Alexandria Tamon's Story

Alex had just finished changing when she heard what was going on in her room and hearing Jonathan freak out about Matty. She opened the door and found Matty was alright, and asked about out-of-body experiances, but they could hear men going into her building. "Crap." She thought as Jonathan said he would gaurd the way to give her and Matty time to escape.

She dashed out of the room to catch Jonathan, and caught him at the stair case, "Look, J. I don't know what's going to happen, and I just wanted to say sorry." She felt tears begin to form, but she held herself back, "If it wasn't for me, you two could have been off in another state by now, So, please just forgive me." She finished and she knew they didn't have much time, so she kissed him once again, this time without pulling anything out of him, "I'm sorry." She said, eyes full of tears, before turning to Matty, "Lets go, we need to be quick. They should be below us, so go into that apartment," She pointed at her elderly neighboor's home, "And go out the fire escape, it leads all the the to the top of the building, and it is close enough to thge next to jump. Got it." She asked, before grabbing his hand and pushing him into the apartment, letting him go first, before she followed, but she decided to go outside, just incase they could see her, and they apperently didn't. Although she could see the tanks with the TANC logo on it as she unhooked the gates, allowing them to travel upwards.

Matthew, through all the confusing pushing, shoving, and pulling, made it to the ladder. He climbed up it, and made it to the roof. Thats when he noticed it got a lot more cloudy then before. "Looks like rain" he noted in his head. Thats when he saw the other roof. He was about to go to the other edge, get a running start, when something whacked him in the back of the head, knocking him down. He quickly spun around, but he saw nothing. He got up, and looked around. "Who is there?".

Thats when it started to rain. Quickly and silently. He wasn't sure what just happened. "Alex?". He was confused. He remembered the papers. "Liam?". A noise was made, to his left. He heard a voice. "How do you know that name?". "That name? Who are you then?" He could tell he was circling him now. His voice would let Matthew know where he is. Just need to keep him talking. "My name is not important. Now answer my question...". "I read it from a truck. I assume its yours". "You know very little about this entire situation....". "Enlighten me then". "Thats not my decision to make...." "Then why are you here?" "Because my boss wants to meet you.....".

Matthew had been edging towards the far side of the building. "Wouldn't that be better if you were visible?" "In case you haven't noticed, there is a large government task force below. Besides, I am not known for my Personal Skills....". "Here is a Question you have to answer though. If your not Liam, how do you have his power?". "The same or similar powers can develop in separate people. Its rare but possible. THe boss knows the rest. Now, you going to come with me, no matter what....".

He was right in front of him now. Matthew needed a plan. He was hoping some help would come.

Alex was on the roof when she noticed Matty was talking to nothing, "Don't be losing it now, Matty." She thought as she got beside him.

She could tell someone else was there, but it didn't really consern her at the moment, her only focus was making sure Matty was alright. Although she knew this perosn might be some help. "Matty, who are you talking to? If you are here, you better be willing to help us, or so help me I will bury you." "No need to do that, miss Tamon." "Matty, are you alright? How can you help us? I over heard you, so take us to your boss now, or get out because I will make sure that none of those army guys down there make it out, got it!" She yelled at the man she couldn't see.

"Your 'boss' is who exactly? And why just me?". "The first I cant tell you, and the second I don't know". Matthew could tell he was lying. "The only reason he would be after one of us and not all is if he wanted me because one of my powers specifically. And how do I know he just wont try and kill me? Or you? How can I trust you?"

"Thats not the point, and it isn't really optional....". Thats when a helicopter started to come down. At the same time, Alex came in and made her comments as well. "You don't want to upset him. And if you don't come, things wont end well for anyone. Soldiers on the street. Storming the buildings. Even if you leave this one, they have yet to search the next one. And the next one. And the next one. Now, you can work with us, or take your chances with them."

Matthew didn't like this. He didn't trust him at all. But then again, there wasn't much choice.

Watching from the sidelines, so to speak, when Jonathan stunned the person he was surprised. "You know, he was probably our best, maybe only, ticket out of here? You did know that, right? They are going to search the buildings around us t......" Matthew commented, before soldiers bust through the door, shooting at Jonathan. Again. But this time, the bullets stopped in mid air without Jonathan having to do a thing. Matthew stopped them, instinctively, with his mind. But that's not the only thing he did.

In his anger for trying to kill his brother, his Telekinesis also dragged down the helicopter right at the Soldiers. It was surprisingly lightweight, so it was probably ordered by some billionaire who wanted a Helicopter that flew fast, so made it out of lightweight metals. Matthew found this interesting. He also missed. The Helicopter went over the soldiers, hits the trucks, which were loaded with explosives and weapons and such, which combined into a bigger explosion. The pure force of this explosion filled the street, which was now filled with all T.A.N.C. Personnel, and damaged the buildings, also knocked Matthew, who was by the edge of a building, off. He could barely remember much afterwards. He found himself falling. Then.....floating. The he hit the ground, hard, and it hurt. He flickered in and out of consciousness, getting small blurbs. There was fire. Then sirens. Then flaring lights. Matthew finally got up, and he ached all over, but as far as he could tell, there were no soldiers nearby. But there were ambulances. He must have not noticed anyone helping him up, because he heard some voice, he couldn't tell who, he couldn't even tell Gender or age, asking "Are you okay?". They started carrying him towards the ambulance.

