Skull laughed hard standing up he faced Verd, and shook his head at the boy, and then without so much as a flinch he shot his shotgun point blank at Verd's left sending him to the ground. It wasn't even a quick draw the maddened criminal shot through his own holster and "Frankly you dumb shit I don't fucking care. Because not only do you not have a knee but now you don't have a chance at surviving aside from licking the fucking goop off the ground. Well there is one syringe you missed but I think metal girl deserves it a lot more than you." Skull said as he turned to Midnight. "And you I don't know what you plan on doing, hell I don't even know if that body of yours is capable of hosting the parasites. You can try to kill me. Vaporize me whatever you wanna do. But make no mistake I get my assignments directly from the big man. The Black Hand who can rob big banks, kill politicians, and ruin an entire country just by making a few phone calls to his boys. And I'm a pretty popular boy given my methods of terrorism, and violence. Makes me a good target for countries that wanna know the big boys are here. Wonder what happens to boys who kill the really useful folks? Put a cap in my head." Skull said kicking Verd in the face hard enough to break his nose and he grabbed the gun and emptied the magazine from its place in the gun.
"Now there MIGHT be a chance to save him but old Shady is your boss right? Well we'll be able to get you to him soon enough to stop the bleeding. If you think I was joking about the poison though you're not correct. I did in fact sentence you all to death by way of genetically altered parasites. So you better get to lickin'... Why would I do this you may be thinking? Why would I do this you're probably going to ask next? The Black Hand wanted to cull the herd. Anyone who couldn't handle a few heroes, and a teacher wasn't worthy of the big man's time. He didn't have time to waste on incompetents. This world is on the path to change, and those who can't help that change are worth less than my boots." commented Skull as he sat back down.
"A traitor in your midst was seen during the last bank heist you all were assigned to, the reason Shady got off the hook was because he's the boss's man. He's the real 'OG' by your kids' words. However those who fail to get the job done...Sakura King, and Elephantus getting away for example...and nearly fucking up a bank heist? Like that brawny dude who let a civilian get away, and almost got rocked by the cops? Well boss calls that liability. The others failed drug runs, and or weren't competent enough so that's why they're choking their last breaths back at the stadium, or they're in the other trucks healin' up. In other words this is a simple run of the mill way of getting rid of losers. Except...I'm a bit less lenient than others. Boss left it up to me to decide your fate. So don't you go pissin' to Shade Walker, or the boss's advisers saying they're scum, they are but that's a different matter entirely, as I'm the one solely responsible for the choice to feed you all the my little pets. To me liabilities are as good as rusty chains you proved you had some skill so there. You should've all had a free ride but the kid here wanted to try, and talk trash to a mass murdering, biological weapons manufacturing, town burning, psychopath that is myself." Skull stopped his long winded speech and simply spread his hands out. "This was a business matter nothing personal at all. I don't know any of your names I just got the papers from suits who put your names on the list." Skull said he waited for any responses but it was clear whatever happened next he couldn't care less he had spelled out killing him was a death sentence, and that the broken syringes weren't a joke. His dead eyes revealed little other than boredom at this point.
Despite all of this shortly after the truck stopped, and one of the men in the suits opened the door they were in a large parking lot behind a big facility. "Sir what's wrong I heard a shot." the man said as Skull pointed at the broken vials of the cure, "You know this kid really doesn't deserve this but here copy this Six." said the crime boss as he threw the last remaining syringe at the soldier who caught it, and without question he began to use his quirk. The syringe began to multiply, and then there were four in a quick succession. As the man got in Skull pointed at the kid, and the man knelt down, and injected the syringe's contents into his arm, before tying up the shotgun wound, and then handing one to Diesel but Skull stopped him from giving one to Midnight. "He's energy; don't need it. Get back to driving I'll ride shotgun so move over." Skull said as he walked out the back of the truck, and stopped. "Never say I don't have some sort of humanity kid. And remember yelling at guys like me in The Black Tree doesn't end well. Shade Walker may be lenient to newbies but I'm not." Skull said shutting the door, after putting on his mask.
