What Would Happen?

Part 6

*clink clink screech* "AAHHH!"

This screeching noise was way too familiar for me to forget. The sound of the screeching and clanking filled the air with caution. What if the virus was here in this building? What if the virus were to cause us to die? My mind was full of confusion. I lost control on the inside but stayed still on the outside.

His hand had dropped onto the ground south of the light source. Ashton was the first one to run over there.  Ashton picked up the man's head and started to shake it while shouting "OIIII! Wake up, old dude! We don't have time to wait for you, so hurry and wake up. We've got questions!" Ashton continued to violently shake the man's head.

"Ashton! Stop acting like Barry!" I shouted.

"No! You can't tell me what to do, Marissa! I'm an independent woman!" Ashton protested.

We laughed for a few seconds but soon remembered the situation at hand. Ashton slowly backed away. The unconscious man who had growing blue metal all over his body had scars across his face.
ABILITIES. TEENAGERS. WIELDERS. ABILITIES.
Whenever I looked at this man, I experienced a severe attack of nausea. All I could think about was those words playing through my mind like a mixtape going on loop. I looked up to see if anyone else was feeling uncomfortable or trying to avoid looking at him. In truth, all of them were. Everyone but Veronica had their backs turned. Veronica was kneeling and observing the horribly dressed hooligan. She had her mouth covered and looked extremely pale. She tried her best not to look away.

"Veronica! What are you doing? I know you know that there is something strange about this man. You should get up and back away," I said, unconsciously letting out a hint of fear.

"No way! Him being strange is all the more reason to act like detective and find out who he is and--"

"Veronica-NOW...!" I demanded. She reluctantly backed away and kept her eyes away from the stranger.

"Let's try to see if we can wake 'im up before the metal completely devours him." Amber suggested.

"Good idea." Said Leyna. "Maybe we can question him, but what do we ask?"

"We might as well start off with 'Who are you?' 'Do you know how this happened?' And then gradually move onto 'Are you working for ability hunters?'" Barry answered.

--time skip--
After about an hour or so, he regained consciousness but the the metal grew from the stomach to the chest. Though, it's a bit odd how the metal on this body grew slower than the other man's body. Oh well. I guess each person might have a different rate of growth with the metal.

Barry got straight to the point when asking questions after we all stopped feeling nauseous. He didn't even try beating around the bush to make himself seem gentle. Talk about harsh.

"Who are you? What's your name?" Barry questioned.

"Um... My name is Coulson." He replied.

"Alright then, Son of Coul, do you remember what happened to you before you blanked out?" I asked. Veronica had a strange smirk on her face and looked at me before he answered. We started giggling back at one another. For those of you who are lost, Veronica and I are big fans of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. ( The Coulson and Son of Coul part came from the series)

Coulson answered my question after my burst of laughter. "I actually remember breathing in some smoke coming from a bomb that a maniac with long hair threw. I ran in here and remembered screaming for help." He replied.

"Oh? Then do you remember anything else?" Ashton impatiently asked.

"Ummm....."

While Ashton and Barry continued interviewing him, I dragged Veronica over to the side to privately have a conversation. "Hey, Veronica. Remember when we found the guy who got shot in the head? Did you notice how fast his body got swallowed up by the blue metal, and that was just in a few minutes.Don't you think it's weird how an hour passed and the metal only grew five inches or so on Coulson?" I asked.

"Yeah. Not only that but his memory doesn't seem hazy at all. He pretty much answered the questions milliseconds after they were given. Also, notice how nothings growing right now. It's strange." Whispered Veronica.

"I think that Barry's assumption of Coulson being apart of that organization has a 85% chance of being right." I worriedly said.

"Let's go back to really see if it's true." Veronica said.

"Barry, I believe you've stalled long enough." I interrupted.

"Hey, Coulson. You wanna tell us a small secret? Like how you're in the organization that did this to you?" Veronica fired.
