Chapter 108 - [62]

After helping the Ghost Rider, Max went up to his last drone to manually operate it. Looking at the video feed he found Emma, she was taken away by another teleporter.

'How many teleporters are there?' Max grumbled to himself. He needed to find her. Luckily her location was caught by a security camera of New York, she was easily recognizable due to her shining diamond form. She wasn't far.

Spreading his wings, he flew through air to find his target. He had to finish her off this time, but the problem was… Could he do that if she was in her diamond form? He didn't know that. He would have to find her first.

In a few minutes he was at his destination. It was a boarding school. Max didn't know why Emma would hide in here. But he had to be careful, what if Emma took the school hostage. That wouldn't end well.

Turning invisible, he made his way into the school. The boarding school was a small one. Maybe a few hundred students could study here. Slipping inside the school he checked everything. The different floors, rooms, corridors everything. But nobody was there.

The school was closed, which was odd, this was a Monday. Finding nothing, he got out of the building. Where could the diamond head run to?

His answer soon came when he heard a scream, it was coming out from the hostels, which wasn't far off from the schools. Following the voice, he ran inside. It was coming from the ground floor. Max could here weeping and sobbing voices from the medical ward. Thinking the worst he rushed in, there he saw, his target Emma.

She was in her human form, bleeding constantly from her amputated arm. She was trying to concentrate by holding a boy's head. A few people gathered around her, forty or so. Judging by their age, they were students of this school. But most of them looked different, some had different skin, made out of rocks or thrones, while some had extra limbs or eyes. One could guess that, they were all mutants.

They were all crying, blood was pouring out of the amputated arm. A girl was trying hard to stop Emma's bleeding hand by pressing a cloth to it. While Emma was giving it her all trying not to lose consciousness and to concentrate on the boy in front. She was breathing heavily, almost out of blood she looked pale.

But it didn't matter if she was going to lose her life, so be it. She would help the boy if that was the last thing she did.

"Big sister no, stop it." A girl said, not older than ten, she had pink rosy skin like Emma with white shiny hair. She was trying to stop Emma from doing what she was doing. While the others didn't voice their opinion, they stopped the girl from advancing. But all of them had a mournful look.

The little girl couldn't watch anymore, she rushed out of the room. Max, who was still invisible from jerked up, when the girl looked at him. She could see him, of course she could. It must have been her mutant ability.

"You are the doctor right." The girl said, wiping a tear off of her face. "Please, help big sister." She said between the sobs, as she grabbed his hand. Her eyes were oddly white, with no pupil.

Hearing the girl's plea, some of the students looked at Max. Or at least looked at his direction, as he was invisible, only the girl could see him. But Max wasn't paying attention to it.

Crouching down, Max looked at the girl. Wiping off her tears as gently as possible. As he patted the girl, he pseudo-bonded with her calming her down, all the while checking her memories. Max wanted to know who the girl was, and why she was crying for Emma.

The girl's name was Caitrin. She didn't have any last name. She was an orphaned, who had lived a miserable life. No one cared for her that much, and the orphan lady in charge there wasn't the kindest woman ever.

She was almost sold to a group of drunkards at the age of six, but at that fateful day she awakened her powers. Her pure black eyes and hair had turned white, at that the men became disgusted finding out she was a mutant. And tried to kill her, only because of Emma was she saved.

And she had been living with Emma for the last four years now, she never had any parents or siblings. But staying with Emma, she never needed anyone else, she was her everything. So when she saw Emma in that state, missing an arm, bleeding helping one of her big brothers. She couldn't just stand by, she prayed, she hoped—that help would arrive and take care of her big sister.

"Cat move away from there!" Blink called out. She didn't know that the assassin was here. She wouldn't be able to notice if not another student pointed out there was an unfamiliar person in that room.

Max canceled his invisibility, he didn't need it anymore. Seeing him almost all of the people in the room looked at him, some reading to fight if necessary. Emma had just finished with the boy, but after seeing Max close to one of her students she felt a frightful pang in her heart.

Caitrin looked back, sobbing, she didn't know why everyone was fearful of the man. She looked back at the man yet again who had a gentle smile plastered on his face.

"You are the doctor right?" she asked, looking innocent. Max oddly wanted to pat the girl.

"Well, of course I am." Max said smiling. "Isn't that right Emma." He looked at Emma, who had a horrified expression on her face. He was enjoying this.

"Than… Then can you help her?"

"Well, of course. Now let the doctor do his job. Would you hold my hand, little Caitrin? It's your name isn't it." The girl nodded. "A beautiful name for the beautiful snow princess." Max looked at the rest of the group. "Emma, would you tell your students to move out of the room. We don't want any accidents now do we…"

Soon the room cleared leaving behind only Emma and Blink, Max still had Caitrin, she was holding her hand.

"Hmm, so you want to stay. Fine by me." Max said, roiling his shoulders and walked forward.
