About 5,000 feet in the air you would find Becky flying in her cousins Finn's private jet. For most people, flying first class on a private jet would be the most luxurious way to travel. In Becky's case it was turning into a nightmare. Finn had gotten a phone call so he went into another part of the plane to take the call. After he left it didn't take long for Becky's flight to become a living hell.
Once Finn was gone his company was replaced by another, the evil dark voice that sounded so much like her own. The same voice that has been driving Becky to the brink of a mental breakdown.
The voice which only seemed to want to make Becky suffer spoke "WELL IF THIS ISN'T AN OPPORTUNITY THEN I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS!".
The shooting pain in Becky's head was back as well, causing her to hold her head "For fuck's sake don't you ever take a break".
All she got was more laughter "YOU DON'T GET IT DO YOU, THAT ANNOYING LITTLE CUNT YOU LOVE SO MUCH ISN'T HERE TO SAVE YOU. WHICH MEANS YOUR MY BITCH FROM HERE ON OUT!".
Becky clenched a handful of her hair in anger "Don't you ever call her that again. Or else!".
Unfortunately the voice called her bluff "OR ELSE WHAT, YOU CAN'T TOUCH ME!".
The voice was right, without Liv, Becky was helpless. Which made the voice very happy "PERHAPS YOU NEED TO SEE A LITTLE MORE BLOOD ON YOUR HAND!".
"Piss off!" Becky demanded, fed up with the voice alway getting its way.
Then just as Becky was about to fall prey to another vision Finn came back "Sorry about that Becky, one of my business partners needed me".
Becky and Finn made eye contact for a split second before Becky looked away. She remembered how her eyes change when the voice appears and she didn't want Finn to see her like that, but for that brief moment of eye contact something happened. Becky felt, warm.
Usually when the voice invaded her conscience Becky felt her anxiety shoot through the roof. Her stomach would be in knots and her chest felt tight. The only way she could describe it was, like she was stuck in a pitch black cave, the air was muggy and humid and the walls around her felt like they were slowly closing in making it harder and harder to breath. Each time the voice came back the walls closed in more and more adding pressure onto her body, slowly squeezing the life and sanity out of her.
However, when she made eye contact with Finn for that small moment, the entire vibe she was feeling changes. Like the walls stopped closing in and backed off. That dark cave once again was filled with light and Becky felt like herself again. She felt, peaceful.
Even the voice seemed less violent, when it spoke it was calm and relaxed "This man… he's…".
All of that evil energy was gone and the voice disappeared. It was almost as if Liv was here, but instead it was Finn who calmed her down
"Are you ok?" Finn asked.
Becky wasn't quite sure what happen, she slowly nodded her head as Finn took a seat next to her. Unlike with Liv, when Becky saw Finn, the voice inside her seemed to have changed. As odd as what just happened was, Becky decided not to question it and refocus on her trip.
The two were on their way to New York and would be landing in under an hour. The two spent a majority of their time talking and catching up. Finn told Becky all about the beautiful countries and places he's been to since they last seen each other. He also told her about some of the beautiful women he met which only earned him an elbow to the ribs.
Becky on the other hand told him all about Bayley and how she's quickly becoming one of her favorite people. Finn then tried to get some details on her situation with Liv, almost teasing her like he was her older brother.
One thing Becky didn't tell Finn was her developing powers. After what just happen, it was very clear that it was too soon. The fact that she didn't have the voices under control yet was just another reason to not say anything. Becky was extremely worried about those voices during this trip. The only time when She could escape that evil voice in her head was when Liv was around, but when Becky gets to New York, Liv would be thousands of miles away from her. Then again, after what just happen with Finn, maybe she didn't need to worry as much.
In fact, it seemed as if they were a few situations where the voice would not show up. Either when Becky was with Liv, off protecting the town, and now when she was with Finn. Which was fine by her, but she knew the voice wouldn't stay away forever and unfortunately it's been getting progressively worse.
