Chapter 22: The Perfect Human
Jamie: "Now what kind of crazy ability do you have?"
Cate and Nathan draw their bats and the others ready their stances.
James: "I'm just human."
Nathan: "Say what now?"
James: "I may not have powers like the others, but..."
James readies his stance.
James: "... I'm the one with the technological expertise."
Everyone rushes towards James simultaneously.
Adam: "The brains of the group."
James makes a light cut on everyone with a single strike.
Nathan: "So that means you're easy mode."
A faint, blue light is seen from James's covered left eye.
James: "Who said that being the brains makes me easy?"
James does a backflip and adjusts his footing.
Cate: "What's up with your eye?"
James moves his hair out of the way, revealing a cybernetic left eye before returning the hair to it's original position.
James: "I was born half-blind and my eye received a little upgrade."
James switches to twin pistols as Cate draws her revolver, Adam has his knife, Nathan draws his blade, and Jamie readies a grenade.
Adam: "Did it hurt?"
James: "I've had it since birth. I couldn't feel a thing."
Jamie pulls the pin.
Jamie: "Who cares as long as we kick your ass?!"
Jamie tosses the grenade, but a bullet from James detonates it midair.
Cate: "Did you just say we?"
Jamie suddenly locks up as the others assume positions.
James: "I'm glad to finally hear it."
James cancels out any bullets coming his way with one pistol and defends against Nathan with the other as Rocky rushes towards him.
Cate: "YOU'RE glad to hear it?!"
Jamie shakes it off and readies her shotgun.
James: "Why wouldn't I?"
James jumps back and switches to a lance.
Jamie: "(pissed) Shut your damn mouth and die already!"
Jamie is a millimeter away from James's skin.
James: "Nice try."
James slams the shotgun out of the way just before she pulls the trigger.
Adam: "He can see every move we make!"
James switches to a knife.
James: "My eye allows me to read your movements and judge the percentages of your next possible move."
Rocky manages to sink his jaws into James's leg.
James: "Catch."
James does a frontflip and flings Rocky straight into Jamie.
Nathan: "Are you alright?"
Rocky is struggling to get off of Jamie.
Jamie: "(struggling) Can't get much worse!"
James walks towards Jamie.
Cate: "Jamie! Get up!"
James kneels next to Jamie.
James: "Jamie Rilliae..."
The knife vanishes as James holds out his hand.
Nathan: "What the hell?"
Jamie: "(struggling) What are you-"
James: "... it's time that you learn of the hell Lucifer put me and the others through."
The sun fades beyond the horizon.
Nathan: "What?!"
Two years ago...
Jamie and Rocky are huddled in the rubble of a fallen house, battered and bruised.
Jamie: "(crying) Why...?
Jamie holds the whimpering Rocky close.
Jamie: "(crying) WHY???!!!"
Two men in white uniforms locate the two.
Soldier 1: "A girl and a wolf?"
The soldiers reach out their hands, but Rocky begins to get defensive.
Jamie: "(crying) Please Rocky..."
Rocky begins to ease up.
Jamie: "(crying) ... I don't want to lose you too!"
Present day...
Jamie: "(tearing up) He really is hell itself..."
Adam: "Glad to hear it partner."
