Kid of sins

Chapter 25: Dispute

*

* Siren was still holding the hand of the girl she had met. Although puzzled, she was still sure of what she was seeing. Yet the teenager opposite looked at her with a confused face *.

-De ... Sorry I don't see who you ...

-But remember. Siren, we were together at the center. * She said, getting even closer *. I can't believe you're still alive. Gwen ...

-But who are you at the end? * she yelled, withdrawing her arm *. Let go of me, you freak.

* She walked away and disappeared into the crowd leaving Siren in doubt. The blonde stared down for a moment then lifted her head with a smile *.

-Ha I must have been wrong.

* Elsewhere in town, Clark and Lucal were chatting about the good old days as they walked through the streets *.

-It's very animated here. I remember when we started we were barely 100 assholes.

-Things have changed. * Said Cage *. Back then we were struggling to survive from day to day. But look today all this is thanks to you.

-It's Dickey not to thank me. * He sighed *.

* Luc stopped near a vending machine and gave him a beer *.

- You have to know how to accept compliments, it was you who taught me.

-Cheers.

-Otherwise you .... You found ... You know ...

-How's Wallace by the way?

* No sooner had he asked the question when he saw a man come out of the window of the restaurant opposite. Luc let out a sigh and patted her shoulder *.

-Come.

* In the restaurant in question there was a crowd of people. Standing on a table with raised fists a young man of about 15 years old. He had black hair and brown eyes. He was wearing a black leather jacket over a white T-shirt and black jeans and boots. His hairstyle was layered with curly hair *.

-So ... This is what it costs to insult me?

* The guys around yelled to encourage him and he laughed even more *.

-What is that ? * Clark asked *.

-My little brother. And it became an evo.

-Wal .... Wallace?

-He changed eh. * He said disappointed *. He's no longer the shy kid you knew.

* Wallace hugged a girl next to him which he kissed. Clark approached him slowly, glancing at him. The kid stopped and stared at him *.

-You sent that poor guy waltz away. What did he do to you ? * He asked *.

-Bah he pissed me off. He said I slept with his sister.

-Oh serious accusation. And that's true ?

-Yes it's true, but it was just a one-night stand I didn't really like her. 

-So if I understand correctly this guy comes to ask you to apologize to his sister and you all you can do is send him to get f****d? * Clark asked *.

-He knew what he was risking by coming to challenge me.

-Do you think your father would be proud of you?

-Don't talk to me about that junk. I didn't want to hear more about it. And who the f**k are you?

-Not that father there. * Said Luke *. Your other father.

-My other ?

* Wallace remained calm for a moment lost in thought, then took a better look at the man in front of him more closely. He suddenly smiled and hugged her tightly *.

- Hell, I don't believe it ... I don't believe it.

* He practically had tears in his eyes as Clark was against him *.

-It's been a f*****g long time. Uncle Hart.

-Clark.

- I don't care, I adore you anyway. * He said hugging him again *.

* Wallace took a few steps back to make sure he wasn't dreaming *.

-I do not know what to say...

-And if you start by apologizing to this poor guy.

* Wallace laughed a little dazed *.

-Uh I have trouble understanding ...

-So that's it. * Clark said *. Little Wallace has become a man. No, not even an evolved. And what do you do with this newly acquired strength? You spread it everywhere like a gorilla.

- What are you doing to me? * Asked Wallace in astonishment *.

* While he was talking Louis and Chloe who were passing by came across the restaurant in question *.

-It's simple little pissy I'm leaving 5 years and they traded me my little guy for that.

-It's enough, stop Uncle Clark. * Said Luke *. The moment is badly chosen.

-You think that now that you have powers you have become superior to everyone else. What you can do moral when it suits you because sir is an evo? My ass deep inside you you're just a coward who only relies on others.

-Stop .... * Said Wall in a low voice *.

-No but go ahead bad boy surprise me.

* He slapped her which shocked everyone in the room. Clark continued his sermon and slapped him twice more *.

- Come on hit me, we're laughing.

-I said stop. * He yelled *.

* The punch went in the direction of Clark's jaw but Louis pulled back at high speed and grabbed the youngster's fist *.

-We will stop the charges for today.

* Wallace looked Clark in the eye before telling him *.

-I hate you.

* With a voucher he crossed the roof of the restaurant and disapeared in the sky. Louis was a little surprised to see that he had so much strength *.

-He is that it is not zero. * He said, shaking his hand *. What would you have done if I hadn't intervened?

