The Future: Specials

Chapter 7

Lena's POV

As I trembled before the terrorists Tyler had gained a dangerous look in his eyes. Almost like he was going to lash out at any minute.

" On three okay." Tyler said and clenched his fists together. Somehow I knew what he was planning. He was going to use his ability and I was going to help him. I nodded.

He counted to three on his fingers and I threw the guys guns to the side with my mind. The lady ordered the men on us, but before they could get to us, Tyler super punched them. It looked better than it sounds. When his fist connected with their jaw they were flung against the wall, down the hallway. I was shocked, but then again I've seen Mikell shape shift into myself.

" Can't rely on anyone these days." The woman said as she rolled up her sleeves and came to us. Tyler tried to get in a good hit, but the woman swiftly grabbed his hand and crushed it. Tyler cried out in pain and she threw him to the side. She possessed multiple abilities! No one can possess more than one ability.

" How did you-" I was cut off when she grabbed me by my neck and pinned me against the wall. No. She didn't grab me , she wasn't even touching me!

That was three abilities she had! Was she even human at all or was she genetically engineered?

" Shocked are we? Yes, I obtain more than one ability and it is none of your businesses if I'm genetically engineered."

She read my mind too! This couldn't be possible. This isn't happening.

" Oh this is happening." She said.

" Please." I croaked. " Put me down." I breathed.

" Why this is so much better." She gave an evil smile and dropped me on the ground. I struggled to catch my breath. I noticed Tyler was unconscious by the far wall. I was on my own with a half human woman who had every ability you could think of.

" Why are you doing this?" I ask her standing up.

" You know as well as I do that humans have hated and resented us for years. I am finally going to show them what we are really made of. I am done being spit at and tortured. It's our time."

" No. That isn't who we are." As I said that Tyler began to regain conscious. I kept talking to the woman to get her attention off of him. If we were going to take her down we needed to catch her off guard. And that was what we were going to do.

" What do you know about who we are? We are powerful and together we can conquer the world." She held out her hand for me to take. I took it.

I wanted to gain her trust, to show her I meant no harm. The farther she fell the harder she hit. We were going to take her by surprise.

" What's your name?" I asked letting her hand go.

" Christina."

" I'm Lena." Tyler began to sneak up on her. " Why do you choose to be this way? You can be so much more. Prove to everyone you are better than what they think." I tried to tell her.

" Lena. Come with me. Help me. We can do so much more than this." She talked like we had been friends for years, but the difference between her and I is how we react to things. She wants to destroy the human race because of how we are treated, but I, however, want to show the human race we are good. No matter how bad we're treated.

" I won't hurt innocent people. Not everyone wants us dead." Her smile melted into a twisted, sinister grin.

" You see things are already in motion. I don't really need you, I just need you out of my way. Hints why I tried to befriend you."

" That kind of hurt." I looked to the ceiling pretending to be studying something. Christina looked up as well and that was when Tyler struck her. It took her by surprise and she hit the ground hard with a thud. Tyler was going for another hit, but I held him back. I didn't want her dead. We had to set and example.

I looked at Tyler and gave him a that's-enough-look. He pulled back.

" What are we going to do with her?" Tyler asked starring down at her beaten body.

" Got any super-cuffs?" I asked sarcastically.

" As a matter of fact, we do." He answered and walked into a nearby room.

" Serious?" I questioned. He didn't reply and came out seconds later holding , what looked like regular, handcuffs.

" So you just have these laying around?" I asked baffled.

" Pretty much. I mean who knows when a psycho super woman is gonna come bounding in here." He joked, but I sensed a little truth in there.

" Where are you gonna take her?" I asked him curious to hear his answer.

" We have cells here we can throw her in. We need to take her back to the safe first, though. Maybe John can get something out of her."

" You've thought of everything haven't you?"

" You always have to be prepared." He retorted and slung the woman over his shoulders. He picked her up like she was a rag doll, I had a feeling she was going to have a headache when she woke up.

As we approached the safe I realized we had never found Kendal. Crap. I'm sure he was okay.

We walked inside the safe and was greeted with claps and pats on the back. I saw Kendal and Mikell in a far corner smiling at us.

" Oh thank God." Tonya ran up to me and gave me right hug. " When I saw Kendal and Mikell come back with out you two I panicked. Why did you go in the first place?" Her smile immediately turned into a frown.

" I'm okay, we're okay." I corrected myself.

" You are such an idiot for doing that. I swear you don't think before you do things." She argued angrily. She smiled again. " But I'm glad you came back. You were brave for suggesting that."

" Are you done?" She nodded and sat down in her seat. " It's amazing how many emotions you go through in a matter of seconds. Anyway," I looked back at John. " We found her. I think she's the leader of the terrorists."

John looked shocked and started at the body in complete horror. " I know who she is."

" Did you know she possesses more than one ability?" Tyler asked him. Gasps were let out all over the room.

" Yes."

" How?"

" Because she was my very first students I trained."

This one goes to my other best friend,TAG. I love you girl. You do go through a heck of a lot of emotions at one time, but you put up with me so I put with you. Thank you for caring and building me up. I sure do need it.
