Kaylie's POV

This was ridiculous. How long did I have to stay in here? I was fine… back to normal. Was this considered jail time or something? It's not like I could control it at the moment. But I can now, which is why I should be out of here. Was it because I still could throw someone to China with my mind if I wanted to? I mean I didn't. I was getting angry at myself.

"Kaylie?" I jumped in fright, throwing my arm up. I turned around to see Andie on the floor. I threw her against the wall.

"Andie!" I exclaimed getting up from my bed. I stayed in this sound-proof dorm where the J.O.N.A.S doctors said I couldn't hurt anyone. Liars I thought. I helped Andie up. "I'm so sorry… you-- you startled me and-"

"It's okay," Andie said weakly, "You're still recovering."

"Yeah, I guess," I replied, "So what are you doing here? I mean you're visiting hours start tomorrow."

"Yeah, I know," she said, "I just need some time with you." I smiled and looked down at Andie, examining her. She was the same old Andie. Dirty blonde hair, hazel eyes, flashing smile. She was grown up though. One of the features I never noticed though was a bruise in the shape of a hand print on her neck.

"And who did that?" I asked.

She looked down trying to see it, "That noticeable huh?" I nodded, "It was this girl. She seemed okay at first. Then when we were in the halls alone she jumped me and told me if I didn't stay away from Nick then she would… she would tell the school about you and me. It might jeopardize our secret and I can't do that. There's nothing wrong with you at all."

"I understand," I said. I was upset that she hurt my little sister, "You know if she needs some convincing then I could always straighten her out." I felt smug.

"You know you can't do that," she laughed.

"I miss you," I said giving her a hug. My eyes flew open at the sound of a door opening. Andie pulled away and turned around.

"Mr. Jonas?"

"Hello, Andie… Kaylie." I nodded at him, "I'm glad you're here. I need to alert you."

"Alert me?" she asked. Andie needed more than a break in the spy-business.

"Yes unfortunately," he said, "When we arrested Division agents we apparently missed a few escaping experiments. They're on the run and are coming to Wyckoff."

"What am I up against?" she asked worried.

"Four males… about Joe's age. They each have these… abilities."

"What kind of abilities?" she asked.

"Well see for yourself," Mr. Jonas replied handing her four file folders. She opened up one and examined the information. Her eyes had to have popped out of her head.

"Mind control?" she asked, "You mean like a telepathic?"

"I'm afraid so," he replied. I peered over at the photo.

"I've seen him before," I said, "His name is Max. He was there before… well you know."

"Really? Do you know anyone else?" Andie asked handing me the files. I took one glance and the picture of Max and somehow could feel myself losing control.

"Get out of here," I said handing her back the files, "I can't control it. You-- you have to go." Andie nodded as Mr. Jonas escorted her out of the room.

Mr. Jonas POV

I escorted Andie out of Kaylie's room. She didn't need to see the doctors give her a painkiller. Her past was very complicated.

"What happened?" she asked, "I thought she was better."

"She is," I assured her, "I think the files set her off. Any memory of what happened to her could do that. We're going to fix it."

"Okay," said Andie, "So what do these boys want?"

"Do you know a girl named Jenn Thomas? She goes to your school I think."

"Oh, I've met her," Andie said, "We're great friends." The tone in her words made me feel like I was missing something.

"Good," I said ignoring it, "Then it'll be easy to protect her."

"They're after her? Why?"

"I'm not sure," I replied, "But we need to make sure they don't get to her. She has no idea what they can do to her if she doesn't cooperate. Do you think you can do this?"

"Absolutely, Mr. Jonas," she said, "I'll research them right away and get back to you."

"Thank you, Andie," I said gratefully, "I'm sorry this came up."

"No sweat," she said, "Oh, I have to go. I'm late to get Nick."

"Where's Nick?" I asked worried.

"Oh, he's just talking to someone who needs a little advice," she said. I think I was missing something again.

