Chapter 71 - Find Her

Kai wakes up in a bed. He looks to his side to see Raelynn still sleeping. Kai slips out of bed trying to not wake her up. Kai puts on pants and goes into the kitchen. Soon Raelynn wakes up. She looks a little annoyed that Kai isn't in the bed. She starts to smell food, and she gets up. She puts on a robe and walks into the kitchen.

Raelynn: You cook?

Raelynn sits down.

Kai: I like to eat good food. So I decided to learn.

Raelynn: You should know. Foods the way to a woman's heart.

Kai: Isn't that why it's called brownie points?

Raelynn: Is that where the term comes from?

Kai laughs.

Kai: No. Of course it's not.

Kai sets the food on the table, and they start eating.

Raelynn: What do you have planned for the day?

Kai: I never have anything planned.

Raelynn: Then why did you make breakfast so early?

Kai: It's nine!

Raelynn: It's early!

They finish eating. Kai gets up to clean the dishes and Raelynn grabs his arm.

Raelynn: Let's go back to bed.

Kai: Why, we're already up?

Raelynn: Come on.

Kai sighs.

Kai: Fine.

Remi is strapped down to a table in what looks to be a medical room. She is strapped down with belts. She tries to move, but it almost feels like the belts get tighter when she moves.

Remi(in head): What happened? Last thing I remember that man walked into the bar.

A dark skinned woman with shaved hair walks in. She has on a black jacket that doesn't cover her stomach, and black pants on.

Remi(in head): What would Kai say?

Remi: At least wear a lab coat!

The woman grabs Remi's face with one hand squishing her. She moves Remis head back and forth to look at her. She smacks Remi on the mouth.

Remi: Hey-

???: Prisoners don't act up. Your fate is in my hands. Haven't you ever heard the saying, "don't bite the hand that feeds you."

Remi stays silent.

???: Good dog.

The woman starts rummaging through her things. She has chemicals and surgical tools.

???: We have just developed a new… medicine.

Remi(in head): We?

???: This medicine will do wondrous things. You will be able to shed that mortal body of yours. Become something new.

The woman grabs a syringe. She presses on the syringe, and a liquid comes out of the top.

Remi: No-

???: You'll love it.

The woman walks over and sticks the syringe into Remi's neck. Remi starts convulsing and heavy breathing. She grunts in pain.

???: Once you're done, thank Integer for that human cure.

Remi keeps convulsing.

???: Shut up!

The woman shuts the door. Max is on the computer in Kai's basement. Max sees that the last place Remi went was in. He sees it was a building with no sign on it.

Max: Remi is in trouble. She wouldn't have just gone off the grid like this. It's time for Kai to get over his petty grudges.

Max calls Kai. Kai's phone starts buzzing. Kai is lying in bed cuddling with Raelynn. Kai picks up the phone.

Kai: What's going on Max?

Max: Ah, I see you got over it.

Kai: You know I don't stay mad about shit. Holding grudges is useless.

Max: Good, because Remi is missing.

Kai: What?

Max: You were on a date yesterday so she decided to scope out a new lead we got. She walked into a building last night and never left.

Kai: Are you in my basement?

Max: Where else would I be?

Kai: I'll be over that in like ten minutes.

Max: Take your time. No one's life is on the line.

Kai: Oh shut up. It's ten minutes.

Kai hangs up.

Raelynn: Do you have to go?

Kai: Yeah, I'll talk to you later. I have to go help a friend.

Kai kisses Raelynn and leaves. Kai drives to his house. He walks in and goes into the basement.

Kai: Do you know where she is?

Max: Yeah.

Max starts typing to zoom in on the location. Then a newscast covers the screen.

Kai: You have the news play for you?

Max: Yeah. Keeps me updated.

Reporter: The police say that Alcatraz, the prison on one of the islands surrounding New York, has been modified to hold superhumans. To this day it holds the strongest and most dangerous criminals. The cops assure you that it is impossible to break out of Alcatraz. Breaking news! We have just been forwarded a video.

The video pops up on the screen behind the reporter. A man with a cloak is standing in front of a wall. The wall had W.A.T.K.H. painted in white.

Man: I am the leader of W.A.T.K.H!

He pronounces the word as watch.

Man: We fight against our human oppressors. You, humans, are a curse to our planet. That's why we have started to change you.

A man on a table like Remi is strolled out by someone wearing a cloak.

Man: We have a human cure. To change you into something new.

The woman in a cloak stabs a syringe into the man. The man starts convulsing.

Man: Watch.

The video speeds up. They watch the man convulse and breath heavily. He grunts in pain. Then an explosion of fire came off of him. The woman in a cloak shoots the man in the neck with a dart. The man falls asleep.

Man: He is now one of us. Anyone we choose will get the cure. If you don't get the cure. We will kill you.

The video stops playing.

Kai: Do you think they were the one who took Remi?

Max: Maybe.

Kai: Where do I go?

Max exits out of the newscasts to show the zoomed in location.

Kai: I'll be back.

Max: Hopefully.

Kai goes upstairs and puts his suit on with his com. Kai heads out and starts running across rooftops.

Max: Watch out. You don't know what's in there.

Kai(in head): I might have to really use my powers again.

Kai finds the building Max showed him. Kai sees no windows. All there is is a door. Kai opens the door. The man throwing fire knives stops.

Kai: I do love the occasional bar fight.

A fire knife flies at Kai. Kai blasts it back with spirit energy. Another man grabs a sword. He slashes at Kai. Kai teleports behind him and kicks him in the back.
