Rosie looked at Cameron and kissed him quickly on the cheek, jumping off her perch and flying up into the sky. Cameron laughed madly and followed, leaving his safe spot on top of the Eiffel Tower to shoot after his girlfriend.

'OI, YOU TWO! GET BACK DOWN HERE!' Lucy shouted out. 'WE'VE GOT A PLANE TO CATCH.'

Grudgingly they descended behind a tall building so as to shield themselves from pedestrians.

JJ jumped across the rooftops and landed next to them with a thud.

"Yeah, hurry up guys!" he said, sprinting off again.

When they reached the ground, JJ, Lucy, Robbie, and an invisible Jenny were waiting for them.

"We need to get to the airport in 20 minutes, and the car's out of fuel. Reckon you can push us Cam?" Jenny asked from nowhere. Cameron nodded.

"Sure."

"Great. Then let's go!"

The group climbed into the car and it shot off like a horse out of the gate.

The car pulled up outside the airport with 5 minutes left to departure. Jumping out, the group sprinted into the airport and reached the departure lounge to find a man standing there waiting for them.

"Took your time Robbie. We need to leave 10 minutes ago. We're in first class. Have you got your passports?" the man asked. Robbie shook his head.

"Nope. Don't need them. Let's go then Max!"

Max shrugged and ran through the airport, arriving at the gate just as the last passengers were being waved through.

"Wait!" he called, and the woman behind the desk stopped. Max fumbled in his pockets, but the woman just waved them on, much to Max's bemusement.

"How come she-"

"We'll explain later." Jenny said, catching up to the passengers in front. "Have you found the tickets?"

"We're in First Class. Three pairs and a single seat." Lucy commented. Max shook his head in amazement.

"How do you know all this?"

"It's what we do." Cameron said, smirking.

Again, the flight attendent waved them on through, and they grabbed their seats - the only ones left in the compartment.

"We just made it." Max said, breathless.

JJ turned around from his seat.

"What time do you call this, guys? I've been here for ages waiting for you!"

"What? But? How?"

"Sit down Max." Rosie advised. Max obliged, still bemused. "Now look at my feet."

Max looked down, and his mouth dropped open as he saw Rosie's feet hovering a few inches off the floor.

'That's nothing.' Lucy thought, and Max gasped.

"Did you just..." Lucy nodded.

A book was hovering above the chair in front of Max, next to JJ. Jenny reappeared as Max peered over the seat.

Max turned to Cameron. "So what can you do?"

Cameron shrugged.

"Not much. Mind your head, by the way." he said, just as Max banged his head on the ceiling. Looking down, Max saw he was floating in midair above his seat.

"Who are you people?"

Jenny looked at the group. They all nodded.

"We are the Impossible Humans."
