Chapter 2

As the night passed on without incident both Barbra and her husband slept soundly next to each other. Barbra dreaming of the incident that happened earlier that day however something was a little different. In her dream after she dropped William the world went dark and all she could see was a silhouette of a tall man right around 6 feet tall, he looked built. The man's eyes were the only thing she could recognize on him. He had the same eyes as William, a Gold like look with a hint of brown and a little green in them (the green was from his father). Then right then the sun came out of from behind the clouds blinding her, she shielded her eyes just long enough to for them to adjust to the sun light. She could finally she the man. As she guessed he was very built almost like he had been working out, but his face had scars all over him as if he had been through a war. Just as she noticed him she realized where she was. She was in the middle of downtown Las Vegas or least what was left of it, it was in complete ruins. Something terrible had happened here and she knew it but she couldn't figure out what or how or when.

She looked all around her and burst into tears dropping to her knees in disbelief of what she sees "What happened here, how could anyone do this, why didn't someone stop it from happening?" she thought to herself or at least she thought. The next the thing she knew the man was right in front of her.

"Who are you?" the man asked very confused to why a woman was on her knees crying in the middle of nowhere.

"My name is Barbra, what in gods name happened here?" she said still rubbing the tears from her eyes.

The man seemed very trust worthy even though she has never felt like that to any one else except her husband. The man before her had something around him that helped calm her down almost radiating from him, like there was hope and love.

"The war happened Barbra where have you been living under a rock?" the man said smirking trying to joke around. Barbra just looked at him puzzled because she didn't know what he was talking about and could she? She was just with her baby before all this. The man saw how confused Barbra was and quickly lost his smirk, he extended his hand forward towards Barbra tell help her up. She grabbed his hand and with almost no effort he helped her up. He quickly turned around and tossed out his arms like he wanted some one to spot them. She wanted to know what he was doing so she tried to quietly walk around him and see what was happening. He trusted his hands forward then downward as he did this Barbra felt the ground shake almost like an earth quake. He turned his palms up but is arms straight down and in front of him and he slowly raised his hands, as he did this some of the ground started to come up almost like magic she thought to herself. When his hands reached his chest he let go as if he was holding something up, he turned to wards Barbra and what about to say something but Barbra's mouth was wide open in udder shock of what just had happened so he couldn't speak instead he just busted out into laughter.

"What's so funny?" she said with her hands on her hips as if something was the matter.

"you are" he continued laughing "you looked so funny just now with your mouth wide open, you looked like some old anime I used to watch when I was younger". He said continually to laugh at her expense.

"Well something like should not be able to happen, what the hell was that just now?" she said confused but determined to get something out of him.

"Oh I get it now, well this explains a lot now." He said like her just solved one of the greatest puzzles of all

"What do you mean you get it now, tell me what happened here, tell me why this city looks like its been through war and a half tell me everything NOW!" she demanded with an angry look on her that could frighten even the devil.

"Like I said before the war happened here that's what happened." He said almost looking like he was remembering something horrible.

"You mean the war that just started at Desert Gulf with the Persians?" she said in complete confidence she knew what she was talking about.

"No not that war, that war ended in 95' I mean the war that started 3 years ago in 2012. The year right now is 2015 and I'm what you would call an earth bender. Some one who can take the ground or earth beneath you and shape any way I see fit as long as I can make the motions with my arms and body, I also need to be able to feel the earth through my body feel its flow through me, be one with it." He said trying to get Barbra to understand all of this.

Barbra still looked a little confused but is starting to get the gist of all this now. She crossed her legs getting a little bit more comfortable for herself but intently listening to what William was saying to her.

"Ok this war that happened how did it happen and why?" Barbra asked still trying to figure out if he was really her son or not.

"Its simple it started with the government, in the mid 90's people who could bend the four natural elements started to show up all over the country some people used them to help other people some used it to commit crimes and others were just trying to live their lives. Some people even committed suicide when they found out that they had such powers because they believed they were freaks of nature and god would not except them into heaven if they were these things." William said with a disappointed look as if someone he knew did something bad and Barbra picked up on it.

Barbra looked like she wanted to throw up when she heard that people were committing suicide because they felt like they were freaks, it made he sick to her stomach but she pushed threw it and kept a watchful eye on William as he continued to explain everything.

