Chapter2:Rescue
I didn't know where we were going. I just stared out the window...
I really didn't like her but damn...it wasn't my fault though. That would've hit Liz and if it did she would've been defenseless against all those losers. So what I did wasn't wrong. I protected my friends.
" Vince...sweetie don't worry about it. I know what your thinking but it wasn't your fault and you damn well know it, that bitch was asking for it."
" yea kid she was going to hurt your friend. Better her than Liz."
" yea I know but-"
" no buts." Sarah smiled comfortingly.
" And besides we cant worry about her when were the ones in danger." Liz pointed out.
I guess they were right. I looked out the window and saw trees, tall trees and flowers, beautiful flowers. I know where we live and I so don't remember any place like this.
" dude where are we?" I asked Sarah before the car started bumping around.
" my spot." she stated simply, expertly driving her wrangler through this...forest. We finally stopped but I didn't know why. We were in the middle of nowhere. Sarah stopped and put the car and park the car by a large tree.
" Sarah..." Liz started.
" look you guys cant go home they'll probably be cops all over our houses. This is my spot, no one knows about it and even of they did I'm in my element, every plant you see I can manipulate."
Sarah opened her door so we all did. I guess we have reasons to trust her. And I'm glad she thought of that...I could be in jail for what I did.
" follow me." she said grabbing what looked to be a duffle bag from her trunk. After she grabbed her bag she made sure we had everything we needed before she held her hands up and vines slowly covered her wrangler. The wrangler being green was hidden easily.
" just in case we're followed." she smiled. Her calmness from before was back.
" what exactly is your power?" Liz asked.
" I can move earth and do stuff with plants." Sarah responded grinning.
" what can you guys do besides what I already saw?" she asked excitedly. Despite the fact that we just got attacked she was happy.
" I'm fire and he's water. We don't really use our...powers much so we don't know what all we can do." Liz responded smiling just as big.
" this is cool. To finally meet another mutant." She piped cheerfully.
" yea...weird how we now just met." I thought then said. " shouldn't we like have a mutant gaydar thing?" both Liz and Sarah started laughing. " what? I'm serious." I pouted.
"yea...that's the sad part." Liz said.
"whatever," I said pulling my hood over my head.
" don't go all emo on my now!" she poked me in the side which caused me to jump. Another laugh at my expense.
"yeah, lemme tell ya. I'm like going to cry now." I mocked.
"aww you two are too cute! Ya'll act like brother and sister!"
" ha ha, that's how you know we hang out too much," I replied, sticking my tongue out at Liz.
" whatever, " she snapped her fingers in my face causing a flame to flicker INCHES from my face.
"ahh!!!" I jumped back. I'm really JUMPY! Sigh...liz is like the older sister I never had. Despite the fact that I'm black and she's white.
"you two..." Sarah shook her head at us, like a mother would do to her children. " ok where here."
Here? I didn't see anything. It looked just like everything else. I looked at Liz and knew she was thinking the same thing.
" where is here?" I asked Sarah.
" look. This is cool! You guys are the first to EVER see this. Yay!" she beamed. Sarah stuck her hand out and the vines started moving. I couldn't see much as she was blocking the door.
I looked at Liz puzzled. Sarah stepped back beaming. Liz and I moved closer to see what she did.
...it was...like....magical. Like something from king Arthur or some shit like that. Sarah cleared the vines and flowers in one spot, a door. But it looked like a gate....or an arch.
" I use to come to this forest to think. I would wander around doing nothing but admiring nature." she smiled. " ha ha laugh it up. GEEK AND PROUD!!" she stuck her tongue out, her green tongue ring showing.
" well anyways, like I was saying. I found this...wall and I felt an attraction. And so I found my `secret garden'" she dramatically rolled her hands in the direction of the arch.
" whoaaa....." Liz and I shared the same expression. Awestruck. It was...awesome and we didn't see the inside yet!
"seriously. Sooooo what's inside?" I asked a still grinning Sarah.
" oh yea! Haha come on." Liz and I walked through the gate and Sarah followed close behind, sealing it when we were all in.
" wow! This is like....sweet" I said in a stoner voice.
Liz caught on
" like stellar."
" um...yea, I'll just leave you..." Sarah pretended to walk away from us.
" Ooo, sarah you got any..." Liz Arched hr eye brows.
" some what...oh! Ha ha if I did I woulda smoked it already!"
" dude. You two take the stoner thing way too far...I was joking by the way."
"oh my god! I cant believe were all mutants. This is so fucking sweet!" Sarah exclaimed.
" yea I know. I wish I was telepathic...ooo! imagine all the shit I would find out. Hmm...I wonder if the principal is telepathic. He knows...like everything. So fucking hard to skip at our school."
" um no...those are called cameras." Sarah said.
" yea, I knew that."
" any ways..." Liz turned her back to me.
" girl be quiet. You're the queen of blonde moments!"
" so, Sarah. You use your powers a lot huh?" Liz said, ignoring my last comment but still smiling.
" yea. I love my powers! I feel so-so connected with nature. So special. Some people may think were freaks but I think were special. We have these powers for a reason."
