(Bryce's POV)
I sighed as I closed my bedroom door behind me. I was going back out to meet with Adam once again. By this point, my meeting with him were becoming less like lessons and more like weekly training sessions. Over the two months of practicing with Adam, I had almost completely mastered my powers, and now Adam was moving onto things like offensive and defensive moves, along with strategizing and learning how to predict others movements.
"Oh good Bryce, you're here. If you don't mind, I have a request for you. Of course, I'm not going to force you to do anything, but it would be extremely helpful if you could," Adam said as soon as I walked into the clearing.
"What do you want me to do?" I asked, curiosity filling me.
"You remember how I told you about the Millennium Assembly, right?" I nodded, "Well, I've been devising a plan to try and stop them, but I keep finding holes all over in my plans. However, I believe that in your principal's office, there are documents from the MA that contain the information I need. Do you think that you could get the documents for me? I would do it myself, but since I'm not a student, it would be much harder if I tried." Documents from the MA? I wasn't sure. As much as I'd love to help, if I got caught, I would be in so much trouble, which would cost me a lot that I didn't want to lose.
"I want to help Nanners, really, but if I get caught that would mean expulsion and the possibility of authorities. How in the world would I ever manage to get them?" I asked. Nanners grew a mischievous smile that just screamed trouble. He pointed to my necklace that contained Ellie.
"Easy, just use Ellie. She can understand everything you say and will listen to you; after all, you are the one that made her," he said. I thought for a second before deciding to answer. If I helped, there was the possibility of getting caught, but if I managed to not get caught, then I would be helping Adam to stop those that were hurting people.
"Ok, I'll do it," I said finally. Adam's smile grew wide, and without warning he came and enveloped me in a hug.
"Thank you Bryce, you have no idea what this means to me," he said. I laughed slightly and he finally let go.
"Alright, now with that out of the way, let's begin,"

I quietly closed the door behind me as I made my way back into the room. Mini still looked asleep, which made me sigh with relief. I sat down on my bed and reached up to take hold of my necklace. Quickly and without much thought, Ellie formed in my lap. I began to pet her head, hearing her start to purr.
"Alright Ellie, I've got a mission for you, do you think you can do it?" I asked. I chuckled quietly when I heard her give a meow.
"Good kitty. I need you to sneak into the principal's office tomorrow during school and bring back any documents that have to do with the Millennium Assembly." Ellie meowed again and I could only hope she understood. Suddenly I froze when I heard a voice speak.
"Bryce, what the hell is that?" Mini spoke, his voice rough from sleep. I looked up to see Mini rubbing his eyes and putting in his glasses with confusion. I opened my mouth to try and come up with an excuse, but Mini cut me off again.
"I have more than one question. Why is there a cat made out of water, where did it come from, and why are you talking to it?" I chewed on my lower lip, trying to decide if I should tell him the truth or not. In the end, I figured it was better to just tell him rather than try and come up with a lie. I sighed, getting ready to tell him.
"Ok, ok, you caught me. But Mini, before I tell you anything, you have to swear to me that you won't tell anyone. And by that, I mean Wildcat too." Craig gained a slight blush, but he brushed it off as he sat up.
"Alright, I promise," he said.
"Good. Now please, don't be upset with me, but for the past few months, I've kind of been sneaking out to go and meet someone that's been helping me develop my powers. I know that you guys said that you wanted to, but let's face it; we weren't getting anywhere. Here, let me show you," I said, dashing to go and grab a cup of water from the bathroom. I came back with the cup and set it down on my nightstand. Using only my mind, I began to levitate the water. I lifted it from the cup in one stream, where I then maneuvered it around Mini's upper body. His face transformed into one of shock as I created miniature dolphins that jumped out of the stream. I began to feel a dull ache in my head, so I quickly had the water return to the cup.
For a few moments, we sat in silence, until Mini finally spoke up.
"Oh...my...god," he breathed, that was the coolest thing I have ever seen!" He exclaimed. I smiled, glad that he wasn't mad at me.
"Is that why you've been so tired recently?" I nodded, "That's not good you know, but I won't fight you about it tonight. Bryce, it's pretty clear that you have developed your powers very well. Why don't you want to tell the others?" Mini asked.
"I don't know...I guess I'm just scared. What if they don't take it as well as you did? I'm afraid that they will be mad at me for going behind their backs after all they did for me. Especially Ohm, I know how overprotective he can get," I said. Mini gave me a sympathetic smile, which I gladly returned.
"Y'know Bryce, they're going to find out eventually, and you need to be the one that tells them. I know you're scared, but the sooner you tell them, the better. I don't think you have anything to worry about; they're good guys, and I don't think they'll be upset with you. And if they are, I'll give them a stern talking to," Mini said. I laughed quietly.
"Thanks Mini, I appreciate it. I will tell them, I just don't think I'm ready yet. I'll think of a way to tell them, but for now, please keep it a secret?" I pleaded. I could see him comply almost instantly.
"Of course, Bryce, I promise."
