Kai sat with a sad face and heavy heart knowing he was being kidnapped for a purpose they refuse to disclose to him, he stared at his lunch but refused to touch it for he was scared and knows nothing of what would happen to him next... What if his father could not rescue him? What if they couldn't find him? All these kept pestering his head without a second of break. He was afraid.... Really afraid, that he won't see his mother and his little siblings anymore; He just discovered he missed them already.
Once again his gift has proved to be useless to him now, because he can't think of a possible way to escape without being captured by the people who had abduct him.. For they seemed skilled in what they do... Kidnapping. One of them can solidize anything making his gift useless in aspect of escape and that frustrates him the more, he can't think of any possible way to escape because he tried to use the toilet... but to no avail...
"What do I do now?" He thought and sighed heavily. "I wish someone could save me from this rogues?.... Help me God. I need assistance in these..... Help me."
He bowed his head and was about to cry... His dad told him that only women cry and not brave men but now... Now.... His bravery has seemed to disappear
"Can you hear me ?" He thought.
"Yes I hear you Kai." He heard a voice in his head.
"Is that you God?" Kai asked
"Nooo.." The voice had frustration in it when answering that question.
"Who are you?" Kai asked.
"Your way of escape Kai." The voice said
"Huh..." Kai gagged
"Never mind that...." The voice said. "I heard you can phase through anything."
"I can also make things intangible." Kai thought.
"Excellent... Now I want you to do the same with that window you are sitting close to." The voice said.
"Why.?" Kai asked with fear in his voice.
"Am sending in something... And I want you to hold it." The voice said.
"Hmmmm...." Kai slowly replied
"Don't be scared... I won't hurt you." The voice assured
"Here goes nothing.." Kai sighed.
He lifted his head and stared at his kidnappers for a while, two sat a table away from him... Two at the bar but all of them seemed to have their eyes on him. they watching him made it uneasy for him to do anything.. He swallowed and bowed his head to stare at his food when something caught his eye, he saw one of the rods used on the window that seemed to go deep into the earth and it was an inch from his feet. Hope suddenly welled up in his belly and he seemed to wonder where they came from... He had already trained himself last term on how to make things phase when they are linked to the object he chose to phase... The training did take a while but he mastered it perfectly that he could even make it happen by touching the object with his feet, guess being a class A student does pay off actually.
He moved his feet towards the rods and it began to phase but to the extent that one can't easily notice it.
"I have done it." Kai thought
"Alright then... Hold on." The voice said.

"Here we go.." Ned said.
He adjust his arm position as if to play darts with the rose in his fingers... Guess Clint had let it go eventually after so much struggle and fight undergone just got the rose to be used for the mission.
His matrix eyes showed hiim how it would be done if he adjusts his fingers a bit, and with effort he threw the rose into the air... The rose went like a dart but with speed of sound as it spinned in the air, it seemed to move in accuracy and in a straight line. Not even shifting it's position in the air and it hit the windows... Damn... That's a good throw. Instead of a thud, it went through the window and landed on Kai's table.. Seemed the kid did his own part of the plan.
"Now Clint." Ned turned toward Clint. "Do your thing."
Clint closed his eyes and placed his hand together, a bluish purple sphere began to circulate in between his hands and a rose suddenly conjured out of it. He caught it with his fingers and placed it to his nose... Again. Seemed he isn't ready for the mission everyone thought, but there was something missing... His smile is gone and eyes closed in deep concentration.
"Looks like the kid knows what his doing." Neil thought
"ROSE ILLUSIONAL SMELL." Clint opened his eyes as it seemed to go red all of a sudden, his beautiful blue eyes has turn rose red and his aura seemed to go high that it's sensation made the weed around respond to his aura's command.
.
.
.
A faint nice smell came out of the rose and circulated the entire room and it was making everyone go to sleep..
"That's strange." Kai thought.
He could see his kidnappers are slowly drifting to sleep as their eyelash seemed to deny them the authority of keeping it open for long... Guess they have fallen into a trance or something and this Kai can't understand, sure the rose does smell good but why is he the only one awake in the restaurant he began to wonder. This motion happening in this place is done by a gifted, although he doesn't know who but he could surely sense the auras of four mid-leveled gifted but where are they he began to wonder.
.
.
.
"Guys... You've got to hurry." Clint spoke. "I don't know how long I can hold this curse... The abductors seems to be resisting."
"Neil.. It's your turn." Ned spoke.
