Two Sides One Coin

Just A Dream . . .

A white light . . .

Something Jack has seen on more than one occasion. Something that feels . . . Inviting, yet you feel as if you have intruded someone's life.

A bright flash . . .

Darkness . . .

A loud beeping pulled Jack from the dream world. He wakes up, still hazed by sleep, better said than the lack of. He notices that his arm was outstretching towards the ceiling, as if reaching for something.

"But what?" asks Jack, as if hoping for an answer.

"Good morning Jack. Did you have that dream again?" asks Alpha as he turns off the alarm clock.

"Yeah, yeah I did, Alpha. Did you get any data about my dream this time?" replies Jack.

"No; it still puzzles me," Alpha replies sadly.

"Hey, chin up buddy! I need you to do your best, and that's what you've been doing," replies Jack in an attempt to keep Alpha from beating himself up again. "So what's on the news, buddy?"

"Well, um . . . people still don't like you, Jack. Your kill last night really stirred up some heat with the DH sympathizers," replies Alpha, shaking his head. 

"Well, that's not a first now is it, buddy?" Jack asks jokingly. "Now my only question is, 'what to make for breakfast?' "

Jack started to contemplate the fact that everything from after he killed the DH, as well as when he went to sleep, was all a dream. He then starts toward the kitchen, but Alpha stops him to give a suggestion. 

"Hold on, Jack. Why don't you try using your powers to see if the dream affected you like last time?" He asks. "Try using a portal to get the left side of the kitchen sink." 

"Well, here it goes," says Jack as he attempts to make a portal to the kitchen.

Unknown to Jack, it wasn't a dream. He had actually met Angela and had her stay the night.

"Hey, not half bad, Alpha. I can make them fine," Jack states as he finishes making the portals.

"Try going through it, Jack,"

"Well hear I go!" Jack says as he jumps through the portal, "Look out!" Yells Jack as he sees Angela and simultaneously remembers that last nigth night was not a dream of him being a hero to a girl.

Jack collided with Angela, faceplanting into her forhead, head-butting her.

Jack, now dazed, says as he rubs his head, "who knew you had such a hard head."

"Yeah, well, your floor is harder." Remarks Angela as she feels her head and rear.

They hear Alpha laughing in the back ground. Jack angrily replies, "You had this planned from when I fell asleep didn't you Alpha!?" Jack gets up and walks to Angela, "Hey Angel are you okay?"

"Yeah, I think so." Replied Angela "By the way, what was that?" She adds with a puzzled expression.

"Well, it's just one of the powers I was born with." Jack says as he makes a shadow orb in his hand with his powers, "Were you not born with any?"

"I-I don't know if I was or not, i didn't even know people like you or me had powers." Angela says with a confused expretion.

"Well, I didn't even know there were people like me until I met you"Jack tells her, "to be honest, I thought I was dreaming." He added with a smile, "Alpha, can you run the scan on Angel you did last nigth and compair it to my powers to see if she any?"
