Hector Ramirez – Atlanta, Georgia – Visions of Death [I]"Aaah no!!!! PLease please" A woman was screaming in pain she'd already been stabbed and was backing up from her attacker. Her attacker was a vague female figure with shades on, a blade in hand, and a grin on her face. "You think I wanted this, now I wanted you to suffer but you went ahead and made this happen, you sped up the process you dumb bitch, and now I've got it. At first I just wanted to have fun, but there's bigger things going on here, bigger fish to fry, and way more fun for me to have. You and the other bitch where just the beginning, I've got other targets, but I'm going to have to be different with how I go about them what happened at the hospital, what that maniac is doing to the cops although I can't say I don't enjoy it, and who else knows what else, The Feds are gonna step in, there gonna round us up, and then I just have to be in the right position to have fun." The bleeding woman looked up at her attacker and groaned." You’re a fucking sociopath, you think your entitled to what you wanted, there's a reason you didn't get it you fucking crazy fucker, because they could sense what you really were, I thought you were just weird bur your worst. You’re the reason I wanted to be what I wanted to be to stop people like you, fuck you, you evil fucking bastard." The man moved forward the girl was screaming the scenery changed to none other then Jace with his hands full of blood, bullet holes on his clothes, and laughing around several dead police officers, then finally an entire police station was seen destroyed, and suddenly the vision ended. [/i] "FUCK!!!!" Hector jumped out of bed in a cold sweat, reaching for a beer bottle of rolling rock he had on his night stand and popped it open starting to chug some to calm himself down. He'd been plagued by bits and pieces of this vision for the past hour, and it seemed the probation officer he'd saved was now coming to his rescue trying to counsel him from his nightmarish visions. "Hector Hector!" Andrea was also laying in bed, but it seemed they hadn't been engaged in a tryst of sorts as she still had on her pajama's and reached for Hector wiping sweat off his brow." Fuck you scared me, you need to sleep, you need to." "No I can't not today, I told you what happened, you know what happened to my daughters, this is fucking a punishment, if I ignore this what else could happen? I almost ignored what I saw of you and imagine where you'd be dead, in a fucking coffin, this happened for a reason you don't have to come, but I have to expose this Jace guy, today is gonna be the worst so many people are going to die, I have to stop him with or without you, everything I see I can affect, I can change, even this bastard." Hector downed the rest of his beer and tossed it into the trash can. Andrea seemed conflicted she really wanted to help Hector, she owed him everything her life. Hell because of him she was still out of the public way, while some people saw a worthless alcoholic former cop and war veteran with a record ruined by multiple DUI's she had seen that there was someone behind that. She had to admit it was an eye opener as a probation officer she'd been pretty cruel, taking out her frustrations from her marriage on her probationee's and feeling like they were all criminals having never been on the wrong side of the law herself. But now she could see how she was wrong to pre-emptively judge everyone who came in-front of the judge, some of them had stories, reasoning's behind their tragedy, a reason for their pain, and a hope to change. Deep down she felt partially responsible for at least some of Jace's behavior, although he was defininently a violent individual. She'd been over the top in her punishments with him, but still he was beyond forgiveness now she simply hoped to apply this manner of thinking to the future if she chose to pursue this career further but right now she realized she had a duty not only to help Hector because of what he'd done but to help the police deal with Jace because she knew not only what he'd done but what he was capable of doing. "Fine Hector..I'll come forward.. He has to be stopped." She was terrified of coming into contact with the brutal bullet proof criminal again, but Hector was right. If it wans't for her visions she'd have died in a coffin surrounded by excrement and insects, a night marish incident in of itself. "We'll go later today we can head to the station I have friends there they all think I'm dead, they know this super thug killed my husband, it's time we put a name and face, and let the police get a handle on what to do to stop him." "Thanks Andrea, this means a-lot, this visions there a chance not just for me to help other people, but to help myself maybe one day..if I do enough I can forgive myself, I can feel like I've earned the right to accept that ultimately what happened to my daughters wasn't me..even if I was a part of it." He sighed and layed back in bed..the beer having not only rested him but kept the more detrimental effects of his alcohoslism at bay as he decided to sink back into a slumber ready to forge ahead and push through any more precognitive visions that might assault him and disturb his sleep as long as they gave him information to stop Jace, and save that woman's life it didn't matter he had to do this. …............................................ "This is fucking crazy, like Jace you'veb literally LOST your fucking mind, and your telling me Luke is the fucking crazy one, like I mean I just." Tamara was just rambling on and on. Ever since Jace had kicked down a wall, took a bullet to the face, knocked out a security guard, and helped her escape the precint she didn't know what to think. But she wasn't dumb enough to deny the existence of what was happening to her especially with her own brother utilizing superhuman abilities, and what happened at the hospital, but she was infuriated regardless that Jace had attacked Luke over a dispute involving them. "But I don't care if Luke is Professor X, a Jedi or whatever, he didn't do this to me, I'm telling you!!!" "Okay your convinced Luke ain't did it, I'm telling you he's not a problem anymore so let's see if any more freaky psycho shit happens okay. We need to get out of here, I bought up some property in Florida where we can lay low, sooner or later people are gonna start looking for me, for you, hell for everyone with powers so we need to get moving." Jace had come back to the apartment, and grabbed a few more things, he was actually beginning to get glad for this temporary period of sobriety it was allowing him a sense of clarity he hadn't had over the past few weeks since he'd been on a rush from the powers he'd been given. Tamara was trying to be the voice of reason but he just wasn't trying to hear it. "Look Jace, bullets bounce of you, they don't bouce of me? Your gonna be with me 24/7, hell even if you are which you know damn well you don't want to be, your gonna be able to make sure none of the bullets hit me, I have a better chance LIVING if I turn myself in." "You really think that, you see what they did to Devon and me over some fucking weed?! You caught 30 bodies, I know you ain't fucking do it I know you, even if I didn't knnow Luke, I'd know it wasn't you. You claim ya mind went blank, and Luke can fuck with your mind, can't you fucking put two and two together. You know what even if you wanna say its not Luke then that's worst, who's got it out for you that bad, last thing you recall is smoking with Luke then you left your apartment then bam your driving drunk and shooting people, I'm sorry but it all points to him, what are the likley hoods of two fucking people with the same power..being at the same place..at the same time come on?" Tamara paused to bite her lip although Jace was always in a rage this time he had a point. She still refused to believe Luke would do that, he knew he was a drug dealer, and engaged in some other shady financial dealings to obtain money but he wasn't the the type of person to do this. Although she'd never questioned it she didn't know if Luke had spilled blood before but he didn't seem trigger happy, he was never trying to just go out and kill people, no that was her own brother apparently. "Look I have no idea, but I'm just saying just think about it please! There's bound to be more people with powers, maybe it wasn't the same as his power, maybe it was something else, but the fact that someone did this to us is bad! Look at what's become of our family in your attempt to get revenge you've got half of Atlanta looking for you, and sooner or later once they realize your powers your fucked, maybe bullets, and blades can't hurt you, but Uncle Sam will find something that does!" Jace sighed thinking back to the situation with Cori when those agents had used poision on him and had a brief moment of fear, he'd literally seen his life ending all because of over-confidence so he didn't dismiss Tamara's worries. "Yeah you right that's why I'm done fighting, I was trying to live right, get Jesus In me, but it ain't working, I just need my family, we need to go please Tamara, if it's not Luke, and there's someone out there with that kind of power after you, then what makes jail any safer?! I'm telling you I fucked up, I don't get it one minute I'm strong, then I can't think straight, I dunno if it's my powers messing with my head, or just everything getting to me, but you know I love you sis, I love you, we already lost Devon to the system, if I was confident enough I'd bust into prison, take out all the guards, all the cops and walk him out myself, but I doubt even I can do that, so I'm not gonna let them just lock you away forever or let some super powered motherfucker hack your body again what if this time they make you kill ya self, feel me please." Jace was practically pleading with his sister at that point. "Jace I.."She could tell her brother was concerned and really cared then she stopped to think. He had a point if someone could really hijack her mind and it wasn't Luke they were dangerous, of course she figured Luke might be one of the only people who could. "Then fine let's go, just stop the killing please, we ain't gonna live like this, I rather get taken away." "Fine fine, I'm ready to go anyway, lemme just grab the rest of my food." He went over to the microwave to take out the rest of his chinese take-out when he heard a knock out the door, then some more aggressive knocks. He motioned for Tamara to run into the closet where he'd stored his gun, and he grabbed one of his own guns and waltzed towards the door slowly to listen in. " Final warning open the fucking door." "Who the .." Just then the door was kicked down and Jace instinctively leapt to the ground as he heard something tumbling on the groudn then a massive bang. He closed his eyes as the flash grenade rocked his body even if it