I wrote Scout on my wall with sharpie. Along with Joseph, Jordan, Talia, Antonio, Rose, Richard and Andre. It helped me do the next imaginary missions again. We were a great team. Isaiah watched over us as he controlled the mind system since he was the one who created it. He pointed it out each time. Andre and I got even closer each mission. Each time.
We would save each others lives. We made sure of that, I felt like I was falling in love with him. But his overly protected sister's voice rang in my ears. "He's a ticking time bomb." I always shook the silent romantic moments off and would end it with a hand shake, or just a lame "Well, bye" Just friendly gestures, I would never let him in. Even if he has made it clear he really does care about me.
As the crew and I started getting even more famous around campus, we also started getting closer. We were like a tiny friend/family. We stand around the cafeteria tables and we found out Liz story. How she was an orphan child who nobody would want until they found out how fast she was. By then Sophia found her and brought her here and how she'd rather be here with different people than with people who only cared how many metals she got.
Cassidy told us how it was growing up on the campus. How jealous she could be of her sister because she was the 'better' child so she got to live in a real house. So she took most of her life training for a power she had and being angry all the time. When she finally realized she didn't want to be an unhappy bitch the rest of her life, so she turned her jolly happy. She got her power and she's been working on her attitude shifting, not just her power.
Then Isaiah, the weird dorky guy started telling his story. That he lived a complete normal life as a nerd. He didn't do his homework he just hacked into the system and made his grades to A's. That it was also hard because he had people like Matthew Scott bullying him. Then he got his power one day when they got into a fight, he said he used his smartness to get out of it and they found out they each had powers. They chose bad for their powers, they were the number one, mysterious criminals in New York robbing all types of banks and rich peoples houses.
Matt backed Isaiah up on the story saying he did use it his powers to get out that cookie. Then how he grew up getting beat by his widowed father. He was angry at the world and his father was the head of the biggest bank in New York, so they robbed it and left him out of a job. Matt finally went back home, his father figured out and threatened to kill him so Matt blacked out and nearly killed him. Isaiah stepped in and they left home going to look for other people like them and they found George and he recruited them here.
"You knew my father?" I ask them. They both nodded there head, "What is he like?"
"He is a good man, you remind me a lot like him, brave courageous." Isaiah says as he fixes his glasses. Matt nods as he pats my shoulder for comfort. "Well, what about you, we told you our stories, tell us yours." I look over at Andre, he knows my story. Knows how painful it is for me to even think about. He opens his mouth to say something but I speak up.
"I couldn't tell you," I finally say. I look around at my friends. "It's because I don't know it yet." I say painfully. "A month ago, I would've told you, I lost my father and my two siblings when I was four. Ever since then me and my mother worked as a maid and I was wrongly abused by someone who should be dead.-- but if I did, I wouldn't have met you guys, I wouldn't be introduced to such amazing people."
"Aww," Cassidy says as she gives me a hug. Everyone starts piling in as Andre sits at the other side far from us and Liz stands on the other side. "Come in here."
"Oh, uh-uh" Liz says with her hands on her shoulders. "I don't believe in P.D.A" She lamely says.
"Oh, what ever, bring it in. Lame-o" She exclaims as she pulls in her for a hug. "I absolutely love you guys."
Everyone chipped in there "I love you." then broke the hug. For a second I saw Liz actually smile.
She notices everyone else catch her then she stops. "What the hell are you scums looking at?" We all start to laugh.
"I'm sure you were just smiling." Jhene says with her hand on Matts waist looking in love. I smiled as this is where I felt like I belonged. At home with Gloria and Katherine I was in the shadows. No one would ever see me as good enough to be a person to make my own.
"I was not." Liz argues. I smile as I stare at Andre who starts to walk away then back at the group. "Don't we have a mission?" Liz looks at me. "Right twinkle toes?" I suck in my drool and bring back my focus.
"Huh?" I ask staring back at my crew.
"Hello, earth to Lexis" Cassidy chuckles.
"See why don't you get on her guys?" Liz once again chips in. "She's the one in love with our crew leader." I gasp.
"I am not." Everyone looked dead at me. Not believing my accusation. "Well Beth just smiled." She stuck her tongue out at me. The crew giggled as we walked toward our prep room.
"True." Isaiah said. Liz elbows his stomach. "ouch."
"Why do I always have to be picked on jerks." Liz whines as people stares at us walking down the hall.
"Well now on base I don't think we ever will be by anybody else." We look around as everyone stops to stare and smile. They start to clap. "Did something happen in the process eating grilled cheese?"
At the end of the hallway Katherine stands waiting for us. "I thought we actually had to do something for people to actually be happy about it."
"Yeah, well little sister," Cassidy says wearing her leather dress. "Something tells me we are going to and it is not going to be imaginary."
