The Five Demigods

Chapter 63

"Okay, Curly." Leigh said. "What are your abilities?"

"Oh, right to the point. Okay. Um, speed and strength, I think."

"Oh, lovely." She rolled her eyes. "Okay, run to that tree." She pointed to a tree that was to her left, It was pretty far away and would take him at least 10 seconds to get to, if he was running at a full sprint.

"Normally or..."

Leigh gave him a look. "What are we doing here?" She crossed her arms.

"Training."

"Which is?"

"Learning how to use our abilities."

"So, how do you think I want you to run to the tree?"

"With my speed..."

"Good job." She gave a sassy smile.

Avi gritted his teeth. "You know, I'm not a child."

"To me, you are."

Avi sighed. "Why are you such a bitch?"

She glared at him.

"I mean, the only person your even a little lenient with is Mitch, of all people."

"I have my reasons. And the time for you to find those out, isn't right now. We need to get you guys able to control your powers, or you could basically glitch out, and get yourself killed."

"That has nothing to do with what I just asked you."

"Oh, I know."

"So, why are you such a bitch?"

"Why are you such a dick? I've seen the way you interact with everyone."

He dropped the topic. He really didnt wanna argue.

"Alrighty, so your abilities are more offensive, so were gonna test your reflexes."

"Okay."

"Right after you run to the tree."

"Oh my fucking god." He mumbled. He was grouchy today, obviously.

He rubbed his face, which was slowly getting its beard back. Now, he really just had stubble. It wasn't much. But it was better than a clean face.

"Okay, brace yourself, amd think about speed. Imagine yourself moving super fast."

Avi got in the same position he would if he were to do a sprint and did what he was told to.

He bolted about half way before he slowed down to his normal pace, he groaned and continued running to the tree.

"That's the best you got?! Come on, if your gonna act all big and bad, at least play the part!!"

Avi closed his eyes and tried to keep calm.

"I'm gonna stay over here for a sec." He announced.

Leigh chuckled and turned to the group. "Kirstie, could you come here please?"

Kirstie looked up for a second, unsure of why she was being called. "Yes?" She said as she walked over.

"I have an idea on how to get Avi's powers to kick in, but I need your help."

"What's up?"

"I want to get him angry. I've learned that abilities tend to be triggered by strong emotions. Like, when I discovered I could shift, I was terrified."

"Okay, so, how do we make him angry?"

"How does he like getting hit with something?"

Kirstie shook her head immediately. "Not a good idea. Which is perfect."