Normally, this would make Matthew angry, but he was hurting all over. However, it was all temporary. NO broken bones, no stitches needed. Something must have broken his fall. Thats when he realized something. "Jonathan......Alex....." he managed to spit out, prompting the two paramedics saying "Everything will be okay. We are sending people to search the building right now". He then heard something else, and hoped they did not recognize him. "Doesn't this kid look familiar. I sear I have seen him before......its probably nothing. Maybe I saw him on the subway once or something....yeah, he isn't anyone I know....".

(note: As SMinSC is unable to post right now, she asked me to post for her)

Matthew

The paramedics brought over Matthew to an ambulance on the other side of the street, by this one man (Adrian Mills) who was looking at him. At this moment, between everything that had happened, Matthew flashed back to what he saw. "Claire Mills.....Liam Banks......Lilith Ross.....have....to warn them....find them.....". Matthew's inner good, his inner Hero was talking now. Awakening. He wanted to help. Besides, if everyone bands together, everything would be easier. He looked over at the crash, and then noted "Dr.....Tinkinsteiner......". He was just blurting out anything that came into his head. However, he soon gained full awareness, looking around, and then asking "What happened?"

One of the paramedics came around and asked him "Are you alright?". Thats when Jonathan came here. "Yeah. Nothi..." he started, but couldn't help but yelp in pain. "Well, everyone needs to go to the hospital anyways. We need to make sure you didn't get a concussion. The Paramedic then left. Jonathan asked, and noted, and then Matthew finally noted "I have n....OW!" he noted.

Alex:

Alex had also fallen off the side, but a different side. But when she felt, its like the ground came to her and was soft. When she woke up. She was on ground level, and barely had any scratches. Alex started to look for them, worrying if they survived or not. She quickly ran back to the street, bumping into a man (Kenneth Myers) along the way. "Oh, sorry, have you seen my two friends? They are brothers, one is about 19 and the other 11?"

She looked around, but it was a busy street. She then spotted Matthew and Jonathan by an Ambulance close to another man. "What kind of day is this? Everything is going crazy....." she commented.

Solia

As Adrian dragged her into the room Sol looked around. The sound of the door being broken into, the sounds of orders being given, and the ever growing heartbeats flooded her ears. She tried to block them out, focusing on Adrian as he pointed out towards a drain pipe. "If you go on down there I can meet you outside." She gave a look of indignation as Adrian gave a smile before climbing out a window into the next room over. With that she climbed out, reaching over to the drainpipe and grabbing hold. She slid down into a back alley, landing onto the ground with a catlike grace. She looked up towards the apartment as she heard two gunshots, rushing around to see if she could get a sight of Adrian. With no such luck she hid from sight of the T.A.N.C. apcs parked outside, seeing more men moving in. She hid there, watching squad after squad go in. Before long something caught her eye, a helicopter crashing down onto the street. She retreated back, shielding herself from flying debris. Where the apcs once stood was now a smoldering wreck, twisted metal and melted rubber filled the street. Burning rubber and gasoline fires filled her nose, overpowering her before she saw Adrian walking calmly outside the lobby. She had caught up to him when she heard him speak. His expression was blank, his eyes weary as he yelled for Claire. She hid her hands, her nails still claw-like as she looked over Adrian. "What happened? Adrian? Are you ok?"
-------------------------------------------------
Claire

As if in a dream, everyone she saw disappeared. She awoke inside a dumpster, her back cut up and sleeves torn. She climbed out, looking around but seeing nothing. She emerged to see an empty street, the sound of an ambulance racing past her but no sight to be seen. She walked down the street, the very sidewalk seemed to melt to her step. "Turn back." "Follow me" Whispers clouded her mind, nothing moved as she looked around. Almost as if in a flash people appeared before her, yet they were frozen. She put a hand to one yet no response emerged. Then, the sound of a woman's voice grew from behind her. "Little girl. It isn't safe out here, alone in this world." The feel of hands to her shoulders terrified her, she broke free but the hands remained on her. The squeezed on her, the woman standing there with a delirious grin. Yet in a second, she was gone. The street was still frozen but now she saw people moving, a group up ahead. She started to walk towards them when the woman's voice came back, mixed with another voice. "Don't you worry little girl..." "Run!" "I'll always be there." "Go!" She started to run, seeing several people moving and talking. One of those people was a boy, who looked around her age. She started to walk towards the group, still hearing the woman's voice in her head.
--------------------------------------------------
Adrian

