Felipe's lungs burned with exertion, he was dying to stop and take a break. Beside him, his sister Isabella wasn't faring much better, but neither of them was at the liberty to stop. As they ran through an empty alley between two looming skyscrapers, wanted posters plastered with their faces flew up around them. Behind them, the looming sounds of footsteps grew louder.
Felipe could hear the S.H.G.S. agent calling for backup, and his heart filled with dread. He and Bella were barely outrunning the three S.H.G.S. agents that were currently chasing them, how could they get away if they called in the backup squad? He turned to Bella.
"We have to get rid of these three" he said.
Both of them stop running, and Bella turns to their pursers.
"Put your hands up!"
Shouted the agent closet to them, pulling out a stun-gun. Fire erupts in front of the agent, blazing a brilliant red. Bella holds out her hand and controls the fire, searing the agent's skin and causing him to drop the gun.
She draws a line of fire to block the ally, guarding them both against the two remaining agents. Felipe turns and starts running, gesturing for Isabella to follow him. Both siblings run off into the city night.
They stop about ten blocks down, in the shadow of one of a thousand tall glass buildings.
"We have to get out of this city," Bella said.
"Obviously" Felipe replied "Where do we go? No place comes to mind..."
A voice comes from behind them "You could come back with me"
The siblings turned, their blood ran cold. A tall, imposing figure stood there, and Felipe and Isabella both recognize him immediately. Dr. Winston Miller, head genetic researcher at the S.H.G.S. They both stare at him for a moment, Felipe responds with a laugh
"And why would we do that?"
"It would make my job a lot easier," Winston said.
Bella grinned at him "That's the opposite of what we're trying to do."
Winston grimaced and turned around to call out to the shadows
"Then we'll do this the hard way. The rest of you can come out now."
Five more agents emerge from the shadows, each equipped with a stun-gun, already drawn and pointed at the siblings.
"Felipe and Isabella Castilla, I'll be taking you back to the S.G.H.S. to continue our genetic research to further human evolution and to serve for your crimes against humanity," Winston said with a flare of grandeur.
Felipe's blood boiled "We are never going back to that hellhole!" he shouted.
Suddenly the agents were bombarded with debris from the ground, trash, rocks, any pieces of debris near them flies straight at them, thrown by an unseen hand. Dr. Miller is unaffected by this. He calmly walks toward Felipe and grabs him in an iron grip.
Felipe attempts to wrestle himself away, but his attempt is futile. Behind the Doctor, his agents realize the bombardment of objects ceased, and they immediately flock to Bella, pulling her arms behind her back and cuffing her. Bella tried to summon her fire, but the cuffs seem to prevent her from doing so. Felipe tries to struggle, but against the heavily trained guards, it wasn't very effective. Winston smiles devilishly at them
"I guess you are coming back" he snarls.
"They're not going back with you, Doctor"
Calls a mysterious figure from above. They are wearing a mask, decorated to look like a fox. Another figure stands beside them, wearing a similar mask. The first figure spoke again
"Do you two need some help?"
