Human || Bucky Barnes

Chapter 1

"Everyone on the ground and no one gets hurt!! People behind the counter, to the front and on the ground!!" Everyone in the bank drops to the floor as the people working behind come forward. " We won't hesitate to shoot so no heroes!" One of the masked men calls out. "Start putting the vests on." He tells the other man behind him. "You." He points at the bank toll lady beside me. "You got access the the vault?" He asks. Nervously she nods her head yes. "Get up, take me to it and fill these bags with all the money." He demands, throwing the bags in front of her and pointing his machine gun at her. In front of me, holograms only I can see show up. I call 911 and make the holograms go away. The lady grabs the bags and shakily gets up. "Move it!" He yells. She jumps and starts walking to the vault. The other 2 men in here are putting bomb vests on people who are crying, but remaining clam for their safety. I need to do something. Slowly I stand up. I know it'll expose me and my powers, but if I don't do this, people will die. One of the men notices me getting up and points his gun at me. "Hey! Get on the ground!!" He yells. "I think I'm good. It's uncomfortable." I retort. The other people in here are looking at me. The man that was forcing the woman to the vault turns and points his gun at me as well. I have all their attention on me and not the civilians, and that's what I want. "We'll shoot!" The one near the vault threatens. The woman is standing behind him, terrified. "Oh please do." I say smugly.  All at once they shoot at me. I make a shield around me and all the bullets hit it then fall the the ground. "What the hell?" One of them questions. I smirk. I drop the shield, but my hands still have a ball of vibrant purple light glowing in each. I reach my hands forward and sling them to the side, causing their guns to fly out of their hands. The one behind the counter goes to shoot again so I turn my attention towards him and push my hand forward, making him fly back and hit the wall, knocking him unconscious. I then look back at the other two. I go into their mind and create a loud, high pitch ringing noise. They grab their heads in pain and fall to the ground screaming. I turn it up a few notches and start frying their brains. Not enough to kill them, but enough to make them fall unconscious. They stop screaming so I stop and look around. Everyone is staring at me. I can't tell if the look on their faces is fear, shock, or surprise. Probably all three. With a single thought, all the vests that were strapped to people fall off.  I then go over to the door and use my magic to unlock the chain from the door handles. The chain and lock fall to the ground loudly and I look back at everyone. "Is everyone okay?" I ask. Everyone kind of just nods. "Good." I hear the sirens in the distance. Using my mind, I wipe the security camera footage from after when I stood up. I open the door and go to leave, but someone speaks up. "Wait. Who are you?" It was the woman that was forced to go to the vault. I've never been asked that. I can't say my real name, but I don't have a fake one. Time to make one I guess. "You can call me mysteria." I tell her, then run out and away from the bank. I use my magic to lift me on top of a building and sit on the edge of the roof. I watch as people get taken out of the bank by police and news reporter are surrounding the scene. The officers then drag out 3 confused looking robbers who are only just waking up. I see different victims doing interviews so I tap into one of the microphones to hear what they're saying and the camera to see who it is that's talking. An image pops up in front of me of a news reporter with the woman who was being taken to the vault.

"I'm here with one of the hostages of a attempted bank robbery. Can you tell me what happened in there Sabrina?"

"These men came in and told everyone to get on the ground and that if anyone tried to stop them they'd shoot.I got forced to go to the vault but I never made it there because a woman stood up and challenged the robbers."

"What did she do?"

"They told her to get on the ground and she said she didn't like it down there, that it was too uncomfortable." She chuckles nervously. "They said they'd shoot, and she told them to. As they fired their guns, this purple light illuminated from her hands and this glassy, purple shield, came around her. The bullets just hit it and fell to the floor. No one knew what happened, not even the robbers. Then without going anywhere near them she threw one guy against a wall, and just stared at the other two. They grabbed their head and fell to the floor, they were screaming in pain. After that everyone's bomb jackets fell off, she unlocked the door without touching it and left."
