Sisters

Jake's pov

I'm starting to get the feeling Jordan hates me. When I did my gun trick she brushed it off like it wasn't cool or impressive. Or talk to her about it, I can't do anything, and actually when I did my trick I thought that might make her like me more or at all, but everything I do gets the opposite effect and it's starting to make me feel bad. But I mean, not everyone will like me, I just don't want Grace to be upset we don't get along. I'm probably coming off as cocky but I'm not. If she doesn't like me at first fine! But I will become her friend I will try. There are some things she doesn't know about me, and that is that I don't give up easily. anyway back to present time. Jordan was looking at the door and only focusing on that, that she didn't the sword coming. But I did and I grabbed her laser shield rod off of her belt  and spun it. The sword luckily only hit the shield. I grabbed my pistol (which I had been training with for forever) and shot the attacker right between the eyes. Turns out it was one of Grace's traps. Jordan looked up at me and just said," Thanks." THANKS!!!!!!! THAT'S ALL I GET IS A WEAK THANKS!!!!! I FLIPPING SAVED YOUR LIFE AND YOU JUST GIVE ME A WEAK THANKS! I'm so frustrated that I go up to the door Jordan was looking at and shot it open. Jordan jumped back and said," WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT FOR!"
I looked at her with fire in my eyes and my body caught on fire and I blacked out! I wake up to Jordan's sobs. OH MY GOD WHAT HAVE I DONE! Jordan just heals herself and is still sobbing though from the traumatising experience I put her through. Oh my God, I feel awful. I cradle her in my arms and let her cry on me. I must of apologized a thousand times. I am a awful human being. I just cradle her for what seems like hours. I finally get up and explain. When I was born I knew I was different. I first learned I had these powers when I was twelve and I was playing on the playground when this big, mean bully came up to me and told me I was an idiot and deserved to be beaten. He then proceeded to beat me. But next thing I know I blacked out and I woke up and he was burned and bleeding I thought I was a murderer. I didn't even know what I did. I ran home and never spoke a word about it. Then when I was 13 a man approached me and tried to kidnap me again I blacked again. The man was on the ground face down and I just ran. I knew I did something great when I blacked out, but I never figured it out. So, I could be doing something so crazy, so nutty, and I have no idea what it is. But as I continue to think about this, I realize something. I can finally figure out what I do. Before, I could not simply ask what I had done. I open my mouth too fast though, and I close it as fast as I can, I know this is not a good time. And I ask myself when I should ask. In two tasks, or when we get back to Grace and everything is okay. But thankfully, she doesn't notice I start to say something, even though she's not crying  anymore. I help her up and stand up for myself too. We need to get on, and keep moving. Grace needs us and we need her. I think about which door we'll hit next. But Jordan is fine and decides to go to the door on the third to the right without consulting me. "Translate. Please." she demands of me. "Um... I think it says, 'Extreme Weapons'." Jordan hesitates and doesn't move for the door. "Round two." I say. "Hopefully not." she replies.  She stares at it for a minute.
I say sarcastically,"Well? Are you waiting for the door to open itself?"
Jordan says back," ha ha very funny. Not!"
I say," Then open it."
Jordan reluctantly says," fine fine."
Jordan looks at the door and opens two locks and deactivates two traps and opens the door.
I take lead and go in first with my pistol raised. The room's walls were filled top to bottom with weapons. My eyes grew to the size of a tennis ball and I could feel my jaw hit the floor as I stared in amazement at all the weapons. Like a kid in a candy store I ran toward one wall where a ton of regular things were on the wall. Since I've seen a thousand spy movies, I knew they weren't regular. The first thing I went for was a pen because there is a scene from Percy Jackson the Lightning Thief, in the beginning Percy is given a pen and he clicks the pen and it turns into a sword. So I grabbed the pen and clicked it and my thoughts were correct because it turned into a sword. I put it my pocket for "emergencies". The next thing I grabbed was a USB drive. I think Grace might of mentioned something about it being able to open any encrypted file or any computer. So I threw it in my backpack.
I asked," Hey Jordan, are you ready to go?"
Jordan replied," Yeah."
"Okay."
I walk out of the room and translate the next room,"Deep dark secrets."
Jordan stuttered,"Umm I.. May.....be we could just take a peak."
I tried to make it less awkward and said,"It shouldn't hurt I mean we deserve to know. I am her boyfriend and you are her sister."
Jordan opens the door and this time she walked in first. The room had tons of notes separated in fifteen piles. It took me a few seconds to notice that there were signs above each pile of notes. And then I saw that the signs were labeled 1-15.
Jordan realized it before me and said,"I think each sign is the age Grace was when the secret occurred. So if we want to find out more about Grace we should split up the years. But we should only do it from three and up. Mostly because nothing really important happened during the first two years of her life I'm guessing by the amount of letters. I'll take 3-8 and you can take 9-15."
I agreed and we went to work. I started at 15 because I thought that would be the most interesting. 10 minutes later. Woah! This one said that Grace has been doing all these experiments on me. Apparently she's been trying to give tons of different powers to me. And the whole thing worked. She put a list of the powers she gave me on the note and it's long! But only half is there and the rest was ripped off. Here's the list of powers.

