PEAK PERFORMANCE: Chapter Two
PEAK PERFORMANCE is a fan-fic that I've been working on and this is it's second chapter. It's characters are based on Marvel Comics characters but the story is created differently.
Ben and Flash return the RV to Flash's house, which was previously owned by Flash's late aunt. When they open the RV to remove the two bodies inside, they notice that Krazy-6 is still alive and breathing, despite having inhaled the toxic phosphine gas. The next day, Ben is driving to Flash's house and notices a bedraggled Krazy-6 staggering down the street. Ben tries to get Krazy-6's attention, but Krazy-6 recognizes Ben and attempts to flee only to run into a tree and collapse. Ben loads the unconscious Krazy-6 into his car's trunk and takes him to Flash's house where he and Flash restrain Krazy-6 to a pole in Flash's basement using a bike lock. Ben suggests that they dispose of Honald's corpse by dissolving it in hydrofluoric acid. Realizing they must also kill Krazy-6, Ben and Flash toss a coin to decide who will perform which task. Flash wins and chooses to dispose of the corpse, leaving Ben to kill Krazy-6.
Ben instructs Flash to buy a bin made from polyethylene in which the corpse can be properly dissolved, but Flash cannot find a bin big enough to accommodate it. Ben seemingly decides on asphyxiating Krazy-6 with a plastic bag but is unable to go through with the act. He instead gives Krazy-6 food, water, a bucket and toilet paper out of guilt. When Flash returns home and asks if Krazy-6 is dead, Ben promises to perform his agreed upon task the following day. Meanwhile, May begins to suspect that Ben is hiding something due to his recent strange behavior. After Flash makes a call to Ben's home phone, May traces his phone number online and discovers his social media website. When she questions Ben as to who he is, he claims that Flash sells him marijuana. May finds his address and confronts Flash while he is moving Honald's body, warning him that her sister-in-law is a DEA agent. May does not notice the corpse.
Flash, having decided against following Ben's instructions, decides to dissolve Honald's corpse in the upstairs bathtub. However, the hydrofluoric acid dissolves the ceramic and metal bathtub along with the body. This causes the ceiling beneath it to collapse, spilling Honald's liquified remains onto the hallway below. Exasperated, Ben tells Flash that hydrofluoric acid will dissolve many things but not polyethylene. Meanwhile, two Native American children playing in the desert find Ben's gas mask from the previous meth cook.
