"Umm Kate" Said Tony as he waved his hands in my face. I was thinking about how he even treats a girl... Particularly a girl like me. Then again no girl is alike no matter if they're "special" or not.

I faked a smile to hide what I was thinking.
"Yea. Sorry I was thinking..."

"About" he said holding out his whole word. Ugh I don't understand boys sometimes. They do the dumbest things that impress girls. I don't imagine how, but whatever

"If you've eaten anything at all. Look at you, you're scrawny. No offense." What I wasn't gonna lie to the boy he looked like he hasn't eaten for five months or more.

"None taken. But honestly no I haven't eaten in a while. How bout we talk about this over some lunch sound good?" He said gesturing towards our whole group. They nodded in approval.

•••

We made pizza and had some soda. Honestly I don't like soda but when everyone else is drinking it, what the heck I'll go for it. So he went into this really sad story of how it was when he was at the facility.

A normal person would break into tears hearing this story and telling it as well. But since we've all lived just about the same life we sat their nodding our heads. He got to one part about when they took away his dad.

He said that him and his mom were forced to be put together in that horrid place. Then he talked about how they took his mother raped her and killed her one night in spring. They day right before Summer was to begin.

Violet and I cried on the couch listening to Tony explain every word. It was sad, depressing and cruel to hear but he only showed a little part of him that was sad. Duke, Charlie and Jake just had their heads down not daring to look at Tony's face. I guess they were afraid they might cry to looking at his eyes.

Then he got to this one part where he talked about him escaping with his brother. I don't know why he didn't mention his brothers name age or even before in his stories. Whatever I'll let him slide this one time.

After he finished talking about how he escaped with his brother he got up to stretch. Then he talked about him living with his brother and how he got here. I still found it strange that not once did he mention his brother's name.

"Wait. Lemme get something straight. You can create anything with a simple thought?" asked Charlie.

"Precisely."

"Show us." He responded again.

Tony got up from his chair that was placed in front of the couch and moved it to the other end of the room. He walked back over to us facing the couch. He jumped up and a dark green rectangular shape popped up underneath him catching him.

"Coo-" Duke said being cut off.

"I'm not done yet." Tony said smirking.

He closed his eyes slowly. And closed his fists. The green shape expanded and spread around his body. It formed some type of body armor equipped with a sub-machine gun on the left arm and a jetpack. Everyone applauded. Everyone except for me. It was impressive but not appealing to me.

"Oh my gosh Kate that was really cool. Why are you so boring." exclaimed Duke.

"I'm sorry I just didn't like it that much." I said with all honesty.

Then they all looked back at him because he dropped out of his armor that went away. He then started walking towards me. Everyone including me watching his every move. He stopped in front of the couch.

"It's cool. I figured as much. Which is why I decided on this for you." he said reaching past my head brushing my hair out of the way and retracted it. As his hand came back into view he held a bouquet of orange roses. How in the hell did he know my favorite color. I began to blush. Wait does he know my fake brother could snap him in half.

"Smooth Tony." said Jake smirking at me. So much for that. Thanks Jakey.

"Uh... I... Ummm....-" I stuttered. Now I was blushing harder

"Shh it's okay. You don't need to say a word. Just take them they're amazing. Just like you." He said holding them out yo me. I took them and hid behind them. Ooo's filled the room. I felt eyes stare at me.

"I have to use the bathroom." I said getting up making my way out of the room with the flowers still covering my face. I lied them down as I dissapeared behind the doorway and went into the bathroom. Whew! We did talk for a couple hours anyway. I mean like we just already had lunch.

That was embarrassing for me. Why did he do that? It was kinda cute but everyone was watching. I splashed water on my face then I heard muffled sounds. They're talking. Why can't I hear them. Oh nothing a little shapeshift won't fix.

I shifted into a bat. I heard they have really good hearing. I started to listen to them and heard them clearly.

"So was that an act to get Kate to like you or..." said Jake.

"Well actually yea. She's nice and plenty more but I'm just gonna keep the rest of that to myself." said Tony.

"We won't tell her if you don't want us to" said Charlie.

"Please don't. I think I could do this." said Tony.

He's got to be joking. Does he really like me? How could he like me? It's impossible... Right? I shifted back and turn on the water all the way to make it seem like I was washing my hands.

I open the door and instantly get on the wall. I climb up to the ceiling. I walk in the next room still on the ceiling. I didn't really feel comfortable on the floor at the moment. I crouched up? I mean I am on the ceiling everything is backwards when you're upside down right? They looked up at me.

"What?" I said.

"Why are you up there when you could be down here sitting next to me." Tony said as he patted the spot next to him. The cat instinct in me made me walk over above where he patted and I let my feet release. I shifted into a cat and flipped my body making sure I landed. Everyone looked surprised at me. I shifted back after I was sitting down.

"What! Haven't you ever seen a cat instantly go and sit down when someone pats their hand next to themselves... Damn my instincts." I said frustrated. They started to laugh. Tony just smiled.

"Well I have to say that was really cool how you did that. I'm amazed" said Tony.

"Thanks." I said trying to hide a smile. Why is he doing this to me?
