1  Jay arrived by the MI6 building deciding to walk the final one hundred metres instead of soaring in with Aquarius. The MI6 building overall was roughly seventy five metres tall looming over the rest of London essentially. It provided a save heaven and protection for those in need. Jay skipped up the several stone steps and arrived at the main entrance. From there he took a quick left, tapping his feet against the marble floor with each step, and entered the elevator clicking for floor twelve. The ride would take a while and to make matters worse some old low quality background music was playing on the elevator. To entertain himself Jay slotted on his earth elemental glove. This creature was called “Everest” and was similar in figure to Inferno. The armour covering his body, legs and even feet were crafted from Nepheline rock with an unknown protective coating. Because of this Everest was overall a very light orange shaded monster. The hand that the glove was not slotted onto was replaced with a drill of the same colour and also crafted from Nepheline. His face mask was hollow and thick, his eyes glowed with bright dark blue as if neon. His bottom jaw was displaced somewhat from the rest of his head and top jaw as it was forced downwards further than the regular human’s. Jay produced to spin the drill that displaced his hand, even on some occasions he would drill it into his own arm attempting to spell his own name. He had made the later “J” and began on the letter “A” when a young woman entered the elevator. She looked confused and began to look the monster up and down. Jay turned to her and gave off a nervous laugh.
2“Oh hello,” he barked. She timidly clicked the elevator button, the door closed and the two occupied the elevator. She faced away from Jay when he attempted to look at her. He then proceeded to use an icebreaker to make her more talkative “Nice weather today huh?” His “huh?” was gruff and made her leap. The elevator stopped by the floor; he removed the glove, and turned to her once more.
3“Well, see you later,” he nodded leaving the woman to herself. The floor was dedicated to two rows of tables and computers with employees searching information on them. Halfway across the room and to the right, with a table, was Jay’s father. As per usual Divine had dressed to impress with a matching dark suit, shoes and dark blue buttoned shirt alongside a tie a slightly lighter blue. Accompanying him was the man Jay recognised as the one Falcon was trying to snipe. Clutched in his hand was a briefcase. In the other hand was a pocket watch. His face was worn and wrinkled with a frayed dirty blonde moustache that drooped to either side of his bottom jaw. The frayed dirty blonde also went for his hair too. Divine turned to Jay and held one hand out.
4“Colonel Harrison, this is my son, Jay Divine,” Divine introduced. The Colonel set his briefcase on the table then shook Jay’s hand with both his hands. Jay remained stone faced in defiance to the old man practically shaking Jay’s body back and forth.
5“Very nice to meet you,” he nodded and let go of Jay “However, I must say you are rather late, what was the matter?”
6“Oh, you know, just fighting Falcon, one of the greatest criminals this year,” Jay coughed.
7“And well, did you capture Mr. Smith?” 
8“No,” Jay answered wearily. The colonel’s eyes peered at him.
9“And why not?” the Colonel laughed, he turned to Divine for a second then turned back to Jay “Do you think it was some sort of joke to let the Falcon escape so he could terrorise more people?” 
10“No,” Jay replied calmly. He and Divine looked into each other’s eyes; his eyes begged for him to remain good. The colonel laughed, Jay rolled his eyes, and his laugh was completely obnoxious. It was half phlegm too. He turned to Divine who was beside him.
11“I imagine the boy is too young to understand the severity of death.”
12“I imagine you’re too old to be alive,” Jay retorted. Several members of MI6 who were typing in the background burst out in laughter. The colonel turned to Jay in disgust.
13“Divine have you taught your son any manners?”
14“I have and I do apologise colonel,” Divine apologised “It won’t happen again, I assure you sir, do apologise Jay.”
15“I won’t,” Jay refuted. Both the colonel and Divine glared at him “I saved his life today and he accuses me of losing Falcon, even though many agents dead or alive now have and to my knowledge haven’t been blamed not nearly enough as I have, I nearly got shot by a masked gunman with a semi-automatic rifle just to save you.” The colonel looked in confusion whereas Divine looked in shock.
16“Wait,” the colonel mumbled thinking the sentence Jay just spoke over “Falcon, Nicholas Smith apologies, was attempting to assassinate me?”
