The clicks of heels were the only noise heard in the lone hallway. The bright lights made the already white walls and tiled floors seem like they were lights themselves.
The woman was average height. Her glowing brown locks were dyed blonde. The click of her heels were calming and rhythmic. He white suit pants and jacket contrasted her dark skin and the bright red lipstick made her elegantly portrayed.
She held a manila folder clutched in her hands as she approached the only door in sight.
She knocked seven times exactly.
A muscular man opened the door.
"Come in." A voice said crisply. The woman calmly walked in and sat at a chair in front of the mahogany desk.
"You have new information, sir?" The woman asked as she opened her folder to review her prior knowledge.
"Yes. They've resurfaced in a town call Greenville. The casualties were in the twenties and the number one culprit was Subject B." The man asked.
"Do you have any information on what happened?" She asked as she flipped her hair behind her shoulder.
"The causes of death were deep cuts and amputations." The man spoke clearly.
"How will we deal with the matter?" She asked as she jotted down the new information.
"We're going to track them." The man spoke." And this time, you're going."
The woman gasped at new potential excitement.
"Are you serious,sir?" Her eyes were wide with excitement.
"Absolutely. I trust you won't fail me on this new assignment, Mrs.Knowles-Carter?" The man spoke with a seeking confirmation.
"A-absolutely, sir."
The woman swiftly stood up and walked out of the room and down the long hallway.
"Yes! I finally can show my worth. Maybe then I can be promoted to the L.A. division." The woman thought as she entered the commons area.

Ryan jumped from the window, using a spurt of water to stop himself at the last second before he ran across the street and created an aquatic whip to swing up a building.
Two man were throwing odd, red balls at him which exploded when they came into contact with anything.
When Ryan reached the top of the building, the men threw a red ball each towards him. Ryan turned around with the aquatic lasso in hand and whipped both of them, causing a small explosion.
Ryan continued to run across the buildings, using his lasso to latch onto the pipes on the sides and top of the building to keep himself from death.
He saw the river coming into view and created a water cyclone around his legs and took to the skies. As soon as he was above the river, he dropped and transformed into a splash of water that disappeared in the flowing water. He quickly traversed through the water and materialized into himself and he was crawling from the water.
"That was close." He hugged.
He looked over and saw the penthouse with his allies that was across town in a plain sight. He stood and took a deep breath.
"Last use tonight." He sighed and he remade the water whip and swung it around to generate more water and gather more momentum. He did a powerful front step before he lashed the whip at the building, the end twisting on the balcony of his desired location and he made it quickly shorten rapidly, causing him to fly towards the building.
As he was approaching, he wasn't slowing down.
"Shit." He cursed as he ran out of options, being twelve stories high making it very strict on options that result in living.
He was about to crash into the door before he turned himself to water again and went through the door's small openings.
He splashed onto the kitchen floor before he transformed into himself again.
"That was close." He sighed as he plopped down next to Fetch.
"How has your night been so far?" She asked, her attention only slightly being given to Ryan.
"I got ambushed by a bunch of red plasma bomb throwing fuckboys who wanted to attack me for some unknown reason." He expressed with fast hand movements.
Ryan calmed down and used his water whip to latch around a soda on the counter and bring it to himself.
"When'd ya learn that?" Jaide suddenly appeared next to his ear. Ryan jumped and threw he soda in the air. He trapped the entire spilling liquid into a water bubble, keeping all of it sealed inside and still drinkable.
"Don't fucking do that!" He growled, sneaking a water whip behind Jaide and lashing her bum quickly to add emphasis.
"Ow!"
"You damn right "Ow"." He returned and turned the water into a cone shape.
"Joe!" He called out. Almost immediately, blue sparkles came flying towards the cone and frozen the soda to the point where it was solid but easily crunched underneath teeth.
"Yum."

"What was mommy like?" Ken asked as he tried to remember all he could of Mitch, but seeing as he's been dead for nearly a year he couldn't really keep the memories as Scott had.
"He was... amazing. Gorgeous. He had no flaws. He was like the perfect person. He was a good person in every way imaginable. He loved you and your sister. You were always his number one priority. When I said that u was ready to be a daddy, he practically jumped into space. He was also a great singer. He had the voice of the most amazingly gifted angel. You're sister looks a little more like him than me. She had his pretty hair. She was sassy and smart. You, on the other hand, are just like your old man." Scott smiled as he ruffled Ken's hair.
"Daddy?"
"Yes?"
"Z said that when I turn fourteen, she'll bring back mommy and sissy." Ken said as he recalled the conversation he was eavesdropping on.
"What? How could she do that?" He asked as his eyes widened, exposing his hopeful, blue orbs.
"Ryan said h-her super power is to bring back da dead." Ken stumbled as he pushed his words out.
Scott stood up and tucked Ken in.
"Good night, champ. Get some rest. I'm gonna show you how to control your powers tomorrow before I enroll you in school." Scott kissed his forehead and turned off he lamp next to the bed he shared with Ken.
He hastily found Z and brought her to the balcony.
"He told you, didn't he?" Z said with a knowing eyebrow raise.
"How did you-" Scott started, but Z cut him off.
"I know for a fact you wouldn't drag me that hard unless it had something to do with your husband and/or child." She put a hand on her hip.
"You're... never mind. You can really do that? Bring the dead back to life?" Scott stared down at her.
"Yep, but I can only do it every five years. You see, I literally reach up, or down, and pull the person's soul back to the body and it reanimates them. Then, I use the power that I store up to give them their existence and body back. That's the way it works for dummies but I also would not be bothered to explain it." Z swiveled on her heels and left Scott to his happiness.
"I'm gonna get Mitch and Violet back? I'm gonna get Mitch and Violet back!" Scott jumped off of the balcony and used his electromagnetic force to levitate to the lake where he could celebrate without disturbing people.
"Woohoo! I'm gonna get my babies back! Fuck yes!" Scott cry in joy as he started to make all thing metal within a 100 foot radius to levitate.
"I just have to wait a little longer." Scott sighed as he looked up at the stars.
-----
"Oh Scotty, we can't wait to be back with you either." Mitch smiled from the other world, the heaven side with Violet at his side.
"See you soon daddy!" She called, still not know they can't hear her.
