Gwen's POV
I'm not normal.
How many times have I said that now? I can't recall because I tell this to myself every day since my power turned up.
I haven't had human contact since that day, and for awhile now I haven't had a proper friend.
Except at that school.
How long has it been now?
A couple of days since the whole Glison Academy incident?
Try a year and a half.
You might think I'm with my family, home safe again, pretending this whole thing never happened. Sorry to break it to you, I'm not.
I'm searching for the person who is putting all of us, all Power People in danger. Noah.
The thing about Noah is that he wants all normal people, or Norms, to pay. To pay for what I don't know. You were never good at finding out facts Gwen the voice of Courtney echoed in my head.
Yeah, the voices are still there, the only company I've had over the last few months. Yeah, I'm living the life. Hey! Don't say that about us! Leshawna told me I've been here for you girl, your stupid common sense seems to have been taken over by Duncan.
I only tell her what to do half the time Duncan commented.
Guys! I yell in my head as I roll over in my sleep, Shut up! I don't want have to listen to all of you so early in the morning.
No way! Izzy shrieked in my head as I groaned as I rubbed my eyes, Get up! Get up! Get up! Get up! Get up! It's a new day and you have a fast body! Go eat and drink and find Noah, go on do it! Wake up and see the day!
Fine! I yell back, ripping the sheets off my body I'm up you little idiot! I go over to the shower and turn it on the hot water until it scolds my body, all I got to do is hook up the electricity with Cody's power and I got electricity and hot water.
Okay, back to what I've done to find Noah. Over the whole time I have been searching for him I have found nothing but a few blurry pictures of Noah. I have had leads, I have had hunches, but they all lead me to dead ends.
I try asking people who know stuff, my old friends, other people with powers, but I never get much. Anyone that Noah meets usually end up staying with him or dead. So you can guess how hard it is to try and find him and his team. I get out of the shower and dry my hair and slip on my underwear, then pull on my other clothes as I walk around the house.
I looked around my temporary home, an old abounded house on the outskirts of the city, the dead grass outside making me think of my power. It's scheduled to be knocked down soon so I had better leave, but this has been my home for a good 4 months now, the longest I've stayed in one place.
I yawned as I walked into what used to be a living room, but I had taken over it, the only thing someone would recognise as technology was my laptop next to my cell phone and an old cup of coffee. The rest of the room was unrecognisable as it was covered with newspaper articles, blurry pictures, ID files, and lists upon lists of people I have checked on. Red crosses on those who are dead.
There is a lot of red, but there is the ever growing list of people. So it kind of evens out.
I've been to all their funerals. Seen their crying families, wondering why on earth their kid was killed. And for those who had their powers turn up in front of their parents before they died, I was the only one there most of the time.
So you can see why I have to stop Noah.
I don't know what my aim is exactly, but I just want us to live peacefully and if we happen to expose ourselves I want it to be peaceful, nothing from what I think Noah is expecting.
Before I left, I told the others I would contact them when I found Noah and that we would have to get back together to defeat him, none of us could do it alone, and even one of the powerful groups that keeps Power People 'safe' couldn't do it, Radical Action Wardens, also known as R.A.W.
R.A.W had grown stronger over the last 18 months, there were no traces anywhere. But I think it might be because of the 3 people they hired. And they really are radical wardens, taking down those who might expose us.
I have been keeping track of the others, following them in a way. Stalking them, as some people say.
I remembered when I first tracked down one of my old friend, about 12 months ago I first found Lindsay.
oOOo
I looked down at the ipad in my hand, right now I had a file up about Lindsay Kelly, it had her true form in the picture but at the bottom of the file it had a few picture of her favourite forms she liked to take.
I was trying to find Lindsay, from what I could find about her, she was living in France for at least 4 months now. I knew she must know something, she may be stupid but Noah could have whispered some information to her, thinking she wouldn't remember. But with my power I could find out everything she thought, remembered and her power.
And not that I'm using her, but her power will be useful for finding people and keeping me hidden.
