Chapter 24: Animal I Have Become

Samantha Reese bit her bottom lip as Logan looked into his sister's eyes. Her eyes had so much fear, so much sorrow in them; she couldn't bear to have Logan hate her after this because it would push her over the edge. Logan sensed his sister's fear and took Samantha's hands in his. He spoke in a soft voice. It would be hard but he had to know.

LOGAN: Just tell me, Samantha. I won't hate you for it. I know it's been hard since—Mom died, but just tell me, we'll help each other out. I may be a jerk to girls, but you're family so I'm being real right now. This is the real Logan Reese standing in front of you. Please Samantha…

Samantha simply nodded yes and Logan smiled a small smile. Samantha took a deep breath and spoke. Logan was being genuine and this fact gave her the motive to be open.

SAMANTHA: After Mom died and I was sent to a co-ed boarding in Jersey. I hated it there. I missed home. I missed you. I wanted to be home so bad, so I was a bitch, and it stuck. I was snapping at everyone, and gave my teachers attitude. I even slashed some of the teacher's tires.

LOGAN: Are you serious? When girls came to PCA, all we did was pull a couple pranks. All of which orchestrated by me, of course, but slashing tires…wow, I'm impressed.

SAMANTHA: Thanks…I think. Anyway, when I was busy with reign of terror at boarding school, I met the sweetest guy ever. His name was Tommy Greene. He seemed like a good guy, Logan. In the beginning, it was like I was Cinderella, and he was my Prince Charming. He had hazel eyes, and the cutest hair. We were even going to be voted cutest couple. Then he changed. He became a control freak. He always assumed I was another guy.

LOGAN: Well, I don't blame him for being paranoid. You're attractive. All Reeses are.

This statement did make her laugh a little. Logan hated seeing Sammie so sad. Obviously he was doing his job because his sister smiled a little.

SAMANTHA: Thanks. I bet you're just saying that because you're my brother.

LOGAN: No, I'm not. Haven't guys crashed into stuff while looking at you?

SAMANTHA: Yeah.

LOGAN: So there. That's proves my point.

SAMANTHA: Yeah. I guess.

The tension crept back in, and the sadness reappeared in Samantha's eyes. After what Tommy did to her, she just felt so dirty. So weak. Logan scooted closer to his sister, in both curiosity and worry. Whatever Tommy did, it shattered Sammie forever.

LOGAN: What happened with your boyfriend?

Samantha looked at Logan and tears began to fall out of her eyes. It killed Logan to see his sister, crying. He already didn't like Tommy and the sudden desire to kill took over him. The bloodlust was evident in Logan's eyes. Samantha finally spoke, as more tears rolled out of her eyes. It was painful, but she had gone through worse.

SAMANTHA: He—he…

LOGAN: He what? What did he do to you?

SAMANTHA: He raped me! He raped me, Logan! He…raped…me.

Every muscle in his body became tense. Logan was heartbroken. What did she just say? Samantha was raped? Logan clenched his jaw. Tommy was going to die. Samantha broke down into full blown sobs, as she cried in Logan's arms. His heart was breaking. Besides, Dana and his Mom, his sister was all Logan had left. Screw Malcolm. He could take his movies and shove up his ass for all he cared, and Logan didn't even want to get started on his stepmother.

LOGAN (thought): Samantha was raped? Oh, Tommy Greene, you are going down. Nobody touches my sister and lives. Nobody. I'm sorry, Sammie. It's all Dad's fault. If he didn't send you to that crappy school, this wouldn't have happened. I hate him for that. I won't let anything happen to you. Never again. I promise.

Samantha and Logan pulled away, and Logan wiped her tears away. He knew there was more pain coming though. She ran her hand through his tan curls and smiled weakly at Logan. Logan hugged her, tightly.

LOGAN: I'm so sorry you had to go through that. You won't have to anymore. I promise you that. I swear, I'll kill him with my bare hands!

SAMANTHA: Wait, there's more. I told him I didn't want to sleep with him. I screamed, I fought hard. Believe me, I did. He only persisted with more force, and soon he was done with me. Afterwards, I felt so dirty, so violated. Like I was worthless. I was so broken—

Samantha fought back a sob, while Logan had to keep from breaking down himself. He listened attentively to his sister, trying to absorb everything.

