Sue had been following the man for long over an hour now, she'd lost track of time. He had unknowingly led her back to what must have been a hide out of some sort. She silently walked through the entrance, looking around to see if anyone could see her, which was impossible as she was still invisible.
"Nick, is that you?" A voice said from the other side of the room.
"Yeah, I'm back."
"Did you accomplish the task?" the man was still hidden from view, but the voice sounded commanding to Sue. She could imagine an imposing man, smart suit, perfect appearance.
"Yes, I missed her heart by a fraction." Nick replied. Sue watched him shudder slightly as the imposing man growled. "The effect will be the same though. It'll still work."
"You had better hope you're right." Sue stood there confused. It wasn't a random attack as she'd first assumed. There had been a few of those over the years. She had to find out the effects of the blast. She hurried out of that room in search for a computer. She ran through 3 different rooms before finding what she was looking for. She quickly sat on the chair in front of the computer and started accessing the data. She read over it and printed out the information so Reed could take a look at it.
A sudden wave of nausea swept over her and she knew it was time to go. Her invisibility was slipping. Although she had grown a lot stronger with her powers she had been using it solidly for almost two hours now. She slid the documents under her suit so they remained invisible and found her way out of the building.
She then hurried a few blocks away from the hide out and pulled out her mobile. She dialled in a number and waited for somebody to pick up, nervously biting her lip.
"Hello?"
Johnny, she thought. Good. "It's Sue. I've just come out of their building."
"Their building?" He questioned.
"I followed the guy that attacked us back to some sort of big building." She filled him in briefly. "So now I'm on my way home. Is Amara ok?"
"I'm not sure. She lost a lot of blood." Johnny said strained.
"She'll be ok, Johnny. Reed will look after her." Johnny rolled his eyes, invisible to his sister. "I'll be home as soon as I can."
Reed walked over to Amara's bedside. He was worried about his cousin, by his calculations she should have woken up by now, but the wound was just inches away from her heart. He changed her bandages and gave her another dose of pain killer. He turned around to see Sue at the door, leaning on the wall.
"How is she?" she asked quietly.
"As well as can be expected." Reed replied. "Johnny said you had some information?"
"Yes, I'm not sure how helpful it will be," Sue replied, pulling out the documents. "It wasn't random Reed; they were trying to hurt one of us. Amara was just the unlucky one." Reed nodded and looked over the documents. Sue decided that she would only be in the way if she stayed so she went in search of Johnny. It didn't take her too long to find her brother.
"Hey Johnny." She said smiling slightly. "Hey Matty, how are you today?"
"Aunty Sue!" Matty smiled happily and went over to hug her. "I'm good now."
"You'll be just like your Dad when you grow up," Sue said laughing. Then she winced slightly. Hopefully he'll be nothing like Chris. She looked up at Johnny. "I meant he was charming…"
"I know you did Susie," Johnny replied. "It's ok."
"What's wrong Daddy?" Matty asked, looking up at his father.
"Nothing Little Man, everything's great." Johnny said, shielding his son from the truth. Matthew laughed and went back to his toys.
"Stay there Matty, me and your Aunty need to talk."
"Johnny its 'your Aunt and I'" Sue corrected.
"If you say so…" Johnny said smiling as he walked out of the room, Sue following behind.
"What is it?" She asked quietly.
"Look I haven't told Matty, I don't want him to worry or get scared."
"I guessed, but you can't keep it from him, he's smart he'll figure it out." Sue replied softly.
"I know, I just…"
"Yeah I understand. I'll stay and look after him if you want to go to Amara." Sue suggested.
"Thanks Susie." He squeezed her arm and watched her walk back into Matty's room. He turned away and walked to the Infirmary.
"I found something." Reed said as Johnny walked in.
"What?" Johnny asked bluntly.
"The beam that hit Amara, it attacks the DNA in her body. And as our DNA was altered the effects are different to that of a normal person."
"What does that mean? Is it…will it…?"
"It won't kill her Johnny." Reed said softly. "The truth is I'm not sure what the effect will be. On a normal human it can leave them in a coma for years, or the less extreme out come is it can change the DNA sequencing, making them more or less likely to contact diseases and infections."
"So it could be worse for us?" Johnny asked, trying to take it in.
"Yes it could be, alternately it could be better."
"How?" Johnny scoffed.
"Well it could even cure us of our condition."
"I thought we'd agreed long ago that what we have is not an illness." Johnny said angrily.
Reed sighed. "I'm sorry Johnny, but I just don't know what will happen."
"Keep the noise down," said a groggy voice from the corner of the room.
"Guess she won't be in a coma," Johnny said happily, making his way to the bed.
Again...REVIEW :P
