Emma March: A Hero

Emma part 8

You flew into the room with Edward standing on your feet. It was huge. The ceiling was maybe 50 feet tall. There were massive targets hanging on the walls everywhere. They were maybe three feet across.
"Wow..."
" I know. This place, the facility, it took six months to complete. It was originally going to be a police station. And then this... issue arose."
You set Edward down to inspect the room.
You walked around it circles taking it all in. He was watching you. You could feel it.
" you can hit the targets with your ice. Or just punch them. They're indestructible. They're made of a special metal that I call 'Emedmon' it can only be found in Poland though. We had it come overseas."
" I've never heard of that metal. It's not common then?"
" well, I said it was 'special' so no it isn't common." You gave him a dirty look," I accidentally found it on a trip there actually. It was quite exciting. I got to name it and I got credit for it all. Lots of money and fame... I was the first one to discover its properties. It can only be cut by the finest of blades."
" If it's that special, why is it on targets?!" You ask, incredulously.
" I told you, it's indestructible besides that blade."
" so you're the brains in this operation?," you asked him," your the one who invents everything and plans everything and saves everything, while not getting any credit?"
" well, not exactly. Miner- Miss Roan does a lot as well. And Mr. Heron. I get some credit. Not as much as I would like. But some."
" hmm. There's always someone like that in every movie."
" yes there is. But I promise you." He looked right at you." I will not turn evil and betray the world."
There was a cough behind both of you. You turned to see Miss Roan.
" Aah! Minerva! It's so spiffing to meet you face to face," you said, feigning shock and joy.
"That would be Miss Roan to you." Edward laughed openly.
" I want to see you fly! I trust Edward told you about your new abilities?"
She shot him a look that shut him up.
" I want you to show me all of your powers. There might be something extra, a side affect that we could make permanent."
You floated up off the ground ten feet, and went around the whole room a few times.
" Good! The ice!" Shouted Minerva.
You came up five feet away from the nearest target from you. You concentrated on it. You stuck out your right hand. You could feel the cold creeping down your arm. You could feel the power. You closed your hand into a fist and opened it forcefully.
Nothing happened. I must look like an idiot, you thought. You tried again.
You could feel it. It felt amazing. The power inside you made you feel better than you had in days.
It crept down your arm. Into your hand. Though your fingers. You could feel the cold trying to get out. You concentrated. It would get out on its own. It was trying. You gave it a little puts in the right direction.
It came shooting out of your finger tips. Out of your hand. It hit the target right in the middle. It formed a fist sized ball of ice that stuck in the dent it had made.
" excellent! That was great!" Edward called up to you.
" I dinted it!" You shouted down with horror.
" go pull it out and see what happens!" He responded, smirking.
So you did. And before your eyes the target sprang back into form. There was not even so much as a scratch on it.
" wow..." you whispered," stop acting so smug!" You shouted down to him.
" as you wish Emma. Try covering the whole thing!"
