NATHAN'S POV
This guy is insane. The Psycho.
We took the guy who delivered the message to us to be scanned by Karen and trust me the results were really crazy and stupid that it didn't make sense. Karen said his the hippocampus of his brain literally empty. A hippocampus is a part of the brain the holds or controls memory and I believe her because the guy doesn't even know what English is he keeps on speaking whatever language babies speak. This guy is completely wasted but if this Psycho guy cleared his entire memory means this guy knew something that he doesn't anyone figure out. Karen said she'd try to recover his memory so right now he's in a locker in her lab.
It's been three hours since the guy came the cops came by once to ask some questions about Ava's missing case. Karen thought it would be a better idea to tell the police so we could information and to "allay suspicious accusations against us." Or so she says. I really want to find Ava. Ever since she went missing I haven't been able to sleep alright. That girl drove me crazy right from the first time I met her and now her being missing is something I don't even know how I'm handling it. I haven't had some decent sleep or rest. I haven't even concentrated on my site even though I know it can't come crashing down any second.
"Your speed dick was a lot of help in finding her." What did he mean by that. How did he find Ava using my stuff? This is starting to become frustrating and stupid.
"Cass?"
"Yeah?"
"Do you have any idea how he found you?"
"I don't know. I just walked up to my house and saw blood splashed on the wall and psycho written through on it using the blood." I stood there paused still thinking about what he said again.
"What's on your mind?" Sandra asked.
"When came he said something about my dick helping to find Cass. And please don't start imagining stuff but I want to ask what did he mean by that."
"Are you thinking you fucking someone is gonna get him to know the person?" Cassandra said all confused now. It's well written in her expression.
"I don't know."
"You fucked a girl in my house! How many times I'm I suppose to tell you to stop that shit." Karen said coming downstairs.
"I'm sorry but more to the point."
"Sorry isn't gonna cut it here young man but if what he said is true then I need to run some test on you and whoever this girl is." This is gonna be embarrassing.
"Mom it's Cassandra." Sandra said. Something tells me this is some kinda of payback for the argument I won against her. Karen looks stunned and Cass's face is flushing. Her good girl image is so gone in the eyes of Karen but there are more important things than that.
"Oh really." Karen says still staring at Cass. I expected it after all she knows what I'm capable of.
"This isn't the first time they've done it." Sandra said excitedly.
"Shut the fuck up Sandra." I said honestly shocked she'd say that and try to tease me with it.
"No swearing." Karen said. "Now come let's go on with this test."
We went in to the lab. After two hours we left for some scans to be taken place on her computer. Sandra was making lunch for us while Karen was scolding Cass and I about the stuff we did and telling us stuff we already know. After having lunch I went on another search for Ava. I wasn't even able to eat well because of her so it's no surprise when I went to find her the moment I was done. The coordinates the invisible man gave us lead to some warehouse that didn't have anything inside. I've roamed around the continent during the past week looking for this girl maybe gone to some parts of Europe but no luck.
I suddenly stop.
I must have been thinking so hard because I didn't see the person in front of me. That's why I stopped but the person I stopped in front of without a mask didn't look phased instead it was a smirk that was on his face and a look that says "I- expected- you- to- come." Why the fuck does he look so familiar?
"I knew I'd see you after the fire." He said. After the fire? Does that mean it's him that was there that day. No, it can't be him. The man was much taller and had a much deeper voice than him. The person standing in front of me is a teenager maybe same age as me and his not even taller than me infact I'm taller than him, a bit.
"Your not the same person that day. That's what's in your mind." I look up at him. "It's written all over your face." I don't believe that. I always have a poker face expression when I'm thinking so you can't know that. "You see I was there that day and I was the one who spoke to you but I'm not. It's kinda weird so I can't explain my abilities even a fellow inhuman like you won't understand so I won't explain."
"What do you want?" I said with a stern voice to act tough while I'm freaking out inside.
"You've looked for Ava long enough. Karen might be able to find her in a few hours even she doesn't Cass is a renowned genius from my perspective so there is no way you won't be able too in a few hours so I'll tell you wear she is. Come to the old woodworm warehouse you'll see her but don't expect to get her back without a mark."t When he said that everything started to feel hazy and a blur. I couldn't move or feel my body by the time I regain myself I realize that the sun is starting to go down.
Was I in that position since noon?
My phone start ringing. I feel reluctant to pick it because heaven knows it's nothing good.
"Hello?"
"Nathan, get to Karen's lab now!"
I get out of the place again running without caring who I hit again. When I get to the lab. What do I find? The dead body of the man who delivered The Psycho's message with his face twisted round like it just went 360 like around his body.
"I think someone twisted head." Karen said.
"But no one can get in here." Sandra said.
"So how did this happen?" I asked really confused now.
"He did it himself." Cass said looking at her phone. I went closer to her and saw she was watching a CCTV footage of the cell in the lab. The man was struggling to stop himself almost like he was killing himself against his will. His hands were moving like they had a mind of their own
"How did you get this?"
"I'm an student in her last year in MIT and seventeen what did you expect?"
"In order words you mean you hacked my lab?" Karen asked.
"Nope."
"Oh thank God."
"I hacked every single device that stays in this house including phone?"
"What?" We all said in unison.
"Don't worry i respect people's privacy." She defended.
"No you don't!" We said again.
"Okay I don't sew me. I did it to make sure we could track everyone if one of us ever got missing. I even manged to hack Ava's phone through the her phone number saved on Sandra's phone so I could track her."
"Did you find her?" Sandra asked.
"No the bastard was wise enough to cut her phone of through what ever missing he used now her phone is every single place in Tennessee like the first fight of flash and Savitar."
