28. Rise Of The Phoenix
Lynx, Power Surge and Stacey are in the control room of the Guardian Alliance headquarters. They face the large screen because they are currently in the middle of a chat with Leonis, who is both Lynx's and Power Surge's father.
"And just like that the fire disappeared?" Leonis
"Well from what I saw in the satellite video, it looked more like the flames were drawn in to a certain point. When I used X-ray it shows the source being that rookie fire fighter, Marcos Salazar." Stacey
"Where is he now?" Leonis
"We have a friend looking after him downstairs. Her name's Seraiah, she's a Jinn and Sigma said she can help with mystical stuff and what not." Lynx
"A Jinn? Since when?" Leonis
"Yeah its... A long story..." Lynx
"Alright well fill me in when me and Sky get back in a few days. Lenois, out." Leonis says ending transmission.
Lynx turns to Power Surge who has his arms crossed, leans against a console and didn't once look at the viewing screen.
"You really do get overwhelmingly glum in his presence." Lynx
"Not like I know what to say around him.. Let alone TO him...." Power Surge
"How about we go see how Seraiah's doing? That should cheer you up right?" Stacey says leading the way to where Seraiah and Marcos are located.
They enter one of the many training rooms and meet Both Seraiah and Marcos. Marcos lays flat on his back on the floor, Seraiah is on her knees with one hand over Marcos's forehead and the other over his heart.
"Anything new blue?" Power Surge
"There seems to be another entity residing inside of this body. A bird engulfed in flames. It seems to be weak so it is resting in order to regain its strength." Seraiah
"Um... Wait, wait, wait.... Did you just say a fire bird? As in the Phoenix fire bird?!" Power Surge
"Correct." Seraiah
"You know before all the magic and previous events occurred I would have definitely ruled this as ridiculous... But now?... Whoa!" Stacey
"That's awesome and all but do you know why its here?" Lynx
"No." Seraiah answers with an attitude.
".... Okay~ sorry I asked." Lynx responds feeling the hate.
Both Power Surge and Stacey looks back and forth between Seraiah and Lynx in confusion.
"Um... Maybe its time for a break yeah?" Stacey
"Y-yeah that sounds like a plan right?" Power Surge
"Whatever." Lynx
"Fine." Seraiah says then removed her hands from Marcos.
Marcos slowly sits upright scratching his head in disbelief.
"A Phoenix? No way.... How? Why me?" Marcos
"Its probably one of those destiny things. Don't think to much about it dude." Power Surge
Suddenly an alarm goes of from the communicator watches that Lynx, Stacey and Power Surge have on them.
"A sudden snowstorm appeared over New York?" Stacey
"This time of the year?" Power Surge
"We better focus on the multiple incidents happening all around because of it. Let's split up and get the job done! Alliance, get to it!" Lynx says then runs out.
Power Surge followed.
"Sigma sent you here to help us out right?" Stacey asks Seraiah.
"That is correct." Seraiah responded while getting to her feet.
"Well they could really use your help, if you're up for it that is." Stacey says pulling a Guardian Alliance communicator watch and holding it out infront of Seraiah.
Seraiah took a moment to look at the watch, takes it out of Stacey's hand, looks her in the eyes, nods then heads out to help.
"And as for you. You have a core temperature of over 300 degrees and rising! I'm guessing with that fire bird inside of you you'll most likely have pyrokinetic abilities." Stacey
"Sooooo not only am I a fireman, but now I'm an ACTUAL fireman?" Marcos says standing up from the floor.
"Well if that's how you'll understand it then yes. Just keep in mind that in order to use your pyrokinesis you must focus your mind." Stacey
"Yes sensei." Marcos responds while bowing his head.
Stacey sensed the sarcasm in Marco's response and couldn't help but smirk. Stacey's communicator would go off once more alerting of another danger.
"What now?" Marcos
"I've pin pointed the source of this frosty weather... Its coming from the the Brooklyn State Bridge of all places and it looks like..... What?... That's Tsunami! But, since when can he do ice?!" Stacey
"Who?" Marcos
"He's one out of three siblings that control the elements of Earth, wind and he's supposed to be water but it looks like he got an upgrade! The others are busy, I can't get a hold of Road Burn and to make things worse Sigma's off the radar! He's free to rome around." Stacey
"That is until I get down there and hold him off." Marcos
"What? No! You don't expect me to just let you go down there? Your inexperienced and you haven't even sparked a flame yet! No way!" Stacey
"OK 1: I've tackled multiple dangers before so this ain't my first rodeo. 2: I've been in more street fights than I can remember so I can take care of myself. 3: Even if I get flash frozen I'm pretty sure my "core temperature" will help me heat things up and finally... No one else is available." Marcos
Stacey thought it over and didn't have much to go on for a compelling argument. It got worse when she looked into his eyes. She then took off her watch and held it out.
"Take this until I get you one and you BETTER bring this back!" Stacey
"Yes ma'am!" Marcos says taking the watch.
Over at the bridge Tsunami uses his new abilities.
"Oh baby... Its cold outside." Tsunami
He continuously blasts rays of ice out of his hands freezing anything that isn't frozen. Including people.
"Don't leave! We're having such an ice day!" Tsunami
"Hey! Iceman!" Marcos
Tsunami turns to see Marcos standing firm.
"Well now, Iceman seems too cliché and obvious. I was thinking of, Cold Front! Now... Where could you have possibly come from?" Tsunami
"Teleporter. I know, very cool. Wish I had that ability. I WILL be using that a lot!..." Marcos
Without warning Tsunami, now calling himself Cold Front, blasts a ray of ice directly at Marcos. Steam was the result of the ice colliding with Marcos and covered his entire area until the steam dispersed revealing an un-frozen Marcos.
"Well.. What did you say your ability was?" Cold Front
"Let's just say... I'm too hot to handle." Marcos
