It had been a few hours since Ben, Stacey and Mist had returned to Haven, since they return Ben had locked himself away in his study pondering over books and maps whist Stacey had been left on her own thinking why Ben was doing this, often she saw Frostbite and Powerhouse walking into the room only for them to leave a few minutes later, “what the hell is going on with him?” She asked herself as she sat quietly on a chair, “perhaps, he is ashamed of what he told me about his past?” Saying this she put one of her green hands into her jacket pocket and pulled out a photo it was one that had been taken of both her and Ben when they had met all those years ago, “I wouldn’t worry too much Stacey!” A familiar voice said in a calm and kind tone
Stacey looked to her left and saw Mist, she was wearing a white colored dressing gown, and a white towel that covered her hair, “Laura?” Stacey shouted in surprise, “boy am I glad to see you,” she cried in a voice that was filled with joy and yet with sadness.
Mist looked at her and smiled, “you shouldn’t feel upset about Ben,” she said her voice was filled with sorrow, “he has been thought a lot you know.” Stacey looked at her giving the other woman a puzzled look, “haven’t we all Mist?” She asked her tone was ice cold and hard, Mist gave her a look back and nodded her head, “yes, I suppose you are right?” She answered back gravely, “we have all of us had it hard, but when life drags us down, we should be strong.” Her voice sounded inspiring; however, Stacy wasn’t in the mood, “you’re upset about Ben aren’t you?” The other Mega human asked in a soft voice, Stacey turned her head towards her, “I am thinking about maybe leaving him due to how he is with me?” She then turned away from Mist and covered both of her eyes with her hands and started sobbing, Mist seeing that her friend needed her support sat by her and as a gestor of good will put one of her hands onto her back, “Stacey why are you thinking this?” She asked in a calm gentle voice, “Ben and you have something special and you would throw it all away for nothing?” Hearing her asking this Stacey looked straight at her tears running down her face as she did this, “yes, I am but why are you asking me this?”
A smile appeared on Mist’s dark blue lips, “because Stacey when I first joined Haven, I was like you, innocent, young and not aware of the dangers of the outside world.” She then let out a deep breath, “that was until Ben introduced me to Chris,” “Chris?” Stacey asked as she wiped her tears away, “who is he? As I have never heard on anyone by that name before!” Mist looked at her and from the look on her face Stacey could see that this memory upset her, “he is or was my boyfriend?” She said in a sadden voice, “I could tell you the story of what happen to him and how we meet if you would like?” Stacey looked at her, “only if you want to Mist?” She asked in a warm friendly voice.
It was getting late in the afternoon Stacey had now decided to join Mist in her room which overlooked the sea front, she sat down on a chair gazing out of Mist’s open window towards the sea, as she did this she noticed a large menacing black cloud looming over the horizon coming towards the mainland in a hurry, “looks like a storm?” She said to herself as she turned away from the window, as she did this she saw Mist who had now removed the towel from her head showing a head of dyed blonde colored hair, in her hands were two wine glasses and in another was a bottle of Rose wine, “here Stacey,” she said in a warm friendly tone as she handed Stacey a glass, “I hope that you enjoy this as this is one of my favorite wines?” She then put her glass down on a small table besides her bed and began pouring the wine into one of the glasses, she then handed it over to Stacey who then handed her the empty glass back, “thank you Mist, I have never had a bottle of this before,” “really?” Mist repl
Stacey made her way towards the study room, her hair was tied back into a neat ponytail and she was wearing a purple top and short blue jeans, as she made her way down the stairs towards the room she couldn’t stop thinking about what Mist had told her about Ben, “when did he suffer with some low self-esteem?” She began to ask herself as she drew closer to the study, she looked inside gazing in wonder at what she saw, the room was in a mess old newspapers had been throw on the room books were piled on tables and siting on a leather chair asleep was Ben next to him on a table was a half drunk glass on what looked like whiskey. Next to that was an ashtray filled with ash, “God what I mess? What the hell has Ben been doing?” She asked herself out loud as her green hand began reaching for the door handle, to her surprise and shock the door stung off, as she entered the room the smell of tobacco hit her noise nearly knocking off her feet, as rushed to the nearest window on the other side o
Ben stood gazing at the Capitals Senate building the large domed building had always caught his imagination, yet, this wasn’t the first time that he had seen it, “I wish that Stacey had come with me?” He said to himself as he began walking slowly towards the building, “how she would have loved it here.” The journey for Ben had been a lonely one as he had crept out alone from Haven, no, one knew where he was going well besides Stacey, now more than ever he missed her company, as he made his way towards the large building a large crowd of people gathered, some were politicians whist others were civilians, whenever someone saw he they flashed a friendly smile, Ben returned this back, “thank God these people don’t know who I am!” He said to himself as he made his way up to the steps outside the Senate, no, sooner had he done this, he noticed four people walking slowly towards him, there were three woman and one man all of them dressed in suits, “Peter aids no doubt.” Ben said to himself