I waited patiently outside of a rich hotel, using Harold's power of smell to try and figure out Lindsay's unique smell of perfume which was her scent. Person after person left the hotel and I waited, a woman with long auburn hair left the hotel, Lindsey had learnt a lot over the last couple of months, she no longer acted like herself, her steps were perfect and she spoke in fractured French. But I knew it was her.
I got up from my seat and walked across the street, following her, she dropped something on the ground, a hair brush. She didn't even notice, I ran over to it and picked it up, taking a single hair off it and licking it. Don't think I'm gross, I can taste DNA, I had make sure it's her before I chase her.
Yeah, it's her.
But she turned around at that moment I looked at her and I saw her recognise me, then she walked faster, trying to get away from me. I started to walk after her, the people coming less frequently, the streets getting darker and darker. Defiantly her, who would be stupid enough to get herself cornered. I walked after her slowly, no need to worry, she wouldn't get away from me.
Lindsay ran into the alley way, but when she discovered it ended suddenly she turned around and looked at me in a panic. "Qui est vous, que voulez-vous?" she asked me. Hm, I guess as one last favour to Lindsay, Noah gave her knowledge on the French language. I wonder if he had a reason to do this, or simply because he wanted to see if he could do it?
"Shut it Lindsay, I know it's you"
"Je ne sais pas de quoi vous parlez!" she yelled at me.
I sighed, I had better things to do then play this game with her. So I simply walked up to her, took off my glove and touched her face. I watched as she fell to the ground, changing back to her normal blonde bimbo form, and I discovered something. Lindsay knew nothing, she knew nothing of the others except were Beth lived.
Kind of useful. And the whole French thing? Yeah, Noah put this knowledge in her mind, I actually think Lindsay slept with him and he felt a little guilty so he gave her a gift and some money to get here.
"Waste of my time" I muttered, putting my glove back on and leaving Lindsay in the alley way, I got out my phone to call the hospital to tell them about Lindsay when I heard to chilling voices. Voices I never want to hear.
In a panic, I fly up to a small balcony over Lindsay and watched as two people entered the ally way. "What the hell happened?" one of the voices asked in a male tone.
"How should I know" a female voice responded, then they stepped into the light.
Courtney and Duncan, aka, Frostbite and Burn.
I wonder what they are doing in France? And in this part of Paris?
oOOo
I logged onto my computer and typed in my password, then a million files turned up at once, one of them labelled the new R.A.W agents. The people I used to call friends had gone to the other side, thinking they were good and just by bringing in people and keeping them in R.A.W they were better on some level, leaving out people who didn't cause trouble, just those who risked exposing us all.
Lindsay had a small problem with changing in public, from what I could remember, it was only a matter of time before she was taken in, I was just lucky to get there before Frostbite and Burn.
The people at R.A.W test on Power People, stretching them to their limits or trying to figure out how a power worked for god knows why. Courtney and Duncan had joined soon after I left them, from files I could hack I saw that they had stopped testing on Duncan because he had already reached his full power plus he was a good agent. But they still hadn't completed tests on Courtney. On my computer I saw a picture of Courtney turning around on screen. They recently changed Courtney and Duncan's outfits.
And Duncan looks pretty good, I would so tap that.
Anyway, Duncan was in a black body suit, boots and his legendary skull on the front of the suit and a long trench coat with fingerless gloves. He still had his green hair and his piercings but he just looked. I don't know, unhappy, in the file picture I had of him.
Courtney looked pretty good as well. Her costume was more revealing, she still had long white boots but now she had her whole mid driff of her stomach exposed, and her long sleeved shirt was now cut off from the shoulder leaving her collar bone and shoulders exposed with her cape hanging behind her and long white gloves.
And she looked brave but scared, large bags visible under the makeup, records next to her name said she still had a long way to go before they would stop testing her. I felt slightly sorry for her, but I will not forget the way she used me, trying to use me for my powers.
oOOo
The bringers of pain looked over Lindsay, before Courtney bent down and felt her pulse. "She's alive"
"Thank god for that, but who the hell knocked her out and just left her here?" Duncan asked, getting out a phone from his pocket.
