Evander stopped walking, feeling slightly sorry for the girl. he sighed, "Look I'm sorry for trying to kill you earlier, but I'm not so good at trust either. I can assure you, I dont need assistance in locating her." he combed his hand through his long hair. "How about this. I'll go find her, while you and Violet find some info on where we are. We'll meet back here in two hours to discuss what to do next." As her began to dissolve, he added, "Don't worry. If I find him I won't attack." He flew off into the sky.

"Please don't," Aroura shouted after him, "If he's hurt her, I want a piece of him too!"
She sighed, frustrated with being left behind. She shook it off and turned to Violet. "Well, you ready to began the hunt for answers?"

"Definitely. Besides, I want to figure out what I can do." She glanced around quickly. "Which way should we go? Doesn't look promising either way to me."

"I'm not sure, why don't you pick? It might lead us to finding your power. " Aroura suggested. She didn't know why, but she felt she could trust this girl. She reminded Aroura of herself.

"Theenn," Violet took another glance around. "This way." She gestured left. "There might be a few decent people there. It looks a little less run-down. C'mon." Resisting the urge to wildly sprint off as she would alone, or in any other situation, Violet began to walk down the road. She had a bad feeling about this way in reality, less run-down or not.

"Sounds good t me," Aroura told her. She could tell Violet was antsy, so she sped up, "Let's jog. I always feel better when I'm moving faster."
As they jogged, Aroura kept an eye out for anything that could help them out. Suddenly, she noticed a soup kitchen. Taking hold of Violet's shoulder, Aroura said "Hold up, they might be able to tell us something in there."

"Alright, c'mon then." Violet headed in.

"Alright, but please stay close, if I want to protect you and make sure no one can get ahold of you. You're important," Aroura told her, "I don't know why, I just have this feeling you are."
Having said that, Aroura opened the door. Inside, rickety tables where set up in rows with folding chairs set next to them. The room wasn't full, but there where more people then Aroura would like. On the far side of the room stood volunteers with all kinds of inexpensive foods in front of the to serve to people.

Evander had an idea of what his new ability might be. The manipulation of microbes, would fit with the theme of his outfit. He was about to try flying faster, when he saw movement below. on the roof of a nearby building, a man waved at him. A man with transparent skin. He quickly desended, reforming on the roof. "Where is my sister?" he growled. The man raised his hands in front of him. "Calm yourself, son. No need for hostility. I came to fetch you at the request of your sister, Synthia." Evander calmed himself slightly, but didn't let his gaurd down. "Who are you?" "My name is John. I noticed the destruction you and your sister caused earlier, and wanted to help you. When I brought your sister to my home I meant to take you as well, but the other girl noticed me. I did not want her to interfere with the transport process." His story had a ring of truth to it, but Evander still wasn't sure. "Why do we need help from you?" "I can assist you in learning to control your new found powers. I lead a faction of people like you and your sister. Our mission is to rid the world of evil. I wanted to get to you before our rival faction. They have the same goal as we do but, " John ground his teeth. "I feel they are to soft. Criminals dont deserve mercy. They deserve judgment." Evander gave a small smile. This was his kind of guy. "When do we leave?" John grinned. "Now." he said grabbing his shoulder.

An older, frazzled looking woman come over to Aroura and Violet.
"You two here to collect for John?" she asked them.
"Who?" Aroura asked.
"You know, the translucent guy who runs the criminal underworld here in Centros. You look like one of his thugs. Unless you're part of his rival's group." the lady told the girls.
"Oh no," Aroura whispered, swearing, she grabbed Violets hand. "We gotta go! Synthia's in trouble."
Once outside, Aroura whispered to the wind, sending a warning to the boy, wherever he was.

(I named the city Centros in the beginning)

