"Show me what you can do." (Yes, it escalated quickly, that guy wasn’t wasting time.)

He spoke right into my head... Telepathy.

My worst enemy, maybe he could read my mind, but I didn't care now.

"I don't know what you are talking about good sir, I would gladly oblige to help you if need it, if not I would like to continue on my road, my parents are waiting for me it is getting late." was my response.

He smiled. no more like a grin behind his mask, there was some kind of amusement in his masked expression.

Suddenly a shadow quickly closed on me, I crouched again, my range was not enough for me to fight while standing, in barely the time I took to crouch the shadow was already upon with a bright light. A FUCKING plasma blade, this thing cut through walls.

My heart began to pound quickly but my mind seemed to simply clear and go into full focus.

I first stopped the blade with my telekinesis. It was unsurprisingly hard, not because of the cutting power, but simply because the speed and energy accumulated required an equivalent amount of power to stop.

I made it fly into my hand... I looked at the now disarmed shadow, I didn't take time to look at it, but instead used my power to choke her while lifting it, I saw this in a movie about warriors of light and dark in space, cool and practical.

Now that it was under my control, I looked at it, it was a woman older than me by a few years, wearing a robe covering her whole body, her face red from the choking.

When I heard a voice in my head: " Release her" I felt compelled to do so, and I did.

She fell on the ground coughing for a few seconds then rushed next to the man at a speed far above an athlete...

My face remained stoic, not through my own sheer willpower but just naturally.

Alarms were ringing in my mind nobody wore latex suits anymore, it was old-fashioned not even superheroes in movies do it anymore, yes this is important to me, maybe he is a pervert who would like to take advantage of my exquisite body built with great efforts.

“STOP IT, I am not like that, I thought this was the coolest suit...” He screamed at me, his face red from anger and whatever weird emotions were running in that twisted head of his.

“Stop it.”

Oh, he can really read my mind and he also can entice or force me to do things,

I thought as strongly as I could in my head: If you don't get out of my head you sick freak, in the next few seconds, I will bury you and that little wench alive and believe me I can.

He took a big breath and calmed down, probably.

" I know you can, in fact, I know as much as you about your power or maybe even more." It was his mental response that came to my mind with a smile visible under that mask of his, he was enjoying this really weird specimen. Oh, he is taking a deeper breath, maybe he really enjoys this.

It was frustrating to have someone in my head, and a pervert at that, I should stop joking about this and get serious then take care of them.

Before I even rushed at him, he took a step back and the other useless thing rushed at me.

I didn't hold back this time, I focused my mind on the girl when she entered my range and exerted an enormous amount of force on her body, then she stumbled then fell on the ground I heard something crack probably her legs, then I raised earth and buried her while leaving her head out.

I ran toward the man when I was stopped straight into my course, I was frozen, I couldn't move a single bone, he froze me...

I began a mental fight to try and break free, no matter the amount of pervert remarks I made at him and how pissed off he got it wouldn't do. I was at his mercy.

All this training, those headaches, have gone into oblivion. for naught. Against a damn pervert at that.

If a simple telepath could stop me, and read my mind like an open book, why did I even train, no... What use are my powers?

"There, there... it is just that even amongst telepaths I am really powerful, we shouldn't fight between brethren, your powers are average at best, even if you keep training them, you already reached some limits, your mouth is deadlier than them, you should come with us to the Independant Mutant Country only there will be free to be who you are and safe, we live in a society were the biggest crimes are simple thefts."

I regained control of my body. More like, he gave it back to me.

The idea was tempting, I was tired of going every day to the same school, with the same stupid people. I only had my family and my little lover, maybe they would have a better life without me, without a blade constantly hovering over their head if I get caught.

NO.

There is always danger in this cold city, even if the terrorists have subsidized there is still danger, when you think you are done with all the dangerous freaks another is coming out and destroying your hard-earned peace, but maybe I can bring them with me, they will be protected?

I announced my condition even if he already read it in my mind: "If I can bring my family then I will come with you"

The masked man clicked his tongue maybe in annoyance: "Can't you see they are just normal humans; We are the next step of evolution, they will only tie you down, we can't bring them it's against our laws.

Didn't you already suffer enough at their hands, you have no friends only a lover in that girl. You are never rewarded for your hard work by that family that thinks of it as the bare minimum.

Come stop this already and let us go."

I responded with the words that came to me, from the bottom of my heart.“Then you can go back to your little country, they are my only family, they might not be perfect, but I only have one and only family, I can always find mutants.”

And because there is a need to ascertain who is the prey: “You probably saw in my memories that I can compress and increase my range and that my power can have sudden outbursts you twat. So, leave my mind.”

"You disappoint us."

I felt like something in my mind was tugging like someone was leafing through my memories, then I felt some fading, I didn't have the luxury to see what was being erased time was of the essence.

I used the technique I had newly discovered to compress my range and instead of a sphere shape it into a cylinder toward my prey.

He dodged my power... Damn, he could still read my thoughts, but he only narrowly dodged and after the third attempt I caught him, my head... the pain from using my power and this technique to transform my range made time seem slow.

I had the feeling of my head getting crushed under immense pressure, blood leaked out of my eyes...

But it didn't stop me, whatever he was doing, it stopped, it felt like there was still a fragment of whatever he was erasing, slowly recovering. But his acolyte, the shadow was already upon me, she managed to recover and extirpate herself from the Earth prison.

I turned my focus toward her and recovered my spherical range, this time I will make sure she doesn't move for good. she was only a few centimeters away from me, and with her speed, it would be hard for me to stop her, I would certainly be hit, but not before I also threw a telekinetic punch, it was my first time trying this and it worked, but I was still sent flying for a meter, damn it that hurts, I will break her legs when I get to her.

I stood up only to see her pouncing on me, the world around me was blurry, my mental energy was probably entirely depleted, blood on my face from overusing my power and on my chest from that punch.

I worked through the pain, every breath I took made my lungs burn. I focused all my power on her thigh and was about to compress air like a bullet to pierce her leg when another voice rose.

" STOP." The trees shook. Finally, time restarted.

A team wearing spandex suits came out from behind the trees, this was a damn joke, even in movies they stopped using those suits.

The most noticeable characters, when my focus was a luxury, were a smiling long-haired middle-aged man and a woman with short white hair.

It was the man who started: " I am sorry little friend, my disciple seems to have gotten overly zealous. I am grateful that you didn't kill either of them. I am Damian one of the dirigent of the Mutant Country, and she is Rose my most promising disciple."

My eyes nearly rolled backward, there was a team of those guys, well it was logical there was even a country.

Please just don’t be a team full of perverts...?

The duo that attracted my attention looked at me weirdly, I thought: Great!! Even more telepaths.
