The Gifted

The Hunt

"Now with no further a do, your orienteering quest starts now!" The man with the microphone shouted, as a huge cheer from the crowd surfaced, people jumping up and down, raring to get started, Kara wasn't a competitive person but with the looks on Diana and Natasha's face, she could tell they were so for her own sake, as well as Harleen's, she hoped they'd come out on top. "Follow the clues and the first team to find the treasure will win an almighty point, so get hunting!" He shouted and the teams started running like wild animals all in different directions, Diana grabbed onto everyone else in their team holding them back, from the running crowd of students that were way to excited for this glorified treasure hunt. 

"What the hell Diana!" Natasha shouted, shoving Diana away from her, as she watched the teams run into the sunset, swearing under her breath, Diana rolled her eyes pulling out the map she was given at the start, as the team leader, showing the way around the campus for people who weren't familiar with the set up of it yet. 

"Look!" Diana said pointing at a particular path on the map, as the other three women crowded around the map to see what she was pointing at. "If we take this short cut through the eastern strip of woods at the edge of the campus we should get to the first clue before everyone else" Diana explained, Natasha smiled maybe she was to quickly to judge the brunette. 

"Well what are we waiting for lets go!" Natasha shouted as she sprinted in the direction of the east wood followed closely by Diana and the Harleen and Kara a little further back, Kara didn't like sport and running was the devils work, why the hell did I sign up to this? she thought to herself as she could feel her stitch beginning to creep back to the surface, she winced.  "I see a light up ahead, that must be the first clue!" Kara could here Natasha shouting from in front of her, she powered on until she saw the light that Natasha was talking about, maybe she would have some time to recover while the deciphered the clue, with any luck it would be trickier than Lena's quantum equations that she was tackling earlier, it had gotten to the point that even the thought of Lena was enough to bring a smile to Kara's face, even with the one hell of a stitch she was developing. 

Finally they came to a stop in front of an ominous blue light that was trapped in between what looked like multiple sheets of carbon, or some kind of metal, it looked so futuristic like something out of Star Trek, thats how much of a geek Kara was, she saw bits of metal in a wood and immediately thought of Star Trek, not even Star Wars which was marginally less geeky, although not by much. Natasha and Diana were so close to the light that Kara could see the blue light reflecting off there faces as they inspected it, Harleen started creeping closer wanting to try and get a better look, Kara looked around there surroundings and was surprised when she couldn't hear or see any of the other teams, were they that far ahead? Natasha put her hand over the massive bit of rock that was wedged in between the metal, that was giving of the light, she tried frantically to lift it, but it was no good the rock wasn't budging. 

"Can I get some help please?" Natasha asked, Diana and Harleen quickly put there hands around the rock and pulled with all there strength but even then the rock wouldn't budge. 

"Guys I don't think this is the clue" Kara chipped in walking closer to the rock where the light was coming from, something about this didn't feel right. Natasha rolled her eyes, frustrated at the fact that the rock still wasn't budging, either they were all really weak, or that rock was incredibly heavy. 

"Kara can you come and help us try to lift this?" Diana asked wiping her brow, her face turning a light shade of red at how much effort she was putting in to try and shift the massive, light emitting rock. Kara sighed she walked over and gripped the rock with her hands, as soon as she did so there was a huge flash of light, bright enough to even light up the very depths of hell, with some sort of almost gravitational force, there was a massive burst of power that through the girls back, flying across the wood and hitting the floor with a loud bang, enough force to kill the average person, definitely enough to send the girls unconscious and unaware of what was happening as the light flowed around their broken bodies, healing the damage it had done, the average onlooker would just think that lightning was hitting the east side wood but something a lot more magical was at work here. 

Kara opened her eyes faster than a horse leaving the racing gate, as she gasped for air, she sat up, her head pounding, she covered her ears trying to stop the buzz that had taken over them, all of her senses felt heightened as she looked around the woods in the dark she could see perfectly, Kara could even swear she could see through things, she must have hit her head pretty hard, she moved onto her hands and knees, she had to find the others, they had to work out what the hell just happened?