No noise could be heard, nothing as he glanced over to see Solia standing beside him. His hands shook as he held the stuffed bear in his hand, no noise could escape as he just stared. Anger, despair, fear, and blame were flowing through him. No noise. He was deafened by his own thoughts, yelling in his head at everything. He had to come back to reality, if only for a moment. He started to speak. "No...I... I'm not ok." A few voices were echoing around him, paramedics speaking to others around him. A few words came to mind, someone talking aloud to themselves. "Claire Mills..." With one turn, Adrian looked over to see a boy no older than eleven or twelve. "How do you know my daughter's name?" Anger and hope flared in his words, his expression one of despair. He looked over the boy and the paramedics nearby, his expression twisted by grief. This boy knew something, something about his daughter. He had to get to the bottom of it. Before he could get another word in the world around him stopped moving, a few people walking around but nothing else. The two paramedics froze in place, flames from the wreckage froze in the air. A single spark rested just above Adrian's sleeve. Normally he would question this but he had to find answers.

Kenneth felt someone bump into him, turning a bit to see a young woman before him. "Oh, sorry, have you seen my two friends? They are brothers, one is about 19 and the other 11?" "Sorry, I haven't. I can help you look if you want though." He did his best to keep a friendly appearance, not an easy thing for him considering he is now being hunted. Looking around, he saw a few groups of people: paramedics, firefighters, concerned citizens, the like. He walked down the street with this woman, his arms and legs in riot gear. A few onlookers noticed but payed him no mind, he was focused on the scene. A helicopter crash, burning bodies, a god awful mess. "What kind of day is this? Everything is going crazy....." With a shrug he commented with a small bit of distaste for it. "Maybe it's the end days. The shit preachers spout to the masses. Who knows." As the woman beside him spotted who she was looking for she made her way, Kenneth following behind. One thing caught his mind, a little girl wandering the streets alone. She looked pretty injured and scared so he decided to go over and see if she needed help. He knelt down and smiled a bit. "Hey there miss, are you lost? Can you tell me your name?"

Matthew:

Matthew was having a mild headache when Adrian Mills asked his questions. He replied simply, but honestly "THese T.A.N.C. People had a file on her, just like me. They had a few others too, such as Lilith Ross and Liam Banks, if those names mean anything to you. Apparently, they are hunting your daughter, like they are hunting me.....". His head was spinning. It hurt like hell. And that's when it happened. Everyone was in close proximity now. All 7 of them. And between the pain, the headache, and his powers going out of control, Matthew's brain felt like it was exploding. He closed his eyes, opening them a moment later to find everything changed.

All of them where there, but no one else was. And everything was rubble. Everything. "What.....what just happened?". "Your in the future. Well, actually, your seeing the future, your not actually here" noted a very familiar voice, nearly identical. Perhaps even identical. Matthew turned around to see himself. His future self. "Whats going on?". "Your seeing the future, and you accidentally brought everyone around you for the trip. Don't worry, you will be back soon enough....". "What happened here?". "You mean the city? Destroyed in The Battle of Times Square. But that's what you need to prevent. Now, I doubt I have long. THis is probably the longest vision you will ever have, so remember this. Go to the Hospital. Go Left. And after you save this city, go to Los Vegas. Oh, and The Box Exists. Now, I suppose we si....." he rambled, being cut off as the vision ended.

Notably, time seemed to have resumed when the vision ended. Matthew's head was in major pain, but it was starting to get better. "Great, another power I have absolutely no control over...". IN retrospect, Matthew's powers were not really developing that fast. He has no control over two of them, has barely control over his first, and all of them if he pushes too far creates pain.

Alex:

Alex's head was spinning. Between what just happened and what will happen, she didn't know how to react. But to look a Jonathan and tell him "So, I guess we already have plans made it looks like. Guess I will have to cancel dinner reservations....", smiling. Small Talk, it helped keep her level headed and cool. But what she had seen, she was worried. Worried for Jonathan, worried for Matty, worried for everyone.

SHe then noted "Well, I think we should go with these ambulances towards the Hospital now? Before more of those people come back?"


(Woot, the plot is gaining some momentum :D)

Liam

As soon as Nadi fell, more gunshots riddled the flimsy wall. Some were darts. Others, a bit more lethal. His first instinct was to turn invisible, but he felt guilty leaving Lilith and Nadi the only targets. Instead, he scooped up the fallen girl, and beckoned the other to follow him. They bolted out the door and down the stairs, since it seemed faster that way.

The plan worked until they got to the bottom floor. Rows of gunmen were there, and Liam had to double track. Thinking quickly, he spotted a window on the third floor, and after a couple tries, kicked it open. Now he pulled Lilith onto his back, and leaped out. He managed to land on his feet, bending almost all the way to the ground, and though the shock shook him up, he couldn't afford to stay put. He could already hear more gunshots. A helicopter was not far from them. Jesus. Who were these people? What did they want?