"The country was being split apart from the inside out with all of this. Some people were killing the benders and the benders fired back and started killing normal people. The government finally stepped in and said enough putting the country on lockdown. Setting curfews and whatnot, some benders resisted feeling that their right had been violated. "Williams paused for what seemed like an eternity to Barbra then he started up again. "After the riots settled down a lot the curfews were lifted and life went back to normal for a little while, what we didn't know is that the government had been kidnapping some benders and started doing all sorts of experiments on them, it was horrible. "

"They were trying to test the extents of the benders weather or not it was biological, hereditary, was it fixable? Can they be controlled? Can it be amplified. Of course the only question for the military was can it be controlled for our use? And they got their question answer far to quick. Soon people started seeing their loved one on the street wearing military outfits and if they opposed to use deadly force and that's exactly what they did. Soon the riots started up again this time the country was only being split into 2. The government had become to powerful for their own good so the people that had the powers rose up to defeat the very thing that started this country. When the government realized that people that were not under their mind control serum grew more and more powerful, so the government started using their own bombs on their own country to cleanse it of sorts."

As William continued with this story Barbra was in utter shock to hear that her government that she knew and loved would do such horrible things to the people they had promised to protect.

William went on with this horrible story. "Soon the benders need somewhere safe that didn't look like it had benders in it. They couldn't find a town big enough to cover their tracks and diverse enough where it almost didn't matter. Las Vegas is where they came, they came here and for a short while it worked the government couldn't find them. This town had something about it that felt safe and could ward off anything. But only for short while were they hidden, on a routine check on every city to see if they were hiding any benders they spotted one of the high ranking officials of the so called "rebel resistance" . So that man ran back to Washington to tell the president himself where he might of found the rest of the benders. They took action without hesitation and launched several nukes at the city to make sure everything was dead."

Barbra was again shocked on what kind of actions her beloved government would take to kill innocent people.

William hung his head low remembering that painful day, but just as William was about to continued Barbra interrupted with "Wait if they dropped the nukes why aren't you dead?"

William simply chuckled and said "I was just getting their can you be a little more patient?" Barbra did so with a smile and hung her head low and said she was sorry for interrupting him during his story.

"Ok now where was I? Oh yes, they dropped the nukes on all sides of Las Vegas to make sure everything was dead. I was not apart of this cause I had spent they day lake and saw what had happened from a distance." He said as he started to cry remembering all of his loved one that were kill that day.

Barbra put her hands on his and when she did that knew than and there he was her son. "I'm so sorry William I had no idea." Barbra said crying herself.

"Its ok I learned long ago its ok to cry for the people that matter to you." William said as he wiped the tears from his eyes and continued with his story. "Every one I ever knew died that day and ill never forgive the government for doing such an atrocity. How if this could all be prevented I believe it should be." William said with a heavy heart.

"So what happened after you returned to the city?" Barbra asked wondering why he is still here.

"Its simple I train here till I'm strong to take down the entire government with my bear hands, and bring vengeance to the people who hurt his loved ones."

Barbra saw the hate in his eyes and didn't like it and felt it was her duty to change his mind on everything. BOOOOOOOOOOM, she heard the sound of metal crunching and windows shattering. She looked around and asked "Did you hear that William?" "Heard what?" William said tilting his head in confusion. "How did you not hear that it was so freaking loud." Barbra stated as now sirens started to wail.

"I think its your time now mom." William said with a simple smile on his face. "What do you mean go back plus I've got some many more questions for you!" she tried to yell over the sirens. "Its ok raise me like you would of raised me with love and care." William said smiling and his mother.

"Nooooooooooooooo!" She cried out and everything around her went dark and the next thing she knew she was back in bed with her husband and he eyes slew open and all she could think about was William. Then all the noises hit her at once like a brick wall, she covered her ears and yelled at her husband but he had left his ear plugs in from work. She pulled out the plugs from his ears and he woke without hesitation and jumped up and said "What in gods name is all that noise?" looking at Barbra as if she had the answer.

They looked at each other holding their ears puzzled trying to figured out the noise then at the same time it hit them "WILLIAM!" they both screamed out and bolted for the door. As they ran down the hallways more noises could be heard. "GET DOWN ON THE GROUND NOW!" one of the officers shouted. What was going on they said in their minds as they ran down the hallway
