I froze, the pained grin on his face grew wider. I jumped out of the way just as he started to shoot. I gave a sharp cry of pain as I felt a bullet hit my arm. I bit the inside of my cheek, making vines wrap around his legs and ensnaring the gun. 

The rest of E/n's 'friends' came rushing through the door shouting. There were only six of them.. I swallowed, my arm drenched in blood already. I was about to ensnare them in my vines but they were carrying stones with glowing orange veins. My powers stopped working. Shit.

"Not much without your powers huh?" One of the guys cooed mockingly.

I knocked his gun out of his hand, punching him and muttering, "Not much without your gun huh?" 

Then the pain of my arm came back into reality, I hissed, tears welling. One of the guys bashed my head against the wall, I felt blood trickle down my forehead from the gash. I started to feel lightheaded, the last four guys came at me.

The same guy came around and bashed my head against the wall, just as I heard someone burst through the door.

"KNOCK IT OFF!" I familiar deep voice roared.

Cole was followed by Zane who helped me finish off the guys. Which they tied up for the police. Cole brought me outside, hugging me.

He wrapped my arm, "Are you okay?" He said urgently, his eyes soft. Zane went back inside to look around.

"I'm good." I said, trying to keep my voice steady.

"I should have been able to take them." I hissed my voice shaking in rage, "If they hadn't had those rocks."

"Ok One: You started like a day ago. Two : You beat the shit out of most of them. Three : Rocks?" Cole said, putting a hand on my shoulder.

"Rocks, they made my powers go out."

"Vengestone. How did those idiots get their hands on actual vengestone." Cole muttered to himself.

I should have been able to beat them..  As if reading my mind Cole cleared his throat.

"You are a goddamn Negative Nancy." He said with an amused smile.

I gave a scoff. Cole just grinned, "Pessimistic Peteee" He sang.

I punched him on the arm, I couldn't help grinning back at him.

"You have to give yourself a break, you started literally a day ago. Your not going to be a master in your first week." Cole said putting a hand on mine.

"Cole?" I asked softly, as I put a hand on my arm, starting to heal it.

"Mhm?"

"What were you really going to say earlier today?" I asked.

"What do you mean?" Cole said watching as I healed my arm.

"Out on the stairs, what were you going to ask?" I said watching the wound start to seal.

"Oh that.." Cole mumbled sheepishly, "Nothing important."

I raised an eyebrow but sat down on the curb. He sat down next to me.

"But it's something." I said softly looking at him, my hand still on my slowly healing arm.

"It's stupid, even more so now." Cole said with a frown.

"I'll be the judge of that." I said in a haunty voice.

"Iwaswonderingifyouwouldwanttogogetsomethingtoeatbutyourhurtand youshouldn'tbecauseIwouldn'twantyoutohurtyourselfmoreorsomethingIguessandoriginallyIwasgoingtoaskyouifyouwantedmetobeyourboyfriendbutIrealizedit'stosoonandIwouldsoundlikeamanwhore." Cole said, turning red and taking a huge breath.