Joe's POV

I was sitting at home watching TV. I'm not sure where anyone else was. Kevin was probably out with Claire. Kali was probably out with Peter. John was probably… hmmm. I wasn't sure. The door opened and shut quickly. I turned around to see Andie.

"Hey," I said, "I thought you were going to get Nick."

"I am," she said, "We need to talk first." I turned off the TV and stood up to face her.

"What's going on?" I asked, "Whoa, what happened to your neck?"

"That was Jenn's fault," she said, "But that's not important right now. I went to visit Kaylie and I met up with your dad. We've got a huge problem."

"W-what?" Suddenly, the door opened and there was Nick… and Jenn?

"Jenn?" I asked.

"Um, yeah, I'm just going to help Jenn with her… homework," said Nick, "Hey, you wait here, I'll be right back." Nick ran upstairs.

"Nice bruise, sweetie," said Jenn. Andie was about to jump at her. I grabbed her as she struggled. Jenn backed up against the door.

"Andie, it's okay," I said. She stopped, "Listen, I thought you were nice but no one hurts my friend."

"Oh give me a break. You two were made for each other… Nick will be all mine soon." We didn't have time to retort. Nick was already back, beckoning Jenn upstairs.

"Nick, I thought I was coming to get you," Andie said.

"Um, yeah I know I just thought Jenn and I could walk and talk at the same time." Andie nodded putting her trust in him. Just like that they were gone.

"Okay," I began, "so what's going on?"

"There are four guys coming to get Jenn… to hurt her. I'm not sure why but they're dangerous… very dangerous."

"How are they dangerous?" I asked. I thought we were done with missions for a while.

"Look for yourself," she said handing me file folders. I opened up the first, revealing a headshot of a teenage boy with black hair and blue eyes, seemingly harmless. Then I saw the sticky note by the picture. It said mind control.

"Mind control…" I said, "Like Kaylie was before?"

"No," said Andie, "Different… more telepathic."

"Wow," I said switching to the next picture revealing a dirty-blonde with brown eyes… also male. They all looked so normal… his sticky note said… "Shape shifter?"

"Yeah," said Andie, "Also a muscle man and element controller."

"What's that?"

"He can control the four elements… water, fire, earth, and air."

"So you're saying they're out there looking for her?" I asked. Andie nodded. "So what are we going to do?"

"Simple," she said, "We're going to protect her whether she likes it or not."

"You realize she'll probably file a restraining order against us?"

"Yeah but there is a group of dangerous kids out there. She has no idea that their after her and why. We're just going to have to make sure no one weird gets around her."

"Okay," I was still unsure. I was feeling way in over my head. There was a shape shifter, a super-strong guy, a mind controller, and an element controller coming to our small town to go after a girl that hates us… this should be no sweat.

Max's POV

"So what's the girl's name?" I asked as I sped down the highway. Ace, Byron, Jason, and I were on our way to this small town in New Jersey to get some girl who could apparently help us.

"Jenn Thomas," Jason said, "She knows everything there is to know about stuff. She's one of the smartest agents to join J.O.N.A.S."

"Wow," I said, "And you're sure she can help us?"

"Absolutely," he replied, "She's amazing… a real genius."

"Then the sooner we get there the better," said Byron, "I'm definitely weakening."

"Do you need to stop and pick up something?" I asked.

"Yeah," he replied, "Maybe."

"Alright," I said turning down an alley. We were outside of New York. In a matter of a day we would be at our destination to find Jenn Thomas. I saw that alley I pulled into had a bank next to it. If Byron could just keep up his strength before we get to this girl, then we'd all be okay. I stopped the car and he got out.

The rumbling of the bricks crumbling didn't faze me. I just sat in the car picking my nail. I've known Byron for a while now so it didn't shock me when he knocked down walls and buildings. It made Ace and Jason jumped just a little but with our time spent together in Division they were beginning to get used to it to.

Five minutes passed and we heard sirens coming down the road. I didn't have to yell for Byron because he was already in the car.

