Sins of The Prince
3/17/1948, McKenzie Residence, Boston
The group had been at the work now, getting some green for everyone to wear now as Namor had walked in and offered a beer to his father and his wife, the two of them smiling as they went and started to prep everything that was there now, at least until he noticed there was a letter there which made the man confused as he saw it was from his mother, “You and mom write?” he asked.
That made the man smile towards her, “Yes… it’s actually quite a common occurrence, we just talk about you, see how things are going, sometimes we just want to see how we’re each doing.” he remarked, making the Atlantean even more surprised about what has been going on before eventually he saw his little brother who looked to be excited, “Come on! I wanna go see the parade!” he said.
“Parade?” Namor asked of him, making the man nod, “Yes, The St. Patrick’s Day Parade, we go every year.” Leonard told him, Lawrence had smiled now, excited to share the experience with his big brother, “Are you going to come? Are you going to dress up as The Sub–Mariner?” he asked with anticipation which made Namor smile, “I’ll come, but let’s leave The Sub–Mariner as a maybe, okay?” he asked.
That made the boy excited and nod towards him now, “Yes please!” Lawrence had pleaded towards him now before they started to get out now, going and started to head out, the four of them smiling at the day that they had planned for each other right now as the group moved and as they did so, one of the sleepers that had been assigned watched them and got ready to move now.

3/17/1948, Boston, Massachusetts
The group had been watching it all now, Namor had Lawrence on his shoulders now, looking towards the presentation that was there, looking towards the people who had been celebrating, having fun right now, The Hero smiling towards it all before he noticed that they were being watched by someone, someone that seemed to not be like the populace that was there.
Thinking, he went and walked over now, going and making sure that he looked harmless towards everything that was there, at least until he had realized that the man had seen him, scowling, the man went to pu a hood on that seemed to harden and reveal Coral armor that made him seem more monstrous as he raised a gauntlet and fired towards the man now a torrent of water.
The torrent of water had went and blasted, making the people in the path move in panic, one of them was unable to move his arm in time and it was torn clean off, making him furious now as Namor went and stripped off the clothes that he wore, “Imperius Rex!” He shouted before going to fly forward, “Death to The Hybrid!” he snarled now before there was a ball thrown at him.
A bubble had wrapped around him now, it surprised him and almost made Namor burst out when he felt that he was burning, taking a moment in anger, he went and flew upwards, making sure that he was somewhere, the man went and started to head towards a more secure location over the ocean now as his assailant fired on him, but the Prince made sure that he was away from anyone before he popped it.
The acid started to fall down into the water now and with that, he turned and flew back to his attacker, ready to ram into him before he was hit with a migraine, making his stumble now, going to stumble and then fall down now, he went and crash, the ground getting made into a crater now while the man went to aim and shot him, the last few didn’t hurt, but this one? This one made him scream in pain.
He started to try and get up, but there was too much, the man went and fired again and again and again before he started to realize that he made a hole, he cut through his skin and it hurt so bad he needed to take a breath before going to try and fly up, but his wings could only flutter, making them start to get a bit worried about it all before eventually he heard a gunshot.
The coral warrior had turned and there were police officers there who opened fire, “You are under arrest!” one of the men there had ordered, making The Coral Warrior glare as he went to grab at another grenade, but Namor was at the ready now as he went and grabbed at one, “Leave, or I set this off.” he threatened towards him, but the man simply gave a disbelieving look.
“Nice try, Hybrid.” he snarled, “But I know you wouldn’t harm Pinklings, that’s your weakness, and we’re more than happy to use it against you.” he said with a smile, making sure that he would be able to get the picture before he turned to them, “Be lucky, because I have to go make sure that he dies.” The Coral said before he pressed a button on his belt now.
That made the group confused before there was a bright flash now which made the group confused by that before they had eventually got their vision back and realized that there was no more Coral Warrior, seeing that, he went and started to get up, his legs unsteady now as the group looked at him, “Are you okay, Namor?” the man asked and hearing that, Namor had no idea on what to do.
______________________________________________________________________
Getting up, he looked around there before The Atlantean and his family went to sit down by the desk, taking a breath now, he took some of the medicine that was there now and as he shook his head, Leonard had patted his shoulder, “How bad have the headaches been?” Leonard asked, having seen that he was getting weaker now and that made the Prince sigh now.
“That one was the worse, I’ve never crashed like that before.” he said and hearing that, the group had been a bit concerned by that now and as they looked towards him, the Prince noticed that The Peterson Family had come in now, Nammu not with them as the group joined up with them now, “Namor, you good?” Randall?” asked, making the Atlantean shake his head.
“No, there was some sort of… I don’t know, I think they were a spy? An assassin? All I know is that he attacked and–” “Why does Lawrence look funny?” Nay asked, making the group all look towards him now and seeing that there was a sort of rippling now which made the group get worried, all of them going and starting to circle now as all of a sudden there was a pop.
There was a coral based beast with a crab like face, it had clicked towards them, its chest opening up now to reveal that there was a sort of bomb there which made The military men there panic now, “Bomb!” Randall had shouted while Namor had grabbed at it and flew upwards, his headache coming back, but he wasn’t going to let it overtake him this time as he went to throw it into the air now.
The explosive had went off now and as it did, he lost his strength and began to fall, the shockwave knocking him down now and as it did so, the Prince couldn’t let himself blackout as he fell onto a car, not yet while his little brother was out there and in danger, feeling the crash, he went and started to get back up, he was a bit wobbly right now before the Prince started to walk, a bit unsteady, but he would save him.

