She glanced back at the living room of the penthouse, it was empty, she had already said her goodbyes, though she knew that they weren't really goodbyes, she knew that she would see them again, but goodbyes are always all the same, because in a moment everything would change, and he would be back.
….
She had appeared as if out of thin air, a young woman with shoulder length blonde hair and haunting blue eyes, and had created a light shield around Douglas, that Reese's laser projection could not penetrate.
"What the...what?" Reese exclaimed, throwing her hands down in frustration, her cheeks growing shades of red as her anger grew. Then a wicked smile crept upon her face.
"Douglas!" Chase yelled, as he and Bree ran off the hyper lift.
"Bree, Chase, look out!" Douglas yelled, just as Reese shot her laser projection at them.
Bree quickly grabbed Chase's arm and super sped them to the other side of the room just as Chase threw up his energy force field to protect them. But almost at the same moment, Reese morphed into a bright orange energy ball and flew directly at the young blonde woman, causing her to drop the light shield she had around Douglas and throw her hands up in front of her.
Right as Reese hit her full force, the young blonde woman released a shockwave burst from her hands, sending both her and Reese flying backward.
Reese flew over the cyber desk and landed hard on the ground, seconds later she jumped up, morphing herself into a black swarm and escaping through the tunnels beneath the building.
"She's getting away!" Bree shouted, as she was about to super speed after her.
"Let her go, Bree." Douglas said dismissively, as he and Chase were kneeling beside the young blonde woman, who was lying unconscious on the ground after slamming hard into the rock wall behind her.
"But Douglas…" Bree began, but cut herself off when she saw the concern in his eyes as he gently lifted the young woman's head, and quickly ran to her Uncle's side.
"Douglas, who is she?" Chase asked, as Bree gently placed her hand on his shoulder.
Douglas let out a deep and shaky breath before he answered, "She's my sister." He said as he looked down at a face he thought he'd never see again.
