"So when are we going to bury her?" one of the medics asked.
"General arranged for one tomorrow." the second medic answered.
They were at the morgue at the military base looking at one of the doors. It read, "Wave".
"What's so special about the bird?" the first medic asked.
"She was one of the Freedom Fighters."
"I see. Well, I'm going to bed. Don't go to bed too late. We are in the military after all."
"Right. See you in the morning."
One of the medics left the morgue, leaving the other one all by himself. He walked away from the corpse compartments and sat down in a chair. He pulled out a magazine and started reading.
"Wow." he said. "That is a nice car."
Then heard a noise coming from the back. Where the corpse compartments are. He got up from his chair and went back to investigate. The door marked "Wave" was open.
"What the-" he said. He pulled out his gun. He heard another noise and turned around. He slightly lowered the gun. "Who's there?" Then a figure stepped out from the shadows. "You?" the medic asked. "But... you're dead."
"Oh, I'm not dead." Wave said, approaching him. "At least... not yet."
The medic lowered his gun. "The Freedom Fighters are going to love to hear-" He stopped when Wave stepped into the light. Her skin was still gray but now her veins were dark red and visible through her skin. "What happened to you?"
"I don't know." Wave said. She stopped when she was right in front of the medic. Then the medic's mouth fell open and a trail of blood dripped out onto the floor. "But I like it." The medic fell to the floor.
Wave looked down at him. She then turned to leave, dropping the blood-stained scalpel she was holding, and walked out of the morgue.
"And we're here." Jason said, stopping the van and putting it in park.
The team piled out of the van and were greeted by Officer Burke.
"Glad you're here." he said.
"What can we do?" Jason asked.
"Go in there. Save the hostages. And stop the robbers."
"Well, okay." Jason said. "Give me the bullhorn."
Officer Burke handed him the bullhorn and Jason approached the line of Police cars outside the bank.
"Attention! All you people inside that are not tied up and/or holding a gun, I suggest you leave the bank immediately with your hands up!"
Right when he finished, a shot from the bank blew the bullhorn to pieces. Jason dropped what was left of the bullhorn and spit the bullet from his mouth.
"Now I'm mad." Jason said. He turned to his team. "All right, guys. Here's the plan."
The shooter brought his gun back inside.
"Who was that?" one of the robbers asked.
"Some kid." the shooter said.
"A kid? What's he doing?"
The shooter looked back out the window. "He's approaching the bank!"
"Let's get him!" the third robber asked.
"What's he think he's doing?" the second robber asked.
The shooter walked to the bank's front door and opened it slightly.
"Hey, kid! Take one more step and I'll blow your brains out!"
Jason stopped halfway between the line of cop cars and the bank's entrance.
"You know, you talk tough!" Jason yelled. "But I bet that deep down you're a coward!"
"What did you say?" the shooter yelled.
"Only a true man wouldn't be afraid to fight me face-to-face."
"Why would I want to do that?" the shooter yelled. "I could just shoot you instead!"
The robbers inside were keeping an eye on the hostages. Jason was about ready to set the plan in motion. He moved towards the bank and the shooter started firing his machine-gun. The noise drowned out the sound of the windows breaking. Blaze and Silver jumped through and knocked the robbers unconscious. Jason caught all the bullets with psychokinesis.
"This kid's a freak!" the shooter yelled.
Jason dropped all the bullets but two and fired them at the shooter's gun, knocking it out of his hand. He tried reaching for it but Blaze stepped on it.
"I don't think so." she said.
The cops stormed the bank and arrested the three robbers and freed the hostages.
"Nice work, guys." Officer Burke said as Jason, Blaze, and Silver went back to the line of cop cars.
"Anything we can do to help." Blaze said.
They piled back into the van.
"Well, that was fun." Jason said, starting the van up.
"What's wrong?" Blaze asked.
"I just miss all the action. You know? An enemy who can actually fight back. This small-time stuff is boring."
"This was our first one." Blaze said. "It'll take some getting used to."
"You're probably right." Jason said.
He put the van in drive and headed back home.
