I hope you like it, I know Ben may be OOC but I don't care. He seems like the kinda guy I'm portraying him as (or at least gonna try to.) Please tell me what you think by reviewing or PMing me. I'd love to hear your thoughts. And another thing, if someone knows the episodes word for word would you be a dear and type it up for me? I can remember most of what they say but sometimes I can't. I would like the conversations to be as accurate as possible, so if anyone would like to be my Beta Reader for this story I would apperciate it very much.}

And so the Invasion begins...
[Skylar's POV]
"Keep running!" I shouted to my self inside my head. "Daphne needs me!" I pushed my legs forward. I reached the hospital where those alien spiders took my sister to. I hid behind an abandoned car and waited for the mechanical hum of the large robot to fade. After it did so I crept to the back of the building and found a door. I tried the handle, but it had been locked. I rolled my eyes. "Typical. These things make it too easy." I kicked the door down forcefully. The robot rushed back to where I was. I punched a hole straight through it. I noticed people staring at me from behind an abandoned car next to a ditch. I smirked to myself an dashed inside. I hid behind a wall as three of the spider aliens came to investigate the door. I flung a shuriken at the base of their skull, killing each silently and effortlessly. I gathered my shuriken and sprinted steathly through the halls. I made it to the Children's ward of the hospital and found the room where the harnessed children were being kept. The alien was sleeping ever so peacefully on top of the children. I opened the door without a sound and threw a shuriken at the beasts open mouth. That alien would never wake up from it's peaceful slumber. The children woke from their sleep and started trying to wake the alien. Except for one. A tall dark haired boy, maybe a few years older than me stood and turned to me. I spotted Daphne and went to her side. I pulled her up and practically dragged her towards the door. A blonde woman and and older dark haired man stood in the door way. They all worked together getting the kids out of there. I even helped. When we safely got the children into a pickup truck they had stashed away I decided to speak. But the older man beat me to it.
"I'm Tom Mason, second in command of the Second Mass, and who might you be?" Tom asked me. An asian man started up the truck and began to drive, Tom, the blond, the dark haired boy, me and the harnessed kids were in the back.
"Skylar Grant, that's my sister, Daphne." I said pointing to the girl next to Tom.
"I'm Hal Mason." The Dark haired boy said.
"I'm Maggie. You've got some nice moves kid. What's your secret?" the blond asked.
"Mutated DNA mixed with a few radioactive chemicals." I replied. Maggie gave me the 'are you kidding me?' look.
"Sounds like you've got quite the backstory." Tom said. I nodded.
"So which one is yours?" I asked Tom. Tom smiled.
"How about you guess, if your right you can join the 2nd Mass and we can remove that harness off your sister?" Tom asked. My eyes widened at the offer.
"Alright. You've got yourself a deal." I smirked. I studied each of the kids carefully. One stuck out the most though. He had sandy blond hair, and a real cute face. He looked about my age. Though his eyes were extremely dilated I could tell they we a light green color.
"That one is yours." I said pointing to the boy. The boy was staring at me very intensely, more so than normal.
"Welcome to the 2nd Mass." Maggie smiled. I returned the smile.
"What's his name?" I asked.
"Ben." Tom answered. Maggie noticed the staring.
"Uh, anyone else notice Ben's staring at Skylar very intently?" She asked. Hal and Tom studied Ben for a moment.
"Yeah, compared to the other kids he seems pretty focused on one thing." I said. Hal laughed.
"Still harnessed and has a crush." He said. I blinked.
"It is odd though... the staring I mean... maybe it's a sign he will remember?" Maggie offered with a smile. Tom smiled and nodded. The Asian man stopped the truck on JFK Highschool grounds. I helped the people get the kids to a chemistry lab where a kind woman started scrambling around trying to get the kids medication. Of course I used my ability to heal to keep their vitals stable. I focused on that more than anything else, though my unconscious body was helping Tom lift the harness off of Ben's back. The woman, now known as Anne used a blow torch to cut through the metal spikes tat attached the harness to the children. The operations went one after the other, until finally Daphne was the last one to de-harness. I helped lift her up and sat her on the table. Lourdes, Anne's assistant checked her vitals.
