Powers and Phobias Series: Book One: The First Flight

Chapter Thirty Eight: well that's new...

Robins point of view

I jump through the portal and yell back through it, "thanks Jem!".

"You know you can fly right...", Jem shouts back, as Max follows through the portal.

"yea I know... but Max can't...", I answer with a smirk as we continue to talk through the still open portal.

"Whatever...", she says with a painful expression on her face.

I notice the odd expression on her face and start to worry, "sorry Jem I know you don't like it".

She puts on a smile "it's fine Ro... what's ever necessary right now... Right!".

"Right!", I answer with a nod and my own slight smile.

Her pained expression returns, "I'm... I need to go now... this is really starting to hurt now...".

I step back slightly from the portal, "oh ok... WAIT..." I realise what she said as the portal closes, "what do you mean hurt?".

Max gestures to the comms on his mask.

"oh yea", I turn my comms on, "what do you mean hurt?", I ask again.

"forget it... not important right now... go to the police station", she says with a shaky voice.

"Jem...", I beg her to answer my question.

"police station now!", she yells.

"fine...", I say stomping and my making my over to the police station and Max follows behind.

We reach the police station and there was no one there... like no one... at all.

"I'll stand guard and send you a message if anyone's coming...", Max says looking around the area.

"ok...", I say doing the same.

Max notices that something was bothering me "what's wrong?".

"I thought this would be harder... where is everyone?", I say gesturing to the empty streets.

"Well the news said the firefighters left...", Max says with a shrug.

"Yea... but I mean there's no bystanders no news broadcasters... I mean it's empty here..." I say gesturing more frantically.

"your complaining why?", he asks with a laugh.

"I don't know... something doesn't feel right...", I say looking once again at the empty streets.

Max chuckles and grabs my attention, "well go in there and see what happened...", he says pointing at the door for the police station.

"yea... ok...", I say making my way into the building.

I walk in and see the building burnt and crumbling slightly... well everything seemed to have been burned.

I slowly make my way through the police station, I decide to head for the sergeants office as it seemed to be the least damage area.

I walk in and see a woman sitting at the desk with her legs on it as she leaned in the chair. The woman had short red hair and was wearing a hoodie similar to my own.

"Hiya birdie..." she's says standing up from the chair and walking over to the person in the other side of the desk... the person I just noticed was there... is that the sergeant?

She must have seen me staring, "Him? Looked like he choked...", she says with an evil laugh.

I give a small chuckle, "you? rehearsed that didn't you?", shifting to looking at her.
