Chapter 7

I've underestimated these guys. Well what do you think they were going to do, let you walk out when ever? There was a guy in here. About my age, little taller. Brown hair. He stood up from what he was doing. "Hey, my name is Daniel. " he said with his hand out. I looked into his eyes and shake his hand. "Nice to meet you." That's when I notice his eyes. It's hard to explain, but it kind of looks like the color part of his eyes is swirling around his pupil. "Whoa, what's wrong with your eyes?" I ask, taking a step back. "Everyone asks that. It's linked to my powers." He says. "Oh, ok. Well what now?" I ask, not knowing what to say. "Don't worry. I can read the expression on your face. Everyone has trouble the first time they get here." He says. "Wait this only happened recently, you can't have that many." I say. "That's were your wrong. The public has just discovered this. It has actually been going on for about a year." He says. A year? I can't believe I people have actually had their powers for a year. "Did you all get force to stay or did you choose to stay?" I ask. "That's a good question. Some of us wanted to control our powers and needed help. Aras was one of the first to develop powers, so he new how to help. So when they came to him to get help, he wouldn't let them leave. Others stay because their true believers." He says. "Which one were you?" I ask. "I wanted to leave, but then I realized that if I tried to, I'd die. Don't worry you'll get used to it." He says like it's a cup of tea. "I hope not. So your like the team captain?" I ask. "Sort of. I'm not the highest level in the team, but yes I am in charge." He says. "How many teams are there? What's your level?" Questions spill out of me. "Many teams and level 3." He answers. "Anyway lets introduce you to the rest of the team." Daniel says. I hate to admit it, but I am excited to meet some new people with powers. Specifically those who don't want to kill me. He leads me to a sparing room. Where two people are going at it and in the corner a guy, moving too fast for my eye to hang to, hitting a bag. "This whole section is assigned to this team and another one." Daniel says. The people in here training stop what their doing and come to check me out. "Check out this guy." The one guy says. He is taller than usual. What looks like six-foot-four. He has black hair and a scare going over his right eye. It seems we all had a physical change to our body. "Guys this is Sam. Guys, Sam." Daniel replays. "The big one step forward, "Hi, I'm Stephen." He says with his hand out. I shake his hand and feel a static change from him. I jerk back in response. "I can already guess what your power is." I say. "I'll explain all of their powers later." Daniel says. The fast one is in front of me in a blink of an eye. "Hi, how ya doing? I'm Michael." He says. He shorter, around five-foot-nine or ten. He had dirty blond hair and a sharp face, but could tell he was the joker. "Hi." I say. The next one steps forward. He has light brown hair and average height. There are glowing yellow lines running from his fingers up to his biceps. "Hi, nice to meet you. I'm Luke." He says. I nod. "The other two members were at the cafeteria, but now probably in the dorm. Let's go. You guys too." Daniel says waving his hand to come follow him. I walk back to the dorm. "So Sam, what's your power?" Michael asks. Daniel answers for me. "You'll find out at training along with the rest of us." "Umm, Daniel, what are these teams for exactly?" I ask. "Well, what i was told was they were mean't to protect our kind if needed, but we all know that's totally bull crap." Daniel answers. "Well what do you think their for." I ask anxiously. "Sorry Sam, don't have all the answers." He says, but I can guess what their for and I think he can too. To invade.

We arrived back at the dorm and found the last two members, who were in the middle of a conversation. They both looked at me. "Ah here he is." The bigger one says. He's around Stephen's size. The shorter one says, "How are you doing? Names Ben, that guy is Lincoln, but we all call him link, like from the video game." Ben says. "Yeah, I get it." I say. He looks to be the youngest. "Ok, guys. Now that you've all met we'll head to the training room, but first let me talk to you." Daniel says pointing to me. The rest of the guys leave for the training room and Daniel motion me in the dorm. "I'll explain their powers now, it might be useful later." He says. "What do you mean." I ask. "Nothing. Let's get to it. We'll start with Michael. His ability is linked with electricity. It flows through him. You can move fast, but only by running. He can do everything fast. His body heals faster, reads faster, and probably runs faster than you. You get the point." He explains. Wow, i though I was fast. "Next Stephen. His powers are interesting. So yes his power also is electric. He can change any object with electricity, it's more electric if it's a conductor. So for example, if he were to shoot you with a bullet, then focus on the bullet before it hits you, it would be electrified and would hurt a lot. Thankfully he hasn't figured that out yet." He says. "So he doesn't have to be touching it?" I ask. "That's right." He answers. "So he could look at me and I would get tasered." I ask, this does not sound good. "Yes unless he can't see you. But like I said it works better if there's like metal on you." He says. I look at my pockets. "Anyway moving on. Luke, now he is truly interesting. He has some tough skin. Like if you were to shot him, it would only make him have a bad bruise."
He continues. Wow. "He can fly, yeah didn't believe that myself at first. Each of our powers is base of an element, some people have mixed elements, to kind of create mixed powers. He's one of them. He can shoot a blast of energy, but only if he has both hands together. We all have a kink in our armor." He says. "Then you have Lincoln. His body turns into metal." He says bluntly. "When he does turn into metal, he has increased strength. Also he can create metal and form it into objects. But if something electric touches him, you get the point. Pretty cool huh?" He says with a smile. "I wouldn't say that." I say. "Now Ben is a potential 5. One of the few. He can create worm holes that teleport him anywhere he wants. But here's the catch he has to throw an object to open one. He hasn't figured out how to do it by himself." He says. "Well how is he a level 5 then?" I ask. "If he creates a worm whole big enough, it creates a black hole and sucks the whole universe up. So that's why." He says straight faced. "Oh." Is all I say. "Come on, the other are waiting." He says motioning me to follow.
