Later that day, Me and Shadowcat were doing training. A laser gun was about to shoot Shadowcat in the back, but I tore it apart with my telekinesis.
"Thanks."she breathed.
"Don't mention it."
After our first session of training, we got to watch other people train. For instance, when it was Bobby's turn, he turned into ice and froze everything.
"So, how long have you been here?"
"Since I was 12. It was a a stormy night, and I had a dream that I phased through the floor. When I wake up, I'm in the basement and my blanket and pillow are halfway through the ceiling. I thought I was dreaming, but I wasn't."
"Oh, well, I don't exactly have a handle on my powers. You see, one day, while I was sleeping, I opened !y eyes and everything was floating off the ground. I was terrified, but once I lost my concentration, everything fell to the ground."
"Gah!"
We both turn our heads to see Bobby flying across the danger room. He crashed into the wall. A laser was about to go off. My instinct was to help him. I ran over to the glass and concentrated real hard. Then, the gun slowly collapsed in on itself. Bobby look up at me and I gave him a sheepish smile. I went back to Kitty.
"Why'd you do that?"
"Well, I just did. I don't know. He was in trouble so I went to help him." I watched Bobby finish his training session. When he walked by he patted me on the back and said thanks.
"No prob." I walked out of here feeling slightly better. Slightly.

That night, I had a unusual dream. My dream was about a burglary.

I'm in my bed at home, when I heard a window break downstairs. I sat up and went downstairs to see a man in a black suit raiding our kitchen.
"You shouldn't do that." I said.
He turned around and took a gun out of his pocket and aimed at me.
I chuckled. "You must not know who I am." I took out a knife without using my hands. Be dropped his gun and backed up against the counter. "I'm a mutant. I was born with these powers. And you just made a big mistake." I held the knife up to his neck. "Now I'm going to close my eyes and count to 10, and when I open them, you'd better be gone or I'll make sure you don't mess with anyone else for a long time."
I turned my head and covered my eyes. "1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10."
I opened my eyes and he was gone.

I woke up breathing hard and floating in the air. My blanket was still on me, but I am in the air and Kitty is pressed against the wall.
"Z?" Kitty said slowly, "Please let me down."
I calmed myself down and placed Kitty on the ground and me in my bed. I got out my bed and helped Kitty calm down.
"I'm so sorry. I didn't know I was doing anything out of my mind." I looked outside the window to the darkness. "What time is it?"
Kitty looked at the clock. "12:00. We should really get some sleep."
She crawled back into bed and snuggled into her covers. I, however, didn't go to sleep. At least, not automatically. I sat on my bed, cross legged, closed my eyes and concentrated on keeping my power in check. I slowly levitated off my bed and my hair flowed outward like a blossoming flower. I was meditating.