SAMANTHA: This happened before my powers were unlocked. I still wasn't over Mom's murder and death. I still have nightmares of that night. Everything from the bed to the evil smirk he gave afterwards. Over and over. I get panic attacks thinking that one day he may come after me and finish the job this time. He threatened to kill me and anyone close to me, meaning you, if I told anyone anything. I know by telling you, I've put your life in danger, but I figured you had to know. I couldn't take being there anymore so I left without anyone knowing, and here I am.

LOGAN: So where have you been for the past three years?

SAMANTHA: You know our Malibu house?

LOGAN: Yeah. What about it?

SAMANTHA: That's where I've been living. We all have.

LOGAN: Wait. Who are we?

SAMANTHA: I was getting lonely, so I invited Courtney, Dylan, Bryan, Noah and Stacy to live with me. Yeah, every day's a party. I've found friends in them. They can actually tolerate my vanity. Dylan is my best friend, however. I can tell him anything. I was scared of guys after Tommy, but Dylan changed all of that. I can tell him anything, well…almost anything. He doesn't know about Tommy yet. They're good people. You won't believe how surprised I was when they told me they each had younger siblings around the same age as you. The surprises kept coming when they were in fact, Chase, Zoey, Dana, Nicole and Michael, and they all went to PCA. I used to smoke because of the rape topped with the death of our Mother. I would get drunk or high. Sometimes both. I just figured cigarettes and wine would be able to numb my pain. Well, the five of them helped me kick the habit and I've been clean for two years but even though I was clean it wasn't enough and I needed to see my pain visually melt away. I cut myself, Logan. Or at least used to.

LOGAN: I could never figure out why chicks did that.

SAMANTHA: Well, I can't speak for every girl but I know why I did it. The pain was just overwhelming. I needed some kind of release. So, that's why I did it.

LOGAN: Just something about the blood, and the pain made you…I don't know…calm on the inside, right?

SAMANTHA: Uh, yeah. How did you know that?

Logan sighed. Now it was his turn to be open, and talk. Everything was put on the table now.

LOGAN: Because, I've been down that road before. You know my nightmares…the ones I told you that went away.

SAMANTHA: Yeah.

LOGAN: I lied. They never left.

SAMANTHA: Seriously?

LOGAN: Yes, I still get them. 8 years later, and they still haunt me. It sucks. I won't be able to get that image out of my head. I act like a jerk because it's the only front I can put up. I'm not going to act all tough now, Sammie. I'm scared. I just miss her. I want her back. I—

Logan fell into Sammie's arms, and was wiping away at his eyes furiously. He didn't want to cry. Not now. Everything was a mess. Logan had tried to kill himself at least once, just so that he didn't have to deal with it anymore. Screw being rich. He wanted his Mommy. He wanted to kill Andy Davis so bad. He wanted to cause this guy a painful, slow death. It was only fair because he knew his Mom must've suffered before dying, the way she was stabbed. Logan had tears falling now. There was no point in acting now.

SAMANTHA: It's ok, Logan. It's ok to cry. Let it. Just let it out.

Logan couldn't take it anymore. He wanted to smash something. Break something, but he didn't want to break down. He wanted to hug his sister, and give Dana the biggest kiss ever. Just tell her he'd love her till the day he died. Samantha stroked his hair as muffled sobs subconsciously came out of Logan. Suppressed feelings came out of him, and it was too late to hold them back. Logan had more tears falling. Samantha only hugged him tighter. Logan hadn't cried this much since Natalie Russell smacked him for kissing her in the first grade. Well, he thought her pigtails were hot, and the age of six, that was Logan's turn-on. Logan pulled away and smiled. Samantha did likewise.

SAMANTHA (laughing): God, we're such babies.

LOGAN (laughing): I'll agree. For once.

Samantha faked being hurt and Logan smirked. Only out of good fun. They hadn't been that close and it felt great.

SAMANTHA: Hey! What's that suppose to mean?

LOGAN: I kid. I kid.

SAMANTHA: You'd better.

LOGAN (smiling): Come on. You know me. I'm your favourite brother.

SAMANTHA (laughing): You're my only brother.

LOGAN: True...you got me there. Seriously though, I'm here for you. If you're scared, just call me and well…I don't know…we'll talk or something. I usually don't do the talking, but still…I'll help you.

SAMANTHA: Ok, thanks, but Logan, I'm kinda scared. What if Tommy does come back?

