In reply to the review, Peter can only take one power at a time like fugitives, and don't worry he is safe from Antonio, just remember he can absorb Antonio's ability as well. As for Peter getting his powers back to season 1 strength, stay tuned, all it takes is for him to find someone like he used to be or someone with an ability similar to empathy,

Anyway, back to Hiro now……..

'Raven' checked his side mirror, watching to check no one was following them. This had been a good week for capturing mutants. He had just received word that they were to execute all prisoners in their secure facility but lucky for him he had just clocked off his shift and was taking the van home.

Raven brushed his hair back, long strands that covered his face. He was American and was working with the Japanese Government to try and capture mutants. He pulled off onto the side road leading to his house and noticed a car parked outside, one he didn't recognise. Raven frowned at himself in the mirror and pulled to a stop behind the hedge, just out of view. He phoned his home phone, but no one answered.

Cautiously he pulled out his gun and crept up the end of the hedge, watching closely. He got ready to make a run for the house when someone grabbed his arm, he spun around to face a Japanese kid.

"What the hell?" he said in Japanese.

The boy pulled the gun from his grasp and held him against the van with both hands, two more men emerged from the bushes and one spoke to him.

"Leo Sullivan," the one without glasses said," codenamed Raven,"

"Who are you people?" Raven asked.

"You tell me," the man said, red lightning jumping from his hands.

"You have taken Tiri Nakamora," Hiro, the one with the glasses said," tell me where she is now!"

"Oh I remember you," Raven said," the guy with the sword,"

"Keiro," Ando said," if he doesn't answer the question, break a finger,"

"You don't scare me," Raven said.

Keiro let the man down while Ando showed off his red lightning, Keiro grasped the truck door and pulled, it creaked and the hinges burst, the boy threw the door into the trees and turned to Raven, who now looked terrified.

Raven turned and bolted, he wasn't staying here to get torn apart. As soon as he got up, the boy with super strength moved like a cheetah and pounced him, jumping into the air and landing on his back, pinning him to the dirt.

"Wow," Hiro said," I thought he was just strong, I didn't know he could fly to,"

"I can't fly," Keiro said," Dad calls it super human potential, im stronger, faster and more agile than normal people, I'd rather have that electricity thing dads got but I guess any super power is better than none,"

"Crimson arc," Ando corrected.

"Im not telling you anything!" Raven protested.

"We just want a location," Ando said.

"Where is she?" Hiro said," Tiri Nakamora?"

"Go to hell!" Raven said.

"We don't have much time," Hiro said.

"I know," Raven replied with a grin," Soon she will be executed, just like the others,"

Ando searched the man's pockets and pulled out a cell phone, he searched through it but there was nothing to show that he was even an agent let alone any information that could help them.

"This is hopeless," Keiro said," can I break his arms dad?"

"Wait!" Raven said as the boy twisted his arm back hard," I'll make a deal! Pleeaasaagaggh!".

"Ok," Hiro said," we make a deal,"

"Let me call my superiors," Raven said," I'm one of their top agents, they will make an exchange for me,"

"It sounds like a trap," Ando said.

"Deal!" Hiro said.

"Huh?" Ando said, wide eyed.

Keiro let go of Raven and he began dialling into his phone.

"Hello?" Raven said," mutants at my loca-,"

Red lightning struck the side of Raven's face and the phone exploded, Raven reeled over clutching his head. Keiro grabbed the man and slammed his head against the side of the van, knocking him out.

"Keiro!" Ando said, grabbing his son," don't be so rough, we are not villains. We are the good guys,"

"Sorry," Keiro said, looking at the ground," all this power feels so….,"

"What have I told you," Ando said, looking at Hiro's face. Hiro had never quite got over losing his powers, even with that baby that had given them back, they had gone away after a time.

"We have to get out of here," Ando said.

"I have a better idea," Hiro said, hard faced," I have to get Tiri back at any cost,"

"Hiro," Ando said grasping him by both shoulders," I know, I would be the same if I lost any of my family, but don't forget who you are,"

"So what's the plan?" Keiro asked, giving the unconscious Raven a kick in the side.

"Stop that!" Ando said," Hiro? Whats the plan?"

Hiro just grinned.

…………………………………………………………………………………

It only took a few minutes to get there, from the sounds of the call, Raven had been attacked at his house by mutants. Two trucks swerved onto the drive to see a wrecked van parked off the road, five men got out of each truck and spread out, surrounding the house.

"Sniper unit are you in position?" one man asked, checking the body of raven who lay on the path.

