CAGED

The monster that possessed Lilith and that boy was a parasite which was one of a kind.

It laid an egg which had its exact genotype in its host through a sharp genital located on its tongue then left to find another host, while the baby started to merge with the person and soon took control of their mind, memories, emotions, everything, that's why Lilith didn't stop it.

The explanation for why we didn't sense it was that it started out like a virus, which was too small for us to sense, without zooming.

It spread from cell to cell until they were in great enough numbers to overcome the host, then they put it in a chrysalis for a few weeks as it changed to have a diet based on petroleum products, especially pure gasoline.

It also had the ability to increase one's level at a genetically molecular level, and impart the knowledge of whatever skills were needed by its host to achieve its goal, food and a home for its offspring, which was also why she was able to deflect Frankie's dark energy attack.

All she had to do was increase the vapour and sand pressure around the expanding area and since energy cannot be destroyed, it was simply contained.

All she had to do next was move that highly pressurized zone in the direction she wanted, in that case was back to Frankie.

Then she let go to allow it to make the atoms in the ice wall expand explosively, right before contracting, with the pressure of a vacuum.

It was just by luck and a whole lot of emotion that Anneliese was able to defeat her on her dual level 5.33 which she retained after she was cured.

How Lilith found Frankie's dad was a simple trick made by the combination of the mineral and water aspect of controlling minds.

It was like Forget Me Not, but much more powerful as the person they saw didn't need to be related to them, only to someone they touched.

It went off by itself in a split second but the person understood every single moment of it.

Since the day Lilith told us of Frankie's father's position, I began practicing making and breaking polymers of all kinds using hydrolysis and hygroscopy, adding and subtracting water molecules to and from monomers and polymers to make new compounds.

Since I was using ions (hydrogen ions) and radicals (hydroxide ions), I had to ionize the water with a single charge in each group.

This meant I had to make the water into plasma with single charges for each ion, just like making acids and bases, only, this time, I made proteins, plastics, lipids and more.

I also realized I could control the movement and reactions of any molecule which had either positively charged hydrogen ions, negatively charged hydroxide ions or negatively charged oxygen ions.

I found this out since I had the ability to control water in its plasma state and ice XVIII.

This skill was similar to my Green Thumb and had the same limitations, the more the ions I could control, the greater my influence on the molecule.

This meant I could not only make and break polymers but I could move them around and make new ones up.

I could also cool down water molecules till they made all their electrons lie on the lowest energy level, as in Bose Einstein Condensate then make the effective nuclear charge of the neucli of the hydrogen and oxygen atoms increase significantly causing all the electrons to be merged with the protons, making a monumentally dense, heavy and extremely radioactive neutron ball, this was very dangerous and I had no control over it since it was no more water but just a clump of neutrons with a density similar to that of a neutron star so I decided not to use it much.

Frankie was very eager to help his dad but we insisted he kept on training since we didn't know the capabilities of this new enemy, so he obliged.

The fact that that parasite infected my daughter and almost made her destroy a whole city was a great enough accusation to get my children out of that ' business ' they were in, where they solved the world's problems without anything in return other than criticism and more problems to solve, but, they didn't want that, they wanted to help people in any way they could, including overusing their lights, I didn't know the effects of that but I allowed them.

But on the other hand, my children were blooming like roses, with their skill arsenal increasing everyday and their level, accelerating every month, I was so proud of them.

The man was sitting on a chair, working with some chemicals and Franklin had been hanging upside down in the air for several minutes, increasing the potential energy in his body by so much, he didn't fall.

He go bored then placed his arms down then followed with his feet.

He groaned then yelled,"At least torture me or something! You are the worst world dominator I have ever been with!"

The man looked at him from the corners of his eyes, but remained silent.

Frankie had seen or more accurately had heard from experience that whatever material the cage he was in was made of, reflected all sorts of energy with almost 100% efficiency.

For instance, wave energy as in light and sound, it allowed low amounts to pass through but the moment they exceeded a threshold frequency, amplitude or intensity, they were reflected back to him, his best option was to dissipate as much of that energy as possible and absorb the rest since they moved faster than he could think, but even then, his clothes and eyes were all battered up and his ears were still ringing.

For electrical energy, it somehow absorbed all the electricity like a perfect superconductor but its electrons weren't removed from their shells, the new electrons just flowed around without any resistance from the bound ones.

They reached a point where they could go no further then were forced back with the same force they came with in the exact same path and shot out of it.

It was also elastic, making it reflect all kinetic energy yet even when he increased the potential energy in it at the same time as increasing the kinetic energy in his fist, it was strong enough to overcome that mixture of forces.

He couldn't also control his light outside the borders of the cage so he couldn't attack the man.

Franklin sat with his legs crossed then yelled,"Yo freak show, how come you're dressed like a midieval knight but you mix chemicals like Einstein? Hey! I'm talking to you!"

The man finally looked at him then walked closer, but with every step he made, a crippling fear gripped Franklin's heart and he had no idea where it came from since he considered himself too dumb to know fear.

The man stopped about a foot away from the cage and Franklin was standing against the wall on the opposite side, trying to stay as far from the man as possible.

The man looked at him with his head down and an electric blue glimmer passed through his eyes, that just made Franklin's heart sink.

The man then said,"I found it..."