LOGAN: You're welcome, and he won't come back all the way from New Jersey. He just won't. If he does, I'll be there to kick his ass. We're only 30 mins away. Right?

SAMANTHA: Yeah. Thanks, and if you're a bit freaked yourself. You know, you can call too, ok?

LOGAN: Yeah.

Samantha and Logan still felt kind of sad. Everybody knew when Logan was depressed. He splurged. Just because he hated his home life that didn't mean he couldn't enjoy the benefits of being rich. Samantha got a mischievous grin on her face and turned to Logan. Logan caught her with an evil glint in her eye.

LOGAN: Ok, what are you planning? And if it's good, I want in it.

SAMANTHA: You are in.

LOGAN: Ok. So what? I'm still not getting you.

SAMANTHA: How about you and I just splurge. Go crazy. We haven't done that in like forever. So you in?

Logan smirked and pulled out his wallet. A foot long roll of various credit cards came out.

LOGAN: Way ahead of you.

SAMANTHA: Not bad. I'm impressed. I keep a hidden stash. Watch.

Samantha pulled out her pink and red sparkly wallet. She opened it and a roll about 3 feet long rolled out. She dug through the pockets of her low rider jeans, and fished out about 20 cards. She opened the zipper of the same wallet and shook it. About another 15 cards came out, and formed a pile around her feet.

SAMANTHA: Yep. That's all of them.

LOGAN: Oh, wow. How much splurging are we talking here?

SAMANTHA (smirking): Logan, Logan, Logan. So young. So much to learn.

LOGAN: I'm 16. Three years difference. I'm not that young.

Samantha laughed. She missed getting Logan riled up. It was fun.

SAMANTHA: We're talking unlimited shopping, bro.

LOGAN: U-unlimited?

SAMANTHA: Oh yeah.

LOGAN: I'm in. And I'll probably get Dana something nice.

SAMANTHA: Awww. How cute!

LOGAN (rolling his eyes): Oh, please. I'm her boyfriend. I'm suppose to be sappy and romantic, and miraculously I'm feeling generous, so everyone will probably get something nice too, especially Nicole. Her's won't be too hard.

SAMANTHA: Ok, who are you and what have you done with my brother?

LOGAN (sarcastically): Funny Sammie. Really funny.

SAMANTHA: Ok, although I have an itching question…I won't ask.

LOGAN: Fine. Anyways, I'm going to fulfill my duty as the little brother and snoop around. Starting with the love life.

SAMANTHA: I'm working on it.

LOGAN (raising an eyebrow): "Working on it"?

SAMANTHA: Yes, you'll find out soon enough.

LOGAN: Okay, but I'll still snoop around.

Samantha laughed. It felt so much like home again. So many memories flooded them. They would have the stupidest conversations, but hey, it worked in their favour. Superpowers or no, there were a brother and sister team, and could they buy out designer stores. Samantha knew every designer from Dolce & Gabana to Versace. She put all her credit cards away, and turned to Logan.

SAMANTHA: Wanna head back now?

LOGAN: Yeah, sure. I'm kinda bored since we're not fighting bad guys for now.

SAMANTHA: You never know.

Logan shrugged and Samantha walked back with them. She didn't know how right she was…

Soon Logan and Samantha were reunited with their friends. The seating was in the following order: Chase, Zoey, Courtney, Bryan, Logan, Dana, Dylan and Samantha. Chase had an arm draped Zoey, who rested her head on Chase's shoulder. Courtney and Bryan were happy as clams and Bryan and Courtney had intertwined fingers, Dana and Logan were holding hands as well, after kissing. The heart-shaped mark still resided on Logan's arm, and the burning sensation was just a dull pain tingle now. Samantha and Dylan had their hands topped on top of each other's. They smiled at each other, but they were small ones. Thank God, no one saw.

DANA: So Zo, you said you and Chase and a surprise.

ZOEY: Yeah, you do.

CHASE: You wanna tell them, or should I?

ZOEY: NO, that's ok. You could tell them.

COURTNEY: Well, spit it out. I'll die from the suspense.

ZOEY: Chase and I got new powers while we were—you know…

LOGAN: Seriously?

CHASE: Yeah, dude. It's awesome. I can smell things I couldn't before. Like for example, Dana smells like…chocolate and a mix of peaches. Samantha smells like strawberries, Zoey smells like really good apples. Courtney…you smell like vanilla and pears.

