After hearing the TV on the other side of the room the three could only look at each other in silence as this confirmed what was happening in the world.
“I am going to call your mother she should be just about finished letting her superiors know she will be leaving her job and on her way back here.
The captain said she would send someone that will look after your mother and another team to our house to pack it up and they should be moving our things as we speak.” Jack said as he stood up walking out of the room.
“We have an incoming address from the president..” the news anchor said before the scene on the tv began to change again.
“Our government is aware of the changes happening in the world and we are working around the clock to handle these matters and bring order.
As of right now anyone with supernatural abilities and living in the United States is required to register with the Federal Bureau of Supernatural Abilities, the FBSA.
To register please report to your city hall within a major city in your state where there will be an FBSA attendant on standby to test and register you and your abilities.
Anyone with a supernatural ability not registered into the FBSA will be subject to charges and fines.
It is our duty as a county and as a people to not take advantage of our current situation anyone in violation of this that seeks to harm the peace of this nation with be subject to the highest degree of punishment.” The president spoke resolutely.
‘What really can the government even do about people that can literally fly?’ ‘Many people watching began to think.
Just as this thought crossed the people’s minds though the screen began to change to what looked like a battle as 2 uniformed men fought against what seemed to be an entire mob.
The men held out their hands and what looked like a massive lightning bolt streamed throw the crowd of people instantly vaporizing everyone they touched.
As they cries of rebellion turned into screams of terror as many tried to run for their lives and others froze in fear.
The flashes continued for a few minutes and the dust eventually settled only to reveal a few living people curled on the ground shaking in fear surrounded by black puddles of scorched blood.
After this video played the president appeared back on the screen.
“As you can see we the United States Government have the means necessary to deal with anyone that thinks just because they have attained some power that this world is now theirs.
In times like these we need to be helping and uplifting one another so that we may continue to live in prosperity and peace.” The president said and when the screen changed the news anchor appeared again speechless and seemingly in shock.
Seeing this Jason and Ethan exchanged glances, “how are they so strong?
Did we really change the world or did we just amplify what was already going on in the background?” Jason couldn’t help but ask as he knew his own abilities were nowhere near that level of strength even after he had trained for almost 2 days.
“I-I don’t know” was all Ethan could say as the image of the two uniformed men continued to replay in his mind, he could see a slight ripple of space leaving their hand each time a lightning bolt was about to fly out like their hand was surrounded by a small heatwave.
“I wonder how the FBSA will even work, for them to have enough people to send someone to the major cities of every state must mean they already had some type of superhuman force built up even before we returned from the future.” Jason said proving that the gears in his head were spinning overtime.
Hearing this brought Ethan out of his stupor as this realization somehow brought him some relief.
“Then how have we never heard of someone with abilities even before we came back, were there that few people with abilities or just how good were they at keeping the truth of events like this from reaching the public ear.
We even worked on government projects and never heard of any of this.” He said as he began to wonder just how much he didn’t know about his own world even with him being from the future.
Jason let out a big sigh as he fell back onto the bed, “honestly we won’t get anywhere just asking questions to each other, we should probably just keep practicing until we get an idea of where things are headed.
Humans just might be the least of our worries at this point, if everything he said is true all of the human race should be bolstering its forces about now and I have a feeling the the US isn’t the only country with some god behind the scenes commanding its leaders.” He said as he closed his eyes beginning his practice.
Seeing this Ethan could only follow suit knowing when Jason was usually right when it came to assessing situations as he had a more clear understanding of people than himself.
Like this they both practiced through the night eventually both falling asleep in Ethan’s bed with their heads on opposite ends.
The next day they were woke up around 5 in the morning as a nurse entered the room to check the boys vitals surprised to see them both sleeping in the same bad as Jack lie comfortably on the pull out mattress from the wall.
Shortly after the nurse took their vitals the doctor entered seeing both boys sitting in a lotus position on the bed seemingly meditating.
“Well you guys vitals seem to have stabilized and you both seem to be healthy, the fact that your chart doesn’t report any complaints of pain or discomfort I’d assume you boys are ready to head home.” He said while smiling towards the boys.
