"I need you to head to the warehouse on 32nd street. Back door should be unlocked." She said handing Brian a burner phone. He nodded and walked us back out to the street. "Who is that lady?" Revy asked. He kept walking as he talked. "Eleanor, a human contact for the Protectors." Protectors? What the hell does that mean? "So, there's like a FBI for freaks?" Ty stupidly blurred out. He seemed annoyed at the question. "Yeah it's like the FBI for freaks. The protectors keep our worlds separate or at least try to. If I'm honest, you're on a protector mission as we speak." We all looked at each other, it was kinda cool. It's like I was living some new life somehow. As we walked a couple blocks, we made it to 32nd. Brian pointed at the end of the warehouse where the street lights didn't work. We made our way over there as Brian led us like some monster black ops squad. The lock on the door was dummy locked, and it creaked open slightly as we forced our way in. It was apparent something wasn't right when I walked in the door. The building was empty, and all that was visible was a large gravel pile in the center. Bennet and Revy walked down the side hugging the wall as me and Ty followed Brian. A noise caught our attention on the furthest wall. We got down and watched as a man in black looking fatigues walked into the room. He looked around a moment, he sniffed the air and then spoke. "Come out now, I can smell your stench from here." Fuck ,no way we're caught. Two more walked in right behind him, one had some kind of rifle. Brian stood up and put his hands up. "It's just me, looking for somewhere to stay. I've had some rough times recently-" he was cut off by a single shot. The round tore through his shoulder as he hit the floor. He looked at where we were hiding. "Stay down." He spoke gritting his teeth. Holy shit we're gonna die. Ty looked at me as she turned. Her arms stoned as she stood up, "Oh you're fucked now." She growled. He fired off three more times and each one struck Ty. The bullets rolled off her skin, and hit the floor. "What the Fuck?" One of the guys said stunned. She charged at them and leapt in the air towards the man with the rifle. Just as she did, the one standing next to him caught her mid air with some kind of metal bar. He was a user too. He held his hand out towards her as the bar wrapper around her shoulders. As it tightened she screamed out fighting to get free. Bennet and Revy charged forward as Bennet removed his hoody, exposing his form to the men. He roared violently as he pounced on one of the men. His claws dug deep into him as the man screamed for help. The one with the rifle struggled to reload as Revy ran up to him. She had grabbed a rebar and struck him in the head. The sound of his teeth skittering across the floor echoed even though the fight continued. He hit the floor, either dead or really messed up. She grabbed the rifle and aimed at the man holding Ty in the metal. "Drop her, right now." She commanded. He looked at her with a grin, as his other hand made a motion. A sound of metal scraped the floor before a thud. I looked around and a rebar had been flung directly into Bennet's chest. He coughed, blood in his teeth as he fell to the floor. Oh my god no. Revy shot the man in the neck that had Ty in his snare. He choked as he died on the floor. Ty roared as she freed herself from the metal. Revy ran over to Bennet and pulled her knife out, and slit her palm. The green liquid poured over his wound but it was too late, he was dead. "Oh motherfucker!" Ty yelled loudly. As she did, four more men charged inside. Ty slammed one with her fist and killed him instantly, as the other three scrambled to get her down. One ran over to Revy and kicked her in the face as she knelt down over Bennet's body. One of the men turned his skin stony like Ty's. The other stood back and decided to let them box this one out. I charged in to take him down as he slung me to the wall. My breath was knocked out of me as I tasted blood in my mouth. I ran back to fight as the other man grabbed me in a chokehold. I struggled to breathe as he tightened his grip. I could see Revy being punched repeatedly by the man who hit her. "Let- let her go!" I yelled as I pooled the fire into my palms. Burning his arms he let me go, and I put my hands to the sides of his head. His skin melted as the flames took over his body. He slumped to the floor dead and I jumped on the man beating Revy, I punched him and left a bad burn mark on his cheek. He reeled back in pain as he went for the next lunch. As he did Revy sat up and stabbed him in the back. He turned trying desperately to remove the knife. I punched him again on the cheek, and he hit the ground. Revy looked weak, as her head laid back down to the ground. The violence that Ty engaged in was earthshaking. The two elementals tore at the each other. He grabbed Ty by the leg and slammed her into the wall, breaking clean through to the other side. She jumped back through the hole and started pounding in his chest with her fists. He slammed his hands down like mighty hammers onto her back. She hit the ground hard. There was nothing I could even do, he would turn me into a puddle if I tried. She came back up with an uppercut that cracked the stone on the side of his face, knocking him back in a stumble. The two then proceeded to beat the living shit out of each other till Ty got him to the ground. She sat on top of him and pounded with both hands until he stopped moving. The thunderous blows crunched the concrete behind his head until he stopped fighting back. She gave one more swing with both hands hammering his skull in. His hands laid lifeless next to his side, he was taken care of. The fight was over, and she stood over him monstrously, letting out a beastly roar. She looked over to me, so see if I was safe. Her eyes glowed as she spoke out of breath, "Are you okay Blake, are you hurt?" I shook my head as I turned back to Revy. She was hurt really bad. The green blood she had covered her face and was all over the front of her shirt. I guess her healing didn't work on her. Just as I was trying to get her up flashlights lit up the room. "Get out of here, run!" Brian yelled as a man stood over him with a pistol to his head. Brian had shifted to his beast form and bit the mans hand. He fired one shot, killing Brian instantly as twenty men flooded the room. Ty ran to me and covered me with her body as the men began shooting. She bullets ricocheted off her as she grabbed me and Revy running us out the building. When we hit the street I took off running as she carried Revy bridal style. We made it back to the bar and charged into the back room. Eleanor choked on her drink seeing us, we laid Revy on the table, "Help her please." Ty pleaded as she ripped one of her sleeves to clean her face up. Eleanor examined her and the three of us noticed a gunshot wound to her stomach. "Mother fuckers." Ty growled as Eleanor and the people in the room tried to save Revy's life. "Get out now, go sit in the bar we need the room cleared." We listened and sat at the bar. The room was still lively even at 2:00 a.m. Ty reached over the counter and grabbed a brown liquor bottle and sat it between us. When the bartender tried to say something she held up a middle finger and a 20$ bill. He grabbed it from her fist, and kept on with his business. She took a big gulp and handed it to me. "That got fucked up really fast. Did- do you think we got set up." Ty asked swallowing her liquor. I took a big gulp myself, the liquid burned all the way down my throat and my body warmed. "Who the Fuck we're those guys?" I asked coughing. She reached in her pocket, holding a bloody patch with a wolfs head on it. "Grabbed this off the mother fucker I killed." She spoke about it like it was nothing, we just killed people. "Before you say anything, those assholes killed Brian, Bennet, and might have killed Revy. We had to Blake." She said with a sad look on her face. I was still shook up pretty bad, but Ty always knew how to make me feel better. The only thing that I kept thinking about is, why the fuck did that just happen?
