Times Hand

The year was 2050 when nuclear war broke out, billions of people died within the first year alone, and the world as people knew it was completely gone. Scientist from the countries of America, Britain, Germany, and Japan got together to attempt to find a way to prevent mutual destruction from the war. When they came up with the answer. If humans couldn’t live on earth we would just have to live on the closest choice, the moon. Of course just because we had left didn’t meant the radiation didn’t affect us before we left.

Sitting in my bed ignoring the call of my name I contemplate how to prevent the trouble to come and the only way I could think of is too call the Mutation Police and turn myself in as a mutant even though I will not show as a mutant in the test.

I get up and dressed but instead of waiting for the bus I go to the emergency call button and press it waiting until the police show up, I wait only five minutes when the police arrive on a miniature aircraft dressed in full body armor and weapons in their hands I feel nervous but walk up to them.

"I had a dream last night on the entire exam as well as on the exam hall being bombed and someone sneaking in to the file room to steal information and if you do not believe me I can tell you all the questions on the test as well as one of the people who will be a mutant, I am turning myself over into custody despite you not being able to detect me as a mutant for the sake of saving lives."

I can see the look of confusion as they have probably never had such a situation happen before although it wasn't actually a dream but more like I lived through the events.

"Child you realize this makes you sound insane correct?" The man in front asks.

"Yes but when it is proven true you will be accused of derelict of duty for not investigating such serious claim." He is clearly displeased at this but also looks worried as the fact I am willing to risk doing this means my confidence in this being real is high, the man looks me in the eyes and the turns to his men.

"Take her to the holding center for testing while sending troupes too the exam hall to check the whole place for any threats. She is to be tested on what is on the exams without being given the exam and will also be with us to point out who is the mutant."

I am first brought too the center for blood drawing then they escorted me too the exam hall too write the questions down and to double check them, when it is shown I did know the questions they had me wait in front of the medical scan section of the exam to point out the mutant as my results come back negative as a mutant myself.

I point to the boy who shows up only thirty minutes after entering and see them nod there heads when I say he will fight back.

Finally a call comes over the ear piece of the guy next too me who is supposed to watch over me and he looks at me with a hard look as he says, "The men found with a bomb have been arrested in the old oxygen ducts, we are searching for there accomplices we thank you for coming forward despite the suffering this will bring you."

I am taken out of the hall by a back passage way to a waiting area with kids all around my age most likely those who tested positive as mutants, most have a black armband on there left arm but a few have cuffs put on and two have both cuffs and anklet cuffs.

I stand out due to being brought in by the police but they stay away and no one makes a sound as a black aircraft of the mutant control center comes one of the men get out and approaches the man next too me who has remained with me since the police took me from my neighborhood for testing.

He indicates for me not to move and the Mutant control guy goes off to the side to talk with him and freezes after the police man tells him something, the control center guy gains a look of worry as he peeks at me then back.

After a bit of back and forth the control center guy comes up to me and also waves to the aircraft, people come out of the aircraft and begin to take the other students into the aircraft.

The center guy near me has me wait before he leads me to a different door on the aircraft and puts me in to a separate room while also sitting down in the room himself, the man has not explained anything too me most likely believing it is best I do not know yet.

The room I have been taken to is filled with soft sofas and covered in cushions no other furniture was here and the center person does not have any weapons on him unlike the other people that cam out of the aircraft.

It is a while before we stop and we do not move for a while although I can't tell the time exactly due to lack of access to the outside as there is no windows.

Finally after a lot of waiting in silence a door opens and a woman in soft clothes comes in looking very gentle as she walks up to the man and the man makes hand gestures before leaving the room and the woman walks up too me.

"Your name is Arizona Phoenix Manson, correct?" She asks in a slow manner seemingly trying to not stress me.

"Yes." No point hiding who I am.

"You are the one who notified the police on an attack on the exam hall, we thank you for that but I need you too tell me you are the one who had the vision and are not just coming in for someone else correct. If you are you need to tell us the person who did." It seems this isn't the first time they have had someone come in due to seeing the future, and from the looks of things those that did may not have been mentally stable when they did.

"I am the one with the vision, I can tell you all the little details if it would make believing easier if so." I reply.

"No I believe you I just need to make sure, This is your first vision correct." 

"That is correct." 

"Okay then I need you to tell me how the vision was, whether it felt like you where living though the events or if you saw it through a outside perspective I need you to describe the vision as best as possible."

I tell her it was like I wasn't even dreaming but more like living it myself and that all the sensations felt real I told her that it was more like I had two visions one showing me the original route and then the alternative route and then I awoke knowing neither would work so I did this instead. She appeared disturbed when I told her I could feel in the visions and described my two deaths too her but I made sure to make it seem like it was a dream and not like I actually thought it happened.

She appeared to tap something into her wrist comm before returning her attention back to me and telling me that someone will be here soon and that I will be staying in a lightly different place then most other mutants for both my safety and theirs.

I wait and a man in a white doctors coat and an older looking face comes, it is rare to see someone that looks old as although anti-aging are rare there are plenty of cheap drugs to keep one looking young even if there body isn't.

"Follow me child and we will take you to your new residence and get you settled in as I am sure this is discomforting not knowing what is happening or going on, we will settle you in then explain your situation."

I am finally taken off the aircraft and into a place that looks like a mix between a hospital and a high grade hotel.

On the first floor there is many guards and military people all over and I can see two emergency care boxes on the walls just in the first room alone, we go to an elevator where the man has his I.D. chip scanned and my own is scanned before the door closes and we are taken down.

I am unsure how many floors down we go but when the elevator stops the doors open and a room filled with sofas and soft beanbags fill the area along with two guards on either side of the elevator, their is even more care boxes in here and all the furniture have padding around the corners it looks like a toddler room where someone's child has begun to crawl and they have to prevent accidents.

No one else is in the room except for us four and the doctor leads me to a hallway behind a set of iron door, also padded might I point out, I am brought to an area similar to the one outside but there is more to do here with different bookshelf's and computers along with game cabins.

I can see 10 doors beside the one I just came through made of soft white wood that is quiet rare, it is known as incense wood and is known too calm those that smell it down.

I am taken to the door with the number four on it and the doctor lifts my hand and places it on the door panel which makes it open, the room is spacious and has all my basic things in it along with two extra doors beside the main one.

Probably too a bathroom and closet, but the desk, game cabin, bookshelf with only a few books and many note books are organized around the room with an easel set up in the back corner.

I sit on the bad with white covers and pillow as I wait for the doctor to explain why it is I am given such drastically different treatment to most other mutants.

"You see child you are what we call a seer and ae capable of viewing the future when your death is immanent but many like you have been driven to insanity and suicide due to this so we can no longer send those like you to a place of danger as any possibility of death will be shown to you and you will experience it. You are not fit for combat but also can't stay in a normal society so we will give you anything you could want here in exchange that is this place is attacked you will have a vision of it and can warn us ahead of time."

I see because they worry I will potentially be useless if I go insane they instead make it so we are a forewarning against an attack, most likely important experiments and weapons are developed here so they can't risk it leaking.

Well that is one way to make use of such ability.
