Snippet #1273098

Kendall gently set Suri down on a bench in a park a couple of blocks away from the pier. She glared up at him with pure disappointment in her eyes. 

"Don't give me that look, I promise I'm not letting him get away with this."

"Then go back and get her now, you're a freaggin' Pusher, you can make him give her up!"

Kendall met her gaze and for some strange reason it was is if he were staring at a smaller, feminine version of... Himself. Her eyes were identical to his but her hair was a shade lighter. She looked eerily like his mother, but that was just coincidence -right?

"Right now the only thing I can do is take you back to this apartment I had found, I can't go back there and risk any danger with you. So let's go."

He reached down and took her hand only to find her pulling back. "I have to go back!"

He was thinking about using his power on her but his thoughts were cut short for he instead hugged her and gently reassured her that everything would be alright. 

"What if you're wrong, what if they kill her?" She was on the verge to tears as she clung on to him; the feeling of his arms woven around her so nostalgic. 

"They won't, first their gonna want to use her as a pawn, I saw the way that blood hound looked at her. I'm sure she'll figure a way out and I'll go back to help." He promised pulling back to look at the cute girl. 

She smiled a little and followed him as they exited the park to hail a cab. Once inside and heading toward the direction of their new hide-out the girl would dare ask if he knew anything about the time before he awoke in the apartment. 

Kendall sighed as he gazed out the window, his expression quite pensive as he tried to remember. 

"I only remember being drugged with something, it was painful. Then I blacked out and well everything seems now like a blur of movement and faces. I awoke inside an apartment, that's all I can get. Every time I try to go back, I get a really bad headache."

"You don't remember...they must have erased your past."

He looked at her strangely for a moment, not sure how to respond to that. Of course he couldn't know her, he just met her. But he felt like he strongly had to protect her, it wasn't the same feeling he had with Relena and the others; this one felt more deep. 

"Hey, how did you know I'm a Pusher?"

"I've always known, and I also know everything you've forgotten. I'm a wiper, the only thing I can do is erase memories. I wish I could return them too. Sometimes having a power can really bite."

"Ditto."


Soon they would arrive at the spot, Kendall handed the driver a fifty and when he got the change he asked Siri to use her power to erase his memory of ever seeing them. Once that was done the two teens ran into the abandoned building.

"Honey I'm home!" Kendall mockingly called out to the others as he opened the door to find a small red envelope flutter down from the frame. Catching it he opened it up as he walked into the threshold of the apartment.

Don't vanish. Strike!

"Wow love letters already, somethings never change."

Suri muttered as she looked into a room to find Relena and other pushers there. She smiled shyly and introduced herself.

"What does this mean?"

Kendall wondered to himself as he paced behind his sister to join the others collected in the living room.