"I don't know" Courtney mused, standing up again "She's pretty slippery, remember that time she almost tricked you Duncan?" she asked, looking over at him. He stopped dialling the number and looked at her, but she simply raised an eyebrow and left it at that. "It doesn't matter now, just call up Harold and have her taken in. I want her out of the picture!"
Courtney stalked off into the other direction, leaving Duncan in the alley way, he looked after her and I saw a white bandage slipping from under her shirt, but he simply went back to trying to contact Harold. So I took off.
oOOo
That wasn't the only time I saw Courtney and Duncan, and heard more about Harold. They were the new team of R.A.W, taking down those who were going to expose them. I only wonder why they haven't caught me yet. Might be because I move around so much.
Bridgette, DJ, Geoff, Izzy and Owen had the same idea. DJ is off with his Mom, travelling around and never stopping for long. I've only met him once in my travels and he seemed pretty frantic. I have never seen Izzy, but from what I can track and research about her, that she travels fast. Well duh, of course she would travel fast.
I clicked onto a file of Izzy that I had, it took me awhile to find but it was a security camera footage from Australia. She was running in the vast desolate land, she was so fast that she was only a blur of green. She stopped suddenly in the outback but didn't notice a high security building, cameras were everywhere and she stopped in front of the building.
"Come and Get me" she yelled at the camera. Her grinning face a mess of dirt, her hair slowly coming loose of her bun. She then grinned and ran off again, but not before she left 'We shall rise again' in giant letters all over the building's walls.
Of course after that it was harder to track her, Courtney and Duncan were on her as well, but she had no concern for me. I don't know where she is, but I know someone who can contact her, who can contact all of us. Cody, the master mind with gadgets is able to find anyone, that's why he is so important for Courtney and Duncan, if they find him then they can find us. All of us.
I mean, how many people don't have some sort of electrical gadget on them? A cell phone is like a tracking chip with him. I'm just lucky he hasn't squealed yet, because if he has then we are screwed.
The reason he himself hasn't been found because he sends out fake files with his where abouts on them, eventually R.A.W got sick of going to the wrong place so they simply ignore him now.
Cody helps me out by sending me files when he sees one that might interest me, but I spend most of my days looking up files and I already have the documents he sends me, I have the most files about anyone, I then go out to try and find them.
But so far they are hard to track.
Bridgette and Geoff are some of the harder ones, they joined a circus a while back, a circus full of people like us. "The Powerful People of Prussia" they call themselves, a smart trick and funny gimmick, people travel to see them, marvelling at the wonderful 'tricks'. It's like one of those really expensive shows, where the tent isn't red and yellow, but dark and mysterious, the lights flicker slightly and there are no big spot lights. Something is always going on and the show is artistic, something I would so go to.
Geoff is an acrobat and Bridgette is a beautiful water Goddess in their show. People even take their picture with her after the show, who can do make up that well that will stay on even under water for that long? I tracked them down eventually.
It was after I absorbed Lindsay and so I came as my brother, who Bridgette or Geoff have never met, I don't know how the others will react to me, but if it's anything like Lindsay or Beth (who simply flew off) then I don't get much of a first chance.
oOOo
I was sitting on the edge of my seat the entire show, the circus was amazing! I have actually never been to one before so this was my first time. Geoff was artistic, moving around the room with uncharacteristic ease. I know that he has this sort of way of not being able to be hurt as easily as normal people but Geoff was pushing his body to the extreme.
Of course he never showed his body was stretching to grab onto that handle bar when he missed by a few inches, but to my trained eye (and Harold's power) I could see him stretch a few inches so he wouldn't fall to his death.