17“Yes,” Jay replied, nodded and watched the colonel’s face drain to the colour of white. It was a hard thing to tell someone they should be dead but it was something Jay knew he would have to mention “I’m still trying to find a motive for his attempted assassination though.”
18“When or where was this?” 
19“Downing street,” Jay replied “Presumably when you were waiting for your taxi.” 
20“Maybe he wanted to kill you for that,” Divine spoke to Colonel Harrison then pointed to the briefcase he had set on the table.  
21“What is in the briefcase?” asked Jay. The colonel growled and turned to Divine, Divine nodded. The colonel obediently opened the two locks on the briefcase. Jay stood by the table looking at the contents. Inside the briefcase was polystyrene packing with a rectangle hole cut into it. Inside the hole was a rectangular vial. Inside the vial was a red liquid that glowed. 
22“What is it?” Divine asked. Jay turned to him “I only knew the colonel was coming with an important package but not the contents.”
23“This is a one by one metre vial of what is known as DOOM.” 
24“What is this chemical’s capability?” Divine inquired.
25“It has the ability when fused with the secondary substance to be a radioactive bio-weapon with an incurable disease. It could quite honestly wipe out an entire country.” Jay looked confused.
26“Why the hell is this even in our country?” Jay snapped “It should be buried under some dessert for the rest of humanity to never discover again.”
27“I originally agreed,” empathised Colonel Harrison “However on its own DOOM is completely useless, get this vial’s contents spilt on your finger and it would have little to no effect. The secondary substance OBLIVION needs to be combined with it for it to be a danger. However there is a third substance that although undiscovered still exists called HOPE rumoured to be located in the shorelines of America. There’s an entire team of researchers and builders attempting to discover it as we speak. DOOM, OBLIVION and HOPE create the substance DOH one of which has the entirely opposite effect to that of DO in which it can cure anything.”
28“Where is this other substance OBLIVION located?” asked Divine. 
29“My lady friend and lead researcher in science in the organisation S.T.A.R.T months ago, rumoured to be thanks to Felix Giovanni, discovered OBLIVION adding to the substance of DOOM in their storage which had been discovered many centuries ago. Sarah Porter, my lady friend, after being nearly killed by Falcon weeks    ago-”
30“-Which Jay had to come to the rescue for-” interrupted Jay. The colonel took no notice of him.
31“After realising the threat of giving a known criminal with elemental glove powers both substances to creating the biggest bioweapon known to mankind she handed me one of them, as you can see DOOM, with the ideology that this substance would receive the protection from the military and after today the protection also of MI6.” 
32“You still didn’t answer my question,” interrupted Jay “Why are these two substances capable of making a bioweapon in the same country? England, nonetheless, this should be in area 51 with the entirety of that American Military protecting it. In fact, keep one here, give one to America.”
33“We were intending two actually give America both substances,” the colonel responded “They were interested a month ago in the idea of creating a bioweapon that they could use to retaliate fire with against any country that declared war on them.”
34“It would be an exact repeat of world war two then,” Divine commented. 
35“Somewhat, yes,” the colonel nodded “So moral of the story is to keep eyes on Falcon and make sure we get him apprehended as soon as possible.”
36“And I used all my good bird related puns on him that fight too,” Jay groaned “I guess I’ll just have to find some more.” A man dressed in full black and in his late twenties waltzed over with a classified case folder in his hands, Jay already knew he was he had heard of him before, his name was Adam Michaels, one of the best MI6 agents. It had been rumoured by many that last year he had beaten half a dozen gun armed thugs in a shootout by himself. Although the rumour could never be one hundred percent true his powerful muscles and legs that were the size of trees proved validity to the claim. His outfit was entirely black.
37“Here’s some information that might help out with Falcon,” Adam explained. The three stared at him as if he was speaking another language “Nicholas Smith?”
38“Yes?” Divine answered.
39“I couldn’t help but overhear the conversation,” Adam answered and pulled a file page out of the folder “There was some information I researched that was in relation to Falcon and this scenario.”
40“Do tell,” ordered Jay. Adam showed him the sheet showing bank account details.
