Powers and Phobias Series: Book One: The First Flight

Chapter Thirty Four: it's uh... on fire...

Robins point of view

2 hours later...

Jack was sitting at his computer, watching the news broadcast that held the last well known sitting of Time Taker...

"I can't find him it's like he's disappeared from the the earth", he said banging his against the desk.

"Or time...", Jem said holding the 'i'.

"Now that would be a story", I said with a chuckle.

"Soo... let me get this straight, the city's facing its most dangerous threat, and the city's most famous hero has gone awol", Max questioned confused.

"Superhero!", Jem exclaimed.

"What?", Max asked looking at Jem confused.

"You said hero... Time Taker is a superhero!", she said putting her finger in the air.

"What's the difference?", Max asked crossing his arms.

"There isn't one!", Jack said rolling his eyes.

"Yeess...., there is, a hero is a person who is admired for their courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities. Where as a superhero, is that but with cool powers...

...Completely different!" Jem said also crossing her arms.

"Yea.... totally...", Max said rolling his eyes, "anyway as I was saying, don't anyone else think that's odd?".

"Now that you mention in... no one has seen Time Taker since the power plant explosion,", I said.

"Sorry about that by the way", Max said lifting his hand up with a ashamed look on his face.

"Yiur forgiven... speaking off what was that for?", I say with a slight smile. He gives a slight smile back.

His smile drops as he answers, "I don't actually know... my father just sent me to meet Bates outside the power plant, so I did them we meet Barney inside... when I asked what we were doing there, Bates just said... 'we here to make a bang' or something like that...

... I mean I don't even know how they blew it up, I was just the look out making sure there was no one coming in".

"odd...", I said confused... like always lately... all of this was so confusing.

All of our attention is pulled to Jack, when he bangs his head on the table.

"Ughhh!!!!.... still no sign of where Time Taker could be... I mean I watched his finale sighting over 10 times now nothing...", he says lifting his head up and rubbing where he hit it.

There was a moment of silence, before Jem spoke up., "Wait, isn't that when they said Mr Thompson had gone missing?".

"yea it is..." Jack answered.

"Who?", Max asked looking confused.

"Our maths teacher before your father took his job", I say answering his question.

"Oooooh him, yea my father was happy when he found out he had gone missing, he immediately went to the college to try and get a job", said with a slight chuckle.

I was confused he didn't now he was... I though he would know, so I decided to ask him about it. "So you father had nothing to do with his disappearance... odd... I always assumed he did!".

He just shook his head, "not that I know off anyway".

"If Mr Morrison had nothing to do with Mr Thompson's disappearance then what happened to him?", Jem asked worried looking at all of us.

"Uh guys...", Jack said turning slightly but gaze never leaving the screen in front of him.

"What is it?", I say walking over to him.

"the police station...", he says pointing at the screen.

"What about it?", Jem says also making her way over to Jack.

"it's uh... on fire...", was all Jack could say.

Everyone except Jack, exclaims "WHAT!!", at the same time.

Here we go again...

Mr Morrison point of view

Before the fire

It's time to put this plan in motion.

"You know what you need to do?", I asked my fiery friend.

"I sure do", she responds before leaving the room.

"What's she going to do?", Fawkes asked no one in particular.

"Let's just say bugs aren't going to cut it as a distraction this time," I say with a grin.

Carlas Point of view

"hiya, serg", I say walking into my bosses office.

"What ya want Briggs?", he says not looking up from the papers he was reading on his desk.

"Just come to say hi... we've always had a spark...", I say walking over to the desk and sitting on the edge.

"Get back to work Briggs... you and West have work to do on those arson cases...", he says still not looking up.

"See serg, I've already solved those cases...", I say leaning towards him slightly.

"You know who did set fire to all those houses?", he says finally away from his desk and at me.

"yep!", I say leaning back away from him.

"then who did?", he asked with and eyebrow raised.

"...me", I say with a grin.

"what?... is this some sort of joke Briggs?", he said while looking scared, and gives off a nervous laugh.

"nope... I'm deadly serious...  or just deadly haven't decided yet...", I say with a laugh at my own joke.

"what are you doing?..." he says starting choke to on the smoke coming in from the other room... which I had set in fire before coming in here.

"Sending a message... it's also a distraction... but mainly the message...", I say walking over to him and sitting in his side of the desk as the room fills with smoke.

"message?...", he stops to cough... "message for who?", ends with a cough.

"P.H.O.B.I.A", I whisper into his ear... "toodles", I turn around to leave the room but I stop at the door as I hear the Serg trying to speak.

"Why are you..." cough, "doing this?", he struggles to say.

"because... your all corrupt... especially you... you don't care about solving cases...only gaining more power for you precious orginsation... more control over this city... but the only one person in this city who deserves to have control..." I say all this till facing the exit.

"who?", he asks followed by another coughing fit.

"Who da think?... The Controller..." I say finally turning around to face him...

... his head was on the table... and he had stopped coughing...

"opps... looks like he choked... ha... I gotta remember that one when she comes...", I say while sitting in the chair in the seat opposite him.
