Chapter 6- The Grand Tour
" Woah woah woah wait a minute. What the heck is a legacy?" I asked.
" Are you pulling my leg? You seriously don't know about legacies? You never wondered about your powers?"
" What powers? " I frowned.
" Maybe I should discuss this with the others later..." he said thoughtfully after a while.
" Nevermind. I'll just give you a tour around first." he decided. He gestured me to follow him.
" Maybe you have telepathy.... Ok, I'm going to try to convey you a message and you tell me whether you got the message. "
He closed his eyes in concentration and I followed. I waited and waited, but nothing happened.
" Well? " Jamie asked impatiently after while.
I shook my head. He sighed.
"Nevermind, I'll just continue with the tour first. I'm not sure whether you'll understand any of this, but I'll just tell you anyway. Legacies are people who have powers. Like flame-throwing, flying, super strength, fast speed, invisibility, etc.
" For example, I have speed and levitity, which is the ability to levitate things with my mind, and the ability to change form, which is pretty cool.
" All legacies have telepathy. Usually, legacies are orphans. Legacies who become parents and have a child usually dumps their child at the orphanage in case they die in battle.
" Of course, popular examples of legacies are Superman, Wonderwoman, Spiderman and all that stuff. Spiderman was a jerk by the way. Always showing off.
" Batman was the closest non-legacy to being as powerful as a legacy. And also there is no such thing as a green lantern.
" Those big-shots had to get costumes and masks to hide their identity because their cover got blown.
"Usually we legacies like to do stay low, saving the world without drawing attention. But, well, it couldn't be helped for them."
He turned round the corner, revealing another long black corridor.
" Well, the Manhatten headquarters for Legacies is one of the smaller headquarters, but we're able to squeeze, considering the fact that the number of Legacies has dropped drastically.
" We have 13 legacies living here, which is considered quite a lot as nowadays. Little legacies have been found or borned. Parents won't have children because of the recent attacks.
" And of course, the number of fallen legacies over the last 5 years have grown. We're in quite a spot.
" We're almost there." he announced happily.
At the end of the corridor was a large iron door. Jamie opened it and I gasped. The hall was magnificent.
The hall was full of dangerous weapons and training gear. Wicked sharp swords and blades were stacked at a corner
There was an arena full of knives sticking out of the floor. There was also weight-lifting tools and other work-out things.
There were many people training, and all were amazing.
But of all performances, the most eye-catching one was of a blonde youth.
Red, hot fire danced out of his hands as he twirled in mid-air, fighting another ginger youth.
By the look on the other ginger youth's face, he pretty much knew he was outmatched.
