M: thanks

                   We walk over and see Shatter on the floor-

I: oh my goodness

M: shatter you okay?

                 Iris grabs a chair and i help Shatter onto it. She's not looking too good

                   but what if she runs out before that? i can't risk that she's my friend

                I get over to Gemma

G: what you havin?

M: maybe but that's not the point...*whispers* pause them damn it...all of them if you want..and if you don't want to then tell em wait damn it this is more important then a few more dollars

G: look whatever the hell it is max i AIN'T PAUSING EM...I took enough damn energy doing it before and getting shatter here-

                     I slam my fist on the bar counter. Gemma looks at me...this is fucking important doesn't she get that?

G: who the HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE-

M: NOW GEMMA!

G: WH-

M: NOW I FUCKING MEAN IT

            People scoot away from me...some drunk girls walk up next to me...ugh seriously

M: LOOK ladies love yall really but max has some shit to do

              They roll their eyes and walk away...i hate being fucking hot sometimes ANYWAYS WHERE WERE WE

M: GEMMA!

G: FINE DAMN IT

                 She snaps her fingers and everyone stops moving...the lights turn off. My guess is Shatter can't transfer energy when frozen

G: oh hell no

                  She snaps again and Harley runs back to work and the lights flicker back on

G: NOW WHAT'S SO DAMN IMPORTANT-

M: just fucking follow me would ya? i don't fucking know what's gotten into you but you're being a damn jerk

G: i get that a lot now tik tok would ya?

                   I run back to Shatter and Iris. I turn around and she gemma causally walking slow...God damn it. Shatter's having problems breathing

I: i was able to cut the strings and stuff but i can't seem to move these darn needles

G: ight what's the...problem?

S: g-gem?

                I back hand Gemma
