WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T KNOW ? ❞

" WELL YOU KNOW, DUE TO MY LIMITED TIME OF RUNNING HERE ALL THE WAY FROM THE SUBWAY STATION CASSANDRA, I'D SAY NO, I DIDN'T REALLY HAVE TIME TO EXPLORE THIS WHOLE THING." Billy spat with a sarcastic tone.

"Well can you at least fly ?" Freddy asked as the three looked at one another.

"Ok let's do this," Billy begun as he stood onto of a parked car in the alley of the park nearby. "How do I do this ?"

"Um well maybe just- Freddy help me out here" Cassie turned to her twin.

"Um you know, just, like Superman it." Freddy suggested with a sound effect of a takeoff, which Cassie copied and repeated. When Billy mimicked the two with a weak imitation, the twins turned to each other.

"Oh my god, obviously you have to jump !"

"How is any of this obvious !" Billy groaned in frustration.

"Okay, well try to believe . . ?" Cassie offered up as her twin ultimately agreed.

"Yeah, Cass is right. I read this deep dive into peer-reviewed studies about superpowers and in six out of ten, belief is the key." Freddy explained as Billy nodded understandingly.

"Belief. Belief. Belief. Okay. Okay. I believe I can fly." Billy repeated to himself with a goofy grin on his face. "I believe- I believe I can fly!" Cassie smiled at the man who technically still a 15 year old boy as her twin brother pressed record on the camera.
The twins watched as the man, or boy technically speaking, in front of them jump up towards the sky only for gravity to pull him down, falling down to the ground. The two wince as they watched the man on the floor.

"Did you believe ?" The two questioned in unison.

"Yeah !" Billy groaned in frustration and annoyance.

"You wanna try invisibility ?" Freddy asked as Cassie grinned.

"Ooo, yeah good one ! Let's try it !" The girl spoke.

"How do I . . Forget it, you know, okay." Billy concluded as he squinted his face in attempts for something to happen. Freddy tapped on Cassie's wrist as if to tell her to follow his lead.

"Oh my god it worked !" Freddy exclaimed as Cassie caught on and joined in on the fun.

"He's right, oh my god ! Where did you go ?"

"I'm right here you can't see me ?"

"Where?" The two asked as they put forth their best acting efforts to the test. And Billy was for sure having a field day with the (untrue) fact that he was "invisible."

"I'm invisible ! I'm right here, over here." He laughed like a child (which technically he was) in excitement. "I'm invisible, I'm invisible !"

"Hey! Nice outfit, dipshit !" Yelled a man from across the alley. Freddy snickered as Cassie buried her head in his shoulder to stiffle her own laughter.