Everyone was surprised. Chase was exactly right.

CHASE: I may not feel the effects of them now, but I'll feel them later. Basically I can transform into different animals.

COURTNEY: Cool. It's about time.

CHASE: Huh?

COURTNEY: I can do that too, Chase.

SAMANTHA: It's true, Last night, she slept upside down.

LOGAN: How did you manage to pull that off, Courtney?

COURTNEY: I slept as a bat.

CHASE (laughing): Oh… I get it! I can be any animal I want.

LOGAN: One problem…our DA.

CHASE: Is that all?

ZOEY: Well, he does a point.

CHASE: Logan, you're the king of blackmail, being underhanded, and messing with people's heads.

LOGAN (smirking): I am, aren't I?

ZOEY (whispering to Chase): Great, you've just inflated his ego.

CHASE (whispering to Zoey): I didn't think it could get any bigger. I was wrong.

Zoey and Chase laughed. When asking why, they told them it was an inside joke. Zoey spoke again. She was excited to tell the rest about her ice powers.

ZOEY: Well, my surprise is just as cool. Literally.

DYLAN: Oh, I get it.

SAMANTHA (confused): Umm, I don't.

BRYAN: Mind filling us in, dude? I'm get kinda bored since we're not fighting for now.

LOGAN: You and me, both.

ZOEY: I can shoot ice out of my hands and freeze things. Ice is like hard water, so yeah. Dyl, you knew?

DYLAN: Yeah, because I can freeze time. That's how I helped Samantha with her shopping.

Chase and Courtney gave him weird looks and Zoey couldn't help but giggle. Logan, Dana, and Bryan all had raised eyebrows. The remaining group of teens all had their eyes plastered on Samantha, who was calmly filing her nails. As I said before, like Logan, Samantha can't live without mirrors. Samantha, sensing she was being stared at, looking up. She had a confused look on her face.

SAMANTHA: What?

ZOEY (laughing): You took Dylan shopping?

SAMANTHA: Yeah. Not my fault, I'm naturally persuasive. You can't tell me you didn't like that shopping spree we went on last week.

DYLAN: I'm not denying that I liked it. I got pretty nice shoes. Blue and black ones.

CHASE: Ok, how did you freeze time to help?

LOGAN: Yeah?

DYLAN: Let's just say…Sammie's a bit crazy when shopping…

SAMANTHA: Hey! That's not true.

DYLAN (smiling): You punched another shopper out because she got the last handbag.

LOGAN: Ok, I believe you. One time you pulled another girl's hair because you wanted the last Barbie.

SAMANTHA: You can't prove that.

DYLAN: The poor girl got a black eye. You knocked two of her teeth out.

SAMANTHA: That handbag wouldn't look good on her anyway. She doesn't have the body for it, and besides, I found the cutest outfit to wear with it. You know you all love me. Don't deny it.

They were laughs all around, until Chase and Dana noticed a sight. They had to do a double take to make sure they weren't crazy. They noticed Bryan's arm slipped around Courtney's waist. Chase and Dana winked. This made the rest confused, but when they finally saw, they got why.

COURTNEY: We've got something good too.

BRYAN: You wanna tell them, now?

COURTNEY: Yeah.

BRYAN: Oh. What the hell! Why not?

COURTNEY: Ok, glad you agree, sweetie.

BRYAN: Only she gets to call me that. Understand?

CHASE: Yeah.

ZOEY: Sure, knock yourselves out.

LOGAN: Fine.

DANA: Whatever. Why would I call my own brother that anyway?

DYLAN: Cool.

SAMANTHA: Hmm? Oh…yeah…fine.

COURTNEY: Bryan and I are dating!

BRYAN (smirking): It's true, but just because I'm happy, that doesn't' mean I can't mess you guys up.

CHASE: Well, I think I speak for everyone when I say 'Congrats!'

SAMANHTA: I mean this in the nicest way possible, but it's about time.

LOGAN: Can we stop with the mushy stuff?

DANA: Come here. I have to get something from you first.

LOGAN (smirking): Will I like it?

DANA: Maybe…maybe not…

LOGAN: What—

Logan was cut off by Dana's lips on his and his eyes widened before fluttering closed. It was usually Logan who was the dominant one in these situations. Her hand rested on his cheek, while his hands ran her luscious brown/streaked curls. Dan could tell he was smiling in the kiss. Soon Logan begged for entrance and they were frenching each other. Dana kissed him with all the passion she could, and Logan did likewise.

