The streets of Brooklyn were busy , neon LEDs and fluorescents were beaming with light that livened the city , the roaring sound of a power bike sounded in distance .
The bike appeared in the streets, moving down the lane with top speed , the roar from the tyres got louder as it passed through.
Two riders were on the bike with helmets on their head, fully geared in black biker outfits.
Behind them buildings began to collapse , falling like some force was pushing them down from behind, a figure was seen running out of the rumble looking up at something.
A humanoid beast with the form of a griffin levitated in the sky with it's large wings flapping behind him,pushing down buildings with its strong wing. The figure running on the ground looked more like the two bikers earlier , he had a hard time escaping the falling stones as the griffin-like human looked down on him .
The figure tripped in his attempt to run and before him the griffin lowered himself, levitating over the figure , appearing like an angel looking down on a human.
" You can run , but you can never outrun the heroes …" The griffin said with a cold voice , hovering over the harmless figure below him .
"This will teach your subordinates to stop their rebellion before it's too late…. because, every single hero in the agency will hunt you down and kill everyone of you, like I'd do with you now …you piece of inferior shit !"
Claws shot out of griffin's fingers, and he lunged towards the figure under him ripping his head off his body,blood splashing from the figure's decapitated head .
"Sigh…" Griffin bent his head and raised it up to look into the night sky .
" Now to go after that biker…"
He jumped into the sky again and flew off in fast pace through the sky.
***
The bikers crossed over the bridge , with full speed, watching the griffin fly after them .
Maneuvering and avoiding cars in their way , the bikers bolted off towards the end of the bridge.
"Hold on tight Kobbie, we're gonna be safe okay …" the female voice of the rider came through to her passenger who seemed to be a young boy who held tight to her , hugging her from the back with fear lingering around his mind .
Just then several razor sharp feathers flew at them, puncturing their hind tyre, causing them to tumble and fall off the bike .
The two off them tried to recover quickly, carrying the bike and placing themselves on it , but they were interrupted by griffin hovering over them .
" Did you think…you would run and I would never catch up ?" The griffin's cold voice came through again.
The young rider trembled as he sat on the bike, the female one got off the bike petting him to calm down.
She walked towards the griffin, motioning her hands in a manner to tell him to calm down.
" We can talk about this Beast…we can settle this amicably…you don't have to kill , please" She said.
The griffin - Beast began to chuckle , his cold thick voice echoing on the bridge , cars were jammed behind , lining behind each other, honking as they didn't know what held them up .
" Did you ever think I'd spare you a fucking inferior for antagonizing a god like me …you better be dreaming cause it might be your last …" he said and claws popped out of his fingers .
Immediately the female lunged over to push the young rider over the bridge , both he and the bike falling into the bridge in slow motion as he watched Beast fly down with a strong force that shattered the female rider's body .
Droplets of her blood sprayed around as well as chunks of her skin meat , the young rider watched through the helmet the last minutes of his sister.
As soon as he collided with the waves ,a large splash occured , Beast looked over the railings and laughed .
"Work's done" he said and blasted off the bridge .
The civilians on the bridge all got out of their cars..and started taking pictures of Beast as he flew off.
"That was violent…" one civilian said as he looked at the large pool of blood and chunks of crushed body meat.
~5 years later ~
┌Brooklyn, New York.┐
A cityscape arrangement of tall brick buildings, with graffiti art in every alley , on every wall and on every plain surface.
One of those buildings had a small cubicle on the top, with stairs leading up to it. Early morning sun rays scattered across the roof lightening the atmosphere brightly .
A young man sat on the edge of the roof staring into the city , the background noise of police sirens, constant replay of a trap song by some dope rapper, and the loud moans of ladies from the prostitute house nearby .
The young man buried his face into his hands, sucking in the morning energy. His short dark locks poured over his face, his dark brown eyes glowing with a glint of sunlight in it , his dark caramel skin color, well shaped face , the lean but athletic build coupled with his handsome appearance.
└ sigh… ┐
He looked back into the city as he pulled his hands off his face , he picked up a sketchpad and a pencil that was beside him .
An unfinished sketch of his was on the page he opened, a comic style art of a lady dressed in black like some superhero figure , dark skinned and curly golden brown hair . Around her was the city he looked into, the details were the same , like it was in reality.
A smile was on his face as he finished the sketch , he scribbled the name ' Kobbie Trapper' on the page and pulled it out and placed it on the edge of the roof .
