"Okay I know you are all scared but in a short amount of time you can achieve pure greatness." Charlotte announced to the new comers. "Rest up for now. In the morning we'll begin your training." She walked over to Zack. "Hey Zack."
"Hey boss." Zack joked hugging her. "How have things been here?"
"Same old." Charlotte looked at Zack. "How was your trip?"
"Amazing. I feel more relaxed."
"Good. I'm glad." She stifled a yawn. "Well I'm beat. Night Zack."
"Night Charlie."
"Don't be up too late."
"I won't." Zack called after her as she went to the dorm room and fell asleep in her bed that may have been stolen.

"Charlotte!" Zack ran to Charlotte.
"What now?"
"We've found another."
"Where?"
"Your house." Zack looked up at her. "That makes no sense."
"I know who it is."
"Who?" Zack asked before it dawned on him. "Sam."
"I'll be back." Charlotte teleported to her home. "Sam!"
"Charlie!" Sam ran to Charlotte. She picked up her 6 year old brother. "What's happening to me?"
"Calm down buddy. I'm gonna protect you." Charlotte teleported them to the factory that got turned into their hideout. "You'll be staying here with us. I promise everything will be okay."
"Pinkie promise?" He help up his pinkie.
"Pinkie promise." Charlotte hooked her pinkie with Sam's. They both kiss their hand. Charlotte noticed Zack heading towards them. "I'll get Zack to show you around. I have something to do." Charlotte handed Sam to Zack.

"Pair up!" Charlotte yelled. Her group got into pairs. "Start simple. Number your selves 1 or 2. Number 1 you will be trying to read your partner's mind while they push you out. If you manage to read their mind keep trying till you are forced out. Once you are forced out switch." Charlotte was met with confused looks. "Oh my God. Partners. Try. Pushing. Each. Other. Out. Of. Your. Heads." She repeated as if she was talking to a bunch of little kid. Her group finally started doing what she asked. Charlotte was annoyed and had to blow off some steam without hurting others.

She walked over to the punching back and started to furiously punch it. "Idiots."
"Sounds like you had a fun time." Julia joked stopping the bag that was swinging. Charlotte shot her a look and cursed her. "Watch your mouth Charlotte."
"Mama I don't know if I can be a leader."
"Charlie look at what you've created."
"I created a hiding place."
"It is not a hiding place." Zack joined them. Julia walked out giving the two some privacy. "Its a safe haven for our people."
"That may be. But I can't do this no more. Its too exhausting."
"Charlie make someone a co leader."
"Zack please help me run this place."
"Of course." Zack pulled Charlotte into a hug. "Don't stress yourself out."
"What would I do without you?"
"Crash and burn." Zack joked earning a soft chuckle from Charlotte. "Go get some sleep. I'll watch everyone and Sam."
"Thanks Zacky."
"Don't ever call me that again." Zack playfully pushed Charlotte away. "Now go Charlie."
"Okay." Charlotte teleported to her house and went to sleep.
