"Elemental beings..? Than I hardly see the need to enlist me in your grand escapade... my powers aren't exactly elemental control. Gasses and vapors are more among the lines of states of matter, no?" Vapor looked over the other, making use of his one good eye. His hair still a bit damp from his~

"You overestimate my current level of recruitment capabilities... Many of my men have defected, there's only a handful left still willing to follow my lead." Vapor cautiously looked over the other and let out a gentle chuckle. Although it seemed devoid of joy. "It sounds like it comes with~

Vapor listened intently as the other spoke. However, his cold and emotionless demeanor did not shift in the slightest. "Flattery is a fools game, my friend... just get to the point of why you've contacted me. Surely it wasn't just to idly chat, hm?" Seems recent events have had a rather lasting~

Curiously enough, Vapor had been out in the storm itself. He'd never been one to shy away from a vicious rain storm, especially not since he'd gotten his powers. If anything in the heart of a storm is where he felt the most at peace. However, this peace would not last for much longer. As with a~

"So, there are speedsters other than trackstar..? How interesting..."

[ @riddingthewave.bsky.social ] Avid's cell would've been silent if not for the static raging on within. Suddenly, several speakers near the ceiling of his concrete cell flicked to life with Vapor's voice. "That static is growing so tedious to listen to... I'd really appreciate it if you would~

Vapor let out a small chuckle to himself, sitting in the private section of his lair. He sat on a small bench in front of the grand piano he used to relax and plan out his schemes. With a stretch of his arms and a crack of his knuckles, he began to play a small tune called Carmen Overture.

“𝗜 𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗷𝗼𝘆 𝗺𝘆 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗻. 𝗔𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘁, 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗠𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗸𝗹𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝘁𝗿𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺 𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼 𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸...“

He's more concerned with his immediate plans at the moment. After all, what good is toying with the masses if you don't lead the charge yourself? Until the final bomb was taken offline and James was captured or killed? He wouldn't put many resources towards such devices, instead relying on~

"Four of eight bombs have been taken offline. How curious... with only two hours remaining to detonation, I wonder if they'll manage to find the rest."

"Probability is a tricky game, but me?" Vapor let out a gentle chuckle before a sick smile overtook his visage, sickening to the bone. The smile of a man with no remorse or care. "I'm feeling pretty lucky, so why not try a little gambling~ sit tight, Radio Boy. I have an announcement to make." ~

"I'm an opportunist, Avid. I saw in you what I loved to see in my soldiers, obedience, desperation, and an urge to prove oneself. In James, I saw what I loved in a lieutenant. Rageful, simple to lead on, and the best part? Knowing he wouldn't kill me even if he wanted to, why do you think I~

That was enough to make Vapor audibly growl as he would let go of Avid's hair. Standing up and dusting off his sleeves before taking a moment to breathe. "Perhaps long ago, but those feelings have long since passed. Replaced with less than savory thoughts, I can share some of said thoughts if~

BEACON IS ON. The gate has opened... and the clank of metalic feet ensue... he has summoned the cavalry, but not all of it, only his elite. 500 Fortress pattern Terminators have entered the fight... and now... Now he's going for the position he catched, that SDN's location in the private beach. +

"I still have no idea what I used to see in you two... A brash impulsive gangster and a two-bit radio host who doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut. Quite the combination, I must admit." Vapor's grip on the others' hair didn't falter. If anything, it seemed to tighten as Avid's words struck~

《Tick. Tick. Tick. 0 minutes remain. Uploading message. Static over the radio waves until each and every station cuts out. Before a familair voice exhoes through all of torrance.》 "Hello, people of torrance. You may know me as avidia, the radio host of riding the waves. If this message goes live++

Vapor's grin immediately left his visage, and he growled slightly under his breath before once more getting face to face with the radio host. "I miss when you were nothing more than my little messenger, and James my enforcer. We really could've made quite the team... but I suppose things~

