The Brylar Chronicles

Chapter 3: I'll be there too

Set after episode 3.  

Bree's POV:  

"Hey, Hey Guys? Guys! What are you doing? I'm still out here! Guys!! Comeback!!" I yell after my team as they leave the penthouse.
They're gone. They left, to who knows where, and left me behind. I can't believe even Chase forgot about me!

I sigh to myself and turn around to face the empty space of the terrace surrounding me.

I glance up to the open window which Kaz flew into. If only I could reach it somehow... Oh right, I have suer agility, duh. I seriously need to stop forgetting my bionic abilities. That window leads straight into Skylar and I's room, I kept meaning to shut it but right now I'm glad I didn't.

I walk near the edge of the terrace taking in a deep breath and with a running jump, I leap at the wall, successfully sticking to it a good three-quarters up. Now I just need to leap up into the window.

I position myself as I have done previously throughout training simulators in the lab with Adam and Chase. Alight Bree, on three.
One, Two... Three.

I leap up towards the window using my super speed, perfectly If I do say so myself. However, what was not so perfect was the way my foot slips against the wall, causing me to skid and come crashing down onto the floor.

Ow, Okay. That hurt. I hiss as pain spreads throughout my ankle from my landing. I'm really hoping that I've only sprained it.

I crawl towards the door and lean my back against it. It looks like that I will be here a while after all.

'Oh hey Bree, how was you're evening?'
'Oh y'know, just great. Spent it locked out on a terrace in the freezing cold with nothing to do and nothing to eat, while my team is wherever, doing whatever with out me.' I whine out into the silence.

I remain sat in silence, nothing but the white noise of the bustling Centium city below me filling the night. The icy city winds soon kick up and begin to nip at my arms which are only covered with my thin jumper. The gusts send chills up my spine, causing me to carefully bring my knees up to my chest to conserve heat energy. Thank you Mr Davenport for teaching us that old survival trick.

I seriously can't believe Kaz would do that to me though! He should know that I'm still locked outside. It's a good thing that I'm bionic or else I would probably freeze to death out here after so long.

The winds somehow manage to decrease in temperature, my chattering teeth as evidence, and so I fold my arms around my knees, trying to gain an even smaller surface area.

I guess that I really should invest in buying a new jacket at some point in the near future.

Becoming tired and the pain in my ankle increasing, I decide to quit trying and wait it out, resting my forehead on my arms. They'll be back eventually, hopefully sooner rather than later.

Skylar's POV:

Today's been great! Well, up until the part I almost died.. again Moving on, I have my powers back! I honestly didn't think the day would come! and to top it off, I managed to use my newly regained powers to stop a pig from stealing Oliver's Video games!

I'm currently on the way back from a tasteful, celebratory meal with Chase, Oliver and Kaz. Ok, tasteful may be a slight exaggeration, but in fairness, Burger King is still better than some of the food back on Caldera.