"Drive," he said. I floored the petal backing out of the alleyway, hitting another car. We were now on another high-speed chase. Wonderful I thought. There are way too many of these.

"Jason," I said.

"On it," he replied. Jason focused in front of him taking deep breaths, deep in meditation. I looked at the side-view mirror to see the patrol cars slipping and sliding on the road, causing them to stop. Jason had frozen the road for us… again.

Kevin's POV

I walked through the door of my house with Claire, Kali, and Peter to see Joe and Andie overlooking a bunch of files. This could only mean one thing: another mission. Claire laughed at my expression causing Andie and Joe to turn around at us.

"Hey," said Joe, "You guys might want to take a look at these."

"Another mission?" asked Claire.

"Well, sort of," said Andie.

"What's going on?" I asked.

"Well to get straight to the point, four guys with amazing abilities are coming after Jenn to do who knows to her."

"Are they dangerous?" Kali asked.

"Very," said Joe.

Andie opened up the files. "We've got a shape shifter, telepathic, muscle man, and element controller."

"Whoa," Peter said, "Does anyone else feel a little… oh, I don't know, scare?" Everyone nodded in unison.

"Where's Jenn now?" asked Claire.

"She's upstairs," said Andie, "With Nick."

"Did you fill him in?" I asked. Andie looked down and shook her head. I was about to say something.

"I know what you're thinking and you're right. Jenn does want Nick," she said, "She told me so. But that's kind of what we want, I mean so she says close. When I fill in Nick everything will be fine." I smiled and nodded.

"Did she do that to you?" asked Kali pointing at her neck which had a hand-print bruise on it. She nodded. I could hear a door shutting and Nick and Jenn walking down the stairs. We all looked at them as Jenn quickly left without a word.

"What happened?" asked Joe.

"I tried to tell her that what she did to Andie was messed up and she got a little defensive," he said.

"That's really not a good thing," said Andie, "We need her here with one of us as much as possible."

"What? Why?" he asked coming to sit down next to Andie.

"Because four guys with powers are coming to get her," I said. Andie had to have been tired of repeating it.

Showing Nick the files made us all feel the same again. Like we were way in over our heads. I didn't want this to last forever like our last mission. If anything went wrong Jenn could be dead… or one of us.

"Where did you get these anyway?" Nick asked after reading the information on each fugitive.

"Well," Andie began, "You're dad."

"How did you see him?" Nick questioned again. Uh-oh. Nick hated it when Andie went alone to J.O.N.A.S…. that's only because Nick knew she would be seeing her sister. The last time she went alone, she came back with a nearly broken arm.

"Okay," Andie confessed, "I went to see her." Nick sighed. "It's not that big of a deal." Nick put his hand on her shoulder and she winced.

"You got hurt again," Nick said stating on the obvious.

"So what," said Andie frustrated, "It's not like it's never happened before." I surprised to see her stand up. "I'm sorry but I have to go. Tomorrow, we'll just look out for anything suspicious." She walked out the door without one word. Peter, Claire, and Kali quietly excused themselves so Joe and I could talk to him.

"I don't get it," he said, "I just don't want her to get hurt."

"We know, bro," said Joe, "But Andie's a big girl… she can handle herself."

Nick nodded, taking in every word Joe said, "I just get so worried about her… that someone will just take her away from me." At that moment I felt horrible for Nick. He was trying to protect her a little too much due to what happened to her before.

"We won't let that happen, Nick," I said. Joe nodded, agreeing with me. Nick looked up at us.

"Really?" he asked. I nodded encouragingly, "Thanks guys."

"There's something else, though," said Joe, "Andie and Jenn will not get along during this operation. You need to tell Andie every minute that this is just pretend."

"Absolutely," said Nick, "Did you see what she did to her neck?"

"Yeah," I said in disgust, "She's pretty strong."

"Yeah, and by what I heard from her upstairs, she's determined to get whatever she wants… no matter who she has to hurt."

