There were certain neighborhoods that normal people don't walk at night. The places where those people hang out and live. There were robberies, murders and countless amounts of drugs and violence there. These places are called mutant ghettos, and most normal and rich people didn't go there.
So at almost 4 in the morning as a nice and nearly new car rolled down the street, all who were awake watched it ride by, including the Trinity.
The Trinity consisted of the 3 Umaga kids. May was the youngest and the only girl, and the smartest of the three. She had short spiked black hair and she was extremely thin due to her skill and strength as a extortionist. She was the first of the three to notice the car.
"Eh bruh," May said as she tapped her older brother, Mark, on his tattooed shoulder. "That scraper is way to clean to belong to anybody here."
Mark was the oldest one of the Trinity, and May's only relative left of their immediate family. He was a few inches taller than May and had thick wavy black hair, longer than his sisters.
"Sure is," Mark replied. "Not only that, it's also hella new."
"I wish we could afford a scraper like that." Marvin, the cousin to May and Mark spoke up. Marvin was only a few days younger than Mark, but was much bigger. He stood at least 4 inches taller than Mark and had a very muscular build.
The three of them looked from behind an alleyway wall as the car passed. It looked out of place amoung the tattered cars that were parked along the sidewalk as it strutted down the street.
"I'm gonna get a better look!" May exclaimed and with that she disappeared literally into thin air. Mark grunted but said nothing, his sister could be almost at the car for all he knew. Beside, she wouldn't listen anyway.
"You think we should help her?" Marvin asked. Mark nodded.
With a snap of his fingers, Marvin had stopped the car dead, and it was slowly rolling to a stop at the end of the street. Marvin was pleased with what he had done and turned to his cousin to see what he'd do next. Mark did nothing spectacular, he simply used his powers to lock the doors.
The two of them laughed at themselves before focusing their attention to the car again.
Slowly it began to move
Mark wasn't sure where his sister was and suddenly the moving car became a threat. Immediately, Mark stood and ran to the middle of the street, using all of his strength to render the car immobile.
"Shadow!" Mark called for May. "Where are you?"
I'll help you find her, the voice came from nowhere, but Mark heard it, and he was sure Marvin did too, because Marvin had jumped up from his spot and stood beside him, looking for the source of the sound.
Drops of rain slowly fell from the sky, then suddenly they began to fall like thick sheets atop their heads. A silhouette formed next to the car, standing next to the driver side door before slowly lifting into the air.
"May!" Mark and Marvin called in unison, as the silhouette continued to float higher and higher into the air.
The car door opened and out stepped a thin woman with long black and white stripped hair.
"Who's the zebra?" Marvin whispered to his cousin as he stood helpless in the rain. He wanted so badly to just zap that stranger dead but to do that would mean risking both his cousins lives.
Zebra?
The voice again startled the two men, but neither of them said anything.
This Zebra is the one who's got your sister stuck in the middle of the air.
