Chapter 5:Teenagers Vs The Apocalypse
Natalie thought that this would be the end of Kabletech. The kidnapping of nearly 600 people (by Carl’s calculations) would be exposed, the media would have a field day, and the corporation who had, among other things, kidnapped her future girlfriend and turned her grandfather into a cyborg would be brought to justice. Instead, nothing happened.

Kable had pulled strings in G.U.N and the major media outlets to cover up the kidnapping of Power Gene carriers for experimentation and the 600 people who were freed were branded as 600 conspiracy theorists.

“It’s not your fault, Natalie,” Angel said as they walked towards the Crater, a modernised area of Westopolis where the Black Comet had been, and the regular meeting point of the Powers Club. “You couldn’t have done anything to stop Kable manipulating everyone.”

“Maybe if we had some kind of physical evidence,” Natalie said “Maybe if we could prove something…”

“It wouldn’t make any difference. Kable would pass it off as false.”

“Maybe we could...verify it somehow. Maybe if-”

“Natalie, stop. You saved those people and that’s good enough. Heck, you saved me. Most people cannot say their girlfriend saved them from an evil businessman.”

“Kable will just kidnap them again. And maybe kidnap some more people as well. And maybe even kidnap us.”

“He won’t. People will start to get suspicious after the second time.”

They walked on in silence for a few moments.

“How’s your anxiety?” Natalie asked. Angel suffered from anxiety attacks and, after their escape from Kabletech, they were starting to becoming more frequent. Natalie had been determined to help Angel get over it. After all, if you want to solve a mental illness, who better than a psychic, and one who was head over heels in love with you to boot?

“Fine,” Angel said hurriedly “It’s fine.”

“Angel, even before we started going out, you couldn’t lie to me.”

“I...don’t want to talk about it right now.”

“That’s ok. I’m not going to force my way into your head or anything. But I’m here for you, and so are the others. Remember that.”

Natalie put her arm over Angel’s shoulder and kissed her on the cheek as they reached the Crater. They walked into the youth centre, but went straight on instead of going to the right like they had before Wraith the Cyberhog had attacked them. John had changed the room they met in seeing the side room they had used before hadn’t been completely fixed yet, with the walls still bearing scorch marks from both Wraith’s lasers and Rugal’s fists. The other people in the youth centre still ignored them, though. It’s not like they knew what had happened.
