Harry P.O.V

As easy as they say it is,I have no truck in' idea on how to shield someone else just by using my mind. Like,seriously? I haven't fully mastered this whole powers thing,and I assume all the other lads can agree with me.

Though the fact that they've gotten the hang of using theirs. To be honest I feel pretty useless. Sure,I have shielding and healing abilities,but how exactly will I be able to fight? All I'll ever be doing is to shield the others and heal them if they get injured, not much action will be done by me.

I don't know why the stone made me have these nonviolent powers,is it because I'm too weak? That I can't handle the intensity of a fight? Cause if that's the reason then what good can I be to the group?

"Harry,come on now,its not that hard." A voice said,which belonged to Zenaira,tried to lift my confidence in hopes that I'll be able to do what they want me to do. Tough luck,cause I don't think its necessary.

"Zenaira,I've been trying to do so for the past few hours we've been training! Maybe I'm not cut out for this." I admitted,my voice sounding like I've given up.

"Don't say that,I know you can,it takes time,practice and determination for you to accomplish something things like this. And what are you talking about? Its only been half an hour since we've started to train." She let out a little laugh. Wait,is she serious?

I took out my phone and see that it was in fact have been half an hour. I guess my mind is too messed up that time didn't pass by as fast as I suspected it to be.

"Don't pressure yourself too much,Harry. Things will go your way soon,trust yourself in doing so." She encouraged,which made me feel a tad better.

"Now,if you'll excuse me,I'm going to help Javed find Zayn. Who knows where that dude went when all we wanted for him to do is disappear for as how long as he can,and now it seems like he's taking it too far." I chuckled a bit with Zenaira,then she started to walk away.

Maybe she's right. I should really stop thinking about the negative stuff I think about myself and focus on the positive sides. Like,if Louis ever gets attacked without him knowing,I'll be the one to protect him. I'll always be there for him.

"Neil! Lewis! Leeyum!" A familiar voice shouts. And by familiar I mean Zayn's voice.

"It's Niall!/Louis!/Liam!" The three of them shout back to where the voice came from. Well,now we know Zayn isn't gone.

"Zayn,you can stop now! We now know you can be invisible for as long as you can." Javed says.

I walked over to them but felt myself bump into someone-or no one-to be exact.

"Hazza,watch where you're going." Oh,its Zayn.

"No,watch where YOU'RE standing or in other words, trying to hide from us,we can't see you,you know." The lads and I laughed,and so did Zayn who turned visible again.

Zenaira and Javed then came to us, grimacing nervously,making me and the boys give then confused looks.

"What are you guys so nervous about?" Questioned Liam. It took them about 5 seconds to gain the courage to finally tell us.

"Paul,your bodyguard, is looking for you guys. We recently bumped into him when we were securing your flat,like when we said we could have permission from you all, so Johnson couldn't find a trace of you guys. Then Paul pulled up from the parking lot and saw us,he questioned where you all are and we said that you five went out.

It was obvious in his face that he didn't believe us so he wants us to bring you all back to your flat. The bad thing about that is he doesn't know about your powers,he might not take it too well and probably get involved in this situation we are in." That's gonna be a big problem.

We don't want anyone else get involved in this since its too dangerous already,taking risks is gonna be harder.

"We better go then,he might get worried and start to tell our parents or worse,management. He might lose his job. And its better that we should keep this to ourselves for the sake of the lives of our loved ones." Proclaimed Liam,being the responsible one in the group,earning the title Daddy Direction.

We nodded to our agreement. We'll tell Paul about this,we know he'll understand and can handle himself. We just hope his reaction won't be too freaked out.

Liam P.O.V

The walk back to the flat was quiet and very nerve wracking,I mean,who wouldn't be nervous to tell their manager/bodyguard/babysitter that they unexpectedly have super powers and are in danger?

As we arrived,we entered to see the same old flat we live in. Still had the misty aqua colored walls,pictures of us and family framed on them,the white staircase leading to the second floor where our bedrooms are, and other things you find in a cozy home.

We took a turn which lead to the living room,to find Paul sitting on one of the sofas. His gaze catches us and immediately fills with relief.

"There you are! I was worried sick about you lads!" Paul exclaimed,his smile faded and turned into a look of concern.

"Where were you boys? I've been calling to check on you guys but non of you answered your phones,especially you Liam,your the responsible one and I expected that you'd update me about things going on." I gulped. I wasn't sure what to answer, we weren't picking up his calls so he won't suspect,but now its hard to tell him.

He looked at Harry,Louis,Niall,Zayn and me,hoping for an answer from anyone of us,but no one dared to speak since we were scared of what might be the outcome if we did.

"Boys,please. Answer the question." He let out a sigh, I knew he was tired of worrying,so I opened my mouth to speak,but a voice cut me off.

"WeAreSoSoSorryPaulWeDidn'tMeanToIgnoreYouButItWasForAGoodReasonCauseForThePastWeekYouv'eBeenGoneWeKindaStumbledUponTheseRocksFromAnotherPartOfTheUniverseAndNowWeSortaPossesThemAndHaveTheseCoolPowersButNowWe'reBeingHuntedDownByAMadScientistThatWantsToRuleTheWorldAndNowWeAreAllInDangerAndAlsoI'mHungry!!!" Blurted out Niall,we all looked at him with raised eyebrows. We didn't understand a word he just said.

"Did I hear Niall correctly? That you all have powers,are being hunted down by a mad scientist and are in danger? And Niall, there's food in your fridge you know." How'd he understand?