He thought he heard his name. A whisper of it. Was it the wind? It wasn't Lilith, and definitely not Nadi. Then who?

A rat-tat-tat of bullets interrupted his thoughts, and he sprinted away, both girls in tow. Suddenly, after passing through a tunnel, the bullets stopped following them. Or rather, they were shot in odd, random patterns, all of which missed them in particular. After a few minutes, he realized what had happened.

Somehow, he had made himself and the two others invisible.

He didn't think it was possible. It was strange enough that he could turn invisible. He could make others too? He thought back to the few comic books he had read. The Invisible Woman. What else could she do?

After what seemed like a very long minute, he came upon what looked like an enormous crater. Again, he heard his name. "...Liam Banks..." He turned his head and saw a boy about to be put into an ambulance. There were a couple others with him. Was it him? Liam didn't have any other leads. He jogged after the ambulance, and managed to climb on top before it started moving. It was quite difficult, and he nearly fell. The adrenaline was running out, he supposed. He released Lilith and continued holding Nadi, since he didn't want her to fall off. When he noticed that Lilith was slowly turning visible again, he grabbed her hand. Immediately, he blushed, but he hoped she wouldn't see.

They sat together, perched on top of the vehicle, invisible to all, following a boy that Liam had never met before, who somehow knew his name.

Lilith nodded in response to Nadi's response, frowning thoughtfully as she allowed herself to fall back onto the sofa. So they didn't know either... She lay there in silence, quietly pondering what she was going to do next. A return to her apartment would be risky at best, and if someone was after her, after them, she didn't want to risk a phone call to her father either. But even if Liam did let a total stranger crash on his couch for a night, it was by no means a solution to her problem.
The intro to 'Black Sabbath' drew her out of her thoughts, reaching into her pocket for her phone. She paled slightly as she opened the message, sitting up straight again.

'told dem everyting I no--run wile u still can'
-Chris'

A strange noise, followed by Nadi's loud exclamation made her look up split seconds before the air around them was filled bullets and... darts? She felt one or the other lightly graze her shoulder, but everything was happening so quickly that she barely noticed. She could have swore that Liam flickering in and out of sight for a moment, before Liam suddenly picked up the teenager and gestured to Lilith...There was no need; she was already on his heels as they exited the apartment. No thinking about about it.

What happened next was like it came straight out of an action blockbuster. Running, gunmen, and the only way out was out of a third floor window. Before she had time to take it their options, or lack thereof, Liam was kicking in the window, and then she was clinging onto the man of dear life as they fell to the ground, and then they were running again. More shouts, more gunshots, and was that a chopper? What on earth was happening?
Lilith didn't realize she was still holding Liam's hand until they slowed down enough for her to catch her breath, and in fact realize that his hand wasn't there at all. But neither was hers. A wave of panic crashed through her, trying to process exactly just why she wasn't there either, but she could still feel the warmth and pressure of Liam's hand against hers. Or just what had happened to the painfully shy man that had been there moments before.
Had he turned them all invisible? She wanted to ask him, to thank him for saving all of their asses... Hell, she'd kiss him again if she knew he wouldn't react in the same manner as the previous time. However, words didn't seem to want to come out of her mouth, so she remained simply remained silent for the moment.

Well, what the bloody hell had happened here? Did a bomb or something go off? Judging by the rest of today's events, it wasn't unlikely. She heard Liam's name, hers too. She stiffened slightly at the sound, glancing around to see who it was. A kid being put in an ambulance, several others hanging around nearby. A pull on her hand told her that her companion had the same idea as she, although she hadn't exactly planned on climbing on top. Her hand released, she let Liam carry Nadi, while she scrambled up on her own. A shout nearby soon alerted her to the fact that her body was re-materializing, but she was quickly saved by a hand gripping hers again.
She sighed softly, and unable to much else, squeezed Liam's hand. "Thank you." The words were spoken quietly, lest she alert anyone to their presence there. Speaking of which... Removing her cell from her pocket, she hurled it onto the street. "We should ditch our phones; they might be tracking us that way,"

Matthew

Matthew found the trip fairly quick. However, it didn't take long for them to become seperated again. Because of all the filled rooms and such, they stopped Jonathan and Alex at the door. But soon he learned exactly how many people there were. There were not just a few people here.....


...there was a lot. This entire city has been going through hell. But, as soon as the paramedics were gone, so was he. He was told to come here for a reason, and he wanted to know why. He started to look and search, looking for what he was supposed to find, getting lost in the large crowd in the process. And that's when he bumped into someone. "Oh, Sor.....Matthew?" said a familiar voice. Matthew turned and looked. It was Hunter, his best friend. "Hunter, what are you doing here?". "After the little event in the Gym, more men had come. Matt, they were after me, and a few others. However, we were being transported to the hospital, so they missed us...". "Wait, why did they come after you?" "Uh....no reason.....".

