"You okay?" Jane asks as she keeps hold of Chris's hands as he does not seem to relax at all.

"I am fine" Chris grits through his teeth, which worries her more.

"Just try to control it," Jane whispers lightly to him.

"I cannot, it's not as simple as you think," Chris snaps aloud and winces seeing her smile fall.

"I am sorry. Jane, I am trying, trying the moment we were in the car. It is hard for me, so please" Chris apologizes as well as trying to make her see the point.

"It's okay, if you want we can go back," Jane states rubbing his arm lightly.

"I am sorry to ruin the day for you" he apologizes once again but try as he might he cannot take it anymore.

He cannot stand the voices inside in his head; he cannot sit for a second longer and hear the thoughts of people around him.

"Dev, so sorry but I think we better leave" Jane informs the couple in front of her busy with their own talk.

"Why, what happened" Dev asks as he was enjoying his meal.

"I think Chris is not feeling fine," she points hurriedly getting up.

Both Ariel and Dev look towards Chris for the first time after they arrived, he looks very pale as if ready to throw up anytime.

"You okay?" Ariel asks worried as she goes to touch his arm.

That movement alone snaps Chris's control and he garbs her hands tightly in his hand, which brings a scream out of her mouth.

"Air"

"Chris"

Both Dev and Jane shout at once in horror as Chris looses his control.

Dev creates a shield around the four of them before he grabs Chris by his collar and push his away from the girls. Both the boys go crashing out of the window while the people in and out of the restaurant shriek and scream in terror.

Dev tries to hold Chris back but he cannot, as there were too many humans around.

"Dev" Jane shouts as she has hold of Ariel who looked pale.

"Fuck" Dev shouts before letting go of his powers and stopping the time.

Within a moment, he opens the portal and throws the three of them inside before he goes back to work by erasing all the memories of the witnesses.

Chris, along with Jane and Ariel finds themselves in the garden of Chris's house. Chris blinks back a few times as the voices inside of his head all stop and he feels light.

"Ariel, Ariel" Jane shouts trying to keep her awake.

Chris looks towards an injured Ariel then back at a frantic Jane and moves to help them.

"What, what happened?" Chris asks as he picks Ariel up in his arms and walks towards the house.

"Dev must have teleported us here when both of you gathered too many witnesses" Jane cries as she worries about Ariel's condition.

"Mom" Chris shouts for his mother who gasps as soon as she sees them.

"What...how are you here?" she asks in shock.

"I will explain later but first we need to heal her" Chris requests as he shows Ariel's hand which was twisted badly.

"Oh my" Crystal gasps seeing Ariel's arm's condition.

Chris slowly lays her down on the couch before letting Crystal handle the situation but before anyone could do anything Dev walks towards Ariel.

"I got it," he answers before slashing his wrist and sucking the blood.
