014; steal a car

Alexa's POV:

I didn't know what else to do but to run. My car was destroyed along with Gabbie's, so we couldn't use those. There were scary men coming to take the boys and people around us were scared. So I yelled to run.

We sprinted off down the street leaving the crowd and scary men in suits behind. I didn't see Zach running with us, which scared me but I looked behind me and saw him and Daniel running in the back.

I used to run cross country for my highschool so I was in front of everyone with Corbyn. Tate suggested we go to somewhere we can hide, which was a good idea.

I saw up ahead a gas station that didn't look occupied by many people. The others must have saw it too as we kinda made our way over to there.

"Can we stop here. I don't think the cars are after us right now." Jack complained slowing down.

"Yeah, we just ran like a mile." I say stopping, catching my breath.

We all made our way behind a gas station so we could rest in private.

"We need to leave town. We have a better chance of getting away if we leave." Jonah said sitting down with Tate against the building.

"Where would we even go? Our whole lives are here in the city." I asked, getting shrugs in response.

"Maybe we don't need to leave. Maybe they forgot about it all by now." Corbyn suggested. I sighed and pulled out my phone going to the news app showing everyone the newest report.

BREAKING NEWS:

TEENS HAVE BEEN REPORTED SEEN USING STRANGE ABILITIES. OFFICIALS ARE TRYING THEIR BEST TO BRING THEM IN.

If you seen any of the following, please contact the nearest police station.

Jack Avery, Corbyn Besson, Tatum Dahl, Gabriela Gonzalez, Alexa Haken, Christina Harris, Zachary Herron, Jonah Marais, and Daniel Seavey.

Thank you.

There were each pictures of our faces and many videos from the accident of the boys using their abilities.

"How did that spread so fast?" Zach asked looking at the report.

"I don't know, but we can't go out in public. We need leave LA." Gabbie stated again, getting nods from everyone.

"We should steal a car." Tate said. We all stared at her. "What I can't run anymore, it would take forever to get out of here by foot. Stealing a car is the best option."

"She's right." Jonah agreed with her girlfriend.

"Yeah, if we keep running Zach is going to slow us down and get us caught." Jack pointed out.

"HEY! I'm not that slow." Zach complained like the child he was.

"Please, you were behind everyone while we were running. I'm surprised they didn't get you." Jack argued.

"It's not my fault. Daniel was the one who didn't move so I had to help him." Zach crossed him arms and anger crossed his face.

"Excuses, excuses. Stop being such a baby." Jack commented quietly, making some of the others hold in their laughs.

"He's not wrong, but we need to get supplies." I said. "If we are leaving the city it's not like we can stop by our houses. We need things to keep us going." I said.

"Okay, we steal supplies and a car and get the hell out of town." Gabbie summarized.

"Well I don't think everyone should go to get supplies and a car." Christina said.

"Okay, Jack, Daniel, and Gabbie work on getting supplies. Daniel could turn invisible to get things and Jack can go just in case. Gabbie should go just to help." Corbyn said pointing out the reasons, getting nods in response.

"Okay, then Zach and Alexa should go get a car. He can use his telekinesis to start it or grab keys from someone." Christina pointed out.

"Okay then Jonah, Tate, Corbyn, and Christina wait here. If we aren't back in 30 minutes you need to come look for us." I say.

"Okay, before we split. Jack what was up with you before the crash. I was meaning to ask you that." Tate asked the boy, talking about his purple eyes earlier.

"I don't know. I heard the car coming. Must have better hearing then all of you." he praised himself, happily.

"But your eyes were lit up, meaning you were using your power." Jonah mentioned.

"I don't know then. I don't remember using hallucinations." Jack said looking confused.

"What if you have another power?" Zach suggested. "I mean we don't know exactly what the lightning did to us. Who's say we all got just one power."

"Wow, Zach being smart for once. That's a first." I joke, getting a small punch from Zach in return.

"Maybe. I could try doing it again. It would mean I have what, heightened hearing?" Jack questioned, looking around at us. We all nodded, seeming that made sense.

"I mean yeah, you heard the car coming before all of us." Corbyn said.

"Okay. I'll give it a try." Jack said closing his eyes and opening them to reveal the bright purple color. He moved his head making it look like he was listening to something closely.

His eyes turned back to the brown color they usually are after he stopped listening.

"The couple inside is buying a pregnancy test." he stated to us, explaining what he heard.

"Okay, heightened hearing it is." Gabbie said standing up, pulling her boyfriend up with her.

"YES! I have a second power, you guys don't. HA!" Jack bragged to the other boys.

"Oh shut up Jack!" Zach pouted at his friend.

"Okay, everyone knows what they are doing?" Corbyn asked everyone, ignoring the two youngest boys about to start a fight.

"Yup." we all respond.

"Okay, everyone stay safe." Jonah says before we all split getting started off on this long journey.
