Once the beam had hit the girls, they had ceased existing in our world. Or, to be more accurate, their minds had.
The two girls awoke in a street, and they most definitely weren't wearing their uniforms.
"Z, where are we? Where are the guys? How did we get here?" Syd whined.
Z shrugged, knowing her roomie wasn't expecting an answer, just hoping against hope Z would happen to have one.
A bright light appeared besides the two girls, and they dropped into their fighting stances immediately.
The light faded, and two children appeared in its place.
Z gasped. " Tomas? Jaci?"
The Latin boy and girl nodded.
Syd looked at the two curiously. Tomas had dark brown hair, and couldn't be over fourteen years old. His eyes were brown and soulful, and he wore ripped jeans, a tattered black shirt, and a baseball cap with a single music note on it. His trainers were black, although it was hard to tell through all the mud that covered them.
Jaci had light freckles dusting her cheeks and nose, and her black hair was in a low ponytail. Her eyes were a deep brown, and mischief sparkled in them. She wore a white t-shirt, with a purple tank top on top, and mud splattered jeans. Her trainers were white, with purple laces, which were just as mud caked as Tomas's.
Syd glanced down at herself quickly and saw she was wearing a pink dress over a pair of jeans, and pink trainers, while Z was wearing the same things that she had been in the first time Syd had seen her.
"Z, do you know these two?" Syd asked.
Z nodded speechlessly, as Jaci gave a small laugh.
"She should. I'm her daughter, and this is her nephew." Jaci said, her voice betraying her happiness that her mother was here.
Syd could have sworn her jaw hit the ground.
As she turned to her friend, Z nodded speechlessly, then she fainted.
"Perhaps we should take this somewhere else." Tomas suggested.
Syd nodded, and bent down to pick up her comrade when she suddenly realised Z was floating in mid air.
"Did we forget to mention we have powers too?" Jaci grinned, seemingly un-disturbed by everything the world was throwing at her.
Syd shrugged, desperately trying to hide the fact she wanted to start screaming, and not stop until she passed out.
"I thought Sam was the only other descendant of the scientists." She said, monotonously.
"He was the only one Cruger and Kat knew about." Jaci smiled.
Syd decided to just shut up and follow the two kids. Maybe they could explain what the hack was going on.
