Family

Evans loaded bullets into the zombie he was holding by arm, while Damien used shadow manipulation to kill zombies, he formed a shadow blade using his shadow, then used it strike the back neck of the zombie behind him whilst kicking the one in front few feet away from him. 

Damien had a crazy thought; he was not sure if it might work so he sent a message to Evans using telepathy 

"I need you to cover for me, I need to try something stupid", Evans glanced at him like he was mad but nodded. Damien attracted zombies towards himself, making sure there were enough shadows surrounding him, then he disappeared from the spot he was standing at before appearing behind a zombie and before loading a bullet into it, this kept on for roughly two hours while Evans covered for him. 

Damien and Evans were piling up the zombies' body before Evans set the pile on fire, watching it burn to crisp. They walked back towards the Jeep and met Raven on top of the jeep with a sleeping Athena and a pistol in his hand, the jeep looked wrecked and there were vines on the ground, they didn't need a genius to tell them what had happened. 

They all walked toward the gate of the safe house, making sure there were no zombies around, Raven opened the gate using a hidden mechanism and they all slipped in, the safe house was less of a safe house and more of a mansion, it ran on solar energy and there were about twenty-five rooms a. 

Raven walked up the stairs to the first flow, picked on the rooms and put Athena on the bed, so she could be more comfortable then walked back out to meet Damien and Evans, when he got there they were already in a conversation, so he just joined in.

Evans glanced at Damien, he opened and then closed his mouth, Damien already expecting it, just looked at him and decided to speak. 

"If you're wondering about the stunt I pulled earlier when fighting zombies, I decided to do that on a whim it is called shadow teleportation" 

Raven looked at both confused but then thought it probably had to do with their powers, which he wasn't there to witness so he just decided to keep mum then. 

"I thought if I could hide in the shadows like I did earlier back then when we were testing our powers, I'd be able to move within shadows and it worked" Evans had a look of awe on his face while Damien looked smug. 

"Guys, where are we?" hearing this voice they all froze and turned towards the stairway finding Athena standing atop it with a look of confusion on her face, she made her way to them before sitting on a solo couch.

Before she could speak, they all started firing questions at her, asking her if she was okay or not, if she felt any pain or if she felt dizzy, it wasn't until they noticed she was looking at them with a raised brow before they all quieted down, giving her a sheepish look.

Athena looked at them and then thought of the scene she witnessed before she felt Raven trying to heal, she didn't know where the memory came from, and the was also stressed because she couldn't make out the identity of the people in the memory, but she was sure that the three of them were part of the people in that memory, remembering the fate of they faced she silently vowed to protect all of them with all the power she had, because she could feel that she'd been accepted into their group and they didn't just feel like she was a task. 

Raven watched as Athena had a silent talk with herself and felt he understood whatever was going on in her head, so he walked towards her and squatted at eye level towards her and ruffled her hair gaining a confused look from her but he just smiled and asked if she was alright to which she nodded her head to, he stood up dragging both Evans and Damien with him as he walked away. 

"Athena get some snacks from the pantry, it's to your left, then rest for a while after we'll teach you how to check whatever power you got and how to use it okay?" Raven said as Athena then he walked away with Damien and Evans. 

Athena looked at them with a confused expression before she shrugged and got up to the pantry, picked a snack and walked up to the room she was placed in. Meanwhile at the kitchen area the boys were having a conversation. 

"Whatever you heard don't mention it Damien" Raven said making Damien look at him with a shocked expression. 

"Uh guys what's going on, I'm not aware unlike you guys" Evans said feeling frustrated. 

"You don't need to just know everything, just know that the little girl accepted us as family" Raven said with a happy face relishing the frustrated look on Evans face. 

Evans had a look of shock which then converted to a happy face and then a confused face before a resigned face, he looked at both with a questioning look in his eyes to which they both nodded making Evans sigh. 

"Well as long as she's alright then-" A scream from the bedroom made them all jump and run in Athena's direction. 

Athena looked around and all she could see was a blanket of darkness surrounding her and beneath her feet she could feel water but a sticky kind and something told her the water meant something important. She walked forward for a while until she felt tired, she felt like she'd been walking forever so she rested. 

After what felt like years she finally saw a beam of red light so she walked towards it, there was a door in front of her and everything in her being screamed at her not to walk through but she still did anyways, it was not so dark afterwards because red light filled the surrounding she was at giving it a bit of brightness, Athena glanced around and could not figure out where she was, she felt like she was forgetting something important but could not remember it for the life of her so she ignored it. 

She walked towards what looked like an alter and on it there was writing in bold "RUN, DO NOT LOOK BACK" it had a weird symbol at the bottom and a code like number which stated "40NO12" she touched it and felt the engravement of both code and symbol on the alter while also memorizing it. 

As she was about to leave the room when she suddenly felt the most malevolent aura she's ever felt. She froze unwillingly, straining to look around yet she could neither see what nor who emitted this aura. It enveloped her from behind, and she was suddenly unable to breathe, the feeling of being choked overwhelming her. After struggling for a brief moment, she was violently flung away, crashing into nothingness and landing in the sticky liquid she looked around, what she saw caused her scream in agony, her head felt like it was splitting into eight different parts.

She looked at the figure walking towards her, it was about 7ft tall, and it was surrounded by darkness, it looked murky, and her chest burned whenever she glanced at it, she felt loss looking at it, the figure stared down at her before stomping down on back and then she blacked out.
