RECAP:

“Right this way.” The Red-Skull-Wannabe gestures towards one of the taller building towards the center.

Why do I feel so scared?

Place: Styx Recruiting Camp (SRC),

Central Sierra Nevada of California,

USA

Time: October 1st, 2011---- 10:00 am

Zak’s POV

Andria starts making her way to the building. We follow. The red dude makes his way to walk beside Andria. No one says a word on our way there. We keep walking until we end up in front of some glass doors. Little Red Riding Hood opens the door to let us in. As we walk in, we are greeted by a registration desk with a blonde lady at the desk. The reception area looks like it could have belonged to any corporate building. It is complete with sofas and coffee tables for those waiting. Except there is no one there except for the lady. She glances at us briefly and picks up a phone. She doesn’t talk into it. She just waits. After a few moments of us waiting at the door, she puts the phone down.

“A counsellor will be with you right away. You may take a seat.” She says to us. She gestures towards the leather sofas and arm chairs. We take a seat. The red dude walks out the way he came without another word. Looks like these guys don’t believe in greetings.

We stare at each other in utter silence until an old lady walks in. If I didn’t know any better I would have thought she was Dr. Lavinia Drear. They both definitely look similar. I didn’t know Dr. Drear had a twin. “Good morning, kidlings.” The lady greets us in a cheery voice. Okay---they are DEFINATELY not related. When Dr. Drear is always dressed in a lab coat with plain black clothing underneath. On the other hand, this lady is casually dressed in white shorts and light blue tank top. She looks much younger than Dr. Drear because of her clothing. You could even say she looks pretty.

“Don’t look so scared. I am not going to bite you.” The lady says to us. “I have been told that you already know what your powers are and that one of our agents have sent you here to train. Is that correct?” she asks. How does she KNOW this? We only said this to Red Skull and he hasn’t even had a chance to talk to her. Creepy.

“Yes. It is correct.” Xavier answers.

“Okay then. So would you like telling me what powers you possess?” the lady asks with what looks like a genuine smile.

“I can perform telekinesis.” Andria says.

“Illusions.” Xavier adds.

“Teleportation.” I say.

“Controlling emotions.” Nick says, hesitantly. The lady smiles at Nick.

“No need to feel bad.” She says. “Controlling emotions can be very helpful during negotiations. If used properly, you will never have to fight a soul.” This seems to encourage Nick a bit.I want to shake some sense into Nick. He isn’t trusting her already, is he? Doesn’t he see that she is playing games with him? I prefer Dr. Drear any day. At least she shows what she is.

“Okay then. Chop chop. Lets head over to the Training grounds and see what you can do, shall we? If we think you are good, you will be teleported by tomorrow morning.” She says as she leads us down a hall.

Andria’s POV

I look at the clothes we have been given to change into. Black and shape less. Great. Who cares anyway? It is not like I have anyone to impress. I close my eyes and will my armour to replicate the clothing that is given to us. I cannot take this off at any rate.

I look around the room they have given me. It is nothing like the room we had back at Zion. But it isn’t that bad either. It has plain white walls and the room is the size of a single bedroom at any hotel. It has a bed against one wall with a bed table beside it. One wall has two windows that look into the rainforest. They are closed right now to keep the cold air from the air conditioning in the room. 

I sit on the bed. Tomorrow morning we are being shipped (teleported) off to the Styx Institute. The testing went well. They took similar tests to the ones we had at Zion to confirm we had the powers we did. I was scared for a second that they would figure out that we have BODY powers as well. But I guess their testing didn’t reveal that, because at dinner, Xana (the Dr. Drear replica) said that the tests were positive.

Dinner was a little odd because we had it in a private room instead of a cafeteria where most people would have meals together in any camp. In fact, ever since I have gotten here, I have only seen the people I am meant to see. I haven’t seen anyone beside the receptionist, Xana and the watch-man. Odd.

We are leaving at 5 am tomorrow. I look at the clock placed on the wall of the room; 10:00. It is a good thing that time is slower everywhere else on Earth than in this place. Because if that wasn’t the case, my parents would be looking for me by now. I make my way over to the bed and try to sleep. It is going to be a long night...