41“My sister works for a bank and sent me this information, he’s three hundred thousand pounds in debt,” Adam explained. He then turned to look at the colonel “Now, how much do you think is the price on your head colonel?”
42“I don’t know,” the colonel nervously croaked.
43“See boys, I have a theory, Falcon’s a hired assassin.”
44“He gets three hundred thousand pounds for the assassination of Colonel Harrison,” Divine answered. Adam nodded. Divine turned to the suitcase on the desk “This service of clearing Nicholas of his debts is so that the person who hired him can get the vial filled with DOOM.” 
45“Bang on,” Adam replied.
46“It’s a great theory Adam but I can’t see Falcon working for anyone,” Jay answered. 
47“True,” Adam sighed “Falcon’s the top criminal at the moment I doubt there’s any criminal that would even go near him let alone strike a deal with him. With his glove he makes a thug with a shotgun look like a kid with a water gun.”
48“If there was someone more powerful than Falcon potentially we would consider it,” the Colonel jumped in “But until then we have many missing puzzle pieces to this puzzle.”
49“Colonel, I am leaving you in the presence of Adam Michael’s one of my best agents, he will act as a bodyguard and will protect you,” Divine explained.
50“Yes Mr. Divine,” agreed Adam.
51“Meanwhile, while you debrief Adam about the importance and dangers of the substance DOOM in this vial I shall have a word with Jay, my son, if you will.” The colonel agreed and went towards the table pointing out the vial to Adam. Divine dragged Jay aside.
52“I heard what you said previously,” Divine reminded Jay “About how you almost died today by a masked man with a semi-automatic rifle.”
53“And what?” asked Jay.
54“I don’t want you putting your life at risk by being a member of MI6 anymore-”
55“Dad…”
56“No, it was a stupid idea to ever let you in Jay, your service was greatly appreciated but I’m sorry. I greatly appreciate your contribution to MI6 and your country but you have to leave us.” Jay’s eyes welled with tears; the legacy he had once protected now threw him out. This place was one that accepted him and his identity for who he truly was, it was a place he could finally be free with his gloves. 
57“Okay,” Jay nodded, licked his lip and rubbed his eye “I understand.”
58“Jay…” Divine attempted to call out, but it was too late, back turned Jay entered the elevator and shut the door behind him. The elevator began moving down floor by floor. Divine watched the numbers on the screen decreasing and nearing zero. Adam marched over and placed a hand on Divine’s shoulder. He watched the numbers decreasing alongside Divine. 
59“This was the best decision as a father to do,” Adam reminded him “As someone who was a stupid kid years ago you’re mad at the start but eventually you’ll understand people do these things for your benefit and he will too.”
60“I don’t know Adam,” Divine sniffed “I don’t know if that was the right choice. I miss my son in this building and organisation already.”
61
62 The elevator stopped on the ground floor, stone faced and head bent downwards Jay left the elevator and stomped towards the entrance to the building. He brushed past a man on the steps downward, despite that there were no other obstructions to his leaving of MI6. The rain beat down from the heavens and wetting Jay’s school clothes which he still wore, they stank, and after all he had worn them for nearly twelve hours now. Jay grabbed the first glove in his pocket he could grab and slotted it into his hand. It was Shade, the wind elemental, the hood was thin and not the most comfortable that the elemental was forced to wear. The snood restricted Jay’s breathing immensely however he kept it on. Its protection was more valued than nothing. It wasn’t until the first time that Jay looked ahead of him ahead of at the ground that he saw a police car outside with the lights flashing. The window rolled down in Jay’s presence. It was Kokoshi.
63“Hey there,” Kokoshi called. Jay tilted his head downwards again and continued pacing forward “Jay, hello?” Jay tilted his head upwards and approached the police car “Scared I got the wrong person there.” Kokoshi proceeded to laugh. Despite the news that he was forced to leave an organisation he loved working for in the presence of Kokoshi he couldn’t help but smile.
64“Hello Kokoshi,” Jay greeted.
65“I hope you recall our conversation previously, when I said I’d get back to you, well I kept my promise.”
66“I remember,” Jay answered. 
