Chapter 21 - 21. Clap Clap

Yesterday I saw a vid of a man risking his life by climbing a building to save an old man ... Despite the chance of death.

The dude didn't even hesitate as he clung to the drainage pipe and climbed 3 floors or something.

He could have fell down and died ... But he just moved ... You could see this guy rushing like a mad man while others screamed and filmed.

So some of you ... really are edgy to think people can't be good for the sake of being good ... Sorry to say this but it's the truth. Like the comments were proof of that, saying how unrealistic it was for someone to run into a fire to save a random kid.

Helping others isn't being goody two shoes but thinking it's goody two shoes is being edgy.... And this generation seems to be going in that direction.

When you say stuff like humans won't do this or do that , I feel like you are insulting kind people... being an asshole or cynical isn't something to be proud of.

Hell's kitchen Waterfront….

*3rd Person*

Two armed thugs were patrolling together , one of them cautiously gazed into each and every corner of the shadows while the other was laid back and almost lax.

The former flinched and jumped at even the smallest noise as he gazed at the shadows and dark corners with a terrified gaze.

" Why are you so on edge, man? Relax a little… Nobody is getting through armed patrol, much less get near the shipment without alerting all of the others~" The carefree thug chuckled in a laidback manner as he couldn't help but find the cautious nature of his partner amusing.

"You don't understand he could be anywhere … " The nervous one said in a grave tone as he didn't relax his guard.

"Pfft~ You are still on about that Shadow Demon guy? Hahaha! The only demon out here is me , and even if some 'Demon' shows up I'll just put a bullet in its skull…" The cocky thug smacked his partner on the shoulder as he couldn't understand why the latter was being so timid.

They had guns and were armed to the teeth , if some bozo showed up then all they had to do was light them up.

The thugs weren't aware of the invisible drones flying beside them , broadcasting their conversation to an audience of 5000 people.

[ Yukio: By Demon they mean Noir- san right ? ]

[ Kitty: My Lord ain't no demon! He is vengeance!!! ]

[ Monet: Stop being such a child , it's embarrassing…]

[ Seol Hee: The chat seems lively (^▽^) ]

[ Silk: Just a few days ago it was just a couple of us… it's kind of nostalgic ]

[ Nat: It's to be expected that he would explode in popularity due to the unique nature of his streams. ]

[ Seol Hee: Mr Hero deserves to get popular since more people should see the truth and the good deeds he does ୧( ˵ ° ~ ° ˵ )୨ I just hope people don't try to emulate what he is trying to do since it could be dangerous

(/.\) ]

…..

" H-Hey do you feel the docks are a bit too silent ? It feels a bit unsettling…" The nervous thug tried to warn his partner about the bad feeling he was having.

" Come on dumbass, it's the middle of the night in the empty Docks , of course it's going to be silent , if you are being such a pussy then you can go home , just give me your pay~ " The cocky thug said in a dismissive manner

" I-I… Fine you can take my pay , I'm leaving man … it just feels creepy…" The nervous thug didn't bother to argue as he trusted his gut feeling and it was telling him to get the fuck out.

Money can always be made on another day and tonight he was feeling this sick and murky feeling and a chill on his back like a predator was watching him.

He had a bad feeling about this and this chill was far worse than the time his girlfriend told him that she was pregnant forcing him to go get milk….

…..

"Pussy.." The cocky thug scoffed as he gazed at his partner whose back disappeared into the darkness.

" Aaaaarghhhh!!!!!"

*Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!*

Loud gunshots and a terrified scream resounded making The cocky thug gulp as he held his gun tightly in his hands , while his partner's scream still resounded in his mind.

"T-The hell! " The cockiness was all but gone as he clutched his gun tightly while moving towards the darkness.

"H-Hey Travis! T-This ain't funny man… If this is some elaborate prank to get back at me then I'm kicking your ass! " The thug shouted trying to appear brave as he walked slowly towards the darkness.

" Travis , if you don't reply in 5 seconds then I'm going to visit your girlfriend and lay down the pipe! " The thugs shouted in an annoyed tone as his hands trembled in nervousness.

" Are you some kind of plumber? " A childish voice asked the thug.

"Yeah~ Hehe~ The best kind~ "

"Oh~ Then you must have laid a lot of pipes then…"

" You bet! Huh? " The Thug suddenly realised something was wrong as he turned around with his eyes wide open as only the empty darkness greeted him.

" T-The fuck! T-Travis this shit ain't funny bruh! I swear to God I'll put a bullet in you if you don't stop messing around! " Sweat started to trickle down his face as his heart was hammering against his ribcage as the silence was getting more and more unsettling.

He suddenly received a Kick to the butt sending him sprawling to the ground as his gun cluttered away from his grip leaving him unarmed and …. very much terrified.

When he got up to look for his gun he got sent to floor with another kick.

