Sorry for the short chapters, I was just so eager to get the story out there, this one will be about the same length as the first but will pick up right where we had left of. Enjoy!
"Great, now we need to discuss your task" A middle aged woman in a tacky yellow suit stepped forward to the table I was sitting. She placed two folders in front of me, the left one called "Redeem" and the right one called "Control".
"These are the subjects who you will be in charge of, these are the Conduits who have recently become rampant. Unlike most currupted Condiuts these people have no history of criminal acts or charges. Most Conduits who are destructive were criminals themselves before their powers surfaced." I opened the folder and saw six faces with six descriptions.
"So these people are still good?"
"Possibly, we aren't sure if they ever were in the first place, but we can't assume they are psychotic." She opened the other folder revealing ten photos and several documents. "These people are-"
"Actual super villains." Delsin cut her off "We have proof of their crimes, and they're not stopping soon. We need you to captured them alive so they can be properly restrained." I stared at the photos awestruck, these were some of the most notorious Conduits in modern times. Swarm. Pressure Point. Tidal Wave. Hunter Shadow. The list goes on for pages.
"How am I supposed to stop them by myself?" I asked cowardly
"You won't, to beat these villains you need more power. Unlike me you can't have more than one. You need to convince and redeem the rouge conduits and have them join your side. We cannot help you publicly for political reasons, I would be out there myself if I wasn't the face of peace." It still seemed ironic that this was true even though his main method was to punch the D.U.P. out of the city.
"This seems almost impossible..." I started thinking, even with my powers this is a real challenge. "Why did you choose me? There are hundreds of conduits who can do amazing things, but why am I the best for this?" I questioned thinking someone or something would be better.
"I'm glad your have your suspicions, that's what we'd hope." He chuckled making the tension disappear. "Your gift make you cautious, you can control time itself, that is the most powerful weapon a person can have. Even though your powers are fairly recent, I can tell that you are destination for greatness." His words were heavy, like each one could change the was right about recent.
Six months earlier
It was my first day of college and I was running really late, my homeroom started at 8 sharp and my watch said 7:50. I was racing through the campus trying my best not to fact-plant on the pavement. While weaving through the crowded sidewalks I looked down at my watch and saw it was still 7:50.
"Stupid thing must have run out of battery." I groaned and tapped it to make sure, I then noticed the complete silence that used to be filled with noise. I looked up, everyone was frozen, people in the everyday motions stood in place. As soon I realized what I had done the whole Earth resumed like nothing had happened. My watch interrupted my confusion with an alarm I had forgotten to turn off.
"Damn." I muttered under my breath. It was 8:01.
Again sorry for the short chapters...and sorry for saying sorry so much. I hope you enjoyed and remember if you have and comments or ideas fell free to review. I will hopefully update this story and any other stories of mine soon. As long as your here maybe you should check my other ones out (obvious self advertising is obvious.) Peace.
