"Are you seeing this?" Trish gasped, looking at the screen. Austin nodded.
"I'm seeing it alright," Austin murmured as himself and the rest of the Government staff watched the television screen in the Office. The news was reporting a wild shooting at the Gas Station. The Gas Station worker had pulled a gun on a young woman before shooting her, shooting several customers, then the woman, and then himself. Followed after that, there was a gas spillage and somebody had coincidentally dropped a lighter thus causing the entire place to go up in flames.
Suddenly, the doors burst open and in rolling came four very strong men, with a hand cuffed, pretty brunette. Austin frowned at the scene. "Hey! What do you think you're doing?"
"Austin," Jimmy said, looking at the blonde. Austin glanced at him. Jimmy took a deep breath, "That's our girl." Austin's eyes widened as he looked towards the petite, pretty, sweet, young brunette. Austin almost laughed.
Almost.
"Get her in the interrogation room!" demanded Jimmy. Austin tensed up, knowing his work was about to begin. Heck, it had begun. The men nodded and hauled her away. Austin stood next to Jimmy, distraught. Ally wasn't even putting up a fight, in fact, it looked like she was even strutting towards the interrogation room. She was enjoying this.
"How'd you know it was her?" Austin asked, perhaps breathlessly.
"Nina called only a few minutes ago. It seems Ally Dawson has no problem with people knowing who she is." Jimmy replied, "she wants us to remember her."
Austin followed Jimmy into the interrogation room. There sat Ally Dawson hand cuffed to the table. She looked up and smiled sweetly. Austin felt uncomfortable. This was the girl he had to stop from destroying man-kind? But she looked so...so...so nice.
"Could I have a coffee, please?" she questioned the darker man.
Jimmy huffed, "Don't flatter yourself."
"Didn't think so," she mumbled to nobody other than herself. "So, what's the verdict?" she questioned, sounding very charismatic. "Jail time? Hospitalized? Oh, the death penalty?"
"You've got quite the attitude," Austin blurted bitterly. Ally smiled over at the attractive blonde and bit her lip.
"And you've got nice hair," she sent a wink. Austin set his jaw, he was feeling very fed up with her. She looks over at the four strong men, "Well, you're very armed in here. Do you feel secure?" Jimmy looked at her with pure annoyance. She was a mouthpiece who obviously loved conversation. "Yeah, if I were you, I wouldn't feel all that safe either. I mean, I set gas station on fire." Ally shook her head, faking shame before she looked back up with mischievous eyes and sinister grin. Austin couldn't exactly read her gaze because her hair had fallen slightly in front of her eyes.
"Cut the small talk, Dawson. We know why you're here." Jimmy placed his palms on the table, his face inches from hers. He didn't admit that he was really trembling in his shoes; for all he knew, Ally could change her game and kill him with one wink.
"Man, I guess I'm really not fit for surprises. How'd ya know I'd be here?" she wondered, "Must've been Nina."
Jimmy felt his own features harden. "What did you do to her?"
Ally laughed, "Oh, Relax. Nina is fine. I'm sure she's the one who sold me out, huh? I had a feeling she would."
"Where is she?" questioned Austin, unsure.
"At her desk, working peacefully." Ally replied. Austin relaxed slightly. "You're really young to be an agent," she commented, looking him up and down.
Austin snapped, "And you're really young to be terrorizing the world."
Ally smirked, "Touché." Jimmy exchanged an exasperated glance with Austin. "Wow, I'm pretty famous around here, aren't I?"
"We know why you're here and we're not going to let you do it. We will kill you, Ally Dawson." Jimmy told her, bluntly. He knew that there was no way they could stop her, but he figured he would try to intimidate her.
Ally sucked in a breath, "Darn, I was really hoping to make friends," she looked at Jimmy with a small smirk. Austin watched her, feeling this hate boiling in his guts. He cared for Jimmy and he was feeling offended for him. "Do you really want to get rid of me?" she questioned.
"Of course, I do," Jimmy spat, "You're a threat. The biggest threat anyone will ever deal with." he said to her like it was obvious, well, because it was obvious.