It was an easy enough signal to track, no encryption or deterrent to prevent it from being trailed back to its origin point. An abandoned broadcasting station in the entertainment district of torrence. Given the lack of external security? It was highly likely that this wasn't Vapor's main~

An audible beep could be heard through the broadcast, which caused Vapor to glance away from the camera he was using at the moment. "Well, would you look at that. Seems someone has already gotten a headstart on the hunt~" He clearly had some kind of sensors around said explosives to confirm if~

It had been an average day in Torrence, at least until the multitude of televisions and cellphones that filled the streets all began to echo in unison. Vapor clad in his villain suit. "ATTENTION HEROES OF TORRENCE! A PLEASURE TO FINALLY MEET MY ENDEARING AUDIENCE! I have quite the week~

"You'll both learn your lesson soon enough, not soon enough for my liking, but... I suppose that's a small price to pay, afterall I've already had to pay in blood. Unlike you rejects, that man you shot had a real family. Who's really the monster here? I take people when they're down and out and~

"Ooo~ Aren't you a feisty little ankle bitter. We both know you won't go that far without being provoked. Wouldn't wanna upset your little boyfriend and his moral code, we wouldn't be having this conversation if James had just been able to pull that trigger, yknow." Vapor let out a sadistic~

"You don't want me to hurt him..? Hm, let me think about that for a couple minutes-" Vapor retracted his hand and mockingly stroked his chin in feint thought. "Nah, sorry, Radio Boy, I can't do that. Still owe that son of a bitch for my eye. Your threats are pretty hollow, you can hardly~

Not my type.

"A shark..? He allowed himself to be beaten by someone with shark powers..? Alright, that's rather amusing."

"Listen here, you son of a-" Before James could even get the words out of his mouth, the line cut to static. "MOTHER FUCKER!" there was no thought behind his next action, his right fist covering in steel and slamming into one of the many support beams around him. #AiringStatic

"I miss when you only spoke when spoken too... but we can instill that again, can't we. Just takes a little elbow grease." Vapor's hand shot out and took hold of Avids chin, the Villain taking a moment to stare directly into the others eyes before continuing. "Let's see that bravado when I~

Vapor would inhale sharply in an annoyed manner before letting out a deep exhale. "You only managed to run away from your obligations because of that little rat you care for so much. If not for him, you'd still be a good little parrot feeding me my info."

Vapor would crouch down and pretty well get face to face with the other. "Oh dear boy, I know full well what I'm to unleash upon this city. The very same chaos I've brought upon every state I've been to so far~ it's going to be delightful, a shame you won't be able to see the fireworks from here."

Vapor let out a light sigh as he watched Avid spit on the ground and shool his head before a smile took over his visage. "Oh, Radio Boy, that's what I'm counting on. Interrogations are no fun if the person gives up right away!" Vapor reared his foot back before bringing if forward into Avids~

The silence wouldn't remain for long as the sound of a trap door being unlatched echoed around the concrete for a moment before Vapor entered the makeshift prison. Floating gently downward using his powers, water vapors slowing his descent. "Avid, it really has been quite some time. Did you enjoy~

James was cut off by a sudden burst of laughter coming through the comm link. "Or you'll what exactly, James? I don't think you get it, I've already won. I do hope that gift I left you didn't leave a poor impression. I put a lot of money towards that thermite. Almost as much money as I spent~

"Is that how you see it? Nobody walks out on the black circle, not to mention I still owe you for that little parting favor you gave me the last time." Vapor's hand reached up to gently graze over his eye patch before chuckling with a sinister tone. "You know, I wouldn't have been able~

With that said, Vapor would walk into the next room to ensure he'd be the only thing James would hear next. "If you don't want anything to happen to your little lover here, you're going to be calm and orderly James, do we have an understanding..? I really would hate to hurt him, well, anymore."

For a moment there was static once again, however after a moment the static settled once more and a new voice could be heard. "Avid can't come to the phone right now, please leave a message after the tone." Vapor didn't miss a beat, holding out the ear piece so it would catch what happened next~
