I had been on the road for about three hours before stopping. After 5 sodas and three boxes of Mike&Ike's, it was about 5 in the morning. I found he nearest Walmart and bought a few blankets and pillows. I had realized I forgot that while packing, that's when is saw the twins.
Two short red head kids with freckled faces walked up to me.
"Sir, would you happen to have any spare change?" they said, trying to look innocent, but failed because of the mischievous look in their blue and green eyes.
" What do you need it for?" I asked a little sternly, just to see what they could come up with.
They both looked at each other surprised, like they didn't expect anyone would ask. The first one said
"Well... we're..... orphans and....." he look at his brother.
" Our aunt......... only feeds us....... cake." said the second one as his brother smacked the back of his head.
" What's wrong with being feed cake?" I said trying not to laugh.
" Well....you see.... she only makes cake..... every five days... and we finish it on the first day......"
" And we need to have nutrients.......because...... we want to be professional ballerinas." Said the second one as the first one shot him a glare that probably meant I will kill you in your sleep.
" He means baseball players." he said and smiled and then nudged the second one to do the same.
" What are your names?" I laughed.
" Castor." said the first sheepishly.
" And Pollex." said the other looking just as guilty.
"Well, Castor and Pollex, you may be orphans, but I don't believe you live your aunt, because no one would let there nephews out at 5 in the morning. Now you live with an older sibling of some sort." I said as I reached for my wallet. " Here's 20 bucks, next time, come up with up better story."
" Wow, thanks dude!" they said simultaneously.
Just then there was a loud explosion, I quick jumped and grabbed the twins as wreckage fell on us. Then a girl with straight blond hair came running by, and screamed.
"Castor! Pollex! Where are you? We are a aborting mission!" she said looking around.
" Dude, get up!" said Pollex.
I started to stand up, but the stuff on top of us was heavy, with another extra push, I threw it off.
" Hey Izzy, I don't think we need to abort the mission." said one of the twins.
I looked around confused. What on earth were they talking about? But then I realized. the wreckage I threw, had have weighed about a ton, and I had threw it have way across the store.
"Aw crap. You weren't suppose to see that." I said really confused and terrified.
"Oh, I think we were," said the girl, she was pretty, and had green eyes, but seemed flirtatious, "Come on or Sean will kill us! And don't call me that, you know how much that annoys me!"
"Sorry, not sorry!" they both said and ran off up the stairs. The whole place was in flames, I wondered what could have caused such an explosion, or if the store was attacked.
"I knew they would say that. By the way, Bruce, I'm Isabell." she said, smiling and fluttering her eyes at me.
"Wait, how do you know my name? That's super creepy."
Another boy came running by, with two girls, one that looked like him and one that looked like him and another that looked like Izzy.
"Hey you called me Izzy in your head!" she said.
"What? No I didn't. Who are they?" I quickly replied, lying.
" Yes you did, Bruce. I'm a telepath I can read your mind. That's Sean, his sister Ali and Maria, my sister. We all have powers just like you."
"Isabell! What heck are you standing there for?! There was just a flipping explosion and your flirting!" yelled Sean
"Yeah Izzy, we have to get to the bus!" said Maria
" I have to get to my car, Bye guys! Nice meeting you!" Said as I ran to one the entrance, which was covered by fire, as I looked around, I realized, the only thing that wasn't covered by fire was the stair case.
Izzy yelled "Bruce, Castor and Pollex Are up stairs, they said we can jump on to the bus from there, they already picked up your car!"
"What, how'd you get my car? Who are you people? How do you know me? Why should I trust you, I just met you, and you guys just met me." I said, unsure of what to do. Just because I had super strength and could fly, it didn't mean I was invincible. I needed to get out, and fast.
"Look, do you even know what hit the building? We can tell you and if you have super powers, we will help you discover them, control them. You don't have to do this alone. You won't make it out there without someone, and we are that someone. We can help each other and learn to trust one another." Said Sean, he seemed cool and collective. "Right now you need to come with us since this is the only way out."
"Fine" I ran towards the stairs, the five of us ran up the stairs quickly, while the area around us started to turn in to fire, The smoke clogging the air, it got hard to breath.
" We have to climb this latter, then we will be on the roof and then we can jump on to the We were almost there." One by one we headed up the latter, I was last, crashing behind us were the remnants of what wasn't burned yet. There was one very large crash, and it shook the whole ground, causing the latter to be unstable. We all held on, but Ali slipped and fell.
"NO!" screamed Sean as she fell, quickly my football senses kicked in, Ali was the ball, and I had to catch her before she hit the ground. I jumped out and caught her, but forgot that I had nothing to land on but fire.
"I'm so sorry, I meant to save you." I said to her.
"But you did. You're flying." She replied. I looked down to see that she was right, I was flying. I started moving upwards, to the roof, and went through it, (thanks to my super strength), everyone else met us up top. Sean quickly ran to Ali to make sure she was okay.
"Are you hurt?" Sean asked, while checking for injuries.
"I'm fine, superman saved me!" She replied, pointing and smiling towards me.
"Thanks for saving my sister. You have my trust." Sean said to me.
"Thanks." I replied
"Now everyone jump on the bus!" Sean yelled, as we ran to the side of the building, while jumping on to the bus, a final explosion went off. I couldn't help but think I was in an action movie.
