Scott's P.O.V.
I lost it all. My job, my happiness, my life. Even my family. My husband and daughter have been killed and I don't even know where to find my son. Damnit, why is life so cruel?
The pain hurts even more the further I think of our memories together.
When I asked Mitch to be my boyfriend. When I asked him to prom. When I proposed. When we made love for the first time on our honeymoon. The new apartment. The making of our children. The new house. Their first words. Their first step. Their first hug. Their first friend. The rubber ducks Violet seemed to throw out of no where. I even miss that bad times.
I miss when Violet got stung by a bee. I miss when Ken got rub burn. I miss when Wyatt got scratched. I miss when Mitch tripped and fell at the house warming party. I miss it all.
"Why? Why did you take away my light?" I chocked as tears started to well up in my eyes. I refused to let them fall. So I stood up and started walking down the street.
Seattle was full of crime. Drug trades, murder, rape. All of it. This place also had many mutants in hiding. Of course the population was mainly human but there still were a few mutants here and there.
The rain was deafening. Each time the water collided with the pavement it sounded like an explosion.
I had to keep my eyes forward and avoid eye contact with everyone in fear I may be killed or mugged.
I looked up and notice and surging pink streak of light. It seemed to be movi-wait. It is moving. And fast too.
I jumped to the side just in time for the beam to surge past me. It was followed by pair of weird, glitchy wings, and a puff of smoke.
"Mutants." I whispered as I gathered myself and continued to walk.
I kept walking until I saw a figure lying down in the ally way. I trotted for it to get a closer look and found a woman. She had no clothing on but her body wasn't defined. She didn't seemed to have any private parts, just the shapes that show what they were meant to be.
She had blue skin and bright red hair. Suddenly, her skin crawled, literally, and clothing and skin formed itself where the wave of feather like skin passed. It seemed as thought her skin was millions of tiny feathers that turned over to reveal something else.
Suddenly, the woman had pale white skin and brown locks. She opened her eyes to reveal an emerald green and looked up at me. I was looking down on her with worry.
"It's not what it looks li-" she was cut off when I put up my hand.
"No need for explanation. Why were you passed out on the pavement? Haven't you a home?" I asked as I sat down beside her. She simply shook her head as she looked at me.
I opened my mouth to say something else but the streak of light, the glitchy wings, and the puff of smoke suddenly stopped in front of them.
The light grew faint and then completely disappeared to reveal and girl with neon pink hair. The glitchy wings turned into a glitchy body and then it became clearer until it was a boy with thick glasses standing before him. And lastly, the puff of smoke collapsed into itself and a taller boy with a beanie and a thick chain wrapped around his wrist appeared.
"What should we do with them?" The smaller boy asked. The girl furrowed her eyebrows as she looked down at us.
"I say we kill 'em." The larger boy said as red smoke started to circulate and flow from his fingers.
"No, wait!" The newly transformed girl screamed, but it was too late.
The boy blasted a wave of smoke at us and I acted fast.
I used reverse magnetism to send out a protective way of electromagnetic waves. This shielded us from both the rain and the deadly blasts of smoke.
The girl looked at me in awe as I held the shield.
Soon after the deadly smoke was fired, a strong ray of neon light and trillions of sharp pixels shot at the field, making it harder for me to hold it but I still kept a firm grasp of it.
The smoke, light, and pixels soon stopped as the three stood there, annoyed.
"Another conduit." The girl sighed.
"Fetch, we can't just go assuming things." The taller boy said as he wrapped and arm around the girl, fetch's, neck.
"Fuck off, Delsin." The girl said in a New Jersey accent.
"I am so sorry." The smaller boy said as he rushed to help us up.
I looked down on all of them. The taller boy had to be about 5'11 but I still looked down on him rather hard.
"Eugene! Get your tiny ass back over here!" The taller guy, Delsin, shouted.
"Fuck off, Delsin!" Eugene shouted back.
"Eugene!" Delsin tried again.
"I said," His eyes turned into bright blue square pixels as he looked back at Delsin ", Fuck! Off!" He shouted in a voice that now sounded like that of an angry god.
"Okay, geez. Angry Angel!" Delsin held his hands up in defense as he took a step back.
Eugene sighed loudly and turned back to me and the mystery lady.
"I'm sorry for my friend. He can be sometimes be a dick, but he means well."
I shook my head and chuckled lightly.
"Why don't we all just talk." Fetch said as she slowly approached us.
"I'd rather blow shit u-" Delsin was interrupted by a bright pink blast that sent him flying into a wall. I turned my head to see Fetch with her hand up in his direction.
"Shut up, Delsin."
