Karma

One on One with Gary

"Woah woah...calm down Steward."

I grimaced.
"Don't call me that."

He wrinkled his forehead. "Are you feeling well? Did you get possessed?"

His shirt was starting to get black and dusty, so I dropped him on the ground.
"Why am I here?"

He tilted his head as if he was confused.
"What do you mean? You're here to train."

I shook my head.
"I went into the past."

Agent 3 looked bored.
"Ok and...?"

"I got my power from being struck by lightning? That's not possible. I want answers."

Agent 3 sighed and stood up, brushing his shirt.
"Listen buddy, I don't know why. But you rude as hell to burn my $5 shirt. It was on sale you midget."

It was my turn to tilt my head now.
Dr. Cory stepped in.
"Yeah none of us knows how all of you got your powers to be honest. We just kind of got a list of people we need to take in."

I scratched my head.
This is getting so confusing.

Whatever.

Lilliana stepped in.
"But you're fine right? What did you go back to?"

I pursed my lips.
"The day that I was kidnapped into the academy."

"Kidnapped?"

I nodded.

Agent 3 rolled his eyes.
"Hey I said it wasn't kidnapping."

"WHAT DO YOU CALL THE ACTION OF SHOVING SOMEONE INTO A CAR AND DRIVING THEM AWAY?" I hissed.

Agent 3 narrowed his eyes and turned away.

The others popped up behind me.
"I don't remember what happened before I got into the academy." They said.

I didn't reply.
So it's true. No one remembers, and the source of where we got our powers is unknown as well.

I felt a slap on my head and groaned.
"WHO SAID YOU ALL CAN TALK? GO TRAIN."
Dr. Cory shouted.

Damn why she smack me only?
Rude.

Someone was about to tackle me when Dr. Cory used telekinesis and blasted them away.

"Train individually."

Yes, please. I've had enough of crazy students wanting to kill me.

I yawned as I stepped up to a random station.

A brick wall.
You heard it, a brick wall.

I breathed out a sigh of relief.
Feels good to be out of the ghost form.
I placed my fingers together and generated a fizzing light on my fingertips.
As I slowly separated my fingers, a chain of lightning twirled around.

It felt like being scratched slowly by a dog's claw.

Zing
CRACK.

The brick wall fell down with a thud, and dust particles flew up in air.
I took a breath in, and then choked on the dust.
Bad idea.

I also found out that the more powerful spells are, the more it hurts.

Someone who was also standing besides me on the brick wall station gaped at the crumbled pieces of brick.