But Geoff was amazing, swinging another fairy winged girl through the air. Then Bridgette came out onto the small platform, her blue body clad in a sort of mixed teal bikini, sort of like sea-weed draped over her body. Her long hair was out and wavy around her back. She smiled softly up at the crowd then looked over the stage, then she jumped off the side into a tank below.
I'm just glad I'm not sitting in the front as they were splashed with water. She didn't resurface and simple moved around in the water, coming close to the side of the tank and looking creepy, meanwhile they had people dance around the tank, all were wearing a simple blue outfit, shimmering in the semi-darkness of the room. Then Bridgette jumped out of the water with speed, coming high above of what a normal person could ever hope to do, then she fell back into the water.
To say that my mouth wasn't open after the show was a lie. I ran out after the show and ducked around the entrance of the tent, changing into one of the tank dancers as I went. I looked around quickly, then saw that some of the girls were going around the back of the tent. I ran after them and followed, what I came across at the hidden part of the circus was amazing (but I've seen it before).
People out back are all Power People! Someone was blowing bubbles as they spoke, another was giving a faint glow, others were stretching like Geoff, while some where floating. But the thing I noticed about the majority of them is that they wore no make up yet they looked a little strange. A twinge of green hair and skin, or wings that connected to the back.
Then I saw a flicker of dark blue in the midst of light blue and green silk and I ran over to see Bridgette pulling back a curtain and walking into a sort of back alley. I followed her out and saw that she was walking back to the crowd. I saw her smiling as she neared the loud sound of people. She pulled back another curtain and glare of harsh light and smell of people came over me. I changed back into my original body and watched as Bridgette interacted with the people.
"Can we get a picture with you?" someone asked Bridgette.
"Sure!" she said happily, holding out her arms for two small kids to run to her arms as she bent down and smiled. The kids laughed and thanked Bridgette and ran off.
I walked up behind her and whispered into her ear, "Watch it Bubbles, you might get a bit dehydrated soon if you don't put on your apparatus"
She turned around and squeaked. "What are you doing here?" she hissed. She smiled once more before she backed me out into the alley way again, the noises muffled slightly, "Gwen, what are you doing? I thought you were dead or something?"
"Alive and well" I said, putting a hand on her shoulder "But I'm worried about you. Do you know anything about the others?"
She shook her head "Nothing really. All I know is that DJ is travelling with his Mama, Harold joined up with R.A.W last year, Trent is pretending he's normal by making a singing career and Leshawna comes and sees the show every time we are in her town"
"You know about Courtney and Duncan right?" I asked.
"Yeah, I thought she was our friend?" Bridgette asked.
"When I reached into her mind I saw she was using me. She wanted to know more about me but when she saw me hanging out with Duncan she wanted me dead, I haven't run into her yet, thank god, but she is mad."
"Shit, I thought she was cool"
"She's as cold as ice but she's not cool. Anyway, I just came here to find out anything you know about Noah"
"Sorry, I know zip" she apologised.
I sighed and dropped my hand, turning around and starting to make my way out of the tent, turning into one of the dancers again. "That's alright. Nice seeing you again, If you want to contact me just type my name into your phone and you will reach me...good luck with the show and I think it's time for you to move onto the next town"
"Why? We just got here?" she asked in confusion.
I held up my phone and showed her a new message from Cody "Because Frostbite and Burn are coming to see a show" I smiled.
oOOo
The second I left and got into my truck I saw the tent being pulled down, they had almost no time to try and move on. But from what I could see, having someone with super strength or people who can fly can really can be useful.
If R.A.W ever finds them they will all be put away, they are showing their powers in plain sight and not trying to cover it at all, they had been able to keep themselves one step ahead for so long because of many reasons, one being that they move quickly from town to town, the other because they have someone who can create illusions and they use him to keep R.A.W occupied until the circus has moved far away or something bigger has taken R. attention. The only reason that Courtney and Duncan even joined R.A.W was to keep everyone safe.
