Five

Waking up in the morning around nine, the friends had breakfast, and Misha returned to his home. Having found Peskarev’s address and found this house on the map, he decided to wait until nightfall and then kill the enemy. During the day, Mikhail tested all his abilities, and making sure that they were all normal, he relaxed. It was not difficult for Alexey Osipov to fly to the mansion. He already knew the city like the back of his hand, and he had already flown past this house a couple of times. It was a huge tall skyscraper. Convenient, I guess. Woke up, took the elevator down, and went to work. OK. We need to find a bedroom. Mikhail started from the lower floors. There was a hall, a dining room, a gym, a meeting room, and offices. In general, nothing interesting. But on the twentieth floor, the man was lucky. Although the windows were curtained, Misha could see a large bed through the gap. Here it is. Without hesitation, Osipov broke the window and flew inside. Peskarev, lying on the bed, immediately woke up. The alarm went off. But Misha wasn’t worried about that now. - You killed my friend. I have come to take revenge. - What? Who you are? - It does not matter. You are going to die now. Mikhail extended his hand to strangle the enemy, when he suddenly felt incredible weakness. My head began to spin, spots swam before my eyes, my body did not obey. - What’s happening?.. - Oh, are you interested? I also have strength. But you couldn’t even imagine? But if you and your “friend” directed it to help people, then I decided to create a future for myself. I don’t care about others. My strength is restraining other people’s abilities and suppressing personality. The first, of course, only worked on some people, but the second… I managed by force. People in military uniforms ran into the room. - And now… Goodbye. Most likely, we will never see each other again. People approached Misha and put all the handcuffs on his hands. He couldn’t do anything about it. The man was taken out of the building and placed in a police car. What awaited him now, Mikhail could only guess… *** — The protocol will be written later. We accuse you of attempting to kill an inviolable person. You will receive a life sentence and will be kept in a maximum security cell. Osipov was again put in a car, but this time it was armored and had bars on the windows. The trip lasted six hours. It was already dawn when Misha was taken out of the van and led into a gloomy building surrounded by a secure fence. Entering it, Osipov saw a long dark corridor and realized that this was its end. They walked along the corridor for a long time. Misha tried not to look around, but out of the corner of his eye he saw the terrible cells and the crazy eyes of the prisoners. Even though the man was a brave man, he was very scared. The corridor has come to an end. The police stopped at an empty cell, opened it, pushed Misha in and slammed the door. *** Mikhail was in despair. It’s no joke to sit in such a cell for at least several years. And Misha was given a life sentence. He was also afraid for Milena. Peskarev saw his face and recognized Misha. And yesterday he himself spoke about his relationship with the girl. Now she was probably in danger of something. And it is unlikely that she could remain innocent. Although… She’s a lawyer. Maybe she will be able to justify herself. But I was caught. There is no turning back for me. The rest of the day passed in thought. Three times they brought food to Mikhail. Modest, of course, but you can eat it. At ten all the prisoners went to bed. Osipov could not fall asleep. He was very worried about tomorrow. What will happen to him? When the tired man was ready to close his eyes and fall into the kingdom of Morpheus, he was awakened by some rustling. He sat down. Opposite him stood a girl of about sixteen. - How did you end up here? Who are you? - Dasha. I also have a gift, I came to save you. - What is your ability? — Traveling in space and time. - This is great! Will you take me somewhere? - Certainly. Take my hand. Misha obeyed. His head began to spin, and a second later he opened his eyes in a house. - Where are we? - This is a different world. I created it for myself. I love coming here when I want to be alone. - Interesting place. What is there? - Actually, just the house. But if I want to go outside, I create a park for myself. Basically, I copy objects from my thoughts into reality. - Cool. - Your name is Misha, isn’t it? - Yes. What about Milena? - Your friend? Somehow I didn’t think about her. Now I will move it here. A minute later, two girls appeared in the house. Milena looked scared, but when she noticed Misha, she calmed down. *** — Dash, are there many people with gifts? - Five people are born every century. They appear in one country. There are you, me, Roma, Alexey and Katya. She has the gift of creating things, and everything that goes with it. She knows how to change her appearance, for example. - Cool ability. And we can kill Peskarev. - Of course, I understand your anger. But there must be a force in the world opposing us. - But he’s a villain! He can defeat us all! - OK. Let’s do it this way. At the right moment, I move you behind Alexei, you kill him, and we disappear. Is it coming? - Fine. I agree. *** Everything happened quickly. Misha took the pistol created by Dasha, teleported, fired and returned to the house. - Ready. - Great. - Can we return Roma? - Roma? Well, in theory yes, but I wouldn’t recommend interfering with the timing. The consequences may be irreparable. - But I have to return it! He is my best friend! - Fine. But I am not responsible for the consequences. What do you offer? - You can catch Peskarev red-handed when he killed Roma. - Mich, have you forgotten? The police obey Alexey! - What do you suggest then, Mylene? - We can take him here before the meeting. - Oh, well, yes. Will he want to come with us? - If we explain everything to him, he will go. Well, if it doesn’t work, we’ll take it ourselves. - Fine. I’ll reschedule us half an hour before the meeting. *** Friends appeared in Roma’s apartment, in the living room. - Misha, what was he doing at that time? — When I left him, he was sleeping. - Then let’s go to the bedroom. Entering the room, they saw Roma calmly sleeping. - Maybe we shouldn’t wake him up? - How will he feel if he wakes up not at home? - I can calm him down. Mikhail went to the bed and lifted his friend into his arms. Quite light. Nothing, it will recover. *** The girls sat in the dining room and chatted, and Misha sat in Roma’s room. He hasn’t woken up yet. Half an hour later he opened his eyes. Misha had already dozed off and didn’t notice it. Roma, realizing that he was in an unfamiliar room, jumped up, but when he saw Misha he calmed down. - Mish? - A? What? Oh, Rom! Awoke? - What’s happened? - Long story. - Explain. - Well, I seem to be from a different time. That evening you were supposed to be killed, then Milena and I, like brother and sister, went to a banquet with Peskarev, then I tried to kill him, I was sent to prison, and then I ended up here. The expression on Roma’s face made Misha laugh. The girls came running laughing. - Milena? - Roma! They hugged. - And who are you? - Dasha. I travel in time and teleport. - Cool! And if I am here, who is at home? - No one… Unfortunately, we changed the course of events, and now the future will not turn out the way it should have. - In terms of? Why did you do this? - Rom, I couldn’t come to terms with the loss, I wanted you back. - It’s clear. What happened in the future?
