The man they captured sat crossed legs looking down at the ground.
"Alright, listen here." Katherine approached him, "We know, that you know who's behind the mask."
Mr Dhawan kept quiet, he wasn't willing to reveal anything to the three teens.
"He thinks we're playing around with him." Katherine noted.
Aiden punches his fist into his palm, "Maybe we should show him, how we really play around."
"Katherine smiles a bit before shaking her head, "No, no. I think you taught him enough of a lesson already tough guy."
"Indeed tough guy!" Static-Brain exclaimed, "I think a more, how would you say, less lethal approach is necessary."
"A less what?" Aiden raised a question.
"You simple minded brainless fools will not be able to comprehend what I meant." Static-Brain uttered, before smiling and laughing a bit, "Though it is understandable since you both purses the brain of an amphibian."
Katherine and Aiden shared an unamused glance.
"I hate it when he gets like this." Katherine sighed.
"Look Mr Megamind can you please just find a solution to our problem?"
Static-Brain clears his throat, "My apologies. Now the solution to our problem is a simple brain snap, a jolt that will spark the cells to the point of vibration which will ultimately lead to the two lips comforting one another in a tune of sound."
"Excuse me?" Aiden and Katherine questioned.
Static-Brain sighs and then opens his brain, "Stand back, the jolt may lead to a sense of pain that may or may not-"
"-I'll talk!" Mr Dhawan jumped.
Static-Brain's mouth curves downard, "I cannot say I am delighted at the fact you gave in so quick, nonetheless I cannot glare into the mouth of a gifted stalin-"
"-Okay that's enough from you pal." Aiden said, covering the mouth of Static-Brain with his palm.
"Alright man talk."
"Don't tell anyone I was the one who said this, but our organisation... The cult is everywhere in Middleton and our leader is-" The man looked up and his face turned pale, "-we have a meeting at the national park... The Middleton park, a bunch of cult members will gather to speak and discuss the next phase of our plan to run the city-"
"-stop exactly at that point. You were mere seconds away from revealing to us a truth when you changed your sentence."
"I think your reading way into this Cameron." Aiden uttered.
"Please simpleton..." Static-Brain opened his brain, "If you are not willing to tell us everything then I will just have to do what I said I was gonna do to you."
"I- I told you everything... That's all I know I swear to god that's-"
A green beam of electric energy shot out from Static-Brain's head shocking Mr Dhawan. The volt of the electricity increased mid shock to the point, Aiden pulled Katherine back since he could see the sparks shooting out.
The omnitrix flashed green reverting Cameron into himself and stopping the electrocution process.
Mr Dhawan fell over unconscious.
"Well it's safe to say that, I fucked up."
"You think?"
"Now what do we do?" Cameron raised a question.
"We head to the park, and capture another guy, so we can get information." Aiden suggested.
"Great idea." Katherine acknowledged, with a smile.
Cameron rolls his eyes, "I could have easily thought of that idea, but sure whatever."
"Here's the idea. Cameron you stay here, and Katherine and I will head to the meet up area."
"Why am I staying behind?!" Cameron voiced his shock in a question.
"For one you cannot be trusted; you were your smartest alien, and you still ended up making a stupid decision. Second; you're watch is in cool down, you're more a liability than you are an asset." Aiden responded.
"Some friend you are."
"Still love you though buddy."
Cameron smiles. "I'm kinda liking this version of you buddy."
➜ [ Middleton [National Park]
When the two arrived at the park, it was clear as day who the two spies were or cult members in this scenario. In the park while everyone was doing their own stuff, there were two men who were sitting across one another on park benches both speaking to someone on the phone, at times they would share small glances and nods.
"It's definitely them." Katherine noticed.
"They are probably the best spies I've ever seen in my life."
"Let's attack them now."
"No!" Aiden stopped her, "Let's milk it, we have to both guess that their waiting for somebody."
"This sounds like one of those ideas that will lead to bad shit happening."
"Don't worry about it."
Katherine sighed as she relaxed in their hiding spot.
"H2hydr0 is a good name right?"
"What's the point of it?"
"It's nice to say though 'H2hydr0' It's like you're saying H20 which means water."
"The other name was ReLode am I correct?"
"Yep! ReLode. Lode refere to a metal called a lodestone and Re refers to repulsion which is something magnets can do. Together they make ReLode which is already a word, but just spellee differently."
"I never expected you to be the smart type."
"Nobody does."
"Sorry..."
"So... I've always wondered... Do you know where you got your mutant powers?"
"My powers? Nah they aren't meta. Apparently according to all my sources and my main one which is my mother, I'm part alien of some sort."
"Oh- whoa..." Aiden didn't sound as shocked as he should be, "An alien? Like an actual alien?"
"Yep. I don't know what alien exactly, but maybe I wish I did, so I could've a better handle and then maybe understanding of my power. Something like you."
