Trix

Not again

CHAPTER 10.

"You let your emotions cloud your power, your fear made your power... afraid." Said Ogbuefi putting his arm on my shoulder.

"What does that even mean?" I asked totally lost.

"If your mind tells your body you're afraid, your powers too get the memo. Don't let your emotions control you, control them. Tell yourself you're the best, you can do anything. Or you could just become a citizen steel ripoff and pass out in two." the latter, he said with a humorous smile.

"Could you teach me?"

"Not really, we have a mission in two days time and there's a gonna be a briefing in bout" looking at his watch, "Damn! two minutes... I gotta go"

"Now, that's something. I think I gotta go too, TTYL." I said picking up my bag to scurry off.

"Ken, you can trust me. You know right?"

"Yeah I do trust you... And it's Trix now, not Ken." I replied happily.

"Bro, I need your help"

"What do you need me for?" Answered Danny, always ready to help me out.

"I need some help honing my ability"

"And you're coming to me for help?" He asked surprised.

"Yeah, my handler is busy,he's at a briefing for a mission"

"What mission?"

"This is top secret and I probably shouldn't tell anyone but, the DUA is gonna find out the leader of those bank robbers. And I want to be there... As trix of course. So, I need target practice... Maybe some thugs tonight. What do ya say?"

"You are very well aware that this is a bad idea" he said pretty concerned.

"You know me, I'm a sucker for bad ideas"

"Drix, can you hear me?" Asked Danny who was My overwatch right now, without all the tech.

"Yeah Danny, I can hear you, and you don't have to whisper -- and it's Trix, not drix" I answered, getting ready for my first vigilante mission.

"There's two thugs, just around the corner in that uncompleted building... Smoking. They shouldn't be a problem for the mighty Trix" he said the latter with an Air of confidence, bringing confidence to me too. I was bout to launch an unprovoked attack, I needed a lot of faith in myself now. I was ready. I got to the uncompleted building.

"Hey guys, I kinda lost my way and I'm hoping y'all could gimme directions" I said to the thugs.

One bolted from his seating position to my face in a matter of seconds. My intestine knotted itself. My heart forgot how to beat properly. All the pre built confidence escaped my poor body.

"Show us love." He said exposing an object that looked like a knife attached to his trousers.(This dude carried a knife all day?) The smell of ganja filled my nostrils. I summoned courage, stepped backward.

"I think we have a problem then" I said materializing a rod. Three others suddenly popped outta the shadows. (I thought this gee said they were just two) I couldn't  let my fear control me this time, I pulled myself together. Materialised another rod... Like night wing. I was ready. I rushed at the guy with the knife. Hit him across the stomach, the next across the arm. Put him down. The third, multiple hits. One tried to stab me, inna swish I materialised a shield. It took them aback. I stood impressed by my quick reflex. Wham!! A stick across my back. (Not cool man, not cool. Hitting a guy in the middle of his awesomeness. So not cool) I fell to the ground, no pain... Next was a solid kick to my ribs then, continuous beatings came on. I didn't know what else to do... Pulled everything I had and materialised a body fit shield like citizen steel... Dudes got scared and scampered.

"YOU'D BETTER RUN!" I shouted after them. I felt so cool. With a full metal armour and all that. Danny had to see this. I came out of the building and started feeling light headed. I was not sure I could continue moving. "Danny... Call the DUA". Cue the dark edges. I passed out.
