She then saw a man standing in front of her, he was only wearing red trunks and boots. He had long hair and an even longer beard. He looked kinda familiar, like Becky had seen him somewhere before.
The man spoke "Nice work saving that girl, this city can be pretty brutal. You have a lot of potential, but you need some work".
He then began to walk towards Becky, which she did not like "Hey stand back, I'll burn you if you come any closer".
He ignored her and continued walking. Becky threatens him, but he didn't listen to her. She couldn't figure this guy out or why he was so confident. What she did know was she couldn't take any risks, so Becky threw her fist forward and let out a blast of fire into the man's direction. Instead of stopping him, he just walks right into Becky's fire and let the flames engulf him. She didn't let up either, not until she felt his hand cover her fist and stop the attack.
Becky looked over the man and didn't see one mark or burn on him "How, I didn't hold back at all?".
It was as if her flames had no effect on him. She looked up at him stunned "Who are you?"
The man let go and smiled "I'm Daniel Bryan".
Currently
Becky's eyes widened before taking her hand back "Well, it's a pleasure to finally meet you Mr. Bryan".
Becky stood up straight and held her head up high. She wanted to make a good first impression and act like meeting Daniel was no big deal, but in her head she was losing it "Holy fucking balls! Its Daniel Bryan, the American Dragon, one of the most amazing and respected mutants in the world! Ok Becky act cool".
Daniel Bryan, Becky was right in her assessment. Daniel was known worldwide, going to any town, city, state, or country that required his help. No crime was too little or big for Daniel, if he felt as if he could do something to make someone else's day better he would jump in an instant.
Along with that he had an extremely rare power, he was indestructible, making him impossible to kill. Which meant in extremely dangerous missions where the conditions would be fatal to others, Daniel could survive the situation easily. He would often throw himself into a burning building, dive into deep waters, even walkthrough highly radioactive environments without being affected in the slightest.
He was also a role model for all aspiring mutants who wished to use their powers to help others. This included Becky, who has followed Daniel's work for years now. She couldn't believe she didn't recognize him at first sight.
"You've done a lot of good work since you've gotten here Miss... Lass Kicker was it" Daniel asked.
Becky had to snap out of her admiration "Y-yeah, that's me and thank you, that means a lot coming from you".
Daniel walked in a circle around Becky examining her "That's quite a power you have to. Fire is always good for a strong offense. Not to mention those eyes scared that poor bastard to death".
"My eyes" Becky whispers "They must have activated without me even noticing".
"However…" Daniel stopped in front of Becky "You can't always count on overpowering your enemies because when you face someone stronger than you, you need to be able to out think them".
"What do you mean?" Becky asked.
Instead of getting an answer, Becky received a kick to the gut and an elbow to the back of the neck sending her to the ground. Then in a matter of seconds, Daniel tied Becky up like a pretzel in a submission like move "I call this the Yes Lock. Now believe it or not, in terms of power you're much stronger than me. Yet in a matter of seconds I was able to put you down. Now show me how you would get out of this".
Becky could feel her shoulder slowly being dislocated. She knew she had to do something, luckily she had a trick up her sleeve. She moved her jaw to slowly remove the mask on her face. Once it was off, Becky turned her head to Daniel. He gave her an odd look before being blinded by a stream of ash being spewed from Becky's mouth.
This was an ability Becky had just recently discovered. Since fire turned things into ash, Becky found that she was able to create ash and project it from her mouth. She is still trying to master it, but she figured since she was trying to impress Daniel Bryan she should use it and it paid off. In that moment of blindness Becky was able to escape Daniel's grip on her.
Once separated Becky immediately grabbed her shoulder, making sure it wasn't damaged too badly. She didn't think it was separated but it was very sore. Daniel was back on his feet and walked towards Becky while rubbing his eyes.
"Not bad, although you should have kept coming after me when you had me blind, but you didn't know this was a test" Daniel said dusting himself off.
