《Rise of the Henchman》Chapter 20: A Fathers Grief
Advertisement
“Before I train you on information gathering, you should watch the news. The police found Johnny and his friends.” Stated Seel.
Following her instruction I turn my attention to the nearby t.v. and watched it as the news had the breaking news logo on and had under it the title “Falcon’s Son Murdered” and had two analysts in a heated conversation.
“Someone is trying to take down the heroes and they are going after their families first!”
“No, we can’t go there, the cops found booze and drugs at the scene. Furthermore, there has been word of a sixth person in their group that has not been found yet.”
“And she got close to John and killed him. They are an agent to bring down the heroes.”
“I just said they had booze and drugs scattered around, they easily could have angered their dealer and he killed them. And what are you getting at by saying the heroes are targets?”
“Come on, after the Phanuel travesty, people have been in an uproar and terrorist groups are sprouting left and right.”
“Stop spouting nonsense, there is no proof of anything you're saying.”
“We interrupt this program to bring you live to The Falcon’s news conference.”
“Yesterday night I learned of my son’s death. He was a bright boy with a great curiosity.” The Falcon is standing stoically, making sure his words are clear as he continues, “My son wasn’t perfect but he was still mine. I raised him from a baby to a man and even though he stumbled he was still supported. I still love him and I knew that my bright little boy could come back and shine brightly but this tragedy has ended his potential. Someone took him away from me. He took away his opportunity to change. He took away the most precious of all things, his future.”

The falcon looked coldly at the camera. Killing intent permeated the air. He then slowly said, “The person responsible… WILL PAY DEARLY.”
Hurrah, my first nemesis.

Esper: Search for Power
Dan Martin has a good life. He's respected at his job, and enjoys his work. He is close to his family, and they love and support him. With engaging hobbies, relative financial security, and freedom to learn and pursue his interests, Dan is happy. So it's not particularly welcome when he's selected by an inscrutable and seemingly omnipotent System as a test subject. The downsides: All of this is insane and by any rational analysis he's gonna die. The upsides: Super powers, a cure for a physical disability that had limited him, and above all, so very much to learn (for as long as he can avoid dying). I am very much a beginner as an author, and any feedback or suggestions on how to improve would be deeply appreciated. Chapter releases should be daily for the first two weeks and sporadic after that as I use up my buffer. Please consider this work as a rough draft subject to revision and/or retcon. It is not only my first attempt at original story telling, but at world building and RPG style system design. The latter has been very difficult, even drawing on the brilliant work of many RPGs and LitRPGs for inspiration. Thank you to any willing to give a new story and a new writer a try!
