The 8th Sparrow

Powers are Back?

Cathy POV

I have no idea why I kissed his cheek, It felt like something controlled me. I brushed off the thoughts and I looked out the window and looked at the scenery. It was so pretty, I haven't been out of the academy in so long. Klaus was thinking about something, I knew because I studied body language years ago. I was about to ask Klaus what he was thinking about, until Five clicks his tongue.

"This isn't so bad," Five said, as he glanced at me but as we got eye contact, he looked away.

"See? Told you!" Klaus agreed

"Hmm" I hummed in agreement, I took a sip out of my drink.

"Come to think of it, my whole life I've always been under the gun working for dad, working for commission,"

Commission? I almost spat out my drink, catching the brother's attention,

"You worked for Commission?" I asked as I swallowed my drink.

"Yeah, Commission helps with-" he started

"Maintaining the timeline, I know," I finished him.

"How do you know Commission?" He asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Oh! Nice to meet you, I'm an ex-Carmichael," I said sarcasticalling taking out a hand to shake.

"A.J's your father?" He asked with guilt? in his eye. I brushed off the thought.

"Yeah," I said proudly, "I heard he's been murdered though, oh, even if he killed my parents, I'm going to kill the person who killed him," I muttered

"He was kinda of a bad boss, you know?" He muttered and I felt the need to go hit him with my slipper.

"Surviving the apocalypse. I was always looking around every corner, just waiting for the other shoe to drop. It's nice to just breathe," Five explained his whole life story. I felt a bit of sympathy, and drop the desire to hit him with a shoe. It felt nice to breathe, not shielding my family from attacks or teaching them how to use their powers, yes, Dad requested me to guide them for using their powers correctly and I made a perfect match for everybody there. But, as I was older, I was better at their powers than them.

Klaus cleared his throat and was going to say something until Five blinked to the front seat next to me.

"So, I circled all the roadside attractions along the way," Five said showing me his map.

"I'm not sure we have enough time.." Klaus muttered, which I heard but, Five ignored him.

"We have the Brownsville Big Nickel," Five suggested.

"No, we have to go to Rickey's Bakery! They make the perfect pies!" I stated

"If you just let me explain.." Klaus attempted to get Five attention, but, I gave him my full attention.

"We should go to Cow Hedge," Five stated.

"Listen to me! Just shut up for 5 seconds, okay? Five seconds, alright?" Klaus screams over Five's talking. Five folded the map with a loud exaggerated sigh that I rolled my eyes to. He gave Klaus a sarcastic smile.

"Okay! I'm all ears!" Five said with attitude dripping off every word.

"We... are going to Pennysvlianna to find ... my birth mother, Yay!" Klaus explains.

Five's blood boiled with rage, but, I was genuinely happy for him, because, I wished, I saw my mom maybe only once before I was taken away.

"Excuse me?" Five said through his gritted teeth.

"I'm sorry, okay? I'm sorry, I just needed somebody for emotional support!" Klaus attempted to tell Five.

"Oh, emotional support?" Five starts but I interrupted him.

"It's fine, you should see your mom once," I started, "Before they get killed," I muttered. As I saw Five's facial expressions softened and Klaus stopped arguing for a few seconds.

"I knew you wouldn't come if I told you, so what was I supposed to do?" He tried to reason with Five.

"You could've dumped Five and I would've came with you!" I said, staring into his brown eyes.

"This was supposed to be a carefree road trip!" Five yelled at Klaus ignoring me.

"Well, it still can, babe," Klaus tried to talk sense into Five, Five stops arguing and looks at a sign,

Ball of Twine

"Ball of twine? Klaus, turn!" Five said, as he gripped the wheel.

"What?! Five! Five!" Klaus said trying to get the control.

"It's one of the best ones! Come on!" Five shouted.

"Five! We're going to die!" Klaus yelled.

"I don't care! No Twine, No birth mother!" Five shouts almost crashing into a car, as I closed my eyes, ready for death to greet me again. But the car suddenly slowed, and Five stared at my hands.

"What?" I asked Five.

"Look!"

I looked at my hand see light gold swirling on my fingertips, a lot lighter than usual aura surrounded.

-flash back-

14 year old

"Number Eight! Concentrate on stopping these cars from crashing into you!" Mr Hargreaves yelled at me, as a car started their engine. Don't worry, I was immortal so, if the cars crash into me, I will just revive into this body.

My hands swirled with powerful bright gold aura, as I positioned myself. The day before that day, we practiced lifting objects now, I'm stopping cars. It wasn't fair, all Fei does was let her crows drown the place for practice, Jayme just need to spit and Alphonso just needed to be punched. But, me, I need to take turns trapping their powers and using every single power that exist. I thought to myself.

That was the day I found out I was a dangerous threat to the world. I was meant to stop the car not squeeze blood out of the drivers body. I positioned myself at pushed the car but the car kept end trying to push through so I, thought of using blood manipulation to squeeze his feet to stop him from hitting the lever, but, I made the whole body explode. That day, I was injected with pure energy that refrained me from aging.

-present-

When I got unzoned out, I realized that I was panting like crazy and my cuff started burning me, it felt like boiling water splashed on my skin that I shouted so loud, I bet, one of Fei's crow heard. I heard Klaus and Five talking and calming me, but, I didn't concentrated on their words. I had to stop the cars from crashing into our car and I whispered out a

"Go,"

 Klaus launched out with the car and drove off fast as I stopped using my powers as soon as Klaus was where the car can't hit us. Then all I knew was Black
