Spaceship

Coming back from the store, Adam was whistling. Having bought every high energy food, he was in a good mood.

Noticing a crowd of people, all huddled up trying to cover something was quite startling. Asking a random person, he asked:"What's going on around here?".

"Man, lay off," he said full of hostility. "Someone over there was shot, and whoever shot him is still in the crowd".

This is a good test for my powers Adam thought. Moving to the area of the incident. His jaws dropped when he noticed the person on the floor was James. Pushing away the crowd, he kneeled holding James head on his lap.

He checked to see if James was still alive. Putting his finger under his nose. He knew that James was still breathing albeit weakly. He was shot in the chest and was quite lucky to be alive.

"Someone call the ambulance," he said to no one in particular. No one seemed to mind that he just asked them to call the hospital. They were just curious to see who had been shot.

Sighing in disgust at the people around him. He pulled out his cell phone calling 911. He suddenly felt harmful intent against him. Someone was looking at him, and they did not have good intentions.

Looking around cautiously, he took off his shirt. Pressing it against James wound to stop the blood from gushing out. Suddenly Adam felt danger, forgetting about James in his lap. He quickly jumped up.

A bullet just pierced were he was at, narrowly missing James.

Thanking God in his heart. He backed away, the originally bustling crowd went quiet. As if a bomb went soon enough everybody started running away from the area. People pushing each other trying to avoid getting shot.

A gun started going off shooting bullets everywhere.

Trying to look for James. He pushed around the crowd but did not find a trace of him. Taking a deep breath he reached out to his mental energy and spread it around the area.

Oddly he had a map of what was going on in the surrounding area.

He finally spotted James, he was being trampled by the feet of other people. Pushing against the tide of people, he reached James. Grabbing the shirt that he dropped he pressed it unto James wound and lifted him up.

Just as he was leaving the crowd with James. He felt an alarm go off in his head. Not knowing what was happening.

His heart started to speed up, and his mental energy suddenly flowed into his heart making his heart beat faster. Suddenly he could notice everything in his area, started slowing down around.

He turned around just to see. The bullet moving at him, but at a slower than usual speed, He could follow the bullet trajectory with his eyes.

With all his effort he leaned back, barely dodging the bullet. Then everything went back to normal speed. He suddenly felt really heavy, heaving in exhaustion he mustered all his effort to carry James out of the crowd.

Hearing police sirens he moved toward them. Touching a police officer by the shoulder. They did not even react to him. Not knowing what to do, he wondered if he could push images or thought into there mind.

Reaching for his mental energy again, he noticed he was severely drained. Touching his mental energy, with all his effort. He pushed a picture of blood all over James and himself.

The police finally noticing James. He shouted for a medic. When the medic came, he gave James to them telling them to treat his friend, and that he was not shot. Getting out of the crowd, he remembered that he left all of his grocery's at the floor where James was shot.

Groaning he walked back in the direction of the grocery store.

**************************************************************************************************

Opening the door to the apartment. He checked to see if anyone was home. He walked into the kitchen seeing a note on the refrigerator.

"I have gone to the hospital to check on James see you later. P.S Tom.

Hoping that Tom was okay. He went to his room and started to train his powers. He used to table as is practice target.

The table was about 9 kilograms, reaching for his mental energy. He made a link to the table. He started by moving the table up and down, practicing using it as a club. It was really taxing, it only took 5 minutes before he felt drained.

Destroying the link he made with the table. He tried to remember what happened during, the accident a couple of hours ago.

He could feel harmful intent against him. It was like a spidey sense, he could feel that he was about to get injured. And his body moved away accordingly.

He used the control over his body to increase the beating of his heart, and everything slowed down. Remembering the feeling he once again directed his mental energy at his heart making it beat faster. He could suddenly, see that everything was moving slower.

He spotted a fly moving in the air, very slowly. He easily moved his hand slapping it away. He let out a gasp as his mental energy was suddenly drained. It looks like it took a lot of energy to maintain the weird state.

He checked the time seeing it was about, 6 pm. He decided to go to the gym. Walking down to the gym, he noticed that everything was oddly quiet. Turning on his mental mapping ability. He checked to see if anyone was in their dorm room.

Oddly no one was in there room. Adam was finding that severely alarming. There were no classes today, and everybody seemed to be chilling earlier on.

Deviating from his path to the gym, he went outside hoping to see anybody.

There was no one outside, the cars were not moving, no one was walking on the sidewalk, bikes were left laying on the pavement.

Suddenly the sun that was originally shining brightly, was suddenly overshadowed by something.

Lifting his head up, his jaws dropped. There was a giant spaceship in the sky. Confused on what was happening a beam of light suddenly shined down from the spaceship enveloping him.

That was when he blacked out.

Waking up to weird gurgling sounds, he noticed he was on a hospital bed. Looking around to see where he was he saw that there were other people around him.

Trying to move up he noticed his hands were shackled to the hospital bed.

The gurgling sound came back louder than before. Trying to break out of the shackles, he heard a monotonous voice.

"Human it's better you don't try to break out of those shackles", moving his head to look at who said that. His eyes popped open in alarm. In front of him was a giant jelly squid with a gaping mouth full of sharp teeth looking at him.