He walked up to Becky, she watched him carefully just in case he would try something else. Instead, he put his hand up and gestures towards her shoulder "May I?".
It appeared he was sincere, so Becky allowed Daniel to check her shoulder. He placed his hand on the top of her shoulder and circles her arm around with the other.
He was checking for any injuries and besides a few wincing faces from Becky, she was ok "I didn't put enough pressure on to do any real damage but you will be sore tomorrow".
To which Becky waved him off "Don't worry, I heal really fast. Even if you did dislocate my shoulder it would heal itself in a couple hours".
What Becky didn't notice was that her mask had fallen off after her last attack and her face was exposed for Daniel to see "You're just a kid".
Becky quickly reached for her face a gasped "Oh no?".
Seeing that she was beginning to panic Daniel put a hand on her shoulder "Don't worry, it's not like I'm going to take a picture or something. I'm just amazed at how skilled you are for someone so young".
Becky's stomach was doing flips, she never would have thought she would hear Daniel Bryan give her such a compliment. He then motioned over to the edge of the building for them to sit. Once seated Becky looked down at her dangling feet, the two were pretty high up so no one should notice them. It was quiet for a moment, just the sounds of the city.
Until Becky spoke up "Daniel, can I get your opinion on something".
To which Daniel nodded, giving Becky the ok "Have you heard of the pep rally crash in Whisper Wind Falls by any chance".
Daniel scratched his beard as he thought back "Yes, actually. I have been there quite a few times. Not the most friendly bunch of humans in the world over their".
That last comment made Becky roll her eyes "You have no idea. Anyway, one of my best friends was behind the attack. I know she's just doing what she feels is right, and in a way I can understand what she's doing. She just wants humans to feel the pain they give out, but I just don't think that's the right way to go about things. Two wrongs don't make a right, and this can only make the tension between humans and mutants even worse".
Becky stopped for a moment and twiddles her fingers "but what I'm really afraid of is having to fight her. Me and her want to change our town in two very different ways. Her group and mine are on a collision course, and I'm afraid".
Becky began to choke up. Daniel watched as he could see the poor girl was deeply conflicted. He knew situations like this could be tough, and he could only imagine how much worse it must be for a teenage girl to go through.
Becky began to speak between sobs "I'm just scared… what if… the only way to stop this from causing war in our town, is to take them out. What if… I have to… kill...".
Her emotions got the best of her and she threw herself at Daniel and cried into his chest "I don't want to kill my friend!".
This was one of the first things Becky had to think about when she saw that Sasha had joined Paige. In this world, it was not uncommon for heroes and villains to kill each other. It was just how things worked out sometimes. Although Absolution has shown no interest in killing anyone, Becky knew if push came to shove, they would have no problem taking out anyone that got in their way. She also knew she was going to have to step up to them at some point, which meant she would have to fight Sasha.
She felt Daniel pat her head "Tell me, this friend of yours. Do you trust her".
Although Becky didn't trust Paige, Sonya, or Mandy. She felt deep down that Sasha was still her friend and that she could still put some belief in her.
So Becky nodded her head, causing Daniel to smile "Then you need to give her time. In this day and age, their very well may be no heroes or villains. Everyone is just doing what they believe is right. However, you can take things too far. I say, let her know you trust her and her decision making. If she's friends with you, then I'm sure if things get out of hand, she'll be able to see that and realize what she's doing is wrong. Don't make any rash decisions, right now just play wait and see with this new group".
Becky wiped her tears away. Although she wished she could get Sasha back sooner rather than later, she needed to believe in her. This also meant she needed to find Sasha quick, to tell her this.
Daniel then stood up "What's your real name".
Becky stood up, she was unsure if she should tell him. After all, other than her friends no one back home knew she was a mutant and with Nikki being on to her she needed to be really careful. Then again Daniel had no reason to betray Becky.
So she told him "I'm Becky Lynch".
