Unstoppable

Chapter 9

$73, that's how much they got from puck pocketing the locals. Isn't a lot but it is enough to feed them. The next step for them is to find who Octavia is and where they can find her. The weird feeling they all got when they exited the forest came back to them in waves. An urge almost, Ignite flinches every time it happens, its new. The group lays down in the grass of the park, the sun down; stars out. They try to ignore the urges they have, they still have no idea what they mean or how they will help them find this Octavia person, whoever that is. They lay silent, each one struggling to find sleep while searching their brains.

"Oh my god!" Adapta exclaims sitting up hastily.

"Zwhat? Zwhat is it?" Changling asks urgently sitting up as well and looking to face Adapta.

"Octavia! I knew that name sounded familiar! My girlfriend knew of an old students named Octavia that the school expelled because she was doing bad things with her powers!" Adapta says excitedly. Hydro repeats what she says into Ignite's head, it's too dark for her to see Adapta's lips.

"Wait let me get this straight.....you're gay?" Damian asks, Adapta rolls her eyes and nods her head, he should know by now that she is gay, she hasn't exactly been hiding it.

"I thought that was obvious" Adapta says Damian shakes his head.

"Not to me it wasn't!" He exclaims

Not the point! What were the details of this story?" Hydro asks silencing Damian

"This girl was like really powerful and found a way to either amplify her powers or give humans powers through some magic serum she created. She used it in all the way not ways and when her boyfriend was killed on a mission for the school she went on some revenge thing until they went her away" Adapta explains she receives nods all around.

"Do you know what her powers are?" Hydro asks

"Why does that matter?" Adapta asks

"Because, maybe we can figure out how to protect ourselves against her" Hydro says Adapta thinks to herself.

"No I don't" she says apologetically " I was just told she is powerful, that's why we can sense her. She is so powerful that she sends waves to other people with powers" Adapta states furrowing her brow.

"Good work" Hydro affirms Adapta smiled and lays back down on the grass.

The next morning the team attempts to find out how to use their urges to find Octavia. They notice that when you go to a certain direction the feeling gets stronger.

"So she's basically her own beacon" Damian suggests, Changling cocks her head to the side in confusion.

"Be-beacon?" Changling asks

"Umm...like GPS or something" Adapta briefly explains

"It seems to be the case" Hydro states coldly, again no pun intended. The teens walk in the direction the urge felt strongest, each one trying to contemplate what the powers of this person could be and how they can protect themselves from any attacks Damian however; continues to ask Adapta questions about her sexuality.

"So you don't even like guys a little?" he asks she sighs and rolls her eyes

"No Damian I don't like guys even a little" She answers

"Could I possibly change that?" He asks, Adapta scoffs and walks away

"I really hate you" She mutters to him he shrugs

"Why? I am a fucking delight" Damian boasts happily.

~~

"So you want to explain why you got mad at me and Trish yesterday?" Hydro asks Ignite telepathically, Ignite shakes her head, she looks up at him and sighs deeply.

"You told her information that you should have kept to yourself" Ignite replies the same way. He scoffs and turns his attention back to the pathway. There was more to it he could tell, the way she looked up almost immediately when they came into contact.

"Yo bro, tell me how those headphones work" Damian asks Hydro, it breaks Hydro's thought process.

"What do you mean?" Hydro asks they are headphones kind of a basic topic. Hydro isn't so sure there is much to talk about.

"They aren't plugged into anything and they don't seem to die since she has never had to plug them in to charge, so tell me how they work." Damian pries.

"Oh right, well they have pre-downloaded songs that she can plug into her computer to download songs, and they are powered by her powers, they send energy into them which keeps them working at all times." Hydro explains realizing how unique they are, to him it has always been basic knowledge.

"That is so sick" Damian states walking a little slower. The awkwardness grows stronger between Hydro and Ignite, he knows there is something she isn't saying and she knows that he shouldn't have told Trish anything about his real name. She has a bad feeling about it. Something isn't right about that girl and so far Ignite is the only one who see's it.