Ever since the voice assisted her in the battle against the Bludgeon Brothers, Becky has gotten more visions than ever before. At least twice a day Becky sees a vision where she had killed her friends and countless other people.
Not to mention she can't get a good night's sleep due to the fact of the nightmares she gets. A nightmare where she's killing nonstop and powerless to stop herself.
The thing that concerned Becky the most was how numb she was becoming to visions and nightmares. More than that, how the idea of killing didn't faze her as much as it use to. Before she use to throw up after vision because after seeing all those dead bodies, with blood on her hands and the taste of it on her tongue, it would appall her. Now, she barely even gave it a second thought. The only time she did was when it involved her friends, especially Liv.
Becky then shook her head, it was bad enough the voice came and gone as it pleased, she shouldn't torture herself more by thinking about it while it was silent. Becky was on her phone and saw a video from back home that Bayley shared. It was about the Whisper Wind Four.
Becky went to click on it "Hello ladies and gentlemen, I am Kayla Braxton giving you a mobile update. The streets of Whisper Wind Falls have felt a new sense of security ever since the emergence of the Whisper Wind Four. When the Fashion Police went down, we saw a high increase in crime rate and whether everyone would like to admit it or not the town lost a major part in its protection, but with the arrival of this new group I think we can all agree that the town has been much safer".
Becky smiled, even though she couldn't say it, she was feeling on top of the world. This was just the beginning, she knew if they could just keep this up it wouldn't take long until the popular opinion in town was that this group of mutants was a good thing.
Finn even looked over at the video as it continued "So just who are the people under the skull masks, that each member wears to show their unity. Although specifics are unclear at this time, the town has given names to the individuals. The two girls who appear to have super powered legs are known as Team Fly Kick. The lone male in the group has been heard to be addressed as The Lunatic from his teammates. Last but certainly not least is the leader of the group
"Leader?" Becky thought.
"She has been known to go by many names, originally being dubbed La Lucha Dora, and then telling a victim she saved that her name is The Lass Kicker. However the people have seemed to have given her the title of "The Man". After hearing her refer to herself as this…".
Becky then gave an embarrassed chuckled. During a fight with other mutants who were causing trouble, Becky would find herself getting hyped up as the fight dragged on. So much so that when she was winning she would yell out "WHOS THE MAN". She figured someone must heard and tweeted about it.
"I'll tell you those guys really are something" Finn said.
Becky looked at him with a glimmer in her eye "You think so".
Finn nodded "Oh yeah, it takes a lot of guts to do what they're doing. Especially knowing that a lot of people are still going to hate them for being mutants no matter how much good they do".
"What do you mean?".
Finn explained "Well the older people in town are going to hate mutants no matter what. Perhaps some will see the light, but for the most part I'm afraid those people will never change".
This was the last thing Becky was hoping to hear. Her own cousin basically just said her dream to change the town was pointless. She knew it may take longer for some people to come around, but she didn't think it was impossible. At least until Finn said it was.
"So you think it's all pointless then…" Becky mumbled, putting her head down "... What the Whisper Wind Four is doing I mean".
Finn then turned his body in his chair to face Becky "No not at all. You see Becky someone with that kind of hate in their heart very rarely can be saved. Sure, some may see the wrong they are committing, but for the most part, those who are racist tend to stay that way. With that being said, nobody is born to hate anyone. Now this is just my opinion, but I truly believe that the key to equality and peace, rest within the next generation of mutants and humans alike. It's up to our current generation to set examples of kindness for the next. We need to show them that we are all able to stand tall together and united, and if we can do that then I know one day we'll see a world without this hate and discrimination".
Becky was absolutely captivated by Finns words. He was right, most people will always be stuck in their ways, but come every new generation was a clean slate and a chance to create a better world for everyone. Even after coming to this realization Becky's goals have not changed, instead they have evolved.
"Man, I can't wait to tell Bayley this" Becky thought, knowing Bayley would feel the same way she does.
