Part Eight

I woke up covered in a soft blanket. I looked around.

"Whoa, just relax." Matt said as he saw me sitting up. He walked over with a glass of water. Ella wasn't far behind him.

"Dam, girl, you scared me shitless." Ella said handing me a glass of water.

I took it and started to drink away. When the glass was empty I sighed. I finally looked around, it was dark outside, and there was a fire build in the fireplace. The rest of the house looked like a cabin that came out of an old magazine advertising a skiing trip, it was very large and very comfortable.

"This is your house?" I asked Matt.

He smiled warmly, "Yep, I live up on Hill Top in the trees away from all the other houses."

"I have to get home to feed Cammo. What time is it anyway?" I attempted to sit up but I had trouble. Matt helped me sit up. God, I hated it when I felt vulnerable.

"It's just after midnight. Common." He picked me up, one arm supporting my head the other supporting my knees. The blanket slid off my body.

"I can walk on my own." I said with a smile.

"Oh can you?" he smiled back.

"Yes, I can."

We were already out side and were on the stairs. "Okay you may walk." He set me down and immediately I collapsed against the railing.

With a small thud I sat down on my butt. I crossed my arms. "Okay maybe I can't right now but, what are you doing just standing around? Pick me up!" he smiled and got me up again.

Ella opened the car door for him and he got me seated in the passenger's seat of his green SUV-which was probably stolen. He slammed the door shut. I buckled up.

With two slammed doors Ella and Matt were in and ready to cruise. "Where's our rides?" I asked Matt.

Matt replied with a motion to the back. I looked back there. And there they were, they didn't have a lot of room but the seat was moved forward so that they had way more space than they had before hand.

I unrolled the window once we were moving. Even though it was late at night I always had to be in the open air; it always helped me think clearly.

Matt turned on the radio, a song that was on I had heard a million times called 'Drops of Jupiter' by Train.

"Now that she's back in the atmosphere with drops of Jupiter in her hair.

She acts like summer and walks like rain reminds me that there's a time to change.

Since the return from her stay on the moon; she listens like spring and she talks like June." The song sang out with me singing along very quietly.

After the song ended I found my self around 27th Street. The song changed, one that used to be big back before the pulse by N'Sync called 'Pop'. I started to dance in my seat while Matt and Ella looked at me like I was having a mental break down.

"What?" I asked looking at the both of them.

"Nothing." The both said at the same time.

I rolled my eyes and continued to dance. Wen the song ended I was very disappointed at what came on next; it was one called something like 'Be my Mate' or something by Right Said Fred Ella and I looked at each other and we both started to sing in deepened voices.

"I'm too sexy for my shirt; too sexy for my shirt; too sexy yeah it hurts."

Everyone busted up laughing. When we pulled up to my house my "airplane song" was on. My "airplane song" was also known as 'I am Like a Bird' by Nelly Fertado. Matt popped the trunk and got our bikes out. Ella drove off wearing her helmet.

Matt helped me out of the car and when I looked over into a bush I saw Camouflage looking out to see who was with me. When she saw it was Matt she rushed out and as he was carrying me she and he walked side by side.

When we got to my front door I handed him the keys and he opened it walked over to the couch and set me there. Camouflage went over to the kitchen and started to scratch on the refrigerator. Matt had gone out to get my Ninja. I tried to stand up; I helped myself by holding onto the wall for support. I had succeeded. Stumbling on my own two feet I walked over to the refrigerator opened it up and got a bowl of milk out for Camouflage.

Matt walked in and found me petting Camouflage. "You need anything else before I leave? Your bikes all locked up; covered up and everything."

"Thank you for helping me out today, and no, you're free to go."

"No problem, see you later."

"Bye."

Then just like that he was gone. I looked at my clock. It was only twelve fifteen. I went over to the cupboard and grabbed two packages of Top Ramen (Cajun Chicken). I grabbed a clean pot and began to boil some water; I set the timer for five minutes. I jumped onto the counter and sat down on it.

KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!

Now what? I groaned and jumped off the counter. I stumbled over to the front door and opened it.

"Can I come in?" Ella asked.

"Sure."

She walked in and sat down, but before she could say anything I said something first, "I'm okay and no I don't want any help."

She smiled "how'd you know that's what I was going to ask?"

"I've gotten quite a few 'are you Okays' lately."

A newspaper suddenly slapped down onto my desk. I looked up.

"Sir I think you should read this." An informative officer said.

I looked back down at the newspaper. 'Girl that can jump ten feet into the air.' Right under the headlines was a picture of a beautiful girl in mid jump; she was aiming for a branch about ten feet up. I read on:

"Yesterday, a local man that was on his way back from photographing fishing pictures had seen a girl running faster than a speeding bullet he thought that, that picture would deserve first prize place in a contest for odd pictures. What he didn't know was that this girl could not only run supper fast but could jump super high.

"I was coming up from the river and saw her start running and she soon got to be so fast I had to take a picture to see how it would turn out, it turns out that I got her in mid jump." Quotes the photographer, "There was two men with her, they had weird tattoos on the back of their necks..."

I stopped reading, down in the corner of the article there were two close ups of two barcodes. I quickly identified them as X5-559 and X5-427. I took in a deep breath.

"Sir, do we go get them?" the officer said.

"Yes, I want them all alive. You have my permission to use Tazers. You will get them, that is a direct order. Do you understand me?"

"Yes, sir."

"You are dismissed."

The officer saluted me then left. I had to get them back. When Geneva ran away the head bosses had almost shut Manticore, but I had bagged them for an extension in experiments. We had just started with the training of the X6s and we were creating the X7 series.

Thank you, lil-DA and Alexandria Bruderlin, I hope you like this last post and as soon as I see some reviews I'll post more. The next post has to do with Ella, Matt, and Geneva running away to a little town called Anacortes. Kind of kewl. So anyways you have like twenty more posts to worry about before I have to write more so I'm just coasting my way through the fic.

Anywho the main thing of this little authors note is post more and I think I just remembered that I haven't given you guys a disclaimer. Don't own DA. I created the characters Matt, Ella, and Geneva, and later on Conan is mine too. It all belongs to James Cameron and Charles Eglee. Oh and uh the "powers" Matt and Geneva have is also property of C/E.same goes with the state of Seattle and the Pulse. Got it? Good.
