My heart felt like it was being pulled from my chest, then pushed back in, over and over again. We were moving through walls and buildings at the speed of light.

“Wherererere arrrrrrere weeeeaa goooooeiing???”

I managed.

“Far far away from here,”

he said in a calm voice. Apparently he does this speed of light thing a ton because it didn't seem like it was affecting him.

After another minute we abruptly stopped.

“What is it?”

I asked.

“I didn't fully introduce myself… my name is Dane.”

“oh um… cool.”

i said awkwardly.

“Oh and someones following us,”

He added.

“Wait… they could only follow us if... all of those other people can travel at the speed of light too?!”

I said. 

“No, only your father can.”

He said, like that was supposed to help me. I had never known my father. He had disappeared when I was little. Or maybe the day I got my memory taken away I just forgot.

“I don't remember my father,”

“No shit you don’t. He removed all memory you have of him leaving you when you were young. Anyway y’know that guy who was talking on the loudspeaker?”

“yea,”

I responded,

“Is he my dad?”

“No, your dad is his assistant. You and your father both have extraordinary powers beyond anything you can imagine,” 

we started moving again while he talked,

“He has just had years of experience harnessing them. The Boss captured your dad and was going to torture you and your mom if he didn't join us. That was enough to get him. So he left you guys, and got transferred here. He can't use his powers to full capacity because they put a chip on him keeping his power level low.”

I was stunned. I always thought my dad left us cause he found another woman, or maybe he couldn't deal with us anymore. I was always so pissed at him. 

Stolen story; please report.

But he left to protect us.

“Yea he did,”

he said. Reading my mind again.

“Now c'mon we have to escape.”

“Wait why, he won't capture us. Im his son! ”

“I know that's why we have to move as fast as we can! If he catches us, and lets us go he will be killed, and I don't think you want your dad dead too.”

Before I could ask what he ment we went zipping even faster than before! I could see a dark shadow way behind us zipping this way and that. I couldn't believe the guy back there was my dad.

I was still daydreaming about all the fun I could have with my dad after this was done when I was pushed for the second time that day. Falling from a hovering person moving at the speed of light is bad enough, but doing it above an electricity deposit is one hundred times worse.

I fell for about a minute, crashed through three electricity wires and ran straight into a generator. I stood up and found I was somehow still alive. All of my bones felt like they were cracked and reshaped. 

My clothes were burnt and torn. And my hands were bleeding and scraped… but I was very much alive. I looked around to find I was now in a nicely lit room with electricity workers all around me staring in disbelief. I looked over at them and they didn't bother looking away (which I kinda liked for a change).

One of them finally racked up enough courage to ask how I'd managed to fall into an electricity deposit.

“Er.. um… Free falling accident,”

I lied,

“My parachute kinda didn't work… heh.”

They all kept staring at me. I tried my best to walk over to the exit and found I actually felt totally fine.

 I was still wondering how had somehow survived a five hundred foot drop, from lightspeed, into an electricity deposit when I reached the door. I looked back at the workers one more time. Then left. It was a nice sunny day, with not a cloud in the sky. But i didn't enjoy it or even look at it till i could track down a vehicle, and make a plan of how to save Dane, release my dad, and then save my friends.

And on top of that I had pretty much the entire base’s recruits looking for me. I felt screwed. But then again i survived a fall from five hundred feet so at this point it was like anything could happen. 

I looked around for the first time since I'd been outside and I saw nothing. Literally nothing. Well i mean except for a highway… but still. I felt upset, mad, angry! I had gotten almost killed twice already and on top of that kidnapped, oh and don't forget tortured.

Me and my friends had suffered so much pain, only to be put in the middle of nowhere!!! I punched a wall, and it cracked. My anger was immediately replaced by amazement. I didn't know exactly what my powers were or how many i had… but damn was i strong. 

I decided not to give up to anger and emotion quite yet. I had to believe in myself. Dane, my dad, and both my friends were all counting on me, and Dane must have had a reason to drop me here. Well besides saving me and being captured himself.

I started looking around for anything I could find. I punched the dirt seeing if i could kind of search under the concrete for(at this point) ANYTHING i could find. I punched it multiple more times. Each time adding another 2 inches into the ground. 

Eventually after an hour and a half of digging I hit something hard. I reached down and felt it. It felt like handlebars.

“Uhhhhhgh,”

I said, straining to pull it up. It took me another ten minutes to pull it out. It was a kids bicycle. Don't ask me why a bicycle was down there i don't know.

It was a little small for me but it would have to do. I started towards the road. It was almost nightfall but I had to ride as far as I could before going to sleep. I knew if the tortured Dane enough either him or my father would have to eventually confess my location. 

I started biking. It was nice, I could feel the cool breeze on my face, relaxing me. I almost forgot about saving my friends… almost.

About an hour later it was too dark to see. I managed to find a dumpster I could sleep behind. I put my bike down, and layed down on the ground.

It took me a little while to fall asleep but when I did I had the worst dream yet.
