Hi, so here is the sequel I promised! I hope you enjoy it; I have loads of cool and amusing Ideas so without further ado.
Also, if you just started reading this, it is the sequel to voices, so I suggest you read that first, it will make more sense that way.

P.S. Sorry if this is confusing to start with, it is meant to be that way, all will be explained in time
"You Idiot! What were you thinking? You could've got yourself killed! Have you any idea how worried I was? I swear if you weren't in a Hospital bed I would knock you into next week! You know we had to come all the way back here just because of you and your stupid selfish Quest! Dr Richards… I mean Reed and Sue were preparing for the wedding and everything! And have you any idea how hard it is to find a bridesmaid dress that goes with purple hair?" I ranted, pacing up and down in front of the pristine hospital bed. James looked across at me, his pale blonde hair sticking out at every angle, his heavily bandaged, electrical-burned arms, laid next to his hospital gown clad body, his face still had smudges of soot on it and there was an angry red patch above his left eyebrow.
Tears brimmed in his big brown eyes, as he gazed at me nervously. I sighed and walked over to the chair next to the bed and sat down.
"I'm sorry J, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean it, I promise, I was just so scared! You can't keep doing this to me!" I apologised, rubbing his hand. I leant forwards and flopped my head face first into the starched sheets, hating the smell and cried into the thin mattress, ignoring the metal bar that dug into my chin. I hated the smell of hospitals; it made me think of stuff.
My silent crying was interrupted by the click sound of heeled shoes across the scrubbed shiny floor.
"Miss Jones?" a female voice inquired, I lifted my head up and turned towards her, the nurse was a dark skinned black haired young woman with a smart pale purple uniform and her hair tied in a neat high pony tail. She looked like she was an intern or something.
"Yes" I acknowledged, she started, seeing my face.
"Y-you're…" she stuttered.
"Yes, I am Psy-girl!" I snapped angrily, "Could you please tell me what is going on with my brother?"
"C-certainly Miss" She stuttered again and looked down at her clipboard. "Other than a few second degree burns and a couple of cuts and bruises, James is fine; we're just waiting for the doctor to check him over then you should be free to go"
"Thank you" I replied, "I'm sorry if I come off a bit angry, I'm just worried about my brother"
I smiled at her apologetically; she looked around awkwardly and laughed nervously.
"I was wondering… I mean since you're here… you could… maybe… what I'm trying to say is… um… can I have your autograph?" she stuttered even more than before and handed me her clipboard, turning the page over to reveal a blank piece. I took it, smiling weakly, and the pen from her other outstretched hand I wrote the now well practiced squiggle I had dubbed my 'Superhero Signature' and added a couple of stars for effect. I handed the board and pen back to her, she squealed and ran off. A nearby nurse looked at her disapprovingly and walked over.
"I'm sorry about that" the nurse, a pale skinned man with brown hair and a light blue uniform.
"It's ok, I get it a lot" I assured him.
At the Airport – Several hours earlier
I sat with my head in my hands, on the cold plastic chair of the waiting area. Why do these things always happen to me? I thought sorrowfully. We had to get back to New York early just because my stupid idiot brother had to continue his stupid idiotic quest for powers! Sure we would've been leaving tomorrow anyway, but still! I look around the Airport, it is packed with people, people leaving, people arriving and people welcoming other people, but their all just normal, they have no idea what it's like not to be, and trust me, I can prove it.
Their normal people walking around with normal lives, but me, I'm not normal, I have to get caught in a cosmic storm and get superpowers, I then have to find out that my best (and only) friend is also a superhero, then get kidnapped and blackmailed by the same person whose space station I was on and yeah, all of that. And now to top it all off I now have a little brother who is so obsessed with superpowers that he has to try endless suicidal attempts to get them! I mean seriously, who does that? And an electric transformer? What was he thinking?
Well at least it was better than the Chemical thing, and the lightening fiasco, and getting caught breaking into a genetics lab! Seriously, the press had a field day! I could seriously write a book on the number of ways he's tried! (A/N Hi, I was thinking about writing a spin off thing about this, please tell me what you think or if you have ideas XD) Although it's kind of hard to stay mad at him for long, for a twelve year old he is freakishly good at puppy dog eyes!
