Helix Operatives: Creation

Twelve Hours Later: Theon

It was dark as Theon was waiting outside of Char's apartment complex in his truck. They had gotten out of the clinic a few hours ago and were getting their possessions to move to the isolated area. Theon was waiting to drive her to the area that he had thought of. The truck was parked out back and already had all of Char's things except for 'one more thing' that she rushed back into the building to get.

As he sat in the truck he listened to the radio, tapping the rhythm on the steering wheel. The music compelling him to. His mind wandered as his hands moved on the wheel. What is she getting and why is she taking so long... thought Theon as he listened to the song, his thought filling in the lyrics. I dance the night away, the rhythm carrying me home. The world keeps turning and I keep burning the stage...

"As more officials investigate the situation we will bring you updates on the recent event," interupted a voice on the radio. "It is known that the site of impact is Gingdale in the United Republic section. Due to the high bio hazard levels there, officials report that all living creatures are to keep out of a fifty-mile radius of the town while teams investigate. While many buildings have been damaged it does seem that weather patterns have been altered due to an unusual blizzard in Sindel City. However, due to a lack of other unnatural weather phenomena, many expects are in debate over this. Now for a word from Emperor Quenbeclar Zenchardo..."

The passenger side door opened up and Char got in along with a medium sized cardboard box with her. "Hey, last thing I swear," said Char. She was wearing a pink tee-shirt, a pair of grey sweat pants, and a pair of white sneakers. She saw Theon tapping on the steering wheel with his eyes closed and his head moving to the song in his head. "Hey, Theon," said Char as she tapped him on the shoulder.

"Hun? Oh hey," said Theon as he snapped back to reality.

"Rocking out to the news bulletin?" Inquired Char as she closed the door behind her.

"N-No,  the song before it and... It was Quiara Pirera!"

"Wait, was it her new one?"

"Yeah... So what did you have to grab?"

"Um... Promise not to judge me too much?"

"Depends."

"Fine... Comic books and video games."

"Comics... Really?"

"What, I'm a nerd. Sue me."

"Whatever... Let's get something to eat through the drive through and take it to the place."

"You still haven't told me where this place is."

"It's in the city."

"In the city?! I thought that you said you were isolating us!"

"I am. You'll see when we get there."

"You're terrible with surprises."

"I know. So, what do you want for food?"

"I don't know... Let's just get some burgers and fries from the place down the road from here and go."

"Fine with me... Hey Theon..."

"Yeah?"

"Since we got powers and stuff and you know how the Sinderlos act towards us an all I was just thinking... What if we proved to them that we're better than they think?"
