Battle Of Liberty
Sitting there for a couple of minutes contemplating about what had happened the entire day, waking up after eight months, realising I have powers and standing right in the same building as my inspiration. A lot to take in.
My head hit the pillow as I was thinking back to everything, how I saw lightning surge through my hand, as if I was electrical.
I fell asleep shortly after that, not being able to keep my eyes open for any longer.
"There is twenty seconds left on the clock, who is going to make the move?" The commentator spoke making the crowd evolve from their loud cheers to a small silence.
"One break and it's all over, Winchester."
I swallowed glimpsing at the clock, before realising, I had one option, 'the double covalent', silly name but awesome trick. My bright green eyes recharged, as I kicked the ball behind me, turning and dribbling alongside the ball skilfully, hearing the cheers strike up again.
My feet were shuffling as the ball was being turned and dribbled with my feet, never being kicked, as I was seeing the clearing, approaching, by me.
Fearing that I'd lose the ball, I kicked it to another player, as I headed towards the goal, whereas they were continuously dribbling it, before passing it to another player, who was making their way towards me. Booting the ball, I caught it with my torso bouncing it back onto the floor, as I started dribbling all the way to the goal, being pushed to the side, as I gathered the strength to not fall, but straight up shoot it as the person fell on top of me. The ball was all in slow motion in the air, as both teams were staring at the ball floating in the air.
"Emma? Emma?" I shot upright seeing Dr Fields standing there, her face transformed into one of curiosity.
"Are you alright?" Freddy asked me as I glanced up at him and nodded my head.
"Why don't you freshen up, Winchester." Dr Flynn spoke as I nodded my head kicking my legs off from the bed and getting off the bed.
Walking towards the open door, as I was going along the hallway of concrete polished wall, seeing a restroom, I entered the bathroom and headed to the sink.
Pulling the faucet, I cupped my hands out in front of me and collected the liquid in my hand before splashing it onto my face waking me up. I dried my face and hands before heading back to the cortex where everyone was.
"Ah, there you are. Winchester, meet Chuck and Isabella." Dr Flynn introduced two people who were standing and talking to Dr Flynn. Freddy had his face contorted into a sneer.
Isabella had long silky brown hair pulled into a high pony tail, with chartreuse eyes. She had a frame of 5,7 and had glasses on making the green shade, stand out slightly. She was wearing a tank top, black jeans and a leather jacket with combat boots.
Chuck on the other hand had dusty blonde hair and forest green eyes, he was standing at a frame of 6ft and was wearing a full black varsity jacket, a white t-shirt and black jeans, paired with black converses.
I stuck my hand out as Isabella shook my hand, nodding her head, as Chuck shook my hand next with a small smile. I looked up at Dr Flynn as he was talking with a frustrated Freddy. Dr Fields was nowhere to be seen.
"Winchester, these are two of the best scientists in Elm City and are here to also analyse you and your potential skill." I glanced up at him as he nodded his head.
"They are two of the most trustworthy people that I have known. Aren't I correct, Freddy?" Dr Flynn asked.
"Dunno." Freddy shrugged as he was looking through something on the tablet.
"Dr Bray has told us that you've got skill, kid. Prove it." I heard Isabella speak as she held no emotion whatsoever in her face.
Dr Bray was staring at me as Freddy did too.
"She hasn't even been tested yet." Freddy answered.
"Shame, I thought you would've done better, Freddy." Isabella answered as I saw Freddy narrow his eyes at the girl who was acting as if nothing had happened here.
"Freddy what was your idea?"
"My idea was to allow Emma run on the supersonic treadmill allowing her awesome speed to reveal." Freddy explained straight as I saw Dr Flynn nod his head. Isabella didn't seem to be bothered as Chuck nodded his head.
I was currently in an ASTRAD Labs sweatshirt, my converses and jogger pants. My hair was pulled up into a pony tail as I stood on the treadmill, staring behind me before turning my head back to the front.
"Alright, Emma, just run."
"You sure, this can hold her speed?" Dr Fields asked.
"I'm pretty sure my baby can handle whatever is about to come."
"Don't jump to conclusions, Risk." Isabella sat.
"Run, why don't you?" She spoke rough the microphone, as I breathed out slowly, switching on the treadmill. I started jogging, before running as I could hear the Doctors and the Scientists figure out what was happening and calculating it.
"She's pretty fast." I heard Chuck say,
"Not fast enough." Isabella responded in a low almost mutter like tone.
"Blondie, run faster." I heard her call through the microphone, as I started running faster, but felt my entire body collapse.
Earning myself to crash onto the wall as my body fell to the floor. I held onto my arm as I felt pain shoot up, near my side.
"Emma, are you okay?" Freddy inquired.
