~~The Unknown Index~~
The Master gazed and Lisa. "You honestly think he can survive this? Ha!"
Lisa said nothing. She looked at the building again which was now completely in flames.
Michael, please don't give up. Please get of there. Lisa begged.
Michael's eyes began to close. As the flames began to close in on him, he realized that his powers could probably save him. He opened his eyes again and slowly sat up. He looked up at the doorknob and concentrated. He felt that tingling in the back of his eyes. He heard the lock click open.
"What the hell?" the Master said.
"What is it?" Lisa asked.
"The signal is interfering with mine," he began to get angry and slammed his fist on the steering wheel.
"That motha fucker does have powers! That's why when I try to kill him, it never works!" The Master froze. "Wait a minute. He's not supposed to have powers! He's a worthless little human being! Arrgg!!"
He pound the dashboard with his fist in frustration and his eyes turned red. Lisa began to get scared. When the Master was angry, he could kill anything in his path. He started the engine. At full speed he drove the car around to the back door. The back door was open and Michael was laying unconscious right outside the building. Looking inside the door, Lisa could see how big the fire was. The smoke was spilling out of the house.
The Master quickly jumped out of the car. Lisa opened the car door on her side, but didn't get out. She just watched. The Master circled Michael as if he was thinking of what to do.
"I should leave you to die in there!" he screamed. "You and your damn powers! How the hell did you get them?!"
He gazed back at the car and saw Lisa was watching. He smiled. "Aaahhh I see."
Lisa shook her head nervously. "What are you talking about?"
He continued to smile. "You'll see."
The Master picked up Michael's body and put him in the back seat of the car. When The Master sat back in the driver's seat, Lisa became tense. He started the car.
"Okay, spill it girl. How did Michael get the powers?"
Lisa swallowed hard. "I don't know."
The Master laughed. "You think I'm stupid, don't you?"
"No, master." Lisa said.
"Then how the fuck� did he get the powers?!"
"Sir, honestly, I--" An agonizing pain suddenly went through Lisa's head. All she could see was bright white light. It was as if her skull was ripping in half right inside her skin. She screamed in pain.
"Tell me!!!" The Master demanded.
"Sharon!" Lisa cried. Tears came to her eyes. "Sharon gave him the powers without him knowing!!!!"
The light faded away and the pain began to settle. Lisa wiped the tears from her eyes.
"Hmm. I see." The Master said.
"Either that or Michael was one of our kind all along." Lisa added softly.
The Master was silent. Michael awoke and start coughing in the backseat.
"Welcome back, Michael." The Master said, looking through the rear view mirror. "You're gonna wish you hadn't awaken when I get through with you."
