Chase's POV
I struggled to see through the darkness and rain of the storm. We had been walking for around fifteen minutes because it was too dangerous to super speed for fear of debris.
A stop sign skittered accross the street in front of me. My thought wandered to the mayhem this was unleashing on our town. How long would it take to repair all of this?
A large branch hurdled toward us.
"Chase!" Bree yelled over the wind. I activated my forcefield just in time.
The branch bounced off and continued its path into a house, where it smashed against the siding.
A lightbulb look came onto Bree's wet face. "Chase, could you activate your forcefield while I speed?"
I did a facepalm. Why hadn't I thought of that sooner?
We sped to our mission site, the coast. As soon as we got there, I immediately realized something: the beach where I had been surveying the storm was now completely submergered. The water was rising, and if it rose any higher it would be in the road.
That meant we had to get the people in the beachfront homes to higher ground. There wasn't a lot of space between the porch supports and water of some of the homes, so we had to move fast.
"Bree, knock on all the doors and get the people to their doors. Adam, you help me tell them what's going to happen. Got it?"
Bree nodded and sped off to knock on all the doors. Adam gave me a quizzical look.
"Okay, but it's going to be hard to do that if I don't know what to tell them."
I rolled my eyes. "Tell them that we are here to move them to higher ground."
He nodded and ran off to the right. As I headed off to the left, I heard him telling the people at first house.
"Never fear, we the bionics are here!"
The man slammed the door in his face.
"Sir? Um, sir?" he knocked again.
I snickered but hurried to tell the people what to do.
As I was en route to the sixth house, I felt a popping sound in my ears.
My stomach dropped. That could only mean one thing.
Tornado.
Bree's POV
I finished knocking on all the doors when I heard a popping sound in my ears. I was getting ready to contact Chase and ask him what it was, but he called me first.
"Bree! Where are you? And do you feel the popping?"
"On Sunset Blvd. Yeah, what is that?"
"No time to explain! Get down!"
I did as he told me and hit the dirt. As I did so, a telephone pole snapped and fell onto the house I had just evaucuated.
A sigh of releif escaped my mouth. At least it was empty.
I stole a glimpse out to sea. What I saw was terrifying.
A waterspout was heading north-east, headed for further up the coast. What should I do? A million thoughts raced through my head, but I only recognized two. One, I remembered that waterspouts are the water variant of tornadoes, thus the ear popping.
And two, I pressed the button on my earpiece and told Chase.
"The earpopping is from a tornado, right?"
"Yeah, but are you okay?"
"I am, but it's not a tornado. It's a waterspout. Can those move onto land?"
"Yes! Where is it right now and which direction is it moving?"
"Off to the west and moving north-east."
"Ok... Mr. Davernport, did you get that?"
"Yep. I am tracking it right now -" he stopped short. "Bree! It's heading your way! Can you see it?"
I stood up to get a better look. It was perhaps a couple hundred yards off shore. "Yeah! What should I do?!" I tried to keep the panic out of my voice.
"GET OUT OF THERE!"
I didn't waste a second. I sped off, using my vocal manipulation to make a siren as I went. Mr. Davenport issued a Tornado Warning, which hopefully most people know to get on the lowest floor of their home.
Adam's POV
I had just finished my street of houses when I heard the urgent conversation on my ear piece.
Hopefully everyone was okay.
As I jogged back toward where our meeting point was, I heard a muffled howling over the wind. I turned, and straining against the rain, was able to make out a house that was half submerged by the rising water. A large tree rested on top, crushing the roof.
I heard the howling again, softer now. Turning toward the garage, I caught sight of a furry tail.
I rushed to it and pulled off the piece of roof that was pinning the tail in place. I caught my breath and smiled as I saw a dog, an Mastiff by the look of him.
His left hind paw was bloody and had splinters of wood in it. The tail was bent at an awkward angle, but other than that, he seemed okay.
I realized that he was on a tie out cable, as the owners had not bothered to take him with them when they evacuated. Squinting against the rain, I also noticed that his ribs showed through his tan coat. Poor dog.
I picked him up in a position so as not to hurt his paw and hefted him to our meeting point. There Chase wrapped his paw with a bandage and Bree sped he and I home. Tasha took care of him while Bree and I returned.
Meanwhile, Chase used his bionic hearing and had been able to save a cat and her litter of kittens, and a hamster. He had been able to pin-point the location of a dog and another cat, but he needed me to lift depris to get to them.
All of our rescued pets were sped home by Bree and we continued our search on Mission Creek, which was covered in rubble.
Just then, there was a loud cracking sound.
"Chase what was that?"
"Bree! Get us to the top of that building!"
She obeyed, and just seconds later, a wave of water surged the streets. We watched with grim faces as it rose higher and higher. The dam had broke.
Suddenly, a wave of water rushed over our building, and Bree fell into the swirling muddy water below.
"Bree!" Chase cried before her head slipped beneath the water.