-He would never have hit me, it's simple. * He said lighting a cigarette *. He's still a kid.

-That's what Uncle Clark did to you. * Said Luke *. Wallace is one of our best fighters. He defended the city more than once.

-And he's an arrogant asshole who thinks he's allowed everything. * He said *. It's not the kid I educated.

* During this time in the armory, Midas was teaching Nelson to shoot, who had a lot of fun with the machine gun *.

-Hmm how to say .... There is progress to be made.

-Hey brother. * Said Siren *. We have to talk.

* He sneaked up and joined his sister in a corner of the room *.

-So what is it? You look a little serious, it's weird.

-I saw it. Gwen finally I mean Scylla.

* Midas froze for a moment then put his hand on his sister's shoulder *.

-Since when you see ghosts. * He said mockingly *.

-Stop or I'll break you in half. Well, it's not important. She's here in town ....

-She died 6 years ago the army even confirmed her death. If she was alive her flea would continue to emit and the place would be infested with PeacKeeper.

-Just that's what is strange. And she acts like she doesn't know me.

-I don't think she's alive. At worst, she looks a bit like him. * He said, putting his helmet back on his ears *. You know how it works but for my part that doesn't interest me. Do what you want but don't get noticed.

-Hello solidarity. * She said before collapsing *.

* In an old wooden cabin outside of town Luke found his brother playing with the military plates in his hand *.

-How did you find me? * Wall asked *.

-You always come here when you want f**k.

-I...

* He let out an amused little smile but began to get depressed again *.

- I can't understand Uncle Clark. He kept telling me to be strong, not to be intimidated. And today I am strong. Everyone respects me, some even fear me. I don't know I think he hates me.

-Do you really think that our uncle the one who risked his life to save us more than once hates you?

-I... I don't know.

* Luc walked over and sat down right next to his brother *.

-You remember what you said when he gave you his tags *.

Editor's note: Military plates.

-He said that the real strength of a man lies in his ability to exceed what others expect of him.

-And you think you've become someone he can be proud of?

-Yes of course. * He replied promptly *. But I don't understand why .... I ... I'm lost.

* Luc hugged him tightly and stroked his hair *.

-Do not worry. It will be fine. Go talk to him, he will surely explain to you what you are missing.

* For his part, Clark had brought Chloe to a very special place *.

-I'm doing you a favor, okay? But don't overdo it. * Dickey said *.

* A small shop outside of town, he pushed his wheelchair inside *.

-Hello dear customer welcome .... Oh no no ...

- Hi Butler. * He said smiling *.

* He was a skinny little black with a square hairstyle. He wore round glasses a sort of apron in front of his navy blue shirt. The seemingly antique store housed had a hidden side *.

-I see ghosts?

-Not just corpse in addition. * He said *.

-I ... I ...

-I'll need what you know about my friend here. * He said, showing her leg *.

-O ... Yes, I'll get that for you. * He said promptly *.

* He spent a few minutes in the back room before coming back with a metal leg. Chloe's eyes widened when she saw her *.

-It's the same one used during Operation Astreif. The army surplus had a female model. * Explained Butler *.

-It's ... Is it a prosthesis?

-Totally robotic. All we have to do is connect your nerves, it will be painful but the result is worth it.

-I ... I don't know what to say.

-You will thank me when we connect him * He said *.

-It's gonna hurt a lot and she might scream and all ...

- Don't worry, she has tough skin.

* Butler lowered himself trying to connect the prosthesis *.

- Wait ... don't you have something to bite?

* Clark took out his knife and bit his handle *.

-Ready? 1 ... 2 ...

* He connected the prosthesis with a sharp blow making the young woman roar loudly. But when the leg was finished, it was in place. Clark motioned for her to stand up and she succeeded *.

-I ... I succeeded. I walk....

* She started to walk in his direction and stumbled slightly but Clark caught up to her before seating her *

.

- Don't worry, you'll have plenty of time to train.

-Thank you very much Clark ... Or Hart whatever your name is.

* He smiled and kissed her tenderly under Butler's embarrassed gaze *.

- Can't you go do that outside?

-Bah what it's just a kiss.

* She straightened up and moved her leg slightly, then her toes, before looking at Clark in fascination *.

* An individual knocked on the door and entered quietly. It was Wallace who looked a little sad but determined *.

-Uncle Clark .... I ... can I talk to you?

-I only ask that. * He said smiling *.

* End of chapter *