I think Duncan just joined it for the violence personally. I will burn his sorry ass when I see him again. Every time I came close to finding one of the others
Courtney and Duncan are right on my tale. But I never want to verse them, I'm not as strong and I can't use powers at the same time. Look, my power may lead you to believe that I am a killer, but I'm really not. I won't kill. Ever.
But from what I have seen and heard about Courtney and Duncan they have killed people, I don't know how many, but they are not opposed to killing me if I ever show weakness.
I typed on my computer for an hour, just looking up file after file of people. Learning languages, looking up new power people who crop up, research them to see if they know about Noah at all. I soon got cramps on my fingers so I decided a run somewhere where it would do me good, get lunch from Mexico or something.
I grabbed my leather jacket and gloves, then I put on a pair of dark shades so I wouldn't get bugs in my eyes (bad experience, now I know why Izzy wears those professional super glasses) then I opened my door, I summoned up Izzy's speed, thinking fast thoughts, got to go, got to go. And then I started to run and I was half way down the street in a second.
I know why Izzy just keeps running, it's just so free. I kept running for an hour, only pushing myself to the limit when I had to run on water, but soon enough I was in Mexico. I don't know, might make a day trip here. Seems fun.
oOOo
I'm tired.
No, not just tired.
I'm exhausted.
It was some sort of holiday or festival or something in Mexico and I stayed and partied for a few hours. Of course it was dark now and I still had to get back to the place where I was staying. So downing a last shot I pulled my jacked closer and took off, everyone around me so drunk that a snail going past them is fast.
I felt a bit woozy but with the combination of Tyler's healing power and Izzy's speed the alcohol was processing fast, but hey, I'm a teenager, I'm still going to get a bit of a buzz. Halfway across America, Ohio or something, I started to feel sick.
I stopped running and ducked into an alley way to throw up. "Ugh!" I coughed, throwing up some more. Fuck, my life is so sad.
Party hard by myself, no one here to hold back my hair while I throw up. I coughed a couple of times then hobbled back onto the main road. "Shake if off Gwen" I told myself, shaking my body to try and wake up. "Fuck" I muttered.
I started to run off again but as I got closer to Canada I started to feel sick, got to keep running, just keep running, just keep running. I didn't see the rock in my path and I tripped. "AH!" I yelled out, hitting my chin on the ground. "Mother-"
"What's that?" someone asked.
Oh fuck! Oh fuck what am I going to do, there is someone here and if they find me then I am so screwed. I tried to pick myself off the ground but I couldn't get up, I just fell to the ground again, I can make myself invisible then just wait until my ankle has healed with Tyler's power. "I'll check it out" the voice said.
I tried to make myself invisible but I couldn't manage to concentrate and just turned parts of my body invisible instead of my whole body. They are going to see me, they are going to see me, oh crap! I shut my eyes, waiting for someone to find me.
"Gwen?" someone asked, yanking me up by my arm, I kept my eyes closed as the person shook me slightly "What the hell do you think you are doing?"
I cracked open an eye to see a very confused Trent looking at me, "Uh, hi?"
"Yeah hi to you too, but I'm sorry, are you still into near death experiences or something?"
"No! What are you talking about? I live with death everyday" I asked, Trent rolled his eyes and dragged me over to the side of his building and into the darkness. He was starting to worry me so I tried to shake off the tipsy-ness and change the subject.
"What are you doing in America?" I asked, holding a hand to my head.
"I'm here for my music, and don't change the subject. You have to get out of here Gwen" he said in a horse whisper, shaking my arms again.
"Why? Just got here, didn't I?"
"It's not that, I was hanging with a friend I met at the school and Courtney and Duncan just turned up out of nowhere. It happens every now again, 'checking in' with me, but it pisses me off because half the time they are just asking if I know where you are"
"Me? What the hell did I do?"
"I don't know, but it's not good. You have to get out of here" he said. Suddenly the door opened and Trent pushed me to the ground, making me graze my elbows which healed in a few seconds.
"You okay Trent? What was the noise?" I heard someone ask, I lifted my head slightly, making it invisible (the only part I could manage) and say the legendary green Mohawk.
