Running From Myself [BBS]

New School, Same Trust Issues - Seannaners

A/N: Ok, so I was originally going to do Nogla and then Adam later, but I was thinking of so many ideas for Nanners and the words weren't coming out right for Nogla so just a little change. I'm not going to do him for quite some time since, as I mentioned in Moo's chapter, in this universe he's in Ireland.

Side question: Should I wait to do Brian or should I do him next? I have the idea planned and a little hint of what conflict might happen in Moo's chapter again, but I don't know. Let me know what you guys think.

Adam was used to running while gravity was fluctuating. It's what Nick specializes in, just like Brennon can bend the metal of the lockers in any way he pleases and Marc can stretch his limbs out like silly putty. Those were their powers, the things that everyone showed off at age 6 so by age 16 they felt like masters.

Adam's power wasn't something he couldn't readily show off like many others could. His power was one that was mental rather than physical. It was persuasion. And he was very good at using his power. He was able to talk himself out of most situations. Unfortunately, his mouth was what got him into those situations in the first place.

Which is where we are now.

Adam running down the abandon school corridor. Diction changing the gravity from high to low, left to right, up to down. Goldy bending the locker doors trying to trip Adam up when Nick moved the gravity from the left to the right. Juicetra trying to keep up, throwing his arms on occasion to try and either catch or scare him.

"Adam!" Brennon screamed again as he readjusted a locker he bent when he passed.

"What? What did I do?!" Adam yelled back, as per usual.

"You know what you did!" Nick contradicted, slamming the gravity back toward the left. Adam shrugged as he landed, before sprinting toward the intersection up ahead. Marc threw another arm at him, which he narrowly avoided along with the spike that came out of the locker he slammed into. But Adam just kept his feet moving, like always. He headed toward the intersection, hitting the center just as Nick switched the gravity to the ground.

Now this is were things get complicated. We take to two points of view: Brennon's and Marc's.

According to Goldy, Adam turned and taunted them before turning left and sprinting off again. Marc dropped off to catch his breath while Nick and Brennon followed suit until they too got tired. Adam kept running after they stopped, and they just were never able to keep up the chase.

According to Juicetra, the Marc running was just an illusion. He was really off to the right with Shawn and Scott. When Nanners hit the middle of the intersection, Hutch slowed down time just enough so that they could still function while Nick and Brennon didn't notice. Sark would then make a copy of Adam to replace the one that Marc pulled into the hallway.

That's exactly what happened. It was like a well oiled machine at this point since it happened so often.

"I'm going to miss this." Adam stated, looking as his friends as he tried to catch his breath. "Did I tell Marc?"

"Tell me what?" He asked.

"That I'm moving."

"Oh yeah, you told me. Although I don't think Diction or Goldy know."

"Let them figure out on Monday." Sark offered. "Your mouth hasn't exactly gotten them on their good side."

"How exactly are you going to survive without us?" Hutch wondered aloud.
