Chapter 1 - Round ‘em up
At the RGS bank in the centre of Cardiff, there were busy queues as each customer needed money from their savings ahead of the Summer. A middle-aged, well-built gentleman was getting impatient as the teenager in front of him, was in deep conversation and smoothly trying to woo the young woman at the cashier. The man eyed him up suspiciously, the boy wasn’t here to take out any money.
‘Can we keep it moving’ growled the man as the pair burst out laughing.
The youth spun around, but to the man’s great annoyance did not stop laughing, lunging forward the man used a powerful hand to slam the teen against the wall. The woman screamed, as all attention in the bank was suddenly turned towards the man.
He was then surprised to see a grin form on the bruised face of the adolescent, he turned around to see the customers dispersing out of the exit but entering were a squad of SWAT agents, dressed fully in black with impressive looking guns facing towards him.
--- Amy Jones had been working as a nurse for nearly two years now, she loves her job and had become very good at it thanks to her ability. To her own bewilderment and amazement Amy can cause other individuals to heal injuries at an increased rate. This has furthered Amy’s career as well as saved countless lives since she chose the medical profession.
This morning Amy was late, she pulled into the car park, raced around, scanning hopelessly for a free spot. Disheartened at her luck and knowing she’d be in hot water if anyone found out, Amy parked at the emergency exit before running back around and entering at the main one to St. Grays Hospital.
Heading up to Ward 27, Amy noticed two men in black suits watching her, she quickly walked ahead to the empty lift where the two men followed her in. Amy gulped as the lift door began to close.

Will was walking home from school, after another day in which he had barely spoken to anyone. He reassured himself that he preferred the solitude and peacefulness of being alone, but in reality he just had no friends.
As Will turned the corner a black van with tinted windows drove very slowly towards him. Suddenly Will felt a sharp pain on his shoulder, he collapsed to the ground, immediately losing consciousness.
The agent behind him pocketed the syringe and lifted the boy’s body into the back of the opened van. He slammed the door and climbing into the passenger seat, half a mile away Will’s mother, was preparing a snack for his son, unaware that he would not be returning home.

The lift door was about to close when a thin, bony hand appeared, an old frail lady, crept forward into the lift.
‘Hope you don’t mind if join you’, she said, although Amy doubted she would leave if they all said they do.
‘Not at all Mrs Finnigan’ Amy responded cheerfully, relieved at the old woman’s timely arrival. The two men behind her exchanged looks.
When the lift had opened, Amy raced out, she was spooked and had to leave. However she had an advantage she had been working at and knew the hospital.
The two men had trouble, the target was walking quickly down a very busy corridor, they managed to spot her walking to the staircase but after a flock of patients and nurses blocked their sight, she was gone. ‘All units’ the taller man shouted to a transmitter, ‘block off the exits, don’t let her out’.
A floor below Amy was sprinting towards the emergency exit, she had to get away. She reached the door, ‘Hey you there stop’ said a voice from behind her, Amy did not even look. She reached the car, immediately starting the engine and drove off into the distance, leaving her old life behind; she was now a fugitive.

The man released the boy, who immediately scampered out of the bank. He lifted up his hands, faced the agents and smiled. The man suddenly lowered his arms and torrents of water came out of each hand, blasting the stunned agents away. Using each hand as a water cannon he sent those who were still standing flying into the walls of the bank.
Running to the window and firing away the glass, he clambered over the frame sprinted away, avoiding the shots of the agents who had recovered from their watery experience. The agent pulled down his mask and pulled out his transmitter. ‘General Baktar he got away and it looks like we’ve found our number one target’, he said looking back at his injured comrades.