Evander looked around to see they were standing on a tall hill, with the city in the distance. He suddenly heard Aroura's voice on the wind "Synthia is in danger! the man that took her runs the criminal underground. Be careful." John heard it too. Frowning he explained, "There are many criminals who commit their crimes saying they work for me." He sighed. "Its given me and my friends a bad rap." Evander nodded. He felt fairly certain the man was telling the truth. When they entered the building, something small and pink flew at him. "Evander!" Synthia cried, clinging to him. They embraced for a moment, then let go when John said, "I hate to interrupt, but we have a few things we need to discuss. If you would follow me." They entered a small side room, probably the mans study. They each sat in one of the two chairs across from the man. "First let me explain how you came to be here in the first place. Every so often a few young people show up out of no where with extraordinary powers. You and the others that you were with are those people. The young people are then given a choice. Will they join the Nox faction? Or the Lux faction. The Lux faction is run by my brother Terminus. He believes that wrong doers should have a trial and all that. I do not. Supers that do not choose a faction are soon picked off by other rouge Supers. Now I have seen the powers you both posses, and I would like to personally invite you to join the Nox faction. You don't have to decide now you can think about it till tomorrow. If you decide to join, wonderful. If you decide not to join, I will hold no ill feelings against you and you may join the Lux faction. But I do suggest that you pick one. I don't wish to see either of you hurt. For now feel free to explore the mansion or the grounds. If you wish to explore the city I request that Synthia stay here, for her own protection. She is not a warrior yet." Evander nodded. "I will need to return to the city soon." he looked at Synthia. "Will you be okay here without me?" She nodded. "I'll be fine." Evander smiled. As he flew off towards the city, he realized with a start, that he had heard for the first time, his little sister's voice.

After Ethan had seen the woman enter the building, he could hear shouting. Suddenly he heard a girl scream. The next thing he knew, the side of the building he was on, collapsed.
He got scared, he thought that he was about to die. Ethan placed his hands over his head and closed his eyes. He braced himself for the impact. Suddenly, he was on the ground. But he hasn't fallen to the ground, he was just there.
Ethan opened his eyes, he was on his side. Looking around he saw that he was in a small alley. As he peered out the alley, he saw the building that exploded. It was on the other side of the street! How did he get here, he thought.
The girl he saw earlier was talking to a guy and another girl with glasses. The guy suddenly dissolved. Ethan was shocked, he has never seen than before. He watched as the two remaining girls began to jog, he slowly followed them and watched them walk into a soup kitchen.
He tried to get closer to the building to see if he could get a better look at what the were doing. Ethan managed to make it quite close to the door, when suddenly, the girls burst out of the building. He didn't want them to see him, so he quickly dived into the alley beside the building.

As he flew, Evander noticed that his pieces had formed into the vague shape of a bird. "That's odd" he thought. "Wonder why it did that?" As he flew, he felt that same strange attraction. Following it, he was lead to an alley beside a soup kitchen. Silently swooping down, he saw a boy near the entrance. He reformed behind a dumpster, to keep from giving him a heart attack. He stepped out from behind it, into the kids line of sight. "Hello. The name's Locklear. I'd like to talk to you for a moment, if you don't mind.

---

The boy who appeared behind the dumpster caused Ethan to jump a little. He claimed that his name was Locklear. Ethan suddenly realised it was the guy he had seen earlier who dissolved. What was he?
Locklear stated that he wanted to speak with Ethan. Ethan was unsure whether to trust him or not. He had no choice, he had to talk to Locklear, he had to know where he was and what was going on.
"Uh, hi?" Ethan said.

"Judging by your confused look I imagine you don't know yet." He lifted his plauge mask, hoping to ease the boys discomfort, if only slightly. (He looks like my avatar. He doesn't know about the eye thing yet.) "A few people have been transported here and given some slightly odd abilitys. You are one of those people. I assume you woke up a short while ago, without much memory of where you came from or how you got here?"

---

"How'd ya know she was in trouble?" Violet inquired. "And at least we know the name of the city now, Centros."

---

"Abilities? So what you can do, that's your ability?" Ethan questioned. He was curious to whether or not he had an ability himself. He wondered if it was maybe his ability that saved him from the collapsing building.
"How many other people are there, do they also have abilities? Do they have memory problems as well?!" Ethan exclaimed.

"My ability as I currently understand, is the manipulation of microbes like bacteria. I have also learned to use these microbes to disassemble my body allowing me to fly. So far there seems to only be five of us. My sister has some sort of sound based power. She was the one that destroyed the building earlier. There is a girl named Aroura who can control elements. We haven't found out what Voilet power is yet. And yes they do all have memory loss."

---

"Where are the others? And why exactly were we brought here? What exactly are we even meant to do?!" Ethan asked. He was so confused, he just didn't understand. How could people just suddenly gain unnatural abilities. And why him?

Evander tryed to answer his questions. "The others are around the corner. I don't know why we were brought here. I really don't think we are meant to do anything in particular. Any way let's try to figure out what your ability is. Has anything strange happened? An unexplainable event?"
