Hey there, thank you so much for your reviews and support, please keep them coming. I am happy you like this story :)

Some of you are asking me to make longer chapters, the thing is I write because I feel free doing so and I don't like forcing myself to reach an X amount of words per chapter. I just write what feels right and I try to make the best I can with it. So I'm sorry, that's how it is! Some chapters will be shorter and some will be longer :)

Enjoy!

No police sirens, no police cars, but there was a security mission going on. Two black vans and three black cars for support were racing up the highway in National City, transporting special agents and their weapons. Turning left into a residence neighborhood, the vehicles parked on the side of the street and the agents stepped out of them. Jonn, the commander, gestured for a group to follow him. Agent Danvers gestured to be followed by the other group.

Jonn's group found their positions surrounding the sports club main building and fields, while Alex's group went inside. Even though the sun was shining in the afternoon, inside the building was pretty dark because the windows were closed. One of the agents tried the light switch but it gave her a discharge. The woman didn't react to her partner's calls so Alex told him to take the hurt agent outside and procure medical assistance. With a concerned expression, Agent Danvers gestured for the rest of the group to go on. They were all carrying special D.E.O. guns with light, aiming around every corner, expecting to find what they were looking for before being found by it.

A short communication via radio with Jonn informed Alex that his group was now approaching the baseball court. Alex let him know she had it covered in the building for now, but they should be ready to help if the creature escaped towards the sport fields.

She realized they should have brought more agents to cover the mission when she saw how huge the sports club actually was. The signs in front of her informed there was different halls for indoor sports such as Basketball and Volleyball, Squash and also a Swimming pool. Alex sent 2 agents to each and tried to call Jonn for backup but the electronic artifacts werent' responding. They only made some electric noise. Alex thought that wasn't a good sign at all and connected those problems with the lights problem... she could imagine what was going on. Despite knowing they were in a disadvantage she decided to go on with the plan and hope for Jonn to come help when he realized their communication was off.

Agent Danvers and Agent Rogers walked together in the swimming pool area a minute later. The water had a strange green bright and as there was something floating in the middle.

"Don't move!" Rogers commanded while aiming towards the creature with his weapon.

But it moved. Its skin was yellow and it looked like there was some transparent think liquid glowing over it. It had no hair or clothes, the body, arms and legs seemed to adopt many forms like jelly. Its face had two big rounded eyes in purple color, almost no black or white in them. It didn't have a nose, not a visible one at least, and its mouth was rounded, showing many pointy teeth.

"Meigordian" Alex whispered. She had lowered her gun to observe better and was slowly stepping away from her partner, who now had the creature's full attention.

The Meigordian was looking at Rogers with disdain, showing its teeth. It started to swim towards him. The water in the swimming pool was glowing more with the movement and Alex realized it was electrified.

"I said don't move, bitch!" Rogers said walking towards the alien.

"Rogers watch out!" Alex yelled, but it was too late. Agent Rogers fired his gun and it made the Meigordian very angry. The shot trespasses him without injury and Alex doesn't have time to move. Her right thigh gets the impact.

Alex revealed her position with her scream so the alien changed the target. She fell on her side next to the swimming pool, too close to the water and couldn't move. She managed to shot the Meigordian several times but of course every bullet ended up in the water without hurting it. The creature kept swimming in her direction until it reached the border and walked out. In that moment Rogers tackled the Meigordian to the floor before it could touch Alex. They practically flew over her. Rogers received an electrical discharge but it seemed the Meigodian hit its head on the floor and was fighting to recover full conciousness.

Agent Danvers then felt someone dragging her backwards from the shoulders. She still had her weapon secured in her hand but was starting to think there was no way to reduce that monster. She was hidden around a corner, inside the dressing room.

"Are you ok, Danvers?" A brunette whispered kneeling in front of her.

"Maggie? What are you-"

"I followed you, it's... it's hard to explain. Let me treat your leg first." Maggie answered avoiding eye contact with Alex, who didn't have another choice.

They heard the swimming pool doors slam open and Jonn's voice commanding the other agents to capture the alien. Alex sighed in relief. She could now focus on the other matter, so she observed Maggie bandaging her leg in a first aid process, and insisted, "Maggie, why did you follow me? Did you know where I was going? Did you follow me from the... Where did you follow me from?"

Maggie noticed Alex was angry, starting to doubt every single 'casualty' from the moment they met until that very moment. She knew it was time to tell the truth, she also knew maybe this was the end of whatever relationship they had and the feelings they were developing...