didn't cause him any pain, he heard foot steps tumbling on the ground and looked up to see armed SWAT men bursting in firing at him with tasers. "NO!!!!" Jace screamed and ran up pushing two of the swat agents sending them flying across the room and against the walls with force, he snatched up a gun from one of the discarded soldiers and opened fire, causing some of the SWAT To duck down and open fire on him with their bullets of course having no effect." God damn it God damn it, I can't catch a fucking break." Jace opened fire on the SWAT agents gunning them down relentlessly and discarded the gun heading into the hallway to see three more agents coming in guns blazing opening fire on him. "FUCK!!!!!" Jace charged towards one of the agent full of rage surprising the agent as the bullets had no effect on him. He didn't know if they were here for him, or Tamara his main concern was how the hell they found him, and whoever made this possible well..there'd be hell to pay. ….................................. "You really expect us to believe this nonsense, Mendez it's clear you've been through a lot with your husband, and all that but this is crazy." Andrea had accompanied Hector to the police station where her friends use to work out and was trying to get in contact with Emma Hazel, a long time friend of hers who worked in the police force, but the chief wasn't trying to hear it. "Giant bullets came and hit buildings in a hospital, there's a man running around with super strength tearing up the APD and I'm telling you that man is fucking Jace Williams. I watched him do what he did to my husband with his bare hands, he's responsible for everything else involving the super thug, damn it! The only reason you guys aren't pursueing this is because of the super powered angle, you can't be stiff enough to not think powers are real after all this can you? Jesus Christ?!" "Right well a report came in this morning, a former associate of Mr. Williams who claims she use to be sleeping with him, came in this morning, and confirmed his location for the reward money, we sent in the SWAT to neutralize him, so that should disprove any beliefs that he's anything more then a regular man." "You can't be serious, are you really serious?!! I swear, he did this to me, he buried me alive, that man outside if it wasn't for him I'd be dead!!?!!" "Then answer me this Andrea, you say this man ripped off your fingers, and did all this to you, then this guy Ramirez one of the worst alcoholics I've ever met and I've met plenty in the force just happens to stumble upon a graveyard, dig you out and then you start staying at his house the past few days? What it sounds like is you got assaulted, you went into shock, and you've been drinking a-lot and you've found someone else with as much tragedy in their life as you, all I can recommend is you let us handle it, I'm glad your alive Mendez your one of the best PO's downtown but I don't think Jace is superhuman, you've been through a lot, and this guy Ramirez your lucky I even let him in the office after the disgrace he was to the police force. Now get out, I don't want you spreading this nonsense any further in my station or I'll have someone remove you and you won't like my methods trust me I'm coming to you as a friend Andrea." "Chief..."Andrea's voice trailed off but she was furious, she had an idea to just try to get on the news some how and tell people but she doubted she'd do any better. She stormed out and Hector saw the look of disapointment on her face, and sighed. He was ready to get out as plenty officers who he use to work with where giving him dirty looks about him being back there. Not only that he was itching for a smoke, after a few minutes of navigating through the station they were outside and Hector was sparking up a newport inhaling the poision. "So I take it, it went about as well as expected, fuck it that girl is still gonna die, I know what the news says, but something dosen't add up, we gotta do something." "Maybe it's a sign, saving a killer from another killer, does it really make sense, I mean fuck I'm almost drunk and it's just now afternoon, what the fuck is going on." "Hey come on now afternoons are the perfect time to settle into a nice drunk, mornings are starting the buzz of heavy, and of course a shower beer...but yeah it looks like if we want to stop this motherfucker we're on our own, and I've been trying to go That's so Raven all morning but it's not working." "Yeah you think all the Jameson we've been drinking might be a reason your powers aren't fully A1, I mean shit I don't know anything about super powers outside of watching the X Men movies but being drunk fucks up a-lot of stuff, so fuck I just need a smoke." "Gladly" Hector offered her a new-port putting it between her lips and lighting it then shrugged his shoulders. "If being drunk fucks up powers, then I guess I'm one of the worsts people to have given powers with, because between visions of death and suffering and maitaining a constant buzz well I know which one I'd rather pick.." He said with some disdan for himself and his choices, alcoholism had been apart of his life for a while, these powers were three weeks old, and he didn't like the idea of checking into outpatient rehab while being assaulted by visions of death that he couldn't do anything about at least out here even if he was inebriated most of the time he had a chance of doing something. "Yeah..maybe Chief was right