3/17/1948, Sleeper Base, Boston
The boy was scared now, looking around with worry towards everything that was there when he had seen that there were blue people who had looked like Nammu and the lady that Namor liked, it was a bit confusing on why they would do this before the Sleeper had looked down at him with a look of revulsion, “You have to be joking, how are you awake right now?”
That made the boy confused now as he went to sit down, “Why are you doing this?” he asked and hearing that, the man sighed as he went and started to ready a weapon now, “I’m just waiting for your brother, and then I can kill him and make sure that your entire line cannot taint Atlantis ever again.” he snapped and hearing that, the boy was more and more concerned on what was going on.

3/17/1948, The Royal Palace, Atlantis
The two women of Atlantis had been looking towards each other now before they had seen that the emergency communicator that they had given to Namor in case of any strange circumstances now, seeing this, Nammu went and opened it now before Dorma spoke, “Hello there, what is–?” “Namor’s weak! Lawrence got kidnapped by some sort of Coral armored man!” Randall shouted.
That made them both look towards each other with some surprise now and it made the two look towards each other with some concern, “Where are you?” Dorma had asked of her and hearing that, Nammu went to go and get an arsenal of weaponry for them to utilize against whatever it was, “Boston, Massachusetts, please hurry.” The man begged and they were happy to hurry.

3/17/1948, Boston Massachusetts
Namor had been forced to sit down now and as he did so, the group started to talk to the Boston Police Department until there was something which made him confused, seeing that there was a communicator in Randall’s hand, “You called Nammy and Dorma, didn’t you? He asked, making the group nod, “Lawrence is missing, we need to find him, somehow and you need all the help you can get.”
That made him angry, he went to stand up now, only for himself to stumble, a little unsure on his feet for the moment as he looked back, “I can get him on my own.” he promised, making the group unsure and thinking that he was going to go and save him before the sleeper could do anything, “I just need a car and way to get… a way to find them.” he said, making them all a bit confused.
The group looked towards him as he went and started to get up and grab at a car that was there, “Okay, how about we go ahead and get a car, I brought ours.” Randall said and hearing that, Namor nodded, “Great, where?” he asked, making the man take a breath before he started to move now and as he did so, there was a bit of confusion now as a new noise could be heard.
It was a Mantaray which had landed by the water now, Nammu and Dorma came out of there now, wearing Atlantean armor, each of them with weaponry now and as they got off and leapt towards the ground now, the two of them looking towards the group now, “Are you all ready? Because we’re ready to get Lawrence back.” Dorma said as they each went and took a weapon from her.

