I don't like this chapter so much, but tell me what you think. Oh yeah, can you people please read the other fic my sister has done. And review it if you can. She wants more reviews if she is gonna keep writing.
Chapter 2: Discoveries
"Fang. What are you doing?" Iggy asked. Fang's arm was now fully stretched, his fingers now inches away from the fire. He paused. Then he twitched his fingers, and the fire went out.
"Whoa!" cried Nudge. Fang twitched his fingers again, and the fire started up.
"Holy shit!" said Total. I was too astounded to remind him about language. Fang's hand twitched once more. The fire went out again. He clenched his fist and closed his eyes. Then his hand burst into flames.
I immediately dived for cover, grabbing Gazzy and Angel on the way down. Nudge had hauled Iggy down next to us.
"Total!" cried Angel. That dog is all she cares about.
"What?" called Total "This is the coolest thing ever!" He said with obvious excitement. I sat up to see Fang smiling, yes smiling, at his hand which was now sparking red fire. Slowly, the rest of us sat up open mouthed. His hand was on fire and yet, he wasn't burning.
"Bigger! Bigger!" Total was laughing, urging Fang on. Fang tensed, making the flames reach higher and higher. It was pretty cool.
"Can you go hotter? Go hotter" said Total enjoying the hell out of this. Fang smiled again. This time the flames started to turn blue. I could feel the air around me hotting up. The smell of burning filled the air. Fang tensed again, and the flames became a bright white colour, forcing me to shield my eyes. It was really getting hot now, I was sweating uncontrollably. Angel wined, and pressed herself to my side to show her distress.
"Fang!" I shouted. He looked at us for the first time, then snapped his hand shut. The flames went out. "What?" he said innocently. I stared at him still open mouthed.
"That was...so totally AWESOME!!" yelled Gazzy "DO IT AGAIN. Oh man. Iggy you should have seen it. It was AWESOME!!" he shouted for the second time.
"What happened?" said Iggy. Then we all burst out laughing. Well except Fang, he sort of chuckled.
"Fang just made the fire go out, then back up, then out again. Then it started coming from his hand, and it went bigger and it changed colour from red to blue, and then it was like a really bright light. It was so pretty...Fang? Can you make it go into other colours, like green or pink? That would be ultra-cool." Fang just sort of nodded in confusion.
"Wait" said Iggy, "Did you say 'fire from his hand'?"
"Yeah. How did that happen Fang? Did the fall jog your pyro powers or something?" I questioned, feeling like there was something important that he was hiding from me.
"I have a new theory, about my powers." he said slowly.
"Go on" I said, expecting a bombshell.
"I think I'm absorbing them." he said, "It makes sense. I absorbed Angel's telepathy and then I..." I cut him off.
"So who did you absorb that one from?" I said crossly "None of us have fiery hands."
"Don't be too sure." Fang whispered quietly. WHAT? Who the h can... I looked at Iggy. He was looking at his sneaker with great interest.
"Iggy" I warned.
"Okay. Okay I can move fire with my hands. I can't make it get bigger, or change colour. It just stays the same. But I need like...a source." He pulled a lighter out of his pocket. He ignited it, and suddenly the flame leapt into his right hand. It was the size a baseball, and it was the same colour red as Fang's fireball.
"This is all I can do. It doesn't help being blind." That made me pity him.
"Iggy" I said sorrowfully "Why didn't you tell anyone?"
"I told Fang." I looked at Fang, his eyes not revealing anything. I gave him a look.
"He didn't want me to tell anyone. I thought that when I that new power that he should say something." Fang finally admitted. It was then I noticed that only me Fang and Iggy were awake.
"I'm going to sleep. See you guys in the morning" and Iggy laid down on top of a log.
"So you are absorbing powers" I yelled to Fang. He had suggested going out for a quick flight, which is kinda odd. But what in our lives isn't odd?
"It seems that way doesn't it." said Fang, although his mind seemed elsewhere.
"So why did you want to come flying? You hardly ever want to do that." I teased. He smiled.
"Because I wanted to show you this..." He breathed heavily, and then he shot forward like a rocket. He was flying way faster than me. I closed my eyes and let the adrenaline take me. I felt the familiar jolt as I zoomed into supersonic speed, to come level with Fang. He smiled and we both slowed.
"Show off!" I laughed at him "Come on lets get something from the store down there."
We landed in a clump of trees next to the nearest retail store. I shook off my legs and walked towards the store. The door to a bar opened, and a drunken guy with a scraggy beard slumbered out. He bumped into me blindly, and mumbled something about 'youngsters'. Fang and I shared a look.
"Anything you want from in here?" I asked him.
"Cornetto" he said with a straight face. I laughed. I really don't get that boy at times.
The man looked at the CCTV surveillance. It wasn't good. The subjects were progressing, faster than the Professor predicted. Continuing like this could mean the end. For him. For the other founders. For the future of humanity. Should these...mutants pursue in their quest, they could destroy the world that they were destined to create.
He dialled the Professor's number. He would need to know. It was silent for a few seconds, and then the Professor answered.
"Sir. You called."
"Yes I did." The man replied, "The subjects are progressing. Vey fast, impossibly fast... too fast."
"Then you want me to bring them in?" said the Professor.
"Yes. If you can, send in Shock's team. I would rather like to see the outcome." Yes. That would be a worthy showdown.
"Yes sir. I'll make the arrangements."
"Good. Oh... and Professor. I'm sorry. I really am. But it has to be done." the man said with complete sincerity.
"I know Mr Linderman, I know..." and then he hung up.
The first of many Heroes characters. Don't worry there will be more. Oh yeah, see if you can guess who 'the Professor' is. R+R again.
