I stroll down Lake Shore Drive, looking at Lake Michigan, watching the cars and bikes zoom passed me. I ran into a woman, she didn't seem happy about that. The woman yelled at me.
"Hey," she yelled, her voice was loud, and she seemed to be African. "Why you be running into me, can't you see I got enough to carry in my hands? Little girl you be blessed that you didn't make me drop anything. Oh, you be careful next time!" She really made me frightened, I hate being yelled at, especially by people I don't know.
I hear, "Look out!" A male voice, I didn't know what to do. I flashed my hands and pushed the woman again, this time moving her out of the biker's way, save her from collision. I then scurried around to catch all the items she was hold and set them next to her.
Time was frozen, I watched as the light glared off of cars, the clouds misting over the Sears Tower, and a couple fireworks shooting off from U.S. Cellular Field, which I could see, I was almost to the South Side of Chicago.
I unfroze time after I crossed the busy street. I went up to a Mustang that was parked in a lot, pressed my hands against it, and unlocked the door. I stepped inside, hot-wired the Ford, and pulled out fake keys from my pocket. I roared the engine, backed up the car, and drifted onto I-294.
I drove into the parking lot for U.S. Cellular, hid my car, and snuck into the stadium. I stole a Chicago Style Hotdog, a large root beer, and some curly fries. I sat in the bleachers, just in time to find a baseball come hurling towards my face. Naturally, the ball would have hit me, making me spill everything, but instead some flashed past me, skidding on top of the McDonald's scoreboard, and hopping off to the streets below. I fleet something in my pocket. I pulled it out. It was the baseball, and a slip of paper attached on it.
Join the A.E.R.Z., we are a group just like you. Be one with your powers, we know how to control and use them. We are on the 107 story of the Black Pillar. If you are brave, come fly with us.
I was shocked, how did this guy know I was special? Why choose me, I am a loser. Plus, I could have caught that ball by freezing time. Well, there is other powers I am not good at, so I guess they could help me. The Black Pillar, eh? I think I know where that is. But why floor 107? Who are the A.E.R.Z?
