Powers and Phobias Series: Book One: The First Flight

Chapter Forty One: Ali? Did you say ALI?

Jems point of view

"police station now!", I yell through the comms.

"fine...", she says as I see her walking to the police station, just before the camera goes out.

"Ro?" I say to see if she's still there. I look over at Jack confused and concerned.

"Ro... your cameras out" he says into his own comms.

I carry on yelling into mine, "Ro! Ro! Ro! RO! MAX?" I look back at Jack, "Max's cameras gone out to.."

He puts his hands on my shoulder "Jem, it's ok... it's probably just a bad", he says sounding like he's trying to convince himself more than me.

Then we both here a sound coming from the house.

"What was that?" I ask looking in the direction of the house.

Getting up from his chair Jack starts making his way towards the door of the Treehouse, "I'll go check... you keep an eye on the screen see if Ro's or Max's cameras come back on".

"fine just be careful..."

"don't worry I'm always careful... plus I have date after all this don't want to risk missing that...", he says picking up his Night Night gun from the table and walks out of the Treehouse.

"Just be carful ok... you want be having a date if your dead...", I shout.

Jacks point of view

"Just be carful ok... you want be having a date if your dead...", I hear Jem about, causing me to laugh.

I enter my house, and I can hear talking from inside the living room. I slowly enter the room and point my stun gun at the person picking something up from the floor.

A woman with black hair and round glasses much like mine was in my living room picking up pieces of what look like a broken vase.

She drops the pieces when she sees me.

"Uh... who are you and what are you doing in my house?", I say still pointing the gun at her.

"Jackie... I know this might be hard to understand...", she says as she starts walking closer to me.

She stops when she notices the gun.

"how do you know you my name?", I ask her.

"Jackie... Put that down", she says pointing at the gun.

"stop calling me Jackie... who are you? What are you doing in my house", I say again slightly yelling.

She walks over to me and touches my shoulder, with that our surroundings disappear into black, "let me explain".

In my surprise I drop my gun "what happened where are we?"

"that a long story I just need you to listen to me...", she says with a small laugh. A laugh that sounds familiar.

I quickly pick my gun back up and point back at the stranger in front of me, "take us back to my house, before I do something we both won't like..." talking a step towards her.

She just laughs, "oh please... we both now that's a Sandman Gun! The worst it can do is make me take a nap... then you'll be stuck here".

"what's a sandman gun?" I ask confused.

"the stun gun in your hand...", she says gesturing at my hand.

Defeatly I put the gun in my jacket pocket, "it's called a Night Night Pistol" I say with a sigh.

"oh that's cute!... did your girlfriend Come up with that?", she says with a smirk.

"I don't have a girlfriend... and you never answered any of my questions? Who are you?" I say frustrated.

"oh I always thought Jem was your girlfriend my mistake!", she says her smirk growing wider if possible.

How does she know Jems name?, "name! Now!", I yell.

Her smirk drops as she takes on a more serious tone. "my name is Agent Paige Ali... I work for P.O.W.E.R. an orginsation created by Spencer and Linda Ali..."

"Ali? Did you say ALI?", I mumble.

"I'm your you sister Jackie", she says with a shrug and a sad smile.

"STOP CALLING ME JACKIE... and I don't have a sister... my parents died when I was a baby and they were never some creators of a secret organisation... they were librarians...", I say as tears rolled down my cheeks.

"that's just what Aunt Clara told you...", she says talking a step towards me.

I take a step back, "I don't believe you..."

"Jacki... Jack please, you need to listen to me... otherwise PHOBIA's going to win... you and your friends have no idea what your up against... nether does Robert Morrison... he's just out to avenge his wife's death" she's says with a worried look on her face.

"Max's mother died in a car accident... how can you avenge that?", I say gesturing my hands out in front of me.

"that's what they want you to believe...", she says with tears of her own.

"who?", I ask quietly.

"PHOBIA", she's says looking at the ground.

"what's PHOBIA...", I ask, as the surroundings turn back into my living room.

"you won't listen to me so you'll find out very soon... you better get back to you not girlfriend she's worried sick... she's making a portal to Robin you might want to run...", she says as she fades away.

I stare at the spot where she was standing for a few minutes, as I tried to take in everything she had told me..., suddenly I remember...

"Jemy!" I yell as I ran to the Treehouse.

I am greeted by a hug that almost knocked me over, "WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?!?!?", she's says hitting my shoulder multiple times.

"Jemy", I say calmly.

"I got Ro to answer the comms..." she's says loudly.

"Jemy", I say trying to catch her attention.

But she carries on frantically, "she says max had gone missing... I can't track him because I don't know how...".

"Jemy" I say again.

But she doesn't hear me "then I couldn't find you... I searched the whole house".

"JEMY!" I yell as I put my hands on her shoulders "I'm right here no need to worry" as I pull her into another hug.

She mumbles something "oh and the comms and computer system blew out... and all the power...".

I pull out of the hug "WHAT!", I yell as I run over to the busted computer.

"yep everywhere in the city... even my mask broke... speaking of where's yours?", she says pointing to wear my mask should be.

I put my hand to feel for where my mask should be, "uhhh I...no clue".