"Well, Becky let me leave you with this. This world is filled with bad people, but among them you'll find a few who are just lost and misguided. Those are the people who really need your help, and your friend may very well be one of these people".
Becky nodded, but Daniel wasn't finished "But even more important, make sure you don't become the person who gets lost. Always remember why you chose the path your on, remember why you fight and why you want to change your town. Never lose the fire that burns within you".
Daniel then stuck his hand out "It was nice to finally meet you. I hope this isn't the last time we cross paths".
Becky shook his hand "Me too. Thank you for the advice".
With that, Daniel jumped off the building into the alley where he disappeared. Once he was gone, Becky fell down on her back and let out a sigh. If meeting Daniel Bryan wasn't crazy enough, she now had a lot to think about when it came to Sasha and what she needed to do when she got back home.
Becky looked up into the night sky "I need my bed".
Whisper Wind Falls
The loud hum of a motorcycle could be heard echoing through the town as it was flying down the streets. Driving the bike was Dean, who had Bayley clinging onto his back as if her life depends on it.
The two were on their way to Sasha's house to talk to her cousins. They figured if anyone had any real information on Sasha's where abouts it be them. Also, they couldn't imagine what they must be going through and just thought they should check in on them as well.
While Dean has met Sasha's family on a number of occasions, Bayley has not. In fact, she had no idea where Sasha even lived. All she knew was that there were three of them and apparently they are the complete opposite of Sasha.
As Bayley was fully concentrated on not falling off the bike and dying. She couldn't help but think about how she and Sasha never really got along. It was a shame really, all they ever did was fight and bicker. Sure, Sasha may have started it by being a bit of a bitch when the first time they really talked but it wasn't all bad. After all Sasha did save Bayley from a severe beating from Nikki on her first day and at least there was never a dull moment when she was around.
The one memory that stuck out in Bayley's head the most was when she gave Sasha her Wonder Woman themed gear. She could see how ecstatic she was by the look on her face. It was the first time Sasha had looked at Bayley with something other than a scowl. It was in that brief moment Bayley got a glimpse of the real Sasha, the person behind the brave face. For some reason Bayley liked that Sasha, she like making her happy. It was strange but it felt so right.
After that Bayley was hoping to finally get a fresh start with Sasha. To maybe get closer to her and make her smile even more, that was the face Bayley wanted to see. That all changed when Paige came into the picture and that last look Sasha gave Bayley, that cocky smirk, was a face Bayley didn't want to see at all.
One thing's for sure, she needed to find Sasha and fast. At the very least to get some answers from her and find out what she was trying to accomplish.
Eventually Dean pulled into to a driveway and parked his bike. The house was just like any other, it appeared to have two stories and was white with a black roof.
"You can let go of me now Bayley" Dean sighed.
"Oh right…" Bayley said, letting go of Dean and hopping off the bike.
After hanging their helmets on the bike, the two walked up to the front door and Dean rang the doorbell. A minute went by and no one came to the door. So Dean tried again, but still no one came to his call. Now getting frustrated, Dean repeatedly banged on the door until he got an answer.
"IF YOU DAMN NEWS FOLK DON'T STOP BANGING ON MY FUCKING DOOR I'M GONNA…!".
The door then swung open, exposing a man holding a trombone "... oh Dean it's just you sorry about tha-".
Then another man came to the door "Wood's, put the trombone down man".
The man named woods did as he was told "My bad Kofi, I thought it was the news agai-".
Like a speeding bullet a pancake came flying out of nowhere. Dean was able to dodge the flapjack but it ended up hitting Bayley right in the face.
The two other men had to stop the much bigger man who was charging at the door with a plate of pancakes "Yo, E! Calm down man, it's just Dean!".
Once he saw they were telling the truth, he sat down the food "Oh. My bad. Sup Dean, is your friend ok".
Bayley was on the ground as she put her thumb up "I'm good, it's just my eye is all".