"Her heart rate is dropping!" Lourdes warned. I had been focusing to much on the other kids to realize Daphne would have to have more power focused on her. Anne successfully removed the harness.
"Her pulse is gone!" Lourdes paniced. Anne started CPR and Lourdes used a breathing tube to no avail. Anne stopped the CPR and Lourdes stopped the air pump. Tom put a hand on my shoulder. I sat my hand on top of Daphne's head and focused my power on her. Her heart began to beat and she was gasping for air.
"SKYLAR WHAT THE HECK?" She yelled at me. I rolled my eyes. Tom, Anne, Lourdes and the older man Scott stood in shock.
"What just happened?" Anne asked.
"She was dead..." Lourdes added.
"I forgot I had to use more energy healing Daphne, since she has mutated DNA as well." I said as if it were plain as day.
"YOU COULD HAVE WARNED ME!" Daphne ranted as she sat up. I shook my head.
"You were dead baka* you wouldn't have heard me." I said. Daphne calmed down.
"I ain't no baka ya baka." she retorted. I rolled my eyes.
"I'm Skylar, this is my sister Daphne. We were looking for our dad when Daph got her self kidnapped." I explained to the 2nd Mass leader Captain Daniel 'Dan' Weaver.
"And just who might this father of your be?" he asked, his voice was rough and gravelly sounding.
"I only know him by name, John Pope. Have you heard of him?" I asked. Tom and Weaver did a double take.
"Come again?" Weaver said. I sighed.
"John Pope, have you heard of him?" I repeated.
"He's been a pain in the 2nd Mass' rump for quite sometime now, but he isn't here anymore." Weaver answered.
"Oh. I see." I said quietly. Tom cleared his throat.
"I offered her and her sister a place in the 2nd Mass, she's a really good fighter. She took out a whole Mech and four Skitters by herself." Tom said. Weaver looked impressed.
"Alright, she'll be bunking in your class room, her sister as well. Now soldier, tell me, how did you beat the Mech?" Weaver asked. I shrugged.
" I punched it." I replied. Weaver blinked a few times.
"Tom? She didn't get pricked with any of them harnesses did she?" Weaver asked. Tom shook his head.
"I was experimented on as a child. My adoptive father mutated my DNA and mixed it with a few radioactive chemicals that stimulate brain and muscle development. That's how I have so much strength, enhanced senses and reflexes and I can heal. The the older I get the more the DNA has time to mutate and develop more abilities. The only side effects are insomnia and my irises change color depending on which part of my brain I am using." I explained.
"And your sister has this as well?" Tom asked. I nodded.
"Not as much as I do though, her DNA was mutated to stimulate brain development and function. So basically her powers are more discrete than mine." I replied.
"Like ESP?" Tom asked. I nodded.
"Telepathy, ESP, Telekinesis, many different powers that use the mind." I added. Tom and Weaver nodded.
"Alright, I want you guarding the deharnessed kids tonight and tomorrow, understood?" Weaver ordered. I nodded.
"Yes, sir." I said. Weaver nodded and waved Tom and I out of the room. Tom and I walked back to the Chemistry lab. Hal and a little boy sat beside Ben. Tom walked over and sat the boy on his lap. Tom then smiled at me.
"Matt this is Skylar, Skylar this is my youngest son Matt." he introduced. I smiled at Matt.
"Hi there" I said. Matt smiled and blushed.
"Hi." he said shyly. Hal and Tom chuckled a little. Anne walked inside the room and went to the operating table to clean up. Tom walked over to her and they talked for a little while. "I am sensing some romance between them two."
"Dad!" Hal whisper-yelled. Tom rushed over. Ben was waking up only a few hours after the harness removal.
"Dad?" Ben asked looking up at Tom. Tom smiled.
"I'm here Ben." Tom said. Ben looked exhausted, from the medicine dosage no doubt. Ben then turned and looked at me, which was odd. He stared at me for quite sometime.
"Sky?" he asked quietly before falling back asleep. "How did he know my name? I've never met him before! Seriously! I'm from South Carolina! He is from Boston, how does he know me?"
