As I've mentioned before, I have been watching quite a bit of superhero oriented programs. My love for these long gone shows and movies have officially been rekindled. I've even found Transformers helpful even though the movies are, of course, about giant alien robots and not super powered people. The feeling and style of the movies seem to easily match up with what I have typed up so far. Hopefully all this research will show in my writing.

"Don't you ever wonder how we survive?"

Chapter Four: The Great Escape

"Are you blind?"

Dawn slapped her hands over her mouth as soon as the words flew from her mouth. Her blue eyes widened a fraction as the brunette girl she couldn't exactly remember the name of at that particular moment turned towards her. Dawn's cheeks flushed as she locked her eyes with the pale ones of the older girl. She appeared blind, but when she looked anywhere, at people specifically, she almost had the focus of a person with perfect sight. Of course this confused Dawn and of course her curiosity got the best of her and she just had to ask…

"I-I'm sorry, It's none of my business…" Dawn stammered bowing her head. May laughed once behind closed hips. Now she could see why Rolyn was so glad that she had saved the girl. Dawn was too innocent, almost fragile personality wise. From what she has been told, May was sure that it would take no time at all for the Metahuman Facilities to completely break the girl and make her into a psychopathic shell of a girl that she once was.

"It's alright," May said smiling gently. "I understand why you might be confused…"

Dawn simply nodded, but quickly corrected herself by speaking rather doing gestures the brunette probably couldn't see. Funny part was, May could see what she had just done and laughed.

"I am blind," May began with a tentative look. "But with my abilities I can see you…just not in the conventional way you're used to since you have sight." Dawn cocked her head in confusion. The girl was blind…but she could see…? Taking the twelve year olds silence as the insisting of further explanation, May sighed. "I have three distinctive abilities Dawn…"

"Oh, really!" Dawn suddenly interrupted. May almost jumped at the amount of excitement in the girl's voice. It sounded almost like she was impressed. May had never thought someone would be impressed by the very attributes that made her a social pariah. "I didn't know you could have more than one! Do you think I might have more than one?"

"I don't know…" May murmured. Dawn's excitement was a little off putting. "Well anyways, my abilities include healing capabilities, seeing visions of the future which is what has taken away my sight and telekinesis which is what gives me my sight."

"Telekinesis…?" Dawn muttered, her expression twisting in confusion once again.

"I can move things with my mind." May elaborated tapping a temple. If this had been Rolyn, she would have gotten frustrated and given up on the entire explanation but May actually enjoyed Dawn's curiosity to an extent. It made her like less of a freak and more like something special.

"But how does an ability that allows you to move things with your mind help you see…?" May ignored the disbelieving tone and forced a smile.

"Well you see, in order to move something with my mind I have to feel for it with my mind." May explained with a nod. "I can't really explain it fully, but when I wanna use my telekinesis there is this energy, I guess, that reaches out and wraps around whatever I am trying to move. It's like this energy is making a skin tight layer around whatever I'm reaching out to – morphing to it with my mind and it sends the details back to my mind so I have a basic outline of just about everything…It's almost like seeing in black and white."

"So you use you telekinesis all the time?"

May nodded. "Sometimes it tires me out though…and sometimes I can't control my telekinesis well or it's just too weak so I go blind." May murmured. That was actually the reason she hadn't left with Rolyn earlier that day to retrieve granola bars with the money she had pulled from a man's pocket telekinetically. She didn't condone stealing but sometimes it was necessary…luckily the man she had taken the money from was one who hadn't deserved it. He had been the leader of a prostitution ring. Rolyn had broken that ring up quite easily once the money had been pilfered.

"It must be hard…being blind…especially if it was caused by your powers." Dawn sighed. May shrugged. Sure, to be robbed of her sight was definitely a downside to her powers she wasn't very happy with, but she learned to deal with it…plus she only lost a normal capability to be gifted with a much more powerful one.

"Hey, guys," Rolyn came out of nowhere and Dawn had yelped in surprise before slapping her hands over her mouth for a second time, her face flushing in embarrassment. May had sensed the other girl coming and she was rather used to Rolyn popping out of nowhere so she didn't give much of a reaction. "You ready for this?"

