That night I slept like a baby with a bright night light scaring away the monsters, couldn't say the same for my cellmate across from me but who cares about some I think the guy tried to rob a bank or something, I mean he looked like a walking talking toaster oven, with the signal wire running out of his head connected to something.
I mean I haven't done anything, but I'd probably not rob a bank in the middle of the day like they did. Who would have thought that in a world of superheroes and villains, not one "supervillain" would think of a lookout or robbing a bank at night? I mean what a genius idea, how groundbreaking or whatever.
Didn't matter though as the next day was the same as the last, as Pete came strolling in with this place world world-famous chicken pot pie. Honest to go best tasting thing in this place, so I got up and cracked my knuckles, stretched out a bit didn't want to get sore now did we?
Once the whole song and dance was done I went over to the door grabbed the tray, and began to eat it whole, not bothering to use the fork. I mean it was going to be burnt to ash anyway at least the bits that didn't make it to whatever passed for a stomach at this point. I gotta say though they really blew it out of the water this time, I mean whoever made this stuff really knew what they were doing.
Once I was all done I tossed the tray back into the little slot it came from and sat on my bed just staring at the wall imagining the outside world again. Heck, I bet I could go to the beach at this point without SPF 100 or whatever it's called now. Pretty sure people would need to wear SPF 100 million around me, alongside a radiation suit or two, I mean if they want kids still but once again who wants kids?
Heh heh, I make that joke or at least a version of the joke every day ever since I've been incarcerated. that's when I heard the alarms, which piqued my interest as the entire outside hallway went into lockdown mode with a couple of guards running down the hallway. Judging from the fact my cell wasn't currently flooding with water, well that meant no one was looking at me on the cameras, meaning I could just melt my way out.
So that is what I did, I touched the wall and began to heat myself up, not just my hands but my entire body. I easily burnt my clothes off as I walked through the wall much to the surprise of the guards who were currently standing in front of a closed door. Honestly, I just felt bad for them but well I saw a ladder on the other side and well I charged forward just as they fired at me, my little invisible destroying them before they could even touch me.
I charged forward making sure to give them a quick death, burning a hole through their faces, as a few made their way passed me. Probably to report the escaped convicts to their boss but hey not my problem for right now. No that would come later when I'm out walking the streets giving every around me cancer oh and the fact I'm a bright glowing green skeleton that most people would mistake me for a Halloween decoration.
Wait...did I make that joke already or not, eh whatever a repeated but a goodie. So once that was over with a beep and a boop, I melted my way through the door and started climbing up the ladder making my way to the exit, just as it was about to close.
I did reach the surface eventually and it was nighttime, meaning I had long since lost track of my sleep schedule. I got out of there quickly feeling the desert sand on my feet and saw the blasted Mauler corpse in front of me, alongside a destroyed laser. Meaning I didn't have to work hard to find my way to the nearest city, as the other one left nice bear tracks for me to follow.
So I began following it, whistling as I did so letting the noises of the outside world be the best music of my life. Every once in a while I would just look up at the sky and laugh my ass off, unable to understand if I was truly smiling or if that was just my broken mind. Overall it was a pretty nice night, at least compared to what I had before, honestly, it felt like years since I've last seen the outside world but the reality was it was probably at best a few months.
Either way, I'm glad that I ate before I left because it was quite the tack to civilization, I mean I don't have super strength like most supers so I couldn't jump my way back or fly really either. Nope stuck with good old-fashioned average human strength and well some physical abilities.
That was when I saw it, the beautiful skylines of a city, of civilization, the good old whatever its name was. Just when I was about to make the track down, a man appeared behind me, well not directly as he appeared quite a bit away with a megaphone or something.
"Well that was a surprise, didn't think you'd try after last time but I can be wrong sometimes, so you wanna keep walking while I call in the big guns, or do you wanna actually talk."
By his tone and way of speaking, I suppose the GDC put a tracker or something on me when I was briefly knocked out. Made sense, just hope whoever did it had good health insurance I mean if just my skin can make you sterile then what would my insides/blood do?
Cracking my neck I just nod my head and another guy came in, a bit of a skittish fella wearing a standard company drone uniform who dropped off a megaphone and then fucked off. Picking it up, I spoke before he could say anything.
"So got anything interesting to say or do you wanna keep playing the cryptic game, because we could do that all day long."