"Leave it to me." Neil stepped forward.
His eyes already in it's glorious color and ready to perform it's usual stuff... Something doesn't feel right and he can't seems to know the reason behind the blurring vision of his. Looks like he is losing stamina but what would be the course of it he wonders.
Whatever this is; it shouldn't hold him back now. Because everyone's confidence seemed to be on him and he can't seem to fail them now. He quickly spotted Kai where he sits and tried his best to keep his vision steady so as not to make a mistake on the substitution.
He quickly switched Kai's position with a rock as soon as his vision Seemed to adjust to normal for a little time. But his eyes seems to go heavy like he was about to collapse. What's the issue with him now, not that he has reached his limits but he seems to be losing his strength and stamina. He was falling down as his vision began to go dark and the noise bluring out little by little... Guess this is it for him.

"Neil..." Sandy grab hold of Neil as he was about to make impact with the ground.
"What's wrong with him?" Kai asked.
"He's suffering from hypoglycemia." Ned spoke as he scanned Neil
"English..." Everybody yelled.
"He has low blood sugar." Ned said. "He seemed to lack eating glucose."
Silence
"Umm.... Guys." Kai called out. "They are waking up."
When Ned got to Kai's standing point to take a peak at what he was saying... It turned out to be true, the bad guys are waking up and Neil just went off...
"Now this is fantastic." Ned lamented. "The bad guys are up."
"What do we do now?" Sandy asked
"I need a minute...." Ned spoke.
"we don't have a minute." Kai lamented. "One of them is gifted with sensory...."
"Meaning.?" Clint asked
"He would sense us out in a minute." Kai finished.
Clint swallowed.
Ned has to think fast or this will be the end of them and that would come to pass if his smart idealess brain can come up with something real fast. He only made a plan A and forgot the B, this is the first time il he has done it and now it would cost them their lives.
The abductors are all combat experienced high-leveled gifted with the way they had awakened from that rose real fast made his hypothesis become a theory. And they being mid-levels gifted made the entire issue a frustration that one can't think of a possible way out of it.
"Sandy's knucklehead.... Clint doesn't want his clothes roughed... And I always calculate.... And Kai....." Ned thought. "What would be his help in the whole issues..?"
He looked over towards Kai and saw what looked like fear written on his face, it seems he is scared of being captured again when he just thought he was about to make an escape from the people who captured him. Guess he knows what they will do to him once he is found.
"Hold on a sec..." Ned paused in thought. "He has spent time with them and have tried escape plans a whole lot... Got captured again and again and again..... That means one thing for sure, he knows their gift... All of them."
"Hey Kai.." Ned called out.
"Huh." Kai turned
"Come over here for a sec." Ned gestured
Kai went close to Ned with worries still on his face and doubt at heart but Ned seemed calm and bold and that creeps the hell out of Kai. Big time..
"Do me a favor." Ned looked at Kai. "I want you to tell me the gifts you abductors have... And point them out so I may know them."
Kai walked close to see all five of his abductors as they stood by the door of the restaurant... It was like they had already seen him.
"The one with red hair is a solidizer.... Making everything solid, no matter what they are....." Kai pointed out. "The one with Gray hair can sense and track anybody.... The bald guy uses combustion."
Silence
"What about the remaining two?" Ned asked rubbing his jaws.
"I haven't seen them do anything." Kai spoke.
"I see.... Then we don't have much of an advantage." Ned sighed. "Well guess we have to get out of here.... Sandy."
"Yeah, what?" Sandy spoke.
"We will be needing some thunderstorm what you think?" Ned smirked
"And how am I to do that?" Sandy asked
"Huh.... Have you forgotten what you can do." Ned asked, eyes wide open.
"Guess I will need a minute to do it." Sandy said
"Are you kidding me now?" Ned thought. "Neil would have made this easier if only he is awake."
"You don't need to hide anymore boy." The voice echoed. "I can sense you."
"Guess we've been spotted." Kai lamented.
"Ned...." Sandy shrieked. "You've got any other nerdy idea with you?"
Ned paced for a little while trying to bring up strategy.
"There's a car out there." Clint spoke. "The problem is how do we get there?"
"And who's gonna drive?" Kai shouted
"I will drive...." Ned spoke.
"Eh....." They yelled
"Clint I need your help?" Ned turned
"Whatever the plan may be." Clint smirked. "It better be good.
"Oh..." Ned smiled. "You're going to like it."
