Noah activated his powers.
The ground shook violently as the entire facility rearranged itself. Walls shifted, corridors warped, and exits sealed shut. Entrances collapsed into solid barriers.
The military officers were trapped.
The door to the control room vanished entirely.
Noah's power—Trick Room—sealed anyone caught inside. The space itself obeyed his will.
Carol activated her ability next.
Panic spread instantly.
Some officers gasped for air, others collapsed, clutching their heads. A few screamed without realizing why. Fear, confusion, despair—emotions twisted beyond control.
Carol's gift twisted emotions at their core
What once worked on a single target now affected multiple targets, due to her hard work
Together, they were a formidable duo.
Their abilities didn't just coexist—they complemented each other perfectly.
Silas PoV:
I was in awe of their abilities, they were dangerous—if used correctly they can also be used as offensive abilities .
Eleanor didn't look surprised. She signalled me. I teleported us outside Noah's range.
"You weren't surprised?" I asked.
"We trained together", she replied " Though we are not close, we still know everything about our abilities."
"Oh."
"Since this is your first mission if you don't wish to kill, I won't force you."she began.
"It's alright. I replied "I don't want you to do everything yourself either"
She studied my face looking for uncertainties, after a moment she nodded in.
Two guards stood at the main gate, unaware of our presence. Eleanor slipped through the shadows, slicing one man's neck cleanly.
I opened a portal and snapped the other guard's neck.
It was the first time I killed without a reason.
It was quick—nothing like I had imagined.
I didn't feel anything. I wished I did, but there was nothing.
Eleanor stood still, staring at the corpse, as if trying to memorize the guard's face.
Noah's PoV
Every thing was a mess inside - it was all pure chaos.
Some of the guards were still in Carols control ,while some broke few from her control. One of the officer probably used his ability, jamming all of the signals.
We were trapped inside just like the military officers. We proceeded according to the plan . I sent some of our men to exterminate the military officers. In one of the rooms an officer used his ability the room building flashed before the power went off .
Noah pushed harder to gain control over the situation the power came back , but the officers were not visible in the camera. One of his weakness is that he can't see the people inside the rooms without cameras.
I glanced at Carol , she immediately sensed the people within the building with her ability .
She tried to push through and control the officer. 2 of the officers fell into her trap.
The started Shreiking scratching the walls . Their claw marks along with their smeared blood were visible to the camera.
Noah immediately shifted the room the members were towards the officers room. The members immediately shot them.
"It seems only the cameras aren't picking the enemy."Noah said. "Looks like the enemy can control electricity. We are at the control room I am sure the enemy knows it too. My ability can only stall them for a while. Carol take control over them."
Carol nodded without losing her cool.
The power went again, I was pushed to my limits bringing the power back. As the power came back 2 of our men lay dead . They were using our tactics against us. They also plan to psychologically torture us . The power went off again. I didn't fix it immediately. "Carol control them."
The officers screamed and screeched. Our members became alert this way. I brought the electricity back 2 of our men and one of their men, lost their life.
Carol suddenly took control of the situation. She forced 2 of the officers to commit suicide . Her actions were helpful to us so I let her be.
I shifted the rooms again, I hid all of the cameras-removed all electronics. As expected the soldiers appeared back on the camera. Carol started using her power on individuals. She made them attack each other, all while having a smile.
Sometimes it makes me wonder what exactly is going through her head. I decided that Id follow suite. I started separating the officers who were together, walls emerged out of nowhere. I made a wall crush a soldier.
It honestly made me feel used. Even if I didn't want to I had to. This is exactly the reason why people like Carol and Silas confuse me.
One of the ability user in the opposite side started smashing the walls. I removed the floor he was standing on, he fell down meeting his death.
Eleanor and Silas returned. Eleanor looked exhausted — emotionally, but Silas he scared me.
Eleanor and Silas also joined inside my trick room.
" hey" Carol called. "Can I make Eleanor indifferent, it would give better results."
Those words genuinely made my stomach twist. How can she talk about her own comrades like that.
"Stop it!! Don't bring in unnecessary drama. How can you talk about her as if she's your pawn. You know she hates it."
"It would improve our results don't you think."
" I am not sure if I would need that kind of results. I allowed you to do whatever you wanted, just don't cross the limits"
"Okay" she just accepted it without questioning any further.
I continued my work ignoring her. Our relationship wasn't good to make small talks .
I always felt that she controlled emotions but never truly understood them. That's honestly sad. The three of us were trained personally by the boss, and she was his first student, she was in the organisation since she was 6 years old.
So honestly, I can only pity her.
The ventilation in the control room rattled violently. Someone was inside. My stomach dropped.
The ventilation burst open. Carol immediately used her power towards the direction. I was able to hear the screams from the inside. I proceeded to control the trick room ,while Carol took a gun shot the person in.
I noticed that the movement of the military became strange. It was all strangely coordinated. "They shouldn't be able to communicate." I mumbled
Eleanor's PoV;
I felt watched constantly. Someone was following us. Something was amiss, I can feel it, they are communicating somehow. Only people with no abilities were dead. Clearly the report said there were gifted individuals.
" We should go back, something's not right" I said to Silas and the men following.
