***Paradox***

Ow.

Perry reached up and tapped the massive scab covering the hole in his shoulder.

Ow.

He was healing fast, but not fast enough to be meaningful. At least his bleeding had stopped, leaving him just a little lightheaded.

Okay, now I need to see where I am.

Perry closed his eyes and focused on regaining his grasp on reality. Friends, family. Heather. Natalie. Eating dinner, walking together at night. The warmth of a hug.

Sliding Stats

Attunement 39->31

Stability 15->23

Perry blinked once, twice, and the all-encompassing void faded away, revealing the inside of the wall.

I’ve never controlled it like that before. Never had any reason to.

Perry leaned back against a container of nerve gas and took in his stuffy environs. It was hot and humid, cluttered with machinery and pneumatic tubes, poison gas delivery systems and the guts of automated lasers and guns. There was a tiny walkway for a repair drone or a human technician to get access to the death traps contained within.

Perry was on the other side of the smooth steel façade of Neuron’s lair, and it was candyland.

I could use this stuff to escape, easy.

Perry had all the tools to make it happen, too.

Between the Spendthrift Perk, Multi-tool, and Aerosolized, Perry had everything he needed to create some makeshift armor and weapons and get the heck out of here.

Except…

Neuron was beginning to become a serious problem. He was emotional, didn’t pay any heed to the ‘proper’ way to villain. Even Monolith was willing to ransom Perry.

And Neuron had come after Perry again, even after he’d cost him tens of millions of dollars as a message.

If I escape, he’ll do it again. He’s not motivated by profit, or even the desire to play the game. It’s revenge, pure and simple.

Perry thought of Natalie waking up in that torture chair. She was very small and breakable outside of her armor, and if Perry had to choose what kind of villain he’d like to fight…it would be one who would play the game correctly and ransom her back.

Now that I have a moment to think about it, what evidence does Neuron have that I have no cap on my growth? The only thing he can prove is that I’ve gotten stronger quickly over the last six months. So does every other super mastering their powers.

So if Solaris got a report about me, what would it do? The man’s friends with my mother. He takes a closer look at me, and finds nothing definitive…

I think I’ll take a page from Chemestro’s book and just kill Neuron. I’ll take my chances with his replacement.

Perry reached out his hand and an impact driver with a half-inch socket settled into it. He began unbolting the wall-lasers from their housing.
