The Meeting Of Titans

Michael was bored today. There was nothing that appealed to him and nothing that had interested him all day. He had been up and walking around the island since about 6:15 in the morning. He hadn't slept much the previous night for who knows what reason. He did everything that would usually bring about some interest to him right about now. Messing with people, stealing, causing anarchy or any other mayhem yet none of it appealed to him in the slightest way.

Walking down the downtown side walks, the sun was beating down on the island as if there was nothing keeping them cool. The wind didn't bother to get to work today so there was no breeze, everything was still. You could hear the seagulls calling one another in the skies and the waves reaching the sandy beaches, even in the downtown it was heard clearly. Though the oceans were rather calm like usual, the waves were unmatched.

Each building with a window that Michael passed was reminder of his boredom. The face that he saw in his reflection was that of pure boredom and he had no way of fixing it. He would use his powers as entertainment but that wouldn't be very satisfying. His pocket dimension was rather boring and he couldn't mimic anyone's powers if no one was using them. What was he to do?

Michael was beginning to contemplate on doing something stupid to entertain himself since he had nothing to do whatsoever. He wanted to go and find someone to force to use their powers so he could have some fun but that would require him to act rather brutal to a lot of people so that he could even find out what their powers was and he wasn't too much of the patient type. He continued his walk down the street's sidewalk and kept his hands in his pockets as he thought and thought about what to do keeping his previous plan as a back up. Once at the corner he started to whistle as he walked across the street through traffic in order to get the other side. Of course he almost got hit a few times but he didn't flinch since he never cared and sometimes he would even confront the driver as he was never the peaceful one.

Once at the other side, his walk slowed and his whistling stopped. He was feeling the full effects of his boredom again and decided that he would go about his second plan. There had to be someone who has interesting powers to use since this island was felled to the brim with abnormal humans and creatures. Upon stopping, a man put his hand on Michael's shoulder. He spoke to him but Michael was a little displeased with the random stranger's touching him. Spinning around and slapping the stranger's hand off, Michael looked him in the face with a small snarl. "And who are you?" He exclaimed wondering who he was and why he decided to come up to Michael in such a way. Michael was never one to think what he did through so he would always do the impulsive thing that everyone tries not to do. It was a wonder that He didn't try to strike the man.

Michael was still confused about what this guy 'Tyrek' wanted. Just some random guy going around talking to people? That couldn't be the situation at hand. What kind of game was this guy playing? Either way, it seems that he could give some entertainment to Michael's day so he would play along for now. Michael straightened out his face and grinned a little as he thought about what this man had in store for him. "Michael is my name. What do you want?" Michael questioned. His eyes never looked away from Tyrek's face. It was rude not to shake his hand but Michael wasn't exactly the most polite person to be in contact with.

Michael stared into Tyrek's eyes as if he was trying to reach his soul, but in reality he was only just trying to push different buttons to see what the man was made of. So far it seemed as if the man was a prissy little girl, in Michael's eyes at least. Though, his deep stare into Tyrek's eyes, he never noticed that he had been in some kind of fight maybe? He was obviously in discomfort and was trying to fix that but what could have caused it was unknown to anyone but Tyrek himself at this point. It's not like Michael would have cared about it anyways, that would have only been more motivation to actually mess with Tyrek a little more. But for now, he has decided to see what Tyrek wanted him for.

Michael was getting more and more anxious to do something even with this stranger. This man, Tyrek, seemed to have something that he was irritated about or something at the time. Michael smiled to this since it would most likely provoke some kind of altercation between the two given that Michael wanted such a thing and would prove to be a show off. His smile turned to a smirk as the man before him cracked his neck and seemed to loosen himself. It was obvious that he was preparing for something. Anyone could see this given the cliche's from the movies. Whenever someone cracks their own neck or knuckles, then they want to seem like they mean business not to mention they usually attempt an attack. Michael knew this all too well given that he does it himself and couldn't wait to see what Tyrek was going to do.

After only moments, Tyrek wen for the attack just as suspected. Michael reacted swiftly but more in such a show off kind of way. He didn't try to dodge of try to do something so extra special that it would make his powers seem sparkly and god like. As soon as Tyrek began his own movements, so did Michael. Michael moved his hands towards his stomach since that's were he expected the blow to go but was lucky to be caught moving his hands down when he noticed it was moving for his leg. His left hand went down first and simply opened a pocket space portal with a width of one foot. It opened in his palm just in time for the knife to fall inside. About a couple more seconds and it would have definitely been too late. Though Michael kept his own composure, on the inside he was slightly relieved to know that he hadn't missed.

After only moment's though, he found his arrogant attitude again and kept it afloat. He began to think about how much fun it was for him to have almost missed. Its weird, though he liked it. None the less, he was intrigued with the man completely. "So what is it exactly that you want now that you want to attack me so eagerly? Michael asked. His smirk still planted firmly above his chin, and his eye brows heightened with interest. He didn't want to fight with the man just yet, as of now, he was interested in what kind of man Tyrek was. What could he ever REALLY want with someone like Michael anyways?
