"Dustin!" came Lucas' voice from the radio, "Dustin, do you copy?"

"Yeah," Dustin yelled back, "Lucas, they're on us."

"Where are you?" Lucas yelled back as Alex turned to look at him.

"Cornwallis," Dustin yelled as Alex took a shuddering breath.

"Meet me at Elm and Cherry!" Lucas said over Dustin's headset.

"Copy," he said, "Elm and Cherry!" He yelled to Alex and Mike who nodded.

"Okay," they yelled back. As they cycled through a short cut and onto the main road, Alex heard the vans behind them. She turned around and saw at least four vans following them.

"Shit!" Dustin yelled.

"This way," Mike yelled, leading them through the park, "come on!" Alex sped up, leading the way and she rang her bike bell.

"Out of the way!" she yelled, cycling through two girls who jumped apart, "out of the way!" The three of them cycled past the girls playing and eventually met up with Lucas on Elm and Cherry.

"Lucas!" Mike yelled as Alex turned around and saw Lucas with his bike.

"Where are they?" Lucas asked.

"I don't know," Alex said, looking around.

"I think we lost them," Dustin said as Alex chuckled. They heard tires screeching and looked around to see the vans swinging around the corner.

"Go, go, go, go, go!" Mike yelled as the four of them began to cycle away from the vans. "Go, go, go, go, go! Faster, faster!"

"Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit!" Dustin screamed as they cycled as fast as they could.

"Shit!" Alex yelled, seeing a van turning the corner and driving straight towards them. Alex looked down at her hands then at the van. "Guys!" she yelled, "get out of the way!"

"Alex!" Mike yelled, watching the blonde balancing on her bike. "What are you doing?!"

"Trust me!" she yelled. Alex's eyes went red as she jumped off her bike, using the red energy to push her over the others before she slammed her feet onto the ground her eyes glowing red as she pulled her hands apart, allowing a two large red energy balls to appear in each hand. She held her arms out at the van, raising it in the air before turning around and throwing her arms behind her, yelling as she did before making the van go crashing into the other vans behind them.

"Get on!" Mike yelled, quickly stopping his bike to allow Alex to jump on and wrap his arms around his waist. Alex was breathing heavy as she turned around to see Dr. Brenner climbing out of the crushed van and staring at them as they cycled away to the scrapyard.

"Holy, holy shit!" Dustin said as they came to a stop, "did. . . . did you see what she did to that van?"

"No, Dustin," Mike said, getting of his bike and helping Alex get off, "we missed it." Alex chuckled as she sat on the floor, her head in her hands. Eleven walked over to Alex and held her hand, sitting next to her.

"I mean that was. . . ." Dustin began as Mike smiled at Alex.

". . . .awesome," Lucas finished making Alex looked up, "it was awesome." Lucas walked over to Alex and sat next to her.

"Everything I said about you," he looked at Eleven, "and you, being a traitor and stuff, I was wrong. I'm sorry. I know you would never do anything to sabotage us." Alex smiled as she leant over and hugged Lucas.
