Mutagenic Battle
Drawing closer to the two criminals who had used their newfound mutagenic powers to rob the Bank of England, it was clear what the powers of at least one of the pair were.  A massive duffle bag filled to the brim with glinting gold was strapped to his back, only it wasn’t a normal set of straps that had secured the bag, instead, it was the man’s own arms wrapped around himself several times.  He had some kind of… stretchiness… to him.  The ability to contort and extend his body in ways similar to an elastic band, and clearly some kind of super-strength to be able to carry the bag and still run around.  It took a few moments of observation to realise what the other crimin

Elastic Beatdown
My footsteps pounded across the street.  I closed the distance between myself and the criminals in less than a second. I must have looked like nothing more than a blur to the two of them, they didn’t even have enough time to react to the fact I’d moved.  However, I didn’t really want to kill either of them, so before I ploughed into the one with the elasticity and super strength I stopped my momentum.  That was when the reactions came from the two.  The elastic man jumped back in surprise, his springy legs sending him flying into the air like a coil that had been compressed far too much.  The laser user, on the oth

A Hero For Fun
The man who could fire the directional lasers seemed shocked by the fact I’d managed to take his friend down.    It hadn’t been easy, but I’d still managed to do it with just a couple of hits.    But it didn’t take him very long to regain his composure.    The short mutated villain let out a barrage of lasers, one shooting from each of his fingers and thumbs.    They streaked toward me, slower than the speed that light would usually travel, but fast enough that dodging all ten was going to be a bit of a nuisance.    With a pulse of thrust from the boosters in my boots, I soared high into the air at the last minute. Two of the lasers

Jobless
I collapsed into my armchair with a heavy sigh.  It had been a long and arduous day. I’d done a lot of good, a lot of stopping mutated villains, a lot of helping people on the street.  Honestly, even though the world was ending and there were certain things that I was definitely avoiding thinking about, I was pretty sure that the day had been one of the best days of my life so far.  Maybe having a super powered mecha from outer space wasn’t the worst thing in the world after all. At least not now that the world was such a messed up place.  It really was a messed up place, too.  I’d learnt over the course of the day

Recruitment
I was woken by a heavy knocking at my door.  I waited a few moments.  There was no one that should have been knocking on that door.  My mother was… not around anymore, and my sister wasn’t someone who would ever reach out to me. Not for any reason.  The knocking happened again, louder this time, and much more urgent.  Was there a chance that someone had followed me home after my escapades in my suit the day before? It was certainly a possibility.  I hadn’t exactly been subtle when I’d

Drafted
“I’m sorry,” I said after a moment of consideration, “Did you basically just offer me a job?”  “Yes, that’s the short and skinny of it,” The officer replied, “The fact of the matter is that the world is in tatters at the moment, and is declining at an absurdly rapid rate. Conventional means are not currently powerful enough to deal with the emergent threats and so we need to come up with new and innovative ways to deal with the problems that the new situation is presenting us with.”  It made sense.  From what I had seen of the city yesterday things really weren’t in a good way.  For a start, there was the initial destruction that h

Lakenheath
Wherever the recruitment officer was taking me, it definitely wasn’t in London. The jeep had broken the outskirts of the city at least a half hour ago, and now we were plugging through the winding roads of the countryside.  “Where exactly are you taking me?” I asked, feeling the itch to activate my exo suit and simply get myself out of the situation before anything could go terribly wrong.  “My sensors are not detecting any form of aggression from anyone in the vehicle,” The AI responded to my question mentally before the military man had even opened his mouth to reply.  Was there anything the AI couldn’t actually do? How did you even detect aggression using sensors

Presentation
The interior of the military base was just as drab and boring as I had expected it to be, but that was fine because my mind was still reeling at the revelation that officer Blake had thrown at me. "Sorry, did you just say you're arranging a tournament?" I asked, "What does that even mean?" The officer turned to look at me with a glint in his eye and a smirk playing across his lips. "I'd rather not have to explain myself more than once, so let's go and meet up with the rest of the recruits first shall we?" He said, walking on again.  I kept in step with him, mulling it over in my head.  A tournament was unexpected, but honestly, it was a good way t