"We've been waiting on you." May snapped. She may have agreed to helping Rolyn but she was still a little snippy from their argument…well purposely. She wanted Rolyn to squirm for a while for not heeding her warnings even though she was ignoring them right now as well. "We're ready for whatever you have planned."

"Good because I have something in mind…" Rolyn said as a smirk came to her lips. May was sure if she could still see in color, she would have seen a mischievous glint in Rolyn's silver eyes that she had only seen in her visions. Her random glimpses into the future were the only times she felt like she could actually see again.

"Rolyn, are you sure this is a good idea?" May suddenly voiced her concerns as she leaned against the wall of one of the buildings that made the ally way they were hiding in. The church was a couple blocks off and Rolyn had put up the security system of having anyone who touched the church electrocuted. Whatever Rolyn wanted to do into the late hours of the night required them to leave the sanctity of what has been their home.

"May, you can't back out now…" Rolyn stated firmly. May bit into her bottom lip, a sure fire sign of anxiousness, Rolyn had come to learn. Her glazed over eyes flickered downward, staring at boot clad feet…or at least staring as far as May's metaphorical sight would allow. May had only three pairs of shoes; she had her constantly breaking flip flops, worn out running sneakers and these boots she reserved only for the unforgiving cold front that Jersey always suffered through every year.

"I am not backing out." The brunette said firmly, finally lifting her head to lock her eyes with Rolyn's. Said girl pressed her lips together. May's body shook. "Well…I'm just having some doubts…What if…"

"No 'what-ifs'!" Rolyn cut off loudly. May cringed slightly. Rolyn stared at her, silver eyes suddenly going hard, resembling steel. They were cold too and even if May couldn't see it, she knew she was getting that look. She had seen it before in visions, so she sighed and nodded slowly, tucking her fears into the back of her mind. "Now, after doing a bit of searching…I found a few Metahuman Control Force losers loading up two people into a tanker. I didn't see enough but I know they're still close by and we can catch them to proceed with our first step towards the revolution."

Dawn suddenly bounced with excitement. Everything was so new and foreign. Everything was exciting and tantalizingly forbidden. What she was doing…what she was a part of now she couldn't fully understand. It was all flying over her head at the moment, but right now she had such an adrenaline rush. She was in the presence of two strong metahuman who wanted her as a part of their plans…well they told her to stay with them at all times…they never actually asked her for help.

"Gotcha." May said simply, putting her game face on. All anxiety and worries had been easily suppressed and now she was prepared for anything. Rolyn had taught her that. There was no room for nervousness when it came to your life and in this case, the life of others.

Rolyn nodded once. "Just follow me." She instructed before crouching down in front of Dawn. There was a moment of clueless silence from the navy haired girl before Rolyn sucked her teeth in frustration and ordered for the girl to climb onto her back. Dawn jumped at the harsh tone and quickly did what she was told, gripping onto Rolyn tightly as she also advised. Rolyn glanced back at May who simply nodded. Rolyn sighed before jumping.

Dawn screamed.

Her arms tightened on the older girl's neck; her legs wound around her midsection in a grip an anaconda would be jealous of and Rolyn's eyes widened as the twelve year old unconsciously choked her. Maybe she should have warned her. When Rolyn jumped, she flew. Prior to rescuing Dawn earlier that day and after she had gotten back to the church and left Dawn in May's care, Rolyn had went outside, stood in the church parking lot, head thrown back and eyes closed. She stood there for three straight hours, only moving when the sun did.

The sun was Rolyn's main source of energy to absorb. When she was younger, she would have to spend days in the sun rather than a few hours…mainly due to her incarceration where she barely received a hint of light for days. That was what induced her secret phobia of the dark. Now that she was older and gotten into more fights, dealt with more weapons, she had newer sources of energy. She figured out new ways to absorb, new energies to steal from. Light, fire, speeding cars…they were all sufficient sources of power.

Her legs propelled her so high into the sky that you could see her and Dawn's silhouette against the waning moon. May followed from behind, Dawn didn't even notice until she saw the brunette floating along Rolyn's left flank. The twelve year old blinked in awe. The brunette could fly too? She hadn't even mentioned it, but she could save her questions for later since she was falling…well Rolyn was falling. The silver eyed girl fell to the rooftops before pushing off again, leaving a dent in the roof of whatever building in her wake. Dawn whimpered.

