-author's note: sorry but the next couple of chapters won't have a lot of
action. Not to say their not important but it's mostly explaination. A
few scenes may appear humorous-
Logan brought Aya to his apartment. They didn't talk much the whole time. Aya had cried herself to sleep in Logan's arms while on his sofa.
She woke up in Logan's bed. She rolled over to see his alarm clock reading 9:43. "Shit, I'm late," she said to herself.
Logan was cooking in the kitchen. "morning, I was about to wake you up."
"That would have been nice about four hours ago."
"Settle down. Rupert knows your not coming in. We just need to go talk to him at three."
"Whattya mean we?"
"I guess he needs as much info as possible."
"That means Jerome will be there," she moaned.
"Do you not like him?"
"He's a lunatic. He scares the hell outta me."
"He'd love to hear that," Logan chuckled. He noticed Aya's expression. "On the plus side Jodie has made a full recovery."
Aya thought about the night before, about Eve. She stormed out of the room with tears down her cheeks.
"What I say?" Logan called after her. "Damn!" He set his hand on a hot burner.
She saw Logan had got her an outfit and decided to take a shower. All she wanted to do was lie in bed all day but Logan got her when it was time to go.
After a short feud with the security guard(Logan wore shorts revealing the saber he was carrying) they entered Rupert's office. To Aya's relief Jerome was not there.
After greeting them Rupert stated "I personally asked Jerome to be here but it doesn't look like he's coming. This could work out since I had Pierce print out his file." Rupert reached into his desk and pulled out a file that was roughly three inches thick. Aya stared in amazement.
"That's not a lot is it?" Logan asked.
"Well, this is your file," Rupert said as he pulled out a file with about a dozen papers in it. Logan cracked up.
"What is all that?" Aya asked.
"It's mostly permits to own and use many different firearms. The guy registered a flamethrower, grenade launcher, machine guns, and about a hundred others," Rupert answered. Logan was yet to stop snickering. "I've marked most of the interesting stuff in here. He passed basic training in the army and is a certified field mechanic. He failed miserably in training to defuse bombs, and he apparently knows how to drive a tank."
"He has knowledge of bombs?" Aya interrupted. Logan laughed outloud. Aya slapped him on the shoulder. "It's not funny."
"Hey Aya, Jerome used to live in Manhattan until February of '98."
"So, lots of people left after New Years."
"Well, he might of left because they stuck him in a looney bin for claiming to have magical powers. Kuniko Maeda was the man who signed him out."
Aya went into deep thought as Logan was laughing histerically. "He has mitochondria powers, like Logan," Aya said.
"What! Logan has powers. When were you gonna tell me. Now Jerome has them." Rupert was pissed because of the lack of information.
"Don't worry, I don't have powers. I don't even know how she thinks Jerome has these powers that don't exist."
"You do have powers and Jerome has them or he would have combusted."
"She's got a point Logan."
"She also said Jerome was blown up after he was set on fire by No.9 when the flame reached his ammo."
"You do have powers Logan," Aya protested.
"No he doesn't and neither do I," Jerome said as he entered.
"Then how do you explain that gash on your leg," Aya questioned. "That was deep enough for you to bleed to death in twenty minutes. On the next time I saw you, you didn't even limp."
"We'll if you do have powers it will be a great advantage on Aya's next assignment," Rupert said as he casually slipped the file back into his desk.
"What's my assignment?" Aya asked.
"Well, an unregistered helicopter was tracked by satellite until it landed in North Dakota. It landed in a small village until the satellite was jammed. The FBI tried to send men in but all ignited when they got to close. There is a barrier protecting the village."
"Quit talking this jibba-jabba about people being forced to combust," Logan demanded. Aya glared at him.
"This is all great but I need to go," Jerome said as he left the door.
"I don't see why you don't like that guy," Logan joked.
"Are we basically up against what we were last year?"
"I'm afraid this is more complicated," Rupert answered.
"Then I need to teach Logan how to use his powers." They were out the door before Rupert could stop them.
"Alrighty then, this will be very entertaining since it is starring the lovely Aya Brea," Pierce said over the intercom. Aya ignored him and Logan flipped him off.
"Logan, you will need to concentrate your energy." Aya faced her hand towards the wall. A fireball suddenly launched out of her hand and hit the wall.
"Shit!" Logan screamed while starring at the smoking wall. Pierce was laughing over the intercom. Logan flipped him off again.
"Try it."
Logan faced the wall. He concentrated as hard as he could. His hand ignited into fire. "Shit!" He ran around the room flailing his arm which seemed only to make the flame larger until he ran into the wall and collapsed. The fire went out. His arm was perfectly fine.
"Believe me now?" Aya asked. Logan nodded. We're gonna need some help from Jerome. Let's go find Maeda." She left the range.
"Wait, who the hell is Maeda?" Logan called after her.
