The Fire: Libra's PoV

Chapter 3

I stare at the sidewalk, hands in my pockets, walking briskly. Are...Did we...? Are we really that powerful? Did we fling football players around like ragdolls? Did I really slam someone against the wall with just my mind? I sigh deeply. And I was actually starting to like this place. I guess it's my fault for getting attached though. You can't get attached in this walk of Life. I walk beside Bing down the hall, following behind a shaking Kay.

"What did you do?" She asks, barely audible.

Oh nothing much. Just threatened not only his life but his soul and probably gave him nightmares that will probably cause him to die from lack of sleep anyways. "Nothing I regret and nothing he didn't deserve."

"You didn't murder him right?"

"Sadly not. No." We fall into silence. I wonder if I need to...

"Libra." I raise my head, looking at Kay. "Can you tell anyone who can hear that we are leaving?" Yep. I need to.

I nod sharply, taking a deep breath and exhaling out energy. It's kinda a feeling of goodbye. Basically like when you are walking away from something big and important and you turn and look back for one last glance, before continuing to walk away.

We are nearly to the gates when we hear a familiar voice call out. Damn. I keep forgetting about him. "Hey! You could at least wait for mwa if you invite mwa come."

Jorge. Otherwise known as gorilla. Big ears, high intelligence, and a big mouth that he knows how to use. Sometimes he's ok and I can get along with him...Other times, not so much. Kay stops and lets him catch up. Have fun.

"Oh great." Bing mutters.

"Be nice. He-" I'm cut off by Robert.

"What the heck happened back there?"

"You don't know?" Queen stops and waits for us to catch up.

"No." He grips his little sister's hand tighter. "No, I don't."

"Ah..... You're one of those." I nod. That explains why I've never gotten anything off of him before.

"What's that supposed to mean?" He glares at me.

"Libra." Bing warns.

"Stand down kid." That's the last thing I wanna do. Pissing him off would be dangerous to us all. Especially after that display back there. "It's nothing to terribly bad, it just means that you don't have a clue about what you can do." But if he didn't have any training, how is he that powerful? Hell, I've been practicing for as long as I can remember and he just bursts in and helps us fling football boys around. But then again, anger is a powerful thing.

Robert opens his mouth to respond but Bing cuts him off. "Why are you even out of class?" She says looking back at Gorilla.

"School sucks and all the people that are relatively close to my level of intelligence are already out of the gate."

I snort, shaking my head when sirens draw me from my thoughts. Dammit. Every time. "What the hell do they think the police are gonna do?" Shoot us? Robert's little sister looks terrified at the word police.

"Who knows? Let's blow this Popsicle stand!" Queen picks up the pace.

"Ok. Head to HQ." Kay makes the executive decision. Although it's not like we really need one.

We end up moving around way too much. A year here. A year there. A few months way over there. God we need to get a handle on our tempers. It's always for the right reason but dear Lord I don't think I managed to stay any longer than a year since I've joined.