-------
"Well, my name is Scott. I can manipulate metal and magnetism. Uh, I had a husband and two kids but... My daughter and my husband both were killed and I haven't been able to find my son." I introduced as I started off the talking. The pain from mentioning the tragedy wasn't as potent as before but still stung a lot in my heart.
"I'm so sorry." The mystery lady comforted as she set a hand on my shoulder.
"It's fine."
"Well, I'm Abigail, but my friends and enemies call me Fetch. I can control and manipulate Neon and I... Uh... I killed my brother." Fetch admitted as she twittled her thumbs.
"How?" I furrowed my eyebrows as I looked at her questioningly.
"I... I was injected with a synthetic drug by some jackass I was angry with at the time. I was seeing things while I was looking for the asshole and I saw something at the end of a hallway. I thought it was the guy who injected me. So when I reached him, I used every ounce of power I had to pierce his heart. The light from the blast destroyed the visuals of the drug and I realized I killed the person I loved the most." A single tear shed from Fetch's green eyes as she came back from her flash back.
I wonder if they all have sad stories?
"Well, my name is Delsin. I control Concrete, Smoke, Neon, and Video Pixels. And I watched my brother plummet to his death. This red headed bitch named Augustine immobilized his feet and I tried to save him but, he let go of my hand and fell into the dark waters of the Bay." Delsin locked his jaw and fiddled with the chain wrapped around his wrist.
"My name is Eugene. I control Video pixelation and waves lengths. I have crippling depression and I haven't seen my family in 8 years."
"I guess that's my que. My name is Esther. I can shape shift and I haven't really had any horrible experiences in my life like the ones you all have."
"I know we've only known each other about an hour but, y'all seem super cool." Delsin said as he stood and stretched.
"Says the asshole who wanted to kill them." Eugene spat at Delsin who simply replied by wrapping his arms around his waist from behind and rested his chin on Eugenes neck.
"I'm thirsty." Fetch said before she turned into a beam of swift light and came back 5 seconds later with a smoothly she got from across town.
"I can do that too." Delsin pouted before he turned into a slightly less swift beam of light and came back about 10 seconds later with a hamburger.
"So I guess we're some kind of pose now?" I chuckled as I stood and stretched.
"Meh. We'd make a cool team."
"Yeah! The rag tag group of sad misfits that just so happens to have powers." Fetch giggled as she stood up.
"Well," Delsin stood and popped his knuckles.", I guess we're taking y'all in. We should go to the penthouse."
I was not completely sure about this whole hasty decision but I had nothing to lose. Literally.
We all jump from the top of the building together.
Delsin's body turned completely black as mixtures of red and brown steamed from his now ash like body. He surged forward and was drifting through the air at a moderate pace.
Tiny beams of light quickly circled around Fetch's whole body before they expanded and closed quickly after to wrap around her body. Her body turned into a glowing neon orange silhouette and she darted toward the ground, leaving a strong and vibrant neon pink light trail behind her that follow behind her about 10 feet or so.
Eugene's body started shifting and shaking and then his body turned into trillions of blue pixels as wings sprouted. With one flap, he was easily catching up to Delsin.
Seems like they enjoy being flashy
I looked at a frightened Esther and quickly grabbed her before using my power to create a field around us to make me levitate with her in my arms. I leaned forward and soon was next to Eugene and Delsin. Fetch was about 7 blocks ahead of us.
-------
"Welcome to our humble abode." Fetch greeted when we saw her waiting at the door.
She opened the door and we were met with dark furniture.
The place looked and smelled amazing. With two teenage boys living here you'd expect it to be messy.
"I hope you like it. I'm always keeping it nice and clean. Since the boys don't seem to know what a mess is."Fetch said as she glared at Delsin and Eugene.
Figures
The living room was large and overlooked by the kitchen.
"We have two spare rooms," Delsin knocked me out of my thoughts.",you two can have them."
We walked to the back and I went into the one on the left. The left was always my side of the bed with Mitch. Since I slept on my left side, it would be if Mitch was to my right so he'd be in front of me. Thinking of him made me very sad but slightly happy to a degree.
I kicked off my shoes and set them near the door before laying down on the bed and going to sleep.
Seems I should make the most of this
----------
Okay, so... There was this girl who had a PTX shirt. She literally dropped it and it nearly got stepped on had my inner fangirl not activated and made me protect the shirt with my life.
I turned around and scolded her so quickly I was like a blur.
My exact words were," DON'T DISRESPECT PENTATONIX LIKE THAT!!!"
So, if you see someone disrespect Pentatonix in even the slightest, scold that motherfucker until they looked a roast beef sandwich. And then you can slap the holy hell out of them.
Also...2K PLUS WORDS!!!