about that, I can't stick around you all the time or I'll always be drunk, cause I can think of a million reasons why I'd rather be saued right now." SHe said sadly as she continued to smoke her ciggarett wishing they could do something or that the police at least took her infromation somewhat seriously about Jace's super powered rampage and what he did to her. "Andrea! Your alive! I heard everything the Chief is crazy! Listen we need to talk." Emma came rushing out of the station ready to talk to Andrea and Hector as they smoked. Hector sighed but felt alright she was one of the few cops who came to him in his time of need, talking to him about AA classes, offering him to come to church with her, overall one of the few good cops if there were any and Andrea was happy to have both support and to see her friend again perhaps this trip to the police station wouldn't turn out to be a complete waste of time. …............................. "That's not possible." Tamara said as she sat in the passenger seat of Jace's charger as they'd made his way from the apartment, he'd made sure to not use his powers to kill any agents although they'd seen bullets bounce of him, most of them were in the hospital, and it was time for him to make his eacpe to Florida anymore with Tamara, that was until they heard the news. Tamara was in so much disbelief she went on google to see it and there mass protests. "It's here Jace! Tamara Williams who has been kidnapped by superhuman murderer has been granted bond of 30,000 thousand dollars which was paid by an anonymous person who claims he believes in her innocence, that's gotta be Luke it's gotta be!" "So now you wanna admit he's using his mind shit huh, even if it is maybe it's just a play. Think about it, we just found out some bitch snitched on me, got the cops sent to my crib, and right after I whoop they ass they talking about a random motherfucker paid your bond, if Luke's got the mind mojo why he ain't do it himself." "Maybe he's trying to stay lowkey, point is Jace drop me off! I don't have to do this, I can do more to help you like this, plus I can go to trial, your strong, but Luke he's different he actually thinks things through, he's not pissed 24/7, and with his mind powers who knows maybe he can. "Maybe he can what are you fucking stupid?! Listen how do you know Luke ain't playing this whole scenario still I "Stop the fucking caR!!!" Tamara demanded and Jace skidded to a halt going to park and sighing his sistet couldn't be convinced." I know Luke okay Jace! I don't know what's gotten into you, but you and him go way back, hell our brothers go way back, he wouldn't do this to us, if anything maybe your right, it's good you taking a break from smoking cause your powers might be fucking with your head, and Luke is prolly the one person who can help you but you don't want to fucking listen. The Feds coming after you, and Luke and people like you, then I wanna be a regular citizen doing my best to help yall! Please, now I'm going to find Lukey, you I suggest you keep on and get the fuck out of here, I see your strong bro..but you gotta be careful bruh..shit's gonna get real..you caught bodies..real bodies..and regarldess of the fact that some ofthem people are fucked up like Andrea, and Lauren that's not how the world at large will look at it." She got out the car and slammed the door before Jace rolled the windows and tossed her some cash. "Look sis you don't need to be going around with no cash, cause right now ain't no one gonna hire you, just promise you'll stay lowkey, just promise." "Yeah bro you need to follow your own fucking advivce jeez! Your whooping 12's ass left and right and you thinkt his not gonna bite you in the ass, man Devon got time for trapping, they going fuck around and stick you with life once they find a way to put you down and a cage to stick you in if not kill you, I love you but you need to chill, something is dead ass wrong with you to just be tearing people apart like this..just get help..I'll see if Luke can do anything please just make peace bro it's not worth all this it's not it's not! "Fine call yo self uber, and go striaght home, please call me when you get to Luke's otherwise I'm bringing my ass right back down here and I'm fucking hi up, I'm fucking all yall up, I swear I want to move on from this shit but its gotta be this way, now I gotta bounce be safe sis, I'll figure some out, you know I will I gots to, shit going change I swear." "Yeah you want change, then find that Harley Quinn bitch who killed the mayor's daughter and all them students like she's inspired because of you! She your own little evil psycho bitch, a match made in hell, you ask me you wanna kill people kill her now thanks for the cash but get outta here." Tamara said before walking away. Jace looked at his sister with worry he still felt she was walking into a trap of sorts but she was grown woman, and as long as the police were coming after she she'd be in danger. He didn't want to confess to her that he'd put his foot through Luke literally, he literally couldn't confess the murder of his friend to her. The guilt was eating up, yet the day before he was filled with rage and joy to mess him up and that Ariana chick, he wondered if Tamara would ever speak to him after all of that was found out. He decided as long as she was alive it didn't matter if they were cool, and he started up his car and pulled off to make his way to his new home in Florida.