Rolyn rolled her eyes. Dawn would have to get used to the constant up and down of jumping like this if she ever expected to travel with her and May. The brunette was an excellent telekinetic but she couldn't keep herself afloat, keep someone else afloat and use her special sight all at the same time. She had tried and Rolyn had ended up with a broken leg.

'There!" Rolyn suddenly called out. May extended her telekinetic reach and found the outline of the tanker. It was vibrating lightly, her mind told her; they were getting ready to leave. May's brow crunched together as she propelled herself forward, well past Rolyn and Dawn. She dropped herself abruptly in front of the tanker that was just inching away to depart. She set her jaw, narrowed her eyes and prepared herself.

To the officers in the tanker, the girl that suddenly touched down in front of them, set off warning bells. No normal person could drop out the sky the way the brunette did. Scowls suddenly became abundant among the three officers in the tanker. It was obvious what this girl was and this had them slipping out of the sanctity of their vehicle. A brawny man hung out of the passenger side window of the tanker his head and eyes obscured by a helmet and goggles, but his frown was deep and apparent.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" He called out. His voice was raspy and strained. May deduced he was a smoker. "You got a death wish or something, girly?" May stared at the goggled man and perked a brow.

May sighed, her breath materializing before her in a puff of vapor. She raised her hands slightly and as she did, she began to slowly lift from the ground and rise back up into the air gradually. That man who had been leaning out the tanker cursed loudly before barking a few orders. The orders were seen through and soon the three men were standing in front of the tanker, all of them reaching for weapons of different sorts and sizes.

With energy guns raised and normal guns on standby, May took in a breath and sighed. A brief flash at her first run in with the MCF had her shivering, but now she could defend herself. She hoped. Rolyn had told her she needed to know how and even though Rolyn couldn't understand May's powers fully, she trained with May and had her practice with all her abilities. May had come to master her telekinesis. Her special healing ability was top notch though scarcely used due to the risks it caused her. He visions, they were scattered, uncontrollable and sometimes painful.

She could do this. She could…

An officer cocked his gun only for it to be struck from his hand by a flash of lightning that came out of nowhere. The MCF officer cried out in pain and gripped the wrist his now scorned hand was attached to. The shock was evident on the other two officer's faces, but the confusion was short lived when a throat was cleared and the source of the sudden streak of light made herself known. Rolyn stood on top of the tanker, Dawn still clutched tightly to her back and her arms crossed tightly over her chest.

"Aiming guns at May?" Rolyn sighed before sucking her teeth. "Never a good idea. She may look a little nervous but the girl has quite the temper." Rolyn flashed May a brief reassuring smile. May smiled in return. She could do this.

A beat passed and May moved her right hand forward, palm faced up. The two, still uninjured men aimed again and Rolyn rid them of their weapons as well as they were suddenly hoisted into the air by an invisible force. Panic became apparent on the two officers faces and, snapping her fingers shut and closing her hand into a fist, the two men went flying towards one another, crashing together painfully.

"Yes!" Rolyn exclaimed excitedly, pumping a fist into the air. "That's it Maple! Show 'em what oppression does to a girl!" May suddenly felt invigorated. A broad smile pulled at her pink lips and her faded blue eyes were wide with the shock. This was…it was something else. Her heart was hammering and she couldn't stop the shivers now, but they weren't because of fear anymore.

"What should we do with them?" May called out suddenly. She wanted to know what to do next. What more excitement would she feel?

Dawn's eyes were wide.

"You know," Rolyn began, a sudden lopsided smile coming to her lips. "I think Dawn should handle this one." Rolyn adjusted the twelve year old on her back and Dawn whimpered, hiding her face in Rolyn's shoulder.

"Oh no, no, no, no, no!" Dawn cried gripping to Rolyn tighter. Rolyn gagged. "I can't! I-I can't control my powers like you guys!" Rolyn managed a reassuring smile as she pried Dawn from her back and set the navy haired girl next to her on top of the tanker cab.

"Teach 'em to never chase you again." Rolyn coaxed, nudging Dawn forward. The twelve year old resisted, her brow crunched together. She glanced between Rolyn's urging smile and the two men May had suspended in the air. She suddenly felt like there was no choice to be made. Taking in a deep breath she pulled her arms back before swinging them forward. The chilled wind whistles in a sudden gust.

