Unwanted Assistance The police were all searching for her. There were several units patrolling the area. Sergeant Acheki knew it was rare for an individual to display multiple powers. Most of them would use a maximum of two, usually never more. There were a small few that could use three, but Akaisha wasn’t normal. She showed the use of three, maybe even more. They considered her a superhuman. It gave him a guilty conscious. It was illegal to use any form of superhuman traits, even if she was doing it for a good reason. Saving lives and stopping a robbery in progress was amazing. Akaisha was, by definition, breaking the law. Unfortunately. He was back at the station, trying his best to look into her. Any information would do at that point. Something. Anything at all. Thinking her name in the search box didn’t yield any results. It was abnormal. Something should've come up, but not even a dob. “What are you hiding, Miss Morningstar? Why can’t I find anything about you?” His eyes scan
Professor Mozart kept driving down the road before he reached an area that seemed the same as everything else they had passed by. Same mountains. Same rocks. Same everything. The silence in the car was deafening. Neither spoke to the other. He knew in his heart that once he told her everything, she would have understood what was going on. She would want to help him. He didn't need to resort to shameful tactics. If she didn’t understand, then he was proud of using her trash father’s face as a way to get closer to her. It was better for him to have every potential outcome known to him. So that he could have a plan for it. If it came down to her rejecting him. What could he do or say to get her to help him with this mess he unwittingly made? That mistake was surprisingly hostile towards him. They arrived at a seemingly normal patch of mountains. The only difference in front of them was the two cacti. The arms on them made it appear as a goal post. He pressed a special button on the car t
Her eyes bore into him, trying to discern his intent. His face was a mask. Not even a twitch of his brow gave anything away. He was better at keeping his emotions in check. “Where should we look for this animal?” Akaisha was worried about Blue’s safety. Considering how she wasn’t sure how big this thing was or what it even was. Were they actually sure that the animal left this secret compound or was it hiding somewhere within it? “Fortunately, during my experiments, we put a tracker inside of its leg.” He smiled at her. It was a smile filled with secrets and lies. “So, we should be able to find it with this.” He held up a small device with a screen attached. “I just need you to use any of your abilities to bring it back safely. Emphasize on the word SAFEly.” He went rummaging through several drawers, looking for something. He muttered curses when he couldn’t find it. “And if I don’t? What will you do?” She was testing him, he knew that. She was always defiant towards him. He motione
Akaisha looked at the trifling man next to her and could only swallow. The longer she stood next to him, the more he disgusted her. Bile welled in her throat. Burning as it sat there begging to come out. She swallowed it down, repeatedly. How could he do something like this? Create something so mix mashed. Why would he do something like this? Experimenting on a child is one thing. Gruesome and horrific alone, but an extinct animals was something only a madman would conjure. Could conjure. Her eyes narrowed into slits. She just stood there. What could she really do? Did she actually want to help him capture an animal that shouldn’t exist? Yet, she had given her word and her word was just as good as shackles. Professor Mozart did teach her that “Your word is your bond. If you agree to do something, then you should keep your word so you didn’t come across as a liar.” Akaisha could only sigh softly. That thought rolled around her brain. She hated it. Better to be a liar than to help this
If Akaisha focused really hard, she could imagine the device in her hand. Feel its weight and shape of it. Her eyes closed, blocking out the cries of pain. The whirling of machines. The beating of her heart. After a few minutes, a slight weight settled in her palm. She opened her eyes and exhaled in relief. There in her hand was the tracking device. The very one the professor held in his hands just minutes prior. Giving Misty a small smile, she threw it down to the floor and stomped on it. Misty had run to the assistant to help Blue out, and with one swipe of its paw, the man was down on the ground, unconscious. His wrist mangled beyond normal repair. The hand flopped to the side, held together by a few ligaments and skin. Akaisha hurried towards the two of them. Cuddling Blue into her chest, she wrapped her arms around Misty to teleport them all outside. “You two are ok?” Blue panted happily, her soft, wet tongue lying outside her mouth. “I fine. Stranger down. Who this? Smell funny
She had gotten the car up to 55 miles per hour when she saw it. A faint yellow glow in the distance. There was a green outline to it. An unnatural color. It was near where they had escaped from. The closer she got, the more she could see it was a fire. Did that man actually start a fire in his lab to draw attention to himself? No, he wouldn’t allow anyone to know of his evil deeds. He started the fire to lure her out into the opening. She was going to turn the car around to head away from the burgeoning commotion and thought about it quickly, but it was too late. Fire copters were there on the scene. She could see in the distance blue and red lights approaching them fast. It was the police. Accompanying the fire copters. Akaisha knew they needed to get off of the road and fast before they were stopped. It didn’t seem as if they had closed off the roads, so she worked her brain harder to speed through the area. They couldn’t be stopped not here or now. Soon as she passed by the area, s
Misty only looked at her, not quite understanding what she meant. His head inclined to the side. It reminded her of how Blue would look at her questioningly. They made it into her apartment, where it appeared as if everything was normal. Blue seemed happy to be back home. Running and pouncing on the furniture. Their short-lived adventure made her happy. Akaisha looked around the apartment. It was familiar. It had been home, her, their sanctuary. She had lived here for five years, but now with this special creature, it was for the best that she moved. The apartment seemed small. Felt smaller. Setting out food for Blue, she then went to the fridge to get out a mixture of things for Misty. Since he had DNA from several different animals, she made sure to give as much variety as possible. Whether they fed him a carnivorous diet meant nothing to her. Blue waited to eat her food until she saw Misty eating. It took some time. Misty gazed at the food before him. Vegetables and fish steamed w
He looked around the diner to see a few familiar faces and some not-familiar faces. He knew exactly which restaurant the woman meant when she asked for the meeting. This was a diner he frequented regularly. He looked over at the booths to see someone he was indeed looking for, Akaisha Morningstar. Everyone else that was in Kara-Mae was regulars. They waved at him as he came in. Akaisha, she wasn’t what he was expecting. Her long locks rested against her shoulders. Her eyes were a vibrant violet, they weren’t normal eyes. It was a sign of being genetically altered. They had come across several humans with different colored eyes, all have been enhanced, but none could tell what happened to them. He sauntered over to her table, stopping inches away from the table. “So, you’re the person who I am looking for. The one who saved those patrons in the restaurant? And extremely dangerous.” He took a seat opposite her. “You certainly don’t look like it. Dangerous, that is. Sergeant Acheki.” He h
