A large room buzzed with the sound of computers being turned off. Their screens lit up the dark room as the last man to leave the room locked the door from the outside. The man's voice could be heard talking to someone on his cellphone as he disappeared down the hallway and the room grew very still. There was the sound of something moving in the ceiling and a tile was moved from the ceiling and feet dangled out. A girl quickly dropped down and silently landed on the floor. Her head popped up above one of the desks and she crawled over to one of the desks at the front of the room. She sat in the chair and pulled a piece of paper from her leather jackets pocket. On it were the passwords and directions about how to get onto the computer.
"Alright…seems easy." She muttered to herself as she typed in the password with her gloved hands and the computer whirred to life. With a heavy breathe, she plugged a USB drive into the computer tower and went about transferring data onto it. Just as the last file was being saved onto the USB, a guard came walking by and the sound of his keys unlocking the door made the girl's heart stop from fear. The elderly guard opened the door and turned on his flash light, scanning the room. He didn't see anything out of the ordinary, but something felt off. He walked into the room, flashing his light over each computer; working his way from the back of the room to the front. The girl was ducked behind on of the desks, her body squished between the desk and the wall. The guard made it up to the desk the girl was just at and the light landed on the computer.
"Huh? There's a USB thingy in the computer still." The guard bent over and pulled the USB from the tower and held it in his hand. The girl rolled her eyes and came out from behind the desk. Before the guard could even let out a word the girl shot out her hand and a huge gust of wind lifted the man off of his feet and forcing him against the wall on the opposite side of the room with such forced that it knocked him out. The girl rushed over to the guard and pried the USB out of his hand and then placed two fingers on his neck and stayed still for a moment.
"Still breathing…good….sorry…" The girl ran to the back of the room where the missing ceiling tile was and with the help from a gust of wind, the girl easily jumped up back into the ceiling and placed the tile back in its place. She got out of the building the same way she got in and a manhole cover came flying off in the middle of the parking lot. The girl climbed out and when she was standing on the cement and straightened her clothing, she looked at the USB. "That wasn't so difficult." She said and safely placed it in her pocket.
"That doesn't belong to you." A man's voice said. The girl turned around and saw a tall man standing there in all leather with thin red sunglasses across his eyes.
"I don't think it belong to you either." She scoffed and turned to walk away but standing on the other side of her was a tall, beautiful woman with long white hair. She was also in all leather and even had a cape.
"Give that to us." She held out her hand and the girl glared at her.
"No thanks." The girl twirled her finger and the wind around the three of them quickly picked up. The woman covered her eyes from the dirt and small rocks that were being flung around.
"Storm! Are you doing this?" The wind was getting so fast that the man had to yell to be heard. The beginnings of what looked like a mini twister was starting to form around the girl.
"No! And I can't seem to stop it!" The woman yelled back to him. The girl clapped her hands and the small twister quickly stretched into the sky and it was slowly dragging the two of them towards it. "SCOTT!" Storm yelled as she held out her arms, using her own powers to keep her grounded. Scott on the other hand was holding onto a car as his feet were slowly lifted off of the ground. The car was also getting dragged towards the twister until it suddenly stopped and the twister disappeared and the ait became calm. Scott dropped down onto the ground and Storm tried to fix her hair. The girl was gone and there was no sign of where she had run off to.
"She's gone." Scott ran his hand through his flopped brown hair and let out an agitated sigh. The sound of sirens and guards being called out filled the air. "Come out, let's get out of here." Scott and Storm ran off before they had to deal with the small army of guards that were going to come and grab them.
The girl landed on an apartment rooftop with a small thud and she clutched her side in pain. She was breathing heavily as she dragged herself towards a little shack that had been built on the rooftop.
"Way too much…energy…" She let out with a groan as she opened the shack door and staggered over to the mattress in the corner and fell onto it. It felt as if she could fall into a deep slumber in seconds, but she managed to force herself up and take off her jacket and go over to the portable record player and turn it on. Stevie Nicks played as she headed back to mattress and reached for her jacket, pulling out the USB. "I've had you for ten minutes and people already want you…what are you exactly?" She asked the USB as if it could answer her. Just as she started to relax, the doors to the shack were kicked open and standing there was a short, stocky man with spikey hair and a cigar hanging out of his mouth. He was wearing the same leather uniform as the people she met before. She jumped up into a sitting position and watched as the man casually walked in.
"Cozy." He commented as he looked around.
"Do you have any manners? Don't you know how to knock?" She yelled at the man, looking around to see if there was any way out of here. Using her powers was out of the question since she was still exhausted. The man scoffed and looked over to the record player.
"Stevie Nicks?" He asked, pointing over to the record.
"If you want to borrow it, you just have to ask." The girl said with a smirk on her face. The man took a long drag of the cigar and let out a large cloud of smoke from his thin lips.
"Okay kid, enough games. Hand over the USB." The man held out his hand and the girl let out a heavy sigh.
"You break into my home and then demand things from me? You really have no manners." She reached over and grabbed her jacket. The man clenched his fists and three large metal claws came out of each hand. "Calm down, I'm just getting my jacket. You kicked down my door so it's a little chilly in here." She put on her jacket but the man was still tense. "Why can't you people just leave me alone?!" The girl yelled, stretching her arm out at the guy and a huge gust of wind lifted him off his feet and sent him flying out of the shack and out into the middle of the rooftop. The girl clutched the USB tightly in her hand and bolted out of the shack and headed to the edge of the building. She stood on the ledge and looked down at the street below that was a terrifying far distance away.
"KID! STOP!" The man yelled out as he pulled himself to his feet. She looked back and gave him a little smirk and a wave before jumping off of the edge. "NO!" He yelled and ran over to the ledge only to see her flying back up onto the building beside him. She fell onto the roof top and came to a rolling stop.
"Shit." She muttered to herself as she clutched her shoulder in pain and she dragged herself up onto her feet. She looked over to the other building and saw the man standing there with a look of disbelief painted on his face. "Asshole!" She yelled up, giving him the middle finger before limping over to the fire escape and running down the metal stairs, stumbling like an idiot. She jumped down into the alley between the two buildings and stumbled towards the street when Scott stepped out in front of her and a flash of red light shot out at the garbage can beside her. She shielded herself from the blast as the garbage can exploded. She was sent flying onto the wall of the building, the force of the blow knocked her out.
"You didn't have to be so rough Scott, she's only a kid." Storm rushed over to the girls side and checked to see if she was hurt. She only had a little cut on the side of her face that didn't seem to be bleeding too badly.
"I don't like it when they run." Scott said and he walked over to her and picked her up in his arms and pulled the USB out of her pocket before handing it over to Storm. "Let's bring her back to the school and figure out what she has to do with all of this." Scott said and Storm agreed.
