𝘿𝙍𝙄𝙁𝙏𝙄𝙉𝙂 - Max Mayfield

36. Holy Shit...

Once they arrived at the mall they were met with a strange sight; peaking over the ledge,they saw four armed men in all black, speaking in a foreign language and Searching around for Dustin and the others. They all started to surround a cookie shop where they assumed Dustin would be hiding. Aiden knew if they were caught,it was over.

"El," he whispered. "You see that car over there? Set it off"

Eleven concentrated her powers on the red convertible on display in the middle of the mall, causing it to shake at first, its horn blaring and lights flashing, catching the Russian men's attention.

Eleven then sent the car flying at them with a loud crash, taking the men out.

Four heads peaked out from under the counter; Steve, Dustin, Robin and Erica Sinclair, Lucas' younger sister.

Aiden smiled as the two groups caught sight of each other. While the others ran down the broken escalator, Aiden simply leapt down from the ledge,the caution against hurting his injured leg thrown to the winds.  

"You flew that thing like a hot wheel" Dustin giggled as he pulled El and Aiden into a hug.

Once Aiden pulled away however,he immediately noticed one of the Russians standing up and pointing a gun at the group.

"Man,sit your bitch ass down!" Aiden glared at the man before teleporting. He reappeared right in front of the man,rasengan in his right hand and immediately slammed it into the man's stomach, sending the man flying backwards and knocking him out. Aiden got close to his unconscious form and ran through his hand signs, placing two fingers over his lips,he inhaled deeply and was about to breathe out...

"Aiden" the boy turned to look at El. "stop"

Aiden reluctantly walked away from the unconscious Russian. What he didn't know was that Robin had seen this.

"Wheeler!" Steve called, walking towards the boy.

"Mama Steve!" Aiden ran up and gave the older boy a hug. "They really fucked you up bad"

"It's what I signed up for," Steve ruffled his hair. "and good thinking sending that clone with us"

"I didn't send a clone with you" Aiden furrowed his eyebrows. 

"Really?" Steve asked. "I saw a giant fireball like yours hit the Russians so immediately thought it was you"

"Wait... What?" Aiden shook his head. How was that even possible? A fireball jutsu?

'But that could mean...'

"I think there's another chakra user here," Aiden said.

"Wait, how?!" Steve asked.

"The fireball jutsu is a chakra-based technique," he explained. "And I sure as hell didn't make that fireball,or follow you all down to that Russian base"

"So either the Russians somehow have a device that shoots fireballs..." Steve said.

"Or there's another ninja running loose" Aiden realised.

Aiden noticed Robin staring at him and he gave her a soft smile. "Hey, Robin"

"Hey,kiddo" Robin came over and hugged the boy gently,still in shock.

"Ask them, it's their fault!' Aiden heard Erica say, arguing with Lucas.

"True,it is totally our fault," Steve nodded.

"I'm sorry,I don't understand what happened to that car or that guy!" Robin said. "And what is a chakra? What do ninjas have to do with this?"

"El and Aiden have superpowers," Dustin said simply.
