The commotion started. I don't know what to do in this kind of predicament. The lady in red stares with waring look. The janitor seems to approach but hesitated and rather chose to keep his distance from us. And one thing that caught my attention was the couple who took pictures of us. That was troublesome. I tried to lift him up but I lacked out of energy. Instead of helping us, people brought their phones out and keep on taking us pictures. Flashes everywhere.

My head ached and I felt like my mind was being electrocuted by a high voltage power. I panted, and the streaming of sweat on my face made ny sight blur.
I looked in every direction that my eyes could make. Intensive pang crawled through out my soaked wet body.
I didn't know that there was some kind of energy wanted to be released inside this tiny body of mine.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh
I shouted in despair for I couldn't hold the extremity of pain that travels in different parts of my body.

Glasses shattered to pieces. Soundless noise was being heard. I didn't know what just happened within the short period of time. I look at 009, he was still laying unconscious and I, still chasing my breath. And the people around. They were like mannequins--unable to move but still alive. Their hearts are beating actively how'd I know? I felt the circulation of human energy inside their bodies. I felt something was moving beside me. I looked at 009, he was blinking and finally opened his eyes. His jaw seemed to drop in a couple of seconds for what he saw.

What happened?, he calmly asked.

I don't know.

He inspected the frozen- like humans-- still holding their gadgets and still wearing their expressions. The whole place looks like that time has been stopped. Stopped by someone. He scanned the whole place meticulously and flicked his fingers. At first nothing happened. But in a few dancing seconds the shattered pieces of glasses floated and building itself again so did the other things that had been destroyed. He was repairing it in just a deep stare with full concentration. I was frozen in awe. His power was crazy as hell and better than mine. It only took less than an hour to completely recovered the whole place from destruction. But the people were still standing mannequins. 

009's was too tired, eyes bleeding and his breath racing.  While walking slowly towards me, he had fallen down in a slow motion but before his body meets the cold floor I supported his body with my hands to avoid his head from hitting the floor.

---------------------------------------------
Then I felt someone was poking my head, shaking it. As I gained consciousness, I saw him staring into my eyes. I tilted my head around to see where I was. I was still inside the store and everybody was doing fine as if nothing happened. I looked at him in a serious manner.

What the hell happened?

Forgot it already? I let you see glimpse of what will happen here. I spoiled you a little bit of the future. Wasn't it fun? , he replied with a grin forming in his face.

Shall we go now?

Yes. But where to? , I answered him without clearly thinking and followed him as we departed the store.

You'll know.

009's was freaking mysterious. His power, his personality and his sudden presence in my life.
Maybe it's the time for me to find out.
