Arc 2 - Beautiful Day - Part 3 - Finale
In no time, I was able to get to London. She was standing in the middle of the city. She was giving off the same energy signatures as the previous person who attempted this. I tracked her signatures to an oil rig in the sea near Scotland. I now knew the location of where they might be coming from.
I moved closer towards her, so it will be easier to attack her and subdue her if she was to blow up, like her predecessor. While I was getting closer and closer, I saw people running away and there was panic in the crowd. I could bring it under control using empathy, to manipulate their emotions but it will be a waste of time.
As I got close to her she said, ”You have grown so much!”
“What?” I said to her.
“Well, it's not surprising that you wouldn’t know me!” She said while having an evil smirk on her face.
“I don’t care how you know me or who you are, I just want to know, why?” I have had enough of her annoying voice.
“Let me tell you who I am...” before she could finish her sentence I interrupted her, “I DON'T’ CARE.”
“Temper!” She said. “You need to bring it under control.”
“Just what the hell do you want?” I asked in frustration.
“YOUR DEATH!” She replied without hesitation.
“What?!”
“You know, I can blow up the whole city, so you will die...” before she could finish her sentence, I flew as fast as I could and before she knew it, we were outside of the city and speeding towards Earth’s orbit.
I can survive in space for at least a few hours without breathing but just in case, I encased myself in a bubble that allows me to breathe oxygen even in space before we leave the Earth’s atmosphere. However, she won’t be able to breathe so I encased her in the same energy bubble as mine, because I need answers.

“Who are you?” I asked her.
“Someone very close to you.” She replied.
What does she mean by that? She won’t give me answers, so I will get the answers by myself. I reached into her mind and copied all of her memories. I now knew everything she knew and the most shocking part was that she is my biological mother and the other man who showed up some time ago was my biological father…
I did not want to believe it but it is the truth according to her. I did what I have always done in my life and that was put down emotions and focus on what I need to know. Going through her memories, I found out that since the day I was born, I was experimented upon and was trained to become the biggest weapon the world government can put their hands on. However, when I was 5, someone who was working there released me from the facility and brought me to London. She removed all of the tracking devices from my body, so they won’t find me. She also took the time to remove all my memories of this facility and the whole experiment.
However, as soon as she rescued me, she was killed immediately. After a few years of research based on my DNA, they decided that they will create different countermeasures against me. Using my DNA they created a form of Superhumans that have a limited time once they are released and their sole objective is my death. I was supposed to be their perfect Weapon of Mass Destructions but once I escaped, they needed others to stop me.
They searched for me for years but could not find me. So, they kept these new WMDs in stasis for my arrival. A few months ago my powers manifested, so they locked onto my energies again. There is still little information she knows about why they never tried to kill me earlier. But as soon as they were released, one of the went to a city and challenged me. However, he was not supposed to blow up if I did not get there because the goal of the organisation, which is created by the world government was to protect lives, but someone did something and triggered something and killed him and millions.

She thinks the reason the organisation waited so long before acting again was that they wanted to see what went wrong with the previous subject and try to not repeat the same mistake.
“Why did they do all of this?” I asked her, even though I knew the answer for it.
“Because you, my son, are a time bomb that could destroy us all.” She replied.
With my speed and teleportation, I was going to leave her on the Moon, and it would have taken less than five minutes but I slowed down because I needed to process the information I had.
She said, “we are your parents, so we know what is best for you. And what is best for you is, that you come back with us before it gets dirty.”
“You might have given birth to me, but you are not my mother,” I said to her in frustration. “You experimented on me, trained me to be a perfect weapon. How can a mother do that?”
“Come back with us or I will kill you!” She warned me.
“Do you really think you can kill me?” She might be able to but we don’t know that.
“Maybe or maybe not.” She replied. “But it's worth a try, no?”
“I analysed your energy patterns and they are completely ineffective against me and will do no damage to.” It’s a lie. I could not even analyse the energies that were left behind. The radiation type was much different than anything I have ever seen. I continued the bluff, “I have walked on the surface of the sun. Been to alien planets. And do you really think you can kill me?” I hope she buys this bluff.
“Actually, you have not even left this planet.” She replied with confidence.
Damn, how does she know this… Oh, that’s right. They have been following my energy trail since the day I got these powers.
“You see, you were busy talking to me but I have pushed this button long ago.” She said that while pointing at the button.
“Oh, shi...” Before I could finish the sentence, she blew up and everything went black.

(From a bystander’s point of view)
This crazy woman appeared out of nowhere and was demanding the presence of someone, just like the man who blew up the other city. We still don’t know who this person is they are looking for. There have been some very blurry pictures online but no one has been able to capture him on the camera. Some of the people who were part of the rescue team said that this person was too fast for them to see properly. They don’t know how he looks or whom he might be.
This woman started talking to the camera that was floating in mid-air and it was being aired on almost all screens close to her. However, we did not have enough time to watch as we tried to run away from her as far as we could.
I stopped for a second to see that another person appeared out of thin air and he started moving closer towards her. They were talking for a while but the man moved so fast that he took her with him and flew towards space.
While they were leaving us behind, after a few minutes there was a terrifying sound and we looked up, there was an explosion. When the dust settled, someone was falling towards the city and he came as close as possible to hit the ground before vanishing from us.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I wake up and I am in the middle of water… Wait, not water, there are too many different chemicals here. I also noticed that I have an oxygen mask. Why would I need one? And when I opened my eyes fully, I was in a massive cylinder. Where can I be?
