THE UNION novel Chapter 4

In a flashback to 2011, In Papa's house the whole gang gather together in the dining room discussing about ideas as they've all been getting closer. Richard already getting tired of staying at home all day brings up the idea that they can start helping people with their powers.

"I know it might sound crazy but this is just what we need to get back on our feets." Richard says, the team feels indifferent about the idea, Gboyega who is scared of using his powers responds.

"I hope you know I'm not good at all with my powers, one push of anger and I might blow a place up." Gboyega says, Richard pats Gboyega on the shoulder.

"My parents trained me in a very dangerous and strict way, I can teach you how to control your powers." Richard said, Ayo starts liking the idea and nods to the positive.

"You know there's nothing bad in trying this, I and Slip have always wanted to see what other things my powers can do.." Ayo said, Ngozi shocked that Ayo has never really used his powers responds.

"With all these special tech in you, you've not still started using your powers." Ngozi laughed mockingly,Ayo feeling left out, he quickly whistles and steps back a little bit.

"Just call me when you're all ready." Ayo says and leaves the dining room, Chong sits but doesn't contribute cause he knows his powers can't do anything to help. Chong powers weren't on the offensive level, it was meant for defence and protection.

"So what about me?" Chong voice was so low, Gboyega pushes Richard to talk to Chong, Richard doesn't feel comfortable but being the only bold person he is speaks out.

"Chong you know your powers are not really......." Chong quickly interrupts.

"I understand." Chong says, feeling left out and embarrassed, he runs out and goes to the sitting room, Gboyega moves to the kitchen. Ngozi questions Richard.

"You really seem hyped about this." She says and chuckles a bit, Richard smiles back at her.

Why wouldn't I? After growing up in a damaged home and I was busy ending people lives. I can make up for that." Says Richard, he grew up with a mafia family, his Parents were the top bosses around the place but Richard never wanted that type of life. He moved closer to Ngozi.

"You never told me how you got your amulet." Richard asked, Ngozi stares at his face for awhile, lost in his beauty. She stammers for some minutes then later speaks.

"I'm sorry." Ngozi says and runs off.

2months later, Gboyega goes to a forest wearing a overall cloth. He looks around and makes sure no one is following him or around him, Gboyega breathes out and streches both his hands. He inhales oxygen and calmly breathes out. Fire starts igniting out of his hand and he quickly starts chuckling in excitement, this was the first time he had control over his powers, a huge burden was coming out of him. Gboyega stops the fire from coming out, he quickly leaves the forest and walks down a ghetto, he sees a young lady getting robbed. Gaining some new kind confidence after using his powers, he stands firmly.

"Leave that young lady alone!" Gboyega shouts and moves closer to the man robbing the woman. He streches his hand and a huge wave of fire comes out of his hand, Gboyega already losing control of his powers quickly tries to stop it but can't, a wave of past memories start hitting him and fire starts covering up his body. Luckily the lady manages to drag the thief out of the fire and knocks him down. The lady moves to Gboyega who's bending his head, she pats him. Gboyega raises his head and see young lady wearing a weavon standing in front of him.

"Thanks for trying to help but I was already handling the issue." She talks in a very calm tone, Gboyega gets up and forces a smile out of his lip.

"I was just trying to help." Gboyega voice shakens, she holds his left hand.
