Once the elevator stopped Carol drove through the underground hangar and I was amazed at how advanced everything was. Fighter jets were scattered along with those armored trucks I've seen repeatedly. The drive was breathtaking. Then we drove down a ramp on the far side of the bunker leading to a separate parking lot underneath.
"Alright we're here, you ready?" Carol asked as she cranked the hand break. "Ready for...?" I questioned in return. " Oh right, so right now I am taking you to the CMP base's commander, he is a bit of a scary guy but you'll be fine." She replied with a smile. We got out of the truck and walked through the lot to an elevator.
"Down again, how deep does this place go?" I snapped. " Chill out a bit Chris it's ok to be nervous but patience is key to keeping a keen mind. You'll think better if you just don't think about it too much." Carol responded in a soft tone.
"Yea, that's a good point I'm sorry about that. Um... So hey about this commander guy, does he have telekinesis powers?" I asked. "Is that something you saw in a dream?" She asked in return. "Yea, it is. He used his powers to open a door letting you inside to capture me. I don't really get it but like you said it's better to just wait and see." I said. " Well that's ... I guess your right. It's better that you meet him again yourself and find out." As she said that she laid her hand on my shoulder gently.
We went down 5 floors then the elevator doors opened to reveal a tall man in a dark blue trench coat. He had a well kept beard and wore a white cowboy hat. The man had two armored soldiers behind him holding assault rifles. "Carol, it's good to see you girl how long has it been 5 years, 6?" The man asked as he raised his right hand and brought it towards his body. As soon as he lifted his arm, his coat lit up into a bright blue and Carol was lifted a couple inches off the ground. As soon as he brought his arm towards his body Carols body moved towards him.
As his coat darkened Carol threw her arms around the man and screamed
"Commander, it's good to be back. No place like CMP anywhere else in the world". "So that's him, he looks even less intimidating than the last time I saw him, weren't you supposed to be protecting him?" The man asked. "I did protect him obviously, look at him does he look hurt. Plus what did you want me to do, he wasn't exactly easy to hide in the first place." Carol replied. "Ah yeah, yeah you win. Hey kid you remember me ?" He finally turned to ask me.
"No, but I remember your powers. Very cool, what was your name again though?" I replied while wide eyed.
"Haha you got a good eye for these things I like that. The name's Malcom but everybody around here just calls me commander. And you are the infamous Chris Syco ! It's honestly giving me goosebumps just talking to you." He said with a smile. " Do you mean because the other me that we brought in was that bad?" I asked curiously. " Yes actually that's exactly right. To be straight with you, if you were him I'd probably be dead right now. He's just that damn good," he replied with an almost scared look in his eyes. "Let's go to my office. I can't wait to find out how you captured him." He shouted as he and the soldiers started down a long empty hallway which lead to a room i recognized instantly.
"This is where we first met isn't it? But I thought your office was above ground?" I asked. " It was but since that other you is such a trigger happy guy we had to rebuild it here underground. I'm glad you remembered because I really like it here." He replied as he gestured Carol and me to sit.
