Haven City

"Of course you are. You live up to your reputation."

"Wish I could say the same about you...but maybe that's your reputation...not being known." James said charging up.

"Secret projects, classified... you know the old story.", Marston said and shifted a larger portion of the symbiote over to his arm blade, strengthening it.

"Yeah when I'm done here I'll visit you in the hospital and we can gossip about all the secrets we know." He said dashing at Marston.

"How will that work when you're going to be buried six feet under dirt!", Marston said dashing back at James.

James smirked and pulled his arm back for a powerful charged punch, his arm surrounded in a green aura of energy.

Marston gritted his teeth as he grinned and moved his right torso back together with his arm before letting go off his powerful right hook, thrusting the spear forward as they were close to meeting each other in a fierce clash.

James smirked and at the last second dropped down low avoiding the spear and coming up at Marston like a rocket towards his stomach.

Marston noticed the change of position at the last second but it was too late to make a complete turn around. His spear shifted into a scythe before James' fist connected with Marston's stomach, cracking the armor finally. As he got sent up by the powerful blow the blade of his scythe tore right side of James' back, inflicting some damage on him. "At last--", Marston murmured as he saw it in slow down for him before the impact had him connect with the ceiling and then fall down in the midst of the rubble, the armor retracting and focusing on healing his injury as he laid there knocked out.

James hit the ground and grunted slowly healing as he staggered against the wall. "Damn it....fucking symbiotes..."

"Are you guys making some fucking progress yet?!", Erica shouted into the com.

"Got hung up..." James said hurrying down a hall. "Getting close. Haven't heard from Valkyrie lately..."

"Neither have I" Keith said "but I wouldn't worry about her. I'm more worried about this new SYN, having a hard time finding a weakness to it."

"Rook had a kill switch on him, if we can get him we can shut it down...but Rook is proving to be very troublesome." James said. "Just keep that think busy and away from any civilians."

"We can do that" Keith said "just get that kill switch."

"I'll get it don't worry." James said over the radio.

Rook smirked standing over Valkyrie. "The CIA knew your weakness...anti-matter...enough of it will kill you." He said raising his hand to finished her, only to be sent flying to the side as James flew at him and punched him away.

"I got you" Irons said going to help Valkyrie up.

Valkyrie nodded getting up weakly.

Irons looked back at James and Rook fighting helping Valkyrie

"Just...get me...outside..." Valkyrie said. "Then...help...him..."

The SYN unit jumped at Keith coming down at him with a powerful punch.

Keith jumped out of the way "Better hurry Miller, not sure how much longer I can last."

"He hasn't needed my help" Irons said "I'll only be in the way."

"You have...to...get...the kill switch..." Valkyrie said weakly.

"I'm trying!" James barked over the comms trading blows with Rook.

"Alright, I'll try" Irons said leaving her outside going back to help james

James and Rook were fighting evenly matched due to Rook's powerful suit.

Irons stood watching them for a moment "Alright girl think, how do you get that thing from him when it's part of his suit. Get him out of the suit, duh. You know what the LC says, 'everything has a weakness, just have to find it'. Yeah sure easy for him to say."


Keith fired blasts at the Syn from his wings flying back out of it's way.
