House Hunting

We get off the mountain range and onto a single track road, as we are walking down we exchange stories of our child hoods, how I can swim and he cant, how I triggered my abilities in the first place, and how I want to discover my past, but can't. 

We slowly find some large gated houses, most houses are destroyed, but luckily, with the mountain rage so dense this house must have been protected. I open the gates with a flick of my wrist and we slowly enter.

'We need to be cautious, there could be hostiles here' I whisper to him as we walk on the brick path. I knock at the door, and use my werewolf to see if there are any heat signatures in the house. Even with my vamp hearing and smell, there is nothing coming from the house. I open the door and step inside. I cause a wave of wind to wrap around the house- to jolt any booby traps but there aren't any. 'The house is clear, we can move freely' I say nodding to Bellamy.

We head in two separate directions, I go through the kitchen, whilst Bellamy heads off to the Living room. Discovering that the house is open plan we meet behind the wall where the stairs are. Finding nothing interesting, I walk up the stairs, and see some nicely decorated bedrooms, with at least three bathrooms upstairs. The entire place is beautiful, as if someone had just left.

Bellamy calls me through to one of the bedrooms as he discovers, whilst looking out the window a large conservatory. We head downtairs and through the overgrown garden to discover the large conservatory. Many windows are broken, but looking inside, we discover a giant swimming pool, green and sickly looking. We turn back around, after explaining much to Bellamy about living in an actual house and what not.

Under the stairs there is a door, that we chose to leave to last to check. I use my senses and smell motor oil from behind the door. I boot it in, and notice a long set of stairs to another door. We both walk down, the light from the front door lighting our descent. I open the last door, to darkness. 'Lux' I whisper as the lights all turn on, row by row to reveal a massive underground car park. The amount of classic, vintage and newer cars, I smile widely and run out in excitement. This feels normal, this is a beautiful collection of cars similar to my dad's back in the day.

'Camaro, Chevy's, oh my god this is a dream' I squeal as I open the door to a yellow Camaro with Black stripes, the car smells brand new! I use the radio to signal my Dad and the drop ship.

'Spectrum calling Home ship, Spectrum calling Home ship, over' I call out

'This is Home ship, how are you getting on over? Tony asks.

'We are doing amazing Dad! We found an  in tact house with the best underground car park - that might even beat your old collection. Im gonna send the co-ords, come and meet us down here.' I announce over the radio. 

'That's amazing news, will meet you shortly' Tony says.

We head back up, and I step into the back garden. I place my hand on the Earth and cause the over grown grass to disappear, leaving only a level, green space. I raise my hand to the conservatory, repairing the glass. I walk inside and place a hand in the water 'aqua munda converte temporis' as I say it, the swimming pool water becomes instantly clean and clear, the moss covered tiles are no more and the swimming pool area becomes as good as new, I cause another breeze to clear through the house, to remove any lingering energies that are bad, or old. 

As we are heading inside, Tony flies down in his suit, showing off a little, and makes it turn into a bracelet. As I walk up to him, I excitedly tell him about the pool, and the house and the cars all over again. We take him down to the collection and he is stunned. I walk to the other end and press the button, to release the door. Realizing the battery would have died I wave my hand and the door opens revealing the driveway.

The natural light floods the floor and I quickly hop into the Camaro from earlier. I put my hand on the front of the car, regenerating the oil, that will have spoiled at this point. I jump in the front seat and grab the key from the visor. The moment of truth. 

I put the key in the ignition and she roars the first time! 

I squeal with excitement, having not driven a car like this in a while. I slide down my window and shout to Bellamy 'Last one home has to cook dinner?' He quickly jumps in the seat next to me as I laugh to my dad jumping into a car. I flick my hand over to his car, and cause the car to regenerate the oil and work first time. He looks over and nods. 

We rev our engines and I scream 'Go' we both, put our feet to the floor and fly out of the garage, we drive through the gate and up the road. I use my powers to carve us a road home, wide enough for our two cars, we are neck and neck, almost until I pull out a wild card and drive off road. Bellamy is gripping the seat, as I am driving over the side of a mountain. 

The road meets us together, just before I beat dad home. My car slides to a hault first. Both Bellamy and I race inside, a little out of breath, before dad comes in. 

'You cheated' he says with a fake pout. 'You are the king of cheaters and making new rules, I guess the student has become the master no?' We both laugh until we both catch sight of Pepper. 

'Sorry Mom' I mutter.

'Sorry Pep' Tony mutters.

'Nice cars guys' Nat comes through saying.

'We found an amazing house down the road, who wants to lock it down, or even create a home base there? Multiple cars and at least six king size bedrooms. The house isn't too far from the drop ship, If you want I can help move the ship to the house's back garden?'' I announce. 

As a group decision, we vote, and it is agreed. Everyone stays on the drop ship as I levitate it to the new location, along with the new cars. I fly up and direct the ship. We fly over head of the delinquent camp, catching their attention. I make note to check in with them later.

Once we have landed, the ships door opens, letting everyone come out and explore the surroundings. I fly up, and rearrange the trees to circle the house, I fence us in and create a powerful barrier of protection. 

I fly down to Bellamy, I think we should go back to camp and check in with everyone. 

'Good Idea' He remarks. 

Bruce comes out of the ship and grabs me before I run off. 'I have designed a few things to look at including the prototype off road, exploring vehicle and they are ready whenever you want them' 

'Thanks Bruce, send them to my iPad, and I will take a look over them once I get to the drop ship.' I say to him as I run with Bellamy to the side of the trees.
