearing earlier today. It was now on the ground of some warehouse and getting dirty.
    “I wouldn’t be to reckless if I were you. My boss was shot earlier today so you might want to be careful who you take your shirt off to for a while” She said as she dropped the bed sheet and pulled up her pants.
    “HE GOT ME SHOT!!” Dudley started to panic as he only now noticed the scar on his stomach.
    “What did I do to deserve this!?” Dudley said as he stared at the scar.
    “Well in my experience guys don’t like it when you see their girlfriends naked…” She said with an evil smile on her face as she zipped up her leather jacket.
    “Is that supposed to be funny?” Dudley snapped at the leather wearing woman.
    “I think it’s funny” She said as she walked towards the door.
    “How can you love someone who’s wearing a mask all the time? What if I was grotesquely ugly?” Dudley shouted towards Lucy.
    Stopping before the door she turned back to face Dudley.
    “Know what Love means?” Lucy said looking towards Dudley
    “It means never having to say your ugly.” With that said Lucy left the building and Dudley alone in the dark.
    Dudley took off the mask and quickly got dressed. He needed to be home as soon as he could before his family noticed he was missing.

    Dudley arrived back at the house feeling like he was about to collapse. He paid the driver and walked up the steps of his house hoping that none was going to be waiting for him on the other side of the front door. He opened the door and found that today was just not his day. There inside the house he saw his family standing still staring at him.
    “Where in the Hell have you been!?!” His mother shouted.
    “Do you realise what you have put us through? This family does not need any more of your antics Dudley!” His father yelled.
    “What do you expect?” Richard said walking over to Dudley.
    Dudley felt that there was more to come from this statement and none of it would be good.
    “Dudley is a lost cause. We shouldn’t expect too much from him. After all mom and dad you can’t have five perfect children. There was bound to be one or two children that would be a disappointment.” Richard’s words infuriated Dudley.
    “Shut up Richard!” Dudley shouted as his whole family turned to stare at him.
    “Excuse me? Dudley please I’m not in the mood for the tough guy act.” Richard said as Dudley clinched his fists.
    “Who’s acting?” Dudley said as he walked towards the stairs.
    “Dudley where do you think you’re going!?” His mother shouted.
    “I’m going to my room. I’ve had a long day!” Dudley said as he stared at his family.
    “Let him mother he has the manners of a goat and smells like a sewer.” Richard said as he walked towards his mother.
    “Say that again…” Dudley said looking towards his brother.
    “Sewer…..Goat…” Richard said slowly in a condescending manner.
    With that said Dudley punched Richard in the nose. The crack could be heard by everyone in the room and Richard fell back onto the ground. A broken nose matching his black eye.
    “YOU BROKE MY NOSE!” Richard shouted as he held his nose and the family stared at Dudley.
    Dudley was shocked at his actions. Did he really just stand up to his brother? Was this real? Dudley looked at his family and walked off up the stairs towards his bedroom.

    Dudley knew he would be getting a visit by someone soon. Who it was, he didn’t know. Richard could be coming up to take his revenge on Dudley or maybe it was his parents to tell him he would be put into a mental institution. Whoever it was he was ready for it.
    The door swung open and his brother stormed in. Blood ran down his nostrils and rage filled his eyes. He wasn’t the handsome figure he usually was; now he had taken the form of something like a rabid wolverine that wanted blood. Without saying a word he punched Dudley in the stomach. The bullet wound combined with the force of his brother’s punch sent Dudley to the ground. His brother started kicking him in the ribs over and over again. Dudley hoped it would be over soon as pain infected his body.
    His parents burst through the door and pulled his brother away from Dudley. They left Dudley on the ground bruised and in pain.
    The only one who had not left with the family was his youngest brother. One of the twins. It was strange to see his little brother on his own and not beside his sister.
    “Was it worth it?” He asked a calm manner.
    “What?” Dudley struggled to speak.
    “Was hitting Richard worth all the backfire that’s coming?” He asked Dudley in the same manner.
    “Yes…Yes it was” Dudley then coughed as he got up from the ground and watched his brother leave.
    Dudley questioned his answer to his brother’s question. “Was it worth it”? Dudley had mixed feelings towards this question. He was proud that he hit the smug face of his brother, but was worried in case it wasn’t him but Mr. Satan controlling the fist.
    He needed to talk to Mr. Satan, but now was not a good time to do it. He would wait until later on in the night before he would converse with the demon.

    Lucy came home semi-satisfied with her day. Not only did she find out that he was alive, but she was now going to be on patrol with Mr. Satan and that meant she could keep a closer eye on him. She now felt like Mr. Satan trusted her and for now that was all she needed. She took off her jacket and jumped on her bed. She felt a little nervous about it, but she was far more excited at the thought of them working together. She felt like a school girl who just found out the boy she likes likes her too. Just as she relaxed on to her bed her phone rang.
    “Hey Lucy guess who?” the female voice over the phone said.
    “Sharky! How ya doing?” Lucy said to the woman on the phone.
    “I’m fine. I’m in town for a job and wanted to know if you were free for a coffee?” Sharky asked Lucy.
    “Is this a normal coffee or a Sharky coffee?” Lucy asked smiling at the thought of meeting her old friend.
    “Wait and see…” Sharky said in her usually impish manner.

    In pain, Dudley stepped down the stairs into the basement at three in the morning. He needed to talk to Mr. Satan and ask what the hell happened today. He looked into the black framed mirror and saw his cracked reflection.
    “Is he there?” Dudley wondered as the reflection mimicked his every move.
    Dudley leaned in closer to the mirror and nothing changed.
    “Are you there?” Dudley asked the mirror.
    “I know your there, Damn it! Answer me!” Dudley ordered his reflection.
    Feeling defeated he turned his back to the mirror and started walking towards the stairs.
    “Would you shut the hell up? I’m trying to sleep!” The voice said to Dudley
    Dudley turned around and smiled to see Mr. Satan. His smile quickly turned to a frown as the reason why he was here came to him.
    “What happened today? Why was I shot? I swear if you were showing off…” Dudley said but was quickly interrupted by Mr. Satan.
    “Not this crap…”Mr. Satan said as he looked behind Dudley.
    “Why the hell not! Why aren’t you more careful?” Dudley barked at Mr. Satan.
    “I do what I got to do to keep the wicked restless, Princess. And I’m sick of you always bitching to me.” Mr. Satan said to Dudley in an angry manner.
    “What the hell does that mean?!’Keep the wicked Restless’? Why can’t you just leave the bad guys to the cops?!” Dudley asked in an aggressive manner.
    “Cops don’t always get there on time or get the job done. You know that, don’t you Dudley?” Mr. Satan said to the now response less Dudley.
    “By the way…You gave your brother a nice right hook. Felt good didn’t it?” Mr. Satan said smiling.
    “…yes.”Dudley said quietly in shame.
    “I bet it did. Look…Rest and we can talk in the morning ok?” Mr. Satan said as he turned his back to Dudley.
    Dudley looked at his fist and left the basement. Not willing to admit that maybe he liked having Mr. Satan around.
