Well here's the next chap…. It's in multiple POV'S so I hope you don't mind. Thank-you to my beta: Angelica Myst!

Chapter 5

He got to me faster than I expected. He attempted to punch my stomach but I blocked the blow easily, he continued to deliver the blows until all I was able to do was block. Until he caught me off guard and grabbed my neck, easily picking me up the slamming me down into the asphalt, if it hadn't been for a basic mutant ability, being more durable than a human, I probably would've cracked my skull. He continued to choke me until my vision started to get blurry; my punching against his arm seemed to be useless but no way in hell was I giving up that easily.

I held out my hand and heated it up until (I think) it was bright red. Gripping his wrist tightly my hand burned straight through the fabric and I could faintly hear the sizzle of skin. He loosened his grip slightly, which confused me, but I still managed to take advantage of. I punched him as hard as I could across the face with that hand that was just burning his skin off and he stumbled back a few feet; which only added to my confusion.

"You're going to have to try harder than that," He taunted.

"Who the hell are you?" I asked; after picking myself up off the ground, my vision still a little blurry.

He laughed before answering, "Don't you get it? I am you, well not exactly. I'm stronger, faster, and have a few more tricks up my sleeve then you, but in short we are the same person." To emphasize his point he held up the wrist that I burned, instead of being the bright red, peeling skin that I was expecting it was the same smooth white just like the rest of his body. I guess he saw the confusion in my face because his annoying, condescending voice appeared in my head.

We are the same… almost. The only difference is that I. Am. Better.

I glared before running towards him, ready to fight and it only enraged me further when he started laughing again. In the last second I dived down and side-swiped his legs, sending him to the ground. I whipped around quickly to see him catch himself at the last second and the flip around, kicking me across the face, sending me flying only to land on my back. Hard. I slightly lifted up my throbbing head and the last thing I saw before blackness was a metal shell encasing his hand then coming towards my head.

-Jason's POV-

I didn't pay much attention to Selena. She can handle herself and at the moment I had to worry about myself, apparently the dude's friends are mutants. I turned to the first of the two and he disappeared from my sight. Great, he's invisible. I stole one glance to the rest of my teammates and saw that they had their hands full with the multiplying man.

Going over a plan quickly in my head I surrounded myself in a transparent red shield.

Just like I expected I felt a banging on the left side of me, immediately releasing the shield I felt the palms of my hands get hot before sending a concentrated beam of red energy to where I hoped the idiot was standing. Unfortunately and fortunately for me the guy caught on to what I was doing and dived out of the way; also losing his concentration so he was now visible.

I quickly took advantage of guy's visible-state and grabbed him easily by the collar of his shirt and sent him flying back onto the ground, head first. If he wasn't dead he was at least unconscious for a few hours. I turned too looked back at how the rest of the team was doing. Simon was sniping out assorted multiples, looking for the original, while Leo was in his wrecking ball form mowing them down like bowling pins and Bridget was holding her own pretty well against two multiples in hand-to-hand combat. I ran over and started shooting them down by Bridget in case she needed help because it looked like her power couldn't be used to defend herself.

My hands were a blur, moving so fast that all I saw was the flash of red light and only felt the familiar warmth radiating off of them, probably painful if anyone was to touch them. It happened so fast that I wasn't sure if it was my power or Simon's sniper that finally killed off the original copy but either way we were all happy. I was the first to turn back to look for Selena, who was probably leaning against the jeep or fixing the tires. Instead I'm met with the horrifying sight of the unnamed mutant picking an unconscious (I can only hope) Selena and walking toward the hovering drone.

"SELENA!" I yelled and began running. When I got a little closer I skidded to a stop and pushed my hands out, sending a bright beam of red energy towards the guy. He seemed to sense the oncoming attack because he spun around, dropping Selena in the process, and held out his hands; creating a barrier that I was guessing was telekinetic. I poured more energy into my power and could feel my adrenalin rush slowly dissipating. My attempt to over-power the mutant seemed feeble as he stood there holding the barrier without breaking a sweat.

"S-Simon, Leo a l-little help," I choked out. I could see from the corner of my eye that they were making a plan but I returned my focus to the task at hand. Pouring even more energy and power into the attack I started to feel my hands become unusually hot. Black spots started to come into my vision and I prayed to someone that Leo and Simon would get on with their plan. Sure enough I heard Simon's sniper go off multiple times and his bullets came into view about a second later. The unnamed mutant quickly moved one of his hands; still holding the barrier with one hand he stopped the bullets in midair and held them in place. Leo came running out from behind screaming at the same time Bridget came from the left, also screaming. The mutant lost his concentration from a split second and the barrier disappeared for just as long. But it was enough.

The beam of energy forced itself through the small window of opportunity and forcefully hit him directly on the chest. He went flying backwards a good twenty feet before landing on the ground, knocking him out. Knowing he was taken care of I immediately released my power and ran over to were Selena was laying, ignoring the burning of my smoking hands. Scooping her up into my arms with Simon's help I figured out how to get us all into the drone.

"Bridget, Leo while we are starting this up can you go get all of our stuff out of the jeep?" Simon asked; I mentally thanked him, not that it mattered, because I was too tired to talk.

The inside of a drone looked different than I expected. It was clean and nice; almost pleasant looking. Ignoring the chairs I sat down with against the wall, cradling Selena in my lap. I held her head carefully and felt something sticky and warm covering my hand. Looking down I saw that my hand was covered in Selena's blood and it now began dripping onto my pants and the floor.

"S-Simon hurry! W-we have to g-get to a h-hospital!" My voice cracked as I yelled this.

"I'm on it!" He yelled back, I was glad he didn't argue about the hospital.

I refused to let tears fall as I whispered to myself, "You have to be okay. You will be okay."

Yes I know another evil place to end it but it just seemed like the perfect ending to my 5th chapter.

So I would like 30 reviews by the time I post the next chapter. Also I want to know which POV you want me to do next because from now on almost all that chaps will be in multiple POV's.

Thanks for reading!
