James and Martha had arrived at the residence. Martha cried all night yesterday because she didn't want to leave her husband's side. James had trouble sleeping last night because he could hear her sobbing.
It was already daylight, and James was anticipating the arrival of some family members to comfort her. When they arrived last night, the majority of the locals who knew Carlos Edward, came to comfort her after learning the dreadful news. Carlos was around fifty-seven years old, and Martha Edward, who was now widowed, was about fifty-four.
When James heard a knock, he started to move towards the door. A stunning woman was standing in front of James as he opened the door. She stood about 5'10" tall. Her skin was radiant and very alluring. When James first began to lustfully gaze at her, he was unaware that she was wearing a red sheath dress that nearly revealed her cleavage.
Edmund Theodore told James: "James, she is incredibly attractive".
James reacted to Edmund by saying, "Yes, I can agree with you."
Good morning, sir. Is Martha Edward inside, please? The lovely lady spoke in a nice voice.
Edmund THEODORE remarked to James, "Oh my God bro, she even have a sweet voice."
James said to the woman in front of him, "Yes, she is.
The woman addressed him and said, "May I come in, I am a close friend of this family."
James let her in; it wasn't his home to prevent anyone from entering. James assumed that this woman was one of Martha's relatives because she had told him that most of them would be at the house today.
*******
At a military base underground, were two soldiers that where talking to a commander.
"Sir, we really saw him fly" said one of the soldiers. The two soldiers there were one of the few soldiers that had handcuffed James that day in the hospital.
"That's good another meta human, we need more" said the commander. "where you guys able to track him down?"
"Yes sir, we did, he lives in New York, we were able to track his location. He lives with a family, we don't know if that is his family or not" said one of the soldiers.
"Go and bring him here, do whatever it takes" the commander said to them.

Back at Martha's house, Miller had just arrived home and had met his mother and they both comforted each other.
When Miller had arrived at his parents house at night, when he knocked the door. The first person he saw was James.
"Who the hell are you?" he asked James. "my name is James Theodore and i believe you are Miller Edward" James had actually seen pictures of Miller at the house, so when he saw the twenty three years old looking boy in front of him, he knew who he exactly was.
"He did not ask for your name, he only asked who the hell you were?" Edmund said to James.
"is it not the same thing" James replied back to Edmund a little offended. Edmund with his rude attitude did not give James a reply with offended James even more.
"You always pretend like my questions are rhetoric, why!" James shouted in his head.
"just leave me alone, i have a lot on my mind" Edmund replied to James.
James knew Edmund was lying but he did not press further.
"how did you know my name and why are you in my parents house" Miller said to the strange a Little confused. When miller had asked the stranger in front of him who he was, he never expected the stranger to know his name.
"It's a long story but your mom is inside, she has been waiting for you" James said as he left the door so that Miller could come in. Miller came into the house with a bag on his shoulders and when he came in the first person he went to meet was his mom.
Some relatives were still in the house and so was that beautiful lady that James had admired. After most of them had left the house including the beautiful lady, only JAMES, Miller and Martha were inside the house. Miller was the one who made dinner for them that night. Martha had instructed James to make dinner for them. But he couldn't, he did not know how to cook or maybe he knew and he had forgotten with all his memories.
Miller's mom had told Miller about James, how he has no memory and how he is going to stay with them for a long time until he recovers his memory or he decides to leave. Miller did not like James one bit. Martha left the part of James super human abilities.
They were done eating at the dinning table, James watched the dishes, while Miller was comforting his mother. James did really feel bad for Martha, although James did not know much about Carlos, he still did not wish him death.
*******
It was the next morning and as usual James was doing his normal chores like milking the cows and working on the farm.
"Good morning" Edmund told James.
"I taught you had a lot on your mind that you didn't want to talk to me" James replied to Edmund. James didn't want him and Edmund to get into a misunderstanding, because to him Edmund was the one person who could feel what he felt and is in the same shoes as he is.
The police had arrived at Martha's house to ask her a few questions concerning her husband. They asked her if she knew if her husband had a misunderstanding with anyone or if he told her anything that could lead them to the victim.
The police officer had gone to the eatery were it all happened and had asked several people questions who were there at the day of the incident. The only description they got from the people was that an unknown man who was dressed in Black and also looked like a Japanese ninja killed the Carlos.
