Faked Deaths

Chapter 5

"Super Hero's?" I chuckle. I look at both Andre and Kat, Andre's face serious as usual then I look at Kat and for the 17 years of knowing her, she had an actual serious face. My laughing slows down finally getting the point that it wasn't a joke. "Wait, there is no such thing as 'Super Hero's', are you kidding me?"

"No, Fortunately for the U.S, well actually for the world." She says sternly. "Need evidence?" I put my hand on my hips and smirk towards the girl who I thought really wanted to be my best friend because she wanted to be. "Well lucky for you Alex, I was in AAA by age 12."

She lifts her hands and close her eyes. My stance doesn't change. "I'm not convinced, Katherine." Her eyes open, but her pupils are gone, her eyes are completely light gray. "Katherine?" I say, starting to get scared. Her eyes goes back to normal as she regains herself. She looks towards the drawers next to Andre, she lifts it in the air and lets it sway from side to side. She stayed focused as the lights then began to flicker. She puts the drawer back and the lights back to normal, or whatever normal was.

"Believe me now?" My legs were trembling. I was fascinated by the science of it, if there was any. Or how it could happen. Yet, I was also scared because with how strong she was, how powerful she was. I was nearly always going to be in danger around her.

My whole life I lived in a house with someone who could control objects with her hands or her mind or whatever she was using to display that. I just don't understand in anyway how that could be possible.

I make a run for it trying to get away towards the open door that Katherine came in the unit from. She shuts it and I turn around. "I'm so sorry Lexi." Then she stabs a needle in my arm as I begin to lose consciousness.

"What did you do to me?" I slur as I slide to the ground and Andre stands over me with sad eyes that are actually seeming to tell me he's sorry. Then my eyes shut and I was gone.

I felt like I was in a dream. How in the world was it was even possible that there are super hero's? Since When? Why are people shielded from these things when we wont even know who or even what are among us? Why did it all have to be a lie or a secret. In every super hero movie I have watched like Superman or Batman they were always hiding from society as if someone completely living like a normal person was going to try to get revenge or kill them or harm them in any type of way.

"She's too skinny," A girl said. I heard a slap. "Ow, why'd you hit me, blondie?"

"It's very rude to say." I'm guessing Blondie girl says. "Besides, she's not as skinny as you, Beth."

"How many times to I have to tell you dimwit, my name is Liz, not Beth, if you're not going to say my name right don't say it at all, wait. The second half sounds accurate." She says. "Don't say it at all."

"Ladies... Ladies. Come on, let's finish are bet before boss finds us." A guys voice says. "Well I bet she's going to be forever in B.A.C."

"She's going to get kicked out and make her memory loss and forget all about this place." Girl number one, Liz bets. I hear another slap. "Oww. Do it again and you will regret it."

"I bet she's going to find her inner her, like the rest of us mostly has." Blondie says having full faith in me.

My eyes start to open slowly. "Andre, what do you think?" Blondie asks.

"I think you guys better stop before George finds out you're betting on his daughters achievements period." He says, not surprising. "You're up." He looks dead right in my face.  I look around the room. A tall skinny black guy, I'm guessing is the guy who thought I would forever be in B.A.C. Then at a girl short, tanned skin with medium lengthen jet black hair and blue streaks, Liz, for sure. Finally I get to Blondie. A perky girl, pale skin and pretty with of course long blonde hair.

"Omigod!" Blondie nearly squeals. "I've heard all about your escapade, totally amazing, First degree destruction, Putting a guard in the ICU, and getting my older sister to basically do her magic tricks just to prove super hero's are real. Seriously you are definitely one of a kind." She says sounding like she had to say it quickly or it was going to self destruct and kill her.

"Yeah, whatever, revolutionary." Liz said with a whole lot of sarcasm. Blondie nudges her hard. Liz gives her back a glare of the century. "Well, for a newbie you were alright, I guess."

"Yeah, what Cassidy said--" The tall good-looking guy was interrupted.

"Oh wow!" She exclaims. "How rude of me, I'm Cassidy, Katherine's sister, That's Isaiah, Elizabeth, I call her Beth, but of course you can call her whatever you please." Liz glares at her again. "But, I'm sure you already know Andre, boy has he spent a long, long, long time taking care of you, I mean, come on now. Oh and the rest of the crew, the love birds, Jhene and Brian are out somewhere. But welcome to the crew"

"The crew?" I ask. "Look, I don't know who you people are, and right now, I really don't tend to give a shit period, I just want to get out of this place."

"Unfortunately, you can't, don't you get it?" Liz says with attitude. If I didn't know any better I would guess that she was Andre's relative. "We are stuck here, because in some way and some how, we are super natural. We are super hero's. Some of us found our power in our crew. Yet, we can't control it yet."

"Well Liz, look, I am far from a super hero, so get me who is in charge now, I want to leave this place now." I complain.

"Sadly, drama queen, on your case, you can't leave." She said. "No one can ever leave unless there safe so just get comfortable, this is what everybody here goes through too." I look around the room. I feel like everyone feels for me, except for Liz because she just doesn't like me. I look at Andre and I catch him staring back at me. After we catch contact he turns around and leaves the room. Even with him gone, in my mind he's still here.
