Joe's P.O.V
I really didn't know what to think. I finally met someone who is like me. Ever since she got here, I wondered why she kept herself so bottled up, but I guess this is why.

"This is so weird..." She pointed out, like I didn't already know that…

"Yeah...can you do anything else? I mean I can read minds and I have super strength." Words just piled out of my mouth without thinking. I'm just a little overwhelmed at the moment.

"Yeah." I didn't notice it at first, but then I saw her getting taller than me. I looked down and saw that her feet were off the ground. She could fly.

"You can fly. That's amazing." I looked up at her as she set herself back down on the ground.

"Want to go...fly with me? It's an exhilarating experience." She asked, her eyes sparkling.

"Oh, uhm don't tell anyone, but I'm a little scared of heights. Maybe some other time when I'm more used to you."

"Oh, alright. This is just so weird. I never thought I'd meet anyone like me."

"Same here" I agreed with a small smile.

We sat on my bed and played X-box for hours. We talked about our powers and our lives. I felt horrible when she discussed her mother. I don't know what I'd do without my mom. Since I never had a dad because he died before I was born while in the army.

This was the first time I actually connected with somebody. I've had friends before, but Ive only known this girl for a day or so and I feel like I've known her my whole life.

"Too bad these powers wouldn't work like Superman. We can't save the world." She said as the game on X-Box loaded.

"Who knows? We could make them work. Everyone loves a superhero."

"Guy superheroes." She mumbled, but because I could read her mind, I knew exactly what she said.

"There was um... Elasta Girl or Wonder Woman. Something like that. And Jessica Alba in that one movie." I tried to cheer her up.

"The Fantastic Four; and it doesn't matter, because those are fake, this is the real life, not a comic book."

"Whatever; but one day, you never know they could come in handy." I said.

It was the wrong thing to say.

This was what was going through her mind:

He's right. I could've saved my mom from that plane crash. I could have agreed to go with her on that trip and when it crashed, I could have saved her and every other innocent person on that plane. But, no, I was mad at my mom and didn't go with her.

"Stop it." I cut in before I could hear anymore.

"Stop what?" She looked over at me in shock.

"Stop thinking that your mom's death is your fault. Everything happens for a reason."

"Were you reading my mind?" Her eyes went from shock, to surprise and then to mad as I hesitated to answer her.

"Well, yeah. I can't just-" She quickly cut me off.

"That's really an invasion of privacy, don't you think? And don't tell me what to think." She threw the controller right on my GUY parts and walked out of my room. That's nice. Does she not know that I can't control the mind reading powers? I don't mean to read the minds of others, I just hear it.
