"We need to get out of here" Nick voiced what everybody else was thinking.

"I completely agree. Let's go." Said Greg already walking.

"No! Stop!" Three confused faces turned to Catherine. "We can't get out of here without a good story. I mean, our clothes are dirt and torn but we have no bruises at all. And we have powers, abilities, whatever that we can't explain. If we tell them this, they will either think we are crazy or send us to a lab to be tested. We are all scientists, we can at least try to deal with this by ourselves before have the world thinking we are freaks" She said and everybody had to agree with her.

"So, what are we going to tell them? It will be too weird if we say the explosion completely missed all the four of us." Riley asked.

"We are going to say that Nick found out about the explosions, that's why we all ran out of here. When the explosion went off we were far away from the lab, that's why we're only dirty, nothing really got us". They spent a few more minutes discussing the details of their history, there could be no holes in it, and then it was time for them to face the world.

Jim Brass was worried about the CSIs, he had been called to the B&E turned explosion and after 40 minutes still there was no news about them. And the press people were really annoying him. When he saw four people leaving the building he was relieved and ran to them.

"Are you ok? What the hell happened there? This was only a B&E, wasn't it?"

"Slow down, Jim. We're ok, the explosion didn't get us and we will explain later." Catherine smiled at her very concerned friend.

"Hey Catherine, thank god you are all right, we got a call from your daughter's school, she's at the Desert Palms hospital." Catherine just registered that Officer Mitch was running to her then saying something about Lindsey being in a hospital, she didn't get the part he said that she was ok.

"I'm going to see Lindsey, guys. You go home and rest, we will talk later, we can't work this scene anymore, dayshift will process it. Jim we will give statements later, no one is in condition to do it now." She needed to go see her daughter but wouldn't let her team be questioned in their situation. "And none of us will talk to the press; could you get us a car Jim?" He nodded and went to get a car that wouldn't call everybody's attention to them, dealing with the inconvenient press was the last thing they needed right now.

Catherine turned to her team. "Our clothes are evidence now, we will all get changed and let dayshift bring them to the lab, you all go home and get some rest. Try not to let people know we have these abilities now, we will deal with this when we have our energies back." They were all thankful that they wouldn't have to give their statements right now.

Brass came back with followed by two SUVs. "You can leave by the service entrance, no one will notice you. I will tell the press that everybody's all right later. Now go and rest." Catherine smiled at him. "Thanks Jim."

"Cath, take one SUV and go see Lindsey, I'll drop Greg and Riley then go home." She smiled thankfully at Nick. "And we really need to discuss our situation later." He whispered the last part. "Yeah, I know. You guys can go to my house later; we all have two days off. Thanks Nicky." She smiled at him then turned to Greg. "Remember, no showing of, right?" Greg shot her a fake hurt look, while Riley and Nick laughed at him and Brass looked at them not understanding a thing.

At the hospital Lindsey was extremely bored so she decided to turn on the TV, and as she heard the news that a lab had exploded while a CSI team was processing it she knew that it was her mother's team. She frantically pressed the button to call a nurse; she needed to get out of that hospital right now.

"What's up sweetie?" The over sweet nurse asked her.

"My mom, the explosion, I need to get out of her e NOW!" She could barely say those words. The nurse sighed.

"I already told you, your mother is fine, I called her lab. Oh look, you need new flowers!" Lindsey was now exasperated.

"LOOK AT THE TV!" The nurse did so and went white as she heard the news and realized that the girl was right.

"Ok, calm down sweetie, I'll call the lab again, I'm sure your mother is fine." She said with a forced smile. "Oh the flowers!" and she left hurriedly, apparently she couldn't deal with that situation and really needed to leave the room. The last thing Lindsey needed right now was new flowers, but if this was going to get that nurse out of her room she wouldn't complain. She sighed and started to get up when her mother entered the room.

"Lindsey! Oh my god! What happened? Are you ok?" at the same time Catherine was firing all those questions at her daughter the girl had some of her own. "Weren't you in the explosion? What happened? Are you hurt?" They realized at the same time that they weren't making sense and started laughing. When they managed to contain their laughter Catherine started again.

"Ok, one at a time. Why are you here?" Lindsey chuckled, that was a really bizarre history.

"Well, it's kind of complicated. I was at school, then I dreamed that you were in an explosion and Mr. Grissom and I were there too, then there was another explosion and suddenly I was at school again. I was screaming and had a fever. They thought I was having a convulsion so they brought me here. What about you?" Before Catherine could answer the nurse came back to the room.

"Oh hey sweetie, I got you new flowers! And who are you?" She asked turning to Catherine.

"I'm her mother." The nurse grinned at her and turned to Lindsey.

