Lauren's Pov

"No," I screamed. Andy grabbed me as I tried to get to Wes. I could see his heart laying on the ground next to his body. I couldn't process that he could be dead even though all of my senses pointed to it.

"No, Andy, Let me go!" I said as I struggled to get out of Andy's grip.

"Lauren stop. You can't help him." Andy said tightening his grip around my waist.

I looked at Rebecca who was smiling, "Aw, are you sad? Did I kill someone you care about?" She said in a mocking tone.

"I will end you" I growled at her. All of the windows in the warehouse shattered, the glass falling inward. Andy let go of me. I threw one of my disks at her but missed her as she leaned out of the way. I tried again and hit her leg but only cut half of it. I realized I was too angry to actually hit anything I was aiming at.

"Missed me," Rebecca said smiling at me with her insane smile. I glared at her as my vision became blurry and hot tears spilled down my cheeks. I stumbled backward against Andy as a sob wrenched itself from my chest.

He hugged me tightly, "Go, you're not ok, you can't fight right now." he whispered in my ear. He pushed me behind him.

He turned around and yelled, "Mia, Get her and Jack out of here."

Mia nodded and grabbed me, I watched as darkness swirled around me. I closed my eyes. When I opened them again I was on the ground in a different spot. Mia was kneeling next to me looking over boxes, presumably to see what was happening. All of a sudden I got really dizzy from whatever Mia did.

"Mia, take me back. I want to help Andy. I want to kill her," I said trying to get up but falling against the boxes behind me. I was shaking, I wanted Rebecca dead. I wanted her to die slowly and painfully. I was shaking with anger.

"No," Mia said, getting up. She pulled out an arrow and looked out the broken window. "If you want to fight someone you can help me find us a way out of here. There are still purifiers surrounding us, remember."

I turned around to watch Andy as Jack ran over. "I couldn't find any exits that aren't covered." He said to Mia.

"Then we'll just have to make one," Mia said. "Jack go check around the car, see how many purifiers are there, see if we can get out through there"

I watched Andy fight Rebecca. I wanted to go help him desperately. I wanted to kill her, but we couldn't kill her. For some reason, she just wouldn't die.

Mia's Pov

I turned around and saw Lauren still on the ground watching Andy and Rebecca's fight. Andy had basically been just trying to keep her down so he could get out of there but Rebecca was too fast for him.

Rebecca was taunting him the entire time, "Did you get less powerful since you killed me?"

"Leave Rebecca, stop hurting other people just to get to me," Andy said backing up a couple of feet.

"I would but hurting other people is a lot more fun," Rebecca said trying to use her powers on Andy. He used his powers to push her backward stopping her from focusing to use her powers.

I glanced at Lauren, she was watching the fight. A few tears were still falling from her eyes. Her eyes seemed to have a slight golden tint to them. It was probably just the light or something. The glass on the ground around us started to move towards her slightly.

"Lauren," I said, nudging her. She didn't even notice me. "Lauren," I said slightly louder and nudged her harder.

She shook her head a little and looked at me, "What?" The glass stopped moving.

"Are you ok?" I said, I mean her ex-boyfriend was just killed in front of her.

"Well giving the circumstances I don't think any of us are fine," Lauren said. "We need to help Andy, he can't stop her without killing her but she can't be killed. I've tried, it doesn't work, she just heals."

"So, we have to stop the healing process," I said.

"Yeah, if we hurt her bad enough she should take a bit to heal, giving us time to get away from here. No guarantee though," she said turning back towards the fight.

"You and Andy can like to combine your powers, right? What if you just do that?" I said motioning with my hands something blowing up.

"No, too destructive, we don't want the cops to know we're here. They still think we're in D.C. although some do think we are in Atlanta. A few even think we might be in New York. Not many have guessed Philadelphia and we want to keep it that way. Besides it would kill everyone here," Lauren was watching her brother while talking. He wasn't making any progress at stopping Rebecca. If anything he was losing, he kept backing up trying to find an opportunity to get away from her.

"Understandable, there is also the whole purifier problem outside," I said nodding. I glanced outside. They had set up a perimeter. This was getting worse the longer we stayed. We were just giving them more time to prepare.

"We'll deal with that when we get there. Andy and I are pretty good fighters as long as the person we're fighting doesn't just get back up again every time we knock them down." Lauren said motioning at Rebecca. Suddenly she looked up at me, "Mia do you think you could shoot Rebecca in the head? Brain injuries take a while to heal even with a healing factor. It won't kill her but it might give us enough time to escape."

"I don't know. I haven't been very good with accuracy and I'd have to get behind her so she wouldn't see me," I said shaking my head. I gripped the arrow in my hand tighter.