67“Well not specifically you know “getting back to you” as such I actually said we could chat sometime and, you know, we’re chatting now…” Kokoshi blushed with embarrassment.
68“Its fine Kokoshi,” Jay laughed. 
69“Oh okay,” Kokoshi replied giving off a sigh. He reached to the compartment between the front passenger and driver seat and pulled out a notepad with pencil “We haven’t got any information of worth mentioning from that gunman you helped us apprehend but if you give me your phone number I could text you the information or give you a call…Unless you don’t want to have a call then that’s fine.”
70“Either works,” Jay sniggered and wrote his phone number onto the notepad. 
71“Thank you,” Kokoshi gleamed and snatched back the notepad with the pencil. There was a second of awkward silence in which Kokoshi was staring dreamily at Jay. 
72“Anyways, I’ve got to go,” Jay replied and tapped against the roof of the car.
73“Oh, yeah, of course I forgot you were so busy, sorry if I kept you back from anything.”
74“You didn’t Kokoshi, no worries,” Jay replied. His earpiece began to buzz. Kokoshi rolled up the windows gave one final sigh of relief and drove off. Jay on the other hand had to take off his glove forcing his body and school uniform to take the rain that pounded down from the sky. He answered the buzz from his earpiece and attempted to put his glove into his pocket. However, since it was raining, the glove slipped out of his hand and landed on the pavement. 
75“Crap,” Jay snapped “Thank goodness tomorrow is the weekend; I could never clean this school uniform for tomorrow if it was a school day.”
76“Hello, Jay?” asked Divine. Jay bent down to pick up the glove, instead another hand beat him too it, the hand of a female. He looked upwards locking eyes with Beth, a girl from his school except a year older. She was undeniably the best looking girl of the year if not the entire school. Her hair despite the rain was as always blonde, bright and pristine. It was also rumoured her and her family were millionaires if not billionaires. She was extremely sporty as well doing volleyball, hockey, football, netball, tennis and cricket. She did debates, school announcements (if Isaac for some reason wouldn’t) and was the main in the school play. She played four different instruments, spoke six different languages and had been talent spotted twice for two different organisations. Many had wondered how she had time to fit all her responsibilities in. 
77“Here you go Jay,” she spoke and nodded towards the glove he picked up. She had one hand buried into the pockets of her jeans; much like Jay did with his school trousers. 
78“Thanks,” Jay mime spoke and pressed two fingers against his ear to signify, as he did with most people, that he was speaking to MI6. He grabbed the glove; Beth moved forward and grasped his hand with hers. 
79“Jay? Are you there?” asked Divine on the other side. Jay and Beth once again locked eyes both staring quietly at each other. Beth tightened her clutch of her hand around his.
80“I’m here,” Jay answered finally as Beth let go of him. During the phase she held his hand he could not think of anything, it was as if his mind hit a brick wall. Beth smiled then walked off; Jay looked behind him and watched her waltzing down the pavement completely ignoring the horrific rainstorm that was happening. 
81“You took a while to respond after you picked up,” Divine commented. Jay placed his glove into his pocket. 
82“Sorry, I was a little busy.”
83“No worries Jay, look, take today and the weekend of to relax. You’ve been wrapping yourself up in protecting others so much that you need some time to yourself.”
84“Yeah,” Jay mumbled “You’re right.” The rain continued to patter.
85“In fact tomorrow your brother Johnny is having his shift in the ice cream parlour. Bring a friend and go over there to get some ice cream and of course make sure he’s not slacking.” 
86“You know what dad you’re completely right, that actually sounds like a great idea,” Jay replied. The phone in his pocket buzzed.
87“Anyway got to go back to work, the colonel wants to speak to me, chat to you when I get home.”
88“Bye,” Jay spoke. After pressing his earpiece again he reached into his pocket, pulled out his buzzing phone and answered it.
89“Hello Jay? This is Kokoshi. I just wanted to make sure I got your number correct!”
90“Yes,” Jay answered “Yes this is Jay.”
