Sorry for all the huge cliffs lately. It's getting good, though.
alwayslost- They were lazer red-dot sights. They're on guns (mostly automated guns) to pick out their target. This chap will explain a little, but it'll all be cleared up later.

"So," Em began, thinking that maybe she had at least figured this one out, "I'm an Evo."
"Yeah," Circe nodded, walking beside her, "I think so, anyway."
Em slowly looked down at the girl. "What do you mean, you think so?," she asked.
Over the last few days, Em had found a, sort-of, friendship with the girl. Besides, Circe seemed like the only normal & sane person around. The woman clung to her like glue.
They were currently walking through the nearby forests, away from the rest of the Pack.
"I'm just saying," she defended, "that most Evos have, like, a physical thing, but you!" She looked up to Em, who looked down at her. "You're like, I don't know, physic or something."
After blowing a piece of hair out of eyes, Em said, "I have no idea. I mean, I never heard of physics before."
Circe stopped walking. "You lost you're memory," she said, "When you woke up, you never heard of Google before."
"You still haven't explained to me what Google is."
The teen face palmed, again. She liked Em, but half of the time, she felt like a baby sitter.
"It's-," she started to explain, "oh, nevermind."
"Circe," Em said, leaning next to the girl, "you promised that you'd help me get my memory back."
She had promised. "I don't think Google is going to help you, a whole lot," she replied.
After that little promise, Em had started asking all of the questions known to man. Circe had guessed that Em must have been a smart person, because half of the questions were completely beyond her. Then, sometimes, something like this would come out of the woman's mouth. What's Google? How many legs do dogs normally have? If two trains were traveling sixty-five miles per hour... yada yada.
Yeah, I've heard of amnesia, but this is pushing it.
Sometimes, Circe wondered if Em was just messing with her. Then again, the woman would give her that blank face every now and then.
"Aren't there some Evos around here?," Em said, pulling the teen out of her thoughts.
"Uh, yeah, I think so," she responded. That was another thing with the woman. Whether it was fighting or grabbing something across the room, she loved to use her powers.
Em ran over to a nearby clearing, Circe right behind her, and waited, her expression overflowing with joy. "You know," the teen said, "you could just do normal physic stuff, like reading minds or picking cards or-"
She was cut-off by the blank stare she was recieving. "Just saying," she said again, before transforming her mouth to call it out.
Em covered her ears, while Circe screamed. As soon as she heard the Evo coming closer, the girl changed her face back to normal and stood behind the older woman.
The worm-like Evo, as huge as the castle itself, jumped over the trees and started diving for them at an incredible speed.
That was another thing with Em. She was just a little bit too daring.
"Em," Circe said, when the Evo was suddenly getting closer.
Nothing.
"Em...," she said again, about to runaway.
Why does she do this to me? I know she can stop it. Oh, wow, it's right-
"Em!," she screamed.
About a foot away from them, the Evo suddenly hit an invisible wall. At the speed it was going, it just crunched up. Em moved her wrist at the Evo; the thing flew back and hit the ground hard. Circe assumed it was dead. She hated those worms anyway.
The girl looked over at the woman with a piercing glare. "Don't do that!," she told her.
"Do what?," Em asked, looking down at her, "I stopped it, didn't I?"
"That was close, though."
"Aw, we're alright," she said, with a smile, then she looked over at the Evo, a little worried. "That wasn't a person, right?"
"No," Circe said, starting to calm down, "it was just a worm."
"Oh, good, then," she said, back with the smile. Em walked passed her, patting the girl's shoulder as she went. Circe, somewhat relunctantly, followed.
"I'm not doing that again, by the way," she told her, shuffling her feet behind the woman.
Em was looking up at the sky, "that's what you said last time."
"Last time, it was still at least a yard away," she shot back. That's when she noticed the woman's expression. Looking up at the sky, she had that look. Either she was about to ask another crazy question or she was about to-
"Hold on," Em told her, as she wrapped her arms around Circe.
"Uhh-," was all the girl managed to get out, before they were both flying through the air. The teen quickly noticed that the ground was getting further and further away. She started screaming.
"Are you insane? What are you doing? Put me down! No wait, don't drop me! Just put me down! What are you doing?," she started her rambling.