The men went flying straight from May's mental hold and the brunette's brow shot up in surprise. They really got some distance. She ignored the feeling that whatever fall they had would likely leave them in critical condition. Kill or be killed, May had to remind herself…although May didn't believe Dawn was aware of what she just did…the fact that she possibly wiped two lives off the face of the earth.

"Alright Dawn!" Rolyn cheered with a boisterous laugh. She ruffled the preteen's hair and after the initial shock of what she had just done passed. Dawn suddenly craned her neck back and beamed proudly.

"I actually did it." Dawn giggled.

"Yes you did!" Rolyn agreed with a nod. Dawn's smile broadened.

May didn't join in on their celebration as Rolyn took the twelve years olds hands and began dancing her around in circles. The brunette instead cautiously made her way to the side of the vehicle. She didn't sense anymore presences, but there had been three officers and they had only gotten rid of two. The third one could have run off and was too far for her to see with her special sight. That was the greatest upside to using her telekinesis; she could see for about a mile radius around her at all angles. But she'd still be careful.

She slipped around the back of the tanker and pressed her hand to the bolted back door. The metal was special in all the tankers. They suppressed powers and had May snatching her hand away as her vision of outlines darkened a bit. She stared at the locks for a moment. They were well past industrial and there were five of them.

"Rolyn!" May suddenly called. The girl was at her side in a second, hopping off the side of the tanker and leaving Dawn to slide down the front on her own. Rolyn stared at the bolted door with May and instantly took the hint.

Rubbing her hands together, Rolyn leaned in, inspecting the doors to see if there was a place she could dig her hands into.

"No…" May said quickly when she noticed Rolyn reaching for the door. "The metal suppresses metahuman abilities." She explained when Rolyn perked a brow. Dawn was just coming to stand behind them, curiosity shining in her blue eyes.

Rolyn sucked her teeth. "They think of everything…" She rubbed her hands together again, this time at such an intense speed, her hands were just a blur for a second. After a minute, her hands began to smoke a bit. Dawn watched with wonder as Rolyn extended her hands out and by just getting within the same proximity of the bolts, they melted, slowly but surely. She had to pause every now and then to rub her hands together again to heat them up for the next bolt, but they didn't have to wait long for the doors to inch open with nothing holding them together.

May pulled them open the rest of the way with her telekinesis and Rolyn lit up a hand with a faint glow of light that illuminated the inside of the tanker. Two limp figures laid bound on the floor of the tanker; one boy and one girl. The boy looked average enough. May's brow furrowed a bit. He looked normal and handsome…By the way Rolyn had her eyes locked on him as well, May thought her companion had to agree, although looks could certainly be deceiving.

The girl curled up next to the boy looked more abnormal and more banged up, like she had been caught in struggle. Her pale skin was blotted with bruises and fresh cuts were still a raw red color. Her hair was a royal purple with stripes that reminded May of a tiger. The brunette presumed her metahuman abilities had altered her appearance.

Both captives were out cold. Both of them were sporting those Godforsaken inhibitor collars. Rolyn shivered at just the sight of them. Those collars roused too many memories she rather have remained buried.

"Well?" Rolyn said suddenly trying to distract herself. May looked towards her with useless eyes. "We can't get in the truck without passing out from that suppressing metal and every second longer they're in there, the worse it gets for them."

"I know." May hissed, shifting her weight from one foot to the other. After a moment she reached out a hand. With a lifting motion, the unconscious purple haired girl was raised from the floor of the tanker before being dragged out by May's invisible forces. The brunette set the girl down on the asphalt of the street before repeating the action for the boy. Once they were both out of the tanker Rolyn decided to be rid of the suppressing metals forces all together and with a firm push of her foot against the bumper of the tanker, it went speeding down the street.

"Are they alright?" Dawn asked in a small voice. Rolyn wondered the same thing.

May let her hands hover above the two unconscious teenagers. She didn't touch them but she let her hands wander from head to toe. After she was done with both, she nodded. "They'll be alright. I think I can heal them…"

"No." Rolyn said firmly.

May short her narrowed eyed look.

