"I can't believe I'm saying this but...good job."Kofi said.
She swiped her arm and the ionised oxygen was shot at a tree, burning its bark.
She then said,"But I'm not that good at it yet, for instance, I can only control so large an area and I feel like I've only scratched the surface of this ability."
Kofi looked at her then asked,"So what do you do? Research. I'm not the best person to come to for advice especially academically, but for this, I know you just have to expand your knowledge."
"Actually, you have to as well."
"What are you talking about?"He asked.
"Looking into the far but blurry future, I see that you have a lot of abilities you haven't unlocked yet, the both of you do."She said.
"I don't believe in soothsayers."Kofi said.
"Neither did I, but now I'm the one telling the future and it always comes true."
Kofi smirked then said,"See you later, sunshine."
Then a lightning bolt hit him and he vanished, a new skill he learned which he was going to exploit.
Portia and Skylar looked at the four super powered beasts that Portia had defeated.
Yaa, the Seismare, was in her room, looking out the window, when she felt something itchy in her ear, then immediately, her pupils constricted...
***
Portia was asleep then stirred, in her dream, she saw about thirty blurry people before and around her, in a circle, each having a gem on their chest, of a different colour.
Was she in some kind of cult?!
One stretched their arm then spider webs were shot at her and she screamed then woke up.
What did it mean?
She really wished when she saw into the future or past it would be clearer and more easy to understand, now, she was going to have to ponder over it for days before getting the slightest idea.
She looked around and saw it was midnight, then rolled her eyes and swiped her arm then the clock went forward by several hours.
When it was five- five, no...five o'clock, she got down from her bed then went to brush her teeth when she felt something below her.
By the time she looked down, she screamed as she was pulled through the floor and landed, hard on the floor below.
Before she could react, that same thing pulled her again.
She tried kicking and resisting, but there was nothing to kick.
She then closed her eyes tightly and opened again, in the fourth dimension, but the moment she saw the creature, she fell through the floor, as she normally would have.
The creature stretched its long arms at her but she vanished and appeared above it then fell right through again, she forgot that was how things happened there.
In the three dimensional space of her room, two figures were just appearing, growing bigger, changing shape and disappearing, but back in the fourth dimension, Portia used the nearest thing to her to make a bed for her, magnesium...gas.
In this dimension, it seemed, magnesium was a gas, a noble gas at that, she could tell by how difficult it was to ionise.
She used the gas to propel herself upwards and keep from falling, then stretched her hand at the creature whose arms where shot at her, then appeared back in her room, with a screeching creature's arms stuck through the ceiling.
She teleported it down then zapped it with as much electricity as she could make and control, till it passed out.
She took a deep breath then got another vision, then took the feather string out of the creature's ear then it changed into a young boy...Allen?
He was one of her roommates from the orphanage, he recently turned fourteen by the time she left and bonded with a Formless Blob.
Formless Blobs were shape shifters which originally looked like fluids which could take the shape of anything they had touched before and all its abilities.
They retained this ability till they forgot how the thing actually looked, which could take centuries and bound to a human with their brains to back it up, they basically never forgot.
She just wondered why someone would control that kid, he was really rebellious...well, apart from to the person who recently controlled him.
She then felt a thudding on the floor and gasped when she literally looked through the wall to see, dozens of Symbiotes coming towards the mansion...
***
Portia was about to run out of the room when she saw Allen lying on the floor, unconscious then touched him and he vanished.
She gasped when she saw this and looked for him in several different places in the fourth dimension, but he was gone.
Tears welled up in her eyes as she ran out of the room and met everyone in the family, awake and looking at the scene.
The Seismare pointed towards the mansion and everyone looked at Portia, then one of Skylar's aunties said,"Give her to them!"
"What?!"Skylar yelled.
He stood in front of her with two of his wings outstretched to defend her when the woman said,"They clearly want her and are definitely too powerful for us so..."
"Say too powerful for yourself! I'm willing to protect her with my life!"Skylar said, determined.
"Skylar..."
He looked at Portia, who then said,"They want me and no one else, let me go."
"Don't listen to them, I'm not letting you go."He said.
"But I must listen to them, all these people could die if we decided to fought back, we could barely defeat Jack, how do you expect us to defeat all of them?"
"They aren't like Jack Portia."
"Yes they are, one just attacked me."
He widened his eyes then asked,"What?"
"Don't worry, I'm fine but if you want your family safe, you'll have to let me go, you could come and save me later."
He slowly nodded as she kissed his forehead, then flew out the window.
She got to the Symbiotes that stood more than a kilometre from the mansion, except for the Seismares who were much farther, then said,"Take me, but leave them alone."
An Impundulu (lightning bird) flew up to meet her then said,"We don't only want you, we want your boyfriend too."
"What?! Stay away from him!"
"I don't think you have the benefit of giving the orders here, come with your boyfriend or we'll kill everyone in that mansion and this city, no one will escape."It said.
She began breathing heavily then, with tears in her eyes, reached out to Skylar mentally, and apologized for her weakness, but told him everything.
Skylar took two steps forward then his aunt asked,"Where are you going? They only wanted her!"
He flew off without a word, with his wings burning red.
He reached Portia's side and took her hand then said,"I'm ready to die for and with you, Portia."
She smiled as a Bottomless Toad swallowed the both of them and Aeric yelled Skylar's name, almost injuring everyone around him just to save his brother, but he was held back and pinned down, by everyone...