91“Nice!” Kokoshi replied “Anyways, I better get going, I just wanted to make sure your number worked. See you when I see you.” He hung up. Jay with a smile switched off his phone and placed it into his pocket. Transforming once more into Aquarius he soared in the sky, at least the townsfolk wouldn’t be too upset when getting soaked now; Mother Nature had already been soaking them. 
92
93  Saturday had come around faster than expected and before long the plans of meeting for ice cream had actually became a reality. Shamus pushed open the door followed by Jay. The ice cream parlour was half filled with people reading newspapers, on phones or just generally chatting. 
94“Thanks for inviting me Jay, I needed a break from that Physics homework,” Shamus grunted. 
95“No worries,” Jay replied “In fact if you want to pay for both of us next time just so you can get away from Physics I’ll happily agree.”
96“Okay, don’t push your luck,” Shamus winked. The two boys approached the counter and like Divine had said Johnny was there working.
97“Ah, there’s my favourite brother,” Johnny grinned, washed the scooper and approached Jay and Shamus.
98“I’m your only brother,” Jay scowled.
99“Yeah, Jay, that was the joke…”
100“Nice to meet you, I’m Shamus,” Shamus greeted.
101“Johnny,” Johnny winked and pointed the scooper towards Jay “I’m this guy’s big brother.”
102“Unfortunately,” Jay retorted.
103“What can I get you both anyway?” he asked. Johnny’s physical appearance was very different to that of Jay. His hair was dirty blonde and he was six foot while Jay was a few inches smaller. Granted Johnny was three years older than Jay and had taken a gap year out before university so he could get some work experience. Shamus and Jay got their orders and sat down by the table closest to the door. 
104“Well go on then,” Shamus grinned “You’ve got to show me your gloves.” 
105“What?” Jay asked.
106“It’s pretty self-explanatory,” Shamus retorted “I want to see one of your gloves that you use on your MI6 missions.”
107“Yeah, MI6,” Jay muttered. He begrudgingly pulled out the Inferno glove from his pocket and set it on the table. Shamus ran his fingers down the fingertips. His eyes were wide opened. It was a surprise to nobody he was immensely intrigued by this new discovery. He grasped the glove turning it in his hands and grasped onto it with one hand, the fingertips facing Jay who sat on the opposite side of the table. 
108“I wouldn’t do that if I were you,” Jay warned. Shamus exchanged looks with him then proceeded to slide his hand into the glove. Jay ripped the glove off of him before his fingertips fully entered the glove. 
109“What the hell man?” Shamus snapped.
110“Do you know what happened to Jake when he wore one of these?” Jay countered “He turned into a one tonne amethyst and stone infused monster.” Shamus paused for a second thinking of his counter argument. 
111“I could have the genetic mutation; I could help fight crime alongside you!”
112“The chances for that to happen are insanely low and are not worth me losing a friend to,” Jay explained.
113“Oh you’re selfish aren’t you,” Shamus snarled “I get your game. You just want all the fun for yourself.”
114“Maybe I don’t want to lose another friend to these,” Jay retorted with his own snarls. He waved the glove of Inferno in front of Shamus’ face “I was there, pinned to the ground trapped in duct tape, and I saw his face and final emotions when that glove was forced onto his hand and I’d give anything to in see them.” He pressed his head against the cold table top. 
115“Jay,” Shamus croaked attempting an apology, his mouth grew dry and he couldn’t muster the words “Look…”
116“I’m the selfish one?” Jay continued, face still pressed down against the table top “You’re willing to transform into an uncontrollable monster that could damage the entirety of humanity just for your own pleasure?” Shamus held his head in his hands nodding.
117“Yes.”
118“I haven’t talked to him since the funeral months ago and beforehand I had never talked to him before, but you only need to see how Isaac is acting now at the loss of his brother, think of how your family would’ve reacted Shamus.”
119“But I want to change the world Jay. I want to do something my current form cannot.” Jay’s phone buzzed, he immediately pulled the phone out of his pocket and read the text from Kokoshi.
120“New information gained on Falcon and whereabouts. Call ASAP for more information, if I’m not called in five minutes after this text then the police will have to handle the situation.”
121“Work in a foodbank or help in a homeless shelter,” Jay instructed. He cartwheeled off the back of his seat and landed on the tile flooring feet first. 
