Sitting there silently in the dark, five shadowed figures stood around a distressed group of kids. The kid’s weren’t distressed because of the suited figures, but they were being mugged. The middle heighted figure quickly, but silently, pulled out a small round object and threw it at one of the thugs. The thug instantly collapsed and a flash of blinding light along with smoke shrouded the area.
The five figures could now see everything more clearly; there were two more thugs along with the unconscious one. The tallest of the five quickly ran over and hit a nerve grouping on the back between the shoulder blades. This thug also collapsed in the blink of an eye. This one was not out cold, but totally paralyzed for the next twelve hours.
Now the shortest, took and threw a small dart at the last thug that was trying to run away, though staggering from the smoke and blinding flash. The dart made contact, tipped with a poison to make the unlucky target lose absolute control of their own bodily functions and losing all muscle and nerve senses, collapsed until the proper serum was applied. The second tallest walked over to check on the civilians while the last stood back with a snide look on his face. The shortest, walked over and set the anti-toxins on her targets body, then walked back to the shadows and waited for the rest.
“Are you guys all right?” said the second tallest, removing a medical kit full of custom concoctions to try and aid the civilians.
“We- . . . “ stuttered the girl.
“Anyone get hurt at all?” he said extremely calmly.
“No- no I don’t think so, we’re ok…. Thank you….”
“No problem. If you’re ever in trouble, just give us a holler,” he said smooth as a fox. He walked over to the shadows and waited for the others. When everyone got over to the shadows, he dropped a small tablet and put a drop of water on it, in an instant, smoke was there, and they were gone.
“Man… that was AWESOME!” Anthony said as he started stripping off gear after they returned to the house. “Did you see how I hit that guy?! It felt so cool to watch his body tense and then relax from one little snap of the wrist.” Anthony is a fifteen year old guy, slightly over six feet tall, and has brown hair and blue eyes.
“I don’t think we need to use force like that, I’d rather not risk permanently harming someone,” said Nikolai, already in street clothes again. Nikolai’s sixteen, and also has brown hair and brown eyes, he’s just under six feet tall and looks older than he is.
“What do you mean by that, we all saw you throw that detonator at that guys back,” said Jayden, trying to back up Anthony’s case. She had taken off her helmet, but was still in her body suit. Now Jayden is the only girl in the organization, she’s very beautiful with red hair and blue eyes, and just over five and a half feet tall.
“Jay, you know perfectly well that was an extremely harmless flash bang. They might see spots for a bit, but that’s it. The most harmful thing about it would be if the toxins didn’t wear off completely, or they seeing spots for a few days.” Nikolai retorted defensively.
“We’ll see about that,” Jayden said, walking over and giving Anthony a big hug before he started taking his shirt off.
“You know Nick,” Anthony said as he was taking his shirt off in his and Max’s room. “You might want to start looking for a girlfriend, Jay and I were thinking of inviting you to come with us if you found someone.”
“Tony, you know I don’t have time for that,” Nikolai said after a huge sigh. “No matter how much it appeals to me. I’ve always got something going on with this little organization here.”
“What you guys talking about?” Max asked as he walked into the room.
“Noth-“ Nick started.
“Trying to get Nick here to get a girlfriend,” Tony interjected, “he needs some enjoyment in his life.”
“Well, I agree with the enjoyment part, but that doesn’t mean he needs a girlfriend.”
“I don’t have time for a girlfriend.” Nikolai retorted harshly.
“Relax Nick, we don’t want to get you riled up,” Tony said.
“It’s all right guys; you got your homework done? We have class tomorrow.”
“Umm… Nick, tomorrow’s Saturday…” Max said with a tired frown across his face.
“Oh, I guess it is… I’m out of it guys, get some sleep, I’ll talk to you in the morning.”
“All right Nick, night man,” Tony said.
“Good night Nikolai, said Max.
“So you don’t have time for a girl huh?” said a voice from behind him after Nick closed the divider.
“No, I don’t Drake; I’m too busy watching after you guys.”
“Watching after me? You’re too busy watching after everyone else to care about what I’m doing.”
“Whatever Drake, get some sleep, we’ve got a lot of work to do tomorrow.”
“Yeah, go to-“
“Drake shut up,” said a voice from behind. “You know we’d be screwed without Nikolai.” Nikolai turned around and saw Jayden looking at Drake with a despised look. “Nick here took us in, without him where would we be? On the street, that’s where… now you just go back to your room and look at those magazines.”
Drake was speechless, no one, especially a girl had ever stood up to him like this. “I… fine, whatever Jay….”
“Thanks Jay, I could’ve handled it though,” said Nick, walking with her to her room. “He’s just gonna have to learn sometime, things aren’t always his way. Sometimes I really worry about that kid though, anger issues and all he wants is the ladies.”
“I know you could’ve handled it… I just wanted to help…” she sounded embarrassed, as if she did something out of love and the person rejected it.
“Sorry Jay, I didn’t mean it like that… you know I really appreciate it, you’re like my sister.” He stopped and she took a few more steps and then stopped as well. “Jay, did you hear something?” She paused for a second and they both heard the sound of bone on bone. Jay takes off running towards Tony and Max’s room. “Jay, wait for me!”
Nikolai finally caught up with her as she flug open the door to the room only to see Tony on the ground getting relentlessly beat by Drake. “STOP, PLEASE!!!” she exclaimed, tears coming to her eyes. “Max! Do something!”
But Max just sat there with a horrified look on his face. Nikolai thinking as he could, pushed Jayden out of the way and dove at Drake, pinning him to the ground. “Max, get Tony to the med-area, quick.”Max quickly grabbed a cart off the wall and he and Jay lifted Tony onto it and ran down the hall to the med-area.
“What the hell do you think you were doing?” Nikolai asked; lifting Drakes shoulders into the air and slamming him back down. “Answer me!”
“His little slutbag there told me to-“
“I don’t give a crap what she told you to do! Why the hell did you do it and what the hell were you thinking!?”
“I don’t know…. Now get the heck off me!” Nikolai let out a huge sigh, and stood up. He paused for a moment and stared out the window.
“Pack your things,” Nikolai said. “I’ve given you multiple chances already, you need a break from here for a while, go somewhere else for the couple weeks, give me a call and I’ll let you back later.”
“You know what? I don’t frickin need you anyways… I’m out dude, have a nice life.” He then took a swing at Nick from behind and Nick saw it right before contact, he shifted enough to let it hit, but not be as bad. There was just that much time. Nikolai fell against the wall and grabbed a desk to support himself.
“Get out… just grab your stuff and get out….” Nikolai regained his composure and stood back up, as tall as he could. He was a good four inches taller than Drake. Nikolai stared into Drakes eyes and one last time told him to grab his things and leave. As soon as Drake left the room, Nikolai left behind him and locked the door. Nick then went down to the med-area to check on Tony and his wound.
