Suspects

Rye · Anthros

Yeah, I guess so. I think my ex-best friend was psychologically affected by the tragedy of her younger brother dying at the age of four because of a drunk driver. She was only five at the time but it scarred her. She blamed herself because she felt she was the one who should have died but she was always taking her sadness and anger of the situation out on those around her without even realizing it. To some extent though I think it depends on the person. I mean, we've all had problems but some people learn how to move on, right?

xD Ah yes. Tech shouldn't have a problem with that... who would? He can drag out his forgiveness for a few days... maybe weeks... make them real good and sorry. Hehe.

Black Oracle · Black Hole Survivor

Well i definitely can sympathise with your old friend's loss there. That's a terrible thing to go through! Losing family in what probably can seem a senseless way. But it sounds like the real tragedy there is that the accident didn't just claim one life, but two! The traumatic experience psychologically scarred your friend and as a result, she became a source of frustration to herself and others around her! So you maybe could say, a part of her died with her young brother as well. It is very sad. But you're right, some people learn to move on, though bear in mind everyone gets over sad events at different speeds. Some may learn to cope with their problems faster than others, others may take months or even years!

Great tragedy has a way of twisting a victim's heart y'see. All some of them want is some kind of 'justice' for what's happened to them. *Sigh* Poor insane individuals...

He! He! Grovel before Tech you unworthy Loonatics! *Points accusatively at Ace and the others.*

Hey hey hey! Let's not get too hasty! It's not Ace and others' fault that the vilainess looks like Tech! XD

Yes, i'd like to see a piccy of Ace regaining his trust in Tech again! It'd be good to see their expressions.

Oh no, your foot has pins and needles! *Massages Xtream's foot.* Better?

And yes, injured and weakened Tech is yummy! Tee hee!

Well, here's the final epilogue. "Suspects" has now come to its end i'm sorry to say faithful readers. Thank yous to everyone who has been reading! On the bright side, i have another story to start posting up titled "Forbidden Love"! That shall be coming to a fanfiction board near you soon! Anyways, enjoy this epilogue. I think i may have made Tech a little too broody here, hmm...

Epilogue

Half an hour later, the police had reached the ACS head building. Some of the Science Council members were being questioned by policemen, others watched in amazement as policemen transferred the frozen body of Aqueous into a transport vehicle. Tech’s damaged battle-suit had been removed and he was now cross-armed, leaning his shoulder against the back of an ambulance van, watching with remorsefulness as Aqueous was pushed into the back of the transport vehicle.

Lexi walked up to Tech. “Tech? You look worn out.” she commented.

“Haven’t had much sleep in the last 48 hours, not surprising.” Tech muttered.

She held out some pills to him. “The paramedics say these’ll be good to soothe your nerves and subdue any pain.”

“I don’t need those,” Tech solemnly remarked without even looking, “I’m accustomed to stress and physical pain.”

Lexi gave Tech a disapproving look, but said nothing and closed her hand over the pills. The other Loonatics joined them then.

“Y’know it’s my fault she is what she is now.” Tech confessed, not looking at his team mates as he talked.

Ace lay a hand on Tech’s shoulder. “Tech, from you’ve told us, you didn’t know…”

“Just like Mallorey Casey! My intervention in her work turned her into a super villain as well!” Tech continued in remorse.

He turned to face his team mates then, anger and guilt apparent in his eyes. “My DNA Stabilizer malfunctioned! Reacted with the M-14 and turned Dr. Aquarius into ‘that’!”

Tech pointed toward the police transport vehicle now housing the frozen Aqueous.

“I must be cursed! I’m not helping people, I’m hurting them!”

To his team mates’ shock, Tech slammed the side of his fist into the ambulance van’s metal door in frustration.

“And y’know what else? I built that DNA Stabilizer over a year ago soon after the meteor collision because…because I was afraid!”

“Afraid of what?” Rev asked in an uncommon slower speech rate.

“Of what I had become! My powers weren’t easy for me to control let alone accept in the beginning! I couldn’t leave a concrete house for the first 3 months after exposure to the meteor’s radiation! ‘Coz every time I walked into a metal building, my magnetic energies would attract the metal walls and cause them to start caving in toward me! I’d be endangering others as well as myself if I went anywhere near metal of any sort! I created that DNA Stabilizer to aid the ACS in their research for a cure for meteor-induced mutation. I wanted to be normal again. Now it’s done the exact opposite! It’s turned an innocent person ‘abnormal’!”

