Alphas Book One: The Finding

Nine

"What do you mean 'taken'?" I ask Joan. She hands me a folder with my parents on it.

Date of disbandment: April 4th, 2014 5:56 AM.

"Are you telling me that my parents were Alphas?" I ask Joan. She nods. "Not just them. All of your parents. Skylarr, your parents were the Orion Duo. Cosmic powers. Zander, the Arches. Angel archers."

Joan smiles. "You three need to know what is happening. The Omegas gave us a note. It held a alien bomb that we had set in the forest. The bomb was destroyed which meant someone set it off." She says.

"I know it was you three. Don't worry you're not in trouble. Trust me of you were, you'd be dead right now." Joan laughs.

Sky looks over at me, not smiling. "Joan it's President O'nell." Jones hands her a phone. "Mr. President! How are you?.......... I'm fine thanks for asking...... Yes we have the children...... We'll be at base within 4 hours...... Have a good one..... Okay.... Bye-bye." Joan hands the phone back Jones.

I look over a Zander who is staring at Joan. "Bud?" I whisper to him. He quickly turns to me. "Yeah?" He asks. "Nothing just checking on you." I say.

"Hey Jones how about you stop at a department store so we can get these kids out of these jumpsuits." Joan insists. Jones nods.

After turning into American Eagle, we all step out with Joan and Jones. "We'll get the clothes. Just hang tight here. Don't get spotted." Jones says after putting his sunglasses on.

They walk into the store as I open the trunk. The trunk has lots of guns, knives, bows, gloves and blunt weapons. But one thing caught my attention.

A walking stick made of some type of metal. It looks like a giant wizard staff. I pick it up and twirl it around in my hands.

"Cool." I say before hitting it on the ground.

he ground, making me Gize through the staff. Sky takes a pair of gloves and Zander takes a quiver and 34 arrows with the heads.

"Alright kids," Jones says as he and Joan walk out of the store with bags filled with clothes. "Let's get moving." We get into the car with our newly found weapons.

My body starts to ache as Jones drives but I'm fighting it. I put on some jeans, a white tee and short sleeve black dress shirt as Zander does the same with the exception of a black tee and white dress shirt.

Sky jumps into the back to change. She comes back with red leggings, blue shirt and a fedora. "Nice." Zander whispers. I suddenly fall to the floor, holding my side.

I started to gasp for air as I could feel my lungs collapsing. Jones stops the car and turns his chair around.

"What type of powers does he have?!" He yells at Sky and Zander. "Energy based! Please help him!" Sky screams. Jones grabs a small portable generator and lays it in my hand.

I can feel the energy from it flowing into my veins. The pain starts to ease. Jesus help me. I think to myself.

"Are you okay?!" Jones asks me. I shake me head. "I think. What just happened?" I ask. "You have to charge your body after a few days or hours of using your powers." He turns his seat back.

"So I have to charge my body or I die?" I ask him. Jones shakes his head. "Sadly. Hold on to that generator. It'll keep you energized."

This car ride seems horribly long. I hit Zander on his arm, waking him. He opens his eyes with a tired/frustrated look.

"What?" He whines to me. I lay my finger over my lip. Listen to them. I mouth. "Okay President O'nell..... Get the other teens ready for three more..... Two more hours, sir. That's all.... Yes we can make it in 45 if I speed.... Alright. Goodnight Derek." Jones says to into the phone.

"Their are others?" I ask them, startling them. Joan sighs. "Five of them are teens. Those are the ones you guys will be working with." She says.

"How old?" I ask.

"13, 16, 18, 15 and a 17 year old."

"How many are girls?" Sky asks before stretching.

"Three. Jade, Selina and Liz. The boys are Nate and Scott."

"So do they have code names?! Do we get code names?!" Zander exclaims.

"Calm down girl scout. Yes you do abs so do they."

"Can we pick?" I ask her.

"Sure." Joan turns on the radio. A talk show station starts to play. "Today we have three special guests; Endro, Electress and Splozo. The topic is; is The Guardian a superhuman mutant-" Joan cuts the radio off right there.

"God I hate him." Joan says. "The Guardian?" I ask her. "Yes." Oh no. See the thing is, that's Zander's favorite superhero. He's mine too but he doesn't take it very well when you insult him.

This enrages him so much, Zander somehow causes an explosion from outside of the car just with his hand.

The cars next to us roll and tumble over each other as we speed away. But this doesn't stop him. He's still going at it.

I flow into his arm, causing him to stop the explosions. "What the hell is your problem?!" Sky yells at Zander. "It just happened! I couldn't control it!" He replies.

"Damn right you couldn't! I found your name, Splozo!" I say. Everyone in the car stares at me. "Alright Endro." Jones says to me.

Cool name. I think to myself. "Get some rest," Joan suggests. "We still got two hours left." I close my eyes and drift off to sleep.
