“…And by the looks of it, they’re not too far away from you.” A woman’s voice said in Ben’s earpiece as he made his way through the thicket. “Great! I think they stopped, you better get going Ben before Wilso—crap!” Tia exclaimed before shouting directions at the others with her in the Command Room, obviously frustrated at the problem that arose.

“Hey Rookie, what’s going on?” Ben asked as he gave a slight glance towards where the others were as he wondered how the situation was going. “Are the others okay?”

“Yeah, but I feel like they’re planning something but I’m not sure what. However that’s not important right now. The bug is disconnected Ben. I cannot track them.”

“Wilson?” Ben asked as he picked up his speed in the direction he knew that the group was last located. 

“Maybe.” Tia said hesitantly. “However, something about this seems off. If it was him, he would have just—you know what, never mind. We don’t have time for me to explain this. We need to find them. The last known coordinates was towards the south of you. Keep heading there and maybe, if we are lucky, you’ll find them or at least traces of them which you’ll be able to follow.

A hiss of pain escaped the doctor’s mouth as he climbed over a fallen tree stump. Seat belted into the van, Dr. Wilson knew that he was fortunate enough to escape getting more injured than he was. Mumbling under his breath on how he wished one of the others would have went after the Charlies, the older man hobbled through the thicket as he looked for any traces that would lead him to the his target, or better yet find Ben before either of them reached the group.

“How’s it going Doc?” An upbeat voice said through his earpiece. Although the young Garret’s voice irritated him at times, Wilson was always surprised on how upbeat he could be even during situations such as these which always caused him to wonder if the man was someone that kept an outward demander for the world to see or if was actually serious in the way he act. 

“Splendid Garret, just splendid” Wilson said sarcastically. “I’ve did a number on my knee and who knows what else during the crash and here I am chasing down these Charlies.”

“Well, not to bug you or anything but we’re nearly done here so you better find the Charlies so we can make our escape.”

“Alright, alright. I’ll find them when I do and not a moment sooner.”

“What in the world—“Jenna mumbled looking dumbfounded as a sand figuring materialized and quickly made its way to help man with his injury. “That’s pretty neat I have to say.” The woman said as she watched the doll disintegrated into sand. From the incidences that have been happening during the past week, a man being able to teleport and another being able to stretch like rubber, Jenna didn’t feel like she could get any more freaked out about the strange happening that have occurred, although the figurine’s shape being a cute little doll mostly helped her accept the situation. Maybe with enough boldness and courage she could accept everything that was going on and who knows, if both groups are so keen on claiming her and the others maybe they would do something to defend themselves from them until they are able to find out what exactly was going on. 

However as she looked around the group and at the condition they were in, she knew accepting help from one of the groups was necessary, even if consequences were to follow. Both groups seemed to have people like her and the others so maybe they could help them figure out what was happening and maybe, if things were able to work out, she could learn to control the random incidences that have been happening to her. 

“You know, we can’t just stay here and I don’t think we can keep running.” Jenna said looking towards most of the group as she averted her gaze towards the bloodied woman on the ground. “Who can we trust? I think I can trust all of you but what about them? Just hearing the bits and pieces I’ve heard from both groups have me confused on who’s trustworthy.”

“Well I’m not saying you have to trust me—.” A new voice said breaking into the conversation. 

Looking surprised at the newcomer, Jenna was a bit surprised she didn’t hear the man approach the group but with the way the group was in shambles, it wasn’t fully out of the question why she missed him.

“However I am a doctor and these people, if not all of you need medical attention.” The old man said keeping a slight distance between him and the group to show he had no intentions of doing anything sudden to them. “Heh, I guess that includes me as well.”

“Come with us tonight, if not a week and let us help you. Those injuries need help and you’ll need time to recuperate as well. After that you can decide if you want to stay with us. We’ll keep the doors open but I want to tell you all, we just want to help out fellow Supers. Give us a week, get better and let us explain everything and then do whatever you like. Just give us a chance.”
