So no comments on the ending, it's very open for a sequel as I've been saying all along I might do if you want me to :P This was a fun little story to write as well ^^ So on with the last chapter of "Heroes - The beginning", enjoy :)

Chapter 4

Secret's exposed

Elle woke up in a bed, but it wasn't her bed, she looked around with her eyes blue eyes and found herself in a lab room. How long she'd been passed out she didn't know, all she knew was that in her arm was an IV and her hands were strapped don on the bed, but there was no water anymore. Quickly Elle twitched her hands and ran electricity down her hands and broke free from the straps. She sat up and took out the IV and looked at herself. She wore the same clothes as she had when the testing started.

Elle jumped off the bed and walked out of the room and found her way back to her own bedroom where she found some new jeans and a dark blue sweater to wear. She ran a brush through her hair and stepped back out.

Loud discussion was heard from down the hall, it was Elle's dad and some other guy she didn't recognize the voice of. What they were arguing about Elle couldn't hear until they were closer.

"There is no excuse; you shouldn't have let him escape!" Bob, Elle's father, snarled.

"He's very powerful Sir." A man said.

"This you already knew." Bob told the man.

"Daddy?" Elle said as she came around the corner, she knew that if they caught her and she didn't say anything they'd take her for spying on them.

"Elle, you're awake." Bob said suddenly smiling.

"Yep, how long was I out?" Elle asked tilting her head with a smile while her eyes studied the other man, tall dark skin, short hair, muscular, blue shirt and pants.

"Two days. We've been watching you closely in case something should happen." Bob said.

"That's weird; there was no one in there." Elle said with a shrug.

"Someone should have." Bob mumbled annoyed.

"What were you arguing about?" Elle asked, "I could hear you yelling all the way down the hall." Elle added when she saw the suspicious faces of the men in front of her.

"Nothing, just boring shop talk." Bob said.

"Wait, two days, what time is it?" Elle suddenly asked.

"9.30am." Bob said, "Why?"

"School! I've been out for two days!" Elle said, "I've got to go." She added and turned.

"Wait Elle, you might not be strong enough yet." The dark guy said, his voice was robust but yet sort of nice.

"I can handle it." Elle said creating a sparkling ball with electricity in her hand and holding it ready to fire.

"Go on Elle." Bob told his daughter and shushed her off with a move of his hand.

"Terry, what are you going to do?" Elle heard the teacher's voice inside the classroom.

"I don't know, I thought about making a hell dimension in Photoshop and make it look real." Terry answered sounding very neutral like he didn't care.

Elle opened the door and everyone stared at her.

"Miss. Bishop, nice of you to join us, take your seat and Claire will explain the assignment to you soon." Mr. Gown said.

Elle silently slid down on her seat.

"Claire, what will you do?" Mr. Gown asked Claire.

"I'm going to make a small film where I will do something that looks like it should hurt and have scars for weeks and edit it like it heals itself right away." Claire said looking pretty satisfied with her choice Elle thought.

"Good, now you can start your assignments, storyboard,"Mr. Gown said looking at Claire with a smile, "article planning and so on." He said and sat down behind his desk starting to scribble down something in a notebook.

"So what's the task?" Elle asked Claire.

"You have to make something supernatural and make it look real. You can choose to do anything." Claire said finding pen and paper to start making her storyboard."

"Oh, and you're focusing on healing?" Elle asked.

"Yep." Claire said nodding while starting making rectangles to draw in.

"Hmm…" Elle thought to herself, this was easy; she could use her own powers to do the task. As Claire did Elle also found pen and paper starting to sketch, she wasn't the best drawer, but she was decent, her dad used to say she had her mom's talents.

"What are you drawing?" Claire asked Elle after half an hour.

"Just a storyboard like you." Elle said satisfied with herself and her idea.

"What is that?" Claire asked pointing at a draw.

"It's a girl from behind shooting lightning out of her hands setting that old house on fire." Elle said twisting her pen between her fingers smiling of the thought.

"Nice, how are you going to do that?" Claire asked.

"Oh I have my ways." Elle said mysterious, besides, I already did once, Elle thought to herself.

"That was vague." Claire commented.

Elle shrugged.

"Where have you been the past few days?" Claire asked.

"I was sick." Elle lied.

"You seemed fine two days ago." Claire said frowning.

"One of those 48 hours bugs." Elle said smug glancing at Claire.

"48 hours?" Claire asked doubtful.

"Why do you wonder or care so much?" Elle asked suddenly almost hissing and turned all the way to look at Claire.

"Sorry, I'm just trying to help if there's something going on…" Claire said backing off right away.

"Well there isn't, so why don't you just get off my back Cheerleader or you'll regret it!" Elle said and turned away.

"Sorry." Claire said and thought she saw a blue spark at Elle's hand, but it had to be something she'd imagined she thought.

Elle quickly finished her drawings and got up before class was over and left the papers on Mr. Gown's desk before heading for the door.

"Miss Elle Bishop, where do you think you're going?" Mr. Gown asked Elle and stopped her.

"Out." Elle simply said tilting her head and smiling at Mr. Gown.

"Not until class is over, and it is still 15 minutes left young lady." Mr. Gown said.

"Well I'm done with the day's work so out of my way." Elle said and she pressed her hand against Mr. Gown's chest, he jumped and Elle walked out without tensing a muzzle, just a sort of satisfied attitude.

Claire got up and ran out after Elle, "I'll talk to her." She quickly said to the teacher. Elle must have used a power on Mr. Gown to make him jump like that, but what Claire didn't know.

"Elle! Hey Elle, wait up!" Claire yelled after Elle who were crossing around back into a big place where no one used to be.

"Elle!" Claire yelled again.

"Leave me alone Cheerleader!" Elle called back not even turning.

"I know you did something to Mr. Gown, you have an ability don't you?" Claire challenged.

Elle stopped, "What kind of ability would that be?" she asked still not turning.

"I don't know, but I know you got something, you're just like me." Claire said, that was dangerous, she wasn't even sure if Elle had a power.

"Like you? What can you do?" Elle asked turning half way.

"I heal." Claire said.

"You're insane." Elle replied and turned back.

"No I'm not, and I know you have it, so why don't you just tell me?" Claire pushed.

"You really want to know?" Elle asked.

"Yes." Claire said at once.

Fine, Elle thought. She raised her hands, spun around and sent electoral lightning bolts right at Claire and hit the girl who got knocked over by the power. "There, that's my ability." Elle said smiling a little psychotic.

"It's cool." Claire said as she got up, her face doing the final healing touch.

Elle stared at her.

"Told you; I heal." Claire smiled.

Elle smirked and Claire smiled back walking up to Elle. This could be the start of a beautiful friendship, oh if they'd only known what was coming at them they might not be so happy ….
