Extraordinary

Chapter 20: Practice

So, we are now superheroes. We start up the plan by finding a HQ to meet at.

Why not the old library? No one goes in there.

We agreed that the old library would be our HQ. 

So, every day after school, Tempest, Reece, and I would practice our powers in the old library on dummies that we made from flour sacks and paper towels.

I had to admit, it was pretty fun. To watch Reece and Tempest defeat those dummies.

I couldn't practice on the dummies, I had to practice on real people. 

So, after Reece and Tempest were done burning, electrifying, pulsing snow on, and raining on the dummies, I practiced by telling them what they were thinking. 

"What am I thinking of?" Reece asked.

I look into her thoughts, and am not surprised at what I hear.

"We are going to be some awesome super heroes," Reece's thoughts say. "What a great idea!"

"You're thinking about how awesome we'll be when we're superheroes," I tell her. "You also think it's a great idea." I add with a smirk. 

Reece grins embarrassedly and says, "Well, it is a good idea, if I say so myself."

"Ooh, what am I thinking?" Tempest asks excitedly.

I look into Tempest's thoughts. They say, "It was really great to be defeating those dummies out there. I'm happy there's going to be more practice!"

"You're thinking about how it was great to defeat the dummies, and how you're really happy there's going to be more practices."

Tempest looks at me in awe. "Wow," she says.

"Wait a second." Reece says. "You'll never figure out what I'm thinking right now." 

"I bet I can!" I say. 

Reece screws up her face and thinks. Then, once I know she's ready, I look into her mind. 

"Bananas bananas bananas bananas..."

I burst out laughing. "Bananas bananas bananas over and over and over again," I say, still laughing. 

Reece looks dissapointed, but can't help laughing along. 

Next is practicing my X-ray vision. 

To practice, I look through the wall, and tell Reece and Tempest what I see. Then, Tempest runs next door, looks at what's there, and comes back to tell me if I'm right or not.

I'm right every time.

Reece is definitely right. We are going to be great superheroes.
