The Deletion- 16th Hour

We were thrown out from the hole.

I took a few minutes to catch my breath.

'Instantaneous Transportation and Untraceable' Sarah said, helping me get up to my feet.

'Where are we?', I motioned, unable to speak

Sarah smiled.

'You're lucky that you didn't die in there'

I looked at her.

'Don't look so shocked. Travelling through black holes take time, even though it seems instantaneous to us. I guess around 3 minutes are lost'

'3 minutes?' I guestured.

'Yes. Not a lot of time, but enough to knock out a person'

'You guys really need to carry around oxygen cylinders', I said, finally regaining my breath.

'We already do.', she said, taking out a small bubble of clear liquid.

'We use these in cases of emergencies only. And we always have one around. Just in case.'

'What is it?'

'It's a sort of liquid. Not sure about the exact specifications. We have to put it in a special device in front of our nose and breath normally. Lasts for hours.'

'Well that sure is convenient.'

'It also gives you terrible headaches. So, not a perfect science.'

'Oh. That's sad.'

'Well, now to the important part. Why were you chosen?'

'I have my doubts.'

'Okay...'

'I think this is revenge to the man who killed his brother.'

'But why you?'

'What if I am related to the man?'

'But Michaels brother was killed so long ago!'

'Yes, but what if I am the last living descendant or something like that?'

'Makes sense.'

'I think we should meet the chief.'

'That too, makes sense. I'll call it in.'

She took out a device and spoke something into it.

'We can leave in five minutes'

Suddenly, a portal opened up in front of us.

Michael walked out of it.

Sarah took a gun she had and shot it at Michael.

He fell down, paralyzed.

I looked at her.

'You had this the whole time?'

'Only usable for Emergencies. Team Rule.'

We saw as another portal opened a bit farther away.

'Run, Kid. Run!' Sarah screamed, as another foot stepped out of the portal.

It was Guy.

'Come with me!' I screamed

'Run!', she screamed, firing a shot at Guy.

He seemed to not mind it, walking forward.

As I ran towards the new portal, I felt a wave of air breezing against me.

I saw a black hole open up and Sarah pushing guy into it.

'Bye Kid! Be safe!'she said, as she pushed Michael into the hole and jumped into it.

I ran into the portal, walking out at the other end. The tears flew freely, falling into the portal.

I slumped onto the floor, as I felt someone catch me.

'There, there', a strong male voice said.

'You're safe now', a reassuring female voice said

'Where's Sarah?' a third voice asked, worry tinging their voice.

I sat on the ground, the floor taking my tears.