Stacey sat on chair in Ben rooms the air was thick with the smell of tobacco in her hand she was holding a photo album, inside were photos of both Ben and her, “why did I let him go off like that?” She asked herself out loud, “why didn’t I say something to him?” She then got up out of the chair and put the album down letting it drop to the floor, she then walked over to the balcony and looked out over at the cityscape, “why couldn’t I have been stronger?” She asked herself in a low voice, as she looked out there came a loud knocking at the door, “hey, Stacey are you in here?” Asked a familiar voice, “the doors open Greena come on in!” Stacey shouted back, the door nearly fell from its hinges as Greena walked on it, here body was ribbed with muscle, she looked like Stacey apart from two differences her green skin was darker and she had flaming red hair, she was wearing a red and yellow jumpsuit a pair of fingerless gloves covered both of her hands and on her face she wore a pair of re
Ben sat chained to a small chair as he vision cleared, he could see that he was inside what looked like a warehouse, in one corner he could see a large row of crates, and in another two large canisters filled with gas, “where the Hell I am?” He said out loud to himself as he tried to struggle out of the chair, “I wouldn’t do that if I was you as you might hurt yourself?” A soft voice said, Ben’s eyes widen for as soon as he heard the voice he had felt a familiar presents, he turned his head slightly to his left and caught a glimpse of a tall figure standing in front of an open door, “Craig Chung?” He said out loud as he watched the Mega Human entering the room.Craig was a sight to behold, he was much taller than Ben well over six foot, he wore a black suit, his head was shaved and his eyes glowed blue-white, “it’s been a long time hasn’t it Ben?” He said as he came close to the chair, “far too long then I wish to remember Craig,” Craig looked at him and smiled, “I am glad that you re
Stacey sat next to both Mist and Greena looking bored and impatient as she watched Frostbite pacing from one corner of the large room back to the other, behind him was a large tv screen showing footage of an attack in Washington DC, sitting down at a large table were the members of Haven, Powerhouse, Zak, and a new member that Stacey had never met of seen before, he was tall with dark curly hair tanned dark skin and had a bit of stubble around his chin, Frostbite paused the television just as a soldier forced a young woman out of the senate building, “can anyone tell me what the hell is going on here?” He asked in a cold hard voice, Stacey looked at him, “this is the Outcast’s work and it’s just like what Ben predicted,” she said in a trembling voice as both Mist and Greena comforted her, “where’s the boss then?” Asked Zak, “shouldn’t he be the one leading this meeting?” Frostbite turned his gaze back to Stacey, “that is an interesting question and I would like to know where Ben is my
It had just been a few minutes since Ben had been set free of his bounds by Surge, now the two of them walked along a long and narrow walkway, down below them both was a courtyard full of tanks, weapons, trucks and other military equipment, “magnificent isn’t it?” Surge asked as he leaned over the edge along with Ben and looked down, “looks like your preparing for war?” Ben asked in a voice that sounded surprised, “you could say that my friend,” Surge answered back giving his friend and evil looking grin, “this is just the start of things to come for the humans!” As Ben looked down he could feel the presents of both human and Mega humans down below, he then turned away to see Surge walking a few yards towards a door, as he was about to open it he Jested with one of his hands for Ben to follow as ben got near he stopped as he felt the present of a powerful Mega Human he turned as he saw a smiled appear on Surge’s face, “though this door my friend,” Surge said as he pushed it open, “you
RevelationIt had been a few hours since Ben and Surge had walked out the lab leaving Chris behind, since that time they both witnessed several of the politicians who had been taken from Washington being injected with the Mega Human serum, as Ben watched them under going their transformation he was reminded of the time when both he and Stacey had been injected, he turned to Surge who was standing next to him, “remind me again, please Craig why are you doing this?” Surge turned to him and smiled, “because Ben my friend I want to increase the mega human population and also because I want to set an example,” “an example?” Ben asked puzzled as he turned his head back to the scene where a young man was being injected, “yes, an example by which I mean that the politicians should never have given the go ahead for the Military to use this serum on us now they know how it feels to be powerless!” They both turned to face the small theater and as they did more and more human began pouring in.