Ally looked at him, arching a perfectly trimmed brow, "I'm not a threat," she told him, "I'm salvation. The world is going to have to deal with me."
A muscle in Jimmy's jaw ticked. "Bring her out," he demanded. "We have a surprise waiting for you."
"Oh, I see," she grinned at Jimmy, "A surprise for you, a surprise for me, great, I love trades," she giggled at him. The four strongly armed men, un-cuffed Ally and picked her up from the change, they then folded her arms behind her back and cuffed her once more. They took her outside of the room.
Austin noticed Jimmy taking a gun from her belt. "You're gonna kill her?" Austin queried. Jimmy looked back at Austin.
"We've got her right here, why not get a head start?" he asked. Austin laughed slightly and nodded. He followed after Jimmy.
"On her knees," Jimmy demanded.
"Oh, look, we've drawn a crowd," Ally grinned at him from on her knees.
"Yeah, I wanted to do this where everyone could see it," Jimmy smirked down at her. Austin was watching Ally. She's got "super-powers" why doesn't she use them? Austin wondered to himself.
"Well, If you insist," Ally muttered humorously. Jimmy raised his arm, pointing the gun towards Ally. Trish, who was standing alongside Dez, whimpered softly and curled into his side, she closed her eyes. Dez wrapped an arm around her. Austin didn't take his eyes off Ally. He wanted to see the look on her face when Jimmy kills her.
The office was silent until the sound of Jimmy's gun firing filled the building loudly. Trish jumped and buried her face into Dez's shoulder. Dez had flinched. Austin didn't move a muscle, he was use to the sound of a gun's fire.
Ally felt the way the bullet pierced through her forehead and shatter fragments of her skull. She watched the way the world spun on its axis, the tall figures all around her grow blurry until all she felt was the warm liquid running down the front of her face. She felt the way her heart was starting to slow irregularly. She even felt her body slump forward onto her stomach. She watched the darkness close in on her and she fearlessly let it.
Jimmy lowered his gun and his eyes clouded with victory. Austin stared at the girl slumped on the floor. "That went well," Austin cackled, looking at his boss who chuckled. Trish peaked and smiled up at Dez.
"Everything is okay," she told him, clarifying it to herself more than her boyfriend. Everyone started to clap before it started to slow quickly and gasps filled the room. "Oh my God," Trish gawked towards the girl.
Austin and Jimmy's eyes fell towards the girl who had just been shot. They watched in shock and terror as the petite figure moved as she slowly sat back up on her knees. Her hair was still in her face when she began to laugh sourly. "Did you think it was going to be that easy?"
Impossible, both Jimmy and Austin thought to themselves.
Ally finally picked up her head and the bullet hole was gone, completely sealed up, all that was left of the incident was the trail of wet blood that ran from her shoulder and dripped down her nose, cheek, and chin. "You can't kill me," her voice held humor. Jimmy gulped. They were in trouble for sure. "I am death. And how does death die?" she questioned rhetorically, "It doesn't."
Austin didn't even know what to think. He was fear stricken. He had to stop this girl, this un-killable girl.
"Now get me out of these cuffs!" she demanded. Ally looked up at Jimmy. "I don't like to hurt anyone unless I feel threatened," she admitted. Austin would've scoffed but he was too afraid to do anything. "and right now, I feel very threatened." Nobody spoke, nobody moved. "I want these off," her voice was soft, but it was demanding. The strongly armed men kept their feet glued to the door. "Very well then," she muttered. She craned her neck and looked into the eyes of one of the security men. His mind went blank and he dropped his gun with a loud clang and immediately reached for her and took off her cuffs.
Ally shook out her wrists, "Ah, much better," she smiled. She looked to Jimmy who had taken a step back, pulling Austin with him. "Do you even know what I can do?" she wondered. Jimmy gulped, shaking his head. She grinned at him. "How about a demonstration?"
Ally took a look around and doubted that there was one face who was fearless towards her. Again, nobody spoke or moved. This is gonna get ugly, thought Jimmy. He gave Austin a glance. Austin looked at his boss nervously and knew that they were in for a disgusting surprise and he knew it.