And another thing, I keep getting these weird headaches and feeling strange presence, Dr Ri… Sorry Reed says it's probably just an evolution thing with my powers or something. Reed, not Dr Richards, I can't get that into my head! He says I should call him by his name now since technically I'm not an intern anymore, I'm more like a sort of part time residential scientist sort of thing, it's kind of hard to explain. Ahh, I wish we could hurry up and get on the stupid plane! I look round to where D…Reed and Sue are standing nearby talking about something, probably wedding plans, although you'd think by the fourth time they would've got the hang of it, Ben is a little further away lifting children in the air while their parents take photos and Jonny is sitting a couple of seats down from me, thinking about whatever it is he thinks about (I'd rather not know). I start actually paying attention as an official looking guy in a suit comes up to us. He informs us that we will have to fly coach with all the other people. Great! I think sarcastically. We sit and wait a while longer until there is an announcement and we troop to get on the plane. I look at my ticket and find my place, a window seat luckily. I sit down and gaze out the window at the grey tarmac. Just as the plane is taking off I realise that Jonny isn't with us, but I just dismiss it as the Jet bursts through the clouds. After a while I see him circling the plane, I roll my eyes and look in the other direction. I'd much rather be out there flying that cooped up in here with all these people, but my telekinesis wouldn't hold the whole way, I can only fly short distances of a few miles or so before collapsing or something. Jonny flips onto his back and flies alongside the plane, right outside the window where Ben is sitting; this is going to be a long flight.
Several hours and twenty minutes later – Back at the Hospital
"… You'll need to check in with your GP and these bandages will need replacing every few hours, we'll schedule a check-up in a week or so, but other than that your free to go!" the dark haired nurse from earlier informed me. James was now sitting on the edge of the bed, his arms tightly bandaged and his hair now slightly less wild. He looks at me and smiles, I take his hand, the one that is slightly less bandaged, and help him off the bed.
"So, ready to brave the masses?" I ask.
"Ready as I'll ever be" He grins, "One of the drawbacks of having a Celebrity for a Sister!"
"I told you, we're Scientists, not Celebrities!" I correct him.
"Whatever you say" he replies smiling mockingly.
"You have been spending way too much time with Jonny" I complain rolling my eyes, "Come on, let's get out of here!"
As predicted, the front of the Hospital was flooding with reporters, the Hospital security were able to clear enough room for James and I to exit the building, but it was impossible to do so without getting microphones thrust into our faces. I took a deep breath and stepped through the large glass doors. I was immediately hit with a barrage of questions and flashing cameras.
"Psy-girl, Can you tell us about the Dress you're wearing for the wedding?" a reporter from the middle of the crowd shouted.
"Is it true Spiderman is invited?" another voice asked
"Do you think your brother will be up to the wedding?" a woman near the front pushed forwards
"Tell me, what is it like to have an iconic hero as a sister?" this was directed a James.
"Do you have any comment on the recent occurrences in Japan and Egypt?"
"No comment" I said shortly, I turned and picked up James who wrapped his heavily bandaged arms round my neck tightly and his legs round my waist, he was really getting a bit heavy for this, I thought as I held him tightly and, concentrating, I lifted us both off the ground and took off over the sea of reporters, dotted with camera flashes.
Later – At the Baxter Building
I sat on a stool next to James's bed, re-doing his bandages while he lay awkwardly on his Cars Duvet cover. I had done a pretty thorough first aid course since Sue had thought it a good idea if at least one of us could administer emergency medical treatment, not anything serious, just injuries like gashes or broken limbs, so I was relatively qualified for this sort of thing, the news was playing softly in the background. Something on the screen caught my eye; I stopped bandaging and picked up the remote, turning up the volume I listened intently.
Some scientists are saying volcanic activity was the cause of the mysterious solidification of Tokyo bay, but some eyewitnesses report seeing a strange silver comet before the event happened. Also there is apparently no explanation of how the pyramids at Giza are now covered in three inches of snow, and there have also been reports of this 'silver comet' all over the world, shortly followed by all sorts of strange occurrences. In other news…
The newsreader went on to talk about the preparations for the wedding, I rolled my eyes at the TV before muting it, well at least you can rely on the media to warn us of any possible near apocalypses… I though sarcastically and continued wrapping James's arm. Something on the news report seemed strangely familiar, but I couldn't place it, I frowned slightly.
"So, you gunna go all geeky on me now?" James asked cheekily.
"Right, though you've got to admit it's strange, something is affecting matter at a subatomic level, and he was giving off cosmic rays not unlike the ones that gave us our powers" I contemplated, James looked at me strangely.
"Not to sound strange or anything, or that I know what you're saying but how do you know that and why did you call it a he?" he asked worriedly, I gasped, how did I know it? I can't have just seen something on the news and known that much, it wasn't even mentioned? What on earth was happening? Suddenly I felt a sharp pain in my temple, my hand flew to my head and my legs gave way. I screamed but no sound came out, and my vision went blank. Strange images flicked past my vision faster than I could properly comprehend, a man covered entirely in silver, a flash of orange I guessed to be Jonny and a massive cloud in space and finally an explosion that seemed to engulf the entire earth then darkness.
So, first chapter! I hope you enjoyed it! Some things are still to be explained so hang on; all will be explained in time… I think.
