DJ Stewart

Part 2

The man in the gray walked over to us and sat down on the bench next to us.
"There are more people like you." He said.
"What do you mean 'like me'? They can run fast to?" I asked him excited.
"Well no, but they have powers like you."
I was in shock. There were more people with powers? I had thought I was the only one. Hundreds of questions raced each other around my mind, circling around each other. I wanted to ask them all, but I could seem to talk. More people like me. I couldn't help but have a bad feeling about this guy though.
"I have a special facility for people with powers to learn to control them. I want you to come out their and learn with them." He said.
There was something about all this that didn't seem right. How did he know that I had super speed? Or that there were others with powers too?
"Thanks for the offer sir, but I'm gonna have to turn you down." I said, trying to sound respectful.
"Ok. Well, I'll see you around then." He said rather bitterly.

The next day I went to school still thinking about what happened the day before. I opened my locker and a note fell out with a simple sentence. A sentence that made fear rise up in my body. I saw what you did. That simple sentence could mean that someone saw me use my speed. Who had put the letter there, what exactly did they think, so many things could go wrong now that a mystery person knew. I went the rest of that day silently panicking in every class. At the end of the day I opened. My locker again and a second note fell out. Behind chucks diner. I assumed that was the place this person wanted to meet.

After I finished all my homework, I sped off to chuck's diner and around back was someone I knew. His name was Myles, he was African American, tall, and muscular.
"Hey DJ" he said casually.
"Myles? Your the one who saw me use my speed?" I asked.
"Yeah, but don't worry, I'm not telling anyone." He said looking at the look on my face.
"I have a power too" he said.
"Wa- what?" I asked surprised.
Just like that guy had said, more people had powers.
"What can you do?" I asked. I was curious to see this. Myles was a nice guy and someone who I couldn't see to stand out.
"I have super strength" He said with a smile on his face.
"Really? Prove it" I said. I didn't believe him. This was the guy everyone, even me, had beat in a arm wrestle, but to my shock, he lifted both dumpsters with one hand each. I looked at him in shock. He always looked muscular but he lost every arm wrestle he had ever done.
"Belive me now?" He asked as he put the dumpsters down.
"Yeah" I said still trying to process every thing.
"I know some other people with powers," he said.
"Wait really?" I asked even more surprised.
"Yeah, follow me" he said walking towards the front.
We walked towards a booth near the back with three other people sitting around it.
"Hey guys, this is DJ" Myles said addressing the group.
"Hi, I'm Emily" said a girl with red hair nearest to the edge.
"I'm Mustafa" said a short Egyptian boy sitting on the in side of the booth.
"Hey, I'm Nick" said a boy on the opposite side of the booth.
"Hi" I said awkwardly. I'm not very good with new people, I always get really shy and I don't know what to say.
"So, what are your guys powers?" I said quietly so that no one would hear.
"Well we can't show you here" Emily said. We went to an open field with nothing around so that we weren't seen by anyone.
"Ok" I said, "so, whis going first"
"I will" said Emily. She raised her hands to the sky and shot flames into the air.
"Whoa." I said taking a few steps back in case she burst into flames (she didn't). Mustafa went next. He pointed his hands to the ground and started to freeze to ground around him and slipped. After laughing a little bit, Nick stepped up and at first I didn't see anything different, then he raised his hands. His hands were swords.
"Dude, that is awsome" I said impressed because I had obviously never seen anyone turn their hands into swords.
"Alright, your turn" Nick said looking at me.
"Ok" I said stepping into the middle. I ran in circles around them showing them how fast I could go.
"That's pretty good, how long have you known about your powers?" Myles asked.
"Well, ever since I was 7 years old, I just kinda, ran super fast one day" I said.
"Well, that's all I had in mind for this meeting," Myles said.
After that we all whent into the pizza dinner and ate. Then I whent home.
Before I even unlocked the door I knew something was wrong. Like, I could feel it. I rushed into the house, seeing everything was a mess, it looked like someone had ransacked the house. Grandma, was the first thought that crossed my mind after that. I ran through the house looking frantically for my grandparents but found nothing. Then I saw it. A little white envelope on the coffee table in the living room. I grabbed it, inside was a map with a facility circled in red marker. If you want her, come and get her.