"Now,I know your going to ask why I understood Niall, well believe when I say that when fans are too crazy and literally scream things too fast in your faces,I have to understand them so I can tell you all what they said." Our mouths formed an 'o' shape as we nodded.

We explained everything to Paul as he listened intently,not seeming even a bit freaked out about all the superpowers thing and stuff.

"So uh,are you not. Mad?" Harry asked shakily,Paul just chuckled and shook his head as a no.

"Of course not,sure its a hard thing to handle now that you all are in danger,but I know I can trust you boys,this will all be kept secret from everyone,including management." We smiled at him.

I'm glad he's okay with this,but also worried that we'd get hurt or he might get fired. We don't wanna lose him,he's part of the Direction family. A family that we made and share with thousands or even millions of fans around the world that look up to us and got us to where we are now. Not in this situation, I mean how we got this far from not winning the X-Factor but are known for being the biggest boy band in the planet.

It's all thanks to them and their determination that we can get to travel the whole world,do concerts for them because they deserve it for being very dedicated fans. In short,we might as well have the biggest family in the world. Who love and care for one another even if we all haven't met in person,it is still considered as family because we all know we go in only One Direction.

"Why don't we all head to the park? to get our minds cleared from all these issues." I hadn't realized that Javed and Zenaira came along with us,maybe cause we were too nervous to even see them trailing behind.

"Sure,that sounds nice." Louis happily agrees,so we all left the flat,got in our van that we use for traveling to long distant places,then Paul started to drive to the park. It was high past noon and not many people went there, being too busy and all.

When we arrived,only a few people were there. Kids played in the swings at the nearby playground,couples had small picnics in the grass which was very sweet,and some girls noticing us. Oh no...

Three girls came up to us giggling,trying to not faint or scream probably.

"Hi boys! Its nice to finally see you while on your break." The brunette chirps cheerily.

"Can we have a picture with you?" Without any hesitation,me and the lads came together and took pictures with the girls. They did notice Harry and Louis always close together and that made them squeal in delight. After a few sighing their shirts and stuff they bid goodbye to us and left.

"There goes another pair of Larry Shippers. I am very proud of them." Niall says,with pride in his voice, Making me chuckle. Typical Nialler.

Zayn P.O.V

"Rock,paper,scissors!"

"Hah!"

"Uh,2 out of 3!"

"Fine."

I hear Louis and Harry still playing rock,paper,scissors just to see who gets the last ice cream cone that we recently bought from an ice cream shop.

"Yes!/No!" Harry cheered while Louis grumbled. As soon as I turned around both of them suddenly shouted.

"Who ate the last ice cream cone?!" I face palmed,knowing who it would be. And like on cue,Niall burped loudly and I can see his mouth covered in chocolate.

"Awe!/Niall!" Haz and Lou crossed their arms while pouting, These two are just the cutest couple you can ever imagine.

They do nearly everything together,heck! Even just trying to separate them is impossible! We couldn't blame them though,its their love,we can't stop that.

Then-out of nowhere-police sirens were heard, getting the attention of many people including us. In the streets, three or four police cars were chasing after four people wearing masks and wore leather,riding their motorcycles.

A crime must've been committed. What surprised me was I witnessed one of the criminal's take out a gun,and I'm afraid it was loaded. The chase stopped and the criminals all ran away from the cops who were following them...and into the park!

Many people screamed and panicked as they ran out of the park, afraid of getting shot. The lads were right next to me,along with Paul and the two professors.

"Come on! We have to get you five away from here!" Informed Paul. We ran,following him to the exit,when we unexpectedly come across four figures that had guns in hand. This is not happening...is it?!

"Are you One Direction?" one of them asks,having a really low and hoarse voice. Paul went up in front of us protectively,making us stare in shock. He might get shot!

"So what if they are?" He says while glaring.

"Give them to us." I bet they have to do something with Johnson.

"Like I'd do that." Paul snarled at them. In a split second,Paul caught them off guard and kicked the guns out of their hands. Then ran off with Javed and Zenaira. But the boys and I stayed.

We knew Paul would get mad at us for doing this,being stubborn is one of the things we're good at. We just need to get some answers.

"Why do you need us? Does it have something to do with working with the Armageddon Institute?" I asked one of them,glaring.

They didn't answer,but charged at us. I saw Louis' hands begin to heat up,and I knew he was gonna use his powers,but not here!

"Lou! Don't do it!" Harry warned. Struggling on one of the criminal's grip.

"Boys! What are you doing?!" Paul screamed angrily from a distance where police won't allow anyone to pass and go here.

Ignoring him,we battled them in hand to hand combat, a little bit of kicking and tripping too. Its weird how they get to dodge our punches very swiftly.

One was about to grab a gun,but luckily Niall kicked it away. I grabbed the mask of the criminal that was tackling me,and pulled it off to see something I didn't expect.

"You're a...girl?" I questioned,but their voices were very manly? What?

"Obviously." She replied,rolling her eyes at me before taking her mask and putting it back on.

"Girls,let's move out! We'll deal with this another time." She screamed. Running with the other three to their vehicles. Leaving me and the boys confused.

"Those were ladies...I could've hit a girl!" Liam screamed. He was always the one who stuck to the rule 'boys can't punch girls' thing.

"Who cares,I wanted to smack them anyway! Who the hell do they think they are? Trying to mess with the sass masta of Doncasta." Louis says,with his voice filled with sass in his tone.

This is not the time for us to blabber about what could have happened,cause if anyone did know,we'd be dead by Management. I hope no one had a video of that or even saw what just occurred. Its not everyday you see your favorite boy band get tackled by unknown criminal-like girls.

"We're so screwed." Harry spoke up.

We sure will be.