"See. I told you she would be fine. Now let me put these new flowers here for you! What? I thought these were dead! Well, I guess I was just confused" She said as she stared at the very alive and beautiful flowers that sat on Lindsey's bedside table. "Apparently we won't need this, I will leave you two alone." She smiled with at them. "You look too young to be her mother by the way." And before Catherine could thank her she left.

"Is she always like that?" She asked Lindsey with a raised eyebrow. She rolled her eyes.

"You have no idea. Mom, you are really looking younger, what happened?" Catherine hadn't looked at herself in the mirror after the explosion, so she had no idea that all her wrinkles were gone, she looked at least 20 years younger. She went to the bathroom and stared at herself in the mirror.

"Wow, that's weird. A good kind of weird, but still. That explosion is starting to sound like a good thing. I hope there's no collateral effect." She was smiling now.

"Mom, what happened?" She turned to her daughter and realized that they needed to leave the hospital before someone noticed what was wrong with them, and she had another insight. Lindsey and Gil could be affected too. She could teletransportate people. What if she had brought Lindsey to the explosion? Hundreds of thoughts were flooding her mind. Gil had been there too. Had him and Lindsey been affected too? This wasn't looking good.

"Mom!" She was taken out of her reverie by her daughter. "What honey?"

"The doctor is here." And in fact there was a young doctor by her bedside. Catherine smiled at him.

"Oh, hi, I'm sorry. I was somewhere else. I'm Catherine Willows." The doctor grinned at her.

"I'm dr. Steve and I took care of this young lady. Apparently there's nothing wrong with her. I looked through her medical records and this is the first time she had something like this so I'll release her with no medication, but it would be good if she stayed home for a couple of days and if this happens again please contact me immediately." He finished with a smile.

"Thank God. And thank you doctor." She had a relieved smile on her face.

"Well, in this case I really did nothing. And, if you allow me the liberty, Miss Willows, you look kind of young to have a fifteen year old daughter." Catherine suspected he was flirting with her.

"Believe me, I am." She grinned at him, a little flirting would do no harm. "So, can I get Lindsey home now?" Catherine was really glad that they hadn't found anything wrong with her daughter but she didn't want to take risks either, it was yet to be confirmed that she had brought her to the explosion. And she needed to talk to Gil.

"Yes you can. Well, I'm sorry to say I hope we don't meet again very soon. At least not in this situation."

"Of course dr." With one last smile he left the room.

"He was flirting with you." She turned to the girl. "And you were letting him."

"Oh, come on Lindsey, we will never see him again… Hopefully" She said to the teenager who had a mock glare look in her face. "He was cute, though." Lindsey said.

"That's enough. I'm the mother here. Go get dressed in decent clothing while I call Grissom." She ushered Lindsey to the bathroom.

"Why? Mom, you really have to tell me what's going on." Lindsey was really concerned now.

"I will tell you when we get home. We can't discuss this here." She told her as she started calling Gil.

"NOW I'm concerned." Lindsey said and got into the bathroom.

Gil's phone went straight to voicemail. "Gil, as soon as you hear this call me or go to my place. It's an emergency."

When Catherine and Lindsey got home four SUVs were already parked there.

"Why does my house looks like a parking lot?" She asked Gil, Nick, Greg and Riley.

"Couldn't sleep." Greg said.

"Same here." Riley agreed.

"Me neither. And we have things to discuss."Nick added.

"You called me. What's going on?" Gil was the last one to speak.

"Oh my god, you all look younger. Ok, everybody inside now. We have a lot to discuss."

After they had explained everything that had happened to Grissom and Lindsey, she was excited and he was analytical.

"So, Gil and I are supposed to have superpowers too?" She asked, her smile couldn't be bigger.

"Probably."Said Nick.

"What I still don't get is WHY Grissom and Lindsey ended up there."Greg thought loud.

"Well, I can summon people, so I guess they were the last ones I thought about." Catherine looked really embarrassed to say this. Grissom looked confused and Lindsey, Nick, Riley and Greg looked smug. Catherine cleared her throat.

"I have an idea what Lindsey's ability might be. Linds, try to think about that plant growing." The girl turned to said plant and it started growing. She was now bewildered. "So I can control plants? That's so cool!"

"Don't get too excited honey, we don't know if this is temporary or if there's any collateral effect." Catherine tried to calm her daughter. "And we still need to find out Gil's ability." She turned to the man that had stayed quiet during all the conversation. "Nothing strange happened, except for the fact that I look a lot younger." He sighed.

"Well then, we have to find out what's Grissom's superpower and what happened to us." Nick summed what everybody was thinking.

"We should have kept those files you found Nick." Catherine looked at him.

"We could still get them." Greg was looking very smug. Riley turned to him with the same face.

"Breaking and entering." They said in unison.

Sorry it took so long for me to update, but I had to do some modifications in the history.

So what's Gil's superpower? lol

I promise there's just one more chapter of this slow stuff, then we're off to the action!
