Menace (Crown The Empire/Mutants FF)~On Hold~

Chapter 7: Progress

*Avyanna*

My arms healed, and we started training again. I controlled electricity now, but it took a lot of work to master it. I controlled my patience, but it was hard to control it when I was in a very bad mood. I take my time, and now I got mostly a good work-out. We were fighting the robot again. This time it was on the highest level of it to be.

"Brent look out!" I warned as I threw a rock spike at his arm. It tore off arm, and it looked at me with the red eyes. He chased me, and Brent protected me. Andy got us and we regroup at the edge. I thought to use my metal abilities, and took it to the max. I closed my eyes, and it took my self to hold it. I knew what I was doing since I connected myself to the ground. I threw the robot more like 20 yards away. I didn't want to abuse my power to much because then my head starts to hurt. We all looked at each other, and separated to different areas. I saw Austin reaching up to the arm to get the material that it had. He covered himself with Metal. It looked awesome.

The robot charged at me first and I panicked because it came at me fast. Hayden ran to me, and made me go through him. It was the worst feeling...ever. Hayden stayed by my side, but I pushed him away because I was going to do throw stuff at the robot. I brought of three giant boulders from the ground, and kicked them one by one at the robot. The robot dodged one, got hit by one, and caught the last one. He held it right in his face, so I made a spike to his face. It still didn't stop him though.
"I take care of it," Austin said, but he got wacked with the only hand that the robot had.
"Austin!" we all cried. Andy teleported him for to us, so Austin can have a WAY better fall.
"Hayden! Avyanna! Kill him now! Brent cover!" Andy said in anger. We nodded, so me and Hayden worked together.
"Bring him through!" I demanded. Hayden said grabbing him, and he pulled him to the ground. He stayed there confused while I made a tornado full of spikes. i threw the spikes at him, and the water was under ground. I got the water out, and it made this giant wave. Goodbye robot! It flushed away. I ran back to Austin with water in my control. I laid it all over Austin, and let it glow. I closed my eyes to heal him a lot better. I opened my eyed to see him all better again.
"Are you okay?" Andy asked. He nodded. The people came in, and helped Austin to get real medical attention.
"You guys did awesome," Logan compliment. I smiled at the great accomplishment that we did.
"You guys can go take a break," Storm said a cheeky smile. I left with me and Andy holding hands. He brought me into my room, and laid me down as we cuddled.
"How did you think we did?" I asked him.
"Pretty good, but I still think that Austin got hit pretty bad. I feel bad," he said with the disappointment tone in his voice.
"Yeah! Me too," I agreed. Brandon came in.
"Hey you two," he said sitting down on my bed.
"Hi Brandon," we both greeted.
"I heard what happened to Austin," he said bringing up the conversation we were bringing up earlier.
"Yeah. It was pretty bad," I answered.
"Yup. Do you guys want to go for a walk?" Brandon offered. I looked to Andy to see him nod, so I went with him.