They had no idea why Carlos was killed, this was all the information the police had and they had informed Martha, it was like the more Martha heard the name or her husband, the more tears came out of her eyes.
The police officer who was in charge of the case was Patrick. He was six foot tall and a black man, he had a flat belle and a broad chest. Patrick had pity on the wife of Carlos, he knew beforehand how it felt to lose someone you love.
Patrick had left the house and had given Martha his number to call him whenever she got more information to give.
Night has fallen and James had not slept yet, he was just walking around the farm, Miller was looking at James from a distance, even miller had not slept. Miller did not like Janes one bit.
Miller then tought it would be better to face James and interrogate him, because from what his mother had told him, James only appeared two days before their father died at their house. 'who knows if he was a spy' Miller thought to himself.
Miller had now approached James, Martha was in deep sleep, she was crying until she slept off.
"Hello, James is that correct" Miller asked James who was in front of him. James back was facing Miller so James had to turn his back to look at Miller.
"Yes, Hey Miller how are you" James said to Miller as he turned and realized it was Miller that was talking to him.
"What are you looking for in our house?" Miller said to James in a demanding manner.
"what the fuck does he think he is?" Edmund said inside James's head.
"please i don't understand the question" James asked Miller, ignoring what Edmund had said.
"i said what are you doing in our house, you happened to arrive her two days before my father died!". Miller said to James this time shouting.
"this boy should not shout at us" Edmund said in James head.
James did not want any trouble, so he ignored Miller. He just walked passed him.
As James passed Miller, it was like an offence and an insult to Miller and Miller moved his hand backward to hit the back of James head. While the arms were still in the air, James could sense the arms coming toward his direction without even turning his head. When James turned his head to look at what gave him such feeling, he could see Miller's hand coming to his direction and it was moving so slow to him, James then held miller arm. Unknown to James he had super senses and super speed.
Everything happened so fast to Miller, it was as if immediately he raised his hands to hit James, James had immediately reacted at the right time stopping the attack from hitting him.
"you are a meta human" Miller said to James as he shifted a little bit backward.
"Who the fuck is a meta human?" James asked Edmund in his head.
"I was also about to ask you the same thing, or Maybe we can ask the kid" Edmund replied to James.
"who is a meta human?" James asked Miller.
Miller was a little scared so he did not reply. Miller could go toe to toe with an average person, but a meta human was out of his match.
"Please i am sorry, i would keep your existence from the government, Don't kill me, i am the only son of my parents and the only one my Mother has" Miller was now feeling guilty for attacking James.
James was looking at him confused. James understand nothing that was going on around him.
James was still looking at Miller who now on his knees begging for his life, then suddenly a large wind came and it had hit James right at the face. James could not react to the wind because it was even faster than himself.
Miller who was kneeling at the floor, then turned his head to look at what had done that to James. When he turned his head backwards to look what was behind him. He saw an officer. Not just a regular office, but an Anti-Meta Human soldier. These were the soldiers responsible for capturing Meta humans. The Government had made it known to the public that Meta humans were illegal beings on the planet. They did not refer to them as humans, in some states, Meta humans were referred to as Mutants.
Mutants or Meta humans, whatever they were called, they could only be legal if they submitted to the government by either working as an Anti-Meta human soldier or soldiers that were sent by the government to go to unknown planet and bring information for the government, any mutant or Meta human that did not fall under these two categories where deemed as illegal and sometimes their punishment was death.
When the large amount of air had hit James in the face, it sent him flying backward. Immediately James fell on the floor, Edmund had taken over the body. Edmund who wanted James to know that he had taken over the body called him out in his head: "James! James! James THEODORE".
"What is it...why can't i feel my body" James said as he gained consciousness, but this time he could now feel what Edmund was feeling, he was only conscious and could feel what Edmund was doing, but yet could not command the body because Edmund was in control.
"It is not your body, you fool, it belongs to us like i said, i just shouted your name so that you would know that i can also gain control of this body" Edmund said to James.
"Let's change back" James said.
"No" Edmund retorted angrily.
While James was talking to Edmund inside their head. Edmund was actually replying to him out loud and this confused both the Miller and the officer. Miller was happy that an officer was here to save him.
Miller had the belief that almost all mutants where bad.
But the question is? Is James and Edmund really Mutant or something extra-ordinary made them this way.