That's when he spotted someone coming into the hospital. Someone with a Sword. And that's when he dragged Hunter to the side. Matthew knew there was something here. And he knew that man was not good news. He just had to find it, before him. That's when he heard "Dr. T, please report to Room 5 on the third floor. And that's where Matthew went, up the stairs, and to the third floor, dragging Hunter along with him. Hunter then noted "So, what exactly is going on? Seems like after the Eclipse, the City went to hell....speaking of Eclipses, you dropped these...." he noted, handing him the glasses he used to watch the Eclipse with. "Well, trying to find answers, and tanks...." he noted, before asking "Exactly, what happened, truthfully, and what do you know?". "I know that they were after you. They were about to kill us when they found you, and then that huge.....force.....pushed everything back....which originated from you....". That's when he, for a moment, he thought he heard Hunter's thoughts. And, then I somehow developed a sonar ability and became more agile..... Matthew had suspected as much, but that's when Hunter looked at him weird. "I think I just heard your thoughts....and you heard mine.....".

Matthew sighed. "Great. ANOTHER power I cant control.....". And that's when he found Room 5......

Nadi

The elevator was quite large. Bees of different shapes and sizes swarmed in, and hurt her with each wing beat. Slowly, the walls began to close in, and she opened her mouth to scream...

Salt water filled it, and she found herself in the middle of the ocean. A shark was coming towards her, but it was smiling. Sharks don't smile before they attack, right? She reached out her hand towards, and found that they were covered in barnacles. She tried to pry one off...

Glitter everywhere. Was she in the rainforest? The city? She couldn't even tell. The sun turned into a disco ball, and the clouds danced to Party Rock Anthem. She joined in, and the tiled floor turned into a massive game of DDR...

She was home. She called for her mother, and found her in the kitchen. The floor turned slippery, and she couldn't get near to her. Her mother turned around, and her face had no features. She ran around the house. Her dad was the same way. A cross loomed in front of her before toppling down...

She was dying. Sliced, cut open, diced, eviscerated, 1000 ways to die and then some, a freakish ride of Final Destination, but she managed to come back to life in time for the next death. Run over, shot, blown apart, hung, decapitated, knifed in the stomach, pushed through a meat processor, compressed in a garbage truck. The pain was excruciating, but quick, and strobe lights flickered throughout....

She looked in the mirror and couldn't see herself. Then she couldn't hear herself. And then she could feel herself....

And then she was falling....

Liam

Liam had jumped off the ambulance, still holding Nadi, and quickly and quietly followed after where they had taken the boy. He managed to sneak past effortlessly, Lilith in tow. As she had done, he too had thrown away his cellphone. He was too shy to do the same with Nadi's, and just hoped it was turned off. It was already nearly too much that he was holding two different girls....he could feel himself blushing again.

Not now. He edged into the hospital, and keeping about 5 yards distance, continued after the boy. After a few short detours and an emergency bathroom break (why did he have to drink so much water??) they found the room. A girl and a boy were waiting outside, and as he approached, two more neared. They all seemed to know each other, and Liam held back. After the newly arriving guy and girl entered the room, Liam shuffled so that they could see into the room. There was a window, but he wasn't sure if the light would give him a shadow or not, so he avoided it for not.

The kid from before looked pretty young. Probably not even a teenager. Nearly all of the children (well, to him anyways) were talking amongst themselves, except for one of the girls, who seemed to be holding back. He peered intensely at the boy--named Matt, from what he gathered--and furiously wondered how he knew his name...

In the meantime, Nadi was starting to stir...

Natasha waited for an answer but 2 more people appeared. "Do you know what's going on?" She asked them, not really caring if she didn't know them or not. "I'm Natasha Richards, by the way." She sighed and leaned against the wall. "No one knows whats going on here, do they?" She looked at the guy, he seemed to be the same age as Natasha. "Is he high or something?" She thought out loud, not even noticing she had said it, she was giving him a funny look.

Matthew and Hunter were watching, when they heard crying from someone inside. Matthew burst in first, seeing Dr. T by a baby with two lab workers and a dead body. A dead kid. "Oh, Matthew, I....I am glad to see you. I heard about your parents. So sad. Perhaps you would like to sit down and rest?" he noted, looking at Matthew in the eyes. However, that's when Hunter noted "His heartbeat is still elevated, and jumped during certain moments. I am almost certain that means he is lying....".

Matthew used his powers and slammed Dr. T against the wall. For once, his power was working the way he wanted it to. "Now, tell me the truth....now....". "Fine, you want the truth? You mother was pregnant with a girl....". Hunter looked stunned. "As far as I can tell, he is....telling the truth...". The baby started to cry again. "Looks like your sister knows your here.....". Thats when Matthew looked Puzzled. "Wait, she couldn't have given birth, she wasn't even......" no started to comment, then remembering how she had been acting somewhat weird. "But, she couldn't have given birth already...." he noted, before turning his focus back on him. A blast of force knocked him against the wall again. "You....liar! Your trying to keep me occupied....". "Oh, but It isn't a lie. She gained a power, just like you. Forcefields. Who would have known....."

