Skye was sitting quietly in one of the carriages of the hover train, observing everything around her. People avoided her gaze, the conductor passes without even glancing at her, they couldn't help it, people always felt uneasy around Skye and would keep a wide berth. What they didn't know was that she was Gifted. One of the rebel teens know as The Fallen no less.
As long as she was wearing the surveillance cuff, no one would bother her. Her cuff was a fake of course. Axle gave it too her, and frankly, she loved it. The perfect disguise.
Pushing back a strand of the wavy black hair she looked around the carriage. Jasper had told her that she would find a group of gifted being guarded but the government soldiers on the 37th stop off the Mavel Way train line.
That was why she was here, Skye Williams to the rescue she thought dryly.
She stood up as the hover train started to slow, ready to get off her stop. She was supposed to be meeting the others behind the old disused flower mill, just beyond the station. Pulling up the hood from her black jacket she stepped off the train into the darkness. Smiling she started walking towards the mill, happy in the darkness where she wouldn't stand out. Reaching into her pocket she pulled out her favourite sliver knife and slid it up her sleeve, out of sight but easy to reach in case anything went wrong. Turning the corner to the mill she stumbles to a stop and quickly back-peddles out of sight. Cursing she presses her back against the wall, and thinks through her options, wondering where the others were.

They had caught her. Somehow they had tracked her down and now she stood on a train platform, handcuffed and a device around her neck that would shock her if she decided to use her gift. Invisibility was useful, except when the people guarding you could hit a button and instantly find you, stupid technology. Kata twisted her wrists, she glanced over at the guard closest to her, he just started back thru mirrored sun glasses, his hand moved closer to his gun. Her back pack lay at his feet, it held everything she now own, including a army knife that she would love to stab into the guard with. When they caught her someone called her dangerous, how can having the ability for dissapear be dangerous? Shouldn't they be worrying about someone who can blow stuff up or mess with minds? Kata rolled her eyes, looking back to the guard she smirked, "So where are we going this time? Some place warm or one of those cold places where your kind thrive?"

All she got was a blank stare, reaching up she felt the collar like device she was force to wear, it was on tight. "Damn people..." she muttered looking to the others in the guarded group. No one else had said a word since they got here, several looked scared. Who wouldn't be. The Government was a scary group of people, and this time she had a hunch that she wouldn't be escaping.

Glancing around the wall, Skye observed what was in front of her. Clearly the bunch of gifted she was looking for and the moronic soldiers guarding them. The captured teens had some sort of collar around their necks, and from the fact that none of the gifted were using their powers she assumed that it was stopping them from doing so.
Well thats a new one she thought, taking another quick peek at the guards.
Needing a change of plan Skye decided to do a quick scout around the building to see if she could find Axle or Jasper. Creeping back through the darkness she searched around the perimeter of the building. Spoting a government soldier on patrol Skye came to a stop, considering her options. A small smile spread across her lips as she made her decision. Creeping up behind him, she tapped him on the shoulder making him jump.
"Looking for me?" She asked, then cursed as she looked into his eyes, seeing only her reflection.
Damn! She thought, she could only use her powers if people were looking directly into her eyes, and this soldier was wearing the same mirrored glasses that the others were. She ducked as he swung his fist at her.
"Ah well, guess we will have to fight your way." She said to the man and slashed his neck with her knife before he'd even had time to react.
Dragging the body out of sight she straightened up and let out a small sigh. Wiping her knife across her trousers to clean it, she palmed the blade and headed back to where she had discovered the gifted.

Thomas had been enjoying a warm cup of sweet tea when the train arrived, he had to admit this country was strict with these 'Gifted' people he had read so much about, he considered his own power much more trouble than people who could turn invisible, something he'd seen in the news recently. A peeping tom or invisible bank robber was much less work for the police compared to a man who could take any identity he wished and then some. Outside the battered train-car he could see trouble brewing.

A young girl was bound on the train platform surrounded by distressed bystanders and armed guards, they'd surely not open fire here if he messed with their heads a little. He added wrinkles a little extra skin to his face to seem older, he also tanned himself slightly, he was now a lorry driver called Robby and the guards would be non the wiser. He approached one of the guards and set about messing with them. "Excuse me son, y'all know where I can find one of them Starbucks?" 'Robby' asked with as stupid a faked accent he could manage.

"What?! you blind you old man? there's one in front of us." He said pointing to the clearly visible Starbucks cafes. It was so unlucky Robby happened to as blind as a bat and a deaf old fool to boot. "I don't see no bus, where's this coffee place son?" He asked again, trying hard to suppress a chuckle. He kept his eyes on the girl while the guard began raving about him being an old, deaf idiot. He'd gotten one guard out the way but this girl needed more help than he could provide at the present time.

