Sophie, Adam and Matthew all headed into town to pick up everything that they needed. The professor gets Storm and Jean to pick up all the major shopping like food etc but he needed some small things to be picked up as well. The first thing that Sophie needed to buy was some plasters, they were running low in the school seeing as there were many young and foolish students who thought they can control their powers better than anyone else. Bandages and things were bought near enough on a day to day basis but plasters were also needed.

The three walked into the pharmacist and split up just to have a browse around, everything seemed normal until a scream cam from upstairs. The whole shop went silent everyone looked up anxiously waiting for what was to happen next; a man cam running down the stairs dressed all in black with a hood on. He held a gun in his left hand which he aimed at everyone around him.

'Nobody say anything and you all live to see tomorrow' the masked man said.

Everyone's natural reaction was to duck to the ground, well everyone's but Sophie, Adam and Matthew. Just in case something happened they didn't use their powers. Suddenly from outside there was a shout from a policeman.

'Put the gun down and nobody gets hurt'.

The masked man ran over to Sophie and put her in front of him, using her as a human shield.

'Don't shoot, put the gun down and this pretty lady doesn't get her head blown off!' The masked man shouted back. Sophie seemed to be unnaturally calm about this whole ordeal and she had a smirk on her face as he had his gun pointed to her head. Her eyes started turning bloodshot a sign to Adam and Matthew that she was about to use her power. The two boys got down onto the floor and covered their heads. A flame came from Sophie's hand and it soon spread al over her body, the masked man pushed her away as his hand caught fire and he started to burn. Adam and Matthew jumped up suddenly ready for a fight, fists poised. The masked man aimed his gun at the two and said.

'Don't go fighting with the big boys you will only end up getting hurt'.

The boys looked at each other and laughed, Adam looked back at the man and suddenly he was being lifted into the air. He aimed his gun at Adam but Matthew already had an idea, he sent a beam of ice through the air which froze the mans hand and gun, he was helpless. The policeman then came running in the shop and looked bewildered as the man had been tied up with ice and his gun melted. He looked around to see if anyone knew who had done this but everyone was facing down, they had no idea.

Outside the three friends were running from the shop all laughing their heads off.

'Did you see the look on the policeman's face' Matthew said laughing, Sophie couldn't do anything but laugh and shake her head as to reply yes.

Adam was the first to sop laughing; it was very suddenly as well. The other two looked at him still laughing but slowing down.

'What?' said Matthew

'Don't you see what has just happened? We have just stopped a man from killing anyone, and stopped him from robbing a store.' Adam replied angrily.

'Yes I know we did but the thanks is that we know everyone is safe and uninjured' Sophie said calmly. Matthew agreed with her and they all walked off back towards the school Adam the only one who wouldn't talk.