122“I suppose,” Shamus nodded timidly.
123“Just, whatever you do don’t put people’s lives at risk for you to do what you want,” Jay ordered. Those words resonated with Shamus. He nodded his head like a woodpecker against wood. Jay began to walk off towards the door.
124“Jay, where are you going?” 
125“I need to hunt down a criminal alongside the police,” Jay replied and gave Shamus a friendly nod “I’ll make sure to see you at school on Monday.” Shamus responded with a similar nod and watched Jay leave the parlour. Shamus remained at the table and finished the ice cream he had been served. He forced his fingers through his tangled hair while thinking over what Jay had told him. The main foundation of the argument boiled down to putting others before himself and definitely not putting them at risk of his stupidity and childish ignorance. The door opens as Isaac accompanied Beth entered the ice cream parlour. Shamus faced the wall looking at a nearby framed picture of the building from 1986 to avoid eye contact from the two others from his school. They passed by however there was one important part of their relationship that Shamus couldn’t un-see, they were holding hands. 
126
127 Jay flipped onto the recycling bins that were kept in the alleyway beside the parlour. 
128“Kokoshi, pick up,” pleaded Jay as the phone continued to ring and buzzed with no answer from the recipient. Fortunately, Kokoshi did eventually pick up and answered.
129“Jay,” Kokoshi instructed sternly “Do you have your elemental gloves on you?” 
130“Uh, yes, of course, as always, why?” 
131“The gunman leaked information in the interrogation room. Apparently Falcon is staging another assassination this time on your father. He’s climbing a building and is attempting to snipe Divine in less than an hour’s time. We police officers would go down immediately but for all we know it could be another trap set up to kill us and we heard of the awful thing that happened to that group of agents not too long ago. It’s better, in my opinion, to send someone semi-immortal.”
132“Divine?” Jay murmured and flipped off the recycling bin “If Adam Michael’s theory is true then Falcon would be stopping at nothing to pursuit, target and kill the colonel. It’ll fulfil his contract and would allow him to steal one of the two DO substances, if that is his plan.”
133“Maybe DO isn’t his plan, maybe he’s just trying to pick off leaders of the big organisations protecting England. Especially because after failing to kill colonel Harrison the military and MI6 will be throwing themselves in front of bullets to save him.”
134“We have assigned one of our best MI6 agents, Adam Michaels, as a permanent bodyguard for the colonel and yes the military will probably be sticking close to him as well,” Jay replied “Still, if killing people with little protection but high authority and are responsible for DO then why doesn’t he just kill the owner of S.T.A.R.T? She’s holding onto the vial of oblivion.”
135“Falcon already attempted to kill Sarah and failed. I guess your father is the only one of the trio he hasn’t tried to assassinate yet; it’s a pretty stupid idea but Nicholas Smith has never been the smartest of individuals.”
136“Just sent me the location of the building he’s planning to climb so I can get to it before him and hopefully put him behind bars.”
137“Amen brother and I’ll send you the location now.”
138
139  Falcon pulled himself over the edge of the rooftop after climbing the drainpipe. He rose from his knees to his feet with the sniper, already assembled in his hands. From the darkness a torrent of water was fired colliding with Falcon and knocking him to the ground. The sniper knocked against the edge of the rooftop after skidding across the rooftop for a few seconds. Falcon hauled himself to his feet. Jay stepped out from the darkness. The evening night bathed the atmosphere. Several hundred metres away Jay could see his father at his desk researching on his laptop completely unaware of his assassination. 
140“Back again?” Falcon cackled. 
141“Of course,” Jay responded “I couldn’t just leave my favourite criminal to his own devices could I?”
142“Three times we’ve had this song and dance,” spat Falcon “How many more times of chasing me and failing to capture me will it take before you realise you just can’t beat me?”
143“Okay, to be fair, the first time I was inexperienced, the second time was a chase five hours past my bedtime and I hadn’t slept the night before that and the third time I had four masked gunmen firing at me also.” 
144“I’m somewhat impressed Jay Divine that you survived that assault. Last time I checked your glove was drained of all energy and I had left you with one of my finest gunmen.”
