Cyrus Noble Chapter 5

I ran out in out into the hallway with Arsenal, and almost ran into Jazz. They were frozen in place. I said, "Guys, come on! There could be more of them in here. We have to...." I saw why they were frozen. They were staring at the twenty or so uniformed and armed men standing there, weapons trained on us. The shadows of the hall surrounded us, but both sides knew that the other was there. "Move." I finished. I stepped forward towards them, and a blast of energy whizzed past my head. "If you move, we will kill you!" Lasers aren't supposed to be invented yet. Where did they get that stuff? I said, "That's some pretty crappy aim. C'mon, hit me right here! I dare you!" I made an 'X' on my chest. The same soldier fired and it hit me so hard I fell on my back. That hurt, a lot. Megan screamed. Everyone stood still. I could here the soldiers coming forward. I tapped the floor twice, giving my signal. I made a plan in my head earlier, and I told Sara that whenever in a fight, read my mind and give my plan to the others to make sure they got it. So, I had her tell Viktor and Jazz that when I tapped my fingers against the metal floor, they would attack the troopers that were coming towards us. Jazz threw a handful of pellets in front of her. Which sent of discharge of energy to the troopers. Viktor moved his headband away from his eyes, and his eyes lit up the hallway. The troopers were down in seconds. I got up and examined myself. Burned a hole in one of my shirts, but the wound was gone. I looked at the others. Jazz was fussing at me. "You idiot! That could have went right through you!" I flashed her a grin. "But it didn't. Let's go." We ran through the hallways towards the roof. Oh, I should explain. Remember when Jazz said that we were prototypes? Well, I was being trained and modified to be some sort of self healing soldier. Complete with claw like fingernails, and retractable fangs. (And, No. Not like a Vampire, fangirls.) Jazz has a photographic memory, and can scream at a super high pitch so high that it's painful. Not just to me or Viktor either. She said she actually managed to wreak an entire training room once. She actually has a tool belt she found and keeps making stuff to put into it. She's, like, Batgirl. You know Viktor already. Megan, they must have been testing flight capabilities, because she was grafted with big, leathery wings. She can use them to fly. She also has incredible strength, she can lift a ton and a half. I can't count the number of times she embarrassed me in arm wrestling. Magnet can control metal, to a certain extent. Sara, as you probably figured out, can read minds and contact others with her thoughts. She can have an entire conversation with your thoughts, although we discourage it. What? You mean, you can't do any of that?
