Virgil Hawkins Static Shock Novels & Stories

“What a fake! He has no self-awareness at all!” The crowd began to insult Harvey, calling him terrible names and accusing him unjustly. They wanted nothing more than to throw Harvey into the river. That would teach him to be a show-off! Daniel chuckled coldly, satisfied with Harvey’s forced departure. Smug, he strode forward and placed his hand on the car. But just as his fingers touched the car… Boom! The moment his skin came in contact with the car’s metal body, static electricity flowed from him and immediately ignited the gasoline. In mere seconds, the car exploded in a fiery blast.

His knuckles white where he gripped the armrest. They'd failed. Worse than failed. They'd been humiliated. The Howlingtons had stormed their operation. Rescued the girl. Made Silas and his team look like amateurs. Unacceptable. Across from him sat Dr. Sarah Reeves and Victor Hayes. Both looking equally frustrated. Equally furious.

---Divina--- I hide my shock that Warrick just took Vanessa’s life. I honestly didn’t think he had it in him. I hate it, but I still don’t fully trust him even with these past few weeks. He has been trying so hard to prove himself to me, but it is hard to forgive and forget. As the demons advance upon us, I look over at his too large frame with his clothes hanging in tatters off him and suppress a giggle when an image of the Hulk comes to mind. “Now you’ve done it,” I say and reach for his hand. He is so huge that I have to lean back to see his face. “Dance with me?” I ask with a smile. This was going to be fun. Warrick’s grip on my hand tightens and he pulls me to him and lifts me up, so I

I couldn't make out the words, but I could see Dhaval's face, contorted in a rage so pure it was almost majestic, and his mouth moved, spitting venom at Silas. Had the word already reached him about his son being threatened? Is that why he’s here…, to retaliate? Then, movement in the periphery. A shadow detached itself from the trees lining the road. Then, a glint of metal. Before I could even process it, Silas jerked. His hand flew to his neck, where a small, feathered dart now protruded. His eyes, wide with shock, met mine through the windshield for a single, horrifying second. Then his legs buckled, and he collapsed to the asphalt in a boneless heap.

Will she achieve her goal or become a pawn in his sick world? Once again, you have been warned and can turn back if you are uncomfortable with the warning. Welcome to The Silent Stalker!

The "Iron Silence" that followed the "Syndicate Siege" was a "Null State" of false security. Inside the "Master-Vault," the "Acoustic Noise" of the "Orbital Bombardment" had faded, leaving only the "Low-Frequency" hum of the obsidian servers. Ethan Hawke stood in the "Command-Link," his "Strong Frame" still radiating the "Kinetic" heat of the battle on the ridge. His "Piercing Blue Eyes" weren't fixed on the "Gilded" screens of the "Dead-Zone" map; they were fixed on Elena Vance.

The white light died. Baraka placed two fingers against the battery housing of her collar. He summoned the localized kinetic static—the subtle, vibrating friction of the Star-Code. It was a surgical application of power, entirely different from the raw, explosive force he had used in the Dead Zone. He pushed the electromagnetic pulse into the metal. The circuitry hissed, a wisp of acrid black smoke curled into the air, and the collar clicked open, falling harmlessly to the ground. Baraka moved immediately to the unconscious, granite-skinned giant. He applied the same static shock to the third collar. It popped open with a metallic clack.

Kaelen cried out as a wall of white glass erupted from the floor, encircling him. The boy tried to use the Key, but a series of "Narrative Anchors"—high-tech magnetic clamps—descended from the ceiling, pinning his small hands to his sides. Silas lunged for the glass, but the "CEO Woman" with the blue veins intercepted him. She didn't use a weapon. She used her "Synthetic Divinity."

He stopped tapping my cheeks and looked at the man behind him, the man with blue eyes. “She’s a hunter Alarick,” silver guy nodded and looked at me again. “So, did you have a good sleep?” Alarick, the silver guy asked. I groaned and look the other way, just when I am about to close my eyes, Alarick, the silver guy, softly grabbed my chin and controlled it to look at him. Both of them seemed unfazed by my presence and I can only think of one thing; they’ve killed a lot of humans that an alive one doesn’t scare them at all.