145“The police came,” Jay answered “Just in the nick of time.” 
146“In one way I’m disappointed that you weren’t killed that day,” Falcon smirked “But in another it allows me to end you myself.” He fired a volley of metallic feathers forcing Jay to front flip over them, Falcon charged towards him but was pushed to the edge of the rooftop with a surge of water. 
147“You’ve tried killing many people but attempting to kill my father is the last straw,” Jay screeched. 
148“I guess it’ll make up for one of my best colleagues shot and captured by the police yesterday,” Falcon retorted with a hiss throwing a punch which Jay ducked underneath and retaliated with an uppercut. Falcon was forced backwards a few steps, his movements grew slower than beforehand. 
149“So why are you killing these important folk to the development of science or protection to the country?” Jay inquired. 
150“I talk, I’m dead,” Falcon refuted and leaped off the building. 
151“Not this time,” Jay snarled and took off his Aquarius glove; he looked to the sniper weighing the positives and negatives of taking the shot but instead transformed into Shadow and drew his bow. He jumped off the building after Falcon spiralling down directly afterwards, the fabric of his elemental’s outfit flapping against the air which he hit with such a remarkable velocity. Bow in one hand Jay summoned an arrow which he clutched in the palm of his hand. He slotted the arrow into the bow, drew it back and fired launching the arrow into the Falcon’s left wing and forcing him to head first crash land on top of the nearest rooftop he could find. Jay followed seconds behind and rolled with the fall which allowed him to propel himself forward and rugby tackling Falcon back to the ground. Builders overseeing construction of the scaffolding to the new extension to the building, they obviously were in shock and unaware of what to do when a ninja and a man-sized bird landed feet from them. 
152“Excuse me, sir?” asked one of the older men who was accompanied by two younger men all in their orange vests. Falcon shoved Jay off him but received a kick to the face from Jay in response. 
153“Sorry to bother you boys just trying to capture this megalomaniac, annoying birdbrain,” explained Jay whilst avoiding punches from the Falcon. He launched his foot into Falcon’s chest, used the advantage of that positioning to then kick off his chest and smash his foot into Falcon’s jaw. Jay landed on his feet after the flip and Falcon fell to the roof’s edge after the impact of the attack. 
154“Excuse me, gentlemen?” the old man asked once again. He held a phone in his hands with “999” already dialled in. Falcon screamed and fired a volley of feathers at the builders. Jay sprinted and leapt in front of the feathers teaching each and every one. Their metal tips sliced through his hood and killing the energy from his suit. Jay replaced the dead glove with Inferno’s that since yesterday had become recharged. With Inferno’s new birth he breathed a gust of fire from the mouth piece of the gas mask. Falcon fired several more feathers one after another which Jay dodged with ease. Pushing himself off his tentacle which he shoved into the ground of the rooftop he gathered enough momentum to fly kick Falcon. Both feet pounded into his chest as an audible bark of pain could be heard from Falcon’s mouth despite being concealed underneath the mouthpiece. The momentum was so great that the velocity Falcon was hit with launched him off the building. In sudden realisation Falcon couldn’t glide any longer because of his damaged wing Jay shot out a tentacle and caught Falcon. Despite Falcon’s best attempts to squirm free the claws of the tentacle grasped him tight and wouldn’t let go. 
155“So,” Jay panted turning to the three builders staring in awe “You guys come here often?”
156“What are you?” asked one of the younger builders who took a few steps forward. The older gentleman held him back with his arm preventing him from moving any further.
157“I’m Jay, I work…well I used to work for MI6,” realising the sentence didn’t have much weight and would’ve provided more questions than answers he attempted to clarify again “I’m in association with the police. I’m one of the good elementals and one of the good guys.” That seemed to communicate effectively his point to the builders, at least the older gentlemen who nodded rapidly. 
158“Can you please call the police for me? Tell Jay, the kid with the elemental gloves, has captured Falcon.” 
159“Uh sure,” the builder nodded and began ringing up the police and saying the exact same words Jay had told him to. Jay slammed his other tentacle into the rooftop and carefully lowered himself down the side of the building and with the other tentacle pulled Falcon upwards him. He still attempted struggling and pulling at the claws but again, to no avail. 