Ally stuck her hand out and the doors slammed shut along with windows. No way to escape. She grew a high from listening to the gasps and whimpers. She looked around, "Volunteers?" Nothing. "Okay. I doubt I'll get a drum roll, too, right? That's what I thought." she laughed to herself.
She gazed upon the crowd. Her eyes got carried over to the blonde boy standing next to Jimmy. He was her first choice but for an odd reason she couldn't bring herself to do it; there was something about him. She felt like if she killed him, something inside her would crush and she didn't know why. Ally continued her search and saw a Latino man. Her smile grew wide and tightened. His eyes widened. He knew her chose had been made. "No!" Jimmy shouted. Ally looked over to Jimmy.
"No?" she echoed. He stared at her with longing. She knew he was desperate for her not to touch the man. But he did try to kill her and so she looked back at the Latino man and sucked in a deep breath. Immediately the man fell to the floor, oxygen being swept away from his lungs. His face grew beetroot red and his eyes bulged from his skull. She just watched him and didn't admit to anyone that the sight bothered her. A voice whispered in the back of her mind, you were given orders. You have to do this. She lived on that and listened to the whimpers of the crowd. Before she blew air out breezily and the man dropped to the floor, not breathing, his face white.
Two people from the crowd crouched down and pressed two fingers against his neck. They looked up into the eyes of Jimmy Starr and shook their head sadly; he was gone.
Ally smirked as she looked around the room, "Any questions?"
Austin's heart was racing. Mind Control. Life manipulation. Austin listed in his mind and he had a feeling there was a lot more where that came from. He clenched his fists; he wasn't going to let himself be afraid. Suddenly, Austin was brave, as if he had tricked himself into being just that.
Ally looked around the room and her eyes once again found the blonde boys. Her head cocked to the side slightly. "Well, you look fearless." Austin stared at her.
"I'm going to kill you," Austin declared.
"Perhaps you missed the memo," she cackled, "I can't die. It just doesn't work. I come right back," she pointed her finger to the ground nonchalantly.
"I'm going to find a way," Austin assured her loudly so everyone could hear him.
Ally felt her heart rate pick up. He was different. "Are you?" she questioned.
"Yes, I am," he replied stiffly.
"Good luck," she grinned at him. Austin didn't know what to say next. He couldn't kill her yet; he needed to find a way to kill her because obviously bullets don't do the trick. It was sudden when one of security guards held a gun to his head and shot. Everybody gasped in fear as they watched him fall to the floor, limply. "Had it coming," Ally shrugged towards the man.
While there was panic in the room, Austin came towards Ally. Ally was shocked, she wasn't expecting it. "You're sick," he growled at her. "He had a wife and three beautiful kids."
That really bothered Ally.
"Guess they're in for a rude awakening," Ally masked her guilt, "Don't worry, I'll make sure they go peacefully if it helps you sleep at night."
Ally started walking out of the office area. "You're leaving?" Jimmy suddenly bellowed.
Ally turned towards him, "I've got a human race to destroy."
"You're not going to kill us?" questioned Jimmy.
Ally walked towards Jimmy and got close enough until she could feel his breath, "No. Not yet." she breathed. "Jimmy, you're shaking," Ally giggled. She turns around when everything had calmed and gazes at the fearful faces. "But don't worry, this wasn't my surprise."
"What?" Austin breathes to himself.
Ally's eyes found Dez's in the crowd. He looked her in the eye, nervously. "I had a messenger. He told me you were begging for a message or just a warning, just so you would know when I was coming," Ally said. His face paled over. "So, this, this was your warning. This was your message. Don't wait up on me," she looked around, grinning mercilessly, "I'm gonna strike when you least expect it." she promised. She turned around and out the door she went.
"Austin," Jimmy said, filling the silenced air. Austin looks over at his boss. "We need to figure it out." Jimmy finally looks back over at Austin, "We need to figure out how to kill her."
"I'm on it!" Dez announces and immediately races to the research lab. Meanwhile Trish, Jimmy, and Austin, tried to find ways to calm down everyone in the office. They were traumatized.