"You don't use your healing powers if you have no one to expel the pain on." Rolyn said. Her words were definite. May stood to her feet, muttering a low whatever.

Jason shot straight up and whoever was sitting so close to him when his personal space invasion alarm went off in his half-conscious mind, pulled away quickly, gasping lightly. Green eyes narrowed as he snapped his attention to the left to see a young girl…a bit younger than him. Her hair was long and in the right light he saw it was inexplicably a navy color. Her blue eyes were wide as she stared at him, motionless.

Where the hell was he? And who was the girl? His eyes moved away from her as he took in his surroundings. It looked like he was in a church…but how he got there, he was completely unsure. The MCF couldn't have paused here for anything, could they? Almost automatically he reached up and touched his neck. No collar.

"Are you okay?" The girl suddenly spoke up. Her voice was light. Jason stared at her for a moment. When he didn't respond, the girl took this as the okay to start speaking again. "Fury told me to keep an eye on you while she went to talk to May. My name is Dawn…d-do you have a name?"

"Where the hell am I?" He suddenly snapped. Dawn swallowed nervously.

"It's okay," She managed to say, hoping her words calmed him down. He looked edgy, like he was about to jump her. "Me and my friends saved you."

"Saved me?" Jason chided. Dawn nodded.

"Look who's awake,"

Dawn and Jason both averted their gaze towards the girl who was standing in the doorway to the room they were in. They were in the churches prayer room where there were only couches, a shelf full of bibles and a stained glass mural of Jesus getting baptized. Jason was sprawled out on one the couches while Alex had taken the other, still unconscious. Jason tried not to look in the purple haired girl's direction. They had saved both him and her…better they not know his connection to the girl before she woke up.

Instead, Jason stared at this girl, a brow perking at the sight of her. Her clothes were simple. Ripped jeans two sizes too big, dirty long sleeved shirt one size too small and steel toed boots. Perfect for giving a sexual predator a nice kick to the crotch, but that wasn't what had his attention. She was obviously dirt poor, but he couldn't help but think she was too pretty to be dirt poor. Her skin was like light coffee minus for a few dark scars around her neck. Her hair was an exotic unusual ivory color like milk was flowing from her head. Jason chuckled at the thought.

Her eyes were sharp and silver, but the color was faint. It was almost like her eyes were transparent. Yea, this girl was definitely pretty. He wouldn't mind having her…

"I'm surprised you woke up so soon after getting rid of the inhibitor," The girl spoke again as she entered the room. Jason licked his lips. Her hips swayed when she walked. "Usually it takes a little longer to recover from those things." She sounded like she spoke from experience.

Jason continued to stare at her, speechless. His eyes left her face and moved lower, taking a bit of time to unconsciously admire her chest. The condition of her clothes suddenly didn't matter. What they concealed was what peaked his interest.

"Hey!" The girl snapped. Jason brought his gaze up to her eyes. The annoyance was evident in her expression and her eyes were heated. Holy crap; her eyes made him shudder. "Eyes up here pervert or I'm chucking your ass into the nearest dumpster." She crossed her arms over her chest.

Jason smirked. The girl's expression changed. She perked a brow.

"You saved me?" He finally found his voice. She stared at him for a moment before nodding.

"Me and my friend…" She elaborated. May had done most of the work tonight. She couldn't forget the brunette. She was proud of how well May had done, but now the brunette was resting. She overexerted her telekinesis. She needed the time to recuperate. "My friends call me Rolyn,"

"Alright Rol…" He began, his smirk broadening. He liked her name.

"But you can call me Fury." She cut off suddenly. Jason's brow shot up. She was a feisty one, apparently. He could work with that though. He actually quite liked it. He always enjoyed when a girl put up a fight. "Good work keeping an eye on him Dawn." Rolyn no longer paid him any mind. She was smiling sweetly at the navy haired girl. He cocked his head to the side.

"So…Fury…" He drawled sitting up on the couch. "How'd you save me? Last time I checked the MCF weren't an easy bunch to deal with, thanks for the help by the way."

Rolyn turned away from Dawn and blinked. "You're welcome…" She murmured. "And the MCF aren't that hard to handle as long as you know what you're doing. I've faced them enough times to know."