We were just walking around to see a girl, and I guess she was a mutant. She saw me coming, so I gave a kind smile. 
"Hi, what are you guys doing?" I asked going down to her. 
"We were picking up dandelions. Here," she said handing me one. She looked like she was around 7 years old. I took the flower, and the pedals hid into the bulb. I looked confused until I found out that her ability is nature. 
"I love you ability," I said in a suprised tone. 
"Really?!" she asked with joy. 
"It's very beautiful. I am so jealous," I said in a girly way. Her giggle was so adorable. 
"Do you have a power?" she asked. 
"Yea...do you want to see it?" I asked, and she nodded. There was a fountain near by us, so I pointed at it for her to look at it. Drops of water started to float, and I made them into shapes. She giggled, and ran towards them. Cops came around us, and they saw the water floating. They crashed into the bushes, and they brought there gun out. They started firing, but I didn't let the bullets go. 
"Brandon, get her inside! Andy stay with me!" I growled as I saw pitch black. I broke out there guns, so they wouoldn't work anymore. I finally hear the door lock shut, and I felt Andy teleport me inside. I got to see colors again, and I saw the girl in tears. "Are you okay?" She shook her head. 
"I'm scared," she sobbed, and I gave her a hug for her not to be as scared. 
"It's okay! I'll protect you," I said letting her go to wipe the tears out of her face. 
"Avyanna, come over here," Brandon called. 
"I'll meet you at your room okay?" I asked, and she nodded as she went upstairs. We were watching the TV, and I saw people shooting other people. 
"The goverment now added a new law around here against mutants. Mutants are going to be extinct if they don't do something about it. Lifes are indanger now to the government, but everyone is seeming to be taking advantage. Mutants are dying quickly, so your move mutants," the reporter said. 
"What is he talking about?" I asked. Brandon and Andy just looked at me. 
"Do you want to know why the cop wanted to shoot the little girl?" Andy asked softly. 
"Yes," I answered. 
"The government set a new law against us. Anyone is allowed to kill us mutants without charges. It's just like we're not even human to them," Brandon answered softly too. 
"What can we do?" I asked. 
"We can make a war, or we can talk it out, but I don't think we'll get what we want without a war. We just can't put kids lives in danger just for a war," Andy answered. 
"We can train there abilities now for them to master them," I suggested. 
"But they're too young to know what's going on," Brandon pointed out. 
"They should be aware because what if they are injured and they don't know why. They are going to find out why sooner or later," I added. 
"Yeah, but this just has to wait. We just can't put kids in a way that they just know what started," Andy added to Brandon's. 
"How about the ones that are older than 16 are allowed to train for the, what is going to be soon, war?" I suggested. 
"It's not how easy to train a begginer though. Think of how we started. It's just going to take a long time," Brandon informed. 
"Fine. We'll wait to see what's next, but if they move that law to the next level. We are training those kids asap," I said going upstairs. I went into my room, and I heard screams from a girl in the hallway. I rushed into the room, and I saw guys going through the window. I punched the air, and it pushed them off the window. These little kids were crying, and I was trying to confort them as much as possible. 
"Avyanna!" Andy called. 
"I'm here in this room," I called. 
"What happened?" Andy asked. 
"An intruder came into the room," I answered. 
"Where did he go?" he asked. 
"I pushed him off the window," I answered, and he was gone by the next second. "It's okay! Lock your windows for now on! Don't open them at all," I answered, and I left the room.
"Avyanna, where is Andy?" Brandon asked.
"He is downstairs doing beating up a guy," I informed.
"Why?" he asked.
"Intruder. We should have a meeting," I said.
"For what?" he asked.
"The people are targeting this place," I answered.
"Okay. Everyone! We have a meeting downstairs! Get everyone else!" he shouted, and we saw all the kids.
"Where is Logan and Storm?" I asked.
"They are dealing things with the government," he answered, and I saw the kids following us.

We were down stairs, and Andy finally came inside with dirt.
"I finish giving what the guy deserved," Andy said brushing the dirt off his suit, and he finally started walking towards me and Brandon.
"Okay guys! Sorry to bring you guys out like this, but we just have to do something for now on. We're going to start gluing the windows shut for your guys' safety. We almost lost a couple of lives due to the government, and that's why we're trying to prevent you guys from actually losing a life. You guys are wonderful, and we'll be depressed for loosing you guys honestly. The mutant community rules might get stricter, just to let you know, but it's for the us to be safe from the government. If you don't like it, well, we didn't want you to like them. We just wanted to keep you safe, understood?" he asked. They all started whispering and nodding, and I can tell Brandon was reading minds.
"Guys, I know you're not happy with this, but we aren't either. A cop just ran over bushes just to kill a mutant in this school, and an intruder was deal by this guy," I said pointing at Andy.
"If you're planning to ran away, I recommend you not to Gilbert. You could die if you would show your power," Brandon snapped right after me.
"I wasn't planning to run away," he said nervously.
"Gilbert, I can read your mind. Don't think that I am here just to get mad at you guys.  Now you guys can go," he said turning around, and I just stared at Gilbert.
"Gilbert, can I have a chat with you?" I asked pointing outside. He nodded with smirk on his face. He followed me outside. "Why are you planning to run away?"
"The rules are unfair," he answered.
"Life isn't always fair, especially when it involves your safety. There is a lot of things you guys aren't aware of, and that's why we're putting these rules. Freedom is a war, but you can live without it. Logan and Storm went to fix something, and they are asking for our freedom. Just like they did with the slaves," I explained.
"So what you're saying we're not being treated equally?" he asked, and I gave a soft nod. I guess he understood.
"You just need to understand that it's not the greatest thing to run away. It's better here...You can go," I said letting him back inside. Teenagers. I stayed outside waiting for Logan and Storm.
