I wake up and try to move but I'm unable. I jerk my arms and legs but they are hand cuffed to a hospital bed. I hear the sounds of the surrounding hospital around me. The beeping, machine hum, someone crying. I continue to fight against my restraints but I am still in able to get free. I start to sweat and then I feel the pain from all the miniature stab wounds on my back. I look to my right and I see Mark on his back, his eyes closed. A nurse has his arm and continues to repetedly cut it and watch it heal spontaneously.
"Hey!" I yell and he drops the knife and walks out. A couple seconds after he walks out three armed men show up and point their guns at me. I look for any way out but I'm held down. I see my bat and I strain my hand to get it to me.
"I don't think so." the mysterious man says as he walks over and grabs the bat. I force the power to his good and knock it off. He is wearing a bandana over his face so only his eyes show. His hair is dark brown and short. He smiles at me as holds my weapon over his shoulder.
"Who are you?!" I yell at him. He chuckles at the question.
"Lets just say a government asset, but they don't know I'm tricking them." he says leaning on the bed of my bed. The three men look at each other and point the gun at him.
Right as the one closest gun is pointed towards, he grabs the barrel of the gun deflecting the shot and pull the guy towards him as a shield. They other two shoot him instead, hitting the cellar vest. His hand becomes red hot and burns through him. He shoots the other two men and they drop to the floor. I hear rattling to my right and I see that Mark has woken up. He stares at the asset with fear then up at me. I return the look and turn back to him.
"Sorry you had to see that. Now, back to business." He says and grabs a chair coming close to my face so Mark can't hear him. "Your special. Very special."
"I know I'm a Meta." I say angrily.
"No!" he yells. "Even more. You are even more special than every other Meta. I want you to help me with the rebelion. Fight the government and win our freedom."
"By killing inocent people, no thanks." I say and he starts to look angry.
"That's not what we do!" He tells and I start to get worried. "We protect Metas from the government. Right for our right to be known." He says with enthusiasm, but I don't respond I look at him with fear. His face drains of all emotion. The Asset is a murderer. I can't trust him. He punches me and in a swift motion he takes off the cuffs and puts my hands behind my back to cuff them again. He takes off the ones on my feet and stands me up. I look over and I see that Mark is gone. I don't know how but I'm not as lucky.
The Asset pushes me into the hall where I se Andrew in the same problem I am in. We get shoved out of the building and into a car on the street. I sit next to Andrew. He gives me a look as we start to drive off. I nod, understanding what he is asking of me. We start to drive and I wait a while. The Asset is looking out the Windows at the city. He acts like a big kid. But all I see is a murderer.
We continue to drive and I twitch my fingures suddenly and the whole car flips. We go flying through the air and land upside down. Andrew absorbs the cuffs and takes mine as well. He exits as I try to regain my head from the flip. I hear him fighting someone and gets pinned to the ground and has plastic cuffs put on him. The Asset enters my side and holds a gun to my face.
"Get out." He says angrily. We are in front of a court house and he grabs us both and drags us in. We enter one of the courts were one old looking judge sits in his chair. No jury. No witnesses. Just us. I start to sweat and worry. I look at Andrew, who has a cut on his lip from his attempted fight with The Asset. He looks a grey to see the judge.
"You." he says, obviously knowing the judge. I try to push against my restraints, but it's no use.
"Andrew Pike and Grant McGeachy. You are accused and found guilty of exposing your Meta ability to the world. You sentence is death." he says and Andrew flips his shit.
"You bastard!" he yells and The Asset has to hold him back. "This was what you wanted the whole time! And guess what you duck! This won't last! Your power. This sword you have above us will fall. Just like it did with John Kelly!" he yells and The judge walks over to Andrew. The Asset pulls out a gun and places it to his head. The judge waves him off.
"This is what you decided to bring soon yourself. Now take it like a man." He says and looks at The Asset. "Take them. Now." He says and he puts the gun away and pushes us through the doors. We walk down the steps. Andrew turns to me and has a wiked smile on his face. I get a reading of what he needs.
"Now!" he yells and we flip up into the air. As we fall up, a plane flies over head and flips to let us in. We crash into the plane and I reset the gravity. Andrew shoots a blade at my cufs and breaks them. I grab a gun and shoot through his. We run up to the clock pit and see Zack flying the plane.
"You know how to fly this?" I ask and he looks at me with sweat driving down his face.
"No!" he yells and Andrew tryies to take the controls, but it's to late. We crash into a building and stop at the edge of the floor we crashed into. I regain my head and look up to see the ground below us. I stay as still as possible and I start to panic. Andrew looks up and does the same.
"Andrew, please do something."I say and he shoots me a look.
"Coming from the gravity shifter." he says almost spitefully. I shoot him a look.
"I've never done it to something this big before." I say as Zack wakes up and jerks forward. We yell at him but we start to fall. We fall from what seemed like twenty stories. We scream and almost hit the street below us. I hold my hand out right before we meet the end. I close my eyes. I don't feel anything so I open my eyes and I see a family below us, parents holding their children in fear. On kid was holding a small test bear in their hand and stares me in the eyes with fear. They run away and I release a sigh of releaf.
All of a sudden we are staring at the warehouse floor, falling towards it. I hit the floor but then realize the family wasn't safely away. I look at Paul.
"Take me back!" I yell and he looks confused. "Now!" I yell and he does. We apear and I see the the crash from the plane. .I walk over and I see the test bear lying on the ground. I get on my knees and pick it up. Tears escape my eyes. I scream out as I hold the test bear. A swirling motion so happens around me, picking up debre. They died because I didn't save them. I killed them.