She was a metahuman…interesting. "So you have an ability…"

"Obviously." She retorted.

There was a brief stare down. Jason sighed. "What kind of power is it?"

"Absorption."

"Of what?"

"Energy."

He paused. A girl who absorbed energy…why did that set something off in his mind? He looked at her face; it suddenly felt familiar. Her name had been thrown around. He suddenly thought of his employer and the man's rage. The mention of one particular facility escapee caused such rages. Rolyn…he remembered seeing the name right below one of his targets on a special list…

Crap, she was one of the most wanted…

"I've heard of you…" He muttered.

She snorted. "Who hasn't?" She chuckled. "I am the bane of the MCF's existence."

"I like a girl with power." He said with a wolfish smile. Rolyn scoffed. Who did this guy think he was?

"Well then you're gonna love me." She responded. Jason let his eyes rove over her body once again, this time discreetly, before he locked eyes with her and nodded. "So, what's the power?" Rolyn sat next to Dawn, pulling the twelve year old into her. Funny what a couple hours could do to a girl's paternal instinct. Rolyn said she wasn't about attachments yet here she was holding Dawn like the girl was her own daughter.

"My body…" Jason began huskily. He smirked and Rolyn narrowed her eyes, cupping her hands over Dawn's ears. She didn't like where his explanation was going…or the look in his eyes. Dawn looked between the two in confusion. "It turns into metal. Head to toe…the metal has been tested and it's indestructible."

"So you're a walking battering ram?" Rolyn questioned removing her hands from Dawn's ears.

"Well when I didn't know everything I was capable of, yes." Jason responded leaning back on the couch and smirking. "But after a while I realized that strength, a healing factor and morphing here also in my arsenal. My hands can become and close range weapon you can think of."

"Good thing I'm and expert at long range." Rolyn murmured. "So do you know you're friend's ability?" Rolyn gestured to the still unconscious purple haired girl and Jason frowned. Yea, she was still an issue. When she woke up she'd probably shoot her mouth off. Maybe the blows she took to the head could advert such an issue but he didn't exactly like taking risks. He was stuck in bad place.

He had obviously been double crossed tonight. His employer promised him immunity in all senses of the word when it came to the MCF. It wasn't news that he was working under their thumb. They must have deliberately came after him when he found Alex. It was the only explanation with no holes. He was lucky he was saved. He couldn't go back now. The freedom he was promised was a hoax to get him to try his best.

The MCF wanted him and this girl probably wouldn't be too forgiving. She obviously had a temper and after what he saw, her abilities were influenced by how she felt. She'd wake up pissed and attack him as a giant tiger, he could see it now.

"I don't know her ability." Jason lied immediately.

"You were loaded up into the tanker together…" Rolyn pointed out.

"The MCF do have detectors now. You don't have to be using your powers for them to know you are a metahuman. Do I look like my abilities affected the way I look?" Jason all but snapped. Rolyn had to give him that. Though she had never heard of these detectors. Last she heard, it was near impossible to determine a normal human from a metahuman without a blood sample…unless whatever mutation to their existence they had affected their appearance.

"Alright…" Rolyn murmured. "Well then you just relax for a bit…I think I'm gonna go get some rest. C'mon Dawn." Rolyn stood to her feet and extended her hand out to the twelve year old. "If you're still awake and your friend wakes up…"

"She's not my friend." Jason said quickly. "She's not my girlfriend either in case you were wondering. The position is waiting to be filled." He smirked and winked at Rolyn. The silver eyed girl stared at him for a moment, her eyes wide.

"I'll keep that in mind." She said finally. Jason chuckled. "But don't get your hopes up." She added quickly before dragging Dawn out of the room by the hand. Jason watched her leave…well he watched her ass. And what an ass it is, he thought to himself. Maybe if he stuck around long enough he could get the Fury to put out. It was an enticing thought.

All finished. I don't know if it's been made any clear yet but when I rated this T I seriously meant T. I'm gonna have fun testing new waters with this…a BUNCH of fun. Maybe you'll have fun reading it? Anyhoo, it's late. I'm tired…but it's likely I won't get to sleep. Insomnia has taken over my life. I hope you all liked this next chapter and I promise everyone will meet up soon. Thanks for reading!