Now that the confusion had past the cousins invited Dean and Bayley into the home. It was a pretty nice house, the first thing Bayley noticed was the big tv and multiple gaming systems. Obviously this family was big on gaming, which made Bayley wish she had gotten along with Sasha more.
Bayley and Dean took a seat on the leather couch as Kofi spoke "Sorry about that Dean, ever since that pep rally, the news has consistently been trying to interview us and try to make a story off us".
Dean waved him off "it's cool don't worry about it".
"Easy for you to say…" Bayley said, rubbing her eye.
"And who might you be" Woods asked.
Bayley looked around before realizing they were talking to her "Oh me. My names Bayley Martinez".
The three cousins all looked at each other before laughing. Then the man named E spoke "Oh, so you the Bayley Sasha don't like".
Bayley then dropped her head down "Way to put it bluntly".
"Don't feel too bad about it, Sasha doesn't like anyone at first. Anyway, allow me to introduce ourselves. I'm Xavier Woods. This is Kofi Kingston and big man here is Ettore Langston but you can just call him Big E".
Bayley nodded her head, taking a mental note of their names "it's nice to meet you all".
Once the pleasantries were over, Dean got down to business "So how have you guys been holding up. I can't imagine what you must be going through".
The mood in the room instantly changed. The three men were visibly upset and look as if they hadn't gotten a good night's sleep in days.
Kofi scratches his neck "it's been rough that's for sure. I mean everything that happened just totally blindsided us. We knew about Sasha getting her powers, but we never thought she would do something like this".
"Not like that old bastard didn't deserve it" Big E weighed in.
Although true, Xavier changes the topic "Ever since that day we haven't heard anything from Sasha. We've spent days trying to track her and got jack shit".
"Do you remember anything strange going on with Sasha the day it happened" Dean asked.
The three thought about it for a moment before Kofi answers "Not really, it was business as usual. We had breakfast, talked, and played some video games before we had to go to work".
Then Xavier snapped his finger "Hold up I remember before I left, Sasha came up to me. She was acting kind of strange, like she wanted to tell me something but couldn't bring herself to say what was on her mind. I guess now I know what".
"Did she say where she was going" Bayley asked.
Big E then shook his head "No, but I do know she's was spending a lot of time at the Waterfall that week".
This caused Bayley raise an eyebrow "Why would she be there that week. We haven't gone there for the past week and a half to train because Becky is in New York".
Then Xavier got up "We are glad you're here though Dean".
Then Kofi quickly ran upstairs. After about a minute came back with something in his hand and Bayley immediately recognized what it was.
Kofi handed it to Dean "We already checked Sasha's room for clues, but she took anything that could give us a lead. I think she was in a rush though and forgot this. Do you think you can use it to track her down".
It was the Wonder Woman gear, Sasha had worn it the few times she went out protecting the town before she joined Paige.
Dean gave it a quick sniff "Yup, it still has her scent on it. Thank god she's too lazy to do her laundry. I can get my dogs to smell this and we should be able to track her down in no time".
The three men all celebrated and Bayley couldn't help but smile. They were this much closer to finding Sasha.
"Please guys, we're out of options. Bring her back" Big E pleaded with a smidgen of emotion leaking out.
Dean was about to speak before Bayley beat him to it "We'll find her. No matter what".
The only problem was, Sasha was not alone. So even if they do find their friend, Absolution won't be far.
Hello everyone, thanks for those who are reading. I haven't been writing as much anymore because I'm starting to feel like people don't care about this story too much. I rarely get any reviews and I just haven't seen the growth in this story that I was hoping for. TBH I don't really care about views, it's the low amount of reviews that has gotten me down and unsure if I should continue. Usually I would just stop posting, but I love this story so much and have the next three arcs planned out. So I just wanted to see how many still cares about this story and if you want more or if I'm just wasting my time. I hope I can keep writing this, but if not I have other ideas for stories that I'd like to work on. Thanks for the feedback, and if this is the last chapter thanks to the ones who stuck with me and read the little world I created.
