PART: 17

First thing in the morning, Christina brought me my outfit. It's stunning in every facet. The leather is silk and shinning. It's what I designed and it's exactly what I wanted. I'm coming closer and closer to becoming a hero, or at least a wannabe hero.

At breakfast, Cifer sat down with Chloe and I. His nose is still bruised. Not as bad as yesterday. He only spent an hour in recovery Chloe said. The medicine Sid gave me works miracles. The bruising on my ribs have faded into a light blue. My face wasn't as ugly as I thought it would be. My lip was busted and dried blood was all on my face yesterday. Now they are almost completely healed.

"What's your power, Cifer?" I ask.

"I can make it cold baby," he says. "Anything I touch can turn into ice."

"Sweet."

"Not sweet when he freezes your food as a prank," Chloe says, punching him in the arm.

Cifer laughs. "That was an accident."

"Sure it was," she giggles. These two have been going back and forth with the short giggles and blushing. A blind person could see they have the hots for each. Why not date?

"Show me your power, Chloe," I say.

She looks over at Landon who keeps looking at us. Today he has been staring a lot more. "We're not allowed to use our powers unless it's in the training room," she whispers.

Who the fuck cares?

"I don't listen to that," Cifer says, taking his orange juice to his mouth. He has the right idea.

Breakfast ends and Chloe and I walk to training together. Cifer went back over to his friends. "How did your parents know Charles?" I ask.

"They were long time best friends. My parents actually went to Charles when my telekinesis started taking place."

"Was that before the OFH?"

"Yeah, he taught me before all this started. He told us Landon had powers and that I wasn't the only one. That's how Charles became my tutor."

We enter the training area. This all brings back bad memories. "Did you know Landon before the OFH?"

"Yes then no. We were friends but not close. He was pretty distant. I've only gotten to know him through training. It was surprising when he wanted to talk to you in recovery. He makes friendly conversation but nothing out of it. Did he fuss at you?"

"Sort of. It was more like a half lecture, half talk."

"Oh," she smiles. We sit down on a mat. I place my water bottle beside me.

"What are you smiling about?" I ask.

"Nothing," Chloe looks down at her shoes still smiling. She looks back up at me then says, "Nothing at all sweet darling."

I don't understand her sometimes. Every time she mentions Landon and I in the same sentence she is either smiling or holding her chuckles deep within her throat. I let it go.

"Soooo....we're in the training area. Why don't you show me those powers of yours?" I persuaded.

"Okay," Chloe gives in. She focuses on my Fiji water bottle. It begins to raise off the ground slowly then drops back down. I can do the same thing. At least I think.

"Holy fuck that was cool!"

She bows. "Thank you." If only I could do that when I want to.

"What's going on with you and Cifer?" I ask randomly. I wanna know what's going on. Are they a thing? Are they friends with benefits? I want answers.
