As Johnny and I rushed through the hospital in barely any clothes I couldn't help but laugh at the nurses faces as he asked for directions to Reed and Sue. After being directed we burst through the restaurants double doors, clinging to the little clothing we had to keep decent."Hey, you guys."Johnny said as we rushed over to their table. Johnny looked to another nurse "Hey" he said trying to keep it cool as his bottom half was wrapped in my pink coat."You're never gonna believe what just happened to Johnny!" I exclaimed pulling the jumper down to cover the tops of my thighs. Sue and Reed looked between our nearly naked bodies. "What?" Johnny questioned. Looking down at himself that briefly at me."Oh well we can explain this!" He said quickly waving a hand between myself and him.

After Johnny had explained and I backed him up with the facts, we also found out that Reed stretched his arm to an abnormal length and Sue turned invisible. When asking about Ben we found out that only me and Ben hadn't show any similar extraordinary signs. As we walked along the corridor, Johnny and I hung behind as Reed and Sue argued about the possibilities. Johnny was looking at his hands and began to click his fingers."What are you doing?" I questioned still walking towards Ben's room. Suddenly a flame lit above Johnny's finger leaving us both in awe and shock."Whoa guys." I shouted catching Reed and Sue's attention. They turned around to scold us but soon stopped seeing Johnny and me walking toward them with his fingers alight. "Look!" Johnny exclaimed continuing to click his fingers causing them to light and extinguish the flame. The two scientists looked at us in shock."Now picture that, BUT EVERY WHERE!!" Johnny exclaimed with me nodding next to him."It was everywhere!!" I finalised moving my hand around in front of him."What?!?!" He exclaimed getting to excited.

"The cloud has alternately altered our DNA."Johnny laughed hysterically at Reed's solution."COOL!!" Johnny and I said in unison."And guys I think I was flying!" Johnny continued. The others ignored him so he turned to me."Do something with your hands." I rose may eyebrow but he just smiled encouragingly. Sighing I pushed my hands together and then slowly pulled them apart. To my amazement a perfect orb of water was floating between the palms of my open hands. I gasped causing the water to disperse and fall to the ground. The puddle it caused made me slip and fall into an unladylike position with the large jumper risen above my hips,leaving my underwear on show. Sue and Reed turned around again to see what the fuss was about."Look Alexa can do something too!!" Johnny exclaimed helping me up.I pulled the Jumper down and performed the same action again showing Reed and Sue the water orb.

They both looked at one another "We need to get to Ben!" They said together before rushing of in front of us. Johnny turned to me."This. Is. So. Cool!!" he exclaimed before lifting me up and spinning me around."Oh and in answer to your question in the Helicopter. I would love you to be my Girlfriend." I smiled before pushing my lips to his. It was a short kiss as we were quickly called by Sue. We smiled at each other as we rushed off to Ben's room. My god how quickly were things changing for me. Johnny and I continued playing with our new abilities. The sounds of clicking and dripping water soon filled the corridors. "I said cut it out guys!" Sue said under her breath obviously annoyed with our sound affects. Me and Johnny continued "Johnny, Lex!" Sue continued. Obviously the two of us didn't listen and continued as Reed hammered on Ben's door. Sue turned around glaring at us."Stop!" She commanded. We both stopped instantly with water falling to our feet from a dispersed water globe I made moments before.

"Alright" Johnny stated calmly at his sister."Alright!" Sue exclaimed."Yes." I said trying to calm down the tension."God!" Sue continued. "God!" Johnny replied obviously wanting to whined his sister up."What's wrong with you?" Sue finished looking at us both before turning to Reed to help him."What?" Johnny questioned looking to me. I smiled and shrugged my shoulders. Suddenly a crash came from Ben's room and the four of us rushed to the door and began banging and ordering Ben to open up. Johnny turned away looking for staff "Does someone have keys for these doors?" He questioned. I inwardly smiled at Johnny's concern especially considering he always annoys the guy.

Sue was typing codes into the keypad but nothing was working."Anybody?!" I shouted rushing down to the end of the hall still searching for a member of staff. I sighed and returned back to Johnny's side. Suddenly Reed got down to his knees and pushed his hand under the door. His fingers flattering and his arm extending. Me, Sue and Johnny watched awaiting for Reed to unlock the door. As he pulled his hand back out and the door was unlocked he turned to face us."That's gross" Johnny dead panned with a face of disgust. I nodded in agreement but quickly stopped as a loud bang came from inside Ben's room.

Reed quickly pushed open the door. The four of us were greeted with a broken wall."Ben?" I questioned walking forward with Johnny on my tail. "Look, look, look, look, look." Johnny stated pointing over my shoulder through the wall."What is that thing?" I questioned looking at the large orange figure running off into the distance."What's going on?" Someone said from the door way. We all turned around quickly to be met with Victor. I immediately backed up into Johnny's chest not really trusting victor and his wondering eyes, considering I was still only in a jumper."What happened in here?" Victor continued. I ignored the discussion Sue and Reed where having with victor and pulled Johnny over to a small cup of water."What?" He questioned."Do you think I can....Absorb it or something?" I questioned. He shrugged his shoulders and stood back obviously awaiting for me to test my theory. I pointed my finger over the plastic cup and watched in amazement as the water began to seep through my finger. I pulled away surprised and turned to Johnny who seemed to be as mesmerized as me. Turning around to see Victor leaving Johnny spoke up "Any idea's where the big guys going?" I shrugged my shoulders turning to Sue and Reed. "His going home." Reed spoke up.
