"Okay, well let's see. He isolated you from the rest of the family." I state using my hands extravagantly.
"Kept you hopped up on pills." Diego pipes in tucking his shirt into his pants.
"And he brainwashed you into thinking you had no powers." Lu...

CHAPTER 2
1963
I walk along the sidewalk through the many people ready to leave work for the day. After hunting for a year for food I decided to leave the wildlife alone and move into town. I still of course camp in the bush just outside of town but I needed money. I found a job at the local strip club, what? A girls gotta do what a girls gotta do. I walk up to the building with a stride of purpose.
"Hey." I greet walking past the bartenders. The room is already packed with customers making me quickly run through the place. I catch sight of big man the same shape as my brother Luther but quickly shrug it off. It can't be, I'm here by myself, I've already checked. I walk into the dressing room and use the hairspray on the desk to place my hair into a sleek high ponytail.
"Your late." my boss states looking at me through the mirror. I watch him move closer to me.
"I know. I'm sorry. It won't happen again." I reply not stopping in regards to my hair.
"I know you won't because if you do you're fired." I pause and connect my eyes with his. I watch as he walks away from me. I groan to myself before applying some red lipstick. I then quickly change into my costume consisting of royal blue sequinned high waisted underwear and matching crop top showing off my curves. I sigh looking into the mirror before grabbing my feathered fan and walk onto the stage. I realise the left-hand side is vacant as I move over to it. I begin my rehearsed dance I'd dance countless times before. I crouch down flipping my hair around as I raise my fan into the air, waving it around in a circle. I look up at the men in front of my with a rehearsed smirk but I pause landing my eyes in a familiar young face.
"Five?" I question, my eyes going big. He looks back at me a shocked expression. I quickly stand up before running back down the runway and behind the stage.
"What are you doing?" My boss orders his face going red.
"I've gotta go." I state running out into the main part of the bar. I ignore his yells ordering me to stay but I continue to walk out. I find both my brothers Luther and 5 standing beside the bar, both arguing.
"I just told you the world's gonna end in ten days." 5 states angrily.
"You're here!" I state breathlessly interrupting their previous conversation.
"Nice outfit." 5 states looking at me with his arms crossed. I could tell by the way he looked he was under stress.
"Nice dance moves." Luther states. I feel my face go red as what they said finally sinks in.
"How much did you see?" I question crossing my arms over my chest.
"Enough." 5 replies. I shake my head before stopping realising what their previous conversation was about.