“Yea, I feel better than ever honestly thanks for looking after us.” Ethan said as he stretched his limbs and proceeded to stand up.
“Alright I will get started on your paperwork for you guys release, you guys can leave whenever you’re ready.
I will have your documents sent to your address on file, it’s this address in D.C correct?” The doctor said as he began to look at the papers on the clipboard in his hands.
“Yes that should be correct.” Jack said as he also got up and began doing some stretches.
The boys quickly changed clothes putting on the Sweatsuits the Investigations unit had given them, surprisingly the pants had what seemed to be some technical state of the art shoes attached to them with material that seemed to contort and change based on the weight and motion of the person wearing them.
The sweatsuits were navy blue with a white star on top of each shoulder while the pants had gold stars on the back of both calves.
The pants tapered down into what looked almost like socks with solid bottoms as the material on top of the feet was more rigid.
The tops had one large pocket with zippers on each side and a flap that had a second layer pocket inside and on the pocked was the letters FBSA.
Seeing the boys coming out of the room the guards saluted as they walked out making the situation slightly awkward for the three.
“Stop you guys don’t have to do this, why are you saluting anyway?” Ethan quickly said as he started moving to push the guards hands down.
“My apologies sir, the car is waiting outside they have been on standby since we arrived.
We will explain on the way.” The guard closest to Ethan’s room stated as the other two guards moved to lead the way while they followed closely behind Ethan and the rest.
All four guards were dressed in suits similar to the one the captain was wearing only they had a navy blue suit jacket on top of a white button down, with black slacks and a sleek pair of business shoes.
They quickly made it to the ground floor making it outside where they were greeted by the blazing sun and a wave of monstrous clouds on the horizon.
There was also a large truck that looked to be a military humvee only all black in color with an eye that had an eagle in its iris insignia on its side.
Getting into the humvee they could see that its interior was actually quite luxurious as the back seat of the humvee was designed to resemble a meeting room seating up to 10 passengers as all the seats were facing towards the middle where a small table had been placed.
They all piled into the humvee which was much larger than they had expected from their initial observation.
After getting into the vehicle the guard they had initially spoken to after being saluted began to speak as the truck pulled off.
“First, I want to let you know about our travel plans from our current location Pensacola, Florida to D.C it is about a half days journey normally but we will be driving through a storm which under normal circumstances wouldn’t be too much of a hindrance but with the way things are now I suspect there might be some unforeseen issues along the way so we will be taking the journey slowly using as many well populated routes as possible while driving through the storm.
Next…” the soldier spoke before he was cut off by Jack.
“My wife said she had already began the journey with our belongings a few hours ago, why would a storm possibly hold us up?” Jack asked his annoyance leaking through his voice.
“My apologies sir, storms have long been considered to bring spirits and different violent energies with them some saying that a storm represented the coming of the wrath of gods.
While other times it represented different gods taking actions.
There is a complete world myth and folklore guide that was released by the department of defense about 5 days ago as a required reading for all of its employees classified a secret information not to be spread to the general public, honestly I don’t really know what we can expect fully but I know that everything that’s happening right now is more real than we could ever imagine.
The populated routes should be safer since the dukes recently assigned to the territory have created a vanguard.” The man said causing the others to only sit there silently as they contemplated this new information.
Seeing none of them had anything to say the man continued, “our second order of business is to explain to you guys the message that was given to us by our superiors, you two and your parents will be given full access to our research regarding supernatural abilities, and a budget to order or acquire anything you two might need.
You are directly under the captain in terms of position in the company, so naturally you outrank us however during this ride you are to read the FBSA guidelines and you can ask us any questions you need.” “Wait I thought you guys were with the Federal Investigations Unit?” Jason asked as he looked down at his sweatsuit reading FBSA.
“The Investigation unit is almost a front we used in the past, the investigations unit primary goal is to apprehend and assimilate supernatural and extraordinary people to prevent them from causing harm to the general public.” The man spoke clearly dropping another bombshell on the three after they had first heard of the president mention the FBSA only last night.