LOGAN (thought): Mmm, Dana…She tastes like chocolate. Logan likey… He shoots! He scores!

They pulled away, and just cuddled. Chase and Zoey were quite surprised by the random act. Samantha dropped her nail file and Dylan nervously rubbed his neck. Courtney and Bryan had looks that said 'you guys look hot together, but get a room'. Logan and Dana stared back, and decided it was in their best interest to defend themselves. Besides, it's not like they've ever sucked face before.

DANA: Oh…come of it…

LOGAN: It's not you've ever sucked face before. Right Chase?

DANA: Yeah, Zoey.

ZOEY: Honestly, how do we get ourselves in these situations?

CHASE: How come we have to be put on the spot like that?

Dana and Logan smirked.

LOGAN: Chase. So naïve. It's actually pretty simple.

DANA: It's called being an easy target.

They all laughed, and stood up. They were in a circle in the middle of the room. Right now, all they wanted to do was get out of here. The only person that knew how to get out of here was Dana.

CHASE: So, what do we do?

COURTNEY: Yeah, I mean this is your mind, right Dana?

DANA: Yeah. I think there's a white light here. We have to concentrate and you know, will our self to get out of here. We're gonna have to leave the way we came in. It'll hurt but yeah.

SAMANTHA (sarcastically): Great. More pain. Fun.

DANA: You got a better idea?

SAMANTHA: Maybe one that won't hurt.

COURTNEY: Dana's right, Sammie. We've gotta leave the way we came in.

DYLAN: Ok, let's do it, then.

LOGAN: If I can date Dana, then I can take pain. It's a compliment.

DANA: Thanks, I think.

CHASE: Wait, someone's here, and I don't like it.

LOGAN: Stop being so paranoid.

CHASE: I'm not! Court, do you feel that?

COURTNEY: Yeah. It's your animal instinct acting up. We can feel things others can't.

CHASE: Oh.

As Chase and Courtney said, someone was there because a voice made it certain. Everyone whipped around. Chase and Courtney both growled, seeing who it was. Zoey and Dylan were ready to fight if they had to, Logan and Samantha glared hard, and Dan and Bryan and Dana narrowed their eyes in disgust. It was Glenn…again, but this time he was in flesh.

CHASE: You!

GLENN: Surprise! Miss me?

DANA: Get outta my head! NOW!

GLENN: Now, now, manners Dana.

BRYAN: Fuck off.

Dana stared to go for Glenn and was pulled back by Logan. Soon someone would have to hold him back. His patience was running low, but then again, he never really had patience in the first place. Before anyone could blink, Samantha had lunged for Glenn and took him to the ground. Fuck the manicure. Fuck everything. This was a matter of honour. Samantha was going to get revenge and nothing would stop her. Samantha was pretty strong for a girl. She had her hand wrapped around Glenn's throat, and she stared. Her voice was dangerously low, and everyone was scared. Except one person. Logan. Her eyes flashed blood red, as she squeezed tighter.

SAMANTHA: Tell me the truth, damnit! Your cousin killed my mother 8 years ago. Tell me where he is, or I swear on her grave…I will kill you.

Samantha was pulled off Glenn be a force. That force was Dylan Brooks, and she seemed relaxed in his arms, but she still glared. Logan did so as he held Dana, protectively. Chase, however, was about to be a loose cannon. He hated this guy when every fibre of his being. The ground shook a little as he got madder, and his growls became more audible. Artemis said anger would trigger his transformations. Right now, he wasn't thinking straight. An evil voice crept into his head, taking him over:

Come on. You know you want to kill him. Go for it. Do what you must do. Show no mercy. You want blood…Do it for Zoey.

Chase listened to the voice, and Courtney was surprised when she saw her brother punch the other smirking teen in the jaw. Glenn recoiled, and only laughed.

GLENN: That's it? That's all you've got. I was expecting more of a challenge there.

CHASE: As Samantha said, you will die. Painfully and slowly.

I can't escape this hell
So many times I've tried
But I'm still caged inside

Chase felt his canines grow slightly longer, and instead of nails, he had black gleaming claws. He was slowly changing, as his friends looked on. The only people strangely calm were Zoey and Courtney. Dana, Bryan, Dylan, Samantha and Logan kept angry eyes on Glenn and a fuming Chase. Logan, Zoey and Dana were ready join in and fight in case Chase was in trouble. Glenn took the first swing, and because of Chase's amplified sense of hearing, Chase ducked and kicked Glenn in the gut. Hard. The impact made him stagger back a few inches. Glenn coughed up blood as well.

