Nova's Angel: Meet the Killers

Out with the old. In with the new Crew!

We made it outside but found that all the vehicles were gone. "Guess they retreated after we beat all of them." Says Jay. "Doesn't look like we have any way of getting out of here." We walked out to the front parking lot of the jail and looked out at the exit gate.

"Yeah. The closest town is way too far for us to walk there." Lucas pointed out. "We're going to need a place to stay. Somewhere with lots of food to keep us supplied until we can make a trip to town. Lots of space for us to have our own rooms while also being able to use our powers. And far from anyone that would try to capture us again. It would also be nice if this place was as secure as a jail too." He turned around to look at Greyrock. "Seems like this place recently became vacant."

Everyone's faces lit up. "I call level one holding cell!" shouted Jay. We all ran back into the jail that was now our home went to every room, destroying anything that had BONDs name on it. Jay and Pitch started working on new layouts for the rooms. With Jay's powers, rebuilding this place would be easy. We spent all day running around claiming rooms and clearing out the mess we made in our riot and the BOND trash. We ended it on top of the roof at sunset to destroy the radio tower so BOND couldn't watch us or listen in.

"I've wanted to do this sense I got here." Zach said with a smirk on his face. "Everyone ready?" in response, we all charged our energy and waited for the word. "All together now, 3! 2! 1!"

"SUCK IT BOND!" We all yelled and demolished the tower. As it fell to the ground, we all cheered and ran to watch it fall off the roof. When I tell you that thing made the most satisfying sound ever, it was amazing. We then all walked over to the edge of the roof and watched the sunset.

"We did it." said Lucas.

"Yeah. We did." I spoke. "But it still feels like we just won a battle, not a war. All the other Novas are gone. They probably moved them to another prison during our riot. As nice as it is to be free, what about all the other Novas out there? Running and hiding because of something they can't control. And we know firsthand what happens to them when they get caught. Now The Huntsman is out there too. Working to kill high level Novas. We may be free, but it doesn't feel like it. Just parole on our sentence."

"Then why don't we change that." said Jay.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, why should we stop here. You said it, Novas are running and hiding because of who they are. They're put into cages or killed for no reason. And they just accept it because they've been told they're powerless to fight. But look at us! We took on the whole fricken prison and we won. Who says we can't keep fighting for our freedom?"

"What you're saying is suicide. You want to take down an entire government operation with weapons specifically designed to kill us." spoke Zach.

"Everyone thought breaking out was impossible, but we did one better. We kicked them out of their own turf. And that was just the nine of us. Imagine what we could do with an army of Novas. We would be able to take down BOND and show the world what we really are. Not monsters, but that we're just people trying to be people!" Jay was now standing up.

"Do you think we could actually do this?" said Jake. "Take down BOND and be able to walk in the streets without people fearing us?"

"I know we can. We just need to step up to the plate."

We all looked at each other, wondering if this was possible. Taking on the entirety of BOND? Getting our freedom? Was it even possible? Lucas then stood up. "I think we can do it. If there is even the chance I could go see my sister and not fear her getting hurt for being with me, I'm going to take it."

Then Zach stood. "The world needs to learn to grow a pair and deal with the fact that we exist."

Next Abby, Pitch, Megan, and Gwen stood. "I want to go out and see the world with everyone. And I want others to get that chance too." said Abby.

I looked up at Jay and saw that same smile again. The one that said, follow me and we'll see the light. Together. I stood up and said, "Back in school, the outcasts stuck to the walls with their heads down. I think it's time for them to walk in the center of the room with their heads held high."

That just left Jake sitting and looking at all of us. He let out a heavy sigh and stood up. "You idiots are going to need a babysitter for this trip. I guess I'll do it. You're right though, Jay. We can't quit here. It's time Novas took a stand."

"Sounds like our home is about to become Home base." said Pitch.

"Gwen," Jay said, "Think we can get a name for the base of operations?"

"Let me think... I got it! Let this place forever be known as...

The Haven!"