"All clear," his radio said back," looks like whoever was here has-uughhg-,"

"Do you copy?" the man asked.

Before he could raise his gun, a red blur struck him head on, knocking him into the van, two agents turned around to get struck by red lightning and the other two opened fire. The blur moved around them, lightning emerging from it and striking both men. The other team of agents were already moving to their location, sprinting from their truck. A hail of bullets bounded into the truck as Ando and Keiro dived for cover, appearing from the red blurr.

"Wow," Ando said," using my ability to enhance yours was really a great idea of Hiros,"

Keiro grasped the bottom of the truck and tried to lift it, it raises a few inches from the ground but he dropped it again.

"What's wrong?" Ando asked.

"I'm tired," Keiro said, wiping sweat from his forehead.

"Just once more time today," Ando said," I'll just-,"

An agent rammed his gun into the side of his head and Ando fell clutching a bleeding skull, Keiro rose up and punched the man in the face, which back flipped him into another agent. Ando stood up and was about to launch lightning at them when he heard a scream behind him, he turned to see Hiro tackling another agent who was creeping up on them with a gun.

"Hiro!" Ando cried, trying to get a good shot with his lightning.

The other two agents grabbed Keiro and the one who had been knocked over by his friend aimed his gun at Ando.

Ando thought fast and shocked him, sending the man into a twitching fit as the power ran through his body.

He turned to save his son, but Keiro had taken care of both men, one lay dazed on top of the truck upside down and the other was struggling to stay afloat in the pond nearby.

Keiro tried to help Hiro, but the man he was fighting managed to aim a gun Keiro's way.

"No!" Ando cried, dragging his son aside.

BANG! A Gunshot went off and someone screamed.

Hiro couldn't concentrate on who was hurt, he was too busy fighting this man, he had both the man's wrists held but the man still had a gun. The man whacked the gun on the side of Hiro's head and he staggered back, the man raising it to Hiro's face.

Red lightning struck the man in the back and he fell onto Hiro, the red lightning running through Hiro as well. Hiro felt intense pain all over his body and fell to the ground.

"Hhhhhiiiiirrrroooooo!" a strange voice said," aaaarrreee yyyyoooouuuu ooooookkkkk?"

"Huh?" Hiro said, stranding up.

As he looked at Ando, who had blood dripping down from his shoulder from the bullet wound, he saw a man behind Ando getting up….in slow motion.

"Ando!" Hiro called, but realised what he had to do.

He drew his sword and without hesitation, drove it deep into the agent's stomach. As soon as he did everything went back to normal.

"What the-?" Ando said," Hiro! How did you-?"

"I don't know," Hiro said," I think I slowed time,"

"I thought your powers were gone," Ando said.

"So did I," Hiro replied," I think you just super charged my power,"

"Try and stop time Hiro," Ando said.

Hiro closed his eyes and focussed, he pushed with all his might and opened his eyes again.

"Anything?" Hiro asked.

"No," Ando said.

"Maybe you need to do it again dad," Keiro suggested," you know, super charge Hiro,"

"Ok," Ando said," ready?"

"Yes," Hiro said, bracing himself.

Red lightning swept all over him and Hiro focussed on stopping time, a sharp pain hit him again, all over his body, but he was so full of a mixture of excitement and determination to get his powers back that he didn't care what damage it did to himself.

A pain hit him in the head, like someone had thrown a brick at him and he fell to his knees. When no one helped him up his looked around, it wasn't perfect, but time was slowed down again, but not stopped.

Seconds later, it returned to normal speed and Ando looked disappointed.

"I guess it was just a one off," Ando said.

"No!No! I did it!" Hiro shouted," time slowed down Ando!"

"Then there's still hope," Ando said," we should check their computer for information,"

The three of them searched the trucks, there was no laptops but they found a written list of those with powers they we capturing today and they found an agent with a ID card for something called: Kregin Industries.

"What is this?" Hiro asked.

"Its that new warehouse complex in the city," Keiro said," they have some kind of labs there,"

"It's a good place to start," Ando said," Lets go,"

Hiro picked up his sword and sheathed it, he would find Tiri at any cost.

………………………………………………………………………………….

Tiri Nakamora – Weapons research Facility – Tokyo

Tiri woke suddenly; cold water had been poured over her face. The place she was in was freezing and there was a strange thing stuck up her nose, her glasses has been removed and she was tied to a chair with cable ties. She looked around at her kidnappers, but the three people standing there all wore medical masks and lab coats, a fourth man by the door was masked and clad in black armour.

