"'Mara, watch out!" Sue called to her friend and sister in law. Amara jumped out of the way, narrowly avoiding a blast of ice.
"What the-?" She said as another beam headed for her. She dodged it and looked for the source of it. "Over there Sue." She telepathically said. Sue followed Amara's gaze and nodded. She grabbed Amara's hand and turned invisible. They snuck towards the attacker. As far as they could tell he was the same age as Amara and had a heavy build. When they stood behind him Sue let go of Amara's hand and started to walk to face his front. Amara, who was now visible, coughed to get his attention. He spun around and blinked.
"Yeah, hi, do you want to tell me why you did that?" Amara asked calmly. The attacker smirked and pointed at her.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you," Sue said from behind him. He blanched and backed against a wall.
"Now, as I already asked, why did you ruin our shopping trip?" Amara asked again.
"Because," He started. "You need to die." As he finished speaking he pointed both his hands at the girls and shot ice at them. Sue quickly formed a shield in front of her and Amara dodged out of the way, but the ice followed her. She kept moving, trying to lose it, but it hit her square in the shoulder.
"Ahh," she cried and fell to the floor.
"Amara!" Sue shouted and rushed to her side. While Sue was busy checking Amara was ok the attacker fled.
"Sue, he's getting away. Go after him." Amara ordered. "I'll call Johnny ok?" Sue nodded and started running, she became invisible just before she ran out of sight. Amara gingerly touched her shoulder where the ice beam hit her. She was bleeding, as she expected, but around the wound she was numb and her skin was blue. She cursed and used her other arm to get her mobile out.
"Come on Johnny, pick up," she begged as the dial tone played. "Come on."
"Hello?" Johnny's voice said happily.
"Johnny, I need help," Amara said quickly.
"Why, what's wrong?" he asked quickly.
"We were shopping and then we got attacked. I got him, I can't move my arm. Sue's gone after him."
"Ok, where are you?" Johnny asked. Amara told him her location and he promised to be there as soon as he could.
"Thanks," She said as she hung up. She stood up and tried to move her hand. She couldn't move it all. She then tried to bend her elbow, again she couldn't. "This can't be good." She muttered. She looked at her watch and decided to call Reed. Unlike Johnny, Reed picked up straight away.
"Hello, Reed Richards speaking,"
"Reed, you sound stupid when you say that." Amara said.
"Thank you," he replied sarcastically.
"That's ok; anyway can you pick Matthew up for me? I've, um, got delayed." She lied. She didn't want to answer loads of questions, just yet.
"Yes, of course. When will you be home?"
"I don't know at the moment. I gotta go thanks again." She said as she hung up. She leaned against the nearest wall and closed her eyes. For a few seconds she felt peaceful and then suddenly a wave of pure fear surged through her. Her eyes snapped open and looked around. She couldn't see anything that would cause her to be terrified. Just in case though she walked down the deserted street she was in. She saw a figure approaching but instantly knew it was Johnny. He saw her and ran up to her.
"Amara, are you ok?" he asked her. His eyes searched for signs of injuries. They found her shoulder. "That looks nasty."
"It feels nasty too. Yeah I'm ok, but I lost quite a bit of blood back there." She stated. Johnny looked at her face again and noticed she looked paler than usual. He nodded and picked her up. "What are you doing?" she asked.
"Flying you back to base, we need to get you back." He replied.
"Oh," she said. She closed her eyes and waited for the familiar sensation of flying.
"Flame on!" He shouted and they rose into the sky.
