[13th of September, 2011]
[°Seattle°]
3rd Person P.O.V
Strolling through the streets of Seattle, Andrew, John and Illyana walks side by side silently as the latter and pyro curiously looks around since this is their first time here while the former looks around with a calm but nostalgic look while.
He looks up and saw the Space Needle as memories of that night flashed continously in his mind. Though, as he remembered that memory, a sudden thought flashed in his mind..
Matt..
In the original plot of the movie, he was supposed to die after being speared through and Matt managed to fly away at the last second – escaping the police – so if that's the case, then Matt is..
Arriving at that revelation, Andrew rubs his forehead slightly at the idea of that guy still roaming around the world..
While he doesn't really hate Matt that much since he knows that he only did that to protect the people and his city from him. It still doesn't sit right in his mind that there is a person out there – freely wondering – having the same power as him, he couldn't help but thought that the universe might orchestrate some bullshit where Matt – who isn't really that much talented in using his power – become as powerful as him in the future and become the hindrance in his path to the top..
Andrew sighed at that thought but shoved it at the back of his mind eventually as this line of thought will not go anywhere unless he sees Matt right now..
Calming his already calm mind. The three continued walking together silently as they passed numerous places that brought out memories out of Andrew from time to time. They eventually arrived at a street named as "200 S Jackson St."
He was busy reminiscing the place when the blonde–now black–haired woman beside him tapped his shoulder roughly.
Andrew looks at her, waiting for what she wants to say.
Illyana didn't voice out what she wants and just points her forefinger to an establishment that has a logo that says "Fat Shack" and said eventually "I haven't eaten anything for lunch yet so my stomach's already protesting."
Andrew raised an eyebrow at her and then said doubtfully "So? If you want to eat, then eat. I'll just meet you here later after I'm done."
"Yeah, you should just eat." Pyro commented.
Andrew and Pyro turned their back from her and was ready to walk away when the former felt her pulling his clothes. Andrew turned and visible annoyance was written on his face. "What?"
"I didn't managed to bring any money." Illyana replied without shame as if it's the most normal thing.
"Hahaha." Pyro laughed seeing her acting shamelessly.
Andrew took a breath in as he already know where this is going without even using Telepathy, but he still asked for confirmation "So?"
"Let's eat, is what I'm saying, your treat of course.." The russian girl says with a smile–that ticked Andrew–on her face.
"Sigh, fine let's go." Andrew eventually agreed as even though he can now go without food for weeks, he still likes the taste of food.

Thirty Minutes Later
To say that Illyana was hungry was an understatement, the girl was a glutton!.
Not only she ordered some of the ones that Andrew and John chose, she even points and ordered some of those she saw that the other customers was having. Andrew couldn't help but rub his temples as he looks at the girl that has spicy chicken wings sauce all over her chin. It was as if she forgot proper etiquette after leaving the mansion.
Through all that, John was slacked-jawed as this is the first he saw a girl that can eat that much food.
After having their fill and paying the astounded cashier while Andrew and John divided the pay and leaving with the Illyana who has a face full of contentment while rubbing her belly that was surprisingly not even bulging from all the food she ate. The three of them continued their walk.
As they strolled leisurely, the three eventually stops infront of the school that Andrew, Matt and Steve used to attend.
"What are we doing here?" Illyana asked looking at the school. While John was silent as he just looked at the school with an unknown look on his face.
"Have you been inside a high school?" Andrew turned to her.
"No. And I don't need to." Illyana replied.
"You've never been in one? What are you? Tarzan?" John asked in puzzlement but Illyana didn't replied.
"Well, I don't care so let's go inside and take a look." Andrew wasn't having any of her bullshit as he started walking towards the school followed by John, leaving her.
"Tch." Illyana scoffs and pouted as she immediately catched up.
The gates of the grounds of the school doesn't have any security whatsoever so they just walked in.
They strolled through the corridors as they passed some students, some ignored them as they have better things to do, while others looks at them as the males focused their gazes on Illyana.
Illyana scrunched her face in disgust as she saw those looks on the faces of the hormonal teenagers.
John just kept silent but his eyes narrowed at the teenagers.
Though. Andrew who saw all of this looked at one of the student who was sitting and leaning using his hand on a concrete fence. One look from Andrew was enough as the hand that the teenager who was ogling Illyana slipped as he then fell to the thorny garden behind him eliciting a painful shout from him as numerous thorns pierced his skin and stuck on them.
"Pfft.." John tried to stop himself from laughing but was unsuccessful as some of the students who seems to be the friend of the one who fell glared at him.
