To The Base
The next day, at the mansion Evans and the rest could be seen loading stuff into a seven-seater jeep, little Marcus was placed in the middle roll while Athena sat beside him, after while the rest of the guys entered the jeep.
"The power supply has been cut off and I can't access the internet, nor is there any signal on my phone, luckily we have solar panels" Raven said.
"I'm not surprised, I expected this to happen earlier though" Damien said while driving towards the gate, while Evans opened and closed it with a remote.
Little Marcus and Athena were chatting on the side, while Raven watched them dotingly oblivious to the look Damien and Evans were shooting his way. Little Marcus soon fell asleep, Athena followed after and Damien, leaving Raven and Evans awake.
"Don't use to her to play out your fantasies Raven, take this as a warning" Evans said in a serious manner, meanwhile Raven just glanced at him and said nothing.
They soon reached the base but were stopped as there were other cars queuing Infront of then, the owners of the vehicles Infront were talking rather loudly making the rest in the car stir awake.
"Why are we not allowed entrance, there were others before us, but they were allowed entrance this doesn't make sense, you guys are the military you're supposed to protect us civilians, I didn't pay taxes for all this" a man with a beer belly and bald head shouted out loud, seeing as he spoke up others around echoed along, seeing this the man became way more louder, shouting about how unfair it was.
Raven frowned at the noise and told the rest to stay in the car that he was going to check on what was going on, meanwhile Little Marcus slept through the noise. Raven walked towards the small crowd that had formed to find out what was going on.
"What's going on? I and my siblings just got here, I heard one of you say they won't be letting us in the base?" he asked. By now there were more cars at the back of the seven-seater Jeep that brought them to the base, and more people were getting out of their cars to check on what's happening.
The man who was the loudest a few minutes ago huffed in annoyance at being interrupted then turned to Raven to cuss him out, but when he saw his features and the quality of clothes he was wearing, he adopted a pleasing attitude and explained what was going on.
Raven went back to the jeep, got in and shook his head at Evans.
"At this rate, that their making noise, they'll attract zombies" Damien said, and like a Crow's beak they heard the first roar, Little Marcus who was deeply asleep shook and then he started trembling, Athena looked at him and then whispered a few words to him before taking him into her space alongside her, she placed him in a guest room in the villa, told him to stay put before she appeared back in the car with a backpack.
"What?" she asked, looking at the guys staring at her like she'd grown two heads.
"Is he fine?" Evans asked a bit worried
"He's asleep, don't worry" Athena said, in the short moment they conversed, they were screams heard. Athena set up her gun and climbed on the roof of the truck while Evans told the guys to stay in the car while he and Athena work with the zombies at first, they didn't understand till Evans pointed in a direction.
Athena, on top of the car shot down zombies with precision and accuracy, while Evans worked with his flame, they were other superpower users fighting as well and a few..... cowards.
At the back of the car queue, a lady got down from the car in a hurry, on the other side of the car the man in the driver's seat had his neck in between a zombie's teeth. She ran in the direction of the superpower users looking for protection while some zombies seeing her running and screaming chased after her, the lady frightened and not knowing what to do ran in the direction of Evans while she pushed a lady using a sword in the direction of the zombie, due to her running and glancing behind her she bumped into Evans this disturbance from her made him cease the use of his fire powers causing the zombies Infront of him to gain the upper hand.
"Evans I'll cover you, come back to the car" Athena shouted from the roof of the car, dropped her gun and picked a rapid-fire gun strapped on her shoulder before aiming and shooting at the zombies, in the process of her shooting the cowardly lady got shot on the shoulder, she screamed before she fainted.
Meanwhile the lady with the sword that was pushed towards the zombies was faring well, she stabbed at the neck of the zombies while slicing their necks of. soon the influx of zombies stopped and they were all removed, Evans went around burning the zombies, then stopped when he felt exhuasted.
No one cared about the lady that got shot on the shoulder, treating her as one of the dead, the rest of the people gathered round and checked for injuries and any sign of them being infected by zombies. The cowardly lady coughed and then moaned in pain while trying to sit up, in the process she attracted the others attention, they all gathered around her checking if she was okay and helping her to bandage her wound, luckily she got grazed unless it'll be worse. seeing everyone caring about her, she started to lay out her grievances, exclaiming about how the girl on the car roof shot her.
Athena who was sitting on the hood of the car just looked at her as if she was stupid, then looked at other people who were giving her accusatory looks, seeing her dead gaze, they all turned their head away.
"Don't you think you should be apologizing?" a man said with a righteous look, others behind him echoed their agreement.
Athena for one would never shoot randomly at anyone, but she was the first person to make her feel that way, seeing her bump into Evans and almost costing him his life she was very upset, she herself didn't know she was upset, she just looked at her and the man who was asking for an apology before turning her head away.
"I haven't settled my score with you, and here you are demanding an apology from someone who was protecting your life, I have never met people as shameless as you guys"
