5 Chapter 04 - The Plan
I walked in the long boring hallway of this facility after taking a refreshing shower and began making my way to the attic of this building where the young mutants are currently gathering at and having their fun.

"I killed eighteen men. One by one" Illyana said as she sat with a smug smile on her face.
"You're lying" Dani said in disbelief.
"No, she.. is not" Sam said also stunned as he saw the readings in the polygraph.
"You don't believe me? I'm the most powerful mutant here!" Illyana said and stood up immediately as she glares at Dani, angered by the fact that the newbie doesn't believe her.
"Maybe, but we don't know that, we still don't even know what's the power of Andrew after all." Sam said denying the claim.
"It's Telekinesis."
The door opened as Andrew came in with a bored look on his face and answered their curiosity.
"Telekinesis? What does that do? Control telephones?" Roberto said while genuinely curious.
"Well I can do this." Andrew said and then telekinetically lifted all the seats that they are currently sitting on bringing sudden fright in them.
"Woah woah!" Roberto said in surprise and others also expressed their surprise as they are all lifted about five feet from the ground
Andrew then returned them slowly as he willed it to the ground easily without even spending a single sweat.
"That's a cool power dude, with that, you don't have to fight in close range since you can just throw things at them, damn! and then I got mine which is basically useless since I can't even control it." Sam said in amazement but then as he remembers his power, his mood then quickly go down the drain as he can't even control his own power and it even killed the ones he cherish.
"I'm sure you will definitely be able to control that sooner or later, don't worry." Andrew said with a smile as he willed one of the chair to go into his position as he sat on it comfortably.
"That still wouldn't be enough to defeat me..." Illyana wasn't the one to be defeated as she crossed her arms and spoke with confidence dripping from her voice.
"..."
The time quickly passed with them just talking and this brings them more close to each other as they talked about the recent nightmares, etc. And when the time was approaching midnight and they are all done and exhausted from talking, they made their way to their respective room to rest.
While Illyana was once again pulled to her nightmare about the men in a smiley masks and in the end, didn't manage to sleep that much.
The same was happening to the rest of the young mutants except Andrew as they began experiencing their worst nightmares that wouldn't let them sleep.

"Today. I want to talk about obedience. This one of the most important thing that you need if you want to get better and move to my superiors facility." Dr. Reyes said calmly as she looks at the young mutants gathered infront of her.
"What if we don't want to move to your boss's facility? What if, you know, we just wanna go home?" Sam said.
"Sam, you remember what happened. You think they stopped looking for you?You think they have stopped hunting you?" Dr. Reyes said as she continued, "If you weren't here right now, you would be in prison.. or even worse."
"That was... that was clearly an accident! I didn't mean for any of that to happen..." Sam said, explaining his side.
"Do you think that anyone outside this room would believe that?" Dr. Reyes replied rather calmly.
"I would. Sam is a good guy.." Dani said as she joins the argument.
"Even if I'm not.. What?.. Do i.. do I really have to spend my whole life in here for one mistake?" Sam said getting agitated as he felt that the doctor wasn't even helping him at all.
"Once you're better." Dr. Reyes replied
"When am I gonna get better!?" Sam said as his voice raised.
"What's gotten into you Sam?" Dr. Reyes said with curiousity since Sam have never acted this way before.
"Look. Something's not right here, I'm seeing things. Terrible nightmare." Sam said explaining his side while remembering his nightmare last hight and continues with "When will i gonna get better?."
"You're better when i say so." Dr. Reyes said rather dumbly, clearly not good at this things.
"You know what. Forget it, this is bullshit. You're not even listening to what I'm saying." Sam said as he finally gives up trying to explain himself and walks out of the room quickly and made his way outside to take a fresh air.
Dr. Reyes looks at Sam walking out and looks at the rest of the new mutants, she stands up as she also gets out of the room.
Illyana hugs her knees on her seat with her head lowered as she also remembers seeing nightmares. While the others was also the same except for our mc who was at the same time also thinking what's for their lunch.

I just kept quiet and observed them as i now knows that things are about to get messy from here on. I don't intend to mess with the direction that the future is going since i want all of them to learn the lesson that they very much need to learn from here onwards, the reason why i want to? Nothing.
But of course, this doesn't mean that i will be their babysitter and do things for them. No shit. Why would i even do that. I just wants to see if things will really go into their original path because you know, I'm fucking here, and because of all those butterfly effect and shit, things are definitely bound to be different.
But the main reason why i will actually go through all that and not just crush that doctor and leave was because i am Andrew freaking Detmer—who have wreaked havoc and killed numerous people in Seattle—I am pretty much sure that most, if not all, of the different kind of organizations and government are now looking for me for what i did.
While I am not afraid of them, my current strength still doesn't give me the capability to be arrogant so I'll bide my time here—planning my future and mastering my ability—while waiting for the inevitable outcome that i will leave this place—maybe the X-Men will take us after we're free from here—that's a plus.
While waiting here i have actually devised a little plan regarding my new life right now and what i want to and need to do in order to live life to the fullest while surviving and that are:
First? Master my power. This the most important thing i need to do, because only with enough power can i truly be free from all the bullshit things that this universe have.
Next is be the strongest? I'm not really sure about this but oh well, since I'm already here and I've got one of the most limitless ability i can get, why don't i see if i can stand at the top of this crazy universe or not?.
And finally. Live the best! I will definitely do this since in my past life and as Andrew, my life is too pathetic. So gotta do something about that.
That's basically all of it. All I want to do is to survive to see all the things this universe have, because as dangerous as it is, it also holds many things, from powerful artifacts that can literally let you erase half the universe to beautiful wome-- *cough* i mean places that will let you realize the true meaning of life and achieve inner piece. Amitaba/Amen/ʾĀmīn, what ever you want.

After that intense argument of Sam and Dr. Reyes, I got back on my room and spends the whole day in my room trying to improve my control over my abilities. Oh and of course i did my practice carefully to and avoided the security camera. I still have no hopes of improvement regarding the prized molecular to atomic control over my telekinesis that will let me harness some of the true potential of it.
But I'm not worried since from what I know, it's only 2011 right now, which is different from the original timeline of the movie Chronicle. I still have time to be stronger before things go to shit starting with the Battle of New York.
- - -
Night quickly came as i got out of my room and began making my way towards the canteen to fill my stomach since i got a bit tired from all the practice I did.
In the canteen, I saw the new mutants gathering and eating in one table while talking with low voice.
Approaching carefully from behind them stealthily after getting my food myself...
"Boo!" I shouted.
- - -
"Ahhh! Who the fu–, oh it's you Andrew, come on man, don't scare me like that, i thought I was about to blast straight through the ceiling." Sam who was greatly startled said as he pushed Andrew's shoulder jokingly, his previous anger from the argument earlier clearly gone.
"What are y'all talking about." Andrew said as he sat beside Roberto as he took a bite of his dinner.
"Well, Illyana here found a sleeping powder in the attic last night and she intends to put it on Dr. Reyes' tea later after dinner, so that we can finally have time for ourselves that is free from her eyes even if its just one night." Dani leaned near Andrew as she explains the reason in low voice.
"Well. Do you want me to do it?" Andrew said as he took a bite off his food.
"Can you do it?" Illyana said not believing in his capabilities.
"Oh come on, you know that I can move things with my mind right? That'll be a piece of cake for me." Andrew said as he levitates the spoon he was holding while smirking.
The new mutants realized that fact as they immediately agreed to this and then continued eating till they finished it and waited for Roberto the Rich Dishwasher wash the plates.
