Chapter 4 Robin
"Why isn't it working?" Cameron asked, sounding frustrated. They were in Chase's apartment and Cameron was trying to activate her power.
"You said anger was your trigger," Chase said. "Maybe we should try getting you angry."
"How are we supposed to do that?" Foreman asked. Chase thought of it for a moment and looked at Cameron.
"Cameron remember a few months ago when House's favorite coffee mug mysteriously broke and you got blamed for it?"
Cameron nodded, not sure where he was going with this. "I broke it."
"What!" Cameron exclaimed angrily, glints of blue already flashing in her eyes. "I had to do his clinic duty for a whole month and not to mention the new mug he forced me to buy!"
Foreman noticed the small sparks in her eyes. "It's working," he said. "Keep going."
"Uh…" Chase tried to think, but Foreman quickly came up with something before the sparks could fade.
"Remember that article I stolen from you, I got a cash prize from the medical board and I didn't tell you."
"Son of a bitch!" Cameron exclaimed, just as the lights in the apartment started flickering like crazy.
"Is she doing that?" Foreman asked Chase who shrugged. He turned his attention back to a pissed Cameron. The auras in her eyes were flashing blue and he can hear the static sound of electricity going haywire in his electrical devices. It was as if she was controlling it.
"House accidently broke your old pair of glasses and I knew and didn't tell you."
"Chase I spent 300 bucks to replace them!" she yelled angrily, the heat in her eyes getting stronger. The electricity was now crackling loudly and the light bulbs started blowing out from too much power. The furniture slowly started to hover off the ground. Foreman and Chase were amazed at how much power she had.
"House told me he doesn't like you!" Foreman yelled and the next thing they knew, everything in the house was floating in the air. Cameron yelled from the amount of power rushing through her and they knew they had to calm her down.
"Cameron that's enough!" Chase exclaimed in alarm as the power from the whole apartment complex started flickering as well. "Make it stop! Control it!"
"I can't!" she cried, suddenly feeling the heat in her hands, the same heat that was burning in her eyes and before her powers can progress she finally managed to control it. The blue light in her eyes were gone. The power was completely off and all the furniture came crashing down to the floor around them. They just stood there in awe.
"That was a lot of power," Foreman said in amazement.
"If you can control electricity and be telekinetic, do you think we have more than one power too?" Chase asked, looking from Cameron to Foreman.
"I don't know, should we try?" Foreman asked.
"I don't think we should be messing with this," Cameron said, her voice full of uncertainty. "Look how out of control my powers got. I was barely able to stop it. What if you can't control yours and something bad happens."
"Cameron no offense but I think yours is as powerful as it gets, now come on pressure me," Foreman said, eager to see how far his power can go.
"Fine," she sighed. "But let's be careful please. We don't know what we're dealing with."
"Don't worry, we'll stop before things get out of control," said Chase before turning his attention to Foreman.
"You have to be the best Foreman. In this career there is no such thing as being second place. It's either first or nothing. Cameron and I are your competition. With us working for House you won't stand a chance." Foreman can feel the power in his muscles as Chase continue to pressure him to be the best. He started ranting about work, his race, his family and right when he said he'll never amount to anything he couldn't control his fist from slamming into the wall, creating a giant hole. Chase kept going though and before he knew it the same blue light that had flashed in Cameron's eyes was suddenly surrounding him like a shield. Chase stopped talking and grabbed a nearby DVD that had fallen on the floor and threw it at Foreman but it only bounced off of his shield. Once Foreman had calmed down, the shield disappeared into nothingness.
"Awesome," Chase said. "You have a shield too. Come on scare the shit out of me."
Foreman and Cameron looked at each other, their eyes flashing in excitement. Foreman approached Chase and without warning he moved to sock him in the face but before his fist could even make contact, Chase raised his hands and Foreman literally froze in time.
"Foreman?" Cameron said, going over to him and trying to get him out of it. "Chase what did you do?"
"I think I froze him," he said in shock.
"Well then unfreeze him."
"How?" Chase asked, moving away from Foreman's fist.
"I don't know, do that thing with your hands," Cameron suggested. Chase raised his hands and focused all his power into it. It worked because Foreman immediately came back to life.
"What the hell happened?" Foreman asked in confusion as he noticed Chase had suddenly appeared next to Cameron.
