My life as a Meta Runner Part 1: Beginnings

Chapter 5.5: Special delivery for Derek Lucks!

I felt my unconscious body picked-up and moved to what felt like the back of a car. I needed to be sure where I was, so I opened my eyes. At least one eye and even that was really hard to do. I blinked my right eye, and my surroundings clear up. Belle was sitting next to me. I asked her very weakly, "Why the gas?" She looked at me and said "That's none of your business." She reached behind me, I heard the valve turn, and I sagged into the seat. I still had one eye open and the other closed. Belle was speaking again, and it sound like she was on the phone with someone. "Hey Lucks we have him. No Tari didn't get involved. I guess she really did keep the contract. I would've had to hurt her and we would've both broken the contract" I felt a flush of anger run through me and lifted my head, but that anger was replaced with drowsiness. I laid my head back down. Belle continued talking on the phone. "Funny thing Lucks, we're on our way to your location. Yes Lucks, he's sedated. He actually asked why the sedation. No I didn't tell him why. When we apprehend him, MD-5 was teaching him his powers. He punched me in the face with bioelectricity of some sort. The gas stuff worked. His powers stopped working, and I think he's close to deep sleep now." She looked over at me and continued talking. "He's okay he's stable and so are his powers. Bye Lucks." I got out one word "Powers?" Belle sighed and motioned for a guard to turn the valve. He did and before I blacked out, I think he winked at me? Before I could ask why he was rapping, the gas had enveloped my entire body, so I fell asleep.
