TL&TOHJ~Hope: Understanding

I looked at my phone. Two in the morning. I took out twelve different gangs already. I didn't kill them, but I did beat the ever-loving crap out of them. I saw a lone gangster down below. I dropped down in front him, startling him. I grabbed him by his jacket and lifted him fifteen feet above the ground. Through gritted teeth, I said, "Where. Is. He. I. Want. The. Boy." He didn't even get the chance to answer, before I heard a voice behind me. "Haley!"



I jerked around to see the Trinity. They had two new members. The ones I helped with the Blood Syndicate. The Blurr and Diana, who calls herself Boom. The Blurr had a dark blue jumpsuit, lined in black and goggles. Boom had a black jumpsuit without sleeves, and a low V-neck. She had a pair of grey gloves to go with it. Goliath was the one who spoke out to get my attention. Angel stepped up, she said, "Haley, what are you doing? We heard on the police reports that you were....well, attacking people. Is that true?" I dropped the thug and he scurried away. I said, "My little brother is missing. I intend to find him. So, unless you came here to help me, stay out of my way."


Gemini stepped up. "You think you're the only one who's missing someone? There's a lot of people missing, Jones! You are not by yourself on this one! So, settle down, or we'll have to take you down!" I got into a fighting stance. "Then you're my enemy." They all got into a fighting stance. I heard Diana say, "Please, Haley. Don't make me fight a hero."


I didn't stand down. They didn't have a brother missing. They didn't care about my brother. They didn't understand that I had to do this.


I launched myself at them...........