"Who are you people?" Tiri asked," and what the hell is this thing in my nose?"
"It suppresses your ability," a masked doctor said, stabbing her roughly with a needle," the law prevents us from killing those that have not been confirmed to have abilities, lucky for you,"

"I don't know what you are talking about," Tiri said.

"Have you noticed anything strange?" a doctor asked her," anything happened you couldn't do before, ad special skills or abilities-,"

"Ive always been good at basketball," she said.

"We need to do more tests," the third doctor said," there's something strange here look,"

He pointed at the computer screen.

"What is that?" another masked doctor asked.

"It looks like…," the third said," like she has…..well the only thing I can say is it looks like a broken gene,"

"A what?"

"That's what we call it," the third doctor said," its when a gene for abilities fails to develop correctly, resulting in an unpredictable ability or a variation of the parent's ability,"

"So she has an ability?" another asked.

"She may," the third doctor said," but the damage to the gene may be enough to stop any ability from manifesting, we all know the law. We cant eliminate someone under the 'mutants' act without proof whether it be by blood or video footage of ability usage. She is young and may not develop a power for years, so the only option is further tests,"

"Her father was able to stop time," a doctor said," we cant risk a power like that manifesting,"

"We have no choice," the third doctor said," unless you want to kill her now and explain to the supervisor why a kid has been murdered our premises without any and I quote 'any' proof at all that she has a power,"

"But our previous research-,"

"Shows that her father once had ability," the third doctor said," but somehow it was damaged and removed, so that's why we couldn't take him in. We have to follow procedure, other countries may just kill those straight out, but we aim to protect our people if a mistake is made. Honestly I would prefer that she has no power and she can be sent home, I don't really want to have to kill a little girl,"

The doctors headed to the door and left, the guard followed them closely and Tiri let out a breath, she hadn't even realised she had been holding her breath.

The room was cold and damp and she was scarred, she didn't understand what these people wanted. She heard a bleep on the computer and it read: Administering new dosage.

The tube in her noise started vibrating and she screamed, it was obvious another dose of their drug to put her to sleep was coming. She felt an itch in her throat and she gagged, but not from the drug. She choked and coughed, as she did, something came up her throat into her mouth. She spat it onto her lap and starred at the object.

It was a small piece of paper, with something wrapped inside. She quickly reached with her hand and tried to unwrap it.

A sharp pain struck her hand and she jumped, unwrapping it carefully she found a very small blade wrapped in the paper.

"Oh my god….," she said, wondering how she had got that in her throat or who had even put it there.

She turned over the paper and saw it had something written on it.

You will understand one day, just cut the cord and think about what the future holds

Tiri didn't need telling twice, she was getting out of here. She cut the cord administering the drug, and stood up, looking around for a way to escape. She picked up a discarded lab coat and wrapped it around her cold body. She looked at the computer, but it was no help as to get out. Realising the paper was still in her hand she read it again, think about the future?

'I just want to get out of here,' she thought,' I wish I was somewhere warm, somewhere-,'

Her stomach lurched and she fell clutching it, her vision blurred and she looked around but was unable to move. Everything was moving so fast, her father appeared before her, in some apartment with Ando and a boy. The image faded and she was running, then flying.

"It's ok," a girl's voice said," I can fly, open your eyes,"

It was like she was living her life in fast forward, everything was moving so fast. The next image appeared, a bright light in the sky, burning pain and the feeling of being torn apart swept over her.

'Stop!' she screamed in her head and everything went backwards.

The explosion reversed slowly, her body was burned in reverse and she looked around in wonder. At the core of the explosion was a great fireball, it rose into the air as everything was in reverse. It was a comet, landing in the middle of the city.

"Irit!" a voice said.

She turned to see a blonde haired girl running in reverse, her face burning away. A thought occurred to Tiri, if it was in reverse the girl should be healing, not burning away.

A man appeared from the sky, wearing what appeared to be a trench coat and a hockey mask. Red light came from the girl's back and pure heat reversed through time and hit the man who appeared to be controlling it, but it simply was absorbed into his hands. Tiri felt herself falling back and everything reversed faster, She concentrated hard, she just wanted it all to stop.

Tiri opened her eyes and she was starring at her dad, sitting next to her in the car.

"DAD!" she screamed grabbing him in a great hug.

"Whoa," Hiro said," are you ok?"

"Im just glad to see you," she said.

"Well at least you waited until we got out of school before hugging me like that," Hiro said," Your school friends might make jokes,"

"Huh?"

"What do you want for dinner?" Hiro said.

"Oh my….,"

Tiri had gone reversed time in her own body to before her capture………
