We all watched in the background, as the older three recruits practiced. I stood a little further away, with Monty, while Andy and Lorna stood closer toward them.

Max held onto a statue, seeing it glow red, he backed away carefully. Heather teleported them out and Tico clapped his hands, making the statue explode wildly.

I was shocked, first, they could do chairs and miniature things, how they can explode massive objects — a personal bomb.

"That was insane," Andy smiles, completely amazed.

"Nice trick," complimented Lorna, who really didn't have a happy smile on.

I look to the window, seeing Jack look bothered. He stared at the statue, with the gears of his head-turning.

"Not gonna lie, they freak me out," The Pryde boy tells me.

"Me too," I admitted.

"So, we're blowing up statues now?" Lorna peers to Max.

I've noticed Lorna has become more involved with Max, I knew she wasn't friends with him. Every time she turned her back she held disgust or worry.

"We get this thing right, it'll be a lot bigger than statues," Max cocks, "Scale this thing up, can take a whole building down the same way."

My heart skipped a beat.
I didn't know if what Jack said made me paranoid about the trio, I couldn't even say why I am so freaked by them.

As I watch Max make his way back as his friends put up another statue, Lorna grunts in pain.

"A-Are you okay?" Monty asked, earning a stink eye from Andy.

"No, it's nothing. I just got sloppy." The Dane held onto the cut in her arm. "Hey, uh, I sprung a leak over here. Gonna go clean this up."

As one of the triplets nod, Lorna leaves. This left only me, Monty, and Andy.

The tension could be cut with a knife. I saw Andy's hand held a fist, as he was just jealous of Monty being near me. I look to Pryde and he held such a calm exterior, he didn't tense up, he didn't even give Andy the time of day.

Not wanting to be in the room, Andy walked out, bumping his shoulder to Monty before he left.

Monty just shook his head in disappointment and let it go.
