The Mystic Times

Chapter Two: Tea Talk

I sat down at the table with The Bitch while the man who helped me up was brewing some tea on the stove. The lady was getting on my last nerve, but I had to take measures into my own hands and ask some questions.
"So, um..." I didn't want to sound stupid, but that didn't work.
"What do you want? If you want to ask questions then do it already." Said the lady.
"My lord Meriah, mind my french, can you not be such a total asshole to the newcomer?" Said the man. He was so mindful of his words.
"Ugh-" I stopped her before she could even finish her annoying sentence.
"What're your names?" I said politely but also trying to speak over the supposed Meriah.
"I'm sure you don't want to hear her speak so I'll tell you. I'm Josh McCannon and this is Meriah Statin. We are members of the group named The Mystic Times. There are six of us, including you, but one hasn't come yet." Josh explained. Such an adorable name... I need to stop thinking about him and ask questions.
"So, wait..." I paused, "you said that I'm apart of your little group. I never agreed to that."
"You sure did shit-head. Oh, I'm sorry, I meant Estell. Once you were born, you were destined to have powers and to come here at the ripe age of 15. Everyone did, but if you were the first one, you have to wait here like Josh did in the quiet space till you have another member come. He's 19, almost 20 now, so he spent 4-5 years of his life here already. Me, I've only spent around 3. And the others, maybe 2." Meriah explained.
"Whoa... who are the others?"
"There's Ciae, who's half robot, and Amber, she a cat girl. We all have powers too. I've told you mine, I can see auras, read minds, and I have more strength then I used to. Ciae has gun gloves and rocket boots, so she can fly and have a long range weapon. And she an altered intelligence so she is incredibly smart." Josh said as he sat down at the table with three cups of tea. He passed them out accordingly.
"Thanks Josh, anyway, I myself only have the ability's to grow plants out of the ground and I'm somewhat faster then the normal Usain Bolt. Well, it's mostly I can use nature to fight. Amber has telepathy and can become a cat so she has more ability to get into smaller areas and can jump pretty high."
"What about me... and you said 6 people are in this. There's only 5 to speak of," I said quizzically, "And Thank you."
"Well," I heard a voice come from a hallway say, "hmm. You look to have teleportation... and well, time travel!" She was just about in front of me now. I'm assuming this is Ciae, if my eyes don't deceive me.
"Oh, hello. You must be Ciae. Nice to meet you!" I exclaimed. She looked so freaking cute and cool at the same time!! She had a robo-belt, some cool arm bands, ugh she's a cool gal-robot-thing.
I could tell Josh was smirking from hearing my fan-girling about Ciae in my head. I was smiling because I couldn't stop myself.
"Oh, I see you've gotten to know these two here. Why wasn't I invited to the welcoming party?" Ciae said jokingly.
"Heh, so I have teleportation and time travel... when does all this come together where I can use it? Why didn't I know about this sooner?"
I could see all their faces sort of scrunch up uncomfortably. They looked nervous. I could see Josh and Meriah almost huddle while they had a whisper convorsation.
"Are we going to have to tell her?" I could hear coming from the whispers. "Now? She just got here."
"Now I'm curious." I said aloud.
