The Divine Gifted

19: The Enemy

The men looked intimated but stood their ground.

Flynn chuckled deeply as he looked at Crystal, "Whay do you say? Do you wanna join in on the fun?"

She looked at him and then the men. She readied herself, "You take the two on the right. I got the two on the left.

"FIRE!"

The men loaded their guns as they fired at a wall of ice Crystal formed in front of them

"Run!" Crystal grabbed Flynn's wrist as they ran away from the men. They ran up the stairs of the side of a building. They were on top of a roof as they split up.

~~~

Crystal ran across the roof as she leaped to the next. The two men following her fired their guns. She held a fist of fire and incinerated the bullets.

As she took her next step, she used her ability on her feet to make each step icy. As the men followed her, they slipped and slid off the side of the roof.

As she ran, more men arrived in front of her.

"FREEZE!"

She stopped, "God, you are all just as simple-minded as the maids I used to work with," She formed ice in her hand, "You freeze, dimwits."

She fired ice at the men in front as they froze and slid off the roof.

Finally, there was one left who looked tougher than the others, "Good evening, Miss Crystal."

She stopped and looked at the person, "Who the hell are you?"

"Garrison Roy. I am a gifted that can control the human body. Raise your left arm."

Crystal's arm went up all on its own.

"Smack yourself in the face."

Her arm started smacking her face uncontrollably.

"H-Hey! Cut it out!" She tried to dodge, but she inevitably ended up smacking herself.

She formed a firey flame in the other hand.

"Oh! Better lose the feeling in your arms, dear."

Her heart stopped. She couldn't feel her arms. She felt numb. She couldn't move.

"And your legs."

Her breath hitched, and she fell over, trying to use the rest of her body to keep her from falling off the roof.

"Tsk tsk," Garrison walked forward, "Looks like you're nearly toast."

He bent down and picked up her head with his hand, "What now, Princess?"

~~~

Flynn was being chased after men as he did his best to lose them. He couldn't use his ability right now, so he had to rely of combat.

His power is strong, but with dangerous conditions. The greater weight he commands, the more damaged his eyes turn out. If he damages his eyes too much without giving them the night to heal, he'll go blind.

Bottom line: No sight, no ability.

He stopped at a roof as some men dived at him, thinking he had no way of defense.

He sent a kick, knocking them each down one by one; in a row. Another man swung his blade as Flynn bent back to dodge it. He grabbed the men's coat as he swung around, grabbing the gun from his pockets in the process.

He pointed the gun at the guy. The rest of the men fell off the roof.

"Give up."

"I wouldn't shoot him if I were you."