Lauren got up and grabbed my arm, "You have to try, Mia," she turned around and pointed to a small balcony in the back of the warehouse. "What about up there. You would be behind her."

I pressed my lips together in a frown and looked at the ledge with worried eyes, "I'll try. No promises though."

Lauren squeezed my arm and smiled at me before crouching down and resuming watching the fight.

I teleported onto the balcony and hid in shadows so no one would see me there. I notched my arrow onto the string of my bow. I looked at the fight below me, I could see Andy struggling to keep Rebecca from using her powers. From what I could tell if she could keep her focus for long enough we would all be dead in a matter of seconds.

I took a deep breath and held it as I pulled my bow back. I aimed directly at the back of Rebecca's head and prayed that she wouldn't move. I breathed out and let the arrow fly. It hit her directly in the back of her head.

"Yes," I said smiling. I teleported back down to the ground and stumbled a bit as I landed. I felt a drop of blood drip down my nose. I wiped the blood on the back of my hand.

I walked over to Andy, "You ok?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little tired," he said. Lauren walked over to where Wes's body was. Andy noticed and went over to her.

Jack came over from wherever he was hiding. "Well that was crazy," he said. His tone was weird, I couldn't put my finger on it. Almost concerned but angry, it was just weird.

"Yeah no duh. Wes died." I said. I looked at Jack and something about him just threw me off for a second. "Or did you forget already?"

I walked away shaking my head. I didn't like him, he just dismissed Wes's death like it was nothing. Something was off about him.

Lauren was kneeling next to Wes's body crying. Andy was next to her trying to calm her down enough to leave. I looked down at Wes's body and I could barely process it not having even known the guy. I couldn't imagine what it would feel like for someone who had known him.

"I'm sorry but, we have to find a way out of here. Purifiers are everywhere and they are just getting more prepared by the second," I said walking over.

Andy nodded, "We have to try to get the supplies back to headquarters so people don't have to go out again."

"Ok, but we still need a way back to the car," I said.

Jack walked over, "What if someone distracts the purifiers while the others go to the car?"

"That sounds like a good way to get the person distracting someone killed," I said.

"That's actually not a bad idea," Andy said as he stood up. "If Lauren and I can distract them, you two could take the stuff to the car. Then we'll meet you there once we can stop the purifiers. We're good fighters just not against someone who can't be killed."

"Really all you have to do is take away their guns and then they get scared and run away," Lauren said standing up and wiping her tears away. Her face was blank. She must have been just pushing everything down inside her.

"Ok," I said as I grabbed one of the bags I had discarded earlier. "Let's do this."

Andy and Lauren headed to a different side of the warehouse to distract the purifiers. Hopefully, this would work.

I stood hidden by shadows just outside the door. Jack was standing behind me.

"Your powers, they're cool," he said, glancing at the shadows around us.

"Shut up. We don't want them to hear us," I said. I was holding my bow with an arrow at the ready. It was likely that most of the guards would leave to help their friends but one or two would stay. I could shoot them in their arm stopping them from being able to fire their gun then problem solved no more purifiers guarding the car.

Jack sighed. I heard some loud noises coming from the side of the warehouse that sounded like a mixture of gunfire and explosions. The purifiers watching the car looked up. They talked for a minute then most left leaving two guys to keep guarding the car. I waited until they rounded the corner before aiming at the guy guarding the front of the car's shoulder. I was shaking a little as I let my arrow go and hit his thigh. Close enough.

I walked over to him and hit him over the head with my bow knocking him out. His friends tried to shoot at me but held out my hand and teleported his bullets behind me. I hit his arms with my bow disarming him then I pulled out an arrow and this time actually shot him in the shoulder like I planned to do with the first guy. I was still shaking a little from all of the adrenaline running through my body.

I took one of the guns and handed it to Jack when he walked over. He took the gun from me warily, "That was badass. Remind me not to mess with you."

"Thanks, trust me I won't let you forget it," I said, grabbing two bags to throw them in the trunk of the car.

Jack and I got all of the bags into the car in about five minutes. As I put the last one in I heard the crackling of a walkie-talkie. I heard one of the guys say into his walkie, "Muties, the car. Help"

I walked over. It was the guy I had shot in the shoulder. "Dude not cool," I said as I hit him in the head with my bow knocking him out. I turned to Jack, my adrenaline kicking back in.

"Hide," I said pushing Jack into the back seat of the car. "I'm going to distract them. When they are distracted I want you to drive away. Hide the car close to the entrance, so we can get out easier. I'm going to get Andy and Lauren then come find you."

