I'm so so SOOOO sorry for the really late update. Been REALLY busy and had a lot to do. As an apology to my lateness, here is the next chapter.

Hope you enjoy! :)

Chapter 6: Job Offer

Back at the office, Dr. Rosen led Lucy to his office and offered her to sit in the chair at the end of his desk.

Bill and Cameron walked behind her to Dr. Rosen's office door and then went back to their offices, quietly.

Lucy took her seat and waited for Dr. Rosen to talk and ask the many questions that had to be answered. Dr. Rosen started writing on pieces of paper, not looking at Lucy. Lucy just waited patiently for the older man to say something, but the room stayed quiet.

Dr. Rosen stopped writing and looked up at the young Alpha sitting opposite him. She looks really young, probably still in school. Dr. Rosen thought to himself.

"How old are you Lucy?" he asked concerned that she might be too young.

"I'm 20 years old, why? Why does my age matter in this?" Lucy replied, a little angry and confused at the same time.

"Do you work or go to school?" he said, not giving anything away just yet.

"I just finished University today and I have been looking for a good paying job, but there's nothing for me out there yet. Why? Are… are you giving me a job offer?" she asked, raising an eyebrow at him, not looking too convinced.

"Well, yes, and no. Yes because you are clearly an Alpha and that you are of age to work here. On the other hand, no, because I don't know what your Alpha abilities are capable of and I don't want anyone on my team to get hurt." He said concerned and kept eye contact with Lucy to show that he meant it and was not joking.

"I understand what you're saying, but I wouldn't hurt anyone, unless I feel as though my life or my friend's is being threatened. I have a short temper, but I'm trying to improve it. But when I do lose it, I would hit the wall, in the end, you'll only end up with only half a wall left." Lucy said truthfully and giggled a little at that. Dr. Rosen nodded in understanding and also gave a small smile then looked back down at his papers.

"Well then, I might as well help you with that then." He said, looking back up at Lucy to see her reaction. A big smile came over her face at the news.

"I've… I've got the job?" she asked, breathless. She couldn't believe what was happening to her.

"Well, that's if you want it. I am not lying to you when I say this; it can get dangerous on this job, even when you think it's safe. You never know what could happen. But first I need to know what abilities you have and what they are capable of, before you can get the job. Ok?" he explained to the happy Alphas sitting in front of him.

"Well… I still don't know the full extent of my own abilities and what they are capable of yet. I'm still trying to get use to the new ones I've got." She said quickly and excitedly.

"What do you mean 'new ones'?" Dr. Rosen asked, picking up on what she said.

"I think one of my abilities is to take other Alphas abilities. It's what happened to Gary in high school." Lucy explained slowly this time.

Dr. Rosen saw that she was no longer looking at him, but at her hands as if in shame at a memory she held, held something about Gary.

"What happened Lucy? What happened at high school with you and Gary?" he asked, now leaning forward in his chair, wanting to hear her every word.

Lucy still looked at her hand and took in a deep breath as if to steady herself.

"We were only 15 at the time. We knew each other since we were children. We stood up for one another. Well… mostly my standing up for Gary, but he did try a few times." Lucy smiled at this memory but as soon as it came, it was gone again. "Once we moved to high school, things got out of hand. We were being bullied every day and it was always a challenge for me not to lose my temper. Whenever they were picking on Gary, I would stand up for him. Whenever they would hit him, I would take the beating so Gary never did. But… but sometimes whatever I did, it wasn't good enough and they would hurt Gary."

A tear slowly crept its way down Lucy's cheek, but she did nothing to get rid of it, or even notice it. None the less, she carried on.

"And one day, they took it too far, and I… I couldn't stop it. I hurt them. I even killed one of them without knowing what I was doing. But after that day, Gary was just afraid of me and… and he was never the same around me again after that day. It hurt him too much. I hurt him too much. So… so I wiped his memory so he wouldn't feel any more pain and hurt. It was hard to walk past him at school without feeling guilty and ashamed of what I did to him. But after what happened, they didn't bully Gary nor I after that. They left us alone. But there had to be a life taken for them to see that. I hated myself every day for what happened, and I could never put Gary through that again."

