Not-So-Perfect Night
Mickey was being very cuddly and attentive when her and Steven got out of the movies. The new Tron had been pretty damn awesome...though there were parts where they weren't paying attention.

"So," she said to Steven as they walked out of the movie theater and into the snow-covered streets. "What's next? Dinner...or do we want to go back to the brownstone and work up an appetite?" She grinned at him.

	Major Force looked over at Steven, laughing. He then looked back at Mickey. "Tell your Dad's girlfriends I said hi." He fired a blast straight through her chest. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Mickey!" he shouts, kicking into high gear. He stumbles a couple times, but its clearing. "Son of a BITCH!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Steven!" She struggled, her eyes going wide as she realized what had happened. Mickey's entire body went completely limp, as the life drained out of her eyes, and blood poured out from the hole in her chest. Major Force laughed, tossing her aside, her body landing in front of Steven. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"What's the matter kid?" Major Force asked, taunting Steven. "You gonna kill me because I killed your little girlfriend? I'd really love to see you try." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He swings in a blur of fists, attacking Force for all he's worth, even as he starts seeing only one of the villain. "Why did you do that?!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You expect me to explain myself, kid? Seriously?" He laughed, in between getting hit by punches. "I felt like it. That good enough for you?" He laughed, firing another blast at him. "Anyway what are you gonna do kid, kill me? You hero types don't have the guts." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Now that he's halfway coherent, the blasts don't come close. He sidesteps, swinging for Force's chin again, not having noticed that just punches aren't having a lot of effect. "Don't have the guts? You killed my girlfriend! What's going to stop me from taking your damned head off?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Take my head off? Go ahead, you can't kill me!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Finally realizing the effect he isn't having, and having noticed the taunt, Steven tries to phase through the villain to attack from a different angle. There's a flash of light as he does so, and he's tossed back. "You're... you're not human. What are you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"All Quantum Field," he said with a sneer, firing another blast at Steven. "You couldn't kill me even if you strapped me to a rocket to the moon." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He dodges right, just barely avoiding the blast, pushing himself faster and faster and faster still. Every time before, when someone died, when something went wrong, enough speed fixed everything - or at least started everything over. He can fix this - he just has to play it through.

"I don't need to kill you." he says, disappearing in a blur, then reappearing behind Major Force.

"You're just a coherent energy field." he adds, the Garrick scientist in him chipping in as his hands start to vibrate.

"Can't create or destroy energy - but if you excite the molecules enough, I can make you a lot less coherent. You weren't using this head-shaped construct for anything important, right?"

	Major Force felt an odd sensation going through his neck. "What the---" It then hit him what Steven was trying to do. "Hey! Cut that out!" With enough force, Major Force's head came clear of his body, his body just hitting the ground. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

But its not enough. He'll just reform - that's what he does.

Thing is, Steven Garrick has been manipulating energy since the moment he gained self-awareness. Energy he knows.

Around the coherent energy framework shaped like a head, he feels each molecule vibrating slowly apart as he shapes and molds the field, attuning his own vibrations with that of the molecules in the twisted construct Major Force likes to think with.

"Oh, I'm not even halfway done with you, you sick, twisted monster. This world doesn't need you anymore - I can't destroy you, but I can give you a long, long, long time out to think things through." he replies, as he reaches the right vibrational frequency.

Careful, careful now - time was a tricky thing. Of course, this time, he doesn't need finesse, he's not trying to hit an exact point in time. He just doesn't want to disappear back into the speed force, or into time himself.

With a *pop*, he sends Major Force's head-shaped energy somewhere between 4,000 and 4,400 years into the future.

There. Now things can get better.

Then it doesn't. The world doesn't blur, things don't change.

Mickey's body is still lying there. No more resets. Linear time. The vibrations die down to be replaced by genuinely shaking hands as he drops to his knees and cradles his girlfriend's body.