"Hey, The officer shouted at Him snapping him out of the argument between him and James. "surrender now so that i can take you or bear the consequences"
"That doesn't sound pleasant to me, and that was almost thesame thing that other soldiers said when they wanted to take us at the hospital, the other day" James said to Edmund. "don't let him take us".
"And if i don't surrender what are the consequences" Edmund said to officer.
The officer smiled and then made two crescent kicks into the air and two large wind followed those kicks. The wind moved fast and both of them had hit Edmund before he could react.
When the wind hit Edmund and he fell on the floor, it boosted his anger. When he stood up, he could hear the man saying: "you can give up and just follow me"
Edmund was now anger and he could feel his body temperature increase. His body was now generating heat. "i can feel that heat again" Edmund told James.
"That's good" James replied. "Now save us"
"Yeah" said Edmund.
Instead of heat generating evenly across his body, he felt the heat intensify in his eyes and unknown to both James and Edmund, their eyes had turned red and it was as if fire was about to erupt from their eyes. "Our eyes it burns me" Edmund said to James.
The officer immediately seeing this knew what it meant and had told Miller to leave and the officer had sent more five kicks to the air and so did the air around him move towards Edmund. But this time, It did nothing, because before the air moved closed to Edmund, he had released his heat vision from his eyes.
The heat vision was very fast and it hit the officer on his chest, luckily for the officer he had a protective suit that protected him from the fight, if not he would have sliced him instantly. After Edmund brought out the heat vision from his eyes, his body temperature decreased and he was now unable to make it again.
Miller was watching the fight from a distance, he was curious to know how powerful James was, He was now walking a little closer to see the fight clearly, although the officer had told him to leave the place, he did not listen.
"i can't generate heat anymore" Edmund said inside his head to James.
"If you can't generate heat how do you expect us to fight this guy" James replied.
"i don't know" Edmund said.
The officer was now running towards Edmund and at the same time, the officer had brought out at a little square orange device. When he got close to Edmund he did kicked the air around him moving it towards Edmund, he did again and again until Edmund had fallen on the floor.
When Edmund fell on the floor, he switched control with James.
NOTE: None of them wanted to switch control, it happened subconsciously.
James then tried standing up, but before he could stand up, the officer punched him in the face. The officer was now punching James in the location of his eyes trying to blind James. He also injured most part of James legs so that James would not walk, he broke his right leg and also injured most part of James body.
"If i blind your eyes, let me see if you can perform those heat vision of yours, YOU RAT!!!" he shouted as he kept on punching James. James blood was now all over the place and James had also fainted again. His eyes had been damaged beyond repair, his nose had changed its shape and his mouth had several little bruises.
On this Earth, mutants were harder to kill; their bodies were more resilient than those of average humans. So the officer knew that punching James very hard would not kill him.
"you shouldn't have not done that" Miller said to the officer as he was running to check up on James. When Miller saw James he immediately threw up on the floor. Some parts of James skull had been fractured, for a second he thought James was dead, but he then saw James hand moving.
Edmund was now in control of the body, Edmund and James both fell the pain of the punch. Edmund tried to move their body but the body was so weak, he could only move his fingers, it was like he could no longer command his body any longer.
"i told him he would bear the consequences so don't blame me" The officer said to Miller a little offended by the question.
The officer then pressed a button in a little square orange device, it was a teleportation device. Miller knew that since James had come to their house, he had done no harm and was even working for them for free, most mutants won't do that. If James was a good mutant he should not be taken to be executed. Miller knew that they would be teleported to the place where James would be executed for not complying with what the officer had told him earlier. Miller felt a desire to save James and so he immediately dragged the teleporter from the man's hand and moved backwards a little bit.
Anti-meta officer where not given the right to touch normal humans no matter what, So the officer could not do anything, if it was James, the officer would have sent winds against him, but miller was an average human.
"don't do anything funny" the officer commanded Miller as he was walking forward slowly. His main plan was to take the device from Miller and then immediately teleporter with James.
"don't move closer" Miller said as he raised the device with his hand indicating that if the officer moves any closer, he would throw it on a stone that was just underneath him.
"you don't know what you are messing with" the officer said.
"i bet i do" Miller said, and as he threw the device on the floor, a red light came out of the device, the light covered both Miller, the officer and James/Edmund who was still lying on the floor. The light then disappeared along with the three people it had covered, signifying that they had been teleported...