Ace and the others glanced at one another nervously, unsure of how to respond to their coyote friend’s anguish.

“Dr. Aquarius was confused, scared, bitter…like I was initially. She was a victim, not a real villain.”

“At least the police now will launch an investigation against the ACS and into the events surrounding her accident half a year ago.” Ace tried to offer.

“Too little, too late.” Tech murmured sadly.

The other Loonatics looked at Tech with pity and sympathy.

“Tech, we all do things that we regret…” Lexi began.

“But how many of you have done things that destroyed lives?” Tech responded with emotional pain painting his expression. Turmoil was written in his lime-green eyes.

“Tech…” Rev tried to comfort his friend, reaching for him.

But Tech pushed Rev’s hands away. “I need to be alone for a while.”

With that, Tech walked down the street, away from his team mates, away from the busy sounds of police radios and talking people, away from the city’s lights, away from his inner torment.

The End.

XtreamCrazy · BUT MY CHEESE WILL GET COLD. D8

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWE!!! WE STILL LOVE YOU TECH!!! *glomps Tech*

Tech: You're making me feel worse than what I already do... T_T

B_O... You are my HERO!!! *goes off to draw something for her hero*

Akira_Cat · Your local cat

Aaaw! You don't hurt people Tech. It's not your fault that the invention did the oppisite thing. You didn't know. Blaming yourself is not going to help. You got to accept it. You're a hero! Repeat after me: I am a brave superhero.

Tech: I am a brave superhero.

Me: Good! Now we can all live happily ever after.

Tech: Oh brother.

StellaMagic · Martian

Nice ending, Black Oracle. What is Forbidden Love gonna be about?

Black Oracle · Black Hole Survivor

Wheeee! Another piccy from Xtream! Can't wait! Can't wait! *Bounces up and down like Xtream does.*

Thanks again for the comments guys! Hope Tech didn't come across as too moody in this epilogue for you all. But he was feeling pretty guilty. Awwww!

"Forbidden Love"? Well, i got the idea after watching "The Music Villain". Not a pairing that i normally support, but...it's a look at the possibility of Tech and Zadavia!

Akira_Cat · Your local cat

Aha! I knew it! Tech and Zadavia are going to get together one way or another! From the way they behaved, I knew they were going to be together!

Twilightgirl:

But Black Oracle hasn't written the fan fic yet.

Me:

Dang!

Black Oracle · Black Hole Survivor

It'll be up very soon my pretties! Ehehehehehe!

Akira_Cat · Your local cat

Me:

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!

Twilightgirl:

I think you scared her Black Oracle.

Rye · Anthros

Aww, poor Tech. D:
He needs a hug. x3
Awesomeful job on the chapter.
Nice ending. -nods- ^ ^;

Black Oracle · Black Hole Survivor

Nooo! Don't run away Akira! I'm not a scary person really! *Akira cautiously crawls back.* Awww! *Pats Akira's head.* There, there! I don't bite....much! Ehehehehehe!

And thanks Rye! Maybe Tech will take some hugs once he gets over his moodiness. *Squeezes Tech.*

Tech: ACK! Let go of me you crazy fangirl!

Me: NEVER!

Tee hee!

zadavias_spirit · Out of This World

Awwww....

You made Tech so sad..... *cries softly*
I wish he would realize that it's not his fault. I mean, Mallory and Aquarius were 2 out of 4571056458 or whatever citizens of Acmetropolis....
But I guess I see your point. Which makes me hate myself for seeing that Tech hurts more than saves...... *cries softly*
But very, very, good. Don't let my emoness confuse you into thinking that this is a bad story, 'cause it's good.

Black Oracle · Black Hole Survivor

Thank you zadavias spirit! I wanted to give some emotional depth to Tech, so i gave him a reason, fair or unfair, to make himself feel guilty over. Glad you enjoyed reading!

kaejae · LUO's Next Top Poser

Poo. That epilogue makes it seem unfinished for me XD Mah gawd, how long is he going to be feelin' this guilt? *pokes you to write more*

Black Oracle · Black Hole Survivor

But...it's finished! Fini! No more! Done! You're supposed to be left feeling sorry for Tech! Yes, not all stories have happy endings. I wanted to leave my readers feeling some sympathy for Tech.
