It was a day now.
Kira was swollen with nervousness.
" I can't just sit here and risk people's lives".
" I have to do something".
" I have to help".
She decided to move over to Leah's home to help with whatever she could.
Sia lay on the bed.
Her hands behind her head.
A leg raised to a crunch position.
" What was She going to do".
She could not dissapoint Leah and most especially Jay.
She knew Leah was worried .
She had called her so many times but Sia couldn't bring herself to answer.
Aìmêè refused to help out.
Not without a condition attached.
Sia could not oblige to her neither could she go back to Leah and Jay without answers.
She decided to try one last time.
She stood up from the hologramic bed and went over to Aimèê 's room .
She had just finished her meditation.
She was about to get to her pod.
And afterwards her classes.
" Aimèè tu dois m' aider".
Aimèè was from France .
She loved french and it was ome of the things that warmed her heart.
Luckily Sia had taken french classes in her sleep.
It meant " Aimee you have to help me".
" N'essayez pas de vous rèchaffeur dans mon cœur en parlant français".
Aimèè was telling her.
" Si tu n' acceptes pas ,alors je me suis pas prèt a aider".
She was simply saying
" Don't try to warm your way through my heart by speaking french".
" If you're not goanna accept ,then I'm not ready to help".
Aimèè was already focused on her laptop.
" Mais c'est trop risque".
Sia was telling her with frustration written on her that it was too risky.
" Je ne veux pas que tu t'en mêles".
That meant She didn't want her to get involved.
" Je ne suis pas si tu es prèt pour ça".
It meant " I don't know if you're ready for this".
" Je sais ce que cela implique".
" I know what this entails".
" Je suis prèt".
" I'm ready".
" pourquoi est ce trop difficile á compredre pour toi".
" Why is that too hard for you to understand".
" Tu vois Sia,Je sais que tu m'aimes et Je ne peux pas supporter de voir du mal m'arriver , mais Je dois faire ce que je dois faire".
" See, Sia i know you love me and can't bear to see any harm come to me but i gat to do what i gat to do".
Sia was frustrated and worn.
It was obvious Aimèè wasn't ready to listen or care about the consequences.
She has made up her mind.
Sia decided to push a little more, If She didn't burge then She would have to take her to Leah on her request and then She would be part of a revolution group.
This time she spoke English.
" It's too dangerous".
" Besides ,i don't think your powers are right for this kind of mission".
" But you need me to monitor and notice Zen's movements ".
" Besides I'm really good at AI ".
Sia knew she was right.
" Et si tu devais te defendre".
It meant " What if you had to defend yourself.
" My powers are developing everyday ,Sia".
Aimèè seemed tired too.
She let out an exhausted breathe.
" Je ne veux plus en reparler".
" I don't want to talk about this again".
" Si tu ne veux pas que Je vienne avec toi, alors au moins laisse -moi avoir ma paix et doimoir en paix".
" I your'e not goanna let me come with you".
" Then at least let me have my peace and sleep in peace" .
She had dropped her laptop and turned to the side to sleep.
Sia left .
Aimèè started sobbing.
She wanted to have revenge .
She needed to .
She wanted to save Earth too.
Only if Sia agrees.
Sia sat in the couch .
Leah would not mind having an extra hand.
It would be a plus for everyone .
Besides no one starts a revolution with three teens.
Maybe they could but they can't go to war with just three teens with developing abilities.
She made up her mind.
Leah may be upset but She would later realize that She had done the right thing.
She immediately rushed to Aimèè 's room .
She was sobbing on her pillow.
" Aimèè, Tu peux venir avec moi".
" Aimèè, you can come with me".
" J'ai décidè que tu peux venir avec moi".
" i have decided that you can come with me".
Aimèè was already on her before she vould complete her last statement.
" Merci , Merci" .
She continued saying.
" Go pack up , we have to leave this night".
She nodded .
She was too excited to talk.
" We're taking the maglev train, so hurry up".
She was about to leave ,she turned.
Aimèè was so happy .
She had started packing up.
Sia was telling herself within that she was doing the right thing .
She was trying to believe so.
She turned and looked at a happy Aimèè again.
She was doing the right thing.
She just didn't know how Leah would react to this.
She turned and left.
* * *
" Why is Sia not back yet".
She paced round the room .
" She's not answering her phone calls, conference call request, hologram call request."
" She shut off her gel phone interface and am sure she's not wearing her display".
" She must have turned to the hologramic mobile phone". Jay suggested.
" Alert, Kira's portal opening".
The annouce stimulator annouced.
A second later, a portal opened up in the room.
Kira stepped out of it.
She was way to lazy to summon a transporter .
If Leah was suprised she didn't show it.
Kira looked like a shadow of her former self.
Leah wanted to run away.
What would she tell Kira .
That She hadn't completed the time machine .
That Zen knew they were up to something.
That the girl, Sia was nowhere to be found.
But She could not just run away like that.
At least she had Jay with her.
Kira was a pathetic mess.
She knew She hadn't slept for long.
" Heey, Leah".
She said as She threw her arms around her.
Kira hugged her back.
She hugged Jay.
" Why're you here".