"I froze you in time," Chase said in amazement just as they heard screaming outside. All three of them rushed to the window to see a young woman getting mugged by three thugs.
"Should we help her?" Chase asked.
"What like superheroes?" Foreman smirked. They stayed quiet, suddenly realizing how cool that sounded until another scream pulled them out of their thoughts. Cameron's eyes flashed blue in anger as they continue to harass the young girl.
"Let's go before Cameron electrocutes us," Chase said before they rushed out the door.
"Hey, let her go!" Chase yelled as soon as they approached the thugs. The girl stood there terrified. As soon as they turned to face their intruders, the girl ran as the thugs pulled out a gun and shot at Chase but he froze the bullets before they even had the chance to hit him. They looked freaked out as Chase moved away from the hovering bullets so they aimed their guns at Cameron and Foreman. Foreman blocked them with his shield and Cameron counterattacked them, throwing the bullets towards them with her telekinesis, her eyes shining blue the whole time. Chase suddenly went invisible and managed to get their guns away and before they can fight back Cameron lifted them into the air. One of them had managed to escape Cameron's sight but Foreman caught him and managed to knock him out with one punch.
"That's not how you treat a lady boys," she said before throwing them against a wall and knocking them out. Smiling at each other, they started to head back to the apartment before anyone can see them but stopped when they suddenly heard someone clapping behind them.
"Bravo, I give you props for a bunch of firsties," said a cool voice behind them. A woman had appeared out of nowhere. She wore black leather pants and a black tank top complete with leather knee high boots. She had flowing long auburn hair and her eyes were glowing just like Cameron's but instead of blue they were red.
"Who are you?" Cameron asked, sounding hostile. She didn't trust her. They were shocked that there was someone else like them and briefly wondered if there were more. The woman only chuckled in amusement, her eyes turning back to its regular dark brown color.
"I'm Robin," she answered, walking towards them. Cameron didn't miss the way she checked out Chase or the way she looked her up and down.
"Where's Batman?" Cameron scoffed, her eyes shining with blue sparks. She received a glare from Robin as Foreman asked, "Where did you come from? Are there more of you?"
"I come from a private academy where we teach people like us to control their powers. You're not the only one. If you join us, not only will you learn to control them, but you'll learn how to master them."
"And why should we trust you," Cameron spoke up, her eyes still flashing. She had a bad feeling about this so called private academy.
"I don't want you three exposing yourselves or our people." They were quiet as they thought about what she said. Millions of questions were running through their mind and Chase was the first one to break the silence.
"Can you give us a minute?" he asked, wanting to go over their options with Cameron and Foreman. Robin nodded.
"Make it quick," she said. "I don't have all night." She walked away, leaving a good distance between them.
"Should we trust her?" Chase asked in hushed voice as they gathered together in a circle.
"Do we have a choice?" Foreman asked.
"Wait a minute, you're actually considering this?" Cameron asked in disbelief. Was she the only one who sensed that there was something off with this offer?
"We can't control our powers Cameron let alone how to use them," Chase said a little impatiently. "Foreman's right, I really don't think we have a choice in the matter."
"I think we should trust her," said Foreman. Cameron was fuming, not believing how naïve they were being. She felt the heat in her eyes again and her eyes were shining.
"Cameron!" Chase exclaimed, noticing her anger, but it was too late. She couldn't control it. The electricity around them started going haywire and random objects were hovering in the air. Noticing what was going on, Robin angrily approached them and smacked Cameron hard in the face. The electricity around them blew out and the cars, trash cans, and other objects that were hovering about a foot in the air fell back down to the ground. Cameron eyes were back to normal as she bravely stared Robin down through the darkness with the loud sound of car alarms going off around them.
"That's why you have to trust me," Robin said darkly. "You have no idea how powerful you are and you can't even control it." Cameron's face softened at those words as she realized Robin was right. She could barely control her powers. Once they started, it was almost impossible to stop them. She could've exposed them all.
"What about work? We can't just leave, we're doctors," Cameron said to Foreman and Chase.
"She's right," Chase said. "We have lives. People will know we're missing."
"We can schedule your classes after work hours and Saturdays. You'll have Sundays off." They looked at each other, each knowing what the other was thinking. They can pull this off and even though Cameron was still hesitant, she agreed to go with her as well.