Thats when Matthew slammed him across the room, annoyed. "You have been lying to us the whole time though!, constantly spying on us!". The more complicated and confusing it got, the angrier he got. He could figure it all out of course, but it was giving him a headache. A worse then normal headache. Its like he was bombing him with things, on purposely making him angry, to his own dismay.

Thats when, from his hand, he shot some sort of red energy blast at Matthew, knocking him back, before leaving through the back door. Hunter quickly helped Matthew up, and Matthew, in a fit of rage, ran after him. Hunter followed, trying to stop him.

And at this point, Mercenaries, not T.A.N.C. however, began storming the place.

Just another fun hour in Hero Land!

(Sorry if it's bad, had to use iPhone)

Matthew was still emitting red sparks when Jonathan came over to him. However, his irises had gone completely white. Not that his eyes were completely white, just the irises.

A few hours earlier

Matthew found himself waking up in his bedroom, the morning....this morning. He looked at his laptop, picking it up and....Wait!!. He rushed out of his room, still holding his laptop, and saw his mother, and himself. But, things were different. She was indeed pregnant, but he remembered this morning, and she wasn't that pregnant. She turned around, and looked at me, pausing for a brief moment, before giving me, the past me, lunch for school. The other me turned around and made no reaction, passing me right by. As if he couldn't see me.

"Im guessing you know then, if your here...". This shocked him for a moment, but that's when he connected the dots. "Illusions. Your power is illusions....". "One of them, yes. They grow over time. What I want to know is why your here? You can't change the past, your smarter then that....". "Actually, I am not sure why I'm here. Dr. T hit me with a red energy blast....wait, what do you mean?". "Oh, I know what happened then. Your power of Foresight and Astral Projection are supercharged. And I meant I thought you were here to try and save me". Matthew looked down. He had thought that, at first. And he still did. That's when he realized something. "You mean I thought. Telepathy too, correct? Let me guess, dad has a power too....". But before he could do anything, she was on the floor in pain. "The baby! She is comming early!". Matthew panicked, asking frantic questions. His mom told him what to get. Which, most of flew to him.

After possibly the most traumatizing moment ever, his mom was holding his sister. "Forcefields, by the way". Matthew reflected on how weird the day has been. But that's when someone knocked on the door. He looked at mom, and then just realized spmething. "Where is dad?". "He went to work early, why?". "Then something has already changed....". His mom then got a little tense, and the baby felt it. He looked out the window and saw Jonathan. "Maybe not...." he heard her say before an explosion engulfed the house, and he barely saw a flash of light before......


Present day

Matthew woke up, coughing. Red sparks were still around him, but they were slowly dissipating. Matthew cried for a moment, before getting up and saying "We should go. I need time to think.....". He then went out into the hallway and asked "Right or....", then pausing and remembering. "Left, we go left". And he started left, Hunter following and asking if he was okay.

(sorry if I left out anyone, iPhone is difficult to use. Il try to reply to everyone next post, promise!)

Nadi

The sound of gunshots rattled her brain, and she murkily returned to consciousness. Her vision made everything seem like it was underwater, and she kept blinking her eyes. At one point, a bullet headed straight towards her, but when she moved to block it, she was shocked to find that she couldn't see her hand.

Nadi opened her mouth, but a scream that wasn't her own filled the air. It was painful, loud, shrill....Nadi felt like her head was going to explode. Even worse, though, was the feeling of something closing in around her. Bodies that she couldn't see were piling against her, suffocating her, smothering her. Her throat closed up and her invisible eyes widened as she began to panic. She tried to move, but her own sluggish muscles and the grip of Liam (of which she was oblivious to) made such efforts fruitless, which only fueled her growing hysteria. Her breath quickened, her body went stiff, and she was physically paralyzed, similar to the drug-induced state she was in previously, except this time her mind was more than active. Her eyes flitted back and forth, confused, disoriented, and most of all, completely terrified. She had to consciously think about breathing, and every ounce in her body wanted to burst from whatever was restraining her. She couldn't discern the bullets from each other, and certainly couldn't hear, or understand, the words Lilith was speaking to Liam. She could hardly feel the stinging pain of the bullets as they shot into her. Her mind was in full panic-mode, and the flood of sensual information provided no time or space for comprehension.

Suddenly, a calm, and Nadi found movement in her hand. She instinctively clutched desperately, if a bit retroactively, at the invisible thing holding her. Unbeknownst to her, this hold had an extra element involved....

Liam

Blood type?

Liam wasn't sure he had heard right. His ears were still ringing from the screech earlier, and the past bullets didn't make things easier. It was a miracle he hadn't gotten shot yet. He wondered if that was due in part to Nadi, and later Lilith, absorbing them. It was a wonder none went through the girls and into him, as both were quite slim....