"Ugh!" He groaned as the kick wasn't strong enough to break anything but just enough to send him rolling to the ground and the damage was far more psychological than physical as he was being kicked around in the dark not even knowing what was happening….

….

*Clap* *Clap*

A clap resounded in the darkness as the thug had a terrified expression on his face as he had been trying to run away only to be sent back by a kick or a push.

He couldn't even see the attack , it was like the attacker never existed in the first place.

And these claps.. these damned claps were making him feel terrified.

The thug was sitting on the floor while gazing frantically at his surroundings as his body was trembling in fear.

" Wanna play hide and clap~ "

*Clap!* * Clap!*

"Aaaaaargh!!!!!!"

....

[ Nat: Was the horror movie stimulation really necessary? You made the poor guy shit his pants ]

[ Kitty: It was fun tho!! ]

" Well, Kitty was spamming in the chat and I thought it would be amusing…" Noir said in a slightly laid back tone as he was sitting atop one of the cranes while he watched the police doing their job and he could make out the silhouette of Yuri among them.

[ Seol Hee: So Mr Hero also has this side to him… I thought you only knew how to brood ~ 。(*^▽^*)ゞ ]

" Of course not, I'm not some edgy emo guy in a dark suit fighting crime to find his purpose or something…" Noir rolled his eyes as he replied in a slightly amused tone.

[ Jubilee: Eh!? You aren't? ]

...

[ Jean: Then why do you do what you do ? ]

Noir paused briefly as he took in the question.

Why is he doing it? Was it for power ?

Maybe, but not completely either.

Power was never the full reason.

" Because it's the right thing to do… " Noir said calmly as he placed a hand on his chest while feeling the beating of his heart.

[ Yukio: Ugh! I can't! Watashi no kokoro!

(⁄ ⁄>⁄ ▽ ⁄<⁄ ⁄) ]

[ Seol Hee: Mr Hero ….. (〃ω〃) ]

[ Bob: Man… Noir I think I'm gay…]

[ Yukio: Noir-san! I have decided! I'll be your Yome! ]

Nori's lips twitched as he gazed at the message, Kitty's friends were as unique as her.

"I have a girlfriend.." Noir said calmly as he got up and stood on top of the crane, overlooking the city and the ocean.

[ Seol Hee: (◯Δ ◯ ∥) ]

[ Monet: Eh? ]

[ Kitty: As expected of Lord Noir! ]

[ Bob69: Unfair!!! ]

[ Yukio: Eh!!! That's a bummer, but it's alright I can be the mistress, and you can come to me when your girlfriend bullies you~ I'll heal you with my gentle love! ~( ˘▾˘~) ]

"I'll keep that in mind~ " Noir chuckled as he took a step towards the empty air causing his body to fall.

But he didn't get panicked as he spread his arms and let himself freefall and his body plummeted rapidly , he showed no visible distress.

Just as he was a few metres away from the ground he vanished into the shadows…

….

Next day....

Baxters …

*Adrian POV*

"I recently came across something amusing~ " Susan was gazing at me with narrowed eyes as she had an amused smile on her lips.

" What might that be? " I don't know why she was looking at me like that, but it shouldn't be anything good.

" It's an interesting Livestreamer… Noir … you wouldn't happen to know would you? " Susan leaned down with a mischievous twinkle in her eyes as she pinched my cheeks like she was talking to a small kid.

"Nope…" I played dumb while pushing her hands away from her as the older woman pouted at being denied her cherished past time of rubbing my cheek like I'm some doll.

"Be safe… don't make me worry too much…" Susan ruffled my head as she moved back to her office with that sway in her hips that was hard to not look at.

I know she knows ,but I wasn't too worried because in the end all that matters is her care and concern.

I thought a half mask should be enough to hide my identity and it's enough but for someone like Susan who has known me for so long it wouldn't be impossible.

And I didn't mind if Susan was aware of my vigilante activities because I trusted her enough…

….

"Ohhh~ " Susan let out a comfortable exclamation that sounded more like a moan making it hard for me in many ways.

"Could you not do that…" I couldn't help but chide the blonde for purposefully making aroused noises.

" Do what? " Susan looked back over her shoulder with an innocent expression.

" Make raunchy noises like a porn star …" I left out a tired sigh as massaging Susan's body was one thing but hearing her make these sexy noises was another.

She was truly testing my patience here.

" But it's your fault for being so good~ " Susan pouted as she laid back down on the sofa and I went back to massaging her neck and shoulders as I could sometimes feel the way she trembled at my touch.

Luckily Susan stopped moaning seductively but her involuntary moans were even more troublesome and I tried my best to think about anything but the soft body of the woman underneath me.

My thoughts couldn't help but go in a certain direction and it didn't help that Susan was currently single and was always flaunting herself at me , and teasing me every chance she got.

Reed Richards was either gay or an idiot… because from what I knew he clearly didn't cherish what he had with her.

How the fuck is being knee deep in research more important than being Balls deep in Susan Storm…..
