"Can I get these in a size 14," I said handing the worker the shoes I wanted to buy.

I was at the Nike store at the mall shopping for a few things. I sat on one of the chairs in the store waiting for the worker to return. I was on my phone playing a game while I waited

All of a sudden I felt someone's eyes burning the back of my head. I turned around and saw a man. he had on an all-black leather suit, he was bald, and he was looking at me like we have a problem.

who is he?

He kept looking at me and then a smile spread across his face. I could see all the teeth in his mouth were damaged and yellow.

I stood up. something isn't right.

He extended his arm and all the racks around me exploded and my body flew backward towards the counter behind me and I fell hard to the ground.

Everyone around me started screaming and running.

I lifted my head "what the hell" I groaned trying to get up. I heard ringing in my ears. There was a veil of smoke in front of me. I stood up quickly when I saw the man approaching me from the smoke.

"Do I know you?" I said coughing from all the smoke.

He looked at me and gave me the same nasty smile from earlier "Meta blood" he sneered. His voice was raspy.

He lunged toward me and I moved out the way and stepped around him. I put my hand on his back and turned his whole body into ice and he dropped to the ground.

I ran towards the exit. Security was ushering everyone out of the mall. I saw a few men who were dressed exactly like the man from before coming toward me.

One of them lifted their arm and released a blast of energy at me. I dodged to the left and the blast hit the store behind me sending it up in flames

who are these men?

I released a blast of ice at them as I turned around and started running.

I turned my head and saw them chasing after me getting closer and closer

I stopped for a second, turned around, and spread ice on the ground behind me. they all slipped and fell.

As I turned to run, I saw more men approaching me.

I am screwed.

I was sitting in the laboratory going over the plan and making sure I have everything figured out. Onyx was sitting beside me.

"Does anyone on the team know about me and my past?", she asked me.

Onyx had been making more progress in terms of being able to talk more comfortably with me and not staying locked in her room.

"No, I figured that was your story to tell. Similar to you, they were kids when those events played out. They won't really remember that day. Your name may sound familiar because you were all that was being talked about during that time. but as for the exact story, I don't expect them to know" I said trying to reassure her.

"but i-" before she could finish. the emergency alarm started going off and Orion's voice filled the room

"Sir there is trouble at the Blue Plains mall," Orion said as he pulled up surveillance of the mall on the big screen in front of me. Smoke was coming out of the building and people were running and screaming out of it.
