I'll Be Your Superhero

Powers Part 2

Kaz and Oliver shared a silent conversation with each other as they maintained eye contact.

"Ro," Oliver started, "we should get Caduceo. He'd know how to help us more. Maybe even help restore Macy's powers..."

Ronan shook his head and Phoebe intervened, "Caduceo has limited power usage. We can't waste his time on us. Besides, he can't help unless someone is dying, not if a hero lost their powers."

Kaz clapped, as if he got an idea (which he did). "Wait! Don't we have a power detector somewhere?"

Oliver turned to look at him, "You mean the one we created to find a hero's lost powers? It's only a prototype!"

Phoebe grinned, "That's quite alright because you have Max and I to help you out! We're super-geniuses."

Max uncrossed his arms, "I'll do anything to help Macy."

"Perfect! Help us perfect it and then we can go find Macy's powers...." Kaz said as he, Max, and Phoebe jumped to find the power detector and finish it.

"Wait, what time did she lose her powers at?" Oliver asked, looking at Cherry and Ronan.

Cherry spoke up, "It was right after lunch, so around 1pm?" She sounded uncertain but it was all they had.

"That's not good." Oliver said, rushing to the computer.

"What?" Roman asked, "Why, why is that not good?"

Oliver looked up at the two of them. "Macy's powers have a 24 hour period between the time she loses them until they are gone forever where you can still find them."

Ronan and Cherry shared a look, both biting their lips. Cherry spoke up, "Okay, how much time do we have left?"

Oliver frowned, "Well, depending on how long it takes to finish the power detector, it'll be less, but right now I would say a solid three hours. But, again, that depends on how long it takes for Kaz and the twins to finish the detector."

Ronan fiddled with his thumbs, "Well, what can we do in the mean time?"

"Wait," was all Oliver could respond.

And so they did. Cherry sat and talked with Macy to keep her company as Oliver made sure that her vitals were okay. Eventually Cherry was distracting Macy too much so Oliver sent her away.

She walked over to Ronan, who was pacing across the hospital lobby, and took his hand, leading him to a seat. "You should relax, she's going to be okay. Phoebe and Max are going to get the detector working properly and we're going to save Macy's powers in time."

Ronan smiled at Cherry and her braveness. "Thanks, Cherry, that means a lot."

She smiled and Ronan leaned down to kiss her forehead as she moved closer to him, giggling slightly.

Macy was watching the two of them from where she laid on the gurney with Oliver checking her vitals. "Do you see that? I'm not dreaming, am I?"

Oliver looked back and then looked at Macy again, a smirk plastered on his face. "No, Ace, you're not dreaming. They're really sitting like that."

Macy smiled but her heart ached for Max. She hadn't seen him since she woke up and neither Oliver nor Cherry would tell her where he was.
