Everyone was starting to scream as the van was driving by itself. Most of them got out of the way, but two members were in the van as it crashed into the wall. They are still alive, but most likely need to see a doctor. "Shit!" the leader hissed under his breath. He then ran towards the youngest member to see if he could help. Surely he had taken care of Nightingale by now. While the remaining members were trying to shoot or get close to Trick.

The young lad looks at the hero as he tells him that yes it was hard to change his path, it was still possible. He froze up once more. Lowering his arm and the goo vanished once more. This is not the life he wants, but he did not want to be alone, to not feel like he was nothing. How can someone like him understand. While some not agree with his tactics, he knows that a lot of people do admire him. He can do good, unlike him. With the things he can do, it was not really meant to be good.

"Are you fuckin' kiddin' me with this shit?!" the leader yells, making the younger member gasp. "I-I-I" he stutters out of fear. Then he was grabbed by the collar of his hoodie and was lifted off the ground a bit. "I asked you to do one thing, just one! He should be gone by now or on his way tot he hospital! What's with the hold up?!" he yells right in his face. The young trembled then was harshly thrown across the ground. Then the leader points his gun at Nightingale. "Time to put the bird to sleep." he said and pulls the trigger.

Just before the young lad used his power to jam up the gum and backfired. Which injured the leader's hand and he lets out a scream of both pain and anger. "You little piece of shit. He grabs him with his good hand and throws in into the icy water. Which left him powerless. Even worse, he does not know how to swim the water even this close to land is pretty deep.

By now Nightingale had started to realize that this day wasn't really going his way. His miniature partner Kite had the thugs on the Run. Kite May have been small but he was more than a handful for these fellows. The gang members were being kept busy by kites hit-and-run tactics, what if you flash grenades hear some smoke bombs there these back street warehouse docking stations were but a magician stage for the small sidekick.


Nightingale however only had a few moments to react to what was going on before him. The leader as it were through before you can to the cold icy Abyss beneath the docks. He started down forwards towards the man with a quick flick of his wrist sending out a slinging Bolas towards his feet. The weights and rope wrapped around the man's leg sending him down to the ground and with a large leap nightingale plunge into the Indigo Waters below. In this dark dead of the night it was hard to see anything let alone the small fragile body that was writhing beneath the wave. However Nightingale was able to seek out what small movements lay beneath the surface of the water practically he searched the darkness through his heat-sensitive thermal goggles. It only been a few solidary moments before he zeroed in on a small figure giving off a heat signature. Frantically he sought to bring the youth to the surface as he reaches it pulled him in clothes and brought him up to the world above once more.

Gasping for air Nightingale started towards the dogs playing with them in the small fragile body boy who was stren into the waters previously he checked to see if the youth was still conscious or if he was still breathing as he swam for the docks Edge. As he reached the hard cement lining of the dock he have to do some of his head and laid him out onto the stone before pulling himself out of the water thereafter.

Realizing that there is no hope in this. The lackies of the gang leader were going to make a break for it. Thinking it was better to cut their loss here and then end up in jail. It was made cleared to them as they saw their leader being taken down by the hero. With what little ammo they had left in their guns, they start to make a break for it.

The young lad was sinking to the bottom, his eyes were starting to close on him, feeling the air escaping from his lungs and being filled with water, he was completely immobile. Of of the black goo was dissolving from his hoodie revealing what it really looked, though it will be hard to see. He thought he was really done for, that this is how he goes. Last thing he saw was a figure coming towards him, thinking it was someone taking his soul away.

As Nightingale pulls him up to the surface, onto the docks. He laid there imp, as though he was no longer alive, but there was a settle pulse, meaning that he was alive. His once black hoodie was now more of a light gray, tattered and worn out like he got it from a second hand shop's Dumpster. There was some holes from it and in better light, the hero would be able to see there were cuts and bruises on his arms and might be more under the hood.

Nighting gale made quick work of preforming Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation as he pumped out what water may have gotten in to the boy's lungs, trying to get oxygen in to his system once more.

"Are you okay?" Came Terry's voice between breaths. His lower mask had been removed to provide mouth to mouth.

He took the hero a few times, but soon the young lad was coughing up water, turning to his side to let the liquid out, gasping for air. With a few coughs, he turns to face Nightingale with a utter shocked look on his face. He just saved him, even though he was trying to hurt him. "Th-Thank you." he spoke in a horsed but polite tone. Then he sees that his boss or former boss was all tied up. He wasn't sure if the others had got away but he knew that he was going to hit the slammer.

Nightingale removed his hooded cloak and draped it over the youth. " It's going to be alright... " he offered in a quiet tone.


The smaller counter part on the other hand was just finishing up not too far off and once the main set was scared off he managed to capture one other... He came over to the captive leaders and with a swift kick knocked him out.


After making small quick phone call Trick started over to the pair. " Time to go boss. The police will be here shortly. " The youth eyed over the half drowned boy and made a slight face before darting off in to the darkness.

As he was removing his cloak, the young lad flinched a little but he had no energy to move. While moving closer, he closed his eyes, waiting for a hit, bit never came. Slowly opening them, he looks around and sees that he had covered him with it, which brought a surprise and confused look on his face. Still it was a nice gestured and wrapped it a bit tighter around his body.

Hearing footsteps coming he thought that the police had arrived and now he was hitting off to jail, to his surprise it was someone else and they caught one of the other members who quietly groans. With the swift kick that was it, the leader was out, which a part of him was kind of relief. Feeling their eyes in him he looks back with a glare like a 'what are you looking at' expression before they took off.

Once Trick was gone he turns back to Nightingale. "So...aren't you gonna cuff me?" he spoke in a soft grumbling voice. His leader was knocked out, a former member was tied up, he assumed the others are gone and most likely the police are coming. He lowered his head and his shoulders start to tremble. "...Shit." he whispers under his breath.

"No... I don't think I will... You're coming with me. " Nightingale said gently and moved to scoop the boy in to his arms. "You don't look so good and a cold cell won't do you any favors." he said as he started off after his young counter part.


It wasn't long before the pair made it to the bikes. He settled the boy on the seat before him and mounted the bike keeping him in front sort of in his lap as he started the motor cycle up.

Trick offered a questionable glance towards Nightingale as he started up his own bike. He didn't speak up against this turn of events.

His eyes widen when he tells him that he was coming with him. "Wha-ah!" he yelped as he was picked up. Though it's not like he was heavy, but it might be hard to tell with how wet his clothes are. Since he was not expecting that, he reacted by wrapping his arms around his neck so he wouldn't fall off. He was a little frighten with the idea that he was being taken somewhere that wasn't a cell. He did just fight him so maybe he wanted to punish him personally and will take him to some short of torture chamber.

As they apporched the bikes he sees the other one and he had his own. Now he had never been on a bike before and was a little nervous, thought he tries not to show it and grabbed hold of the handles that had any of the gears you need to drive.

It wasn't long before they started off, motors humming with power as they cut their way through the night. As the ride came to a close they pulled in to an underground garage through false wall in a poor neighborhood near the outskirts of town. . . the large hydrolic doors shut behind them.