"It's the sky," Em said, over the sound of the wind, "I don't remember it looking like that."
"You could have asked that on the ground!"
"I just want to see what's above the clouds."
"No oxygen, that's what! Now put us back down!"
Em stopped in mid-flight and looked over at the girl, who was clutching at her for dear life.
"Are you-," she started to ask, and then just went with it, "Are you scared of heights?"
"No!," she screamed back, "I'm just scared of the physcopathic woman that can fly! I mean, come on!"
"You know, even if I happened to let you go, you still wouldn't fall."
"There is a such thing as gravity!," she told her, still screaming.
"Why do you keep screaming?"
"Why are we having a conversation miles above ground level?"
Em shrugged, "Good as place as any. Alright, we'll go back."
"Slowly," Circe corrected.
As they slowly started to descend, Em said, "I wouldn't have let you fall. I could have caught you... with my mind!" She loved saying that.
"Whatever," the girl said, still a little shaken up, "just put me down."
Em chuckled and gently put Circe back on her own two feet. "There," she said, pointing at the sky, "now explain that."
The teen, adrenaline still pumping, was fidgety and dusted off her arms for no reason. "It's because we're in Abysus," she said, getting the air in her lungs back, "it's Ground Zero of the nanite event."
Em blankly stared at her.
"Nanite event," she tried again, "The huge explosion. It shook the globe. The entire Earth was affected."
"Earth?"
Circe felt her left eye twitch, a little. The woman doubled over, laughing.
"I'm kidding, I'm kidding," she said, in between breaths.
The teen felt her shoulders slump, probably out of pure exhaustion. Keeping up with Em was hard work.
"We should be getting back," she said, walking towards the castle.
Em followed right behind her. "So," she began, "what's with Providence?"
Circe looked over her shoulder. "You remember them?," she asked, "Well, I guess it's normal. To be a secret organization, they're kinda well known. Anyway, they take care of the Evos & stop them before they hurt anyone."
"Like you and me?," she asked, getting worried.
"Not really, like the crazy, rabid ones. Like, that worm thing you just mutilated. Evos like us, we could probably work with Providence to put a stop to it all."
"Then," Em asked, starting to get confused, "why aren't we there?"
"It's just," she looked down to the ground, "it's Van Kleiss. Evos aren't really accepted in the mainstream. People like you and me. Van Kleiss wants to change that, so that we could be equal. All the 'normal' Evos can be equal."
The woman nodded, understanding it a bit more. Then, something occured to her, "If Providence wants our help against the crazy Evos, then doesn't that mean they're trying to make us equal, too."
"Well," Circe stopped walking, "it's just- it's like a slave thing. They look at Evos, like us, as weapons. Well, the officials and higher ups of Providence do anyway."
Em looked at the girl, who refused to look back up to her. "Did you... look into it?"
"Well!," she had suddenly gained a small blush, and looked in the opposite direction, "It's- I sort of... I was invited, ok."
"Invited?," the woman asked, "To work for Providence? You were invited? How?"
"There's this... guy and-"
"You like him!," Em suddenly said, pointing at the girl's red face.
"No, I-"
"Don't lie to me," she said, waving her finger, "You so like this guy."
"Well, it's, umm," Circe started to randomly play with her hair. Anything is a good distraction.
"What's his name?," she smoothly asked.
The girl darted her eyes over to the woman. "Rex," she decided to just blurt out, "His name's Rex."
Rex?
"That sounds familiar," the woman said, pass the girl, "I can't place it though." She just waved it off as another one of those things. Earlier she was bored & started counting the bricks on the floor. She just couldn't shake off the number six. What was so special about a number?
Circe had already started to walk away.
Escape. Escape.
"So!," she heard Em's voice right behind her & almost jumped. "What's Rex like?"
o0o
Em has telepathic powers, if you didn't catch that. Yes, she's an Evo.
Sorry, it's short, I thought it would be longer than this. All well, the next chap should be decently long.
If Circe seems a bit ooc, sorry. She's only been in 2 eps so far, it's even kinda hard to remember her voice lol.
Also, those worms are from the ep 'Leader of the Pack'. I'm assuming that they were worms that had turned into Evos (and ignoring that fact that they had arms). Anyway, that's what they are in the fic. So, Em isn't a murderer. :D
