Chapter Six

(Hello and thank you for reading. I am just letting you know that this chapter is 10 YEARS LATER. Robert Nightingale is now 27 years of age. Nicole, Cerebral, is the leader of the team and can now control minds from a distance. Robert Nightingale has also gained control over his powers, to an extent. The team consists of Cerebral, Nightingale, Airy, True Sight, and Abra. I would also like to tell you now that Robert is about to get a totally new power and must rely on his rival for help. Hope you enjoy.)

"Hey! Hey! Wake up! It's coming! Get up!" I heard a faint voice in my head.

My body moved of its own accord. I felt my arms and legs push me off of the wet ground. Water? No, blood.

"Hey! Are you okay?" the voice came again.

"Eh. Did someone get the license plate of the foot the kicked me?" I joked.

Laughing in my head. I forgot Cerebral connected the team mentally. True Sight had a bad sense of humor.

"The Sentinel is on the move again. It has started heading for the bridge. Get your asses moving or it will reach the city." Abra screamed in my head.

"Cerebral, how bad off is the team? Do we have to use the hidden power?" I spoke to Nicole in our secret "chatroom".

"Bad. The only people not hurt majorly are me and the bitch." Nicole hissed in my head.

"So True Sight, Airy, and me are the only ones in bad condition?" I said as I felt the control of my body return to me.

"Airy is sort of MIA. The Sentinel hit her out of the sky and she landed in the river. The school has sent out Dragoon to rescue her." Nicole said both in my head and out loud as she moved towards me.

Dragoon, Ryan Dragoon, was a machine created by Magneto, but a spy for the X-men was programming him and gave him emotions, free will, and no knowledge of being a machine. All he knew was that he did not have to breathe and could take a lot of damage without being stopped. Dragoon was now infatuated with Airy, but knew that she did not like him.

"At least someone can get to her." I said hoarsely.

"Don't move." Nicole said as she ripped open my shirt and probed for broken ribs.

I felt the searing pain run through my body as her hands came in contact with my skin. I yelped a little.

"Thanks. Which way the Sentinel go?" I asked as I felt all the pain leave my body.

"That way." Nicole pointed then sprinted off.

I got to my feet. Then a memory flashed before my eyes.

"Archangel has shown up. Airy is in trouble. Someone has to help her." True Sight said in my head.

"Archangel? Who is that? So mutant like Airy?" I asked.

"More like the evil side of her father. He is dangerous and has to be stopped." Abra smiled at me.

I looked up in the direction that Airy had flown. I was worried that we might lose a team member. I concentrated on my body and the thought of flight. If I could make weapons then I should be able to fly.

I felt the familiar tingling that meant that my weapons were created. I ran towards the biggest boulder I could find and leapt off of it.

My body shot straight up in the air towards Archangel and Airy.

"What the heck is happening?" Airy yelled in my head.

I stopped in between Airy and Archangel.

"Airy take care of the Sentinel. I will hold off Archangel. Go!" I yelled at her and she went.

I turned back to Archangel just in time for his feet to hit my stomach. I went flying back into Airy's back and felt her wings snap. We both started falling. I was out of the Sentinels reach, but Airy was not lucky. She was falling and the Sentinel slapped her out of the sky. She vanished into the river.

I was not completely lucky. The Sentinel punted me out of the sky and I crashed into a building. After that I woke up.

Just then I snapped out of the flashback and say True Sight limping up to me.

"Get your head out of the clouds and get into the fight." He yelled at me.

I ran towards the bridge and towards the Sentinel.
