Heroes Until Dawn

Hazelnuts...

JOSH POV

I sit in the campus coffee shop with Z, Chris, and Ash. Waiting for Mike, Sam, and Jess to come.

"How much longer are we going to wait for them?" Ash asks.

I then hear the bell on the door ring. I look over my shoulder and see Sam, Jess, and Mike enter the coffee shop.

"Wait no longer." I say.

"Hey guys." Mike greets us, he sounds like he's having a hangover.

They take a seat across me.

"So... I guess you guys know why we're here." Z starts.

Everyone nods.

"Alright, I have reason to believe that Em's dad is probably in town and he's not alone." Z tells us.

"Sorry to sound impatient, but would it be better if we could all hold hands and let you see the future." Mike suggests.

HAZEL POV

I roll my eyes. "Let's go somewhere private."

Everyone stands up and walks out of the coffee shop.

"Follow me, I know a place." Mike says as he starts leading the group.

Few minutes later...

We arrive at a small clearing in the middle of the woods near the park.

We walk round the area until we form a circle.

"Last time I did this... Three of our friends died." I say.

"It's not your fault." Josh assures me.

I shake my head and take his hand.

"You guys know what to do." I say.

We all take each other's hands.

I close my eyes...

CHARLES WALKER POV

"How many more powers do you need dad?" My son asks.

"This is the last one. I can promise you that." I tell him.

"What can this guy do anyway?" He asks.

"Ever heard of a human lie detector?" I ask.

"Of all the things you could get! You choose that!" He says.

"Keep your voice down! Pretend we're a father and son on a road trip who's car broke down in the middle of the road." I tell him.

He scoffs. "Road trip... Sounds better than a revenge plot." He says.

"Just play along!" I tell him.

We stop in front of the door of the person's house. I press the button of the bell and hear it ring from the inside. Not long after a young man opens the door.

"Do you guys need anything?" He asks us.

"Yes. Our car broke down a couple of blocks from here we were wondering if you could help us out." I tell him.

"That's funny because this is a rather friendly neighborhood." He says.

"Apparently, we checked the other homes. Doesn't seem like anyone's home." I say.

"You could've just called the cops." He says.

"I don't think they respond to calls for a hitchhike." I chuckle.

"If you guys want, I could call the local towing company to help you out." He suggests.

I look at my son. He just shrugs.

"That would be great thanks." I smile.

"Wanna come in?" He asks as he steps aside.

"If it doesn't bother you." I reply.

He then gestures us to come in.

"Thank you."

MIKE POV

I feel the rush of energy flowing through my body end. I open my eyes and see everyone is catching their breath.

"What did you see?" I ask Z.

"Em's dad... He's gonna die." She says.

"How is that a bad thing?" Josh asks.

"Believe me... I think someone worse is taking his place." She says.

CHARLES WALKER POV

I finish stuffing the body in the guys attic.

Well, my son did most of the work.

"Well..." My son starts.

"Did you think Em was a bisexual?" I ask him.

"What?" He asks.

"Just answer the question."

"No."

I then feel something in me. I guess that's how my new power works.

"Nice try... I'm a human lie detector now." I tell him.

"Cute..." He says.

We then hear police sirens outside the house.

"Someone must have heard him scream." I say.

"No shit." My son replies.

"James, take care of them." I tell him. 

JAMES POV

I light my hand son fire and start walking towards the front door. I lock the door open and shoot a ring of fire around me catching the cops of guard.

They start opening fire at me but I stop the bullets with my mind. I hear footsteps behind me and watch my clones walk in front of me.

I count four clones...

The first one makes the ground shake. The others burn, freeze, and electrify the cops.

I love being a power sponge...

Few hour later...

Dad and I sit on the roof of a building overlooking the cemetery.

"She would be glad you're doing this James." My dad says.

"Who are you and what have you done with my father?" I ask humorously.

He only chuckles.

I then look at the scorched neighborhood.

"Think this will make the news?" I ask.

"Is it not obvious..."
