Powerful Dreams

Just before i start this post i though i should say that my name is still Elle Mode, but this time i'm more "hot receptionist" than "supermodel", that's enough change so that the government wont recognise me, right?

In a world like this you start to wonder if its all just a fantasy you're living out because you fell asleep during english class again. But i had a rather weird dream last night, it felt so real but it wasn't. Thats a good thing.

Sage, Omni and Chan were staying in my apartment (thats not the dream) and Shifter was guarding Techpower HQ (but thats not the dream). i was dreaming my normal dream: that i went to a high school that was as chaotic as St Trinians. When i was in the middle of kissing a cute guy i snuck into the school i disappeared. I was standing there and i could see Howard murdering a girl that i recognised: Ali. it was one of those dreams where you couldn't talk and couldn't move. It was horrible, he was using TK to slit her arms and head. The blood spattered on my clothes. I woke up, to see the blood on my clothes, i ran to the mirror, but it wasn't showing on the mirror, i didn't want to wake up the others, i silently freaked out. I kept checking the mirror and trying to make myself see the blood, i wiped my hand on my shirt only to see that the blood wasn't really there, it was fake. Howard stepped out from the shadows and said: "i'm warning you" and he and the blood disappeared.

i limped to the couch and pondered what to do, the dream replayed over and over in my mind.

I fell into a light and tortered sleep.

I woke up early the next morning and sped to NY, and got into Ali's room to wake her up, we sped to LA.

i explained to her what was going on, and why i had to get her. She believed me, well she and i might not be blood related but shes still my sister, so of course she believed me. i showed her Techpower, which we all decided would be a company that consults people in finance, legal and personal problems. It was a great way to get recruits and for me to find EHs (to recruit! not kill!, well maybe if their powers are good...) We had bought filing cabnets which we put the helix on, and we also have the symbol in our sign and we have it as our logo:

The eye in the middle is meant as our unique vision, Omni's dreams, my enhanced sight and our own views on the world. The symbol looks good huh? "You have the power, use it" we put a sly reference to our powers in there, we also figured that we can motivate people, or whatever, that was Omni's idea, she's really "deep" and "meaningful" all the time.

Anyways we all have necklaces with the symbols on them, and we now had Ali on our team.

Ali is dim-witted, but she can invent anything, we paired her with Stan, just until we can find another recruit who has powers. "One of us one of them" Sage always says, apparently he'd heard that term when his dad worked at a place called Primatech Paper, he says he always pretended that he that place was actually a secret spy organisation. thats what gave him the idea for Techpower Co. Stan was very good at firearms, and was also very persuasive, 2 good things in an agent.

i went out to find specials with Ali, which brought us to a train yard. We had followed a man who could fly. We made it to the train car we saw him enter, only to see Howard had knocked him out. He hadn't taken his power, he had just knocked him out.

"I warned you" he said. He tried TK me against against a wall, but i used TK to stop myself from hitting. He used that paralysis power that i hate. I was standing there watching him kill my sister, i couldn't stand it electrcity started to flow throuh my arms, i couldn't help it, i could feel the ground shaking, i TKed cement out of the ground and bashed Howard over the head with it.

i told Ali to run, she refused to leave, she grabbed a gun out of her jacket and began frantically shooting at Howard, he melted the gun and threw Ali into a train car and locked the door, the electricity that had been building up in my arms saw Howard be blown away. I walked over to him.

"i would take your powers, but why would i want anything owned by you?" i slit his throat using TK. and unlocked the train car door. Ali walked out with a few bruises but she was ok. The special we had come for was awake, we asked him if he wanted to help us create a company that would one day become heroes to all specials, he agreed. Ali had a partner and Howard was dead.

Since Howard had already died in this city, i summoned a can of kerosene and tipped it over his body, i ignited it with electricity. Ali caught a ride with her flying man, and i sped back to HQ. now i'm writing this.