Blood type....After piecing together the rest of Lilith's question, it seemed that was, in fact, what she was asking. He wasn't sure exactly why, but he deduced that her power could be transferred via blood, or at least some of it, namely the healing properties. It would make sense after all, since blood transfusions and---

Stop. Breathe. Answer the question.

Okay.

"AB," he spoke, "Plus. It....it isn't very....very common.....but.....but....." He never managed to finish his sentence. It seemed that Nadi had regained consciousness, since he felt her hand grab at his arm. He wouldn't have thought twice about it if he hadn't suddenly felt an odd draining sensation. By the time he realized what it might be, he could already feel the invisibility flickering, and his own breath growing shallow. Nadi was growing heavier and heavier, and it was as if his weight had doubled. Or that he had grown weaker.

Weaker....

!!

"Nadi, stop!" Liam said hoarsely. His voice sounded different from his usual quiet tone. This one had a raspy quality, and rattled. Death rattle. Was she sucking the life out of him? Could she do that? He coughed, and staggered forward. They regained visibility for a brief second, in front of the group of children they had initially been trailing. Even though he recovered, he knew the invisibility wouldn't be as strong as before. He could see the faint outline of Nadi's eyes, and Lilith's dark clothes were greying in. Coughing and wheezing, he tried to find a way to release Nadi's death hold on him without revealing her. The physical and mental strain took its toll, and they began to flash in and out, like an odd strobe-light effect, until finally, out of desperation and at the horror of briefly seeing his hand withering away, he wrenched his arm away from the girl, causing her to tumble to the floor, and himself to lose his own balance. He fell hard onto the ground, landing on his back. He was out of breath, and struggled to breathe. His body convulsed involuntarily, and his eyes were wide and slowly grew duller as white blotches seemed to invade his vision.

Was this what it was like to die?

Matthew went off towards an exit, Hunter asking him if he was okay, Alex and JOnathan were walking right behind them when they heard something. They all turned around and saw them all.

Matthew quickly pinned them all to a wall telekinetically, though not on purpose. However, it wasn't something he was going to undo. "So, I don't suppose your after us too?" However, before he could get a response, he lost all ability to move and collapsed, before blacking out.

He woke up in a room, a strange room. It was pink. And a girl's room. And there was no way out. And Jonathan was hanging from a wall, all bloody. He backed up, and saw his parents, dead, bloody, and hanging from the wall behind him. Thats when all their heads moved and asked "Why did you let us die?"

Thats when he was wearing a pink dress as well. "What the.....". "Welcome to my Nightmare Realm, you are now a prisoner. However, with that fear, the psychopathic woman had not expected him to astral project out of her realm back into his. He saw his own body, and two people standing over him. "You can't have him. T.A.N.C. wants this one for their "Special Projects". Do you know how valuable being able to see into the future?" "Why do you think my boss wants him. She was very insistant....." "We all know who your boss really is. So perhaps, instead of explaining to one of them why you failed, you join us, and let me take him." "Well too....."

All of a sudden, all of them were pinned to a wall as well, as if gravity shifted and caused this. Thats when the man, the Serial Killer from before, walked in. Notably everyone started to wake up, including him, and he was wiplashed back into his own body.

Matthew stood up and looked at him. However, a bolt of electricity knocked him back into Liam and Lilith. Hunter looked at the Serial Killer, and asked "Who the hell are you?" "The name is, hmm, lets go with Superman. Multiple power, after all. And I think its pretty funny. Now, Matthew, time to die...."

However, before he could get close to him, a man with a sword ran in, jumped and slip towards Matthew, Lilith, and Liam. Matthew saw his laptop on the counter by Jonathan, and pointed to it, as well as turning on his Phone's GPS. The man reached them, and teleported all 4 away. Matthew counted 3 seconds it took to teleport fully. He soon found themselves in the middle of an office.


Jonathan

Jonathan was in an office, a doctors office. He was just in a hallway, carrying a baby, and then all of a sudden, he was here. Thats when Dr. T came in, followed by Matthew and Alex comming in, all wearing white lab coats. They then began running tests, as Dr. T began examing Jonathan's body for any exterior changes. "Thanks again, Jonathan. Thanks for being a horrible protector and letting us take Matthew and Alex. You really helped with the plan. Did you know im becoming president? Well I am. Then, we will be unstopable. Isn't that great? And its all because of you".

However, the dream cut out there. Jonathan then saw waht unfolded in front of him, including the man with the sword teleport himself, Matthew, and two others away. Jonathan had a moment of shock. Seemingly, the Serial Killer disappeared too, as if he knew where they were going. Jonathan then returned to the shock Matthew was gone. And so was seemingly everyone else.

Including that strange woman.

"Lets all agree never to talk about those dreams...." Jonathan noted, and Hunter and Alex both agreed. "Now, someone just took my baby brother. SO they better have a damn good reason, because I am probably going to kil them either way...." he noted in a Cold, vengeful attitude thats when he noticed Nadi. "Who are you?"

