Goliath tried to slam both his fists down on me, knowing that I could take it, but I didn't have to. I stopped right in front of them and flew around him. I picked up his left foot and flew straight up. He was dangling upside down now and I dropped him. His thundering thud probably woke up half of the neighborhood.
He groaned and tried to get up, but I slammed on his chest with both feet. I heard the wind rush out of his lungs in a giant whooshing sound that sounded like a hurricane blowing.
I went after Angel. We were tangling in the air when I heard Gemini. "Angel! Get out of the way! We can't get a clear shot!" Before I could react, she did a snap kick at my head that left me dazed. I turn back to her to see her a ways away, and then I looked at where I thought I heard Gemini. I saw Gemini and Boom holding out there hands against me. I saw Boom's lips move, but I couldn't tell what she were saying. Probably something like "I'm sorry."
Then I felt it. A solid force with about a thousand volts of electricity dancing along with it. Needless to say, I went flying. I made a crater about a mile away. I was on my hands and knees, catching my breath, and waiting for the tingling sensation to pass. I felt a small rush of wind, and I looked up. It was the Blurr.
He spoke, and, if I'm not mistaking, those were the first words I ever heard him say, ever. "Please stop fighting. We know you want your brother back, but you can't win against us. Now settle down before someone really gets hurt." I started to get up. I said, "You don't understand." I faltered for a sec, then started back up again. "I have to find him. I need to find him. Or he's gonna end up like that Brenda kid." He only looked at me. He sighed. "Look. I'm not going to pretend to know what you're going through. I never had any siblings, but, from what I've heard, I've been missing out." I looked down and said, "Yeah. They're annoying, obnoxious, nosey, but......they're family. My little brother, he was there for me when I needed him the most, so I need to be there for him."
He nodded. He said, "Feel better now?" I blinked. Actually, yeah, I did. I giggled, "Got any more advice, Dr. Phil?" He smirked, then replied, "Take two pills tonight and then come see me in the morning." We both laughed.
He said, "Seriously Haley, meet us at the top of that building you met the other guys, and we'll find your brother." My heart filled up with joy. I said, "Thank you, and sorry about that back there." He waved it off. "I'll go tell the others to cool it. See you tomorrow at....three?"
I nodded. "Three." He sped off, and I smiled to myself. I flew on home and went in through my bedroom window. That's when I heard a voice. "I know where your brother is." I spun around to see......no one. No one was there. I thought it was Candy until she came into the room. She let out a big breath. "I thought I was going to have to tell you parents or something, Haley!" She was still talking in a lowered voice.
I said, "Did you hear someone, just now?" She gave me a funny look. "I was downstairs, waiting for you to get back here. I didn't hear anyone else in here."
I said, "Huh, well, I made plans to meet with the Trinity tomorrow. Goodnight." I clicked my bracelet and dove under the covers. That's all I need. My best friend thinking I'm crazy.
Anyway, I feel a whole lot better. I have full confidence that we'll find my brother tomorrow.