" Came to help".
" Realized I'd been risking lives to get myself out of the mess i had created".
" It just isn't right".
" So i came".
" You don't seem to have slept for days".
" I can risk it ".
" If he dies in my dreams, he dies for good".
" So what can i help with".
Kira asked.
Leah signed.
" Actually leah, there's something I've got to tell you about".
Kira felt bad news coming.
" Right after you eat and freshen up".
Then She retracted and said.
" And sleep".
" You know that's not possible".
" What makes you think i can't make it possible".
" I have a sleep intuitor".
" It induced ome to sleep by blocking and canceling out all brain waves ,data signal and transfer in the brain".
" It destroys the activation pattern in the visual cortex so you only see an activation pattern i have recorded from another visual cortex of another brain".
" Sounds like i could really use this sleep intuitor".
She smiled.
A weak tired smile.
" Well follow me".
" Or would you rather we teleport than walk".
" I don't know why but i prefer to walk".
They walked to the room, they could have used a transporter or a hologram roller shoe, the hologram roller shoe was a hologram, it was confined into a shoe shape and could be modeled into any shape, size or make or that was needed to to wear on a " Shalogram" Interface and remodel communicator, it enabled one to create a new concept and recreate an exact model.
The shoe could be compressed and depressed to any shape and size.
That was what every one wore.
The hologram could also be colored .
The person could dictate what colour he or she wanted into the interface.
The interface communicated with the laser sensors (LED lights) which canceled out the colors of the hologramic matter and the hologram could absorb the light/color which he/she wanted from the laser.
" Leah".
Kira called her name passionately.
" Yes" She replied.
" Never mind".
Kira strugged on.
" I'll tell you later".
Leah didn't want to ask so she let the sleepimg dog lie.
They got to the room.
Kira took a bath in the electronic bath pod.
She would enter into the pod and the glass would roll over.
She would lie and she would be bathed and sprayed and frangranced.
After she came out of the pod.
Leah suggested her to sleep.
She felt her request was not genuine like she was hiding something from her but She really wanted to sleep.
Leah brought out the intuitor.
It was like a headband.
Kira put it on, it was light.
She liked the feel .
Leah put it on.
Kira was watching Leah for some minutes, She could not talk.
It was as if she had been induced.
A few minutes later, She was deep in sleep.
Kira rushed into the sitting room.
" So ?" . Jay asked.
" She's asleep"
" We've got time to put in some effort".
" We need soemone to fuse the parts together". Jay told.
" We can't make use of a machine because we'll have to purchase one
" since Zen is aware ,He will not allow us have it".
" we have to think of another way".
Jay comcluded.
" If only there was such a person with such a power". Leah said.
Jay looked like He was pondering.
Leah knrw he had something to day but didn't know how to go about it.
" Whatcha you gat to say".
She asked.
He hesitated.
" I know someone with that kind of powers but i don't know if you're ready to add another crew member".
Leah thought for a while.
" What do you think is my criteria to come onboard".
" I don't know but if i were you "
" Any one who wanted to secure our society and had displayed any heroic behaviour".
" Someone fearless, decisive, deadly, fast, thought provoking".
" Someone strong, who won't back out of a fight so easily, who's ready to take risks and does not care ahout the consequences".
" Someone passionate, who realized it takes more than abilities to save the world".
He paused and rested.
" That is the person fit for enlistment".
He concluded.
" I never thought of it".
" This was an unexpected role".
" I never had time to think my way through".
" I understand Leah".
" Everyone makes though decisions at points in their lives that they never planned to make".
" Things always just happen".
" Most of the time we're not prepared for such".
" But what makes us true heroes is our reaction in gullible situations".
" If there's one thing i know , Leah".
" I know you're a hero about to lead a revolution to save billions of lives from a rule of terror".
He placed his hand om her shoulder but she pulled gim into a hug.
An idea flashed ro her head.
" We could actually locate Sia".
" How?".
"She made herself invincible".
When He ment invincible, He ment She had blocked out all tracking possibilities.
She could be tracked but her exact location could not be reached.
The tracking sensor just kept on navigating in mixed directions.
" The transporter ,it has an inbuilt sensor to monitor locations from another system".
" I had it in place just in case of kidnap or it happens that one was Mis-transported".
" I could get her exact location that way".
She was excited then she became less excited
" What happened".
" What do we do about the time machine".
" We need someone to fuse the parts".
" we may not be able to get that person soon".
" We could make another one".
" I could sneak into " LAABTECH".
There's a time travel machine that os being developed".
" I could perform a copy scan".
" Get a protype of the system and tech program used".
" There's news its an hologramic time machine and could be compressed into a box".
" With the prototype scan, we can create an exact copy make of the time machine".
He concluded.
Leah thought that would take forever.
They didn't have time on their side.
" That's brillant and risky but we don't have time to our side".
" If only we knew Zen's plan ,we could determine his next move".
Leah lamented.
" We can".
Leah heard a voice exactly like Sia's but instead of faraway it was close by.
On instinct they turned, Behold
" Sia" Both Jay and Leah screamed.
They both took turn to tuggle her into a hug before they noticed she was not alone
