After a couple of minutes, Verena had fell into sleep, she had turned her super hearing off, as she didn't like to hear so many things at once while she sleep. "You like her, don't you?" Kory smirked at Gar; who stopped staring at Verena, and only looked down. "What? No." Gar quickly dismissed her, and Kory could only chuckle. "Both you and her have something in common." Gar raised his eyebrows.
"You're both learning how to control your abilities. You guys have a very ... special connection." Gar could only shake his head , "You wanna make out with her, don't you?" That had made Gar choke on air at the sudden question. He felt his face heating up, nervous smile took over his features, "No! No." Nervously chuckled at her, and she could look between him.
"It's perfectly natural, kissing."
"I'm not comfortable talking about this." Gar shuts her down, irritated look on his face. Kory laughs. As much as denied it, Gar did feel the special connection between him and Verena. He did want to kiss her, probably not make out, but probably on the cheek. "You're getting agitated?" Kory could read his feature like a magazine, Gar still denied it, getting a little hot at the fact. "Yeah, you think?" He rolled his eyes, glancing at the shot. "Can I have that?" He asked Kory and she nodded.
He swiftly took the tiny glass, "Apparently, it helps." He had gulped it down, his face had twisted into a more disgusted one, the burning alcohol down his throat. "Or not." He gags at the nasty taste. Kory had glanced at something, "Stay here." She had told Gar and got up and walked away. Gar had sat back in his seat and looked at Verena. She started to yawn, fluttering her eyes open as Gar looked away quickly.
She stretched, looking around and couldn't find Kory. "Where's Kory?" She asked Gar, who sighed at her. "Right here." Gar answered and Kory sat down, looking a bit irritated, but Verena decided to brush it off. "Oh." It was silent after that. Kory and Gar shared glances like they knew something that Verena didn't. "Did I miss something?" She looks at both of them, "No." Kory answered.
"Am I supposed to feel numb?" Gar looked at his hands weirdly, Verena could smell the alcohol from his breath, but she didn't know how many that he took. "How many have you had?" Kory smiles at him, "Just one." He mumbled and Verena and Kory laughs. "I'm pretty sure drinking one won't cause that." The younger girl tugged a grin at her best friend. The lights over head started to flicker a little but, making the group look in confusion as the P.A system had came on.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have an obstruction on the track about a mile ahead. Once we get that cleared we'll be back on our way. Sorry about the inconvenience."
Verena could only roll her eyes, they've been on this stupid train for at least two hours. Kory looked around the small train, catching the attention of the two teens. "What's wrong?" Gar asked her, she shook it off. Not wanting the teens to worry. "Probably just being paranoid." She guessed and sat back in her seat. Verena shrugged, going back to playing a game on her phone.
《✩》
"Oh! That's bullshit." Verena scoffed as she lost to Gar, once again in uno. "Language." Kory asserted, "Sorry." She quickly apologized to her and Gar only laughed. "I'm not playing anymore." She pushed the cards away. The train had fully stoped for at least an hour. "We have to find Angela and Rachel. Come on!" Kory had suddenly told them, making the two teens jump at her tone.
Scrambling to get their bags, they followed Kory through the train as they went to search for Rachel and Angela. "What's going on?" Verena whispered to Kory, who was walking quickly like someone was after her. "Just keep moving." Is all she told her before they had found Angela, but no Rachel. "Where's Rachel?". "She went to the bathroom." Her mother answered for her.
Kory sighed and looked back at Rena and Gar. "I need you two find Rachel and get them out of the train." Kory whispered to them, Angela had concern written all over her face. Kory had walked away, "Uhm, okay." Gar had grabbed Rachel stuff and they went to search for Rachel as her mother was hot on their trails. Verena had sensed where her heartbeat was. "She's right here." Rachel had came out the bathroom, looking at her mom and friends confused.
"What's going on?" She asked as Verena just took her hand, "No time to explain." The group had quickly fled off the train, seeing as there was cops outside, the wind hit her cheeks as they saw their ride. A man standing there and Gar quickly transformed into his tiger form, essentially scaring the man off, Verena was pretty sure he pissed his pants. "Let's go." Angela had gotten in the front seat and Gar, Rachel and Verena had gotten in the back, now driving to find Kory.
《✩》
The next day, they were going to Angela's house that has been discarded over the years she's been at the asylum. The truck pulled up to the old house, they all stepped out, seeing some the withered bushes and flowers. Angela walked up first, Gar looking from the windows as Verena just stood there awkwardly with Rachel.
Angela unlocks the front door, Verena and Gar stepped inside seeing the rustic aesthetic of her home. She kinda loved it. "This is nice." Verena whispered as she touched the old surfaces, Kory and Rachel had came in, them going to the living room immediately. "What's going on?" Verena asked them, "I'm going to try to bring Kory's memories back." They say across from each other, Kory unsure.
"Do you have any idea what you're doing?" Kory asks her, Rachel just shook her head, "None." That had made Kory chuckle at her. Verena watched them closely with Gar by her side. "And if anything starts to hurt, let me know." Rachel tells her, placing her hands on Kory's cheeks. Verena always wondered what Rachel's powers were. They were both fascinating and terrifying. "Do you feel anything?" Rachel asks the woman, "No." she whispered back to her softly.
"Maybe a little tingling, but..." Rachel had now focused, making Kory feel uneasy. "Rachel, i don't think this is—" She got cut off when her head tilted back slightly, "Kory?" Gar had asked, seeing as now Rachel opened her eyes and Kory looked at Rachel with empty eyes. "Kory..." Verena had slowly sat up straight when Kory's eyes turned a fiery green and hands wrapped around Rachel's neck, choking her. Rachel screamed bloody hell as if Kory was burning her.
Verena went wide eyed at the sight, it was like a switch had been pulled on Kory. "Kory!" Verena had exclaimed, practically screaming as Kory's skin started to have fire particles on them, her powers burning Rachel as Verena and Gar had ran up to Kory, her swiftly catching both of them by the neck, dropping Rachel. It was like she was a completely different person. Verena started to gasp as the house started to shake a little but from loosing air. "It's us. Rena and Gar." Gar had mumbled to her.
Kory had only glared them down, as Dick had busted into the home. "Kory, what are you?" Dick had yelled at her when she threw the two teens at him, making them all fall on top of each other, breaking a few things in the process. Verena gasps for air as a another woman had came in, with a glowing rope, she had grappled Kory by the neck, swinging the rope across her leg before she had threw Kory, her landing on the now broken floorboards.
