Out of Your Mind

41

Once you made it to the building that Cheeky and Stash work out of, you had to decide how you were going to play this. You need to find Stash, so you had to ask the people in the building who most likely have seen him more than anyone else around here, but if you just went to each person, it would look suspicious. You could jump from mind to mind and search through their memories, but that might take too long. You could also go straight to the source and ask Cheeky, but not only would you risk getting your cover blown but he also wasn't in town. If pixie sticks are getting popular, there's no way a dealer like Cheeky would stop operations to visit his mother, he has to have left someone in charge. So you have to find who he left in charge, go through his mind, put him to sleep and made him forget that you were ever there..

"Easy enough.." you think, sarcastically.

You walked in and saw people laying around on the dirty floors of the building, some of them were actively taking pixie sticks, which was a drug quite literally handed out like a pixie stick. You rip the top open and pour it in your mouth, it creates a euphoric high that some people described as like floating on a cloud, but the crash from the high felt like falling from the cloud and smashing into the ground. As you made your way up to the top, it got cleaner and cleaner and the top 3 floors looked as if they had been renovated. When you opened the door of the 3rd floor from the top, you saw some guards and dipped back into stairwell.

"Of course there were going to be guards" you thought. You really hated that you were going to have a massive migraine tomorrow cause you aren't sure how many people you're going to have to use your quirk on. You put your Cerebra on and pulled your hoodie back over your head, you were just going to walk past them and if they tried to stop you, then it would be lights out for all of them.

You somehow managed to make it past the first floor of guards. The second floor was another story. You almost made it to the end of the hallway when one of the guards stopped you.

"Hey! Do you have an appointment?" You stopped and turned around.

"Do I need one to get some pixie sticks?" Some of the guards chuckled.

"Yeah, it's starting to become a highly sought out product. I'm assuming you don't have an appointment so you're gonna have to go" He reaches for your arm but you step back before he can grab you.

"Look, I'm just passing through town. I just need to get my stuff and leave.." you turn around and continue walking, fully expecting him to reach out and grab you.

"Hey! I said you gotta go" As you predicted, he throws his gun down and goes to grab you, you throw your head back at his and he quickly releases you to grab his nose, you then turn around and tap his temples so he knocks out. The other guards obviously see this and start going after you. You mockingly begin to stretch your arms as if that was a light workout.

"Ok boys, whose next?" One of the men stretch out their arms so they can keep you at a distance, but you're able to duck out of the way in time and pull him down using the force you used on class 1-A. Another guard charged at you like a Rhino, pointing his horn at you. You ran towards him, then slid through his legs. He ran into a wall and got stuck. You took the opportunity to put him to sleep as well, his body slump down while his horn was still in the wall. The last guard didn't take the chance and began shooting at you. You ran out of the way.

"That's not very nice. You could've killed me!" You say with your mind, he stops shooting and looks around, unsure where the voice came from. You used your force field to push him up against a wall, he started to scream but you got in his mind and prevented him from talking.

"Ah ah, I can't have you letting everyone know I'm here. Even though they're probably on their way anyway since you shot your gun" you walked over to stretchy guy and put him to sleep, then lazily made your way over to the last guard.

"Don't worry, it'll all be over soon" His eyes widened and he began shaking his head, trying to force a sound out of him but he couldn't get a thing out. You then tapped his temples and his head fell over. You released your force fields on both men and heard shuffling from the floor below you.

"Ugh, I don't have time for this" you mumbled. When the men saw their colleagues on the floor, they raised those guns at you. Before they could shoot, you sent out pulses that instantly brought them to their knees. They all groaned in pain and you kept the steady pulses going as you walked up to one of the guards.

"I know Cheeky isn't here, so who's running the show right now?" He doesn't say a think so you up the intensity of the pulses they all groan in pain a little louder.

"Do not make me go through your brain to find the answer, it'll just hurt you even more" He looked at his men one of them speaks up.

"Just fucking tell her, man!"

"Okay! Okay...Cheeky actually hasn't left, he just told everyone so he could work on a new project."

"Ah...see? That wasn't so hard. Is he upstairs?"

"What's all the commotion down there?" They were all wearing walkie-talkies, someone from the top level was calling down.

"Tell them someone tried to sneak in, but you have it under control" you lessened the pulse enough so he could speak well enough to answer the question. "Snitch on me and you'll regret it" you threatened and pressed the button for him to talk.

"Some chick tried sneaking up but we took care of her"

"Alright, keep it quiet down there. We don't want to boss to be disturbed"

"Copy that" you ripped off the walkie and threw it to the side.

"Very good. You're going to sleep now." you tapped all of your finger tips together to put all the guards to sleep. They slump over and you quickly ran up the stairs.