"....I never thought of it like that. I always thought I had to hide it. Kinda like me being
gay..."
" damn...I for one cant go home. We used our powers in front of people...they'll be looking for us." Sarah looked lost in space.
Damn...where would we go? I don't want to bring this drama home to my mama either. She already has enough shit going on and a mutant...and gay son would just stress her out more.
" silent much?" Liz broke the silence.
" where do we go from here..." then it hit me. I hurt her. We hurt a lot of people. I know it was self defense but were mutants. We must have tons of battery and assault charges on us.
" the Xavier institute!" Sarah exclaimed again.
" I heard about that place! I thought it was fake though." Liz said.
" no. those kids over at Bayville high went there. They just tried to cover it up." Sarah corrected her.
" yea. But how do we get there? If we go anywhere we'll probably be killed. I know the cops are looking for us...maybe even a mob." into downer mode I go.
" good point. Cell phones wont work out here. All the tree's and stuff. I heard the Xavier dude was a super strong telepath. Even has a machine to make him stronger..." and how does she know all this?
" wow...do you have another power..." I asked Sarah. " you know a lot about this stuff."
" yea, the best one of them all, the human brain. I like computers."
" No wonder we never see you in school! Your in those advanced classes." Liz exclaimed.
" haha yea. Most of my classes are."
" how do we reach him? None of us are telepathic and Bayville is pretty far from us."
" well I'm sure were all over the news. He had to feel all the mutant activity here..." Sarah stopped talking and was staring at the sky.
" what is it? Sarah?" Liz asked, waving her hands in Sarah's face.
Liz and I turned around in the direction that Sarah was looking at.
We saw news helicopters flying around. Lots of them. Some had news channel logos but some...didn't. they were all black and looked different. Weird labby people maybe...
" oh my god! I didn't think there would be helicopters...DUCK!" Sarah screamed. She ran over to a big tree and opened it up. It was like a tree house, only at the base instead of the top.
" what do we do? Fuck!" Liz whispered.
" we need to stay calm and think about getting out. If we freak out will get caught." she's so...peaceful.
" if only I was stronger! I could blast those things out of the sky!" Liz, unlike me wants to be so strong. I don't really care about my powers. To me there just some other thing that makes me ....wrong,
???~hello? Can you hear me~
" What the shit? Did you hear that?" I looked around. It was a man's voice. He sounded so smart and calm. Comforting.
" holy fuck! I heard it" Liz replied.
" yeah...me too." Sarah. " hold on. Let me try something. Sarah closed her eyes.
" Vince...."
" This is fucking weird man." I let out a nervous laugh.
"didn't Sarah say that Xavier dude was a super powerful telepathic guy?"
"Yea. Could that be him?"
Xavier ~ you've heard of me? And what about the institute?~
" you have to speak with your minds...like think it and he'll hear you."
Me~ did I do it? Can he hear me?~ this feels weird. Of he can hear what I'm thinking...whoa. I hope he cant hear all of it.
Xavier ~ do not worry Vincent. I do not believe in that~
Me ~LIZ! I did it!~
Liz~ yea I hear you. This is cool! Can we do it whenever we want?~
Xavier~ you can now. I have just established a link with the three of you. It wont be as strong as a telepaths but-~
Me~ not to be rude, but: can you help us? Some crazy ass kids from our school jumped us so we used our powers and- ~
~ yes, I know. It's all over the news. I've sent to of my of my people to your Location. They should be there shortly.~
Sarah ~ I don't think we have that long professor. Were hiding but I think they'll find us soon.~
Xavier ~ well...one has a very interesting power. But his appearance may...startle you.~
Sarah~ we don't care. Just hurry~
Xavier ~ ok but do not be afraid of him. He's harmless~
What does he look like, I wondered. I didn't care. As soon as we got out of this tree house the better. It could Freddy Kreuger rescuing us and I wouldn't care.
"sweet! Were getting rescued!" Sarah exclaimed.
" I wonder what he looks like." I said aloud.
" well...I haven't read anything about mutations changing people..."
"Liz? Why are you so quiet?" I asked Liz who was staring out in space.
" nothing....that Xavier dude must be really strong. It makes me feel so weak." "hey, your stronger than me."
" yea but you hardly every use your powers." True. I'd gladly give them up if someone offered a cure.
"POOF!"
" AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!" we all screamed.
Liz fired up a fire ball and shot at...it. But he ` poofed' out again with a cloud of smoke.
" what! The! FUCK! Was that?" Liz asked. Her chest rising and falling rapidly, the same as mine. But Sarah. Sarah was the only one who seemed calm.
" LIZ! FIRE!! I screamed. Not that smart to through fire around inside a tree! But I guess she was scared so.
" hurry! Get out before it burns down!" Sarah ushered us out of the tree house.
The tree was rapidly catching on fire. Liz tried to bring the flame back to her but it was too much. She did, however manage to contain the fire to that one tree...but damn! That'll alert everyone to where we are.
" VINCE! Use your power. Put out the fire!" Sarah commanded.
I hate using my powers. And I only do so when I absolutely have to.
" no...I cant. I'm not strong enough,"
"THEYRE HERE! I FOUND THE CAR!!" holy shit.
