A Heartbeat In The Distance

Chapter 20

I've finally decided to update :)

'Is three enough?' I ask Scott, Stiles and Liam who are all around a table. Stiles, Liam and I all have computers in front of us.
'Depends on how many cameras they have. But I think so.' Stiles responds.
'Are we really doing this?' Liam questions,
'We're doing it tonight. Tonight.' Scott states, not only to Liam but to all of us.
'But isn't it kind of dangerous?' Liam asks,
'Yeah it's incredibly dangerous and borderline idiotic.' Stiles says in his sarcastic tone.
'Have you guys done something like this before?' Liam questions Stiles, Liam is very inquisitive right now.
'Something dangerous or something idiotic?' Stiles asks Liam,
'I think it's a yes to both.' I say answering Liam's question.
'You don't have to be apart of it if you don't want to.' Scott treasures him,
'I'm not scared.' Liam states, trying to keep the worry out of his voice.
'Then your borderline idiotic.' Stiles says clapping him on the back.
'If we do this, we don't know what's coming for us. You know that right?' Stiles asks us,
'How do we even know something's definitely coming? I ask them.
'Because the tape from Garrett's bag said visual confirmation required.' Scott says to me,
'Simon said the same thing before Kara came and saved me from his nasty gun. He couldn't get paid by the benefactor until he had proof that you guys were dead.' Stiles contributed, he had told everyone about my little stunt, Scott was still amazed and impressed by me even though he partially knew about my abilities.

'So the idea is, what if you kill someone on the dead pool, but you can't send the proof.' Scott eventually says when he tears his eyes away from me.
'You don't get paid. But how does that get us any closer to the Benefactor?' I ask him back.
'He still needs to know if the target is really dead.' Scott tells me,
'Especially if it's someone high on the list.' Stiles says. I look to Scott assuming he will be the bait, but Scott and Stiles look at me.
'So, Scott's going to be the bait?' I ask nervously, knowing that I'm the highest on the list.
'We were actually hoping, that you could be the bait.' Stiles says carefully knowing I will go ballistic if told this the wrong way.
'What?' I ask calmly taking a double take.
'It will be easy for you, you have the abilities to do it, you'll be fine.' Stiles reassures me but I still don't know how this will work.
'So, if he wants visual confirmation...' Liam says breaking the silence that had fallen.
'He's gonna have to come get it himself.' Scott finishes.

'I can vaguely hear the sirens of the ambulance and the bustle of the hospital as I try and focus on slowing my heart rate enough so it is inaudible to human machine and I stop my breathing. I drift in and out of consciousness, never opening my eyes.
'CLEAR.' I hear someone say then I feel a lurch of energy starting from my chest and spreading throughout my body in hope of kickstarting my organs.
'CLEAR.' I hear again as the same sensation runs over me, I don't hear anyone say 'clear' again.
'I'm calling it.' Is all I hear,
'Time of death 2102 hours.' Is the last I hear as I enter unconsciousness.

As time floats by, my mind drifts, I can see the outside world but as if it was a dream. Scott, Stiles, Liam and Melissa are gathered around me, they're talking about what happens if I stay like this for more than 45 minutes. I die. Everything else goes by so quickly, but I just drift away from my problems and worries. But I find myself in my old bedroom, the one from our house on krypton, it overlooked the whole city.
'Kara, dear.' I hear my mothers voice as she walks through the door. I glance towards the mirror on the opposite side of the room, I look like my twelve year old self, before they sent me away.
'Mother?' I croak out, tears welling in my eyes as she enters my room with father trailing behind her, both in their evening gowns.
"We've been looking for you for a long, long time." She comes over to comfort me.
"Where have u been, I've needed you so many times when I was growing up. Why do I only see you know?" I questioned, I knew they weren't really alive, it was their souls communicating via our connection.

"We have come to warn you my dear. They cannot be trusted.
You can't always trust your own mind, they have ways to make you see." My father tells me, walking closer towards me.
"Can't trust who? Is it Scott? Alex? I know I can trust them they've been here for me." I am suddenly overwhelmed with a surge of power, it feels like I've been hit in the back with a lightening bolt. The energy surges through me from my chest to the tips of my fingers. But they start drifting further away.
"Mum, dad. What's happening?" I yell out to them as the power keeps coursing through my veins.
"Don't trust them." I can only hear a whisper in my ear as they are taken from me. This isn't normal, I know somethings wrong in the real world I just can't seem to break out of the trance I've put myself into.

"KARA! Kara, we need you to wake up know, the plan didn't go well, we need to get out of here now!" All these voices circulating around me are annoying, can they be quiet do they know I'm trying to sleep? Up and down and up and down, andddd up! And downn. Whoaaa I don't feel so good.
Suddenly I was knocked out of my state but I wasn't conscious. I was floating above everyone, we were driving to somewhere in Stiles' Jeep that explains the bumpiness. But I couldn't figure out where we were going though. In the distance I could make out lights, maybe a city skyline, it was still really dark and I'd say it was about 3am. I could see my still body from where I was floating, I looked dead and I'm pretty sure my 45 minutes were up. Starting to lose sight of reality I spot the city sign

CeNtRal CiTY?
