Paul stared at the girl who had just introduced herself as Claire, "What are you talking about?" a multitude of questions were swirling around Paul's head at this point Claire groaned "Like I said, I'm an agent of Baka" Paul grunted "That's what I mean! What's this Baka?" Claire had a realization look on her face, "Oh, yeah, you wouldn't know would you" she laughed in ebrassment and rubbed the back of her head. "Well, to start, Baka is an organization that deals with people like you" Paul scratched his head, "People, like me, what do you mean?" Claire raised a finger like a teacher would, "You, are what's know as a Baka" Paul had a confused look on his face. "Guess I should, simplify shouldn't I?" Paul nodded.
Claire cleared her throat, "Well, basically, A Baka, is a person who has the potential to use almost supernatural powers" Paul gave an understanding nod "And you" she pointed at him "Have awakened to you Baka power" Paul's face returned to one that of confusion. Claire sighed, "You know, that power you used to blow away the semi that was about to crush your bones" a lightbulb clicked in Pauls head, Claire smirked "Get it now?" Paul nodded "So, your saying that the power I used, is this thing called Baka?" Claire nodded. Paul stared at his open palms, "Don't worry, if you just come with me-" Claire was cut off "Woah, when did I say I was coming with you?" Claire gave an annoyed look "Uhm,when I was down there, saving your ass" she placed her hand on her hips.
Paul grunted, "That was because I had no choice, now, I don't have to do what you say" Claire's eye seemed to twitch in anger "Listen punk, I risked alot to get you out of here" Claire started to walk towards Paul a scowl on her face. Paul started to back up, "I saved your ass, you should owe me, now, be a good boy an come with me" Claire kept coming towards Paul who was still backing away "No, I don't want to go with you" Claire gritted her teeth "Listen kid, you won't be able to fit in with normal people anymore" Paul stopped dry. "What do you mean?" Claire stopped, she saw she had Paul's attention, "Well, since your Baka powers have awakened, other Baka power users will be drawn to you" Paul clenched his fists. "You mean, there are others with powers like mine?" Claire nodded "They'll come to fight you when you least expect it" Paul had begun to sweat.
"Anybody you come into contact with will be in danger, do you want that to happen?" Paul gritted his teeth "N..No" Claire smirked "Then, come with me, that way you won't put people you care for in danger" Paul shook his head "No, I said I'm not going with you!" Claire clicked her tounge "If you don't come willingly" Claire took what seemed like a combat stance. "I'll make you come by force" Paul's eyes went wide "No, I don't want to go with you, I don't want to join your organization" just then, Paul felt a strong force in his abdomen. He couldn't believe what he saw, in just a short amount of time Claire, had gotten over to him and landed a firece punch into his gut Paul stumbled back holding his stomach trying not to throw up his breakfast. "Now, if you don't want anymore you'll come with me" Paul stumbled back a bit more barely being able to stand up, he looked up at Claire he coughed, "I'm, not going with you" Paul took a ragged breath Claire clicked her tounge in annoyance.
"This would have been less painless if you would have just listened" Claire's eyes took an almost killer look that froze Paul to the bone, Claire cracked her knuckles "I guess now, I have to drag you back to Baka" Paul flinched and again in a blink, Claire vanished and Paul was kicked in the side. Paul was sent careening to the ground, the stone blocks of the rooftop of the police station didn't feel good, Paul slowly lifted himself up, he wobbled a bit, he was never one for fights he caught a glimpse of Claire walking towards him. She pulled her leg back, and kicked Paul right in his abdominal reigon lifing him off the ground a bit, Paul groaned in pain as he layed on the cold stone rooftop "Had enough, I rather not rough you up too much" Paul slowly turned his head and looked at Claire. "I told you before, I'm not, going with you!" Claire seemed to snap, "That's it, I don't care anymore, I'll drag you back broken" a swicth seemed to have been flipped in Claire.

Before Paul could even react, he got a swift kick to the head, sending him skating across the stone rooftop, Claire walked over to him she reached down and grabbed his shirt collar, she lifted him up from off the ground, Paul could see the anger on her face with his one open eye, the other was shut closed from the kick to the head he had just gotten. Paul felt his life was in danger, "Please, stop" he begged but, Claire was beyond the point of stopping from Paul's begging as he got a quick punch to the face, Claire let go of his shirt collar and the force of her punch sent Paul to the ground. Claire grumbled "You should have come quietly" she walked forward "No, please,stop, leave me alone" Paul quickly got up from the ground holding his side, nothing worked, Claire was still coming towards him.
"No, please, leave me alone" Claire kept coming, "Leave me alone.." Paul mumbled, a scared expression came to his face "Leave me alone..." he said in a shaky voice "Leave me alone.." suddenly, a image flashed in Paul's head, it was him, at a younger age, a tall shadow loomed before him, he had bruises old and new all over him, "Leave me alone.." the child version of him shouted at the shadow. "Leave me alone.." the shadow kept coming it reached it's dark hands towards Paul, "Leave me alone..." the teenage Paul mumbled shaking, "Leave me alone.." the kid version said the shadow kept coming towards him. With his fear from the image, and from what was happening right in front of him, the two began to meld together at that Paul screamed "LEAVE ME ALONE!!" suddenly, and without warning a Unrelenting Force came from Paul. The sudden shockwave came as a surprise to Claire,"What the!?" she threw her arms up but, that wasn't enough to block the sheer power barreling towards her.
The force sent her flying far back, she smacked into the ledge of the building, she groaned in pain, her spine was on fire "What the hell?" she mumbled staring at Paul who seemed to be just as shocked as she was. Paul saw that he had a chance to run, he jumped up from off the ground, he started running to the edge of the building, he looked down. He saw that he was a good few feet off the ground, he'd die if he'd jump, he heard Claire start to move if he waited she would be on him again, he had to get away, he had no choice. Paul swallowed hard, he crossed himself,he jumped onto the ledge as he stood there looking down he heard Claire running towards him, panicked he jumped without thought, as he fell one thought came to his mind "Oh shit, I'm going to die" he could see the pavement below coming up fast, he wanted to live. Paul had think of something and fast or he'd be roadkill. [Ch.4 END]
