Rogue

Chapter 17

Six days had passed since the bombing incident at the lake... Tris and Andy had just told the rest of their team what had happened that night. The team was all scattered across HQ, attempting to dig out more info on Jake and his abilities.

"Anything?.." Pink shook her head and began pouring over a copy of EDG's file on Jake for the 17th time. Across the table from her, Icy was telling Janae and Tessa about all the things she had uncovered on Jake over the months she was tasked with his case.

"There's nothing in here Tris..."

Danica sighed... "Just... Check it one more time, will ya'? We might've missed something." Pink shook her head and got back to work.

"We know he has mental manipulation abilities..." Icy said from across the table, "Could telepathy be something else he uses...?"

Tessa shook her head and frowned at Andy's laptop screen. "Maybe... but from what Andy pulled up on past EDG criminals... Jake wasn't the only mental manipulator."

"He was just the strongest." Janae added. "And most of those criminals had more than just 1 ability. Most being mind control and teleportation..."

"And both of those have been used by Jake.." Icy concluded. "That's how he had Tris brainwashed and under his control."

Janae nodded, tapping her pencil against the side of the table. "Since Tris was able to slip out of his control... Jake's mind control powers might be harder to control~or weaker than his other ones." She sighed and began reading through the files of past EDG criminals with Jake's powers, in hope to find a pattern, or some possible weaknesses.

While most of TRF worked on finding info, Andrew and Alpha worked in the downstairs workshop,

"No~Andy,, that connect's up there." Alpha pointed at a little opening on the device they were building.

Andrew obeyed. "Ok,.. what else?"

"That should be it..." The two boys leaned closer towards their little creation.

"Does it work...?" Alpha shrugged.

"Only one way to find out..." Alpha picked the little bracelet shaped device up, and slid it around his wrist. He took a deep breath, and snapped the device shut, sealing it to his skin... the device glowed bright blue and-

He screamed.

"SHIT SHIT SHIT." Andy quickly snatched a screw driver off the table, and grabbed onto the device- but as soon as his skin touched the smooth metal surface of the device, Andy leaped back with a yelp.

"IT FUCKING SHOCKED ME~"

"Y-you s-said" He yelled out in pain "it w-was a power d-dampener!" Alpha gasped out between screams.

"I THOUGHT IT WAS!" Slipping into a slight panic,, Andrew turned to the device blueprints and scanned them, looking for instructions on how to fix the device.

At that moment, Messi came down the stairway and entered the workshop.

"What the hell are y'all doing..?"

"G-get this t-thing off m-m-me!" Alpha screamed out.

"MESSI HELP HIM." Andy ran through the armory and darted up the steps into the main Hq..

As soon as Andy was out of sight, Messi snatched a random gun off a shelf in the armory, and aimed it at the device.

"W-WAAAAAAIT! I AM NOT D-DYING."

"You want to get out don't you? Well i'll get you out!~"

"MESSI NOOO." Payton's voice sounded through the room, and within an heartbeat, a beam of ice knocked the gun right from Messi's hands.
