Chp 1 Never play chess with a mind reader

When I was sixteen I was bright eyed and bushy tailed. Fresh and new I had fallen in the good graces of a new Super team called Vortex by luck and they were molding me.

I ducked as a smoldering green fire smashed into the wall above me. “Watch it kiddo that looks like it would sting.” I glanced to my left and laughed when I saw Thoth standing behind a column his Gold and blue layered armor feathers were glowing like a second skin around his bronze skin.

I looked at his face his strong chin held the glowing bright smile a thin bird like blue mask covering his eyes that were a blinding white light.

“Oh easy for you to say mr regeneration.”

I said and he laughed again that seemed to vibrate me. “I also can do this!” He yelled before jumping out of the building shooting bright white light out of his hands that sounded like birds screaming.

I covered my ears just as Pagan jumped down out of the sky her green braids flying around her. “We need you to focus you are our eyes and ears out here!” she yelled I stared at her startled and she just glared at me through her black eyes but before I could apologize she flew back into the sky her long green cape flowing behind her as green flames followed her.

“She’s right.” I say to myself as I close my eyes and focus, my Thoughts turned a dark shade of pink enclosing the area until I could see everything with a major thought pattern. There were six, Mine, Pagans as she flew around Purge as she flung fireballs at her, Thoth as he dashed and blasted her, and Kano as he flickered around the area making sure that people were escaping and Live Wire was sending his Drones to attack her. “Your doing it wrong she is able to attack multiple people at once, But she isn’t able to focus the attacks so they are just blasts.” I flowed the thoughts into the thoughts of the others. A sweet tingling sensation sent chills up my spin as Thoth said “So if Pagon and Live distract her me and flicker can tag her with the Damper gear.” I sent over a approving thought “Let Flicker tag her while you and Pagan hit her hard from both sides, she is already pissed at Pagan so that will distract her.” I left out the part where I will transfer an amplified thought of Pagan’s feeling towards her into her. “When… do… we… do… this?” Flicker asked as he flicked around Purge throwing stuff at her. I pushed past them silencing all of their thoughts only keeping a quiet line open for Thoth I peered into purges mind. Her thoughts flowed like an ocean she was pissed and getting tired I watched her make decisions change them and choose different paths until she stuck with one she was after Live Wire she built up fire in her arm and aimed at him. “Now!” I yelled in their minds and they all spun around on point with the plan I stayed in her mind and pushed Pagans emotions into purges thought flow and she screamed in anger.

her powers stopping for a second as Thoth blasted her in the back she stumbled forward and Pagan flew down and chanted something and thick green energy vines started whipping her and Pagan flew away. “Gotcha!” Flicker said as he appeared out of an orange flash and jammed a blinking triangle device into her neck she gasped and fell to her knees and static erupted around her and metal chains clenched around her neck.

“Damn you Rasheda…” She hissed through clenched teeth before she passed out. I walked out of the cover to see that all the fire had gone out along with her leaving black burn marks, Pagan kneeled down to her and whispered something in her ear while staring me in the eyes. I clenched my fist she thought I was reading their minds. “You did great kiddo.” Thoth appeared behind me his hand on my shoulder the gesture was subtle but his thoughts so weren't. After the Marshals came and collected Purge and the reporters came we all headed back to the Well.

