CHAPTER 375: BACK TO THE GARAGE

Jace chuckled as he prepared to explain. "To start with the response, those fake officers were so pissed or at least most of them were pissed because of this ball or rather core." Jace declared as he waved the orius core back and forth.

"What is it?" Commander Tyler asked in confusion.

"It is the core of an orius, a Victorium based shapeshifting creature. A group of criminal Victorium managed to infiltrate the underworld on the colony. One of those terrorists from earlier was one of them. But it did not know I knew so I managed to tear out its core pretty easily. When they fight back it can actually get pretty annoying." Jace explained with a shrug as he spun the core in his hand.

"So that is basically the heart of a living thing?" Peter asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Isn’t it disrespectful to play with its corpse like that?" Commander Tyler asked.

"Actually, if I am right then it should still be alive." Jace declared and Peter burst out in laughter while Commander Tyler blinked in confusion. "So I was basically showing them that I have a very fragile hostage."

"That is horrible. How many among those police were these orius things?" Peter asked as his laughter died down.

"Only five of them. That lead officer and a few others. The rest were just humans or nanohumans. But I am going with the assumption that they were more terrorists." Jace explained as he nodded at the truck. "Can I get some help with flipping my truck? I think it is about time I headed back to my garage."

"Yeah, I will have some of my people help you out. Wait but what about the grenades?" Commander Tyler agreed and then his head snapped to the side.

Peter grunted and nodded, looking at Jace. Jace looked between them and smirked before shrugging. "As soon as I noticed them pulling up I removed the energy from the grenades."

Peter tilted his head in confusion. He clearly remembered that Jace’s power was different. But Jace winked at him and made a motion. He nodded slightly in understanding. Planning to ask about it later.

Commander Tyler frowned, "so... as a nanohuman you have some form of electrical control and removed the charge from the grenades?" He concluded and looked to Jace for confirmation.

"Yes," Jace nodded. But in reality he did not just remove the charge from the grenades and the other weapons. He also fried the electronic components that were contained within all of them. Completely disabling them in a complex way. But he would not tell Commander Tyler about his abilities.

"Okay, then it sounds like we should get out of here. Especially if they realize that you managed to play them." Commander Tyler turned to the civilians. "I will get them dispersed." He then walked over and began talking with the group of civilians.

Peter stepped over, "electrical control?"

"Yeah, being a Spectre has its benefits." Jace told him briefly before frowning. "I doubt you are going to be able to work today. Want to come over and cook up some food for the girls? We did not get a chance to eat and I doubt it would be safe to head to another restaurant."

Peter shrugged, "yeah, that sounds good. I had nothing better to do. Besides, I owe them some desserts." Peter agreed. "Let me help them close up the shop."

Jace waved his hand and went through the restaurant and joined the girls as they watched the dwarf. The dwarf looked up from his drunken tinkering. "The girls tell me you tinker yourself, hummie."

Jace raised an eyebrow and he could see Jordan and Cho’s eyes sparkling. While Allie scoffed, "I did not say he tinkered. I said he was building something. I think that is a bit different from just tinkering." Allie pointed out with a sigh.

"Nah lass that is tinkering, tinkering is always tinkering. Now you, sabo. Do you forge or do you cheap out on that part?" The dwarf asked while doing his best to stay stable on his seat. He had downed some beers nonstop.

"I cheap out on that part. I am more tinker and less forger." Jace answered. "But the Vexical Militia does have access to an armor master. He does forge when he can and I heard there are others like him that make more ritual based armor that was popular amongst the nobility." Jace explained as he looked at the girls. "We are going to head back to the garage."

"What about the fancy dinner?" Allie asked while she puffed up her cheeks. She was not the only one as Jordan did it as well and Cho mimicked her.

"Mister Reese is going to come over and cook for you. But we should probably stop by the store before heading back. He will probably need some ingredients and some other things." Jace explained while poking Jordan on the nose. Causing her to burst out into laughter.

"Oh so we are having a fancy dinner at home." Allie nodded and made a few hand motions. Jordan nodded in understanding.

"I want to see your things." The dwarf declared before burping.

"This would have nothing to do with us getting food and possibly a large quantity of beer would it?" Jace asked with a chuckle.

The dwarf froze mid-sip, "no..."

Jace shook his head and Allie rolled her eyes while Cho reached her hand forward and pointed at one of the weapon components on the weapon the dwarf was messing with.

The dwarf froze and looked at Cho before shaking his head, "no, that does not fire it. This part fires it. This one is the trigger." The dwarf explained.

Jace raised an eyebrow before looking out to see that his truck had been flipped back over. He then looked toward Peter Reese and saw he was handing a set of keys off to a woman in a waitress uniform. It was looking like they were all ready to go.

"Hey dwarf, go tell your keepers where you are going. Come on girls!" Jace called out and pointed at his heavily damaged truck. "Time to get back to the garage."
