"No," Lucas said without even removing his eyes from the computer screen. I groaned in complaint.

"Please? Finn needs our help to learn how to use his powers. Maybe even once he's trained he can help protect the city with us." He still didn't look convinced. "You can even go on with your relaxing day of hacking and I'll train him just like you taught me. It'll be fine." He let out a huff.

"Okay. But if he tries anything like he did before break, he's gone." I grinned nodding and gave a thumbs up to Finn who was just up the stairs waiting. He came downstairs and looked around at the lab. He didn't look overly excited but looked impressed. I giddily ran to the small room with the punching bag and other training equipment. "Tadaaaa!" I exclaimed with jazz hands. Finn smiled and rubbed his hands together.

"Alright! What first?"

"Let's work on deciding what to morph into. I'll give you a situation and you morph." After I explained Finn got ready. I thought up a possible scene. "You're in the city when you hear a siren going towards a fire in a building, what do you do?"

"First, I'd change into a cheetah and run to the building." He morphed into a cheetah and changed back. "Then I don't know, go get the people inside I guess."

"Well think about it, imagine all the people calling animal control because a cheetah is loose in the city. I would do a bird and fly in windows like that to get people out." I explained and Finn nodded.

We imagined more scenarios and he started getting better at answering. However he also started getting bored.

"Can we take a break?" Finn whined and I shook my head. He pouted.

"It's only been twenty minutes." I defended making him pout even more. He morphed into a small animal. A puppy. The puppy adorably begged at my feet and I groaned. "You can't just change into a dog every time you want something. Not fair." Finn morphed back with his neck right up to my face to me, arms around my waist.

"So is that a yes?" I felt his breath on my forehead. I blushed, we had only been dating for a few days now but things were moving fast.  It may have felt like that only because I hadn't be in a relationship since like 8th grade. Anyway, I forgot how to breathe but shrugged. Finn must've taken that as a yes because his lips locked with mine. My hand landed on his chest and the other on his neck. Soon I was pinned against the nearest wall. His hand tangled in my hair. I wished it could last forever but he pulled away and rested his forehead on mine. Honestly, I didn't know how he thought making out was considered a break because I was more out of breath than before. Hey, I'm not complaining though.

We decided to end our training session and we walked into the lab where Lucas was on the computer. He looked up for a split second and I sensed a bit of anger that he was trying to hide. I walked up to Lucas' side.

"Hey, what's wrong?" He kept his eyes on the screen. I knelt down by him, something was definitely bothering him. "Look at me and tell me what's wrong." I said firmly. Reluctantly he looked me in the eye.

"I just got caught hacking that's all." He was lying, I sensed it. I raised my eyebrows.

"You got caught hacking? Seriously Lucas." He rubbed his eye before groaning.

"Fine. Why didn't you tell me that you two were dating?" I wanted to be invisible and run. The one person who I wanted to tell myself found out and was hurt. I grimaced.

"How'd you find out?"

"Well, when you made out during your 'training' with the door open your fate was sealed." He spoke with his teeth clenched. I knew we should've closed the door.
