Immortal
Chapter 2
Amy
Once i teleported to the base, i was greeted with a loud screaming coming from the 'Newbie Room' that's what James calls it. That's just James being James. James is one of us, he's my friend. He's like the funny one here always making jokes, dancing like a maniac and all that. He always at the base watching the cameras or sleeping. Sometimes, follows me on the job.
We don't just hide in here from the people hunting us down. We help people in trouble or helping people, especially crimes but we don't let them see us teleporting in or out or using our powers infront them. That's why they teach us how to fight. Being immortal we have rules. We have the founder of this place. The guy helps people like us using and controlling our powers and hiding and to survive.
If we break the rules then we're screwed. Telling people about your powers will get you kill, like literally kill you. Rules are rules. But i told Karma about my secret which can get me killed. Karma won't tell anyone, she's my best friend.
I started walking towards where the scream was, my boots clacking on the cement floor. Once i reached the door, i put my cold hands on the knob and twisted it, opening the door. The scream became louder as i opened the door. It was a guy around my age. I saw James and Aleks in the room trying to calm him down. Aleks is James' best friend.
"James" I said
"Amy! Oh my- thank goodness you're here!" He exclaimed, walking towards me, hugging me.
"Okay... Why is he screaming?" I asked as James let's go of me.
"We saw him on the streets using his powers so we brought him in and put the whatever thing you call so that he can't teleport out" Aleks said
"He can teleport?" I asked, raising both my eyebrows.
"Yeah, just like you. " James said. We all have different powers, some can teleport, some can read minds, some can throw fire or ice and all that stuff.
"Alright, i'll talk to him, you guys can leave" I said, walking towards the boy and Aleks and James' left.
He stopped screaming and squirming and looked at me.
"Hi, I'm Amy." I pulled off the duct tape on his mouth.
"You can teleport too?" He asked me as soon as i took off the duct tape. Okay. He looks talkative.
"Look," I pulled a chair and sat down looking at him " You're not the only one in this world that can do things like that. People down here can too. There are alot of us. We are called Immortals. That's what the people hunting us down are calling us." I explained. He looks shocked.
"Really?" He asked
"Yeah, but there are rules here." I told him.
"Rules?" he asked, complete confusion written all over his face.
"Yeah. 1, Do not use your powers in public or infront of anyone. 2, you are not allowed to tell anyone about your powers or Sebastian, the guy who helps us stay alive in this place will kill you. We are not allowed to tell anyone. Understood?" I looked at him and he just nods. I untie him and showed him around the place and told him more about the rules and being a Parahuman.
"So.. this is where we learn how to fight." I told him, showng him around.
"Fight? Why Fight? We have powers" He said, smirking.
"We can have the whole world finding out about us remember? Unless, you wanna die." I took one of the fighting sticks and pass him one.
"Why?" He asked, confussed.
"We are gonna learn how to fight. I'm gonna teach you how to." I told him.
"Do you teach everyone how to fight here?" He asked, holding the stick up and swating it everywhere.
"Yes and don't swat that thing around." He stopped swatting it around and i showed him how to fight using sticks and hand fight, defence and all that.
He flopped on the mat, out of breath. "I'm done!" I said, out of breath.
"Don't worry, hun, we were just getting started. We'll continue tomorrow and i will teach you how to control you powers and teach you how to teleport since you can teleport just like me." I told him, putting the fighting sticks back on it's place.
"What else can you do?" He said, sitting on his elbow, facing me.
"Hmm.. Teleport, read minds, control heat for now." I replied
"For now?"
"Yeah, who knows what else will come"
"So, i will have more than teleporting?"
"Yep" I said popping the 'p'
He looks at his wrist watch "It's getting late, i should go" He stood up
"I'll teleport you back home" I said, standing up too.
"It's alright, i can do it, i've been doing it and i thought myself how to" He said
"Okay, then. Remember the rules." I told him
"Of course" he said
"Wait!" I stopped him before he leaves "I didn't get your name" i asked.
"Shane, Shane Harvey"
A/N: Suggest a name for the people hunting Immortats down. I know this looks a little bit like The Tomorrow People but i was inspired by that to write this story. Don't worry there will be more Karmy and i won't be taking too much of the show in the future chapters! Give me some ideas if you guys have some!