Somebody get me through this nightmare
I can't control myself

Chase received a couple blows himself, but he was graceful in landing, but both boys were bruised and bloody. Chase shot green bolts out of his hands and they caused Glenn to cut his arm. Blood gushed out, and he held his arm in pain. The blood trickled out between his fingers. For the final finale, Chase clawed him twice. One across the abdomen, and another on the face. There were four parallel marks there.

So what if you can see the darkest side of me?
No one would ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal
(This animal, this animal)

Chase and Glenn were breathing heavily, and were bloody and bruised. Glenn seemed weakened enough but he was going to have what was promised to him. Zoey. Hell, he might even kill Chase and his crew in the process but right now, he was too strong for him. Glenn wouldn't forfeit that easily though. He wasn't an idiot. Chase was breathing heavily, as his claws dripped with crimson blood. Chase was strangely smirking though.

CHASE (smirking): Had enough yet?

GLENN: I'm just getting started.

CHASE: Fine. I'll be happy to kill you then. Besides writing, being with my girlfriend and my friends, which you have none of; it's what I like to do best.

As Chase and Glenn were about to charge at each other again, four familiar voices were heard. Two females and two males…

I can't escape myself
(I can't escape myself)
So many times I've lied
(So many times I've lied)
But there's still rage inside
Somebody get me through this nightmare
I can't control myself

The sound of thunder and lightning was heard, and a strong breeze pulled in. Relief washed over everyone as Michael, Nicole, Noah and Stacy appeared. Michael was floating on the back of a black and gold tiger, while Stacy floated beside him on a black storm cloud. Noah was flapping his wings and flew beside Nicole as she flew on the back on an all-white eagle, except for a black diamond on his left wing. Nicole and Noah were mad as heck as were Stacy and Michael. They too were glaring. Chase grew happier so his claws shrank away, and his canines returned to normal size. He was just happy to have his friends with him.

So what if you can see the darkest side of me?
No one would ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal

Somebody help me through this nightmare
I can't control myself
Somebody wake me from this nightmare
I can't escape this animal

MICHAEL: Touch them, and you deal with us.

STACY: Imma mess you up so bad, your whole family will feel it!

NOAH: You're a dead man. Seriously. No one call Nikki a bitch.

NICOLE: You're ass is sooo mine!

Michael and Nicole turned their siblings. They were so grateful for finding everyone. It seems like they arrived in the nick of time. Michael had a plan. Something to scare Glenn off, just so that they could tell left alone.

NICOLE: Thanks, Noah. Thanks Stacy.

MICHAEL: Yeah, thanks. We'll handle it from here.

STACY: It's cool.

NOAH: Sure. Ok.

Noah and Stacy were reunited with their friends. Chase, Michael, Dana, Nicole, Logan and Zoey were reunited with each other as well. Courtney made vines come out of the ground and they wrapped tightly around Glenn. No amount of power could break him out of it. Nicole and Michael hopped off their guardians and the six friends formed a group huddle. It reminded them of a basketball game when they were practicing which play to do next.

(This animal, this animal, this animal, this animal, this animal, this animal, this animal)

So what if you can see the darkest side of me?
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal
(This animal I have become)

MICHAEL: I got a plan…so listen up. We can buy some time some this.

LOGAN: Well, spit it out!

MICHAEL (sarcastically): Logan, good to see you too.

ZOEY: Anyway, you were saying, Michael?

DANA: It better be good. I just want to kick some ass. As long as I get to that, I'm good.

MICHAEL: Trust me, Dana. This is your thing.

CHASE: Anyway, what did we do? What's the plan, Mike?

A/N: Another cliffy! I'm in a bad mood now. My teachers are being jerks at school, so blame them for the cliffhanger! On a good note, you learned a bit about Samantha's turbulent past, and Logan really does love his sister. What is Michael's plan? Stay tuned. The song used for this chapter was "Animal I Have Become" by Three Days Grace. I think it describes Chase's mood at the moment. You know, him fighting with Glenn, and his new ability. Yeah, I'm rambling… so in the meantime…

REVIEW!
