Celestial

Part 10-Trial

Two days later

"So your telling me that you injected me with a drug that you've never tested. And now I have ice powers," Caleb said while he sat on a chair in the basement of the Ainsworth's house.

"Well, yes." Gaia replied when she turned to Morgan.

"I did it to save us, you were the only one in there that was exposed to the parasite. If I didn't do that, we both would've been dead," Morgan told Caleb who looked down at his hands. He had ice forming in his palms as he looked back up.

"You are a meta human now, or at least until we figure out a way to reverse the injection." Gaia explained.

"Why are you two doing all this in the first place? It doesn't make sense for two young girls to be creating something that scientists can't even do!" Caleb asked looking from Gaia then to Morgan.

"All I have ever wanted to do was help people," Gaia said. "This could do just that."

"But I can't even touch something without it freezing, how am I supposed to hang out with Mark?" Caleb questioned trying to make the ice on his hands go away.

"Here, take this necklace. It will dampen your powers." Morgan said handing over a silver necklace.

"Okay...if this doesn't work and I end up hurting that hottie, I'll come after you both and freeze y'all," Caleb responded half jokingly. Just as the Hispanic guy put the necklace on, the ice started to go away.

"Go get that man," Gaia said pushing Caleb out of the chair to go on his date.

Morgan turned to Gaia saying, "We need to test this out on a person who hasn't been exposed to the parasite. It obviously works on people like Caleb who've been infected by the parasites."

"Who though? I don't want to end up killing anyone without being sure this will work." Gaia went over to a computer typing on it. She opened a list of hospitals around the general area. "Maybe mama can get a few sick people for a clinical trial of sorts."

"No, I'm doing it. I'll take the injection." Morgan stated before she turned around heading upstairs. Quickly, Gaia looked at her sister with a worried look.

Terra lifted her hand making a lilac flower grow fast. She focused her whole body when Rowan came into her room knocking on her door.

"Ro, don't distract me!" Terra yelled while she glanced back at her older brother. "I've almost got this down. If I get this plant healing down, then mama will allow me to apply for school next year. High school like Gaia and Morgan."

"Are you okay? After that person broke into our house taking Gaia's journals for who knows what reason, you've been different." Rowan asked trying to check on his sister.

"Yes, Ro, I'm fine. I'm a Celestinan, I can handle anything." Terra responded before she went back to the flower. As she placed her hand above the flower, it sprouted quickly growing around her arm. She smiled when she felt how the flower was feeling.

"Okay then. Just if you need something, Daisy and I are going after another alien, and it might take me a couple hours." Rowan told Terra. Terra turned to him and nodded before she looked back at the purple flower.