Meanwhile at the Police Morgue

"No, these people are agents, they are not Mr. and Mrs. reed. I want Delta Team personally looking for them" A woman said scornfully, after seeing two bodies of her agents, the ones she had hired to take them out. T.A.N.C. was also startingto get in their way. She looked at a file, and then asked "Have you picked up my family yet as well. Not only do I want Alpha Team Prioritizing Matthew reed, I want to meet my family in my office.

The man only replied simply. "Yes, Dr. Mills"

(The plot thickens as Adrianne's Wife gets involved. Hope ya dont mind Thantos! :3 :D)

Natasha ran back down the stairs to tell the others about what she saw outside but when she got down a mysterious sword man made them all vanish and Natasha was standing in the hall, only one man was in the hall way. "What the hell just happened? Are the men still here?" She asked him, his face made her feel scared. "The men, the mercs that attacked here. Are there any still left?" Do I trust him? I mean, are the others even still here? She thought then turned around and looked over the edge, T.A.N.C men were running up the stairs. "Who are they? Are they to help us?" She asked turning around to look at the Killer but he was right behind her. "Scream for me." He growled and he grabbed her by the hair and pulled her away from the stairs. Natasha focused hard on not using her powers and screamed, her eyes turning pink for a for the duration of the scream as she contained her powers.

Nadi

What had she done to Liam?

She stared at her hands, shaking somewhat, as Lilith tried to calm him down. He looked terrible, and as she remembered him trying to get her away from him, she realized it was her doing. But how? Was this a new power? Could she not only not die, but also cause others to die? Had she sucked out his energy, and if she did, where did it go? Or had she simply accelerated his aging? She had no idea, and at this moment, was too confused about everything to really think too much into it.

Suddenly, Liam, Lilith, and a boy who had crashed into them disappeared, along with a crazy looking man. Immediately she thought that Liam had made them all invisible, but she quickly shut that idea down. How could he, in that state? He couldn't even keep himself invisible. Then....then where had they gone?

What was going on?

She heard a question. "Who are you?" She looked at the person who asked it, or at least who she thought had asked it. Where were they again? The hospital?

Was he asking her? She didn't know. She almost didn't care. Why the hell should she tell him? Hadn't he seen what had happened....what she thought she had done....no, what she was pretty sure she had done. How else would Liam have degraded so much? Why did they come here anyways? How did they even get here?

So many questions. The three remaining people, the guy who asked her the question, another guy, and a girl, were drawing nearer to her. She began to panic as her bubble was being pressed. Her space....she needed her space...Her breathing hitched. Her eyes grew wide.

"Get away!!" she shrieked as she scrambled to her feet. Her backpack, miraculously, was still with her, and she pulled out her pen-knife, holding it out in front of her. "Get...get away!" she repeated. Her practicality was returning, and she wasn't sure if one girl with a rinky-dinky knife could hold out against three people. She gathered her bearings and took a couple steps away, just to put some distance from them. "Who are you?" she demanded, "I want to know that first. And why am I here? And what happened to the four that were just here??" She pointed at the spot where Liam and Lilith just were with the knife hand briefly before pointing it back at the guy who had asked the question.

Liam

He went through the change of scenery in a haze of colors. He vaguely remembered Lilith's voice, but couldn't understand it. The white had turned to black, and ink started to cover his vision....

Until....slowly...the black receded. He blinked, and color returned. Another blink, and he could make out vague shapes. His breathing, previously labored, had deepened, and his chest didn't hurt anymore. His head was killing him, but at least his awareness was returning.

He felt something touch him, and Lilith asked: "Are you okay?"

He tried to move his head to see her, but movement seemed impossible at this moment, so he stayed put. He blinked again, and opened his mouth in an attempt to speak. Embarrassingly, a low, guttural sound was what came out, and he felt his cheeks warm up immediately. For whatever reason, a lump developed in his throat. He knew it would have been a stretch to expect speech at the state he was in, but he was still ashamed of himself. What was he expecting, anyways? He could barely hold a conversation at peak health. Why was he getting upset over this? It was irrational, stupid even, to feel this way, but even so, he couldn't stop feeling so....so inadequate. He swallowed down the lump and felt tears pricking at the corner of his eyes.

No. No. Last thing he needed to do was cry. Don't cry! There's nothing to be ashamed of! He tried again. This time....

Once again, the only sound he was able to make was an odd croaking, similar to the noise from before. Not an ounce of intelligence could be derived from that. He didn't even sound human.

He felt a tear roll. This was selfish. This was unrealistic. This was totally and utterly irrational of him. But he couldn't help it. For whatever reason, he felt so much shame and embarrassment culminate in this pathetic attempt at speech. He closed his eyes as the unwanted tears continued to fall, in a childish attempt to make himself unseen. At the very least, he didn't want to see anyone's reaction to him. He felt his body shake slightly. Great. Not only could he not make words, but he couldn't even control his movements voluntarily.
