The Powerless

Many asleep

       You were, by now, looking out the window. A small smile on your face as you look at the street. A paved road looks new to you. It looks different then how you are used to.

Luna chuckles at your joy. You were in utter bliss however. Watching the birds tweet and the cars honk. It was a new sight. A beautiful sight.

Ember started to walk out the door. Not that you cared. You could care less what's going on.

Well. Till now. In front of the beautiful sight appeared a man you could hardly recognize. He was falling. You decided that he was most definitely dead. As you were rather high up. And he was falling fast. You couldn't tell if he had wings. By the lack of screaming, he was most likely unconscious.

You turn over and look at Luna. Who was sleeping. Her snores were loud.

Ember came in. Carrying something. Or someone. Tear drop wings hung down. Broken. The person was curled up and ash covered. From his clothes to his shaggy hair. He was covered in black soot. His eyes tight. Unconscious. You recognize him.

It was the man that was falling. "How did he survive?" You ask. Not stopping the words from pouring out of your mouth.

"I flew up and caught him, simple," she smiles. Setting him down on a bed. In a fetus position. She places a blanket on him. Making sure he was warm. Checking his pulse. She gives a slight smile.

"What are you going to do now?" You ask. A curious look stretches upon your face.

"Well, I'm gonna wait till either Luna or this man gets up."

"Why did Luna fall asleep? Why did the man fall?"

"Luna is trying for a prophetic dream before she leaves for the park. And as for him falling, the reason for what happens to people, or what they do, are rarely answered."

"What's his name?"

"I don't know, kid."

"What's his ability? What your ability? What's Luna's ability?"

"Slow down their bud. The man, you have to ask him yourself. I can bend metal into whatever shape I want. As for my wife, she has prophetic dreams. She used to think it was really bad deja vu."

"I bet," you chuckle. You loved hearing everyone's different abilities. The person in the bed groans. Well. The person you don't recognize as easily. He grabs your wrist.

"Run. The highest is coming." He whimpers. Before passing out. He had fear in his voice and sounded absolutely dreadful.

"Who's the highest?" You ask turning to Ember.

"I'm not sure. Probably a bad dream." Ember chuckles. And a bad dream was all The Highest is, whoever that may be.

You deem the dream and whoever this Highest person is as nonsense. And of no use. Any logical person will.

Luna wakes up giving you a smile. "That was a refreshing nap, I think we should change." Luna smiles. She was like a teddy bear. So fluffy. She walks away. As Ember sets something in your hands. An outfit.

It was shorts, that didn't go past your knee but wasn't so short that anyone can see your underwear. The shorts are blue. There was a simplistic gray tang top. A symbol on it that resembled an snake curled around an egg. Or so you think. It was stick figures of course. So it could just as easily be someone getting crushed by a boulder. The symbol is black.

Of course you put on the clothes. Curious to what the symbol means.