3/17/1948, Sleeper Base, Boston
The man had been reading a letter that he had been given, as he looked at it, Lawrence took a deep breath before he started to think on how it was that he was going to get away with all of this, his best course of action though would have to be now before he would be able to escape, taking a breath now, Lawrence looked towards the man before speaking, “I have to go potty.” he said, making himself sound like a baby.
That made The Sleeper scowl, “Then use the corner.” he said, pointing towards the corner in question which made the boy scowl, “I gotta go poo, and it smells.” he said and hearing that, the Sleeper had been annoyed by the statement before he motioned for him to go, “In that door, got it?” he snapped, making Lawrence smile now and nodded before going to enter the room in question.
As he entered, the man saw that there was a window just like the bathroom at his home, smiling at the sight, he went ahead and checked, seeing that there was a deep drop, but there was a fire escape a level down, so taking his jacket off, he tied one sleeve to the paper towel dispenser and opened the window, causing a creak which made the boy tense, “What The Hell’s going on in there?” the Sleeper snapped.
Hearing that, Lawrence went as fast as he could, going and already starting to repel down now until his legs were dangling over the way to his freedom, that was when he heard the door break open and make the boy let go, dropping down now, he went and proceeded to run as fast as he could away from them and down the steps post haste, the boy glad someone was too lazy to put the ladder away.
“Get back here!” The sleeper had shouted and hearing that, the boy went to run into the streets now and seeing all of the people there, he started to think on which one that– there was a crack now and it made the man take a breath as he saw there was a crater, making the boy scared about that when he started to move now to grab at him, at least until there was a blast of blue energy which hit the man.
The coral armor he wore had protected him as it went and expanded to protect him now, making the group look now with some rage right now before the Lady of Atlantis had went and looked at Lawrence, “Are you okay?” she asked of the boy who nodded now, making the woman relieved as he went and fired his weapon towards her, knocking Dorma back now.
But as she was thrown back, Namor had taken her place, he had a trident at the ready now and with it, he went ahead and started to stab at the man, he blocked with his blaster, using it like a shield now, but there was little to no problem for that as Namor had drawn a dagger and went to stab into a joint, “Imperius Rex.” he snapped before kneeing the man as Nammu went to come in with Randal.
The group was there now with Leonard and Randall helping the group right now while the women there went to grab Lawrence and rub, with that, The man snarled as he went and pulled out spheres, going and throwing them towards the group now, “Back!” Namor had snapped now before he went and leapt forth, grabbing at the man and pinning him to the wall as his head gave a throb.
That made the man smile as he went and aimed downwards towards the roof now, making the area there start to collapse before they started to fall down now and as they had done so, the group started to get worried right now as the group rushed towards the hole now and seeing that, they started to panic now as they could hear the sound of something else inside there and it worried them.

3/17/1948, Sewers, Boston
The two of them had been wrestling the man as a beast that had been built for the sewers, a serpent with spines that shot out and stabbed around them had snarled as he went and started to to snap towards his chest and it made the almost ready to scream as it pierced his flesh, the beast was stronger than his skin, or it was weaker than before as he went and punched the eye.
It made the creature wail in pain now and as it loosened, he went ahead and started to get to work on facing the warrior now and as he went to fight, the man saw that there was a issue, he saw that there was a new weapon there that was in his hands and seeing that, Namor scowled, “Dammit.” he muttered as a new crimson blast had hit him and slammed the Prince into the wall.
It felt as if it was eating at his moisture, making him gasp in pain and want to scream out loud, but there was nothing that would escape his mouth now instead there was a feeling which made him want to get away as fast as he was able to get out of there, Namor had raised the weapon, trying to aim and was able to get at least one shot in that tore apart the focus of the man.
He gasped in pain now, going and falling down in pain, he looked towards the man now who looked at him before opening fire again, but this time, he went to duck towards that blast and this time, he went and lunged forward, tackling the man with a glare now, he proceeded to punch him, over, and over, and over and over and over… the coral cracked, the blood was flowing.
Seeing that, he smiled a shaky smile as the Atlantean started to look to him with a glare, “Kill me… Hybrid.” he ordered, making The Prince glare, “No… No I want to make sure that you can never do anything to hurt the people I care about again, but also your master who had ordered you to do as much.” he said now and hearing that, the man glared before he went to bit at his hand.
But Namor had no care and no fear as he went and started to tie him up, the weapon on the other hand, it was something that he was definitely going to have to confiscate, get it locked away before eventually going and starting to bring him up, but the beast had escaped, seeing that, he man took a breath, but there was nothing else that he could do as the man went to get up and get out.