"Nothing much man, just some cat. Hey can you give me a sec? Just want to get some fresh warm air, you know how Courtney gets when she's upset"
Duncan simply laughed and started to close the door "Yeah, she could freeze the ass of a penguin. Be back soon okay, we have to get out of here and get back to work." He then shut the door and Trent sat back down next to me again. Inside I could hear someone yelling and then someone yelling back. They hadn't changed at all, I see.
"Thanks for saving my ass" I muttered.
"No problem." He then paused as I stared at my glove. Me and Trent had a sort of thing, I don't know if we still have it but this is not the time to ask him. Even if I wanted to have a relationship with him I can't, that's the price I have to pay. "Get out of here while you can. You absorbed Cody's power and that's just as good as Cody, plus Courtney still finds you interesting, she would give anything to have you in the agency. Get out while you can"
From inside I heard someone yelling "Duncan! He could be lying! Go get him!" Courtney yelled.
"I'd better be going" I said, standing up quickly "Thanks for helping me out. And be ready for the call" I said.
"Always waiting" he said before I took off.
oOOo
I was waiting in my room again, simply pacing up and down, up and down.
I was thinking about what was happening, Courtney, Duncan and Harold had totally abandoned our kind. Noah was the head of a group that wanted to kill all normal people and Chris, Katie, Sadie, Justin and Eva are his team. Beth, Trent and Leshawna are trying to lead normal lives, Ezekiel has dropped off the face of the earth and lives at home again, Heather has been caged up, Bridgette and Geoff are in a circus, DJ is travelling with his mama. Cody is M.I.A, Lindsay, Tyler and Owen are taken in by R.A.W and Izzy is somewhere in the world.
Now have I forgotten anyone?
I tapped my teeth with my fingers.
Everyone is everywhere, I still keep in communication and seek the others out when I need to talk to them. But I haven't had a friend in months.
I need to find Noah, find Noah and I get my life back, find Noah and this whole thing is over. I've been focused on this mission for a year and a half and yet the only evidence I have of Noah at all is the fuzzy memories of others and a grainy picture of him.
Eva had punched out every camera that saw her, Katie and Sadie made fake duplicates of themselves and sent them all over the world, throwing me off my trail time and time again, Justin made me forget things if I stared into his eyes for too long, he does this when I think I come close to Noah's hide out, thankfully due to my power I pull away in time and get out of there fast before Noah's army of the damned will get me.
And when I think I find Noah hanging out, trying to get new people for his group, Chris teleports him somewhere else. Ah! It's so frustrating to know that he can turn up anywhere in the world at the blink of an eye. From clues and memories that I have found I can see that people living on the street or criminals that have powers Noah has been bringing them over to join his side.
They are nice people who have been kicked out of homes because they scare their parents, Justin then mind wipes the parents and the parents forget they have children. I have been searching and searching, but I have never even come close to Noah.
"AAAAHHHHHH!" I screamed, slamming my hand on my table and breaking it with Eva strength. Papers flew across the room and my phone fell to the ground. "Why can't I find you!" I yelled.
"I just want to go home!" I scream, fire streaming from my hand and scorching the ceiling.
Then a small beeping came from my phone on the ground. I raised an eyebrow and walked over to the phone, Cody wasn't meant to text me for a couple of hours at the least and no one else tries to contact me except for maybe my family every once in awhile. I picked the phone up off the ground and flipped the phone up.
One new message, from unknown.
Cody usually gives me a name when he texts me.
You don't know me but I know all about you, I read, I know everything about you and I know who you are looking for. Oh shit, I looked around the room in case someone put a camera up while I was gone. Nothing.
I looked back to the phone and texted back. Who are you?
Find me in Winnipeg, Canada the person texted back, you haven't much time. I looked at the phone in confusion then my ears perked up, there are people trying to sneak into my house. I rushed around my home and stuffed things I would need into my back pack. As I was reaching for my jacket when my door downstairs was smashed in. "Shit" I hissed, slipping my jacket on and jumping out the window.
