Sorry, this chapter is really short. It's meant to introduce Mikayla and show her demented side. If you've seen Heroes, you'll know she's supposed to resemble Elle, and you can guess Miley is to resemble Claire. I was going to wait for more reviews, but I decided whatever, here you go:)
Electricity buzzed lightly off the Latina girl's tan skin as her heart beat faster with excitement and a grin crept onto her face. She walked with a purposeful stride down the dim corridor and let sparks dance across her skin. A large glass window greeted her and she saw her victim sitting against the wall staring intently at her. She batted her eyes and waved as she skipped over to the cell door and entered the code.
"Hello Nicholas," she cooed as she slid in. He didn't answer and a pout appeared on her as she zapped him from across the room and she saw him. Wincing, he remained silent.
"Nick," she said in a hurt voice. "Why don't you like me?"
"I want to get out of here Mikayla," he said staring at her with his intense brown eyes.
"Daddy says not yet," she said as if it wasn't strange that her father kept people locked up in cells. "I brought you your pills."
He grunted and took them complying with her orders. When she realized she wasn't going to get much more out of the sulking boy she let out a sigh and zapped him hard before she left angrily.
Nick groaned as his flesh healed from her burn and discreetly took the pills out of his mouth that he hid under his tongue and threw them down the urinal. The ability disabling pills had been thrown out for the past week and he could feel his abilities returning. He just had to keep the façade up a little longer.
Mikayla Marshall skipped into her father's office.
"Hey daddy," she greeted as she fell into his soft couch.
"Good afternoon to you," he greeted as he stared at his computer. "Kayla, I have a very important assignment for you. I wanna be sure you can handle it first though."
Mikayla hurriedly straightened up. "What is Daddy? I can do anything, you know that." She walked over to him and looked at the computer screen to see a picture of a man with semi long hair. "Who's that?"
"Robert Stewart is the father we gave the baby who survived the Odessa Fire of January 1993 to. The baby, his daughter, is about to turn sixteen tomorrow. You never know, some powers may occur. I need you to leave in a few days to find out what you can. Think you can do that?"
"Yes Daddy, I can," Mikayla nodded eagerly.
"One rule: Do not let emotions come in your way. I don't want this to end up like your last mission. Understand?"
"Crystal clear Daddy!"
Miley stirred under her sheets as she began to wake up. She rolled over to find Lilly staring at her.
"What?" she asked blankly.
Lilly shook her head. "That's so cool, what you can do."
Miley groaned. "No it's not Lilly, it's freaking me out."
"It's like a blessing! You can't get hurt!"
Miley stopped to think. Could she die?
"Do you think I can die?"
Lilly looked caught off guard. "Well...I don't know. Don't look at me, I don't know anymore about this than you!"
She looked at Miley who avoided her eyes as she tried to process what was going on.
"Hey," Lilly whispered softly. "Happy Birthday Miles.
Miley's eyes widened as she remembered what day it was. "Thanks Lils. I forgot."
"You'll figure out what's going on, I'm sure of it," Lilly stated and smiled sympathetically. "But first, let's go celebrate!"
Miley grinned as she watched Lilly jump out of bed.
Mikayla nonchalantly walked into Nick's cell and set the pills down and began to leave.
"What? You're mad at me?" Nick asked blankly, sitting at the edge of his cot.
"You don't like me," Mikayla replied simply.
"I do," Nick said unknowingly toying with Mikayla's emotions. He wasn't an asshole. He was simply feeling pity for the twisted Latina girl.
She smiled and went over to him, climbing onto his lap until she was straddling him. He knew about her abrasive and invading personality and deemed it a result of her tortured childhood and lack of social interaction. As much as he hated it, he thought she was absolutely cute and he leaned forward and kissed her.
Mikayla playfully kissed him until she let sparks flow and he winced breaking apart and she giggled as she hopped off him.
"Bye Nick," she said leaving. He grimaced and once the door was shut he went over to the cell wall and tested his restored powers. Successfully, he phased through the wall and left the building. He didn't know where he was going quite yet. He only knew there were more pills, no more cells, and no more Mikayla.
