The King's Casino
"Took you long enough, do you ever have your phone on? The names Ruairi, or Ace Lord if you prefer. I've been looking out for you for a while now and I think you deserve a membership card for my Casino! The King's Casino. Take it and if you don't you can say goodbye to your SuperHero team. And don't try running away. I've got eyes everywhere, and I'm more powerful than you could ever imagine so don't mess with me" Ruairi smirked and threw his signature ace of Clubs at Louis' feet. Then he through the exact same card to everyone else. We all picked up our cards and then I ask,
"What's this?"
"Your membership card" replies Ruairi thinking to himself that it was obvious. Then I say,
"This is just a playing card. That's really not a smart membership card. Someone could easily buy a pack of cards, show you the ace of Clubs and you would just let them-"
"Shhhh" he interrupts.
"I'm gonna shut you up now. Okay? Good. Do you still want that membership card?" Asks Ruairi calmingly yet still threatening.
I nod.
"Good. Now! If you folks'll follow me" says Ruairi. Ruairi goes to the elevator. Pushes a button on the side and as the metal doors slide open, Ruairi asks,
"Are you guys coming?" Immediately, Xander, Tia, Jeremy, Daniel and I run toward him and the elevator. The doors start to close while we're still all getting in. Ruairi holds the door open with his foot while we all get in. Once we're all in the doors close.
"All right then, is that everyone? EXCELLENT!" He says before pushing the 'UP' button on the side of elevator. The elevator starts to go up and as it does this, elevator music starts to play.
"Well this shit won't do!" Exclaims Ruairi before pulling the whole speaker out of the side of the elevator. The music stops playing and Ruairi pulls a miniature 60s duke box out of his pocket and uses his powers to enlarge it. He puts on a different song,
[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]
A few seconds through the song,
"Jazzy!" I say.
"Yeah! I like it!" agrees Daniel.
"I'm glad you guys have good taste in music or else I'd probably just dump you all in the city down there!" Laughs Ruairi.
"Wait what?!" Exclaims Tia. She looks out the glass window of the elevator and notices that we've gone so far up, that we're out of the building. The elevator flies high across Penrith like in that Charlie and the chocolate factory sequel. Have you read that? Anyway, back to the story. As Ruairi uses his powers to float the elevator over the city, Daniel cowers into the corner of the elevator.
"You okay there, Buddy?" Asks Ruairi.
"Yeah, yeah! I'm just a little afraid of heights" replies Daniel.
Meanwhile, I press my face against the glass and notice that it starts raining over the night of Penrith city. The Jazzy music really suits what's happening outside the elevator. Soon the elevator floats down to the ground as the song concludes. The glass doors open and we all walk out into empty raining streets. Ruairi pulls out his umbrella and when he opens it, a rapid fire of darts fire from it like a machine gun missing all of us by mere millimetres.
"Sorry! Sorry! I just forgot to empty the darts!" Says Ruairi before opening a hatch in the handle and a few darts fall out. Then he opens the umbrella again and says,
"Right then! Let me show you my Casino!" All of us are still frozen with shock after we all almost got shot.
"Are you guys coming?" He asks. All of us fall out of our trance and gather ourselves underneath, Ruairi's big black umbrella. He leads us deep down underground, through an empty damp car park to a metal door guarded by a tall humanoid figure made of rocks. He's holding a futuristic spear in both of his vast rocky hands. He waves at us. There is a small little humanoid standing next to him. He has blades attached to his arms and looks as if he was morphed together with some sort of bug.
"Hey there buddy! I'm korg! Yeah the pile of rocks waving to you, yeah! I'm a being!" He says.
"Hey Korg!" Exclaims Ruairi.
"I'm just bringing in a couple of newbies!" He continues.
"Well Hi! Newbies! I'm Korg! This is my friend mick!" Says Korg.
"Hi! Korg! Hi Mick!" Says Xander.
"May I please see your membership cards?" Asks Korg. We all show him our membership cards. Korg and Mick move out of the way and Ruairi opens the door with his hand.
We all walk in and Korg closes the door behind us.
"I swear, I saw those two in Thor Ragnarok!" I exclaim.
"I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about" replies Ruairi quite casually. I raise my eyebrow at him suspiciously. He ignores me and yells,
"WELCOME! TO THE KING'S CASINO!" The place is filled with all kinds of things from glimmering diamond chandeliers to solid golden plated pool tables. There are slots machines, Casino roulette wheels and all kinds of amazing Super Hero games which I'd never even heard of before. There were games like, Psychic Scrabble, Hypnotic Hypnotic Hippos, Superpower Pong, Super space invaders as well as all kinds of things. There were people playing card games like Poker, Go fish, BlackJack, FreeCell, Solitaire, but yeah- mostly Poker.
Jeremy then asks Ruairi,
"So, now what Ruair-"
"SHHH! Don't give away my secret identity in here! In your world, my name is Ruairi but in here! I am the KING OF CARDS! Perhaps you'd like to know why" says Ruairi before making a deck of playing cards appear in his hand. He makes all the cards glow with hot pink flames. He spreads out the cards in mid air and Jeremy uses his time powers to let us watch in slow motion as Ruairi launches all the cards at a dart's target. Blowing up the whole target. He then gets out another deck of playing cards and makes them levitate around his entire arm before launching them at the psychic bar where everyone was ready to catch them.
"That is why they call me the king of Cards! Now if you'll excuse me, I have some urgent business to attend to!" Says Ruairi before running as fast as he can to the back of the casino.
He goes through the exit door and then is confronted by a man in a top hat and coat, a teenage girl wearing aquatic themed items like starfish and sea shells, and a fourteen year old boy with fists as big as boulders.
"Illusionist! Selkie! Famman! What a pleasant surprise! What are you guys all doing here?!" Asks Ruairi happily.
"Quit the act! You Son of a Bitch!" Yells the girl.
"I was smart enough to not come alone this time! Ruairi! There's no where to Run! Give us the money now and we'll all go but if you don't, then you'll pay with something else. Something a bit more important to you!" Says the man.
"And what would that be? My life? I care about my money way more so if your gonna kill me just kill me!" Says Ruairi casually.
"Fine then! You asked for it!" Screams the girl before forming a cyclone of water.
"Selkie! Please! Give him a chance!" Says the man before turning to Ruairi,
"Ruairi, you're young, you have your whole life ahead of you! Now don't be foolish! Pay us our money and we'll be on our way!" Says the man.
