Lucas, Dustin, Mike
"Dude there is no raccoon going through your trash." Lucas says to Mike. "There is! I swear!" Mike says. Dustin just sit there trying not to laugh.
"Well I'm sure if there was-" Crash.
"What was that?" Dustin asks. "The damn raccoon." Mike says, jumping off of the couch.
The boys run upstairs and burst out the front door.
It's not a raccoon.
It's a boy, with two girls. Not what I was expecting. They look scared. "What the hell?!" Lucas shouts. They flinch at that.
They look at each other, and start to back away. "Wait! Who are you guys? Are you okay?" Mike asks.
They don't answer, and Mike and his friends are extremely confused.The boy stumbles a bit, and looks panicked.
The grass under him starts to slowly smolder.
"Okay now what the actual fuck-" Dustin says. "Look, we're not going to hurt you." Mike says trying to sound comforting. As he steps forward, they step back."Do you want to come inside? It's about to rain." Mike asks them. Lucas looks at him like he just let a dog with rabies into his house.
One of the girls steps forward while the others look at him with pleading but scared eyes.
Mike lets them inside his house and leads them to the basement. They set down their bags and sit down on the couch. "So like, are you guys..mute?" Lucas asks. "No. We're not mute." One girl says with a scoff. The other girl quietly giggles.
The boy though. He's pretty. Really pretty. Mike figured out he was gay a while ago.
And damn, he can't take his eyes off of this boy, who he just met.
"What are your names?" Mike asks. "I'm Malia." She says. "And I'm Jane," She says, feeling a bit more comfortable, but obviously still on edge. Everyone's eyes shift to the boy. Mike is dying to know his name. Malia nudges him as if to say 'its okay' "I'm- I'm Will." He says.
Will.
Will. Mike now loved that name.
"Where did you guys come from?" Dustin asks. "Sorry, but we're not exactly ready to tell our whole life story to you people after we met you 2 seconds ago." Malia says, being sarcastic.
"Malia, chill. It's just if we tell you, it's gonna take a while. And we don't know if we're comfortable yet or if you guys are safe." Jane explains.
Will gives them a look and a hand signal, that neither of the other boys know. Malia and Jane give him an encouraging look, then Will pulls up his sleeve to reveal a number tattooed on his wrist. Malia and Jane do the same. Will's is 012, Jane's is 011, and Malia's is 010.
"There's a part of it. No context." Will says.
"Woah, is that real?" Mike asks. Will nods.
"So what? You guys we're lab experiments or something?" Lucas asks. They give him a look. "Oh." Lucas says, shocked. Mike and Dustin are shocked as well.
"Do you have super powers?!" Dustin asks with excitement. "Something like that." Jane says. "Let's show them." Malia gets up and grabs a random board game from a bookshelf.
She places it on the floor and levitates it effortlessly.
Mike, Dustin, and Lucas are shocked. Malia tosses it to Jane and now she's levitating it, then she passed it to Will. They're like playing catch but without touching it.
"Also," Malia says then suddenly, a small dragon from DND pops up in the middle of the room. Lucas and Dustin and Mike back away, startled. "Don't worry, it's not real." Jane giggles to Will, and he does as well.
Dustin reaches forward to try and touch it, but his hand goes through it like it's a ghost. After about 20 more seconds, the dragon fades away.
"How did you do that?!" Dustin asks, amazed. "I can create illusions." She takes a small bow. Will laughs behind her.
"So you can move things with you mind, telekinesis, and you can create illusions?" Dustin asks. Malia nods. "What about you two?" Lucas asks Will and Jane.
"I can go into this thing called a dream circle, or void, whatever. And it's basically like remote viewing. I can see someone even if they're like in California. It's a mind thing." She explains.
"This is awesome!" Dustin says. "What about you Will?" Mike asks. "I can.. control and create fire. It's called pyrokinesis." He says shyly. "What?!" Dustin shouts. "Are you kidding me? That's awesome!" Mike says.
"How do we know your telling the truth?" Lucas asks. "Bring me a candle. Not a lighted one." Will says.
Lucas grabs a candle and brings it to him. He puts it in his hand, concentrates, and boom! The candle ignites with a small flame in 2 seconds. The boys are flabbergasted.
They all get to know each other, and Jane ends up telling them almost every single detail about the lab and torture, and Lonnie and his abuse, physical and sexual. Will and Malia would pitch in to tell them about some of their experiences too.
Lucas, Dustin, and Mike were astonished. They have been through so much. Mike feels really bad. "Wow. I'm so sorry." He tells them.
"It's fine," Will says. "We're just glad to be away from 'Papa'" She motions her hands in quotation marks. "And that bitch Lonnie. If I could kill him, I would." Malia says. "Me too." Will agrees.
Eventually, Lucas and Dustin have to leave. They say their goodbyes and Mike sets up where his new friends are going to sleep. "I'll be up in my room, you can go upstairs to get stuff to eat or drink, my parents won't be home for a couple days." Mike tells them. Jane and Malia nod. "Thanks you." Jane smiles. Mike smiles back. "Good night Mike." Will says, admiring him. "Good night Will." Mike smiles warmly at him, staring at him for a few more moments before going upstairs to his room.
"Looks like someone has a crush.." Malia teases while Jane laughs. Will's face goes red, "What? No- I just...okay, maybe." They all laugh and talk before they fall asleep.