Severa looked around the busy train station, until she found what she was looking for. Bad day to be soldiers, The Government will regret sending these guy’s on my territory, Severa thought. She flipped her hood over her head, and walked slowly past the soldiers. She glanced at the poor soul who had a metal collar tight around her neck. She remembered when her sister was wearing one as she was taken. She almost fell on her butt laughing when the older man asked the soldiers if they knew where a Starbuck’s was. Now I just have to figure out how to help that girl. Severa’s ability to control and summon fire came in handy sometimes. “Go light the jerk on fire,” she whispered, sending a small flame towards the soldier closest to her. She giggled evilly to herself as the man’s jacket caught fire.

"Funny... I'm sensing more in this area.. Besides Skye" Jasper looked up to the sky, in his mind he pictured a robins egg blue, or what he imagined it to be. Kind of hard to imagine a color when you have never seen it before. But smell and sound made up for the lack of sight... Well somewhat. Axle was beside him, watching the crowd, and acting as "eyes" for Jasper, good friends did that for each other. He looked away from the sky and over to Axle, his blank eyes stared right at Axle's, "You do have a plan for helping these gifted don't you?" he asked, "Because I have a hunch the government is starting to get pissed," Jasper smirked, reaching into his pocket he pulled out a pair of sunglasses and slipped them on, then looked back to Axle, "But I don't think that has stopped you before..."

Cameron was being moved. Again. He never really understood why they moved him around, as one cell was much like the other to him. Cold, hungry, lonely... All you could ever want from a prison, and then some. Those around him looked scared, but he was just... numb. The collar didn't actually stop him from using his gift, it just made it... painful. The shock passed through to those he touched as well, so he'd stopped trying after the first time.
He wasn't paying much attention to his surroundings, but there was something about somebody actually talking to a soldier that just made him stand out to Cameron. He watched as the old guy and his new friend argued about something... It wasn't until one of the soldiers caught fire that he actually reacted, taking a step or two and bumping into someone next to him. She was still wearing street clothes and he'd noticed her mouthing the guard earlier, so he assumed she was new and didn't know that she'd pay for it later. He muttered a "sorry," meaning both about bumping into her and for her situation in general, then went back to watching the soldier.

Electricity crackling over his fingers, Darren stuck to the shadows, watching events unfurl. Some old, deaf man had come up and started pestering the guards, when another girl walked over and set the guard alight. Seems that there were other gifted also here to free the captured gifted. But how did they intend to break these new collars? It would be interesting to see what happens.

Skye watched what was happening with interest and bit back a laugh as she saw the guard catch on fire, serves him right she thought. Obviously someone else had a rescue attempt in mind as well. Smiling she kept to the shadows and studied the group of people ahead of her, looking for an opening. The guards were on high alert now and with the old guy over there she would have to be careful not to harm him. A grim smile spread across her lips as she took down her hood and shook out her hair.
Let the chaos begin Skye said to herself, stepping out from the shadows. Walking slowly towards the guards she smiled. The guards nearest her spotted her and raised their guns, turning to face her, their attention away from the gifted, just as she had planned.
'Stop where you are!' They shouted. Slowing her pace but not stopping, Skye continued walking. Noticing the tinted glasses the guards were wearing Skye cursed under her breath. I really hope this works She thought to herself.
Looking at the guard closest to her, she took in a deep breath and tried to compel him.
'You don't want to hurt me.' She told him, her eyes flashing, the power evident in her voice. The guard started shaking as he fought for control over his body. It was difficult for Skye to control people without eye contact, or if something was blocking direct eye contact. It wasn't impossible but it took a lot more energy.
'Drop your guns' She said to the other guards, the strain clear in her voice. Come on Jasper, Axle, any time soon would be good. She thought to herself.

Thomas kept his eyes wide open as the guard continued to volley him with insults, He noticed a few more people approach now, A girl had set one of the guards on fire, presumably with a lighter while another in a cloak tried to stand off against the guards. knowing as soon as the guards (even the one he'd been distracting) raised their guns against the odd, cloaked girl he'd have to step in Thomas took out a chloroform soaked rag and grabbed the poor sod he'd been messing with before, the man was quickly rendered unconscious thanks to his rapid breathing and his body laid slumped before anyone could even notice thanks to the commotion on the platform.

He hid the rag back into his coat and assumed his own identity, his face thinned, became pale and his eyes turned back to their normal pale brown. "Have to think of something" He thought as a few bystanders looked in his direction. He tightened the carbon bonds of his skin cells and rushed another soldier, pushing him to the ground from behind. "Your not going to shoot a girl are you? you big bloody puff!" He yelled, trying to take attention of the guard and lead him away.

He needn't worry too much about getting shot as his skin was bullet proofed now however it was still like being hit by a gorilla and if he bruised too much (which he would) he wouldn't be able to change for a while. His heart thumped madly in his chest as he backed away slightly, urging the guard to follow him with rude gestures while he changed his eye colour to bright yellow in hopes of throwing him off a little.