"You're not hurt, are you?" Dr Fields asked.
I shook my head in response as, Chuck extended his hand out to me, I held onto his as he pulled me up. Focussing my attention on Dr Fields as she spoke.
"Do you feel any pain whatsoever?" I lifted my hand up slowly feeling no pain. I shook my head slowly realising that there was no longer a pain.
"I think the speed is actually rejuvenating your cells and bones to heal quicker rather than how a human beings should be."
"So what you're saying is that-."
"-she possesses this power." Isabella finished off Freddy's sentence making him shake his head.
"Exactly." Dr Fields answered.
I felt my phone buzz and saw the caller ID,
Gary
I unlocked the call and placed the phone to my ear as Gary started speaking,
"Winchester, don't worry, I'm not calling about work. Just wondering how you were doing?" I heard Gary's voice surrounded in the background of shuffling of feet and chattering.
"I'm not too bad. Just at the doctors." I answered smoothly as I slightly furrowed an eyebrow with the other lifted.
"Alright, I'll let you go, take care."
"You too." I ended the call as I placed the phone into my pocket again.
"Boyfriend, eh?" Isabella spoke walking off.
"Work Friend." I admitted as she rolled her eyes,
"Heard that before."
A few seconds of silence fell upon as both doctors were talking about something, Freddy was typing something on the computer as Isabella was staring at files. Chuck was looking through books as I was staring at the blank clear board.
"Could I use this?" I asked as I saw Dr Flynn nod his head in response.
I reached for the pen, which was usually, supposed to be near the pen holder, I looked near the table before my eyes fell upon the top of the blank board to see a white pen clearly waiting. I tip-toed to reach the pen, so I reached my hand out, not being able to reach it.
I jumped slightly as I grabbed the white pen, in my grasp, I heard the falling of books and the sound of gasps. I turned around to see Chuck, Freddy and Isabella staring at me. Looks like Dr Fields and Dr Flynn were both interrupted by the noise because they all stared up at me.
"You're...hovering..." Freddy pointed out very slowly.
I looked down before looking up before looking down, it was true, I was at least two feet in the air. My eyes made their way to Dr Flynn as he was quite surprised by this as well.
"Wait how'd you hover in the first place?" Freddy asked.
"I was grabbing the pen and then this happened." I answered truthfully.
"Lightning didn't only affect you to run fast but to also hover." Chuck looked up at me.
"How do I get down?" I asked calmly.
"Emma!" I looked to the side to see my dad as I felt my body drop to the floor, only to be caught by a pair of arms. Chuck's.
He let go of me as I saw my dad staring quite shocked at the sight. He blinked a few times before speaking,
"Did I just see what I hope I didn't see?"
"What'd you see?" Freddy started.
"There's nothing to see." Dr Fields answered.
"Probably." Isabella shrugged, as all three had stated simultaneously.
"You were flying in the air." My dad started.
I shook my head in response as I saw him breath out and speak again.
"I was just here to check up on you, but seems like your fine." My dad spoke walking out as I saw everyone keep a small silence.
"He'll forget about it." Isabella spoke monotonously.
"He's a cop." I spoke in my soft tone.
"Your point?"
"Cops investigate, that's his job." I calmly finished,
"I guess when you're afraid or least expecting it, your hovering stops." Dr Flynn answered thoughtfully.
"That's probably why she fell into Prince Charming's arms." Freddy answered as Chuck furrowed his brows slightly.
I felt my phone ring as I stared at the caller ID. I unlocked the phone to my ear and spoke.
"Yes, sir?"
"Emma, how are you feeling?"
"I'm well, sir. Thank you for asking. How are you?" I asked Captain Rifer.
"I'm good, thank you. I just wanted to call in saying that if you do need anything don't hesitate to call, but was wondering what you wrote on the files." I nodded my head slowly hearing my boss speak.
"The case of Roberts and the Paul's. I was wondering, are you sure they're living in Open City?"
"I've checked their files, sir. That was the last place they had situated to."
"But when I was going through a few things, it doesn't show up with Joseph Walter, Paul G. Wright. In fact it shows that they left the city at least two months ago."
I narrowed my eyes slightly taking in the news as I started walking, but heard Captain Rifer speak.
"Don't worry, kiddo, I'll get Hall to dig up evidence. You rest." Captain Rifer firmly stated.
"Okay, sir." I hung the call as I was thinking back to the cases when someone was calling my name.
"Emma, what happened?"
"Oh, er, work called."
"Surprise you work." I heard Isabella say folding her arms.
"You look like a little child."
"Ignore her." Chuck shook his head.
"Heard that."
"Were supposed too." He admitted as she rolled her eyes,
"Next tests?" I tried.
"Right away." Isabella answered.