The wind blew on it and had it flying into the cin.ty , the paper continued to float upwards showing the view of the large structure that floated far off into the sky .
" Heard it floats over Seattle mainly , we only get that tiny glimpse of it from here because it's to large it covers half the American sphere …right there Kobbie ? Hahahaha " a voice was heard far off at the end of the roof , a man in his late 30s stood with a stick of cigarette in his mouth puffing smoke out of it, his dark skin blended with his back road British accent .
" Uncle Stan , never thought I'd see you in a while ." Kobbie smiles immediately and runs on to pull the old man into a hug .
" See Uncle Stan here been walking round the streets and I saw them graffiti art on every part of the street with the inscription 'phantom' on it and under that stood Kobbie Trapper…I see what you been out there doing, I mean the whole neighborhood respects the hell outta you…but then too bad they'll be losing you to somewhere better." Stan scratched his beards as he looked into Kobbie's eyes with uncertainty.
Kobbie shrinked , his eyes bulged out as he throws his curiosity at Stan " You're moving me away from here ? " then a smirk appeared on Stan's face.
" I know Brooklyn's already part of you, but if you can make it back here after how big you get over where you going …I'll be glad." Stan's smirk stood on his face, Kobbie still had the face of panic on him , he became uneasy and restless as he stood awaiting the next thing Stan was about to say.
" So you see , I pitched some little birdy your work and he fell for it …as a matter of fact mandem said you'd be a good shot at Gifted University." Stan's smirk transformed into a grin which grew wider every second as he spoke to Kobbie.
" You see your art is beautiful and he doesn't want you to keep it to Brooklyn alone , he wants the whole world to see who the phantom is …So mate , get your fucking shit bag. We're going to Seattle !" .
Kobbie stood there shocked ,he went blank for a moment, and just as he clicked back he had a smile on his face .
Kobbie grabbed on to Stan and hugged him harder than earlier .
" Easy there lad , you'd be crushing the oldie's rib in a couple of minuteswith that strength , hahahahahaha…"
Stan patted Kobbie on the head .
" Why don't we check out Brooklyn a little ehhh? " Stan said with a large smile on his face .

┌Arc Tower , Seattle.┐
A group of journalists and their media team stands outside the Arc tower , the atmosphere seemed gloomy and the dark clouds covering the sky that rain is anticipated.
Just then the doors of Arc tower swings open and then they came out –The Guardians.
12 uniquely dressed people in things like supersuits and all walked out of the tower with Arc CEO ; Jimmy Crowner .
Jimmy had a large smile on his face as he walked towards the group of journalists with the company of the world's superheroes.
He steps in front of the camera and the journalists held out microphones to him , the guardians stood behind him in silence ,not doing anything like they were robots .
" I'm so sad that despite the massive contribution this team has given the world , some of them can't keep their shit together." Jimmy turned to look at Presence; the leader of the guardians , Presence's godlike appearance was rather celestial like he was the most perfect being of creation .
" The guardians had to fight one of their own today who went berserk after losing his control; Inverse was one of the best members of the Guardians. But there he was losing himself to the effect of drugs , now after killing hundreds of people he left this team to bear his sin …" Jimmy's face turned bitter as he spoke these words.
He turned over to Presence who stared at him with his blank cold eyes , his white hair pouring over his face and ears , a truly handsome sight to behold .
It seemed like a tear drop found it's way down Presence's face but as it trickled down ,some type of dimensional disfiguration made it disappear into mid air .
" You could say a few things Presence ,the world would love to hear…" Jimmy left the way for Presence to come forward to meet the media .
" I shouldn't be here in first but since one of my very best friends turned away today having me to kill him …I realized the heroes have to be closer to the people so that they;the heroes could save them . Inverse was different, I thought he was different but …things can happen. So I apologize on his behalf, the team too …to everyone he murdered out there ,their families and everything they had …I'm sorry , and …" the entire team spoke in unison this time.
" We're sorry " .
Immediately Presence finished saying these words he tapped on Jimmy who turned around to see what he wanted .
" I need to leave …" Presence said with more tear drops finding their way to pour out his eyes only to disappear into nothingness.
Jimmy nodded and in a flash , Presence was lifted of the ground , flying straight at the Tower of Heroes that hovered in the sky like some floating palace.
Over in a room somewhere in Seattle the scene was broadcasting on a TV station that a blonde girl sat in front to watch .
Tears trickled down her face as she mumbled the words
" They killed dad… "
" They killed dad…"
" They killed dad…"
