Denise's POV

Bullets then shot up toward Gregory. The loud sounds of rifles firing hurt my ears. Lanie then pulled me in with Louise and Eleven, sheilding us from the bullet shells and energy blasts.

After a few seconds of continuous firing, they stopped. Gregory was still floating above, unscathed and fine. He had energy absorption, those bullets may have instead given him more power.

He lowered himself down slightly, but still floated high above.

"You fools. Violent, crooked men," he shouted, with his voice distorted and deep.

"Don't you see not everything can be solved with bullets?", he said.

Out of the corner of my eye, I spotted Sabrina and Harry running towards us.

The Director turned to me, his mouth dropped and clearly in shock.

"Sir, please, trust me on this. Back the troops away, they aren't going to be of any help in this fight," I told him.

The Director nodded and shouted orders into his walkie talkie. Wow, I just gave my boss orders.

"Let's go," Lanie shouted at us.

Eleven got in the middle of the circle. I took Sabrina's and Louise's hand. I closed my eyes and felt my powers flow through me.

Eleven's POV

I felt the power flow through my arms as I was lifted up into the sky. Soon I was at eye level with Gregory.

"Hello Jane," he said, his voice deep and distorted.

"Hello Gregory," I said as I felt the energy and heat in my arms.

"Why are you here?", he asked.

"I'm here to stop you. Killing Dr Schneider will not bring you peace," I told him.

"Oh, I'm not just here for Dr Schneider. I'm here for the whole team."

"Don't do this Gregory. If you stop now, we can help you."

"So you brought the whole CIA here?"

"We did not bring them here. Believe me," I said.

"Oh I believe you. I can read your mind," he said.

"Now let me through," he said firmly.

"No," I told him.

"Very well then," he said.

He stretched his arms up. A second later, I saw an energy blast coming toward me. Using Lanie's powers, I blocked it. I blasted him back. He caught it with his hand, taking it in.

He has energy manipulation and absorption, I told myself.

I felt another surge of energy flow through my arms again.

"You are going to have to do more than that," he taunted.

I was getting mad and irritated, or maybe that was just the power I felt flowing through me. I felt the energy gather in my hands and I shot it towards him. This energy blast was a lot stronger than the first. This time, I saw him move back slightly from the energy. He shouted in frustration as he couldn't cope with the strength of it. That gave me a little surge of hope.

Then, after that blast, he shot back at me. This time, it was a continuous blast of energy. I blocked it, but after a few seconds, he had not let down. I decided to fight back. I used the energy and pushed back. I projected energy back in his direction, pushing as much as I could. I watched as my blast pushed back, but reached the middle of us, not progressing forward. I tried pushing more, but he wasn't budging. Just then, I felt the smallest trickle of blood roll down from my nostril.
