You climb up the gutter with surprising ease.

'Maybe the virus gives me the strengh. I always wondered where I got my strengh from when I got out here.'

You grab the edge of the roof and pull yourself up. You lay on your belly immediately, decreasing the chance of getting caught. You crawl to the door a few feet away from you.

Standing up you try to open it, but it won't move.

"Captain ?" You ask, holding two fingers to your earpiece.

"Yes. What's the problem ?" Chris answers nervously from the other side of the line.

"There is a door up here, but it won't open. I'm afraid we have to go with plan B." You bite your lip, fearing the reaction of Chris. He hates it when he has to get to plan B. And everyone knew it.

You hesitantly look down at them. Chris stands on his spot frozen.

"Come down here again. There is nothing more you can do now." Piers now takes over, knowing that Chris takes a moment to think of any other plan. But not B.

You climb down slowly and junp down the last part, landing hard on the ground with a thud.

Everyone looks at Chris. Knowing it will take an eternity for him to speak out what he thinks, you walk up to him ask "So. What do we do now ? I mean..we can't go through the sewers, can we ?" you suggest sarcastically. You all chuckle until Chris looks at you with wide eyes. Then he begins to grin like a maniac.

All of you stop chuckling immediately and you mumble "You've gotta be kidding me..." and you facepalm.

Yeah. That explains why you are now walking down the street, searching for an entrance. Because the fate is on your side today, you almost immediately find one.

You smell the urine and suppress the urge to throw up.

"Alright. Let's get in there." Chris orders a bit to enthusiatically.

He jumps down and you hear a faint sound of splashing. 'Great. Why can't I just shut my mouth ?' you curse yourself.

Marco, Finn and a few other soldiers jump. Piers is the only one left with you.

"C'mon. Shall I jump first and catch you ?" the latter says with a hint of sarcasm. You glare at him and answer in an equally sarcastic voice. "Oh yes, I would love that. My prince in the shining armor catching the helpless princess." You both laugh and Piers walk to the opening.

"Ladie's first." Your boyfriend says, gesturing to the opening.

"How nice of you." You say and roll your eyes.

You jump down and land in something wet. "Eww...my god, it stinks." You say, wrinkling your nose.

Behind you, you hear splashing. Piers also jumped down now and almost covers your whole being with that...You don't even want to know what exactly it is.

"Let's go." Chris says and nudges his head to the direction where you go. You switch on your flashlight and walk after the team.

You walk for ages, at least your legs feel so.

"Does anyone else notice this wind ?" Finn asks from up ahead.

"Now that you are saying it..." Chris agrees.

"But there can't be wind down here."

"Unless....." Chris trails off. You hear something big coming nearer. And then you see it.

A huge wave of this...water..or whatever it contains.

Your (e/c) eyes widen.

You strech your arms in front of you, hoping it would shield you and close your eyes.

But nothing happens.

You open your eyes hesitantly. The wave stopped right in front of Chris.

And then you, and probably anyone else because of your gasp. Under your sleeve you can see a faint glow.

You still hold out your hands and don't even dare to move.

"Uhh...Guys ? What is that ?!" You ask the soldiers around you with panic in your voice. You twist your arm a bit to have a better look at the glowing, but once you do, the water moves with you.

You turn your hand back and look at the water. It also moves back.

You gulp.

Stepping forward you make a pushing motion to push the water back to where it came from.

Then you notice a small hole on the right side. You try to move your arms so the waters flows in there. After a few attempts all the water is gone.

Your arms drop to your side again.

Now you roll up your sleeve. There is a tattoo all over your arm.

"I swear to god, this wasn't there before ! I don't even know I can move water ! What the hell is going on ?!" You yell and turn back to Chris with teary eyes.

"I-I don't know..But it'll be alrig-"

"How do you know it'll be 'alright' , Chris ? How can you say that ? We don't even know what this is ! We don't know if it's dangerous or not. We don't know if I am dangerous or not !"

With every sentence your mouth leaves, also more tears stream down your face.

Suddenly, a warmth engulfes you. You flinch a bit but soon relax into Piers' embrace. You don't hold back your tears.

"We will find out what happens...together.." Piers murmurs into your hair.

You nod and pull away.

Trying to keep optimistic you say "At least I can control the water, so we don't have to go right through it."

Hesitantly, you walk up to the front of the group. Wiping away the tear stains you ready yourself and take a breather.

Your arm begins to glow again. This time you can see that the normally black ink is now glowing in a very light blue. Almost like ice.

You bend the water, so it looks like it is glued to the wall.

Sometimes you try to move your hand in another direction. After some time you learned how to make something like a whip with the water.

You call back to your group "Maybe this isn't that bad ! It somehow is very funny !"

You hear the soldiers chuckle from behind you.

After a few minutes you get to an exit.

"Finn. Blow it up."

"I can't, Sir." Finn responds shyly. He disobeyes and he knows the risk of that.

"Why ?" Chris asks irritated.

"Because the explosives are wet. they have to dry." Finn explains. Chris sighs.

Your arm glows again, without you making anything. You move as if you would have done this your whole life.

You bend the water on the door and let it freeze. You step back and pretend to kick the door.

It flys away like you came in like a wrecking ball //slapped//

Chris gulps and says "Ok. That's a new possibility we shouldn't forget."

And with that you enter the building.