Andrew also chuckled seeing that but could not help but think about why did he even did that, he was pretty sure that he wasn't that petty after all.. Well he was petty but..
Removing those thoughts away from his mind, he noticed Illyana eyeing him with a suspicious look on her face.
"What?" He feigned innocence.
Illyana remained silent and then removed her gaze and then continued looking at the place curiously.
Andrew chuckled inwardly as they continued walking and they eventually made it to the sports field.
He then saw some students playing football(american one) and he immediately noticed and recognized his past classmates. Specially those that always bullied him..
The three of them sat at the bench while Andrew casually used his Telepathy on a student near them as he took the peanuts that the poor student was eating and couldn't help but be surprised by the toasted flavor of it.
Illyana and John just looked at him silently with a scrutinizing look as Andrew just shrugged his shoulders while popping some of the delicious nuts on his mouth "What? He's a friend from work."
The two then ignored him and looked in their front but a few moments just after watching, the three of them were already bored since all they can see is a group of female students practicing their cheerleading dance steps and a group of hormonal male students just running and slamming at each other for a ball.
Andrew yawned as the two also yawned as if it was contagious while the former thought of something as he looks at his former bully who was jumping from excitement after scoring.
As the next round started and the his former bully started running after the ball with youthful vigor, Andrew looks at the ball that blitzing through the air and it's destination was the bully.
Andrew smirked and willed "it", immediately, the ball that flying to the bully with normal speed suddenly doubled in its velocity and was about to slam at the face of the startled bully. Though, performing a good reaction speed and reflexes, the bully managed to evade the ball that was supposed to smash his face.
"Hey Andrew, was that you?" John immediately thought who can do that and whipped his head to the guy beside him.
Andrew did not answer as a chuckle escape from his lips, the bully who was about to pick up the ball, recoiled as his face was smashed by the unassuming ball at the ground. The force of the impact was so great that the ball even took out few of the students' teeth as his mouth bled profusely.
All the students watching immediately stood up seeing the supernatural event but one of them who was knowledgeable enough quickly shouted "There's a mutant here!"
""HaHaHa."" The three laughed as they quickly left the stadium and the school altogether.

Twenty Minutes Later
The three now stood in front of the used-to-be house of Andrew as he turned to the two beside him "Wait for me here, I'll just visit someone.."
Not waiting for any respond, Andrew walked and arrived at the door, he didn't announce his arrival whatsoever as he just opened it and stepped inside.
He looked at the familiar design of the house that still haven't changed even a dime and saw some pictures hanging at the wall. He saw his mother, "Karen Detmer" and a young him on one frame, he was smiling in the photo while doing a peace sign while his mother is pinching his cheeks with a smile.
In another, he saw the three of them altogether, his mother, himself and his father; Richard Detmer. The three of them looks happy as they all had a big smile on their faces. His blood began boiling after seeing his father in the picture but he was quick to stabilize his emotions.
The psyche of the original Andrew Detmer was so strong that even now, it affects him from time to time aside from the fact that he already had all his qualities and was more Andrew than him being Mikael originally.
He walked for a bit and came on the living room, though, it couldn't be called living room anymore as anywhere he looked, from the corner to the middle of the floor was full of trash and bottles of alcohol.
He settled his gaze to the couch and he saw the lone man who have made him suffer through his adolescent years just because of a fucking injury from him being a firefighter. Through those years, this man always vents to him his frustration and anger at the fact that he was now useless. Andrew took a deep breath to calm his emotion that was beginning to spiral out of control again.
Him inhaling soundly seems to attract the attention of the man who drinking alcohol while lying lazily at the couch watching Tv.
The man turned his weary and beard-filled face to him and asked with voice filled with anger "Who the fuck are you?! What the fuck are you doing here!?"
Andrew didn't reply as his facial features began morphing and twisting disgustingly and a few seconds later, he now sported his original look as he just stood there silently.
Seeing a guy suddenly appearing in your house unannounced was already enough to bring anger to Richard, but seeing the face of the guy suddenly morphing into that of his son immediately removed his anger as shock filled him.
Though, that shock was temporary as he registered the fact that the son of his, the son that was the reason for his Karen's death was back, all alive and kicking, immediately brought back his anger and it even doubled up as hate, utter hate for his son, flooded his mind. "You bastard of a mutie, you're actually alive! This must be some work of the devil!"
Immediately after saying that, Richard moved with speed unnatural for that of a drunk man, as he grabbed under the couch and pulled out.. a shotgun.
'Where did this guy even got that?' Andrew thought curiously, though, he didn't make any move to protect himself as he just stood still.