After a few minutes of absorbing what the young girl had said sank in, Dr. Rosen took a deep breath and looked at Lucy again, this time with concerned in his voice as well as on his face.

"How did it happen Lucy? What did you do to them?" he asked, not daring to look away from her, in case he misses something important. Lucy took another deep breath and explained what happened.

"One of my powers was to control the Elements. Water, Fire, Earth, Air and Life itself, they were what I could control. One of them, the boys I mean, one was drowning, one of them burning, one of them buried, one of them suffocating and the last… the last one just fell. He just stopped breathing. After they all fell unconscious, I just ran. I didn't do anything else, just... just ran. I sometimes can't control my abilities and it goes out of hand. But Gary found out. He saw what I did to them, and… and… I didn't want him to remember me like that. It was killing him knowing what I did to them, thinking I would do the same to him. I didn't know what else to do." After she finished, a few more tears fell down her soft face, but she never, not once, looked at Dr. Rosen.

"That must have been hard for you to do." Dr. Rosen asked the young girl who by now, snapped her head up to look at him, shocked at his words. "Not many Alphas, let alone, people at your age back then would have done what you did."

"W-What? Killing someone. You think I'm happy that I killed someone?" Lucy asked a little shocked and angry.

"No, no I didn't mean that. I meant giving up your best friend to save him from the pain, the memory of what happened. Not many people would have done that for him. You were probable the only true friend that Gary could have relied on back then. He's very lucky to have had you as a friend, you know that?" Dr. Rosen said and Lucy's expression turned back to neutral, if not, a little smile tugging at the corner of her lips.

"What other abilities do you have Lucy?" Dr. Rosen asked, putting them back on track of what they had come here to do.

"Well, um… I have that 'Hyperkinetic' thing you said I had, also I can make people do thing I want them to, but only small thing and also wipe their memories, like what I did with Gary. Um… I can do extremely complex mathematics and also understand 6 different languages without learning them. I can teleport, and I can also see signals of frequencies and sound waves of any electrical device. But I think one other ability I have is to take other Alpha abilities, somehow. That's what happened with Gary. I took the signal ability from him." Lucy said, and looked at Dr, Rosen to see his expression, which was hidden well on his behalf.

"That's a lot more than I expected. I think I can help you with most, if not; all of those abilities, but it will take time. Now, do you have any problems with anything? I know you have a high temper, but what else do you have?" Dr. Rosen asked, his pen hovering over his paper, ready to write down anything she said.

"I have trust issues. Always have. I also cannot stand people lying to me. I also have OCD but not to extreme, thank God, but at times it does get even on my nerves." Lucy smiled a little at that and looked up at Dr. Rosen again, waiting to see what he had to say.

"Well, if that's all, when do you think you can start?" Dr. Rosen asked, but kept his face normal, not showing his happiness too much.

"I can start whenever you want. But… can I ask you a question first?" Lucy asked, looking a little scared at first, as if a child asking its teacher a question for the first time.

"Yes, you may." Dr. Rosen replied leaning back in his chair, putting his hands together as if very interested in what she had to ask.

"Those men, back in the alley, who were they? Why were they after me?" she asked, her voice shaking a little, but not that noticeable, but to Dr. Rosen, it was.

He inhaled a deep breath slowly and he exhaled his breath just as slow, trying to think of what to say. "I don't know, Lucy. I honestly don't know who they were or what they wanted with you. If I knew, I would tell you." Dr. Rosen replied truthfully.

Lucy nodded and got up from her seat and went to the door. But before she left the room, she turned back around to face the older man watching her every move from behind his glasses, and nodded at him in a way as if to say 'thank you'. This was confirmed when she said "Thank you" to him, almost a whisper, and turned back around and left the room.

Dr. Rosen looked back down at his papers and he let a small smile creep onto his face and continued writing, his thought now occupied with his work, as well as the young Alpha.
