So I just finished LIES and I was thinking, what if Zil got powers? And that was the inspiration for the fic that you are about to read.

Disclaimer- Unfortunately, I don't own GONE no matter how much I want to! Fortunately, I don't own Zil and I don't think I'll ever want to.

I wasn't supposed to get powers. I'm the leader of the Human Crew, for God's sake. That means the crew for normals, not freaks! But that's what I am now. A freak. A moof. A chud.

I spend all my time preaching to people about how much I hate freaks, protesting against them, making sure that the normals would one day overcome the freaks. And now I've turned into one of them. An unnatural freak of nature.

If I was to get any powers, I'd have hoped for something useful. Maybe not something quite as flashy as Sam's, or unnoticeable like Diana's, and definitely not as disturbing as Orc's! I probably have the worst power known to man. I don't see how it can help me in fights or use it to my own benefit.

For you see, my power is to tie shoelaces with my mind. That's it. Tying shoelaces. Not even growing shoelaces so they can strangle people, or being able to shoot shoelaces or even morphing into shoelaces, but tying them. Tying shoelaces! That's my power. What kind of crappy power is that?

The freaks are having one of their freak meeting, discussing their powers. How embarrassing it would be for me with my dumb power. I can see it now

"I can shoot killer light rays from my hand!"

"Well I can run faster than a speeding bullet."

"Hah! I move objects with my mind."

"Hey what do you do, Zil?"

"I tie shoelaces with my mind."

I'm mortified just thinking about it.

I discovered my powers this morning when I was getting ready to go out with Lance. Well not go out with him, go out with him, but out with him and Lisa and Turk and some other normals. I'd overslept and I'd completely forgotten about my meeting with the Human Crew. Astrid had made it a law that everybody must be treated equally, but as if we were going to stop because of that. We weren't actually going to hurt anybody. We'd tried that and it failed.

Anyway, I was in a hurry to get ready and I couldn't find my usual trainers, the ones with Velcro instead of laces, so I had to make do with a pair of some old lace up ones. I wasn't entirely sure who they belonged to, but they fitted me. Lance -the handsome, tall and dreamy Lance- was yelling at me to hurry up. Unfortunately, the laces on my shoes were awkward to tie up. They were old and fraying at the ends, not to mention how short they were! Lance kept shouting at me, and I didn't want to be made a fool of by such a popular guy, and I was angry and I just wished that the shoelaces would tie themselves. And then, just like that, they were tied.

Just like that.

I wanted to try my power out on other shoes, just to check it wasn't my imagination but of course, I had no time. I had to quickly sprint out the door to catch up with Lance, who had decided to go off without me.

I just hope that he didn't see it happen. Because if he did, I'm screwed. Especially because I'm on my way for a meeting with the Human crew. Who won't be very happy if their leader of their anti freak club happens to be a freak himself.

I have a feeling that this won't end well.

So, what did you think of my first ever GONE fanfic? Should I continue or just leave it as it is?
