(*double post...my bad...I know I am overstepping my bounds but I needed to drop this part of the story, I apologize for any editing you may have to do. PM me with any questions)<br/><br/>â€œSamâ€¦..Samaritan, Youâ€™ve come here for what reason?  I donâ€™t want to see you anymore, Look at what youâ€™ve done to me..â€ Synergy started to cry, her tears were like burning magnesium, they scorched the floor underneath her.<br/><br/>â€œâ€™Doneâ€™ what? Look at you, youâ€™re literally glowingâ€¦ You are more beautiful than anything Iâ€™ve ever seen!â€ The Samaritan called back.<br/><br/>â€œApparently not more beautiful than Lady Vadra Prime, Her DNA signature is all over you, stop off for a quickie before you decided to drop by to see old friends?â€œ Doc Phosphorus added in, he received dirty looks from both Samaritan and Synergy.<br/><br/>â€œAlright enoughâ€¦.As I said, Samaritan, we have nothing to discuss, all the damage you could have done to me is already done now anyway, So if you are done destroy the Hall of Legendary Heroes then please use the door to leave, I think weâ€™ve had all the redecorating we can handle for one dayâ€¦..I might add that you were very lucky Phil and I were the only ones here today, I am fairly confident that Black Sentinel would have torn you asunder if he were not engaged in finding a new sidekick.â€ Synergy spoke up and silenced any on coming argument between her current love interest and her last.<br/><br/>â€œLet me worry about lilâ€™ Blackie, Sarahâ€¦.I wantâ€¦.I want you to forgive me and come away with me. I want you to come out to my island and live with me in my liar. We can grow ancient together, maybe even find a way to have children-â€œ Samaritan started to plead, but again Doc Phosphorus cut in  by scoffing at the idea of them having children.<br/>â€œYouâ€™ve taken<span style="font-weight: bold">that </span>very option away from her Sam, She doesnâ€™t have a physical form anymoreâ€¦You stolen her humanity and that is why she hates you, and rightly so.â€Dr.  Phil Phosphorus growled angrily, actually stepping forward and puffing out his bird-like chest.  The Samaritan now ignored the skinny super-scientist and only stared deeply in his â€˜goddessâ€™ glowing eyes, searching for any glimmer of hope, but found no reprise as they dropped to floor.<br/><br/>â€œSynâ€¦Sarahâ€¦Please hear me outâ€¦This isnâ€™t a triviality, I have it on pretty good authority that the world is going to change very soon. We could watch it from my beach, bid it a fine farewell and toast it with Champaign as it fades away. We would be the new gods, we could create an entire pantheon of peers to rise from the ashes and recreate this world in the way it should be.  You mustnâ€™t let your fate be to stay here with the â€˜monkeysâ€™; we are beings that deserve to be in the company of our contemporaries; not the common mortal. Come with me now and let us start the modern day Mount Olympus like the New Gods that we are. â€œ The Samaritan stated his case, ignoring the gasps of repulsion that Doc Phos was issuing during key parts of his diatribe.<br/><br/>Synergy slowly looked up, her floating energy hair drifting on some cosmic breeze that is unperceived by the men in the room; â€œYou are mistakenâ€¦If this world comes to that, than I will be hereâ€¦.In the trenches and the common man in which I was born, not some ivory tower of our own making.  I am with Phil now, I hope you respect my wishesâ€¦â€ She faded away, dispersing into the very air, it caused all the hairs on Samaritanâ€™s body to stand on end, Doc Phos was hairless and therefore unaffected.<br/><br/>The two men were left staring at each other from the distance of no more than a few yards of destroyed hallway.  â€œTell her the offer standsâ€¦â€ Samaritan said flatly, staring holes through Doc Phos.<br/><br/>â€œWhat happened to Samantha? I thought you were dating a mortal woman now? â€œ Phil asked, he looked honestly concerned. â€œLook, there is this new psychology school of thought that deals with the disassociation super powerful beings go through as their powers evolve, it can have sociopathic tendencies and I am heading a study up for the government. Iâ€™d like to interview youâ€¦see where your head is at?....â€ Doc said, his long thin hands outstretched and palms up, like a man honest offering help.