Training, training, and more training. Paige said they had a week, and it had been the longest four days of his life. Louis climbed into bed next to Eleanor and collapsed, he looked over at her and she was already asleep, he kissed her on the head and rolled over. A week, just three days until, according to Paige, New York was going to be attacked and Darius, with the help of forty people with abilities would try to take over the world. When did his life become a comic book? The powers were cool, but villains that wanted to take over the world and for all he knew enslave the human race? Not cool. Training had been intense, things were happening, they were getting stronger, better, and new powers were arising. By watching Harry Zayn had learned how to use his abilities over fire to shoot lightening, he couldn't control the voltage and it left him really tired but he could do it if worse came to worse. Metal was of the earth and by watching Perrie Niall learned how to control metal as well. He was also starting to think that Perrie hadn't yet reached her full potential, sometimes when she was metal bending things without metal in them would start to slightly shake, but even with all the training she hasn't mastered how to move non-metal objects. Paige learned how to put her thoughts into other people's head on a large scale, so when people tried to attack her she could instead change their minds into attacking each other. The greatest number she could do this with though was eight, and it wore her out completely. Eleanor learned how to create tornados, and Danielle found out that everything had water in it, so if she was somewhere without water nearby she could take it from the plants, and while trying this she learned how to blood bend. She could control the blood within people's bodies. It was incredibly painful to whoever she was doing it to, and she was horrified of herself of being able to take people's wills away like that, she swore never to use this power. Erin had been training in hand to hand combat for awhile, she was officially a fifth degree black belt in karate, so she could kick anyone's ass without having to be invisible. Liam could transform into animals and humans faster he barely had to think about it, and he was practicing turning into Darius to see if he could call off this fight before it even started. Harry had refused to train. He didn't believe Paige, and he would never fight his sister. But Louis had convinced him. Harry couldn't just control lightening but he could control weather completely. He could make it thunderstorm, or hail, or he could produce a hurricane. Thinking about all this had Louis on edge and he didn't even realize he was floating out of bed until he almost hit the ceiling. Super strength and flying. He thought he had the best abilities. He dropped back down on his mattress and thought about the good byes today. Everyone would be flying, or taking a cruise to New York in different ways as to not attract headlines so Darius wouldn't catch on to them. They were so hard. Niall had not wanted to leave Erin's side and refused to arrive in New York separately. She had finally convinced him but he held on to her util she had to leave and they shared a long parting kiss. Louis an Eleanor were taking a plane so he didn't have to say goodbye. Liam would be swimming there, he would turn into a shark and Danielle would follow him using her water bending abilities, now that would be fun to watch. Zayn was so nervous that he had accidently burnt Perrie's hand while holding it. Danielle had healed it but he was mortified they went for a long walk and when they came back it looked like Zayn had been crying but they held each other until it was time to go. Harry and Paige were the most disappointing. Harry left as soon as the training ended and Paige looked after him with eyes brimming with tears. "Will you come to New York with us Harry?" She had called out. "Yes, I'm going to show everyone that you lied about my sister." Was his reply. When Harry left Paige broke down and he overheard her telling Erin later that Harry had all these conflicting thoughts in his head. He didn't want to leave Paige in case she was right and she might die in New York, he still loved her. But he didn't know if that love was a fake thing Paige had put in his head. All he knew was that he wanted Gemma back, then he would figure out the rest later.

 Pain beyond comprehension. That's all he remembered about the day that the world went to hell, the day that he died. He loved visiting the US, and New York was one of his favorite cities. He planned to spend this weekend relaxing, shopping, and going to clubs. He also planned to try to avoid Paige at all costs. He dreamt about her every night, and woke up every morning wishing she were beside him. And he planned to get her back as soon as they went back to London, after everyone would see that Paige, had  lied no not lied.... had misinformation about Darius and his sister. Then he would apologize for the way he acted and beg her to take him back. She would know he was sincere because she could read his mind-literally. He knew now that she would never manipulate him into loving her and he felt like a total jackass. He was just worried about Gemma and once she was safe he would go to Paige, and he hoped she would take him back. His plane landed in New York City and as he headed to his hotel he thought he had everything figured out and he was happy everything would work out but he didn't know that he was being watched and that everything was about to go to hell.
