Seraphina walked in to school only to hear everyone talking. John, Arlo and Remi were fighting in one of the courtyards.
Her feet rushed beneath her as she jumped down two stairs at a time and then through the winding corridors and to the outside.
Finally, she reached the fight just in time. Black electric whips stabbed down towards the two: Arlo and Remi.
Her ability flashed to life and she pulled Remi and Arlo out of the way. Neither were affected by the stop of time and complied when she dragged them away to behind John.
She unfroze time and took a step forward.
"John. We need to talk," she stated.
Sera shifted her eyes to Zeke. "Uhh?!"
He needs to go. "Leave."
"Y-yes!" Zeke stared at her wide eyed before he sprinted off around the corner, green trailing behind her.
"Pretty convenient timing, Seraphina," John said. He stepped towards her. "When the hell did you get your ability back? How long have you been hiding them?"
"Uh... Didn't you see it come in last night?"
"Oh, so you did plan it?" he replied. "The Authorities helped you get them back, didn't they?! And you hid them so that you could come after me when I least expected it, didn't you?"
"Is that really the first thing that comes to mind? No, you have no idea what I've risked-."
"I don't wanna hear it!" he shouted. "Just get out of the way, so I can finish those two off!"
"No."
"What did you say?" he questioned.
She turned back to face the two behind her. "You two get out of here."
"But-!" Remi protested.
Arlo grabbed her shoulder. "Just does as she says. I'm sure she has a plan. If we stick around, we'll only hold her back."
He took her wrist and dragged Remi away from the scene.
"HEY!" John pulled back his arm where the whips gathered. "WHERE THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING?!"
The giant needles stabbed down towards the fleeing friends.
Time stopped around her and zigzagged to hit each whip. No, John. It's just you and me now.
When time reawakened, it all shattered around her. Which included her arms.
Blood splattered out of her arms, covering her dark blue blazer. Arlo's ability. It's been a while since I've taken this kind of damage.
Her arms were brand new as the clock wound back.
"SERAPHINA, YOU – IDIOT-!" HE spread out his arms as electricity and whips flared up around him. "YOU REALLY WANNA FIGHT ME THAT BADLY?! THEN YOU CAN GO TO HELL TOO!"
Five whips zoomed done onto their target – her.
So, Claire said power was the only thing you'll answer to and if that's the case, I'll match it! Even if I take it with a good grain of salt.
She rushed through time and at John, fist pulled back. It smashed into the black barrier and cracked around a spot.
"Hmph!"
He cough up blood. "UGH!"
Blood burst out of her hand. Then it glowed. "I never wanted to fight you! All I wanted was to talk!"