"Me? I'm flattered, but yeesh I'm in the same boat as you, I myself don't understand my powers. I mean it's pretty basic at first glance, but in reality there's a whole complicated struggle going on."
"It's so weird to think that not so long ago, I was a normal highschool diva like girl who strived popularity, now I just strive to be useful."
"What do you mean?"
"I'm sure you've noticed. But basically most of my life, people have ranked me as a diva like those blonde popular girls in those highschool movies. Because of that nobody thought much of me, nobody really saw me as well you know smart and I hated that."
"Ah."
"I hated it so much that at times I would get overwhelmed and try to prove myself. There was this one time, during the road trip Cameron and I had, where I tried to solve a thousand year old puzzle because somebody thought I couldn't. I solved it by the way."
"Figured you'd say that. And the reason you're always rushing into these battles is because you're also trying to prove yourself right?"
"Guess I was right when I said you'd notice."
"We all have our issues with these powers. My issue was figuring out if I was a freak or a person..."
"And your resolve was?"
Aiden looked down.
"Dude you're not-"
"-I am... What I've done... What I want to do is-"
"-Aiden you're being a bit insane-"
"-That's What I Am Katherine!" Aiden exclaimed, "I'm insane... I've done terrible stuff Katherine, I want to do terrible stuff, and it's all because of these powers... You have no idea how much I wish I didn't hurt the people-"
"-wait."
Katherine peaked from her hiding spot and noticed the two men were gone. She quickly ran out angrily.
"Fuck their gone!"
"DUCK!" A sound shouted.
Katherine ducked down allowing a knife to drive right pass her hair and into a tree. She turned behind her where a girl wearing a mask stood.
"Katherine Lenardo." The girl named, before smiling joyfully, "Do you know how long I've waited, to finally get the opportunity to meet you in person?!"
"Who are you?"
"OHMYGODYOUWANTTOKNOWWHOI AM!!! That's amazing beca-"
Katherine sprinted forward and threw her fist at the girl who swerved to the right and then tripped Katherine. The girl quickly grabbed Katherine by the shirt before she fell over.
"You don't know how badly I've been dreaming of youuu, this is SO exciting."
"You're crazy you know that right?."
Katherine swayed her arm back to hit the girl, but the girl caught it and threw her back. Katherine tumbled forward a bit.
"I'm loving this SO much-"
Katherine snapped her fingers, teleporting herself in front of the girl for a headbutt. The girl noticed the incoming attack and jumped back fast with no hesitation.
"Close call-"
Katherine snapped her fingers again and the mask the girl had on disappeared. The girl looked up at Katherine revealing her face which wasn't as bad she thought it would look.
"I guess Masky was right, you really don't have a handle on your powers."
"A handle doesn't really matter, because with a snap I could easily beat you."
"That's soooo funny." The girl pulled off a wide devilish smile, "Because with a snap I could outnumber you!" The girl snaps her fingers.
The two men that were talking to one another teleported besides her. Most of the people that were seen as normal civilians in the park turned to stare at Katherine. An alien girl appeared and walked up to Katherine and the other girl.
"You have the same power as me?"
"Nikki doesn't have your powers. We're just the cult." The alien girl revealed. "Everyone is in our control."
"Xena!" Nikki jumped in excitement.
Nikki is a whirlwind of chaos, an unpredictable and energetic 14-year-old girl who seems to leave a trail of carnage and fun in her wake. Nikki has naturally white hair with black highlights that falls around her face in wild, tousled waves. Her bright blue eyes gleam mischievously from beneath her messy hair.
"Well... Let's see about that."
Katherine was about to snap her fingers when someone moved her hand into a small glass sphere. The person quickly did the same with the other hand.
"What the-?" Katherine paused when she noticed who did it.
Aiden looked at her almost regretting what he did, but he shaked his head and made his way to Xena and Nikki.
"Did you guys see me?!" Nikki was jumping around psychotically. "I was so cool there!"
"Yeah, yeah. We went against orders, but at the end of the day we were able to complete the mission." Xena uttered.
"Some mission this was." Aiden spoke in a serious tone.
"Come on Aidey-wadey smile." Nikki said, holding a wide crazy smile on her face.
"Your organisation won't get away with this, you will not use me to get the omnitrix."
"What? Is that some-sort of candy bar you like?" Nikki raised a question.
"Whatever that is, you are more important to us than that thing will ever be." Xena said
"Trust me... You are..." Aiden noted.
"What am I?"
"You're something like me, but you're more human, while I'm kinda human... And your kinda alone and I'm more Alien... To give a quick summary you inherited your alien side, while your mother did not. I'm Xena by the way." Xena revealed.
Xena is part of the alien race known as Uxorite's. Basically Xylene from Ben 10