The Well is actually a well, a Well a stone built well that is filled with water. Only if you descend into the well and activate the sensors will the secret passage open and lead you to the underground base of Team Vortex. I of course haven’t been allowed anywhere near the entrance since I found it but they let me stay out in the hotel a few miles away where they hang out. “Im just saying if you were cute then I might just fall in love with you.” I laughed as I kissed Karim as he whispered that he moaned and pulled my thigh up. “Who ever said I was looking for love?” I joked back and he gasped a smirk on his lips as he faked a broken heart. I froze as Tomas thoughts came ascending the stairs my name floating on his mind. “Stop Tomas is coming…” I didn’t get to finish as Karim jumped up and was out the window in seconds his bronze skin and bright smile the last thing I saw before Tomas flickered into the room. The door shaking a bit as he appeared out of an orange flash if I hadn’t gotten a glimpse of his thought I wouldn’t have had time to cover up. “Oh I am so sorry but I couldn’t hold it in anymore, look.” he said and he flickered onto the bed and held out his laptop his golden curls bouncing. I pulled up my sheet covering my body his face dropped and his big green eyes popped and he flicked again and again and again around the room until he was backed into a corner and I realized what I did. “I am so sorry I didn’t mean to project all of that into you.” I said as I tried to sooth him with calmer emotions that weren't the awkward embarrassment of being naked near someone. “I didn’t know I swear I only tried to show you the article.” He said not looking at me and pointing to his laptop on the bed. I pulled it closer and looked at the screen. “Calling all aspiring heroes and heroines The Rising Raiders are searching for a new team member after the lost of their former leader Warden. “Isn’t it great I mean they already have a leader since Mistress stepped up but they need another member and you have credit from working with us so I just thought…” but the rest of what he said was drowned out as I realized what he was saying. “Is this your ideal?” I asked and he looked at me then away, “I mean I didn’t find the article but I…” He didn’t finish I raised my hand to my head and pushed past what he was saying and a flicker of Martin and Rashida passed his mind. I jumped up and grabbed my clothes throwing them on. He was covering his eyes and I stormed out the room he followed flickering around me trying to calm me down. but I reached the garden tea area where Martin was reading and Rashida was sewing a dream catcher and gasped as I entered the area and slammed down the laptop.  “You are trying to get rid of me!” I yelled Martin looked up at me through his green shades his bald head shining in the sun Rasheeda just sat on the swing her legs kicked up while texting her dark hair braided into a bun.

“Don’t try lying I already read your minds!” I yelled and Martin mouth opened just for a second then he removed his glasses once off I could see that they were his build small wires running through it and words scrolling across the lens. “I thought this electromagnetic wave distortion would keep you out.” he said looking at me with his clear eyes I smirked it was rare to find someone who could outdo Martin. “Cool I guess if I boost the signal and send out a few… I stuck one of the sandwiches he was munching on when I came into his mouth. “I wouldn’t expect a prying child to understand the things that adults do.”

My mouth dropped and I felt the heat rush into my cheeks as I stared at Rasheeda my stomach dropping as she glared back at me. “Yeah I said it and I would think you would be grateful a recommendation from us and you are golden on their team, but leave it to princess Lysandria to pout her lips and complain.” She always knew how to push my buttons I felt my fist ball up.

“What does Karim think about me going?” She didn’t have to say it because I felt his presence behind me along with his thoughts. “Wow after all I have done!” I shouted and spun around Karim was leaning against the wall looking at the ground his usual glow dimmed. “Look kiddo it’s not like we are getting rid of you but this team will be a great note on your resume and when you return you will be a great addition to our team.”

My mouth dropped open but before I could fight him there was an intense pressure on my head I fell to one knee. “Vitals rising heart steady yet… neural scans indicating multiple…” Martin's voice was drowned out when Karim yelled “English damn it!” I felt someone lift me my head was throbbing and someone was screaming which wasn’t helping. “Her brain is in overdrive in other words and her natural reaction is to block it out.” Martin said over the screaming someone shook my and the smell of baked apples whipped past me it was Karim. “Stop fighting it Stop screaming Lysa!” He yelled it was so easy for him to say, wait did he say I was screaming? “She can’t help it it’s the same as when she is around people besides what Rasheeda thinks of her she naturally blocks mental waves nearby only sensing for intent for self preservation.” The pressure was subsiding but my body was numb but the good side of this was I was no longer screaming and the apple smell was stronger. While the pain still throbbed I felt as if I could let go just a bit everything will be ok…

“Is she ok?” I opened my eyes which were super heavy and saw Live wire in his grey and yellow Exosuit red lights where his eyes should be. Kano in his famous burnt orange trench coat and black ski mask standing next to me I looked around I was in Karim’s room he himself was levitating in the corner in his Thoth outfit his bright eyes staring above me. “We need to talk before I leave.” Karim said without moving his lips I nodded and looked at Live Wire he was holding his left hand out to me which was more like a mech hand cause it was three times the size of his regular hand.

“What is the diagnosis doc?” I asked him and I heard his electric laughter like a million bee’s “Well it seems your brain has calmed or well as close to human as possible for you but I think a few aspirin on the plane will help you out.” I looked at Thoth “Plane?” I asked him and he nodded speaking with his mouth “We booked you a flight to New York where you will be meeting a few other heros,