I landed perfectly on the ground and started to make a run for it, let me tell you two days without sleep, I was slow, I could only run as fast as a normal person. Maybe I can fly if I get far away enough that I'm not panicking anymore.
"Get her Duncan! She's getting away" I heard Courtney yell.
"Look she's pretty damn fast" Duncan yelled. I heard them running after me and then something hissing past my head. I looked forward and saw that a bush had caught on fire.
"Idiot!" Courtney yelled. A sharp icicle whipped past my head followed by a cry of pain and stumbling, I looked back and saw that Courtney was holding her side while Duncan picked her up.
"You should have stayed behind Courtney"
"You are not keeping me from her" she panted.
I was running further and further into bushy plain grass out the back of my house. I need to gain more speed if I want to fly, Izzy's power was making me faster but only Olympic person fast, and I was still wearing heels. Another icicle crossed my path and a scream of rage.
"Gwen come on!" Duncan yelled. "Just come with us"
Tears stun my eyes and I was hovering slightly above ground, perfect. I was nearing a cliff and just as I jumped off it another icicle hit where my chest used to be, I was falling deeper and deeper into the darkness before I started to fly.
I flew back up into the air and watched as Courtney and Duncan stopped on the edge of the cliff. I sighed in relief as they looked at me, then I looked down in fright as Courtney clicked something on her watch, a metal plate appeared near her feet. She stepped onto it and then used her ice path to go into the air. Oh right, she can do that thing with the ice board.
She dipped down and then rose up to the air next to me, the ice lane going flat as she looked at me, and the first thing I noticed was even though she looked at me with pure hatred she looked kind of scared, a cut on her neck. "Gwen, come on, come with us"
"Why should I! I know what you do with people like us! You keep us in cages and experiment on us!" I yelled at her "I'm a rare power and I know you will do something horrible to me, test me to my limits"
"Please come with us" she asked, reaching behind her.
I narrowed my eyes at her "Look, I don't know what you are on, but I'm not coming with you"
"Fine, I'll have to force you" she said, from behind her she showed me her long icicle that was sharp and giving off steam from the warm air as the ice hit air. Her hair slowly turning blue as did her eyes, her skin pale.
I shook my head at her and backed away a little bit, "Nice seeing you again, but I'm going to take off." I saluted her with a flick of my hand, she came at me but I ducked her in time "If this is your life, finding people like us and taking them away. Then so be it, but if you want more then text my name into a phone and I will get the message. You can't find me, but I can find you"
"This is my life Gwen, finding people like you and taking them down so the rest of us are safe"
"Safe Courtney? Really? This isn't your life. I know you Courtney, you wouldn't do this without something in it for you not for everyone else, it has to be for you. And I know something must be up." Courtney was breathing hard and I took pity on her "You know how to contact me"
Courtney threw her icicle at me but I used Ezekiel's power to rebound the icicle off the invisible field, but as I did this I started to fall through the air, since I can only use one power at a time, I saw the icicle crash and then I wiped away the force field, flying up once again. "Later Frost butt" I said, flying off into the air.
I looked back at the people that used to me my friends and I saw Courtney stumble before she landed next to Duncan who tried to stop her hitting her head, holding his hand to her forehead to feel the ice sizzle as the heat and ice combined. God I wish that I could touch another person like that. I sighed and turned back to my real mission.
I flew for a good couple of peaceful hours before I finally landed in Winnipeg, pulling out my phone I texted in Cody's name. I held the phone to my ear and listened to it ring. "Hello?" a voice said.
"Cody, it's Gwen"
"Oh hey, what up? Need me to track someone? Contact your family? What is it?"
I sighed and put on my pair of gloves "I need the team back together. I'm in Winnipeg, tell me where to meet them" I snapped the phone shut and started to make my way along the beach. This will probably be the last peaceful moment I will have before the war begins again.
God I hope this is it.
