Chapter 7 – The Big Meet

Flashes continually blinked in Mystic's eyes, unable to get away from the paparazzi of a crowd.

"Stop..." she murmured. She couldn't take it anymore, so she released a telekinetic burst of energy, forcing the people to fall back unexpectedly. They thought it was just a sudden burst of air from the wind.

Mac, near the Tower as well, was flying near the scene and felt the force wave touch him as well. He looked over and saw the unicorn with her head down, in front of a crowd of people. He was surprised that she was real too. Though he wanted to mind his own business, his conscience told him to help her. So he warped to where Mystic was, which got the crowd's attention even more. The cardinal had appeared from out of nowhere. They wanted to get proof of him as well, but Mac would not allow that.

"Don't even think about it," he warned in a dark, heavy voice. The people were stricken with fear. Somehow, he knew just how to scare people away. "Now, go away... before I get very angry..." The people heeded his warning and frantically fled elsewhere. Mystic was scared herself, but Mac calmed down for her, seeing that she was the victim.

"Don't hurt me..." she pleaded.

"I won't. I just wanted them to leave. You're safe."

Mystic rose her head. "Thanks. Who are you?"

"Mac. I guess you're headed for the Tower too." Mystic saw the watch on his wing, relieved that he was clearly not against her.

"I'm just glad we're on the same page. Okay then, let's go." They both moved towards the double-crossed "T" structure in the center of the island.


Mac and Mystic arrived at the front entrance of Titans Tower. Looking up close, it seemed like it towered for miles. It was almost as tall as the Empire State Building. Mystic tried to look up and see how far it rose up and almost fell backward, but Mac caught her, saying that the time for sightseeing was later and that they needed to find Sweet as soon as possible. The two entered the Tower, seeing all of the various eye-catchers on the first floor. They could not fathom how it was all put together. The closer and closer they got to the top section of the Tower, the more amazed they became at all of the wonders of the Tower. They were walking toward the fourth floor elevator, about to arrive at the final section of the Tower.

"Please tell me I'm dreaming..." said Mystic.

"You're not," answered Mac, also surprised, "it's gonna take awhile to get used to all of this." They entered the elevator and moved to the top section. They didn't find Sweet yet, so he had to be here. They exited the elevator, walking into the living room.

"Hello?" called Mystic.

A red orangutan popped his head above the top of one of the sofas to see his visitors. "Hey," he replied to her. "Can I help you guys?"

"Are you Sweet Summers?" asked Mac.

"Yes," he answered, identifying himself.

"We got your message." Mac and Mystic raised their identical watches, that were also identical to Sweet's. His work was a success. After two years, he finally found two other people that are like him. He awaited the next nine, but until then, he wanted to see what they could do.

"All right then, let me see your skills." Mystic went first, as she levitated one of the sofas and moved it around the room. Sweet was impressed, seeing her float as well. She then descended back to the floor.

"Mystic is my name... you were about to ask."

"How did you—?" asked Sweet, startled.

"I can read minds, from time to time."

"Okay. Really nice. And what about—hey, where'd he go?" Mac had disappeared from his spot and then reappeared when Sweet turned around.

"Right here," said Mac, as he then teleported in front of Sweet, which surprised him.

"Whoa!" yelled Sweet.

"It's called teleportation." He instantly traveled to Mystic, scaring her as well. "Someday you'll get used to it."

"I hope so," implied Sweet. "Well, you guys have heard my message already. Not only are you welcome to stay here, but sooner or later, we will find a way to control or even improve our powers. To tell the truth, I'm not in full control of my powers either. (as he shows them) I can control fire, shoot lasers from my eyes, and use these metal claws... but I think there's room for improvement. But anyway, almost anything you could ever need is here at Titans Tower. So, make yourself at home!"

Mac understood him, and teleported to the roof of the Tower for a moment alone. He attempted to free his mind of all of the pain he went through back in Barcelona. He could only let go of a little bit of the six years of heartache. He had lost everything, so now it is time for him to start over, hopefully.

Mystic stayed inside to look at the rest of the Tower. Before she started to do that, she hugged Sweet, thanking him for doing all of this. Then, as she walked to the elevator to go down to the suites on the third section, a cougar appeared inside the elevator, in search of Sweet.

"Hey, how're you doing?" he greeted Mystic, walking on.

"Okay..." she replied, wondering why he was there. She moved on, anyways.

The cougar, Canyon, had promised on coming back to face the possible verdict of Sweet. He reached the living room and found the orangutan.

"Are you Sweet?" he asked.

"Yes, why?"

"Um..." he paused, uneasy about how Sweet may act when he tells him about what happened before. "First of all, I have your watch and I heard your call."

"Good." Sweet smiled.

"And another thing... remember when you were coming out of the Tower and then something hit you? My bad..."

"That was YOU? It's alright, as long as I'm not dead, I'm happy!" Sweet spoke optimistically, chuckling.

Canyon was relieved to see that he was not in trouble.

"So," Sweet continued, "what can you do?"

Canyon displayed his electrokinesis by clapping his hands together, which now made a thunder-like sound. Mac and Mystic heard it and came back to the living room to meet Canyon. Canyon then separated them and generated sparks on his fingertips, which he then threw upward to collide into each other, creating a light show for the four of them.

"That's awesome," complimented Sweet, who then introduced Canyon to Mac, Mystic, and his new living purpose.

"So what do we do now?" Canyon asked, since Sweet had sent six other watches around the world.

"Hmm, we can do two things. One, we live life until someone new shows up... or two, we find some feature on this watch that'll help us track them down."

With that in mind, Sweet, Mystic, Mac and Canyon sought to not only live together with all of what their new lives have in store for them, but also to await the rest of the potential friends that they may encounter in the near or distant future.