                    Powers
1.healing factor-the ability to rapidly heal..
2.reflexes- ability to react to quicker than normal.
3.Power absorption-the ability to mimic powers from people around you or to touch someone and have their powers
4.Danger sense-to sense danger.
-end of list-

I show Jordan the note and her eyes widen. Jordan suggests,"You should try and find all your powers and test the list to see if you can do them."
I deside the first thing I'm going to test is the healing factor power. So, I take out my knife and slide the blade across the palm of my hand. Sure enough my cut heals in about 5 seconds or less. So the healing factor works. I take another look at the list and after deciding that the one that has the least risk is power absorption. I walk over to Jordan and said,"Don't worry I'm not being weird I'm just going to try one of the powers."
Jordan said," Okay."
I put my hand on her shoulder and I start to feel energy coming from her shoulder and copying itself. It feels as though she's giving the copied version to me. Then when I raise my hand and focus I start to travel back in time and farther and farther until when I see Grace at the age of probably 4-5 practicing karate and martial arts in this big dojo. I stop it there and start to live the time. There are two adult men talking in hushed voices. I start to move closer and begin to make out what they are saying.
"Jordan isn't reaching the expectations she should be making. I just don't think she's ready."
" I agree. Grace has surpassed the expectations."
"I think we should still train Jordan just not as hard as we will train Grace."
"Agreed."
The memory ends and  I enter back to the real world. The first words out of my mouth were, "Woah."  Jordan asked, "What do you mean woah? What happened?" She says with a hint of sass. I told her what had happened and she gave me a strange look. I  asked, " Why are you giving me that face? What did I do?"
"You didn't do anything. It's just that I remember them training us and doing tests on us. It's all incredibly weird."
Not knowing how to respond to that I just nod and leave the room. I look at the rest of the doors and decide to skip the rest and just go back to the powers room. I head in first gun drawn still. I look from side to side and find a note on a table in the middle of the room. Picking it up I see that it's in German and it says pull third handle. I look around and see a cabinet with two handles. Well crud. As I start to give up Jordan just pushes me out of the way and solves the puzzle and finds the third handle and pulls. It opens revealing a glowing potion inside. I start to take it out but Jordan stops me. "What if it's a trap, or something!"
I laugh and shake my head."you worry too much, lets just take it and go." I pick it up and smile about to say see when the room starts shaking. Dang. I feel my ultra reflex kick in and I take Jordan's hand and sprint out of the room then out of the closet to where I find Grace. Grace shouts," hurry up throw the potion on me already!" I start to toss but I give the potion to Jordan."you deserve to do it."
She looks at me and smiles,"thanks."
Grace impatiently shouts," that's great and all but this hurts!" Jordan glares," yeah yeah!"
Jordan tosses the potion on Grace causing her great pain for a few seconds then to convert back to her original self exhausted. Well that was fun. A second Grace with red hair comes into the room."oops." Jordan and I look at each other and then back at Grace. Jake says,"well I guess this means we are going to have a Part two!"
