Power Off

Chapter Four

When I finally came to, I found myself lying on the pavement of where I blacked out at. There was a person behind me, presumably the guy who caused had hit me and the invisibility guy, as I didn't see him earlier. I quickly took out some handcuffs to tie him down before he came to and disappeared and then dragged him over to the main crime scene. The other villain was also knocked out on the floor, which I also handcuffed together with the other guy to a pipe in case invisibility transferred. Good thing I also brought my electricity shield as James was still cocooned in a blue energy force field. Then, I found another body lying about 5 feet away from him. It turned out Blue arrived right on time to take in my electricity shock as well. There was a faint, fragmented blue shield on him probably destroyed because of the distance and timing of his arrival, not allowing the shield enough time to generate a strong force field. I started to flip him around so that I could check for injuries when suddenly, I felt a sensation go through my body and through my hands. I saw a slight glow slowly tracing the sensation towards Blue. I was entranced by the glow before I recoiled, thinking it was the energy manipulation,when the Blue started to stir.

"K-Keep going... t-that's a h-healing s-sensation you are f-feeling."

"O-Okay..." I said as I quickly pressed my hand back to the wounds until the sensation disappeared, feeling drained.

Opening his eyes, Blue looked a bit dazed until he could take in and collect his thoughts.

"Man, I came in at the wrong time didn't I?"

"Ahaha yeah, I think the invisible guy knocked me on the back of my head, making me lose control of the electricity I was charging. Good thing I had just finished working on this electricity shield, so the civilian was protected, but with your timing, the shield wasn't able to fully protect you in time. I should probably upgrade it's shield generation speed..."

"Wow, you made that by yourself? That's pretty amazing. Plus, your electricity is really strong at your current level. I don't think my brother's compares to it quite yet, and he's already been in the game for a good five years, but his control, regardless of injury or shock, is much better than yours. Though I'm su-"

"Ehem. Uh... Hi." James said awkwardly. "I'd hate to ruin the moment, but I've got to go..."

"Uh.. yeah, do you need to be escorted?" I asked.

"No, I'm fine, I can just call one of my father's assistants to come pick me up."

"Oh wait, what exactly happened here?" Blue questioned quickly.

"I don't know. I was just taking my nightly jog when those two guys jumped out of nowhere and started a fight with me."

"You don't know any of the two guys here?" Blue continued

"No, this is my first time ever seeing them. I don't know why they would pick a fight with me. Plu- Oh, my ride's here, thanks for the help." James responded, quickly jumping into the car before we had the chance to ask him anymore questions.

"Hm. I know him in my other life, and I think he knows more about Power Off than it seems in those responses, I wonder what he's trying to hide..." I revealed.

"I think we need to find someone to monitor him. This is the second incident involving that boy and Power Off. With him being the mayor's son, he may be a bigger target for Power Off than any other citizen in this city. I'm gonna asked my dad to see what we can do in this situation."

Before Blue finished what he was saying, I had already starting blacking out from the fatigue of taking on a decently big healing job for the first time.

"Whoa Sparky, you must have just got your healing, here, chew this."

I felt something enter my mouth as my mouth followed her order. It felt like a shot of caffeine to the brain.
