UnOrdinary: The twisted ones.

Caught.

[GREY]

John and Seraphina speed towards us as my father starts to examine the two. "I assume you are William's son huh? You've got your mother's eyes. Other than that you are a copy of your father." My dad says as he grabs John's chin. John stays and looks at him and us speechless. I was cringing and hoped that the earth would split and we all fall and die.  "Uh... Hi mister? can you like uh... stop grabbing my chin?" John asks. "Oh sorry... I'm pretty straightforward forward huh?" Dad says as he pulls his hand away with a gentle smile. "I'm just surprised to see the son of my sister," Dad says to which John's eyes widen. "You are Grey and Ashlyn's father?!" John asks. Seraphina then looks at John deadpan. "Oh? So surprising... I'd have never known... He's not tall... nor does he have white hair." Seraphina says sarcastically. John just gives a nervous laugh.

"Say... Where is your father? I want to meet him." Father says. "My father is back in New Boston. He only came to check up on me because I didn't answer his calls for a while." John says closing his eyes while rubbing the back of his head with a nervous smile. "Oh? and why is this? Are you rude to your father?" Dad asks giving John a death glare that made him look even more nervous. "N-no it's just... uh I was not having the best time in Wellston that's all," John replies. "I see, But why is this? You have a very strong ability as your mother did after all." Dad asks.

John was silent as if he was never going to answer that question. But after a while, he gathers his courage and speaks. "I... was not using my ability... thus people were picking up on me because I was known as the school cripple. But after that, an incident happened that led me to use my ability and stop hiding it." John said. "And why did you hide your own ability? one's ability is one's pride and joy. Especially someone as powerful as you are." Dad asks. "Guys, can we talk about this when we go to Woaba Boba or something? I'm kinda tired of standing in the MIDDLE OF THE SCHOOL." Seraphina speaks. We all nod and we get in the car along with John and Seraphina and went to Woaba Boba.

We took our seats and we ordered some drinks to refresh ourselves. John starts speaking about his past in New Boston. Which rather annoyed the father as he understood that all of John's suffering in New Boston was due to his mother's disappearance. She could've guided him better than Wiliam. Wiliam is a cripple, He can't put a soon-to-be High-tier under control. He doesn't know how it feels to be a high-tier. So he can't guide one. After John finished talking about his past. Dad gave a long sigh and started speaking. "Well, I guess it's her fault for leaving you when you were so young..." Dad says as he looks at John. "Are you talking about my Mother?" John says to which my Dad only nods. "Do you know anything about her?" John asks out of pure curiosity. "No, I know nothing about what happened to her... But I intend to find out where was she all these years." Dad says with a serious look. 

After this long talk. We decided to finally leave as it started to get a bit late and there was nothing really we can talk about more. Dad asked John for his father's contact info. We return to our home. "What were you talking about John's mother? you said you intend to find out where has she been." I ask. "Yes, I intend to find out what happened to her. I know my sister well. She'd not just abandon her Husband and child like that. There must be something... Anyway... I have to sleep early today my flight is early in the morning." Dad says as he goes to sleep and we do the same. We took this opportunity and went to our little prisoner. "Any progress Arthur?" I ask as we see Arthur trying to talk to her. "She stopped talking and refuses to eat everything I give her," Arthur replies. "I guess she's very loyal huh..." I say I look at her. She keeps her head down as she sits on the bed we prepared for her. "Listen, I have an offer for you," I say which surprisingly catches her attention slightly as she lifts her head to look at me. "You'll work for us, And we shall provide everything you might want in your life. You do not need to work for Orrin anymore. He's evil." I say to her. She looks at me angrily. "You think this is about money?! That's what you guys are. YOU ONLY SEE THE WORLD AS SOMETHING YOU HAVE FULL CONTROL OVER. You feel so high and mighty. I refuse your stupid offer." She replies. I sigh and we get out of the basement. "This isn't working..." Ashlyn says. "Yes, but I will give her a few more chances. After all, I'm tired of killing..." I say to which Ashlyn just looks at me. "What do you mean? Grey that night when you went with Remi... Don't tell me..." She says. "Yes, I killed one of those Agents. It was a blond woman." I reply. 

She looks a bit nervous but she regains her composure as we previously agreed on eradicating the Agents if we found them But it seemed to be all talk... She didn't think of the possibility of it actually happening. But she has to accept the fact that in order to destroy the system. We must force ourselves on it. 

"Agents? Kill? what's all this about?" We hear a voice coming down the stairs... It was dad with his serious look... And he heard everything...
