-9 MONTHS LATER-
For the first time in passing, Andy met the eyes of Jinxx.
And he knew.
Jinxx subtly switched his walking habit to follow Andy, finding CC by his side without a word spoken or a glance traded. For once, CC wasn't fidgeting or anxious. He was serious and calm as they headed up to a balcony overlooking the square where prisoners were executed.
Waiting there was Ashley, Andy's best friend. It made sense, Jinxx realized. Andy had probably known this whole time, but didn't say anything to save their identities. "It's time." Andy told them. "I know who the last member is."
They all exchanged looks before returning their gaze to their leader. Instead of talking, Andy leaned against the balcony, his gaze finding a black, white and grey figure trapped in the whipping restraints, being prepared for tomorrow's execution. Once again, the older boys found themselves questioning the almost 16 year olds judgement. "He killed the cat of the Voice of FEAR's daughter. By petting it." Andy informed them.
An uncomfortable silence hung in the air, the tension could be cut with a knife. "Andy, are you sure about this?" Jinxx asked quietly, placing a hand on his shoulder.
"Am I sure about someone who could light an entire building on fire with a brush of their hands? Or someone who can punch through walls and break earth? Of someone who can charm their way into people's heads to get them to do their bidding? Am I sure of every time I get thrown in jail, it's for a reason?" Andy raised an eyebrow. "Of course I'm sure."
"Our powers are one thing, but... causing death by a single touch..." CC whispered.
"He's powerful. But he can learn to control it. You all have." Andy promised. "Tonight, bring only what you can carry. We're breaking Jake out and then we're leaving." He told them before walking away without a word.
A guard walked by, and the other three effortlessly seemed in a casual conversation. It occurred to them that Andy was smart to walk away, they were all around the same age, but he was way younger. It was less suspicious if he wasn't around them.
"You can Charmspeak?" Jinxx answered Ashley.
"And you can set things on fire with your hand," Ashley acknowledged with a smirk.
"And I break things," CC piped up. "Hey, we should have codenames!"
Jinxx and Ashley exchanged a look before walking away.
CC frowned and looked back down at Jake.
