"I can walk calmly now…" Rhea mutters as she walk away from the area, heading to the emergency stairs once again. She stares down from the railings, staring at the bottom of the floor, she thinks for a while, can she take the impact? After a while of arguing with herself, she jumps down and counts the floor she passed.
And when her counting pass ten, she grab the railings with her left hand, she stares down at the height, before pulling her body up, and land her foot on 20th floor. She dust her clothes off and checks her watch, 7 minutes left until she can use her Time Stop abilities. She sighs and walk down the stairs.
"Launch the drone." Connor demands, "But sir! It's for intruders-" Luciana was cut off by Connor, "Do I have to repeat myself?" He asks glaring daggers at her, as Luciana bows in apologies, and press a drone button on her tab. Connor touch the holographic projector, electric sparks from his finger as the holographic projector works once again, and appears in front of him.
"80%?" Connor utters under his breath as his eyes were both shows surprises, and proudness of his daughter. "Releases all of them in the same time." He said to Luciana. Luciana look at him in shock before nodding, "Y-Yes. As you wish."
"It's already 20:00? I have to hurry. I don't want to get killed by Victoria." Rhea said and quicken her pace, stepping down the stairs, until plasma beam were shoot at her directions, she widened her eyes in surprises and quickly duck down, covering her head, as the wall behind her crumbles. 'What kind of father he is?! He really want to kill me or what?!' Rhea thoughts and turns around to run up the stairs.
Another beam passes Rhea's head, she gulped when she sees the wall in front of her melt. She take a glance of what or who is behind her, only to see 5 drones. They shoot their plasma beams once again, as Rhea quickly rolled to the side shoot one of the drone with her Electrokinesis, they shook violently with electrics before dying down, "Yes!" She cheered as it was interrupted with another plasma beam beside her head.
"Where is Mistress? It passed 1 hour from what she promised on…" Markus asks himself as he tries to look for Rhea, but got no sign of her, 'Where did she go?...' He thoughts getting worried until he got a call from someone. He grab his phone from his pocket and look at the caller, "Miss Victoria?" He mutters before swiping the green button.
"Hello? What may you need, Miss Victoria?" Markus asks into the phone, "Is Mistress Rhea with you?" She asks hurriedly, while looking at the big screen in front of her, zero bars on any of Rhea's devices, full bars on the other siblings, as their locations were shows under the bars, but no signal on Rhea's locations.
"Um…No, I'm trying to find her, what's wrong?" Markus asks noticing the worries in her voices, "where were you?" Victoria asks, while pressing a couple keys on the keyboard in front the big screen. "In the city, in front of a store Mistress likes to buy things…I'm sorry, I can't read it, it's written in Japanese characters." Markus said tilting his head to the side as he try to read it, but he can't even guess what character is it.
"I see…you're in there…no sign of Mistress?" Victoria asks again, "No, I've tried to search but I didn't see any sign of her." Markus said hanging his head down in disappointment of himself. "Something must happening, she didn't pick up her phone." Victoria said getting more worried, and glances at the big screen in front of her, "Is she? Try to contact her watch, I believe I've seen her wearing her watch." Markus said trying to give her a hope, "There's no signal last time I checked…Oh wait! There's signal!" Victoria said surprises when she sees Rhea's faint 1 to 2 bars that keeps raising and decreasing on the big screen in front of her, "Really? Try to contact her then!" Markus said as his hope raises.
"Mhm! I'll do it!" Victoria nods and press a button that have Rhea's watch, beeping sounds were first heard, until statics sounds interfere, among the statics sounds she can hears Rhea's faint panting sounds and footsteps. "Mistress Rhea! Can you hear me?" Victoria asks, the voices ratio rises up and down, "…Victoria! Uhh…can we talk later? I'm on a chases, as you may hear." Rhea said, statics sounds interfering with her voices, "Where were you? And why are you on a run?" Victoria asks, trying not to raise her voices, as she put her down on the table, "Err…You see…I'm in Tempest Inc. I know, I know, it's surprising! Whoa! Chill!" Rhea tells her where she's at and screams when plasma beams grazes her cheek.
"Tempest Inc.? How'd you get there?" Victoria asks, since she remembers telling her to not ever step a foot inside the building, "I asks Mikazuki and Markus!" Rhea raises her voices as a thud were hears in the background with a couple more footsteps. Victoria was about to asks again, until Rhea shouts, "Sorry! Catch ya later!" Rhea said before turning off her communications.
Rhea ended the call and looks behind her, to see more drones, Rhea groans in frustrations, they shoot their plasma beams all at the same time, as Rhea succeed on dodging half of them, but they also succeed on scratching her ears, cheeks and right shoulder. She rolled to the side and hide behind the railings, she winces at the stinging pains on her wounds, she take a glance at her watch, as it shows 30 seconds left until she can uses her Time Stop abilities. She take a glance behind the railings, to see the drone scanning the area in order to search for her.
She looks at the sign in front of her, telling her she's in 25th floor. She look at her watch as 20 seconds left, she can see the green scanners things the drone have besides her, and about to scan her foot, she quickly retracted her foot, she grab her scarf, pressing it in between both of her palm, until it forms like a ball. She take a peak above the railings and throws the scarf, gaining their attentions, as they hurriedly flies to where the scarf it.
Rhea took the chance to jumps down the railings, as they sharply turns around and look down at Rhea's falling body, they shoot their plasma beams, before it can hits her, she uses her Time Stop abilities and enabled the gravitations, so she can continue her falls.
She didn't counts the floor she passed, which is pretty bad, and she don't have times to grab the railings, she looks down to sees the ground so close to her, electric sparks from her body, as it travels down to her foots. Electricity is everything to her in every situations, well, except when she's in water, she's facing death itself if she actives it while in a pool, or surrounds by water.
She can uses her electric to guard her body and decreases the impact to her body, she can also activates devices that does not connected to the socket. And she can fully recharge her phone and watch in no time! Well, of course, there will always be a consequences, it will explodes if she charge it that method way too much.
She lands on both of her foot, craters made around where her foots lands, since she falls at a pretty high speed, she deactivate her Electrokinesis, to save her sources of power and opens the door in front of her, leaving the emergency stairs place. When she closes the door, she can hear the crashes those plasma beams made.
She look at her watch, 21 minutes were shows in her watch screen. She releases a sigh and looks at the place she's in, the first floor, or the lobby. Her eyes wanders around the lobby, noticing a couple of painting, vase, seats and the reception near the door, her eyes finally lands on the door. It feels like you have cleared the level of a difficult game, and finally see the exit after a long play time.
She walk toward the door, as her walk turns to a jog, until it turns to a run, every single steps feels like stepping to heaven, the thoughts of leaving a living hellhole, that she will not miss. She pushes the glass door with both of her hands, as she sees the brightness of lamps along with the busy roads, car, motorcycles, and trucks passed her eyes in a flash, leaving their red flashes from the back lamps.
She pants, staring at the view she misses, even though it's just for half an hour inside. She closes her eyes and inhales the fresh air, a smile of happiness forms on her face, she's happy that she can accomplished on getting out from this building that her father controls. She's happy that she can get out from his territory.
Snowflakes lands to her head, and nose, causing her to sneezes, "Agh! I'm going to catch a cold if I continue standing here!" She groaned and covers her nose with her long sleeves arms. She feels another snowflakes lands on her head, until someone blocks it with their book.
"Hah?" She asks looking up to the person who covers her head, "Hey! Uhh…what are you doing in the middle of snow without any warm clothes?" The person who covers her head turns out to be Michael, as he greets her brightly.
