The Gatekeeper

Louis tried calling back what felt like hundreds of times. He was panicking and could feel himself starting to hyperventilate. He quickly called Jaya and every ring felt like an eternity.

"Hello?" Jaya's familiar voice came across the phone.

"Hey sis. You doing alright?" Louis asked his voice soft and gentle like he was talking to a little kid.

"I'm alright. Why?" Jaya asked slightly concerned at the sudden call and the sound of relief at just the sound of her voice.

"Just making sure. Look I've got some time off school right now. How about I come over and spend a few nights?" Louis asked as he could hear Jaya talking to someone else.

"Yeah we'll get the guest room ready for you. How long do you think it'll be?" She asked as Louis thought it over for a second.

"About half an hour probably." Louis said as his sister made a small noise in acknowledgement.

"Alright sounds good. I'll see ya soon. Love ya Louie!" Jaya cheerfully said causing Louis to smile.

"Love ya too." Louis said as he hung up. Before anyone had time to react a thunderous boom and a bright flash happened. Louis was using his electricity to speed to his sister's house as fast as possible. He stopped to rest a few times as it was hard to keep himself moving like that when he wasn't used to it. He normally used that speed in small bursts, but he had to hurry. It took him 20 minutes to get to his sister's. When he did he saw his sister and her girlfriend sitting outside on the porch. They lived in a suburb in a 2 story house, and if you were just looking at it you'd think of the stereotypical American dream house.

"Hey bro! How's Godolkin?" Jaya asked running over to hug her big brother. She was about half a foot shorter than Louis. She has long auburn hair, sky blue eyes, and a few freckles around the bridge of her nose. Her girlfriend Alexis or Lexi Greene was only a few inches shorter than Louis, and she had short black hair and green eyes. Now both Jaya and Lexi were 17, and technically they lived at the house with Lexi's parents. What most people don't know is Lexi's parents are always away, so the young couple essentially live there on their own.

"Hey guys. Godolkin's hectic right now, but hopefully soon it'll calm down." Louis said. He couldn't lie to them since Jaya would see right through him.

"What's going on?" Lexi asked as they walked inside. It was a pretty average looking house honestly. It was covered in pictures of Lexi's family mainly her parents in various places around the world. A few of Lexi throughout her childhood, and a few had a boy in the pictures with the family. He had no solo picture on the wall, and was only in pictures with the rest of the family or at least Lexi. The boy was Lexi's older brother Kenneth, and Louis had never met him but he hadn't heard good things for the most part. When Alexis came out to her family most of them accepted her with no problem, but unfortunately her brother wasn't one of them. Apparently not long after Lexi's parents cut Kenneth out of their lives, and now the only reminder of him in the house were the photos he was in. Alexis's parents liked the pictures too much to take them down, and they had been procrastinating on getting the pictures redone with him edited out.

"My roommate went missing not too long ago. Were trying to find him but so far no luck. All we know is that the last time any of us saw him he was meeting with his older brother." Louis said wanting to keep the phone call and the things Brink has told him about supes being killed to himself.

"That's awful! Any way we could help search for him?" Jaya asked as Louis shook his head. He was planning on waiting as long as needed for Axel to show up. Louis has problems with anxiety, but the moment his sister is put in harm's way he will do anything to keep her safe.