<br/><br/>â€œStop trying to â€˜head-shrinkâ€™ me Philâ€¦I already told you, your tricks donâ€™t work on meâ€¦And Samantha broke up with meâ€¦There was an unfortunate accident, we were passionately kissing and my tongue slippedâ€¦.It knocked most of the teeth on the left side of her head â€¦I tried to apologize, even paid for the expensive and extensive dental surgeries, but she canâ€™t get over it. I donâ€™t blame her, I am sure it was very traumatizing; which is exactly why I placed Sarah into the Evolution Chamber in the first placeâ€¦I didnâ€™t want to hurt her, I wanted us to be on the same levelâ€¦We couldnâ€™t be together as â€˜Blastor Babe  and Samaritan, itâ€™s only now that we can truly express our love toward one anotherâ€¦As Synergy and Samaritanâ€¦ â€œThe Samaritan answered honestly.<br/><br/>â€œâ€¦And so what now? Youâ€™re just flying around visiting all your old flames trying desperately to get one of them to come back to your Island Fortress? Jeez friend, that doesnâ€™t sound healthy, I think you should reconsider my offer of psychological therapy. It might do you some good to get some of these feelings out after allâ€¦.Just take it into consideration is all I am sayingâ€¦OK?â€ Doc tossed his business card across the distance, with a measured flick of his wrist. â€œYou should really go now Samâ€¦If the other Legendsâ€™ members see you here they might not be so merciful, both Black Sentinel and Captain Eagle severely want a chance to pummel youâ€¦â€<br/><br/>â€œNoâ€¦Wellâ€¦yes maybeâ€¦I donâ€™t knowâ€¦But you should defiantly keep your eyes peeled for Vadra, sheâ€™s planning something BIG, and sheâ€™s not messing around this time!â€ Samaritan  gave fair warning, his tone was serious.<br/><br/>â€œVadra Prime? Sam, sheâ€™s legit nowâ€¦.Sheâ€™s not in the Super villainess business anymoreâ€¦Sheâ€™s a media mogul and her â€˜Vâ€™ symbol branding is all over any  and everythingâ€¦She doesnâ€™t even have to be evil anymore, sheâ€™s so unbelievably rich and powerful that she doesnâ€™t<span style="font-weight: bold">need</span>for anything â€¦.<span style="font-weight: bold">ANYTHING</span>! You are barking up the wrong tree there fellaâ€¦.Besides if she was plotting anything big, sheâ€™d have to deal with the entire roster of the Hall of Legends â€¦Thatâ€™s<span style="font-weight: bold"> Synergy and I, the brilliant Doctor Phosphorus, Captain Eagle, Black Sentinel, Behemoth, The Black Witch â€˜Alice Crowleyâ€™, and the Crimson Shadow</span>â€¦.that isnâ€™t anything to â€˜shake a stick atâ€™ as they say. â€œ Doc Phos finished, looking thoroughly bored.<br/><br/>â€œ Tell her what I said Docâ€¦Thatâ€™s all I need from youâ€ Samaritan said as he bolted off through the hole heâ€™d created earlier, purposefully not making any more holes.<br/><br/>Doctor Phosphorus waited several seconds to be sure that the Samaritan had actually left, he then reached down and activated his Synergy-powered teleportation device. In an instant he was dissolved into basic matter and transformed into pure energy, a millisecond later Synergy rematerialized her current boyfriend into their secret subterranean laboratory. It was the power cell that this mad scientist constructed, which powered not only the entire Hall of Legendary Heroes and all of Doc Phosâ€™ crazy inventions.<br/><br/>Synergy was floating inside her usual location, the suction chamber that Doc Phos had designed to syphon her powerful cosmic energies. Large suction cups connected to powerful machines which were attached to all her major chakras, they sucked and pumped away drinking her in like an endlessly hungry mechanical infant. Doc Phosphorus walked up to the â€˜feeding chairâ€™ and stared upward at Synergyâ€™s naked form, she convulsed and spasmed as the machine continually suckled her energy based lifeblood.<br/><br/>â€œCan you believe his nerve? Coming here after this many years, after how many countless times weâ€™ve reached out to him, to request that you actually join him on his little ego trip god complex? How utterly disgusting of a beast he must beâ€¦.Honestly I donâ€™t know what you ever saw in him my dearâ€¦â€ Phil bitched, and he stalked up to the control panel and issued his drones clean up orders and repair duties. â€œAt least I was able to get a more recent scan of his power signature, It gives us a much needed advantage, I guarantee the next time he takes a blast from my Phosphorous blasters he wonâ€™t just wince it off!â€  Doc Phos greedily rubbed his hands together as he reviewed the new scans.<br/><br/>â€œPhilip? You are one of the smartest men ever born on this planetâ€¦.Do you think I made the right decision?