“My poor son. Why did they take you? Your power was just bad luck! Why would they hunt you like a dog?!”

“Lucky, come on man, calm down. You don’t want to make any mistakes right now. Please, let’s go to the funeral and mourn. I’ll make sure no one interferes I promise. Just calm down please, I beg of you.”

“Fred?”

“Yes lucky?”

“Where was his assigned hero?” The heat rising on lucky’s voice was almost physical.

“What are you talking about?”

“Fred, we have been arch enemies for so many years. I know you were assigned to me because you can’t slip. I know your powers, and you know how mine can go, so don’t lie to me. Where. Was. His. Assigned. Hero?” The anger just getting more physical.

Fed was activating his powershr could feel his grip to the earth getting stronger. Everyone thought Lucky was just lucky. They thought he just got away and completed his robberies unscathed because he was lucky.

However no one believed Fred when they told them he controlled luck. They laughed at him and his underwhelming power because the main source of Luckys escape was people slipping and falling while he got away.

More often than not Lucky got lucky because other heroes got in Fred’s way and stopped him from nabbing him, but when we there wasn’t anyone to hinder him, he would witness Lucky‘s ability full force and it was awe inspiring.

“Lucky, Phase girl is in her honeymoon and your son wasn’t deemed a high risk. No one expected him to go into a casino and bankrupt the mob with everyone winning! Did he k ow his bad luck could affect others??”

“I don’t know Fred, but I know I’m going to your headquarters. I’m going to bring your headquarters down and everyone in it. You try and stop me and so many more will be hurt.”

“Ok Lucky, I’ll at least try and get people away.”

“That’s a good hero Fred. Your hearts always in saving people, to bad you didn’t have a stronger power, because you would’ve been the best.”

As Lucky approached the Hero Hall with its big gaudy letters on the front, cyberman stood before him.

“Lucky, dead or ali—“

The H fell off the building crushing the former cop now cyborg.

“Dead like my son Cyberman.”

Lucky concentrated his powers and watched as hero’s started running for the door when a meteor cam careening through several buildings and slowing it down enough that as it crushed the building and heroes inside it barely made shockwaves outside a few meters of the building.

“Well that was lucky” Lucky said to himself.

“Ok Fred, I know you are nearby and we can go to the funeral and I’ll let you arrest me. I have a feeling nothing will cause us any problems on the way.”

He protected her from the fire extinguisher system .

>“No!” John ran, unsure of his plan as he jumped into the circle, shielding the center flame from the foam with his body. The pain grew as the flame cut through his coveralls, then stopped, more than stopped. He felt great. Had he been afraid?

>She stood and brushed herself off, sending a cloud of soot up again. A small drip of more foam came from the ceiling in reply. “Ah,” she yelled, laughing. “Can you turn that off?”

That second part to me says the system could hurt or kill her.

Nope you were right the first time! He got to keep his soul by trying to save her lol

And I’m a huge advocate for nuclear.

Nuclear’s big problem is everything is custom and not mass produced.
