Green Bullet

Marcus watched as a newsflash came onto the tv screen in his safe house and the headlines massacre scrolled across in red letters. He recognized the area to be somewhere in LA and now he realized why there didn't seem to be as much police activity on the look out for the assassin that killed a politician. This massacre was a crime involving metahumans and anti metahuman protestors. His assassination work would most likely just be blamed on a normal human killer and not have any relations to metahumans. This incident made him curious and Marcus decided to go and investigate the crime scene and get some idea of the players involved in this game kill humans or metahumans, this might mean more money for him.

He left the safe house and jumped up the roof of a nearby building. Moving as fast as his superhuman legs could carry him Marcus leaped from one building to the next until his vision spotted the crime scene. He got as close as could without being noticed and even from a distance he could see the blood of those slaughtered. It was almost like a scene from a movie with brutal the killings looked and he had seen his fair share of brutality.

"By God's fury, now there's some innocent bloodshed that I've not seen in a long time" he said to himself, the reformists were already on the scene and he wondered how they would respond with this attack by the Underground. I didn't need to take sides immediately, he would watch and wait to see who would pay him the most for his services. Normally the group most desperate were the ones who reached deeper into their pockets for help.

Pixel

Pixel was riding on top of a flying saucer made of pixels that he created and while on his rounds above LA he noticed the crowds of people gathered at the crime scene were humans had been killed by the Underground movement. Some people looked on with awe and some with anger as he landed his pixel creation on the ground not too far away from the scene of the massacre and made the craft disappear.

"My God, what happened here?" he asked himself as he created two pac-man ghosts, which went to have a look since they could fly and get over the blockade.

"It looks like somebody slaughtered the people at the LA Center for Humans" one of the ghosts replied as they returned to him. Sam didn't have much kindness towards the group, but no amount verbal hate would warrent such a massacre and he felt angered at the culprits who did this. He clenched his fist in anger.

"The savage idiots who did this are trying to ruin the peace that humans and metahumans are trying to maintain with each other. I can't wait to get my hands on the bastard that did this and make him pay and face proper justice" he said angrily to his pixel creations.

"You humans sure do have problems accepting each other, we ghost all agree and work together for one thing, which is catch Pac-man" the other ghost replied.

Teen Titans: Divided We Fall

why do I keep getting this bad feeling that this might happen with Sentinel in the future?

if there's any plans for the mercenaries to meet up then I'm interested in having Green Bullet be in on the plots.

Marcus leaped from one building to the next at speeds that seemed inhuman as well the fact that he was leaping well over a hundred with every jump. He needed to get to his target as quick as possible before they made his assassination more difficult. This job would see almost a million bucks in his pockets and to make this job even better, the women he was assassinating was a member of the British parliament. He would take great pleasure in putting a bullet in this Brit's brain. His mind for a short moment went back to the memory of his father's murder and his hatred rose up inside of him.

"Time to send this buck toothed Bure to God" he said to himself as his target came into a little ways down the street getting a vehicle that was being escorted by several guards. Once in position, Marcus quickly took out his sniper rifle and took aim at the vehicle. For a normal human the shot would have been very difficult, but his incredible senses and his fast thinking brain made the shot more easier.

"Goodnight lassie" he said and the pulled the trigger. The bullet flew its course and found its target going right through the skull of the female politician.

"Gotcha!" Marcus exclaimed and then made his escape, moving at speeds ten times faster than an athletic human. Now he needed to get away as fast as possible before he would have to fight off the authorities. After he had gotten away and made back to his safe house, Marcus contacted his contractors and received his money for his job well done. Now he was waiting for his next job and even though it didn't really matter to him Marcus still kept up on the situation with humans and metahumans. He had taken jobs for organizations who hired metahuman hit men and they paid handsomely. Maybe sometime soon they would offer him work.

(Optional) Brief History: For some Irish, independence from England was dream that the shared for centuries especially those of Northern Ireland. Marcus’ family had a history of being Irish nationalists and freedom fighters. His grandfather fought the Nazis in WW2 and hoped that after the war that his people would see that the British had no right to have regency over any part of Ireland, including the north.

His father was a catholic and living in Northern Ireland in his youthful days was not a good thing thanks to the divide between the Irish who supported being a part of the United Kingdom and those that wanted full independence. Because of the bigotry done to him in his youth, Marcus’ father became a member of the Irish Republican Army otherwise known as the IRA.

To Britain and her allies they were terrorists, but to those who fervently believed in independence they were looked on as freedom fighters. Marcus was born during the twilight of his father’s time with the IRA, and his mother hoped that he would leave the organaation to stay alive and raise their son as a proper family.

His father agreed and eventually left the IRA. But things weren’t much better, Marcus heard the jeering voices of the northern Irish who hated Catholics and he grew up knowing that he was different to many others in Northern Ireland. Things got even more tragic when his metahuman abilities activated and he discovered that he could amazing things after the worst moment of his life happened.

At first it was simply childish playfulness when he used his powers to jump super high to see the tops of trees, but then his life took a horrible turn and tragedy struck. Someone had found out about his father’s past ties with the IRA and word spread like wildfire and before they could do anything they were flooded with death threats.

They were a lower class family and couldn’t afford to move from the north. That was when the worse day of his life happened. While on their way home from shopping, a street gang of British nationalists cornered him and his parents. They beat his father to death and horribly brutalized his mother. They had made Marcus watch and he had been helpless. He lashed out in rage and his power came alive and was able to singlehandedly fight off his father’s murderers.

This incident was what would shape Marcus into the killing machine that he is today and like his father grandfather and even great grandfather before him he became an extreme Irish nationalist who would use his powers to hurt Britain as well as those he thought deserved his fury. He trained himself to be an excellent marksmen as well as assassin, knife fighter and boxer.

Marcus also saw his powers as way of becoming one of the best mercenaries in the world and amassing fortunes of wealth. He took the name Green Bullet and would bring terror and death to those he called enemies.
