Pietro finally made it to Boston. Boston is the capital and largest city in Massachusetts, and is one of the oldest cities in the United States. The largest city in New England, Boston is regarded as the unofficial "Capital of New England" for its economic and cultural impact on the entire New England region.
The city proper had a 2009 estimated population of 645,169, making it the twentieth largest in the country. Boston is also the anchor of a substantially larger metropolitan area called Greater Boston, home to 4.5 million people and the tenth-largest metropolitan area in the country.
Pietro had ran up and was now standing on top of the Prudential Tower. He was enjoying the breeze and looking down below. As he looked down at Boston, he saw someone.
A girl with black hair. She was wearing a blindfold.
Pietro jumped off the tower and when he landed, he ran over to her.
"Excuse me," he said.
The girl turned toward him.
"Why are you wearing a blindfold?"
Pietro thought she may be blind, but she had no stick with her.
"I have no eyes," answered the girl.
"What?"
She pulled down the blindfold and Pietro gasped.
The girl had no eyes or even open eye sockets. There are indents of skin where her eyes would be.
She put her blindfold back on.
"My name is Ruth. I knew you'd come, Pietro."
"What? How'd you know I'd come here? And how did you know my name?"
"FREEZE, FREAKS!"
Pietro and Ruth were sounded by thirty or so men, all armed with weapons.
"Who the hell are you?" demanded Pietro, peeved.
"We're the M.R.D.! Now, hands up in the air were we can see them!"
"I don't think so," Pietro whispered.
"It's okay," said Ruth. "Help is coming."
"How do you know?"
"It's part of my power."
Before Pietro could ask more, a man with strawberry blond hair and blue eyes flew over them and gave out a sonic scream, causing the M.R.D. men to drop their weapons and cover their ears to try and block out the cream.
A woman with platinum blond hair and blue eyes used a psychic blast to knock all the M.R.D. men out cold.
The blond man flew down in front of Pietro and Ruth.
"Are you both okay?"
"Yes," answered Ruth. "Thank you."
"You are you?" asked Pietro.
"My name is Emma," said the blond woman. "This is Sean. Come with us."
