The Freak and The Angel

Chapter 6: Pay Back, Bitches

The three of them stayed in Angel's room, coming up with a game plan. She doesn't want to make it obvious that she has these abilities, but she wants to use them against everyone who had been hurting her. She started to practice what she is going to do to her bullies.

"Okay, so, we sit in the back of class, so if I just -" She slicked a finger and sent some of her books flying across her bedroom. "No one would know I did that, right?"

"Nope." Eddie and Becky said in unison.

"And if I -" She flicked her finger again, sending her pillow flying. "Just pretend that was a stapler or something, okay?"

Becky laughs hysterically. "You're going to hurl a stapler at someone's head?" She asks, totally amused by the idea.

"Maybe." Angel says, flicking her finger at Becky. She falls over onto her side on the bed, still dying laughing. Angel didn't use much force, it was like a playful shove.

"Hey!" She said as she finally stops laughing and catches her breath. Becky throws another pillow at her, but Angel stops it in mid air, holding it for a moment before sending it back to where it belongs. "You could just do that." She flicked her fingers at Angel. "Slam then into stuff. Like they did to you but you don't even have to touch them."

"Oh I plan on it." Angel says with a devilish grin. "They won't know what hit them."

After a while, they all fall asleep. Becky still spent the night like she said she would, even though she really didn't have to anymore. Shes part of this now, and she loves it.

Morning came and they all woke up on this beautiful Saturday. The three of them made their way out to the living room and kitchen areas to male a breakfast. Angel is feeling better than great, and Eddie and Becky can't be any happier.

Wayne's sitting at the table with his usual cup of coffee, reading his paper like he does. "Morning kids." He said as he looks up from his mug in their direction. His gaze stopped on Angel and his eyes grew wider than she's ever seen. She just smiled happily at him. "You - Your face..." He said in shock.

"Yup." She grinned.

"You're, you're all better.... how?" He put his mug down and stood, waking his way over to her. He grabbed her face in his hands and looked her over.

"I told you, Uncle Wayne, she has superpowers." Eddie chimed in.

"You really do?" Wayne asked more than stated. He squeezed her face in his hands before he hugged her tight, kissing the top of her  head. He had been so worried. All of those battle wounds surely should have left scars. He couldn't believe his eyes.

"You really do, don't you!" This time, a statement. He let her go, and she smiled up at him. She saw a tear firm in his eye. She's never seen this man cry. He quickly wiped it away before it could really make itself known.

"Alright, kids -" he cleared his throat. "I took extra shifts, so I won't be home much this weekend. Be safe,  okay?" He went and chugged down the rest of his coffee before heading out.

Eddie and Becky were in the kitchen,  pouring themselves some coffee. Eddie came over with a mug for Angel.

"Just how you like it. Sorta sweet and a little dark."

"Just like you." She said as she took the mug from his hands and took a sip. "And damn hot." She grinned at him. He blushed.

They moved to the table and sat. Angel went into the kitchen and started cooking. Since it is the weekend, and they had nothing much planned, other than coming up with Angel's revenge, she decided to go all out and make a big breakfast of biscuits and sausage gravy.