3/17/1948, McKenzie Residence, Boston
The group were looking towards each other right now, concerned about… well everything that happened, “This is a serious issue,” Dorma said, “We’ll make that there’s no more attacks here on Boston, but that Sleeper is going to be a problem, especially with the fact more might come.” she said towards them and hearing that, Namor sighed before he looked, “I need to be armed.” he said.
Nammu nodded towards that, not to worry, we’ve got a few that are ready, a bunker perfect for your new arsenal.” Nammu told them as se looked at the moisture drainer now, making the group a bit concerned by that as the father of the prince spoke, “No worried, there’s nothing that the government can get their hands on.” the Lady of Atlantis said and hearing that, the Prince had looked.
“So then, the Sleeper will go back to Atlantis for interrogation and if we find anything, we’ll let you know.” Dorma said and hearing that, Namor took a breath before looking to them all and admitting something he hated, “I’m getting weaker.” he told them, “I don’t know if it’s permanent or something, but for now, I think I should go somewhere away from you all.” he said.
Hearing that, the two families looked towards each other right now before THe McKenzies spoke, “If there’s anything we can do to help you… anything at all, just call us and I’ll be happy to help you.” Leonard had said and hearing that, the Prince smiled now while The Petersons looked towards the man with Randal giving a look, “Hey there, I fought with you… there’s no way that I’m leaving you high and dry.” he said.
The other two members of The Petersons had agreed while Lawrence went to his brother, “Are you sure you can’t come back here?” Lawrence asked him, “No, I can come back, but I want to make sure that this latest little incident doesn’t get worse than before.” he said and hearing that, the boy looked sad towards that before Namor started to get up, “I promise, whatever happens, I’ll make sure all of you are safe.”
They were a bit happy at the sound of that now before they started to get up, going to depart now, as they did so, Namor had recalled the little gift he made, a clay trident for his brother and gave it to the boy, and as he did so, he smiled, “Imperius Rex!” He shouted now, making the Atlanteans smile at his declaration, Nay following suit for them all right now as they got to work now.

3/18/1948, Interrogation Room, Atlantis
They looked at The Sleeper, Seth, Dara, Tali, Opistho and Argos looked at them all with anger, “You are traitors! Servants of the Hybrid and you will Doom Atlantis!” he snarled towards them, making the group all sigh as Opistho was the first of them to act, sighing as he walked over to him, cracking his knuckles before swinging now, delivering a harsh blow that made one of his teeth dislodge now.
“We are not here to listen to your rant, we are hear to learn everything that you know before we dispose of you, understand?” he asked as Argos went to gather a few tools that were made for torture, “My Lady Dorma, would you like to leave the room?” he asked as Seth and Dara started to bring out some parasites that would be able to assist in the change now, “No.” Dorma said to them.
“I am as much of a person responsible for this as you are, I will not make myself ignorant of any of it.” she snapped towards them and hearing that, the group looked towards each other before they had nodded, all of them getting to work except for Dorma, taking a deep breath as she bore witness to the pain caused by the actions and it made her take a breath and prepare for what will come of it.