"So we have nothing to go on and we have a man that killed himself."
"Not actually?" I say now my head is starting to get hazy.
"What do you mean?"
"I met him."
"Psycho?" Sandra asked worried about the bad news that followed.
"What did he do?"
"Just talked like before and a brief paralysis that leaves me unconscious."
"What did he say?"
"He said they are in the old woodworm warehouse?" Why is it I can't remember what I want and if I'm being honest I don't even know what I want to remember.
"That's not too far."
"One question Nathan." Karen asked.
"Yeah?"
"What does he look like?"
"I don't know!" That's what I've been trying to remember. I can't put a face to someone I just met few hours ago. What the fuck did he do. Any time I try to remember it gets all foggy. I don't even remember any part of the conversation except from this words. "Come to the old woodworm warehouse you'll see her but don't expect to get her back without a mark."
This guy is starting to become a bit scary. I am pretty sure he's the reason for this man's death.
"You don't know what he looks like."
"I remember him telling me her location but then it all gets fuzzy and I don't remember anything at all which is crazy."
"What kind of weird shit is this?" Sandra says with utter frustration. Karen doesn't allow swearing so for Sandra to say that means she's way past that.
"We can forget about that right now, we need to find Ava." Cass said
"That's not enough. He's expecting us so we need to come with a plan and we don't know enough about his abilities to do that."
"The woodworm house should have some old functional cameras even though they might be hacked by now I can try and get them back for us to use."
About three hours later I we came up with a plan turns out Ava was really there and some guys were there. The plan was simple and straight forward. I go one on one with the guards. Ava alerts the police of the criminal whereabouts and Sandra and Karen sneak in from the back door to get Ava. The reason was this in case all those guys were inhumans and Psycho happens to be among them I could distract them while the others snuck in from the back and by the time the police come there will be double the help.
When we get to the front of the warehouse we go over the plan again.
"We've called the police so it shouldn't be more than five minutes before they get here seeing as how there's a station a couple of blocks away from here." Cassandra said.
"Okay."
"God's speed Nathan. Let this shit be fast."
"You know that's my specialty babe." I said then zoomed of to the warehouse. When I get in I start knocking down the guys in the place tactically buying time for the others there were some with abilities but none could keep up with the power of speed. I could have just gotten Ava but there again was him in the hood with the smirk on his face. I was done with the others. What a was left was him and a couple of guys.
"Take her back the other way." There was something about his composure made me know that he knew. When the others were far from ears reach I started.
"You know the others are going the other way."
"I know."
"So why send them there?"
"Cassandra might be a genius but I don't think she could beat them."
"You shouldn't underestimate."
"I guess I shouldn't."
"The police are gonna be hear soon but you know that."
"I don't think so."
"What do you mean?" I smell something fishy.
"You know I'm ten steps ahead of you right?"
"I think it's pretty obvious. I'm pretty sure you've planned this entire scene."
"Your really observant." He pauses whether he was deciding what to say to me. "Brother."
"What is that suppose to mean? We aren't related in any way."
"Oh we are. In a lot more ways than you know but I don't need to say too much." There's silence for a brief period and trust me this was starting to get tensed and scary a bit. I heard gunshots outside but no screams so I was sure that the girls weren't hurt but that doesn't guarantee much.
"You said I had planned this entire scene. Yes, I have. So for this scene I want to show you my ability." He said. Everything that wasn't attached to the building or ground was floating in air. The next second they all lunched towards me. A normal or average inhuman would be dead but I dodged it all without stressing. I ran coming towards him in different directions but something either wood or a trash can would block me so I couldn't hit him. I thought coming from different directions would stop him but it didn't even slow him down and he wasn't even moving. What kind of ability is this; levitation. I've even tried vibrating my way through the obstacles to shove my hand through his hand. This was really stressful.
"You're really tough."
"Was that it? Was that all you have to offer? I thought you put up a nice show." Was he mocking me or just trying to make me mad.
"Oh yeah. What can you do? You haven't put a dent on me and you said we ain't going home without a mark but look at me I'm as fresh as tomato."
"You don't really want to know what I can do."
"I bet I would love to taste."
"If you say so." Immediately my legs become numb and I'm on the ground.
"Great another set of paralysis then you make me unconscious."
"Do you just limit my ability to paralysis. Have you forgotten I made that dude kill himself. Sent two officers to a coma and made you lose your memory not to talk of the way I find out about Ava's and Cassandra's every move. I think it's time I showed you those are baby tricks compared to what I can really do." He said and my arms immediately raise by them selves or by my partial command even though I didn't want them doing that. I'm floating in the air the next second. My body is twisting and pushing it's self out of place. I can literally feel all the muscles in my body trying to push my organs. IT HURTS LIKE FUCK.
The next sound I hear from my spine is the kind of crack that let's you know it's dislocated and broken at the same time
"ARGHHHHH!"
"What. . . Are. . . You. . . DOINGGGGG!?" It hurts. It hurts like hell I can hear every part of my body shifting cracking or breaking.
"You said you would love a better taste. So don't scream enjoy it. Do you know how many different scenarios I calculated just for this to get to this stage?"
Is this even possible? Is he human or god?
A rod starts floating in the air and pierces my arm after that multiple rods follow all not hitting any of my vital organ but staying in between my body. Even if I don't die from the stabbing I'm as sure as hell gonna die from bleeding. It's as if there's another mind with my mind controlling my brain and the last thing I hear is "Don't worry I won't kill you now so don't worry. Bye brother." Then the rods that stabbed me left my body and a loud thud of my body slamming the ground before going to the flames of hell.
