Black Lightning ~ A New Decade

Chapter 20: Chip Overload

"I was thinking some Spades", Anissa replies grabbing the deck of cards and going to the kitchen table.

A few hours pass by and they are finishing up their 20th game.

"One more round?", Jeff says.

"Aren't y'all tired of spades", Jenn asks.

"Nah it's 10 for 10, next winner wins it all", Anissa replies.

Just then all of their watches start beeping.

"Its a mission alert from Gambi, we got to go", Jeff says standing up.

They walk towards the door, about to leave out when Lynn comes walking down the stairs.

"I'm coming", Lynn says.

"No your not, you need your rest", Jeff replies.

"I need to get to the sanctum I have a vaccine there that can speed up the recovery process", Lynn says.

"Is it Greenlight?", Jeff asks.

"Jeff I'm not gonna lie to you but I'm also not gonna stay here, if y'all walk out without me I'm gonna walk to the sanctum by myself", Lynn replies.

Jeff hesitates for a moment then gives in.

"Okay let's go", Jeff says throwing a blanket over Lynn and leading her out the door.

When they arrive at the Sanctum only half the team is there. Gambi and TC are looking at a facility on the monitor.

"Gambi where's the rest of the team", Jeff asks.

"They're on their way but Lynn you should be at home resting", Gambi replies.

"That's what I told her", Jeff states.

"I'm fine, I have a vaccine that will speed up the recovery process", Lynn starts.

"Well your lab door is open", Gambi replies pointing to Lynn's Lab.

Lynn walks over to her lab. Just then Khalil, Dionte, Grace, Erica, and Brandon walk down.

"What's the urgent mission?", Dionte asks.

"Ok now that everyone is here, TC found a facility where they have a weapon strong enough to penetrate Gravediggers skin, it's a cloaked facility which is why we couldn't find this sooner", Gambi replies.

"Well how did he find it this time", Jeff asks.

"He asked around the database and they told him what he needed to know", Gambi replies.

"Well okay then let's go retrieve the weapon", Anissa says.

"The only problem is the building is so cloaked that we can't pin point the location for a long time so TC would have to lead you guys there", Gambi replies.

"So TC's going to become a field agent", Jenn replies.

"Just for today", TC states.

"Well let's get going", Grace replies.

Everyone starts to move out the door following TC.

When they get to the building there's bars on the front door. Anissa walks up and rips them off.

"Jeff, Jenn, & Dionte give me some light", TC says.

They hold out their hands making Lightning and Fire Balls. As they move down the dark tunnel, it just gets darker and darker.

"Uh TC you're sure we're going the right way", Brandon asks.

"Yeah it's right through this door right here, but it has an invisible firewall and if my chip goes through it, it could kill me, you guys are gonna have to go in without me", TC replies.

The team goes through the door and begin looking around for the weapon when they realize it's not in there.

"TC I think they got the weapon locked up somewhere else because it isn't in here", Jeff states.

"Nah, you guys are the ones that locked up", TC replies.

"Wait What are you talking about", Jeff asks.

"Well this was never a facility that had a weapon to penetrate Gravediggers body, It was a facility which I led you guys too to eliminate you all, remember Gravedigger and his missions, well this is mine", TC replies shutting the door to the room

Anissa tries to break through the door.

"Don't bother this room has a non use of powers cloak", TC says, "In a minute this room will start feeling up with water and you guys will die a slow and painful death, now as for Lynn and Gambi they shouldn't be to hard to eliminate".

"TC you don't have to do this, fight the mind control", Erica replies.

"Oh but I do", TC says walking out of the building.

Just then the entire room starts feeling up with water. The team exchanges worried looks.

Back at the facility, Gambi is pointing his gun at the door and waiting for TC to come in. TC bursts through the door.

"TC please don't make me do this", Gambi says.

From a distance, TC squints his eyes and the gun goes flying ones way and Gambi goes flying the other way. Gambi hits the wall and begins coughing. He begins standing up.

"How did you do that?", Gambi asks finally standing up.

"See there's a lot you don't know about me, y'all think I can just control computers but when I try hard enough I can control any and everything, and a little birdie named Gravedigger finally brought that out of me", TC says.

"Gravedigger didn't bring it out of you he out if inside of you", Gambi replies.

"Who cares I was just sent to eliminate you all, so this is gonna be one hell of a exciting night, are you as excited as I am", TC asks.

"Ecstatic!", Gambi says squaring up.
