Chapter 4: Jasmine P.O.V.
"What do you mean by that?" asked a skeptical Zane.
"Here, I'll show you" I pulled my M.A.A.H.C out of my bag and turned it on. I scrolled through the options until I came to the one I wanted. Oddly enough it was labeled, insanely powerful heat source. I clicked on the option and set the M.A.A.H.C on the floor. A second later an old invention of mine materialized. Considering how much heat it could generate, it was really small. It was basically a backpack pressure washer, except instead of water, it used fire. But if need be it could shoot out water to or ice. It depended on how cold you needed it. "This can generate up to twenty thousand degrees Celsius."
"Jasmine, you never cease to amaze." Allison said hugging me.
"So who wants to be the one to go shoot the gas with this?" I asked. Zane immediately raised his hand, and Jo just rolled her eyes. It was so easy to tell they were dating.
"Wait" Interrupted Henry. "How is he going to survive, between the blistering hot fire, and the freezing cold gas. One of them is going to get him." Henry pointed out.
"I don't suppose you got an all purpose environmental suit in there?" asked Zane. I just smiled and picked up my M.A.A.H.C.
"What size are you?" I asked, grinning from ear-to-ear. His mouth dropped, and I think he started drooling a little. Boys and there technology. Jo jabbed him in the ribs.
"Five" he chocked out. I hit a few buttons on the MAAHC, and a size five, all purpose environmental suit materialized in my hand. I threw it at Zane and he easily caught it. I looked around the room at the others, their faces mirrored Zane's, well except Allison's. I had shown her some of the things in the MAAHC. The all purpose environmental suit was one of them.
"What!" I exclaimed. Trying, unsuccessfully, to break them out of their trance. "Being home schooled I had a lot of free time on my hands. Also, if you forgot. There's a murderous gas in the next room!" I yelled. That seemed to snap them out of it. Henry and Fargo ran over to a panel and started hitting buttons. Zane put the suit on. Jo pulled out her phone and started asking whoever was on the other side if everyone had been evacuated. Allison supervised all of this. And Carter, well Carter pretty much just stood there, not sure what to do. I motioned for Zane to come over to me once he was finished putting on the suit.
"So, how do I protect my face?" he asked. I pointed at a set of buttons on the shoulder of the suit. He hit one. "Well that's useless, it's broken!"he complained.
"No it's not" I said smugly.
"Well it doesn't look like it's doing anything." he said. Okay Zane was cute, but I kinda want to punch him. I hit the button again and then hit another one next to it. A mask grew out of the suit. I pulled it over his face.
"There, now you won't have any damage to your face." I said, crossing my arms and glaring at him. He walked over to fire pressure thing. You know maybe I should name my all my invention.
"How do you use this thing?" he asked. I walked over to him and picked up the fire pressure. I strapped it to his back and handed him the pressure gun.
"Listen closely. There are two settings on the gun. Heat and cold. Right now, you want it to be set on heat. Theirs a gauge on the side of the gun. To turn up the heat, turn the gauge to the right, left to cool down. Turn it left all the way to shut it off. Got that?" I asked. He nodded his head. I walked over to Allison and told her we were all good. We all went over to glass, and watched as Zane entered the room with the murderous gas. The door was bolted shut behind him.
He turned on the fire pressure thing, okay I am so naming my invention! Let's just call it the thing that's gonna save are asses!
Fire bust out of the gun. Some of the gas began to dissipate. But most of it was still going strong, it was like it had a mind of its own. The gas drifted over toward him. Zane turned the gauge on the gun up and the fire got bigger and hotter. A few items in the room were starting to catch on fire and melt. He ran through the gas and toward the center of the room. The gas around him dissipated, and all of the gas faded and evaporated. But they had another problem, everything was on fire!
Zane dropped the gun and screamed. I ran over to the glass and started banging on it. He obviously only half listened to what I told him! I mouthed flip the switch. And somewhere in that tiny brain of his, he must have got the message. Because he picked the gun back up and flipped the switch and aimed the gun at the largest fire. He pulled the trigger and water burst out of it. He turned around and around, probably getting very dizzy. Trying, successfully, to put out all the fires.
When he finally put all the fires, he took the thing that saved are asses off, and fainted. I burst out laughing, and the others joined me. Even Jo laughed for a minute before entering the lab to wake Zane up. Well this was definitely an exciting first day, I can't wait for even more insane things to happen!
Yeah I know, Zane fainting. That probably wouldn't happen in the show, but I couldn't resist. RR