Back in town, there was another group of mutants who had a different idea to make the town better one day. In fact, they couldn't care less about how the humans felt. They didn't even particularly care for the new group of mutants keeping the town safe.
"Damn, all anyone is talking about is this Whisper Wind four nonsense" Paige said scrolling down her phone.
Paige was back in the old fishing house where they met up with Sasha a few weeks ago. Mandy, Sonya, and yes, Sasha were with her sitting down on the couch as Paige paced back and forth.
Sasha had found herself spending a lot of time here lately. In fact, in the past couple of weeks Sasha had seen Paige, Mandy and Sonya more than her own inner circle of friends. She didn't mean for that to happen, but with the rest of them working together as part of the Whisper Wind Four, Sasha was kinda the odd woman out. Sure, she helped them at times, but when she did her heart wasn't in it. She didn't feel like this was the way to go about things. She knew what her friends were doing was the right thing to do and they were very much needed but did that mean Sasha had to follow the same road? Or could Sasha find a way to better the town in her own way.
Could this way, possibly be Paige's way? Unlike Becky and Bayley, who thought the way to fix the town's problems was to help anyone and everyone. Paige wanted to strictly focus on helping mutants, and the past couple of weeks they did just that. The four of them served as a bodyguard to all mutants. Whenever they saw a human abusing a mutant, rather it is physically, verbally, or emotionally they step in and protect them. At first they would give a warning, but none of them had a problem getting physical if needed. They protected those who could not protect themselves, rather it was because they didn't have the right kind of power to do so or they just been mentally broken to think they were powerless. Which brought back to the main reason Paige started this group, to take back the respect that was taken from them and remind all mutants that they were special, not cursed.
Paige then stood in front of the girls "Look ladies, the only way we're ever going to make progress is if every human in this bloody town knows we're not someone to mess with. If all anyone is talking about is the Whisper Wind Four then we'll never make any progress".
Mandy raised an eyebrow "How come it's so important that people know who we are. I mean as long as we keep doing what we're doing eventually everyone will get the message".
Paige sighed "Ok, look. Why do humans think they have this imaginary power over us, because they outnumber us? No. It's because of the fear we as mutants live with every day. Sasha you must understand by now, can't you see the difference in how people treat you now that you're a mutant".
Sasha gave it some thought "Well, I was never really a social butterfly to begin with. I've always tried to keep to myself and when people still thought I was human everyone just left me alone. Then the moment people found out I was mutant everything changed, now whenever I'm just walking to class, I can see all the stares and hear all the whispers. They look at me like some kind of animal now, like they're waiting for me to do something bad. Not to mention how someone's always trying to fight me now like they're trying to prove a point and…".
"Show their dominance over you" Paige said "Which is exactly why we need to get our names out there. So next time a human tries to step out of line, they'll be the one who feels like they're being watched. They need to have the fear we as mutants live with every day before we can be equal. We need to become a symbol of that fear that will have all humans constantly looking over their shoulder".
Sasha nodded her head, as long as they kept this directed only to the humans who want to cause trouble, then she felt like this would be a great thing. Only problem was, what would happen when Paige and Becky crossed paths with their respected group. The last thing Sasha wanted was for the two groups to get into a conflict that would end in a fight. After all, she would be stuck right in the middle and that's something she didn't want to deal with.
So she spoke up, "What about the Whisper Wind Four, they won't be a problem will they".
Paige gave it some thought "As long as they stay out of our way, I couldn't care less if they ran around the town playing hero seeking everyone's approval".
Sasha breathed a sigh of relief, if anything, it was just going to have to be up to her to keep these two groups away from each other. She can already tell that Paige and Becky would most likely not get along very well and she didn't need them trying to kill each other.
"So any ideas as to how we can get more attention on us?" Sonya asked.
This question only made Paige smile "You're damn right I do. Suit up girls, we're taking a little trip into town".
