Weathers aiting for Brent the nexttowards school and another day of failing algebra When Brent first saw the FBI , but Weathers just followed after him

"Leave me alone," Brent said He kneouldn&039;t work, but what else was he going to do? Hit the guy?

It was te today," Weathers told hi me?"

Weathers chuckled "No That was just part of my job It&039;s also part of my job to provide you with information you ain? You wantrun over by a tank?"

Weathers grabbed his shoulder Brent spun around, as angry as he&039;d ever been in his life The fingers of his right hand curled into a fist Both of theed to relax his hand, to let it fall loose at his side

Weathers see he hadn&039;t seen it That he had no idea what Brent had been thinking "Yesterday wasn&039;t a coather a lot of useful data"

"What? You were - huh?"

"I wanted to knoerful the two of you were, so I had so up soot excellent footage of the two of you fighting andover it"

"So now you are watching us, just like Maggie said"

Weathers shrugged "Studying you, you could say As long as your sister is at largeI can about her Especially about her limitations and weaknesses It turns out the two of you have similar, but not identical powers She&039;s about ten per cent stronger than you are - but you&039;re faster, by the saot different powers? Why?"

"Who knows? I still don&039;t have a good answer as to why teenagers can survive the green fire in the alien spaceship but adults are killed instantly Maybe it&039;s because you two have slightly different DNA, or maybe it was because she&039;s a little bit older than you Honestly, I have no clue My analysts were very surprised by the results They assumed that it would be the other way round Norer muscles while women beat us at endurance and quickness But your sister is the tough one in the fa you should know, Brent, for next tiain - "

"When you do," Weathers told hiave it their best effort but she got away froht her - if you weren&039;t distracted You&039;re the only real threat to her right now Whichto want to neutralize you"

"And if I refuse to fight her?" Brent asked, fus to do"

"Like what?"

Brent looked up the street Matt Perkins should be co any second now "There&039;s a bully, who picks on the little kids at school I watch hi to hurt anybody Maybe that won&039;t save the world But it makes life easier for somebody It makes life better for somebody"

"Matthew Perkins was expelled from school yesterday afternoon," Weathers told Brent "After the local police had a chat with your principal Bullying is a crireed to ree for a written proes would be filed"

Brent stopped breathing for a second "You did that?" he asked

"Like I said, it was the local police Who perhaps were acting on information I provided the information"

Brent shook his head "But that&039;s a terrible idea Matt&039;s life will be ruined And anyway, he was only a bully because his father abused hiot home," Weathers went on, "they found a case worker fro for them Most likely Mattheill be reo live with a foster family"

Brent rubbed at his face in frustration "Oh my God You broke up an entire family - "

"A dysfunctional family You really think Mattheas better off under his father&039;s care? You really think that was a good outcoe people"
