Chapter 24 - Chapter 24: BACK-UP

Damian turned around and spotted Olivia talking to him. He held his bat on his shoulder and walked toward Olivia. He was bare-chested since his T-shirt was burned, and he stood at 6'2" tall while she stood at 5'3" tall.

Damian said nothing but stared at her. She looked serious on the outside, but in her mind, she was pleading.

'I want to die. I want to die. I want to die.'

She kept repeating the same thing over and over. Damian became angrier when he thought about it.

John Godolkin lured children with toys and candy before taking them to his mansion. He would sexually abuse them as well as torturing them. He would then inject them with drugs once a week. Some ended up dying while others gained abilities.

He tortured them to the point where they don't think for themselves but could only depend on him. He made all of them be dependent on him.

They were abused, tortured and brainwashed before gaining powers. Godolkin injected those who were fully brainwashed to the point of no return to be given powers.

David & Gloria were tortured for 72 hours before David called for escape with Gloria. The brainwashing didn't work on David because his ability prevented him from being brainwashed but he can still be manipulated. David's bat was in the same room as him and he controlled his bat to escape.

He looked for Gloria afterwards and found out she had no will in her eyes anymore. He carried her and escaped since the G-MEN weren't in the mansion at that time.

They refused to look back after that and ran as far as possible before Damian found them and helped them.

Every G-MEN member became surprised when Olivia called Damian "brother," including John Godolkin.

Damian looked at her before saying, "Olivia."

"Can you please stop this, brother?" Olivia said to Damian while avoiding his eyes.

"A few years ago, David was here. Did you know?" Damian said to her without mentioning Gloria because she didn't know her, and she was adopted before Gloria got to the orphanage.

Olivia said nothing, and Damian took that as if she knew.

"So you knew!"

"I only saw a record of him," Olivia said, and Damian understood. Olivia became part of the team after David escaped, and it happened months ago. David would've known Olivia was part of G-MEN because he knows her DNA.

"You are pretty good at snooping around," Damian said to Olivia before raising his bat, trying to hit her. Olivia teleported away before Damian could hit her.

She started fighting Damian. She would teleport behind him, hit him, and teleport away. She repeated the process over and over, then she stopped.

Damian was surprised by why she stopped, and when he turned around, he was blasted by Five-Oh's laser-beam eyes. The power was compressed to maximize output.

Damian fell to the ground, and Nubia hit Damian while he was lying on the ground. A tall, metal-black man, Stacker, jumped high and fell on top of Damian. He kept punching him over and over.

Damian's jaw would get broken, and it would heal back, then he'd get punched again. He blocked the incoming punch with his left hand and punched Stacker with his right.

Stacker tanked his punch because he has nigh-invulnerability. Damian managed to stand up, and he was in a standoff with Stacker.

They kept throwing punches at each other over and over. Damian could feel the damage, and it'd heal immediately, but Stacker couldn't feel damage at all. So, Damian was the only one getting hurt, and he healed slowly because new damage kept emerging while the old damage kept healing.

They were at it for 15 minutes, and Damian thought of something. He covered his white energy around his fist like Armament Haki and started hitting Steel.

Stacker started to feel damage afterwards, and the second hit made him bleed from his mouth. The 3rd hit broke his right rib, and the 4th hit made him unconscious.

Everyone was surprised when Stacker went down because this was his first time going down.They stood frozen for a second before someone came rushing at him.

It was a woman who was mimicking a cat, or her abilities were that of a cat, PussPuss. She jumped at him, and Damian caught her by the neck while his hands were still covered in Armament Energy.

"What a stupid bitch. Wait, you aren't a bitch, but a pussy," Damian said before he threw her away like a ragdoll. PussPuss felt herself getting weaker and weaker.

The rest of the G-MEN noticed that this was serious. A woman wearing a black and green suit with orange hair stepped forward, Luckless. She raised her hand upwards, and Damian didn't notice, but Groundhawk came rushing at him.

Groundhawk hit Damian in the head and started fighting him, but Damian kept losing his momentum and didn't know why. Groundhawk kept fighting Damian, and it looked like he had the upper hand.

'Why am I losing to him?' Damian wondered what was wrong with him and spotted Luckless's hand was still up. Damian figured out it was her doing.

Damian called his bat into his hand before he threw it at her. She managed to dodge, and Damian closed the distance towards her in a blink of an eye before he punched her with his Armament Energy fist.

She was thrown backward.

Helicopters and army cars started appearing. It looked like John Godolkin called them when he crashed at his mansion. Damian realised something: that meant Godolkin was in leagues with the government or powerful people.

Damian tried to think of a company that would use super-powered individuals for profit or show. He thought back about the Payback group and how they were part of Vought.

Damian looked at the people who had just arrived and said in anger, "VOUGHT!"

The army didn't get close, and the clouds were black. Damian didn't realise it, but Nubia and Five-Oh were charging their powers when he was distracted with Groundhawk and Luckless.

"Oh shit!"

Five-Oh blasted Damian with his laser beams. Damian realised he couldn't block the attack, so he tried to dodge it, but the laser destroyed Damian's left hand.

Damian looked in the sky and noticed Nubia was about to attack. He tried to use super speed, but lightning is 1,000 times faster than him, and it destroyed his left leg because he slightly dodged to the side.

"Arghhhhhhhhhh!" Damian screamed so hard that the only sound that could be heard was his scream.

He held his left shoulder because his entire arm was missing. "What is this? It's so warm and wet," Damian said as he checked himself and found out he was bleeding all over.

"ARGHHHHHHHHHHH! BLOOD! IT'S MY BLOOD!" Damian screamed desperately when he said that. He screamed in agony.

John Godolkin smiled when he saw Damian screaming in agony, and the G-MEN members released a sigh of relief, except Olivia.

"It's over," Olivia said in a low voice, but Five-Oh heard her.

"Yeah, it's over. We defeated him."

"No. I meant it's over for us," Olivia said in a hopeless voice. Five-Oh didn't understand what she was saying because, from any point of view, they clearly won.

Damian looked at John Godolkin before he smirked at him and said out loud for anyone to hear, "I'M JUST KIDDING!"

His hand regenerated instantly within milliseconds, as did his leg. He felt extremely tired afterwards but didn't let it show.

He covered his whole body with Armament Energy(Abrokinesis) before he could attack.
