As Zack slowly crept towards the room were the noise was coming from he put his hands in front of him, ready to shock. Who ever it was obviously recovering from getting in since the doors and windows were heavily boarded. The person was carrying something but Zack was too far away to see what it was. 'It looks like a gun.' Thought Zack 'But why is it in a bag and not in his hands?'
When he got to the doorframe of the room Zack took of his gloves. He shot out ten bolts of electricity towards the perpetrator. After he was hit, the intruder fell to the ground with a thump. The girls ran down the stairs to see if Zack was ok. "Are you ok?" asked Hope
"What happened?" Questioned Ivy.
"Who is it Zack?" worried Evelyn
Zack was getting annoyed. "Just calm down everyone. Any sign of Tom?"
"Zack! What did you do to Tom?!" Ivy yelled, bending over the limp body.
"What? I didn't... Tom?"
"Huh... What happened? Who called my name?" Said Tom weakly. "Zack why did you shoot me?"
"I didn't mean to Tom. I didn't know who you were. I'm Sorry." Apologized Zack offering a now gloved hand to Tom. "But what are you doing with... bread?"
"Oh." Tom laughed quietly. "I was going to surprise everyone with some fresh bread. But I guess you all wanted to wake up early today."
"Sorry." Was the reply of the rest of the group.
"Well now that that's settled who's up for some fresh bread?" Asked Zack as he took the bag of several different breads. They all headed up the stairs to the Kitchen. ---TTS---
"Tom how did you get the bread? You know we can't be seen." Asked Evelyn. She gasped as she released what happened. "You didn't freeze time or did you?"
"Yea I did. " replied Tom. "Now I'm going to be dead all day. I meant I'm going to be real tired."
"You didn't have to do that for us. Ivy could have made wheat in a snap." Said Hope since she overheard the conversation.
"Well it was very nice for Tom to go out of his way for us." Said Ivy. "Hey what's wrong with the heater?" She pointed a vine to the smoke rising from the heater that seamed to be getting bigger. Suddenly it burst into flame. "Evelyn put some water on it!" Yelled Zack.
"Way ahead of you!" replied Evelyn as she closed her eyes and 'rain' poured down on the fire. However rather than the fire diminishing it sparked up. It engulfed the heater and sparked a flame on the nearby wall. The blaze crept up the wall as everyone frantically tried to stop it from burning their "house" down.
---TTS---
They tried to kill the fire for five minutes and they all knew that this was the end of their only shelter. "Ok, now here's the drill." Zack said quickly. "Get all of the food you can and your blanket. As soon as you do meet downstairs."
Everyone started doing as Zack instructed until they heard sirens. "Oh, no!" whispered Evelyn as the blaring became louder. Ivy, Hope, Evelyn, Tom and Zack rushed to the basement to the secret door. They waited to see if the firefighters would be coming in. Hope heard a soft crack and thought it was them.
"Hey lets go." She said. They all moved slightly to the door. That probably saved their lives. Suddenly a deaf defining crack was heard right above them and the whole main level came crashing down. Zack followed by Tom enclosed the girls making sure they stay safe. Zack was careful not to touch anyone since one of his gloves fell of with the crash. There was silence for a minute or so until Tom asked, "Is everyone ok?" Everyone responded yes except Ivy.
"I pulled out my vines to hold the falling ceiling and now my right arm is stuck. "
Evelyn looked over, it was pinned in tightly and it was... bleeding. "We got to get her out of here. We all got to get out of here."
---TTS--- Hope tried to lift the rubble on top of them but no avail. Then they heard voices. 'It must be the firefighters! They have come to save us!' thought Zack. 'But wait no one would help us.' He heaved a loud sigh.
"Is someone there?" Boomed a voice. "Don't move, we are here to help you." A light flashed in front of the group's eyes. "Say something so we know where you are!"
"H... He... Hello?" Evelyn said weakly, nervous about what will happen soon. Immediately they heard footsteps heading towards them. The rubble above and around them started to shake and eventually they could see some light. "Its OK Chief. We got them. Holy Sh...!!!!" They saw Evelyn. The team of firefighters started to run when they hit a large piece of metal. One whole wall started to collapse on the team but Hope levitated the wall and it fell the other direction. Brogan group all stood up and Zack helped Ivy get her arm out and rapped it with his coat. The firefighters stood there silent as they passed.
---TTS---
Everyone in Brogans' minds were racing as they wordlessly walked down a strangely empty F Street. There was not much left to do actually only one thing. Run away. To another state or another country if necessary. Zack looked at Evelyn. She was heart broken. She knew that she was leaving DC, but her brother was still out there... somewhere. "Evelyn, we will find your brother." Zack said reassuringly. Evelyn looked at him like he just read her mind. She smiled meekly. As they continued walking, their thoughts were now about where they were going to live and things related. But they had no idea what will lie ahead.
The Lieutenant of the team of firefighters watched Brogan until they were out of site. He took out his cell phone and dialed a phone number. "Is this the Mutant Control Agency? Yes there is a group of five mutants walking around near F Street. Yes. Well one of them has fish characteristics. And another has spiky hair. No. I understand. Yes and thank you." "What was that all about?" Asked a firefighter as the Lieutenant put away his phone. The lieutenant replied smugly. "Five more freaks will soon find their life a little more difficult."
