Chapter 6:

Written by: Jillian

Naomi had parked the van in a grocery store parking lot for the night and walked back to the part of the van where they were able to sleep. Azure stayed up at the little table where he could keep working. RJ sat on his bed. Naomi laid down on her bed and covered her head with the blanket. "Hey, Nai?" Naomi pulled the cover off and stared at RJ. "What?" she asked.

"I don't really know what powers I have and I don't know how to find out. All I know is that I'm really strong now." RJ said. "All I can say is that they'll just show up. You can't really figure out what powers you have. At least that's how it was for me. Ask Azure, because I'm going to bed." Naomi grumbled. RJ rolled his eyes and got up from his bed.

He walked over to where Azure was sitting and watched his screen. Nothing. There was no typing, nothing moving, just nothing. RJ walked and bent down, looking at Azure's face. His eyes were closed and he wasn't moving. RJ rolled his eyes again. He poked Azure to which he snapped awake, violently. "Who died?!" he yelped. "No one, Az. You fell asleep." RJ said.

"Oh." Azure said, putting his blue light glasses back on. He began to type on his laptop again. RJ grabbed his hand and pulled him up from his chair. "You're coming to bed with me now." RJ said. "Fine." Azure said, reluctantly.

Rowan laid on his knees, still in pain. River's "minions" had finally left him alone for the night. He wiped tears from his eyes and curled up in a ball up against the wall. He felt so small, so...helpless. He had felt this way before.

He could put his finger on the exact moments. When Sokovia was destroyed, when he killed Azure, and when he lost Steve. He felt tears stream down his cheeks. He thought of his wife. How much he missed her and all of the pain he most certainly had caused her. He had been kidnapped after all. All with no trace of where he was. Heck, he didn't even know where he was.

"Where are you, Nai?" he whispered as he cried.

When the trio woke up the next morning, Azure went inside the grocery store and came out with nothing but a box of cherry Poptarts. "What? It's a fine delicacy!" Azure said, defending himself as Naomi and RJ glared at him. RJ grabbed a pack from the box as Azure climbed inside the van. The trio drove for a while until they decided to stop at a campsite for a while. Naomi and RJ got out of the van, while Azure stayed inside.

"Okay so show me what you know you can do." Naomi said, sitting on a tree stump. RJ walked over to a tree that had fallen, picked it up, stood it back up, and gently let if fall back down. "Well then." Naomi said, "That was something." "No kidding. I can pick up cars and literally anything with ease now." RJ bragged. "Uh huh." Naomi said, rolling her eyes.

Suddenly a BOOM sound came from inside the van. The two whipped their heads back and saw Azure sliding the door open, and proceeding to fall out and onto the ground. "Jeez! Are you okay, babe?" RJ asked, rushing to Azure's side. Azure nodded, coughing. His face was black with ashes like in a cartoon.

"You're worse than Rowan." Naomi sighed. Azure wiped his eyes. "I'm gonna go down to the lake and wash my face." Azure said, standing up. "I'll come with you." RJ said, getting up and following close behind Azure. Naomi chuckled to herself at Azure's stupidity.

Her laughter quickly turned to weeping as she remembered the name she had uttered. God, she missed him so much, she could hardly believe it herself. She took out her phone and scrolled through her photos until she stopped on a photo from her wedding. Teardrops fell onto her phone screen. Her face held a grimace expression. "I swear, I'll find who took you. And I'll kill them with my own hands." she promised.
