Our Generation: Book 1

Chapter Three

Charlotte groaned rolling her neck. She tugged on her binds trying to get free. Zack walked in. "Its no use."
"Why are you doing this to me?" She asked.
"Stop asking questions!" Zack roared backhanding Charlotte. Her head whipped to the side. "Just stop."
"Zack its not you." Charlotte yelled. She noticed the needle mark in his arm. "They did this." She teleported out of her binds. "I can help you."
"How do you teleport? The cuffs block our powers."
"I don't know." Charlotte admitted.
"Stop distracting me!" Zack blasted her into the wall. She fell to the floor with a thud. This went on for a while. Charlotte had blood dripping from her nose and leaking from the corner of her mouth. "Why aren't you fighting back?"
"I don't hurt my friends." She blasted Zack into a wall. He hit his head, knocking him out cold. Charlotte grabbed the cuffs and placed them on Zack. "Unless I have to." She teleported to Ultra founder's house.

"What did you do to him?"
"Inject him with our latest creation."
"Where's the antidote?"
"I'll never tell." He laughed. "You'll be dead when the kill squad get here."
"If I was you I'd watch your back." Charlotte teleported back to the factory. A women was there cleaning Zack's cuts. Charlotte got into a fight stance. This time she was prepared to fight anyone she had to friend or not. "Who are you?" The women stood up. Charlotte gasped. "Mom!" She hugged her mother, Julia. "How do I save him?"
"You're a clever girl you'll figure it out."
"I know!" Charlotte went back to Ultra HQ.

Charlotte headed for the lab. A man was alone. Charlotte picked up the nearby gun. She pointed it at the man's head. "How do I save my friend?"
"Antidote is over there." Her shakily pointed at some vials. Charlotte put the gun in her waistband and headed over to the various coloured vials. "Red."
"Good." Charlotte grabbed a needle and the red vial. With her free hand she grabbed the man. She teleported them to the factory. She shoved the equipment in the man's chest. "Help him. If it doesn't work I'll shoot you." The man injected Zack. His black visible veins started to fade. "Did that work?"
"Yes." The man replied. "Please don't kill me."
"What's your name?"
"Alfie."
"Okay. Alfie where in the entire world do you want to go?"
"Oh." He pulled a postcard out of his back pocket and handed it to Charlotte. On one side was Alfie, a women and two kids. "My family."
"You want to be with them again?"
"Yes."
Alright." Charlotte grabbed Alfie and teleported to the address on the postcard. "They're inside."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome. Now go." Alfie headed for the door. He knocked. The door opened and the women gasped. The two kids appeared and hugged Alfie. The women and kids went inside. Alfie turned to Charlotte one last. He waved and went inside. Charlotte teleported to the factory. Her head was buzzing. "My head hurts."
"That's all of our people. You've got a connection to them all. Guess that makes you the leader." Julia explained to Charlotte. "Congratulations."