"That seems accurate characterization," said Joe chuckling, "Well, if I were you, I'd go get your girl."

"Yeah," said Nick getting up, "I'll be home soon."

"Okay," I said, "See you." Nick walked out the door. Joe and I looked at each other.

"I'm not so sure about this," said Joe, "If Jenn and Nick come off as a threat to Andie she'll never talk to him again."

"I know," I said worried. I was worried not only because Nick's heart would be broken, but because Andie could kick Jenn's butt… big time. "I'm sure she'll be okay."

Not a chance. I gulped.

Andie's POV

I wasn't mad at Nick… I was more mad at myself. If this stupid girl was going to tear us apart then I might as well die. Nick was just trying to protect me. I paced down the sidewalk, leaving my dad's truck behind. I would go get it eventually. I just needed to think.

Kaylie wasn't getting much better. I would get hurt every time I came to visit her. It wasn't eternal peril or anything but I began to worry about her. What if she never became my sister again? I didn't realize how far I really walked. I was halfway to my house now. Nick kept racing through my mind. I should be thinking about him and not me. He was the only thing keeping me stable anyway.

I looked over my shoulder. Someone was following me. I walked normally, trying not to panic. If I could just see who it was and run for it, I could get some information if the fugitives we already here.

I couldn't hear the car anymore… did it stop? Then the sound of a door shutting made me shudder. The footsteps were getting closer. I was prepared to fight or even scream. I could feel the breath on the back of my neck. I swung my fist around only for it to be caught by… Nick. I let out a breath of relief.

"You were expecting someone else?" he asked.

"Um, no," I said, "You just… just scared me." We stood there for a while, my fist still in his hand. He lowered my arm and pulled me into a hug. "I'm an idiot."

"Nonsense," he said, "I understand this pressure. Trust me, I feel it too."

"I hate missions," I said chuckling. He laughed with me. I pulled away to examine his face after a short but long silence.

"What?" I asked.

"You know you're really important to me," he said, "And I would do anything to protect you."

"Of course," I said, "What's wrong?"

"Well in order to protect you I'm afraid I can't allow anymore visits to your sister… without me there with you." I tensed up in his arms then calmed. Again, he was only trying to protect me and as my boss he could do that.

"I'll give you fair warning," I said, "I'm going to try to escape."

"Then I'll just have to stay with you," he said smiling, "Everywhere you go." I laughed.

"Okay," I said, "Fine with me." Then he lifted my chin, kissing my scar. I think it was because of the cold.

"It's freezing," he said, "Let me take you home. I'll come get you tomorrow." I nodded. It sounded pretty good to me.

***

The next morning I heard an engine rumbling as I was getting ready for school. I looked out my window and there he was with my dad's truck. I looked at him and smiled. He was staring at me with starry eyes. I quickly did what I had to do then ran out the door.

"Hey," he said, "Was I too early?"

"No," I said, "Not at all." I pecked him on the cheek.

School seemed to be a rush except for Biology. I laughed at Joe as he stared at the projector, trying to comprehend the teacher's lecture.

"This is so confusing," he said.

"I'll help you in study hall," I said. Joe and I would glimpse over at Jenn who wouldn't even make eye contact with Nick.

"What happens after Bio?" Joe whispered to me.

"I'm not sure," I whispered back sarcastically, "All we can do is hope that she doesn't get attacked during class." He almost laughed a little too loud.

After Biology Jenn was surprisingly talking to Nick in the hallway. I smiled, hoping that maybe she'd come to terms and was willing to let us follow her around so the creep super-villains don't catch her. I'd need a miracle.

"Hello there," said a female voice as I was rummaging through my locker, looking for my history folder. I peered over the door to see Jenn.

"Um, hi?" I said confused.

"Listen," she began, "I'm sorry about the whole thing with Nick and your neck. I was just a little jealous."

"R-really?" I asked.

"Yeah," she said, "And I can prove it. Come by my locker after school."

