Powers and Phobias Series: Book One: The First Flight

Chapter Thirty Five: Sounds like a plan...

Robins point of view

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

"it's on fire", Jack repeats.

I sigh "I'm really starting to hate fire!".

"tell me about it...", Jacks says rolling his eyes.

"What's that supposed to mean?", I ask confused.

"nothing..." he says with a smirk.

Jem point at the screen, "is it me or she seems to have all the breaking news stories..." she asks.

"Destiny Mcquirk here at the police station, where firefighters are currently trying to put out a fire. The building is still standing but there doesn't seem to be any survivors yet..." the news reporter states.

"didn't you say that your father had a friend in the police force..." Jack says slowly tuning his head to look at Max.

But he doesn't answer and is still staring at the screen.

"Max?", I say trying to get his attention.

He didn't acknowledge us, just keeps staring silently at the screen. Enroll he mumbles something... "he... I didn't think he'd kill anyone...".

"Max it's ok...", I say putting my hand on his shoulder, "we'll stop him...", I give him a smile at the end.

"we better..." he says looking up at me, I move my hand, "... forget finding Time Tracker...", he says as he moves to the middle of the room.

"Time Taker..." Jem corrects him.

"whatever... forget finding him... we going to stop my father...", he says stomping his foot at the end to make his point.

I walk over to him and put my hand out int front of me "together", I say with a smile.

Jack walks over to us and puts his hand on top of mine, "together", he says as well.

Jem joins us and does the same... putting her hand on top of Jacks and smiles "together" she says with a nod.

Max looks at all of us... a smile growing in his face... he puts his hand on top of Jems and looks at me and says "together... or not at all". And with that we break our circle. This might be the cheesiest moment of my life.

After a bit of silence, "so.... where do we start?" I ask to no one in particular... why is starting always the hardest part...

Jem walks over to the desk and grabs something and throws it at me "with this...", she says with a smile.

I catch it, to see my make in my hands. I look up to see Jem putting on her own mask. "Zone reporting for duty...", she says with a giggle.

"Techno online...", I look over to Jack to see him putting his own mask on.

I then see Max, with his mask on his face "Judgement ready to serve".

I look back down at my own mask... it's now or never... with that I put on my own mask... "Flight Attendant ready for the first flight..." I say with a smile and posing like a superhero.

Then there's a moment of silence...

Intoll it's broken with Jacks laugh, "that was cool and all but we actually need a plan before we do anything".

"annnd you ruined the moment" Jem said with a pout.

"Jacks right..." I say with a slight laugh, "we need a plan...".

Max laughs, "Jem was also right... he did ruin the moment", he said with a smirk.

"not the point...," I say gesturing my hand towards him... "we need to focus on making a plan... any ideas?" I ask, everyone just shrugs and looks away.

There had to be about 5 minutes of no one saying anything... before it's once again broken by Jack.

"OH COME ON...", he yells but not in a mean way.

Jem, looks at the screen that was still playing the news... lit looks like the firefighters left the scene", she said with a frown at the end.

"no suviours..." Jack says walking over to his usual seat with a sad sigh.

I look around at everyone... we need to do something... now..., "screw a plan... I'm going down to the scene and seeing what I find... Jem can consult me over the comms on what to look out for... Max can you come with me and be look out and warn me if anyone tries to enter the building..." I say gesturing as I spoke.

"Sure!", both Max and Jem say.

"Ro...", Jack said laughing.

"Yea?", I say crossing my arms.

He smiles and says "Sounds like a plan..."

I guess I did just make a plan... I uncross my arms.

"shut up...", I say annoyed... but not really as I feel a smirk on my face.

"just saying", he says with a shrug.

"Uhhh Jem?", I say with a nervous smile.

"What?.... wait... no... not gonna happen..." he she says crossing her arms. "I'm not coming with you... you said yourself I can consult you over the comms on what evidence to look out for.

"Put come on wouldn't it be better if you could see the scene", I plead.

"Actually she still can see the scene... there's cameras in the masks..." Jack says from his desk chair. Showing us the computer which had a video feed on it of what I was seeing.

"See... no need to be there", Jem said smiling.

"Thanks Jack", I said glaring at Jack, who was smiling.

"Don't mention it Ro...", he said turning his chair back to face the screen.

"Ok, you dont have to come, can you at least create a portal for us to step though", I ask her writhing puppy eyes.

"Fiiine", she says as she puts her hands out in front of her... the blue lights starts to appear and later a portal.

I jump though the portal...