â€ Synergy asked in an offputtingly calm manner. She was nearly omnipotent and she didnâ€™t need to ask anyoneâ€™s opinions on anything and here she was questioning her cosmic knowledge; Philâ€™s mind raced at the possibilities, his scientific yearnings out weighing the certain jealousy he felt as a manâ€¦but not by much.<br/><br/>â€œI think that I am wise enough to know that you are keyed into a higher level of existence, and that any decision you make is most likely the best decision that could be madeâ€¦If you decide that you wish to remain here with me than that is the best possible decision that can be made universally speaking. You know that my own personal opinion is lacking in my regards to your former teammate, so I am not impartial, and my opinion doesnâ€™t come into the equation. He took my property and in my mind he is a thief and a bully, plain and simple. â€œ  Doc concluded, showing a bit of his own flawed human side.<br/><br/>â€œYes I know Philip, it is a curse to always know the outcome of situations, I still long to be surprised once in a whileâ€¦.a remnant of what I used to be, I am sureâ€¦.But sometimes I still wonder if doing the opposite of what is fated to be isnâ€™t the better optionâ€¦.I still yearn to â€˜break the moldâ€™ and the saddest thing is that the Samarian maybe the only other being on earth that can truly understand that â€¦.it is an enigmaâ€¦â€ She stated flatly, not trying to hurt her â€˜boyfriendâ€™s â€˜ still human feelings, but not trying to spare them either.<br/><br/>Doc Phosphorus was a analytical man, he wasnâ€™t known for great displays of emotion and so when any did so it was something to take note of. A singular tear whelmed up in the corner of his goggle covered eye and dripped out through the seal on his sunken cheek; fizzling and evaporating in the close vicinity of Synâ€™s energy field. It wasnâ€™t the only thing; he no longer grew hair on his body of any kind, electrolysis through proximityâ€¦none of which Philip Phosphorus PhD. Held against the love of his life.<br/><br/>He started slowly, only his usual baritone voice was reduced to a near quivering shrill. â€œBeing with you â€¦so closely for so many years has given me<span style="font-weight: bold">cancer</span>, as I am sure you probably already knowâ€¦I have done my best to resolve my health issues, but the cure escapes me yetâ€¦my body simply canâ€™t handle the amount of radiation you give off even in your most subdued form. I donâ€™t regret our time together though, I cherish it, and you are the<span style="font-weight: bold">most</span>amazing thing in my very amazing life. I will stand by you to the end, no matter what you decide to do Sarahâ€¦.I love youâ€¦Does<span style="font-weight: bold"> he</span>?â€ He sorrowfully talked as he preoccupied himself with computer calculations.<br/><br/>â€œYou are both loyal and betrothed to me Philip, your ability to comprehend the heavy topics of astral conceptions is why I first considered you, and only you, after what Samaritan did to me.  He carried my sleeping form into the Evolution chamber and went through it with me. Yes, he betrayed my trust and thrust me into this state of being without my permission, regardless of the implicationsâ€¦ironically it is this blind ambition and singular vision that compels me to be with himâ€¦in spite of his hurtful, self-absorbed nature I still have feelings for him and I cannot deny the urges of the universe which command them otherwiseâ€¦I am divided again without my permission. â€œ Synergy said, first disappearing from the suction harness and then rematerializing behind her â€˜loverâ€™. She wrapped her arms around him, singeing his white lab coat.<br/><br/>â€œPleaseâ€¦.Pleaseâ€¦I have important devices in there!â€ Doc Phos scolded and walked away from her glowing, floating beautiful form indignantly. â€œAt least let me put on my â€˜Faraday body suitâ€™ and we can be intimateâ€¦it will only take a few minutes-â€œ Phil started to offer but Synergy cut him off<br/><br/>â€œNo Philâ€¦I think I will just spend the night charging the batteriesâ€¦Donâ€™t put yourself out on my account, I know how you are with your experimentsâ€¦â€ Syn said and instantly and reformed inside the suction chair, she repositioned the lowest suction cup for<span style="font-weight: bold">maximum stimulation </span>. â€œYour precious machines sufficeâ€¦for now; you may goâ€¦â€ She said coldly and Phil walked away defeated, knowing full well that arguing with an omnipotent being whose rebellious cockles have been tickled, was a frivolous endeavor and so he wisely took his leave.