"What, no. We're supposed to stick together, splitting up is how people die in basically every single movie." Jack said.

"Well if we don't split up there will be a much bigger chance of both of us dying and that only happens in horror movies," I said as I desperately tried to figure out a plan.

Jack rolled his eyes and glared at me, "Fine."

I closed the car door and hid behind the car. I watched as about six purifiers rounded the corner. I looked for a place for me to teleport to so I could start to distract them so Jack could get away. I had to stop them before they got to the car.

I looked up and saw a broken window with a pretty big ledge on the second floor. I teleported into a crouching position on the ledge. I waited for a second before shooting an arrow at one of the purifiers. It hit the back of his shoulder and he fell to the ground. I quickly hid in the shadows as the rest of the purifiers started frantically looking for me. I quickly shot another arrow at the guy closest to the car. One of them must have seen where the arrow had come from because they started shooting at the window I was kneeling on.

I teleported directly in the middle of the circle that they had made. I hit one guy in the head with my bow knocking him out. When I hit another in the arms, disarming him he grabbed my bow stopping me from hitting him, the other two started shooting at me. I teleported the bullets away from me. I heard the car engine start. I had to keep the purifiers distracted. I kneed the guy holding my bow in the balls and once he let go I shot him in the shoulder. I turned around breathing heavily to face the last two purifiers, my nose starting to bleed again. I shot one in the arm and hit him in the head and the last one started to run back to where he came from after I had disarmed him, terrified. I shot him in the thigh to stop him from getting more of his friends.

I turned around to make sure Jack got away. The car was almost to the entrance. I turned around, I still had the element of surprise for the rest of the purifiers. I had to help Andy and Lauren. I started to run towards the corner of the building not wanting to use my powers. I needed to save my strength just in case.

Lauren's Pov

Andy and I were on the opposite side of a doorway getting ready to do our part of the plan. I nodded at him and we attacked at the same time. It felt good to finally be able to just fight and not have the person just get back up again. It was a good release for my anger.

We fought for a couple of minutes before someone threw a grenade at us. We both ran in opposite directions. Well if they planned to split us up they weren't doing a bad job and that wasn't a bad plan. We were better when we were fighting together, I couldn't explain it we just were.

I ducked behind a column that was very helpfully placed. The column was weird; it was two walls coming together to form a corner. I leaned around one of the walls to see what was going on. I heard a gun go off and I felt a white-hot pain go through the top of my right arm.

"Damnit," I said. I looked to see where the bullet hit me and how bad. it had hit about three inches below my shoulder. The bullet skidded along my skin but was still in my arm. I put my arm over the wound to try to stop the bleeding.

I could feel the pain slowly increasing. Andy ran over to me, "Are you ok?"

"No Andy, I got shot," I said, my voice shaking slightly from the pain. "How did you even know to come to find me?"

"I don't know. I had a gut feeling I guess," he said he pulled my hand away from my arm gently. "Well, that's not good."

"Yeah no duh. Ow!" I said as the pain suddenly got a lot worse. My powers started to activate. I could feel them on top of the pain.

A purifier rounded the corner. He took one look at us and shot his gun. Andy tried to push the bullets away but instead of going back towards the guy who shot at us they just kind of stopped in mid-air and started shaking. I realized it was because my powers were affecting the bullets too. I watched as the bullets disintegrated.

The purifier who shot at us said, "What the hell" he tried to shoot at us again but before he could the gun in his hand started to disintegrate. I exchanged a scared look with Andy. We were somehow doing this and had no idea how to stop it.

The guy started to back up as his hands disintegrated. He screamed and yelled for the other purifiers to run as the rest of his body disintegrated. He turned into a pile of dust in seconds.

"Oh my god," I said looking in the space where the man just was. "Did we just..."

"Yeah. We did" Andy said. I took a sharp intake of breath then tried to just focus on my breathing as the pain that had dulled came back in full force.

Mia came around the corner, her jacket had splatters of blood on it. "Are you guys ok? There were a bunch of purifiers but they just scattered," she said her eyes found the blood from my wound that was trailing down my arm "Oh my god. What happened?"

"She got shot," Andy said. Mia didn't seem to have seen the guy disintegrate. "Where's Jack and why are you covered in blood?"

"My part of the plan went a little sideways. Jack is waiting with the car for us," she said. "Let's go. You need help."

Mia took us back to where the car is and we got in and started to head back to the Underground. My arm hurt really bad, it was all I could do to keep breathing and stay conscious.

*Yeah, foreshadowing! Love foreshadowing. Have fun trying to figure out for what though. ;)*
