The Omen of Death
My presence has marked your eventual demise.
Adam
Metro-Gotham Sewers
Adam glanced to Jolie, her idea of getting out of the city sounded divine. "Good god yes, that sounds wonderful... Even though I constantly feel like dropping dead would be great too, I don't think this is the city I want to kick the bucket in..."Metro-Gotham Sewers
However once Brother Power spoke again, Adam seriously was trying to figure the naivety of the mannequin, he hoped it seriously didn't think it could take down such a force, or thought that they had the resources to take down the gangs running the city.
"You can't be serious... You can't just deroot a deeply instilled city in anarchy by yourself, or with this... And I am not saying I am going to embark on this idealistic bullshit because that's just a one way ticket to getting killed."
Adam snickered coldly once the mannequin brought up vigilantism, like that would be enough to eliminate gangs with a deep firm grip on the city. "Oh yeah, because a one man vigilante army is totally going to be able to stop an entire city of criminals, you'd need an entire army of vigilantes to pull that miracle out of your ass."
However after Jolie interrogated the gang member for the location of her stuff, and then offered Brother Power some people who might be interested, Adam didn't phase from the cold vibe he was giving off, but internally he had to commend Jolie for some of her kindness, it was something Adam wasn't really capable of doing right now. Was that really a weakness? Did it make him a weaker man? Running away from doing a kind thing and hiding it under a thick layer of cynicism? Was that the one thing in his life that still eluded him? One of the things the government hid away hoping to never be recovered?
Nonetheless Adam was preparing to hightail it out of the sewers with Jolie when Thor began to show off his 'holier than thou' attitude. Which really grated on Adam's nerves, because he was letting the gang member run off, and having the at least minimal preservationist attitude around him, and just the training he had drilled into him, while Jolie walked past to catch up, Adam's special ops style training instincts had him rush the gang member to quickly and efficiently eliminate the threat of their plans being revealed. And considering his peak human speed it didn't take long for Adam to catch up to the weakened gang member. Proceeding to tackle him to floor, slowing down at the last second so as to not break the man's bones, as Adam technically had the mass of the person who weighed the most in history, and moving at speeds faster than Usain Bolt meant that a tackle from him would've definitely broken some bones in the man's body.
And proceeding to quickly dispatch of him, once they hit the floor by giving him a strike over the head, hard enough to knock him unconscious. Then with ease picking up the unconscious body, and putting him in a prisoner escort hold by securing the man's
arm with the wrist bent straight back upon itself, palm toward the elbow. The gang members elbow was secured in the crook of Adam's elbow, firmly against Adam's body for the most control. Giving a particularly cold glance at Thor with his gunmetal blue eyes, not caring if he was a god. "Don't worry he's only unconscious, and I have him in a hold he won't get out of even if he does wake up. But do you know that your holier than thou bullshit could've just allowed his buddies to know of where we were going so that they could ambush us and kill us? And this city right now is pretty much run by fuckers like him, he probably has done worse than stealing in anarchy like this. Maybe you can get that through your thick skull, for our sakes he needs to be restrained for the time being so that we can safely make our leave from this godforsaken city. If you really want to make a difference, go join in on the mannequin's crusade you are doing us a disservice by letting him go free right now."
Now Adam came up with an idea that could get Thor off their ass while allowing Jolie and Adam to get out of the city. "How about this, maybe you can take this man with you, restrain him do whatever, and allow yourself to figure out who his boss is or where they are located and go take it on and do whatever you want with those criminals, if you really are the God of Thunder that should be easy and the distraction should allow Jolie and I time to get out of here... How about that? That sound good to you?"
