Horizon (Indian SciFi begins)

4.8) Cool down Spandan

Ok so, complete silence once more. Great.
I wondered- what the fuck just happened ?!

Cool down Spandan. Cool down.

Look at the good aspects. My vision had become clear once again. It was some kind of storehouse normally the residential buildings have it nowadays. Also, my body wasn't vibrating anymore.

I let out a laugh, as I literally thought I was a superhero for a moment. I noticed a mobile lying on the table. I picked it up. "Face isn't recognised. Fingerprint mismatch. Pulse mismatch. Sorry, you can't use this device" - the phone beeped.

Oh wow, Fandroid 17X.
Gemtooth 4.6, added AI support, advanced biometrics, instant bootup..
If I could just afford one of these..

Maybe the rich kids gave it to him, I fumed at the thought and threw away the phone. Now, let's get out of this place.

[SATVAR'S P.O.V.]

"Where the hell am I now ?!", I glanced upwards. It was dark. I didn't feel the ground either. I was kinda floating, levitating. "That fellow Spandan - didn't even give me a chance to speak. I told PF, I'm not good at this. But seems like he's busy with his girlfriend. Whereas I'm here stuck in this weird place."

"Is anybody here ?!", I shouted.
Nothing. No reply. Just as Dr.Sejal leaves my messages on read nowadays. I wonder if she'll ever be..

Wait, what's that blue light ?
I saw something blue rushing past me. It was.. Vedant ?!

He noticed me as I waved my hands. "What the hell ! What are you doing here ?!!", he asked as came near me.
"IDK. That spandan guy put me here. He created some random portal with his hands and I got sucked in. What is this place ? And why are you glowing blue ?", I enquired.

"Save some for later, let's get out of here first", he said. "Ok close your eyes."
"Umm ok", I said as I felt PF's hand around my shoulder.
"Now run, Satvar, Run."

I heard various sounds, cheers, shouts, people's voices as we ran. I knew we were running fast. Faster than I could ever imagine. Then suddenly, all of it stopped as I heard PF's sound - "Open your eyes."

We were at my building's terrace.
"What was that place ?", I asked hurriedly.
"Umm.. what should I call it.. the space network maybe", he said.

"Space what ?"
"It's the pathway, the infinity grants me to teleport from one place to another. The same way you use your time network."

"Forget I even asked.. so is that thing responsible for my speed too ?", I asked as I faced him.
"I've told you this before and I'll repeat it again - Your speed isn't your power, your control over time is what makes you Satvar."

"But how does th-"
"Anyways, where's Spandan ?"

"Honestly I've no idea."
"Ok then let's find out", he said as he switched on his smartwatch to reveal a mini map. "Also sorry about earlier, Mayuri is just-"

"Na, it's okay. It seems vahini doesn't like me meddling into your life", I sighed.
"Come on Tejas, it's not what you think", he tried to reassure me. "A lot has been happening in our lives lately. Me and Mayuri are just trying to maintain our cool and.."

"And what ?"
"I'm trying my best not to disrupt the timeline. But something or the other always goes out of place. It's just.. frustrating", he sighed.
