Power up

Back to speed

                                     Present

Now that you're finally up to speed. (Hopefully I didn't take too long). We have today where I'm able to go back home. My powers are in full capacity and as long as I have my gloves on, I can't hurt anyone or steal anything from anyone.

When humans ask about my gloves, I tend to tell them that my hands were in a dangerous accident and I'm embarrassed on how they looked.

Majority of the time people leave the situation alone and I can live on rent free. It's also help me with getting a lot of attention especially from the ladies.

I was one of the more popular people in the human school. I had all the females attention and all the males wishing they had my charming good looks.

"Baby I don't want you to leave." Chelsea whined in my ear annoyingly.

"Hands off my best friend bitch." Natalie pushed Chelsea off of me and yanked me forward to gain some distance away from her.

"Out of all the girls you slept with, you could have avoided her." Natalie rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"If I knew she was a crazy and clingy then maybe I would have but too late for that and you know most girls are crazy addicted once they had a taste." I winked at her.

She scoffed and rolled her eyes, but I can see her blush from a mile away. She's definitely someone I've been trying to date for a while now but she's not into guys sadly. Now she's my best friend who I love and value a lot.

"Make sure you call me as often as possible and visit me because if you ditch me with these low life's, then I'll come kill you my damn self." She pouted.

"I could never abandon you." I tell her while pulling her into a hug. She hugged back and we stayed like that for a while.

"Do you have to go?"

I pulled away to see her eyes were red and brimming with tears.

"Sadly yea, but I'll come back to see you graduate and I'll be here to send you off to whatever college you're going to. I'll even be at your wedding." I reassured her.

She smiled at me before hugging me one more time.

"I love you Emerson."

"I love you too Natalie."

After school, I ran home since I couldn't fly due to too many humans, while if I run no one can see a blur going by them.

My grandfather was finishing up packing everything into the suitcases.

"Why are we leaving with more than what we came with." He complained.

"Because I spent my whole teenage career here and needed a bunch of reminders." I countered back.

"The amount of condoms in your room, should be enough memories to last a decade."

"That sir, was a low blow to the ego." I laughed and finished helping my gramps get everything together for the travel home.

"At least this time I don't have to carry your fat ass like before." He huffed out.

"Woow body shaming 18 year olds, never thought I see the day."

That's the relationship me and my grandfather began to have. A friendly bickering for the soul. He became the father I always wanted and I became his second chance at proving grandma wrong.

"We leave at midnight as always, that gives you some free time to do whatever it is teenagers do. Just refrain from getting someone pregnant, that's not how I would like to greet your mother." My grandfather huffed and went to finish any lose ends we were leaving behind.