Another girl walked up and started to talk to the guard. The guard lifted his gun, but seemed to be struggling. That’s when a boy tackled him to the ground. The man who’s jacket lite on fire earlier was now on a mad panic to set it out. “Now the fun part begins,” Severa said. She lightly flicked her fingers towards the guns, melting the ends. “Let’s see you try and shoot out of that,” she said loud enough for them to hear. She couldn’t contain her laughter as she scrambled to help the boy struggling with a soldier.

She had been watching the old man talk to the guard, he was rambling about a Starbucks, but the man wasn't the only problem. Kata was staring straight ahead when she started smelling something burning, quickly she looked over to where the the smell came from, at the same the the guard looked down at his jacket and swore. She smiled as she watched him panic as more of him became alight, as her attention was on the guard the old man tackled another guard and somehow knocked him out, he wasn't a old man anymore, his face had thinned and his hair had completely changed colors. 'He's gifted..' she thought looking to the other two who were engaging the guards.

The guard who earlier was on fire had managed to put the small flames out, with some help from a water bottle, he was now rushing at Kata, his gun aimed right at her but he didn't fire it, the end was melted. She held up her still cuffed hands ready to defend herself, "I thought I told you not to do anything, freak.." he said gritting his teeth, "Oh you know perfectly well that I have nothing to do with fire," she replied. If she used her gift then she would probably get shocked, and if she didn't, Kata didn't wait for a answer. She let the guard get a little closer to her then she kicked out at him, landing a weak hit to his stomach, then she dissapeared. Stepping aside she stuck out her foot to trip the guard, he fell on top of the already unconscious guy, she re-appeared to kick him hard in the stomach a few times, "I am not a freak!" she yelled at him.

Kata looked away from the guard to the others, one girl was talking to them into lowering the guns, and to her surprise they did, 'Must be a telepathic.." she looked around, people were staring at the group with frightened looks on their faces. Not wanting them to get a decent look at her face she decided to do what she felt was safest, and just dissapeared again.

Things had just gone crazy around Cameron. Suddenly there were guards running willy-nilly, some of the prisoners around him had started disappearing, and it seemed as if he was in the middle of the oddest rescue attempt. Nobody was watching him anymore, so he took the opportunity to move a safe distance from the fighting since, so far, nobody but the guards were injured and he really hadn't fought before. He probably stood out because of his cuffs, collar, and uniform, but the bystanders seemed too shocked to do anything about him.

The noise increased, people were running about, and the guards were in a state of panic. Skye wanted to laugh, but she had to keep her concentration, those tinted glasses were making her job difficult, luckily none of the guards were particularly strong willed. A flash of motion in the corner of her eye was all that warned her when a boy barrelled into one of the guards, shouting abuse at him. Skye grinned, as she looked up, then realised her mistake. The guards started to come to their senses and re-trageted her, aiming to kill.
'Stop!' She shouted, throwing her hands out in front of her, eyes flashing as the guard recoiled as if they had walked into something.
'Lower your guns.' Skye ordered. Waiting until the guards had slowly put down their guns, she ordered them to 'sleep' and watched as they dropped to the ground. Letting out a sigh of relief she dropped her hands to her sides and glanced around her, taking in what had happened around her.
Wow...So much for the plan She thought to herself. It was chaos. Some of the captured gifted were trying to use their powers, a girl was melting guns, and she had no idea where the old guy had gone, she only hoped that he had got out before things had gotten crazy. Skye was about to warn the guy who distracted the guard to be careful until she saw his eyes change colour, she grinned. Gifted, he could obviously handle himself.
Back to businessShe thought as she jogged over to the captured gifted. She went up to a girl and reassured her that she was there to help and examined the collars, trying to find a way to remove them.

Things had very suddenly gone nuts. All of a sudden, the guards were going nuts, seemingly under attack by gifted, and one of the prisoners dissapeared. Perfect. Slipping from the shadows, Darren slipped through the turmoil, navigating his way to the captured gifted. When he got to the prisoners, a black haired girl was trying to free one of the girls. Pushing her hands off the collar, he put two fingers against it. There was a brief surge of lightning, a white flash, and the collar was broken, overloaded by far more electricity than it was meant to handle. Removing the collar from around her neck, he moved on to free the next one.

Severa had gotten up after all the soldiers fell to the ground. She never had seen so many gifted in one area. The only gifted she had ever seen was her and her sister. “Serves you guy’s right, stupid pieces of….” She cut herself off when she looked around for the girl that had on a ‘shock collar’. “This is so stupid! I just want to burn all those stupid ‘big and bad’ guys alive. Piss off!”