I hesitated… what if this was a trick? Only one way to find out. "Alright," I said, "Later."

"See you," she said. I felt like I was missing something. Jenn left quickly. I didn't get it at all but I would soon find out.

"Hey there," said Kali, "Saw Jenn was talking to you… what happened?"

"Surprisingly she felt bad for the whole incident and wants to prove it."

"How?" she asked, "I mean what is she going to do?"

"I have no idea," I said, "I'm a little suspicious of it but I'll figure it out when I see her after school."

"Careful," she said.

"I always am… sort of." She laughed.

I went back to art with Joe and Kevin. They felt the same way Kali felt when I told her what Jenn said.

"It's all the easier to protect her now," said Joe.

"Definitely," said Kevin, "But what if it's a trap?"

"Oh," I said, "You might be right. She might put me in peril. Who are the spies here?"

"Right," said Kevin, "Just be careful… try not to rough her up too much."

"I'll try to contain myself," I replied laughing.

My last periods were rushed. Everything went by so fast which got me worrying. I could feel them coming closer. Who knows, they might be in Wyckoff right now… waiting for Jenn to get alone and catch her. What I began to think about was why they wanted her in the first place. Did she have something they wanted? Money? That's the only thing I could think of, unless she was hiding something. That got me thinking… could she be an agent? I mean possibly from a different agency because if she we from J.O.N.A.S then she would know we were spies too. It was hard to see her as an agent but anything can happen in a life like ours.

"Hey," said Kali after class, "You going to see Jenn?"

"Yeah, pretty soon," I replied.

"Well, I'll be waiting at your house to research some of these guys. Is Nick going to be protecting Jenn today?"

"Yeah," I said, "At least I'm pretty sure. The keys in the light by the door. I'll be back soon. My parents won't be there though. They're out… yeah let's say that." Kali chuckled.

"Okay, well I'll catch you later," she said. I nodded and walked off. I ran into Joe, Kevin, Peter, and Claire eventually, telling them where I was heading and that it won't take long. I didn't expect to run into John five minutes after. The halls were completely empty. I was hoping Jenn was still there.

"John," I said surprised to see him, "What's up?"

"Oh, nothing," he said, "What's up with you?"

"Nothing, nothing," I said, "Just going to meet up with someone."

"Nick?" he assumed. This was John-like behavior. He still had his brown eyes so it wasn't the other one that tried to kill Nick.

"Um, no actually," I said, "Are you sure there's nothing wrong?"

"Oh, no I'm okay, don't worry," he said smiling. I smiled back. That was the John I knew and loved, "So you wanna hang out after."

"Yeah, sounds great," I said, "We might actually need your help."

"About what?" he asked.

"I'll explain later," I said, "I'm pretty late. My house… Kali will be waiting."

"Cool," he said, "See you there."

I turned hall after hall to see no Jenn. I was about to give up when I heard the banging of a locker. I turned a few more halls. What I saw next was something I thought would never ever have to see.

I trusted Nick. I trusted him since the day he saved me. I knew he wouldn't do anything to hurt me under his free will and that he would stick with me no matter what. He even said he would be there… always. Can you imagine that all disappear in one second due to one sight? Can you imagine that… pain? It wasn't the pain I suffered previously, it was as if there was a big hole inside my chest.

She was all over him… kissing him so much. He didn't fight. He just stood there… in shock? My body froze. I couldn't breathe. Jenn opened her eyes and were looking straight at me, pulling away from Nick.

"Oh, hey Andie," she said. Nick's body tensed, quickly turning to face me. I shook my head… that was all I could do. If I could just move my legs… I could run… run far away where no one could find me… no creepy fugitives, no Jenn, no Nick, no anybody.

"Andie," he said, "This- this isn't what you think."

"No," I said. Everything was coming back to me. I could move again. That was when I ran as fast as I could… as far as I could.

No one would hurt me again.

Ooops, most of this was in Andie's POV but I had to get that big part out of the way. Haha.