160“Believe it or not Falcon but I’m here to help you, I just need to work out your motive for these attempted assassinations,” Jay croaked. His face was no more than two inches from Falcon’s. They both dangled from the side of the building with nothing but an eighty foot drop beneath them.  
161“My boss said if I said anything to anyone I was as good as dead,” Falcon spluttered and tried pulling the claws off him once again. He looked in disappointment then looked at the drop below him “However, if I did fail this assassination I was specifically told I was as good as dead to them anyway.”
162“Tell me so I can stop them,” Jay begged “Then work with the forces, go through the court sentences, spend the time in prison and then come out a better man and make something of your life.”
163“I don’t know who my boss is,” Falcon explained “That’s God’s honest truth. All I know is that they are terrifying; they summoned dozens of pink neon knives or something along those lines. I would’ve looked like a porcupine by the time that person would’ve finished with me but we made a deal. They would clear me of my debts if I killed either Sarah Porter owner of S.T.A.R.T, Colonel Paul Harrison head of the military forces or Matthew Divine owner of, as you being his son know, owner of MI6. I also needed to get the Oblivion substance or Doom substance. Then I could escape to France, make a new name for myself and live a normal life with the money I would receive. Or so my boss said.”
164“There,” Jay nodded. Police sirens could be heard from below “Was that really so hard?”
165“Yes,” grumbled Falcon “If my boss knows I gave you that information I would be dead.”
166“Well yeah, now that you mention it, it might have been a little bit harder to say than I expected.”

168 The three full police cars full of officers had arrived at the crime scene shortly after. Nicholas Smith had his glove’s energy drained after a permitted thrashing from Inferno, which Jay enjoyed more than he cared to admit, he was handcuffed and lead to the police car with a police officer on both sides and a third with a glock a few steps behind with a pistol trained on Nicholas’ head. Jay, dressed as Aquarius, leaped down from the building and landed on the roof of the police car which Nicholas was due to enter. He was kneeling with a hand pressing downwards on the knee that was knelt. Jay stared down at Nicholas who was already looking up and glaring at him.
169“Who knows Nick; you might have some fun in prison with the bad boys,” Jay teased.
170“Just you wait Jay Divine,” Nicholas grimaced “Every night I will dream of an overdue thrashing on your behalf.”
171“That’s uh…thoughtful?” Jay muttered. He flipped off the police cars as the doors were slammed shut. Nicholas and the four police officers had entered and were ready to leave. Several officers were collecting witness statements from the builders and bystanders passing by at the time. Approaching with a steady pace was Adam, the colonel and Divine. 
172“Good work Jay,” Adam started and nodded towards him.
173“Yes,” the colonel agreed “Congratulations in capturing the notorious villainous mastermind that is Nicholas Smith, thank you for your contribution to your country Jay Divine.” Divine looked left and right to Adam and Colonel Harrison that had both already spoke. 
174“I guess it’s my turn to speak huh?” Divine murmured and stretched the back of his neck. 
175“It is,” Adam encouraged, swivelled on the sole of his shoe and turned to Divine with a smile.
176“Long story short, Jay, Adam and I have been going through the best way to tell you this but everything I planned to say sounded stupid so I might as well say it now I’m in the moment,” he spoke. Adam couldn’t stop grinning ear from ear, even the colonel who was standing at ease couldn’t prevent a smile despite his best efforts to hide it “We…I want you back in MI6. We…I…I need you.” Jay slid off his glove and approached his dad allowing for the two to hug. The colonel temporarily wandered off panting his eye with a handkerchief. 
177“It’s funny though,” Jay commented still hugging his father, something so simple yet something he hadn’t done in months.
178“What?” Divine asked.
179“The one time I manage to capture Falcon is when I’m not associated with MI6, you lot are a bad influence on me,” his father laughed “but no, and I’ll come back to MI6. I’ll help my country.” 
180“Right then,” Divine replied, grasping Jay’s back with one hand and showing him the MI6 building ahead of them “May I show you to your new workspace?”
181“On the condition it has a glove compartment.” Jay, his father and Adam broke into laughter.