Kata reappeared beside the fire girl, "Yea, burn them all alive and give the feds more reasons to hate us," she finished unlocking the hand cuffs on her wrists, a guard had the keyes on his belt. She looked over to where a guy was undoing the collars around the groups neck, "Hey, care to take care of this?" she asked pointing to her neck.

Looking over to the girl that had called him, Warren saw her pointing to her collar. "Brace yourself. This is going to hurt a little more than the normal shocks", he called to her. Raising his arm, he pointed his palm towards the girls neck. Another sudden flash, and the collar was shorted by the bolt of lightning.

"Hey! The feds won't hate us! They will hate me more than they already do! God, they probably would have already shot you all if it wasn't for me. So quit your complaining!" Severa hated it when people were total smart asses to her. "Big fucking whoop. You can disappear, can you breathe fire? I didn't think so. No unless you want to burn with them, I suggest you not piss me off." At times, Severea did fly off the handle with threats and name calling, but no one would dare try anything ... Unless they wanted third degree burns. She blew slightly in the direction of the 'invisible' girl, tiny flames coming out of her mouth. Small threat, stay away from me. Severa thought.

Skye looked up as someone approached her and took a step back as he pushed her hands away from the collar around the girls neck. Her eyes widened as she saw a flash and the collar fell away. Wow. How many gifted are there here tonight?! She thought to herself, shaking her head and smiling slightly. Looking around to check everyone was okay, she bent down next to a guard to check his pulse. Asleep.
'Tut tut, asleep on the job. She said to herself as she checked his pockets for anything useful. Apart from a walky talky she found nothing. As the shouting started Skye looked up suddenly and frowned at the scene in front of her. Great, this is just what we need. She thought to herself with a sigh. As the 'fire girl' threatened the gifted who could turn invisible Skye jumped up and headed towards them, her dark cloak flowing behind her as she went.
'Wow, cool it yeah?' She said towards the 'fire girl'. 'Save it till we get out of here. I don't like how quiet it is..' She said as she scanned the area, on high alert, and where the hell were Axle and Jasper?

Severa looked up frustrated at the girl, but she could tell that she should probably not say anything. So she just mumbled things under her breath. She looked up from the ground, seeing passer-byes staring. “What’s wrong with you people! Get a move on! There is absolutely nothing to see here. Unless you wanna die I suggest you move.” She added the last part due to some middle-aged woman giving her a look of pure disgust. “I’ll burn you alive, now MOVE!”

Things seemed to have calmed down somewhat, but you never knew what was going to happen when you put so many gifted into one place. Cameron wandered out, motioning to the collar-zapper that he wanted his collar removed as well. He ignored the girl shouting at the crowd, moving into the group of gifted again as the crowd seemed to be shaking off the shock of the attack.

Another guy with a collar gestured to Darren. "Alright, I've gotta warn you though, this one is probably going to sting" he said as he raised his hand, lightning crackling over it. Then, as an after thought, he added "A lot." Keeping electricity precise is VERY difficult. It doesn't want to go where you want it to go. It took a lot of concentration to limit it to just enough to break the collar but not hurt the wearer. This one probably wouldn't be quite as well controlled. A bolt of electricity leaped from his hand to the collar, instantly disabling it.

Skye sighed as the 'fire girl' shouted at the others. She was causing WAY too much noise. She was going to attract attention, and the last thing they needed was more guards turning up. She was starting to worry that Jasper and Axle weren't here yet, and she didn't have a clue what to do with all these gifted. Thinking through her options she looked over the group around her. She needed to scout around, check if any of the gifted has run off during the fight, check that there were no more guards, and to see if she could find the leader of The Fallen.
'Stay together, you'll be safer that way.' She directed. 'I'm going to check the area is clear before we get out of here.' She told them. She looked over the group again and was filled with disgust at the government, some of these kids weren't even 16 yet. This was why she had agreed when Axle had asked her to join him when he created The Fallen. To get back at the government, and to give some form of hope to the gifted.
Pulling her hood back over her head she looked over at the group once more. 'If i'm not back in 10 minuets, run.' She said before turning around and jogging towards one of the dark alleys.

Severa thought she should help move some of the sleeping soldiers since she was finished screaming at the crowd, which slowly started to go away. "Well if she said we have to run, I need to get my running shoes on," she said, digging through her bag," Darnit, where are they?" She finally found them, covered by her spare clothes. She shoved one on her foot and sat there on the dirty ground, trying to remember. "Now how do I tie them again?" She hated forgeting how to do things. That or she never learned them. She was always to busy coming up with plots or ways to take out her anger. "What am I supposed to now? Ask around for someone to tie a 15 and a 1/2 year olds shoe?" She looked around quikly to make sure she wasn't being started at weirdly. As far as she saw, there wasn't anyone looking her way. "Dang it!" She never thought never going to school or neverbeig home would affect her this much. "Well I can maybe run with them untied. I usually do ..."