"DIE!! Hahaha!!" Richard Detmer laughed madly as he lifted the barrel and aimed to his own son who was silent and pulled the trigger.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Richard emptied out all its ammo as he panted breathlessly from the excitement. Now, his mutant son that he was sure wasn't his son and also the reason for the death of his beloved is sure to be dead. He smiled with elation forgetting the fact that Andrew survived being speared through but this kind of things wasn't emerging on his mind right now as he was busy reeling at the fact of being able to kill his accursed son.
Unfortunately, As Richard lifted his head to look at his "son" expecting him to be on the ground, dead, he found him still on his position, standing strongly while still looking at him with those emotionless eyes and expressionless face.
Horror dawned on Richard as he began to remember that his son has some accursed ability and was probably using it to survive being shot at.
"That's it? Are you that dumb thinking I'll die from some bullets? No wonder you got injured from your work." Andrew talked sarcastically while Richard who heard the sentence was filled with anger at the prospect of the bastard who he used to beat to submission would mock him like this.
Though, he wasn't able to utter anymore words as Andrew lifted his hand and infused his psionic energy to the ground and the very earth itself as he effectively gained [Geokinesis] and opened a hole as big as a two human beside the seething Richard.
Richard was then lifted from his position and hovered on the air as realization dawned on him. This mutie is going to bury him. He immediately shouted "Wait wait! Son! I was just joking earlier, I know how powerful you are so I was just testing my own son as I'm very proud of you!"
Andrew raised an eyebrow at his attempt to cling at life and couldn't help but chuckle at his pathetic state. The once mighty and strong man that he used to know from his memories are being erased from this spectacle.
Richard who saw him just chuckling at him couldn't control himself as he shouted with his voice filled with disdain. "You fucking bastard! I shouldn't have had you! No, I shouldn't even had fucked your mother as in that case, my legacy wouldn't be sullied by such an abomination like you."
Andrew heard his full sentence but was only focusing on the part where this bastard was mocking and humiliating his mother that was the only one that was there when all seems to be lost. Andrew felt his blood boiling once again at the sight of this person as he willed it and his psionic energy followed his will as they wrapped around Richard's arms and went into different direction.
Snap! Snap!
A sickening crack resounded throughout the room as Richard who was still bullshitting immediately stopped as his brain registered what just happened.
"ARRRRGHH!!" Richard immediately wailed in pain as he saw his arms bent in different directions, he tried moving them but that seems to worsen the pain as the nerves inside his arms twitched and he felt an ever greater pain.
Andrew felt Illyana and John entering the house and coming into the the living room but didn't make any movement whatsoever to acknowledge them as he just focused on the floating figure in front of him.
—-—
John and Illyana who heard a male shout of pain followed inside Andrew inside the house, defying his words to stay outside.
And as they arrived at the living room, they saw Andrew and an older guy floating in front of him and above a hole having his own arms bending in different direction.
They watched as the guy's fingers began moving as they moved and with a blur, they snapped upwards, breaking them in the process, and eliciting another pained howls from the man.
"ARGHHH!!"
This continued as Andrew seems to have a grudge with the man as he went for the remaining fingers and also did the same to all of them. Next, Andrew went for the feet and at this point, tears and snot have already painted the face of the older guy that Illyana even scrunched her face in disgust while Pyro just stays silent, waiting for the next move of Andrew.
Andrew first gone with the feet as he twisted them all the way to the back and twisted them again essentially coming back to its original look as he did a 360° twist. After finishing with the feet. Andrew then went for the lower leg that was comprised of two bones; Tibia and Fibula. Seeping his psionic energy to that two bones, Andrew covered the inside and outside with psionic energy and seeing if it's enough, he twisted them to each other forming some sort of rope made of bones repeatedly while ensuring they wouldn't break in the process.
At this point, Richard was already unconscious from all the unimaginable pain he was subjected to. This seems to irked Andrew as he finally sighed and decided to end it already. He twisted his neck telekinetically and after doing that he twisted all his limbs to sticked them all to his torso as he placed the body on the man-made hole and restored the ground and the cemented floor flawlessly.
Andrew turned around and looked at his two spectator who was silent throughout the whole show. John swallowed seeing his emotionless eyes looking at them and unconsciously tightened his fist, readying his zippo lighter. Illyana on the hand swallowed for another reason. She looks at Andrew intensely with a look of apprehension in her eyes, though, that emotion wasn't the only one present inside of her eyes as there is something more; something strange that Andrew immediately picked up with his [Empathy]
