Ashlyn's POV

To say my morning was weird would be an understatement. When I woke up, there was this weird silver energy surrounding me. For a second, I thought that EJ was playing with me, but his powers are pink.

When I get out of bed, I see the same silver energy forming in my hand. Do I have...there's no way. It can't be...at least, maybe I should try. I point my arm to my bed and suddenly...I BLAST MY BED!!

I HAVE POWERS!

I should at least try more. Oh, a few days ago, I think I was able to turn that pencil into a rose. I should at least again. I pick up one of my red hair extensions. I close my eyes, concentrating real hard on the color, silver. When I open my eyes, my extension was silver!!

I really do have powers! Maybe I was affected by the explosion as well. As awesome as this is, I'm gonna keep this to myself, just until I can figure out just how many powers I have, or at least what my main power is, like the others.

Is keeping this a secret bad? Maybe, but this is for my own good. I'll get it under control, snd then I'll tell EJ about it. It's all good.

"Ash!"

EJ walks into my room. I quickly hide my hair extension behind my back. "Oh, will you look at that, I'm ready before you are. Where are all you ranting now?"

"Whatever, EJ, what's up?"

"Just wanna let you know Uncle Dennis is taking Asher to school, and we have to pick up Ricky again."

"Doesn't he skate to school?"

"Just get dressed before I leave you," he says before walking out of my room. I look back down at my now silver hair extension. I have powers, but I'm the girl behind the desk, I've never been on the field fighting crime.

What do I do?

Walker's POV

I wake up to the sound of a taxi cab horn, blowing through my ear drums. I quickly sit up, panting in sweat. everything feels so loud, like everything was ringing. I hold my head in pain and groan out of frustration.

"Hey, little man, you okay?" Shawnie asks, he and dad walk into my room. "Do you not hear that horn? My head hurts."

Dad walks closer to me and presses his hand against my sweating head. "Oh, Walker, you're sweating like crazy, are you okay?"

"Yeah, just...my head hurts."

"Maybe you shouldn't head to school today."

"No, it's my first day back, I gotta go," I say, wiping the sweat off my forehead. "Walke-"

"Come on, Dad, please?"

"Okay, but if you still feel any sicker, your brother will come to pick you up, okay?" My dad asks. I nod my head and he gives me a kiss on the forehead before walking off. "I'm a call away, little man," Shawn says before walking off.

Of course, after mom left, all it takes is one sneeze for everyone to worry about me. Doesn't matter, Jack is picking me up so I should get ready. I get up to do my morning routine. or tried to at least.

I was breaking everything.

"Aw, what's going on...?" I mutter to myself. I try to reach the doorknob, but instead, I rip it off of the bathroom door. "Oh, no," I whisper, my breathing picking up. I grab my faucet, but accidentally break it, desperately trying to fix it.

"Oh, what's wrong with me?" I groan, breaking the towel rod. My breath begins to pick up as I quickly throw everything in the sink and sit on my bed. I start to get sweaty as I gasp for air. Everything was so loud and it was like I can feel every little minuscule thing.

"Why am I sweating, so much?" I ask myself. My body starts to freeze so I wrap a blanket around myself. "Oh god, but I'm so cold..i..i.."

"Walker! Come on, kid, you're gonna be late on your first day back!" I hear my brother yell.

"One minute!" I shout back, but Shawn stills walk into my room. "Whoa, you good?" He asks, checking my forehead, but I try my best to force a smile. "Just...tired. Anyway, gotta go. Jack is waiting for me."

"Grab something to eat!"

"Will do!"

I make my way to my treehouse waiting for Jack. I was feeling a bit better and more energized the more I moved. I don't know what's wrong with me. I haven't felt this messed up since my mom left.

I look to my side and see the box. Maybe I'll open it today, that could make me feel better, or make me more of a wreck than I already am. I move one hand slowly to the box, a war going on in my mind if I should or not.

"Hey, Jack!"

I jump when I hear a voice. I turn around and see Jack hanging at the door. "Oh, hey!" I shake it off, grabbing my bag. "You okay?" He asks me.

"Yeah, I'm okay, just...can't wait to start school!" I lie with a wide smile. "Come on" I rush out of the treehouse. I don't know what's wrong with me but it seemed to be going away. I just don't want...I don't need any more problems.

Ricky's POV

"Okay, it's not that I hate the baby, it's the people who made the baby I hate. I'm afraid when I look at her, I'll see...them. The baby does deserve a better life, but who knows. Maybe she won't even be good. She comes from 2 evil parents, what's stopping her from being evil? But then again, people can change. I don't know what to do, what do you think?"

Is it weird that I'm talking to my stuffed bear about my problems while using my telekinesis to make him float instead of talking to a real person who can talk back? Maybe, but I don't wanna talk to my dad, EJ and Nini aren't here right now, and Franklin's been with me since day 1, he's one of the few things that have been able to keep me stable.

"Maybe" I shrug. Yes, I know the bear can't talk, I'm not delusional, but I need someone to talk to. "But what if she doesn't like me. Some siblings grow up hating each other. Wish someone could give me some actual advice."

"Ricky!" As EJ and Ashlyn walk into the room, I panic and make Franklin fly across the room. They both look at me confused. "Were you talking to your bear?" Ashlyn asks.

"No!"

"Ricky, you lived with us for months, we've seen you talk to Franklin" EJ chuckles.

"I wasn't talking to him, okay?"

"Okay, Ash, can I have a minute with Rick?" EJ asks. Ashlyn walks out of the room and EJ takes a seat next to me while moving all the boxes. "Still thinking about the baby?"

"It's all I can think about? What if she hates me? Or what if she tries to kill me? Maybe she'll find out about his parents then-"

"Bubba! I never thought in a million years but you're thinking too much. Maybe she'll be okay. I think I can speak for everyone when I say that being the son of 2 super-powered people isn't so bad."

"But the difference is your parents were heroes."

"Tell you what: We go to school, have fun on the first day back, then we can think about the uncertain future later, okay?"

"Okay. I do miss falling asleep in class" I chuckle. EJ laughs and wraps his arm around my shoulder as we walk out. Maybe this will be okay. But maybe I could have a little sister, maybe, no, I don't know.











SURPRISE! ASHLYN AND WALKER HAVE POWERS!! Who was your guess on who was having powers? The first choice was definitely gonna be Ashlyn, thank you hsmtmtslover5. And Walker, that was really just to build up Wicky so they have something in common. I wanted Wicky and Jini to be different, so I thought Wicky could be superpowered and Jini could be like a Peter Parker/MJ situation. Just curious, how do you guys think Ricky's baby sister will come into the story? I just really like to hear all of your theories about my stories, I feel like an actual director lol. So please, share all of your theories, I'd love to hear them. Stay safe and have a great day or night, wherever you are.
